It had been little over a month since they found out the news. Today was the day that Sam was officially past her first trimester. She was so excited not just because they could tell people now but because they had made it this far. Today at her checkup Dr. Lee had told her some great news. "I kept this to myself because I wanted to surprise you. But because of your condition, if you were going to miscarry, it would have been in your first trimester. Now that you are officially past that there is a 95 % chance that you will have a normal pregnancy. But I want you to continue doing whatever it is that you are doing. Your blood pressure is perfect and it needs to stay that way." Sam was so over whelmed that it brought her to tears. Now that she knew there was such a good chance that her baby could be born happy and healthy, she could relax a little.
Lucky had worked out great. He and Spinelli got along great and worked well together. Sam had told Spinelli the reason he was working with them now was because he was quitting the force. He had happily agreed and was excited about adding on someone new. Sam and Jason both hated lying to Spinelli but they knew he would be over the moon about the baby so they wanted to make sure they we safe before they told him. Today was the day though. Sam was going to tell her sisters and Jason was going to tell Sonny and Carly. Then they would both tell Spinelli and Maxie together. Sam was on her way to her mom's now. Alexis had been a complete surprise. She had been incredibly supportive and caring of the past few weeks and it really shocked Sam. She got along with Jason better and they even smiled at each other now. It was weird for Sam to have such a good relationship with her mom now because she thought they would never be here. But she was really glad they were.
She pulled into the drive way and got out of the car. As she walked into the house, she saw Krissy sitting on the couch reading a magazine and Molly saw reading a book at the other end of the couch. Alexis was sitting at the table working on paper work. She knew that Sam was coming over today to tell the girls. Thankfully they had never known about Sam's condition so it wouldn't be too much of a shock to them. "Hey." She smiled and came in the house. "Hi, baby." Alexis stood up and smiled. She came over and hugged her. As they pulled away Alexis asked "Are you ready to tell them?" "Tell us what?" Molly asked. Mother and daughter shared a laugh as Alexis guided Sam over to sit on the couch in between her sisters. "Sam has something that she wants to tell you both." Molly put her book down and Kristina her magazine. Sam looked to the both of them and said "You remember how I needed to stay in the hospital for a while a few weeks ago?" Molly nodded. "Yeah, mom said it was because Franco didn't keep you hydrated so you passed out." "Right" Sam said. "But there was a little more to it than that."
"Are you ok?" Kristina asked. Sam smiled at her and said "Yep, I am fine. I am better then fine actually. It turns out another reason I passed out was because I am pregnant." Sam looked at both of their shocked faces. For a moment neither one of them could move. And as if both were on the same wave length they screamed and hugged her. Sam laughed and enjoyed the moment. As did Alexis as she looked on to her 3 beautiful daughters and soon to be grandchild.
Jason walked into the living room of Sonny's house. He had asked Carly to meet him there as well. She was sitting on the couch talking to Sonny when he walked in. "Hey" Carly said when she saw him. She gave him a hug and said "Is everything ok?" He nodded and said "Yeah, there is just something I have to tell the two if you." Sonny stood up and said "Is everything ok with Michael?" Jason shook his head and said "This has nothing to do with Michael. I know the two of you have sensed something off with me for a while and you are right, something is going on." He saw the worried looks come over their face and continued. "When Sam was in the hospital after Franco kidnapped her, we were told something." He took a deep breath and said "Sam is pregnant." He waited for their reaction but all he got was open mouths. Carly was the first to talk which didn't surprise Jason. "Sam is what?" she asked. "Sam is pregnant?"
Sonny finally spoke up is worry for his friend "Franco isn't..?" Jason shook his head. "No he didn't touch Sam in that way. The baby is mine." "But I thought that Sam couldn't get pregnant?" Carly asked. "That is what we thought also. But because she passed out they had to run a bunch of tests on her and one of them was a pregnancy test. We were both shocked and scared. But Dr. Lee was really optimistic and we just got word today that there is an even better chance of Sam carrying to term now that she is officially past the third trimester." "How far along is she?" Sonny asked. "She's 14 weeks." He answered. "We wanted to wait until it was safe to tell everyone. The only ones that knew were our mom's and Lucky." "Lucky?" Carly spoke up. "Why would Lucky get to know before me?" "Because we asked him to cover for Sam at the agency so she wouldn't have to close it down. He was leaving the force so it just fit but we needed to tell him why." Carly was not happy. "So this great thing happens to you and Sam and you tell everyone else before you tell me?" Jason was a little shocked. "That's why you're mad?"
