A/N: This was a little plot bunny that grew into a jackrabbit, but here is the first part. I should be posting daily since it is completely written.
A Dream is your reality in your head.
Chapter 1
Sam looked into Jason's eyes, then smugly said "Yes, I will marry you."
When he just nodded then handed her the ring box, she smirked then let the smile fall when she realized it wasn't the ring she had been expecting. When she placed it on her hand, she reached out, took his and placed it on her stomach. "Can you feel it, can you feel our child growing?"
Before he answered in what she was sure would be happiness, there was a sudden rapping at the door then Carly entered the penthouse. "Jason, I need you. Jax, Jax has given Brenda control of Crimson, please you have to get her out of town... you promised, after you saved her, she would leave."
"Carly, we just got engaged, do you think maybe, just maybe you can give us one night without having to deal with your issues?" hissed Sam more than a bit fed up with the constant interruptions if it wasn't Spinelli it was Sonny or Brenda or Carly, the list just went on and on and on, well no more... Now that she had Jason by the balls, things were going to change and first thing was that he had to start putting his family, her and their child over this annoying whining bitch.
"Sam, no matter how many kids you have, Michael and we will always, and I mean ALWAYS come first." she stated then when Jason who had gone up to get his jacket from the bed, told Sam he wasn't sure when he would be back.
Alone in the penthouse, Sam paced back and forth, this, this had to change and she knew if she didn't put her foot down now, Carly would be running their lives forever. Grabbing her own coat, she left the house, heading straight for Kelly's where she knew Micheal had been hanging out according to her sister. She would get what she wanted through the kid.
Playing on the boy's sympathies, she soon had him on her side even as they walked to the door. When she saw Elizabeth coming in, struggling to get all three of her children in the door, looking ragged, Sam made a point of announcing that Jason had given her an engagement ring.
When the woman flinch, then shook her head at Sam, she smiled back and said "And we are expecting Jason's first child, isn't that wonderful."
There were shots, loud and close by... looking up. Sam saw Elizabeth on the ground, her children bleeding as the woman curled up in a ball. Feeling the sting in her shoulder, Sam at first just swore, then felt something clench... then darkness...falling... water? Water...sirens...?
Sam stretched, she could feel the medical equipment and then felt her stomach. When she could feel how rounded it was, she smiled a bit while wondering where Jason was and how long she had been unconscious. Reaching for the call bell, she pushed the button and when that overweight nurse showed up requested water in a scratchy voice.
Epiphany held the water cup for Sam then said "I will let Dr. Drake know you are awake.
Grinning as she watched the woman leave, Sam saw the crazy Dr. Niles in the hallway and smirked, she hoped that the blond managed to make Robin's life miserable, she had never forgotten that the woman had kissed Jason when he lost his memory. She had had no right none at all to be touching Jason like that.
When Patrick entered the room along with Kelly Lee, Sam felt her smile widen then said "How long was I asleep and where is Jason?"
His eyes narrowing a bit, Patrick said "We have to ask you some questions first. Do you have any idea of the date?"
Calculating that she looked about three months pregnant, Sam said "I think it should be close to the end of the year, am I right?"
"We are in the end of October." replied Patrick. "The year."
"2010." she said then saw him frown. "What, isn't that right?"
Just looking at Kelly Lee he kept his expression neutral said "Yes, it is correct. What is the last thing you remember?"
"Jason and I got engaged and I had just informed him about our child." she said then saw the frown again. "What is it? Where is Jason? Where is the father of my child?"
Frowning because she had been in a coma, pregnant with his child and Jason still hadn't put her first, Sam demanded to speak to him. "Sam, we need to speak about a few things first. Now, I need you to tell me what you can recall from... say when you were shot at the Metrocourt?"
Giving him a list, leaving out certain things, she saw him nodding until she got to the Black and White Ball. Then he frowned a bit then asked "Okay, now go into a little more detail about what happened after that point?"
"The shootout?" she asked a bit surprised. "Okay, as I was saying, Lucky and I had an argument with Elizabeth in the barn, then we went to the house, freed Nik then went looking for this Anthony guy. Emily was dead, Nik freaked out."
As she went on, he just took out a note pad and made a few notes. "Broader strokes again..."
She covered her hit and run, Monica confessing, her magnanimously forgiving the woman. Her trip with Lucky to Mexico, then the drugs and the Russians, saving Jake. The Toxic ball, the hospital burning down, Kristina getting beaten, her saving her sister and Michael in Mexico, with Jason at her side. The agency with Spinelli... the carnival with the Mayors wife... then Claudia... Jason and Michael going to jail, Franco... Lisa Niles, she all but bragged about the Nik and Elizabeth and Lucky triangle, never seeing Kelly Lee's shock then she added about Brenda Barrett then the Balkan coming to town. Then finally how she was pregnant and how Jason had proposed the moment he found out.
"Okay Sam, now with your pregnancy we have to run some tests." said Kelly Lee, avoiding looking at her patient. "Are you up to doing so?"
