A/N: I started this in June and stopped for a while. I picked up again when I added chapter five and there were major changes on the show. So, things have happened on the show not in the story and the things don't affect my story as much. Sam and Ric never slept together, Ric and Alexis are still together. Alexis doesn't have cancer. Sonny and Emily are broken up and Sonny is all better. Elizabeth and Jason never slept together. Elizabeth is not pregnant and Maxie and Lucky never happened. Also, Laura never returned either. Again, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. The story changes from Chapter 5 and on. But the changes don't have a HUGE affect on the story. So, please continue to read. Thanks!

Episode 1

Sam walks through the door and into a rather large, unfurnished room. The odd thing about this room was that it had circular windows, higher up on the walls. She doesn't look too happy, but what woman would if her fiancee had ended their relationship because he chose his dangerous life, that he doesn't want her apart over her.

"Well,... you're back on a boat." she says, displeasingly shaking her head.

Sam took a short look around the boat and stepped through another door in the room and into the bridge of the boat, where the captain would steer the boat. She touched the steering wheel. It was wooden brown. She looked out the captain's window.

"Sam?" she heard a familiar voice from behind her.

Sam turned around. When she saw who it was, she took a deep breath and let it out. "Alexis..." she said.

Alcazar's House

Diego walked into the livingroom of his father's house. There he saw his father on the

phone. Diego stopped at the desk and kept quiet, waiting for his father to finish his conversation.

"Yes. Okay, call me as soon as you find something." Lorenzo said before hanging up the phone. He then turned to his son.

"Dad, you told me to come right over..." Diego said.

"Diego, I just got off the phone with Dennis..." Lorenzo said, before Diego interrupted.

"Who? The guy who put Justus's body..." Diego paused.

"Yes. The only problem is that he never put the body in the warehouse."

"What do you mean?" Diego asked, confused.

"When he took the Mercedes to the warehouse, he opened the trunk and the body wasn't there." Lorenzo seemed nervous, and frustrated.

"What? You think someone took it out?"

"It's possible. I think someone is trying to pin this on us. Make it look like we were involved somehow."

"Well, who do you think it is?" Diego asked.

"I don't know, Diego. That conversation you just heard was me telling Dennis to search our warehouses, areas, anything, any property belonging to us for Justus's body. The only way to connect us to the murder is where his body is located, and found."

"What do you me to do?"

"Diego,..." Lorenzo said putting his hand on his son's shoulder.

"What?" he asked his father.

"Diego, I want to send you out of town until this all is over." Lorenzo told his son.

Diego looked at his father, right in the eyes.

The Hospital - Seventh Floor's Nurses Station

Patrick walked off the elevator and saw Elizabeth, the person he was looking for.

"Elizabeth!" he said quickly walking over.

Elizabeth looked up from what she was writing. "Yes?"

Patrick stepped up to the nurse's station. "Our patient, Mr. Yreval is in massive pain in his back. He refuses to come to the hospital and has requested that you come to examine him."

"He refuses to come to the hospital?" Elizabeth took a deep breath. "Well, Patrick I'm not a doctor and I can't just leave. I just started my shift and I need the hours."

"Can you find someone to cover for you? Elizabeth, he said he'd pay for your time and if it's serious, I'll be over in an hour or so..."

Elizabeth thought for a second. "I could use the money... I'll call Mr. Yreval and see if anyone's around to cover for me. Thanks Patrick." Elizabeth said as she continued to write what she was writing.

"No problem." he replied.

Elizabeth then stepped out of the Nurse's station and walked toward the halls.

Patrick walked into the Nurse's station and started looking through some files when Robin came walking up.

"Hello, Dr. Drake." she said.

"Dr. Scorpio." he said nodding his head and smiling.

Hospital Cafeteria

Bobbie came walking over to a table where a blonde woman sat. Bobbie had a cup of coffee in her hand and saw the woman from behind. She kind of noticed her by her body shape, but didn't exactly know who it was. She curiously walked over.

The woman's cell phone, which rested next to her on the table began to ring. Bobbie watched the woman pick the cell phone up and begin talking. Soon Bobbie was standing behind the woman just as she was getting off of her cell phone.

