'"I still don't understand why Ethan couldn't just bring me home." Kristina sighed as she climbed out of Sam's SUV.
"Maybe because of him we are in this mess, what in the world possessed you to fly to another country with a guy you barley know?" Sam asked as she helped Molly with her bag.
"Ethan and I just connected on this level, he has really been helping me these past few weeks. I just wanted to help him, so that is what I did."
"No what you did was just show up on the same plane he was on, which is a little stalkerish, and than invited yourself along." Maxie corrected as the group worked there way up the walkway.
"Maxie, Ethan needed some support while he was going though a tough time. He had just found out that his wife was cheating on him."
"It was a marriage for money, the whole town knows that." Molly sighed tired of the same conversation since they boarded the plane.
"That didn't mean he didn't develop feelings for her."
"All the more reason to not start anything with him." Maxie added as they reached the door.
"Mom and Dad are out at the benefit, right?" Sam asked quietly to the other three.
"Yeah, they will not be home till late. Robin is going to text us when they are on there way home." Maxie explained as she unlocked the front door, "Well that was the trip from hell, I got one day in the sun, the rest of my day was spent... looking at boring school things." Maxie continued once she saw her mother sitting on the couch.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Molly asked as she and the others came to a stop once they saw who was in the living room.
"I just couldn't wait to see my girls." Alexis smiled as she pulled the four into a hug, "And tell them how much trouble they are in." She added as she pulled back, "Did you really think that I would fall for this college trip excuse?" Alexis asked as she pointed to the couch, causing the four to immediately take a seat.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Don't even bother, I know everything. It seems I raised one daughter right."
"Robin?" Maxie asked.
"It seems your sister was upset she wasn't included in this little plan."
"She is always the weak link." Maxie sighed, "Mom, if you think about it we did you a favor, we flew to another country to get Kristina so you wouldn't have too. Another plus is that Jason even brought Ethan home, so dad won't have too."
"What does Ethan have to-do with this?" Alexis asked confused.
"Wait what do you know?" Sam countered.
"I don't think so, the first one to spill gets the deal. The other three will have serious consequences." Alexis announced as she walked around the couch.
"Like that is going to work." Maxie laughed as she leaned back into the couch, "Two of us no longer live here and I am not the one who left the country with someone three years older than me."
"Maxie!" Sam and Kristina called at the same time as they turned towards the blond.
"Always take the bait." Alexis mused as she plopped down on the arm chair.
"Molly go to your room, we are going to have a long talk in the morning. Sam, Maxie, I think it is time for you two to head home."
"Mom, Kristina didn't do anything really. She was trying to help a friend out and just went about it the wrong way." Sam tried as she stood up.
"When Lila runs away with a smooth talking guy, you can have a say" Alexis said.
"Yeah, no guy is getting two feet near Lila. You forget who her father is." Maxie smiled as the three walked onto the porch.
"I know you are trying to help your sister, but it's time Kristina learns her actions have consequences. You two can't always rush to the rescue. So please next time something like this happens come to me or your father." Alexis pleaded.
"Mom, really that little speech has never worked and you are pretty gullible, I mean you actually believe there was a school trip to Aruba, best two weeks of my life. To give you credit you were too busy dealing with Sam's little teen pregnancy was a lot to deal with."
"I am so glad my life is a good diversion for you."
"Oh, don't act so surprised Sam, I am self centered and an opportunist." Maxie admitted as she headed towards the car, "At least I admit it." Sam just sighed as she hugged her Mom goodbye and head back toward the car.
The constant knocking on the door woke Sam from her nap, the past week has definitely caught up to her. Sam sighed as she stood up and headed toward the door. "Why is it that all women in this town can't mind their own business?" Brenda yelled as she barged into the house, "I mean was it necessary to bring Sonny into this? I understand you have your issues with your self esteem to be so threatened by me, but there is no reason to bring in Sonny."
"Brenda if you are going to come barging into my house, you need to lower your voice my daughter is sleep." Sam said as she sat back on the couch, "And I really have no idea what you are babbling on about."
"Sonny has hired a guard to follow me around, so he can protect me."
"I don't see what the problem is than, since you are being protected."
"I asked Jason to help me, I didn't want to go to Sonny for help because I knew it was going to cause problems with him and Carly."
"So causing problems with me and Jason, doesn't matter at all." Sam replied.
"You are the only one causing problems, from what I understand you can't make up your mind if you want to be with Jason or not."
"Here's the deal, you are here for my sister's wedding. So that is going to be the only time we will have to interact. You are going to stay the hell away from my husband and Sonny, because lets face it Brenda none of them want anything to-do with you."
"You don't know anything about my relationship with Sonny and Jason."
