Note: And one thing you need to know about this fic is that Will is a super genius, only no one knows! Other than that, this story occurs back when Sami lived with Eric and Nicole was trying to get Lucas to drink due to Sami.

"Tonight Pinky, we do what we always do...take over the world!" Will echoed along with 'the Brain' as his second favorite cartoon faded to commercial. No one was looking, so Will stood up and turned off the T.V. his tiny legs caring him through the living room and into his bedroom. Crouching low, he stuck his baby hands between his mattresses and pulled out 'The Document'. If his Grandma Kate knew what he had, she would be hysterical; and Nasty Nicole, she'd be sick. Yup, she probably would throw up all over herself. Will snickered at the thought. Carefully, he read over 'The Document' one more time, liking the way Nicole's name was signed right under the 5 million dollar deduction. It was official Titan business. Silly Grandma, she didn't know he could read. Nobody did and Will liked it that way. Pushing the paper back under the mattress, Will scurried into the kitchen where he stood silently spying on his mother, the object of his Plan. She was on the phone with another one of those pushy telemarketers. Will could tell that she was losing her patience by the way she bunched up her face. Who ever she was talking to didn't know it, but they were in serious trouble. Will leaned back against the doorframe to listen; this should be good he thought. His mommy was smart, almost as smart as him.

"I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm a psychic. And I am picking up some very bad vibes from you. There is something extremely wrong at your house. You better call home. Right now. Do it! Do it Now!"

The tone of Sami's voice was as serious and commanding as a drill sergeant, but her amused smile betrayed her intentions. Too bad the telemarketer couldn't see it as Sami hung up the phone. She turned around to see doe eyes starring at her in serious contemplation. "That'll teach them, huh Will?" Will just blinked his eyes knowing his silence would prompt his mother into spilling all her secrets. Will liked secrets almost as much as he liked pretending. He especially liked to pretend that he was asleep, because then he found out all kinds of interesting things. As Will predicted his continued silence caused Sami to babble. She squirmed a bit under his study and rambled on.

"Well, it's not like I told her to go home or anything. And like she's really going to believe me anyway. I mean how stupid can she be. Besides, it will give her something to talk about tonight. I'm sure her life is very boring and thanks to me, she now has a funny story to tell her husband or boyfriend. Really...I mean it's funny...maybe a little mean, but ajoke..ha ha... anyone with a sense of humor would--"

The phone rang. Sami jumped and turned away from her stoic son to pick up the receiver.

"Hello?...I'm sorry."

Will watched as Sami twisted the phone cord in her hands, pacing back and forth nervously. He liked the way her blue dress twirled like Minnie Mouse as she fidgeted.
" I know it was a really mean thing to do and I felt guilty right after I did it, but you were like the tenth telemarketer to call today and I just got fed up....I'm so sorry, I know I would be freaking out too...I believe in psychics too. I'm SO sorry."

Click.

Will scowled at his mother in disappointment. She should of kept the girl going!

For her part, Sami was ashamed. What had she been thinking, picking on that poor girl like that! In front of her son, no less! By the look on his face, he must think she was really horrible. Well, there was nothing she could do about it now, except damage control so she leaned down and scooped Will up into her arms. Sighing she brushed back his dusky hair and lifted his chin.

"What do you say, we blow this Popsicle stand and go get some ice-cream! Hmmm..little man?"

Will let his bottom lip quiver for a fraction of a second before rewarding her with a grin.

"Yaay! Can Daddy Come?"

"No Will, I don't think that would be a good idea. How about I call Uncle Austin?"

Will squished up his mouth in a serious pout.

"Want DADDY!" he screamed.

"Will! That's quite enough. I told you No. Daddy's at work right now and I'm sure he has lots to do."

Responding to her anger, Will quickly changed tactics and let his eyes grow wide and teary.

"Want Daddy." He whimpered pathetically.

