"So are you ready to go?" asked Jason towards Sam, his blue eyes sparkling underneath the light of the hospital room.

Sam grinned at him before looking down at the sleeping bundle in the car seat that rested against her lap. "I am," she whispered as she looked back up and met his eye. He smiled in return. Both Sam and Lila were being released today and heading home with Jason to the Penthouse.

"Let's go then," spoke Jason as he nodded his head and began to push the back of Sam's wheelchair. A comfortable silence falling between them as they left the hospital room and made their way towards the nurse's station, where paper work had to be filled out.

"All set to go home?" asked Elizabeth, appearing over the edge of the nurse's station down at Sam, smiling kindly at her.

"I believe so," agreed Sam as she looked up at Elizabeth and met her smile. Her eyes then glance down at Lila. Her heart beat raced with excitement as the thought of finally being home with this little creature who had already stolen her heart. It was a nervous excitement but a good nervous. The kind of feeling she got from doing a salvage job, when she had known she had found something golden. Something that would ring in a lot of cash for her.

"Okay, well here is the release form that you need to fill out," continued on Elizabeth as she picked up a clip board and handed it out to Sam. However Jason took it from her before Sam could touch it. A startled look appeared on the nurse's face as she looked up at Jason, confused for a brief second before composing herself and smiling at him.

"Thanks Elizabeth," he murmured a slight smile appearing on his face before wheeling Sam over towards the waiting room.

"What was that all about?" asked Sam up towards Jason as she looked over at him as he took a seat in one of the plastic chairs.

"What?" he asked in confusion towards her, his brows fussed together.

"There was awkwardness between you and that nurse, Elizabeth," mentioned Sam slowly, not sure if she was stepping on danger territory or not. "Did you, guys use to go out or something?"

Jason's blue eyes studied Sam's face for a moment. They were dark with annoyance but that quickly faded as Jason shook his head and looked away. "We did but that was such a long time ago," he spoke with a shrug as he looked back at her.

Sam knew there was more but she knew how Jason was about his life, he didn't like to talk about it. But who ever this Elizabeth woman was, she clearly still had a thing for Jason. Or so Sam thought by the way she had acted when Jason had taken the clipboard from her, surprised by this gesture.

"Okay so what's your full name," asked Jason towards her as he read off the form that needed to be filled out.

"Samantha Lane McCall," replied Sam as her eyes drifted onto the clipboard that lay on Jason's lap. " You know I can fill that out…you don't have too…" her voice trailed off as Jason interrupted her.

"Why do you always have to argue about things?" he teased at her, a spark appearing in his eye. "Just let me do it okay…"

"Okay," replied Sam, rolling her eyes at him. She was biting down on her lower lip, trying to prevent the corner of her lips from turning up into a smile.

"Jason's mean," she pouted down at Lila.

Jason just rolled his eyes at this, sighing a little as he did so.

"WELCOME HOME!" cried Emily and Michael as Sam stepped through the threshold of the Penthouse,Jason following behind her. Both stopped dead in their tracks at the sight before them. "What's all this?" Sam asked her eyes slowly drifting around the room, taking in the sight of the pink balloons and streamers that hung from the ceiling and the banner that said "IT'S A GIRL!", which was tapped to the wall over the fireplace.

"Michael here thought that his little sister needed a big welcome home from her big brother," replied Emily towards Sam with a smile on her face as she wrapped an around the little boy's shoulder. They were standing in front of the fireplace.

"Well that is nice of you Michael," commented Sam as she looked onto the sweet looking face of the red head boy. "I, Thank you and Lila does too!" She gestured to the car seat in her hands. A grin appearing on her face.

"Yeah, that was really thoughtful of you Michael," added Jason, a rare smile appearing on his face as he looked on to the boy that he carried for most in the world; closing the door behind him, he made his way to where Sam stood.

"It was nothing," shrugged Michael, casually as a seven year old could, earning a giggle from Emily and Sam.

"It was very kind of you," replied Sam as she placed the car seat onto the coffee table before taking a step towards the boy and pulling him into a hug.

"I wanted to do it! As a big brother it's my duty to do these things," spoke Michael as him and Sam broke apart and his hazel eyes looked up into hers.

"Where's your mother?" asked Jason towards the boy, suddenly realizing that his mother was not around. Which wasn't really a surprise to him; however Carly wouldn't usually let her son go off with Emily.

"Mom was taking Morgan to get his check up done and LaKeisha has the day off, So I'm spending the day with Auntie Emily, " answered the seven year old boy as he looked up to his uncle who he adored with every fiber of his being.

Just then Lila began to cry from her car seat; kicking her little chicken legs against the blanket that covered her.

"Look like someone wants to say Hi," smiled Emily as she watched as Jason bent down and lifted the infant carefully into the crook of his leather covered arms. The adored look on her brother's face not going un- noticed by her.

"She wants to say Hi to her big brother," added Sam as she looked over at Jason as he quietly rocked Lila back to sleep. "Do you want to hold her?" she asked as she looked on at Michael, who was looking at his little sister. They had yet to meet. Sonny, who had been busy with Kristina, had not brought Michael around to see his new baby sister.

"Really?" asked Michael, his hazel eyes brightening with excitement.

"Of course," added Sam with a smile on her face. "Take a seat on the couch and Jason will hand her over to you."

"Okay," replied Michael with glee as he made his way over to the couch and took a seat. "I' m ready!" He cried looking over at Jason as he took a seat gently down beside Michael.

"Be careful of her head," whispered Jason softly as he gently placed Lila down into the small, yet strong crook of Michael's arms. "Gentle," he added, his blue eyes gazing down on his nephew and this new baby that had already stolen his heart.

"Hi Lila," whispered Michael with a smile as he looked down at his little sister. "I'm your big brother, Michael!" he added proudly.

At hearing Michael's voice, Lila's eyes opened and focused themselves onto her brother's face. Her sight was not fully developed yet but she could still make out light and shapes. Her eyes followed the sound of his voice as he spoke to her.

Sam wrapped her arms around her frame as she watched Michael interact with her daughter. Tears suddenly welding up in her eyes as she listened to the little boy talk about all the things he would teach his sister and how he would protect her and be there for her. Her little girl had so many people who cared for her already, she couldn't believe it. Already Lila, had more then what Sam had had in her life.

"Sam, are you okay?" Asked Jason with concern as he stood up and looked over towards her, his blue eyes blazing with worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine," laughed Sam as she shook her head. "Hormones," added Sam as she looked on at Jason, who was still looking on at her with concern, not convinced as tears still continued to fall down her cheeks.

His blue eyes squinted at her for a second longer before his face broke out into a smile, "If you say so," he teased at her. They held each other's gaze for a second longer before looking away awkwardly.
