Sam's POV
After my relapse I have been going to a meeting once a day either online or in person. Today is very important. Today Lukasz is finally coming home. "Sam, you have checked the car seat four times already. He's fussy and wants to get home hun." Scarlett says holding Lukasz in her arms. "I just want to make sure it's secure." I say. "He'll be alright honey." She says placing him down in the seat. "He's a carbon copy of you Penguin." I smile. "No he's got some of your features." She says. "Like my attitude?" I laugh. "Yep." She says with a chuckle. "So how is the recovery album coming along?" Scarlett asks. "Good, you want to hear some of it?" I ask. "I always want to hear your music." She says. "Ok open up my recording app on my phone I've got one on there. It's called Anyone." I say and hand her my phone and she pulls up the song and plays it and my music begins to fill the car.
"Uh, uh"
"I tried to talk to my piano"
"I tried to talk to my guitar"
"Talked to my imagination"
"Confided into alcohol"
"I tried and tried and tried some more"
"Told secrets 'til my voice was sore"
"Tired of empty conversation"
"'Cause no one hears me anymore"
"A hundred million stories"
"And a hundred million songs"
"I feel stupid when I sing"
"Nobody's listening to me"
"Nobody's listening"
"I talked to shooting stars"
"But they always get it wrong"
"I feel stupid when I pray"
"So why am I praying anyway?"
"If nobody's listening"
"Anyone, please send me anyone"
"Lord, is there anyone?"
"I need someone, oh"
"Anyone, please send me anyone"
"Lord, is there anyone?"
"I need someone"
"I used to crave the world's attention"
"I think I cried too many times"
"I just need some more affection"
"Anything to get me by"
"A hundred million stories"
"And a hundred million songs"
"I feel stupid when I sing"
"Nobody's listening to me"
"Nobody's listening"
"I talked to shooting stars"
"But they always get it wrong"
"I feel stupid when I pray"
"Why the fuck am I praying anyway?"
"If nobody's listening"
"Anyone, please send me anyone"
"Lord, is there anyone?"
"I need someone, oh"
"Anyone, please send me anyone"
"Oh, Lord, is there anyone?"
"I need someone"
"Oh, anyone, I need anyone"
"Oh, anyone, I need someone"
"A hundred million stories"
"And a hundred million songs"
"I feel stupid when I sing"
"Nobody's listening to me"
"Nobody's listening"
"That was beautiful Sam." Scarlett says wiping away a stray tear and I rub my thumb over her knuckles. "Thank you." I say and the rest of the drive is pretty quiet. "Ok Lukasz welcome home bubs." I say as I carry him inside. "Oh my god Sam Sarah made a post about your pigeon." Scarlett says as we walk up to the nursery.
"Ma and I are Clint and Nat and Mom is Tony"
[ScarlettJohansson: You two actually did that and now I can't get the damn pigeon out of my garage]
[SamMily: His name is Gerald]
[SarahJohansson: Yeah Mom]
[MelanieSloan: Why am I not surprised]
"OH MY GOD I GOT A NEW CLIENT!!" Sarah screams running up the stairs and meeting Scarlett and I out in the hall outside of the nursery excitedly. "That's great Sweetie, who is it?" I ask. "The country singer Ingrid Andress." She says. "I love her!" I cheer. "Ahem." Scarlett fake coughs. "But only have eyes for you. You sexy goddess." I say and Sarah makes a gagging sound. "Not in my studio." She says. "Hey I'm trying to have sex can you keep it.. Shit hi Mom, Ma." Jr says. "No I didn't hear that!" He's too pure!" Scarlett screams running into our room. "Oh Jesus look what you did." I say. "I didn't know it was you guys, we thought you would be gone longer." He says. "Use protection. I've got to deal with your mother who is in denial." I sigh and go to find Scarlett in our room.