She looked at him like he had two heads. "I figured you would be mad I just thought it would be because Sam and I were having a baby." "No, Jason, I'm so happy for you guys. I know that the only woman you wanted to have a family with was Sam. But it also has me wondering if you have changed you mind about Jake?" she asked a little hopeful. Jason shook his head "It hasn't. Jake is where he belongs, Carly. With his world being turned upside down right now with what is going one with Lucky and Liz I don't want to disturb it anymore. He is happy and healthy with them even though they aren't together. Adding me into the fold would only confuse him more. I hope one day that we can have a relationship but it won't be anytime soon. And as long as Jake is happy, then I am happy." Carly let out a sigh.
"Look, I also need to tell you this." He looked at the both of them. "Things are going to be different from now on. Sam and the baby are going to need to be my priority. I am not going to be able to be away from them for very long from now on. This pregnancy might have a good chance but because of Sam's history there is also still a chance something could happen to her and the baby. So I can't be called out at all hours of the night. I can't drop everything I am doing and come running and I need the two of you to understand that and respect it." He said looking at Carly. She saw the look and dropped her jaw. She looked over at Sonny and saw that he was also looking at her. "Are you two serious right now? Why are you both looking at me?" she said in outrage. "Carly, you have promised me for years that you would respect my boundaries when it comes to Sam and you never do. It didn't bother me before but right now I need you to promise me and mean it."
Carly exhaled and narrowed her eyes. "Fine, I promise." Jason was not convinced. "I mean it, Carly. Sam comes first from now on. Just like Jax comes first for you." Carly couldn't deny that. She had been putting her marriage to Jax first above her friendship with Jason and Sonny and she should not expect Jason to not do the same with Sam. Carly walked over to him and said "I promise." She smiled. "I am really happy for you Jason. And Sam. I know how long she has wanted this." Jason looked at her and saw the she really felt that way. "Thank you." he said. They hugged and Carly said "I need to get going. Jax and I have a meeting with Father Coats about Josslyn's christening next week. I will see you both later." Carly left and Jason turned to Sonny. Sonny smiled at his friend and said "Congratulation, man." They shook hands and Jason smiled. "How is Sam doing?" "You know, the morning sickness hasn't been bad. She does get tired a lot so I am so glad Lucky is helping out. She can get as much rest as she needs. But other than that, it's all good. No weird cravings yet either and hopefully she won't get any." The men laughed.
"I wanted to talk to you about me cutting back on the stuff that I am doing." Jason said seriously. Sonny nodded his head and aid "I know that you won't be able to be around as much and I promise that I will also respect that. Sam needs to be your focus and it shouldn't be any other way. I can have Dominic pick up the rest of the slack. It will be good for him to start having more and more responsibilities if he wants to take over." "You can't do that." a voice said from the door way. Jason and Sonny looked over and saw Michael and Max in the door way. "Michael, we are in the middle of talking business…" "I know. You are talking about having Dominic take over and you can't do it dad." Sonny sighed and said "Michael this is not…" "I am sorry Mr. C but you are going to want to hear this." Sonny was beyond irritated that Max was buying into whatever Michael was saying but Max was loyal so whatever he had to say, Sonny owed it to him to listen. He looked at Jason and Jason nodded his head.
"Alright what is it Michael?" Michael came into the room and said "I went to Kelley's to get something to eat and after I was done I wanted to go to the docks and watch the boats. So Max and I headed down there when we heard voices. As we got closer I recognized Dominic's voice. But he wasn't alone. I peeked around the corner and saw him talking to Mac." Jason and Sonny both went to stone. Jason walked over to his nephew. "What?" "It's true, Jason." Max said. "Dominic was talking to Mac and it was about Claudia, the night she was killed." Jason turned to the man talking and said "Are you sure you heard this right?" "No doubt, sir." He answered. Jason looked at Sonny. Sonny's face twitched and said "We got a rat." Max shook his head and said "I think it's worse than that, Mr. C. I think that Dominic is an undercover cop."
