Chapter 6

*Sam*

Sam heads back to the lake house to pick up Danny. When she gets there she finds Shawn there playing with him. "Hey Shawn, where did my mom go?" Sam asks. "She went to go get Molly and T.J even though Molly told her not to." "Why?" "They wanted to walk to Kelly's together and she was going to help T.J bus tables but I guess Alexis didn't listen. So Danny and I have been playing. I'm training him to be a marine." Shawn says as Danny crawls to Sam. "Really? Like my son isn't going to be influenced enough. Spinelli said that he was going to teach him to how to be an internet hacker and Rafe said that he was going to teach him how to live off the land when he gets old enough." Sam laughs. "Wow…speaking of, where is Rafe?" Shawn asks. He didn't care too much for Rafe, mainly because of T.J, but for Alexis' sake he didn't voice it. "Oh Silas is picking him up." Sam says. "Hmmmm…you and him have become pretty chummy lately." "He's my friend." Sam says quickly hoping he wouldn't notice her blushing. "Friends don't act like the two of ya'll do." Shawn says as Alexis, Molly and T.J walk in.

"Hey Sam! How was your date with Silas?" Alexis exclaims as everybody looks at her. "MOM!" Sam yells as even Danny looks at her. "You went out with Dr. Clay?" Molly questions. "It wasn't a date. It was a lunch get together." Sam says trying to hide her embarrassment. "Then why are you dressed like that?" "What a girl can't dress up to go out somewhere?" "Sam….it's the purple dress that you said was only going to be worn on special occasions." Molly says as Sam glares at her. "Molly, I think we need to leave Sam alone and start our homework. If it was a date, which we all know it was, she was tell us." "I'll go help." Shawn and T.J both say as they push Molly out the room.

"You know she's probably texting Rafe right now." Alexis says as she sits beside Sam. "He should already know but I doubt it." Sam says as she sits Danny down with his toys. "So…details…" "Mom it was wonderful. We had lunch at the Metro Court. He rented out the balcony and it was just us. It felt nice." Sam says smiling. "Wow he pulled out the red carpet, didn't he?" Alexis asks. "I know. He even bought me pink roses instead of red. He said red were cliché." Sam says. "Damn I should of thought of that." Shawn says from behind the wall. Alexis and Sam laugh. "Well being that I am a district attorney, I can have some people arrested for espionage." Alexis yells as they hear footsteps running back down the hall. "Anyways, was it what you were expecting?" "I guess. I still don't know much about him. I thought I was going to at least find out something about him. You know, how he was as a child, maybe how he was with his brother, before it all went wrong." Sam says. "Well you know Silas. He doesn't seem like the show and tell type of person. Even with a huge ego as his." Alexis says. "I almost had it mom. He almost started to tell me but he had to go pick up Rafe." Sam says defeated. "Awww don't worry Sam. He'll come around. At least you are making progress by even being seen out in public besides the hospital." Alexis says as she hugs Sam. She sighs and says "I sure hope so mom."

*Silas*

Silas has made it to PCH to pick up Rafe. "Hey Uncle Silas!" "Hey kiddo how was your day?" "Pretty good. Public school is not as bad as thought it was be." Rafe says as they drive off. "I told you it wouldn't be that bad." "Granted I still got people calling me vamp kid." "Eh, there is always going to be assholes in the world. Trust me, I am one." Silas laughs. "Awww your not that bad Uncle Si." Rafe says as Silas just stares off. "Oh god it's started and he doesn't even know it." Silas thinks to himself.

So what have you done today, I mean besides taking care of your patients." "Well… I went to the Metro Court to have lunch." "By yourself?" Rafe asks. "You can't have lunch by yourself these days?" "Not at the Metro Court. A place like that someone needs company." Rafe says as they pull up to Silas' house. "Well I wanted to have lunch from there, so I went. No big deal." Silas says as they walk in. Rafe drops his stuff and sits down as Silas goes into the kitchen to get some glasses of soda. He manages to get one glass poured before Rafe comes barreling into the kitchen. "YOU HAD LUNCH WITH SAM?!" "The hell? Rafe what are you talking about?" Silas asks as he tries to regains his composure. "You didn't have lunch by yourself. You had a date with Sam!" Rafe yells as he shows him his phone. "OMG! Ur uncle and my sis went out-Molly. Really Molly?" Silas says as he walks into the living room.

"You had a date with Samantha Morgan and you weren't going to tell me? Your own nephew? I'm offended." "It wouldn't be the first time." Silas says deflecting the question. "Seriously? You're going to ignore me. Wow my legal guardians are dating." Rafe says smiling. "It was a lunch date. Not the end of the world." "So it was a date! I knew it!" Rafe says opening his bookbag. All Silas could was look at him. "God, you're just like your father." Silas thinks to himself. "So how was it?" "It was…nice." Silas says. "Nice. Just nice. That's it?" "What do you want me to say? It was everything and I can die happy?" Silas says sarcastically. "Ha ha. But I've seen how you look at her. Like she is a goddess from the heavens. So today would have been a dream come true for you." Rafe says. "Since when you become such a romantic?" Silas laughs. "You're switching the subject…not good." "(Groans)Ok kid, I give up. Today for the first in forever I was genuinely happy. Sam is amazing. She's different than most girls I have dated." "You're smiling. Sam has done the impossible." Rafe says starting his homework. "You got jokes. But she was so beautiful. I mean she's gorgeous everyday but today, she was breathtaking." Silas says dazing off. "Wow, sounds like you've fallen for her. Why do you just make it official?" "No…I can't." Silas says. "Why not?" "I don't want to hurt her…or myself." "How would you hurt yourself?" Rafe asks as Silas looks at him. "Just…let it go." Silas says as he starts helping him with his homework.

Author Moment: This is totally non-story related but I got this great idea for a Sonny/Ava/Morgan one-shot. Would anybody be interested in it?-Sheri