"You have been infatuated with Jason since you first moved to town, it didn't matter that we were together, you still went after him and than you moved on to Sonny."
"Sonny and I were each others first loves."
"No Sonny and Carly were high school sweethearts, they were having problems, that's when you saw your opportunity and struck. See the only the thing you didn't relay on was that Sonny and Carly always find their way back to each other."
"I am not her for trips down memory lane." Brenda spat.
"I am just pointing out that Sonny is never going to come back to you, you were just an easy opportunity." Sam hissed as she walked closer to the women, "I think you should leave." Sam replied
"I am not going anywhere, I am here to see Jason and not leaving until I see him."
"I wasn't asking you." Sam sighed as she looked toward the door hoping Jason was coming.
"This is Jason's house not yours, so if anyone is going to ask me to leave it will be him." Brenda replied as she moved to stand in front of Sam.
"What have I done to you to hate me so much?" Sam asked not understanding this women at all.
"It's nothing personal, I just think that Jason can do better. He only married you because you got pregnant and he wanted to-do the right thing for the baby." Brenda explained.
"Who are you to say if I am good for Jason or not?" Sam demanded, "I am sick of you thinking you have a say in everything that goes on in this town. News flash Brenda the world did not stop just because you left town."
"You are just upset because you know I am right." Brenda smirked.
00000000000000000000000000
"Jase, how many times do I have to say I am sorry." Carly begged as she followed Jason up the path to the house.
"You are stalking me now?" Jason asked as he pulled his keys out as soon as he pulled into the driveway he saw the blond waiting for him in his car.
"Well you have been avoiding me." Carly said innocently as she turned Jason to face her.
"You trick me into thinking Sam was leaving me."
"No, I tricked you into going after Sam so you could prove to her how much she means to you and you have this annoying need to always save people and always put their needs before your own and more importantly before Sam's." Carly sighed as she smiled at Jason, "Sonny has guys looking after Brenda now. So you are free to spend time with Sam, Lila and the new baby." Carly smiled and hugged the man,
"Look, it's done." Jason said as he was about to open the door when he heard a yell. Jason flung the door open and immediately stopped at what he saw, Sam was standing over Brenda with a handful of her hair. "Sam." Jason called as lifted his wife off of the women.
"Let me go." Sam said as she struggled against his hold.
"I can't." Jason mumbled into her hair, "Babe, you need to claim down." He tried again, "For our son." He added as he placed a hand on the slight bump of her stomach, immediately calming her down. He turned her towards him to get a better look at her face, noticing that she had a bruise starting to form under her left eye.
"You hit her." Carly yelled once she saw Sam's face.
"Are you kidding me? That is is, she attacks me and that is all." Brenda replied as she stood up.
"You deserve a hell of a lot more than that. " Carly answered, "You punched a pregnant women in the face."
Jason ignored the two women fighting and guided Sam into the kitchen, he lifted Sam onto the counter and walked over towards the freezer to grab some ice. "I am sorry." Sam said softly as she watched him grab the ice.
"Why are you apologizing?" Jason questioned as he turned to face her.
"I shouldn't have had hit her, she just started saying saying things and I got angry." Sam mumbled as she watched him grab a dish towel.
"You have nothing to be sorry for." Jason said softly as he brushed Sam's hair from her face and placed the towel under her eye, "If anyone should be apologizing it should be me, I let other things get in the way and I forgot what really matters. That is you, Lila and this baby." Jason smirked, "I don't know why you continue to put up with me."
"I put to much time into you to leave now." Sam laughed as she grabbed his hand.
"Oh, so that's the only reason you are with me."
"Well, you;re loyal, you're pretty hot, a fantastic father and one of the most amazing man I have ever known." Sam finished as she looked into his eyes. Jason just smirked before lowering his head, just as they were about to kiss but were stopped when a blond came barging into the kitchen.
"What is it with you two?" Maxie asked as she placed the child down, "Every time I enter a room there you two are making out."
"Maxie why are you here?" Sam asked as she slid off the counter and pulled Lila to her.
"I came to see you and to my surprise I find Lila sitting on the stairs cheering Carly on as she and Brenda had a little slapping match going on."
"What?" Jason asked as he headed straight into the living room followed by Maxie.
"Carly." Jason called as he placed his arms around her waist and pulled her away from the fight.
"Now, why did you go and do that?" Maxie asked as she walked over to Brenda.
"Brenda you need to leave." Jason called as he set Carly on the couch and than moved to grab Maxie who was about to slap the women, "And if you need me call me. Don't ever come barging into my house again." Jason called as he headed back into the kitchen.
"It's about damn time you woke up and took care of my sister." Maxie smiled as she turned to Carly, "I am hoping you have a plan in mind."
"Oh you can bet your life on it." Carly smirked.
