Author's Note: This story is based off the hit soap One Life to Live, yet the "history" has been changed somewhat to suit the purposes of this story. Not all the parts of this story will contain erotic sex scenes as there is a plot. First and foremost, this story is a romance/drama, not a sex story.
Also, I'd like to note that I do not own ABC's One Life to Live or the characters and I will NOT be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.

For the most part, they had settled into a comfortable routine. Stacy was getting better and was gradually regaining her strength again. She had been going to physical therapy to recover the use of her limbs and already she had made a great deal of progress. She was able to walk again although at times she still felt a little weak. Now that they had returned to Llanview, Kim had taken a job at a nearby strip-club. It wasn't the most respectable job, but it was work and right now with Stacy recovering, they had no other choice as they had to make ends meet. Kyle and Fish had agreed to let Stacy have partial custody of Sierra Rose once they found out that Stacy hadn't really died. Sierra Rose was adjusting to having a mommy in her life, considering she had spent the first year and a half being raised by her father and his significant other.
Awakening that day and missing a year and half of her life had been difficult for Stacy, but she knew it had to be a million times worse for Kim. Through it all, Kim had never given up on her. If hadn't have been for Kim's persistance, Stacy may have never woken up. She'd still be in that state of limbo, unable to open her eyes or live her life. Stacy knew that she owed everything to Kim, her best friend in the whole world. Ever since the day they met, Kim had always stuck by her. Whenever Stacy had set her sights on some guy, no matter what the circumstances, Kim had always tried to help Stacy get whatever it was she wanted, because all she had ever really cared about above anything else was Stacy's happiness.
Right now, Stacy was so happy and thankful to have regained her life. Sierra Rose was the cutest little girl with Stacy's blond hair and sparkling blue eyes. Never had Stacy imagined how much love she would have for her little girl. Everytime she looked at her daughter, she was reminded of how much beauty and wonderment there was in the world.
Oliver dropped by one evening, carrying Sierra Rose in his arms. "Is Stacy home?" he asked when Kim had answered the door.
"Yeah, she's here... but she's sleeping," responded Kim as Stacy still required a great of rest as she worked to regain her strength.
"Well, Kyle and I are going out tonight so we were wondering if you and Stacy could keep an eye on Sierra," spoke Oliver as he shifted Sierra Rose on his hip.
"Sure, it's my night off from the club. We'd love to have Sierra Rose," answered Kim as she held out her arms for the little girl. Oliver handed Sierra over to Kim as the little girl settled into Kim's arms.
