A/N: This is my first fanfic in a very long time, I believe I had an account years ago, and my first for Jasam. As with a lot of people, I have been frustrated with the way their storyline has been playing out, and my frustrations turned into this story. I originally wrote it as a one-shot, but I'm thinking I want to continue with the story, because I have a lot of ideas on how I want their story to eventually play out. Any feedback would be wonderful, I am pretty sensitive though so please be as nice as possible! The story picks up after Alexis texted Sam telling her not to come home. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy!

*All characters are owned by General Hospital. Some of the dialogue used was used in the episode, but most of the dialogue as well as the characters thoughts are my own.*

*Ping* Sam heard her phone signaling she had a text message. She saw a text from her mother, "Thank you, Honey. But you don't need to do that." I don't need to do that, Sam thought. What does she mean I don't need to do that. She was arrested for a murder she didn't commit and spent the night in jail, how could she not want me to come home? Sam debated calling her mother, but eventually decided against it. If she doesn't want me to come home then she must have this handled somehow. Hopefully Sonny and Diane are helping her, and if I do go home, I'll have to deal with questions from Jordan or Dante. Sam sighed. She felt torn between going home and supporting her mother and staying with Jason. Before her and Jason left for the safe house, Sam stopped by her mothers house to tell her what was going on. Although Alexis wasn't thrilled she would be going on the run with Jason, she understood the stakes. She knew it wasn't fair for Jason to take the fall for her nephews supposed murder, and Alexis believed Jason had nothing to do with it. Sam was grateful for her support. If Alexis is telling me to stay, I need to listen. If she needed me to come home she would have told me. Sam picked up her bag and started walking away from the gate. She headed towards the exit, eventually coming up to the security check point. She saw all of the passengers waiting in line to go through, when she noticed people moving away from two people with two security officers. As the crowd moved out of the way, Sam noticed a woman with blonde hair, and a man with features much like her own. Nikolas. Sam stopped and turned back towards the direction she came from, finding a vantage point near a bathroom. They must be trying to catch a flight to get away from Huxley. Sam watched as they went through the security check point and made there way with security to a private terminal. I won't be able to follow them in there, but maybe Spinelli can hack into the airport database to figure out what flights are leaving from the terminal. With that information, he can tell us where Nikolas is heading. Once Nikolas and Ava were out of view, Sam walked back out towards the check point and the exit. She hailed a cab and got in, giving the cab driver the address to the town nearest to Huxley's estate. She was about 30 minutes away, but needed to speak to Spinelli as soon as possible.

"Spinelli, it's Sam. I just left Heathrow and spotted Nikolas and Ava. Yeah, they were being escorted into a private terminal. Yes exactly, when you find out where they're going let me know. Thanks."

Spinelli knew exactly what Sam was thinking. Although she hated the circumstances, she was happy to be working with Spinelli again. She felt best when she felt like she was helping, and being a P.I gave her that feeling. Investigating with Jason and Spinelli felt just like old times, and she was happy, because she never thought she would feel like this again. I need to let Jason know I'm not leaving. Sam dialed Jason's number, but he didn't answer. That's strange, he texted me when I got to the airport, I know his phone is on him. Maybe he got distracted by a lead, or is talking to someone. Sam texted Jason "I talked to my mom and she doesn't want me to go home. Call me when you get this I have info on Ava and Nikolas." About 20 minutes later, Sam felt her phone vibrating and saw her caller I.D showed Spinelli's name.

"Spinelli, did you find anything? They are flying to Greece? He must be heading to Cassadine Island. Do you know when the flight leaves? Ok. Listen have you spoken to Jason at all? I tried to call him to let him know I wasn't leaving. I was going to fly back to Port Charles because my mom was arrested for Carlos' murder. I know it's ridiculous, but that's why I was at the airport. He hasn't called me back though and I texted him and he hasn't answered. Before I left him he said he was going to look for leads. Great, when you find where he is text me his location. Thanks bye."

A few minutes later Spinelli texted Sam Jason's location. When Sam told him she hadn't heard from him, he offered to track his phone to figure out where he was. When Sam arrived back in town she paid the cabbie and dropped her stuff off at the room they rented. She tried to call Jason one more time before going out to look for him, but he didn't answer. When the phone went to voicemail, she felt a familiar pang in her stomach. Stay calm Sam. You can't get worried like this every time he doesn't answer his phone. Since Jason came back, Sam noticed how much more fearful she had become. Take a deep breath. He's out finding leads. Sam had gotten used to this routine of trying to calm herself, but this time it wasn't working. Something isn't right. Sam went in Jason's bag and grabbed the extra gun. Just in case.

