Supercorp: Unexpected Feelings

Chapter 125

Elsewhere in National City, Sam and Ruby are now in their home, just the two of them, as Kelly and Alex have just left after spending the day with them, and also having a barbecue together, which Alex was very much in charge of, although Ruby certainly offered a lot of help. This was such a lovely sight to see for Sam, to see how much Ruby and Alex are truly bonding, and becoming even more closer than they already are. This has been such an important part of Sam's relationship with Kelly and Alex, as even though she is pregnant with Alex's pup now, if Ruby just didn't like Alex and Kelly she would not continue this throuple relationship. The same would be true if Alex and Kelly showed very little interest in spending time with Ruby. After all, at the end of the day, Sam does know that the future of their potential relationship would mean them all living together, which would mean Alex and Kelly living with Ruby as well. So in that case, Sam would not want an environment where Kelly and Alex tip toe around Ruby, or Ruby avoids Alex and Sam. Sam would want an environment where they could all be a family, and Kelly and Alex can parent Ruby in a way, just as long as Ruby is okay with that. So, with all these thoughts in mind, Sam is just really happy with how things are going, and how much Ruby enjoys spending time with Kelly and Alex.

Right now, Sam and Ruby have just sat down on their couch, and are about to watch a little TV before bed. The two can't stay up for much longer, as tomorrow is Monday, meaning Sam has to go to work, and Ruby has to go to school. As Sam and Ruby sit in the living room though, the CFO notices a clear mood shift in Ruby from how it was 20 minutes ago, when Alex and Kelly were here with them. Ruby may be on her phone right now, probably looking through some trash on social media, and only half watching the TV, but Sam knows her daughter well. Sam knows when Ruby is sad, happy, upset, or even in the middle of one of her teenage moody sessions. Right in this moment, Sam can tell that Ruby is feeling dejected, and a bit sad, but Sam doesn't really know why. Sam really hopes nothing happened with Alex today which is making her feel this way.

"Ruby?" Sam soon says.

"Yeah?" Ruby replies.

"Are you okay?" Sam asks.

"I'm fine." Ruby says, in a clear voice that shows she's not fine at all.

"You don't sound it Rubes. Come on, why don't you come talk to me?" Sam says, "You know you can tell me anything, right?"

"Yeah. I know." Ruby nods.

"So, what's the matter?" Sam asks, "Did something happen with Alex today? You can tell me. I don't want you keeping anything from me if you are uncomfortable with Alex or Kelly. I may be the one in a relationship with them, but it's important to me that you are comfortable with them to. At the end of the day, you are more important to me than anyone I could possibly date. So if something happened, or you just are not comfortable with them, I'll end my relationship with them."

"No!!" Ruby now exclaims.

Sam now grows a very confused look on her face in regards to Ruby's outburst.

"I don't want you to break up with Kelly and Alex!" Ruby now says, in a firm and alarmed voice.

"Okay...." Sam says, in an unsure voice, "Then what is going on, Ruby? I'm confused."

Ruby now sighs.

"I just...... I think it kind of sucks that Alex and Kelly have to leave all the time." Ruby says.

"Oh...." Sam says, really not expecting Ruby to say that at all.

"I like Alex and Kelly. I think they are cool. And I think they care about me, and I'm not just some kid they are spending time with because they feel like they have to because they are dating my mom. I think they legitimately like spending time with me. At least, I hope they do." Ruby says.
