Chapter 1:
Surprises where something that I never really appreciated before. But now that I was the surprise it was different, three years. That's how long the love of my life has been thinking that I was dead, that she's had to raise our son alone. Walking into the house I felt my heart thumping against my chest, I shouldn't be this nervous but now that I remembered everything it was time to come back.
"Jason you have to listen to me. There's something that I need to tell you about Sam." Carly said walking in behind him
"Three years, that's how long it's been since I've seen her, heard her voice. This is a nice picture." He said looking at the picture on the mantel
"Yeah, Michael brought it over. He said that Danny really looked like you when he took it."
"So Michael helps her out? I'm glad that she has him to help her out."
"Yeah, I guess that you can say he helps her. Look we really have to talk about things Jase."
"First I have to see Sam. I need to see her and know that everything didn't fall apart after I was gone."
"Of course everything fell apart Jason. You were the love of her life and you guys had just gotten back together and you promised to love her son like he was your own. One minute she has everything in the world and the next she lost you. Everyone thought that she was crazy because she wouldn't give up hope that you were still alive."
"That's why I need to see her. Can I borrow your car?" he asked sitting next to her
"Yeah, just don't freak out when you see her. There's a lot that you missed, that's happened since you've been gone Jase." She said giving him her keys
"Thank you Carly." He said before walking out the door
The drive to the pent house couldn't have gone fast enough for him. He's been waiting a year for this. A year of knowing that he was missing something, a year of trying to remember the person that he loved the one most in the world. But even knowing that Danny really was his didn't change anything that he had forced himself to remember, he couldn't make those mistakes again. Looking out of the car window he smiled thinking that this would be the best christmas, his first christmas with his son and wife.
Walking up to the penthouse door he couldn't help but smile as he heard the christmas music coming from the other side. Raising his hand he couldn't believe how nervous he was feeling just by standing outside of his own door. Taking a deep breath he raised his hand and knowcked on the door. Waiting he heard the music being turned down and someone walking towards the door. When the door opened he couldn't help the smile that came across his face when he saw her. He was so happy that he didn't even notice the little boy on her hip and the one hiding behind her leg.
