Cortez Estate

"Lucas, don't play with your tie." Greta looked at her fiancée with annoyance. She knew Lucas hated these royal functions she did too, but they only had to attend one once every blue moon, and it didn't help the situation when he just stood there pouting and messing with his tie. She sees him lift his hand near his throat, and she is pushed to her boiling point. "Touch it again, and you will walk back to Salem."

Laughter erupts at the table. Belle and Shawn can barely hide their enjoyment. While Marlena sends the man a pitying glance at his predicament.

John however sends his future son-in law a warning look." Lucas, she'll do it." He felt for the couple although Chloe disappearance had brought them together, and it frequently tore them apart. With one move Stefano and his bastard of a son, had managed to hurt all three of his children and the second he got a clear shot he would kill the old man.

"Sorry." When the words have no affect he moves into phase two, and gives her his best sheepish grin. "Nervous habit." Still nothing. "You look gorgeous, by the way, stunning, breathtaking, a vision of loveliness." She barely glances in his direction. "Should I quit now, or keep going," He shrugs his shoulders. "A hint would be heaven sent right."

"Here's one shut up, before she realizes she can do better." Lucas grimaces when he recognizes the voice, turning all his fears are confirmed. He tries to smile, but can't even summon the energy to fake it. Mike made him feel insecure, he knew that Mike was a good guy, and he just keep thinking that had Mike been there instead of him Chloe would still be, because Mike wouldn't failed his sister.

"Hello Mike." He turns towards his sister-in-law and gives a devastating smile. "Hello Carrie, you look lovely, even on the arm of my obnoxious brother."

Carries moves and kisses Lucas on the cheek. "Hi, Lucas." She goes and hugs her mother and sister. Mike goes around the table greeting people before he pulls out Carrie's chair and looks at his brother.

Mike had to admit he never thought he would see the day that he respected Lucas, but here it was. Lucas had been literally been a mommas' boy cheating and drinking his way through life. But here he was now a successful vice-president with Basic Black, engaged to a great woman, a good father to his son, and a dedicated brother to both his sisters. Not liking the way his thoughts were headed Mike tried to stop. It was painful to think of Chloe, he had only met the girl twice, but had felt like she needed protecting, and being totally honest he had to admit he was jealous of the bond that Chloe and Lucas made before she was taken. Putting it out of his mind Mike puts on a smile. "Just kidding, Lucas." "How you doing?"

"Fine and you?" Lucas smiles a fake smile that could be seen miles away, and obviously he wasn't fooling anyone because it was that point when Greta elbowed him in his side. "Ow."

"Sorry dear, my arm must have slipped." Greta sends him a warning looking, and prays that he gets the message.

Belle watches her sister with unhidden amusement; sometimes she wondered how those two ever got together. They were just so different. She always thought that Lucas was a lying little weasel, but she has since learned not to base opinions on Sami's thinking. It had taken years of denying the rumors of her sister's lying and backstabbing, but when she caught Sami trying to steal medication from her mother's medical bag to drug Phillip she had finally seen the light. Sure she had tried to warn Phillip, but he didn't seem that concerned with fact that his wife would drug him; obviously Kate Robert's demented parenting skills had surfaced. Switching her attention back to Greta and Lucas she realizes that Carrie and Greta are trying unsuccessfully to get the brothers to talk.

"Lucas, why don't you tell Mike, about your promotion?" Greta nudges her fiancée, and although he rolls his eyes he complies with the request. Sort of.

"I got a promotion." Greta glares at the love of her life, but shrugs and nods to Carrie. As Lucas returns his gaze to the dance floor.

"Mike, don't you have something to tell Lucas?" She smiles at her husband, amazed that after all these years, how stubborn both men still are.

"No." Mike let's his eyes wander, until he feels a sharp heel on his toe. "I mean, yes, we'll be returning to Salem for a little while, kind of a vacation."

"GOD DAMN."

"LUCAS! can you pretend to get along."

Lucas looks back at the group confused. "What, never mind LOOK!" He points the dance floor and everyone follows his gaze and are stunned by what they see.

Walking through the center of the dance floor is Chloe Lane, dressed in an off the shoulder blue gown that showed more leg then should legal. The most amazing part beside the fact that Chloe standing in the same room as them, but that as if she felt their stares she looked up right at them, and clearly recognizing them she turned right on her heel and fled in the opposite direction.

Lucas and Mike jump up and began running toward her when John steps in front of them. "Guys, calm down and think about this."

"Think nothing, that's my sister." Pushing his boss out the way Lucas sprints in the direction Chloe fled in with Mike and the rest of the table hot on his tail.

Elsewhere on the Cortez Estate

Chloe couldn't believe, she had been about to go see some friends of Stefano, when she felt like someone was staring a whole in her. She looked up and there they were Salemites, and not just any Salemites, no it was both her brothers, two former best friends, and her ex-boyfriends parents. Not thinking of Stefano's friends she had just bolted, looking up she realizes that she had walked into the courtyard.

She had hoped to find Mac, or anyone, but no luck.

Sitting down on the bench she once again tries to remember just why she left Salem, only hours after her surgery, but her mind was still a blank. Frustrated at her inability to remember she looks up at the sky, trying to recapture the happiness she felt earlier tonight.

"Hey Chlo." She looks up and finds Lucas standing in the courtyard with the rest of the Salemites just behind him.

"Hi Lucas." She looks past him to her other brother. "Mike."

Mike moves to stand besides Lucas." Did you hear that Lucas, she remembers us." He glances sideways at Lucas and sees his nod.

"Yeah, she does seem to know us." He walks further into the courtyard. "Do you know who we are?"

Chloe rolls her eyes at the question." Of course I know who you are, you're my brother Lucas and Mike." She shrug's her shoulders.

Belle enters the scene holding Shawn's hand. "Do you know us Chloe?"

"Yes, do I need to do a roll call." At their nod "Fine, Shawn, Belle, Mike, Lucas, Greta, Carrie, Dr. Evans-Black, and Mr. Black."

She gets and moved toward the exit. "It was good seeing you, have fun."

"I don't think so." Mike steps in front of Chloe, thrilled beyond believe to be standing this close to he sister, but confused at her cold reaction to them.

"What's going on Chloe, we've missed you, we've been looking all over for you." Lucas tries to mask the hurt at his sister's indifference, but can't. "We have you been?"

"Here, there, everywhere."

"No, I don't accept that, Craig and Nancy have been worried sick, Nancy had a nervous break down." At the mention of her parents Chloe's eyes widen and then begin to tear up and she turns away, "Chlo, come on." Lucas turns her around and stares into her eyes, but seeing the tears is too much for him he wraps her in his arms and hugs her as tight as he can trying to make sure that she's real. He pulls back and wipes the tears form her eyes. "What's going on?"

"CHLOE!"

"CHLOE, WHERE ARE YOU?"

Chloe breaks away from Lucas and steps back. "HERE, IN THE COURTYARD."

Seconds later a young man with jet-black hair and light brown eyes in his twenties comes into the courtyard. Followed closely by Mac.

Chloe goes to him, and turns to the group.

"Here's what's going on." She takes his hand." This is my fiancé." Taking a deep breath she looks directly at Lucas." Christian DiMera."
