Lucky didn't understand the feelings he was having for sam. Well he understood them just didnt understand why they were so strong. A week went by and Alexa was released from the hospital. The infection was almost gone but she was better enough to go home which made sam very happy. Since Sam had returned home with her child lucky hadn't been by he called only once. Sam wasn't sure what was going on with him, maybe he changed his mind and thought that elizabeth and her kids were more important than sam and Alexa. Sam just wasn't sure. She didn't call him either because if he wanted sam and alexa as his family then they were more than happy to let them in. Sam was in love with lucky but it hurt not being able to be with him. Lucky was keeping his distants because the dreams of a happy family with sam soon turned into fantasy of him and sam. Lucky was afraid that he might act on those dreams, because they have already kiss and lucky wasn't going to do that to sam when he was still married to another women. Christmas was around the corner. Laura had invited Sam and Alexa to the spencer gather but Sam nice rejected the invitation because on account that Liz and the boys would be there with Lucky. Christmas was suppose to be great and not weird so sam just having alexis and the girls over at her place for christmas eve and just her and alexa on christmas day. Sonny had invited sam to his get together but sam turned him down as well. Sam wasn't much into partying much but thought something nice and simple with her family would be nice. Nik was going to stop by with gifts before going to the spencer things. Lucky was on his way to Nikolas because he needed someone to talk to about his feelings for sam. Lucky was in luck. Emily was just on her way out to do some christmas shopping.

"Hey lucky" she had said on her way out. he replied with a hi and waited for her to leave.

"whats up lucky" nik had ask as lucky sat down in the couch.

"sam" lucky simply said

"what about sam?"

"well we have been spending alot of time together, because of Alexa and..." lucky trailed off.

"your starting to have feelings for her again"

"ya but its more of me thinking maybe i made a mistake with liz and that i should be with Sam and Alexa, but im still married to liz who is pregnant with my child. and would me and sam really work?"

nik smiled.

"i understand what your feelings for sam lucky, its understandable that your feelings for sam are coming back, i was their and watched you to fall in love, i quesitoned it at first but when i saw how happy you to were i knew that it was real"

"but i dont remember loving sam Nik."

"maybe not but that connection is still there. and if you and sam are truely ment to be like i think you are, then you are going to find out that Sam is the one for you to live your live out with and not elizabeth."

"so sam really did love me"

"ya and that hasn't changed. I think she still does. I was there when i told her you were dead and her world fell apart right infront of her. But once she found out she was pregnant and knew it was yours she couldn't of been happier because she knew the baby was made out of love. and it helped her i think she still has the text message you sent her telling you love her on her phone. so if its still there you need to figure out what your going to do about liz and sam"

"thanks nik i should get going i want to go get Sam and Alexa a gift and take it over to them"

"bye hope everything goes ok"

Sam had her christmas list done with and was decorating her house as Alexa slept upstairs in her crib. She was just finishing the christmas tree when their was a knock on her door. Sam was in a great mood and answered the door. Shocked to see Lucky on the other side holding gifts.

"well im shocked to see you"

"can i come in its cold out here"

"sure" sam moved out of the way so lucky could come in who sat the gifts on the table by the door.

"i hope its ok im here"

"ya i was just finishing decorating the tree" sam said walking into the living room putting the last tinseal on.

"something is wrong with that tree"

"what do you mean?" sam said standing back and not seeing it.

"there isn't a star on the top of that tree or nothing for that fact"

"ya well i don't have a ladder and i can't reach it, so i decided to leave it off"

"oh but you can't, it wouldn't be a christmas tree then"

"well smarty pants you put it up"

sam reached in the box and pulled out the star shoving it at lucky. who took it and put it up.

"well there now it looks great"

"thanks" sam had said saracsticly.

"hey, it looked great before but now its better than great"

"ya well you do with what you can at my height LUCKY"

"awe are you senetive about your height"

"no" sam made a pouty face causing both of them to laugh.

"want some hot chocolate"

"that sounds great"

lucky took off his coat and followed sam to the kitchen.

"so what brings you by all of a sudden i mean i havent heard from you in days"

"ya sorry been busy with work and all, but i wanted to drop off gifts for alexa since i heard your not coming to the spencer gathering"

"ya i thought it be a little to weird, so im keeping my space"

"ya thats what lulu said, so what are you doing? going to sonny's?"

