After two weeks of throwing up Jason insisted that Sam get checked out at GH by her OB Dr. Lee. She knew that Jason was just worried about her, but the full battery of test seemed a little much and almost overboard. Finally sitting in Dr. Lee's office waiting to hear her results; she could tell that her doctor looked oddly surprised while trying to hide it from Sam and Jason.
"What's going on?" Sam asked point blank; tired of waiting around.
"Well, it looks like you're pregnant," Dr. Lee answered her softly.
"That's a joke right? I just had Lila six months ago," Sam rolled her eyes thinking Dr. Lee was kidding around.
"Pregnant?" Jason questioned it too.
"From the looks of it about two to three months from what your hormone levels are telling me," Dr. Lee confirmed for them.
"How," Sam wanted to know.
"Well for a while after you give birth; you become a little more fertile than normal. The doctor on call while I was away didn't think when he cleared you... He thought there would be time before you were ready, so although you should have been warned you weren't," Dr. Lee explained gently as she could.
Sam locked eyes with Jason as they both remembered that night clearly.
"It was our first time," Sam blushed as she felt like she was a teenager.
"I hate to tell you kids; that it can happen the first, fifth, eleventh or any time," Dr. Lee tried to lighten the mood a little.
"Lila was born early and stillborn," Sam frowned as she thought about things.
"Is this safe for Sam and the baby," Jason asked worried for his family.
"This isn't ideal by any means, but we'll keep a close eye on Sam. This is just a precaution to keep Sam and the baby safe. If you want this... Would you like to talk alone," Dr. Lee offered to leave.
"No, we want this," Sam answered as she felt Jason take her hand in his.
"We want our child," Jason agreed with Sam.
"Okay, then we are going to be a team on this, and together we will take this one step at a time as we go. First you need someone who can be around because until we get our feet firmly planted. I don't want you alone for long stretches," Dr. Lee stated as she looked from Jason to Sam.
"What about breastfeeding?" Sam asked because she loved the one on one with Lila.
"There will be no problem continuing that," Dr. Lee promised Sam.
"I'm trusting you with my life," Jason whispered almost as he looked to Dr. Lee.
"This time I'm staying put for all nine months, so at the end we are going to have a happy healthy baby if I have my say," Dr. Lee tried to reassure Jason and Sam both.
"Thank you," Sam smiled feeling hopeful for the first time since hearing she was pregnant again.
"Let me write you a prescription for your vitamins. Lots of rest and taking it easy for you," Dr. Lee said as she wrote out the prescription for Sam.

The whole ride home Sam was in shock that this was happening... In nine months Sam and Jason would have two kids under two in their home. She was excited to know that this time she was carrying Jason's child inside of her. Although Sam thought they would have had a few years between Lila and their next baby. As Jason pulled into a parking space in the garage; Sam looked over at Jason who she couldn't read at all.
"Tell me something," Sam pleaded with him.
"We need a bigger place, and a yard for the kids to play in. I figured that we could wait until Lila was four or five, but with the new baby on the way we need a bigger place," Jason said looking to Sam as he killed the engine.
"You've been thinking about this," Sam smiled as she was a little surprised.
"How about we start looking tomorrow," Jason asked wanting to be in the new place before the baby was born.
"Emily has been begging to take Lila out, so I guess I could see if she'd take her for us," Sam agreed as she leaned against Jason.
"Carly will take her any day of the week," Jason chuckled slightly.
"Tomorrow is covered then, and we need to go up to see our little girl," Sam replied as they got out the car.
Then they headed to the elevators; Jason wrapped his arms around Sam as he was excited.
"Do you want a boy or girl this time?" Jason asked as they got on the elevator.
"I don't care as long as he or she is happy and healthy," Sam mused as she pushed for the top floor.
"I might be partial to little girls who look like their mom," Jason whispered as he went in for a kiss.
"Or maybe you like being the only boy in the house," Sam laughed a little.
"Michael is over almost every day," Jason countered Sam softly.
"He does love his sister a lot," Sam replied happy that Michael was involved with Lila.
"Everything is working out for our whole family. Lila has really brought us together even the Quartermaines too," Jason said as he thought of how one little girl changed so much.
"Edward is absolutely taken with her. I'm sure the goodies being delivered are from him," Sam replied softly as she looked up at Jason.
Watching Sam saw Jason get a look in his eyes that she knew too well; then she wondered what he had in mind in that moment for the two of them.
"Carly has things covered," Jason mused as he reached out hitting the button that stopped the elevator.
"Here," Sam asked a little excited.
"We deserve to celebrate some; just the two of us before the rest of our world knows," Jason suggested as he gently started to kiss her collarbone not hid by her tank top.
"I think I like this ideal," Sam stammered breathless as her temperature started to rise.
"Good, I love you so much," Jason smirked as he moved up to her mouth.
"Jason," Sam started to say before Jason cut her off with another kiss.

