A/N-I haven't paid much attention to this story at all and I apologize…I really have no excuse on to why I haven't updated except for the fact that I was stuck and have been stuck on this story for quite some time. Since the summer is here and that I am officially done with high school I can focus more on my writing and hopefully have every one of my stories updated and be continued updating on a more frequent basis.

Anyways, I am still trying to figure out the whole Paul and Victoria aspect in my story and I have been coming up blank so I just decided to write some stuff. If you lovely readers have any suggestions on where I can take it please let me know…it may even encourage me to update more quickly if I have a direction on where I am going.

Chapter Eleven: Hidden

Paul Norris and Victoria Davis were seated in a dark and quiet corner in a restaurant. Both ordered drinks and were currently talking about their situation.

"It seems we have a slight problem, Victoria."

"I know. Alex wasn't right for the job."

Paul nods his head.

"What do you suggest we do about this?" Paul asks Victoria.

"That's why we are here Paul."

"Since someone new apparently didn't work out I would suggest someone old, someone from their pasts," Paul says as he takes a drink.

"Let's think, we tried to get rid of Sam and that obviously didn't work and I don't think it will so I think it's best if we leave her alone and besides she's spunky, I kind of like her."

Paul nods his head slightly.

"I would suggest someone from Julian's past. Someone with really bad history."

Victoria raises an eyebrow to the suggestion.

"And who would that be?"

"Let's just say that some things can't be forgiven."

Sam woke up from a dead sleep because of nightmares, something she thought that would never go away. Sam slides her feet from her bed and pulls on pajama pants before exiting her room and going into the kitchen for some milk and possibly cookies. She was surprised to see Brooke already up and with Julian as well.

Brooke looks up and frowns when Sam comes out of her room.

"Honey, are you okay?"

"Nightmares," Sam says as she takes a seat next to Julian and puts her head on his shoulder.

Brooke gets up from her spot and goes over to the fridge and gets a glass of milk for Sam. She heats it up a little bit because Haley had said that it helped Jamie get back to sleep.

Brooke sets the glass in front of Sam and kisses her forehead.

"This should help."

Sam yawns and nods her head.

"So Sam what were your dreams about?" Julian asks.

Sam takes sip of her warm milk and then looks at Julian.

"I don't want to talk about it," Sam whispers.

Brooke grabs Sam's hand.

"You don't have to."

"What's going on between you two?" Sam asks with a smirk.

Brooke looks at Julian and smiles.

"We are starting over."

Sam nods her head.

"That's good because you need each other."

Brooke looks at Julian and asks for silent permission. Brooke starts talking when she sees Julian nod his head.

"Sam, there is something that Julian and I have been meaning to ask you."

"What is it?"

"We love you Sam," Julian says with a smile.

"I know."

"We want to adopt you and its okay if you say no-"

Brooke was interrupting by Sam hugging her hugely. Brooke and Julian grin at the girl in front of both of them.

"I take it as a yes."

Sam pulls back and smiles.

"It's a definite yes, but you should have asked me sooner."

"Later is better than never isn't it?" Brooke asks with a smirk.

Sam nods her head.

"Way better than never."

Julian stands up from his spot and puts his hand on Sam's shoulder.

"I think it's time that you try and get some sleep and we will celebrate more tomorrow okay?"

Sam nods her head. She hugs Julian and Brooke before walking into her room and closing the door gently.

Brooke turns to Julian with a smile on her face.

"I'm glad that she said yes."

"There was never a doubt in my mind."

"Not even a little bit."

Julian shakes his head.

"No because Sam wants this, she wants all of it. We are going to give her all of it."

Brooke smiles and kisses Julian softly on the lips.

"You truly are an amazing guy aren't you?"

"I'm not that bad," Julian says with a grin causing Brooke to smile more.

"Come on stud you are staying with me tonight," Brooke says as she grabs Julian's hand and drags him to the bedroom to sleep. They still had a lot to go through before they took it to the next level.

Victoria walks into Paul's hotel room with a smile on her face. At dinner Paul was being very vague on who in Julian's past could have a major grudge against him, but today Paul was going to tell Victoria all about it. Maybe it will be something good and she could get the ammunition she needs to stop her daughter from seeing him once and for all.

"So, who is this person from Julian's past that I know nothing about?"

"Not many people actually know about it. I'm even betting that Brooke has no idea what her ex husband did back then."

Victoria sits down on the chair next to Paul.

"So, are you going to tell me?"

Paul nods his head and hands a folder over to Victoria.

"Her name is Kate Tucker."

A/N-So, the ending was kind of cliffhanger and I apologize, but like I said I don't know where to go with the angle with Victoria and Paul…I do have one thing in mind, but I want to see of you readers can come up with anything.

SO IF U HAVE IDEAS PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
