This is the second part of New Orleans 2007. Elizabeth and Jason are happily married but trouble is brewing around the time that baby Jake is born. I do not own the characters, they belong to GH and ABC.
Emily had talked to her mother and said that she was going to stay in New Orleans till her nephew was born. She was thinking about moving down there permanently and hoped that she could figure out what she wanted to do. Her parents gave their blessings to their daughter.
Alan and Monica planned on going down to New Orleans for the birth of their first grandchild. Maximus bought General Hospital and put the hospital back into the right hands. The five families decided that Sonny needed to be taught a lesson.
Sonny was called in for a meeting of the five families. He did not have the support of anyone so he was basically on his own. He had plenty of money but he now had plenty of enemies. They all had their reasons to hate the man. They didn't do anything because of Jason. Maximus also was a big reason why no one would touch Sonny.
Sonny went to the meeting and knew that he was in trouble. He had no back-up because all the men he trusted had left him. He sat down and looked at the men who were going to decide his fate.
He was not worried about his family because the five families would not go after them. He was afraid for himself because he knew he had messed up big time by trying to get the hospital to bring Jason back.
"Sonny, do you have anything to say about the take-over of General Hospital? If you did this to bring back Jason and hurt him, then you are going to forfeit your life. If you did this to help the hospital, then we will let you live. You will be leaving Port Charles and going to your island. That is where you are going to stay. Do you understand?"
"No, I don't. I didn't do anything wrong. There is nothing wrong with me buying a hospital. There is also nothing wrong with me getting payback from someone I trusted. He betrayed me for his slut of a wife. I don't feel bad about trying to trick him into coming back home. I deserve payback for all that I have done for him and for what Max and Milo did to me."
The five families knew that if Sonny didn't go peacefully to his island that they would have to take care of him. "If you bring Jason up here to me, then I will go peacefully to the island. I will not go there unless I know that he has paid for his betrayal to me."
"Sonny, that is not going to happen. You have one last chance. Take it or you won't leave here tonight. When you go, take Carly and your sons with you. You can have family visit you there, you just can't leave."
"Where is my justice? Why do I have to sacrifice my life here for someone who betrayed me? This is not fair."
"Where did it ever say, what happens in our line of work, that it is fair? Sonny, you know better than anyone here what happens when you betray us. You did that by trying to hurt someone who is under Maximus's protection. We can take you by force to the island and you will be watched. When you try to leave, you will be shot. You don't want your loved ones to be a part of that. Do what you have to do to get ready, and by this time tomorrow, you will be on your island."
Sonny looked at every one and knew that he had lost. He looked at them and left. He didn't know what to do. He could talk Carly into going with him but if she wouldn't the only thing that he had left to do was to cut his losses and run. When they would find him, he would be dead. He could also make it easy on himself and just drive off a cliff. Then his family wouldn't have to leave Port Charles and it could look like an accident. The sad thing was he knew that no one would try to avenge the wrongs that he thought was against him.
He called Carly and sat in his car talking to her. "Carly, I am in trouble. I need to know that you will go to the island with me. I can't leave it once I get there but you and the boys can. If I try to leave, they will kill me. You are safe, I just want you to know that. I just need to hear you tell me that you love me and I will be alright."
"Sonny, you know that I love you but I can't leave Port Charles. I have my family here and work. The boys can't be uprooted and it is hard enough on me as it is. I will get Jason to help you. He owes us."
"You don't understand. He is the reason why I need to leave. He betrayed me and now that I tried to get him back here, they are going to send me away. I can't live all by myself. I need you Carly. Please tell me that you will go."
Carly could hear Sonny crying. She wanted so much to tell him that she would go but she couldn't. She didn't love him enough to take the boys to the island permanently. How could she tell him that? How could he expect her to just to drop everything? This was her life too.
"I am sorry but I just can't go. I love you Sonny. I don't know what else to tell you."
Sonny then realized what he had to do. He wasn't going to the island and he wasn't going to let them get him. He was going to go out his own way. He got some whiskey and started drinking. When he couldn't feel anything anymore, he headed towards the cliffs on his way home. He tried to make one of the curves but he couldn't do it. His car went over the embankment and crashed at the bottom of the gorge. The next day, they found his car and his body.
Carly knew that Sonny took his own life because she wouldn't go with him. She was so hurt and angry because he took the cowards way out. He also knew that Elizabeth did this to her and her sons. If Jason hadn't followed her down, there then her husband would still be alive. She was now a very wealthy widow but she craved the power that she had when she was Sonny's wife.
Carly went to see Sam. It was a couple of weeks after the funeral. She told Sam that a good way to get back at Elizabeth was to take her child. Sam should have been the one that had Jason's baby and not Elizabeth.
Jason had talked to Maximus about General Hospital. The money that was used to buy the hospital and but it back into the black was done because of Sonny trying to steal it. He wanted Jason to come back and help his family get the hospital back and he would have let them have it back if Jason went back to work for him.
