Chapter 9

Through the nest few weeks when they weren't working Jason and Sam would spend as much time with each other as they could, although they both had busy schedules with work.

Sam had the day off and she decided that she would go to Kelly's for lunch. She was finishing eating when she saw Carly walk in with a blonde following her. She had seen Carly a few times at the hospital and she had briefly met her one morning as she was leaving Jason's. Jason had mentioned that she should have lunch with her sometime, he though that they would get along. Sam knew that the blonde with her was Jason's ex wife Courtney, but she had never spoken to her.

"Hey Sam do you mind if we join you?" Carly asked

"Sure go ahead" Sam said trying to be nice.

"Sam this is Courtney, Courtney this is Sam."

"Hi it's nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too: Sam said thinking this might not be as bad as she thought it would be.

"So do you have today off?" Carly asked

"Yeah I've got today and tomorrow off."

"Thats good, everyone needs a break. Oh yeah I wanted to ask you, will you be seeing Jason today?"

"Jason?" Courtney asked

Sam had assumed that Carly would have told Courtney about them but apparently she hadn't.

"Yeah he's coming over for dinner tonight, why?" Sam asked kind of ignoring Courtney

"Can you just tell him to call me, I need to know if he's still picking Michael up tomorrow."

"Sure"

"So are you and Jason seeing each other?" Courtney asked making sure she would get an answer this time.

"Yes we are"

"Oh, well thats good."

"It is?" Sam asked. She though it would have bothered her.

"Yeah I just want Jason to be happy."

"Thats good, Well It was nice to see you again Carly, and it was nice to meet you Courtney but I have to be going."

"It was nice to meet you to" Courtney said.

"I'll see you later, you two have a good night" Carly said with a smirk on her face.

With that Sam got her jacket and walked out of Kelly's. She was surprised at how well that went, she wasn't expecting that from Courtney.

"She seems nice" Courtney said after she watched Sam walk out.

"Yeah I've only met her a couple times but she does seem nice, and with the way Jason talks about her I know how happy she makes him."

"Does he talk about her alot?" Courtney asked, finding it wierd that Jason would talk about his relationship with her.

"Not awhole lot, but enough for me to tell that he cares about her."

"Well I'm glad that he found someone who could make him happy." Courtney said wanting to drop the subject.

Courtney noticed the time and relized she was running late.

"I'm sorry Calry but I've got to get going to, I'm suppose to meet Jax in ten minutes. I'll call you later."

"Okay see ya"

After Sam left Kelly's she took a walk through the park to pass away some time. It was now three hours later and she was waiting for Jason to arrive. As soon as she sat down she heard a knock at the door and knew it was Jason.

"Hey" she greeted him as she opened the door.

"Hey, how was your day?" he asked

"It was pretty, good. I got to relax some and take a nice walk in the park. I also had a conversation with Carly and Courtney at Kelly's today."

"Oh, how did that go?" Jason asked wondering how his ex wife would have treated her.

"It actually went good."

"Well thats good."

"Yeah I agree with you I could see myself being friends with-" Sam was cut oh by her phone ringing, "Excuse me" she said as she made her way over to the phone.

"Hello.. Oh hi Dar... I'm good you? ... what... oh my god ... Yeah okay, thanks for calling." Sam hung up the phone and walked back over to the couch.

"What was the about" he asked her but she didn't answer she looked as though she was somewhere else.

"Sam" he said a bit louder

"What, oh I'm sorry Jason did you say something"

"Yeah I asked you what the phone call was about. Sam are you okay you look kind if pale"

"I um, that was my aunt. She told me that my grandmother died earlier this morning." she said and voice started to quiver

"Oh, Im so sorry Sam" Jason said as he pulled her into his arms. He could immediately feel body start to shake and the wetness from her tears against his chest.