"Is everything okay with my child?" she asked a bit worried. Without the baby, she would have to start all over again with Jason thanks to the time she had lost. At least she wouldn't have to worry about Elizabeth Webber or that little brat Jake, she thought to herself.
Kelly told her she could talk to whoever she wanted when they returned, then promised Patrick she would drag out the tests long enough to give them other doctor time enough to warn people.
Alexis rushed into GH, looking around, she sighed as she saw Kristina ignoring her yet again as she entered a familiar looking hospital room. Hurrying to the hub, she said "Dr. Drake requested I come by today."
"Miss Davis, he is waiting for you in the conference room." stated Epiphany then went back to her paperwork. Alexis entered the large room with the table then sat down halfway through what Patrick had to say.
"What do we do now?" she asked not sure what there was to even say or do. "I mean, we can't tell her, not without her endangering the baby."
"We play along, for now." said Patrick they had already laid the groundwork for that when Kelly and he had realized Sam was in her own reality.
Alexis wasn't sure this would work, but for her grandchild's sake she hoped so. "What does the tests say?"
Kelly entered then wearily sat down. "That the baby is doing fine. I am just concerned about how she is going to take the news. She is already planning the baby's room in that penthouse."
Patrick shook his head, then stood and told Alexis. "What do you think Sam is going to do when she learns the truth about where Jason is?"
"Hopefully that won't be until long after this child is safe." replied Alexis as she hoped they got through the next five weeks. "Maybe I should offer to take her to Sonny's cabin. I can call and see if he would be willing..."
"No, with her medical issues, that isn't plausible." replied Kelly regretfully. "Patrick we might have to get Morgan here; ask him to play along. Do you think you can talk to Mac, see if he can arrange it?"
The next four weeks leading up to December were a bitch for the two doctors and Alexis. Sam kept demanding to see Jason, demanding to be let out of the hospital even demanding to speak to Spinelli who they couldn't produce. Finally, they convinced her she had had a virus and as soon as it had passed and when it was safe for the baby...
She had calmed down just a bit, not much but at least kept her demands to a minimum. They had brought her copies of baby catalog books, Crimson magazine, lots of little things to keep her occupied and hopefully from realizing something was up.
Then December 15th it all fell apart...
Sam had overheard that nurse telling Monica that Jason was due that afternoon and while she had let everyone think she was behaving, she had decided her child should be there when Monica and he talked . After all he or she was a Morgan/Quartermaine/Cassadine.
She had asked for a wheelchair, claiming to want to sit at the window and watch the snowfall. Her mother seemed worried as she had Dr. Lee arrange just that. Then Alexis left, the floor soon had minimum staff as most were heading home due to the snowy weather they had been having.
Grabbing the bathrobe Alexis had brought for her, Sam stood, walked to the doorway and slipped down the hall. Once there she waited for the hospital staff to be distracted then slipped onto the elevator and down to the correct floor. Thankfully a large crowd of people she didn't know had gotten on with her so using them for cover, Sam slipped down to an empty room then sat down until she felt better.
Regaining her breath, she frowned a bit. Kelly Lee had warned her that she would feel a little off in her pregnancy as a result of the coma, but she hadn't felt this bad the first time until almost eight months. Sam saw Monica Quartermaine talking to a doctor and Elizabeth's Webber's brother who looked a bit depressed.
Then she saw the blond Dr. Niles, as she went down the hallway with Steven Webber trailing behind her. Looking around she wondered where Robin Scorpio was when she saw Patrick with his little girl.
Sam frowned a bit when she didn't see her sisters with Alexis who was talking to Lainey Winters. She overheard Bobbie talking about celebrating the upcoming holidays alone. Where was Carly? Where was her kids? And most importantly where the heck was Jason?
When she saw Mike Corbin, then Sonny talking to a clearly annoyed Brenda Barrett, Sam was certain Jason had to be coming there or was there. When the red head she knew was the Prosecuting attorney Claire oh, what the heck was her name said something all four of them left as Sam was setting hidden, waiting for the man she knew was coming to see her.
Lulu Spencer talking to Dante then Maxie before snapping at them both and heading to the elevator. Dismissing the blond, she moved on to who else she saw ignoring the elevator until she heard the whispering of two nurses gossiping. "Morgan."
Sam smiled, then moved around the plants, wanting to see her fiancee. As she got closer to the elevator, she heard someone say Micheal's name and how he had been gone. Her smile slipped a bit, but she thought about it, well she HAD BEEN in a coma, maybe it had bothered him too much to be sitting by her bedside, maybe he had been too upset like when she had been shot.
Well now she was awake and Elizabeth the slut Webber was surely dead along with those brats of hers. Finally, there was only ten feet between Jason and her. Sam started to call out his name when the person in front of him in the elevator moved and Sam, Sam stared, in disbelief.
