Chapter 10

"What do you mean he can't take the kids with him?" Greg asked.

"Who are you?" Joshua asked before the lady could answer.

"I am Elena from the social worker office and I am here to pick up the children." She said and everyone glared at her.

"It has to be a mistake. That is their family there." Wordy said pointing at Sam and Natalie.

"It is not a mistake. The kids have no mother or father and I need to place them with a family member who is stable or next to kin." She said and glared at Sam.

"Sam is next to kin." Joshua said.

"Well it can't be him, especially after I just heard the SIU officer said about him. He is not stable to take the children now and the children safety comes first."

"You can't do that." Leah said.

"They will be better off with family they know. You can't just take them to some strange place." Jules snap.

"Look, I don't want to step on anybody's toes, but let be real here. The main priority here, are the children and if everything I heard is correct, not even you guys know what going on with him. I don't know him and he might be a good person, but right now, he is unpredictable so I have to make sure I do the right thing for the kids." She said and sighed. Even though they didn't want to believe her, she did have a point. Sam is being too calm and quiet right now, and that not even counting on the bruises on his body.

"Maybe we work something out. How about, one of us stays with them until everything settle down?" Greg suggested.

"Sorry but I can't. You guys are not family, which is basically like going to temporary foster care. You guys are strangers just like the foster house they are going to go to. Anyway, we are going to try to contact family first to take care of them and go from there."

"I am family. Those are my nieces and nephew."

"And you are?"

"I am Natalie Braddock."

"Well Natalie, do you have a place to stay?"

"Yes I do. I live with my brother Sam." Natalie said and Elena shakes her head.

"We can't allow that."

"Why not?" Natalie snaps.

"I am not comfortable leaving the kids around him." She said and looked at Sam while everyone glare.

"What do you think he is going to do, hurt them? This is not his fault. Some maniac kills his twin sister and you think it's his fault. They both lost someone, what make Natalie different from Sam. Why are you discriminating and judging? He the best person you will ever meet and he would take care of those kids like his own." Jules snapped ready to punch Elena on the face.

"I heard." She started and Jules cut her off.

"You right, you heard. You don't know anything. If you judging parenting skills and safety base on what you heard without checking facts then you are the worst social worker in this world and I would have you reported. Sam didn't kill his sister, and it is not his fault those kids are orphaned now, but he is the next of kin and you have a right to give the kids to him. Oh I swear to everything I love I would make sure you are ruined for this." Jules stepped up the woman and glared at her.

"Jules, she is just doing her job." Sam said and everyone turn on him.

"Sam."

"Natalie will take the kids. She can stay at Stephanie's house or my apartment. I will go to a hotel. Then when everyone is calm we deal with the kids' legal guardian." Sam said and looked at everyone. Jules' heart swell for the amazing person he is. He is willing to put his emotions aside to make sure everyone else is alright. And if she didn't think she was in love with him, this just would make her fall head over heel in love him all over again.

"It's that alright with you?" Ed snapped at Elena, also feeling sad and proud of Sam.

"Fine. Just need to get your information and be aware that I could show up anytime." She snapped back and walked to the front desk while Natalie followed her.

While Natalie and Elena deal with the paperwork, Sam sat down with the kids. Kristin and Alyssa had fallen asleep on his arms and Joshua was holding Matthew who was also asleep.

"Sam, where are you going to go?" Greg asked not bothering to hide his concern.

"I will be alright." Sam said calmly.

"Stay with us." Wordy said.

"I am good. I will stay with Joshua." Sam said and looked at Joshua. Something passed through their eyes before both man faces went blank. Everyone noticed, but they didn't want to approach the situation just yet.

"Alright see you guys early tomorrow. We would meet you at Joshua place." Greg said leaving no room for discussion. He didn't like the looks those two were giving each other, but he wouldn't push it for now. Sam has been through a lot today and there is a limit at to how much a person can take.

"Can you do me a favor?" Sam asked and looks up, for the first time looking at the team.

"Anything." Ed said.

"Someone stay with Natalie and the kids. I don't want them alone." Sam said and for a minute they saw the hurt on his eyes, before he masked it again.

"I will stay." Leah said.

"Me too." Spike said.

"We take shift." Greg said.

"I will help out too." Donna said and some members of team three also volunteer.

"I will bring Shelby and the girls in the morning, so Natalie and the kids won't feel alone." Wordy said.

"Same here, I will bring Sophie and Clark. I bet Matthew here would love it. He won't be the only guy." Ed said and some of the guys chuckled.

"Thank you." Sam said.

"Hey Jules, what about you?" The rookie from team three asked.

"No reason to ask her when everyone knows she won't leave them no matter what. She would care for them like they were her own." Sam said and stares at Jules. And this time she was sure that Sam is the man she meant to be with and would die for him. Before anyone could comment, Natalie was back.

"How did it go?" Joshua asked.

"I hate her. I told her we stay at Stephanie house in the meantime. I don't want the kids to feel scared or out of place. They need to be in a place they feel safe."

"That is good." Greg said.

"You guys should go. The kids are tired and they should be in bed already. They have been here all day." Sam said and got up with the two girls.

"I don't have a car." Natalie said.

"We drop you guys off." Wordy said.

"Natalie, Leah, Spike, and Jules are going to stay with you." Sam told her.

"Alright." Natalie said and looked at Joshua.

"I am going to make sure everything is alright." Joshua said and looked at Sam and he nodded.

"Ok then. We are going drop Sam at your place and stay with him until you get back." Greg said and dare Sam or Joshua to say anything.

"Sure." Sam said and headed for the door with the team following him.

I know I hate the social worker too. LOL. I have my reasons, and also she has a job to do. Anyway please review and tell me how much you guys hate her too.
