Chapter 6: Four Days Ago...
(Brady Pub)
"YOU WHAT?" shouted an outraged Roman Brady.
"I think you heard me the first time Dad, I have moved in with EJ." Sami replied calmly. She looked around at almost her entie family sitting around in various booths. They all had almost matching looks of disappointment on their faces.
"Sami what are you thinking, hes a DiMera!" Marlena asked with a frown.
"Wells Mom, he is a Wells" Sami sighed. She had known this was going to be difficult. "He wants to be part of the twins lives, and I want him be there for them. He's changed, and I've changed, and we have decided this is the best thing for our family."
"Our Family! He is not part of our family!" Roman shouted.
"He is part of my family now. All of you will have to accept that, if you want to have anything to do with the twins." Sami replied firmly.
"What about Lucas?" Aunt Hope asked.
"Lucas always leaves me when life gets hard. He never stays to fight for me. He will always be special to me because he's Wills Father. But I've finally realized that we were never ment to be together, thats why it has never worked out between us." Sami answered.
"But your marriage?" Aunt Kayla asked.
"Is over, Lucas has already started divorce proceedings." Sami replied.
"And Will?" Uncle Bo wanted to know.
"Will is with me and EJ at the Manor. And he is fine with everything that is happening. He understands that EJ will be there for all five of us all the time. Actually he is helping EJ move all our new furniture into the Manor today."
"Do you really think you can trust Elvis?" Uncle Steve asked while adjusting his patch.
"Yes, I trust him with my life, and my childrens lives." Sami stated without hesitation.
Sami looked at her family knowing most of them were not happy with her. "Oh well, whats new!" she thought "They can either except it or not. For the first time in a long time I'm truly happy, and I'm not going to let them ruin it for me this time."
Belle gave her older sister a reassuring smile, as did Chelsea. John had a thoughtful look on his face as he stroked his chin. Walking toward Belle, Sami handed her a piece of paper.
"This is the address of the Manor, all of you are welcome to visit whenever you like, as long as your civil toward EJ." Sami said as she picked up her purse to leave. Her parents just turned their backs to her and walked into the kitchen, without saying a word to her. Sami's eyes teared up as she walked hastily toward the door.
"Good-bye everyone" Sami said as she motioned for Maurice her personal bodyguard that EJ had hired to go ahead and leave.
As she was walking toward her car trying to blink away the tears, she heard someone running up behind her.
"Samantha Jean, wait a second!" John Black said.
Sami looked up at her step-father "What John?"
"Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked with concern showing in his eyes.
"Very sure, I'm happy!"
"Ok then, I just want you to be safe and happy. And if Elvis J. Wells makes you happy, that is fine with me."
Sami pulled the man who had raised her into a tight hug "Thank-you John, that means the world to me!"
"No problem, I might just head on up the Manor, and see if they need any help." he said with a smile.
Sami laughed "That would be fantastic, I don't think EJ really knows what he has gotten himself into!"

(DiMera Mansion)
"He What!!" Stefano demanded.
"Junior and that blond bimbo have moved in together, and he has hired a security detail for the property. Not including personal bodyguards for Sami and Will." Tony replied.
"Thats it Anthony! You will take care of this matter yourself. Do you understand, you personally, no hired thugs. Dr. Rolf says I must have those stemcells within the week!"
"As you wish Father" Tony said hiding his building anger with a tight smile "It will be done."

(The Wells Manor)
EJ and Will were sitting on the stairs leading up to the second floor taking a break from painting the nursery, when the doorbell was heard. Will leaped up and bounded down the stairs to open the door "Grandpa John, What are you doing here?"
Ruffling Wills curly hair John Black walked in and nodding up at EJ "I thought I would see if you guys needed any help."
Will smiled "Yes" dropping his voice to a whisper "EJ dosn't know anything about painting."
"I heard that William " EJ said from behind the boy "John" EJ hesitantly stuck out his hand.
John gave him an apprasing look, and finally took the taller mans hand in a firm handshake. "I told Sami Jean I'd come help you out with the move in." John said with a broad grin, as he took in the sight of both EJ and Will splattered with pinl and blue paint. "Did you even get any on the walls guys?"
EJ and Will both looked a little sheepish when EJ replied "Not much, I did not realize painting was this hard!"
John chuckled "Let me show how its done."
(A couple hours later)
"Bloody Hell" EJ swore as the crib he was trying to put together fell apart for the third time.
John laughed as he put the final screw into the crib he had put together
"How did you manage to put that blasted thing together?" EJ asked.
"I've done this a few times before" John answered as he moved to help EJ with his.
As he worked he looked over at the British man sitting in front of him "You hurt her Elvis and I'll make your life a living hell." John said softly.
"I love her John, I'll do everything in my power to keep her happy and safe"
"See that you do Junior, and I won't have to see about getting myself another kidney."
EJ gulped nervously "You have my word."

(An Abandoned Parking Lot)
The black Porshe is sitting in the dark, a light on the inside flickers to life. The outline of a man can be seen thru the darkened windows holding what looks to be a cell phone. A light British accent can barely be heard as a few words float out the partially cracked window.
"Status is good...on schedule...all players in position...target will be accessible...48 hours...package arrival...confirmed..." the light goes out on the inside the car.
A few minutes later another car pulls up, a slender blonde hair main jumps out. He rushes over to the Porshe and climbs in. Rapid hand movements can be seen as the duo in the car converse.
Finally the Porshe's engine comes to life, and it carries its occupants futher out of town.

Authors Note: So how does everyone like it so far? Any guess to who the dark shadow in the Porshe is that seems to be following EJ & Sami? Who was the slender blonde man who joined the shadow? What are they up to? Give me a review and let me know if you have it figured out? A little hint one more person will join this strange duo in their quest. Smile and happy reading!!!!
