A/N:I'm once again hurt that I only got 5 reviews for the last chapter I thought people would be happy that Jommy got engaged. Hum guess not... ANYWAY. PLZ R&R

Chapter 16 -Narrator - One Month Later - October

Everything in Toronto started to slowly get back to normal.

Jude and Tommy where constantly in the tabloids. Their engagement was announced when they arrived back in Toronto 2 weeks ago.

Sadie and Kwest were still making wedding arrangements. Well Sadie was making the arrangements Kwest just was just agreeing with everything.

Speid came to G-Major 3 days ago flaunting the picture of his newborn baby boy Michael Vincent Speiderman. Everyone ohh'ed and ahh'ed and asked when Karma was coming back. According to him it would be real soon.

Darius was still hounding people.

And Mason found himself a boyfriend. His name was Alexander and he was one of Mason's back up singers during his tour.

Yes. Everything was back to normal.

Well not everything.

Samantha's depression had taken a turn for the worse when she was hospitalized a week ago for malnutrition.

Child protective services were even involved with the matter and threaten to take Natalia and her unborn child away if she kept going in the direction she was headed in.

Scared for her children as well as her self Samantha soon began to eat, drink and take prenatal vitamins. But she was still afraid for her daughters well being so she sent her to stay with her mom for a while until she got better.

It's a week later and Samantha is out of the hospital and ready to go back to work.

She quickly walked around her house as she juggled 3 things at one time. She had her cell phone cradled between her shoulder and her ear, she was trying to put on her shoes and she was searching for her car keys.

3 minutes later Samantha realized her keys were in her pocket.

"Damn it." Samantha yelled into phone.

"What." Jude answered.

"Nothing my keys were in my pocket the whole time."

Jude said nothing but burst into laughter.

"Jude it's not funny... Oh god hold on"

Samantha quickly ran up her steps into the bathroom where she released all her breakfast contents into the toilet.

After she re-brushed her teeth Sam got back on the phone with Jude.

"Morning sickness." Jude asked casually.

"Yeah. How about you. Feeling sick yet." Sam laughed

Sam and Jude found out around the same time that they were both pregnant. But what is even more shocking is that their due date was the same day July 23 2009.

"No actually I haven't had it yet. And I'm not planning on it either. Morning sickness is the worst part about pregnancy."

"Yeah tell me about it. So what did little Tommy Q say when he found out you were having baby Tommy Q?"

"He freaked.. Then cried. Then went out and bought clothes and sneakers."

"Don't you think he's pushing it."

"Yeah but hey it's his first kid so he's excited."

"Your telling me.. So where are you because I'm ready to go to work."

"Right behind you."

Samantha turned around and saw Jude leaning against the bathroom doorway smirking.

"I really have to change the locks on the door." Sam joked as she hugged Jude.

"Lets go Darius is waiting."

"I know, I know."

"Where's Eric."

"He went to New York for a couple of days he said Toronto pissed him off." Sam said with a shrug.

"What ever come on lets go."

Samantha and Jude left the house and got to G-Major 30 minutes later.

Once inside Samantha started getting sympathy glances from everyone there.

"Ugh I so don't need this right now." Sam said as she quickly walked into studio D with Jude close behind her.

"I've been meaning to ask you. Does Eric know your pregnant." Jude asked.

"No he left before I got to tell him and quiet frankly I'm too scared to say anything I mean he'll freak and hate me. And I'm scared I'll end up alone with no one to help raise my children."

"Oh Sam don't forget you've got 2 sisters and 2 soon to be brothers in law, plus your mom and grandfather in New York."

"Psst! Some mother I have." Sam gritted through her teeth.

"What happened now" Jude asked sarcastically.

This is one thing Jude was getting real used to. The constant arguments and disagreements Sam and Lani had every time they spoke. It would be something as little as Sam wearing black nail polish on her nails that would send her mom into this big discussion about blacks not good and all this and that. And it would only egg the fight on when Sam would continue it with her views on the whole thing.

"The other day she told me I need to get off my butt and stop moping around the house. She said Noel's gone and dead and he's not coming back anytime soon so being there depressed about it isn't helping anything. Then when I told her I was pregnant she continued to ridicule me saying that she's surprised I don't know who the father is and I need to stop opening my legs for every guy who tells me he loves me."

Sam stopped as she started to cry.

