Do not own General Hospital or any of the characters.
A sequel of sorts to Danny's Birthday. Now that Jason has come back to Sam and Danny, how will they all adjust as a family?
This is just me purely daydreaming on what should be happening on the show at the moment. And at that, I have decided to change it up a little. Maxie is not pregnant with Spinelli's child (Even though I love Spixie!) but in fact with Dante and Lulu's. I know some people have suggested how they would like to see Jason reaction to the "New" Franco and such. I personally do not like the new Franco, Franco to me will always be James Franco. So there will be known of that. Franco is dead in this fic. And another thing, Danny will not have cancer in this. :)
Enjoy!
Adjustments
Morning After...
Sam's couldn't help but smile as she rolled onto her side and felt the warm body beside her. She had been afraid that she had dreamt all of it for a second but it was really true. Jason had come back to her. He was here now to stay. Reaching out, she pressed herself up against his back. Her arms wrapping around his muscular chest as her leg wrapped around his hip. Her cheek was pressed into the middle of his back.
She planted a kiss on his skin before closing her eyes and falling back to sleep. It felt so good to feel the warmth of his skin against her own.
They slept for an hour or more before the cries of Danny echoed through out the room from the baby monitor on the end table.
Sam's body was alert as her eyes fluttered open and sat up in bed. She looked towards the monitor before looking down at Jason, who was just waking up. "Hi," he murmured as he glanced up at her. His eyes were half closed with sleep. He wasn't use to being woken by the screaming cries of a baby.
"Hi," she whispered back, the corners of her mouth turning up into a smile.
A lazy smile appeared onto his face as he closed his eyes for a second before forcing them open again.
Leaning down, Sam brushed her lips softly against his before pulling away. "Go back to sleep," she whispered as she caressed the side of his face before climbing out of bed.
Jason watched her as she wrapped a silk robe around her body and exited the bedroom. He listened as her voice came on the monitor. "Good Morning Handsome", she cooed over the speaker. He continued to listen for a moment longer before throwing an arm over his eyes and falling back into slumber.
Sam wasn't sure where to go. Usually after Danny woke up, she would bring him downstairs and get him breakfast. But now with Jason here, apart of her wanted to go back into the bedroom and have some more smuggle time, as a family of course. Deciding this is what she would do, she pushed opened the bedroom door. Her eyes gazing onto the sleeping form of Jason for a second. He was lying on his back with an arm over his eyes. She couldn't help but smile at the sight of him.
She stood there in the threshold of the room, debating whether she should awake him or leave and let him sleep for a bit.
However, before she could make up her mind, it was made up for her as Danny let out a loud gleefully squeal. Jason stirred at this as he lifted his head and looked over towards where they stood. A smile appeared immediately on his face.
"Sorry," apologized Sam as she locked eyes with him, "Danny, just wanted to say Good Morning to his Daddy!" She then began to head back towards the bed.
"Well, Good Morning to you too, Danny," whispered Jason as he sat up in bed and looked over to the little boy. Reaching out, he took his son's chubby little hand and shook it. The tot's attention immediately focused on Jason at this. His blue eyes staring intensely at his father.
Sam looked from Jason to Danny at this little exchange between father and son. It brought a smile of pure joy to her face to see the two of them interacting like this.
Danny then began to kick his little legs and lean towards Jason. He wanted down. Sam kissed the side of Danny's face before placing him down in the middle of the bed. She then climbed in to the bed, beside him.
Jason's eyes focused on Sam as he leaned over and cupped the side of her face. Her eyes locked immediately with his at this gesture.
"Good Morning ," he whispered to her as he captured her lips into a kiss.
"Good Morning," she whispered back as the kiss was broken. She lifted a hand upwards and placed it over where his lay on her cheek. The pads of her fingers gently caressed the knuckles of his hand before lowering it. A look then passed between the couple before being interrupted by the loud shrieks of the one year old between them. Danny wanted attention.
There was a serious look on the little boy's face as he looked at both of his parents.
Sam and Jason turned their attention away from one another and down at their son.
"What's up buddy?" asked Jason as he immediately lifted the tot up and held him over his head. "Uh?" repeated Jason again as he looked up at his son. He couldn't believe how much the little guy looked like not only him but Michael and Jake as well when they had been his age. But there was also something about him that reminded him of Sam. Danny was the perfect mixture of both of them, he thought as he smiled up at his son.
