AN: Takes place Friday September 25th, 2010
It had been a month since Sam had left New Jersey and had come home. Over that time she had put every woman who thought she had a chance with Kevin in their place. They had complained to Les that Kevin gave Sam special treatment. He of course hadn't done anything about it because yes Kevin did give her special treatment but that was to be expected. And it wasn't like it was that great of treatment. Yes he would do a couple of her off duties but that wasn't anything new. Really what it all boiled down to is that they were jealous of Sam and wanted her gone. They all had it in their heads that maybe if she was gone then they'd have a chance. Little did they know that they weren't just dating, no they were engaged to be married next summer.
Since Sam had left Greg hadn't hired anyone else. He was damn determined to get her back. He saw she had something others didn't. He wasn't going to let that guy talk her out of her dream. He'd been putting his plan into action for the last month. Tonight he was finally doing something about it. His wife knew he was up to something but didn't know exactly what he was up to. They were up here visiting her father and step mother. Greg wasn't too impressed with her father of course the favor was returned. Of course Greg didn't care that her father didn't like him. It wasn't like the guy was that great of a guy from what he'd heard. Just to piss him off, Greg had brought up Kevin's name. You could tell that his step mother wasn't at all fond of him. She thought he was throwing is life away with that girl. Of course her husband agreed with her but really he did care for his son and didn't think he was throwing away his life. He was actually quite proud of him for setting his mind to something and going for it. But he'd ever admit that to his wife so long as he lived.
Work
Tonight wasn't turning out to be Kevin's night. Not only was he a driver short but it seemed like every person he talked to was a dumb ass who didn't know what way was up. It wasn't helping that Sam had already screwed up an order tonight. Really it wasn't her fault. He heard her read back the order to the guy. But when the guy came to pick up the order he said that it wasn't right. He made them re-make the pizza and then tried to take the one that was the screw up too. Of course Kevin saw through that and only gave the guy the one. He acted pissed off but Kevin really didn't give a shit because the guy was just a dumb ass to begin with anyways.
Now to add to it there was a phone call for him. It wasn't like they weren't busy enough. He now had to stop what he was doing and answer the damn phone!!
"Hello?" Kevin asked trying to not bit whoever's head off.
"Why are you holding her back?" Greg asked.
"I'm sorry you must have the wrong number," Kevin said getting ready to hang up.
"Hey dumb ass!! Stop holding her back!" Greg said.
"What the fuck is it to you?" Kevin asked realizing that it was Gregory House.
"You're just holding her back," Greg said.
"Yeah so what if I am?" Kevin asked.
"You're just afraid that she'll become better then you," Greg said.
"FUCK YOU!" Kevin yelled into the phone before slamming it down.
"Kevin?" Sam asked afraid to get her head ripped off.
"WHAT?" Kevin yelled.
Thankfully there were no customers in the store right this second. Or that's what Kevin thought anyhow.
"There's a woman at the front wanting to talk to you. She says I screwed up her order," Sam said.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY FACE! YOU CAN'T DO YOUR FUCKING JOB SO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!! GO BACK TO THAT PUSSY JOB YOU HAD!!" Kevin yelled startling everyone except for a smiling Sam.
"Thank you!!" Sam said hugging and kissing Kevin before getting out of there.
After Sam left she headed to her parents' house where her daughter was currently at while they were working.
Parents' house
"Sam what happened?" Wendy asked.
"I was fired!!" Sam said excited.
"umm…Sam usually most people are pissed off about that," her mom said.
"No it's great it means I can go back to New Jersey!!" Sam said.
"Yeah and leave your daughter behind again," Wendy said.
"What's your problem?" Sam asked her sister.
"Nothing expect for you leaving your child," Wendy said.
"Girls please don't fight," Liz said.
"No mom let her say what she needs to," Sam said.
"Ok first off you always said how you'd never leave your child and then you up and left her for a year. Now you're doing the exact same thing," Wendy said.
"Who says I'm leaving my daughter?" Sam asked.
"You think he's going to move?" Wendy asked.
"Actually yes I do," Sam said.
"What ever," Wendy said going back into the kitchen.
After a little more talking Sam left with Lisa to head home to start packing.
Later that night
After Kevin got home he and Sam talked it out. Kevin knew he couldn't leave them short a manager with football and everything. Finally it was decided that every weekend Sam or Kevin would come see the other. Sam didn't like that she wouldn't see her boyfriend and daughter every night but she couldn't let this job slip her by. Kevin told her she better take it because there wasn't a job at Val's anymore. So with that Sam got packed up again to leave to New Jersey again. Little did she know what her future husband would decide.
A few weeks later
Over the last couple of weeks Kevin had missed Sam dearly. He hated not having her in his arms at night and having someone to vent to when the day had been stressful. So on the last day of the third week, Kevin packed up his daughter and himself. He decided that he was done with this being apart. He'd found a replacement for himself and he was out of there. He was on his way to just Sam just how much he loved her.
New Jersey
Sam was just leaving for the night when in came the last person she expected to see.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked taking her daughter into her arms.
"She missed you and wanted her mommy," Kevin said.
"Just she missed me?" Sam asked raising an eyebrow.
"She and me," Kevin said.
"Hmm. So what are we going to do?" Sam asked.
"I don't know what you're going to do but I'm going home for the night," Kevin said.
"Be serious," Sam said.
"I quit so that Lisa and I can be here with you," Kevin said.
"But what about a job?" Sam asked.
"What about it?" Kevin asked.
"Umm the fact that you no long have one," Sam said.
"Don't worry about that. I have a job. It's being a dad to my daughter," Kevin siad.
"And what? I'm going to be the one bringing home the bacon?" Sam asked.
"Sounds good to me," Kevin said.
"Not on your life mister," Sam said.
"Well you always did tell me that I had a talent for music and writing," Kevin said.
"You going to become a writer of music?" Sam asked.
"No more like composer," Kevin said.
"Kevin," Sam said giving him that warning look.
"Seriously I'll find a job Sam," Kevin said.
"I'm sorry to interrupt but we really could use a manager in our cafeteria," Lisa Cuddy said coming into the office.
She's been warned about a strange man and child coming into the hospital so she's come to investigate.
"No offence Lisa but you really don't want two Gregs' working here," Sam said.
"HEY!" Kevin said.
"I don't think anyone can be as bad as Greg," Lisa said.
"He can be trust me," Sam said.
"Am not," Kevin said.
"Want to bet?" Sam asked.
"Sam he doesn't have to decide tonight. If he wants the job its opened to him. I just thought this way you'd both be working under the same roof and your daughter can have accuse to our free child care to employees," Lisa said.
"I'll take it," Kevin said.
"Glade to hear that," Lisa said smiling before leaving them be.
"You know you don't have to do this just for me," Sam said.
"That's what you do for the ones you love," Kevin said.
"Have I ever told you how sweet you are?" Sam asked smiling at Kevin.
"Hmm not today," Kevin said pulling Sam onto his lap.
"Well you are poobear," Sam said.
"So I can't have a nickname for you but you can me? What's up with that?" Kevin whispered seeing as his daughter was already sound asleep in her mother's arms.
"I'd tell you but then I'd have to kill you," Sam said.
"Just wait until we get home," Kevin said.
"Well you'll have to catch me first," Sam said getting up and starting to run away.
She of course made it easy for Kevin to catch her. He too was nice about it as not to harm either his daughter or Sam. And he didn't want her to awaken because then she may think it was play time when really she should be sleeping.
Once they got back to Sam's apartment they made up for lost time after Lisa was in her portable crib of course.