Immediately, Sami felt guilty for yelling at him. His sad little expression twisted her guts. As much as she hated Lucas, her poor little son loved him and she knew he was feeling torn between them. Well, soon she would have full custody of Will and he'd finally get some stability back into his life, so what could it hurt to throw Lucas a bone and make her son happy? Besides, she could feel him out and see if Nicole was holding up her end of the bargain.

"Alright Will, I'll call Daddy and see if he can come."

"Yaay! Panda wants to come too!"
Scooting down off of Sami, Will made a mad dash for his room. He grabbed 'The Document' and stuffed it inside his Panda Bear puppet, then he ran back to Sami. Yes, his plan was coming together nicely. Soon his mommy and daddy would be together and he would have a real family. Sitting on the couch, waiting for his mother to finish her call, Will made his Panda talk. "Now we do what we always do...take over the world!"

Warning: um... this one gets a little racy. I think it is PG-13. Don't worry though this is as steamy as I'll get.

"Sami is the best. You love Sami. She is all you can think about." Over and over the message played from the hidden Fisher Price tape recorder stashed behind the nightstand. Sporadically Sami's honey voice would interrupt saying, "I love Lucas." Will couldn't believe how long it had taken him to splice that little phrase into existence; he sure hoped his mother appreciated all he went through for her. He knew it was a risk, that he could easily get caught; but Will was sick of waiting for his stupid parents to get a clue and subliminal conditioning just might work. Satisfied that the volume would not disturb his sleeping father or (shudder) his stepmother, Will crept out of their bedroom. So what if his plan at the ice-cream shop was foiled, he still had the 'Document' and now he had an additional tactic. "Pleasant dreams, Dad." He whispered on his way out.

***********

Lucas was sitting to the right of his son while Sami sat to the left. Each of them was holding a chocolate ice-cream cone and Will was prattling on and on to his Panda puppet. He was saying something about taking over the world but Lucas couldn't quite make it out because his whole field of vision was torn before the image of Sami. The sun was in her hair cascading down in bright white highlights to wave against her shoulders. The simple halter style dress that she wore was a dark blue that deepened her eyes into the color of the ocean. And her petal soft lips slid across the ice-cream in innocent pleasure. She was stunning, miraculous, and without a hint of contempt.

"Why are you starring at me?" Sami continued to lick her cone, quizzald. "You're the one who has ice-cream on his chin."

She smiled and leaned over and he felt like his heart was going to stop when she cupped his chin and lightly brushed her mouth against his skin. In that moment the world stopped, the ice-cream parlor faded, and now he and Sami were at the cave where they had found shelter after the helicopter crash. Pale moonlight glinted off the rocky walls, the wind was fresh with pine, and she was in his arms.

"Where's Will?" he pushed back her hair to caress her cheek.

"Don't you remember? Kate interrupted, she said you were needed at the office. She took Will home."

"Then why am I here?" Desperately he searched her eyes, his desire for her causing him to shake as he reached out to trace his fingers against her lips.

"Because I love you Lucas."

There was no more hesitation, only the feel of her warm mouth against his, the brush of her silky body flush with his,and her seeking hands. The tightness within him grew and ached, as they sank kneeling on the hard ground. Frantically Sami struggled with his buttons as Lucas slowly pulled the straps of her dress down off her shoulders, gently kissing the exposed skin. His white oxford shirt was still giving Sami trouble making her pull on it in frustration. As impatient as her, Lucas finally ripped it off and threw the offensive garment away to Sami's pleased laughter. Joyfully she trailed wet butterfly kisses across his chest as he nuzzled her neck, breathing in the sweet scent of her hair. She continued to kiss and nip at him, her talented tongue eliciting wave after wave of heat throughout his body. A low moan washed over him and Lucas was overcome with need. His desire to be even closer to her made his hands quick and sure as he deftly freed her from the last of her garments. For a moment he stopped, in the moonlight she looked like a goddess carved from marble or Venus come to life, how her beauty awed him. He was almost afraid to touch her...almost. Pulling her with him, he lowered himself positioning her so that she straddled his body while he lay upon the rough cool earth. She mewed his name over and over as they touched and kissed and made love. He was drowning and flying at the same time, the pressure within him so intense that time shattered till he was only aware of her and him and this all in compassing desire.