"NO!" Everyone turned to where Sam was standing, shouting the words no, no, no, no, until it sounded like a chant. Patrick frowned and handed his daughter to Epiphany while Kelly Lee groaned then moved forward while looking for Alexis Davis who had walked down the hall with Lainey.
Sam stopped shouting, then glared at the man standing across the way then at the woman and the two little boys with her. Finally she looked back at the man carrying the baby, the baby that was looking straight at her with very familiar blue eyes. A baby that was supposed to be Nicolas Cassadine's but clearly was Jason Morgan's.
"Sam, now is not the time." said Alexis moving forward only to be shoved out of the way by the enraged woman as she pushed her way to where Jason was standing looking at her with distaste.
"How can you do this to me? To our child?" she asked. "How could you cheat on me again? After all I have done for you? All I have given up to be with you? How much I put up with that bitch you call a best friend? That stupid kid that is going to grow up to be a serial killer?"
Reaching out, she grasped his hand, thankfully his other arm was strong enough to support Adrianna when she placed his hand on her stomach and said "Can't you feel it, our child, growing inside of me? Please, Jason, tell me, tell me that this isn't true. That you didn't take back this slut?"
Elizabeth turned to Monica and quietly asked her to take a scared Cam and Jake with her then turned to Sam and said "You are a good one to talk. You slept with your stepfather," Yes, she had slept with Jason while married to Lucky, but at the time he had been boffing a teenager who was his drug supplier.
"You, you bitch. You act holier than thou then slept with Nik while being engaged to Lucky, and didn't even use birth control. Nik was mourning your so-called best friend, and you screwed him in the same bed he slept with Emily. I mean, Jason's sister was barely dead before you were hanging all over him." Pretty much everyone in the area's jaw dropped at what she was saying, including Jason and Elizabeth's.
At that point, the woman who had entered the hallway from the other side of the hub, quietly made herself known. "Sam, what are you talking about?"
"Rebecca, you know what I am talking about. Elizabeth the whore Webber who spread her legs for Nik after you sister died at the Black and White ball. She can't help cheating on any man she is with." Sam looked around and saw the expressions of disgust on people's faces. "And that isn't the worst of it. She lied, told everyone that her kid was Nik's, when clearly she was also fucking my boyfriend... lying to me all this time."
"Sam, come with me." said Kelly Lee. They had done all they could, had redirected hospital traffic away from Sam's room, kept people who she claimed were dead or gone away from her. Even her own sisters had been banned because they were afraid what they would say.
Then the Morgans had had to come home for the holidays when Audrey had had a heart attack. Shaking her head, hoping the baby would be fine, she tried to get Sam to come with her. But the woman just refused to move. Glaring at Elizabeth she said "You, you having Jason's child is nothing, so am I. He loves me, he has always loved me You trapped him with that kid, then tried it again... but he still came back to m-"
Sam's adrenaline was pumping and she never felt the prick of the needle before she fell back unconscious onto the gurney they had waiting there. Alexis turned and glared at Jason. "What are you two doing here? You know that Molly needs her to deliver that baby healthy. Why the hell couldn't you stay away."
"Alexis, my grandmother had a heart attack." said Elizabeth quietly. "While I am sorry for what you are going through, my grams wants to see the boys and they, they want to see her."
Nodding, then bowing her head in embarrassment, she had forgotten about Audrey. Alexis said "I am sorry, but we are so close. So damn close."
Elizabeth nodded sympathetically then turned to Patrick who had returned after directly the orderlies to take Sam back to her room. "I think you might need to tell us what is going on, don't you?"
"Sorry, I guess I should have told you more on the phone." he said grimacing. "When you are finished with your grams, and taking care of the boys, meet me in the conference room. Jason, we need you there as well."
When Alexis had checked on Molly, she went to see Sam who was sedated. "Alexis, her blood pressure is up. I think we need to induce, now. When she wakes up, we have to tell her the truth."
Walking to the window as the sun set in the west, Alexis turned then looked at her child who was now asleep then at Kelly and finally at Patrick who had entered the room quietly. "I know that you think I should have done so from the beginning, Kristina hates what I did, but she doesn't understand, she can't..." she said with a sigh. "Fine, when she wakes up, I will tell her."
Patrick looked at her then said evenly "I don't think she will believe you. We might have to prove this to her."
"Seeing Emily should have done that, if not finding out about Jason's children." said Alexis a bit confused.
Patrick reminded her of Sam's story and how Emily had had a twin in her dream world. The attorney asked Lainey who had entered the room and the doctors' opinion was that she had to have heard Emily while asleep and it was her way of explaining why she was there. "Even this idea of her family selling this twin, sounds like something Sam would believe..."
Alexis thought about it then grimaced as she agreed.
"I think you need to come with me." said Patrick then when she was sitting across from Elizabeth and Jason he said "Alexis, Elizabeth just told me that the night Sam took that dive, she was the one who in the middle of that chaos manipulating things in regards to telling Lucky the truth. She knew since May of '07 that Jake belonged to Jason."
