I do not own any of the rights to Jericho; I do not own the characters or the setting or anything of that nature. I own the characters I create and I'm just playing around with one of my favorite TV shows.
Summary: Samantha Little left Jericho two days before the bombs to visit her parents, her and Stanley Richmond had just gotten engaged. Stanley thinking she's dead falls in love with Mimi. What happens when Samantha reappears weeks after the bombs went off?
Character pairing: Stanley Richmond x OC
A/N: I literally had a dream about this story. This is how it all came to be. So please read and review. I would really appreciate it.
Title: Lost Hopes
Chapter 1 Remember
It was subtle, simple, because that is what Stanley is. I don't mind, I love simple, and maybe that's why I fell for him. I remember it clearly. The ring, the engagement ring is small and elegant, something I wouldn't expect from Stanley but maybe Bonnie picked it out. I can still feel his warm hand holding mine, the diamond glinting in the sunlight. I remember feeling his lips against mine, moving in sync and his hands gripping my waist. I miss him, I miss him so much. I was on my way back from Denver when the bombs went off. My family…my family is gone. They were in Denver. I have no one now, no one but Stanley…and Bonnie. Jericho is my home now; I just need to find a way back. I've been traveling with Emily's husband Roger and a band of refugees. It's been difficult and I don't know how much longer I can keep going. Its cold, we're hungry…
"Jericho is just up here," Roger says with a lot less oomph as before, when he convinced the group to head for Jericho. I was with him all the way anything to get back. Now as we walk, I can imagine Stanley's warmth. I just want to be home with someone familiar.
Yes, I can remember it clearly. Stanley had lured me into the barn at midnight, something about shooting stars and whiskey. I was giggling and he was holding my hand. Then that's when he said it.
"Remember that night, you said that you would spend your whole life with me if you could?" he said smiling, his thumb tracing circles on my hand. I looked at him and nodded my head.
"Yeah," I said giggling. Then he became serious, something quite rare for Stanley.
"Well, since you said that. I was just um…wondering if you wanted to marry me?" he asked quite subtle. I smiled wide and then nodded my head.
"Yes! Yes!" and then I threw myself at him. He held me as we fell back onto the ground.
We hadn't told anyone, no one at all when I left. I told him to wait until I got back. I went to go tell my parents you see. My father knew but I wanted to tell my mom on my own and my brother…
Of course it all seems pointless now…
As we walk towards the town hall I can hear voices all around us but I'm barely here. I'm cold, so cold.
"Samantha, Samantha! Is that you?" someone is yelling my name but I can't put a name to the face and that's when I fall to my knees. "Samantha…"
"Stanley," I say before everything goes dark.

A/N: Yeah, its short I know but yeah…Review please if you like it, if you don't then please move on. I don't want any hate.
