Chapter 14 – Sam's Birthday
Disclaimer – I don't own one tree hill
the two weeks leading up to Sam's birthday went in rather quick but in those two weeks Nathan finally realised the nanny had a thing for him because every chance she got she felt his ass and the night before Sam's birthday Nathan walked out onto the balcony that's connected to his and Lucas's room and saw her swimming naked and when she looked up and saw Nathan she smiled.
Nathan didn't know what she was playing at fair enough his and Lucas's sex life wasn't as much anymore but Nathan was in charlotte most of the time and when he was home he was spending time with Sam but Nathan was gay and the nanny knew this well it was pretty obvious especially when he had his tongue down Lucas's throat.
On Sam's birthday Lucas and Nathan went downstairs and made her breakfast " happy birthday Sammy" they yelled when she came downstairs and they hugged her.
Sam laughed " thanks"
"so Sammy everyone's coming over for lunch so go get ready and we'll do present with everyone okay" Lucas said
"okay" Sam said as she ran upstairs to get ready
A while later everyone came around and Sam was hugging everyone. After lunch they all sat down and Sam opened her presents, her uncle skills got her a Wii , grandma Karen & grandpa Keith got her a new iPod, grandma deb got her some new clothes. Everyone had given her their presents apart from her dad's " Nathan why don't you go get Sam's present?" Lucas asked him
Nathan came back and handed Sam an envelope Sam was completely confused so she opened the envelope looked inside it and saw it was adoption papers Sam looked up at her dad's and then the rest of her family she was shocked.
"so Sammy girl what do you say?" Nathan asked her with a smirk
" yes yes yes" Sam said jumping up and hugging her dads.
Skills smiled and winked at his niece then it clicked with Sam what her uncle had said the day she was fighting with her papa " don't worry about the whole official thing"
"uncle skills you knew?" sam asked him
" of course I did shorty we all did" Skills smiled
" oh that's playing dirty uncle skills remember the deal we had I'd tell you what they got you for Christmas and I'd help you get that female basketball coach.. yeah that deals off" Sam laughed
"Skills I wish I was shocked that you were going to use our daughter to get you a girl but I'm not" Nathan laughed
Lucas laughed " I don't think any of us are shocked"
That night the three spent time as a family they gave the nanny the night of so they could spend time just the 3 of them.
A few weeks after the adoption was finalised Sam's name was officially changed to Scott and she couldn't be happier.
Sam was un-grounded eventually but the first night she was un-grounded her and Lucas went to a movie because Nathan wouldn't be back until later.
While Lucas and Sam were at the movies Nathan got home early and decided to have a shower, when he heard the shower door slide open he presumed it was Lucas home early and Sam was at Skills when he turned around and saw Carrie he yelled " what the fuck Carrie get out of here"
She grabbed at him " it's okay Nathan I love you too we can be together now!" she said sounding deadly serious
Fuck Nathan thought I should have listened to Sam " no Carrie for a start I'm gay and I'm happily married" Nathan told her as he grabbed a towel and threw it at her and covered himself
As Nathan walked to the bedroom to get away from Carrie but she was closely behind him. Lucas and Sam came home early because Sam felt ill so after Sam walked to her bed Lucas went to his room and saw Carrie and Nathan in towels " what the fuck is going on" Lucas yelled
" Lucas this isn't what it looks like I swear to you" Nathan said to his husband walking towards him
" don't lie Nathan Lucas its exactly what it looks like me and Nathan are in love and we're going to be together" Carrie told him
" get fucked Carrie I'm gay and have a husband" Nathan told her still trying to get to Lucas
" both of you get the hell out! Carrie your stuff will be packed and sat at the end of the drive tomorrow if its not gone by 4pm I'll give it to good will and Nathan I don't give a shit where you go just leave" Lucas yelled
Lucas walked out the room and walked into Sam's room to see his sleeping daughter why the fuck has he done this especially now lucas thought he pulled out his cell phone and called Haley and told her he needed her.
Nathan got dressed and threw Carrie out he went into the living room where Lucas was and tried to talk to him " Lucas please it's not what it looks like I was in the shower and she came in I threw her out that's when you walked in please baby you've got to believe me why would I want her? I'm gay in case you've forgotten I married you! Why would I do it when our life is going so good?" Nathan asked him
Lucas turned to look at Nathan and yelled " go to hell Nathan, this is the same way it was in high school apart from this time it's not Tim it's the female version now get the hell out of this house and don't come near me or Sam again I want nothing to do with you anymore! Turns out always and forever isn't actually always and forever huh!?"
At this point Sam heard yelling and walked to the top of the stairs and listened to Nathan yelling at Lucas " you know what Luke that's a low blow you know nothing happened with Tim back then like nothing happened with Carrie there so don't give me all that shit! And fine if you don't want me in your life but you're not pushing me out my own daughter's life, that's her call not yours so I'll go but I'll be back tomorrow and we'll be talking about this! Always and forever still means something to me I'll always love you Lucas Scott!"
" you know what Nate come back if you want but I won't be talking to you and stay away from Sam she's had enough arseholes in her life without you being your dad and giving her another one!" Lucas yelled
At this point Sam had enough she ran down the stairs " what the hell's going on!? I don't want dad to go please don't make him go please!" Sam was sobbing now
Nathan pulled Sam into a hug and kissed her head " I'll be back tomorrow baby I promise I'm going to go stay at grandma's to give papa sometime to calm down I promise I'll never leave you okay" he told her
Nathan let Sam go and Lucas pulled her into a hug " I ment what I said Lucas always and forever" Nathan said as he walked out
A few hours later Lucas had gotten Sam to calm down and she fell asleep Lucas went to his own bed and cried what the hell had just happened in the space of a few hours he went from married to the love of his life and happy with their child to separated but he still had Sam and he knew that's all he needed to get him through all of this he had to be strong if not for him but for her.