"Sami", he screamed her name in release.

With a start, Lucas woke, the sweat pouring off his body, the sheets a twisted shambles. With dawning horror he realized he could still taste her, smell her while his heart pounded in his ears and a wrenching emptiness twisted at his guts. What the hell had that been about? Sami? He didn't want Sami, did he? He loved his wife, Nicole. Oh my God, Nicole! What if she heard, what if she knew he was dreaming about another woman... Sami, no less? Tentatively, he looked towards her side of the bed. To his great relief, she was sleeping. Sighing, Lucas turned to his wife smiling at the steady rise and fall of her chest and her graceful lips slightly parted just begging to be kissed. With such an invitation, he decided to oblige her hoping to rid himself of Sami's memory.

"Wake up sleeping beauty." He meant for it to be only the lightest of caresses, but she captured his mouth and drew him into a bruising kiss.

"Good morning Eric," she said snidely. "Oh wait that's right your Lucas, My Husband. I'm sure you understand how it is though, seeing how your dreaming of one of the Brady twins yourself!" With that Nicole grabbed the sheets and stormed out of the bedroom, with Lucas begging apologies behind her.
Will watched them from the hall letting out an evil laugh, "Ha ha hah, Ha ha hah," reminiscent of Mandark from Dexter's Lavatory, "Ah my evil plan is coming together nicely."

With Bonnie Raitt and The Dimming of the Day blaring in the background, Sami pushed and heaved the heavy couch forward. A litter of M&M's and hot wheel cars were revealed, a reward for her vigilance. Grunting, garbage bag in hand, she bent to salvage the cars and remove the stale candy. She felt a little like a warrior, the purpose and pride coursing through her body as she attacked yet another mess. She had been cleaning all day. And it felt good to eliminate even this small chaos, adding the outward appearance of order to her otherwise crazy life. These past few weeks had been more than strange. What with Nicole following her around like a lost puppy and those insanely vivid dreams of Lucas. Just like Lucas to weasel his way into her subconscious, tormenting her with confused emotion just when her efforts to get Will were about to pay off. Why, oh why, did she have to choose now to start lusting after Lucas?

"What's the matter?" Eric's concerned voice interrupted her brooding.

"Nothing's the matter, I'm just cleaning." Sami ignored him and continued to pick up.

"Exactly, you only clean like this when you're upset." Eric sauntered over and grabbed the bag out of Sami's hands forcing her to pay attention. "What did Lucas do now?"

"Nothing. I told you, nothing's the matter. And why would Lucas be a problem anyway? Nicole and him are almost splits and I'm this close to getting custody of Will." Sami spread her thumb and forefinger an inch apart to emphasize her point.

"Then why are you screaming out his name every night? Come on Sami, I know you've been having nightmares about him." Eric held her shoulders, his eyes blazing with worry. "Please tell me, I'm your twin. I can feel something's wrong and I want to help."

Sami started to tremble. If only Eric knew what those nightmares really were about, he'd be disgusted with her. How could she tell her brother that she was having hot sex dreams about Lucas, the man who had taken his first love away from him; and that's why she was troubled. Uncomfortably, the moment stretched forth, neither of them speaking nor giving ground until the tension was abruptly splintered by the ring of the door bell.

"This isn't over." Eric cautioned as he went to open the door shocked to see Nicole waiting there with Will. "Nicole this isn't a good time. I can't talk with you right now-"

"Oh I don't want to talk with you; I'm here to see Sami." Nicole pushed past Eric as if he didn't exist, dragging Will behind her. "Hi Sami, I brought Will to see you. I thought we could all go to the park or maybe the zoo or the museum. The museum has a new dinosaur exhibit that I bet Will would just love! Wouldn't you little buddy." Nicole mussed up the disgruntled little boy's hair and plunged on not waiting for his answer, "And then you and I could talk and you can tell me where you bought that beautiful outfit."

