Pleasing Sami
Kate was at Brian's, when Sawyer arrived dropping off Sami. When they went to knock on the door, Kate answered. She was surprised to see Sawyer, as he was to see her, especially answering her ex husband's door.
"Sawyer." Kate said.
"Hey Freckles." He walked in the house, holding Sami's hand.
"Hey Sami." Kate said, hugging her daughter.
Sami was thrilled to see her, and then Brian walked out, just as happy.
"Sam!" He pretended to yell.
"Daddy!" Sami ran over to his arms. Kate saw Sawyer flinch as his daughter called someone else daddy.
"I'll be right back." Kate told Brian. She grabbed Sawyer's arm as she walked past him, and pulled him out on the porch, closing the door.
"She's just confused, its gonna take some time." Kate said.
"Freckle's you don't have to say anything, I know she don't like me." Sawyer told Kate.
"Sawyer that isn't true, you know it."
"Well the closer you get to your ex-hubby in there, the closer she gets to having her old family back." Sawyer said fiercely, and he walked away.
"Sawyer!" Kate called after him.
He just ignored her, and walked on.
She sighed heavily, and walked in the house.
Brian was in the kitchen when she walked in.
"Hey baby, what was all that about?" Brian asked, walking over and putting his arms around her.
"Nothing, Sami just doesn't like Sawyer much." Kate told him.
"I can't really blame her." He said.
"Excuse me?"
"Kate, he's an ass." Brian said, as if it was common sense.
"He's her father." Kate argued.
"He doesn't seem too good at it." Brian said.
"He's trying Brian." Kate said, walking out of the kitchen.
"Kate, he doesn't give a damn." Brian told her.
"You don't even know him, you don't know what he does for her!" Kate yelled, turning around to face him.
"Then why doesn't she like him?" Brian asked.
"She's three year's old, she doesn't know what the hell is going on!" Kate screamed.
"I don't need this, I don't need you!" Brian yelled at her.
"Good, then you don't need Sami either, because since you aren't her father, you have no legal right to see her!" Kate said, walking into Sami's room.
Brian grabbed her arm.
"I'm sorry, I just, I get jealous, I mean he took you away from me, and now he's taking Sami." Brian said.
"You know what Brian? I'm happy, okay, I'm actually happy, after what I've been through in the past couple of months, don't screw it up for me, don't get pissed off and do something stupid." She said.
"I won't Kate, I promise you, I won't." He pulled her into a hug, and kissed her.
Kate pulled away.
"Brian, I don't think this is gonna work." She said very calm.
"Excuse me?" He questioned.
"You only want me so Sawyer can't have me, and so you can still see Sami." Kate said, keeping her tone.
"Why would you think that?" he asked.
"Because, you just flipped out, then apologized because I said you can't see Sami, and I was gonna leave."
"Damnit Kate!" He screamed, throwing the phone at her head, just missing. "I miss you, I miss Sami, and you just wonna leave again?" He again screamed. "I have all the money in the world, I'll get you everything you want!" He said.
Kate went in the living room, and got Sam. She turned back to Brian, "Money can't buy my love, or Sami's." She walked out of his house.