Outside the bed and breakfast, Sam plugged Jason's location into her phone GPS. She knew he had to still be there, because Spinelli told her if his location changed, he would let her know. The GPS showed Jason was about a 10 minute walk from where she was. Sam headed south, and then east. In the distance she saw a small shack. She looked down at her GPS and noticed she wasn't far from Huxley's estate. We must have missed this place last night because of the fog. As Sam got closer she heard a mans voice, and a crashing noise. Sam drew her gun and got closer to the open front door. She saw Jason fighting with a man and saw he had a gun in his hand. Jason punched the man in the face and was able to knock the gun out of his hand. Sam fired a warning shot, shooting a crate on the floor in the shack. Both men froze.

"That was a warning, next time I won't miss." Jason picked up the gun that fell on the floor, surprised but grateful to hear his wife's voice.

"I thought you were going back to Port Charles?"

"I thought you might need back up." Jason was happy to see his wife. He was handling the situation, but was grateful he didn't have to kill the man. Sam kept her gun pointed towards the guy, and nodded at Jason, letting him take the lead.

"Get on the ground, I said get on the ground now, face down, put your hands behind your back." The man did as he was told. Jason got down and patted him down making sure he didn't have anymore weapons. Jason pulled out zip ties from his back pocket.

"Oh look, you brought your own restraints, appreciate that." Jason looked at Sam, to make sure she still had her gun pointed at the guy, and then placed his gun behind him. Jason then used the zip ties to tie the mans hands behind his back. Jason picked up his gun, got up and ordered the man to get off the floor and stand up.

"Get in the chair, sit down. I don't want to kill you, because I don't want the trouble, so I'm going to let you deliver a message instead. You tell Huxley that Ava and Nikolas are no longer his problem and that if I ever see him or someone who works for him near me or anyone else that I care about I will put a bullet in his head. Do you hear me?" The man shook his head.

"Good." Jason motioned for Sam to walk out of the shack.

"You're just going to leave me here?" Sam stopped and turned towards the man after he spoke. Jason immediately answered,

"Yeah sure why not. Maybe I'll call the cops, maybe I won't. Have a good night." Jason looked at Sam, and again motioned for her to leave. After Sam left the shack, Jason closed the door and grabbed her hand. Jason started running, and Sam followed, but she noticed that he wasn't heading back towards the village. Jason headed further south east, for about ten minutes, and then finally stopped, when he noticed Sam's labored breathing.

"Are you okay, what's wrong?" Jason looked at Sam worried. He was so focused on getting them away from the threat, he didn't put a lot of thought into whether or not Sam would be able to run as fast as he was going. Sam bent over trying to catch her breath.

"I'm okay, I think. Haven't run like that in a while. Just need a minute." That was all she could manage. Jason got closer to his wife and put his arms around her, letting her relax into him, hoping it would calm her.

"I'm sorry Sam. I just wanted to get you as far away from him as possible, and I figured he would assume we would be going back to the village. I thought if we got far enough away we could eventually double back to our room." When Sam, told him that her mother was arrested, he knew she would want to go home to her, but he wanted her to stay. He knew he had no right to feel that way and he knew he couldn't go back with her, even though he offered too, and even though he knew Alexis needed Sam, he knew he needed her too. He wasn't going to make it difficult for her, so when she decided she was going back alone, he told her he loved her and let her go. He felt Sam's heart beat and breathing slow and saw her look up at him and smile.

"I'm used to chasing after Danny, but you're a lot faster then he is." Jason chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Are you okay to start heading back now. If we go west we should hit the road we came into town on, and then we can follow that back into town. Hopefully Huxley's henchmen isn't trying to come after us."

"I'm okay now, I just wasn't expecting us to start running."

"I'm sorry, we can walk now, but we need to stay alert. Do you want me to carry you?" It was Sam's turn to chuckle now.

"Thank you, but I'm okay, thankfully you pulling me didn't make me sprain my ankle again." Jason looked at Sam, with a blank stare. He remembered being taken into custody for blowing up Johnny's warehouse. His memory flashed to Sam calling him saying she was in Santos Lopez' van. His memory flashed to a gun fight with Santo Lopez and stealing his van. Then, he remembered blowing up the van and pulling Sam, causing her to sprain her ankle.

"I had to carry you after we blew up Santo Lopez' van. I carried you to that abandoned house where Lucky found us and we got into a shoot out." Sam nodded her head.

"Thankfully, you don't have to carry me this time, I'm okay to walk." Sam started walking and Jason took her hand again and followed. Jason was still getting used to his memories returning. Every time a new memory returned, it was like he was experiencing it again for the first time. Jason could remember waking up with Sam after spending all night in the woods, and how he killed the rest of Santos Lopez' men on his own. He remembered that it happened right before he had to fly to Rome to protect Brenda. I can remember saving Brenda another time, I need to focus on Sam and getting her back safely. Jason put his free hand on his gun and listened for any odd noises. They were just coming up to the road, and looking north, they could see the lights from the town they were staying in. Jason breathed a sigh of relief, he felt safer being on the road because the visibility was better.

