A/N: Splitting this into two chapters because it's getting kind of long, but those of you who had answered my question had said that they wanted to see Kelsey and Sam together by the next three chapters…Will it happen? You'll just have to find out.

Chapter Forty-Three: Aidan Needs a Plan

For the last week, Aidan had been trying to come up with an idea on how to get his sister and Kelsey back together and so far he's had zero ideas. Lately, Kylie had been spending time at the house with the family as Sam was slowly getting back to a full recovery status.

Aidan didn't like the way everyone would ignore the fact that Sam should be with Kelsey and not Kylie so he knew he needed to get help, but he didn't know who could help him, until Lydia came to mind.

Aidan runs out of his room with a smile and sees his momma standing in the kitchen looking at a box of food.

"Momma, can I go over to Lydia's house and play with her?"

Brooke looks up from the cake box and down at her son with a smile.

"I'm not sure buddy. I can give Haley a call and see if they have any plans."

Brooke grabbed the phone off of the hook and dialed Haley's number. No one was working the café today because Brooke thought it would be a good idea to let a few other workers run it to see if they could handle it.

"Hales, its Brooke…look; Aidan wants to know if he could hang out with Lydia for a few hours. I'm calling to make sure that you don't have any plans or anything."

"Brooke, slow down. Yes, come over with Aidan. I'd love to have best friend time and I'm sure Lydia would love to have some of her own best friend time."

"Thanks Hales. We should be over there shortly."

Brooke hangs up the phone and smiles at her son.

"Get ready Aid, we need to leave soon."

Aidan smiles and walks joyously to his room. He needed his partner in crime to make his plan work.

-Defying Gravity-

"Out of all the places, I never would have thought this is where I would find you."

Sam glances from her laptop and sees her girlfriend slowly walking towards her. Sam was sitting on a bench at the rivercourt with her laptop. Lately, she had started to get that inspiration for her next book.

"And why is that?"

Kylie shrugs her shoulders and sits down next to Sam.

"Kelsey proposed to you here. I figured you wouldn't want to be reminded of everything."

"The rivercourt signifies more to me than just Kelsey's proposal, Kylie. No need to get jealous."

"I'm not jealous," Kylie says with a grin. "Are you writing anything good?" Kylie asks the editor in her coming out quickly.

"I think so. I've been writing for the past three hours."

Kylie grinned.

"How much of it survived the delete button?"

Sam saves her work and closes her laptop. Sam sets it off to the side.

"Pretty much all of it. Dare I say that this could be my second book?"

Kylie leans forward and kisses Sam.

"That's great baby."

Sam nods her head.

"Now, I know what I have been doing, the question is, what have you been doing? You've been missing for awhile."

"I was catching up with Meredith some more."

"Your ex girlfriend," Sam mentions as she stands up from the bench.

"Yes, my ex girlfriend who just happened to be my friend before that."

Sam rolls her eyes.

"That's how it always is. That's beside the point. My point is that my girlfriend hasn't been spending a whole lot of time with me and I don't like it very much."

Kylie sighs and stands up as well.

"Samantha, I love you and these past few weeks I have sat through awkward dinners with your parents knowing that they would rather see you with Kelsey then me. I have walked around town and even bumped into a few old classmates that have said that Kelsey is your soul mate. Meredith is just my friend. I dated her once, yes, but you dated Kelsey as well and I know you still love her so you can't judge me."

Sam wraps her arms around Kylie and kisses the side of her head.

"You're right I don't. I love you Kylie. I really do and a part of me will always love Kelsey just like a part of you will always love Meredith and I guess I'm just scared. She could take you away from me and I won't have anybody because the person I did have, my friend, doesn't want to talk to me and I don't blame her so, I'm just scared and I don't want to be scared."

Kylie leans up and crashes her lips to Sam's. Their tongues fought for dominance and Sam's arms landed on Kylie's waist. When breathing became an issue, both girls pulled away.

"Go out with me tonight," Sam asks breathlessly. "Tonight, you and me, let's go out or stay in. I could cook us dinner and we can sit by the fire. Our apartment is set up for it. Let's just spend a quiet night together."

Kylie grins and kisses Sam quickly.

"I would love that."

Sam looks down at her watch with a smile.

"Let's go home so I can get things started and then you need to leave our apartment for me to set things up and then our date night can commence."

Kylie starts packing Sam's laptop away and hands it to her and grabs a hold of Sam's hand as they start walking off of the rivercourt.

"Is there any chance that I get to see what you have written?"

Sam shakes her head.