"no i turned him down as well, christmas eve Alexis and my little sisters are coming over and were doing a little family things nothing big,"

"what about christmas don't you have any plans"

"no, Me and Alexa are just going to chill around the house"

"But its her first christmas Sam, she should be with family"

"she is with family Lucky, im her family"

"thats not what i mean"

"look lucky its what i am doing, im not going to introdue on your family plans just because im the mother of your child and i don't want to be near elizabeth so thats out, Alexis is going to be at sonny and i dont want to be near jason so im stuck at home, so it works"

lucky left it at that. as he took his hot cholocate from sam. They walked back into the living room. Lucky didn't want sam spending a holiday alone, it just wasn't right. Sam acted like it didn't bother her but he knew it had to. Lucky hadn't known what to get Sam and him spending the day with them would do the trick.

Week went by and christmas was here. Lucky and liz were up getting ready they were heading to The spensers for their christmas gathering. Lucky had planned on stopping by Sams when they were done. They were at the party and lucky had been talking to his father who had his back to liz because luke was talking about sam and alexa. When liz came over and hugged lucky trying to show everyone they were a happy family. Both jake and Cam were playing with laura and lulu.

"The boys just love Laura"

"all her grandkids lover her" said lucky.

"especially Alexa, she just adores Laura so much" luke piped in. He didn't hide the fact that he wasn't fond of Liz and favored sam over her.

"where is Alexa? shouldn't she be here?"

"Sam wanted to stay home with Alexa"

"Thats stupid, isn't it Alexa's first christmas, a child should be with her family and not taken up in a house all day just because her mother is a..."

Lucky had been in his train of thought until he heard luke say something to liz.

"hey, that is my little cowgirl and her mother you are talking about. Yes Sam is fin like champagine with a kick like scotch, but she has given my son the one thing he wanted and it was a child that was his and no other man's"

lucky tried not to laugh at what his father said to liz and lucky wasn't about to defend liz after everything they have been through.

"i'm going over to sam, they really shouldn't be by them selfs and maybe i can convince sam to come over"

he quickly kissed liz cheek and said by to everyone and headed to Sams. Sam had a nice little event with her sisters. Sam was awake early because that was her she was always up early. Sam was drinking a cup of coffee, her hair was up in a pony and she was wearing a very festive christmas tree pj pants that Kristina had gotten her for christmas and a dark green tank top and fuzzy house slippers that was from molly. Sam heard a knock on the door. Sam was a little out of it and was wondering who would be there that early. She hadn't planned on seeing anyone today. The most she had planned was her and Alexa watching series of parades and movies that were on. Sam got to the door holding her cup of coffee and came face to face with a santa clus. stood there looking at the santa.

"can i help you?"

"HO HO HO, im here to see a little girl named Alexa"

Sam raised an eyebrow as she took a drink of her coffee knowing full well that it was lucky.

"well santa you have pretty crappy timing i mean she is still asleep after all its 10 in the morning"

"my bad" lucky said in his normal voice and then corrected it with a deeper santie voice. Sam tried to hold in the laughter but couldn't. lucky looked to funny. "are you laughing at me?" lucky said in a hurt normal voice.

"yes i am, you look funny lucky, your to skinny"

"ok look the pillow fell out on my way up here, thats whats in the bag" he showed sam inside of the bag and she laughed again.

"i'm sorry but its funny lucky, besides what are you doing here you should be with your family"

"because its alexa's first christmas and you should be alone on the holidays so im here to spend the day with you guys"

"what about your family"

"well they are fine with it, actully my dad was defending you to liz"

"oh really what he say"

"he was comparing you to champange and scotch" laughed lucky as they went upstairs to Alexa's room.

"sounds like luke"

lucky walked in and Alexa started crying when he picked her up.

"lucky your scaring her"

"i'm sorry" he was trying to calm his daughter down and nothing was working.

"take the suit off lucky"

"fine" he handed alexa to sam and stripped out of his santa suit. He was wearing regular clothes underneath. and alexa stopped crying and looked at lucky with a cute little pouty confused look on her face.

