"The fact that we had sex."

Arianna:

"Oh okay that's good."

"What's wrong?"

"There was a shooting at the hospital. I need to go check on Nicole."

"I just need to. Will you be here when I get back?"

"I don't know EJ."

"Is there something wrong darling?"

"We…."

"What have I done?"

"Are those for me?"

Brady:

"Yep finally I can give them to you."

Brady sits them down on the table.

Sami:

"Oh yeah the nurses kept saying that this hunky blue eyed man kept coming to my room while I was out."

Sami and Brady laugh.

Brady:

"I have blue eyes? Really?"

They laugh again.

Brady:

"So you're getting better I hear."

Sami:

"Yep all the test seem to be going well. Just waiting for Dr. Horton to get here he's suppose to have my results. Apparently he's involved in some emergency so I have to wait. Can you believe that?"

Brady:

"No I can't believe that Dr. Horton would have an emergency at the hospital."

Sami:

"Ha ha."

Brady:

"Well it's good to know you're back to your old self."

Sami:

"Almost just need to get out of here so I can be with my kids. I miss them even though sometimes they can drive you nuts with the screaming and the mess, but I love the screaming and the mess."

Brady:

"Really?"

Sami:

"You'll understand one day when you become a dad."

Brady:

"Well I guess this is a good time to tell you that I'm about to become a dad."

Sami:

"What? Oh my gosh. Arianna's pregnant? Good thing EJ got the chargers dropped against her."

Brady:

"It's not Arianna. It's Nicole."

Sami's eyes get bigger with shock.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: WAITING ROOM

Will:

"I think maybe you should have a lawyer. Isn't that how that goes?"

Mia:

"Will it's fine. It's time I come forward, but I want you here if that's okay."

Bo:

"It's fine."

Mia's relieved.

Bo:

"I'm guessing Colin was the one that attacked you at Maggie's."

Mia:

"Yes he was."

Bo:

"Why did he attack you?"

Mia takes a deep breath.

Mia:

"He was mad at me for changing the plan. He wanted to be in control."

Bo:

"What was this plan exactly?"

Mia:

"To get revenge on Nicole DiMera."

Daniel and Carly interrupt.

Carly:

"Surgery was a success."

Bo, Will, and Mia look at them.

Daniel:

"We were able to remove the bullet with minimum bleeding."

Bo:

"Great so when can I question him?"

Carly:

"As soon as he's awake."

Bo:

"Perfect."

Carly:

"I'll let you know when he's awake."

Bo:

"Thanks."

Carly and Daniel walk out of the room.

Carly:

"Oh shoot I forgot about Chloe."

Daniel:

"What about her?"

Carly:

"I'm performing her amino."

Daniel:

"Oh yeah she told me that she was getting one. Didn't know that you were going to do it."

Carly:

"Are you going to be there?"

Daniel:

"A part of me wants to then there's a part that says I don't give a damn."

Carly:

"I think you should."

Daniel:

"Why?"

Carly:

"Because I think the part of you that wants to is stronger than the one that doesn't give a damn."

Daniel stares at Carly. Bo continues to question Mia.

Bo:

"Okay now back to this plan. Getting revenge on Nicole DiMera. This was Colin's idea wasn't it?"

Mia:

"Yeah it was."

Bo:

"How did you two meet?"

Mia flashes back.

Mia:

"On the pier. I had just came back from visiting Grace's grave. I was sitting on the bench crying when he approached me. He gave me some tissues. He wanted me to confide in him, but I didn't want to. I got up to leave and knocked over his bag. He had a picture of Nicole, it fell out. I stared at it. He asked if I knew her and I said yes. He told me…."

Colin:

"…I knew her too. I loved her once. She betrayed me though. She tried to kill me so she can be with a much richer man. She shot me and left me for dead then went on and married Victor Kiriakis."

Mia:

"That's awful. I thought what she did to me was worst."

Colin:

"What exactly did she do to you?"

Mia:

"She wanted to adopt my baby and I believed her, but instead she took my baby and switched her with another woman's baby and took hers to raise as her very own daughter. Of course she didn't tell anybody…not even when my daughter died. It was another 5 months before I found out the truth and she never said she was sorry. All she did was make the whole thing about her feeling bad about her miscarriage."

Colin:

"And she got away with it of course."

Mia:

"She went to prison for a little while, but in my opinion she didn't pay enough."

Colin:

"Well if you want to get payback, you can help me."

Mia comes back.

Mia:

"So I agreed."

Bo:

"What exactly did you agree to?"

Mia pauses.

Sami:

"No you didn't sleep with that bitch."

Brady:

"I did and now we're going to have a baby."

Sami:

"You can't believe that. Nicole can't have kids."

Brady:

"Apparently Dr. Baker lied to her. She can have kids and now she's having ours."

Sami:

"You can't believe that you're the only chose in fathers."

Brady:

"Okay so who's the other father?"

Sami:

"EJ DiMera."

Brady:

"Really? You know this how?"

Sami:

"I saw them about to do it at the mansion."

Brady:

"Almost? That doesn't count."

Sami:

"Well if they almost did it that time what's to say they didn't do it?"

"True, but I don't believe you."

"No. I was just leaving."

Sami:

"But Brady."

Brady gets up and leaves.

Nathan:

"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt whatever that was."

Sami:

"It's fine. So doc how am I doing?"

Nathan:

"Excellent for someone who was just shot. You have the most remarkable test results I've ever seen granted I haven't had many gunshot victims."

Sami:

"It must that miracle drug."

Nathan:

"It must be. So I'm waiting for one more test to come back and if everything is as great as these then I might release you tonight."

Carrie:

"Oh my gosh Sami I was so worried even though Lucas told me you were okay."

Sami:

"Carrie you didn't have to come all the way here just to see me."

Lucas:

"She didn't come empty handed."

Sami:

"You brought Allie?"

Carrie:

"Yeah she was missing her parents."

Sami:

"Is she here at the hospital? I wanna see here?"

Lucas:

"Yeah she's with Alex. I go get her."

Lucas walks out the room.

Carrie:

"So do they know who did it?"

Sami:

"No I haven't heard anything. I'm sure Uncle Bo and Rafe are on top of it."

Carrie:

"I bet Mr. FBI boyfriend is."

Sami:

"Well hopefully you'll stick around town to meet him this time."

Carrie:

"I hope so."

"I'm glad you're better."

"Thank you. And you know what?"

"I might be getting out of here tonight. What do you have to say about that?"

Allie:

"Yay."

Carrie:

"Already? That's some miracle drug."

Sami:

"Yep and I got it all thanks to Lucas."

Carrie looks at Lucas then back at Sami.

Carrie:

"Lucas didn't tell me this. How did he help you?"

Sami:

"He's my power of attorney. I never changed it after we divorced. It's a good thing because dad and everyone else wanted the blood transplant."

Carrie:

"Good ole Lucas Horton knew exactly what to do."

Everyone smiles.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: COLIN'S ROOM

Colin lies in bed hooked up to machines in the dark. Someone walks into his room quietly. They close the door slowly. They walks over to his bed and hovers over him. Outside the door, Melanie walks up to it and opens it, but Nathan stops her.

Nathan:

"Melanie what are you doing?"

Melanie leaves the door cracked. The person hides in a closet.

Melanie:

"I'm working."

Nathan:

"You should go home. You were almost shot again."

Melanie:

"Nathan I'm fine. Stop worrying."

Nathan:

"You know I can't help but worry."

Melanie:

"Well don't worry so much."

Nathan:

"Impossible."

Melanie:

"Well I might as well tell you. This is that gunman's room."

Nathan:

"Well then I have a right to be worried. I'm going in with you."

Melanie:

"He's laying in bed with a hole in his chest. I don't think he's going to hurt me."

Nathan:

"Maybe, maybe not. I'm still going though I have a few choice word for him."

Nathan goes in. Melanie follows behind. He turns on the light then walks to Colin's bedside. Melanie walks towards him.

Nathan:

"So you think you're some big tough guy huh? Walking into a hospital, trying to kidnap a teenage girl, shooting people including a pregnant woman? You're pathetic. I hope that they throw the book at you because you deserve it and a hell of a lot more."

Melanie:

"Wow that was a lot."

Nathan:

"Well he pissed me off in the short time that I've met him."

Melanie:

"Enough to even defend Nicole DiMera."

Colin slowly opens his eyes. Nathan and Melanie see.

Nathan:

"Welcome back jerk."

