Part 12
Later in the evening after an eventful dinner where EJ asked the kids if they'd like to stay here with him and Will as a family which resulted in Johnny asking if that meant they could go swimming in the pool everyday which caused lots of excitement over living in a house again with the pool and private beach.
EJ promised that tomorrow after work they'd all go to the pool or beach, which ever the kids wanted and they were sold. They couldn't wait for their rooms and to be living here everyday again that Sami wondered how they were going to get settled down to sleep tonight.
"Well that went well. " Sami laughed.
"Well bribery with a pool works every time. " EJ joked back.
"You got them all worked up so, daddy you're on bedtime duty tonight. "
"Easy, just tell them no pool unless they go to sleep on time. That will work. "EJ suggested.
"Good luck with that. " Will said as he walked into the living room ready for this real will reading to be over with already. "I heard Johnny telling Ali that once you both go to sleep they can grab Mary and go to the pool while you don't know and are asleep. " Will pointed out seriously.
"The children are scheming against us? " EJ laughed proudly.
"Well they belong to you two and they're Stefano's grandkids. If you expect any of them to be boring and obedient I got a bridge to sell you. Will told them truthfully as they all sat around the living room waiting for the show to start.
Before dinner they had gone over the latest set of DNA results that EJ had commissioned that day and put a rush on it. Not surprising to any of them when they opened the envelopes, they all had the same results as Stefano's batch of tests.
Ali was 99.8% EJ's daughter, she was the full sibling to Johnny, half sibling to Will.
Also what EJ didn't bring to the dinner table was his own DNA results using Stefano's DNA on file which concluded that he was a 99.8% match as Stefano's son.
EJ had no doubt that Stefano knew this all along, he just still didn t know why he wanted EJ to think otherwise.
Mr. Jenkins was due to arrive shortly, along with Abe, Lexie, Chad, Kate and whoever they brought with them. Stefano's second letter was set to be read.
"Nicole knows she has no more Dimera money. " Sami blurted out into the silent room. "She was at the pub and I happen to be there while she was going to pay and her card got rejected. "
"You enjoy yourself? " EJ asked with a smirk.
"Of course. " Sami smiled back, as the doorbell rang and they all looked up.
"Hope they restocked the bar. " Will mumbled going to grab a drink as Abe, Lexie, and Chad all came in together. Greeting Sami and EJ, EJ helping Lexie sit comfortably on the sofa and instantly trying to get her anything she needed. Will and Sami both noticed the concern and outpouring of love EJ had for his sick sister.
"It's going to kill him. " Sami whispered as they looked at them chatting close to each other while Abe and Chad stood awkwardly in the back.
The bell rang again and in came Kate with Lucas which was a situation she didn't expect tonight. Followed by Nicole with Rafe, which surprised Sami, but EJ when she looked at him seem to know she was coming.
"Lucas what are you doing here? " Sami asked harshly sharing a look with Will who also didn't look comfortable with his presence. While Rafe and Nicole just looked awkward and out of place taking a spot in the corner not bothering to say hello to anyone.
"I'm here for my mother Sami. Her husband died and this is his will reading. " Lucas pointed out. Sami didn't buy it, she knew that Lucas suddenly decided to show up tonight with his mother because it's where she and Will were going to be.
Sami took a seat in an arm chair not wanting to get into it with Lucas tonight, but knowing it was going to be inevitable especially with the children upstairs.
Mr. Jenkins came in shortly thereafter again greeting EJ first then surprisingly coming to Sami next to greet her and Will as Kate and Lucas scowled at the act.
"We're here tonight to read the last will and testament of Stefano Dimera. " Mr. Jenkins started. As EJ came and stood behind Sami's chair a move that made Lexie raise her eyebrows at her baby brother and smile.
