Victor and Maggie got Ari, Lucas, and Justin on the bus to school. after some breakfast, they decided to check on Will and see if they could get him to eat something.
When they opened the door, they found a sleeping Will Horton on his bed. He was hugging his surface laptop as if it was a teddy bear, they looked at it to see why he was doing it. It was a picture of Sonny and Will bringing home the twins to meet Ari.
Ari was growing impatient, just like her grandma who was right next to her on her dads' couch. They were sitting there for over a half an hour and Sami wouldn't let her move unless it was to go to the bathroom. Ari was on time out because she ruined Sami's favorite Dress while making a welcome home sign. She was doing what any other 6-year-old would do when they were going to be meeting their new siblings for the first time, but Sami didn't care. She told her to do it at the table and not the kitchen counter, but she didn't listen and ruined the dress, hence the huge time out.
Behind them sat Johnny, Sydney, and Allie. They were at the kitchen counter dreading the outbreak of a Sami vs. Sami junior fight before they met their nephews. They were younger than 18, so they lived with her all the time. And knew when their mom was going to snap. The girls prayed to any god they could to prevent it. Johnny just prayed to his father, E.J DiMera, that he could stop her if she went to punch something like his dad used to.
They heard a knock at the door and Sami yelled, "Finally." She walked over to the door and started to unlock it and said, "I swear they better be cute if you this- oh it's you." To Sami's surprise it was the Kiriakus family at the door instead of her new born grandsons. She yelled something and slammed the door in their faces, and Johnny, Sydney, and Allie ran to the door to let them in.
"I'm sorry about her," Sydney whispered, "she's in the middle of a fight with Miss Sami Junior."
"What did Ari do this time," Justin asked as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Adrienne looked at her husband and sighed, "Did Sami break anything? Something that can actually be replaced?"
"No, I stopped her before she broke a few wine glasses," Johnny frowned and yelled, "She's just being rude!" they heard Sami mumble something under her breath and walked into the guest room she was using so she could take a nap, being mad took a lot out of someone. Three men followed them in as they led them to the kitchen, "Don't talk to Ari or Mom until they both calm down. It's going to be like her and Grandma Kate in here. Thanksgiving is never fun when those two are on the same side of the table"
Allie pointed at the taller of the three men who looked like her brother in law Sonny, "Your Alex?" He gave a nod and excepted the water bottle Johnny was giving him. Then she turned to the twins, one wearing a yellow and blue striped shirt with beige khakis and the other wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans. She pointed to the left one and said, "Vic," and pointed to the right one and said "Joey."
"Wrong," the one on the left said, "I'm Joey."
"And I'm Vic," the other one said. "Stop messing with Allie, you were right the first-time sweet heart. Their maturity level is of a five-year-old, so don't pay them any mind." she heard Justin yelled from across the room. He was holding a sleeping Arianna Grace, who must have fallen asleep from how angry she was. He picked her up and walked her to her princess pink room filled with mountains of unicorns and stuffed animals, "They spoil you rotten, don't they? Well, that's a good thing." He said before giving a kiss on her head and walking out the room.
Moments later they heard another knock on the door, this time Allie went to get it, "Dad!" She screamed giving her dad a big hugged. He dropped his duffle bag and gave his little girl a hug. "Hey baby girl, did I miss it? Are they here?" they all shook their heads no, which relaxed Lucas so now he was catching his breath from all the running he had to do to get there.
When he finally caught his breath he spoke, "Sami is pissed off isn't she?"
"What?" Adrianne mumbled, "How?"
"Adrienne, I was married to her, and I have this little girl," he said while tickling his seventeen-year-old daughter, "and Will. I know when she's mad." They all laugh until the hear people talking outside the four-bedroom apartment.
"I think he's going to be a good baby," Will said while holding Justin, "He slept the whole way here."
"You know you just jinxed it now, Will?" Sonny laughed, "You're staying up with him."
"Your helping me," he said as he kissed Sonny and pulling out his keys, "Oh no."
"Will? Did you forget your keys or something because I can run to the car?"
"No, Mom is mad." They heard the instant silence coming from their apartment and heard someone say, "He isn't even in the room, how does he know?" they quietly laughed and opened the door to be greeted their family. Ari woke up soon after and thought she was going to be like Allie and have a brother and a sister, but it didn't matter she loved them anyway.
"We can't wake him," Maggie said taking the laptop from his arms and laying it down on the couch and a putting a pillow under his head, "Can you call Chad, Ben and T? Maybe they can help, the funeral in a few days. He needs all the support he can manage"
Victor nodded, they left and closed the door.
