To answer some of the questions before I continue. I rewrote some of the past (hey everyone else does it lol) but also threw in some of the current storylines.
1) No Sam and Jason are not together. He is currently with Elizabeth after having slept with her prior to her reuniting (and getting engaged to) Lucky. Sorry I should have explained that in the story. He is currently under the impression that he's the baby daddy of this one as well.
2) The Mexico lovefest never happened in my story.
3) The Lucky & Sam friendship is something I felt the writers should have explored and never did so I decided to lol.
Finally thank you for all the kind words about my lil boy. Jase is almost 4 1/2 4 months old but according to his doctor we still have to treat him like he's 2 months old. He's my miracle boy and I thank God every day he has survived his ordeal (you can read more about in my Reunited thread).

Chapter 2
"Lucky don't worry I wasn't going to say anything more" Sam says seeing her friend looking troubled.
"What the hell are you talking about Sam?" Jason yells.
"It's not my secret to tell Jason. You want answers go talk to your precious Elizabeth and leave me the fuck alone!" Sam then storms back into Kelly's to get her coffee and get going before Jason finds her again. Meanwhile Jason and Lucky remain outside engaged in a glaring contest before Lucky finally breaks the tension.
"You need to leave Sam alone Jason. She has nothing to do with you or Elizabeth anymore which is just the way you both want it."
"Elizabeth doesn't want her around the kids and I don't blame her after what she did"
"Sam paid for her mistakes" Lucky says before seeing the look of surprise on his face. "Oh you didn't know she confessed to Mac about watching the kidnapping taking place and saying nothing."
"But she also"
"Hired the goons? Yes she told Mac about that as well. She owned up to what she did, can you and Elizabeth say the same? She owes neither one of you anything. I think you've taken enough from her don't you?"
"I don't know what you are talking about?" Jason says clearly confused.
"Really? How about you breaking her heart into a million pieces not once but twice. How about the fact that she can't have kids because of a bullet meant for YOU? Leave her alone Jason, she needs peace and you and Elizabeth don't exactly scream serenity!"
"I need to know what she meant!" Jason says intending to go after her to get some answers but is stopped cold by Lucky's words.
"The baby is mine Jason!"
"What did you say?"
"There was a paternity test done between me and Nik and it determined that I was 99.99% the father. There's no chance you are the baby's father. Before you say something about it being falsified, unknown to Elizabeth it was sent to three different labs. I don't know what lie that Elizabeth told you but this baby is mine." Lucky keeps standing there trying to distract Jason a few minutes longer as he can see Sam is trying to sneak out the door without Jason seeing her.
"She told me that they did a paternity test and it determined Nik wasn't the father and that meant I was. I didn't know she had been sleeping with you as well."
"If you don't mind me asking, when was the last time you two were even together?"
"Now that I think about it, it's been awhile. I need to find Sam and apologize to her." Jason doesn't see Sam sneak out the door and head to her SUV.
"No Jason you need to leave her alone. Maxie called me and said that earlier Sam was talking about leaving Port Charles to get away from her 'pathetic life'. I'll be damned if I let you chase my best friend out of town."
"Best friend? Is that all you two are is friends?" Jason wanted, no needed to know the relationship between Lucky and Sam and it had nothing to do with Elizabeth.
Lucky smiles because for one he knows Sam has safely made her escape and two Jason has practically confessed to what he already knew … the enforcer was still in love with the beautiful siren known as Sam. "Have you told her?" he asks.
"Told who what?"
"Don't go there Jason. Have you told Sam you are still in love with her?"
Jason's head snaps up. Love? Was he still in love with Sam? He still wanted her there was no doubt about that. When he had grabbed her arm inside Kelly's the electricity had flowed through him instantly. No woman had ever affected him like his Sam did. His Sam? What the fuck had that come from. At that moment he realized Lucky was right, he was still in love with Sam McCall and always would be. "No and to be honest I didn't realize I still was until just now."
"Well glad I could help you out with that" Lucky says with a laugh. "I know we'll both be at the wedding and reception tonight so maybe you should tell her then."
