A/N-I'm back again…I apologize for the long wait. This chapter would have come out sooner but school started up and I got side tracked. Anyway, I hope people are still into this story…Enjoy!!!
The store was deathly silent as mother and daughter were facing each other for the first time in 15 years. Peyton stood off to the side and saw the looks in Brooke and Sam's eyes. Brooke looked happy and hopeful whereas Sam's looked sad.
"Hey Sam are you okay here?" Peyton asks.
Sam broke away from looking at Brooke and smiled at Peyton.
"Yeah…and thanks" Sam says.
"No problem…bye Brooke" Peyton states.
"Bye" Brooke responds as she watches Peyton walk out of the store.
Sam looked around the store and admired the clothes.
"This is pretty cool" Sam says without looking at her mother.
"Thanks" Brooke says hesitantly.
Sam takes a deep breath and glances towards the door.
"I think I am going to go" Sam says as she makes her way to the door.
"Sam, wait please" Brooke pleads with the younger girl.
Sam turns to her.
"Look…I don't know why I came here maybe just to prove that what you did didn't have an affect my anymore but I was wrong…I shouldn't have come here plus dad is going to be really pissed."
Brooke takes a step closer to her daughter.
"I'm not going to say sorry because I know it won't help but I know I don't have a right to ask anything but I want to get to know you and I know it's long overdue but please just give me this choice Sam."
"I guess but dad doesn't find out or I'm screwed…once a week that's all you get pick the day tell Peyton and I'll be here but that's all you get" Sam says with an eyebrow raised.
"Okay, I can take that" Brooke says with a smile.
Sam walks to the door and suddenly turns around and faces Brooke.
"When I was 5 on my birthday I got a gift…the purple monkey…did you send that to me?"
Brooke looks at her and nods her head.
"Yes, I did"
Sam nods her head in agreement.
"I love that purple monkey" Sam says before walking out the store leaving Brooke with a smile.
Later that evening Brooke couldn't stop smiling. She saw her daughter today and actually gets a chance to get to know her but she is still a little scared.
Brooke is in the kitchen putting away her left over dinner when Haley and Jamie walk through the door.
"Hey Brooke" Haley greets.
"Sup" Jamie states as he sits down on the couch.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Brooke asks as she closes the fridge.
"I got a new student in my English class and her last name is Baker" Haley says to Brooke giving her a questioningly look.
"Oh, really?" Brooke says with a smile.
"So, I was right that is your daughter" Haley says with a smile.
"Dude, Samantha Baker is you daughter…she's totally hot" Jamie says with a smile.
Haley and Brooke start laughing causing Jamie to blush crimson.
"I'm going to stay quiet now" Jamie says as he turns to the TV.
Brooke turns to Haley and smiles.
"Yes, it is and I met her a few hours ago plus that's Peyton goddaughter."
"What are the odds of that happening?" Haley asks.
"I don't know but I'm glad it did because if things were different I would of asked her" Brooke replies honestly.
"So, do you know the history between them or are you going to find out?"
"No, I don't know the history but I will figure that out when I meet with Sam" Brooke says with a smile.
Jamie walks into the kitchen and sits down on a stool looking at Brooke.
"So, do you know where Sam lives?" Jamie asks with a hopeful smile.
Brooke raised her eyebrow at Jamie and then looked at Haley.
"Hales, I think your son has a crush on my daughter" Brooke says with a chuckle.
"I do not have a crush. I just talked to her and she's pretty cool."
"Jamie, you have a crush on Samantha Baker, just admit it" Haley says with a smile.
"I'm not admitting anything" Jamie says as he makes his way back to the couch and sits down.
Haley and Brooke look at him and laugh.
Julian walks into the apartment and sees his daughter cooking dinner.
"Hey, sweetie…how was your first day?" Julian asks as he walks further into the kitchen.
"Um…pretty good, also uneventful" Sam lies while stirring the sauce.
"How was work?" Sam asks her father.
"Well Lucas and I are in the middle of trying to figure out a costume designer for the movie…we haven't made a decision."
Sam turns the sauce down and looks at her father.
"Can I make a suggestion without getting yelled at?"
"I guess."
"How about Brooke Davis?"
"No. Absolutely not." Julian says looking into his daughter's eyes.
"Dad, can you please just hear me out?" Sam suggests.
"Fine, go ahead."
"Maybe it's time to give her a chance…now I'm not saying to just forgive her because honestly I can't do that but I know at some point that I will and when I do there is nothing you can do about it…Dad she is my mother and no matter what anybody says I have a connection to her. She is my mother, she gave me life and for that I am thankful but maybe this can give you an opportunity to get to know the girl who you once claimed to love. The girl you still love." Sam says honestly.
Julian sighs and looks at his daughter.
"I just don't want you to get hurt…I don't want to get hurt."
Sam smiles at her father.
"News flash daddy, you can't protect me forever."
"Well that sucks." Julian says with a laugh.
