Sami sat there staring at Kate with a smile plastered on her face. She was waiting for her mother to come out and tear Kate to shreds…which she knew would happen as soon as Marlena came out of the kitchen, however Kate must not think so or else she wouldn’t still be standing there. Sami just looked at her with an amused look on her face, “Kate…do you have a death wish. I am telling you…you better leave before my mother comes back out here.” Kate looked at Sami snidely, “Please Sami…quit being so melodramatic. Marlena is hardly going to come out here and claw my eyes out.” Sami was about to speak when she heard her mother re-enter from the kitchen just in time to hear what Kate said. Marlena stopped in her tracks at the sound of Kate’s comment, “I wouldn’t be so sure about that Kate! I though that I told you to leave?” Sami stood from the sofa and walked by Kate, “Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”
Marlena walked up to Kate and stopped about two feet in front of her, her hands firmly planted on her hips, “Kate…have you become hard of hearing? Get OUT!” Kate looked at Marlena in shock, “Marlena…what has gotten into you?” “Nothing has GOTTEN INTO me Kate. I just don’t find it amusing when people break into my home!” Kate gave a rye laugh, “Oh please Marlena I hardly broke in. I have a key.” Kate held it up in front of Marlena’s face. Marlena drew in a deep breath and stared at the key through squinted eyes. Sami looked at her mother and saw that her blood pressure was rising at a dangerously fast rate. Sami glanced at Kate who was still holding the key in front of Marlena’s face. In one swift motion Sami grabbed the key out of Kate’s hand, “There you go…problem solved. Now Kate you have no more excuses for dropping by here uninvited.” Kate stepped back and looked at Sami with venom in her eyes, “Give that BACK Sami.” Kate went to step towards Sami but Marlena stepped in front of her and blocked her path, ”I don’t think so Kate. There is no longer a need for you to have a key to MY home.” Kate took a deep breath, “Whether you like it or not Marlena…this was my home. John gave me that key, he wanted me to have it. He WANTED me to live here with him.” Marlena took a deep breath. She regained her composer and spoke in a calm voice, “That may very well be true Kate. But you see that was because, I wasn’t here! The only reason he wanted you here was to fill up space!” Sami began to laugh, “Good one mom.” Kate turned to Sami, “Shut UP Sami!” Sami stepped up beside Marlena, “Truth hurt Kate? The only reason that John let you into his life was because he felt empty without my mother. You know…John and I may not have always seen eye to eye…but one thing that I know beyond a shadow of a doubt is that MY mother is his whole life! Of course you already knew that…that is why you used his grief to move in on him.” Kate began laughing, “Oh please Sami…I hardly forced John to have a relationship with me. He pursued me to!” Marlena let out a frustrated groan, “Oh really Kate? How exactly did he pursue you? Did he chase you around town in a wheelchair? He was paralyzed Kate…and you used it against him. You used that along with his grief over losing me to your advantage…and you eventually wore him down.” Kate turned back to Marlena and laughed bitterly in her face, “Get over yourself Marlena! You are hardly irreplaceable!” Sami fumed at this comment. She walked up to Kate and slightly shoved her away from Marlena, “You see Kate that is where you are mistaken! Personally I think that if you could…you would trade places with my mother in a heart beat.” Kate huffs, “What on earth would make you think that?” Sami laughs as she places her arm around her mothers shoulder, “Well just think about it Kate. First we have my father, whom my mother had a relationship with. Then we have my stepfather, whom my mother is currently married too…” Marlena walked away at the mention of Kate and John together. She got caught up in the moment and forgot about John leaving, but it all came crashing back to her in that instance. However Kate didn’t notice Marlena’s change in demeanor and she continued fighting with Sami. “There are some things that you and your mother ought to know Sami. John is a grown man. If he didn’t want to be with me…he wouldn’t have. I didn’t force him to ask me to move in here. I didn’t force him to propose to me. And I sure as HELL didn’t force him to make love to me…he wanted me as much as I wanted him! Apparently he wanted me more than any of you realize, why else would Marlena have been staying with Belle when she got home? Maybe John wasn‘t as eager to get back to his marriage as you think he was.” These comments were sending Marlena into a tailspin. Just the though of this vile woman laying her hands on her husband drove Marlena over the edge. Marlena whipped around and was starring daggers at Kate. She walked towards Kate with determined purpose in her step. Out of the corner of her eye Sami saw Marlena approaching and impeded her steps. “Mom…don’t let her get to you.” Marlena laughed bitterly, “Oh on the contrary Sami…I am just going to give Kate the facts. You see Kate…the night we came home…when John found me at the church he BEGGED me to come home with him. I…I am the one who decided to stay with Belle. I wanted to give John time to sort out his feelings even though he had already told me that I was the one that he wanted. Tell me Kate…did John ever come to see you, while I was staying at Belle’s? Hell… did he even call you?” Kate glanced away from and Marlena laughed, “I will take that as a no. You see Kate it is clear to me that John had already made his choice. Actually he made his choice the day he married me back in 1986. You come here