Chapter One: Tomorrow
I // Tomorrow just another day
Another way to spend the day
All by myself // I
Sam Taggert wanted to kick herself flat in the face. She was just starting to get her life back in order; more importantly, she was starting to get her son Alex's life back in order. And then he came into their life. 'Cue the dramatic music.' Sam thought sarcastically to herself. It had started out just as a curiosity on her part. Hey, she was a single woman, he was single man, and she had a right to be curious. Curiosity soon became lust and lust became love. But Sam had promised never again.
// Starin' at the TV screen
Flippin' through my magazine
Everything is unclear
I need you here //
Luka Kovac felt like a fool. He had felt this way since.. since his family was taken from him. There had been Carol, Abby, Nicole, and every time ended up the same. Luka alone and looking for love all over again. After his fling with the med student he almost killed, Luka had sworn off love, true love, until he was in a better place, and wouldn't make the same mistakes again. And all that changed when he met Sam. There was something about her; he felt as if they could relate n some level other than need or pleasure. Luka had become closer to her son, Alex. He was a good kid, curious though. He reminded him of his son, Marko. "Not again" Luka told himself again. After all, he had promised never again.
// Walking down this whining road
Rainy Days are all unknown
I have hit the ground //
"Mom, can I have a friend over for Thanksgiving?" Alex asked Sam as they left the hospital later that day. Alex's baby-sitter had been unable to take hi that day, and he had to stay at the hospital for a good part of the day.
" I guess, but won't your friend want to spend thanksgiving with their family?" Sam asked, happy that Alex had a friend that he wanted over.
"He doesn't have a family." Alex replied.
Sam felt a pang of remorse, even though she had no idea about who this friend was. Everyone deserved to have a family. "Yeah, it's not a problem. We're going to have more than enough, right?"
Alex smiled happily. Luka and his mom were going to be together for Thanksgiving, and they learned to love each other, they had to. Mom needed somebody, and Alex wanted a dad. Now they could both be happy.
~*~
(A/n: Sorry about another annoying author's note. Just wanted to say that where in Thanksgiving episode that Luka, Sam and Alex go out for dinner doesn't happen in my fic, and they have an actual Thanksgiving dinner, like Sam had planned.)
Alex sat on the couch and watched a football game as his mom hurried around the kitchen, but paused at the sight of her son watching the game.
"I didn't know you liked football." Sam said.
"I don't." Alex replied. "But the cheerleaders are hot." Alex looked up and smiled at his mother, who rolled her eyes.
"Well, don't get too excited Playboy." Sam joked, and looked at the clock, it was all ready after five and starting get dark. "When is your friend getting here? Do you think I should go and pick him up?"
"No, he's coming, he probably just got held up at work." Alex said, and then wished he hadn't has let that much out.
"Your friend has a job? How old is he?"
"I don't know, 35?" Alex replied, getting angry about being under investigation.
"I've invited a 35 year old man into my house that I don't know?" Sam mumbled, trying to get a grasp of the situation. "How could you do that, Alex?"
"You said I could have a friend over!" Alex fought back.
"Yeah, and when you said friend, I thought you meant someone your age, not mine." Sam countered. "How did you met this guy?"
Before Alex could answer there was a knock on the door. "You are in big trouble." Sam hissed and went cautiously towards the door.
~*~
Luka wondered why Sam had invited his to Thanksgiving dinner, especially since she didn't seem pleased that he spent time with her son. HE knocked again, and wondered if maybe it was not his place to be here. Sam had seemed excited earlier today as she told Abby about this being the first real Thanksgiving she and Alex had ever have. He was imposing on something special. Luka thought since he had all ready knocked twice and there was no answer, perhaps maybe they weren't there. He turned to leave as the door opened up.
"Hi Luka." Sam said with an embarrassed look on her face as she looked up at the tall man. "Look, I think there was some sort of misunderstanding."
"Do you want me to leave?" Luka asked. "I understand completely, I'm probably not who you expected to see on your doorstep."
"You promised, Mom." Alex piped up, as he appeared at the door next his mother. "Luka's my friend, and I want him to stay."
Sam and Luka chuckled and looked at each other for a few seconds. "I don't want to impose." Luka said quietly.
"You're not. Besides, I'll have to listen to him whine all night if I make you leave." Sam said, messing up Alex's hair. "Come in and make yourself comfy. Supper will be done soon."

I need to breathe. //
"Is everything all right?" Sam asked, referring to the food. "I don't have experience in this."
"Delicious." Luka replied, and put another bite of turkey into his mouth.
"It's too dry." Alex replied and played around with the food on his plate. "May I be excused, I want to go lay down."
"What's wrong?" Sam asked.
"I'm tired." Alex answered lamely. His new plan was to leave his Mom and Luka alone for a few hours so they could get to know each other better. It could work, they had sat down and had a wonderful dinner together, and to Alex, it seemed like they were a little family.
"Okay." Sam replied. "I'll come in and check on you in a bit." Alex got up and went into his bedroom, closing the door almost all the way, leaving enough open for him to watch his work.
Sam and Luka finished eating, and sat at the table silently for a few minutes. They made eye contact once and laughed at it all. " Did you want coffee or anything?"
"Coffee would be nice." Luka replied. He grabbed Sam's arm as she began to clear the dishes from the table. Sam looked up for at him, as he let go of the soft skin of her arm. "Let me clear the dishes, it's the least I could do."
"No, the least you could do is actually doing the dishes." Sam joked, and put he plates down. "You take cream or sugar in your coffee?"
"Just black, thank you." Luka replied as Sam went to prepare the coffee. He followed her into the kitchen with the plates, dropping on the floor as the door hit him in the back. Sam jumped at the noise, and turned around quickly. "Sorry." Luka said sheepishly and bent down to pick up the shattered pieces.
"It's okay, really." Sam replied, and bent down to help him. "It's not he first broken." Luka smiled and noticed how close they were; he could smell her perfume. Sam seemed to notice too and stood up. "I'll go get a broom."
~*~
Later that night, Alex still sat behind his door as he watched Sam open the door for Luka. "Well, thank you for coming." Sam said. "Alex really appreciated it."
Luka nodded in reply. "So, I'll see you at work tomorrow?"
"Yeah, more than likely." Sam replied and rubbed Luka's arm. "Get home safely."
Luka walked out of the door and leaned against the wall after Sam closed the door. An old saying came to his mind, something his grandfather would tell him whenever he said he would never do anything. 'Never say never, boy, you never know what you will miss in life if you do.' the voice echoed in the back of his mind.
~*~
Alex saw Sam coming back down the hall and scrambled fast to get into his bed. Sam opened the door and laid down on Alex's bed with him. "I know you're awake." Sam whispered.
"No, I'm not." Alex replied. "I'm sleeping right now."
"Very funny. I want to talk to you about Luka." Sam said and wrapped her arm around Alex.
"You like him, right?"
"Alex, I know you're plan. And you know what I told you. When I'm ready to date again, I will. But I'm not ready yet, okay?"
Alex didn't reply.
"Alex?"
"Yeah, Mom I get it."
// We'll be all right
We'll be all right. //

A/n: So, did you like it? Review and tell me, even if you didn't like it. Constructive criticism is always appreciated. I'm going to continue, and the next chapter will have the hospital we all know and love in it. I may go off the storyline the show has, but isn't that what fiction is about?
Please Review!
