A/N: I'm not exactly happy with how this came out, but I needed to move on.


Sam did his best not to think on his way home. He just focused on pedaling and enjoying the fresh air. He focused on enjoying the positive results of the incident: Maya Fraser and her baby were ok. And Justin didn't do something he'd regret for the rest of his life.

Entering his apartment, Sam tossed his keys down on the side table and piled everything else on the armchair. He sighed as he let go of the rigid control of his thoughts. So, it was done. Jules was back. There could be no other explanation of the relieved smile on her face as she hugged Greg. And Sam was happy for her; he really was.

But this was going to complicate his life. For all the good his vacation did for him, he still hadn't gotten over Jules. Sam knew he never would. Still, he'd do his best to focus on her happiness. He'd just have to be happy that she was happy.

Sam was also glad this incident had resolved any questions about Donna's ability to do what needed to be done. She'd taken that shot and saved the hostage's life along with the life of her unborn child. They all knew the gang leader wasn't going to give up. And Sam hadn't ever felt any more helpless, looking for and not finding a solution. He'd been so relieved to hear Ed's voice relaying the woman's safety. Sam wished Donna well on Team Three. He harbored no hard feelings, but he was glad to have his team – his family, whole again, no matter how much it complicated his life.


A/N: Let me know what you think. :)
