Jason sat in the hospital chapel holding the rosary in his hands. His head was down looking at his boots. They had grass and snow on them still. And blood. His wife's blood. He closed his eyes as the though sent pain all through his body. Seeing Sam laying at the bottom of the bridge scared Jason more than ever. He knew something had been wrong but seeing it was a whole nother thing. He could still see it…

***Flashback***

Jason threw the door open and ran onto the bridge "Sam!" he yelled, hoping she was conscious to hear him. He looked over the left side of the bridge and saw nothing. "Sam!" he yelled again.

"Jason!" he heard faintly from the other side. He rushed over and saw her sitting up holding her stomach. Jason's heart leaped in his chest at the sight of her but her blood curdling scream made his realize something was wrong. He leaped over the side and slid down the steel plank. "Sam, baby…"

"Jason, the baby is coming." She sobbed.

"What?" he asked shocked.

"My water broke a while ago and my contractions are getting closer together. The baby is coming now." She said through her tears.

Jason didn't have time to be in shock. He quickly took off his jacket and slipped it around her for more warmth. "Do you know how far apart they are?" he asked her.

"Less than 3 minutes." She answered. Jason knew that meant he was close to crowning. "Ok, I am go to the car a get the blankets from the back. I left my phone in there too so I am going to call 911…"

"Please don't leave me." She said grasping for him.

"Hey, hey" he said takin her face between his hands, making her focus on him "I'm not leaving you. But the baby is coming and we aren't going to make it to the hospital." The scared look on her face almost broke him "Everything is going to be ok. Everything is going to be fine. I promise." He leaned over and kissed her head. "I'll be back in less than a minute, ok?" he kissed her head one more time and then took off.

Sam tried to calm herself down more. The second she heard Jason voice, her nerves settled as a sense of calm washed over her. He had found them and just in time. She cried out when another contraction hit and suddenly Jason was there again. He took hold of her hand and said "I'm right here."

Sam squeezed his hand and tried to breathe through the pain. The contraction stopped and Sam's breath went back to normal "They're getting closer" she said.

"Ok, I called 911 and they are on their way." He stood up and unfolded one of the blankest and positioned it under her legs "We are going to need to take these off. You think you can lift up just a little?" he asked her of her pants. Sam nodded her head as he took her boots off and helped her lift her hips to get her jeans off.

"Ok," he said when her took them off and took the other blanket and placed it over legs to keep her warm. He took the pillow that he had left in the SUV from their cancelled child birth class and moved her forward to settle it between her and the steel she was leaned up against. "Thank you." she said.

Jason ran his hand over the top of her head and sook his "Don't. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be sitting at the bottom of a bridge in labor 6 week early. I never should have looked into this."

Sam sat up a little straighter and said "This is not on you. Olivia is the one that threw me off this bridge. It had nothing to do with you and everything to do with the fact that she is a bitch who is bitter about the fact that the man she is obsessed with never gave a damn about her. And that no-good son of a bitch father of mine is no better. He knew what she was capable of and he said nothing. This and everything involved is their fault not yours, understand?" she said as she felt the beginning of another contraction start. Jason smiled crookedly and said "Are you always this way when you are in labor?" "No, only when crazy bitches throw me off a bridge. Ah!" she cried out as the painful current took her over. "Jason, I need to push…" she said breathlessly.

Jason went back down to her feet and lifted the blanket "Ok, yeah, the baby is crowning." He said with a small smile. "Push, Sam" he told her.

"Ah!" she cried out again as she pushed with all her strength.

"Good, good the head is almost out. Next contraction you need to push even harder baby." He coached her. Sam nodded her head and took a deep breath. "Come on, Sam. You're doing great." He soothed her. Jason reached over and grabbed for the baby blanket that his mom had given him yesterday. Since he hadn't gone home it was still in his car. "One more big push and the hard part will be over. Push!"

Sam somehow found the strength and pushed as hard as she could, screaming in pain. "Good job, baby!" Jason smiled as tears welled in his eyes and the sight of his child coming into the world "The head is out. Keep pushing baby." He said. He faintly heard sirens in the distance. They were getting louder. He focused back on Sam and their child as the shoulders followed by hands legs and feet came into view "She's here." He whispered.

"She is?" Sam asked on a sob.

He looked up at his wife and with tears streaming down his cheeks said "Yeah, she is." He looked back down at the squirming baby and said "She's perfect."