"Not that I'm not grateful, but how did you find me? And why aren't you on a plane?"

"We-" Just as Sam was about to answer her phone started vibrating. Sam looked down and saw Spinelli's name again.

"Hold on, Spinelli, yeah I know I'm with him. Yeah I found him, he was um preoccupied so he couldn't answer the phone. Yup we are both safe now. No I haven't told him yet. Ok when they get to Greece let me know and see if you can confirm they are going to Cassadine Island. Yeah there is a small airport that they will have to leave from to get onto the island. We'll probably have to take a boat yeah, but Nikolas will probably use the airport and land on the islands landing strip. Great thank you, bye."

"So I'm guessing Spinelli is how you found me?"

"Yeah, when I got to the airport I texted Alexis to let her know my plan. She texted me back saying she didn't need me to come home. I thought about going anyway, but I figured if she was telling me not to go back, it was probably for a good reason. As I was going to leave the airport though, I saw Ava and Nikolas. They didn't see me, but I saw them being escorted by security into a private terminal. I called Spinelli and he was able to find they were headed to Greece."

"So they're heading to Cassadine Island."

"Exactly. I called you after I spoke to Spinelli though and you didn't answer."

"My phone was on silent, I didn't want it going off at the wrong time."

"Well it worried me, so I had Spinelli find out where you were and that led me to the shack. What happened with that guy?"

"After you left I went back to the room for a few minutes to bring the tablet back and I looked at what you and Spinelli found. I also looked at a map and saw there was a small area we must have missed because of the fog. I searched the area and came across the shack. I was there for a few minutes, and found a woman's earring. Just as I was about to pick it up, Huxley's henchmen showed up. We talked for a few minutes before he pulled his gun on me, and then we struggled and that's when you walked in. Thank you again for the back up. If you hadn't shown up I may have had to kill him."

"I'm happy you didn't have to Jason."

They continued to walk along the path in comfortable silence, until they eventually, they made it back to the bed and breakfast they were staying in.

"Are you hungry Sam?"

"Not really, I'd rather just go back to the room right now and shower, that run made me sweaty." In the lights of the town Jason was was able to get a better look at his wife. He looked at her beautiful face and noticed it was glistening.

"Ok, let's head back to the room to shower." At the bed and breakfast, Jason opened the door to the room, and was happy to see everything was in order. He turned to Sam again and pulled her into a hug.

"I'm happy you're here."

"I am too. I wanted to help Alexis and be there for her and my sisters, but I didn't want to leave you Jason. Nikolas faking his death affects you just as much as it does Danny and I, and I need to help you bring him back." Jason put his hands on his wife's face and pulled her into a kiss.

"Thank you Sam. We wouldn't have gotten this far without you."

"Spinelli helped us a lot."

"He has been, but you've believed in me. When you walked into Niks room and saw me by the window and saw the body on the rocks, you believed me no questions asked. You had faith in me."

"I'll always believe in you Jason. You tell the truth, and you own your mistakes. It's easy believing you because if you had hurt Nikolas, you would have told me." Jason swept the hair out of Sam's face and kissed her again this time more deeply. It still amazed him how much Sam loved and believed in him, even after everything that had happened. When he got his memories back, leaving Sam and Danny to save Bernie was fresh in his mind, as well as the events leading up to the both of them saving Danny. He was an idiot for letting Sam leave, and he was an idiot for believing he couldn't love her baby, since at the time he didn't know he was really Danny's father. On top of that, he remembered even more clearly his life as Jake Doe, how he was so drawn to Sam and how he denied the connection he felt because of Elizabeth. Even after he found out who he was, he went against his instincts and stayed away from Sam.

"I don't deserve you Sam."

"Jason please don't start this again." Ever since Jason's memories returned, his guilt for everything that had happened had been increasing. Sam appreciated the many apologies, but didn't need them. Although Jason had treated her badly before he left and before his memories returned, Sam didn't want to dwell on it.

"But Sam-"

"No Jason. I held onto hope as much as I could that you were still alive, but part of me grasped that I might never see you again. That Danny would never know you. I have you back. We have you back. We found our way back to each other. That's more important than whats happened since you came back. Dwelling on it and feeling guilty won't change it Jason. Everything that happened, happened, and it brought us here, together. Please stop feeling guilty. You don't have to make up for it. I love you so much. I never thought I would be this happy again but I am. We are happy together and we are a family and that's what matters. Promise me that we will both move past what happened and focus on the future. Promise me that you will stop feeling guilty and apologizing. Promise me."

