Letting Go Chapter 4
"Sam! I need you now!" A voice called through the dark house.
"Why is she here so early?" Sam asked as she sat up in bed. The person next to her just rolled over and pulled the pillow over his head.
"Sam, if you are not downstairs in ten minutes I am going to call Jason and tell him what happened to his motorcycle." The voice called out again.
"Ignore her and she will go away." Jason mumbled as he tried to pull Sam back to him.
"Has that ever really worked?" Sam asked as she quickly got up and pulled on Jason's shirt before heading out of the room.
"Carly, it is seven in the morning." Sam whined as she walked down the stairs.
"What the hell did you do?" Carly yelled as soon as she saw Sam.
"What are you talking about?"
"How could you do that to Jason? I mean I know he kinda went crazy sleeping with the home wrecking slut and all but he is sane again. He is trying to make it work between you guys and know you are sleeping with someone. Who is it? I swear if it is Lucky, I am killing you both."
"Carly, what are you talking about?"
"You have that stupid smile on your face, your hair is a mess and you are glowing." Carly yelled.
"Is it really necessary to yell at this hour?" Jason asked as he joined the two.
"Oh my God! You two made up." Carly said as she smiled and pulled Sam into a hug.
"Carly, is there a reason you just let yourself in this morning?" Jason asked as he wrapped his arms around Sam.
"Oh right, I just wanted to let you know the psycho nurse is back roaming the streets. I had the luck of running into her at Kelly's."
"She's out?" Sam asked a little shocked.
"I told you she was faking this little breakdown, she only did this so she wouldn't look like the whore she is. I do have to say checking into Shadybrooke was the icing on the cake. It makes everyone feel sorry for me and she gets to keep her halo." Carly added as she crossed her arms, "Please tell me you believe everything Sam and I have been saying." Carly added looking Jason in the eye.
"Oh believe me he does or he wouldn't be here right now. She drugged him."
"What?"
"All Jason remembers from that night is having one beer and than waking up next to her."
"He couldn't have just said that from the beginning and saved you all this heartbreak."
"I am standing right here." Jason replied.
"And you could have opened your mouth sooner." Carly snapped.
"It's my fault I never really wanted to talk about it." Sam defended.
"So we just have to prove it than." Carly replied.
"How are you going to-do that?" Sam asked.
"Leave it to me." Carly called as she headed toward the front door, "You are still coming over tonight for dinner right?" Carly asked quickly turning around.
"Yeah, wouldn't miss is." Sam smiled as the blond left.
"Do we really have to go?"
"You don't, Lila and I go to Sonny's every Thursday for dinner."
"I know it's almost as fun as your family's Monday night dinners." Jason smirked, "I am gonna jump in the shower and head to work. What are your plans?"
"I am dropping Lila off with Emily and than heading to the office." Sam smiled as Jason gave her a quick kiss,"Last night was nice." Sam sighed as he pulled away.
"I have missed you."
"Well, I'm not going anywhere this time."
"By the way, we will be having a little talk about my motorcycle when I get home." Jason called as he headed back upstairs.
"Why are you so happy?" Alexis asked as she poured herself some more coffee.
"This Christmas dinner." Mac smiled as he finished his eggs.
"What about it?"
"Daddy is just happy that Jason is not coming." Molly replied as she packed her bag.
"He is also hoping that Patrick gets called into the hospital." Kristina added.
"Is it too much to just want to spent Christmas with my girls?" Mac asked as he laid the paper down.
"Hun, you need to get used to the idea that our girls are growing up." Alexis sighed as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh gross." Kristina replied as she looked up from her phone.
"How do you think you were made." Maxie laughed as she grabbed a cup of coffee, "Mom, Matt is coming to Christmas dinner."
"Oh thanks for letting me know two days before." Alexis said sarcastically.
"It's not like you cook any of it." Kristina added.
"Aren't you late for school." Alexis snapped as she watched her two youngest grab their bags and head toward the door.
"Matt as in the doctor."
"Yes, Dad."
"I thought you and he were just friends."
"We are, it's just that he has no where to go, since Patrick is coming here."
"Patrick is his brother?"
"Yeah, but we are just friends like Lucky and Sam."
"Well in that case he is more that welcome."
"Really, you are buying that?" Alexis added.
"Buying what? I am glad that Maxie is making friends."
"Mom, if you don't want a repeat of last year I would stop." Maxie warned.
"I don't have time for this. I love you all, but I am going to be late." Alexis called as she grabbed her coffee and headed toward the door.
"Shouldn't you be going to work too?"
"I called in sick, I still have to buy your mother a Christmas present."
"Way to wait till the last minute."
"Since you don't have anything better to-do you are going to help me." Mac smirked after seeing his daughter's reaction.
"Abby?" Sam asked as she headed to Kelly's in hopes of getting some brownies, when she noticed a blond women struggling with her luggage.
