Quinn was dozing off in her seat next to Melrose's bed. It was a tiring day for sure. Earlier the nurse came in and told her about the hospital fee. Quinn almost threw up cause that was a whole amount of money and she didn't have that. But then she remembered Lucy's paycheck. She could use that, but she needed more. She knew that the Changs would gladly help her but she just couldn't let them.

Quinn almost fell asleep when she heard the tiny sobbing.

"Mommy… it hurts," Melrose wailed.

Quinn opened her eyes immediately and saw her daughter whimpering. "Hey, sweetie. I know. I feel it too. Don't worry. It'll go away soon," she said as she strokes Melrose's head and grabbed the little blonde girl's hand.

"I miss you, Mommy…"

"And I miss you even more," Quinn felt tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry for leaving you for too long. I wanted to see you immediately but something came up…"

"Don't leave me again, Mommy…"

"I won't. I promise," Quinn said as she planted a kiss on Melrose's forehead. "But for sometime, you have to stay with Grandma and Grandpa again, okay? Mommy have something to do and I need to finish it first."

"But you promised…" Melrose pouted.

"I'll come to play with you, sweetie," Quinn said immediately. She didn't like it when she made her daughter upset.

"You will?"

"I will. Just ask Uncle Mike to call me and I'll be there in a flash," she smiled.

"Okay…" the little blonde girl held her mommy hand tight then she yawned. "Mommy, I'm tired."

"Just go to sleep okay, sweetheart. Mommy will be here with you."

"I love you, Mommy."

"I love you too," Quinn said as she kissed Melrose's forehead and let the little girl sleep.

Quinn observed her daughter's face. She got bruises here and there but other than that she looked fine. Quinn was dozing off again when she heard someone opened the door and closed them again quickly.

"Quinn?" It was Mike.

Quinn sleepily answered, "Yeah?"

"You're still awake?" he asked again as he stepped closer to Melrose's bed.

"I was about to sleep though. Why? Is there something wrong?"

"No. But Sam's outside waiting for you."

"What is he doing here? I told him I'm going to stay the night."

"Checking out on his girlfriend?" he teased. "Come on, you need to get out now before he barged in and see the little girl who look exactly like you."

Quinn sighed but finally she stood up from where she sat. "Fine. Look after her for me, Mike?"

"I always do that, you know."


Quinn went outside and saw Sam standing in front of the room. She immediately hugged him and the blonde man wrapped his arms around her.

"You feeling better?" Sam asked after a moment while dropping a kiss on Quinn's head.

Quinn just nodded. She leaned her head on Sam's chest. She was only sitting down almost all day long but she was exhausted. "What are you doing here?" she couldn't help but ask.

"To check on you. I was worried the whole day. I couldn't concentrate."

"You can just call…"

"I want to see you, though."

Quinn was too tired to argue so she just melted herself into his embrace even more. "How's your day?" she asked him.

"Pretty messy. Dad was about to get mad at me for ditching the meeting but when I told him that I went for you, he said it was fine. He said hello to you."

Quinn felt guilty. She pulled away for a while. "I'm sorry I put you into trouble…" she mumbled as she brought her gaze down.

Sam lifted her chin up. "It's okay. He understands," he said as he kissed her lips.

Quinn smiled as she felt his lips on hers. As he broke the kiss, she went to hug him again. She was getting very comfortable in Sam's embrace that she groaned when she felt he pulled away.

Sam chuckled when he heard her groaned but he didn't really let go of her. Instead, he took both of them to the bench and sat there.

"How is she?" he asked when both of them already seated. He felt 'Lucy' leaned her head on his shoulder so he wrapped an arm around her shoulder while he held her hands with his free one.

"You saved her," Quinn said. That was the only thing she could say. She wanted to say that he saved her daughter's life but she couldn't.

"Really?" he asked as he began to stroke her arm.

"You came just in time. The doctor said if you arrived like 5 minutes later, something fatal could happen. But she's fine now."

"Can I see her?"

Quinn was surprised but she was too tired to get panicked. "She's sleeping right now. Besides, she's a bit shy when it comes to new people that she didn't know. She ignored me for like 2 hours before finally she gives in." And yet she had the strength to make another lie.

"If you say so…"

Sam sounded disappointed. Quinn could feel that so she titled her head and dropped a peck on his lips. "Hey, don't pout. You saved her and she knows it. She asked me to say thank you."

"I'm happy to help her. I really do," he smiled.

Quinn leaned her head on his shoulder again and she slowly drifted off to sleep.

"You can go home to take some rest and come again in the morning, you know…" Sam said not realizing that Quinn was already sleeping.

"Lucy?" he called her because he didn't get any respond. He finally turned his head and found the blonde girl already asleep. "Well… we can stay the night here, I guess…" he said as he himself began to drift off to sleep.


Melrose was soundly asleep for a while now. Mike was bored –he love Melrose, he swear- but he knew he was partly to blame for the accident. He would like it if Quinn was there with him but thanks to Sam who decided to show up, he was left alone.

Finally Mike had enough and decided to go out. He opened the door and was greeted by something unexpected.

He saw both Quinn and Sam were sleeping in each other's arm. Sam was holding Quinn protectively and Quinn was leaning herself on Sam comfortably and she looked relax. He also couldn't ignore their intertwined fingers. Not wanting to disturb his sister, who finally could rest, and 'her boyfriend', Mike retreated back to Melrose's room and went to his seat.

Well, Mike was really surprised. He remembered the look on Quinn's face when she first arrived at the hospital. She looked like wrecked. It even went worse when they told her that they needed blood donors for Melrose. When he left to call his family and searched for donors, Quinn was hyperventilating. However, when he came back, Quinn looked more at the ease. She found a donor. And much to his surprised, it was Sam.

Mike found it amazing that Sam could have such huge effect on Quinn. He could calm her down in a way Mike couldn't understand. Quinn was hyperventilating but when Sam came, she was able to recompose herself immediately. She looked so tired when he entered the room earlier and now that she was in Sam's embrace, she looked relax.

Maybe there was something between them? Mike knew they slept together, Quinn told him that. But there was something definitely more. How could that happen, though? Sam and Quinn only met like less than a week ago and they had those feelings already? Did Sam ever love Lucy at the first place? Well, if he did then it was Quinn. Quinn fell for Sam in a very short time.

Things were getting more dangerous and Mike needed to warn Quinn about that. It won't happen now. Right now, Mike knew that Quinn needed Sam to find answers about her family and he would let Quinn do that. But still he needed to remind Quinn as soon as possible.

Mike glanced at the little blonde girl who soundly asleep now.

"You look like your mother so much. I just hope you won't make stupid choices like her," he said.

He then made himself comfortable and drifted off to sleep. Such a long day.