"Um Nicole, I'm wearing jeans and a T-shirt. I bought them at K-mart."

"Still, you look so nice in everything you wear. You're the best Sami; I wish I was just like you." Nicole ended her speech in earnest and breathless hope. Sami looked at her in bemusement while Nicole pleaded in wide-eyed silence. It was getting harder and harder for Sami to dislike Nicole since the girl was so eager to please.

"Ok. We'll spend the day together. Thank you, Nicole for bringing Will along."

"Oh you won't be disappointed. Just wait till I tell you about Kate...Victor almost caught her in bed with Nicholas! It was unbelievable..." Nicole kept up an endless babble as she pulled Sami and Will out the door while Eric looked on in amazement. Nicole was acting like a teenybopper, a fanatic, with Sami as her idol. Weird.

Right before he was yanked out into the hall, Will stopped to give Eric a conspiratorial wink. Will laughed to himself as he saw Eric's confusion grow, loving how Nicole had responded to the tapes. Her reaction is mainly why he wasn't quite ready to deliver the "Document" into his father's hands. Nicole was taking him to see his mother every day and every day they went to some new fun place! Not to mention that his father seemed to be enjoying his dream-life. He even over-heard grandma ask daddy why he slept so much. Poor grandma thought daddy was depressed! Ha! Yes, Will thought smugly, life is good when you're a super-genius.

Small rainbows fluttered across the wall as Will twirled a chandelier crystal in the light. Perfect, he thought clasping the crystal in his hand and tying his black shoestring around it. Now if only his bull- headed mother would be as susceptible as he hoped. He really hadn't wanted to go to such lengths, since hypnotism is no child's game as his grandmother Black always pointed out; but his mother was just plain stubborn. It made him so angry to think that his mom continued to avoid his father, even in her dreams by purposely avoiding sleep. Wearily she dragged herself about everyday, just because she supposedly loved Uncle Austin and hated his father. Well, Will decided enough was enough and the time to reveal the 'Document' was almost at hand. But, first he needed to make his mother ditch both Uncle Austin and that loser Brandon.

"Will, your mother's here to pick you up", Grandma Kate's voice boomed up the mansion stairs breaking Will out of his reverie.

"Mommy..." Will joyfully screamed as he bounded down the steps, "Look what I have, look what I have. Isn't it pretty?" Will crashed into his mother holding up the crystal.

"Yes honey its lovely. Did you make it all by yourself?"

"U-huh." Will nodded his head in mock exaggeration while Sami cooed on and on about how smart he was. If you only knew the half of it, Will thought, looking at his mother in wide-eyed innocence.


"Sami, Lucas wants to talk to you before you go. Something about the custody hearing, you might as well wait in the living room." Kate ushered them towards the couch and snidely whispered to Sami on the way, "What's the matter dear, you look simply terrible. Have you and Austin had a fight? Or maybe, all that running around your doing with Brandon behind Austin 's back is finally catching up with you? Hmmm...you miserable tramp."

"Oh shut-up Kate. Austin and I are fine. In fact, he's meeting me here to take Will to the park. And Brandon , while it's none of your business, is just a friend; and I think we both know that the only paid whore in this room is you." Sami seethed back, barely audible.

Kate just smirked and threw Sami a disbelieving glare before haughtily sweeping out of the room. "Have fun with your mother Will," she called as she left.


Sami shook the scowl off her face and turned her attention to her tiny son sitting next to her on the plush couch. "So lets see that pretty necklace again."

Yes. Will couldn't have asked for a more perfect opportunity. "Look mommy. See how pretty it is." Swinging the crystal back and forth, Will lowered his voice and continued to drone on. "See how it shines. My you look tired mommy."

"Yes Will, beautiful." Sami answered as her eyelids started to grow heavy and her voice drowsy. She really hadn't been getting enough sleep lately.

"Mommy watch the crystal, see how it swings back and forth and back and forth, so pretty. Doesn't it make you feel all nice and warm. Mommy you are so tired..."