Stunned, the lawyer looked at Jason, then at Elizabeth and closed her eyes as she was told what they had kept silent about for so long. "My daughter, my child watched as this woman kidnapped your son? Then hired two men to... why didn't you tell us before this? When the press was making her out to be a victim?"
Elizabeth reached across then said grasping an upset Alexis' hands to comfort her and said "For you, for her sisters. We didn't think that you needed to add having this plus all the other stuff you had learned to be a burden to your future."
"Oh my god, she..." Alexis stood letting go of Elizabeth, then wiping her tears said "I had no idea, now... Jason, she truly believes that you are the father of her child. Has... has Patrick told you what she believes regarding the past few years. I mean, she knows part of the truth... I just don't get that..."
"We think that having the television on and then hearing the medical staff talk as well as those visiting her telling her stuff, Sam turned it all around to make herself the heroine in her own dreams. Elizabeth, you heard what she was saying out there... to me, it sounds like Sam got through this by turning things around in her head."
"Patrick, is she a danger to my family?" asked Elizabeth while her hand now reached for Jason's. "I mean, we know she is a danger but..."
Jason had already called in some of the guards he trusted with his family's protection then reading what Sam had said plus what Kelly Lee had taped and said "I think we need to consider sending the boys home immediately after the holidays."
Kelly entered and showed Patrick the results of her tests. "We just need her permission to induce. Alexis, I talked to Molly's nurse, we are a bit concerned because she has been tossing and turning in her bed."
Sam woke up, looked at the clock and saw it was just past midnight. Sitting up, she tried to clear her head of the cobwebs as her dream came back to her in living color. "Dream, more like a nightmare." she sneered. "Elizabeth Webber, is dead. Jason loves me and only me. Those brats are dead, I saw them bleeding."
Going back to sleep, she was watching herself get married to Jason, Sonny there as his best man, Maxie as her Maid of Honor...
At the Morgan residence Jason was holding his wife as they dealt with the fear that had been gone from their lives for almost three years. Since the night that Anthony Zachara had gone on a rampage and killed a few of the guests and staff at the Black and White Ball.
Elizabeth could still recall being in the barn when Jason returned with Johnny Zachara and Lulu Spencer and flying into his arms. "Jason, thank god."
She could feel the heat of his skin in spite of the water pouring off of him as her arms wrapped around his waist under his leather jacket. Burying her head in his shoulder, Elizabeth just thanked god he was here. When both of their heartbeats had calmed down a bit, Jason looked around then saw the man tied up on the floor of the barn and asked. "Who is that?"
"We found him outside, knocked out. Here." Elizabeth handed him the gun then looked around. Seeing Lulu arguing with the the dark haired man she had seen in the hallway while getting flashlights. "Lulu, enough!"
Lulu looked up at the handsome man who had shown up to protect her and ignored Elizabeth's order. She just knew that if she didn't stay with him, if he left... something bad was going to happen. He would either run into that annoyingly happy nurse Nadine, or that slut Maxie Jones, or worse, that good two shoes... then she realized at least in that case, she had nothing to worry about. Johnny Zachara was as likely to be interested in Georgie Jones as he was a cop.
Still she was loving the adventure, it reminded her of her parents lives when they were her age. Hearing her name being called again, she turned to protest when Jason called Johnny to go with him then ordered the rest of them to stay there.
When she turned to ignore the order, Elizabeth stopped her and said "You are going to stay here and let us protect you while they go out and deal with this."
Jason just handed Elizabeth back the gun then removed the one that Spinelli had since they didn't need the situation to be worsened by his shooting himself again and went to find the rest of the guests. When he split from Johnny he warned the younger man to be careful. "You too."
Back at the barn, Elizabeth saw Lulu start to head for the door and grabbed her arm to say "You are staying here. Do you get that that young man is risking his life to save yours?"
Spinelli wasn't happy, the girl of his dreams started to go on and on about Johnny being her hero as she got what Elizabeth was saying. Sitting down on the bale of hay, she let her mind drift, never realizing she was slowly falling to sleep. Taking a deep breath as she heard someone knock on the door again.
"Elizabeth?" Opening the door, she saw Maxie Jones scowling while a few other guests came in as well, all shivering and gratefully taking the horse blanket she had ordered Spinelli to offer them. Maxie rolled her eyes then spat out. "Morgan said to tell you that it rains in some stupid country I never heard of."
Glaring at both Elizabeth and Lulu who was still sleeping but with a horse blanket tossed over her, Maxie went to sit on another bale of hay, then wrinkled her nose for a bit. Looking around, she noticed Robin and Georgie weren't here and started to worry.
Five minutes after another group showed up and assure the blond her sister was still in the ballroom, Jason returned with Emily who was crying and looked bruised even as she threw herself into Elizabeth's arms. "Em?"
"Nik, he lost it and attacked her." Jason said quietly to his girlfriend as he encircled both of them in his arms. His sister had tried to offer up excuses, but blackouts or no blackouts, he wasn't letting Nik get away with hurting his sister like that. "Keep her here, no matter what."
