[color=f6989d]"Hey Chris."[/color] Sam greeted, holding her mug up with a nod and a small smile. She enjoyed working with the young doctor. She always had interesting takes on their cases and reminded her of life before kids. But nothing could stop the laughter that came out of Samantha's mouth when she just blurted out- and in front of their boss no less- that she had consumed some beers earlier. Well of course it was a national holiday! Sam had a few herself throughout the day but she certainly wasn't blurting it out to the team currently present. 

[color=f6989d]"Oh did you now?"[/color] she laughed, shaking her head as she looked down at the cup cradled in her hands. When she heard Lucian's response, her eyes traveled up to glance at him, a small smile on her lips hearing him carry on with a lighter tone. She didn't hear that from him enough, and it made her happy. [color=f6989d]"And you came to work- kudos to you and your ability to still function. But we need your brain on this one. So sober up kiddo."[/color] She motioned to her mug of freshly brewed tea, bringing her own to her lips and taking a nice sip of her still hot coffee to wake up again. 

Sam never minded taking on a maternal role on some of the members, then again some were around her sisters' age and it just came to her without hesitation. Ben claimed that it happened when Delilah was in college and her father passed suddenly, leaving her to take care of her grieving mother and the family. He also suspected that was why she was so good with the kids- it came naturally to her. She thought she was an alright mother, fearing that she spent too much time at work and not enough time with her little ones but someone had to do her job, and if it wasn't her then who else? She enjoyed what she did, despite how draining it happened to be... But seeing her kids whenever she managed to get home for a night or two after a case? Nothing beat that feeling in her mind. She knew Lucian understood that feeling- having so much love for a child that you thought you might explode. Sometimes she felt that for her team, viewing them as family instead of colleagues. They had a special place in her heart.

[color=f6989d]"So," [/color]she began, drawing out the word a little after their unit chief inquired about her holiday. [color=f6989d]"Do anything actually fun Chris? A cookout, a parade? If you tell me that you read books all day I'm going to cry."[/color] She gently teased, leaning back in her seat and crossing her legs, giving off a tired, but comfortable air around her.