...Ten minutes later

Will had just fed Sami the perfect trigger when Lucas walked into the room. Softly Will spoke so that only Sami could hear, "Ok mommy, when I snap my fingers you'll wake up as if from a long soothing nap. You'll be relaxed and happy and you won't remember a thing."

Lucas smiled at the two playing, and went over to the couch scooping his son onto his lap. Snapping his fingers together, Will grinned broadly as Sami opened her eyes and yawned.

"Mmmh, Will I'm sorry. Mommy's been tired lately. Your necklace is wonderful. Hi Lucas." Puzzled Sami tried to remember when Lucas had entered the room. Either he had appeared out of nowhere or she had indeed fallen asleep for a second there.

"I made it for you, Mommy."

"Thank you sweetie, I'll put it on right now." Sami was just about to take the homemade necklace when Lucas intercepted, inspecting Will's work. "Nice job buddy." Lucas praised as he turned the bobble over in his hands and held it up close to his eyes. "You have good taste. This is obviously an extra special gem, flawless and perfect, fit for a queen." Gently brushing back Sami's hair, Lucas draped Will's gift over Sami's throat his fingers momentarily caressing the soft skin of her neck, lingering there until the tiny quivers traversing Sami's body prompted her to flinch away.

"I could of done that." She said a little harsher than she meant to. Sighing, Lucas shrugged his shoulders and put Will down.

"Will, why don't you go ask Henderson to help you pack your bags for Mommy's house." Immediately Will scooted away with an 'Ok Daddy', but Lucas didn't hear or see him because Sami suddenly had her lips plastered all over his in a mind-numbing kiss. Surprised, Lucas opened his mouth to breath out her name only to find her tongue quickly darting around his. But it wasn't until she sucked ever so slightly upon his bottom lip, that he became undone. Perhaps this was another dream he thought as he gave into the sensations she was creating and drew her closer to him. Vaguely he was aware of her hands twisting against his shirt as he deliberately took control of the kiss, deepening it, slowing the pace. Sami moaned deep and throaty, warmth radiating through her body as he ran his hands through her glossy hair, tipping her head back ever so slightly and breaking the kiss only to trail his wet mouth along her throat. She was lost in a haze of desire. She needed him closer; she needed Lucas to-

"Oh my God!" The sound of Philip's milk glass crashing to the floor startled the two apart. Sami hurriedly clasped her gapping blouse together and slid as far away from Lucas as she possibly could on the couch. For his part, Lucas flipped out his handkerchief and wiped the lipstick from his mouth, avoiding both Phillip's and Sami's eyes. Sheepishly, Sami grinned at Phillip as if nothing were out of the ordinary.

"I know your technically sitting on a Loveseat, but this ridiculous. What's Austin going to think?" Phillip chastised.

"What's Austin going to think about what?" Interrupted Austin as he sauntered into the living room. "What the hell?"

Dumfounded Austin stared in shock at Sami's swollen lips and then at Lucas disheveled hair and blushing face. "This is not happening. No way." He shook his head in disbelief. Trembling, Sami hung her head and started to cry unable to bear the look of horror on Austin 's face, "It's not what you think Austin ."

"Then what is it Sami? Did he force himself on you?" At Austin 's pleading words, a chill went down Lucas's spine. Like hell was Sami going to pin this one on him.

"More like she forced herself on me."

"Shut-up Lucas!" Both Sami and Austin commanded. In the following silence Austin stared at Sami, "What happened here Sami? If he hurt you so help me, I'll kill him."

Before Lucas could cut in again, Sami answered weakly, "He didn't hurt me. I...we...I don't know what happened. One second we were talking and the next..."

"That's not good enough."

"You know I hate Lucas. I'd never...not in my right mind. He must of drugged me or something. "

"What a crock. I'd never stoop to your level Sami. Where do you get off anyway. Like I want you, when I have Nicole."