"Sam, it's good to see you." Abby replied with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Sam asked as she looked at the bag the blond was carrying.
"I am staying here."
"Is something wrong?" Sam asked as the two walked into the dinner.
"Actually the opposite, I quit." Abby said as she took a seat. Sam had first met Abby a few months ago, when she was working a case. She and the blond had instantly become friends, Sam had known that Abby was having a tough time and was dancing so she could pay for school. "I thought I would stay here till I figure everything out and find a job."
"No." Was all that Sam said.
"What?"
"I mean I am not letting you stay here, when I have more than enough room for you at my house." Sam replied, "You have been such a big help on the past couple of cases."
"Sam, I don't want to put you out.
"It's no problem and if it makes you feel better I could use your help. If you can handle three toddlers, somehow I always end up with them. You can stay at the house and watch them when you don't have class." Sam smiled as she placed her order to waitress.
"I guess." Abby replied a little unsure.
"Great, but you have to agree to let me pay you for your help."
"Sam, you are going to let me stay with you, that is more than enough."
"You better listen to her, Sam is not one to give up." A voice called from behind the two.
"Micheal." Sam smiled at her nephew, "This is Abby."
"We already know each other."
"Oh really?" Sam said with a smile.
"Yeah, we met at the pier and just started talking. Micheal is a great listener."
"Oh, so this is the girl from the pier." Sam said with a small smile.
"Aunt Sam, don't you have somewhere to be."
"No, but I'll take the hint. Micheal, when you two are done can you help Abby bring her things to my house." Sam asked as she stood and grabbed her food.
"Sure." Micheal smiled as he took the seat next to Abby.
"Aunt Emily took Spencer, Cam and I to see Santa. It was so fun. I got to tell him what I wanted." Lila smiled from the backseat.
"What did you ask for?" Sam asked as she turned to see her daughter.
"Disney Princess Barbie dolls and a puppy."
"Well, I'm sure Santa is going to try really hard." Sam smiled as she glanced to Jason who was driving and than back at her daughter who was watching Beauty and the Beast..
"You know I ran into Micheal today." Jason replied as he pulled into the driveway.
"Really?"
"Yeah, he mentioned about helping some girl move into the house."
"Oh Abby, I was going to tell you about that. She needed a place to stay and she has had a really hard life. You have met her, she is a sweetheart."
"What is it with you and strays? First Lulu and now Abby." Jason asked with a smirk.
"You are one to talk, Carly, Micheal and than Spinelli." Sam replied as she opened the door and pick Lila up.
"Sonny, they are going to be here soon." Carly yelled from the living room.
"I am coming women, but I am not putting the beard on."
"You can not be Santa, if you don't have a beard."
"Carly, I swear."
"Not in front of the children." Carly smiled as she looked to the two sitting on the couch.
"Aunt Carly!" Lila yelled as she ran through the door and into her aunt's arms.
"What about me?" Sonny asked, causing the little girl to go running into his arms.
"Sam, Jason we are so glad you could come." Carly smiled as she hugged each of them.
"Really you knew we were coming, showing up at our house a seven."
"I am glad I did, I was the first one to know you are back together." Carly replied.
"You were up that early?" Sonny asked a little shocked.
"Oh my God." Sam laughed seeing Sonny dressed like Santa.
"How the heck did you manage that?" Jason asked a little shocked.
"Carly is my slave for two months." Sonny replied with a smirk.
"The only think I ask is no more little surprises." Carly said as she looked at the little blond girl playing with Lila, "Three is more than enough."
"I am glad you two are back together." Sonny smiled as he pulled Sam into a hug.
"Me too."
"So, I found out the girl that Micheal is after." Sam said to Carly as they sat down.
"Really, I know you are not going to give me a name, but is she good for him?" Carly asked, the last time Carly learned about a girl Micheal was going to ask out, she ended up scaring her away.
"Yeah, I think they are good for each other." Sam smiled as she watched Micheal and Morgan playing video games and Maddie and Lila playing with their new dolls.
"I'm just glad that he is opening up to someone."
"I want to toast to family and friends." Sonny replied as he and Jason handed out drinks.
"No eggnog for you?" Carly asked.
"Nope." Sam said with a small smile.
"To new beginnings." Carly called as she held up her drink and smiled as Sam.
Sam just held up her glass and gave a small smile to Jason, who was watching her. Sam couldn't express how happy she was, now that here and Jason were back together. "To surviving the holidays with crazy family members."
"Oh yeah, good luck Jase, you have the Quartermaines and the Scorpios to deal with tomorrow."
"Best is they don't know Jason is coming." Sam laughed as she leaned on Carly.
"If it means I can be with you, a couple hours with our crazy families is a small price." Jason replied as he sat next to Sam and gave her a kiss.
