He should have known, it was Sami after all. As soon as she heard that Tony DiMera was on the island she was determined to search his mansion, or rather the replica of the DiMera Mansion. He tried to talk her out of it, Marlena tried; even Alice couldn't get through to his stubborn girl. She was her father's daughter apparently, so instead of letting her go off to get herself killed, he decided to go with her.

That's where they were now, searching the tunnels for some sort of answer. Roman took a moment to reflect on the marvel that was his daughter. She was determined to find a way back to her son, but he had a feeling there was more, like Lucas, maybe. He knew they had been getting closer and he was happy for his daughter, he really was. It was just the thought of Lucas led to thoughts of Kate.

Kate was his wife, he loved her, but did he love her enough? He felt so guilty right now because he was enjoying this time. He, Sami, and Marlena were living together in the penthouse, just like when Sami first came home from Colorado, minus Carrie of course. They were acting like a real family. This was how he always wanted it, to grow old with Doc. He always wondered what would have happened if he hadn't left after Marlena's affair came out in the open. If he had stayed to fight for his family, what would have happened? More than that, he should have stayed to help Sami through her rape, or at least have come back when he had found out.

Roman had made a lot of mistakes where Sami was concerned, but he knew she knew he loved her. He would give her the world if he could. It was just when he came home to find his little girl calling another man "Daddy" it broke his heart. It was hard to be sympathetic. His head understood the situation, but his heart, all it knew was that his twins wanted someone other than himself as their father. Feeling devastated and helpless, he sent them to Colorado. It wasn't the best plan, but it hurt too much to know that his own children didn't want him.

Now, they were all together acting like a real family and that made the desire to make it permanent ever more persistent. Sami wanted him and Marlena back together. She was positive they still loved each other, and told them so, often. Well she was right, about Roman at least. He couldn't ignore his feelings for Marlena forever; she was the great love of his life.

He could just tell her how he felt. It seemed like she might be feeling the way he was. She'd gush over the flowers he brought in, telling him how sweet he was. Or, she'd stop him at the door to straighten his collar. Now, she'd picked up the habit of kissing his cheek and giving him a thermos of coffee before he left to patrol the perimeter at night. He'd find himself holding his cheek and humming love songs the rest of the night. Maybe she loved him, too. They really needed to talk.

Snapping out of these confusing thoughts he realized that Sami had gotten ahead of him. In fact, his little girl was no where to be seen. Panicking, he hurried down the tunnel, checking the doors on both sides. He had just been reunited with Sami, he couldn't loose her now. What if she was hurt? Or scared? What if Tony had found her? What if the DiMera's did something to her? What if she was kidnapped? Or dead?

Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself. He wouldn't be of any use to Sami if he went to pieces. "What if"'s could kill a man, if he let them. He heard a noise over to his left and saw the door was slightly ajar. Sighing in relief he opened the door to find a blonde head bobbing around the room. He went over and pulled his daughter into a hug.

"Peanut, you scared me. I thought you were lost, or dead, or God knows what. Don't ever run off that like again."

"Daddy, look over there, it's a door."

He let her out of the embrace to investigate. He was about to tell her to let him go first, but she had already tugged on the handle. Of course, it didn't open right away, but with a little manuvering he broke the locks. Roman watched as the shock registered in his daughter. Then she gasped a name he never expected to hear.

"Isabella?"

I hope that was actually a suprise. I don't think there were any hints that Izzy would be there, at least not any intentional ones.