"Okay. Okay, Nikolas... love ya, bye." she said before closing the phone.

Bobbie heard Nikolas's name and the woman's voice and put it together,...

"Amy!!" Bobbie yelled.

Amy quickly turned her head around to see Bobbie standing there in her nurse's outfit, with a cup of coffee in her hand, shocked to see her old friend.

Amy smiled when she saw Bobbie.

Tenth Floor

Lucy turned the corner of the hospital hallway and went to walk into Kevin's office when she heard him talking to Dr. Lainey Winters. Lucy stopped and stood outside.

"Yeah, I heard about Justus. How you holding up?" Kevin asked his colleague.

Lainey shrugged her shoulders. "Oh, I'm alright, I guess. I'm gonna take a few days off. I'd like to go talk to the Quartermaines. I'm sure they're really upset."

"Yeah, first they lost Lila, then AJ, now Justus. I'm sure they're not doing well."

"Justus didn't really bring me around them and I feel like I should just go see them. Make sure they know that Justus treated me well, with the short time we had together." Lainey took a deep breath. "But, I didn't come to discuss Justus. I wanted to ask you something about Sonny Corinthos..."

Kevin, who sat at his desk comfortably turned his head in question.

Seventh Floor

"So, Doctor, do you have any plans for tonight?" Robin asked, smiling.

"Um,... why? You have anything in mind?" he flirtatiously asked.

"I saw an ad in the newspaper, earlier. In Albany, they're having a race at 7:00... if you're not doing anything, I'll treat you." Robin smiled.

Patrick took a deep breath. He then sighed. "I can't. I'm suppose to go over and check up on my patient after my shift at 6:00."

Robin sighed. "Oh,... okay." she said disappointingly. "Well, I have to make my rounds, so I'll see you later." she said before she picked up some binders and went to walk away.

"But if you're not doing anything later, we could go for dinner. I heard that they opened up or the sign says they reopened this French restaurant across the street." he said.

Robin smiled, but didn't turn around. "I'll check my schedule." she said before she continued to walk away.

Patrick smiled and shook his head.

Dr. Steven Webber got off the elevator and walked over to the nurse's station.

"Hey, Steven! What's up?" Patrick said as he wrote something down.

"Nothing, just starting my shift." Steven said as he clipped his identification card onto his shirt, under his opened doctor's jacket. "How's everything here?" Steven asked as he grabbed some charts.

Patrick started using the computer. "Oh, it's kind of slow. I've been here since nine this morning and only three patients have come up from the E.R."

"Wow, well, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, so that sounds good to me." Steven said walking to the other side of the nurse's station.

"Were you with a woman?" Patrick asked, turning his head and smiling.

Steven laughed. "Ah, yeah, but this woman was in a mental institution."

Patrick squinted his eyebrows.

Steven took a breath. "My mother." Steven said, sighing.

"Oh..." Patrick said before he turned walked over to the counter.

"Yeah, she still thinks she's Laura Spencer. She doesn't respond to you unless you address her as Laura." Steven said shaking his head.

"Laura Spencer is Lucky Spencer's mother?" Patrick asked, not familiar with who she is.

"Yeah, Luke Spencer's wife. She's in a hospital too. She had a breakdown or something and killed my uncle Rick, who was a doctor here years ago."

Patrick just stood there and nodded. Then, Elizabeth came walking out from the halls in her, everyday cloths.

"Hey, Steven." she said walking over and kissing him on the cheek.

"Hey, sis. Where are you going?"

"Our patient is doing so well and wants Elizabeth to personally go and check on him." Patrick said.

"Yeah, Patrick, pass me that box behind the desk, it has all the supplies in it." Elizabeth said, leaning over the counter.

Patrick leaned down and grabbed a small, white box and handed it to her. She took it.

"Thanks. Epiphany is on her way here. She said she'd cover for me. I'll see you guys later, alright." Elizabeth said as she walked over to the elevator and pushed the button for down.

"Alright, I should go and check up on my patients. I'll see you later." Steven said to Patrick, walking away from the nurse's station.

