Kyle was the first of the group to spot her. "Sam!" He cried out waving in her direction.

Howie watched as a tall, striking brunette set a small boy down on his feet. She got down to his level and pointed toward Samantha and Howie, whispering to him. The little boy's face lit up when he saw Samantha. He broke free of the girl's grasp and ran toward Samantha.

"Steven!" Samantha called out scooping the child into her arms. She kissed his cheek. The little boy wrapped his arms around her neck and planted a wet kiss on her cheek.

"He screamed until we finally gave in and let him come with us." The girl said catching up with the little boy. "He kept saying ' See a Sama. See a Sama' and stomping his feet. He knows how to get his way!" She laughed.

"Hi Sam." Adam joined the growing group. "How was your flight?" He asked hugging her while taking her bag.

"It was great Adam. How are you doing?" She glanced to her side and shifted Steven to her hip. She took Howie's hand in hers. "Guys, I'd like you to meet Howie. Howie this is Adam, Kait, Jenna, Kyle and Steven."

Howie took in the group as he shook their hands. 'I can see Samantha comes by her looks naturally. These kids look like they stepped right off the pages of a magazine or something.' he thought laughing to himself. He did a double take when he first took a good look at Adam. 'Wow! Sam was right when she said he looks just like Nick! She wasn't exaggerating at all.' "It is nice to meet all of you." Howie said.

"It is nice to meet you too Howie." Kait echoed. "Sam has told me so much about you, I feel like I already know you." She turned to Sam "Do you have any other luggage we need to wait for?"

Samantha shook her head as they headed out of the airport. "Can we please stop by the hotel before we go to the house though? I want to change clothes."

"No problem Sam." Adam answered unlocking the doors of his Grandmother's Suburban. "Uncle Christopher rented you a car. It is parked at the hotel, so we will need to stop there anyway."

Samantha turned to Howie. "Did I tell you Christopher thinks ahead? I think he has ESP or something!"

"When it comes to you Sam, he definitely does!" Kyle spoke climbing into the car.

"Are all of you staying at my parents' house?"

Kait shook her head. "We're totally spread out this time. The 4 of us have a room at your hotel. Dad thought we might want to hang out with you and Howie so he booked us a room when he found out where you were staying."

"Cool." Samantha replied smiling. She slid into the car next to Kait, who quietly said something to her in French that Howie couldn't understand. His curiosity was piqued when Samantha blushed and then answered Kait in French as well, which he also didn't understand.

Adam picked up the accommodations where Kait had left off. "All of the parents have rooms at a hotel that caters more to the little kids. Justin, Steven, Bradley, Bryant and Kara are with them. The older girls, Natalie, Nichole, Natasha, Aimee, Ashleigh, Malia and Tiffany are having a huge slumber party at Aunt Cindy's parent's house." He laughed "We are hoping they will still be sane after a weekend of pre-teen girls!"

"Grandma Jacobs will be right in there with them putting on make-up, fixing her hair and talking about boys!" Kait chuckled.

"They'll have a great time with Cindy's parents!" Sam commented.

"Nick, Micah and Marc are the only 3 members of the Danner clan staying at your parent's house." Adam finished the accommodations list.

Samantha nodded. "3 boys are enough for Mom & Dad to handle at one time. They aren't used to a house full of kids!" She glanced around the car, her nerves relaxing slightly in the presence of her nieces & nephews. "We are definitely spread out all over the city this time aren't we?" she added still a bit nervous.

Adam laughed as he turned into the parking lot of the hotel. He glanced in the rearview mirror and caught Samantha's eye. "I am sure the boys would love it if you and Howie stayed at your parents' house. Shall I take you there instead?" He teased.

"Umm…this hotel will be just fine Adam!" Samantha smiled at Howie who had turned from the front seat to look at her. Howie grinned at her and winked, prompting her to bite her lip to suppress a fit of giggles.

Adam parked the vehicle near the entrance to the hotel. He unlocked the back so Howie and Samantha could get their luggage. He handed Samantha a set of keys. "Your car is the green Explorer." He said pointing down the row a few cars.

"Great Adam! Thanks for the ride." Sam replied kissing his cheek. "Are you guys coming up or heading back to my parents' house?"

"I think we had better get Steven home." Kait answered. "It is about nap time for him."

"OK. We will freshen up and meet you guys there."

"We'll be waiting!" Adam said raising his eyebrows at her.
