Chapter 7
"Coleman put down the gun" Mac yells still trying to figure out why Coleman is pointing a gun at Jason.
"No can do Mac sorry" Coleman says before turning his attention back to Jason. "Ya know Morgan I have known both you and Sammy a long time and I watched her go through all the shit you, Spencer, her mom and of course let's not forget Nurse Knock Me Up, have put her through and yet she's still standing. You know why Morgan, because she's a survivor. Nobody deserves everything all of you put her through but still she took it because she felt she deserved it. Well I for one am thankful she has her two brothers looking out for her because it's obvious to me that nobody else gave a shit."
"Coleman thank you" Sam says walking over to the scruffy man she has come to rely on as a friend and confident. "It's ok, I'm fine now. I love that you want to protect me but it's really not necessary" she finishes and lays her hand on his arm causing him to lower the gun which she takes from him and tucks in her jeans along her back.
"When did you and Coleman become so chummy" Alexis says with disdain in her voice.
"That's none of your damn business 'mother'. Just so all of you know, yes Jason threatened me but I deserved it."
"Sam!"
"No Jason I need to do this and it's time everyone knows the truth."
"You're right it's time."
"Jason no" Elizabeth shrieks knowing that her house of lies is starting to come down.
"Elizabeth it's gone on long enough, it's time everyone knows the truth. Go on Sam."
"Only a few people know what I'm about to tell you and I'm only going to say it once so listen closely. I know you all remember the blackout and know that I slept with Ric that night and Jason slept with Elizabeth and she turned up pregnant. Elizabeth took a paternity test because she wasn't sure if the baby's father was Lucky or Jason."
"We know this Sam, Lucky turned out to be the baby's father" Alexis says getting annoyed.
"Wrong as usual 'Mother' Elizabeth told everyone that Lucky was the father but while she and Jason were stuck in the elevator that night at the Metro Court she told Jason that he was the baby's father."
"What?" Robin gasped "Elizabeth how could you lie all those months. I remember when you had the paternity test done. You knew all that time and didn't say a word to Lucky or Jason? Sorry Sam please continue."
"Thanks Robin. I know this is a shock to a lot of you because it sure was to me when I was finally told. You see Elizabeth decided she didn't feel that Lucky or I should know and somehow convinced Jason to lie to me and of course she didn't tell Lucky either."
"When did you find out Sam?" Mac asks worried for the young woman he had come to care for.
"I found by accident the day Jake was born. I came in to congratulate her and heard her thanking Jason for giving up his son so she and Lucky could raise him. I was completely devastated, Jason and I had always been honest with each other. Even when we both slept with other people we told each other all about it. There I was finding out that the man I loved had been lying to me for months. So I snuck away and figured I'd wait and see if Jason would tell me himself but he never did. Not long after that I found myself in the park and there was Elizabeth, Jake and Cameron out for a little family time. I was just standing there and I couldn't believe that she had convinced Jason to not only to give up his son but to lie to everyone he loved about it. Elizabeth turned her back to deal with Cameron and all of sudden Maureen snuck up behind and grabbed Jake. I just stood there and I didn't say a word."
"You bitch you let that woman take my son. Don't even try to defend your actions."
"I wasn't planning on it Elizabeth. My actions were inexcusable and I won't try to justify them to you or anyone else. All I can say is that I have to live with that for the rest of my life and that more punishment than you or Jason could ever inflict on me. As you all know Jake was found safe and sound, I honestly believe Maureen would never have hurt him. She had just lost her own baby and was grieving, I get that I really do, she just wanted another baby to love. Once Jason was sent to prison I visited him and contrary to what some people want to believe, I broke up with him."
"Because you were jealous" Elizabeth says with a sneer.
"No because I got tired of everyone coming before me. I knew Sonny, Carly and the boys came first and I accepted that because they are his family. It was when everyone else started coming before our relationship that I decided enough was enough."
"What was said that day, I want to know?" Elizabeth whines.
"What was said that day is between Jason and I and nobody else. If you want to know then you'll have to ask Jason because I'm not telling you shit you brownie baking twit."
"You bitch!"