Sam's Boathouse

"The door was opened, I hope it's alright that I just came in." Alexis said.

"The door was opened?" Sam asked.

Alexis nodded.

"I gotta stop doing that." Sam shook her head. "What do you want Alexis?"

"I just wanted to come see your new place. Nikolas told me that you borrowed some money for it."

"Yeah, it was just a enough to make a down payment so I don't have to worry about it until I get a job." Sam replied.

"I think it's great, Sam. It's a beautiful boat. Do you have any furniture?"

"No, not yet." she said.

"Oh, well you know Ric and I didn't take the furniture from our apartment, when we bought the house from Skye, she let us have the furniture inside." Alexis told her. "You could take the whatever you want."

Sam nodded. "I-I think I will. Thanks."

Alexis said nothing for a moment. She took a breath as she began to speak. "You're my daughter, Sam. I know I did something that you didn't like, but Sam, I swear to you that what I did was me being your mother." Sam interrupted.

"Alexis, let's not go through this again. You made Jason feel guilty about me getting shot and pressured him to leave me. I can't forgive you for that." Alexis and Sam were quiet again.

"Sam, please,... can we please have dinner together, tonight? Please let me just speak to you? You're my daughter... I just want to talk to you."

Sam said nothing. She just turned around and folded her arms. Alexis stood in the doorway.

"Please Sam. Can we have dinner together? At the MetroCourt?"

Sam said nothing. "I'm gonna get Chinese. Come back in an hour if you want." she said, turning back around.

Alexis nodded. "Okay. I'll be back here in hour." she said stepping through the door. "Thank you, Sam." she said before walking away.

Sam watched as her mother walked away. She took a breath and shook her head.

Alcazar's House

"What?" Diego asked, kind of insulted. "Dad, I'm not going anywhere!"

"Diego, it's dangerous! You're gonna end up either killed or being sent back to prison for a parole violation. These people will set you up. I don't want to risk it!" Lorenzo yelled.

"It's not your life to risk! I'm involved now! I can handle this!"

"You're not thinking clearly, Diego! Your risk is so much higher than any other! You're on parole!"

"I know! But it's my life! My risks to take!"

"Diego,!..." Lorenzo stopped yelling. He came to a realization. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Diego said nothing.

"You're in now and you're happy about that, aren't you."

"Stay out of my life! I'm an adult...!" Lorenzo interrupted.

"Then, act like one!"

The Hospital - Tenth Floor

Kevin sat up in his chair. "What about Sonny Corinthos?" he asked.

"Well, do you know well of him?"

"Yeah, not the greatest person..."

"Well, you know that Emily Quartermaine and him are dating?" Lainey asked.

Kevin rolled his eyes and nodded.

"You see, Emily keeps telling me that Sonny is having these episodes and he is not acting rationally. He's even violent and so spontaneous... she's worried about him. But, when I went to talk to him, he seemed fine. Emily wanted me to evaluate him, but he seemed really happy,... normal." Lainey explained.

"Sonny Corinthos let you evaluate him?" Kevin asked, surprised.

"Well, it wasn't exactly a proper evaluation and I told her that, but he just didn't seem at all the way she has been describing him. And Ric was talking to me, he seemed like he was hosting himself as Sonny and explaining the 'episodes' he's been having. I could tell he was lying. But, I knew you know Sonny Corinthos and I wanted to see what you had to say."

"Sonny Corinthos is verbally abusive and controlling. At least from what I saw. But I don't see a lot of this as his fault. He comes from a poor background. His father left when he was a small child, his stepfather abused him as well as his mother in front of him, his wife, Lily, pregnant at the time was killed when her car exploded in front of him. A bomb was planted for him, instead, she was killed. He lost good friends, and supposedly, he just lost his business to Jason Morgan."

"Yeah, that's what Emily was concerned about. She thinks that him losing his business has pushed him over the edge. I thought he seemed happier about it."

Kevin laughed. "Losing his business is not what pushed him to insanity. Sonny's past and the constant tragedies and mishaps that occur in his life everyday are pushing him over the edge. Maybe now, maybe now is the fallout of Sonny Corinthos's entire life."

