Bam woke up on the couch in Dico's arms the next morning. He was startled at first, but then remembered how he got there in the first place.
"Oh God...I find out today..." Bam thought, out loud to himself. Dico woke up and stared up at Bam.
"Today's the day..." he said, sitting up. Sami came walking downstairs.
"Morning, guys." she said, finishing her yawn.
"Morning, Sami." Dico replied, yawning, also.
"Did you guys sleep here last night?"
"Yeah. Why"
"Oh. I was looking for Bam last night. That's all."
"Oh, okay." Sami nodded and then went downstairs to get something to eat. Bam looked over at Dico.
"I wonder what she wanted me for." Bam said, quietly.
"I don't know." Dico shrugged. They both jumped to a sound coming from upstairs. Dunn had just opened Raab's door and it slammed against the wall. He stomped out of the room in anger, and left Raab on the bed, with his head in his hands.
"Oooh...drama." Dico said. "Heh. Yeah. I wonder what it's about." Dunn grabbed his keys from the dining room table.
"I won't be back for awhile." Ryan mumbled, going out the door and into his car. He drove off.
"What bit his ass?" Bam said, wondering why the hell Ryan would walk out like that.
"Raab." Dico said, starting to laugh. Bam laughed too. Sami came upstairs from the Pirate Bar, hearing Dunn take off in his car.
"What happened?" she asked, munching on a cereal bar.
"Ryan left Raab, I guess." Bam said. Sami couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Why? Ryan proposed to Raab and Raab said no?" Dico and Bam laughed.
"We shouldn't really be laughing...Raab seems hurt up there." Dico said, pointing at Raab's open bedrooom door.
"I think someone should go talk to him." Bam suggested. Sami, of course, was the first one to vollunteer.
"I'll be right back then." she said, walking up the stairs and knocking slightly on Raab's door, causing him to raise his head up and look at her.
"Oh...hey." he said to her. His eyes were red and puffy from crying. Sami closed the door and walked in and sat down next to Raab.
"What happened?" she asked.
"It's a long story"
"It's Saturday. I have time." Raab sighed.
"Dunn and I have been keeping this from everyone for almost a month now"
"You aren't...together...are you?"
"We...were together." Sami's jaw dropped slightly.
"I didn't mean to offend you last night...I'm sorry"
"It's okay. You didn't know. No one except Ryan and I knew"
"Oh"
"We got into a fight about the stupidest thing"
"Do you wanna talk about it"
"Not right now"
"Okay. But when you do want to talk about it, just tell me, okay"
"Okay. Thanks, Sami. You're so nice." Raab smiled and Sami smiled back.
"I'm gonna go downstairs and talk to Bam. He seems sort of worried and I wanna know what's wrong so that's where I'll be." Sami stood up and threw the wrapper from her cereal bar into the trashcan in Raab's room. She walked downstairs to the lounge. She saw Bam talking on his cell phone. Dico looked up and saw her and quickly stood up and walked her away from him.
"What's the deal?" Sami asked Dico, who was pulling her downstairs.
"Bam doesn't want you up there now." Dico said.
"Why"
"He just doesn't. I can't really explain right now. Please just don't go up there right now." Dico looked like he was almost in tears.
"Okay, okay. I won't." Sami sat down on the couch in the Pirate Bar and sighed, worried.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Bam was talking to Jimmy Pop on the phone.
"So...did you get the results yet?" Bam asked, nearly shaking.
"Um...yeah. I was waiting for you to call so I didn't want to open them yet." Jimmy replied.
"Well...get 'em and open 'em, now"
"Alright, alright." There was silence on the phone until Jimmy came back with the results. He opened up the envelope and read the papers.
"...it's...her..." Jimmy said, almost dropping the phone.
"Ohitis? WellIgottagonowbye." Bam quickly hung up his phone and looked at it for a minute before hurling it across the room. Dico heard the crash from upstairs.
