Chapter 49
The next morning Amanda was just waking up when she saw sam sitting next to her bed in a chair,sleeping,so she gently woke him up;"Sam…?"
"What?"asked he confused as he woke up and saw his wife's worried face;"Amanda?"
"You aren't suppose to get out of bed,sam!"warned his wife him;"What are you doing here?"
"I…."started sam hesitating;'I had to see you and make sure that you're okay,Amanda."
"Didn't Jamie already tell you that I was okay?"asked she surprised;"He told you,didn't he?"
"Yes,but I have to see that for myself."answered her husband;"Besides,I missed you too."
"Why did you drive off like that,sam?"began Amanda softly;"Did you have any idea how worried I was after you left?"
"I just wasn't thinking clear anymore,Amanda,I thought that it didn't matter anymore."said he tired while he tried to ignore his headache,which was getting worse;"You didn't love me anymore and my brother was dead,so it just didn't seem to matter anymore."
"How could you have thought for just one second that it didn't matter anymore?"asked his wife angry;"What about me or our baby?"
"But you said that you never wanted to see me again and I thought that you hated me,Amanda!"
"I was angry,sam,but that doesn't mean that I didn't love you anymore!"anwered she;"I'm still angry at you for what you did,but maybe we can get past that."
"I…."began sam when the room started spinning infront of his eyes;"I…"
"Are you okay?"said his wife worried and pressed the nursesbutton when she realized that he wasn't doing so well,while she grabbed his hand with her other hand;"Can you hear me,sam?"
At aaron's hotelroom aaron was getting ready to see m.j. at the hospital when adam showed up;"What are you doing here?"
"I came to talk to you!"answered he and walked into the room;"About m.j."
"Why do you think that I would want to talk to you about m.j. after what you did?"asked aaron angry;"Just go away!"
"No,not untill you hear me out first,aaron!"began adam hesitating;"Do you have any idea how upset m.j. was yesterday and that she tried to follow you into the hallway after you left?"
"What happened?"said he;"She didn't hurt herself,did she?"
"She could have if Jamie hadn't shown up and caught her just in time before she passed out."
"Maybe I shouldn't have left m.j. like that at the hospital,but I wouldn't have if you hadn't slept with my girlfriend and stole her from me,adam!"
"M.j. was never yours to begin with,aaron,she has always been mine from the first day that we met."answered he;"I have been trying to ignore that for over two years now,but that day at my house when m.j. came to talk to me about justin again I realized that we belong together."
"Did you come here to tell me that?"asked aaron as he tried to stay calm and not attack adam again;"I don't need to hear that!"
"No,I came here to ask you to talk to m.j. and to forgive her for hurting you because this has really upset her and she doesn't need that after everything that she's been through!"said adam;"She even wanted to get out of bed lastnight,aaron,but I stopped her and made her promise that she wouldn't get out of bed again untill Jamie told her that it was okay."
"I don't want to put m.j. through anymore pain,adam,so I will go and talk to her at the hospital to tell her that it's okay."started he slowly;"I guess that I have always known that she'd go back to you if you would ask her to because she's always been honest with her feelings for you and she has never stopped loving you."
"Thanks,aaron."answered adam;"I know that this will mean a lot to her,because she does care a lot about you and she didn't want to hurt you."
"I know."said aaron with a faint smile;"I'm just sorry that she doesn't love me like the way that she loves you,adam."
"Well,I love her as much as she loves me."started he softly;"I'm going to make her happy this time."
"You'd better!"warned aaron him;"If you ever make her unhappy again I will come back from new York and you will have to answer to me!"
In the honeymoonsuite at tops shane was laying next to Nicole in the kingsize bed,watching her,when she woke up;"Goodmorning,baby."
"Goodmorning."smiled his girlfriend;"How long have you been laying there,shane,watching me?"
"For a little while."answered he;"I love watching you while you're sleeping."
"Is that something that I should worry about?"asked Nicole teasing and lay down on top of him;"Lastnight was great,shane,after a bad start it turned out to be the most special night of my life."
"I know."laughed her boyfriend as he kissed her;"Are you glad that I followed you to your sister's house,Nicole?"
"Ofcourse I am."started she softly;"I'm sorry about not telling you about being pregnant before and about almost messing up our special night."
"Stop apologizing,Nicole,all that matters is that it turned out just fine and we're engaged now."smiled shane and kissed her again while he put his arms around her waist;"We haven't set a date yet."
"No,we were pretty busy with other things lastnight."laughed his girlfriend;"Do you want to set a date now,shane?"
