Sami began to run back towards her beach house and Michael followed quickly behind her and laughed.

They ran into her bedroom and began kissing long and slow. Sami moaned as she removed Michael's shirt he had an even deeper tan just coming back from location in Africa. You see Michael was definition of tall, dark and handsome. His skin was already a caramel color and now he was like a bronze god standing before her. Michael picked her up and laid her on the bed both half naked and clawing at each other. All of sudden there was a crashing sound Michael got up to see where the noise came from Sami closely behind him. Michael was puzzled when he went into the living room. Someone threw a brick through the glass doors to the beach. Michael walked over to the broken glass and Sami warned him to be careful. Michael picked up the brick. Sami gasped, "The kids could have been here. Who would do something like this?" Sami asked Michael shook his head "I don't know but I think you and the kids should stay with me tonight." Michael demanded Sami shook her head "I don't think that's a good idea Michael the kids are just getting use to you. I don't want them thinking you're trying to replace their father especially today of all days." Sami said Michael was confused "Mi Amor what's today? " he asked Sami sighed "Its my wedding anniversary today." Sami admitted the color from Michael's face drained and all of sudden he was pale. "So that's what you were thinking about EJ? "Michael said sadly Sami nodded "Yes but you know I'm here with you right?" Sami asked Michael pulled away "We better get this cleaned up before the kids get home." Michael said Sami sighed and went to get the broom

Michael cleaned up the glass before the children got home. Sami found it strange that someone would throw a brick in her glass doors. This was Malibu stuff like this just didn't happen. Michael had a worried look on his face after he cleaned up the mess. "Michael what's wrong? "Sami asked

Michael sighed, "I'm really not comfortable with you and the kids staying here tonight alone.

Until the cops figure out what happens I think you should stay with me. "Michael said sternly

Sami shook her head." Michael the kids are just getting comfortable with you and I think that would freak them out. I don't want them thinking I'm trying to replace their father. The cops will look into this

And it was probably some kids playing a practical joke. "Sami said Michael shook his head. Sami sighed

"I know what you're thinking. You think I'm avoiding taking this further. I'm not Michael I'm just trying to be careful with Johnny finally behaving and Sydney finally coming out of her shell .I doesn't want to take chances especially today. " Sami said Michael was confused "What's today Mi Amor?" Michael asked

Sami sighed and lowered her head. Michael walked over to her and lifted her chin to face him. "What is today Sami?" Michael asked gently Sami had tears in her eyes "Today is my wedding anniversary to EJ. "Sami blurted. She felt much better just saying it. Sami was trying to be honest with Michael as much as she could. Sami learned secrets only had a way of blowing up in your face literally.

Michael sighed, "I see. Well if you don't want to go to my parent's tonight I understand." Michael said sadly Sami pulled Michael closer "Don't do that. I don't dismiss how you feel about this. I know it bothers you when I think about EJ. I know I should have moved on by now and I should let go but it's so hard." Sami said tears in her eyes. Michael hugged her "I don't know what it's like to lose someone, especially someone I loved very deeply but I'm here for you and I'm not going anywhere. I don't know what I would do if I lost you mi Amor. I don't know what I would do but I'm here for you always. " Michael said

Sami kissed him gently and Michael responded. Sami felt a pain in her heart she couldn't describe but it seemed familiar. Sami shook off the feeling. "I have an idea why don't you stay here tonight? The kids will be exhausted after we come back from your parents. Will that make you feel better?" Sami asked Michael smiled "Waking up next you will always makes me feel better." Michael said as he kissed her again. The figure ran back to the car that was black and tinted. The figure started banging the steering wheel harder and harder. Then it stopped as it turned to a picture that was in the front seat. It was a framed picture of EJ & Sami at their wedding. "Samantha how could you forget me, today of all days." EJ said sadly as tears rolled down his face.

The police came and took Sami & Michael statements as EJ watched. As the police were leaving a black truck showed up and then EJ's heart sank. It was Johnny & Sydney coming home from school. They got so big EJ thought. It took everything he had not to run out the car and tell them he was alive. He wanted to hold them and tell them how much he missed them. How hard he fought to find them and get to them and their mother. Then EJ felt a pang of anger when Johnny ran to Michael to hug him. EJ had flash backs of when his son preferred another man to be his father. EJ couldn't deal with being replaced yet again. EJ's eyes closed in on Sami as he watched her with a big smile on her face. EJ wanted to rip that smile off her face but he knew his jealousy was getting the best of him. He needed to keep his anger in check. He always made stupid moves when he was angry. He would be smart about how he reclaimed his life

Michael and Sami left for dinner at the Reyes house. Michael seemed more sullen despite Sami's offer for him to spend the night. Michael wanted so much more but he knew he had to be patient. They arrived at his parent's house and they were greeted with smiles. Blanca knew her son all too well. The kids went off to play with the other children. Blanca told Sami she had to speak to Michael alone. Sami was content to play with the children. While the rest of the family were playing card or dominoes. The music was blaring. EJ continued to watch Sami from afar. Seeing her with the children brought back so many good memories. He ached to be with her. For her to look in his eyes and tell him everything will be okay again. That's what he needed the most was to be in her arms and hear her words.