Meanwhile Johnny was up at the house, when he saw his father in the room with the majority of the guest. Moving forward, the younger man had just about reached him when the older man grabbed a young woman who was sitting talking to the nurse he had seen at GH.
"Not another step, John boy." he said cackling. "Not unless you want the death of this pretty young thing on your head. Pretty one, tell my son your name."
Georgie stayed silent even when the man pressed the gun into her side and growled at her "What are you stupid, tell my son your name."
When she just stood there pressing her lips together, looking at Johnny while ignoring the crazy loon, Logan Hayes who was near the dark haired man called out. "Hey, just let Georgie go. Do you know who her father is."
Georgie wanted to slap Logan but since that was a normal feeling since finding out what he had done with her sister she just glared both at him and the dangerous looking dark haired man.
"Georgie girl, eh... nice name, pretty one." said the old man walking backwards. "So Georgie girl, whose your daddy?"
In spite of being held at gunpoint, Georgie felt her lips twitch at the way the old man drew the last sentence out. Not wanting Logan to stick his foot any further down his throat unless it was going to choke him, she thought about it then said "Frisco Jones, a WSB agent."
"Pssh, who cares." he said then saw the way his son looked at the girl. "My oh my, Georgie girl, my little boy likes you, I can see it in his eyes. So Johnboy, be a good little son and don't even think of stopping me."
The entire roomful of guests had backed up, leaving only Logan and Johnny near where Georgie was being held hostage. Johnny had hooded his eyes, worried, his father was right, he had noticed the girl earlier, awkwardly trying to dance with that geek Spinelli.
He had just let it go, he was here for one reason and one reason only... to take his father home before he hurt anyone else. Cursing his loneliness that had had him acting like a five year old with Lulu Spencer that for some reason had the blond looking for him, thus leading to this moment, he just told himself to get his head back in the game when Georgie whimpered when she heard the safety being released on the gun.
Johnny had no idea what his father was up to, but the girl clearly knew what that click meant and was scared. As he tried to counteract what the old man was up to, he saw the girl seemed to be tensing up.
Anthony looked around at the people in the room, then saw his son was the closest one to him. Keeping his hand hidden, he did the same thing he saw the Cassadine heir do and when the door started to slide open in the wall, shoved the girl forward with a grunt into his son.
Georgie wait; when she heard Anthony hit the rosette that would open the wall and expecting to have to escape if she wanted to stay alive. When she went to twist his arm to gain freedom, ended up with his gun just as she landed on the man's son.
"OOMph." was all that was said by the two of them as they fell to the ground, Georgie's gown flowing around them while the wetness of his soaked clothes seeped into her. Standing and realizing the girls gown was now plastered to her, Johnny took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. Logan who was closest to them ran for the door but it closed before he got there.
"Dammit." swore the blond as he hit the wall with his fists; turning around looked at the Jones girl and said "Did you see how he did that?"
"It won't do you any good. There are miles of tunnels on this property." replied Georgie as she walked over and hit the rosette. "The better question would be how does a man who has never been here before know how to open them?"
"Who else knows the tunnels?" Johnny asked the girl. "We have to find out where my dad went."
"Nik, his brother Lucky, Luke Spencer the butler, maybe Emily and or Elizabeth." she replied. "Other than that, all you would be doing is wandering around blind. Here take this."
Scott started to protest her giving Johnny the gun only for the girl to turn to him and say "Are you going to join them in the search?"
The man flushed and she gave a derisive chuckle and said "I thought not."
Meanwhile Anthony had come out the other side and saw the present someone had left trussed up for him. Walking over to where Trevor's second in command laid dead from Morgan's bullet, he grunted when he bent down. "Damn, someone beat me to it."
Standing he walked away, leaving the man on the ground but taking the present he had so conveniently found on the dead man. Checking the bullets in the gun he knew that the man wore in his boot, Anthony giggled when he saw that it was fully loaded. Leaving the room through the double doors, he saw that someone had untied the host with the most and looked at the man holding his head and said "Weakness should never be shown."
Shooting the dark haired man in the back, he was certain he heard was related to LOOLOO, he watched the man die then said "Don't worry, Princey, others will be joining you."
Jason met Johnny outside of the barn and gave him the news that he had seen his father and about the two dead men. "Cassadine is dead."
The younger man told him about the tunnels and Jason swore then said "I can't ask Emily, wait, maybe Elizabeth would know." Getting the information, he gave her a quick kiss ignoring the gasps from some of the others present, he then promised to come back to her before he went back out into the rain.
Entering the house, Jason saw that Spencer had had a heart attack, Tracy was with him. While walking away he saw others gathered around Ric Lansing who had been stabbed from what Robin came to tell him. Wondering where Lucky and Sam were, he only hoped they stayed away from the barn, Elizabeth shouldn't have to deal with all their crap while trying to keep people safe.
