Consensus was that the baby would be a girl, so...congratulations its a girl!

This chapter may throw you for a loop-but it shows that Sam needs to look out for her and her baby.


CHAPTER 2

PHONE CALL WITH JASON

"Hey, how are you feeling" Jason asked

"Tired mostly. I found out the baby's sex a while ago, but I wanted to tell you over the phone. Do you want to know?"

"I don't know. I mean I want to know but…" he stopped knowing he would not be there for her

"It is okay. It is not like we planned to have a baby"

"It does not mean I do not want a child with you. This is all I ever wanted in the long run—to have a child with the woman I love."

"Sweet talker; I know all that, I just wish I could have gotten pregnant with you by my side every step of the way." Then quietly she said "I love you"

"I love you too, Sam…are you going to be okay"

"I don't know" she teared

"You need to stay strong for our baby and for me. You are the only woman I have known to be able to land on her feet every time. You need to continue to do that if not for our baby but for you too."

"You need to stop being right all the time"

"I was wrong coming here" he admitted

"No, you were doing this for Michael—we did not know that he would get out so early and you would have no chance to even appeal. I did back you up on the decision."

"Yes you did. And it was an amazing sacrifice. You mean the world to me"

"Good to know" she laughed "your baby is kicking up a storm." Sam said and heard him sigh on the other end "it knows you love it. Can I tell you the sex because calling it, it—sounds extraterrestrial"

"Fine."

"What are you hoping for? Just wondering"

"Sam…"

"Fine. We are having a girl…are you disappointed" she added

"Stop that. I am under no circumstances disappointed. I cannot wait and the nursery is still girly" Jason said and then realized what he had did "Sam, I did not mean anything by that"

"It is fine. Slip of the tongue. But about that…when I get back, I would like to stay at my apartment with our little girl only till you come home"

"But Sam, the penthouse is safe and there is room"

"Until you get out—I do not want anyone knowing about her. Keeping her safe will be difficult since she is going to be your number one target and will hurt the most if something happens"

"I would feel the same way if something would happen to you. You know that I love you, right?"

"Yeah, I know. Look I have to get going before the nurse comes to check on me. Maxie and Spinelli should be coming to CA soon, so they can be here when our little girl is born."

"I am glad you have them, even if it has possible disaster written all over it" he laughed "So how long till she is born—based on the doctor"

"4.5 weeks. I have to admit that I cannot wait to hit the gym—I fell huge"

"I bet you are beautiful. Why haven't you sent any pictures of yourself?"

"There are pictures, I just do not want you to see them"

"Sam, if I was there with you—I would be seeing you grow"

"I guess that is a perk—not seeing me fat"

"Miss McCall, you are pregnant not fat" a nurse said "And because your pregnancy is high risk you should not be on the phone this long."

"How did you" Sam turned her attention to the nurse "I am just talking to Jason"

"That is more stress than he knows" the nurse said and Jason heard

.-.-"Sam what is she talking about?" he asked

.-.-"Nothing. I have to go see the doctor."

"Miss McCall, why don't you head down with the orderly, while I talk to Jason"

"But"

"No, give me the phone" Sam handed the phone and followed the orderly out while the Nurse Melody talked to Jason

.-.-"Mr. Morgan, I understand the you care very much for Sam and your baby—but you do not see her after your calls anytime she talks about you. It hurts her and the doctors can tell it effects her health."

.-.-"I just want to see how she is doing"'

.-.-"Did you know that when you call she stares at the phone wondering if she wants to pick up—meanwhile you think she is not in her room. I suggest you stop calling, let her finish this pregnancy in peace"

.-.-"I want contact with her, though"

.-.-"Letters are fine or you can communicate through someone else but I would like the calls to stop."

.-.-"Is this what Sam wants?" Jason argued

.-.-"It is what she and your baby need. She will understand because she knows how much it hurts her."

.-.-"I feel like this is keeping me from my daughter"

.-.-"If you would like, you can call me and I will give you every detail and all the pictures of Sam you want. Just wait until the baby is born—then you can call all you want." And Melody hung up

-#-#-#

"Thank you" Sam said as she came back to her room

"It is what you wanted, right?"

"Yeah, talking to him hurts to0 much and makes me regret being with him and I do not want that because that means I do not want this little girl"

"I know. I told him he can call me any time and discuss you. But please keep writing him—that way your daughter knows she was always loved."

"I will, I love him. I always will"

"Get a good rest. 4.5 weeks to go!" and Melody left Sam to dream about her life with her baby girl.


Next chapter Sam will be coming home with the baby.

I was thinking on making her name Jenny…but if you have any suggestions I would love to know.
