Chapter 1

Samantha Walker. A young teenager who herself was once lost but she found a certain person who changed her life. Well that person found her, sleeping in the back of a car to be precise, and she changed her life, for good, for better and forever. She changed her life in about the space of a year, the best year of Samantha's life all due to one person, Brooke Davis.


"Samantha!" No answer. "Samantha!?" Muffled groans. "For the last time Sam…" Brooke's motherly tone was something Sam was familiar with every morning.

She was a teenager, what did Brooke expect, teenagers loved to sleep; it was just as plain and simple as that.

Brooke was just about to break Sam's door down when she casually opened it nearly sending Brooke flying onto the floor.

"Morning Sam, cheery as ever Sweetheart!" Sam chose to ignore Brooke's sarcastic comment and sat down on the breakfast stool. Brooke calmly as she could walked over to Samantha; she wanted to throttle that kid!

"Sam, seriously, every morning I shout myself hoarse trying to wake you, ever heard of an alarm clock?" Brooke was thrusting a spatula in front of Sam to emphasise her anger. All of a sudden Sam threw her hands up into the air.

"Please no! Not the Spatula, not again" Sam pretended to quiver and cry. Brooke tried to hide her smile.

"Ugh, fine I'll let you off this time" Brooke teased playing along. Little did she know Haley had walked in on this ordeal.

"Oh my god…Haley…How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know that you beat your daughter with a spatula! Honestly I thought you'd have more style, maybe a whisk or something" The three girls couldn't help but laugh.

Haley James Scott. Wife, Mother and teacher. Haley is the one Sam has to thank the most for her new life with Brooke. Haley introduced the two. After much persuasion Brooke took Sam in and it turned out to be the best decision she ever made. Sam had Brook. Brooke had Sam.

Sam grabbed a slice of toast and darted back into her bedroom, she knew Haley would leave without her if she wasn't ready in time.

"How is Miss Davis this beautiful morning?" Haley smiled as she made her way over to Brooke.

"Miss Davis is perfect, apart from having a pain in my ass that goes by the name of Samantha" Brooke raised her voice a little for that end bit.

"I heard that"

Brooke rolled her eyes, ironically Sam was doing the exact same thing on the other side of the door.

Haley lowered her voice "So…have you got them?"

Brooke knew exactly what she was speaking about. Brooke just smiled, nodded and pulled out a booklet of papers that was in t he drawer in front of her. Adoption Papers. Brooke quickly placed them back into the drawer as Sam came out of her bedroom.

"Come on Tutor-Mom, Let's go!" Haley raised an eyebrow. "That's Mrs Scott to you!"

Brooke chuckled as Sam left the house, hopefully by tonight Sam would be calling her 'Mom'. Haley turned around and gave Brooke a wink as if she knew exactly what she was thinking. Brooke knew everything would work out fine… But what if it doesn't she thought…

"Shut up Brooke, stop being paranoid!" She squinted her eyebrows "God I'm even speaking to myself these days, ugh I'm doing it again!" Brooke just laughed at her stupidity.

She couldn't think what her life would be like without Sam. She was everything to her. Brooke couldn't have been any more proud of Sam; she had come so far in a year. And it was all because of her, she had given her a stable environment, love, care and the odd grounding but that was what made Sam who she was today. And there was the support of her two best friends, Peyton Sawyer and Haley James Scott. Brooke has been the happiest she'd been in a long time all down to one teenage girl.

Brooke got ready for work and headed over to Clothes Over Bro's. "This day better go fast" muttered Brooke as she sat down at her desk. All she wanted to do was go home and spend the evening with Sam. Her Daughter.


Haley pulled up outside Tree Hill High School. Sam slouched staring out the window.

"You okay?" Haley asked concerned over the teenager's silence. Sam always had chat on the journeys to school.

"Just thinking" Sam paused "It's the Saints on Saturday"

"Oh yeah, forgot 'bout that. You nervous?"

The Saints. Not the most talented of soccer teams but most definitely the roughest team. Last game Jennifer Fox just about broke Sam's leg, well she fractured it, but Sam was still pissed. She was out for months and its taken hard work for Sam to get back to the player she was. This all happened before Brooke and before Tree Hill. Sam had been playing for North Carolinas best and was on her way to be called up to play for America under 17's. But Jennifer killed this dream for Sam. In a split second it was all over. She had never told Brooke, she knew she'd worry.

Sam lied "No No. Me? Nervous. No reason to be so why should I be just a friendly not like anyone's gona break my leg or anything" this statement was rushed and took Haley aback. "I gotta go, see you in English Lit. Mrs S!" Sam jumped out of the car and jogged into the school grounds. Haley stared at her until she couldn't see her

"Man that kids odd, but you gat to love her!"


Sam walked about in her own little world. IPod on, earplugs' in. 'It's only a friendly' she thought 'Maybe she doesn't even play for them anymore'. The real soccer season started in a few months but Sam was already on a strict pre-season regime. Every week or so her coach would organise a friendly, usually against teams that were from different states. 'After Saturday I won't have to see her again.' There was a small chance that they would meet in the Regional cup but Tree Hill High had never made it to the final so the two teams had never met before. '90 minutes Sam, you can handle that.' Sam sighed and headed to he first class. "This day better go fast" Sam muttered as she sat down. All she wanted to do was go home and spend the evening with Brooke. The thought of brook made Sam smile. She really had made her soft. She never thought she'd find anyone that cared for her as much as Brooke. She loved her like a mom. All she really wanted was for this to be official. Sam lost her thoughts "Samantha Walker?" Mrs Turner called. Sam raised her hand and nodded. But it didn't sound right, not now. What she wanted to hear was 'Samantha Davis'.


"Hey Sam, wait up!" It was Sam's best friend Melissa. Sam turned and gave Mel their signature high-five.

