A/N-I know I started a new story already entitled Stolen, but this story isn't my idea it is actually xNOBODYSxHOMEx who just recently started writing so you should check them out anyway. I guess you can call this story a collaboration."Sam, I want to talk to you about something, something important. You're happy here, right?" Brooke asks hesitantly.


Sam looks at Brooke in confusion.

"Yeah, what's going on?"

"I want to adopt you for real. I want to make it official and forever, I have given this a lot of thought. I want us to be a family. I know that it's your dream to have that and I want to give that to you now, so, what do you say?"

"Yeah, yeah," Sam says with a smile.

"Okay," Brooke says while going in for a hug.


That day of Peyton's baby shower changed Brooke and Sam's lives forever. It's been a month since that day and the adoption process is still going on. Rebecca, Sam's birth mother was happy for Sam and she recently left Tree Hill now that she made things right with Sam.

Peyton had her wedding in which Brooke and Sam attended. Sam was left dateless until Brooke called in a favor and got Jack to show up for the day. Sam was excited. They had spent the day talking and Sam had told Jack that she was getting adopted. Jack was thrilled of that idea.

Peyton also had baby Sawyer and she and Lucas left to New Zealand to see his parents. Brooke was sad, but she had Sam so she wasn't lonely.

It was early morning when Sam woke up in a cold sweat. She had been having nightmares for awhile and hasn't told Brooke anything about them. She hadn't had nightmares until the attack from X happened. Being held hostage like that brought up some pretty bad nightmares from Sam's past.


Sam sat up in bed and looked at her clock it had read 4 AM and she knew she couldn't go to sleep, lucky for Sam it was winter break so she didn't have school until the next week.

Sam slowly gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom to throw some water on her face. Once that was done Sam walked out into the living room and turned the TV down really low. Sam lied down on the couch and found her phone on the table so she decided to text Jack.

Bad nightmare, need your encouraging words xoxo Sam

Sam set her phone down and she didn't need to wait long for the reply.

You are strong and brave. There is nothing to be afraid of.

Sam smiles and puts the phone down and turns to watch the TV.


Later that morning Brooke Davis woke from her sleep to the birds chirping outside. It was now 9 AM and Brooke was wide awake. Unlike Sam, she slept wonderfully. Her life was finally falling into place. She has the daughter she always wanted and she got her company back. The only downside was that Julian was still in LA and she didn't know what to do about that.

Brooke walks out of her bedroom and into the kitchen to grab some water, but she stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed that Sam was sleeping on the couch with the TV remote in her hands. This wasn't the first time that Brooke had noticed Sam sleeping on the couch it has happened quite a bit, but she thought nothing of it. Only it was becoming a habit lately.

Brooke walks closer to Sam and gently grabs the remote from her hands and shuts off the TV and sets the remote on the coffee table. Brooke takes the blanket off of the back of the couch and puts it over Sam. She softly kisses her forehead and smiles at Sam's murmuring. Even in her sleep Sam had an attitude.

Brooke walks outside to grab the paper and starts a pot of coffee when she comes inside. After a few minutes her coffee is done and she grabs a cup and sits down on the table. She watches Sam turn around on the couch and she smiles and then takes a drink.


About a half-hour later Victoria waltzes into the house and slams the door causing Sam to fall off of the couch and land with a thud on the floor.

Victoria stops in her tracks and sees Sam on the floor face down.

"Samantha, get up from the floor. What are you doing down there anyway?"

Sam stands up and moves the hair out of her eyes.

"You did grandma," Sam says with a smirk.

Brooke almost spits out her coffee when she sees the look on her mother's face.

"Don't call me grandma, just because you will be my daughter's daughter doesn't mean you can call me grandma."

"Technically that is what you are," Sam says as she walks into the kitchen and pours herself a cup of coffee. Once that was done she sits at the table and Brooke passes her the sugar which Sam greatly appreciates.

"Mother would you tell me why you are in my house right now," Brooke asks with a raised eyebrow.

Victoria sets her purse down on the table and sits down next to Sam.

"I leave tomorrow."

"We know," Sam retorts.

"That still doesn't explain why you are here right now," Brooke says.

"I'm going to miss you two," Victoria mumbles to herself.

Sam smiles and puts her cuffs her hand behind her ear.

"What was that?" Sam asks with a smile causing Brooke to grin.

"I'm going to miss you two. There I said it."

"We'll miss you too," Sam and Brooke say in unison.

Sam gets a text message on her phone so she leaves the table and grabs it. She reads the message and instantly goes ghostly white.

Hey Sammy, you miss me : )

Brooke looks at her daughter in fright.

"Sam, honey, are you okay?"

Sam looks up at her mother and nods her head silently.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just going to go to my room," Sam says while she retreats to her bedroom.

"Well that was rude," Victoria says to Brooke.

Brooke nods her head and looks at Sam's door while concern grows inside of her.
