Chapter 18, The Finale
MELASWEN ISLAND
Lucas: When I registered on Facebook, I used Roberts instead of Horton because I wanted to get in touch with some of my buddies from the academy. They only knew me as Lucas Roberts.
Sami: Uh oh. I just remembered something.
Lucas: What?
Sami: Nothing. You’ll be mad.
Lucas: Lucy, splain please.
Sami: I wrote something on your Facebook wall that might embarrass you.
Lucas: What did you write? When she doesn’t answer, Lucas pulls out his Blackberry and logs into Facebook.
Sami's Facebook post: General, some days the only thing that keeps me from losing my mind while I'm here all by myself is picturing you wearing those ridiculous boxer shorts Will gave you.
Sami grabs the phone and they playfully use it as a hot potato. Lucas starts tickling Sami and then pulls her into a kiss.
Sami [coming up for air]: Wow, I remember you were always a great kisser, and you haven’t lost your touch. Now I know for sure that you missed me, didn’t you?
Lucas: Honey, you have no idea.
Sami: I missed you too, Lucas. I thought about you all the time. You, and our children. Lucas, how are they? How’s Will? How are the twins?
Lucas: They’re fine. They’re great. You’d be so proud of them.
Sami: I’ve missed so much time with them.
Lucas: We’ve got a lot of time to make up for. We’ll call Will when we get to Switzerland.
Sami: Switzerland???
Lucas: That’s where your mother and John live. I sent the twins to stay with them. We’ll stop by and pick them up on the way home.
Sami: Home ... Lucas, I don’t want our children growing up in Salem. Even with the Dimeras locked up, I don’t want to take the chance that they’ll go through the same things we did.
Lucas: That’s fine. We’ll live somewhere else.
Sami: Like where?
Lucas: Well, we have the whole planet to choose from. We could live in Switzerland near your mother, or in Africa near my father....
Sami: Africa, huh? Sounds like the start of a new adventure for us.
Lucas: Sami, where we live doesn’t matter, just as long as we’re together. My home is wherever you are.
Sami: Oh Lucas. I love you so much.
Lucas: I love you too, Sami. I always have and I always will.
Lucas and Sami kiss, long and passionately.
Lucas: No doubt about it. You are definitely my Sami.
Sami: And you are definitely my General. And my hero.
Lucas: Before we leave here, I have just one question for you. He gets a twinkle in his eye. Is that bed in there sturdy?
Sami [with an equally mischievous look in her eye]: Are you kidding? No bed is sturdy enough for us. But I’m willing to take the risk if you are.