Colin:

"Your bed side manner stinks doctor."

Nathan:

"Well that happens when the patient is a complete ass."

Melanie:

"Okay Nathan let's get out of here."

Colin:

"I should file a report with the hospital board and get your license revoked."

Nathan:

"I'm sure they'll understand how I feel seeing as you tried to kill me and several others not too long ago."

Melanie:

"Okay Nathan it's time to go."

Colin:

"Yeah Nathan run along like a good little puppy."

Nathan:

"I swear if you weren't in this bed…"

Melanie interrupts

Melanie:

"Nathan!"

Colin:

"What you'll kill me?"

Melanie:

"Let's go."

Colin:

"I guess I'll take that as a yes. I'm going to add that to my list of things to talk to the hospital board about."

Nathan shakes his head then rushes out. Melanie follows behind him. He stands in the hallway outside of Colin's room. Melanie walks up to him.

Melanie:

"Nathan what the hell? Do you want to lose your licenses?"

Nathan:

"I went to the extreme I know, but he had it coming."

Melanie:

"Now you're going to suffer. I have to tell Bo that he's alive."

Nathan:

"Tell him."

Melanie:

"But he'll tell Bo about you."

Nathan:

"I made a mistake and now I will have to deal with it."

Nathan walks away. Melanie watches then turns to look at Colin in his bed. He has his eyes closed. She walks away. The person comes out of the closet slowly and quiet. He walks up to Colin's IV and sticks a needle in it.

"I agreed to help him get revenge on Nicole no questioned asked."

"Melanie, any news on Colin."

Melanie:

"Yes, he's awake."

Bo gets up.

Bo:

"Can you take me to his room?"

"Okay."

Bo walks away with Melanie. Mia and Will

Mia:

"I need to get out of here."

Mia stands up and starts to walk. Will gets up and follows her.

Will:

"I'll take you anywhere you want to go."

Mia:

"There is one place, but you shouldn't go with me. I've already got you in enough trouble."

Will:

"So what's some more?"

Mia:

"Aren't you tired of my drama?"

Will:

"No I'm not."

Will touches Mia's hands. She looks down at them then back up at Will.

Will:

"I want to be there for you."

Mia:

"Even if I'm about to do something illegal?"

Will:

"How illegal?"

Mia looks around to make sure no one is listening.

Mia:

"We're going to break into Colin's place before the police do."

Will stares suspiciously at Mia.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: COLIN'S ROOM

"Usually it's take a few days, but I'm going to put a rush on it. The soon we know who the baby's father is. The better off everyone will be."

Philip knocks on the door. Carly opens it.

Philip:

"Is it all done?"

Carly:

"Yep you can go right in."

Carly walks out. Philip walks up to Chloe.

Chloe:

"Carly was nice to me considering everything."

Philip:

"Yep to me too, but that's just out of respect for Bo."

Chloe:

"She said she's going to put a rush on the test results."

Philip:

"Good. The sooner the better."

Chloe:

"Yep. The sooner Daniel knows that this baby is his the faster we can get back together and you and Melanie too."

Philip:

"Melanie and I are over."

Chloe:

"Just like that? You're not going to fight for her?"

Philip:

"It would be a waste of time because she has made it very clear that she wants to be with Nathan. She was just waiting for me to mess up so she would have an excuse to dump me and run back to him."

Chloe:

"Oh Philip I'm so sorry."

Philip:

"It's not your fault. If it wasn't this then it would be something else. I should have never married her to begin with. I'm a lose at love."

Chloe:

"No you're not Philip."

Philip:

"I lost you…more than once. I lost Belle, Stephanie, and now Melanie."

Chloe:

"I'm still here for you always Philip."

"You almost get shot while you're caring my child and I'm suppose to just leave?"

Nicole:

"Brady is this childs father no matter what."

EJ:

"No he will only be the father if he is by blood."

Nicole:

"Did you just forget what I told you? You need to stay the hell away from this baby or Sami will know your little secret."

EJ:

"Admit it Nicole you need me because Brady will find out that you and I slept together and then you and baby will need someone to help them."

Nicole:

"The only way that Brady would find out about us is if you tell him because I'm not…and you're not either."

EJ:

"Maybe I will….maybe I'll tell Brady….maybe I'll come clean with Samantha."

Nicole:

"Oh really. You're going to tell Sami the truth?"

EJ:

"No, I don't want her to know."

Nicole:

"Then good walk out."

Brady walks up to the door. He stands outside the door and listens.

EJ:

"No, no. I'm not giving up that easy Nicole. I will find a way to be a part of this kid's life."

Brady (to himself):

"Sami was right."

Nicole:

"Brady is this kid's father not you."

EJ:

"I'm not going to allow Brady Black to be my child's father."

Nicole:

"You have no choice."

Brady decides to walk in. Nicole and EJ freeze.

Brady:

"No Nicole you have no choice."

Nicole:

"Brady."

Brady:

"I should have known. I should have known that you were lying to me about the baby."

Nicole:

"I didn't Brady. This is our baby."

"I don't want to have anything to do with that kid or you."

"Shawn Douglas Brady what are you up to?"

Shawn smiles at Belle. Back at the hotel, Hope and Baker search for the ring.

Baker:

"Can't find it anywhere."

Hope:

"Maybe he has it with him and we're wasting time looking for it here."

Baker:

"Well guess we'll just wait till they come back."

Hope:

"If the ring is already on her finger I will have to attack her as well."

Hope smiles at Baker as she twirls her hair with her finger. Baker half smiles. Back at the party, Shawn signals to the DJ. The DJ gives him a thumbs up. Belle notices.

Anna:

"You guys wouldn't happen to have any coffee and doughnuts would you?"

Anna laughs. She surveys the room and realize she's the only one laughing. She stops and clears her voice.

Anna:

"Dead crowd tonight."

Rafe:

"Enough with the Chet chat let's get down to business. Who were you working with?"

Anna:

"Well no one really since Tony died, but let me think…"

Rafe gets mad.

Rafe:

"Enough Anna"

Rafe yells. Anna jumps a little.

Anna:

"Okay I'm sorry. I'm just nervous."

Tim:

"Rafe, would you like us to step out and leave you two alone?"

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

Nicole wipes the tears from her eyes. EJ observes the argument

Brady:

"You can't make me feel sorry for you with all those tears. So stop."

Nicole:

"Brady, you can't deny this baby….our baby."

Brady:

"This isn't our baby…this is your baby. And what you do with it, it doesn't matter to me."

Nicole:

"But Brady I love you."

Brady:

"You love me? Well this is what I think of you."

Brady gets close to Nicole's face.

Brady:

"You're nothing to me, but a selfish little bitch and I can't stand the sight of you."

EJ pulls Brady's arm.

EJ:

"Alright that's enough."

Brady yanks his arm back.

Brady:

"Don't touch me."

Brady and EJ stare at one another.

EJ:

"There is still a chance that you're the father and I hope that if you are you will step up and take care of him or her and Nicole."

Brady:

"Screw Nicole, screw that baby…and screw you….you two deserve each other."

Brady leaves.

Nicole:

"Brady."

She starts to go after him, but EJ stops her. She cries. EJ comforts her.

EJ:

"It's alright. Brady isn't even worth it."

Nicole pushes EJ away.

Nicole:

"Brady is more worth it than you."

EJ:

"Really? After everything he said to you, you still love him and still want him to be a part of that baby's life?"

Nicole:

"He is mad. He will come around. I know Brady."

EJ:

"Didn't seem like that to me."

Nicole:

"When this baby comes back to be his. He wouldn't be able to stay away."

EJ:

"I'm doubting that."

Nicole:

"So shut the hell up. This is all your fault anyways."

EJ:

"Oh so It's my fault that you didn't tell Brady the truth?"

Nicole:

"He would have never needed to know that we slept together if you didn't feel the need to be all protective of a kid that isn't even yours."

EJ:

"It could be."

Nicole:

"It's not. Honestly I don't get why would you want this to be your baby? Unless you're afraid of losing yours. Say maybe Sami finds out what you did."

EJ:

"She won't even know what I did."

Nicole:

"And why not? I think she deserves to know and I will make sure she does."

EJ gets worried.

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Anna:

"Before I tell all..Rafe can you promise me you'll keep me safe?"

"Which one?"

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

Nicole circles around EJ.

Nicole:

"I hope you didn't think that I was going to keep your sick little secret when you couldn't keep two simple ones of mine?"

