AN: No Franco encounter as of yet, BM will be called Jason at least until the reveal, SB will be called Jace at least until the reveal, and I'm not sure at this point. No media company or cutting Sonny or Carly out of their lives. No BM's Jason whoever he is or isn't he's not going back to the mob either...

Sam couldn't wrap her head around her husband asking who she believed him or the man with his old face. That last few hours still had her head spinning with what she had seen and been told. Now she could see that he was afraid of losing everything to this other man. She knew that her husband seemed off since she awoke in the hospital.
"Will you hear me out?" Sam questioned him.
"Yes," Jason agreed with a nod.
"Part of me doesn't know what to think. That's honest... My heart says you're my husband who I love. When we started out I didn't know if you'd remember, so that meant falling in love with the you that you were. I didn't fall in love with Jason Morgan because at the time you weren't Jason Morgan even then. I wouldn't erase or change a moment we had together. All I know is that I love you," Sam reached out taking his hand in hers.
"What if Helena is behind this? Sonny and Carly believe him," Jason questioned her.
"Do you love me? All of our kids?" Sam questioned him.
"With every breath," Jason agreed as he wrapped his arms around her.
"No matter what this is real: me, you, and all three of our kids. We all love you... Plus I think Emily might prefer you to me sometimes," Sam tried to joke a little.
"What do we do now?" Jason sighed as he worried.
"You both need to be tested. Maybe Heather didn't completely lie about you having a twin... Either way it will prove who he is or isn't. They have tests that can tell identical twins apart if that's the case. No matter what you're my husband, the man that I love, and Emily's biological father at the very least. We will figure this out together side by side. Just don't shut me out," Sam pleaded with him.
"Never, I promise... Our family means everything to me," Jason said as he kissed her gently.
"How about I call Sonny, and we all meet over at GH?" Sam suggested softly.
He knew she was right; that they needed to face this head on.
"Alright," Jason agreed with her.
"This is my forever and always," Sam promised him as he let her go.
"Love you," Jason sighed as she pulled out her phone.
With a deep breath Sam dialed the number she knew by heart, and it didn't take but a few rings before there was a pick up on the line.
"Sonny," Sam spoke into the cell.
"How are you?" Sonny questioned her with worry in his voice.
"Physically, I'm fine as far as my health is concerned. Jason brought me home from the hospital," Sam replied as looked into her husband's eyes.
"Did he tell you?" Sonny started to ask her.
"Yes, I know... It's why I'm calling... I want us all five to meet at GH in an hour," Sam told him.
"Are you sure?" Sonny asked concerned.
"Yeah, we're sure," Sam told him.
"Alright, we'll see you in an hour," Sonny agreed before hanging up.

Sometime between find out she had been pregnant with Emily and now; Sam found herself forming a friendship with Dr. Finn somewhere along the way. Knowing she needed a doctor she trusted to run these test for her Sam called him for help. As Sam stepped off the elevator with her husband; they spotted Sonny, Carly, Finn, and the other man waiting.
"Sam, what's going on?" Sonny asked her point blank.
"I want Dr. Finn to run a DNA test on Jason and the guy saying he's Jason. We want answers," Sam told him.
"Let's do it," Jace spoke up.
"Agreed," Jason nodded in agreement.
"Alright, I'll take mystery man first, and I'll be back for you in a few minutes," Finn pointed to the man he didn't know.
Quietly Sam watched as the man left with Finn before looking back to her husband who looked concerned.
"I don't know what to say," Carly spoke up after a minute.
"This isn't the time... We don't want to hear it," Sam told her forcefully.
"There are things that he knows and well," Sonny trailed off.
"He was hit by a car when he came to town, and Helena had a chip implanted in his head. There are questions that we both have, but I'm not going to forget everything. Of everyone, I would staked my life on you two wanting concrete proof," Sam growled almost.
"Sam," Jason gently took her hand leading her over to a bench just the two of them.
"Sorry, this isn't what you need right now," Sam sighed as they sat down.
Gently brushing the hair away from her face Jason smiled at her.
"I love the fighter in you," Jason whispered almost.
"You're mine forever and always," Sam smiled back at him.
"Do something for me," Jason asked her softly.
"Anything," Sam agreed without thinking.
"Talk to him when I'm with Finn," Jason asked her knowing she needed it.
"Jason," Sam questioned him.
"You dreamed of my old face all those years... With him here, you need to talk to him just in case," Jason replied answering her unspoken question.
"I'm not sure..." Sam shrugged a little.
"Just think about it," Jason replied knowing she needed it.
Silence came over them both as they just waited for Finn to come for Jason next. It was hard for Sam to believe that the man she married might not be her Jason. Her heart ached that he was once again in limbo. As Jake Doe he had struggled with the not knowing who he was before. To have a family and past meant everything to him.
"I love you so much," Sam tried to reassure him.
"I know you do, and I love you too," Jason smiled a little.
"I'll always have your back," Sam promised him softly.
Suddenly Finn appeared with the other man at his side, and pointed to Jason motioning for him to follow him.
"I guess this is me..." Jason sighed as he got up from his seat.
"Always and forever," Sam tried to smile.
"Always and forever," Jason replied before he left with Finn.

