Sami and Ej had a silent ride in the car. She just wasn't sure what she wanted to say to her new husband, Ej was terrified to say the wrong thing and have her go running from the car. But once Sami seen them pulling up in front of what seemed like and abandoned Bed and Breakfast, she knew it was time to speak.
"What are we doing here?"
"Our honeymoon." He said as he looked at her with love and devotion. Sami had once told Ej about a honeymoon she always wanted, to go to a quiet place where the two could just be alone and her not have to worry about problems, or her family. She just wanted to have peace on her honeymoon and that was exactly what he was giving her.
"It's beautiful, is there anyone else here?"
"Just he owner and his wife, I rented out the entire place. I know I'm not the man you want to be here with, but I figured I would at least give you your dream honeymoon." He said and helped her out of the car before getting their bags.
"Thank you." Was all she could say as she walked into the hotel and headed to their room, as she opened the door she seen a box on the bed and candles on the nightstand. "What's this?"
"Wedding present." He said and put their suitcases in the closet. He smirked and Sami sat on the bed to open the box. Inside were two baby books, one pink and one blue. "I figured you could start right away with the books for the twins, I know you regret not doing it with Will."
"Thank you, that was very thoughtful. Wait, what else is in here?" She said and begun to dig through the tissue paper. In her hands were a decorating magazine and a key.
"I wanted you to be comfortable in our home."
"The Dimera mansion will never make me feel comfortable." Ej walked over to her and got down on his knees in front of her as he grabbed for her hands.
"I thought so, that's why I bought a house not to far from the apartments. Big back yard, room for the twins and close to your family."
"But your father…"
"I will deal with my father, I want you to feel at ease and I know that will never happen in the mansion. Plus, we would have moved out once the twins were born."
"Thank you Ej, it means a lot to me."
"Darling, I want you to decorate however you like, paint or tear apart anything your heart desires, all I ask is a comfortable couch." He said and the two started to laugh.
"But where will we live while the house is getting ready?"
"My apartment, the mansion, or here. It's entirely up to you, just tell me what you want and I will make it happen."
"Ej, I cant tell you howmuch this means to me. You are being any women's fantasy and all I can do is cry."
"Darling, I know you didn't want to marry me. I'm just going to do anything in my power to make our lives to together as comfortable and happy as possible. I just want you to be happy, I don't want our children to know the real reason for their parents marriage."
"I would never tell a child that. But you're right; we need to get some sort of understanding between us before the children are born. I don't want them to see me this way. I just have one question, did you mean what you said to Tony at the reception?"
"You heard that?"
"Ya, me and Belle were heading to the bar for a drink when you two started talking, was it true?"
"Every word Samantha. It is no secret that I love you, I just hope one day you will feel the same way." Ej said and kissed her hand before getting up and loosening his tie as he stared at the door.
"Ow." Sami said and grabbed her stomach.
"Are you ok?" He said, quickly turning to check on her.
"Were you a soccer player? Because our children are kicking me." Sami said and then leaned back, "Please stop kicking mommy." She said to her belly and they both started to laugh.
"I did play soccer, but can I feel?"
"Of course." She said and put his hand on her stomach.
"I don't feel anything?" Ej said, because just as he put his hand down, they stopped kicking.
"They stopped, wait take your hand away, now put it back." Sami moved Ej's hand and started to laugh when she realized what they were doing. "They recognize their father."
"That's amazing, stop kicking your mother, its not nice." He said and as he moved his hand around she noticed they stopped immediately.
"Guess they don't want to argue with you." She said and the two started to laugh.
"They know better," he said and just stood there amazed by it.
"Think you could stay there for a while, they're really making me crazy."
"Sure, you want to change and lay down? I know its been a long day."
"Ya, I'll be right back." She said and headed to change, Ej never even changed out of his suit, he just laid down on the bed next to Sami and ended up staying there all night. He couldn't bare to wake her once she fell asleep. He just hoped that when she would wake up, she would love him, even if it were only temporary. He wanted nothing more then to be with her, to have her be in love with him.