"Nope, I want to finish it first."

"Damn," Kylie states with a pout. She really wanted to read it.

"But once it's done you can. I mean, you are my editor."

-Defying Gravity-

When Brooke and Aidan arrived at the Scott household, Aidan and Lydia ran upstairs quickly disregarding any of their mother's questions. Brooke and Haley just laugh at the kids antics.

"Okay, how about we head to the kitchen and we can talk because I am assuming that's what you want to do?"

Brooke smiles and follows Haley into the kitchen where a lot of their talks seem to happen, but it was okay with Brooke because these last few years have helped to have Haley there with her.

"Spill," Haley says as she pours Brooke some coffee.

"There is nothing to spill Haley. I just don't know how I feel about the situation."

"Brooke, you can't keep thinking that. This is Sam's life we are talking about. It's up to her on who she dates or doesn't date."

"Haley, my daughter would be married already and Kelsey wouldn't be so damn sad all the time. I feel bad for that girl and I hate knowing that my daughter caused that."

"Stop looking in the past Brooke. Things will work itself it you just have to give it time. Sam dealing with a lot right now as is Kelsey and I just think eventually things will work out."

"I hope you are right," Brooke says before sipping her coffee with a sigh.

"What's Julian been up to?"

-Defying Gravity-

"How is she doing?"

"You could just ask her yourself."

Kelsey shakes her head.

"No, I can't do that. It hurts too much Julian. I love your daughter and I don't think I can ever move one from that."

"Kelsey, things change all the time. People can change all the time, but you just have to have a little faith. Everything will work out. I can promise you that."

Kelsey traced her thumb over her coffee cup and sighed.

"We had a plan," Kelsey announces as she looks up at Julian in the café. "Sam and I would've already been married and around this time she was supposed to be pregnant. We had a plan and now it's over."

Julian looks at Kelsey with wide eyes.

"Wow, you really had that advance of a plan. I didn't think anybody did."

"We did. We talked about it in high school. My whole life was planned with Sam and now that Sam is not in my life, I feel like I'm drowning. I really wanted kids," Kelsey admits as she bites her bottom lip.

"Kelsey, you can still have kids."

Kelsey shakes her head.

"No, I only wanted them with Sam. Now I can't have kids."

"I'm sorry Kelsey. I'm sorry for Sam and I'm sorry for changing the subject now because this is getting a little personal here and it's still a little awkward for me."

"I'm sorry," Kelsey apologizes quickly. "Sometimes words flutter out of my mouth and I can't stop them. You're right, this isn't something I should talk to you about and I apologize."

"It's okay. How are your parent's?"

"They're good," Kelsey responded politely. She was glad that the conversation was taking a different course.

-Defying Gravity-

Meredith opens her door in a hurry and let's Kylie walk inside.

"So, how did she take it?"

Meredith watches as Kylie takes a seat on her couch and sighs and Meredith sighs internally. She knew Kylie hadn't done what she said she was going to.

"I don't understand," Meredith sits down next to Kylie. "I thought you were going to end it and be with me."

"So did I, but it wasn't like that. Meredith, I have to make this work with her."

Meredith shakes her head.

"No you don't. Kylie you told me you love me. Do you remember that?"

Meredith and Kylie settled into the couch after drinking the rest of the wine bottle. Kylie had decided that since Sam was busy at her parents' house that she would catch up with Meredith.

"Any more news on your relationship? Did Sam suddenly change her mind and let you in?"

"Don't do that Meredith. Sam has faults."

Meredith leans closer to Kylie.

"We all have faults Kylie. She doesn't love you, not like I do."

"I know," Kylie whispers as she stares at Meredith's lips. "I know that. I love you, too. I really, really do."

"Then what are you going to do about it."

Kylie leans forward and captures Meredith's lips with her own.

That had been two nights ago.

And this is now.

"You kissed me and then we made love for hours. You can't sit there and tell me that none of it mattered."

Kylie looks at Meredith with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know what to do. If I say I regret that night then you are hurt and I'd be lying, but I have a girlfriend Meredith and she's at home cooking for me. I feel like she's letting me in and I can't risk losing that."

Meredith looks away from Kylie and stares straight ahead.

"Then you should go home and don't come back."

Kylie stands up from the couch and looks at Meredith who won't look her in the eye.

"I'm sorry."

"Your apology doesn't help either of us," Meredith says before Kylie leaves her house.

Meredith leaned back on the couch and felt her heart break into a million pieces for the second time in her life and it was Kylie who had broken it both times.