"I mean I know she's going through a tough time right now. Being that dad's in a coma and never got to sign the divorce papers and she's seeing this guy who keeps pressuring her to find a way to sign them. To top it off she stopped talking to my grandfather and the guy she's with gets angry with her a lot because Natalie takes up her free time so she doesn't have time to be with him. He even took my moms phone the other day and called to threaten me saying I need to get my bratty ass daughter from my moms house and learn how to take care of my responsibilities. That it wasn't my mom who laid down with a dead beat dad and got pregnant. It was me so I need to grow up and raise my daughter."

"Sam why didn't you say any of this sooner?" Jude questioned. Her anger seeped through her while she held Sam as she cried.

"Because this is my problem and you guys are busy planning your dream weddings." Sam sobbed

"SO WHAT!" Jude yelled. "That doesn't mean a damn thing. You should of told us no matter what. What is it you don't trust me enough to tell me something like that. Damn Samantha I thought I was your best friend" Jude continued as she paced the room back and forth in front of Samantha.

"Jude you are my best friend but I thought I could handle this without involving anyone. Well anyone besides Eric. That's why he went back to New York."

Jude stopped and stared at Samantha as she continued to sit there and cry. Finally deciding she had enough Jude stormed out Studio D causing Sam to cry even more.

After 15 minutes Kyle and Speid entered the room and saw Samantha huddled into the corner of the couch with her knees to her chest crying.

"Yo Sammy you alright." Kyle asked.

"Yeah. I just want to record." She replied while she wiped her tears away from her cheeks and got out her notebook and guitar.

"Ok I'll get Tommy." Speid said.

"Thanks Vin."

Speid and Kyle left the studio and went to the lounge where Jude and Tommy looked to be in a deep conversation about none other than what just happened between Sam and Jude.

"Umm sorry to interrupt Tom but Sam wants to record."

"Tell her 5 minutes." Tommy replied obviously angry at what Sam told Jude.

Kyle walked to the kitchenette to make himself a sandwich while Speid walked away with a shrug of his shoulders and went back into studio D where he told Sam about what Tom said and about his attitude.

"Great just what I need. Tommy to be mad at me too. Can you just check if Kwest is available."

Speid nodded quietly as he began to walk out the door only to be pushed back in and then out by an angry Tommy with Jude right behind him.

"SO WHAT WE DON'T MATTER TO YOU. YOU DON'T BOTHER TO INFORM US ABOUT THINGS LIKE THIS. ONLY ERIC AS IF HE IS THE ONLY FAMILY YOU HAVE HERE." Tommy yelled.

Ever since Tommy got engaged to Jude he has been Sam's older brother figure and he truly took that job with pride and very seriously.

"So this is what you do Jude? When I tell you something you don't agree with you call Tommy in to yell at me?" Sam questioned

"Listen like I told Jude before I thought I could handle this by MYSELF I was not going to tell ANYONE about this. The only reason why Eric knew is because he was in the bedroom with me while the bastard was yelling at me over the phone. I don't need this stress right now. Tommy I know your like an older brother to me and Jude you're my flesh and blood but you guys have to understand before I found out about any of you I had no one. The only person I ever truly had was Noel and now he's gone. So I'm not used to having people wanting to protect me every time I turn around. I'm used to taking care of myself. I'm Sorry." Samantha stated as she walked out the room without letting anyone else say any thing to her.

Once again when she walked out into the lounge everyone stared at her and started to whisper.

"STOP IT!!!" she screamed "Stop staring and whispering about me. I know you all are so just stop pretending your not. I get it your all 'sorry for my loss' but no matter how many times any of you say it he's not coming back so please just stop with the looks and stares." Sam said now in a mere whisper.

"That's enough everyone back to work nothing to see here. Sam my office now." Darius stated in a casual yet stern voice.

When Samantha entered his office she had an instant flashback to the last time she was here. The day she had sex with him on that desk right in front of her and also the day she lost Noel.

"Whats wrong." he asked.

"EVERYTHING!" She screamed on the top of her lungs.

"Care to explain a little more quietly."

"I'm over stressed. I just lost my baby's father a month ago, my dad's in a coma, my moms new boyfriend is causing problems between us, Jude and Tommy are angry because of it. Oh yeah and I'm pregnant and I have no idea who the father is. I don't know if its you or Eric." Samantha replied throwing her arms up in frustration.

"What did you just say." Came a very hurt reply from the door.

'Oh god please don't let that be who I think it is.' Sam thought as she stared right into Darius's face.

His face only proved her suspicions as she witnessed him turn as white as a ghost.

Slowly Samantha turned around and came face to face with Eric.

The pain and anger in his eyes was something Samantha had never seen before and it sent chills down her spine.

"Eric" she breathed out as she got up and walked towards him.