"Like I told you before … thank you, that's a name I wear with pride" Sam says causing both Carly and Maxie to burst into laughter.
"Amen sister" they shout out simultaneously causing Sam to chuckle herself.
"So let's fast forward a bit shall we. It amazed me that now that Jason and I were no longer together that he still hadn't claimed his son but then I found out why. Elizabeth was scared that his life was too dangerous for them to have a public relationship. I was still in a very bad place so I figured I'd help her along" Sam whispers looking at Lucky who nods giving her the encouragement she needed. "I hired two men who had a bit part on my show to scare Elizabeth and the boys were in the park. They came up to her and pointed two guns at her and it was meant as a warning for Jason. Then I came in for the apparent 'save' and scared them off. . Elizabeth went straight to Jason as she always does. That night when I got back to my apartment I had a visitor. Jason had broke into my apartment to 'talk' with me but screaming is more like it. We went back and forth until finally Jason said he would kill me if I came near Saint Elizabeth and her boys again."
"Sam how could you, they could have been hurt. What if the gun had gone off accidentally?" Mac whispers in disappointment.
"Actually they never were in any danger."
"What!" Elizabeth shrieks.
"It's quite simple Elizabeth, no shots would have ever come from those guns."
"Sam?" Jason says his voice strained. "Are you saying that the guns they carried weren't loaded?"
"That's right Jason, Elizabeth and the boys were never in any danger. I got my point across though that your life was too dangerous for her and her boys. Elizabeth went straight to you like as she always does. But that's not what has you upset at this moment is it?"
"She asked you a question Morgan" Ric says coldly "please be so kind as to answer my sister. What has you so upset?"
"I threatened Sam because I thought Elizabeth and the boys were in danger. I thought she had put them in harms way."
"So your threat was for nothing Morgan is that what you're saying?"
"Yes"
"That's not true Jason. I want to thank you for threatening my life. I know that's not something you'd think I'd say but that started me onto the path that eventually brought me out of the downward spiral I was in."
"Sam you went from threatening me and my boys to sleeping with my husband. How was that stopping your behavior?"
"I'll be happy to explain Elizabeth. I was so angry when Jason left but there was someone there that helped pick up the pieces of my life and that was Lucky. I was so angry at that time that I didn't see what an amazing man he was. I figured I'd get one last shot in on you and Jason by sleeping with Lucky. I knew it would get to you which in return would hurt Jason. However what started out as a revenge plot turned into one of the best things in my life, I met my best friend and a love that nobody can take away from me no matter what."
"Really because if I remember when I told Lucky the truth he dumped you like a bad habit."
"Yes Lucky did break up with me and wasn't there when I needed him that night when Diego attacked me but you know Elizabeth something unexpected happened, we found our way back to each other and as you know from that point the only person putting your children in danger was you. It was your incessant need to be with Lucky that drew the Russians attention to you and how they knew that kidnapping Jake would get his attention. They didn't know Jake was his son but they knew the two of you were close and that was good enough."
"I saved your life that night" Elizabeth defends.
"Yes and I'm thankful but if you had listened when I told you to stay down then Jake may never have been taken in the first place. However what matters is we got him back and brought him home safe and sound."
"Thanks to you Sam" Jason whispers "he would have died if you hadn't been there."
"Like I told you Jason, I owed Jake and I owed you and Elizabeth."
"And like I told you, that's done now. You owe us nothing Sam."
"Ummm ok where was I? Oh that's right, Lucky and I were still going strong while you and Jason had fallen apart so anyone that thought I had something to do with their breakup is dead wrong. However somewhere along the way our feelings changed. I will always love Lucky and nobody can change that."
"Really because he left you for me kind of like Jason did."
"Actually I was the one that told Lucky it was over much like I did Jason. I knew he had unresolved feelings for you and surprisingly enough it didn't bother me which is how I knew it was over even before he did. He didn't even realize he was still in love with you and wanting to give it another chance. Bet you're regretting that now huh buddy" Sam finishes with a chuckle.
"No comment Sam" Lucky says with a grin causing several people in the room to chuckle.