EJ:

"Simple? You were going to send an innocent woman to prison and keep me from my child. That is not simple that's inhumane."

She stops.

Nicole:

"Wow this is rich coming from someone who ruins people's lives and even kills them on a day to day basis."

EJ:

"You do the same. You just don't get paid. Which is a shame because you'd be a billionaire."

Nicole:

"You're a jerk EJ and soon Sami will know exactly how much."

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: SAMI'S ROOM

Carrie and Sami are laughing in the room when Brady barges in. They both stare at Brady.

Carrie:

"Hi. Brady are you okay?"

Brady:

"Hi Carrie and no."

Sami:

"What happened?"

Brady:

"You were right about Nicole. She slept with EJ and now they're having a baby."

Sami:

"Oh my gosh…is there a possibility that you might be the father?"

Brady:

"Nicole says there is, but I'm not going to believe another lie that comes out of that lying bitches mouth…..I need to get out of here. Get better."

Brady leaves.

Carrie turns to Sami.

Carrie:

"I've never heard Brady talk like that."

Sami:

"Well Nicole DiMera brings out the worst in everyone. Even sweet level headed people like Brady."

Carrie:

"I can only imagine."

Sami:

"Carrie, do you think that I can get me some crushed ice?"

Carrie:

"Sure. I'll be right back."

Sami:

"Cool thanks. It's great to have my big sister in town."

Carrie:

"Same here, little sister."

"Nicole you bitch. Time to get to the bottom of this baby business."

Sami gets out of bed and heads for Nicole's room.

"I was at the nurse's station and heard that he had flat lined. So I just came to help."

Carly:

"This is just odd. He should be just fine."

Daniel:

"Bo, I want to open up an investigation into what happened here."

Bo:

"Sounds like this might be foul play."

Nathan and Melanie look at each other then quickly look away.

Melanie:

"Foul play like murder?"

Bo:

"Yep like murder. Like someone didn't want him to talk. Gonna need to talk to Mia some more and Carly you and Daniel too to eliminate any wrong on your part."

Daniel:

"Sounds good."

"I'll come with you."

"What did you do?"

They stop.

Nathan & Melanie:

"I didn't do anything."

They stop again.

Nathan & Melanie:

"Wait, did you just accuse me of murder?"

"They surely do."

Will:

"Let's open it and see what you've won."

Mia:

"No money?"

Will looks through it.

Will:

"Doesn't look like it."

Mia:

"Let's keep looking."

"Wait."

Mia:

"What? Is it money?"

Will:

"No, but this envelope has Chad's name on it."

Mia:

"What? Let me see."

Will shows her.

Mia:

"Maybe that's from his mom's safe deposit box."

Will:

"Do you want to see what's inside?"

Mia:

"Yeah open it up."

Will opens the envelope and pulls out results of a DNA test. Will looks at Mia.

Will:

"It's a DNA test."

Mia and Will wonder.

"I wonder what he's up to. Hmm…"

Back at the hotel, Hope and Baker wait in the lobby.

Baker:

"I don't know about attacking this woman whoever she is."

Hope:

"Are you getting soft on my Dick?"

Baker:

"No it's just how are we going to pull off both attacks?"

Hope:

"You just leave that to me."

Baker:

"Alright."

Baker pauses.

Baker:

"You know what?"

Hope:

"No I don't. What?"

Baker:

"That guy with the ring. He kinda reminds me of someone."

Hope:

"Like who? Another victim?"

Baker:

"No more like…"

Baker pauses.

Baker:

"I think someone is coming….I think it's him."

Hope:

"Get into position."

Hope hides near the stairs as Baker hides behind a paper in the lobby. Shawn walks in and to behind the counter. He pulls out the ring box. He opens it up to look at it. Then closes it and puts it in his inside jacket pocket. He heads for the door, but Baker stops him.

Baker:

"Ah, excuse me."

Shawn stops and turns around.

Shawn:

"Yes sir."

Baker:

"I was wondering if you can give me some directions."

Hope comes up from the stairwell and moves slowly towards Shawn. Baker circle's around Shawn so that Shawn's back is to the stair. Hope raises her gun to strike.

Shawn:

"Sure, where to?"

Hope smacks Shawn over the head with her gun. Shawn falls to the ground on his side. Hope puts the gun in the back of her pants.

Hope:

"Now let's see this ring."

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

EJ:

"You're going to keep your mouth shut if you know what's good for you."

Nicole:

"What's good for me? That would be Brady, but you ruined that by telling him I framed Arianna and then telling him that you could be this baby's father. All I asked EJ was for you to keep your mouth shut, but you couldn't so you know what? I don't feel like I should either."

Sami walks up to the door and listens. She wonders what Nicole is talking about.

EJ:

"If you tell Samantha that I kidnapped Sydney…."

Sami heart drops. She slowly walks into the room. EJ and Nicole are so focused on each other they don't see her walk in.

EJ:

"…I will make you wish you were never born."

Sami stops.

Sami:

"You don't have to worry about that threat Nicole…."

EJ freezes. Nicole looks at Sami then moves away from EJ.

Sami:

"…because I heard it straight from the horse's mouth or should I say jackass?"

EJ slowly turns around to face Sami who's shaking with anger. She stares him down then looks over at Nicole.

Sami:

"And here I was just going to come and rip into you Nicole for playing with Brady's heart yet again…"

Sami turns back to face EJ.

Sami:

"….but you EJ have topped Nicole."

EJ's nervous. Nicole sits down on the bed to watch the show.

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Rafe:

"EJ hired you to kidnap Sydney?"

Anna tears up.

Anna:

"Yes. He bribed me with the money that was owed to me after Tony's death. But it doesn't matter about the money now because he's going to kill me for telling you."

Rafe stares at Anna.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

EJ:

"Samantha…"

EJ tires to touch her shoulders, but Sami knocks his hands down and backs away.

Sami:

"Shut up EJ. Just shut the hell up."

EJ is taken aback.

Sami:

"I don't want to hear anymore of your lies and manipulations. It stops right here right now."

COLIN'S APARTMENT

Mia:

"A DNA test? For what?"

Will looks at the paper.

"Chad's mom ran a DNA test on Chad to match his DNA with DA Woods and someone else…and that someone else's DNA matches Chad's."

"Oh my gosh…who is it?"

Will sees the name is in shock. He looks up at Mia.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: SAMI'S ROOM

Carrie walks into Sami's room with the crushed ice and sees she's not in there.

Carrie:

"Of course. Get me out of the room so you can go taunt Nicole. Oh Sami…you will never change."

Carrie's phone rings. She puts the cup down to answer it.

Carrie:

"Hello?"

Derrick:

"Hey Carrie. It's Derrick."

Carrie:

"Hi Derrick. What's going on?"

Derrick:

"Your mom just confessed to who she's working with."

Carrie:

"Oh my gosh. Is she alright?"

Derrick:

"She's pretty shaken, but she's about to be processed."

Carrie:

"Okay I'm on my way."

Carrie hangs up and turns to walk out when she bumps into Lucas.

Carrie:

"Sorry Lucas, excuse me."

Carrie walks passed him. Lucas turns around.

Lucas:

"Hey what's wrong? Where's Sami?"

Carrie stops and turns around.

Carrie:

"I didn't want to say anything before because I didn't want to upset Sami, but when Allie and I were in New York, I ran into my mom with an FBI Agent. He was bringing her back to Salem for Rafe to question her about Sydney's kidnapping. And that agent just called me and said that she confessed. I'm going to watch her be processed."

Lucas:

"Okay go do that. I'm going to find Sami."

Carrie:

"Sami's in Nicole's room."

Lucas:

"Nicole's room?"

Carrie:

"Sami will tell you all about it."

Carrie rushes off. Lucas wonders then walks down the hall.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

Sami:

"You're a sick bastard. Kidnapping Sydney then making everyone think that she was dead. And you did that after everything that I went through with Grace. Did you get off on that? Did you love seeing me cry? Watching me in pain? I bet you had a good laugh afterwards didn't you?"

EJ:

"I made a mistake…"

Sami cuts him off.

Sami:

"Did I say you could speak?"

EJ stops and stares.

Sami:

"I'm not done yet EJ."

Sami paces back and forth.

Sami:

"How can you live with yourself after everything that you've done? Oh wait that's right because you're a DiMera. You destroy people's lives then sleep like little babies. And I'm so so so sorry that two of my kids are part DiMera. But they will be better people. I'll make sure of that. They'll be raised as Brady's…with morals and decency. They will never be you and Stefano. They'll never be around you again."