Before the parents could say more, the EMT's came into view. One gently took the baby and cleaned her up, getting all the gunk out of her lungs and off her body. Jason couldn't take his eyes off the little bundle. She was small but she looked ok. and he had a beautiful set of lungs on her. Jason had never been so happy to hear a baby cry before. "Ma'am?" he heard one of the EMT's say. His head turned to Sam and he saw her eyes drooping "She…ok…" passed her lips before her eyes closed and she went limp.

"Sam?" Jason called her name as the EMT's worked and got her on the gurney. "What's wrong with her?" Jason asked frantic.

"Sir, you need to step back…" "What's happening…?" he stopped mid-sentence as he saw the dark read puddle beneath his wife.

"We need to get them both to the hospital…" he absently heard one of them say. Jason just shook his head as he looked between his crying daughter and unconscious wife "This can't be happening…"

***End Flashback***

They had rushed Sam and the baby to the hospital. The baby was taken to the maternity floor and Sam was rushed into a cubical. Dr. Munro came out after 5 minutes and told him they need to operate on Sam to try and stop the bleeding. She was hemorrhaging bad and losing a lot of blood. His mother had rushed over as soon as she saw her son and after finding out what happened, went to scrub in to help. They had worked on Sam for over 5 hours but they finally got the bleeding under control. But Sam had lost a lot of blood and her body had been put through a lot in the past 24 hours. Dr. Munro said that she would be monitored closely but the next few hours were crucial. Monica had called Alexis and the girls. Alexis was with Sam and the girls and Lucas had not left the baby's side.

Jason clasped his hand tighter around the rosary lifted his head to the big cross that sat in front of him on the wall. He felt the anger he had been trying to keep at bay start to boil hotter. He narrowed his eyes at the sight before him and shook his head "You don't get to do this." He said in a hard voice "You do not get to take her away from me. You have don't that enough times already." He looked down at the beads in his hands and got angrier. "You must get bored an awful lot up there to mess with people's lives like this. Haven't you done enough to us? Haven't you done enough to her? All her life you let her go through hell for your own sick enjoyment. But you brought her to me so I overlooked that. I let that go. You didn't have to tear us apart but you did it anyway. You kept me from my life and you allowed others to help you out." Tears welled in his eyes "But you brought us back together so I forgave you again. But you keep doing this." He seethed. "You keep trying to take her away from me. You have proven that I took her for granted in the past. You have proven that I need to make sure that she and our family is first in my life. So why did you do this? She has done nothing but be the best wife and mother. And now you want to take her from us? You can't!" he shouted, dropping the rosary from his hands before laying his head in them "You can't." he said as he let his tears fall.

Carly and Sonny got off the elevator followed by Michael and Joss. Kristina had called them and told them what was going on. They headed towards the nurse's desk but stopped when they saw Monica. Carly practically ran over to her "Monica," she said getting the older woman's attention "How are they?" she asked, worried.

"Sam is still in ICU. The baby is fine and perfectly healthy. She is now in the nursery with Sam's sister's and brother." Monica said with a slight smile.

"She?" Carly whispered.

"It's a girl." Monica nodded.

Carly placed her hand over her mouth as tears of joy welled in her eyes. "What about Jason?" Sonny asked.

Monica's smile fell at the mention of her son "He's in the chapel. He hasn't been to see Sam or the baby. He's not handling this well."

"But Sam is ok, right?" Carly asked.

The unsure look on the doctor's face did not sit well with them. "Sam hemorrhaged badly after the baby was out. It took us a while to get the bleeding to stop. She lost a lot of blood. For now, she is stable but we are keeping a close watch on her. Sam is strong. I have every reason to believe that she is going to be just fine." She assured them.

Carly nodded her head "Can I see Sam?" she asked.

Monica was a little taken aback by the request. She had figured that Carly would head straight for Jason. "Yes, you can. Alexis has not left her side but two people are allowed back at a time. I'll take you."

"I'm going to go check on Jason." Sonny told his wife.

"Can we go down to the nursery?" Michael asked his grandmother.

She nodded and said "Of course." They all went their separate ways as Monica led Carly to Sam. She walked through the curtain and saw Alexis sitting beside Sam, holding her hand. She had tears in her eyes when she looked over and saw Carly and Monica. Carly walked over to the other side of Sam and stared down at her.

She was very pale. She had a breathing tube in and was completely still. It was really hard to look at her like that. Sam was always so strong and capable. The tears in Carly's eyes started to fall. He looked back over to Alexis and saw she hadn't taken her eyes off her daughter. She had a mix of agony and rage on her face. Carly didn't know how this happened but she knew that whoever was responsible for Sam ending up at the bottom of that bridge was going to pay for it. Dearly.

