Hey. Here's me with a long-awaited update again. Enjoy and I own nothing! =D Jersey Shore ending saddens me deeply. =( I still think it deserves a category.

(Ron-Sam)

All the next day, Ron sat in the chair with his head in his hands. Sam and he had been in their fair share of fights before. However her disappearance seemed different this time. Ron felt that Sam was going to keep Alli away from him. Even though he had been out of the girl's life for her first three years, now that Ron knew of Alli, he wanted to be very involved in her life as her father. Ron called his mother and step-father on the phone to talk about it. Ron's mom and step-dad urged him to call Sam and see what was up. Ron was nervous. When she left the other night, she was very angry. He didn't know where she went. Her parents were going to live in an adult-only community. Maybe she was renting a place or something. Ron did the smartest thing and called her cell phone. Luckily, she answered.

"What?" she answered rudely. Ron was taken aback and realized quickly she was in no mood to talk.

"It's me...Ron...um, I wanted to talk to you about an arrangement with Alli." he said meekly.

"What about one?" she snapped. Ron frowned. Sam was doing what he feared. She was going to keep Alli away from him. Sam scoffed. "You can't get a hint, Ron. You did me and Alli wrong. You cheated on me. You haven't changed. Our relationship is too toxic for Alli to be around. I don't want her watching us fighting." she said firmly. Ron scowled and furrowed his eyebrows.

"I love you Sam! I have changed but you can't open up your damn mind enough to see and accept it. I think you want us to fight!"

"Why would I want to fight with you? That's so idiotic and stupid!" she argued back. Ron scoffed, knowing he was going off topic. "Now what the hell do you want?" she asked. Ron rolled his eyes.

"I want to be a part of Alli's life." Ron choked back tears. The prospect of never seeing his daughter again or rarely seeing her scares him. He wants to see his daughter now that he knows about her. It's just so hard for him to relay these feelings verbally. Ron sighed loudly. "Please. Don't take her away from me. I love her. I want to see Alli." There's a silence. Ron was afraid that Sam had hung up on him. However she had spoken up. She had actually agreed quietly. Ron's heart skipped a beat. He thanked her vigorously. Sam wasn't in a better mood though.

"I'm not coming back to the house though. Meet me at Rivoli's at 3." Quickly, Sam hung up. Ron was so happy. He told the other roommates that he would spend the day with his daughter again. They were happy for him and wished him luck. Ron took the one Escalade and drove out to Rivoli's in Toms River. He saw Sam's small car in the parking lot. She was sitting inside. He could see Alli sitting in a booster seat. Ron had pulled up in the parking space adjacent to them and got out of the car. Sam glanced at him and got out too. She went around to the other side and unbuckled Alli from her booster seat. The little girl jumped out of the car and ran over to the Escalade, screaming happily.

"Daddy, Daddy!" she exclaimed. Ron smiled and picked her up. Alli hugged Ron and nestled herself comfortably in his strong shoulder. Sam came over with a small overnight bag and and smiled lightly. Alli began to babble about things she had done since they had last seen each other. While she was talking to Ron, Sam had opened the Escalade door and put the overnight bag on the seat. She had also taken out Alli's booster seat and began to hook it up in the car. Meanwhile, Alli was still talking to Ron. "I missed you, Daddy!" No one could see, but through Ron's sunglasses, he was tearing up. Managing to choke back some tears, Ron smiled through his sadness.

"I missed you too, Alli." he said, kissing her. Sam had come over, once the gushy moment was over. She smiled at Alli.

"Okay, baby. It's time to go with your daddy. Give me a kiss goodbye." Ron put Alli down and the little girl ran over to her mom, wrapping her arms around her. Sam knelt down to Alli's level and kissed her on the head. "Be good for Daddy, okay?" she said. Alli nodded. She skipped away from Sam and hopped into the Escalade. Ron buckled her in and shut the door. He turned to look at Sam. Sam's maternal smile was instantly replaced with a scowl. Ron gulped and scratched his head nervously.

"Well, thanks...I uh, I really appreciate you doing this. I'll bring her back to Hazlet tomorrow at 2." he said. Sam nodded slowly and turned a little to face the car.

"Alright. You two have fun." she looked at the window and waved at Alli, who was watching them. Alli waved back and looked away. Sam plastered on her scowl again. "You be good to her, hear me? I don't want to hear any bad reports." Ron laughed a little and nodded. She lingered her gaze on Ron, like she wanted to kiss him. But she hesitated. Ron was the mature adult and leaned in to kiss Sam on the cheek. Sam blushed wildly and smiled a little. "See you tomorrow." she mumbled quickly, getting in the car and driving away. Alli and Ron watched as she pulled away. Ron was excited to spend the day with his daughter. He had a whole day planned out: they would go on the boardwalk, play some games, ride some rides and have something to eat. Ron couldn't help but think though...

Does Sam want him to stay away or does she secretly want him back?
