Confessions

EJ was on his way to the Brady pub to get his family and take them back home. He had some wonderful news to Samantha and he couldn't wait to share them with her. He stopped to look inside through the window and he saw something disturbing. EJ saw an unhappy Samantha. He took few steps to the door and stepped in.

"Good evening, what's going on in here?" EJ asked and looked everyone carefully before stopping to gaze in Samantha's eyes.

"Dad and Kate are getting married", Samantha said and walked to him. EJ put his arm around her and she put her arm around him. They stood there as an unit ready to take on the world.

"Congratulations", EJ said keeping the tone of his voice neutral.

"What are you up to Wells?" Roman asked squinting his eyes until no one could see them any more.

"I'm leaving town for a day or two. I'm going to go and find my mother and when I return I'm going to marry your daugter as I promised to her."

"You found your mother? How?" Sami interrupted EJ.

"Steve helped, I'll tell you later", EJ whispered before turning to face the fuming Police Commander.

"Over my dead body Wells!" Roman sizzled.

"Then we have a problem since your daughter proposed to me and she's the only one who can call off this wedding", EJ stated calmly.

"Is this all about Stefanos offer?" Shawn senior said suddenly rocking Sarah in his arms.

"What offer?" EJ asked and glanced at Samantha.

"Sami said that Stefano made an offer to her. Something about ending the feud", Shawn said without really realizing what he was giving away. Sami could feel EJ tensing and then searching her eyes for the truth.

"What did my father ask of you?" EJ asked Samantha.

"He said that I was the only one able to make a sacrifice needed to end this feud between our families. Stefano said that the only way to end the feud was to marry you and bring up our children as DiMeras", Samantha spoke the truth fearing for the worst and hoping for the best.

"I see. Again he's gone behind my back without asking me what I want", EJ gritted his teeth and let go of something important. Sami could see the sadness in him taking over.

"It doesn't matter what Stefano asked, it doesn't change anything. Only Samantha can call of everything", EJ said but something was missing from his voice.

"Where were we?" John asked and ended the awkward silence.

"We were about to read Colleens letter to Santo", Hope said and delved around the letter piles until she found the right letter, "Should I read it." Everyone was nodding including Sami and EJ. Sami found a seat for her and EJ and they sat down to listen the last letter Colleen had sent to Santo.

My love,

It's been nearly six months since I last saw you. A moment hasn't gone by without a thought of you in my mind. I miss your touch and I miss your kisses. I miss the way you held me and made me feel better. I even miss those ridiculous hairs you have on your lip. In short, I simply love you Santo and I wish you were here with me and our child.

Why aren't you here? You promised to return and what ever is keeping you can't be more important than our child. I've written to you over and over again but still you are not here. You haven't even sent a word. My family says that you wont come and that I should stop writing and hoping. They say that I should move on with the shame or find a decent Irish man who will have me and your baby.

I can't. I can't give up on you and I can't give up on us. If our love would be anything less I could, but our love is the kind that will haunt us through all our lives. Santo my love, please come and save me, save our daughter. You'll laugh but I know that the baby is a girl. I want to name her Sarah and if you have any objections you've better be here before she's born to voice those objections. I just want you here.

Santo my love, I'm waiting. Yours forever, Colleen
