"I can't do this anymore." Elizabeth said, grimacing in pain. "Please, Sam!"

"I won't do it." Sam told her.

"You have to!"

"I can't take away Jake's mother!" a gunshot rang out and Elizabeth fell on the ground.

"You're a murdered!" a voice yelled.

"Sam, you killed her."

"It's your fault she's dead."

"Why did you kill Jake's mother?"

"Why would you do that, Sam?"

"Sam…Sam…Sam…Sam…Sam…Sam…"

"No!" Sam screamed, sitting up in bed. She was sweating and breathing heavily. Glancing at the clock, she saw that it was only 3 in the morning. She brought a hand to her arm, feeling a sharp pain from sitting up so fast.

"Are you okay?" Jason asked. He had been awake for almost 10 minutes. Sam was tossing and turning and she had started screaming. "You were screaming?"

"I was?" she looked over at the kids and saw they were fast asleep. She moved from under the blankets and layed on top of them instead.

"What were you dreaming about?"

"Elizabeth." She said, turning so she wasn't facing him.

"It's not your fault, Sam." Lila began to move and Sam quickly ran her hand up and down her daughter's back. She was glad for the interruption. She hated talking about that night with Jason.

"Let's go back to sleep." She told him.

"Okay." He moved to put his arms around her, but she stopped him. He was surprised; they had slept like that every night for as long as they had been together.

"Please, don't touch me, Jason." He sighed and kept his hands away from her.

Sam woke up at 9:30. She was alone sort of glad about it. She needed time to think. She climbed out of bed and got in the shower.

As she stood under the water, Sam closed her eyes. She had been feeling guilty for 3 years. She didn't know what had happened on that night with Elizabeth. She would wake up screaming from nightmares about the two of them sitting together.

After she finished with her shower, the brunette got dressed and went downstairs.

"Hey." Jason said, smiling at her. She smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. He stayed on the other side of the kitchen, which she was glad for. Sam didn't know why, but she felt like she needed space.

"Mommy!" Lila yelled, running and hugging Sam. She suddenly felt like she was suffocating, even though the 3 year old was only hugging her legs.

Jason noticed her discomfort and picked up their daughter. He shot Sam a curious glance and saw that she looked like she was going to be sick.

"You okay, Sam?" she just nodded her head. He put food on two plates and set them in front of Lila and Jake at the kitchen table.

"I have to get out of here." She said suddenly, running towards the door. Jason ran after her, stopping her right before she opened it. He put his hands on her shoulders. "Don't touch me!" she yelled.

"Sam, what is going on?"

"Please Jason. Just let me go." She begged, starting to cry.

"Where are you going? You're pregnant, Sam. You can't just up and leave."

"I have to go. I have to." She told him. He sighed and moved out of the way of the door.

"I love you." She ignored him and kept going.
