chapter 1:

''Hey,'' Sam said, when she saw Jason was awake. He caught her eye and smiled at her. Sometime in the middle of the night, she had ended up in his arms.

''Good morning,'' he replied, as he tightened his arms around her. He loved to wake up with her in his arms. They weren't always this close.

''So, what are your plans today?'' Sam asked him. She stroked his bare chest, as she looked at his face. She saw a slight change in his eyes, and she loved to tease him.

''Well.. A little more of this couldn't hurt..'' he answered with a husky voice, and he kissed her. without interrupting the kiss, he pulled her to him. Her legs between his legs, chest against chest, and he deepened the kiss. Their tongues danced a sensual dance. they never heard that there was a knock at the door. The knocking became more urgent and Sam lifted her head. She rolled off of Jason and she moaned. Jason got up from the bed to answer the door. Sam learned that it was Sonny, who talked softly with Jason. Sam did not hear what they were talking about, and she came from the bed to walk towards it. She changed her mind, because she did not want bother as they talked about work. She ran to the bathroom to shower.

After she came out of the shower, she walked, with a towel wrapped around, to the bedroom to see what clothes she should wear today. She chose a blue halter top and jeans. She also picked up a vest, it was November, so it was cold outside. She had not heard Jason and Sonny in a while, and walked into the living room to see what Jason was doing. He sat at his desk, with some papers in his hands. He looked up when she came into the living room and smiled at her.

''What are you doing?'' Sam asked. He looked at Sam, then at the papers in his hands, and then back to Sam.

''Sonny asked me to do something for him. But before I do I want to investigate it a little more,'' he replied. Sam nodded to show she understood. She went to the closet to grab her coat. She grabbed her purse, which lay on the pool table, and went to Jason.

'' I'm going to my daughter,'' she said, as she hugged him from behind. Jason said nothing, he nodded once to show her that he had heard, but he was so busy that he had not heard. when she opened the door, she looked again to Jason and then walked out of the house. She closed the door softly behind her, so Jason was not disturbed.

When she arrived at her daughters grave, she saw that there were fresh flowers. Sonny probably, she thought. He did not often, but when he came there were always fresh flowers. She laid her flowers there, and sat on the floor. Always, on November 8, she went to her daughter. it was the day she was born, and the days that she was deceased. her little girl was stillborn, and she had never had the chance to see her. She wiped away the tears that had found a way on her cheeks, and rubbed the nameplate from the grave. she remembered the time she was pregnant with her little girl, and smiled when she thought of her uncertainty about motherhood. She thought about how she drove Jason crazy with all those books about raising children. After a while she began to be stiff from sitting on the cold ground, and rose gently. She had talked to her daughter, she always did.

''I'll be back soon baby girl. I love you,'' she whispered. She ran from the cemetery and went straight to Kelly's. She knew that Jason was probably busy with his work, and she did not want bother him. She went inside and had to get used to the heat. She walked to the counter and had to wait. When the customer turned to her, she saw that it was Lucky.

''Hey, Sam,'' he said surprised. ''What are you doing here?'' She shrugged her shoulders.

''I just got from the cemetery to see my daughter, and I thought 'why don't I go to Kelly's for a burger','' she replied. ''What are you doing here in the middle of your shift?'' He looked at her and shook his head with a smile.

''I'm not working today. Elizabeth, the boy's and I are going away for a midweek break.'' she nodded and smiled back, glad for Lucky that the weather was better between him and his ex.

''Ok, I have to go back. I'll see you around,'' he said, and he waved to her.

''See you around Lucky. And have fun this week, will you?'' she smiled as he burst into laughter. They said goodbye and Lucky walked away. She herself walked over to the counter and ordered herself a burger to go. Then she walked to a table to wait for her food. She saw Alexis come in and called her.

''Hey, Sam, what are you doing here?'' she rolled her eyes because this was the second person who asked. She motioned to her that she could come sit with her, and Alexis did.

''Your sisters are with Ric at the moment, he wanted to spent some time with them,'' Alexis told her, when she saw Sam was looking around to see where they were. Sam nodded, and shifted in her chair. she did not really know what to say to her mother, it was not a perfect mother-daughter relationship. A few days back they had a quarrel about Molly, who had caught her and Jason kissing.

''So.. How have you been doing?'' Sam asked. She did not know what else to ask.

''Great. Molly and Kristina have been great too. Kristina has a lot of homework to do, so she is busy with that, and now she has a boyfriend, Kiefer.'' Sam nodded and smiled as she listened to Alexis talk. ''And Molly, she is doing great at school too, she is having lots of fun with Morgan.'' After talking a little more, her food was brought to her, and sat in a paper bag to take. She looked at Alexis, and shrugged her shoulders.

''I have to go, Alexis, so we will catch up later ok?'' She said. After Alexis had nodded, she stood up and walked out of the dinner. Before she closed the door, she waved one more time to Alexis, and then walked comfortably back home.

When she came home she saw Jason wasn't home. She threw her coat over the chair and her purse on the desk, and sat on the couch. She managed to sit quietly for 20 minutes, but then she became restless, and she walked to the desk for her purse to address. Her cell phone was inside, and she took it out. She called Jason, but he didn't answer. She let it rest, knowing he was working. She played some pool instead.

Jason came home toward evening, and he looked tired. When he saw her at the pool table he smiled. She laid down the cue and walked slowly toward him. his smile widened when he saw what she was planning. When she stood before him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a sensual kiss. He answered the kiss with as much passion, and deepened the kiss after a few seconds. He pulled her closer to him and she felt that he was excited. They walked, without interrupting the kiss, to the couch and let themselves to fall on it. Jason was on top of Sam, and she wrapped her legs around his legs. He began to caress her, her arms, her hips and up. They were interrupted by a knock at the door. Jason got up to open the door and Sam went to the pool table, while making sure her clothes and hair were ok.

''Jason, open this d-'', Carly said, just as Jason opened the door. ''I need your help.'' She walked in without an invitation.
