I haven't updated in a while because I wrote the chapter then when I was clearing out old writing I accidentally deleted the new chapter, so it's taken me a while to re-write it. P.S Madi is pronounced, Mad-e, I spelt it this way since it's how my friend, the characters name sake, spells it.

This one has some swearing in it.

Chapter 5:Welcome to the Family Madi, sort of.

Lucas woke up to a emptiness in his arms.

"Sami" Lucas called quietly, not wanting to wake up Madi.

"Yeah" she said walking from her bedroom with Madi.

"What time is it" he asked scratching the back of his neck.

"Ummm, almost 8:00pm I believe, I was just going to get Will then start dinner" Sami said handing Madi to Lucas.

"You should have woke me up, I could have helped get Madi ready" he said staring down at the baby's smiling face.

"You looked too peaceful, I didn't want to disturb you" she said pulling on her jacket.

"Will's at the pub, why don't we just get dinner there" Lucas said giving Madi back to Sami, reluctantly. Babies always reminded him of Will when he was younger.

"Yeah, I think so, today has been to long of a day and I don't think I could cook this tired" she yawned.

"So are you can never cook?" Lucas smirked,

"You are such a jerk," she said unable to hold back a smile.

The pub:

Sami and Lucas walked into the Brady pub, Madi sleeping peacefully in her arms. When they noticed that John, Marlena, Kate and Roman were all there, Sami's relaxed posture going ridged was not a movement that when unnoticed by Lucas. He knew this was not going to be easy.

"Great" Sami muttered at she readjusted Madi in her arms.

"So its true, some idiot really gave you a child" Kate spat.

That was when the fighting all began.

"Some idiot Kate, the only idiot I know is you!" Sami Snapped.

"Don't talk to Kate that way" Roman growled at Sami.

"Oh, yeah, always protecting your whore" Sami spit back.

"Samantha" Marlena gasped.

The bickering continued, phrases like "you don't deserve a child Sami" from Kate, an "Shut the hell up" From Sami, and "you bitch" coming from both. And odd nasty, "you can't care about anyone but yourself, let alone a baby" comments from John. Rubbing his temples Lucas was just about to step in when Madi started to cry. Immediately steeping into mommy mode tried to calm the crying baby ignoring the snide marks coming from Kate, until she went to far.

"See, I told you all, she can't take care of this baby, she can't even stop it from crying".

"Well I can't really blame her she just woke up and the first thing she heard and saw was you, that could make anyone cry" Sami smirked.

"You bitch" Kate yelled lunging at Sami completely forgetting about Madi in her intended victims arm when a loud, booming and obviously Irish voice was heard though out the pub.

"That is enough". Everyone turned to see Shawn and Caroline standing looking at the group, all looked ashamed except for Sami who was still trying to calm Madi down.

"Sami, take care of her upstairs, I'll talk to the rest of 'em now" her said sending a angered glare over the group.

Upstairs:

Sami walked around with the crying infant and saying soft comforting words to her trying to get her to calm down.

"Try singing to her, it always help when you were a baby" Caroline smiled from the doorway.

Sami gave a week smile to her grandmother and started humming a tune, not remembering the words but she knew the tune. Eventually the child fell into a peaceful sleep.

"I think that was a Christmas song" Caroline whispered as she smiled.

"Yeah but it was all I could think of at the moment, pulse it work". Sami whispered too.

"Sami, for whatever it means to you, I know you're a great mother, your grandpa and I both. There's proof just a couple doors down." Caroline smiled down and brushed the baby's forehead with her hand. She looked up to Sami shocking blue eyes, starting to water.

"It means the world to me" Sami whispered.

"Mom", Sami looked to the face of a shocked Will who was standing at the door.

"uhh" Sami said

Downstairs:

Shawn had been tearing into them for the past few minutes about fighting in front of the baby.

"Most of all, I don't understand why your fighting about it Sami's a good Mother" Shawn said exasperated.

"Shawn do you really think she can raise that child, she's too irresponsible and childish herself" John said.

"So she was more suited when she was 17?" Shawn asked.

When no response came from the crowed he continued " she did an amazing job with Will and she is a good mother, and yes she might not be able to do it alone, but me and Caroline are going to be there for them since there family, a word you have seem to have forgotten the meaning to, and Lucas why are you standing here, shouldn't you be up there with Sami and you son?"

Lucas nodded and headed up the stairs as he reached the top he saw Sami holding a sleeping baby and a very confused Will looking on.

"Dad, what's going on" Will asked looking to his father.

"Uhhh" was all Lucas could manage.