Francis had told Jason about Sonny's accident. Jason knew that Sonny did not have any protection anymore and that he had a choice of living on his island or he was going to die. Jason knew that Sonny took himself out so that Carly would not feel like she had to leave Port Charles. Carly told Sonny that she would not leave and that made his decision to kill himself easier.
Jason did not know that Carly and Sam were coming back down and planning on kidnapping their son. Cameron, Liz and Johnny had gone out for one of their regular walks to the park near their home. Emily was working at the doctor's office that Liz went to for her doctor visits. Emily was going to meet them at the park when she finished work that day.
Emily was shocked when she saw Sam in Dr. Mills' office. Sam and Carly did not see Emily when they came into the office. They sat down in the waiting room to speak to one of the doctors there. Emily told Dr. Mills that she was leaving early that day because she had a meeting that she couldn't get out of. Dr. Mills said goodbye and Emily went out the back door.
She ran to the park and when Johnny saw her, he knew that something was wrong. The two of them started seeing each other and even though Jason was not too happy, he left them alone.
"I was just about to leave work when I saw Sam and Carly come into the waiting room at work. This is not good. Why would they be going to see Elizabeth's doctor?"
"It is okay. I will find out what is going on and let Elizabeth and Jason know. Thank you for telling me. Let's go see your sister and nephew." Johnny stepped away while Emily went over to the swings. She hugged Elizabeth and gave Cameron a kiss on top of his head.
"Jason, we have a problem. Sam and Carly are back in town. They are looking for information at Dr. Mills office. I have a feeling that they want to know when Liz is due, so they can take the baby away from you two. I don't know why else they would be there. They must want revenge because of Sonny."
Johnny whispered into Elizabeth's ear and they four of them went home. Elizabeth was shaken up. She had been feeling restless the past couple of days and she knew that the baby was going to be there anytime.
It was the first week of May. It was beautiful time of the year in the south. Elizabeth's grandmother flew down to see her and be there while she gave birth. Monica, Alan and Epiphany also came down to see the baby.
The home was filled with love and everyone was having a great time. The only cloud that was hanging over them was the fact that Sam and Carly were still in New Orleans. Carly had found a place to stay and it was closer to the Morgans than anyone had imagined. Carly and Sam lived a block away from them. Carly watched everyday as Johnny took Elizabeth and Cameron for their daily walk to the park.
Sam even followed them home so she could see Jason. She had found out where Spinelli, Francis, Johnny and Jason worked. The company was a few miles away from home. She would look at them and she knew that once Elizabeth gave birth to her son, that she would have him. Jason would want to be with her because of the child she had.
Sam started to believe that she was the one that was pregnant and went to buy things for Jason Jr. She had it all planned where she would live and had started to get the place ready for when the birth happened.
The day that Jake was born, the sky was a perfect blue. Elizabeth felt the contractions while she was still in bed. She started timing them and when Jason asked if he should stay home, she said yes. "I think today is the day. The contractions are getting stronger and coming closer together. I just hope that you are ready when he is ready to make his appearance."
Johnny laughed because he knew his boss, was always ready. The hospital was a couple of miles away and Dr. Mills was on standby. Emily was also a great coach for Elizabeth. She had a whole team just waiting for her to go to the hospital.
It was the early afternoon when Jason took her to the hospital. Everyone else followed and Cameron went over to see Mrs. Stone. She was going to bring Cameron when the baby was born.
When they got to the hospital, the emergency room was chaotic as ever. They brought Elizabeth and Jason up to the gynecology wing. She was put in one of the delivery rooms and Dr. Mills came in to check on her.
Dr. Mills was happy when she saw all the family that was there for her. She had two nurses and three doctors to make sure that nothing slipped through the cracks when it came to the birth of Jason and Elizabeth's son.
Three hours after arriving at the hospital, Elizabeth was in her bed with her son and family all around her. Jake was a great baby and he loved the attention that he was getting. Cameron went to see his baby brother with Mrs. Stone. There were lots of flowers, balloons and presents for both the mother and son.
Johnny had caught both Carly and Sam trying to come see the baby. Jason went to the head nurse and showed pictures of both Carly and Sam to her. He told the nurse that the women were dangerous and trying to kidnap his son. If security sees them, to have them arrested if they try to come into the areas where his son and wife were at. The hospital was one of the safest places to have a baby. The security was top-notch and there had never been a kidnapping there.
Sam tried to disguise herself as a nurse. She waited until everyone went home except Jason. Jason was staying over in the room while both his wife and son were asleep. Johnny stayed at the hospital too. Francis was back at the house watching over everyone else.
Sam saw that Jason had fallen asleep and so that was when she made her way into Elizabeth's room. She was about to grab the baby when Jason grabbed Sam. He put his hand over her mouth so she wouldn't awaken Elizabeth or Jake.
