Thank you all for your kind reviews, follows, and favorites! I'd like to especially thank the anon who sent me a message on tumblr a few days ago. You made my life :) Anyways, onward to the good stuff!
About a half hour later found both girls in their pajamas- Cat sitting on the couch wrapped in a blanket, and Sam in the kitchen making hot chocolate as she promised. Sam finished making her and Cat's hot chocolate, making sure to plop a few little "clouds" into the redhead's mug. She carried the hot chocolate to Cat, and sat on the couch next to her. Sam turned the TV on and found something interesting to change the channel to.
"Owie!" Cat yelled after taking a drink from her mug. Sam turned to the redhead, giving her a questioning look. "It's hot!"
"Yeah, it's hot chocolate," Sam said, sipping some of the hot liquid from her own mug.
"Well, Nona never made it this hot."
"Sam does." A few moments of silence passed before Cat spoke again.
"My tongue hurts," she said. Sam looked at her and sighed before standing up to grab some ice from the freezer. Once she had an ice cube in her hand, she brought it back to the redhead.
"Open your mouth," Sam instructed. Cat did as she was told, and Sam stuck the ice cube in her mouth. "Now keep it there for a little while, and your tongue should feel better."
"Ank ooo, ham."
"You're welcome, kid." Sam laughed.

It was still storming by the time the two girls were getting ready for bed, and Sam could tell Cat was a little nervous. Luckily the lights hadn't gone out because Sam knew how to do a lot of things, but fixing the power was not one of them. She'd most likely end up blowing up the apartment.
Sam lay in her bed, the sound of the storm much more prominent now that it was silent. Cat had insisted on sleeping with every stuffed animal she owned, so every time lightning lit up the room, a mountain of stuffed animals were visible, and it was a little creepy. Sam was just about to drift off when she heard Cat's soft voice in the midst of the storm.
"Sam?" She whispered. Sam debated on ignoring the redhead and pretending she was asleep, but this was Cat.
"Yeah?" Sam answered.
"I'm scared."
"And?" Sam asked even though she was certain she knew what the redhead wanted.
"Um…can I...can I sleep next to you?" Cat asked. Sam didn't answer right away, and Cat continued with what she was saying, but at a much quicker pace. "It's just that when it storms, I get scared and Nona always let me-"
"Cat."
"Sleep next to her because she knew-"
"Cat."
"That I was scared and I'm scared right now, so please."
"Cat," Sam said. "You can share a bed with me."
"Oh thank you thank you thank you thank you." Cat said as she hopped out of her bed and made her way over to Sam's.
"Oh the giraffe," Sam said as she felt Cat scoot right up next to her in the bed. A few minutes passed, and Cat jumped every time there was a clap of thunder. Sam was beginning to wonder if she'd even sleep with the jumpy redhead next to her. After a particularly loud crack of thunder, Cat let out a yelp and grabbed on to Sam's arm. After a moment she let go, but she was still a tad jumpy.
"Uh, Sam?" She said.
"Yes,"
"Can I, um," Cat wrapped her arms around Sam and snuggled closer. "Do this?"
"I'm not a hugger," Sam said, she felt Cat begin to lift her arms. "But, yeah, go ahead." Cat tightened her grip around Sam who closed her eyes and tried to fall asleep.
"Sam?"
"What?" Sam said trying not sound annoyed.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Sam said, smiling warmly. Cat stopped jumping at the thunder, and was the first of the two to fall asleep. Sam could Cat's breaths on her shoulder, but she found their current position surprisingly comfortable and found herself falling asleep in no time.
A/N: So there was a second chapter. This could possibly be extended more, but I'm not making any promises. Before you ask me to write more, just remember that I tend to loose motivation on multi-chapter fics. If you've seen the list of fics on my page, you'd probably know that. I'm puckelltine on tumblr if you want to give me follow (I have to promote myself somehow :P) Have a wonderful *insert day of the week here* :D