EJ's eyes widen.

COLIN'S APARTMENT

Will looks back at the paper.

Will:

"I can't believe it."

Mia:

"Believe what? What does it say?"

Will looks at Mia.

Will:

"EJ DiMera."

Mia's shocked.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

EJ and Sami start yelling.

EJ:

"You can't keep my kids away from me."

Sami:

"Shut up."

EJ screams.

EJ:

"I will not shut up. You shut up."

Sami:

"I'm not shutting up EJ."

EJ and Sami yell back and forth. Lucas walks in.

Lucas:

"What the hell is going on in here?"

EJ and Sami stop. Sami turns around to see Lucas.

Sami:

"Lucas, you will never guess what this sick son of a bitch did."

Sami stands next to Lucas.

Sami:

"He was the one behind Sydney's kidnapping."

Lucas:

"Is that so?"

Sami:

"Yes it is. I was just telling him how he will never see Johnny and Sydney ever again."

Lucas:

"About damn time you got this bastard out of your life and Johnny and Sydney's."

Sami:

"You're right Lucas. This is well overdue. I should have never let you in my life to begin with, but I guess I didn't have a choice did I? You forced your way into my life…into Lucas' life. You took advantage of me when I was vulnerable and scared. You raped me. You manipulated me into tearing my life apart. One that I've wanted for so long to have. And now you continue to try and ruin my life day by day. But you can't do that anymore EJ. I won't let you. I'm taking my life back. I'm taking my kids away from you. And there's not a damn thing you can do about."

EJ smiles.

STATESVILLE PRISON

Rafe gets ready to escort Anna to her cell when Derrick and Carrie show up.

Carrie:

"Mom."

Anna:

"Carrie."

They hug.

Anna:

"I'm going to prison."

They stop hugging.

Anna:

"I'm so sorry for all that I've done."

Carrie:

"I hope you are."

Anna:

"Will you come and visit me?"

Carrie pauses.

Anna:

"It's okay. You don't have to."

Rafe:

"Come on Anna."

Rafe and Anna start to walk away. Carrie stops them.

Carrie:

"Wait."

Anna and Rafe turn around.

Carrie:

"Of course I will come and visit you."

Anna rushes to Carrie.

Anna:

"Oh thank you. I'll be looking forward to that."

They begin to cry as they hug one last time. They pull away.

Anna:

"Oh and one last thing Carrie."

Carrie:

"What's that?"

Anna:

"I…"

Carrie's eyes widen.

Anna:

"I..I love you."

Carrie is shocked.

Carrie:

"I love you too."

Carrie and Anna smile. Anna turns to face Rafe.

Anna:

"I'm ready now."

Rafe takes Anna to her cell. Carrie starts crying. Derrick comforts her.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

Sami:

"Why are you smiling you pig?"

EJ:

"I think it's funny how you think you can get my kids away from me."

Sami:

"I can and I will."

EJ:

"How? You have no proof of what I did. It'll be my word against yours."

Nicole:

"I have your taped confession."

EJ:

"That won't hold up in court."

Lucas:

"Well maybe Anna's confession will."

EJ:

"Oh really Anna. Like you'll be able to find her. Rafe failed."

Lucas:

"Rafe succeed."

Sami:

"Rafe found her?"

Lucas:

"Yep and Anna confessed it all to him. Carrie just went to watch her mom be processed."

EJ:

"Well Lucas you always had an imagination."

Lucas:

"Not even I could come up with something this good. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before Rafe comes and locks your butt up."

Sami:

"I knew there was a reason I loved that man. He's so damn good. Unlike this piece of garbage standing in front of us."

Sami and Lucas chuckle.

Sami:

"Guess it's time to leave, but before I do. I have one more thing to say."

Lucas:

"What's that?"

Sami:

"Johnny and Sydney will be changing their last name to Hernandez."

EJ gets pissed.

Sami:

"Let's get out of here Lucas."

Lucas:

"But we were having so much fun here."

Sami:

"Come Lucas."

Sami and Lucas turn around and leave. EJ looks like he's about to explode as he stares at the door Sami and Lucas just walked out of. Nicole looks at EJ.

Nathan & Melanie:

"Coast is clear."

Someone is standing outside the door. They look away from each other then turn to face each other again.

Melanie:

"So what did you do?"

Nathan:

"I didn't do anything."

Melanie:

"Me neither."

They pause.

Nathan:

"So you went straight to Bo."

Melanie:

"Yep then we went straight to Colin's room where he flat lined."

Nathan:

"I went to the nurse's station to call to check on Sami's test results."

Melanie:

"So you have an alibi and so do I. Not that we need one."

Nathan:

"We were the last two to see Colin alive."

Melanie:

"Well no one knows that you were in Colin's room except you, me, and Colin and neither of us are gonna talk. Except…."

Nathan:

"Except what?"

Melanie:

"I kinda said something to Bo."

Nathan:

"Like what?"

Melanie:

"Um…like Colin's not really all there. Which implies that he spoke to me which means Bo will probably question me some more, but don't worry I won't say anything about you."

Nathan:

"No you don't have to hide anything from Bo. You should tell him the truth."

Melanie:

"He doesn't need to know that you were there."

Nathan:

"You lie to him and he'll think that we're hiding something and we're not."

Melanie:

"But the fight you had with Colin."

Nathan:

"It doesn't matter. Colin's dead. He's not going to say anything about it. Just tell Bo that I saw you in the room and came in then we walked out together."

Melanie:

"Bo will think of you as a suspect."

Nathan:

"I have a solid alibi. Don't worry."

Melanie:

"Okay I won't. I'm fine."

Nathan:

"Good."

Melanie's pager goes off. She checks it.

Melanie:

"The nurse's station needs me."

Nathan:

"I'll meet up with you."

Melanie:

"Of course."

Nathan opens up the door. Melanie walks out. Nathan's behind her. She turns around.

Melanie:

"Oh I forgot something."

Nathan:

"What?"

Melanie pulls him into a kiss. They stop and smile at one another.

Melanie:

"And don't you let me forget that again."

Nathan:

"Never."

He kisses her. They stop and smile again. Melanie walks away smiling. Nathan watches her walk away. Eddie walks up behind Nathan.

Eddie:

"I so should have went to med school…"

Nathan turns around.

Eddie:

"…I could be making out with hot nurses."

Nathan:

"What the hell are you doing back here?"

Eddie:

"Watching you and boy don't you get around."

Nathan gets nervous.

She sits down.

Mia:

"This couch is pretty soft."

Will:

"There's another envelope too."

Will walks over to sit next to her. He sits down just jumps back up.

"Ouch. What is that?"

Mia:

"It's a money counter."

"It was. That felt so good to get all of that off my chest."

Lucas:

"Now it's time to mean what you say."

Sami:

"Oh I will. I'm not going to let EJ manipulate me anymore. I'm taking Johnny and Sydney away from him. They don't need him and he doesn't deserve to be their father."

"Same here. I was hoping to talk to Johnny and Sydney. Could you put them on the phone? I would love to hear their voices."

Caroline:

"Johnny and Sydney aren't here."

Sami panics.

Sami:

"What do you mean they're not there?"

Caroline:

"They're at the DiMera dungeon I mean mansion. Arianna took them over there over there earlier."

Sami panics some more. Lucas notices.

Sami:

"Oh my gosh no."

Caroline:

"Is there something the matter Sami?"

Sami:

"No..I mean..I'll tell you later."

Caroline:

"Okay."

"What's going on?"

"EJ told me. So don't even try to lie"

"Forget Brady. I am going to lose my kids."

"Maybe you should."

"So you think that Rafe Hernandez is a better father than me?"

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: SAMI'S ROOM

Lucas:

"Just because the kids are at the mansion doesn't mean that EJ has them. With any luck he's still here and you can get the kids."

"How? How am I going to get the kids? EJ's probably alerted his security not to let me in."

"What do you mean?"

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: SAMI'S ROOM

Sami:

"You would risk going to the DiMera mansion for me?"

Lucas:

"Of course Sami. I would do anything for you and those kids. Plus I would do anything to piss EJ off."

"Yes he's hurt…um is going to be okay?"

Belle:

"Um Hope you're not acting like yourself."

"What's that supposed to mean."

"Well he um…"

Melanie flashes back to her conversation she just had with Nathan.

Melanie:

"I kinda said something to Bo."

