Since the GH writers are being total bitches, I decided to write my first JaSam fic!
Summary: Sam and Jason are married but Jason still hasn't told Sam that he is Jake's father. Elizabeth is using the secret about Jake's paternity to her advantage to try to break up JaSam's marriage. Things get even worse for Jason and Sam when a person from Sam's past comes to unleash an old secret to Sam that might destroy her marriage to Jason.
Sins of Silence
Chapter 1
Sam was awakened by the coldness she felt as she rolled over onto the empty spot in the bed she shared with her husband. It was obvious that Jason hadn't slept there last night. Most likely Jason was sleeping on the couch like he had been for the last few days.
Sam acted as though his lack of interest in sleeping in bed with her wasn't hurtful; it was fueling her insecurities about their marriage. They had gotten past their nights with Ric and Elizabeth; they realized that no matter what mistakes they had made, they still loved each other too much to end their relationship. Things were going perfectly, with the exception of Liz popping up all the time.
Frustrated with the thought of Elizabeth, Sam got out of bed and headed downstairs. Her previous assumptions were true. Jason had slept on the couch, yet again. He probably got in late last night or something. It would be better if she didn't think about why he was so distant.
She headed to the kitchen with no intention of disturbing him but it was no use, Jason was a light sleeper and he woke at the sound of feet moving across the hardwood floor.
"Morning Sam." Jason said huskily without opening his eyes.
A few years ago, Sam was often caught off guard by Jason waking up at the drop of a dime but now she was used to it. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." She smiled walking over to the couch as Jason opened those blue eyes that she adored so much.
Jason sat up and pulled his wife into his arms. Sam ran her hands through his freshly cut hair. Sam loved everything about Jason but she loved him so much better with his hair cut short. Jason caressed her cheek and brushed his lips across hers. Sam deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Jason broke the kiss once he felt a familiar tinge of guilt hit him. The guilt of keeping the fact that he had a son with Elizabeth a secret from Sam was torturing him. Jason was so overrun with guilt; he couldn't stand to lie next to Sam's sleeping figure. As time went on, the burden was weighing more and more on Jason. The closer he got to telling her the truth, Elizabeth would assure him that it would be better to keep quite about everything. Jason feared that if he told Sam now…it would only make things worse.
Sam stood up and shook the rejection off. "Do you want a cup of coffee or breakfast maybe?"
"No. I have things to do." He replied vaguely.
Sam just nodded and gritted her teeth. "Sure." She paused.
There was an awkward silence that passed between them.
"I will be in the kitchen in case you change your mind." She said giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Unable to deal with the wall he had just put up, Sam went into the kitchen.
Jason sighed frustrated with the way things were between him and Sam. He just didn't know what to do to fix things. Jason got up from the couch and went upstairs. He had to get ready because he had to meet Elizabeth.

Jason walked into the park and saw Elizabeth seating on the bench. Meeting Elizabeth behind Sam's back wasn't right but he still wanted to be a part of his son's life and she would bring Jake sometimes. Jason longed to be close to his son. Jason knew things couldn't go on like this forever.
"Jason!" Elizabeth yelled happily before she walked over to him. "I was beginning to wonder if you would show up." She said with a wide smile. Just having a few minutes alone with Jason made up for her having to play house with Lucky.
"You said it was about Jake." Jason said putting his hands in his pockets.
"Right." Liz said trying to think of something. It was hard making up new stuff about Jake just to be able to see Jason. "Jake got a fever and I just wanted to keep you informed about his health." She smiled. Liz enjoyed lying to Jason, hell whatever got her close to him.
"I'm…grateful. Thanks for telling me Elizabeth."
Elizabeth's face lit up at his words. She knew that Jason loved her. No doubt about it and when the time was right…they could be a family. She just had to get Sam out of the way. Liz was only keeping Lucky around because she didn't want to be alone, plus no one would suspect her of trying to be with Jason is she had Lucky in her trap.
"I'd do anything for you Jason." Liz replied taking hold of his hand and batting her eyes at him.

Sam was bored. She had already taken a shower and washed her hair. Sam had even cleaned the penthouse so good that there was not a single dust bunny in the place. Now her attention was focused on a cookbook, she was trying to find something unique to cook for dinner. Sam had taken a liking to cooking and baking because of all the free time she had on her hands.
A knock at the door made Sam sigh. With her luck it would be Elizabeth looking for Jason. Sam sat the book down and walked over to the door. For some reason she hesitated for a moment but brushed off the uneasy feeling she had. Sam put on a fake smile and opened up the door.
"Hello Samantha."
Her face went pale as she came face to face with her first husband. "Alex." She
whispered before she fainted.