Hearing Carly telling Kate that there was no way Sonny would give blood to save his brother as he ducked around the empty rooms to figure out where the rest of the people were. Jason saw that bastard Trevor slipping out and went to follow him. Losing the man in the corridors, he heard Lucky and Sam tripping around and groaned knowing they were going to create even more trouble even as he was relieved to know they weren't outside in the barn.
When he saw Jax and Jerry returning from their unexpected swim in the harbor, he stopped the two men and gave them the news. "We need to get people gathered in the barn."
"Why not keep them in the house?" asked Jax as he tried to find a way to get those on the island to safety now that the boat was no longer an option.
"I just ran into Zachara's son, Anthony was in the house where we have the group, he went into the tunnels from that room." Jerry cursed, he had mapped those tunnels out and knew how extensive they were but had never gone as far as the stables.
"Are you sure there isn't one leading there." he asked not wanting to gather everyone and have it turn out to be easier for the psycho . "Have you asked Cassadine? Or that butler of his?"
"He's dead. Both of them are." Jason said bluntly. Seeing Jax's face he replied "I know, but right now, we have to get people to safety then I have to tell my sister. As for the barn, Elizabeth said no, that it was built by Nik's uncle, Stefan Cassadine a few years ago."
"We will get everyone there." said the Brit looking at his brother who was clearly exhausted but eager to find his wife. At the house, they heard the shouting match between Kate and Carly. Jax heard what his wife was saying the drew inner strength before he went to get the people in the parlor. "We are going to bring you to the barn, five at a time."
Nodding, the women went told by Scott to go first, but Jerry put a stop to that.
"No, we go in mixed groups. Men and women together, to be safe. Soon, all had gone except for Nadine who was checking on Georgie who had hidden that she had sprained her ankle in the earlier scuffle. Just as they were to leave, Logan Hayes saw a soaked Cooper Barrett returning and talked him into helping chase after Anthony leaving only Scott and the two women.
Johnny entered, having told Jax he would go with the last grouping just as Tracy came rushing down the stairs. "Luke needs help, Scott, you owe me. Those doctors are so wrapped up in saving that nurse and Lansing..."
Nadine looked at Georgie then reluctantly went with the twosome. "I am a nurse."
"Good." was all Tracy stated as they went up the staircase to where the man was gasping for air. Nadine did what she could, but the man clearly needed nitroglycerin tablets.
Back at the barn, people were gathering, the only guests still in the house where the ones taking care of the patients and those chasing after Anthony Zachara. When Jason returned, he stated to tell Emily the news but she had coldly blamed him for what was going on.
"Jason..." Elizabeth looked to where her best friend was curled up in a ball, then at the man standing there hiding his feelings and went to him. Holding him tightly she ignored his whispered admission that his sister was right and said "No, she isn't and we know that. Anthony is here for one reason, Lulu Spencer. Don't you dare blame yourself."
His head buried in her shoulder, they missed seeing the glances and open stares as the two of them stood there, holding one another for almost a half hour. "I love you, but I have to go and deal with this."
"Just promise me that in the end, you will come home with us." she said "Jake and Cam and I, we all need you."
When she saw the pain in his eyes, she just wanted to make it go away, so she gently kissed him close to the lips, then whispered. "Someone has to be there to teach them how to ride a motorcycle someday so they can fell the wind."
He found a small smile inside of himself then the warmth from her eyes made him feel less alone and he bent down and said "The boys, someday... their mother, well..."
Heading back out toe door, he saw her walking over to Emily and with a sigh gather her sobbing best friend all the while glaring at Lulu who was bragging to Maxie how Johnny had come all that way to save her. That it meant there was a hot guy out there who wanted her that badly, he would risk his life for her.
"What is wrong with your ankle?" Johnny asked when they were walking towards the barn. Georgie was about to answer him when the rain stopped. Looking around to get her bearings from when Dillon and she had been here before, she saw something glinting off to the side.
Heading towards it, she had almost reached the fairly dry area when Johnny realized she was behind him. "What are you doing?"
"There used to be some sort of emergency signal thing around here. My cousin Robin's mother told me about. Back when this nut job Faison used to live here." she said then opened the small metal container, only to groan when she saw the workings had been rusted for years.
Johnny saw the matching square container and said "Yes."
Looking at the flare guns he had found, Georgie didn't say a word as she lifted the gun, then fired the flare into the air. Counted to ten then send up the next one followed by a third. Across the harbor, Detective Harper saw the flare then thought about the society party and called his boss. "I am on my way."
Meanwhile Georgie heard something and looked up at the same time Johnny did. Sam McCall was scrambling to stand on the parapet for some reason. Hearing a laugh, Johnny chased towards where his father was clearly going to kill someone.
Georgie was a bit slower but she soon had joined him. Stopping abruptly when she saw Lucky Spencer now next to Sam. She heard the words, saw what looked like Lucky's hand on Sam's back. Then the old man's manic laughter as the cop jumped back down to the balcony. A scuffle insued. Then there was a shot, followed by two more...