Nathan:

"Like what?"

Melanie:

"Um…like Colin's not really all there. Which implies that he spoke to me which means Bo will probably question me some more, but don't worry I won't say anything about you."

Nathan:

"No you don't have to hide anything from Bo. You should tell him the truth."

Melanie:

"He doesn't need to know that you we're there."

Nathan:

"You lie to him and he'll think that we're hiding something and we're not."

Melanie:

"But the fight you had with Colin."

Nathan:

"It doesn't matter. Colin's dead. He's not going to say anything about it. Just tell Bo that I saw you in the room and came in then we walked out together."

"Bo will think of you as a suspect."

Nathan:

"I have a solid alibi. Don't worry."

Bo:

"Melanie?"

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing I'm fine. It must be the fall allergies."

"I'm here for Johnny and Sydney."

Kate:

"Well I thought it was EJ's night."

Lucas:

"Sami is getting released tonight and Allie's home."

Kate:

"Allie's home? Why didn't you bring her by?"

Lucas:

"She didn't want to leave Sami's side so I came over to get the kids for Sami. Figure it would be fewer confutations if I did it rather than Rafe."

Kate:

"Well sure. They're in the living room."

Lucas walks towards the living room. Kate stops him.

Kate:

"I'm here to pick up the kids."

"Oh really why?"

"Sami wants to be with all the kids tonight since she's getting out of the hospital."

Stefano:

"Oh yes I did here about that unfortunate incident. Glad she's doing better."

Lucas:

"I bet."

Johnny interrupts.

Johnny:

"I wanna see mommy."

Lucas:

"Well let's go then."

"Alright."

"What time tomorrow will Sami bring the kids by? I would love to spend time with them also."

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: LOCKER ROOM

Nathan:

"Have Stephanie? What does that even mean?"

Eddie:

"I wanna hang out, talk, and maybe if I'm lucky..."

Nathan:

"You're sick. Stay away from Stephanie."

Eddie:

"I'm just trying to help you out. I know having two chicks can wear a guy out. Especially high maintenance ones."

Nathan:

"Shut the hell up and get lost before I call security."

Eddie:

"And tell them what? That you just killed a patient."

Nathan freezes.

Eddie:

"I saw you and your little nurse walk out of that guy's room before he croaked."

Nathan:

"We didn't do anything to him."

Eddie:

"That's going to be hard to prove after you threatened to kill him."

Nathan:

"I did no such thing."

Eddie:

"I heard you and so did my little tape recorder."

Eddie pulls out his tape recorder for Nathan to see.

Eddie:

"Face it Horton, I own you and your little blonde too."

Nathan:

"Well I didn't kill Colin Murphy. I have an alibi."

Eddie:

"So what? This tape can still ruin your doctor career. What a shame, you're so young."

Nathan takes deep breath.

Nathan:

"Alright fine. I'll give you want you want, but it's can't be Stephanie."

Eddie:

"Okay fine. How about I'll sleep on it and will meet up with you somewhere tomorrow."

Nathan:

"Fine. I have patients to attend too. When and where?"

Eddie:

"I'll find you."

Nathan walks away. Eddie watches and smiles.

THE PIER

Brady:

"You slept with EJ?"

Arianna:

"And now I regret it so much. He used me."

Brady:

"He has a habit of doing that."

Arianna:

"I feel so stupid."

Brady:

"Don't. He does it to everybody."

Arianna:

"I had so many warnings and I didn't listen. So how does that not make me stupid?"

Brady:

"Because he's a manipulator. He does it to everybody. The good thing is you know how EJ is and you'll stay away from him. It'll make you look stupid if you don't see him for who he is now."

Arianna:

"I don't know how you do it Brady."

Brady:

"Do what?"

Arianna:

"Make me feel better after making a mistake."

Brady:

"Glad I could help. You um…calmed me down."

Arianna:

"From what?"

Brady:

"I just cursed out Nicole for not telling that she slept with EJ and that he could be the father of her baby."

Arianna:

"Wow."

Brady:

"Yep she wasn't happy that I found out, but I don't care. I don't want any part of her or that baby."

Arianna:

"What happens if the baby is yours?"

Brady:

"I haven't thought about it really. I don't feel that I'm that attached to the kid."

Arianna:

"Well you did just find out."

Brady:

"Yeah, but Nicole's so happy and so in love with it."

Arianna:

"Maybe because she feels like this is a second chance for her to be a mom."

Brady:

"Yeah probably."

Arianna:

"I'm sure if you are the father that you'll be a great one."

Brady stares at Arianna then pulls her into a kiss.

UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL: NICOLE'S ROOM

Daniel:

"Not tonight Nicole. You need some rest."

Nicole:

"But Brady…"

Daniel:

"Nicole, get some rest and I'll call Brady to come over in the morning."

Lucas rushes out.

DIMERA MANSION

Kate:

"What do you think is going on?"

Stefano:

"For a minute there I thought you were going to tell me that Lucas and Samantha were back together."

Kate:

"Over my dead body."

EJ bursts. Kate and Stefano are startled. EJ rushes in.

EJ:

"Johnny, Sydney! Daddy's home."

"The kids are gone."

"This should be interesting."

Stefano:

"What is wrong Elvis?"

EJ:

"I need my kids, where are they? Asleep?"

Stefano:

"It wasn't Sami that got the kids."

EJ:

"Then who? Who has my kids?"

Stefano:

"Lucas."

EJ:

"Lucas, Lucas Horton? That little weasel walked into my house and stole my kids?"

Stefano:

"What is going on Lucas? Why are you and Samantha fighting over the kids?"

EJ:

"Samantha knows."

Stefano:

"Samantha knows what?"

EJ:

"She knows that I kidnapped Sydney."

Stefano:

"How did she find out?"

EJ:

"My lovely ex-wife."

Stefano:

"How the hell did she find out?"

EJ:

"I accidentally told her. She was supposed to keep her mouth shut, but she didn't want to we argued Sami walked in and now she wants to keep the kids from me and using Lucas to do so. But I guess it didn't matter because Rafe knows. He heard it from Anna."

Stefano:

"How on earth did he find Anna?"

EJ:

"A FBI agent tracked her down and brought her back here to tell Rafe everything."

Stefano:

"Great just great! I leave town for a few days and everything goes to hell."

EJ:

"I'm not going to let anyone get in my way of me being with my kids."

Stefano:

"You get the kids and I'll handle Anna."

Kate moves away from the door. EJ opens the door then leaves. He slams the door. Stefano lights a cigar as Kate walks back in. Stefano picks up his phone and dials a number. He takes the cigar out of his mouth.

Stefano:

"Yes you need to find Anna and shut her up."

He hangs up and puts the cigar back into his mouth. Kate walks out of the room and calls Lucas.

Lucas:

"Hello?"

Kate:

"Lucas, I'm calling to warn you."

Lucas:

"What are you talking about?"

Kate:

"I know that EJ kidnapped Sydney and now you're mixed up in the fight with Sami and EJ over the kids. EJ knows that you took the kids and he's coming after you."

Lucas:

"Okay thanks mom."

Kate:

"Be careful."

Kate hangs up. Stefano is standing behind her.

Stefano:

"Who were you talking to?"

Kate freezes.

SAMI'S PENTHOUSE

Sami walks into her penthouse, but the lights don't work.

Sami:

"A fuse must have blown during the storm. I'll light some candles."

She stumbles around in the dark to get some candles out of the draw then lights them.

She gets a call from Lucas.

Sami:

"Hey Lucas did you get the kids?"

Lucas:

"Yeah I did. Where are you?"

Sami:

"I'm at the penthouse."

Lucas:

"Why did you leave the hospital? EJ could be on his way over there right now."

Sami:

"Was he there when you picked up the kids?"

Lucas:

"No, but Stefano was."

Sami:

"Stefano? It thought he was out of town."

Lucas:

"He's back and EJ is pissed. My mom just called me and told me EJ is coming after me for the kids. I bet he'll stop there first. I'm on my way."

Sami:

"Okay I'll pack some stuff and stay at your place. I have no electricity and I can't reach Rafe."

Lucas:

"That will be best. I'll be there in a few."

Sami:

"Okay."

They hang up.

THE PIER

Arianna stops the kiss.

Arianna:

"What was that?"

Brady:

"A kiss?"

Arianna:

"I know that, but why?"

Brady:

"I don't know. I just felt like I should kiss you."

