A/N: Here's the second chapter!

Samantha walked up to the door with Tabitha in one arm and groceries in another. She tried the doorknob.

"Locked?" she asked Tabitha. "Why would your Daddy lock the door when he knew I'd have my hands full when I came home?"
Of course Tabitha didn't answer she was barely 2 and had no response to anything. Sam tried the door again.

"Surely he can hear me." she said to herself. After knocking on the door twice with no response she had a thought. " I'll go the window and see if I can see him..he's probably on the couch."

She walked over to the window and saw Darrin on the couch as she expected. She also saw something she didn't expect. A blonde sitting with him. She wasn't expecting anyone and Darrin was off from work today. Besides, this woman was not dressed like any client for McMann and Tate.

"I wonder who that could be..." Sam pondered this thought until Tabitha began to cry and she became aware that Darrin was at the door calling her name. The blonde was gone.
Darrin opened the door for his wife.

"Sam, I'm so sorry, I didn't know I had the door locked...here, honey, let me help you..." He took the bags from Samantha's hands and ran to put them in the kitchen. Samantha sighed warily. He came back into the room and noticed her staring at him questioningly.

"Is something wrong, Sam?"

Samantha blinked. "Um...Darrin, I'm going to bring Tabitha upstairs...and then I have something to discuss with you," she said.

Darrin shrugged. "Okay," he replied. He sat down on the couch and waited as Samantha brought Tabitha upstairs for her nap. When Samantha came back down, she walked over and stood in front of Darrin with her hands on her hips.

"So...it looked to me like you were having fun while I was gone," said Samantha.

"I beg your pardon?" Darrin asked.

"Darrin, don't play dumb with me! I saw that blonde sitting there next to you! I was watching through the window! I can't believe you would do something like this! Mother was right all along!"

"But, Sam, that blonde was---"

"And don't even TRY to tell me that was one of your CLIENTS. I'm not going to fall for it this time, Darrin Stephens!"

And with that, Samantha snapped her fingers and disappeared.

"Sam? SAMANTHA! Where'd you go?" Darrin sighed and buried his face in his hands.

Darrin didn't move for a long time. He just stood there in the entry hall not knowing what to do. His wife was gone. where to, he couldn't say because with Samantha you could never be too sure. It took him awhile but his anguish slowly melted into anger.

"She didn't even let me explain! That was her cousin! her own flesh and blood who I'd never be attracted to in a million years! How could she think such a thing...selfish..so sure of herself..NO GOOD WITCH!"

"You called Durweed?" in a puff of smoke Darrin's witchy mother-in-law Endora appeared. "What do YOU want?" Darrin fumed.

"To see my granddaughter and her mother. what are you doing here. aren't you to be in the race, Mr. Rat?"

"I HAVE THE DAY OFF!" Darrin was not in the mood to answer any of his mother-in-law's questions.

"No need to get huffy Dumbo..it was just a question. where is Samantha?"

"not here."

"not here? what do you mean not here? where else would she be?"

"i don't know Endora..you tell me. where do witches go when they leave their mortal husbands?" "leave? you? Samantha wouldn't..after all these years..not my daughter."

"well you're wrong because she's gone." Darrin by this time had moved himself to the couch and sat down. Endora stood beside him trying to hide her pleasure at hearing the news of her daughter's departure. Then she had a thought. "if she's gone she's unhappy." she said aloud.

"what?"

"oh nothing Digby. you wouldn't understand..i must fly." and with that she was gone.

Darrin decided to go upstairs and see if there were any signs of his wife's departure. all her clothes were there..her picture still in it's frame. but something was missing. what was it? he walked down the hall to Tabitha's room. Tabitha was gone.

"She took Tabitha, too," Darrin muttered. This had to be the end, if she had taken their own daughter with her. Samantha must have really left!

"Fine...just FINE...If she doesn't wanna hear me out on what I have to say, then she'll never know the truth...that's her loss..." he thought. He couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness sting his heart---despite how angry he was that his wife wouldn't listen to him, he still couldn't help but miss her already. Darrin began to wonder where his witchly mother-in-law had 'popped' off to.
Usually Endora liked to stay a lot longer and annoy Darrin in any way possible. He had a feeling that Endora knew exactly where Samantha was...
