Chapter 1

"No!"

"Now Sami, be reasonable."

"NO, I won't do it mother!"

"Sami, you are a woman now, with a child, a child who needs his father."

"Will has his father, he sees him all the time! Even if he didn't, that is still no reason for me to marry him!"

Marlena was growing tired of struggling with her. Why does she have to be so stubborn? Well, she is her father's daughter she chuckled to herself. If she could only tell her the real reason why she needed her to marry Lucas, things would be so much easier, but she can't. They would all pay the price if she did.

"Now Sami, it is your grandmother's dying wish to see you and Lucas reconcile. Can't you try to be a little more reasonable about this and think about your grandmother?"

Sami softened at the mention of her grandmother Caroline, but she can't marry Lucas, she just can't. Lucas has made her life a living hell for the past two years and there is no way that she will ever live under the same roof as him.

"Grandma always tries to see the good in people, but I just can't see it in Lucas. You know what he's done to me."

"Yes, Sami I do know, but to be fair you have done some pretty horrible things to him too. Am I right?"

"I only did those things because of what he did to me!"

"Do you think that maybe, just maybe, that he's saying the same thing about you?"

Her mom did have a point. How did they get to this point? She knew. She has always known. It was her fault. If only she had told everyone who Will's father was as soon as she knew, none of this would probably be happening. She and Lucas would probably still be friends. But could she really marry Lucas? Well she wasn't about to admit anything to her mother.

"That doesn't matter right now!" she said coming out of her thoughts. "He still hurt me and I can't trust him!"

What was she going to do now? She is running out of options. She has to get Sami to agree to marry Lucas.

"Listen Sami, I do not care if you trust him. I do not care if you love him or not. You WILL marry him and you will do it in one week! Do you understand?" She hated to back Sami into a corner like this but she had no choice. She hates to threaten her but it is the only way.

She had never seen her mother like this. Why does she want me to marry him so badly? She's never really liked him that much. She must have a reason. Maybe if she agrees to marry Lucas, she can find out what that reason is. Something is very wrong.

"Yes mother, I understand," said Sami as she put on her look of defeat.

"Alright then. I hate that it has to come to this Sami, but I am glad you finally agreed so, I will call Kate and let her know."

----------------------------------

"Lucas, she is the mother of your child! You need to be there for them!"

She was interrupted by the phone. That had better be Marlena. Hopefully she got Sami to agree to this ridiculous arrangement.. To think that she, Kate Roberts was trying to get Lucas to marry Sami. Hell had finally frozen over.

"Hello?"

"Hi Kate."

"Well?"

"She agreed, I had to practically threaten her, but she agreed. Even though I still think she gave in far too quickly. I think she might be up to something."

"As long as she has agreed to this, I really don't care right now. I still have to try and convince Lucas or we'll all suffer," Kate said, trying to be as quiet as possible. She didn't want Lucas to overhear anything.

"Well you had better hurry. They have to be married in seven days. I just wish we could tell them the truth about why they have to get married and next week no less."

"I know but we have no choice. Oh, Lucas is coming, I have to go."

"Who was that mother?"

"Oh that, um wrong number. Now have you reconsidered?"

"No! I told you there is no way in hell that I am going to marry Sami! Why do you want me to marry her anyway? I thought you hated her with a passion."

Oh great, he had to bring that up. "Well, um, Sami does have good qualities that I have failed to see in the past."

"Yeah, like what?"

"Um, well, for one she is a good mother and I know that you agree with me."

Yes, he did agree with her. Despite Sami's faults, she is a good mother, but that doesn't cancel out everything else. If only he had known about Will from the beginning maybe they would still be friends right now. But this is way too fishy. Why does his mom want him to marry Sami? They hate each other for crying out loud.

"Alright, so she is a good mother. What about everything else she has done to me, though?"

"She has done a lot of terrible things to you, I admit. That was what made me hate her in the first place, but you have done your share of terrible things to her and I, as well."

She's right I have done a lot of terrible things to her. The thing with Franco was the worst. But that's not a reason to marry her. There's something going on here and he's going to figure it out, even if he has to marry Sami to do it.

"Alright Mom, I'll do it."

Oh what has she gotten herself into? It is all her fault and now Sami is going to be her daughter-in-law. Just great.

"Great! Now you just have to go and propose."