Arianna:

"Well it shouldn't happen again."

Brady:

"Why not?"

Arianna:

"Because…we're not together and it's just weird especially after everything that's happened today."

Brady:

"Well let's change that."

Arianna:

"Change?"

Brady:

"Change us. Our status."

Arianna:

"You want to get back together?"

Brady:

"Yep."

Arianna:

"Wow. I mean…I don't know."

Brady:

"You know what forget it."

Brady stands up with his back to Arianna. Arianna follows.

Arianna:

"So you don't want to get back together?"

Brady turns to Arianna.

Brady:

"Nope I don't just want to get together. I want to get married."

Arianna's eyes light up.

STATESVILLE

Anna:

"And that's my story."

Bonnie:

"Wow. Your brother-in-law is twisted. He hasn't changed at all. He got my Patrick mixed up in his business and now he's in prison."

Anna:

"I'm so sorry for your son and for me. I could end up dead any moment."

Bonnie:

"Don't worry. You're in prison. No DiMera can touch you and if they try they will have to answer to me."

Anna:

"Thanks I guess. It's just weird I didn't think I would make a friend in prison or at least this early."

Bonnie:

"Well you did."

Anna:

"Well since we're friends, what about you? Why are you here?"

Bonnie:

"I killed my husband. Well actually…well I hope you can keep this to yourself."

Anna:

"Of course."

Bonnie:

"Really my daughter did it. It was an accident and after everything that I've put her through I took the fall."

Anna:

"Wow that's amazing that you would give up your freedom so your daughter could have one."

Bonnie:

"Yep and it was so worth it because she's having a great time in New York. She's a nurse and dates this hot rich doctor. She calls me all the time and writes and sends me pictures."

Anna:

"She doesn't visit?"

Bonnie:

"Not really it's hard for her to do so. Being busy and all and seeing me behind bars makes her feel guilty."

Anna:

"Sounds like you have an amazing daughter. I have one too. She convinced me that I need to stop running and just tell the truth. I think for once in her life she was proud of me."

Bonnie:

"It's a great feeling isn't it?"

Anna:

"It is."

A guard walks up to the door.

Guard:

"Dinner for Anna DiMera."

Anna:

"That's me."

Anna walks up to the bars as the guard slides the tray into the cell.

Guard:

"Enjoy."

Anna:

"Um thank you."

The guard walks away.

Anna:

"Looks delis."

DIMERA MANSION

Kate:

"I was talking to Lucas. I was making sure that he and the kids made it home safely."

Stefano:

"And did they?"

Kate:

"Yes they did."

Stefano:

"Then why do you seem upset?"

Kate:

"I'm concerned for EJ. Is everything okay?"

Stefano phone rings. He answers it.

Stefano:

"Hello? Great."

Stefano hangs up.

Kate:

"What's so great?"

Stefano:

"It's just business."

SAMI'S PENTHOUSE

Sami enters the living room with a few bags of stuff for her and the kids. She puts them down on the couch and calls Rafe again. He doesn't answer. She leaves him another voicemail.

Sami:

"Rafe, where are you? Anyways, I'm at the penthouse getting some stuff to stay at Lucas' tonight with the kids. When you get this can you please call me on Lucas' cell because mines is about to die and I don't know where the charger is and I don't have time to look for it because Lucas will be here any minute…"

There's a knock at the door.

Sami:

"…Never mind he's hear I'll talk to you later bye."

Sami throws the phone on the couch then grabs the bags and heads for the door. She opens it.

Sami:

"Alright I'm ready to go Lucas…"

She stops in her tracks when she notices its EJ leaning in the door frame.

EJ:

"Sorry, wrong baby daddy."

Sami gets nervous.

In the next episode:

Sami and EJ have a showdown

Arianna answers Brady

Philip and Chloe have dinner

Melanie and Nathan take things to the next level

[fluffysmom]

I can't wait to see what happens next with Sami, EJ, Lucas and the kids. I really enjoyed the chapter.

[gapeach]

I hope that Anna doesn't eat the food that was sent to her... I just know that Stefano poisoned it. Hopefully Bonnie will think something is off since they didn't bring her any food. Can't wait for the next updated.

THE PUB

Philip walks back over to Chloe who sits at a table eating burger and fries. He sits down.

Philip:

"Sorry I had to take that call."

Chloe:

"It's okay. You didn't miss anything I was just eating."

Chloe and Philip smile.

Philip:

"Well maybe you would like to be the first one to hear the good news."

Chloe:

"Oooh what is it?"

Philip:

"It's actually perfect timing. We're redoing the pediatrics wing of University Hospital. So it's more prepared for any illness there is."

Chloe:

"Wow that's great."

Philip:

"Yep and we're going to throw a fundraiser to help with the funds. This leads me to ask you a question."

Chloe:

"What?"

Philip:

"I was wondering if you would like to sing."

Chloe smiles.

THE PIER

Arianna is shocked by Brady's proposal. Brady gets down on one knee.

Brady:

"Will you marry me Arianna?"

Arianna:

"I don't know what to say."

Brady:

"Say yes"

Arianna:

"Why?"

Brady:

"What do you mean why? We were going to before."

Arianna:

"Yeah then Nicole interfered. Then I slept with EJ."

Brady:

"I don't care about that."

Arianna:

"What do you mean? You hate EJ and you can be having a baby with Nicole."

Brady:

"All the more reason to get married."

Arianna:

"That doesn't make sense."

Brady stands up.

Brady:

"What I'm trying to say is this. We're so in love. Yes EJ and Nicole have come between us, but look at where we are now? We still love each other."

Arianna:

"Loves not enough to make a marriage work."

SAMI'S PENTHOUSE

Sami tries to shut the door, but EJ stops her and pushes the door in. Sami's startled.

EJ:

"So you're waiting for Lucas to drop off my kids to you?"

Sami:

"No. They're my kids and you're not going to get anywhere near them ever again."

EJ:

"See that's where you're wrong. I will get my kids back and there's nothing that you or Lucas can do to stop me."

Lucas enters Sami's building. He walks up to the elevator and presses the button to go up. He calls Nathan on his phone. He doesn't answer so he leaves him a message.

Lucas:

"Hey Nathan, its Lucas. I was just calling you to give you a heads up about what's going on at home. Sami and her kids are going to be staying the night and so is Alex."

MAGGIE'S HOUSE

Nathan and Melanie walk into Maggie's house. Melanie turns around and smiles at Nathan.

Melanie:

"You follow me home and now inside?"

Nathan:

"Well I'm just making sure you made it home okay."

Melanie:

"Are you ever going to stop worrying about me?"

Nathan:

"Nope. You're stuck with me worrying about you and being around."

Melanie:

"I guess I can't complain. You are kinda cute."

Nathan:

"Oh I am?"

Melanie:

"Yeah."

Melanie and Nathan smile at one another.

Melanie:

"Well since you're here, maybe you would like me to make us some sandwiches?"

Nathan:

"A sandwich. Hmm…that sounds pretty good, but you know what would be better?"

Melanie:

"What's that doctor?"

Nathan:

"If I make us some sandwiches."

Melanie:

"You can make sandwiches?"

Nathan:

"Yup and they're good too"

Nathan smiles. He walks past Melanie and goes into the kitchen. Melanie turns around and smiles.

THE PUB

Chloe:

"I'm not sure Philip."

Philip:

"Oh come on. Think of the children."

Chloe:

"With all the heavy pockets I'm sure that will show up, I'm sure the kids will be just fine."

Philip:

"But imagine how much more we could make with a beautiful talented singer serenading them."

Chloe:

"You must have told them I would it."

Philip:

"Nope I said I'd ask."

Chloe:

"I'm sure you can find someone else."

Philip:

"Not as good as you."

Chloe:

"Melanie sounded great at karaoke night. Why don't you ask her? It'll be a great way for you two to spend some time together."

Philip:

"Melanie and I are over. The sooner I face it. The sooner I can get over it and move on."

Chloe:

"Move on to what?"

Philip smiles. Outside the Pub, Joy and Honor walk up.

Honor:

"Joy, we've been walking around all night and still can't find your sister. Can we take a break please and get something to eat?"

Joy:

"Okay we can. I kinda want a milkshake. Chloe's always talking about The Pub milkshakes."

Honor:

"Great let's go in."

THE PIER

Brady:

"I know it doesn't, but I'm willing to work on it."

Arianna:

"You're serious about this?"

Brady:

"As serious as a heart attack."