"I knew I wanted something more, something was missing in my life. That something was the danger and excitement that kept me wanting more. It's why I decided to become a PI and I've never regretted it not once. I have the best partner in the world, Spinelli I am honored to call you my friend and partner."
"Thank you Fair Samantha, the honor is all mine."
"Well now you know all the secrets maybe be can find out why we are all here" Sam says and starts to head back to her chair.
"That's not true Sam?"
"What do you mean Ric?"
"There's still one more secret that has not been revealed yet."
"But Ric I've told everyone what I did to cause Jason to threaten me."
"Oh but my sister this isn't your secret which is why you can not reveal it."
"Castillo you're talking in riddles man" Luke says losing his normally cool composure. "Just spit it out man."
"Why don't you ask your former daughter-in-law as it's her secret."
"Elizabeth what is he talking about?"
"I don't know Luke but I'm done here."
"Oh no princess you aren't goin anywhere?" Carly says blocking her path. "If you have a secret I sure want to know it and I'd bet I'm not the only one."
"I have nothing to say to you Carly or anyone else here."
"Let me ask you a question Ms. Webber? What are you going to tell young Jake when he asks you who is real father is?"
"I will tell him the truth that while Lucky is his daddy that Jason is his biological father."
"So you plan on lying to him just like you lie to everyone else?"
"What do you mean Ric? I just told you that Jason is Jake Spencer's father."
"Sam I know what you told me but I also know that's a lie. Jason Morgan is NOT young Jake's father."
"If I'm not Jake's father than who is?"
"Ms. Spencer?"
"I uhhhh don't know it could only be you or Lucky."
"Are you sure about that Elizabeth?"
All heads turn around to find Jerry Jacks standing there with a grin on his face holding a piece of paper in his hands.
"Jerry what are you doing here" Jax asks surprised to see his older brother standing in front of him alive.
"Let's just say Sweet Sam's brother have been most persuasive in convincing me to quit tormenting their sister so I've decided to torment her tormenter instead."
"That would be who exactly" Lucky says afraid he already knows.
"Oh come now Detective Spencer you are a better cop than that. Everyone in this room knows that the only person that tormented Sweet Sam more than myself was Ms. Webber, although I do like Mr. Coleman's name for her, Nurse Knock Me Up was it?"
"So you hold something over Elizabeth?" Jason says clenching his teeth. He can't help but think of everything that Jerry has put his family through.
"Relax Mr. Morgan I'm done playing the bad guy. Being on the good side is so much more shall we say profitable?"
"So we're expected to believe you've reformed your ways?" Carly says glaring at her brother-in-law.
"You can believe what you like my dear Carly. Fact of the matter is that the Castillo brothers have helped me see the light. They know a great deal about me that could hurt me so I'm going to be a good boy now, well at least where Sweet Sam is concerned."
"Mr. Jacks were you able to retrieve the document?" Ric asks causing several people to turn their heads in his direction.
"Yes Mr. Castillo but I've done better than that, I even brought a special guest."
"First things first, Elizabeth are you ready to tell the truth or should I do it for you?"
"I don't know what you are talking about" Elizabeth says a little too quickly.
"Very well Ms. Webber as you wish. Cruz I believe you have experience reading paternity results so would you do the honor?"
"It would be my pleasure" Cruz says before rising from his seat beside Sam and heading towards his brother.
"Now remember Ms. Webber you had your chance to do this yourself" Ric says before turning the microphone over to his brother.
"First I will start with Jason's sample which he provided. Sample 5703710 is excluded as the biological father. Jason you are not Jake Spencer's father. I'm not sure whether to say I'm sorry or Congratulations" he says with a smile towards his sister.
"Thank you Mr. Castillo" Jason says in shock.
"Please call me Cruz. Secondly was Lucky's sample which was obtained from his DNA on file at General Hospital. Sample 5814617 is excluded as the biological father. Relax Detective Spencer you only have one biological child with that woman."
"Wait if it wasn't Jason and it wasn't Lucky then who is Jake's father" Carly is the first to ask.
"I am!"
Everyone turns to the back of the room to see a man none of them expected to see tonight.
Sorry gang I had to do it, ya know how I love my cliffhangers. Runssssssssssss