"Lucky you saw how badly she wanted to get away from me. She's not going to let me anywhere near her and I can't say I blame her."
"What about during a dance?" Lucky says and chuckles at the look of terror on the enforcer's face. "I mean you'd have to overcome your dance phobia but if you really love Sam isn't it worth a dance?"
"Phobia? You make it sound like I'm afraid of dancing."
"You said it not me."
"I'm not afraid of anything Spencer!"
"Except maybe losing Sam forever?"
"Yeah except that!"
"Then suck it up Morgan. Heaven knows why but I'm even going to help you out. Sam and I will be sharing several dances tonight as we are best man and maid of honor along with each other's escort to the reception. Simply ask to cut in and you'll have Sam in your arms."
"Why are you helping me Spencer?"
"Simple! When Sam heard about Nik and Elizabeth's affair she immediately came to me and said four simple words 'what can I do'. She was there for me in my darkest hour when I needed someone to be there to help me deal. I love Sam and I want her happy, it's as simple as that. Although you made her more miserable than anyone else ever has you also made her the happiest I've ever seen her."
"What about you, aren't you still interested in Sam?"
"Contrary to gossip and rumor, Sam and I are just friends, we are each other's confidant. The one person each of us can go to when everything else seems just wrong. Just know this, if by some miracle you do manage to get Sam back, I will not give up my place in her life. She is my best friend and I need her just as much as she needs me."
"Understood! Now I think I need to go talk to Elizabeth."
"You do know she's going to blame Sam for you finding out. Maybe I should come with you and explain that I told you not Sam."
"Good idea, meet me at my penthouse in thirty minutes."
Elizabeth is resting on the couch in Jason's penthouse, no correction their couch and soon it would be their penthouse. She knew it was wrong to make Jason believe that he was the baby's father but she had no where else to go and until she did she'd have to keep up the lie. She'd tell him eventually but hopefully it would be after she convinced him to marry her and do the right thing by 'their children'. She jumps in surprise when Jason enters the penthouse followed by Lucky.
"Jason you're home I was hoping we'd have some time together before the wedding to talk about the baby" she stops when she sees Lucky. At seeing her ex in front of her she instantly knows the lie is up and she knows just who told but she has to try to fix this. "Lucky what are you doing here. Did you come to congratulate Jason and I on the baby?"
"No Elizabeth he didn't" Jason says coldly to the mother of his child. "When were you planning on telling me that the baby was Lucky's?"
"Well I wanted to tell this to Lucky first but hadn't had the chance. The lab called and said they had made a mistake and that there was no chance that either you or Nik were the father and the only other person I'd been with was you so I knew that mean you were the father." Elizabeth felt she told a completely believable story, after all it wouldn't be the first time labs made mistakes right?
"Ummm Elizabeth?" Lucky chuckles before continuing "what you didn't' know was that the specimens went to three different labs and all came back saying the baby was mine. I even called all three labs on the way over here to confirm the results. I half expected you might try something like this but I had hoped I was wrong."
Elizabeth lowers her head knowing it's all over. She looks to Jason and says sadly "I'm sorry Jason, I never meant to hurt you. I just didn't have anywhere else to go and I knew if you thought I was carrying your child that you would insist I move in here. I had planned on telling you the truth as soon as I found somewhere else to go."
"So you didn't do this to try and win Jason back?"
"No I'm not in love with Jason. Lucky I'm in love with you. No offense Jason but Lucky is my true love, I know that now, I just wish it hadn't taken me so long to realize it. So Lucky do you think we have a chance to get back what we lost?"
"Honestly Elizabeth? No! You slept with my brother, not some stranger or some friend you climbed stairs to visit, but my brother. I can not forgive that … ever!"
"But you can forgive Sam who chased after you on purpose. She watched Jake get kidnapped, hired thugs to scare me and my boys and never paid for any of it."
"Yeah she chased after me but at least she wanted me and I got the better end of the deal. As for the other things, that's where you're wrong, she did pay. Sam confessed to Mac about both of those times. She spent time in jail, paid a huge fine, did several months of community service and is still going through therapy. She has apologized numerous times to everyone involved and hell she even saved Jake's life when YOU put him in danger over your need to be with Jason."
