It's almost over, only a few more entries.
Settling back in her seat, Sami quickly decided that this was the best plane she had ever been on. It was just a regular plane, like any other in the world, but it seemed so much better. Maybe it was because this was the plane that was taking her to the most wonderful home in the world where the two most important men in her life were waiting. She couldn't wait to sweep Will up into her arms and never let go; of course she supposed she would have to eventually.
She'd missed her little boy so much. This had been the first summer in years she hadn't spent the days anticipating a letter or a phone call from his camp; it was even worse than that horrible summer he went to Africa to visit Bill with Lucas. She planned on smothering him so much he'd get sick of her in no time. For at least the next month she and Eric would spend an hour on the phone everyday, maybe she could even get him to visit. He was going to be thrilled when he found out about their parents, both sets.
All in all, some good things came out of this unplanned trek to the Caribbean. Her mom and dad had finally seen what she had all along. Evil Kate would never get her hands on her father again. Izzy-B was alive, which was the greatest miracle to happen this summer. She and John were back together, which was how it should be. Both sets of parents were with the right person and for the first time in years she didn't feel guilty for loving them all. Sami finally felt okay with having two dads, and two moms. It was actually really great. Her stay at the island had had some pleasing results, but that didn't mean it wasn't torture being away from Will and Lucas.
Everything always seemed to come back to Lucas. No matter how hard she tried to expel him from her mind, from her heart, nothing worked. Every night she would dream about him. The fantasies that popped into her head were so vivid she was blushing just thinking about them. When she had trouble sleeping she had to imagine being in Lucas's arms so she could get back to sleep.
It was ridiculous how much time she spent thinking about him. She had never needed someone so much in her life, it was terrifying. It was like he was her oxygen, and without him she would die. Sami knew it was useless to think she could ever get over him, she just hoped he needed her as much as she needed him.
The pilot announced that they were landing and the passengers took that as their cue to buckle their seat belts. Looking around she saw John and Isabella talking excitedly, most likely about Brady. Her mom and Dad were whispering quietly, probably discussing Kate. Maggie, Hope, and Alice were sitting together looking as happy as clams. Cassie and Grandma Caroline were talking. They had actually bonded a lot on the island.
Sami wasn't sure how she felt about her new sister. She had a bit of an attitude, but who was she to talk. Doug and Victor were discussing something; it was funny how they had all bonded. She wasn't sure she had ever even seen Doug and Victor in the same room before, let alone chatting like old friends.
She hadn't interacted with Victor much since she got here, but she would always be eternally grateful that he had stopped spouting all that nonsense about loving her grandmother. Unfortunately, she had seen him looking at a picture of Kate, which could mean trouble for her, but now was a time to be happy so she wouldn't think about that. Bo, Tek, Abe and Jack were shooting the breeze cheerfully; she seemed to be the only introverted one. Maybe she had more to think about than the rest, or maybe they were just able to relax, which she couldn't seem to do.
The plane finally landed and she followed the other passengers off into the open area. Obviously, the other citizens of Salem weren't very patient either, as they had all gathered outside, a few feet away. Sami didn't see Abe or Jack run to Lexie and Jen, along with their children. She didn't catch Grandpa Shawn coming to Caroline. She didn't see Kate surprisingly go with Philip to Victor. Doug and Julie's, along with Mickey and Maggie's reunions were lost on her as she went straight for the most beautiful little boy she had ever seen.
She was so happy that she actually lifted him up and spun him around, something he hadn't let her do since he was 7 or 8. When she finally put Will down, her son stepped away to allow Sami to see Lucas for the first time. John had told her about the funeral. He said repeatedly that Lucas loved her, but that didn't mean she wasn't insecure. It didn't mean she knew how to act when she saw him. Biting her bottom lip nervously, Sami approached the man who wouldn't leave her heart.