Alone Sam stared at her hands not able to look at Sonny and Carly with the other man. This was hurting the man she loved to see them believing this guy with no proof. When he hurt she hurt too. Seeing a pair of shoes come into view Sam looked up to see him standing before her with her Jason's face.
"Can we talk," Jace asked her softly.
Unable to speak Sam just shook her head slightly in the affirmative.
"I know you have a life now, and the last thing I want to do is take that. It's not easy for any of us," He spoke with warmth and consideration.
Reluctant Sam met his gaze to see what looked so familiar to her.
"We all need answers especially for the kids. He needs answers too," Sam admitted with a sigh.
"I saw Jake when I got to town... That was a shock... I knew he was too young to be Cam and too old to be Aiden. Seems like yesterday when... I'm sorry," Jace shook his head as he took a seat.
"Seeing Jake was like a breath of air because I missed Jason so badly even then. Danny and Jake were pieces of the man I loved. Everyday they looked more and more like their father. Danny wants to be just like his big brother. Their the best big brothers a little girl could asked for," Sam slipped up at the end not meaning to mention Emily.
"You have a daughter," Jace questioned with a smile.
"Emily Phoenix Morgan," Sam answered him honestly.
"It's a strong name. Emily would have been over the moon. Phoenix after our," Jason questioned about the middle name.
A lot of people asked if it had to do with their Phoenix figurine.
"Her birth wasn't without it's excitement. We really could of did without it," Sam tried to laugh but couldn't quite get it out.
"It's been a rough year," Jace said as he held his wrist.
"Where were you before," Sam asked him curious.
"Somewhere in Russia... They had me drugged and restrained in a clinic," Jace frowned as he answered her.
"How did you?" Sam trailed off at the end.
"A patient Ava Jerome helped me escape, and a priest help me get on a freighter to New York," Jace filled her in.
"Ava is my Aunt," Sam explained quickly.
"She told me when I got to Port Charles," Jason replied as he looked her way.
"Do you know about the Jerome crime family?" Sam asked him.
"Not much... They were basically out of the picture when Sonny came into power," Jason shook his head.
"Well Julian Jerome is my biological father. He's a user and abuser who made my mom fall in love with him. When he couldn't push her around anymore; then he decided to put a knife to her throat," Sam spelled it out for him.
Just then Sam looked up to see her husband returning with Finn. Without thinking about it Sam went to his side leaving the other man behind.
"Well?" Carly asked Finn.
"I'll have results in the morning," Finn told them all.
"Can you come to the penthouse?" Jason asked him.
"Sure," Finn agreed with him.
"We'll," Carly started to say.
"No, just him..." Jason shook his head.

Part of Sam wanted to bring the children home for the night, but Jason didn't want them involved in this mess until they had answers. Once they were home Jason just wanted to go to bed, so they went strait to bed to get some rest. Sometime in the night Sam felt him leave her side causing her to wake up. Opening her eyes she watched as he went over to the window looking out at the harbor. Slowly sitting up Sam got up going over to her husband.
"Sorry," Jason started to say.
"I wish I could make this easier for you," Sam sighed as he wrapped his arms around her.
"This can't be easy for you either... My old face," Jason mused aloud to her.
"No matter what is said tomorrow; I know that I love you forever and always," Sam promised him.
For a while they just stood there holding on to each other not saying a word. Both knew that tomorrow could change everything in their lives.
"What if he's the real Jason Morgan," Jason asked her softly.
"If he is then... I would have to say that I'd always love him, but I'm in love with the man right here holding me. This right here is forever and always," Sam told him as she looked into his eyes.
"If I lost you... Until you came into my life I felt like I was walking through this fog," Jason sighed as he couldn't imagine that he was living someone else's life.
"I know what you mean... Falling in love with you woke me up. I tried to move on like I was suppose to for Danny and me. Yet it never worked until you and me happened. It was like I could breathe again," Sam mused aloud as she laid her head on his chest.
"When I was Jake Doe I walked around wanting what I have now. A family and place to belong to..." Jason whispered almost.
"You belong here no matter what happens tomorrow. Danny, Jake, Emily and me will always be your family," Sam tried to reassure him.
Silent again they just stood there being with each other, and not needing to really say any more in the moment. It was nice to just be for Sam in the middle of all of the chaos. However there was one thing Sam knew would help them both.
"Let's get out of here... Ride until the sun comes up... The kids aren't here," Sam suggested as she turned to face Jason.
"Sounds like a plan to me," Jason agreed ready to go.
"If we end up at that barn; I wouldn't complain," Sam smirked as she reached up on her tippy toes for a kiss.
"I think that can be arranged," Jason smiled as he kissed her.
"For tonight, tomorrow doesn't exist, and it's just you and me until then," Sam said as she wanted some refuge from whatever was coming their way.
