Chapter 43
That afternoon sam went into his hotelroom at tops and less then a minute later lisa showed up on his doorstep;"Hi,sam,can I please come in?"
"If you're here because of Amanda then you can just go away again!"said he irritated;"I don't want to talk about it and it's none of my business anyway!"
"Please just hear me out before you go all nuts about Amanda being pregnant."answered his ex-sister-in-law;"It isn't what you think!"
"What's that suppose to mean?"asked sam angry;"I know damn well what it is and I should have known better then to let her get to me again while she was pregnant with greg's baby,lisa,but now I know why Amanda suddenly wanted me to go back to Chicago again so quickly and why she was acting so weird after that night in the elevator."
"But it isn't…"began she surprised when all of a sudden mandy came into the hotelroom with her sister and lisa decided to let it be for now,so she quickly turned around and left;"I should get back to work,so we'll talk about this another time."
"No,we won't because there's nothing to talk about!"answered her ex-brother-in-law as he closed the door behind her and looked at his daughters;"What are you girls doing here?"
"Why was aunt lisa here and what were you two talking about when we came in?"asked mandy worried;"Were you guys talking about mom and is there something that we can't know about,dad,is there more to mom's accident then we know about?"
"Mom was really acting strange and distracted at the hospital today,dad,she seemed sad and upset about something."started her sister softly;"Were mom's injuries worse then we were told?"
"No,ofcourse not,girls,you know everything there is to know about your mother's accident and you can't blame your mother for acting differently after what happened to her."said he quickly;"Your aunt and I weren't even talking about your mother,so there's nothing for you guys to be worried about."
Danny had been doing stuff for a friend of his all day when he finally got home and found ryan sitting in his livingroom;"Hi,r.c."
"Hi,danny,I used the key that you have under that rock by your frontdoor to let myself in."started he hesitating;"I hope that you're okay with that."
"Sure I am."said his friend and after getting two beers from the kitchen he sat down across from ryan on a chair,while he gave him one of the beers;"I told you about where that key was so that you could hang out here even if I'm not at home."
"I'm glad about that,because after the morning that I had this seemed like the perfect hide- away to get away from everything."answered ryan;"At first I spend hours walking around town untill I ended up here and decided to wait inside for you,dan."
"What happened this morning,ryan,did your family give you a hard time again?"asked he;"Do you want to talk about it?"
"It's just the same old crap."started his friend irritated;"My brother said that I was grounded and I told him to mind his own damn business,so it's the usual stuff and they can say all they want,but I'm going to do whatever I want to do."
"I was like that at my house as well before I moved out and got this place about six months ago,so that's why it was the best day of my life when I met Kevin and he gave me something to make my life easier back then,r.c."said danny as he suddenly pulled a bag filled with pills out of a draw and gave one to ryan;"All this does is make the crap go away and make you feel on top of the world again,so it's no big deal if you take one and it will make you forget all about your problems I can promise you that."
"Why not."answered he and put it into his mouth;"Making my problems go away sounds great and I've had it with all that crap that I have to take every damn day!"
At tops shane walked out of the elevator and was on his way to ask lisa about alan garrison's roomnumber when he saw him sitting at a table by himself,so he walked straight up to him;"Stay away from my niece,garrison!"
"Is that suppose to be a threat?"asked he looking up;"What do you think that my lawer would say about the chief of police coming downhere to threaten me to stay away from his niece."
"I don't care what your lawer would say about that,garrison,because I'm on to you and as soon as I have enough evidence to pick you up for the death's of Michael Hudson and beth carbson I will do it without hesitating."warned shane him;"Too bad carol didn't die in that car-accident because when she wakes up,and she will,then we 'll know all about what happened that day!"
"From what I hear she's in a coma without any chance of ever waking up again,Cassidy,so I doubt if she'll be talking any time soon."laughed his suspect;"You can't touch me because you don't have any evidence that I did anything wrong."
"I will get that evidence and then you're going down,but untill then stay away from kristy Hudson!"said he angry and walked away again;"I won't warn you again!"
Later that night Amanda was laying in her bed at the hospital when her brother came in;"When can I go home,jamie?""
"If everything's okay in the morning I will let you go home,but that doesn't mean that you can just do whatever you want when you get home because you still have to take it easy for a few weeks or so."answered her brother and noticed the troubled look in her eyes;"Are you still thinking about what happened this morning,Amanda,are you still worried about sam?"