Elizabeth is stunned, she never expected Sam to confess and now that she had Elizabeth had no leverage over her anymore. Furious she waddles over to the fireplace and glares at the picture of Michael, Morgan and Sam that still sits on Jason's mantle. He said he didn't remove it because Michael and Morgan liked having it there and with Michael still recovering from his gunshot he wanted to surround him with positive thoughts.
"It was her!" Elizabeth spits out and turns to Jason. "She's the one that told you about the baby being Lucky's."
"Lucky I guess you were right. Here's the fifty you bet me." Outside the penthouse Lucky had bet him fifty dollars that Elizabeth would blame Sam.
"I told you Jason, Elizabeth is nothing if not predictable" Lucky says with a laugh before looking at Elizabeth. "No Liz, I am the one that told Jason. Sam could have but she told Jason it wasn't her secret to tell and she was right. You really need to do something about the fact that you keep blaming Sam for every screw up you make. I am warning you now Liz, tonight is very important to both Nik and Sam, do not do anything to screw up this night for them."
"Or what?" Elizabeth says almost challenging the detective. She knows being a cop and the father of her children that he would never do anything to hurt her. Nobody knew it but Lucky was actually Jake's father as well, a result of a lab screw up like she had mentioned earlier.
"Or you'll deal with me!" Jason says coldly.
"You'd threaten me for HER?"
"I believe I just did. Fitting don't you think being I once threatened her for you. The difference is I could never have hurt Sam."
"Wait you threatened Sam?" Lucky says angrily.
"Yes after the incident in the park. I was trying to scare her into getting her priorities straight."
"Well it worked, that must have been what caused her to go to Mac. While I don't like the thought of you threatening her I do have to thank you because it caused her to snap out of her spiral. I didn't even know about any of this until after we had broken up. When you told me about what she had done Elizabeth, she was in the middle of her community service at the point."
"I don't understand, how can you protect Sam and threaten me for her."
"Well Elizabeth that's simple … I'm in love with Sam, I always have been and I always will be."
"So she gets both of you? She gets to sleep with Lucky because everyone knows they're having an affair and she gets your heart. She's a murderer and a kidnapper."
"She isn't a murderer, if you remember Diego didn't die when Sam shot him and Maureen kidnapped Jake not Sam. As for Lucky and Sam, according to him they are only friends and I'm thankful that she has such a great friend." Elizabeth waddles out the door angrily leaving both men to worry about where she's headed.
"Do you think we should follow her? Make sure she doesn't attack Sam" Lucky says worried about his best friend.
"I think that's a good idea. I'll call Max and have him tail her while we find Sam and warn her. I didn't like the look in Elizabeth's eyes and you know Sam would never harm a pregnant woman."
"I know and that makes Elizabeth even more dangerous. Sam should be getting to the church so I'll meet you there."
Both men start to head out the door when they are stopped by a teenage boy in jeans and a t-shirt.
"Are you Jason Morgan and Lucky Spencer?" the lanky boy asks.
"Yes I'm Detective Spencer and this is Jason Morgan" Lucky replies. He looks at Jason and then continues "what can we do for you?"
"I was asked to deliver these letters to several people and you two are on my list." The boy hands them the envelopes and is gone before Jason and Lucky can ask any further questions.
"Let's go we can read these on the way I want to get to Sam before Elizabeth does" Jason says sticking his envelope in his leather jacket.
"I agree" Lucky says before heading to the elevator. He just hopes they aren't too late.
Sam finally finished all her errands and picked up a burger, fries and chocolate shake from Kelly's which she ate en route to the church. When she pulls up she's happy to find the florist there setting up the flowers down the pews. She can't get over how beautiful it all looks. Maxie is going to be thrilled as she had her heart set on a church wedding rather than using Nik's home, that was were he had married Emily and naturally Maxie wanted something all her own. She is admiring the flowers when she hears a familiar bitter voice behind her.
"You just couldn't leave well enough alone could you?"
"Elizabeth?"