"I promise."

"Good." Sam kissed Jason this time, but Jason pulled her closer and deepened the kiss.

"If you won't let me apologize anymore for everything that happened, then I'll just have to show you how much I love you." Jason picked Sam up so she could straddle him, and he brought her to the bed.

Sam broke the kiss, "But Jason I'm all-"

"Shhhh." Jason stopped Sam with another kiss on her mouth, and then moved to her jaw line and neck. Jason licked her neck towards her ear, sucking on her earlobe. Jason loved the taste of Sam's skin, and made his way to her collarbone. He needed more, so he began to unbutton Sam's shirt. Jason looked into Sam's eyes, and noticed how beautiful she looked. When her shirt was unbuttoned, he made his way towards her breasts, leaving kisses and using his tongue to lick down her stomach. Jason stood up and took his shirt off giving Sam the opportunity to sit up, and looking at Jason, reach back to remove her bra. He had seen her do this a dozen times, but still couldn't believe how beautiful and sexy she looked. Sam got on her knees, and was almost eye level with Jason. She pulled him into her and kissed and bit his neck, knowing how much it turned him on. She pressed herself up against him, and felt him through his jeans. Sam moved from his neck to his collarbone, down to his chest. She used her thumb to rub his nipple, and then used her tongue to lick the other one. Jason put his hands on her bare back and moved closer to her. Sam drew back to take his belt off and unbutton his pants, which she then pulled down. Jason stepped out of them and began unbuttoning Sam's jeans.

"You're turn." He lifted Sam off the bed after he unbuttoned them. Sam pushed Jason towards the bed so he would sit down. She slowly removed her pants, and then straddled him, pressing herself up against him to kiss him. Jason grabbed her ass and ran his hands up her back moving to grab the back of her head. He stood up and placed her back on the bed. He got on top of her, and moved to her neck and then to her breasts, licking and teasing her nipples with his tongue and hands. Sam moaned, and she could feel Jason's member throb. She loved how his body reacted to hers, and moved her hands towards his boxers, teasing his member through his shorts.

"Don't tease me Sam." His eyes looked cloudy. Sam smirked.

"I thought you liked it when I teased you?" Jason used his finger to trace a line down her stomach towards her thong. He moved his hand in between her legs, touching her over the fabric of her panties.

"Wouldn't it be nicer if I was actually fingering you?"

"Point taken." Sam pulled his boxers down and moved her hand towards his balls, which she gently rolled in her hands, and then moved towards his member. He was already hard, but she moved her hand on his shaft, up and down. Jason moaned into her neck at the movement. He moved his hand towards her underwear again and felt how wet she was. He slipped his hand inside, finding her clit. He gently stroked it, hearing Sam's breathing increase as he stroked it faster. He kept stroking as he found his way to her mouth. He licked her lips. She responded by moving her hand faster on his shaft. Jason moved his finger from her clit, and touched her opening. He started to put two fingers in, but Sam stopped him.

"I need to feel you inside me Jason. Please" Jason removed his wife's panties and threw them on the floor. He positioned himself over her, and Sam lifted her legs to give him better access. He slowly slid himself in, savoring the feeling. He loved being inside her. Feeling so close to her. Sam pushed into him so he would go in deeper. Every time they made love Sam felt overwhelmed. She missed this feeling. She knew they had been with other people, but she also knew it couldn't compare to when they were with each other. Jason began thrusting into Sam, positioning Sam's legs on his chest. Sam moaned with every thrust, getting closer to her climax. Jason opened her legs and bent over, resting his forearms near her sides so he was directly above her. Sam grabbed Jason's head pulling him closer so she could kiss him. Jason broke the kiss.

"I love you Sam." Sam looked into his eyes and felt her eyes roll back towards the ceiling as her body began to tingle. She moaned again, as Jason thrusted harder and faster, intensifying her feelings of pleasure.

"Oh god yes Jason." When he heard his name, he knew he couldn't last any longer and had to release himself. He put his forehead to hers, and breathed her in. He stayed inside of her because he didn't want to stop feeling close to her. Sam focused her eyes on Jason's and touched his cheek, kissing him again.

"I love you Jason." Jason pushed himself out of her rolling over to lay next to her in the bed. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her forehead.

"You're amazing Sam." Sam kissed him gently, and stroked his face. Jason was about to kiss her again when he heard a vibrating sound.

"It might be Spinelli." Jason got out of bed and grabbed Sam's jeans looking for her phone.

"Spinelli, yeah it's Jason. You found them? Thanks for letting us know."

"Are they on the island?"

"Spinelli confirmed Ava and Nik landed on Cassadine Island."

"I guess we're going to Greece."
