A/N-Here is another chapter…I had fun writing this chapter and there is a small twist in this story.

Chapter Nine: Fears are Confirmed

Sam stands in front of the mirror in Kelsey's bathroom.

"My lips are swollen."

A chuckle came from behind her and arms encircled her waist.

"I for one am glad about that," Kelsey says with a smirk.

Sam turns around in her arms and kisses Kelsey softly before pulling away.

"I'm a little glad too."

Kelsey smiles and rests her head against Sam's forehead.

"Kelsey, what are we doing?"

Kelsey takes her thumb and runs it against Sam's cheek.

"It's different with you Sam. I've never wanted a relationship until now. I want it with you."

"I'm scared," Sam says while tears fall from her eyes. Kelsey kisses them away.

"I know you're scared. I know how you feel, but I've been through it and I promise I'll be there every step of the way."

Sam pulls away and walks out of the bathroom leaving Kelsey confused. Kelsey follows Sam into her bedroom. Sam looks around the room and notices music and movie posters on the wall and trophies and medals for basketball.

"Sam, what's going on?" Kelsey asks with concern.

"My mom already knows."

Kelsey takes a seat by Sam and grabs her hand.

"How'd she find out?"

"She guessed," Kelsey raises an eyebrow. "I talk about you a lot," Kelsey smirks and Sam blushes.

"When she asked I confirmed."

"Then why are you so scared?"

"I don't know what my dad is going to say. I really didn't know my dad's views on anything. I'm sure he'd want to me to get married so that he can give me away."

"Sam, he can still do that on o-your wedding day."

Kelsey stands up and walks towards her window.

"Kelsey, were you going to say our wedding day?"

"No," Kelsey whispers.

Sam stands up and walks closer to Kelsey.

"Kelsey, please look at me," Kelsey turns around red in the face. "Were you going to say our wedding day?" Sam repeats.

"Yes," Kelsey whispers.

Sam kisses Kelsey softly. Sam pulls away and Kelsey has a smile on her face.

"I'm flattered that you could think of me that way."

"What way?"

Sam smiles, "As your wife." Sam pushes Kelsey's hair away from her face. "But I think wife is a little too fast," Sam sees Kelsey frown so she brings Kelsey's chin up and kisses her quickly. "I will however settle for girlfriend." Kelsey leans down and her lips meet Sam's.

"Wow," Haley sits back in surprise. "I mean Sam, really?" Brooke nods her head. "I never saw that coming."

"Neither did I, but she's happy Haley. It's the first time since the attack that I feel like she's going to be okay and it's because of Kelsey."

Haley takes a sip of her coffee.

"Do you think this is serious or do you think she maybe experimenting?"

Brooke sighs. "Sam didn't want to have sex with John because she wasn't ready so he forced her. I don't think this is experimentation."

"How are you handling it Brooke?"

"I may not understand it, but I support her."

"That's great for you Brooke."

"Haley, I know you have a plane to catch, but thanks for talking about it with me. I would've gone to Julian but then I was thinking about Sam and the comment that Millicent made about Kelsey was wrong and going and there is no way in hell that I'm bringing this to Alex."

"It's okay Brooke. I'm your best friend. That's why I am here."

"Thanks for coming Haley; it means a lot to me."

"It's not a problem Brooke. I just hate the fact that I live in a different state, but with Nathan's career unless he gets traded we are still in Seattle."

"I know Hales. You might get a call from me in the later weeks."

"Tell me about your family."

Sam and Kelsey were lying on Kelsey's bed. Sam's head was on Kelsey's shoulder.

"My dad was a rookie when he met my mom. It was his first year and he started in New York, his name is Trevor." Sam closes her eyes.

"Officer Trevor Daniels."

Kelsey runs Sam's back soothingly.

"Anyway, my mom is a book editor, Lindsey Strauss. They met in a local coffee shop. Dad said it was love at first sight." Kelsey smiles at the story as does Sam. "The coffee dates turned into dinner dates which lead to an engagement, a wedding and then me."

"I'm sorry Kels…I mean about your mom."

Kelsey kisses the top of Sam's head.

"I keep thinking about that day my mom walked out and it kind of gives me hope."

"What do you mean?"

"My mom left before my dad got home and what she told dad and what she told me was totally different. She told me dad it was because I was gay, but she told me that it didn't matter what I was, but she just had to get out."

"Who did she tell the truth to?"

"Me mostly, it's hard to explain. I get an e-mail every week from her and my dad doesn't know."

"I know it must be hard for you, baby, but I'm here."

Kelsey smiles, "what did you call me?"

Sam looks up and blushes.

"It just came out."

"It's okay, I like it," Kelsey flips Sam onto her back and Sam squeals in surprise. "I'm your baby."

"Than what am I going to be?"

Kelsey leans down and whispers in Sam's ear.

"Whatever you want to be."

Sam turns her head and captures Kelsey's lips into a kiss.

"This is crap," Julian states as he slams the latest read script on the desk in front of his father.

"I know what you are thinking."

Julian shakes his head.

"No you don't dad. This script is my freaking life."

Paul sighs, "I admit that there are similarities." Julian sits down in his chair.

"The two main characters are Brock and Julia. They end up pregnant in high school. Brock's mom doesn't want anything to do with her son and Julia's dad supports her."

"It sounds similar—"

"Dad, the kids name is Samuel."

"It's a boy in the script."

Julian rolls his eyes. "I have a daughter named Samantha and by the way the facts in this story aren't exactly accurate."

"Julian, I'm not the script writer."

"Then who is?"

"Alex Dupree."

~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~

Julian walks into the house frustrated. He spots Brooke sitting on the table. He left a copy of the script on the table hoping that Brooke would read it and it appears as though she has just finished it.

Julian sits down and let's his wife talk.

"Brock, Julian and Samuel."

Julian rolls his eyes. Brooke just shrugs her shoulders.

"It's not like it's the first time someone has wrote about me."

"I'm going to kill Alex Dupree."

Brooke raises her eyebrow. "Why?"

"Writing about me is one thing, but writing Sam that way is unreal."

Brooke narrows her eyes.

"Which part? The part where in the script Sam's a guy or the fact that he's gay."

"If this is about our life than Alex got it wrong. Sam isn't…that."

"Do you mean gay?"

"Yeah, Sam isn't like that and I don't want her to be like that. EVER," Julian sighs and picks up both scripts. "I guess I'm just glad that Sam is into guys otherwise we have a problem."

Brooke glares at her husband's retreating backside. Someone clears their throat behind Brooke and when she turns around Sam is clinging to Kelsey with everything she has.

"Sam," Brooke whispers.

Sam steps away from Kelsey.

"I should go…yeah, I should go."

Sam runs out of the house not bothering to hide her tears.

"I should go find her," Kelsey says.

"Kelsey," Kelsey looks up from the floor. "Bring her home."

Kelsey glares at the closed bedroom door. "Fine, but Sam doesn't need this crap."

"You're right, she doesn't."

A/N-So, just a little forewarning, Lucas and Lindsey never have met and they never dated because Lucas and Peyton have never separated in my story. Also, I know I am writing Julian out of character a little bit, but I think that parent's can have different views on things and since Sam and Brooke's relationship has kind of went downhill since Sam's attack and she and Julian are so close I needed to change some things up.
