Chapter 4

Everything is going as planned. Sami and Lucas are getting married. I'm only doing this for their own good. If they stopped fighting for one minute, they would realize that they loved each other. I hated to threaten Kate and Marlena like that, but they will understand when Sami and Lucas live happily ever after. Kate had plenty of secrets I could reveal, so getting her on board was no problem. I was surprised at what Marlena was hiding in the closet, though. Once I told her what I knew, she would have done anything I wanted. Both of them should just come clean with everybody. Why is everyone so prideful and stubborn? I wouldn't have to do anything if people didn't hide things. Well, that's Salem for you.

Lucas woke up feeling very refreshed and energetic, and then angry and depressed. I have to propose to Sami today. Well, my day just went down the crapper.

Sami, too, woke up happy until she remembered what was on her day's agenda. Why me, God? Am I that awful of a person to be punished like this? Well, even though she may not like Lucas, at least he wasn't bad looking. She'd never let him know it though. I have got to get to the bottom of this. Someone has got a hold on my mother and Kate and I'm going to find out whom it is that is making us do this.

That evening, while Lucas was getting ready, he started to wonder what it would be like to be married to Sami, the old Sami, that is. I wouldn't mind being married to her. She was a great friend, my only friend. We could talk for hours about nothing and she would listen to me, but that Sami is gone. Vindictive and self-destructive has replaced gentle and kind. I just hope she doesn't kill me tonight when I propose.

Sami heard a knock at the door. Right on time, as usual. I wish that Lucas and I could get along, if only for Will's sake. He's been through so much. Well Lucas promised to play nice so I will too, for Will.

She opened the door. "Hi Lucas."

Wow! She looks beautiful. She was wearing a sleeveless blue satin dress that was very form fitting. She always was pretty, but tonight she looked absolutely beautiful.

"Lucas? Hello? Are you okay?"

Crap! I must have been staring. "Uh..yeah..I'm fine. You look amazing," he said without thinking.

She blushed at his compliment. She had gone out of her way to look nice. "Thank you. Um, you look nice too." More like delicious. She blushed at her own thoughts. He always did look good in black suits. "I'll just grab my wrap and we can go."

"I'll be right here."

What is wrong with me, she thought, as she got her wrap? It's just Lucas. You don't even like him. Not one bit. So get it together. Yeah, like that will happen with him looking so gorgeous. Sami, stop it!

"Ready?"

"Yes, let's go."

She couldn't believe it when they got there. It was so beautiful! It is such a romantic place, though. And we definitely aren't involved in a romance…right?

"Lucas, this place is beautiful."

He was too busy looking at her to hear what she said. "Huh, oh yeah it is." Stop staring you idiot.

"Sami, would you like to dance?"

Dance with Lucas? They were both horrible dancers. Well, why not? "Sure."

As they were dancing, they slowly got closer and closer until you couldn't fit a sheet of paper between them. They were both thinking about how good it felt to be in each other's arms again. At the exact same moment, they looked up into each other's eyes and Lucas started to lean in and was going to kiss her when the song ended and they pulled away.

Dinner was lovely. They talked about Will and how much he has grown.

Lucas figured this was the perfect time to pop the question. "Sami, I know that neither of us want to get married right now and it's going to be very difficult for us to get married. Even though we are getting married for the wrong reason, there's something I would still like to ask you. Samantha Gene Brady, will you marry me?" He then pulled out the beautiful ring and slipped it on her finger.

Why was she tearing up? This wasn't even a real proposal. It was nice of him to give me a proposal though. And the ring is so beautiful; it must have cost him a fortune. Oh crap I haven't answered him. "Yes Lucas, I will marry you," she said giving him a smile.

My mother's right. Every woman deserves a romantic proposal. "Well even though we are being forced to get married, I thought at least deserved a ring and a nice proposal."

"Thank you Lucas. That was very thoughtful and I love the ring."

Sami was having a wonderful time, especially with this new rock on her hand. It is so gorgeous. Then she remembered that she had to tell Lucas about the baby they were supposed to have.

He had missed talking to Sami like this. It was almost like it used to be. Then Sami got this look on her face. Well it has to end sometime. "Sami, are you okay?"

"Lucas, I have to tell you something. Something important."

What could possibly go more wrong than it already has? "What is it? Is your family okay?"

"No, they are all insane." She said under her breath.

"What did you say?"

"They're fine. It was my mother, though who told me this though."

Oh no our mothers probably dropped another bombshell. "Well, what did she have to say?"

No beating around the bush Sami. Just tell him straight out. "Wehavetohaveababywithintwoyearsafterourmarriage."

Then something totally unexpected happened. Lucas passed out.