Arianna:

"I can't believe this is happening. This is what I wanted and now you're standing in front of me asking me to marry you."

Brady:

"I want to make your dreams come true. I want to be your husband."

Arianna starts to cry.

Brady:

"So does that mean yes?"

Arianna:

"Yes."

Arianna smiles through her tears. Brady picks her up and spins her around. He puts her down and they kiss. They stop and smile at one another.

Arianna:

"I'm so excited I can't believe this. So when do you want to do this?"

Brady:

"How about tonight?"

Arianna's shocked.

SAMI'S PENTHOUSE

Sami:

"I'd like to see you try to take the kids from me."

EJ:

"Well it won't be hard to get the kids if you're dead."

Sami freezes. Lucas can't get the elevator to open up.

Lucas:

"Stupid elevator. I'm taking the stairs."

Lucas rushes upstairs.

Sami:

"So you're going to kill me? That's your solution? Well that just proves that you don't have a leg to stand on."

EJ:

"Oh I can get the kids back whether you're alive or dead. It doesn't matter to me. It just depends on how you want to deal with it."

Sami:

"I rather go to court and prove that you are an unfit father not to mean the biggest ass on this planet."

EJ laughs.

Sami:

"I'm glad that you find this all amusing. We'll see who's laughing tomorrow morning when you get served. Now excuse me."

Sami tries to walk pass EJ, but he grabs her arm and pulls her down. On her way down, one of the bags in her hand knocks over a candle on the floor. Sami looks up angrily at EJ.

Sami:

"You bastard."

She goes to get up, but EJ kneels down and starts to choke her. A fire starts on the floor in the corner where the candle fell.

MAGGIE'S HOUSE

Nathan and Melanie eat roast beef sandwiches with lemonade.

Melanie:

"This is so good."

Nathan:

"See I told you I know how to make sandwiches."

Melanie:

"Well if this is an indication of what life is going to be like being with you then I can't wait."

Nathan:

"Me neither. I get to eat sandwiches in the middle of the night with a hot nurse."

Melanie laughs.

Nathan:

"That's going to be so awesome."

Melanie:

"Yep. You do the cooking and I'll take care of the lawn."

Nathan:

"Perfect because I hate getting dirt under my nails."

Melanie laughs. Nathan smiles.

Nathan:

"Well I better get home and get some sleep."

Melanie:

"I hate to see you go."

Nathan:

"But I love to watch you leave."

Melanie:

"I wasn't going to say that."

They laugh.

Nathan:

"Think of it this way. Soon we'll be able to spend the night together."

Melanie:

"There's something to look forward to."

Nathan stands up and kisses Melanie on the forehead then walks to the door.

Melanie:

"You know you're right."

Nathan turns around.

Nathan:

"Right about what?"

Melanie:

"I do love to watch you leave."

They smile then Nathan walks out the door.

SAMI'S PENTHOUSE

Sami struggles to release EJ's grip. She knees him in the stomach. He releases his grip. Sami starts to crawl away, but EJ grabs her legs.

Sami:

"Let go of me."

She yells. EJ tries to choke her again, but Lucas rushes in and punches him in the face. EJ falls back. Lucas notices the fire that's spreading. He turns to Sami.

Lucas:

"Sami, come on we need to get out of here."

EJ gets up and pulls Lucas away from Sami. Lucas tires to fight him off and they stumble and fall through Sami's table. Lucas tries to get up and EJ tries to pull him back down. Lucas punches EJ hard in his face. EJ lays on the ground unconscious. Sami tries to get up, but she's in too much pain. Lucas walks over and helps her up.

Lucas:

"Let's get out of here."

Sami:

"We can't just leave EJ here."

Lucas:

"He'll be fine come on before he gets up."

Lucas grabs Sami's bags and helps Sami out the door and down the stairs to safety. EJ lays unconscious on the ground.

THE PUB

Philip:

"Move on to…"

Philip starts, but sees Joy and Honor walk in.

Philip:

"Joy?"

Chloe turns around.

Joy:

"Chloe, thank goodness we finally found you."

Joy rushes to hug her.

Chloe:

"Joy what are you doing here? Do mom and dad know?"

They stop hugging.

Joy:

"I was so worried about you."

Chloe:

"So you came all the way from New York?"

Joy:

"Yeah. I didn't think I got a straight answer on the phone. And then I've been calling you since I landed and you haven't picked up. Neither has Daniel. Is he okay?"

Chloe:

"Last that I know."

Joy:

"What does that mean?"

Honor:

"I'm sorry, I don't mean to interrupt your sisterly reunion, but I'm starving."

Philip stands up and walks towards Honor

Philip:

"Why don't I get you something to eat and leave these two alone?"

Honor:

"Sounds good to me."

Honor smiles as she walks with Philip over to the bar.

Joy:

"Chloe what is going on?"

Chloe:

"Daniel and I…we broke up."

Joy:

"Why? What's his problem?"

Chloe:

"It's me. I cheated on him."

Joy:

"With who?"

Joy:

"With Philip?"

Chloe shakes her head yes.

THE PIER

Arianna:

"You want to get married tonight?"

"Yeah why not?"

"So that's a yes?"

Arianna:

"A hell yes."

Brady:

"Then let's do it baby."

Arianna:

"Let's do it."

They kiss again. They stop and smile.

Brady:

"Alright I'll handle all the preparations. I'll call the Justice of the Peace and whatever else."

Arianna:

"And I'll get us a witness."

Brady:

"I'm guessing you're talking about Melanie."

Arianna:

"She'd go crazy if she wasn't there."

Brady:

"Yeah she would."

Arianna laughs.

Brady:

"Alright I'll call you when I'm done."

Arianna:

"I I captain."

They kiss again then go their separate ways.

Melanie:

"Nathan, did you forget something?"

Nathan:

"Nope."

Melanie:

"Oh um…come in."

Nathan walks in. Melanie closes the door.

Nathan:

"I got a message from Lucas saying that we have some house guests. A lot of house guests."

Melanie:

"Oh who? Did some Hortons come into town? Or scary, some Roberts?"

Nathan chuckles.

Nathan:

"Nope it's Sami, her kids, and Alex."

Melanie:

"Wow. The girlfriend and the ex-wife? That should be interesting."

Nathan:

"Well I won't be there to see the catfight if there is one."

Melanie:

"Why not you have to go back to the hospital?"

Nathan:

"Nope I thought I'd stay here. I mean if it's okay with you."

Melanie:

"I don't mind. It's not like we haven't lived under the same roof before."

Nathan:

"That's true."

Melanie:

"I can sleep in my room and you can sleep in your old room."

Nathan walks closer to Melanie:

Nathan:

"Sounds good to me."

Nathan and Melanie get breathless.

Melanie:

"Or you can sleep in my room."

Nathan pulls her into a kiss.

Evan:

"Are you too okay?"

Lucas:

"Yeah we're fine."

Sami:

"There's a man trapped in the building."

Evan:

"Okay, I'll get him some help."

Lucas:

"You have to save EJ don't you?"

Sami:

"I don't want to argue Lucas I just want to get to my kids."

Lucas:

"You need to go to the hospital."

Sami:

"I need my kids Lucas. I want to be with all of them please."

Lucas takes one look at Sami and agrees.

FBI HEADQUARTERS

Rafe walks back into his office. He sees his phone on the desk.

Rafe:

"There you are."

He picks it up and notices all the messages that Sami has left him.

Rafe:

"What the heck. What's going on Sami?"

He calls his voicemail.

Sami:

"Rafe, where are you? Anyways, I'm at the penthouse getting some stuff to stay at Lucas' tonight with the kids. When you get this can you please call me on Lucas' cell because mines is about to die and I don't know where the charger is and I don't have time to look for it because Lucas will be here any minute…"

There's a knock at the door.

"Alright I'm ready to go Lucas…"

EJ:

"Sorry, wrong baby daddy."

Rafe:

"EJ what's going on here?"

EJ:

"So you're waiting for Lucas to drop off my kids to you?"

Sami:

"No. They're my kids and you're not going to get anywhere near them ever again."

EJ:

"See that's where you're wrong. I will get my kids back and there's nothing that you or Lucas can do to stop me."

Sami:

"I'd like to see you try to take the kids from me."

EJ:

"Well it won't be hard to get the kids if you're dead."

Rafe freezes.

Rafe:

"That bastard."

Rafe rushes out of his office.

