A/N: I'm sorry its been soooo long since I've updated. I hurt my wrist really badly 9 months ago. I actually partially tore a ligament. So after 3 casts and 3 braces I'm able to finally type. I'm totally not out of clear of it and I may need to get reconstructive surgery on it but right now its healed enough for me to type and I'm happy about that. So here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy

Chapter 1

~Flashback~

A twelve-year old Sam was running down the streets of LA. When she reached her destination she ran up the stairs leading to the house.

"Whoa there little lady," a voice said from beside her as an arm came out and grabbed her around the waist, "you may want to slow down before you fall."

"Hi Tony," Sam said to the older man, "I'm looking for Letty. Mama said that she was over here."

Tony let go of Sam and stared down at her, "She is. She stayed here last night. She's probably up in Mia's room."

"Thanks Tony," Sam replied as she stood up on her tippy toes to give him a kiss on the cheek. Tony smiled and leaned down so Sam could reach. She quickly kissed him and before he knew it she was running up the stairs and inside the house.

Sam ran up the stairs and headed into Mia's room. She was about to call her sister's name when she noticed the room was empty and the bed was neatly made. She walked out of the room and headed towards Dom's thinking that he may know where Letty was.

"Dom," Sam said as she opened up the door, "Oh, gross you guys."

Sam covered her eyes and turned around trying to spare herself of the image of her sister having sex with her boyfriend.

"Sam! What are you doing here?" Letty asked as she pushed Dom off of her.

"I'm sorry," she apologized, "I wasn't expecting to walk in on my sixteen-year old sister having sex with her eighteen-year old boyfriend while said boyfriend's dad is here."

"Shit. Dad's here?" Dom questioned as he and Letty started getting dressed.

"Yeah, he's outside working on his car. Is it safe to turn around now?" Sam asked.

"Yeah," Letty answered.

Sam turned around and cautiously took her hand off her eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw her sister and her boyfriend dressed and standing next to Dom's bed.

"You know you still haven't answered my question," Letty said as she crossed her arms over her chest. She was mad that her little sister had ruined her morning with her boyfriend.

"What question?" Sam asked confused.

Letty rolled her eyes, "The question I asked earlier, what are you doing here?"

"Oh!" Sam said as and excited smile covered her face, "I cam over here to tell you that I'm staying here all summer. Mama said it was ok. Of course that was after the fact that mom and my dad had a fight over it. But my dad caved after Mama told him that I need to spend time with my mother and my sister and..."

"Sam!" Dom yelled, cutting off her rambling.

"Sorry," Sam apologized with and embarrassed smile.

Dom shook his head and waved her off telling here there was nothing to be sorry for before he sat down on his bed. He watched as Letty uncrossed her arms and walked closer to her sister.

"Really?" Letty asked and Sam nodded. Letty gave Sam a huge smile and hugged her little sister, "I'm glad. Mama really missed you."

Sam hugged her sister back, "I missed her too. And you too."

Letty pulled back and turned around to face her boyfriend, "So what do you think?"

Dom shrugged then dodged the magazine that Letty threw at him, "Ok, I think it's good."

"Where's Mia?" Sam asked.

"I think she's at the mall. She wanted to go shopping and get some new clothes since summer is here," Letty answered, "Shoot that just made me realize that mom's gonna make us go shopping."

"Why?" Dom and Sam asked confused.

"Mom has to do your room. Which means buying paint, bedding, stuff for your room and that means she'll want to buy you clothes," Letty told them.

"Great. I didn't come down here for shopping I came down here for the beach, my mom, and my sister," Sam said, "I'm gonna go outside with Tony. I'll buy you guys some time so can finish or whatever. I'll tell him your taking a shower or something."

Sam walked out of the room and closed the door behind her. She walked downstairs and headed outside towards Tony.

"Hey Tony," Sam said as she walked over to him.

"Hey," he replied as he looked up at her, "Where's Letty?"

"She was upstairs asleep when I got there so I woke her up, which made her mad at me. I think she's in the shower now," Sam replied as she sat down in the grass and watched Tony work on the car.

"Was Dominic up there too?" Tony asked.

"I think so," Sam answered. She watched Tony for a little bit longer before she heard the front door open and turned around to see Dom and Letty walk out, "Hey guys."

"Hey," Letty said as she came up to her little sister and gave her a kiss on the head as Dom did the same.

~End Flashback~

~General Hospital~

Letty walked off the elevator and took a look around. She couldn't believe that her sister had called her after not hearing form her in almost four years except from the occasional calls here and there telling her that she was alive and ok. She took a deep breath, trying to get herself to calm down and walked towards the nurses station.

"Hi, how can I help you?" a nurse asked with a smile once she reached the desk.

Letty gave her a small smile and replied, "Hi I'm looking for a patient."

"Ok, who is it?" the nurse asked.

