A/N: Unfortunately there is no Julian in this chapter. I couldn't find a place to fit him into the chapter so he will show up next chapter…I hope. We do get a little moment between Aidan and Brooke though. Hope you like the chapter. I am posing one question at the end of the chapter so make sure you answer it.

Chapter Forty-Two: Adults Don't Know Anything

Sam and Kylie step into the hotel slowly by Kylie's request. She didn't want her girlfriend to pull any of her stitches. Kylie was walking behind Sam with a hand protectively on her lower back.

"Kylie, I think I can walk into a room by myself," Sam says irritatingly. "I know you are trying to help, but you are trying too hard," Sam says as Kylie places Sam's bag at the foot of the queen sized bed.

"I'm sorry. I just want to take care of you."

Sam perches herself at the end of the bed.

"I know you are. I'm just being grumpy and I'm tired and it's just been one hellish of a morning. I'm sorry."

Kylie plops down next to Sam minding her injuries.

"I'm trying too hard and I apologize for that. I love you."

Sam smiles softly.

"I love you too," Sam yawns and lies down on her back. Kylie gets up from the bed and starts removing Sam's shoes and socks along with her sweatpants. Sam never liked sleeping with socks.

"I want you under these covers and I want you to sleep. I will wake you up when I get dinner."

Sam's eyes were already closed.

"Burgers," Sam murmurs.

"I'll bring you burgers," Kylie states while pulling the covers over her girlfriend's torso. Kylie never got another response from her girlfriend because Sam had already fallen asleep.

-Defying Gravity-

Kelsey strolls into Karen's café and takes a seat at the front counter. Haley looks up from the register and smiles at her regular.

"I figured you would be helping Sam recuperate at home."

"So did I, but she has her girlfriend for that."

"Kelsey, I am so sorry."

"Yeah, so am I. Can I just get a coffee Haley? I need to get back to work."

Haley pours Kelsey a cup of coffee.

"Kelsey, in my senior year of high school, Nathan and I were separated. It took us a really long time to get back together. The point is that we did and I think it made us better people for it."

"Did Nathan see other people during that time?"

Haley shakes her head.

"No."

"Your situation is nothing like mine."

"I'm just trying to help."

Kelsey smiles kindly.

"I know you are and I appreciate the effort, but I have to deal with this on my own."

"We are all pulling for you Kelsey."

-Defying Gravity-

"So much has changed since the last time I saw you," Meredith smiles as she sits across from Kylie. She had been surprised when she got the phone call from Kylie asking her if she wanted to catch up. She accepted right away. "I'm assuming you're out."

Kylie nods her head and smiles slightly.

"Out and proud."

Meredith frowns and looks away.

"You can be out and proud, but just not with me."

"Mer, it wasn't about you. That was all on me. I was scared and I didn't care about how you felt in that situation and I apologize for that."

"What made you come out?"

"My senior year of high school, my graduating class only had three same sex couples. I played basketball with two of the, and I was jealous for the longest time because they had the guts to do something that I wanted to do with you, but never did. I told myself enough was enough and before I left for college I told my parents that I was gay and I haven't spoken to them since."

"I never really liked your parents."

Kylie laughs at Meredith's statement.

"I don't like them either, but they are my parents."

"How are things with your…girlfriend?" Meredith asks even though she doesn't want to.

"She's doing fine," Kylie takes a sip of her coffee. "Or at least she says they are."

"That's extremely vague. You think there is something wrong and she doesn't am I right?" Kylie nods her head. "According to you, what's the problem?"

Kylie leans back in her chair and sighs.

"Would you call your girlfriend being in love with someone else a problem?"

Meredith looks at Kylie in complete and utter shock.

"Kylie, why are you in a relationship with someone that doesn't love you?"

"She does love me Meredith. She's just not in love with me."

-Defying Gravity-

"Momma, is Sam going to be okay?" Aidan asks his mother as he joins her on the couch.

Brooke smiles down at her boy.

"Yeah she's going to be fine. We don't have to worry about that bad man anymore."

"That's good. I don't like the bad man."

"I don't like the bad man either."

Brooke goes back to watching the TV and enjoying her cuddles with her son. It's not very often that Aidan allows it to happen. Brooke had to take what she could get.

"Do you like Kylie momma?"

Brooke smiles inwardly at her son's questions. He was up to something.

"I think Kylie is a nice girl and I know that Kylie treats your sister right."

"I like Kylie too, but Kelsey is better. I love Kelsey."

Brooke chuckles as she throws an arm around her son.

"I love Kelsey too, but we have to let the grownups figure this out all by themselves."

"That's so boring. Adults don't know anything."

Aidan knew that his sister wasn't so smart when it came to Kelsey and he also knew that Kelsey wasn't so smart when it came to Sam so he had to help them. Now he had to figure out why.

A/N: How soon to you want Kelsey and Sam to be together?

In the next 3, 5, or 7 chapters? (Very odd numbers, I know, but it's mostly because I don't have the story planned out...)
