"EJ wins everything doesn't he? Daddy fixed everything for him. " Lucas asked Sami disgustedly as he and Kate walked out of the living room and slammed the front door.
Leaving Sami, Will, Chad who is still sitting quietly in the corner just observing and soaking all the drama of his family in and Lexie who was still smiling and Abe who looked ready to be going home.
"Lexie, is there anything I can get you? " Sami asked her after letting out a sigh of relief that Lucas and Kate were gone.
"No, Sami, thank you but I think I've had enough excitement for one evening. We should be getting home to Theo. "
"Come on Chad, we'll give you a lift. " Abe called out to him as Chad slowly nodded and got up walking out the room without another word, just a glance towards Will and Sami.
"Take care of my brother, "Lexie whispered to Sami as she hugged her good bye. "Tell EJ that I will talk to him tomorrow and would love to spend time with my nieces and nephew. Theo would love playtime with his cousins too. " She said as she hugged Will as well on her way out and they departed.
Sami and Will looked at each other and Sami just started to laugh.
"Stefano and his mundane letter. "She giggled shaking her head as she walked towards the bar.
"Tell me about it, hate to think what he calls exciting. " Will said as he said down and put his feet up on the coffee table.
While Sami poured herself a drink, hearing the footsteps and knowing EJ was coming back she poured a second one.
As he walked back into the living room seeing that everyone had gone. Sami gave him a smile and handing him the glass.

"Thank you. " He told her as he sat down on the sofa, Sami plopping down in the middle of the two of them. Sitting in silence.
"Can we go to my island? That sounds good right about now. " Sami suggested to the men after five minutes of not a word being spoken.
She was worried about what tomorrow will bring. Her entire family will find out that she's married to EJ, they'll find out Ali's his child, they'll find out Will is now a Dimera. She wasn't looking forward to another day of fighting, but she'd handle it.
"No, now we get to work and are spending the day with the kids tomorrow at the pool. We'll have lots of time to visit your island in the future. The kids would love it, blue water, open air, trampolines in the ocean, it would be a dream come true for them. "
"May be in a few months? " Sami suggested. Thinking it would be a great idea to get out of Salem and all the family drama for a little while, after EJ loses Lexie he's going to need some time.
"Sounds like a great idea. " He smiled. Knowing that she wanted to give him something to love forward too, fun family time with the kids. "The kids asleep? " Sami asked,
"Of course, pool blackmail worked. " EJ replied while glancing at Will and giving him a serious look that Will understood and decoded.
"My dad threw a tantrum declaring he was going to go to court to get Ali and he also didn't want her to stay here at all. Mom wasn't fazed and told him to take her to court, Grandma Kate asked her why she wasn't scared. Dad threatened some more, Mom told him Ali wasn't going to go anywhere because he wasn't her dad. More yelling about you winning everything and they left. Lexie says to tell you that she'll talk to you tomorrow and she was pretty happy when she left with the marriage and new niece news. Chad didn't say anything at all, he seemed pretty lost or scared of his family. " Will summed up for EJ.
" I'm sorry Samantha that you had to handle all that on your own. " He told her softly and resting his hand on hers for comfort. EJ felt what Samantha felt when they touched, looking at each other.
EJ knew this time was different, they were both different and when they got settled and hopefully life slowed down a little, they would become the couple they were destined to be again.
They just needed to deal with their very busy reality right now and then he'd focus on showing Samantha how much she meant to him and has always meant to him, even if it meant declaring his father right which despite EJ s disproval of Stefano s methods he was right all along about him and Samantha, and his feelings for her.
"Don't be, you needed some time out of this room trust me I get it. Plus I wasn't on my own, my wonderful son was here to have my back. " Sami smiled at EJ, pulling him from his thoughts.
" I was pretty awesome. " Will boasted making EJ laugh.
"So everything is out? "EJ asked.
"Well not everything. Nobody knows you adopted me and my new name yet. " Will laughed.
"Well tomorrow's another day. " EJ smirked raising his glass to Will. As EJ and Sami both took a drink and Will just laughed at them rolling their eyes.
Tomorrow would be a new day, hopefully not as long as today Sami thought.
But as Stefano saw to it and EJ and Sami agreed to his terms.
They'd conquer tomorrow as a family. Somewhere wherever he was alive or dead, Stefano was saying,
"Checkmate. "
End.
