Chapter Three - Closing Time

"Will, oh sweetie, we didn't hear you come back in," Sami started to say, but was interrupted by a voice overhead.

"Attention shoppers: Salem Photo Studio will be closing in approximately five minutes. Thank you for choosing us as your picture studio. Please come again."

"Come on Will, we have to hurry to get our picture taken before the store closes. Excuse me, miss, my son is here. We are ready for our picture," Sami called over to the receptionist's desk.

"I am sorry Ms Brady. The store is closing now. You will have to reschedule for another time. Would you like to quickly reschedule now, or would you like to come back again tomorrow? Just a reminder, but Christmas is our busy season, and we are rapidly filling up," Mona said smirking at Sami.

"What? What the hell did you just say? I am NOT coming back here for another appointment! I booked one for today, and I am damn well going to have it TODAY!" Sami screamed, but then calmed herself down again. "I know this time of year is always busy, that's why I specifically made the appointment this early. Could you please try to fit my son and me in really fast? You don't know what I pulled to be here on time, and not to have our picture taken would only break my son's heart."

Lucas, who had stayed quiet throughout the ladies conversation, snorted and said, "Will's heart? Come on Sami, Will doesn't mind coming back. It's no big deal."

"Actually Dad, I really hate these clothes and would rather not put them back on," Will whispered to Lucas, tugging on his shirt.

"Oh um, okay. Go ahead Sami- tantrum away," Lucas laughed.

"Shut up Lucas. Just leave now before I start on you next!"

"Ms Brady, I am sorry but there is nothing that I can do. The store is closing and I am going to have to ask you to leave. Please reschedule for another time tomorrow," Mona intervened.

"But I can't reschedule! Today was the last day for the discount offer, and I am not going to pay full price for something I should have paid less for!" Sami said, getting angry again.

Lucas thought that Sami was just being her obnoxious self, but as soon as she said 'discount', he knew why she was so adamant on having the special offer. He realized that with the holidays coming up, she was saving her money for Will. And he also knew that Basic Black was not being very generous with her Christmas bonus because of his chat with his mother. He knew Sami would be too proud to ask him if they could share Will's gifts this year, but if she did ask him, he would never refuse it. Sami was the mother of his child, and was once his best friend, and also, once his bitter enemy. Not they were slowly rebuilding their friendship and hopefully, something more- he couldn't let her down now.

"Um, pardon me, Miss…Mona," Lucas flashed his lop sided grin, "but do you think that it would be alright if we got the photographer to take an extra ten minutes to take the picture? I wouldn't mind paying anything extra, of course."

"Lucas, what are you doing? I can handle this by myself! I don't need you help," Sami said, embarrassed, but still angry.

"Don't worry Sami, I got it this time," Lucas winked at Sami.

Mona was thinking to herself about the young man's offer; she wouldn't mind getting the extra cash at all. "Well, Mr. Roberts, I think that could be arranged. But I don't think we can take two separate pictures. Just let me go check with the photographer."

"Alright, that's fine, thanks," Lucas called to her retreating back." Okay Sami, no need to thank me; only a kiss from you would be greatly appreciated," he arrogantly said to Sami.

Will sensed that there would be a "discussion" between his parents, so he slowly backed off to the other side of the room.

"Oh, you wish Lucas. The only thing that you will be getting from me is a slap across the head! Why the hell did you just do that? What do you have pulled up your sleeve?" Sami questioned.

"There's nothing up my sleeve. Jeez Sami, you were always the judgmental one. Can't a guy just offer to pay for his family's holiday Christmas card?"

"What do you mean, 'your family'? You're not going to be in the photo," Sami said.

"But of course I am. I mean, I just paid extra money for yours; it might as well be mine too. Plus, it will hit two birds with one stone- Will won't have to get dressed up twice. Face it Sami, I am going to be in the picture, whether you like it or not," Lucas replied smugly.

"Good, you can be in the picture; I sure as hell know that I won't be. I don't care, I will write out regular cards this year. When you are finished here with Will, make sure you bring him to Grandpa Shawn's after because he is sleeping over there tonight. I am leaving now."

"Sami! Sami, wait! If you really don't want me to be in you Christmas card, then I won't be. I can still pay for it though. Think of it as an early Christmas present," Lucas sighed dejectedly. Thinking to himself, he wondered if Sami really did hate him. He certainly didn't hate her. He was ready to admit that he was slowly falling in love with her.

Quick A/N - I used the title "Closing Time" from the group Semisonic; it's a really amazing song and everyone should listen to it LOL.

(Oh yeah, I just wanted to ask if anyone thinks that I should do a Harry Potter fic...I cant decide whether or not to write one, so even if you don't like Harry Potter, while you are reviewing kindly put a 'yes' to write one or a 'no' not to write one)
