Okay, so I have recently realized that I am absolutely in love with the character of EJ Wells from Days of Our Lives. I do want him to eventually end up with Sami in the show; however, for fan fiction purposes I think a made up character could love him so much better than she could.

I don't own Days of Our Lives

Background:

Okay, so we are fairly recent in the Days season. At this point (for story purposes) Sami is still kidnapped by Stephano, and is currently talking to his son on the phone, along with Roman and Lucas.

Chapter 1- Her

"Father, please listen to me." EJ pleaded, trying to save his children.

"No! You had potential. You throw your family away for a woman, no less a Brady."

"Father Samantha has done nothing wrong here, just let her and the children go so we can resolve this Vendetta." EJ was scared now. He didn't love Samantha, he did care about her deeply, all this time he had been doing his fathers bidding to keep another Brady safe though.

"Haha" Stephano chuckled, "You care about Samantha yes. But do you love her Elvis?" EJ's heat felt like it stopped. His father knew where she was and he was certain that she would use her to get to him.

"Are you crazy Stephano?" Lucas yelled, the conversation was on speaker phone. "Look at all he's done, he obviously loves her. Stephano burst out laughing.

"No Lucas, I don't." EJ said somberly.

"My son, has what you would call an infatuation with your wife. He loves another though, a Brady." Stephano said, EJ could sense the smirk on his lips even over the phone.

"Leave her out of this." EJ whispered through gritted teeth.

"Who is he talking about?" Roman said with concern

"It's not the time" EJ replied "Father leave her out of this, bring back Samantha, and we can sort this out like men."

"What would you know about being a man Elvis? You have failed to defend your family from our sworn enemies. You join them instead of your own father? You are no man dear boy." With that Stephano hung up. EJ held his head and looked around. They all knew there was no way to help Samantha now, that didn't stop Lucas and Roman from trying. They didn't ask about her. Probably for the best. As EJ walked along the bustling hallway of the police station. He had moved away from her to protect her, and now she was in danger.

The key turned in the lock of his apartment, the drive over had been a blur. He had missed a green light, went through a stop sign, almost killed someone, somehow it didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was her. His father was right, he didn't know anything about being a man. If he was a man, he wouldn't have left her when things got hard. He would have stayed there to keep her safe. If he had been a man, he wouldn't have slept with countless women to try to forget her. There was no forgetting her.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by the phone ringing.

"H-Hello?" his voice cracked

"EJ! We found Sami, she's okay, the babies are okay." Lucas was ecstatic

"Really? Good, say hi for me." He hung up before Lucas could respond. A smile did creep onto his face knowing that they were safe, but deep down he didn't really care that much. His phone rang again and he sighed.

"Yeah?"

"Hello Elvis, we have her." Stephano chuckled

"I told you father leave her out of this!"

"What fun would that be? Now listen to me closely or she dies. Bring Roman, Sami and Lucas down to the docks to meet me. Then we can start picking off the Brady's and there friends one by one. You have two hours." The line was dead. EJ threw his phone against the wall and it shattered. It was 7 o'clock. He had to go talk to Sami and her father.

Please R&R The next one will be our ASAP
