Okay so, in what situation in what universe would you get just the Scorpio/Drake, Davis/Cassidine, Corinthos, Quartermaine, and Spencer families all under one roof to enjoy a meal? Welp, it was all in my head, so I decided to share it with you all. Here's part 1.
"Are you sure you want to go to this thing?"
Sam looked over Jason's usual attire, black shirt and dark jeans.
"I know I don't want to go. But I know you do, so it's fine."
"Are you sure?"
"You don't have to keep asking me that. We're going."
"Okay, but don't say that I didn't give you a chance," Sam said as she turned around to face the full-length mirror. She tried to adjust her billowy shirt to hide her expanding belly.
Jason walked over to his fiancée and put his arms around her from behind, resting his hands on her stomach.
"I don't think you have to hide it anymore," he said in her ear.
"I'm not hiding. I told you, I just—"
"I know. You just want to wait until you're further along before we start telling people. Well, more people."
"Hey, that thing with Maxie and Abby was an accident. It just came out. Besides, they're not going to tell anyone."
Jason sighed as he softly lifted her shirt to reveal her slightly swollen belly. She was only just over four months along, but on her tiny frame, just like before, her body had already started to change.
He gently stroked his hands over her stomach, as he did every night since she told him. Sam placed her hand over his and intertwined their fingers. Her eyes started to well as she watched the three of them in the mirror. One day, hopefully, she thought, I'll have my family.
"Why am I going to this thing again?"
Maxie huffed over the phone. "For heaven's sake, Lucky. I don't understand what all the hesitancy is for. Practically all of your family is going to be there. Besides, I need you for moral support."
"But Sam's going to be there. I thought you guys were baby buddies?"
"Not funny. Besides, tonight is extremely important." Maxie took a deep breath. "I'm going to tell him tonight."
She waited for Lucky's response. The downside to talking to him over the phone was that she couldn't see his face; she could usually tell what he was thinking by watching his very telling expressions.
"Wow," he finally said. "That's...big. Why tonight?"
"Honestly? Because you're going to be there. And if anything goes absolutely wrong, I can always divert the attention to Sam."
"I'm sure that won't be necessary," he chuckled. "Really Maxie, everything's going to be fine. So I guess I'll meet you and Lulu there in about twenty minutes?"
"Yeah. Um, are you bringing Elizabeth?"
"Yes...why?"
"No reason. I mean, I know I said that you should be happy to invite whoever you wanted, but it just occurred to me that since pretty much everyone she knows is going to be there tonight, you might do something stupid like invite her."
"Look Maxie, if you don't want me to come—"
"No, no. I just thought it might be refreshing for you to have an actual date. Just come as you were, ex and all."
"Bye Maxie."
"Is this okay?"
Abby twirled in front of Michael self-consciously.
"It's amazing."
"You said that about the last one."
Michael sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. This had to be the twentieth outfit Abby had tried on.
"Abby, this is ridiculous. You look perfect, no matter what you wear." He stood from the couch and made his way over to her. "Or don't wear." He softly kissed her lips. "You're beautiful," he said as he gave her another peck.
"Michael..."
"I know, I know. We're going to be late." This was his third attempt to be intimate with his girlfriend tonight, and each time she had insisted that they wouldn't have the time. Although, they would have if she hadn't been so concerned about what she was wearing.
"I don't know why you're having a hard time making this one decision. You don't have to impress anyone."
"Except I do."
"What are you talking about? My mom?"
"Your mom, your dad, your sister and brothers, your grandmother, Edward. Everyone!"
"You know what? Just forget about them. Tonight is just about going out and having a good time."
"With you entire family."
"They'll love you."
"Maybe not so much when they find out you knocked me up."
"Hey, don't say it like that. Like it's something that just happened. They will love you, and our child."
"I hope so."