He then walked her out of the room and called for security. "She tried to kidnap my son. She needs to be arrested now." Security came and took her away. He was sure that Carly would try something too but when she saw Sam being taken away, she knew that she couldn't get near Jake or Elizabeth.
When Sam was brought in, she had a psychotic break. She looked at the police officers and thought that someone had stolen her baby. "You have to help me. My baby is gone. I was going to get him and bring him home. My husband, Jason is expecting us and he will be very upset if I don't go home. We were on a trip here and I went into labor early. I don't know the area well but we were at a hospital near the Garden district. I had delivered a son named Jake. I need to get to him and take him back home to Port Charles. Can you please help me? I know that you are strong and brave. If you have a child, please help me get mine back. I think that someone is impersonating me and she is not who she says she is. I just want to go home and have my family back."
The police officers knew that she was either a great liar or she had totally lost it and really thought that the baby she tried to kidnap was hers. It didn't matter either way because she was not going anywhere.
They locked her up and Sam was lost in a world that she had created. Carly had Alexis flown down to help her daughter. When Carly and Alexis saw Sam, it was like they were looking at a caged animal. Alexis knew that she could not defend Sam like she was but she was going to find a way to get her daughter the help that she needed.
Carly had decided that she needed to talk to Jason and tell her what was going on with Sam. Carly waited till Jason went home for a break. Audrey, Emily, and Johnny were at the hospital with Cameron.
Carly went to Jason's home and knocked on his door. Francis opened it up and told Carly to go back home. She was not wanted here. "I have to speak to Jason about Sam. She has lost it and believes that Jake is her son. She feels that everyone took away her son and that Elizabeth is the one living in denial. She needs help and if she doesn't get it she could be more dangerous than she is now."
Jason went to the door and looked at Carly. He could tell that she was not lying but he didn't want to see or hear from her or Sam. "Carly, I have told you before that you and Sam are no longer my problem or a part of my life. Sam tried to kidnap Jake and I let security take care of her. I went through the legal channels this time but if she tries anything or if you try anything, I will defend my family. No one is going to hurt my family. I am sorry about Sonny but he knew what he did and what would happen to him if he went against the five families. I know they gave him a chance and since you wouldn't go, he took his own life. I know what is going on up there. Just remember that, I know what you said to Sonny. I know that you loved him but not enough to leave your life in Port Charles for him. That is why he went off the cliff. He had nothing to do with me, but everything to do with you. Just remember that before you try to take this out on me or my family. Elizabeth is my family. She is my life and if you try anything to hurt her, you will pay. You won't see me coming till it's too late."
"I am trying to help you and you are threatening me. I am your best friend, I have always had your back. How can you treat me like I am dirt on your shoe? I don't understand where all this anger is coming from, it should be from me. You betrayed me with that loser your married. She will never be a true partner like Sam or I would have. She doesn't understand our world."
"I am not in that world anymore. I will defend my family but I am not a part of that life. She is my life and you better not mess with it. It is time for you to go home. Take care of your sons and have a good life. Just remember that you are not a part of my life."
Carly left and went back to the house that she was living at with Sam.
Carly packed her things and flew back to Port Charles. Elizabeth was being discharged from the hospital the next morning. She and Jake were released around the same time that Alexis found a psychiatrist to see her daughter, Sam.
Alexis talked to the judge that was overseeing the case. She wanted to get the judge to release Sam, so Alexis could take her home to New York. When Alexis got back home she was going to send Sam to get the help that she needed.
Jason heard from the courts that Alexis was taking Sam back to New York for some psychiatric help. He knew that Sam would be better off under her mother's care so he didn't try to press the issue. Johnny and Francis knew what happened but no one told Elizabeth until she was safely home with Jake.
When Jason told Elizabeth, what Sam tried to do and what happened to her afterwards, Elizabeth was relieved that Jason took care of it all. Later that day, Jason received a phone call that was rather strange. Sam had rented a home in the bayou. She had started to fix it up for them to live in. The realtor said that Sam had put his name on the property too. When she didn't pay the next installment; she tried to find Sam but couldn't. She also had Jason's information and that was how she could contact him.
Jason went to see the realtor and she showed him the house that Sam had rented. She had decorated the baby's room for when she kidnapped his son. He knew that she wasn't crazy but she was calculated and that she would get out and try something like this again. He saw the pictures of the two of them in the master-bedroom.
Jason asked if the house was for sale. He wanted to buy it and then have it torn down. He didn't want any reminders of Sam at all. Jason wrote a check for the house. It was more than what the owners wanted, but when they heard why Jason wanted it torn down, they understood and allowed it.
The house was torn down and the lot was given back to the owners. The owners loved the property and with the money that Jason had given them for it, they could rebuild the house the way they wanted and it would be much better than it ever was.
