A/N- Hey guys thanks for the awesome reviews. Please keep them coming. This chapter is in Normal POV. The flashback in this chapter is from episode 10 of Season 6

Enjoy!!!!


Sam was lying in bed staring at the ceiling thinking about the previous night's events. The smell from the kitchen brought Sam back from here thoughts. Sam goes to the kitchen because she is hungry.

Brooke sees here.

"Hey there"

"Hi, Chocolate chip pancakes, my favorite"

"I know it's your favorite that is why I made them"

"Well thank-you"

Brooke and Sam were eating breakfast when Victoria barges through the front door.

"Brooke, you were supposed to meet me"

Victoria didn't see Sam until now.

"Samantha you're here"

Sam rolled her eyes and responded.

"Yep I am here"

"Brooke, can I talk to you?" Victoria said.

"We are eating" Brooke responds.

"Sam, is it okay if I speak with Brooke alone?"

Sam looks at Brooke for confirmation. Brooke nods.

"Fine, I have a paper to write anyway" Replies Sam.

"Plate in the sink" Brooke says with a motherly tone.

"Yeah, I know the rules" Says Sam a little annoyed.


Sam put her plate in the sink and walked into the bedroom. She got out a pen and paper and tried to write her paper. The topic was to choose someone that you look up to and why you do look up to them. To Sam only one person came to mind. She wrote it on her piece of paper.

My Mom


Brooke and Victoria are in the kitchen. Brooke is getting annoyed by the constant staring.

"What do you want Victoria?"

Victoria responds. "We were suppose to meet at COB so we could talk about the new line"

"Well, as you can see, I have been a little bit busy" Brooke says with a twinkle in her eye.

"About that" Victoria says but Brooke interrupts her.

"It is none of your business, I am glad she is back and so is she, so stay out of it"

"Well I'm glad she is back too but do you know why?" Victoria is waiting for an answer.

"She wanted to come back home, she said she shouldn't have left in the first place. She missed being home"

Victoria seemed to have a hint of glee in her eyes but quickly removed it.

"Are you going to adopt her still?"

"That's my plan, why?"

Victoria seemed concerned.

"Like I said before, I don't want you to get hurt"


Sam is sitting in her room staring at the blank page in front of trying to figure out what to write. She is so upset that she starts talking to herself.

"What do I write? Sam, come on think"

"I swear I lost my muse or something because I haven't written anything since all the drama happened"

In the background, Sam can hear Victoria and Brooke yelling.

"God, don't they know that I can hear them. They are obviously talking about me. I am so glad Brooke is defending me, it's kind of nice"

"Alright that's it"

Sam gets off her bed and puts her CD in and turns up the stereo so she can feel inspired.


Brooke and Victoria are still going at it. Victoria is annoyed by the loud music but it makes Brooke happy.

"Sam is so rude, that music is up way too loud. She better turn it down"

"First of all Victoria stop trying to play mother, it doesn't suit you and Second, leave her alone she is in writing mode"

"What the hell is writing mode?"

Brooke couldn't help but smile. I guess this is one thing Victoria doesn't know about Samantha.

"Every time she feels stuck in her writing, she will listen to this exact CD and play it all the way through and by the time the CD is done, Sam would be finished with whatever she was trying to write, so like I said leave her alone"

"Fine, well I guess you aren't coming to work today I presume"

Brooke says "You would be right and now you can go"

Victoria walks out of the house and Brooke cleans up the kitchen while listening to the song that made her smile and think of Sam. It was the song Secret Crowds performed by Angels and Airwaves. That was the song that was playing when Brooke told Sam she never had to worry. Brooke could remember that night like it yesterday.


-Flashback-

Sam is talking to Mia when Brooke comes over.

Brooke: "Hey can I borrow you for a second?"

Sam: "Yeah"

Sam and Brooke walk away from Mia.

Brooke: "Look I want to talk to you about the message from this morning about the baby"

Sam: "It's none of my business"

Brooke: "It is absolutely your business Sam"

Sam: "Look I get it okay. Everyone wants the puppy and not the mutt. It's happened before, I know what happens next, you get the baby and I go back to the pound"

Brooke: "You are NOT going back to the pound. I don't ever want you to feel threatened or afraid that I am going to ask you to leave. My home is your home now Sam and it's gonna be that way as long as you want it to be okay?"

Sam: "Okay, K"

-End of Flashback-


Brooke is still smiling. Sam comes out of the room because the CD has ended. Brooke sees her and starts to talk.

"You finished your paper didn't you?"

"Yes I did, how'd you know?"

Brooke just kinks her eyebrow.

"Right, you know my writing mode"

"I do. Can I see your paper"

"No" Sam responds rather quickly.

"Well, why not? I got to see your Homeless in High School paper"

"That was different"

"Really, how so is it about me?"

Sam avoids the look Brooke is giving her.

"It is so about me. Now I have to read it"

"You can't it's not finished"

"You are so lying right now and you know what I do with liars"

"Oh god more rules" Sam complains.

Brooke goes under the sink and grabs a water gun that Jamie had stashed there from a few nights before. Sam looks at her and tries to talk her out of what she is going to do.

"Brooke I swear you better not"

Before Sam could finish Brooke shot at her. Sam spit the water out of her mouth and wiped the water off of her face. Brooke starts laughing.

"Whoops my finger slipped"

Sam couldn't help but smile and say "Run."

After their little water gun fight, both girls were drenched. Sam and Brooke had decided to change into pajamas and spend the rest of the day and night on the couch in the same position as the other night watching movies and eating popcorn. Sam getting mother, daughter spending time she desperately wanted and Brooke getting the mother, daughter spending time she desperately needed. Brooke and Sam, the way it should be. At least for now.
