-1It had been 3 years since Sam and Jason got married. Like any other relationship they had their ups and their downs but then again what other couples have not had rough patches? They lived together before they decided to get married and Sam had no clue how they had managed to survive that. Between Sam nearly burning the penthouse down and Jason's over protectiveness and then Sam's mess, it was a miracle that they were even still living together.

Sam was sitting on the couch looking through one of their many photo albums. She didn't even realize that Jason had come down the stairs until he reached over her and kissed her on the cheek. She looked up at him, her brown eyes meeting the blue of his. She reached up and gave him a kiss and then smiled. He walked over to the side of the couch and then picked her legs up and set them in his lap. He began to rub his hand up and down them.

" What are you looking at, honey?" Jason asked sweetly while continuing to rub his arms up and down her legs.

" just one of our photo albums." Sam told him with a smile on her face,

" which one would that be? We have so many of them as it is" sarcasm dripping from his voice.

" oh, don't act like you don't like me taking your picture and it just so happens that it's the one with all the family vacations." Sam told him quite smugly.

" I'll show you a family vacation" Jason said as he lunged for her and reached under her shirt. She laughed and then snorted which then caused Jason to laugh. But not soon enough was there laughter ruined when Jason's cell phone rang.

" yeah" Jason said as he picked it up. " I'll be right there" he said as he hung up.

" you got to go to work" she said as she stuck her lip out to pout.

" yep but I will see you later" he said as he got up and lent her to give her a kiss but she moved her head and then he ended up slobbering all over her cheek.

" Jason I wanted a kiss not a bath" she said as she put her hand to his cheek.

" I really got to go or sonny will kill me, love you! Be safe." he said as he walked to the door.

" love you too, and that's double for you" she said as he walked out the door.

A few seconds later her popped his head back in the door.

" always" he said causing her to turn around and laugh. He smiled and then turned around and walked out the door and over to the elevator.
