Do not own General Hospital or any of the characters.

I got the idea for this one shot when listening to the songs Lips of An Angel and Better Than Me by Hinder.


A Beautiful Angel

The cold air of the night drifted into the bedroom from the open window; filling the silence with the sound of the empty streets below. It was well past midnight, however Jason Morgan was still wide awake in bed, staring up at the darken ceiling; thinking.

He had just received a phone call from a ghost of his past. He had been so surprised to hear from them after so many months had gone bye but it also felt like nothing had changed, everything was still the same has it had been six months ago when they had last spoke; when Jason had last heard the sweetness of their voice against his ear. Sweetness like candy on the tongue.

Just hearing them speak; hearing them breathe through the phone made his heart swell with excitement and joy.

Hearing them brought up old feelings for them and made him remember how much he truly did love her, even if they weren't together anymore. How much he pinned for her at night as Elizabeth slept beside him. How he wished that she was Sam.

Sam had parted from Port Charles and Jason's life just over six months ago after finding out on the roof of the penthouse that Elizabeth could be pregnant with his child. This news had come as a shock to her, devastating to hear that another woman could be carrying his child. Something she had hoped for many years; to be pregnant with Jason's child. She had asked him question after question about it. Tears streaming down her face, she had soon left him,standing in the cold fall air alone.

Later on he had run into Sam tearing into Elizabeth on the prior. They both were fighting over whose fault it was and such. Sam was threatening Elizabeth, saying if she wasn't pregnant she would…

Sam had every right to be angry, he had hurt her deeply but that still didn't give her the right to snap at Elizabeth like that. If anyone was to blame it was him not Elizabeth. Jason had told them to stop it, that there was no reason to fight about this. At the time they didn't know if he was the father or not. Elizabeth hadn't taken the test yet. Sam had cried at him that of course there was no point, that she was wrong and Elizabeth was right. She had thought he was siding with Elizabeth, which he wasn't. He just hated seeing Sam so hurt and furious and taking it out on Elizabeth like that. Jason had remained calm and told her that they didn't even no who the father was yet. Sam had cut him off saying that she knew. That it was too perfect. It was then she had looked at him one last time, tears being to form in her eyes and walked off. He had called after her but it was too late, she was already gone.

Sam had been right, that he was the father of Elizabeth's child but she had not stayed long enough to hear these words spoken by him, she had left town the very next day.

Her phone call tonight had been much unexpected. The last time Jason had spoken to Sam had been right after the confrontation on the prior, at the penthouse. It had just happened down the hallway; where the nursery was. She had been sitting on the floor, mascara running down her cheeks as she went through the boxes of her daughter's things. He remember standing in the door way of the room, just watching her, listening as she went on about the mobile in her hand; how many years ago when she had been pregnant, he had said that the lullaby that played from it would help the baby sleep. He had just stood there listening as she went on to talk about how much her daughter would have loved that nursery, how pretty it had been. She had then looked up at him, tears still flowing down her cheeks, asking him why he had always pulled off having a baby with her? Why he had denied her a baby? He has replied to her then, that he didn't know if he was the father yet. That he never planned on giving Elizabeth a baby. Sam kept on pointing out that if the child was his that he would raise it with Elizabeth , not her.

The conversation had then turned towards Michael and Morgan and how he had never really been a father before, never been in this situation before. It was then she brought up her little girl again. Saying that he was going to raise her little girl. He had said that it was difference, that she had let him. This situation with Elizabeth was pushed on him. There had been a brief moment of silence between the two, before he had continued on with telling her that he was wrong for pushing her away like he did back in May, that it should've been Sam's chose. Sam had then pointed out that it was now Elizabeth's chose, that she didn't matter anymore.

Jason remember like it was yesterday how Sam looked in that darkened room as he admitted that he asked Elizabeth to marry him after finding out that she was pregnant.

Sam had told him that if he was the man that she loved, that he would not abandoned his child, and asked the hardest question, did he ask Elizabeth to marry him?

Sam had known it was coming that that was the type of guy that Jason was. But it still seemed to hit her like a ton of bricks as she heard it come from his lips. He told her that Elizabeth said no. That they couldn't be together when they both loved different people.

"Do you Jason?" she asked looking up towards him. "Do you, Do you still…love me?"

Jason walked slowly towards her, his eyes never leaving her face. "I have never stopped loving you," he spoke stopping in front of where she stood in the middle of the room. "I just want things to go back to how they where," he spoke a wave of emotion coming over him as he looked deep into her eyes. He wanted more then anything for things to go back to how they where before she had been shot. Before he had walked out on her.