" Henderson , we need a towel in here." Phillip called out, uncomfortable with all the tension as he busied himself picking up shards of glass.

Suddenly, Sami threw herself at Lucas again kissing his very breath away, frantic with passion. Stunned Lucas found himself responding, the force of her actions banishing every other thought from his head.

"Sami!" Austin barked as he pried her away from Lucas.

Not even daring to glance at Austin, Sami wildly ran from the room. Her confused sobs reverberated achingly behind her. Clenching his fists together, Austin looked down at Lucas for a second and then stormed out the front door with Phillip racing behind him. At that moment, Henderson returned with Will, a rag slung over his shoulder. The epitome of tact, Henderson ignored Lucas's appearance and asked, "Where's Miss Brady?"

Lucas tried and failed to smile at his son. "I'll go get her. I'll be right back Will, with mommy. Don't you worry."


Watching his father whisk away, Will found that he wasn't worried a bit. ' Henderson ' was the perfect trigger word!

She wore a tight, sliming black skirt of leather and a mid-drift flowered shirt. Her long pacing gait drew interest to her graceful legs and swaying hips, while her golden hair piled in a neat French twist expertly called attention to her pretty face; but Austin barely registered that it was Nicole standing in front of him much less notice that she was flirting, because his thoughts were focused on Sami and Lucas kissing. He just couldn't shake the image out of his head. They
had looked so passionate, so in love, so perfectly made for each other-- and, damn it! Sami was his!

"Are you sure she was kissing him?"

"Very."

"Well it's about time! You know, I told her she had feelings for Lucas. But would she listen to me, Nooo! It was always Austin this and Austin that and I have to go to the strip club with Brandon ; but I was right all along and she finally kissed him! ...This is so cool!..." Austin couldn't believe what he was hearing or seeing. Nicole was actually jumping up and down with excitement!

"Strip club? No wait, never mind, let's stay focused here. Lucas your Husband was kissing my girlfriend. Shouldn't you be a little upset?"

"Oh Austin , I'm sorry that wasn't very nice of me. You must feel awful. I know I would if I just lost Sami; she's so perfect."

Nicole sank down next to Austin on the front door stoop and patted his hand.

"Now don't get me wrong, it's just that things with me and Lucas...well to be honest with you, ours is a marriage of convenience. And, I want him to be happy, almost as much as I want Sami to be happy. Trust me Austin, she's not the girl for you. She has and always has been in love with Lucas."

Smiling at him as she would a handicapped child, Nicole kissed his cheek and stood up.

"I can't miss this. Maybe Lucas will want a divorce! Maybe he'll ask Sami to marry him and I can be the maid of honor!"

On that giddy note, Nicole scooted into the mansion leaving a bewildered and slack jawed Austin behind. Had the whole world gone mad!

...back in the Kiriakis kitchen

More than a little agitated, Lucas found Sami leaning over the kitchen sink splashing cool water in her face. She had her hair tied up in a quick and messy pony tail, and the v-neck of her baby blue blouse hung dangerously open so that he could follow the water rivulets trickling towards her lacy red bra with his eyes. Obviously, she was trying to collect herself and failing miserably.

"You know if you need to, you can always take a cold shower in the guest bathroom." Lucas baited as he motioned for the servants to leave and ambled towards her.

Furious, Sami quickly turned towards him and fumbled with the buttons of her blouse, "Get out! I don't want to talk to you right now!"

Lucas grabbed her shaking hands and started to do up her buttons. "I don't know what your game is Sami, but you started it; and if you think I'm going to leave without an explanation your crazy."

"Fine, I'll leave then," Sami stood perfectly still mesmerized by the simple motion of his buttoning her shirt. Staring at his strong hands, she drew an involuntary breath. "Stop." She placed her palms over his.

Sami didn't realized that by touching him she had spliced what little control Lucas had left. The dreams that he had been having of her coupled with the kiss they had shared minutes before had left his senses sharp and vulnerable. Lifting her chin, Lucas murmured seductively, "I had a dream like this once, only we were having trouble taking the shirt off."