Danny's face broke out into a wide grin at this as he stared down at Jason. His laughter ringing through out the bedroom as Jason threw him slightly up into the air before catching him by the armpits again.
Jason continued on with this game for a few moments longer, throwing the tot up and down.
Catching him once again, Jason brought Danny's face to his. He then kissed the tip of Danny's nose. Danny then did something that took Sam's heart away. His blue eyes were focused intensely on Jason's as he reached out with both hands and touched Jason's face.
Jason was taken back by this as well. He then kissed his son on the cheek before tossing him up into the air. He loved how Danny's little face lit up with joy at this. In the matter of minutes, this little boy had captured his heart.
As the new family continued to bond, there was the faint sound of someone knocking at the front door.
Sam sighed at this. "If that is Carly, I'm going to kill her," stated Sam as she lifted her head off of the pillow and sat up, beginning to make her way out of bed.
"Ignore it," offered Jason as he looked over at her. Danny was now resting against his chest in a slumber. Their game from earlier had tired the one year old. Jason had one hand underneath Danny's bottom as the other one rubbed circles on his back.
"I can't," stated Sam, "It might be Rafe."
"This early?"
"I dunno, maybe," shrugged Sam, "I'll be back!" She then leaned forwarded and pecked him slightly on the lips before climbing out of bed and readjusting the knot on her robe. "Bond with your son," she flashed Jason a smile before leaving the room.
"Coming!" called Sam as she rushed down the stairs and towards the door. She didn't bother to sneak a peek at the person on the other side through the peephole of door as she opened it.
She was surprised to see who was on the other side. "Maxie? What are you doing here?" she asked as she crossed her arms over her chest and leaned against the doorframe, her eyes looking on at her friend.
"Well, well, well, look at you!" spoke Maxie, a smile plastered on her face as her blue eyes scanned over Sam's body. "The news must be true then!" She smirked.
"What news?" shot back Sam, raising an eyebrow. She had a pretty good idea what her friend was getting out but she wanted to hear it for herself.
"Oh PPlease Sam," cried out Maxie, "You know what news! When Spinelli told me that Jason was back, I didn't believe it. But after seeing you...like this, it must be true," The pregnant fashionista's eyes once again skimmed over Sam before meeting her eyes and smirking. Maxie couldn't believe that Sam was playing dumb with her at this moment. It was written all over her face, as clear as day.
Sam just gave her friend a look before she stared down at herself. She didn't see anything there. But a part of her wondered if it was that clearly written that she had just spent most of the night having sex and reconnecting with her husband. She hadn't been trying to hid it or anything.
"You are glowing," stated the blonde, "And not in a pregnancy way but in an 'I just had the most amazing sex EVER/ morning after' kinda way!"
Sam couldn't stop the smile from appearing on her face at this, as she thought back to last night. It had been pretty amazing, she had to admit.
"See I knew it!" cried Maxie as she clapped her hands excitably together and jumped slightly on the balls of her feet. "You SO got some last night!"
"Okay, I admit it," stated Sam, "I had sex last night. Now would you calm down. I don't need you to go into labour at the moment." She placed a hand on Maxie's shoulder, trying to get the blonde to settle down. She was glade that Maxie was happy for her. But she didn't want her to get too overexcited in her pregnant state.
"Okay," breathed out Maxie as she gave Sam a reassuring smile. "I'm just happy for you." She then suddenly pulled Sam into a hug or as best as she could with her beach ball of a stomach.
"Thank you," whispered Sam as she hugged her friend back. She was happy too.
"Do you want to come in and say hi?" she asked after a moment as the two friends pulled away from one another. She knew that Jason and Maxie had never really seen eye to eye in the past but Maxie had been there for Sam when Jason had been presumed dead and admitted how she had always had a soft spot for Jason. That he was really a good guy.
"No, it's okay,' replied Maxie, shaking her head from side to side, "I obliviously interrupted family time. Go back upstairs and enjoy your family. I will text you later to hang out and talk. I want to hear all the juicy details!" She winked at Sam at this. She was dying to hear the details of last night but knew Sam wouldn't tell her, at least not here in the hallway.
Sam rolled her eyes in response to this, "Okay, we will see."
The two women then hugged once again before parting ways. Sam watched as Maxie waddled down the hallway in her four inch wedge sandals towards the elevators before shutting the door. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head at Maxie. She loved the girl to death but she did drive her crazy at times.
