Hello, my faithful readers! I have returned with a quick one-shot for you. (Sami/Ej) I own nothing of the show nor do I claim any ownership of its characters. This takes place in the Dimera mansion. -Madhatterhelsing
*inside the Dimera living room*
Standing up from the couch with a laugh Sami moved to stand in front of Ej, her face holding a small, amused smile. Giving his arm a small squeeze she stood and watched him a few moments before speaking. "Really Ej? Are you actually mad at me?" she paused moving to stand by the brown table that held various alcohols. "Are you joking?" she questioned pouring him a drink. She herself had taken a break from drinking but she still liked to smell it. Walking back over to Ej, she placed the glass of brandy in his waiting hand.
Still, not moving to speak Ej gave the brandy a look before taking a sip, looking at Samantha he released a small sigh before walking over to stand in front of the fireplace. Releasing a puff of laughter once more Sami moved to stand beside him. "It wasn't like I planned to go into labor when I did" she paused reaching out to grasp his arm and giving it a few tugs to get him to look at her. "Your son wanted to be born, he wanted to be free" smiling to herself with a shake of her head, she moved back to sit on the couch.
Patting the spot next to her, she waited a few moments before he made his way over to her, but not before finishing the rest of his brandy in one gulp. Reaching forward Sami took the glass from his grasp and leaned slightly to place it on the coffee table that sat in front of the couch they currently resided on. "It's not like In could have clamped my legs closed and demand he stop coming out, that he wait for your arrival...that's not how labor works.
Shaking his head, Ej made to stand once more but was stopped by Sami tugging him back down into the space beside her. "This is not funny Samantha" grumbling he turned his body from hers. Relaxing back into the couch, his legs stretched out to reside under the coffee table. "You could have done something, asked the doctor to stop it or give you something to slow the process or something," he stated. In his head this argument when better than it currently was, He knew he was being a bit irrational but something in him demanded he continue with the silly idea.
Sami sat quietly for a few moments, regarding him with a considering look. "I am sorry" she paused momentarily trying to find the correct words to pacify him but at the same time make him see he was being quite silly. "Things do not always work the way we want them too. For instance, I could have been upset that you weren't there when I went into labor but I didn't" she spoke softly moving to lean against him. "It would be unreasonable, it was out of both of our control. Just be happy our son is in good health."
Ej sighed, laying his head on top of her shoulder he reached down grasping her hand, guiding it up to his mouth. "Samantha, I am happy" kissing the back of her hand he laced their fingers together before moving their hands to rest in his lap. "I'm just upset that I missed the birth of our son. Our first son at that...I know I'm being unreasonable, but I really wanted to be there." Lifting his head he placed a kiss on top of her head. "Forgive me?" he questioned, his hand tensing slightly, squeezing her hand softly. Silence followed his question leaving him worried briefly that she wouldn't forgive him.
"Hmm I suppose I can take on the hardship of forgiving you," she stated teasingly. Slipping her head out from his she waited before speaking again. "But only if give me a kiss" she teased, not waiting she leaned in forward placing a quick peck to his surprisingly soft lips. It always amazed her just how soft his lips were. "I love you Elvis Dimera" smiling he leaned forward to steal another kiss "And I love you Samantha Dimera" he responded back. He had taken it upon himself to start the trend of calling her a Dimera instead of Brandy as most people in the small town of Salem did.
After a vast amount of time making out on the sofa like a bunch of hormone ridden teenagers, they both decided that they both had way too many clothes on and should move this make-out session up to their bedroom.