"Samantha McCall," Letty answered.

The nurse nodded and turned to the computer but was stopped.

"I've got this Cathy."

Letty looked behind the nurse to see an older doctor with short, blonde hair. The nurse nodded and stepped away so the doctor could leave the station. Letty watched as the doctor walked over to her and stuck out her hand.

"I'm Dr. Monica Quartermaine," the doctor said.

"Letty," she replied and shook the doctor's hand.

"I can take you to Sam's room," Monica told her as she let go of Letty's hand.

"Thank you," Letty said.

"This way," Monica said and started walking toward a hallway. Letty followed and tried to gather her thoughts.

"How is she?" Letty asked.

"She's good. Her vitals are strong and she's healing well," Monica answered.

"Do you know what happened to her?" Letty asked, wanting to know what happened to her sister.

"You don't know?" Monica asked confused.

Letty shook her head, "No one told me what happened."

Monica looked over at the young woman and answered, "She was shot in her lower back."

Letty stopped in the middle of the hallway and tried to catch her breath. She couldn't lose her little sister.

"She's ok. I promise you," Monica said when she saw Letty stop, "Come on, her room is right around this corner."

Letty nodded and continued following the doctor. When they reached Sam's room Letty walked up to the window and stared at her sleeping sister.

"I thought you said Sam was shot in the lower back?" Letty asked, confused to see the white bandage wrapped around her head.

"She was," Monica answered as she walked closer to Letty.

"Then why is there a bandage wrapped around her head?" Letty questioned.

"As you know Sam was shot in the back. We did surgery to get the bullet out and stop the bleeding. After the surgery her blood wasn't clotting like it was suppose to and the blood transfusions weren't working. The only way to save her life was to have brain surgery," Monica explained.

Letty snapped her head towards Monica and asked, "But she's ok?"

"She's fine, I promise you. You can go in and see her if you want but try not to wake her," Monica said.

Letty nodded and walked toward the door. She opened the door but stopped when she heard Monica call her name.

"Yes?" Letty asked turning toward the doctor.

"How do you know Sam?" she asked.

"She's my little sister," Letty answered before she walked into the room, not waiting to see the doctors reaction.

She quietly closed the door behind her and tried to fight the tears. She usually wasn't the one for tears. She can count on one hand on how many times she cried but this time she couldn't stop them. It was hard to see her little sister weak and laying in a hospital bed. She walked over to the bed and kissed Sam on the head and whispered, "I love you."

Monica stood outside the window of Sam's room and watched the two young women. She was shocked to find out about Sam's sister but she really shouldn't be. With what happened she should have known someone from Sam's past would have come. She felt tears prick her eyes as she watched Letty kiss Sam's forehead. You could see the love in the young woman's eyes for her younger sister.

She felt a slender hand touch her arm bring her out of her thoughts.

"Mom are you ok?" she heard her daughter, Emily, ask.

"I'm fine sweetheart," Monica answered still staring into the room.

"Who's that?" Emily questioned, pointing to the young woman sitting in the chair next to Sam's bed, holding Sam's hand.

"Sam's sister," Monica answered.

"Sam's sister? How is she Sam's sister?" Emily asked confused.

"I don't know. You'll have to ask Sam once she wakes up. I mean if she wants to talk. I won't blame her if she won't," Monica said.

"How is she?" Emily asked concerned for her brother's fiance, or former fiance.

"How do you think she is Emily? Jason just broke up with her after she woke up form a coma. I doubt she's fine," Monica said before she turned and walked away leaving her shocked daughter behind.

Letty was just about to doze off when she felt Sam squeeze her hand.

"Sam?" she asked sitting up. She heard her groan and squeeze her hand again.

"Letty?" Sam whispered.

"Yeah it's me," Letty said, standing up from the chair.

"You came," Sam whispered with a small smile and opened her eyes.

"Yeah I did," Letty smiled before he kissed Sam on the forehead, "I'm so happy you're ok."

"I need to sit up," Sam told her sister as Letty pulled away.

"Are you sure?" Letty asked concerned, "You won't hurt yourself?"

"I'm hurting right now. I need to sit up so I don't have so much pressure on my wound," Sam said.

Letty nodded and helped Sam sit up.

"Where's the team?" Sam asked.

"Back in LA," Letty answered as she sat down on the bed next to Sam.

"Dom let you come all the way here by yourself?" Sam asked giving Letty an incredulous look.

Letty gave a small chuckle and shook her head, "No. He's at the hotel right now. He figured it would be better if I came to see you alone. He said he'll come tomorrow."

Sam nodded and was about to ask Letty a question when her door opened and Alexis walked in. Letty stood up from the bed and gave the intruder a glare, mad at her for interrupting time with her sister.

"Who's this?" Letty asked.

Sam looked from Letty to Alexis and back to Letty before she took a deep breath and answered, "My mother."
