This starts in August 2009. Sam and Jason come back from Mexico with Michael and Kristina. What happens now? What will happen to them now? What if the Niz affair NEVER happened? How would things have been different for Liz and Lucky.

Jason was in the pent house. He knew Claudia was behind Michael's shooting and he was going to prove it. Sonny didn't want to believe it, because she was his wife, and would have been the mother of his child. But he knew it was true and he was going to make Claudia pay for everything she did to Michael. And no one not even her brother could protect her from that.

He looked at his phone. No messages. He had called Sam three times but she hadn't answered. She was avoiding him. And he was going to find out why. He got his jacket and left the pent house.

Elizabeth sat in Jake's and glared as she watched Rebecca flirt with Nikolas. She knew she was Emily's sister and she should probably be nicer to her but Rebecca was a bitch. She had used the memory of Emily to try to get money and Elizabeth hated her for that. She just couldn't understand how Nikolas could forgive her for that. He loved Emily, him sleeping with her twin, it was just too weird.

"Elizabeth" Liz turned to Lucky, "I asked you if you wanted a beer but I think you were too busy staring at Rebecca and Nikolas" he said looking at her.

"Yeah…I'll have a beer, lite" Liz said as she smiled up at him. As he walked over to the bar Rebecca came over to the table. She sat at the table and stared up at Elizabeth. "Go ahead, sit down," Liz said sarcastically. Rebecca glared at her.

"Look I didn't come over here to fight with you, I just thing we should be civil for Nikolas sake."

Elizabeth laughed at this, "If you think Nikolas is going to forgive you you're more delusional then I thought"

"He has. It doesn't matter wait you think. We're together if you like it or not."

Lucky came over to the table with two beers looking nervous, he was probably afraid he would have to break up another fight. Elizabeth thought to herself. "Is everything okay over here?"

Rebecca got up and looked at Lucky "Yeah everything's fine. I should go back to Nikolas." She said and then walked away.

"What was that about" Lucky asked.

"She says Lucky and her are back together, how could he forgive her?"

"Well-

"No what, it doesn't matter. I just want to enjoy the night with you"

"Ok" Lucky said. Liz put her hands on the side of her face and kissed him passionately. Lucky was not expecting this but he did not hesitate to kiss her back. "Want to get out of here? The kids are at grams tonight. We'll have the place to our selves. " Liz whispered into his year. With that they left Jake's .

Claudia sat in the living room of the house she shared for Sonny sitting nervously. Jason was getting more suspicious of her involvement in Michael's shooting. If he found proof Sonny would kill her. That why she had to get pregnant. Sonny would never kill the mother of his child. The same could not be said for Jason. He would come after her if he found out. So it had to stay secret. She just hoped that Jerry didn't tell Jason the truth in Mexico. This was bad. She had to do something, and something fast. She then looked up to see Sonny.

"Jason and Sam brought Michael and Kristina home last night." He informed her waiting to see her reaction.

"That good, did they say anything about what happened over there" she said trying to hide her nervousness.

"Not much, but we'll know soon enough. Why?" Sonny asked suspiciously.

Claudia sighed. "I'm there stepmother and I was worried. Is that so hard to believe?" She was starting to lose her patients. He stared at her for a moment

"What are you doing up this early anyways?"

"I couldn't sleep. I've just been sitting here." Sonny nodded "I want us to have a baby." Sonny just stared at her in shock with his mouth open. Oh boy.

Sam sat in her apartment in a daze. So much had happened. Jason and her had helped return Michael and Kristina home. She had taken Kristina back to Alexis's and they had fought. She just couldn't believe that Kristina would have no consequences for her actions. That was scary thing. Kristina was having a hard time. Alexis just didn't understand that Kristina was coming out of control right now.

Not to mention she and Jason had slept together in Mexico. Twice. She still couldn't believe it. They had become really close again. They started to trust each other again. It just happened. She wasn't even sure how she felt about it. Was this even a good thing? If she was honest she would admit that she was not over him. But lying to herself was so much easier. She hadn't seen Jason since they arrived back in Port Charles. He had called her a few times but she had been avoiding him. If she saw him she would want to kiss him, touch him, but she could not do that.

Sam then heard a knock at her door. When she answered it she came face to face with Jason. "You've been avoiding me." He said as he let himself into her apartment.

"No I haven't" she denied as he moved closer to her..

"Really?" then why have you been avoiding my calls?"

"Maybe I've been busy." Before she could say anything else he pushed her against the wall and started kissing her passionately. Sam surprised herself by kissing him back. After a moment she pushed him off her.

"We shouldn't be doing this" She said trying to move away from him."

"Why not? Sam you can't pretend like nothing happened."

"I'm not. We went to Mexico, found Kristina and Michael, and you got shot by Jerry Jacks."

"We also slept together. I don't regret and I don't think you do either. I think we should try again."

Sam looked at him uncomfortably as she put some space between them. "We can't."

"Why not?" He demanded.

"To much has happened between us. I'm so grateful that we have come to a place where we are friends again. I can't lose that. If we tried again and something went wrong-

"It won't" he interrupted her.

"You don't know that"

"It won't happen because we won't let it."

"I can't do this right now"

As she turned away from him, Jason grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. "Sam, what are you afraid of?"

"I don't' know? Can you please go, it's late" He nodded.

"I will but I'm not going to give up on us." Before he walked out he softly kissed her on the lips. Leaving Sam more confused than ever.

Jason drove to the penthouse while he thought about Sam. He knew she would push him away like that. He wasn't surprised. But he wasn't going to give up on them. He wasn't going to let her go this time.

This is my new story. Just the beginning. Let me know what you think. Review please!
