Thank you for reading, and enjoy. Review please! UPDATE: I'm starting a new story, which will probably only be a one shot. haha. it's going to be at ELQ.

Michael and Morgan were running around the house creating chaos. They weren't alone though Carly had joined in on the fun, and she was having a blast playing tag. I'll be lying if I said I wouldn't play with them if they asked. I was extremely bored.

"You guys are cheating! You can't double team me!" Carly shrieked backing into a corner. Her eyes sought mine before going back to her children.

"You always say that Michael and I need to stick together and we are" Morgan taunted playfully, smiling just like his dad. I jumped out of my seat and grabbed a pillow.

"Take one more step and I'll be forced to throw"

Michael couldn't hold back, his lips spread in amusement, "Your supposed to protect us, you can't touch us"

I shook my head, "I'm supposed to protect your mother"

"That's right" Carly added. "But come on Sam you couldn't have gotten anything harder than a pillow?"

"It was either this or a soft and fluffy teddy bear" I justified.

Carly shrugged, "I'll take what I can get" She scooted away from the walls, as her children's attention was still on me. The front door opened and Sonny walked in, "Home! What are are you guys doing?"

"Dad!" Morgan shouted, running to his father and throwing his arms across his waist.

"I missed you too, son" He rubbed the top of Morgan's head and looked up to me, "Can I see you outside for a minute?"

I dropped the pillow on the floor and walked out the door with Sonny. He leaned against a white column and sighed "Jason told me about your suspicions"

"If this is regarding Dominic, then it's not a hunch any more. I was right, he's a cop" I had looked further into it with help from a few sources to find out that Dominic was in fact a cop. And a determined one at that.

"What are you going to do?" I shoved my hands into my coat, it was getting chillier every day now, fall was sneaking up quick and fast.

"He can have evidence on me already, so I don't know exactly what I'm going to do. But I can't kill him just yet, they're watching me. I have to take my time, and plan this our right. Patience is key in this situation" Sonny explained, he closed his eyes tiredly "Goodnight Sam, you don't have to be here this week. Stay home, get some rest"

That is what I have planned for, "Okay! I'll see you next week then"

That quick stop at Burger King was well needed, I had lost some weight over the past month and I needed to pack it back on. I showered (wrapping my hair in a cap) and got dressed for bed and watched all the backed up episodes I had on my TiVo. If I could barely have a life of my own why not enjoy someone else? Even it was written, it was entertaining.

Knock Knock!

I skipped to my door hoping it was the Pizza Hut, even after Burger King I was still hungry so I ordered a pizza. Well I got my wish, but this pizza came with a side of Jason Morgan.

"Hi" All I could pay attention to was the tangy,greasy smell of mushrooms,bacon and pepperoni pizza. I grabbed the box from he and padded back to my couch. I pulled a slice and took a big bite. Delicious. Jason tried to take a piece and I smacked his hands away. This was mine.

"Ow" I continued eating.

"Sonny said you have the week off"

I nodded, "Now I can finally have peace and quiet"

"Well since you have a date tomorrow I guess your peace and quiet begins Friday"

"Noo I don't" chew "What?"

"We're going on a date tomorrow!" He explained waving his hands in the air uncharacteristically, his black shirt seemed to be getting tighten by the second.

"Oooh!" I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand "I forgot, I've been stressing too much"

Jason was quiet for a few minutes and I went back to eating my third slice. "When was the last time you went to the spa?"

"I licked my fingers and pushed the box on the table "Let's see" I pretended to think about it, "Never"

"I can book you a session at this place that Carly's always talking about, she loves the place so much she sends them flowers" Jason offered.

I thought it over, "I really don't want to leave home tomorrow sorry"

"Sam you don't have too, I can send her here" When I didn't answer right away he added, "If you want me to"

I smiled, "Men seem to have a stronger hand"

He gave me a fleeting smile, "She'll be here after noon, I know how you like to sleep in"

Jason was very thoughtful, so thoughtful that he thought a giant woman with enough muscles for two men equivalent to a man. He was right. He deserved a date. Greta the masseuse woke me up an hour later, she folded up the massage table and left. And I was feeling more than I had in years, I lounged on the couch flipping through channels when my Droid rung.

"Hello?"

"It's Carly and I need to talk to you about something but I don't want you to tell anyone about it, that's kind of why I'm talking to you. Since your really don' have any friends"

"Gee, Carly thanks."

"I know we're not close" She laughed off key, "I mean we're barely anything but I don't know who to talk to about this and I really want to talk about it"

"Call your mom" I suggested, and that was a damn good one too.

"She's already busy with her job, I don't want to bother her. I'm going to tell you, but you have to--"

"I pink promise Carly" that made me smile, I was still relaxing even though I was annoyed that she had called. I meant it when I said I wanted P & Q.

"I thought I was pregnant and I had a fifth teen minute break down before going to Wal-Mart and buying a pregnancy test and finding out that I wasn't pregnant"

"Breakdown?" Food channel...HGTV...FX. Bingo baby, triple x was on. I set it to record and turned the television. "Carly?"

"I can't...I can't bring another child in this world and have my baby living in this environment! Both of my children almost died when they were babies! I abandoned Michael and...god. Just, I feel so guilty for crying. I don't want any more children, and I feel terrible about it since Sonny is open to the idea"

I empathized "Why don't you just talk to him about it Carly, it'll be more easier than you think. He's your husband, he'll listen"

I heard a rustle of clothing and footsteps, "Bye Sam" She whispered quickly.

I dropped the phone beside the couch and turned off the lights, receding to my room. Time to read and sleep. Then I'll wake up and go see Paul like I was supposed to weeks ago.

Wondering who Paul is?