"Oh shit..that can't be good." Dico said, rushing up the stairs. He saw Bam with his head in his hands, crying. He sat down next to his friend and rubbed his back.
"It...w-was p-p-positive..." Bam choked out.
"Oh God...I'm sorry Bam." Dico gave his friend a hug and then turned around to see Sami at the top of the stairs. He just shook his head and turned back to Bam.
Sami ran back downstairs and sat where she was sitting, waiting for some explination from someone.
"What the fuck is going on?" Sami asked herself.
"Why?" Bam asked, still crying. "Why does she have to be his"
"I don't know...I'm really sorry." Dico replied, wiping a few of his own tears away. Bam looked up from his hands and pulled his knees up to his chest.
"This has to be a nightmare...please...tell me that I'm asleep right now"
"I'm sorry..." Suddenly, Sami came storming up the stairs.
"Okay, someone better tell me what the fuck is going on." she said, in an angry voice, before seeing what was right in front of her.
"I should tell her Bam...she does deserve to know." Dico said.
"Go ahead..." Bam sat there crying while Dico stood up and walked to Sami.
"Well?" she said, in a less angry voice. Dico walked her to a different room and closed the door. They sat down on the bed and Dico started to explain what was happening.
"Um...about 11 and a half years ago...your mom came to Philly to see a Bloodhound Gang show. She was a big fan and loved the band. That's when she met Jimmy Pop. After that show...they got along well...and then, your mom didn't have a place to stay so she stayed at his house and..." Dico paused, seeing a horrified look on Sami's face.
"H-holy...fuck..." she said.
"Anyways...that night, they slept with each other and then your mom went home the next day. Back to Missouri." Dico looked down. "She called him two months later saying she was pregnant with his kid"
"No..no...no...this isn't true...no"
"Then he heard about you for the first time. 11 years old...from Missouri...he didn't suspect anything really. Until he actually saw you. He said he looked a lot like the woman he slept with 11 years ago and he wanted to make sure so...he asked Bam to help him get some of your DNA to do the...erm...test"
"I wondered why my hair brush was hairless." Sami said, laughing slightly, and then getting serious again. "So you're saying...the dad I thought was my dad...wasn't my dad"
"Yeah"
"But...does that mean I have to move in with Jimmy and...his stupid wife, Gina?" Dico laughed slightly at the last comment.
"I think so"
"No! I wanna stay here with Bam and you guys! Please don't make me go...Gina hates me, I know it. Please don't make me move..." Dico saw the sadness in Sami's eyes and gave her a hug.
"I need to talk to Bam." she said, holding back her tears.
"Okay." Dico stood up with Sami and put his hands on her shoulders and walked her out the door. Bam looked up. He was still crying.
"You two talk...I'll be downstairs." Dico almost ran downstairs, once Sami sat down.
It was silent for awhile. Neither of them exactly knew what to say to each other.
"I don't wanna leave Bam...I love it here." Sami finally said. Bam looked up at her.
"I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay, too." he replied. He pulled her towards him and they both lied down next to each other on the couch with Sami still in Bam's arms.
"Then why'd you help him with the test"
"I don't know"
"Because your a good friend"
"Yeah, I guess...why were you looking for me last night"
"I had a nightmare"
"Oh." Bam felt bad that he wasn't in his room where he was supposed to be the night before.
"It's okay. I'm fine now. I went back to sleep and dreamed about Dico chasing me with socks on his head playing his kazoo to the ABC song and singing it. And for some reason...Ryan Gee was there in the background, dancing in a stripper outfit.." Sami started laughing at the thought. Bam started imagining Gee in an outfit like that and shuddered.
"Ew." he said, laughing. Sami and Bam lied on the couch for about an hour, mostly in silence.
"Is there a possibility that the results are wrong?" Sami asked.
"I'm not sure..there could be." Bam replied. The two of them lied there, thinking about the test results being wrong and what would happen.