into mine and John’s home and tell me that there are some THINGS that I ought to know. You come here and try to convince me… in your not so subtle way… that John doesn’t love me anymore and that I have to let him go. You think in that diluted little brain of your that you have won John’s heart and his love…but I am here to tell you…you aren’t woman enough to take my man!” Kate’s jaw drops in shock at the things Marlena is saying to her, “Excuse me? Who the hell do you think you are Marlena?” Sami laughs despite herself, “It appears to me Kate that she is the one telling you like it is!” Marlena let out a laugh and puts her arm around Sami, “You are absolutely right Samantha…that is exactly what I am doing. You see Kate the simple fact of the matter is that women like you are a dime a dozen… you can buy them ANYWHERE! Tell me Kate…what is your going rate these days?” Sami busted out in a fit of laughter, “Oh mom you must have forgotten…Kate is no longer a hooker. She has been downgraded to a Ho!” Marlena giggles, “Well you know Sami the only difference between a hooker and a ho is the fee.” Kate draws in a deep breath, “I don’t have to stand here and take this from either of you.” Kate turns to leave, but as she does Marlena grabs her arm and spins her back around, “That is where you are wrong Kate. You are going to hear what I have to say whether you like it or not! You think that you are going to swoop in and claim John as your own? Well in order for you to do that I would have to step aside…and I hate to break it to you cupcake…I am not going anywhere! Granted there are times when men are caught looking at things that they don’t need… like you for example. John may have taken a second look at you…but he is in love with me! Now I don’t know where that leaves you…and in all honesty I don’t really care. However I know where I stand…and that is by MY husbands side. Now you have been bragging around town that you have been loving my husband…but you see the man I love when he picks up trash…he puts it in a garbage can! You see that’s what you look like to me…and believe me what I see is a pity! Now I am not saying that John is a saint…because he’s not. And I would be lying if I said that John hasn’t slept with other woman in the past twenty years, obviously he has. However I am going to tell you the same thing that I said to Kristen all those years ago…John can have sex with you because that is ALL that it is sex…because he makes LOVE to me! John and I love each other on a level that is completely foreign to you. Our connection goes beyond the physical aspect…our souls are connected. I know that you can’t grasp that because you don’t have a soul Kate. You are an empty, shallow shell of a person! THAT is why John could NEVER love you…the way he loves me! Because John and I complete each other…we are two halves of a whole. Now…I suggest that you leave…because I am dangerously close to knocking out your two front teeth…which would limit…your choice in boyfriends!” Marlena takes a deep breath and walks away from Kate before she makes good on her threat. Sami steps in front of Kate, “You heard her Kate…GET OUT!” Kate looks over to Marlena who has her back turned to her, “Sami if I were you I would get your mother to a doctor. She sounds like she is loosing it!” Sami took a deep breath, “Excuse me?” Kate laughs rely, “Listen to her Sami! She sounds obsessed with John…it’s not very healthy.” Marlena whips around and lunges for Kate, “YOU BITCH!” Sami turns around to catch her mother in mid lunge. Sami does her best to restrain Marlena. Kate folds her arms in front of her with a look of humor plastered on her face, “See what I mean Sami. All of your mothers troubles have defiantly had a lasting effect on her. She needs help!” Marlena tugs her self out of Sami’s grasp. She takes a few deep breaths and speaks to Kate in a low tone that almost sounds like a growl, “You are right about one thing Kate. I am NOT the same Marlena that was kidnapped a few years ago. I am not the same Marlena that will put her feelings aside to make others happy. I am NOT the same Marlena that lets people walk all over her. This Marlena is sick and TIRED of letting other people tear her life apart. THIS Marlena is going to fight like HELL to keep her family together. I am not going to let anyone…ANYONE take away the man that I love again! Especially…some low rent hooker like you! Oh and one more word of advise for you Kate…if you continue to screw with my children…ANY of my children…I will make sure that you live to regret it! Now get the HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!” After saying that Marlena stormed up the stairs, went into her room and slammed the door. Sami turned back to Kate, “It seems that you have been warned Kate. The Brady/Black family…doesn’t give up on the people they love. So if you fuck with my family…you will regret it.” Kate looked and Sami rolled her eyes then turned on her heels and walked out the door. Sami took a deep breath and plopped down on the sofa. She thought back to the hell that her mother just unleashed on Kate. “This is not good. If that outburst was any indication, the next few months are going to be hell on mom. I hope that John changes his mind and comes home. I don’t think mom can handle this.”
Marlena walked up to Kate and stopped about two feet in front of her, her hands firmly planted on her hips, “Kate…have you become hard of hearing? Get OUT!” Kate looked at Marlena in shock, “Marlena…what has gotten into you?” “Nothing has GOTTEN INTO me Kate. I just don’t find it amusing when people break into my home!” Kate gave a rye laugh, “Oh please Marlena I hardly broke in. I have a key.” Kate held it up in front of Marlena’s face.