Getting a rescue team, Mac headed over to the Island just as a body hit the ground. Moving closer he saw that it was Sam McCall. Looking up, he saw Detective Lucky Spencer standing on the parapet wall, looking sick.
Then the younger man disappeared just before there was a gun shot, then two more. Hurrying up the stairs, Mac saw the bodies literally lying on the grounds. On the top floor, he saw a dark haired young man holding a gun as he slid to the ground.
"Drop the gun and put your hands up." Mac called out only for him to hear his daughter calling out. "Dad, John saved us."
Hurrying out with Harper he saw Georgie holding a piece of fabric to a bleeding and loudly moaning Lucky Spencer as another man lay dead next to him. "What happened here?"
"When we got here, that man was asking Lucky and Sam if they would die for love." stated Georgie while the medics rushed in to take care of the officer. "Th-then..."
Georgie started sobbing at what she had seen, she still couldn't believe it. "Then, he said that one of them was going off the parapet. L-luc-lucky, Lucky was saying he didn't care, that he was only sleeping with Sam because his wife had cheated on him and Sam was a way of punishing her. Sam and he both kept saying they didn't give a crap if the other one died... then..."
Johnny stood, handing his gun off to the detective and said "That was my fathers, Georgie got it from him earlier and what she is trying to say is that from where we were standing it looked like Lucky shoved Sam to save himself."
Crap, thought Mac as he looked at his daughter then back to the other man "What else... there were shots."
"Lucky jumped down after Sam fell and started to wrestle with my father, he got the gun away from the cop and shot him. Then I shot my dad." he stated baldly. Looking at Georgie, he said "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, my ankle, it just..." Georgie almost passed out from the pain and Mac saw Johnny reach out to grab her and lift her.
"We have to get out of here." Mac saw the younger man had no intention of letting his daughter go and knew he had to find out the whole story.
Down on flat ground, the medics placed Georgie on a gurney just as Lulu ran across the wet grass and threw herself into Johnny's arms. The man seemed uncomfortable, and quickly eased away as he looked at Mac and said "The man who did this was my father... he has been crazy for years, but our attorney refused to let me commit him."
The wet and bedraggled guests, some needing more help than others were soon across the harbor. Some went to the hospital, some went home. All were in need of warm showers and dry clothes. As Elizabeth finished drying off, she called her grandmother back.
"Elizabeth, my dear... the boys are fine. They are looking forward to our day of shopping for your birthday."
Hearing footsteps, Elizabeth stopped protesting when she looked up and saw a very wet Jason Morgan entering her bathroom where she was only wearing a warm robe. "Okay, Grams. I will call you back later after heading to bed."
When the distraught man looked like he was leaving, she reached out, pushed his jacket off his shoulders then tugged his wet t-shirt out of his waistband and peeled it up over his head. Tossing it at the wall, she listened as it hit with a loud splat even as she reached down and started to unbuckle his belt.
"I can do that." he said hoarsely only for Elizabeth to removed his hands and continue without saying a word. When she had pushed him down on her bench, then undid his boots, Jason could only watch, boneless as first she took them off, then his socks.
Hearing the rustle of the jean material as it came down first one leg then the other, he moaned when she then eased his shorts down. Seeing the hard evidence that he wanted her, she looked up, smirked then said "Not now, first we need to warm you up."
His mind went to a very hot spot and Elizabeth gave a small giggle when she saw his body react. "What were you just thinking."
"That I would love to be buried in a nice warm spot, with you curled around me and my hands buried in your hair." he said clearly finding it hard to resist following through with what he was saying.
Elizabeth thought about how long it had been, how much she wanted him then moved in closer and whispered in his ear. "Jason, your skin is so cold right now, that that warm spot would give you third degree burns if I showed you how badly I want you."
Spinning away from his now grasping hands, she let out a soft giggle and headed back to her bathroom. "Hey, come back here."
"Join me." he heard then the sound of the shower starting. He didn't need a second invitation as he entered her bathroom for the first time. Seeing the shower, Jason thought about all the things they could do with all that space but before he could tell her what was on his mind her arm snaked out, then pulled him in with her.
When his hand started to roam, she slapped them down and said "Behave."
Then with a quick kiss and a flirty glance said "For now, at least until we get you warm."
Reaching for her loofah, she soaped it up, then ran it down his chest. Within minutes, the steam was warming up the bathroom as Jason felt Elizabeth reach down and cup his erection. "You are killing me."
"Not yet." she said with a moan as his hands joined hers. When she started to move them back and forth, keeping a slow pace, she listened as he moaned, then reached below to gently massage his sac. When his legs gave way and he ended up on the tiled bench, Elizabeth leaned his head forward against her chest as the rest of him was now out of reach.
She saw her shampoo at eye level, then as she went to put a small amount in her hands, felt Jason's tongue lick the side of her breast. A pant slipped out before she regained control and started to wash his hair.
