A/N1 Actually, I'm not sure, if Sam has some siblings in TV series, but it's called fanFICTION for a reason.

A/N2 I also realized, Jules would probably know Sam's relative, but....see A/N1

Jules started be nervous shortly after one. God, it is starting to be one really annoying habit, she thought to herself. It's just lunch with Sam, Sam – her friend and coworker, so what's the big deal?? The fact is, they weren't eating together for some time now, but it was just because of the breakup. She still believed the two of them could be just great friends again. Well, friends.....and once again she lost herself in memory of tonight's kiss.

Just to be sure she in the last five minutes twice recheck her reflection in the mirror and when she heard knock on the door she checked it once more....just in case.

She opened the door with smile.

"Hi, Sam"

"Hello Jules, did you sleep well?"

"Well enough" She was just glad he didn't ask about dreams that kept her awake most of the night searching for possible solutions including them being and working together.

Theirs awkward conversation was interrupted by someone from behind Sam.

"Jules, I want you to meet my sister, Joyce" Sam tried to save the situation, but the petite blonde was already standing in front of him and pulling her arm to Jules. She wasn't even Jules'es height but she moved in very self confident way despite the fact she was slightly limping. She looked at Jules friendly and her smile was very similar to her brother's.

"Actually, it's Joycelyn, but everyone, except my lovely brother, call my Joy"

"Nice meeting you, ehm, Joy" she returned pleasantry when they shook their hands "Are you coming in??"

"No, actually..." but he didn't have chance to finish, the car horn went out and they could hear Spike's voice "Hey, leave the small talk for later, you have hungry guy in here"

"Spike??" Jules wondered and gave Sam confused look.

"Don't look at me" he defended himself, but Joy already shouted back at him

"Hey bomb-guy, sit tight, we're coming"

Jules looked even more confused "Bomb-guy??" but Sam had given up earlier this day already

"It's still nothing, wait for it"

"OK, bomb-girl, but you're gonna owe me big time." Jules wisely chose out not to comment. There's gonna be plenty time for questions later, now she was hungry too.

Jules sat in passenger seat next to Sam, who was driving. Joy and Spike sat in the back seat and were clearly enjoying each others company. Jules caught Sam's slightly disapproving look, so she decided to start conversation with Joy.

"So, Joy, how long are you staying here?"

"I can't tell exactly, but definitely for some time. For now, I'm staying with my brother, but I'm looking for my own place"

"I told you, you can stay as long as you want to with me" Sam offered "As long as you are not planning on play with any of Spike's toys in there" Jules chuckled, but it was nothing compared to Joy's answer

"Oooh, It 's really went out quite dirty, don't you think..." there she shortly paused, taking breath for great finale "....Samwise" she addressed her brother.

Jules had tears in her eyes, but tried very hard not to burst it laugh. All her efforts were in vain when she caught Spike's glare in the mirror.

"Go ahead, laugh" Sam started to wonder if this whole meeting was such a good idea.

"Sorry..." Jules tried to compose herself, but just couldn't resist "....Samwise"

Spike and Joy just exploded with laugh and even Sam chuckled a little bit.

"And you are wondering, why I'm not calling you Joy" he turned to his sister.

"Actually, why aren't you?" Jules already composed herself enough to maintain somewhat adult conversation.

"She is my younger, always perfect baby sister, always making parents proud and bringing them joy, no way I could call her Joy, when we were teenagers. For me, she was anything but. And in fact, I just got used to Joyce. She then started to call me Samwise to get back at me"

"I didn't know you liked Tolkien" asked Spike.

"Because I don't, It's all little miss perfect's idea"

Sorry, it's short this time, I just lack some inspiration, but don't worry, I'm working on it:)
