Hi everyone! I just want to say that I am soooo happy Steve Burton is back. I love Billy Miller, but Steve Burton is the only Jason for me. I love OG Jasam and I tried really hard to accept new Jasam, but I just didn't have the same passion for them. Just seeing Steve back on screen for the past few weeks has allowed me to hope that Sam will be reunited with the real Jason, and they can be a family once again. I hate that Jason has missed so much of Danny's life, so for this story Jason was only missing for a year before he resurfaced. Danny is 2, not 4 like on the show when "Jason" returns. This story is going to be about the real Jason, but it is also going to be about Sam's journey to her hearts true desire. I miss the badass Sam and I really haven't been enjoying the way she is being written on the show. The endgame is always OG Jasam for me! Happy reading!
Sam stared out at the harbor, inhaling slowly as the wonderful smell of the sea washed over her. This was where she had spent hours searching the water for her husband. This was where he had been so cruelly taken from her, only hours after the two had been reunited with their son. "Danny." The thought of her beautiful, happy 2 year old baby boy always brought a smile to her face. Sam could not believe how much he had grown since that fateful night. Danny looked so much like his father, and he had been the only reason Sam had kept going once Jason had disappeared into the harbor that night. Watching the ships sail around in the water had always brought Sam a sense of peace, and she always sought out the comfort of the water when she felt like she had nowhere else to turn.
"I'm being ridiculous," Sam thought to herself. "Jason came home. He has a different face but Jason is back. He remembers almost all of our life together and I should be grateful that he chose to be with me."
The fact that Sam had to convince herself that Jason was really back was a bit troubling to her. While she saw traits of her Jason in this Jason, she could also see that he wasn't the same person that she was once married to. Danny was ecstatic to have his dad and Sam and Jason had agreed to take things slow. Sam just wished that this Jason had a bit more of her old Jason inside him.
"Get a grip Sam, why are you making this so complicated? Jason was having memories of you! He decided he wants to be with you! Why are you standing here second guessing the last four months you have spent with him?"
Frustrated with herself, Sam shook her head to clear it one last time before heading home to the penthouse. As she ventured back towards the docks, Elizabeth Webber caught her eye. The two women were never friends, but Sam had thought they finally were at a good place after Jake came home. They got along for the boys' sake and Sam had even encouraged her relationship with Jake Doe. Ha! What a joke that turned out to be! Scoffing at herself Sam continued walking, doing her best to avoid Elizabeth. She really was not up for a confrontation with her tonight, and she didn't feel like hearing her incessant nagging about Sam destroying "their time" and breaking up "their family."
"Hi Sam, trouble in paradise already? Where's Jason? Didn't take him very long this time to realize he's better off without you huh?" Elizabeth's sugary voice floated through the air as Sam slowly turned around to face her.
"Elizabeth, don't you have anything better to do than keep tabs on mine and Jason's life? You lied to him. You kept him in the dark about his past, his family, and we both know Jason doesn't like having decisions made for him. The sooner you get over the fact that YOU ruined any shot you had with Jason, the better off we will all be."
Elizabeth glared at Sam and said menacingly, "You'll get what's coming to you Sam! Don't think Jason will fall for your lies again! He's only with you because of Danny. If your child wasn't in the way Jason wouldn't even be giving you a second thought."
Sam really was trying to maintain a civil conversation with the woman, but at the mention of her child Sam saw red. "Don't you EVER talk about my child again! Were you just threatening Danny? I swear Elizabeth, if you so much as look in my son's direction you will be running out of Port Charles with your tail between your legs. If you so much as say his name again, I will make you sorry. Got it?"
Sam was inches from Elizabeth's face and Elizabeth saw the sincerity in Sam's eyes. With one last final glare at Sam, Elizabeth turned away and said, "Don't say I didn't warn you!"
Sam couldn't shake the feeling that Elizabeth's empty words were just that, but before she had time to ponder them anymore Jason came around the corner.
"Hey beautiful! What are you doing out here so late at night? I thought you were home with Danny." Sam smiled up at Jason and wrapped her arms around him.
"Danny is at your mother's. I always loved the water and I felt like taking a walk before I had to go get him." Jason frowned when he realized that Sam's smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Sam, what's wrong?" "Nothing Jason. I don't want you to be in the middle of it; Elizabeth is Jake's mother and I know you need to maintain a relationship with her for his sake."
"Sam, she means nothing to me. Please tell me what's wrong."
Sam told Jason what had just transpired with Elizabeth and her seemingly empty threats towards Danny.
"She's just trying to get under your skin Sam. She knows the best way to get to you is through Danny. Come on honey, let's head home. I promise you she's not going to hurt our son."
Sam wanted to believe Jason, but she just couldn't. She was honestly surprised that he was brushing off a danger to their son so nonchalantly. Sam decided she would look more into Elizabeth at her office tomorrow, but she didn't want to say anything more to Jason until she found proof that Elizabeth had plans to make good on her threat.
"You're right, lets go get our son Jason."
The two walked hand in hand off the docks, but not before Sam took once last fleeting glance over her shoulder. She thought she saw a pair of eyes watching her from the corner of the building, but as she strained to see more closely the eyes disappeared. Sam shook the doubt from her mind and focused on the wonderful night ahead of her that she had planned with Jason and Danny.
