Chapter #84
Sam’s POV
Today Scarlett had to go into the office so I am going to work on some music. She took Kai with her. He has been very clingy towards her lately so she just took him with her. “Hey Ma, are you going to work on some music today?” Sarah asks as I drink my coffee and scroll through Instagram. I put down my phone when she walked in so that I could pay attention to her. “Yeah I was thinking of doing ‘One Less Day (Dying Young)’ and if I feel like it I might do more songs but first I have to post a meme.” I grin.

“What is wrong with that chicks face”
[ScarlettJohansson: I was tossing her]
[ElizabethOlsen: She looks like she’s being punished by a parent]
[SarahJohansson: Oh my god she does]
[FlorencePugh: I laughed watching them film that stunt]
[SamMily: I remember]

“Ok lets get to the studio and get to recording.” Sarah says. “Ok lead the way.” I say Danny and the twins following us. “Ok you three go with your sister. Sarah where is Elizabeth? I know your Mom has Kai but I haven’t seen Elizabeth and I thought she might be in here but she’s not.” I say. “Oh Mom didn’t tell you she took Elizabeth to work with her too.” Sarah says. “Oh I did not know that. Thank you for letting me know.” I tell her as we get everything ready. “Yeah I forgot to tell you earlier. Mom told me to let you know so you didn’t panic sorry.” She says. “It’s ok I know where she is now so it’s all good. Ok I’m ready to record on my end.” I tell her and she counts me down.

“I'm not afraid of getting older”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I see the light go past my shoulder”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I see my life”
“Like a train with a one-way track”
“I've made mistakes”
“And I couldn't take 'em back”
“And I've been runnin' 'round in circles”
“'Til I'm dizzy, I can't lie”
“But every night I go to sleeps”
“A day that I survive”
“I'm not afraid of getting older”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I see the light go past my shoulder”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“And I've seen my friends”
“Fall away before their time”
“And I've been afraid”
“That I may follow in their light”
“So I drink and love and whisper”
“All the things I know are right”
“Someday, I will leave this world”
“But maybe not tonight”
“I'm not afraid of getting older”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I see the light go past my shoulder”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I'm one less day from dying young (yeah!)”
“All my life I have been wandering”
“Burning up my candle like my time just won't end”
“And I'll keep burning 'til there's nothing left”
“Praying that tomorrow I can do it all again”
“And if I get tomorrow, I will do it all again”
“I'm not afraid of getting older”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“And I see the light go past my shoulder”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I'm not afraid of getting older”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“I see the light go past my shoulder”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“(From dying young!)”
“I'm one less day from dying young”
“(From dying young!)”
“Hey!”

I see Danny dancing in the soundbooth as I sing, making me smile as I sing. The twins soon join their brother and all three are dancing like goofballs and Sarah is bobbing her head to the beat. “So I take it you like the song huh?” I say entering the soundbooth. “I like it, Mama.” Danny says. “Well thank you I worked hard on it. Hey, how about I do ‘With You Till The End’ next?” I ask Sarah. “Yeah that sounds good I’ll que it up now out of my booth and sing.” She says the last bit with a chuckle. “Yes Ma’am.” I say jokingly, saluting her. “You are silly.” Wyatt tells me. “I know.” I respond with a smile. I walk back to the mic and put my headset on and Sarah counts me down.

“I see it in your eyes”
“You're losing all your light”
“Each day feels longer than the day that came before”
“You can't see a way out”
“You've run out of time now”
“You've lost your heart inside this war”
“Never give up, don't give up now”
“There's still hope in the darkest hour”
“Never give up, don't give up now”
“I'll take this pain for you”
“I will pull you through”
“I'll be with you 'til the end”
“Through the fire and rain”
“I will be your strength”
“I'll be with you 'til the end”
“With you 'til the end (oh)”
“With you 'til the end (oh, oh)”
“When your fears are not fading”
“And there's parts of you breaking”
“I'll hold the pieces all together with my hands”
“Though the night feels lonely”
“I won't leave you behind me”
“Deep inside I know I can't”
“Never give up”
“Don't give up now”
“There's still hope in the darkest hour”
“Never give up”
“Don't give up now”
“I'll take this pain for you”
“I will pull you through”
“I'll be with you 'til the end”
“With you 'til the end”
“Through the fire and rain”
“I will be your strength”
“I'll be with you 'til the end”
“With you 'til the end”
“With you 'til the end”
“I'll take this pain for you”
“I will pull you through”
“I'll be with you 'til the end”
“With you 'til the end”

I finish the song and go back into the soundbooth. “I already know that you will be there Mama.” Danny says, hugging my leg. “That’s right, little man I will always be there for you as long as I can.” I say picking him up and holding him close. “Your music makes me happy Mama.” He says he has only heard the ones that are appropriate for a six year old. “I’m glad my music makes you happy. What do you guys want to do today?” I ask. “Can you take us hiking?” Danny asks. I have been waiting for them to ask. I have small packs for them and everything. I go hiking all the time although I don’t know if the twins will like it. “What hiking?” Emma asks. “Well it’s when you go to a nice big area that is just nature and you walk through it normally on trails that are already there. Do you want to do that?” I tell her and she shakes her head no and Wyatt does the same. “Ma I can watch them and you and Danny can go hiking if you want.” Sarah says. “You sure?” I ask. “More than sure. Have some time just you and Danny.” She says. “Ok Danny I’ve got a small pack for you to use, let's get ready shall we.” I say and he nods his head vigorously.

A/N
Get ready for some Sam and Danny time. This chapter’s question is what’s one thing you learned from your mother? One of the biggest things I learned from my mom is that not everyone gets the chance to grow old so cherish the time you have. Anygays see you in the next one.