LUCAS' HOUSE

Alex is sitting on the couch looking through some files when Lucas and Sami walk in. She turns to see them walk through the door. She jumps up and walks over to them.

Alex:

"Thank goodness you guys are home. I was so worried."

Sami:

"Where are the kids?"

Alex:

"Upstairs sleep."

Sami:

"I'm going to see them."

Sami walks up the stairs. Lucas watches her go.

Alex:

"What happened? You guys smell like smoke."

Lucas:

"EJ found Sami at the penthouse and it caught on fire."

Alex:

"Oh my gosh."

Lucas:

"I got there just in time he was trying to kill her. We fought. I knocked him out then pulled Sami out."

Alex:

"You just left EJ there to die?"

Lucas:

"The rescue workers were going to help him."

Lucas walks into the living room.

Alex:

"Hopefully he survived.

Alex turns around and follows him in.

Lucas:

"I could care less about EJ surviving the fire he started."

Alex:

"You really want EJ's death on your conscious?"

Lucas:

"If EJ died tonight it wouldn't be my fault."

Alex:

"It would be Lucas. You knocked him unconscious preventing him from saving himself."

Lucas:

"What do you want me to do Alex? Go back and save him from the fire? Because he wouldn't do the same for me."

Alex:

"I'm sorry…I'm sorry Lucas. I just don't want the DiMera's to come after you."

Lucas:

"It's a little too late for that."

Alex:

"True."

Lucas:

"I don't want to fight about this."

Alex:

"Me neither. I'm just so worried about everything."

Lucas:

"Me too."

MAGGIE'S HOUSE

Melanie and Nathan continue to kiss. They stumble on the table. They stop kissing.

Melanie:

"Maybe we should take this upstairs."

Nathan:

"Good idea."

They kiss briefly then head for the kitchen door, but someone knocks on the door.

Nathan:

"Who the heck is that?"

Melanie:

"Oh my gosh. It could be Philip. You go in the living room."

Melanie pushes Nathan out the kitchen. She fixes her hair then walks to the door. She opens it. It's Arianna.

Melanie:

"Arianna? You're here kinda late."

Arianna:

"Sorry, but I have great news."

Melanie:

"What?"

Arianna:

"Brady and I are getting married."

Melanie:

"Oh my gosh. Congratulations, so when is the big day?"

Arianna:

"Tonight."

Melanie's surprised.

Melanie:

"Wow that's fast."

Arianna:

"Yeah, I know, but it just feels right. So you will be one of our witnesses?"

Melanie:

"Uh of course."

Arianna:

"Yay, now we just need on more."

Melanie:

"I can help you out with that."

Melanie smiles.

THE PUB

Chloe:

"It's a long story that I don't want to get into right now."

Joy:

"Fine, but you have to tell me Chloe. I want to be here with my big sister."

Chloe smiles. At the bar, Pete gives Honor a burger, fries, and a milkshake.

Honor:

"Thank you Philip for buying me something to eat. Joy has been starving me all day."

Philip:

"You're welcome. So why are you guys here?"

Honor:

"Joy got a call from Chloe and she felt that Chloe was is some kind of trouble so she hopped on the first plane here and I just followed."

Joy walks over.

Joy:

"Come on Honor, we need to find a hotel room."

Philip:

"You guys can stay at the mansion tonight."

Honor:

"A mansion?"

Chloe walks over.

Chloe:

"Victor isn't going to like that. They can stay with me at Nicole's."

Philip:

"Uh no. All three of you are coming home with me."

Chloe:

"Philip, that's a bad idea."

Philip:

"Oh and staying at Nicole's is better? Look I can sneak you guys in the back and on the complete opposite side of my dad. You guys will be out before he'll even realize you guys were in."

Honor:

"How many sides does this mansion have?"

Philip:

"A few."

Honor:

"I vote mansion."

Philip:

"What do you say Chloe?"

Chloe:

"Okay then we can do it."

Honor:

"Yes I'm so happy I skipped school today."

SAMI'S PENTHOUSE

Rafe pulls up and rushes to the building. Evan stops him.

Evan:

"You can't go in."

Rafe:

"My girlfriend's in there."

Evan:

"Sami Brady right?"

Rafe:

"Yeah, do you know something?"

Evan:

"Yeah she was rescues by Lucas Horton. They went back to his place."

Rafe:

"Thank you."

Rafe leaves.

THE PARK

Brady stands in the park as Arianna, Melanie, and Nathan walks in. Brady has decorated the park benches with red rose petals and hung white lights around them and the stone wall arch. In his hands was a bouquet of red roses.

Brady:

"I got these for you."

Arianna smiles and takes them from Brady's hands.

Arianna:

"Thank you they're so beautiful."

Brady:

"Sorry it's not some big fancy shindig."

Arianna:

"I don't care I love it."

They kiss.

Melanie:

"Hey now save some of that for after the ceremony."

They laugh. The justice of the peace walks up.

Justice of the Peace:

"Are you two ready to begin?"

Brady:

"Yes, yes we are."

Justice of the Peace:

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here this evening to unite Brady Black and Arianna Hernandez in holy matrimony. IF there is any just cause why these two should not be wed please speak now or forever hold your peace."

He pauses. Everyone looks around.

Justice of the Peace:

"Alright then. Who gives away this couple?"

Melanie:

"I do your um…peaceness, Melanie Layton."

Nathan:

"And I, Nathan Horton."

Brady and Arianna smile.

Justice of the Peace:

"Very well, now to the vows; the rings?"

Arianna:

"Oh we don't have any."

Brady:

"You're wrong."

Brady pulls the rings out of his pockets.

Brady:

"Do these familiar?"

Arianna:

"They do. I can't believe you kept up with them."

Brady:

"You forgot you asked me too?"

Arianna:

"I thought you would have gotten rid of them by now."

Brady:

"Nope."

Arianna smiles as she takes Brady's ring from him.

Justice of the Peace:

"Arianna, place the ring on Brady."

Arianna:

"I do."

"Now Brady, would you place Arianna's ring on her finger?"

Brady:

"Of course."

Brady takes Arianna's hand and places her ring on her finger.

Justice of the Peace:

"Do you Brady Black take Arianna Hernandez to be my beloved wife to have and to hold you, to honor you, to treasure you, to be at your side in sorrow and in joy, in the good times, and in the bad, and to love and cherish you always and to promise from your heart, for all the days of our lives?"

"I so do."

LUCAS' HOUSE

Lucas walks downstairs and heads into the living room where Alex is sitting. She looks up at him as he walks into the room.

Alex:

"How's Sami and the kids?"

Lucas sits down on the couch next to Alex.

Lucas:

"Kids are asleep. Sami is still up watching Sydney sleep."

Alex:

"Poor Sami and Sydney for having to deal with EJ DiMera."

Lucas:

"Let's not talk about EJ anymore."

Alex:

"Okay I can deal with that."

Lucas puts his arm around Alex.

Alex:

"So what do you want to talk about?"

Lucas:

"How about you making yourself at home already with all these files."

Lucas throws some papers in the air. Alex laughs. Lucas goes to kiss Alex, but someone rings the doorbell.

Lucas:

"I better go get that."

Lucas gets up to answer the door. Alex watches as he opens the door and it's Rafe.

Rafe:

"Where's Sami?"

Lucas:

"She's upstairs."

Rafe rushes upstairs. Lucas closes the door and walks back over to the couch and sits down.

Alex:

"Sami's going to be so happy to see Rafe."

Lucas:

"It's about time he showed up."

Alex punches him in the arm.

Lucas:

"Ouch."

Sami sits by Sydney's bedside watching her sleep.

Sami:

"Sydney, I love you so much and I will never let EJ anywhere near you again not after what he has done to you and to me. Gosh, I'm so sorry for everything."

Rafe stands in the doorway.

Sami:

"I'm just….I'm such a horrible mother."

Rafe:

"No you're not."

Sami turns around and sees Rafe standing there. He walks into the room. She stands up and they hug.

Sami:

"Rafe, I'm so happy to see you finally."

Rafe:

"I'm sorry, I left my phone at the office when I was handling Anna."

They stop hugging.

Sami:

"Lucas told me you found Anna. I overheard EJ yelling at Nicole about how he kidnapped Sydney. I just went off on him and then…"

Rafe:

"That doesn't matter anymore. EJ is going down for everything."

Sami:

"I hope so."

Rafe:

"I'm going to make sure of it."

Sami:

"I'm so happy to have you in my life."

Sami and Rafe hug again.
