This Wasn't Supposed to Happen
"Where is she! What the hell have you done to my wife!" The male voice screaming sounded like a child's cry. There was no doubt about it. Lucas had found Sami. She stepped out of the cubicle to meet her ex-fiancé and pulled the curtain to hide the bed from Lucas. Only thing was that he didn't act like an ex. Sami steeled herself for another ordeal. Her face was pale and without make up.
"Lucas, I'm here", Sami said as calmly as she could and turned to talk to the nurses, "it's all right now. No guards are needed. Could you please give us a moment."
"Sure Miss Brady. Just make sure he doesn't bother the patient."
"I will", Sami promised and faced Lucas who seemed somehow smaller and mentally inferior.
"You look like crap!" Was his first comment and curiously it made her want to laugh.
"Thank you Lucas. I've had to wash my face couple of times now and I didn't have any make up with me", she explained.
"What happened to you Sami? I was on my way home when Roman called and told me that you were on your way to the hospital." Lucas sulked like a child again.
"Nothing. I'm fine. I was with someone and dad misunderstood me", Sami carefully avoided pronouncing EJs name.
"You were with someone? Who was it? Don't tell me it was EJ. What are you doing with him, again?" Lucas sounded quite normal saying this. Of course normal sound in his case meant exaggerated shouting. The yelling caused Sami to strike back:
"And I could ask where you were all night last night if you were only just on your way home. I left you a note explaining it all but it's clear that you haven't read it."
"I think it was Bart and few others who forced me to go with them", Lucas was still moping.
"Really? I hope you boys had fun together but I don't really need to know Lucas. The wedding isn't going to happen. I wont marry you", Sami said thinking of an image where Bart escorted Lucas like a child who has behaved badly to his room for a time-out.
"You are not dumping me for that jerk. You are not dumping me period!" The shouting continued and suddenly Sami realized that Lucas wasn't really upset about losing her, he was upset that she was the one breaking up.
"I don't understand how it took me this long to see it. You're nothing but a bully and a mommas boy. I swear, without Will I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you."
"Yes Will. You can't break up with me. If you do that I'll make sure you'll never see our son again nor will you see the baby once it's born", Lucas had reached his last straw.
"Are you sure the baby is yours? I'm not but if he or she is we'll deal with that later. And Will, the son I've worshipped to the point of doing a disservice to him. The son that was conceived in a statutory rape. You knew I was vulnerable and you took advantage of me. And that wasn't even the worst you tried to do to me. You were willing to see me die for something you did. Franco, do you remember him? You and your mother tried to pin his murder on me. I wonder what a judge would say about those."
"Shut it Sami. What about the things you've done? What about the things you've done to me?" Lucas demanded with his voice still climbing. Sami saw the guards approaching.
"Yes Lucas. We are poison to each other but no more. It's over. It's finally over between us. How could have I ever thought that either of you, Austin or you, could make me happy. After all you both are related to Kate. Thank god Austin and Carrie are far far away from her reach. Some distance from her would do you good too Lucas. But I don't care. Take him. Take him away." Her last words were to the guards who dragged Lucas away.
"That was a quite of a speech you made there", a voice commented behind her.
"EJ? I though you were unconscious", Sami turned to see the bruised man on the bed.
"I could hardly miss all the excitement So do you mean it Samantha? Are things over between you and Lucas even if the baby is his?" She tried but couldn't read the emotions on his face. She nodded:
"It's something that never should have happened. I love Will but Lucas and I were never supposed to happen. It was just a dream of Wills and I would do anything for that boy."
"Good for you Samantha. You truly deserve someone better", EJ said and saw her the question on her face. He rushed to put her fears at rest:
"No, I don't mean me. I'm not foolish enough to suggest that but I do think you are far better of without him in your life." Sami was disappointed. She couldn't quite comprehend why but she recognized the emotion. She wondered how could have she been so badly mistaken.
"I still need your help", she said fencing of all the negative emotions. EJ was alive and talking. That was the important thing to remember.
"Oh the reason you bothered to call the paramedics. Thank you Samantha. And I guess I owe you. Now tell me which questions you need answered?" He smirked and suddenly Sami saw the old friend she had pushed away because of his family connections. She gave a laugh of relief.