Lucy stayed behind the door, she had worried look on her face. "Emily..." she whispered.

Hospital Cafeteria

"Amy!" Bobbie yelled in excitement.

Amy stood up and hugged Bobbie.

"What are you doing here? I thought you left town after everything with Laura."

Amy laughed. "Well, I'm back and here now. Actually, Lesley called me last week. She told me that Nikolas has a son."

Bobbie nodded. "Oh, he's beautful! You've gotta see him!"

"Well, actually I just got off the phone with Nikolas. That's partially the reason why I am here." Amy explained, sitting back down.

Bobbie smiled and then did the same. "Well, you know Lulu's around. She just graduated high school... she's gotten so big and she looks just like Laura."

"I know. Lesley sent me pictures of her and Lucky. I just, couldn't watch Lulu grow up without her mother... And I can't blame Lucky for never forgiving me for not coming to his and Elizabeth's wedding."

"Amy, we all know that it's hard for you. Lucky understood. At least you called and congratulated him. He told me that he thinks it's hard for you to be around Lulu and him because of Laura." Bobbie explained.

"Bobbie, losing Laura was really hard on me. I wasn't doing well for a long time after that. I didn't tell anybody this, but I had to check myself into a hospital. I just thought that I needed some time to get over it all. And when I thought Laura was killed... I almost lost it again but I held it together."

"Oh, Amy, I'm sorry I had to do keep her hidden, for Luke's sake. He too hasn't been doing well. Ever since he lost Laura,... he seems like he doesn't care about anything. He and Lulu have almost completely lost touch with each other, even though they live together..." Amy interrupted Bobbie.

"Well, from what I heard he's moving on rather well. Didn't he marry Tracy Quartermaine?" Amy asked.

"That's out of his own greed. He doesn't care about her. He's just looking to make money. But I think Lulu and him are beginning to do well together. I don't know if Luke will ever recover from losing Laura."

The Locker Room

Patrick stood in the locker room, he was changing out of his hospital cloths and into his regular cloths. Then, Robin walked in.

"Hey," she said coming through the door.

"So, Dr. Scorpio, what are you doing now?" Patrick asked, putting his shirt on.

"I think I'm gonna head home and take a shower. Where are you going?"

"I told Elizabeth that I'd meet her at over at our patient Mr. Yreval's hotel room. He has very bad back pains and when I told him I couldn't make it, he requested Elizabeth."

"So, that's why we're not going to the racetrack?" Robin asked, smiling.

"Would I ever give up the chance to be with you unless it was an emergency?" Patrick sarcastically asked.

Robin walked over to him. He leaned his head down and she stood up on her tippy toes, and they kissed. At first the kiss was simple and nice, but then they began to get rough. Patrick put Robin up against the locker as they continued to kiss, passionately.

"I'm on break." Robin said, breathing heavily.

Patrick smiled and then continued to kiss her. But then, Patrick's cell phone rang.

Robin and Patrick stopped kissing. Patrick, frustratingly closed his eyes and took a deep breath before grabbing his phone out of his pocket and looking at the call ID.

"Who is it?"

"My patient." he said before answering it. "Hello?"

"Patrick! It's Elizabeth..." he heard over the phone.

"Elizabeth, is everything alright?"

"Mr. Yreval refuses to come to the hospital. He needs to come in, right away! His left leg hurts him, badly he said."

"Mr. Yreval is paralyzed from the waste down..." Patrick took a breath. "Look just tell him that he has to come in. I'll get an ambulance over there right away."

"Okay, I'll let him know." Elizabeth said before hanging up.

Patrick closed his phone.

"Is everything alright?" Robin asked.

"My patient, Mr. Yreval, he's paralyzed from the waste down, but Elizabeth just said he's in pain in his leg. I have to get an ambulance over there, right now."

Robin nodded. "Okay."

Patrick walked quickly to the door of the locker room, but then stopped and looked back at Robin. He turned his body completely around and then walked over to her. He kissed her again. They smiled and then he left.

