A/N: I actually managed to get another update. I feel so proud. The song I used I switched Stephen to Steven so it matched with my story…go with it.
Chapter Fourteen: Hey Steven
It had been a few hours since Sam's confession and Brooke hadn't left her room. Sam was starting to get a little worried about it. She didn't think it was a big deal, but not hearing a word from Brooke was leaving her a little bit on edge.
"I think I'm going to go talk to her," Sam says as she stands up from the couch. She and Steven had been watching a movie.
"Yeah, I'll just be here."
Sam takes a breath and hesitantly goes into her mother's room. Brooke was lying on her bed looking up at the ceiling. Sam frowns, closes the door and lies down on the side of the bed that Brooke wasn't on.
"It's not a big deal," Sam says casually.
Brooke huffs, but doesn't say a word.
"I'm not going to apologize either. I mean did you actually think that I was still a virgin. I mean I am fifteen."
"I just hoped that maybe you wouldn't make the same mistakes that I made."
"So, I'm a mistake now?"
Brooke sighs and sits up in bed.
"That's not how I wanted it to mean. Honestly, I was stupid when I was fourteen and I can't change that, but because of my stupidity, I got you and that is one thing I won't apologize for, but Sam, sex is a big deal. You can't just have sex with anybody."
Sam nods her head and sits up.
"I get that, but the thing is that Steven is my boyfriend and honestly we probably shouldn't have had sex the way we did, but I gave him everything I have. And I don't think it was a mistake. We lost it together and it hurt and it took me months to get over the hurtness factor, but I'm covered with birth control or whatnot."
"That's good, but I would rather not have to walk in on my daughter having sex with her boyfriend, or with anybody for that matter."
"I know what you mean, but you also could have knocked as well, then it wouldn't have been so bad."
Brooke shakes her head.
"No, it still would have been bad, but talk to me Sam. Can you do that? Please talk to me."
"I will, but there is nothing to talk about right now. I think you scared the crap out of my boyfriend though."
"Good," Brooke says with a smile. "I'm not going to send him home, if that's what you are thinking. No more boys in your bedroom and no more sex under my roof and that doesn't mean that you can go have sex in public."
Sam makes a face.
"I don't do that."
"Good, let's keep it that way."

A few days later Brooke approached Sam in the kitchen before Sam was heading off with Steven to meet Chase.
"Sam, can I talk to you before you leave?"
"Sure, what's up?"
"What do you think of Julian?"
Sam giggles and looks at her mother.
"I think you should just ask him to move in already. You both are driving me crazy."
Brooke smiles and hugs her daughter tight.
"Thanks beetle."
"No problem grasshopper," Sam says as she pulls away from her mom. "I don't know how long we'll be gone so make sure you ask Julian soon, okay?"
"I gotcha," Brooke responds with a smile. "Have fun with your father?"
"I'll try."
Brooke sighs as she watches her daughter leave the house hand in hand with her boyfriend. Brooke smiles and pulls out her phone.
"Hey Julian, what do you say about having dinner with me?"
-NJS-
"Come in, come in," Mia says with a smile. "I'm Mia and you must be Steven."
Steven smiles and accepts the hug from Mia.
"Yes, that's me."
"He's a cutie Samantha," Mia says causing Steven to blush. "Chase, your daughter and her boyfriend are here!"
Chase comes in from the other room and he hugs Sam before turning his gaze to Steven.
"Do you treat her good?"
"Yes sir."
Chase smiles and nods his head to the side.
"Okay than, I don't really do well with interrogating. I'll leave that one to Brooke. Why don't we just have some dinner and then maybe we can get Sam to perform a number for us or something."
Sam rolls her eyes but smiles nonetheless.
-NJS-
"I love our times together," Julian says as he and Brooke settle in front of the light fire regardless of the warm temperature outside.
"So, do I. I haven't felt this way in a long time Julian. I don't think I've ever felt this way before. With Chase it was different, we were both very young and I think it was puppy love," Julian laughs and Brooke smiles. "But he gave Sam so my level of love for him will always be different. With you Julian, I can barely breathe. I love you so much that I can barely breathe and it's the best feeling in the world."
Julian gives Brooke his famous grin.
"Then it's a good thing that I love you, too. And I love Sam. I haven't spent a whole lot of time with her these days, but she's apart of you. You guys are my family and I wouldn't change it for the world."
"Move in with me?" Brooke asks with a smile.
Julian grins wider.
"I'd thought you'd never ask," Julian says before leaning down to kiss his girlfriend.

Sam sat on the edge of the couch with her guitar in her hand. She never passed on a performance. They saying goes 'practice makes perfect'.
Steven sat directly in front of Sam and Mia and Chase sat on the loveseat in their living room.
"So, I wrote this before I started dating Steven."
Hey Steven, I know looks can be deceiving
But I know I saw a light in you
And as we walked we were talking
I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believing
I don't always have to be alone
Steven grinned happily. He always loved songs with his name in them.
Mia glanced at Chase who was busy listening to his daughter do her thing. Mia knew talent when she saw it. She wondered if Sam was willing to record a record.
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Hey Steven, I've been holding back this feeling
So I got some things to say to you
I've seen it all, so I thought
But I never seen nobody shine the way you do
"I love listening to her," Chase says as he sits closer to Mia.
"Her brother or sister seems to enjoy it as well," Mia says as she places her hand on her stomach. Chase grins.
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving?
I think you and I should stay the same
'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Steven continued to listen to his girlfriend sing a song for him. Sam kept giving him smiles all throughout the song and Steven couldn't help, but fall in love with her even more then he already was. He knew it was going to be hard, but hopefully their relationship would last the long distance.
They're dimming the street lights, you're perfect for me
Why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now, so come on and come out
And pull me near and shine, shine, shine
Hey Steven, I could give you fifty reasons
Why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well, they're beautiful
But would they write a song for you?
Sam looked at her father and Mia and couldn't help, but smile even more. She had her family and it was amazing. Thoughts kept drifting as she continued strumming and singing. Her life had been crazy at times, but music was the only thing to calm her down. It was more than just a hobby. It was her life.
I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm, I can't help myself
Myself
Can't help myself
I can't help myself