"Maybe later."whispered he into her ear as he pulled the covers over their heads;"We can stay here untill eleven,so let's make the most of it."
At the hospital Amanda was waiting for her brother to return to tell her about sam,who'd passed out in her room and had been taken back to his own room,when Jamie walked in;"How is he?"
"Sam's going to be just fine."said her brother as he sat down next to her bed on a chair;"As long as he doesn't do something as stupid like this again."
"I was just as surprised as you were when I woke up and saw him sitting next to my bed."started Amanda irritated;"Who knows how long he had been sitting there,Jamie."
"The guy is crazy about you,Amanda."laughed he;"Sam is so much in love with you that he's stupid enough to risk his health to be with you."
"I told him that I was still angry at him for what happened,but that maybe we could get past this."answered his sister softly;"I really do love him too,Jamie."
"I know you do."said Jamie;"You both love eachother and as soon as the two of you can get out of here you can work through this,amanda."
"Do you think that we can really get passed this?"asked she worried;"I really want to,Jamie,but I keep thinking about what he did."
"Just give it some time."answered her brother;"Ofcourse it's still on your mind right now,Amanda,but in time the memory of what he did will fade and you two will get past this."
"I hope so."said Amanda with a faint smile;"Because I don't want to lose sam."
It was just before noon when aaron walked into m.j.'s hospitalroom;"Hello,m.j."
"I'm so glad to see you."said she surprised;"I'm sorry about yesterday and I never wanted to hurt you in any way."
"I know and I shouldn't have walked away like that."started aaron slowly;"You've always been honest with me about how you felt about adam and I knew from the very first day that if he were to ask you back again that you would go to him without a doubt,so it wasn't really fair of me to get angry at you."
"You had every right to get angry with me,aaron,because I shouldn't have slept with him before I had a chance to talk to you about me wanting to get back together again with him."answered m.j. softly;"I want you to know that when I got back to baycity I didn't intend to make up with adam and neither did he,aaron,it took us both by surprise."
"Yes,I know."said he;"Adam told me."
"He told you?"asked m.j. confused;"When?"
"This morning when he showed up at my hotelroom to tell me that I shouldn't be mad at you and that you didn't mean to hurt me."
"Did adam really do that,aaron,did he really go up to your room to say all those things?"
"I guess that he really does love you."smiled aaron sadly;"I wish that I could tell you that you're making a big mistake by going back to him and that he doesn't love you,but I would be lying to you if I did that,m.j."
"I know that adam isn't perfect and that we have had our problems before,but I know that he loves me a lot and I also love him."answered she softly;"If I don't go back to him to see where it leads us then I might regret that for the rest of my life."
At mary's place Emily was helping ben out when she saw her brother coming in;"Oh,no!"
"I knew that he was lying!"said frank to her;"I knew that he was hiding you downhere!"
"Ben wasn't hiding me here at all and he didn't lie to you,because when you came here last time he really didn't know where I was."answered his sister irritated;"I didn't show up here untill the next day."
"Then he should have called us!"said Edwin while he turned towards ben;"Didn't I tell you to call us if Emily showed up here,ben?"
"Yes,you did."started he slowly;"But that doesn't mean that I have to do what you guys tell me to do!"
"Why can't you just leave us alone?"asked his girlfriend softly as she put her arm around ben's waist;"I love ben and I want to be with him!"
"We can't let you mess up your life with such a loser!"answered George;"Come on,Emily,he can never give you the life that you're used to!"
"But I don't care about that,because we love eachother and that's all that matters!"said she;"The fact that he loves me is more important to me then money!"
"What are you all doing here again?"asked jake irritated as he came out of the kitchen and saw emily's brothers again;"Didn't you go back to where you came from or something?"
"We came here to take Emily home with us and we're not leaving without her!"said George a bit angry;"We're not going to leave her here with this loser!"
"I would watch my mouth if I were you!"warned ben him as he got angry too;"Emily is staying here with me!"
"No,she isn't!"said his girlfriend's other brother and wanted to grab ben by his shirt;"She's coming home with us!"
"I'm staying here with ben!"answered Emily as she got infront of ben;"I'm pregnant with his baby!"
"You're what?"asked Edward shocked;"Did you get yourself knocked up by him?"
"Yes,I'm pregnant with ben's baby and we're happy about it."smiled his sister as she kissed ben;"This is where I belong!"
"Fine,emily,then stay here!"said her oldest brother still in shock as he pulled his brothers with him towards the door;"I will tell our parents about your decision!"