"im sorry baby girl"

lucky walked over to her and kissed her forehead and took her out of sam's arms. sam grabbed his suit folding as they went downstairs and she placed it on the table by the door and they sat down on the couch and started watching the christmas parade that was on. Back at the spencer gathering everyone was sitting around talking. Laura was talking to luke and Nikolas.

"You know Sam and Alexa really should be here and not be at home alone"

"They should be with family, but i understand why sam didn't want to be here"
they gave glances at Liz.

"why don't we take this party over to sam?" suggested nikolas.

"thats a great idea" luke said

"is sam's place decorated?" laura asked

"a little why"

"grab the misletoe Luke and lets go to Sams"

everyone got ready and left going to sam but Elizabeth she took her sons and went home. She hated sam and didn't want to be with her. Lucky and Sam were on the couch with Alexa between them watching the disney parade. Lucky was all excited and was pointing things out to Alexa on the tv. Sam just sat their and watched them. She thought lucky was a great father. Sam was happy, truely happy for the first time in a long time. She was taken out of her thought when their was a knock on the door. Lucky looked at her curiously.

"Were you expecting visitors?"

"nope"

Sam got up and went and answered the door still in her pjs. She was shocked to see the whole spencer clan standing thier in front of her she looked from them to lucky. lucky put up his hands as in i didn't know about this.

"he didn't know but we thought you should be at the party so we brought it to you" laura said pushing her way through. Sam let them in.

"you guys didn't have to do this" sam said.

"yes we did sam, you guys are part of this family" lulu said walking in next. carring food.

"wheres your bathroom" luke asked.

"upstairs to the left" sam looked at him curiously. luke had been carring a big bag and went upstairs. Nik and spenser was the last to walk in.

"nice pants sam" he said with a smile. sam made a face at him.

"well i wasn't expecting people today"

"then you don't know the spencers well sam" said laura who set the food on the table. She told lulu to finish and she stood looking into the living room. "lucky get up and hand me my grandchild and help you sister"

sam looked at lucky who looked at her and rolled her eyes getting up and handing alexa to laura.

"well im going to change"

"that would be wise or we will be making fun of you"

"hey, for one i told you i wasn't expecting company and for two the pants were from kristina"

"whatever sam"

sam headed upstairs and passed Luke in the hall who was dressed up as santa. Sam rolled her eyes. as she went into her room. dressing up as santa must run in the family thought sam. Sam had changed into dark denim jeans and a white long sleeves turtleneck. she pulled her hair out of the pony and styled it down. It was curl at the ends and she did her makeup and she looked amazing. Sam went downstairs and noticed that Laura had put up more decorations. she also noticed that luke was only wearing the red suit and taken the rest of it off. She was guessing Alexa had been scared again. Sam was standing down at the bottom of the stairs in the arch way looking at the family that she was a part of now. Laura was on the floor with Alexa in her lap and they were playing with spencer. Luke was digging into the special eggnog he had brought. Lulu, Nik and lucky were watching the tv. Lulu smiled making lucky look over at sam and smiled at her to. Sam smiled back and just stood there. Nikolas gently nudge Lucky to get up and go talk to her. They were all setting Lucky and Sam up for this next one. Lucky walked over to sam.

"you look amazing sam"

he stood next to her.

"i know" she smiled at him. "thanks"

"So are you guys going to kiss or am i goign to have to kiss her" luke said after he took another drink.

"Excuse me?" sam said looking at him and then at the next voice to speak.

"meaning you guys are under the mistletoe and we all know what that means don't we" laura made a face and happy voice to the kids. Sam looked up. She never noticed that it was there. Sam and lucky were looking at each other. Then sam raised her eyebrows as in ok fine lets kiss. Lucky leaned down softly pushing his lips to her. His hand underneath her hair holdin on to her neck. Everyone was watching them. But both sam and lucky seemed to forget that fact. Right then everyone knew that they were ment to be together and all of them were going to make them realize it. All of a sudden there was a little giggle heard in the room breaking the silence and everyone watching Them kiss. Lucky and sam stopped kissing to see who made that giggle when they caught their daughter Alexa looking at them smiling and giggling. Sam smiled up at lucky and he pulled her into a hug. Sams arms went around his back and her head on her chest as they looked at their little girl.

"Thats our cowgirl" laura said. Smiling up at Lucky and sam.
