A/N-Here is the new chapter. Things are about to get interesting between Jack and Sam. Wonder what it is?
1 month has passed and the adoption was finalized. Brooke's lawyers managed to make the process a little faster but mostly it was Victoria's influence that made it faster. Sam started calling Brooke mom the moment that it was final. Sam was happy and Brooke was happy and everyone was happy for them.
Lucas, Peyton, and Sawyer were flying back from New Zealand because they were excited about Brooke's news so they wanted to see the new family.
Julian's movie finished filming so now he was staying in Tree Hill until another job comes up. Julian, Sam and Brooke have been getting closer. Brooke told Julian about Sam's tattoo and night of almost losing sex a few weeks ago and Julian has been very protective ever since. Sam wasn't too happy about that.
Sam hasn't been driving much but Brooke needed to lay down the rules of Sam driving so that's what they were talking about when Sam woke up.
"Driving is a privilege" Brooke says.
"Mom, I know" Sam replies.
"I just want you to know that if you get in trouble for any reason that I can take your license away on my own discretion"
"I know" Sam says annoyed.
"Sam, you know that I have to do the mom thing"
"Of course you do…so when is the entire Scott family coming?" Sam asks happily.
Brooke looks at her and shakes her head with a smile.
"In an hour or so but my mom should be here any minute"
As if on cue the doorbell rings and in walks Victoria.
"How is my family?" Victoria says with a grin.
Brooke and Sam look at each other and raise an eyebrow. Sam shrugs.
"Fine" Brooke replies.
"Mom, where is Julian?" Sam asks.
"He is doing something for me" Brooke states.
"I'm so bored" Sam says.
Brooke and Victoria just laugh at her.
An hour later everyone arrived. First it was Nathan, Haley and Jamie and then shortly after Lucas, Peyton and Sawyer arrived. Brooke was ecstatic. She got to see her best friends again. After a lot of screaming and crying things settled down and everyone's doing their own thing.
Sam and Jamie, Nathan and Lucas are playing NBA live with Julian watching them. Haley, Peyton and Brooke along with Victoria are in the kitchen talking.
"I have to say I really missed you guys" Peyton says while watching Sawyer in her swing.
"We missed you too P. Scott" Brooke proclaims.
"So, Brooke how does it feel to be a mom?" Peyton asks with a smile.
Brooke looks over at Sam and gets a huge smile on her face.
"It's perfect"
Brooke's answer caused everyone to smile.
"Jamie, pass me the ball, we totally have to beat Lucas and your dad" Sam says while pressing buttons on her remote control.
"No way Sam you aren't beating us. Basketball stars here remember" Lucas says with a smile.
"Oh yeah, well maybe on a real court but in a game your on my court and nobody wins on my court" Sam replies with a smirk.
"I beat you once" Julian says.
"You cheated and told mom I was on it for too long and when she yelled at me you stole my controller and shot the ball"
Jamie laughed.
"My momma gets mad too" Jamie replies while he presses the button that passes the ball to Sam.
"It's up and…it's in" Sam proclaims.
Sam and Jamie cheered while Lucas and Nathan groaned. Julian shut the game off.
"Did you win the game again babe?" Brooke asks her daughter from the kitchen.
"Yes…yes I did" Sam says with a smile as her cell phone goes off.
Sam digs in her pocket and pulls the phone out.
"Excuse me" Sam says while retreating to her room.
"Who was that?" Peyton asks.
"Jack" Brooke replies.
"She shouldn't be talking to him" Julian replies with a hint of anger in his voice.
"Julian, stop being so protective, nothing is going to happen" Brooke says.
Julian just grumbles and Peyton whispers in Brooke's ear…
"He is such a protective dad"
Brooke whispers back…
"I know"
Sam is lying on her bed talking to her boyfriend.
"Jack I don't know if you can come this weekend"
"But Sam I thought we were going to finish what we started"
"Jack, I love you and you know that but having my mom and Julian around it is going to be kind of hard"
"Is this about the promise you made her?"
"No, babe it's not like that. I want to I really really want to but I also don't want to get caught you know"
"Yeah, I know…the thrill"
"I better go. I love you Jack and I promise we will figure this out"
"I love you too Sam. Call me if you change your mind"
"I will"
After the phone call with her boyfriend she made her way out to join the rest of the fun.
Eventually they all had to go and it turned out that Peyton, Lucas and Sawyer were going to stay in Tree Hill for a few months because they still had unfinished business that they never took care of when they left. Brooke was happy about that.
Nathan, Haley and Jamie left shortly after.
Julian had to meet a friend at TRIC so he left shortly after.
Victoria and Brooke were currently talking about the business.
"Brooke, I wanted to wait to tell you this but we have a problem"
"Well what is it?" Brooke asks.
"The board needs to see you about your designs" Victoria says.
"Can't you handle that?" Brooke asks.
"I tried but the board won't budge and I even brought Sam into it but they don't care"
"Mom, I can't go to New York right now" Brooke states.
Sam who was listening from the living room buds into the conversation.
"Sure you can" Sam states simply.
"No I can't" Brooke says.
"Why not?"
"Because I am not leaving you here alone"
"Don't you trust me?" Sam asks.
"It's not that I don't trust you…it's that I don't want to leave you" Brooke says honestly.
Victoria smiled at the interaction between her daughter and Sam.
Sam stepped closer to Brooke and looked at her.
"I know that you need to go to New York. I also know that long ago the business was important to you but since you met me you have put it on the backburner. Mom, go to New York…I will be fine. You can even call me as much as you want besides if I need anything I have the Scott's and Julian if I need anything" Sam says with a smile.
"Mom, how long would I have to be in New York exactly?" Brooke asks.
"A few days at the most"
"I have to talk to Julian first but we will see"
"That's great" Sam states with a smile.
Sam walks into her room and pulls out her phone and calls Jack.
"Hey Jack, change of plans"
A/N-Sam is going to be getting into some things in the next few chapters.