There was silent pause for a second before she replied. "I know," she whispered whipping the tears away from her face. "I know Jason, how you wish things to go back to how they where. How we could have our lives back together…but they can't, we can't" And with that she walked past him, down the hallway and stairs and out the penthouse door.

That had been his last conversation with Sam, the last time he had heard her speak.

Now every time he reflected back on that night; he was reminded how Sam had looked in the darken room, the moon light shining down on her tear stained face. How she had looked like a beautiful angel in the moonlight crying. It brought a piercing pain to his heart, every time he thought back to her on that day.

He missed her.

Sometimes if he imaged hard enough, he could see her lying next to him; sleeping. He could see the profile of her face, how the lashes of her eyes swept again her cheeks. The dark curls of her hair spread across the pillow; a snow angel. Her hand laying lightly over where his heart beat against his chest…but then reality would hit and he realized that it was Elizabeth lying next to him, eight months pregnant spooned to his side instead of Sam, who was far way from him in Florida tonight.

He and Elizabeth had been getting ready for bed when the phone had ringed from downstairs. Jason had told Elizabeth that he would be right back as he darted from the room and down the stairs. He thought it would be Sonny or Bernie phoning, asking him to do a job but instead it had been Sam. The connection on the phone had not been the greatest but somehow her voice had come out as clear as ever to him.

Now lying in bed, he reflected on the conversation they had had.

"Jason Morgan."

"Hi Jason," spoke the voice softly on the other line. "It's Sam." She spoke just in case he didn't remember how she sounded but of course he did. He would always remember the sweet melody of her, no matter how much time had passed. Her voice was unforgettable to his ears.

"Sam," he spoke more matter of fact then a question. This was followed by a brief moment of silence. Neither did not know what to say to each other. Jason was still trying to get over the fact that after months of not speaking to Sam that he was now out of the blue hearing from her.

"Look Jason, I know it's been a while…along while really but it's important," she stated getting down to business.

"What is it?" he asked, fearing the worse. "Are you in trouble? Are you hurt?"

"I'm fine," she replied, a tone of coldness in her voice. He had no right to worry over her. He had lost that right a long time ago. "I am not in trouble or anything.....look this isn't easy to say over the phone....." there was a brief pause in her words as she took a deep breath, like whatever she was about to tell him was life shattering. "Can you check up on Alexis for me?"

"What?" he asked. This was not what he was expecting to hear.

"Yeah, the cancer has gotton worse, the chemo is not working. They are talking about removing one of her lungs and maybe if possible finding a donar. I dunno really....she won't tell me much. I guess she doesn't want to scare me but its not like I am kid like Krissy, I am a grown woman." she sounded angry at her mother, for treating her like she did. Jason knew that things had been rough between the two of them ever since they had found out that they were realated and especially now with the whole sleeping with Ric thing. He knew that Sam craved for Alexis's love and attention, something she never had growing up. She craved for Alexis to treat her like a daughter, instead of some slut off of the street "...well anyways. I was just wondering if you could visit her and see how she is doing." There was a plea in her voice, a despration.

"Sam, I'm sorry to hear about Alexis but," began Jason. "I don't think she would tell me anything, we never really got along before, if you remember."

"Yeah I remember but I am not asking you to ask her your self, how she is feeling. She talks to Sonny alot lately and I was just wondering if maybe if you could ask him about Alexis for me." replied Sam.

"Why don't you just ask Sonny yourself?" asked Jason, Sonny and Sam had grown to become good friends after the death of their daughter. She would easily be able to connact Sonny and ask him about Alexis. herself, why did she want him to do so?

"Jason, please," she said sounding fusturared. "Can you please just do this for me?"

Jason was silent for a moment before replying, could he really do this favour for Sam? Did he have the strenght to do so? And if he did, what would Sonny ask him? A million other questions came to his mind in this brief moment before he spoke, "Okay I will try." When it came down to it, Jason would still leap rivers and move mountains for Sam. She was the love of his life, despight the woman he had promised to marry upstairs.

"Thanks you Jason!" spoke Sam softly. "I will call you back at 10'oclock at night, two days from now. "

And with that she hung up, leaving Jason once again hanging. He had guessed she didn't want to give him her number, didn't want him to be able to contact her.

Elizabeth then stired in her sleep and smuggled closer up to him, wrapping her arm around his mid section. At this Jason felt sufficated. What had his life become?