The next morning Lucas was in the kitchen when Sam came down " morning Sammy"
" morning" Sam grumbled
" so I was thinking how about we do something today?" Lucas asked
" are you fucking serious you just threw my dad out and you think we can act like normal! Next joke if you looking for me I'll be with my friends at least they don't fuck my life up" Sam said to him with a bitter tone
" SAMANTHA SCOTT! Just because of everything last night doesn't mean you get to talk to me like that got it! Now you don't know the full story so don't act like you do young lady! You can go out but stay away from Nathan do you understand me I don't want him near you right now" Lucas told her sternly
" you have to be kidding me I told you all from day one that woman was a fucking whack job but no you all thought I was acting like a child! Okay so we've went from calling him dad to Nathan how does that work huh? Just because you've threw him out doesn't mean he's not my dad but if we're playing that game fine I won't go near him LUCAS!" Sam yelled she knew it was a low blow but it had to be done
She grabbed her back pack and left to go see jack she needed someone who had never left her. After she spent some time with jack Sam decided to go visit her grandparents because she knew they'd listen she was angry and upset before she even got in her grandparents' house she was sobbing. When she walked in her grandpa looked at her " Sammy what's wrong sweetie" Keith asked her
" papa threw dad out last night and he said I can't see him or talk to him all because that whack job nanny and then this morning he tried to act like nothing had happened and I flipped and he went from calling him my dad to calling him Nathan so I said fine if we were playing that game I wouldn't speak to him and called papa Lucas just to make him see how much it hurts, why did this have to happen grandpa everything was going fine!" Sam sobbed into her grandpa's chest
Keith rubbed his granddaughters back " shh Sammy it's going to be okay dad and papa will sort it out wait and you'll see, they'll make it up honestly and if not ill kick both their ass's until they do" Keith told her
Karen watched her husband with their granddaughter for a while before taking Sam over to the sofa and hugging her.
"what if they don't make it up grandma what happens to me , I don't wanna be sent away again" Sam sobbed
" sh Sammy you listen to grandma that'll never happen we all love you to much and they'll make up and if not you'll still see them both I promise baby" Karen told her
Sam fell asleep on her grandma's lap, Karen called Lucas and told him Sam was staying with them so him and Nathan could fight all they wanted without Sam seeing it because she's seen enough in her life without seeing that.
Lucas stood at the sink looking out at the back yard wondering how he got here a broken marriage and a daughter who thought he was the worst thing in the world, Lucas was ripped from his thoughts when the door close behind him show time he thought to himself.
Nathan took a deep breath " where's Sam?" he asked not wanting to yell or scream while she was in again
" she's at my mom's she went there after our fight this morning" Lucas told him
" why were you fighting?" Nathan asked having a pretty good idea why
" why do you think Nathan, now what do you want?" he asked getting annoyed
" in an ideal world my family back for my husband to believe me for my daughter to be in her bed upstairs asleep not at her grandma's because she's upset at us but right now I'll settle for you listening to me" Nathan told him
" yeah well in an ideal world I want my husband to not be sleeping with the nanny for my 15 year old daughter to be upstairs right now asleep and not hating me because I threw her cheating ass of a father out , don't always get what we want though Nathan do we" Lucas told him bitterly
" Lucas I didn't do anything I swear she came in the shower I thought it was you when I turned around and saw her I shoved her out the shower threw a towel at her and asked her what the hell she was doing , I ran out the bathroom to get dressed and that's when you saw us! Lucas please believe me I wouldn't do that to you I wouldn't do that to us and I especially wouldn't do it to Sam, you think I'm really capable of splitting up my family!? Nathan asked him
" like father like son as they say Nathan" Lucas bitterly told him
" that's not fair Luke I'm nothing like Dan! I've never once gave you reason to believe I am! So don't give me your crap Lucas you know I'm not like him because if I was would you be with me all these years! Huh?" Nathan asked him getting angry
"maybe deep down I do but I buried it thinking you were better than him! But clearly I was wrong Nathan! Just get your stuff and go stay away from us!" Lucas told him
" you know what Lucas I won't stop fighting for us, for all 3 of us to be a family again and until you take me back I'm not walking out on Sam none of this is her fault!" Nathan told him
" well your fighting for nothing Nathan and fine you can see Sam but keep whatever little slut of the week you have away from her do you get that or do you want it written down for you" Lucas asked him
" ill take Sam this weekend, and there won't be any little slut of the week around her because there won't be one Lucas what part of always and forever do you not get!" Nathan yelled
" the same part of our wedding vows when you said you'd never cheat and till death do us part! Clearly that was all lies coming from your mouth even back then Nate!" Lucas yelled back
" you know what Lucas have it your way ill go but I will never stop fighting for us even if it takes days weeks months or even if it takes 20 years I won't let you go Lucas Scott!" Nathan said as he walked out the door
Lucas held on to the counter with tears in his eyes hoping if he held tight enough the tears wouldn't come but they did " always and forever natey" he whispered to himself but he knew he couldn't go back he couldn't forgive him he was turning into Dan and Lucas hated Dan.
