"... we need to have a child..."
Sam just stared at Brandy, it literally came out of nowhere randomly. They'd never really discussed it. Sam as quite literally terrified of the prospect of being a father. Sam was sitting with his mouth hanging open, struggling to put the words together in his head let alone speak them aloud.
Then the meals arrived and Sam couldn't even acknowledge the waiter he was still in shock at Brandy's announcement.
"... I think, besides the fact that the two of us would make great parents, that you could devote yourself to our son or daughter to give them the kind of child hood we never got to have."
Sam was still astounded. They hadn't been a couple for that long and Kids were being discussed. "Brandy...I...I don't think I'm ready for that yet. We haven't even really had a lot of time to enjoy ourselves. A kid is a huge responsibility. I need to be sure..." Sam gave her a soft look. "Please don't take this the wrong way. I love you and maybe one day down the line. But now? I'm not so sure that's a good idea."
Sam hoped to God, Brandy wouldn't get offended. They both needed to want this next step.

Brandy was chewing on her steak, her eyes holding no expression but then - quite out of the blue, Brandy began to laugh into her food.
"I never said I wanted one now, you can swallow your food hun"
Sam's panic was priceless, one of those times she wished she had a video camera - it was the reaction she had expected, after all, but she almost felt like teasing him some more.
"I am just saying, I would like to have one with you. I would like to have a family... our own family"

Sam felt like an idiot for jumping the gun so prematurely. But it was a relief to know Brandy wasn't looking to start a family quite so soon. It was definetly something to consider somewhere down the line.
"Well, talk about giving me the wrong idea." Sam let out a small, almost nervous laugh. "We can talk about this another time I think." Sam took a sip from his wine and tucked into his meal giving a satisfied smile. "Glad I followed your lead, this is great."

"Well, talk about giving me the wrong idea."
Brandy just laughed at him, trying to hold back her comment about how it was worth it. She knew he had meant a lot to her, she just wanted him to know how much. In her mind telling someone you basically wanted to settle down with them and eventually raise a family - meant a lot.
"We can talk about this another time I think."
Brandy smirked, she was almost done her meal and was already looking forward to dessert. Strawberry shortcake? Completely for the win!
"Glad I followed your lead, this is great."
"Yes it is. Have we thought about what we are doing for thanksgiving? I know its a while away yet but I was thinking we could invite Summer and Kaelyn over for dinner at the trailer?"

In truth, Sam hadn't thought about Thanksgiving at all. "I guess we could. I mean isn't that the whole point? We could ask at least, find out what everyone's doing."
He had to admit to himself, that spending Thanksgiving not working and at home with friends was very appealing.
Sam finished off his meal, not a scrap was left on his plate. He wiped his mouth over with a napkin. A satisfied smile on his face after a good meal. "I don't even think I've got room for dessert" he patted his stomach and grinned.

"I guess we could. I mean isn't that the whole point? We could ask at least, find out what everyone's doing."
Brandy nodded as she leaned back in her chair, the waiter had come to collect their plates and laid the dessert down at their table in the process.
And just as Sam said he didn't know if he could eat dessert...
"I have no problem eating yours"
Brandy couldn't help but to throw him a grin, it didn't matter how full you were.. there was always room for dessert!

Sam pushed the plate towards her, "Go for it." he smiled at her broadly. It wasn't wasteful if someone else was going to eat it and Brandy seemed to be enjoying it so much it was worth it. He really couldn't eat another bite.
Sam tried to stifle a yawn. He wasn't bored, just tired. Worn out from the day of travelling and then the passionate lovemaking. Plus he wanted to be alert for a day of fun at the fair.

Brandy got half - way through her dessert, and ended up asking the waiter to pack up the rest. She could always tell when Sam was getting tired - well, duh, he also yawned! That was her cue that they probably should be heading back to the room.
It wasn't that late at night, 9pm to be exact - she had asked someone the time in the elevator on the way back to the room, but Sam could get cranky if he didn't get his full 8 hours sleep.
Not that she couldn't get cranky either, maybe they could order some room service for breakfast in the morning?
Once they were back in their motel room, Brandy was looking at the bed and peeling out of her clothes. It took awhile, because Sam had to help her out of her dress and she had to take off those earrings, and those bracelets which took some extra time. Brandy really wasn't a jewelry person, and she frowned at the little bumps on her wrists from the material.
Sensitive skin was a b!tch sometimes.
She frowned and climbed into the bed, a little shy about the bumps on her wrist. They would go away on their own, but they were still really itchy!

