Part 8
"Now what? " Will asked blankly not knowing where to even go from this point. Too much to process first thing in the morning.
"Now, we have some decisions to make. " EJ stated. "Although I think your mother has already made one concerning Nicole. " EJ looked on as Sami sat there, he saw her manipulative gears moving and knew she was formulating a plan the second she read the news that Nicole's child was her niece or nephew.
"Oh, I have plans for Nicole all right. You just leave her and this situation to me. It's not your problem anyways" she told and pointed to EJ.
"She thinks she's pregnant with your child and passing it off as Rafes, she doesn't know that we know that the baby isn't yours and she may not know herself the baby isn't yours. Let her stew with that for the rest of her life, let her think for the rest of her life that you believe that Rafe's the dad, but that you can swoop in and go all Dimera on her ass if the truth ever came out, let her look over her shoulders for the rest of her life thinking at any moment her secret can come out and you can take that baby. Let her also just try to use it for child support an she won't know what hit her. " Sami smiled wickedly, "the fact that EJ's not the father and Eric is does not leave this room. " Sami stated.
"Mom, you want us to keep Uncle Eric's kid from him? " Will asked surprisingly.
"Your uncle Eric is an idiot, but he doesn't deserve to have his life ruined by that slut. He's in Denver anyways, Nicole doesn't remember or acknowledges him as the possible father and is hell bent on saying Rafe's the dad. So let Rafe be the dad. " Sami laughed, "it will make great fun to watch St. Carrie also deal with the fact the man she's in love with is pretending to be daddy to Nicole's child all as a way to just keep EJ's so-called child from him. When it's not even his. Rafe wanted to take EJ's "child", so let him.
Should Eric choose to return to Salem, we'll revisit the situation then. " Sami smiled as EJ looked on with pride of her plan.
"You really are getting on the making Stefano proud part of that letter aren't you. You're really acting the part of daughter-in-law of Stefano Dimera. " Will pointed out.
"It's what Nicole deserves, and a few other things. " Sami pointed out.
"I'm scared to even ask. " Will sarcastically said.
"Ok, Nicole will be handled. Your mother has this under control. Can we move on to other topics, like living arrangements? " EJ suggested.
"Living arrangements? What do you mean? " Sami asked.
"Well with my takeover of the company, I'd need a bigger base than the apartment. With Ali needing to be a Dimera and we needing to spend time together as father and daughter I'd need her here with me. So logical thing is you and the kids come to live here with William and me where it's also safer. "
"Fine. " Samantha agreed swiftly without a fight.
"Fine? " EJ asked in surprise, usually getting Samantha to move into the mansion is like pulling teeth. He was expecting her to balk.
"Yes, I agree fine, whatever. Isn't that what you wanted? " She said throwing her hands in the air.
"You and Ali will need one on one time together again. She loves you already so hopefully this won't be too hard on her, but it will be easiest if we're all together and showing her that you're her father just like Sydney and Johnny's. "
"Don't forget me, the new bundle of joy. " Will threw in sarcastically.
"You're really grating on my nerves right now Will! And I'm really starting to wonder if you're not really EJ's. " Sami bit back.
"Wouldn't shock me if I was. " Will pointed out.
"Enough. " EJ yelled out before Sami could snipe back. "The two of you in the same house may kill the rest of us. Now living arrangements are settled, let's get Jenkins back in here. "
"What about the fact we're married for the foreseeable future? " Sami asked knowing it was the elephant in the room but also that she'd never ask EJ to give up everything he's worked for all these years just to get them divorced.
They could stay married as long as he wanted to. She didn't want to add onto his turmoil and be the cause of him loosing another thing he cared about on top of Stefano and Lexie, he needed the family business. She wasn't going to be the one to choose to end this marriage.
"We will discuss that in private, later. " EJ stated unsure of what her desires would be regarding their marriage and he wasn't about to lose the empire he has waited to run.
EJ went and called for the lawyer to re-enter the room and provided them with an abundance of documents for them to gloss over.
EJ went instantly to the DNA reports of Ali, going over each page finely and reading every word. Will read over her adoption and change of name forms, while Sami looked over the Countess Whilimena documents signing the company over to her.
EJ ordered new tests to be taken of Will, Ali and himself instantly today. Will was the first to grab a pen and sign his name to his documents approving of the adoption and his changing of his last name to Dimera.
"William Roberts-Horton Dimera" he whispered to himself. "I like it. " He smirked, "it fits me. "
EJ had an equal smile to his face as he also signed the approval of the adoption contract while Sami witnessed it.
"Congrat's it's an 18 year old boy. " Will laughed to EJ patted him on the back, while Sami looked on. EJ and Sami then proceeded to sign the documents for Ali's name change, knowing that DNA test was going to be just a formality considering all the different copies of reports Stefano had stating the same thing. EJ was Ali's biological father according to every lab in town. Signing it now was just going to make one less worry they d have later.
EJ signed all the paper work labelling him as Stefano's heir and takeover of all the accounts and holdings. Sami wondered with glee how Kate was going to take all this, sorry wifey no half of his assets for you. " She mumbled with a smile as she saw EJ sign everything while she signed her own documents.
Jenkins pulled out one more handing to her, one she didn't know what it was. As she began to read she just shook her head and went along with it. If everyone else was going to be a Dimera, she might as well embrace it herself. Signing her own name change documents that labelled her name official as back to being Samantha Gene Dimera.
Knowing this would show EJ she was abiding by Stefano's game and wasn't going to fight him. She wasn't going to be the reason he lost everything, it may be odd and unconventional but they'd stick with this marriage as long as EJ deemed necessary.
"Which contract is that? " EJ asked looking up with his glasses on he glanced over all the contracts that were signed and wondered why there was one he missed that was extra.
"Just my own name change. " Sami smiled at him while handing the papers over to him. Knowing EJ would understand what it means when he read it, that it was her giving in and agreeing to the marriage and Stefano s terms.
EJ smiled at it while reading it before saying "you never cease to surprise me Samantha. "
Knowing that she was doing this for him and their children.
As he took it along with everything else and handed it to Jenkins for him to file with the judge to approve. He said his goodbyes and stated that he'd be back in the evening for the formal will reading with the rest of the family. Leaving the now official 3 Dimera's in the living room alone once again.
"Well, since I am the owner now I suppose I can take the day off to pack. "Sami suggested wondering where to start. She now had to move all of her and the children back to the mansion. "Unless EJ needs me right now, I can help you get the stuff mom. " Will offered.
"That's fine, William good idea. I won't need you until the board meeting later this afternoon. Also we should keep Ali's parentage between us for now, until the final results come in this evening. "
"That's for the best. " Sami agreed.
"You want me to be with you at the board meeting? " Will asked in surprise.
"Yes, right hand remember? You will also be needing to change into a suit, so while helping your mother take some of that Dimera money and go get quite a few. "
"I can help with that, shopping I am good at. Why don't we meet at the Square at 3, gives us time to pack, get some shopping done and we can eat before you go to your meeting and I pick up the kids to bring them back here and try to explain everything. " Sami suggested.
"Sounds like a plan. " EJ stated as he just turned to go into the study with a stack of documents while Sami and Will turned to leave the mansion.
