Note to Anonymous: The Xander in this story and the Xander from Buffy
is not the same person. If you read the chapter from beginning to end,
you'd see that he doesn't want to be called Alex because he feel's it's
a "girl's name", and he liked the name better.
Disclaimer: Still ain't mine, nothings changed.
Chapter Forty:
Sam opened the door and there stood a guy she'd never seen before, more then likely it was that Peter guy. They stood there for a moment, neither one of them said anything. He was attractive, about 5'11, shaved head, blue eyes and a VERY nice leather jacket. He didn't look like he went to her school at all.
"I'm sorry, come in." Sam said snapping back to reality. "Would you like anything to drink?" she asked following him into the living room.
"No, I'm good. Where's Xander?" he asked sitting down on the couch.
"Right here bro, what's up?" Xander asked coming into the room and sitting down next to him.
"Nothing much, what's up with you?"
"Nothing, just chillin' with Sammy here." he said pointing to her.
Sam felt out of place and went into the kitchen for a drink, it wasn't like she was even a part of their conversation.
"I wouldn't mind hanging out with her like you do, you're so lucky man."
"What do you mean, 'like I do'?"
"Oh c'mon, everyone knows y'all are dating."
"We're not dating, we never have."
"Oh I just presumed, since you talked about her the whole time she was gone.."
Xander put his hand over Peter's mouth and looked into the kitchen, at least she hadn't heard anything.
"Shut the hell up man, she'll hear you." he whispered.
"You like her or something?"
"I've liked her for a while, but she ain't like that. Besides, she'd never go out with me now that she's pregnant."
"Dude, she's pregnant? I just thought she was fat."
Sam came into the room and it got quiet, she looked at them and they were staring at her.
"Something wrong?" she asked.
"No, nothings wrong, why would anything be wrong?" Xander answered quickly.
"Alright, either one of you wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure." they answered in unison.
"Alright, what do you wanna watch then?"
"I dunno, what do you have?" Peter asked shifting slightly.
"How about..Scarface?" she offered.
"Alright." they - again - answered in unison.
"You two seem to do that a lot, it's creepy."
She put in the DVD and sat down next to Peter, Xander was kinda pissed cause he wanted to sit next to her, but tried to enjoy the movie. About halfway through the movie Sam got bored and paused it, she received two groans.
"I know, I know. I was just wondering if either of you wanted to actually leave the house?" she asked standing up.
"I'm getting really into this." Peter said still staring at the tv.
"I think I'm gonna watch it too." Xander answered.
"Alright, then come get me when it's over." she said playing the movie and going into the basement.
"Where is she going?" Peter asked.
"I have no idea." Xander said still looking at the tv.

Sam was in the basement bashing the hell out of her heavy bag, she'd had it up for almost two years and hadn't used it in forever. She was covered head-to-toe in sweat, but she was having fun. She was down there for about an hour, when both of the guys came down.
"Hey, what's up?" she asked wiping her forehead.
"You've got a heavy bag? That's so cool." Peter said walking over to it.
"Yeah, I'm not really a girly girl."
"I noticed, do you mind?" he asked pointing to it.
"Be my guest, but you'll need these." she said taking off her gloves.
"Thanks." he put them on and started punching it.
"So, how was the movie?" Sam asked turning to Xander.
"Pretty good."
"What do you mean 'pretty good'? It's one of my favorite movies."
"Well, I've seen better."
"Yeah it wasn't the best, but it was still good."
"I guess so, you wanna head up stairs?"
"Yeah, I gotta take a shower though." she said looking down at herself.
"Xander, why don't you take one with her." Peter laughed still busy punching it.
"Shut up man." Xander said hitting him on the back of the head.
"What does he mean?" Sam asked looking at Xander.
"Nothing, it's nothing."
Sam didn't have the chance to say anything else, before Xander took off up stairs. Sam looked at Peter and walked over to him.
"What's up with Xander?" she asked holding the bag for him.
"Nothing I know of, why?"
"He got all huffy and left after you said that to him."
"Oh that? He told me he likes you, but doesn't know how you feel cause you're all kinds a prego."
Sam couldn't believe what she'd just heard, was he telling the truth? She'd just met him, should she believe him? She let go of the bag and walked upstairs, she got her clothes from her room and went into the bathroom. She quickly took her shower and started blow drying her hair when there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" she called.
"It's me, Xander." she heard.
"C'mon in." she put the hair dryer down and turned to face him. "What's up?" she asked smiling.
"I was just wondering when you were gonna be done, I gotta take a leak like no one's business." he said crossing his legs.
"Alright, I'll go."
Sam went into the living room and sat down on the couch, it was already time for bed, but she didn't feel like going just yet. She sat there for a while thinking, when she was interrupted by Peter.
"You don't mind if I watch tv do ya? I have this show I love to watch before bed." he said sitting down next to her and grabbing the remote.
"Yeah, go ahead."
She totally spaced for a while, she was ripped from her thoughts by Gail.
"Honey, it's time for bed." she said sticking her head into the living room.
"Alright mom, good night." she said getting into her sleeping bag on the floor.
"I don't wanna hear any talking."
"Alright." they all said in unison.
Gail turned out the light and went back into her room.
Sam rolled over and soon fell asleep, why did life have to be so damn hard? Why couldn't it be simple? Why, why, why. All she ever asked herself was why.