Sonny walked up to the chapel doors and looked inside. Jason sat in the front pew and had his head in his hands. Sonny closed his eyes as a wave of guilt washed over him. Sonny never should have let Jason look into Morgan's death. Jason told him he wanted out of the business but like always, when he sensed Carly and Sonny needed him, he was there. And now his wife was lying in a hospital bed because of it. He walked into the room and went to his friends' side. He put a hand on his shoulder as Jason lifted his head. The broken look in his brother's eyes told him everything he needed to know.

Sonny sat down next to him and they both just sat there. Sonny knew that Jason would talk when he was ready. He didn't push him and he didn't ask questions. Jason kept his head down as his cracked voice started "I followed the lead about Olivia. Me and Curtis went to the Jerome crypt and broke in. Sam had texted me that she had dropped Danny off at the Quartermaine's and she was going to spent the night at her mom's" he stopped for a second and took a breath. "After we were done, Curtis and I went to the Metro Court where I ran into Alexis. I asked about Sam and she said she had no idea what I was talking about. It took a minute but I knew something had happened. I told Alexis what we were doing and showed her the picture of Olivia. She recognized her. Olivia had been posing as her AA sponsor. We found Sam's phone in Alexis's purse and we figured out Olivia had sent me that text. Then I found a picture Sam had taken from the inside of Olivia's car. I could tell she was on the bridge. When I got there, I found her at the bottom of it. Olivia threw her over the bridge and she had been there all night long."

Sonny closed his eyes as anger went through him. The image of Sam lying helpless on the ground ran through his mind. "She was in labor. She had the baby with in ten minutes after I found her. The paramedics came and took the baby to clean her. Before I knew it, Sam was passed out and I…I couldn't…" he said brokenly.

Sonny laid a hand on his shoulder and said "There was nothing you could do. You had no idea what was going on, Jason. What happened to Sam isn't on anyone but Olivia and Julian. They are the ones who did this. And they are going to pay for it. But right now, your wife and your daughter need you, Jason. Sam is not going to make it through this without you. So right now, you need to go to her and make sure she knows that she needs to wake up. And that she doesn't have a choice." Sonny told him.

Jason nodded his head and stood up. Sonny followed suit and put his arms around Jason. They two men hugged as Sonny whispered "She's going to be fine."

"She has to be." Jason responded. The two men separated and Sonny watched his friend leave the room. He closed his eyes and hung his head at the battle he knew Jason and Sam had ahead. But he was going to do everything he could to make it as easy as possible. Starting with Olivia and Julian Jerome. He was going to make sure that this bitch that who thought she was invincible and untouchable knew just how wrong she was. And then he was going to give Julian everything he deserved and more.

Jason walked through the curtains that his wife was behind. He saw both Carly and Alexis sitting by her side. He was glad that she hadn't been alone but right now he just wanted it to be them. When Carly saw him she got up and walked over and gave him a hug. Jason hugged her back. His eyes landed on Sam over her shoulder as he pulled away and went to his wife. He leaned down and kissed the head.

Alexis looked at her son-in-law and saw how broken he was. Alexis had never been his biggest fan but she knew first-hand how much Jason loved her daughter. He would do anything for her. Alexis cleared her throat and said "I haven't gotten a chance to see the baby. I think I'll head down to see her." She said as she stood up.

"I'll go with you." Carly announced as the two women prepared to leave. Carly came over and kissed Jason's head and asked "Do you need anything?" he shook his head silently, not taking his eyes from Sam.

Alexis leaned down and kissed her daughter o the head before turning to Jason "Let me know if anything changes." She said softly to him.

"I will." He answered back. Alexis and Carly left the room, leaving Jason and Sam alone.

Jason reached for her still hand and held it between his. The sight of her hurt so bad but he was trying to focus on the fact that she was still breathing. He reached up, careful of the breathing tube, and softly caressed her cheek "Your sister's and brother and with our daughter. Your mom and Carly just went down there too so I promise you she's not alone. I…I know I should be down there with her but can't. We need to do that together so you need to wake up soon, ok? She needs you, Sam. The boys need you. I need you." he pleaded. "We have been through so much but we finally got it right. We finally have everything that we ever wanted. You can't leave us now. So please, please, open your eyes." he begged her with tears coming down. But he got no response. She laid there, unmoving, breaking Jason's heart that much more.

Hope you enjoyed it! I an going to work on the next part later this week. :) :) :)
