In Which Sam calls his son home...

[likely_evil]

ooc: takes place after this

He waited until the next morning to call his son. Ruby was settled in a warm bubble bath and after he had sat there for awhile, he promised her he would be just in the living room as he went to feed Buster and then pick up the phone.

How was Sam going to explain to Michael that his mother didn't remember him? It was one of the fears he was certain his son had, and now it had come true. But Sam had to be the optimist and could only hope that once she saw her baby boy in flesh and blood in front of her, something would spark and fill in those holes Hell had left in her.

It wasn't too late in Switzerland, so he dialed his son's cell phone and hoped he wasn't interrupting anything important between him and Tara.

"Really? That's kinda hard to believe. Not even to watch movies?"

He shook his head. "He's usually too busy to have that kind of time. Like if he needs to fly somewhere, he can read."

Tar bit her lip a moment. "Are you going to become like that if you start taking over more then?"

Her tone was one of worry. She loved her boy, and didn't want to see him turn into some kind of drone like that. She knew it would destroy the parts of him.

Business always took away the best parts of people.

He watched her for a minute, before shaking his head as he leaned in to kiss her softly. "Nope. Not if I got you to keep me in line."

"You'll have me as long as you want me, Michael," she said softly after they broke their kiss. "All you have to do is ask."

Her fingers played in his hair a bit, gentle caresses as she looked into his eyes.

"Thank you," he said softly.

She shifted a bit so that he could snuggle closer and she kept running her fingers through his hair. "You're welcome."

He stayed there quietly for a minute, eyes closed as he tried to relax before starting to pull away from her. "I should check on those flights."

She sighed but let him go. "Alright. Why don't you do that and I will go do some last minute shopping and then maybe I'll bring back something for dinner so we can eat here between packing and enjoying our few last hours?"

"Sounds good to me," he nodded.
