Sam rode into the ranch yard. She began to put Ace away when Quinn took the reins from her and motioned that he would do it. Sam gave him a smile and ran to her room to begin getting ready. She was grateful that she didn't have to be formal tonight but she did have to look nice. She tugged on a white long sleeve dress and some white sandals. She put some product in her hair that she had bought in San Francisco. She had learned to take pride in her appearance after the day she walked into class in her pajamas and everyone had given her a funny look.
"Hey are you ready? Everyone is asking for you." called a voice from her bedroom doorway. Sam glanced over and saw Bryanna holding a four year Cody's hand. Sam looked at Bryanna and then at Cody who smiled at her. She smiled back at her brother and motioned him over to her side. He let go of their mothers hand and went over to Sam. Sam squatted as properly as she could and looked her baby brother in the eyes. He spoke:
"Sammy, why do you look so pretty?" Cody asked shyly.
Sam heard a small chuckle escape from Bryanna making Sam giggle a bit. Her baby brother had grown a long way in the last four years. He had the confidence of their father and the understanding of their father. She took her brother into her arms and gave him a hug. She pulled back and told him:
"Because Cody, something's going down tonight. And I was required to wear this."
Cody looked confused. He looked at his mother and she smiled at her children. Bryanna motioned for Sam guys to stand. She walked over to her children and hug them both. Sam looked into Bryanna's eyes and with that small glance, Sam knew that Bryanna knew what that thing was. Sam narrowed her eyes at Bryanna but she just looked down at her son.
"Cody lets leave your sister to finish getting ready. I'm not quite sure she's ready for the arrival of her best friend."
And with that Bryanna left with her four year old son leaving behind her twenty year old stepdaughter..
When Sam finally built up the courage to walk outside, the party was already bursting with life. She tried to causally walk to the back where her dad was standing with Bryanna but she never made it because Jen screamed her name to be heard over the crowd. She gave a friendly wave and tried to escape but her best friend had other ideas.
Jen stumbled over to where Sam stood next to the porch. Sam giggled at the sight of her best friend walking toward her in high heels. Sam was wondering how the poor girl didn't twist her ankle yet.
When Jen finally reached her she was panting from having to wiggle through so much bodies. Sam saw some college students that she din't recognize and she assumed that Jake had brought home some friends for the summer. She didn't know where they were gonna stay. Three Ponies Ranch was already bursting with members as it was.
With that thought in her mind she search for the household members. Adam and Brian stood near the campfire with Allie and Callie. Nate and Seth was sitting on a log talking to their parents. Kit was absent, so Sam was pretty sure that he was still in Hawaii helping his friend, Pani. And that left Jake and Quinn to stand together near the food table to Sams left. Quinn caught Sam's eye and motioned her to come over.
With Jen by her side, Sam walked over and took her place next to Quinn. Jen looked at Sam the at the open spot next to Jake and shook her head. She walked to Sams side and planted her feet. Sam smiled and looked up at Quinn. He shook his head causing Sam to sigh.
That caught Jake's attention. He stopped talking to Ms. Allen and looked at Sam. He gave a small smile and gave a choke.
"Well if it ain't Samantha Anne Forster. Is that really you Brat?"Jake joked. Sam flashed him a smile. He walked over to her and scooped her up in huge hug. Sam wrapped her arms around him and buried her face into his chest.
"Excuse me everyone we have an announcement to make." Wyatt yelled to be heard. He wrapped his arm around Bryanna's waist. She buried her head in her hands making Sam grin.
"Bryanna's pregnant again." Wyatt whopped. Every cheered for the Sam's parents. Her dad looked down at Bryanna an she gave him a look causing Sam to laugh. Jake smiled down at Sam and she gave him a small smile. He slid his arm around her shoulders causing Quinn to give Sam a look. You would think that he would cut his brother some slack Sam thought to herself. Jen saw the look and gave Quinn a shove to make a move towards Sam.
Sam watched as Quinn walked over and held his hand out for her . She let go of Jake and allowed herself to be pulled. She glanced up and saw that Quinn was smiling at her . She looked back at Jake and saw that he was eyeing them suspiciously. Sam let Quinn walk her over to where they stood before.
"Everyone. May Sam and I please have your attention." Quinn called out. Sam glanced back at Jake. He gave Quinn and her a hard stare.
Quinn grinned down at Sam causing her to grin back. Sam looked at the faces of every person they knew. Their parents stood discussing something excitedly. Their friends was gathering asking each other questions. Quinn' s brothers looked like they knew was going on, which Sam figured they did cause there was no secrets in that family.
Quinn looked down at Sam. Wrapping his arm around her waist he pulled Sam closer to him.
"It is my greatest pleasure to announce the future Mrs. Quinn Ely. Sam and I are engaged.
And with that said he swooped down and planted a kiss on her lips. When they let go of each other everyone burst into applause. Well everyone but Jake.