"Ofcourse I am because he wasn't suppose to find out like this and he wouldn't even talk to lisa when she went to see him."began she softly;"Sam thinks that I'm pregnant with greg's baby and lisa didn't even get a chance to tell him that it's his baby."
"Sam was shocked to find out that you're pregnant just like the rest of us,so just give him some time to deal with that first and try to talk to him in a couple of days or so."said Jamie;"You should think about yourself right now and worry about other things later on."
"What do you think about me being pregnant with sam's baby?"asked his sister hesitating;"You haven't said anything about it since you found out,Jamie,are you disappointed in me for letting this happen and getting pregnant?"
"Ofcourse not,Amanda,I know that you didn't plan to get pregnant with your ex-husband's baby and lisa explained to me how it happened,so I can understand why things were able to get so out of hand that night."answered he slowly;"But it does make me wonder if you don't still have feelings for sam,because I don't think that you would have let things between the two of you get so far in that elevator if you didn't still love him and maybe that is something that you should think about before you make any kind of decision about this baby and it's future as well as your own."
Devon was laying in her boyfriend's arms in her bedroom;"Mom doesn't have a fever anymore,so she should be able to come home soon enough."
"That's good news."answered shawn and noticed devon's hesitation at the end;"So…?"
"So we should talk about when or how we're going to tell our parents and everybody else about us."started his girlfriend hesitating;"Do you think that they will be against us seeing eachother,shawn?"
"Even if they do get mad it's a bit too late for that,isn't it?"laughed he and kissed her;"Come on,devon,what would they have to get mad about?"
"I don't know,shawn,maybe the age difference like you pointed out yourself when we got together."said devon;"What are we going to do if they really don't want us to see eachother anymore?"
"As far as I'm concerned there's not a damn thing that our parents can do about us seeing eachother and I'm not going to let them break us up if it turns out that they are against our relationship."answered her boyfriend;"But I doubt that they will be against it,devon,so don't worry about it."
At tops sam was standing outside on the balcony of his room,thinking about Amanda when there was a knock on the door and after opening up the door he saw his ex-wife standing there on crutches;"Can I please come in,sam?"
"What are you doing here?"asked he irritated as well as a bit worried;"Shouldn't you be in the hospital?"
"I had to talk to you!"answered Amanda and came into the room while sam closed the door behind her;"You weren't suppose to find out like that about me being pregnant."
"It doesn't matter how I found out,Amanda,it's none of my business anyway that you're pregnant with greg's baby."said her ex-husband;"I just thought that what happened in the elevator meant something to you just like it did to me,but I guess that I was wrong and that greg means more to you."
"That isn't true!"started she hesitating;"I haven't been with greg like that since before mandy's birthday,so it's impossible that he's the father."
"But if he isn't the father then who is?"answered sam confused when he saw the answer written all over her face;"No,Amanda,that's impossible,because it only happened once."
"Once is all it took."said his ex-wife annoyed while she turned around and wanted to leave again;"How many guys do you think that I slept with,sam fowler,do you think that badly of me?"
"No,ofcourse not,but I'm just surprised about this and I didn't expect it."started he slowly as he stopped her;"We have to talk about this!"
"There's nothing to talk about,sam,I already told you that what happened in the elevator shouldn't have."answered Amanda;"It was wrong!"
"Whether it was wrong or not,Amanda,it did happen and you can deny it all you want,but I know that it happened because we both still have feelings for eachother and we should sort this,especially with a baby on the way now."said her ex-husband suddenly angry as he grabbed her arms and forced Amanda to look him in the eye;"Tell me straight to my face that you don't still have feelings for me!"
"Why are you doing this?"asked she just as angry and tried to break free while her crutches fell down on the ground and Amanda had to grab on to sam in order to keep her sprained ankle off from the floor;"Can't you just leave this alone!"
"Not untill you give me an answer damn it!"started sam tired;"I still love you and I think that you still love me too,so just tell me the damn truth!"
"Yes!"yelled his ex-wife suddenly furious;"I do still love you,sam,are you happy now?"
"Why are you so angry about it?"said he;"What's the point in denying the fact that we're both still love with eachother,Amanda,especially now that you're pregnant with my baby?"
"Damn you,sam fowler,damn you!"answered Amanda tired when all of a sudden she put her arms around sam's neck and kissed him;"I was suppose to be over you!"