Sam tried to make herself presentable as she stepped off the elevator with Jason next to her. If there was a way for Carly to know what they did; she would know if there was a hint of difference when they entered the penthouse. Even with the worries Sam was so excited to bring a child into this world without the baby daddy drama. Snuggling into Jason's embrace Sam walked into the penthouse; just as Carly was putting Lila down into her bassinet.
"You guys had sex," Carly whispered almost as she came over to Sam.
"How?" Sam questioned her because she thought she had covered.
"Jason's face says it all. He has that look of; I've just had sex," Carly chuckled as she could see both of her friends were happy.
"What," Jason said in disbelief.
"Tell me what happened?" Carly as she took Sam by the hand.
"Well I'm healthy, but I have to have a checkup," Sam replied not sure about telling Carly yet.
"Come on, you better tell me now before I get crazy ideals," Carly warned Sam as she eyed her.
"I'm pregnant," Sam gave in to Carly.
"She said... That's crazy... She isn't? Is she?" Carly rambled as she looked back and forth between Sam and Jason both.
"We should have been more careful our first time," Jason admitted as he confirmed things for Carly.
"There's a little Jason or Sam in there," Carly squealed as she placed her hands on Sam still flat stomach.
"I'm about three months along," Sam smiled as she pulled out her vitamins.
"Isn't it too soon," Carly questioned them both.
"It's not ideal, but possible all the same," Sam bubbled with excitement.
"Hey baby, this is your Aunt Carly! I'm your favorite," Carly squealed as she talked to Sam's stomach.
"Let's back up a little," Jason chuckled as he moved Carly back a little to give Sam some breathing room.
"Sorry! I'm just so excited!" Carly gushed unable to help herself.
"It's okay. Please don't tell anyone... I want to wait just a little bit," Sam requested as she looked to her friend.
"Not a soul, you have my word. I love you guys to much," Carly said as she pulled Sam and Jason into a hug.
"Thanks, Carly," Jason said as Carly let him and Sam go.
"You guys need a bigger place because this isn't as big as my place with Sonny. Plus I know Jason wants a house and a yard sort of thing," Carly mused as she knew Jason better than anyone.
"We're going to start looking tomorrow," Jason informed Carly.
"Do I get Angel Baby," Carly asked hopeful.
"Emily might be taking her for us; she's been wanting some time with her," Sam whispered almost knowing Carly wouldn't be thrilled.
"Sharing sucks," Carly pouted a little bit.
"They have to share with you," Jason chuckled at Carly.
"I'm her favorite aunt and her only godmother. That right there makes me extra special, so I should get her whenever I want," Carly reasoned in her own logic.

Once Lila was down for the night Sam headed back to her bedroom picking up a pillow. Even though it hadn't been long since Lila was born; Sam stuck the pillow up her shirt for a visual. Going over to the mirror Sam looked at herself thinking how different this time would be. This time she was married to the father of her baby. They were going to have a future as a family.
"What are you doing?" Jason asked causing Sam to pull the pillow out.
"Just thinking about being pregnant again. How this time I'm in love with the biological father of my baby who loves me too?" Sam chucked the pillow back on the bed.
"Come lay down with me," Jason came over offering Sam his hand.
"I'm tired," Sam admitted as she took his hand letting him lead her over to the bed.
Sam laid down on the bed as Jason got in next to her. Gently Jason pulled up Sam's tank exposing her stomach.
"Your mom is pretty great... We're so excited about you, and Lila will be excited once she understands," Jason talked to Sam's stomach.
"How I got so lucky I'll never know," Sam mused as Jason looked up at her.
"I'm the lucky one. You gave me a family of my own. Before you and Lila, I never understood the value of my own life. Our family is my home... Home isn't a place, but it's people you love. You, Lila, and this baby is my home," Jason smiled as he looked up at Sam.
"That was beautiful," Sam teared up unable to help herself.
"Here," Jason grabbed an handkerchief out of the bedside table.
"Thank you," Sam wiping her eyes before blowing her nose.
"What?" Jason asked as Sam got a weird look on her face.
"I want watermelon and dark chocolate," Sam frowned as she didn't know if they could get watermelon.
"I'll get you and the baby what you want. Wait right here, I'm not leaving you here alone; just going to get some help with this," Jason said as he got out of bed.
"Thank you," Sam said as Jason left their bedroom.
Jason rushed downstairs heading across the hall, and knocked on Sonny's door knowing his friend could help.
"Jason, what's up?" Sonny asked eyeing his friend.
"I need to get Sam watermelon and dark chocolate. Sam's pregnant again," Jason admitted to his friend.
"No wonder Carly has been acting weirder than normal. Congratulations, man! Although a little surprised," Sonny said happy for Jason and Sam both.
"We were shocked! Watermelon is out of season here," Jason replied as he wanted to get Sam and the baby what they wanted.
"Don't worry, I'll handle everything for you. Go back up to your wife, and I'll call you when I got it," Sonny promised as he watched how different it was because this was Jason's first child that he was bringing into the world.
Although Sonny knew Jason loved Lila more than anything; he understood that the first biological child was something special. Plus Sonny knew that it also had to do with the fact that Jason and Sam were now married.