"Lucas don't, I love Austin ."

"You don't know what love is."

"And I suppose you do? As if you and Nic-" Completely ignoring her weak distractions, Lucas stopped her words with a warm demanding kiss.

They continued to explore each other, so wholly absorbed in the experience that both failed to notice Nicole when she peered in from the doorway. Naturally, they also failed to hear her whoop of delight and so then they missed the high five she gave Will as she returned to the living room.

" Henderson , I believe that Will's mom and dad are indisposed at the moment. They are having a very serious conversation and they should not be disturbed. If they question where Will is, tell them I took him out for a root beer float. And whatever you do, do not let Kate or Austin anywhere near them. Got it Henderson !"

"Yes Ma'm!" Henderson promptly responded to Nicole's tone and Will's mock salute, as the two departed.


Wrapping a burgundy towel around her damp, lavender scented body, Kate reluctantly left the bathroom. She had spent the last hour soaking in the tub trying unsuccessfully to forget her troubles with Victor. How could she have been so careless? He meant everything to her and she had thrown his true-love aside for a lust driven imitation. Worse, her
actions had placed her own future and that of her family in jeopardy. She really needed to talk damage control withLucas.

Crossing the hallway towards her new quarters, Kate spotted Henderson from the corner of her eye dusting in the living room. " Henderson , have you seen Lucas?" she called out.

Henderson turned his back away from Kate and continued to attend to the china cabinet pretending that he hadn't heard her.

" Henderson , I asked you a question!" Irritated, Kate trampled into the living room.

"Um. Sorry Miss Roberts, I didn't hear."

"Have.. You.. seen.. my.. Son.. Lucas?" Kate asked very slowly and deliberately.

"No... not in the last half hour." Henderson vaguely replied, uncertain how he was suppose to keep Kate away from Lucas and Sami, as Nicole had asked.

"Well do you know where he is?"

"Yes." A long and uncomfortable silence followed his answer as Kate waited, arms crossed and nostrils flaring.

Finally she exploded, "Well where is he already!"

Like a rabbit playing dead, Henderson became very still and silent. Exasperated, Kate made a move to stand directly in front of him, but he turned his back and started dusting the tiffany lamp beside the china cabinet. Surprised, Kate tried once more to face the butler but yet again he turned.

" Henderson , look at me!" Keeping his head down, Henderson complied.

"Now I'll ask you one more time...and if I do not get an immediate and clear answer from you. I'll have you dismissed. Do you understand me, old man?"

Because she was so engrossed in her tirade, Kate failed to recognize that a very displeased Victor had entered the room. "Kate! How dare you talk to my employees that way! You no longer have the right or the authority to speak in such a manner! I won't have it, do you Understand me?"
"Victor, please you're jumping to conclusions. I simply asked Henderson where Lucas was, but he wouldn't answer and worse he wouldn't even look me in the face. What would you have me do?"

"Did it ever occur to you Kate, that perhaps you're embarrassing Henderson by parading around in nothing but a towel?"

"Oh my God, I never thought...I'm sorry Henderson ...please forgive me." Kate had the grace to blush while the butler continued to fidget.

"You may go Henderson ."

"But Lucas-"

"Go Henderson ." Gratefully Henderson fled from the room while Kate watched speechless. Before she could dig into Victor for his heartless behavior he answered her question.

"Lucas is upstairs sleeping. Apparently, he isn't feeling well. I'm heading back to Titan and I don't wish to be disturbed. I suggest you get some clothes on." With that he coolly exited the room.

Kate felt completely humiliated and alone. In that instant, she knew Victor would never forgive her. All the years of love they had shared. All the pain she had endured at Vivian's hands. All of it, for nothing! Crying, she sped up the stairs seeking the one person she could always count on to listen to her and comfort her. Recklessly, she swung open his door, to the shock of her life. She was flabbergasted. The heart in her chest actually stopped beating for a moment as she tried to assimilate what she was seeing. It was inconceivable!