"Don't take another step forward. You slept with him. After I confessed my love for you, you turn around and sleep with him. God your such a slut. You constantly yelled at me telling me how you cried your self to sleep for 5 years hoping and wishing I told you I loved you and now that I did you sleep with our boss. Tell me this if you loved me as much as you say you do. Why? Why sleep with him at all when you had the one thing you ever truly wanted. Me. You know what I don't think you ever loved me I think you just had this obsession. You where never in love with me you were in love with the thought of me. And whats really fucked up is that I actually fell for everything you ever told me. I was just a fool to ever admit I loved you. Well you know what I DON'T. I DON'T LOVE YOU NOR DO I LOVE NATALIE OR THAT KID THAT'S GROWING INSIDE OF YOU. NO THAT'S IT I'M DONE. DON'T CALL ME, DON'T CRY TO ME, DON'T SAY ANYTHING JUST LEAVE TAKE YOU AND YOUR BASTARD CHILDREN AND STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME." Eric yelled as he stormed out of Darius's doorway.

The pain of his words really took a toll on Samantha as she collapsed on the floor and cried.

No I can't just let him leave I love him. She thought as she got up and ran out the room catching Eric by the arm and turning him around towards her.

Feeling so angry and betrayed by her Eric snatched his arm away form her and glared daggers right into her heart.

"Eric please listen to me I love you you're my world you can't possibly think I don't love you." Sam cried.

"THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I THINK. I DON'T LOVE YOU OR NATALIE NOR THAT BABY INSIDE OF YOU. NOW LIKE I SAID GET OUT OF MY FACE BEFORE I DO SOMETHING I'LL REGRET." Eric spat. He quickly turned on his heel and stormed out of G-Major leaving a very broken Sam in the middle of the lounge crying.

Jude, Sadie, Tommy and Kwest all rushed towards after they saw what happened. Each of them tried their best to clam her down but nothing seemed to work. Eventually everyone gave up and left Sam on the couch alone.

Finally, Samantha had enough. She had enough of being famous, enough pain and heartache, enough of G-Major, enough of everything.

She decided it was time. Time she finally went home back to New York.

She got off the couch and walked towards studio D where she knew her 'family' would be at.

She walked into the room and everyone turned and stared at her. She made her way to her bag picked up her notebook and the guitar Jude gave her and then walked back to the door.

"I'm leaving." she said quietly. "I've had enough and I'm going home. To the place where I belong. I'm giving all this up, going back to New York and starting all over again. This time without anything or anyone to help me. I'll come back for you guys weddings and I'll come back for the holidays but other than that. I can't. I'm sorry. I love all you guys. And I'll miss each and everyone of you. Especially you Jude." Samantha opened the door walked out and closed it gently behind her. Not even giving anyone time to reply to what she said.

She wiped her tears from her eyes and made her way to Darius's office.

"So this is what you do huh?" She heard Jude cry from the doorway of Studio D. "When things don't go your way you run. Running away never solves anything Sam. You know it and I know it. You can't always run away. One day your problems are going to catch up to you and when they do I hope your ready to face them. But if you want to leave I'm not going to stop you. I love you and I'll miss you." she whispered when she reached Samantha.

Jude and Samantha shared a long tearful hug and placed their hands on each others belly's and smiled.

"Send me an invite to the shower." they said at the same time causing them to smile.

"I will. I'm gonna miss you little sister." Sam cried

"I'm gonna miss you too big sister." Jude replied as the rest of the family came over and hugged Samantha.

"Now to tell Darius I'm leaving." She said as she turned away from them and opened Darius's door.

"Darius. I'm leaving and I'm not coming back. It was a pleasure working for you. I hope you understand. No hard feelings. Now I have to leave and pack. I'm sorry for this." Samantha said casually as she closed his door and started to walk away with her family closely behind her.

5 seconds later Darius's door banged open and he started to yell causing Samantha and the rest of them to turn around.

"YOU CAN NOT JUST WALK OUT OF HERE YOU HAVE A CONTRACT."

"I can and I will there is nothing you can do to stop me." She told him as they all turned back around and started to walk towards the exit again.

"SAMANTHA DIANA MORALES IF YOU WALK OUT THAT DOOR I WILL SUE YOU FOR CUSTODY OF MY CHILD." Darius yelled after her causing her to stop dead in her tracks.

She turned around quickly and walked straight into his face.

"Let's see how you'll gain custody of an aborted child." She spat.

Quickly turning on her heel Samantha walked out of G-Major for the last time with out ever looking back.
