"Okay Kathleen. I'll see you in a while. Bye."

As Sam entered the kitchen she was greeted by these words. Turning her head so her Dad wouldn't see her she made a face and went to the cupboard to get a glass out of the refrigerator. She sat down at the table and poured herself a glass of O.J. As he hung up the phone and turned to look at her she noticed with disdain and disgust that he had a happy smile on his face.

Tony was indeed happy. After all the time being confused about whether or not he should move in with Kathleen he now knew what the right choice was. Deep down he had always known. He had just been to scared. Just like he had also been to scared to admit that he loved Angela. How could he have denied it for so long? She was everything to him. The visions that Marie had shown him had been a wake up call. Of course there wasn't a 1oo% guarantee that what he had seen in the future would actually come true. The only thing that mattered was getting Angela back and telling her that he loved her. He just hoped it wasn't to late. Shaking himself out of his thoughts he greeted his daughter.

"Morning Sweetheart." Tony said smiling.

"Morning Dad." she returned sullenly

"Sam? Honey are you okay?"

"Just great Dad." she replied. But it was obvious to Tony that she was upset.

"Sam you seem upset. Is anything the matter?"

"What could be the matter Dad? I just heard you on the phone telling Kathleen that you would be seeing her in a while. You have this goofy grin on your face. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what is going on."

"What do you think is going on?"

"You're going to tell Kathleen that you are going to move in with her." she said taking a drink of her orange juice.

"Well actually..."

"I can't believe you Dad!!" she interrupted him. "How can you do this to us? How can you do this to Angela?'

"Sam.."

"I hope you're not expecting me to be happy about this."

"Sam, I...."

"I gotta go. Have a nice move." she snapped and left the kitchen.

He wanted to go after her but he had to talk to Kathleen first. He knew that before he asked Angela for another chance and before he told her he loved her he had to talk to Kathleen first. He had to break things off with her so he could be with Angela. He didn't want any hangups from the past or any horrible mistakes that he had made to cloud any chance he might have with Angela. He wanted to be free to be with Angela. After everything that he had put her through and after everything she had had to endure these last few months-years she deserved nothing less than for him to give her his whole heart.

Sighing heavily he grabbed his keys and went out the back door.

Sam was angry. She couldn't believe that he was actually going to go through with it. She grabbed the pillows off the couch and threw them to the floor in frustration.

"Sam? Honey? What's wrong?"

She looked up and saw Angela at the bottom of the stairs looking at her with concern.

"I'm fine."

"No, you're not." Angela replied crossing over to her. "Come on sit down."

They sat down on the couch in silence.

"Ummm Sam. I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."

"I can't tell you Angela." How could she tell her? This was going to crush her.

"You can tell me anything. You know that."

"This I can't."

"Did you have a fight with Matt?"

"No."

"Is school okay?"

"Yeah."

"Did you have a falling out with Bonnie?"

"No."

"Did Jonathon do something to embarrass you?" she chuckled.

"No."

"Sam..."

"I just can't believe him." Sam said angrily.

"Who?"

"Umm nobody." Sam said sadly.

"Sam obviously something is bothering you. I want to help you. I just don't understand why you won't let me."

"Because I don't want you to be hurt."

"Why would I be hurt?"

"It's about Dad."

"Oh, did you have a fight?"

"Sort of."

"Okay, why don't you start at the beginning."

"I overheard Dad on the phone. He was talking to Kathleen."

"I see." Angela said quietly.

"I think he is going to tell her that he is going to move in with her."

"Oh." Angela's expression fell.

"You see? This is why I didn't want to tell you." Sam lamented. "I knew it would hurt you."

"I appreciate that you wanted to spare my feelings. But...."

"How can he do this?" Sam snapped.

"Sam, it's your Father's decision."

"Aren't you going to do anything to stop him?"

"What am I supposed to do? Tony is an adult. "

"But, don't you care? I thought you loved him."

"I do."

"Then why aren't you going to do something? Why are you letting him go?" Sam stood up frustrated.

"Because it's obvious that he wants to be with her."

"So you're not going to fight for him? You're just going to let her win?"

"Sam, this isn't a contest."

"I know." Sam said with tears in her eyes. "I just wish he wasn't doing this."

"So do I." Angela said sadly.

Sam sat back down on the couch and laid her head on Angela's shoulder. They sat there quietly for a few minutes.

"Well, I know this much. If Dad marries her there is no way I am going to their wedding."

"Yes you will."

"No, I..."

"Yes, you will." Angela said firmly. "He is your Father."

"But...."

"No buts Sam!!!" Above everything else we are a family. And no matter what we will always be there for each other. How would you feel if he refused to go to your wedding?"

"I'd hate it."

"Well there you go."

Taking her head off her shoulder Sam looked Angela in the eye.

"Angela?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you be able to handle it? Will you be able to watch them get married?"

"It won't be easy." Angela admitted. "But he is my friend. My best friend. So I will go to his wedding. I will wish them both a lifetime of happiness and then I will come home, cry my eyes out and eat a gallon of ice cream."

"Would you like some company?" Sam asked quietly taking Angela's hand in hers.

"If it's you, definitely."