Jason had never realized having your hair washed could be this erotic as his body all but begged him to take back control from the woman he loved. Instead he moved his head just a bit and latched on to the erect nipple in front of him.
Elizabeth let out a loud moan, that turned into a disappointed groan when Jason released the now burning point. When he lifted his head, she stop washing his hair and maneuvered his head to where her other nipple was begging for the same treatment.
Finally knowing she had to rinse his hair, she tugged his head back only for him to gently bite the side of her breast then tilt his head back. Making sure all the shampoo was gone, Elizabeth leaned down to kiss him. Her lips were soon claimed, both of them now beyond breathing until Jason tore his lips from hers and drew in a ragged breath before saying. "Elizabeth, if we do this... if we... I won't leave, I can't. I can't let you go, not-"
Elizabeth pressed her lips to his heart and said "Jason, will you marry me?"
"YEESSS!" The words were torn from his throat as he stood and pulled her close. They stood there for a few minutes then when Elizabeth ran her hands down the muscled chest in front of her, something changed, became more intense as hands, lips and just bodies connected in a need to be one.
Water was streaming down their faces as their lips met again and again When Jason slid his hand down her body, between her thighs, Elizabeth moaned, certain the wait was over. His lips claimed her as his hand just lightly touched her, not going any further, just teasing while he started to kiss his way down her throat.
Just as he again latched on to a now straining nipple, his questing fingers found her center. He again teased her for a second, then pushed his finger into the moist and very hot opening. Finding a nice rhythm he listened and enjoyed Elizabeth's body responding as she arched her back and clamped her thighs around his thrusting hand as it moved within her pulsing heat.
Tugging at his hair, she drew his head back up for a kiss. His tongue entered her mouth, exploring then he pulled back, needing, needing to know that she wanted the satisfaction they could only find with one another.
Lifting her, he said "I want you, I need to be buried, need to be deep inside you when I come."
Elizabeth wrapped her legs around his waist, she could feel his tip just about where she wanted it as she let out an impatient whimper as he reached down to place himself at the brink of her opening. When her hips tried to move forward, he stopped her for a second then said "Forever" as he thrust inside her.
Holding himself inside of her, letting her adjust to their connection, his body trembling from the urge to move, Jason slowly withdrew then plunged back in again and again, claiming more than just her body.
As the pressure build, the only sounds were their panting, their bodies meeting and releasing and the water, hitting the tiles as it slowly grew cold but neither noticed as they let themselves finally be free with one another for the first time in over a year.
Elizabeth wrapped her arms around Jason's neck, and arched her back as she felt her body demanding the release it needed just as inside of her, the desperate pounding caused her body to tense then melt as she felt him come, like he had wanted buried deep within her.
When she felt the wetness, then more, she blushed as he moaned deeply the kept moving inside of her as he came yet again. Jason's head was buried in her neck as he ran his hands through her curls and said "That was incredible."
"Jason..." When she saw his head come up, then the fear, she soothed his wrinkled brow and said "I am hungry."
"I will get us something to eat." he replied amused at how she seemed confused even as he reached out and turned off the taps.
Pushing him back on the bench behind him, she leaned down and licked where a droplet of water was now running down his chest. With a laugh, she said "I know what I want..."
Finally getting it, he said "Aren't you exhausted..."
"This is Port Charles, crazy society parties should be considered foreplay." she said laughing as he picked her up and carried her into their bedroom.
Hours later, he yawned and asked as they finally ate real food. "When are the boys due back."
Looking at the clock, then down at them wearing nothing but towels and said "Five minutes ago."
Racing up the stairs, Jason picked up the bag he had brought in from the truck and they were laughing as they tried to get dressed, "Is your grandmother usually on time."
The doorbell rang and Jason looked out the window at the late model Lincoln and got the answer to his question even as Elizabeth fell down pulling on her jeans. Hearing her grandmother calling out as she and the boys entered the house, she said "Welcome to the family but we had better get down there before Cam comes looking for us."
A long talk later a confused and tired Audrey Hardy drove home then when she was heading to bed, thought about it, wondering why her granddaughter was wearing her shirt inside out... then it hit her and she snickered, well at least she knew that Mr. Morgan wasn't only with them for the boys.
2010
Early the next day, Alexis sat down with Sam and gave her all that she knew about the Black and White ball. Sam just smirked. "Okay, you are saying that Nik died, that Elizabeth never slept with him? Seriously, I mean do I look that dumb."
"Sam, Nik died that night, along with Ric Lansing, Anthony Zachara, Cooper Barrett and two waiters. There were also eight dead gunmen and Carly was choked until she passed out. You, you were found at the bottom of the parapet in the fountain and Lucky was shot by Anthony. Emily didn't die but yes, Luke did have a heart attack."
"Mother, there is no way I was asleep all this time, trust me on that. I know what is a dream and what is real." she said rolling her eyes. "What next?"