Mr. Yreval's Hotel Room

Elizabeth comes into the man's room. Mr. Yreval sits in his wheel chair, keeled over holding his left leg in an enormous amount of pain.

"Mr. Yreval, Dr. Drake is sending an ambulance. You have to go to the hospital!"

"No!" he yells out in his European accent.

"Mr. Yreval! You could possibly have a blood clot! I'm not sure, you need to be taken to the emergency room." Elizabeth said.

"No! They'll find me! They'll find me!" he yelled out still holding his leg.

Elizabeth turned her head when she heard him say this.

Sam's Boathouse

Sam and Alexis sat in the center of the empty room in her new boathouse. They sat there with the Chinese food and ate.

"You know Kristina was disappointed when I told her you and I were having dinner and she couldn't come." Alexis laughed.

Sam smiled. "How is Kristina? And Molly? I feel like I kind of deserted them."

"Well, Kristina doesn't understand what's going on and Molly is fine... she grows everyday, I swear. They're with Viola right now." Alexis said.

"Where's Ric?"

"Honestly, Sam, I don't know. Probably at Sonny's. That's where he spends most of his time. He hasn't brought any money home in at least a month, our family time has been cut so short ever since Sonny threatened my life."

"Sonny threatened your life?" Sam asked, surprised.

"He said that he would make me disappear. And now my husband still wants to be his attorney, spend most of his time with him?"

"Well, Alexis, if you want me to be brutally honest with you, your husband is a lowlife who would kiss Sonny's ass if he asked him to."

Alexis said nothing, at first. "How can I defend him?" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Alexis, I'm sorry. I don't want you saying anything bad about Jason, but there I go, insulting Ric."

"Well, let's not talk about the men in our lives. I wanted to talk to you about us, our relationship, Sam."

Sam looked Alexis in the eyes. She nodded.

"I know that you're very angry at me, and I know I now that you wanted Jason to make the decisions on your health care. I'm sorry, Sam. I know that I am controlling at times, but Sam, I am your mother and you have to understand that I had just found out you were my daughter, let alone that my daughter was even alive and that your chances of survival were slim. That surgery was risky and you know me,... I'm not willing to risk my child's life." Alexis explained.

"Alexis, I'm not mad at you. Everything I said before, I'm sorry. Right now, I feel like a spoiled, ungrateful brat who can't even appreciate her mother's caring for her. Alexis, my adopted mother..." Sam's eyes watered and she shook her head. "she didn't give a damn about me. She left me with my father when I was three years old. And finally, the mother I've dreamed of having,... you." Sam nodded. "You, and I just yell at you and brush you off. The love of my life has left me, and that was me acting out in my sorrow." Sam took a deep breath as she was starting to cry. "I'm so sorry for the way I've treated you. I'm sorry that I blamed you for my baby's death and every chance I got, threw it in your face how her stem cells saved Kristina. Kristina is my sister, my baby saved my sister. Your grandchild saved your daughter. Sadly, she died without either of us meeting her, but her death at least meant something. I'm just so sorry."

"Sam, you're my daughter. I'm sorry, too. I'm sorry that I looked down on you and tired to push Jason out of your life. I just never had the opportunity to teach you and start you off in life... That's why I was trying to now."

There was a silence for a moment. "Thank you so much for believing in me. You told me I have potential and confidence. No one, besides Jason has ever said that to me before. Besides you, Jason is the only person that has just believed in me. You and Jason have made me feel so good inside. But,... I just feel so dependent upon him. I can't help it, that I know it, but every time I'm with Jason, I have to forget that because of how much I love him. He was there for me during the WORST times in my life. He runs through my mind all the time and... I just... if I ever lost him... I honestly, deep down inside doubt that I would make it. What I told you that day in the hospital was true... I am nothing without him." Sam cried, feeling ashamed.

Alexis leaned over and put her hand on her daughter's face. "And what I told you was true, that day in the hospital... that's not true, anymore." Alexis said, crying as well.

Sam smiled, but was still crying. She got up off her knees and grabbed Alexis and hugged her tightly. Alexis kissed her forehead.
