Chapter 1

"So, Sammy McSpammy, what brings you into our territory?" Addison asked as she sat on the lounge chair enjoying her lunch break with Naomi waiting for the handsome young man behind the register to come and show his shirtless self over to them. Samantha being a visitor and staying at the clinic for a few was welcome to join their tradition. God knows the woman needed some cheering up. Making her leave the wonderful city of New York for the ever so sunny California, Samantha had to be in some kind of rut.

"Oh you know, the usual."

"Can I guess?" Naomi asked her glancing at Samantha from the corner of her eye as her head was turned watching the door waiting. She knew she shouldn't be doing it due to the fact that; a: that guy was into her, b: that guy could very possibly pass up to be her daughter's age!

"Is it... Mr. Oinky-Bologna?"

Sam chuckled as she shook her head. "Oinky-Bologna" was what they had dubbed Jack to be. Ever since Addison had seen him gulping down his meal like he was some old pig that hasn't eaten in all his life, she had called him that. Eventually, the two had caught up to it and from then on, when it was just the three of them, that would be what they called Jack.

"No! Don't be ridiculous, Addy," Naomi said her eyes still trained at the door. " She's not stupid enough to go back there twice when she had gone and scored Marty aka Mr. Right!"

"Ah yes, mysterious Martin Patrick Fitzgerald, how is he?"

"He's... I haven't talked to him in God knows how long," Sam admitted with a shrug. "So, Nay, aren't you gonna take a wild guess on why I'm here visit you two?"

"Oh! Oh! Here he is! Shhh!" Naomi said in reply as she slapped Sam's arm wanting her to focus on that one hot young thing walking to the reception desk. Addison – who was still getting used to it all – had to try and keep her mouth closed. If she was twenty years younger, she certainly would not think twice about talking up that guy whether Derek was around or not. Truth be told, Dell reminded her of the how Mark would've looked when he was younger. Buff and someone who was a woman magnet. He was definitely a Mark.

"Hey Naomi," Dell greeted. "Hi Addison and uhm..."

"Dell, this is our friend Samantha. She'll be here for a while," Naomi said as she snapped out of her thoughts that were things she had thought not to think about ever again. She knew it wasn't a real promise, she couldn't help what she was thinking and what the boy was triggering in her mind!

"Oh, hello Dr..."

"Special Agent," Sam replied shaking her head with a smile looking over at the two with an approving smile. "Samantha F—Spade."

"Well it's nice meeting you Agent Spade. I have to go now though."

"Nice meeting you too," Samantha nodded with a smile waiting for Dell to leave the three out in the lobby once again releasing a breathe along with her two friends. "He's young, but I dare say he's one piece of ass I would like to tap."

"Ah! And Miss Samantha Spade learns the Californians' lingo!"

"Hey! I'm a fast learner!"

"I'd say!"

"Stop making fun of the pregnant woman you two!" Sam came in smiling at Samantha. "Well hey there Sam, how are you doing?"

"Don't call me Sam, Sam," she replied with a small smile. "We're alright. Your wife and her best friend are giving me a hard time though."

Sam was about to open his mouth to say something along the lines of "that's my ex-wife" but Samantha's phone rang showing up a caller ID that was from New York. It was a number she wasn't familiar with though. "Spade."

"It's Jamie,"

"Jamie..."

"Marty's cousin."

"Oh! Hey! I'm sorry I didn't know who it was, it's been a long time!" Sam admitted. Addison, Naomi and Sam had gathered around her waiting for her to tell them exactly who this Jamie person was. Jamie Toland, she mouthed to them covering the mouth piece of her phone. They all just nodded their heads and pretended to be talking about something other than Samantha's surprise visit... or the fact that she had come bringing 'gifts'.

"It really has. I was – we were just wondering if you wanted to come by three weeks time to uhn..."

"Celebrate Ava's birthday?"

"Yeah, she's been asking for you for a long time now. Auntie Sammy."

"Ahh, I um.. I'd love to go Jamie, but..."

"You'd feel awkward with Marty being here?"

"No, it's not that at all!" Samantha defended when in some honesty it was the truth. She wasn't really ready to face Martin yet. "It's just... I'm away, like... on vacation right now."

"Oh! I'm so sorry, I didn't... Marty didn't..."

"Martin doesn't know. Anyways, Jamie. I have to go, I'll try to make it to Ava's party," Samantha promised seeing a man – whom she's never seen before walk to Addison and wink at her. She needed to know who this man was! He wasn't half bad either! Go Addy!

"Of course. It was nice talking to you Samantha."

"Same to you Jamie," Samantha said hanging up and turning to Addison. "Tell me, Addy, who was that guy over there?"

"That was..."

"Addy's boyfriend!" Naomi updated Samantha as if they were back in junior high school squeals and giggles. Addison groaned at that muttering some inaudible things to them as they nudged her and teased her. This was seriously back to the good old days when they would tease her about Derek's hair.

"Awww! I'm so out of the loop with you two! I need to catch up!"

"Don't worry, girl. We'll catch you up!" Naomi said standing up and putting her hands out for both Addison and Samantha to take to get "help" getting up. A smile on all three of their faces, they walked out of the building to enjoy the next ten minutes of their lunch break at the cafe nearby. It was great to have the three of them united. That was a fact.
