Okay, so this is definitely going to be the last chapter. I hope that you have liked it so far and will like the ending to it too.
Disclaimer: I do not own General Hospital or any of the characters except for John Eckhart. (Obviously, that is a stupid name that only I could come up with.)
Chapter 5
No More
"Sam, we need to talk."
Sam narrowed her eyes, "Talk about what, Lucky?"
"The fact that you attract any and all danger that is within a ten
mile radius of you."
Sam scoffed and got an angry look on her
face, "It is not like I do it on purpose Lucky, not that I really
have a choice in the matter. I mean God, we saved people today and
nobody had to die in order for us to do it."
"I am not yelling
at you Sam. I'm sorry, I started off the entire conversation wrong. I
am just stating the facts and I am saying that I accept you for who
you are. I know that you do not do it on purpose. I am trying to say
that I worry about you and I would like to know if you have any
suggestions as to what we could do to at least attempt to keep you
out of trouble."
"Okay, listen, I have been thinking kind of the same thing. Kind
of. I have decided that if we ever have another situation like this
one, we are going to think it through more and the next time, no one
is going to get shot."
"Next time? Oh no, No more next times.
You are right about the fact that we are going to talk a hell of a
lot more strategy before we make our moves in any situation. The
other thing that we are going to do is say to hell with what Mac
wants when he sends us in."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean
that I don't give a shit if he wants us to keep quiet about a
situation, if it is too dangerous, we call for backup and tell the
whole damn world if we have to."
Sam smiled again and agreed. She had thought that Lucky was going to
tell her that he did not want her to be a cop anymore. Then they
would have gotten into another fight and she knew that it would have
ended up with the two of them breaking up. And she would have. Even
though they had broken up often, she would do it again because she
could not force herself to be with someone who did not support the
decisions that she made. She realized that she had been caught up in
her thoughts for quite some time when Lucky pulled her out of them.
"Sam?"
"Huh? Oh, what?"
Lucky laughed "I said that I had a really important thing to
discuss with you and noticed that you were a little
preoccupied."
"Sorry. What do you have to discuss with
me?"
"Well, I have actually been thinking about this since
that first case that you had when you had just become a PI. I was
thinking that that was one of the very few times that you had been
over to my place because usually we go to yours. I was also thinking
about how nice it was when you were sleeping in my bed and would like
you to do it again."
"So you want me to stay over at your
place?" Sam laughed, "Lucky that is not something that you need
to worry about, all you have to do is ask."
"No, Sam, that is
not what I mean. I...well....I mean yeah that is what I meant but yet
it isn't. I want you to stay over, but not for the night. For
forever."
It took a moment for it to sink in to Samantha's brain
and then it all clicked and a small smile played upon her lips.
"Lucky, are you asking me to move in?"
Lucky let out a sigh,
"Yes, that is what I am asking you. So what do you say?"
"I
say, are you sure that this is what you want Lucky?"
"I would
not ask if I was not sure Sam, you know that."
Sam looked down
at her hands which were playing with the sheets that were covering
her, but stopped when Lucky put his hands over hers and looked up at
him
"Why would you think that I was not sure?"
"Because, I am
afraid of what may happen if we break up."
"Well, I know that
I am not planning on breaking up with you, are you planning on ending
it with me?"
"No, of course not, I am just saying, what if it happens sometime
in the future?"
"Sam, I am in this with you for the long haul
and there is nothing in this whole world that could make me change my
mind about that. I hope that you feel the same way."
"I do. I
guess that I am just scared."
"There is nothing for you to be
scared of, I am right here with you and I always will be. I don't
want you to ever be scared about talking things over with me. I will
always try to understand where you are coming from and help you out.
So what do you say? Will you take that next big step and agree to
move in with me?"
Sam thought about it for a moment and then
nodded her head and a slow smile spread a cross her lips. "Yes, I
will move in with you."
Lucky grinned at her and pulled her into his arms. The two of them
split apart when Elizabeth walked into the room. "Hey, guys, I just
wanted to say thank you for what the two of you did in there. You
saved our lives."
"Are you alright Liz?" Lucky asked her
concernedly.
She smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah, I just heard
about what happened to Sam and wanted to make sure that she was all
right."
Sam nodded her head and checked Liz over with her eyes. "Yeah, I'm
fine. It is gonna take a hell of a lot more than one crazy asshole to
take me down. How is your arm?"
Liz laughed, "I was just
grazed, lucky compared to you."
Sam nodded her head. She knew
that she was acting strange, but it was because she was not sure how
Liz would feel when she found out that Sam and Lucky were going to be
living together in her and Lucky's old home. She did not have to wait
long to find out though, because Lucky decided to tell her right off.
"Liz, I want to share the happy news with you. Sam is moving in
with me."
Liz's eyes widened and then she smiled, "I'm really
happy for the two of you and Sam I am glad that you are alright."
Lucky nodded his thanks and watched as Liz left and then he turned
back to Sam and he smiled at her. His smile slowly faded away as he
saw the expression that Sam now had on her face and narrowed his eyes
at her. "What is going through that mind of yours McCall?"
"There
is something up with her, and I don't think it's good."
"What
do you mean?"
"I don't know, but I do mean to find out."
Lucky chuckled and
shook his head at her, "Oh, Sam. PI McCall is at it again I guess
then huh?"
Sam shook her head and looked at him seriously. "No, Lucky.
Detective Samantha McCall of the PCPD is at it again. And this is one
mystery that I am definitely going to solve."
No matter what
it takes or what I have to do. Sam silently added.