"Lucas Remove Your Tongue From Her Mouth This Instant!" She practically screamed, which made it all the more surprising when Lucas and Sami continued to make love, completely oblivious to her presence.

Unable to stand it anymore, Kate rushed to the bed and pulled Sami by the hair onto the floor.

"Tramp! Whore! How dare you! Get the hell out right now!" she raged as she kicked at Sami.

Stunned, Lucas looked on in disbelief until he realized Sami was getting hurt. "No Mom, Stop it! Right Now!" He yelled as he tried to restrain her, but before he could reach his mother, Sami grabbed at one of Kate's lashing feet and flipped her to the ground. They continued to struggle plummeting each other with both fists and words, wrapped up in a heap of sheets. Lucas didn't dare get between them and wisely chose to run for a bucket of water. He poured it as best he could directly over Kate and effectively stopped the fight. "Enough! Mother leave Sami alone!" He commanded as he pulled Sami up next to him. With her dark hair matted against her face, Kate sat on the floor drenched and amazingly still in her towel, looking for all the world like a peeved cat.
"Lucas, this is crazy and you know it! Sami is our enemy! She put the both of us through Hell and now I find you sleeping with her? Have you gone insane! Get her out of this house Right Now! And then we'll talk!"

"I'm only going to say this once mother so listen carefully...Sami is not the enemy, she never was. I'm just finally coming to my senses and I LOVE her. You have no right interfering. Come on Sami we're leaving. I'll talk to you later mother." Still in their underwear, Lucas and Sami both grabbed at their clothes and made to leave while Kate glared in sputtering indignation. "But, Lucas-"

"No buts mother. We're leaving." Scooping up the last of his clothes Lucas pulled a smirking Sami out the door, but Sami gripped the frame and turned towards Kate for one last parting remark.

"See you Kate, or should I call you Mom; you know if you're really good and behave yourself we'll even invite you to the wedding-Ah", she yelped as Lucas dragged her into the hallway.

Spanking Sami smartly on the behind, He grinned from ear to ear. "She's not the only one who needs to learn to behave. That was suppose to be a surprise!"

"What can I say, good news travels fast. I can't wait to tell Will!"

"And I can't wait to make you my wife." Lucas said as he claimed her mouth in a possessive kiss.


Will was flying, the soft white lights blurring together before his eyes as he pranced and slid to the tune of 'Dance Little Jean'. Cutting a fine, if small figure, in his black tux, he dominated the ball room floor along with his equally decked out partner, Nicole. He liked the splash of color she made as she spun in circles, her purple chiffon bridesmaid dress swirling in her wake. They were quite the little show stoppers, he was sure of it. Even Austin and Brandon had to smile at his antics, his joy as contagious as his parents' bliss. His plans couldn't have worked out more perfectly he thought to himself as Nicole twirled him around and around to the lilting melody. Long ago he had stopped his scheming-no more subliminal messages, no hypnosis, and no need to even reveal the 'Document'. His parents had fallen deeply in
love with each other and all it took was a little push in the right direction.

Happily smiling, Will caught sight of them from the corner of his eyes holding on to each other's hands as they talked to Henderson . Suddenly, he saw his mother plant one lollapalooza of a kiss on his father's mouth. Thunderous laughter swept the room as Victor shouted out to the newlyweds to get a room already, and Belle pulled the mortified butler away to dance. With some difficulty the Bride and Groom separated themselves and continued to greet their guests. Will chuckled to himself, he thought he had taken care of that little side-effect. Oh Well, it wasn't like Henderson was going to live with them or anything. Besides, even super geniuses have the occasional off day. He'd just have to be more careful with his next project. Will
looked from Nicole and Austin grinning evilly to himself; he just bet that the bouquet and garter were going to be caught by them.

Dance Little Jean. This day is for you. Two people you love, have finally said 'I Do'. Dance Little Jean. The prayer that
you had, Was answered today. Your Mom is marrying your Dad!

Note: Dance Little Jean, is by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

The End