After the meal was over, they headed back up to there room. Sam continued to yawn on and off all the way there and inside the room. But he wasn't too tired to help Brandy with her dress and accessories. Then he undressed and put the suit neatly over the back of a chair at the other side of the room. No need to crumple it.
Sam crawled into bed beside Brandy and snuggled up beside her. Draping one arm over her side. He kissed her lightly on the cheek. "Good day?" another yawn crept out of nowhere. His lids were feeling heavy, but he wanted to stay awake just a little bit longer to say goodnight.

"Good day?"
"Only every day.."
She had taken his hand and kissed it gently, her eyes were heavy too and she was already struggling to keep them open...
"... I love you..."
She loved this so much, being in his arms and falling asleep next to him..
.. and this time, there would be no more dreams of Jack - now, they would only be of him.

Sam's eyes were rolling in there sockets as he forced himself to stay awake for a few more seconds. "I love you too." Sam planted another small kiss gently on Brandy's cheek and his eyes couldn't remain open any longer and sure enough he passed out into a deep and very comfortable sleep.
Today was a good day.

Day 2. Well, it really was the only full day they would have in Dallas. They had another night to spend but sadly, tomorrow morning they would be heading home.
Brandy had got up before Sam did, and had put a house coat on so that she could go and brush her teeth for the day. Once that was done she was already brewing a fresh pot of coffee, she had already ordered room service and was sitting down at the table with her back to the bed.
Curiously her brown eyes were looking over a brochure for the sites and attractions of Dallas. The aquarium, the amusement park, and.. oh.. what was this? A tattoo parlor! Well that was interesting!
Absent-mindlessly Brandy poured herself a cup of coffee and sipped it straight, her slender fingertip leafing through the rest of the brochure before the breakfast was suppose to arrive.

Sam's eyes opened with a slow blink, though he couldn't tell the time due to the lack of windows. One thing the Silent Shore Hotel lacked, due to there nocturnal occupants. He instinctively reached his hand for Brandy, but it brushed the pillow where she had lay the night before. Sam eased himself up to look around the room, he smiled as he noticed Brandy sitting at the table across from the bed. She had her back to him and was sipping coffee and reading.
Sam eased himself out of bed and walked over to the table and kissed Brandy on the top of her head. "Mornin' beautiful." he continued to walk past into the bathroom to go through his usual morning routine. 10 minutes later he came back out, a grey towel around his waist. "What're you readin?"

"Mornin' beautiful."
Brandy almost jumped in her seat, she wasn't paying attention to what was going on behind her - only her reading. She looked up however, a soft smile on her face that was only reserved for him.
"Good Morning Hun"
She watched him for a moment, her eyes trailing over his backside as he slipped into the bathroom. God, every inch of that man was perfection...
She turned back to her reading and after a few minutes he had returned from the shower wearing only a towel around his waist.
"What're you readin?"
"Suddenly it doesn't seem so important anymore.."
He should of known better, she was already off her chair with her arms around him and kissing him eagerly. Her slender hands had reached around and casually grabbed at his @ss when there was a knock on the door.
"Urg. Room service has the worst timing ever"

Brandy got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around him. Her lips on his in an instant, Sam reciprocated her kiss with as much enthusiasm. His arms slipping around her waist and pulling her close to him.
A knock at the door disturbed them and they pulled away at the same time. "Urg. Room service has the worst timing ever"
Sam was almost tempted to ignore the door. But if room service had been ordered, may as well just enjoy it. "Raincheck?" Sam said planting a small kiss on Brandy's lips. "Maybe you should answer, I don't think the bellboy would appreciate a half naked man answering the door." Sam gave Brandy a cheeky wink and grabbed a few items of clothing to put on and returned to the bathroom to change.