Sam then glanced up the stairs for a moment as she heard the sounds of Danny's laughter. She stood at the edge of the stairs for a second, listening before heading towards the kitchen. She knew that Danny wouldn't stay in his playful mood for long without some food in his stomach.
Mommy also needed her coffee.
"Do you need help?" asked Jason as Sam appeared back in the room. She was carrying a tray of food. There were two steaming mugs of coffee, a sippy cup of milk, three bowls, a box of Cheerios and milk.
"No, I got it," replied Sam towards her husband as she walked slowly towards the bed and carefully placed the tray down on it. She gave Jason a reassuring smile as she handed him a mug of coffee. "It's black," she stated.
Jason nodded his head as he reached out with his right hand and took the mug from her. Danny, who was still asleep was lying now on the bed, beside Jason. "He's out," commented Jason as he brought the steamy coffee to his lips and took a sip. A wave of comfort running through him. It tasted like home. He had missed the taste of the coffee that him and Sonny imported.
"Oh, he will wake up soon. Don't you worry. And when he does, he will be hungry," replied Sam as she took her own mug of black coffee and took a seat on the edge of the bed. She was seated by Jason's feet.
They then continued to drink their coffee in silent for a few moments. The silence was comforting though. It was familiar. Not awkward like it had been before. As they continued to sit there, they couldn't help but sneak little playful looks at one another. It felt so good to be like this. To be drinking coffee in the morning in their bedroom. It was so normal for them. "So who was at the door?" asked Jason towards Sam.
"Oh, it was just Maxie," replied Sam as she took a sip of her coffee.
Jason nodded his head in reply at this before draining the remainder of his coffee. Jason then placed his empty mug onto the end table before gesturing to Sam to come near. A knowing look passed over her eyes as she finished her own coffee and handed him her mug to put beside hers. She then climbed on top of him. Stretching her entire body out along his. His hands went to her waist as the rested her chin on his chest. Her eyes locked with his for a moment as she leaned forwarded and captured his lips into a kiss.
Just then Danny stirred from his sleep. He let out a small chuckle as he pushed himself up and looked over at his parents.
"You have great timing bubby," whispered Jason in all seriousness to his son, "just like everyone else!" He was thinking about all the times that they had been interrupted by some one or another. It seemed like Danny was no different.
Sam just shook her head as she smiled in disbelief at Jason. "Don't worry Danny, Daddy doesn't mean it!" She spoke as she continued to look on at Jason. She then climbed off of Jason and took a seat beside him. She lifted Danny into her lap and gave him a quick cuddle before handing him the sippy cup.
She winked playfully at Jason, who's eyes were still on her.
"Your good with him," he whispered.
"He just makes it easy," she replied as she looked from him and down at their son. She then kissed the top of the tot's head. "That is one thing he had defiantly inherited from you."
"What?" asked Jason as he reached for the box of Cheerios and began to prepare a box for Danny.
"His calmness and patience. It hasn't always been easy but he has been patience with me as I learn this whole mom thing. He hardly ever cries, Jason. I think he gets that from you. He doesn't get it from me, that's for sure!" she smiled over at him. "I'm the least patient person or calm for that matter!"
Jason just smiled a small smile at this. He liked to hear this about Danny. "What else is he like?" he asked as he handed her over the small bowl of Cheerios. At seeing this, Danny immediately dropped his sippy cup onto the bed and reached for the cereal.
"Well, as you can see," gestured Sam to Danny as she picked up the abandoned sippy cup and placed it on the tray, "That he likes to eat!"
"I can see that," replied Jason as he shifted his eyes down on the tot and watched as he shoved a handful of Cheerios to his mouth.
"He's a happy boy. He never fusses really as I said before, unless he hungry that is. That's a whole other story," she laughed at this.
"He's like his mom then," teased Jason gently as he met Sam's eye.
A small smile appeared on Sam's face at this. She did have tendency to get grumpy if she didn't have food in her system or coffee. "Shut up," she whispered, hitting him playfully on the arm.
They stayed like this for the rest of the morning, talking and eating Cheerios in bed.
Okay, I know that was kind of short but more will come soon. Thanks for reading and leave a review if you liked! Also tell me what you would like to see come out of the next chapter or the story as a whole!