"Hey friend. How's things? You all good for Saturday?"

Melissa nodded and squealed with excitement. "Our first game in months, of course I'm ready. Speaking of the beautiful game, fancy having a kick about tonight? It's this girl's 5-a-side league I've started, nothing serious. What do you say, can't leave a friend hanging?"

"I suppose so, how can I say no to a face like that. But I'll have to check with Brooke first."

"What? Still no Mom?" Melissa knew all about Sam's life at the present moment.

"We'll see. Now come on let's head over there now and see what Brooke has to say". The two girls headed for the school doors and made there way to Clothes over Bro's.


Brooke was working on some new designs when the chimes on the door rang. To her surprise it wasn't Sam but a boy maybe a couple of years older than Sam. This is odd to Brooke she isn't used to having many men in her store let alone boys.

"Hi can I help you?" A puzzled Brooke asked.

"Yes I'm looking for someone, goes by the name Samantha Walker? I sometimes see her coming in here…"

Brooke looked on in shock 'Stocker much' Brooke played dumb "I'm sorry I've never heard that name. Now if you don't mind I'm just about to close so…" Brooke gestured to the door. The boy just nodded and left. "Woah! What the hell" Brooke was worried "Who'd be asking for Sam?"


Five minutes had gone by when the two girls strolled into Brooke's store.

"Hey Brooke" Sam shouted "Where you hiding?" Brooke strutted out from the back of the store with the biggest smile ever. She had decided on not telling Sam about the Boy.

"Hey knucklehead" Brooke embraced Sam. Sam would have pulled away from anyone's hugs but Sam loved a good old squeeze from Brooke.

"What owes me the pleasure?" Brooke genuinely asked. "How are you Melissa, looking good by the way!" Melissa always had great style, Brooke would let Mel borrow some clothes from the store sometimes – free advertising and all- and today she was wearing some of Brookes.

"Yea I know" joked Melissa "There from this great designer. Don't know if you've hear of her" Brooke couldn't help but laugh.

"I was wondering if it would be okay to go out tonight. Melissa asked me to this football kick about. Nothing serious and it just for an hour starting at 8" Sam asked hopefully. "I was just gona go back to Melissa's, have dinner there and go with her if that's okay?

Brooke thought for a good while, adoption papers on her mind. "If you don't mind could you maybe just swing by ours and I'll drop you off there I need to speak to you about something?"

"Yeah sure is that okay Mel?"

"Of course, see you there S. Walker"

"Yeah see you later M. Bradford" Brooke laughed at this.

"Stealing my nick names – P. Sawyer? B. Davis? Sound familiar kid?"

"Well its catchy, you's are saying it all the time these days, it's just kinda rubbed off on me I guess"

Brooke just smiled.


Brooke was sitting on her couch flicking through the channels. She wasn't even taking in what was on; it was just a way of passing time. She was starting to get agitated. 4:55. "Come on Sam, where are you?"

Just then she heard the click of the door handle. Brooke shot up and turned the TV off and went to greet Sam with a hug.

"Hey come on, a kids got to breath a little" But Brooke didn't let go. She felt Sam give in and put her hands around her back.

"Thank you" Brooke heard a small whisper in her ear. Eventually Brooke released Sam from her grasp.

"So…What's got you today? I'm pretty sure you've had that ear-to-ear smile on all day and two hugs in one day with no reason…"

"Do I need a reason to give my daughter a hug now?" Teased Brooke but she noticed that Sam's smile had gone. "Sweetie, what's the matter?" Brooke walked over to her daughter and put her hands on her shoulders.

"Can we talk about something?"

"Yea sure honey but let me get one thing that I think might just put a smile on your face!"

'Not the best time Brooke. Can't we just talk? The only thing that would make me happy is if you were to pull out…' Sam turned in mid thought and saw Brooke standing with…

"…Adoption papers!?"

Brooke smiled. A nervous smile.

Sam sat on the couch in shock.

"Sweetheart are you okay? I mean I can give you a little time to think. I just thought this is what you wanted. To be a Davis, to be my daughter and for me to be your Mom…"

Sam cut her off and flung her arms around Brooke, sobbing her eyes out. Brooke didn't know what to think or do so she just pulled Sam in closer and comforted her. Sam eventually pulled away.

"Pinch me. I have to be dreaming. This is perfect. I thought id never see this day. I thought that Id be in living on the streets all my life. I thought that I was to bad a kid for anyone to love but for some odd reason you seem to love me with all your heart. No matter what I do you are still here. I love you Brooke Penelope Davis." Some flung her arms round Brooke once again but soon realised she still hadn't answered Brookes question. Sam whispered in Brooke's ear "I love you Mom."

That was it, that one word that Brooke had been waiting for. They both had tears rolling down their faces. "I love you too honey" They sat holding each other for another good 10 minutes when eventually Brooke spoke.

"You do know that I will never leave you or stop loving you. I will never let you leave or let anyone take you away. You are the best thing that has happened in my life and I'm so glad I listened to my heart that day I took you in. That's probably the best decision I'm going to make in my life. Always remember that whatever happens. I love you Samantha Davis." Sam smiled at that last bit. That's all she wanted to hear. Davis.

"So this is what it's like to be a Davis. Man that feels good to say"

"Hang on what was it that you were wanting to talk to me about earlier? Sam giggled.

"This! About these!" Sam picked up the adoption papers "I swear to god you are a mind reader. I was just thinking that the only things that would make me happy was if you were to pull out Adoption Papers and I turned around and there you were, holding them! I mean seriously is my Mom some sort of Ninja?!"

"Mom that sounds so good Oh and yes I am a ninja along with your Aunt Peyton. We're pretty damb good ninja's! They both laughed.
