Six weeks have gone by and today is the day for Sam's ultra sound. Jason and Sam have been spending more and more time getting to know each other. Jason told Sam about his accident and the death of Lila. Sam told him about her child hood, mostly about her brother Danny, and more about Paul. The two have grown close and most people would say that they were a couple.
Sam now had and unmistakable baby bump. Carly had given Sam her old maternity clothes but Sam knew that they wouldn't fit much longer. It seemed like she was getting bigger every day, she was enjoying every minute of it though.
Carly and Sam had become inseparable. They went shopping together for baby things and usually came home with at least a store worth of stuff. Sam and Carly were really similar. Neither on took any shit from anyone and they look out for the people they love. When they are together anybody should think twice before pissing them off. They were lethal, even though Sam was pregnant.
Spinelli and Sam have also been spending time with each other. They have developed a brother-sister type of bond and he loved it. She even came accustomed to him calling her the Goddess, she found it cute.
Jason loved having Sam around. He was smiling and laughing more, he actually liked coming home. He could now read Sam like a book. He knew when she was sad, excited, hiding something. He knew how she walked, how she rambled, and how she glowed when talking about and to her twins. Jason had begun a ritual every night. He and Sam would sit on the couch and she would watch him as he read travel books to her stomach.
"Sam...Come on we are going to be late for your appointment."
"I'm coming, I'm coming...You try getting ready when your back hurts and you have a huge stomach."
"Let's just go Sam. Did you have something to eat?"
"Yes dad. I had some eggs which I later threw up"
"Well I have to stop and see Emily at my parents' house later. We can get you something at Kelly's before we go."
"Wait...you want me to go with you to your family's house?"
"I thought you could meet Emily. You two would get along."
---------------------------
At GH, Sam laid on the table in a paper gown with Jason by her side. They were waiting for Dr. Lee to start the ultrasound. Sam was now almost 17 weeks pregnant and couldn't wait to find out if her twins were boys or girls.
Dr. Lee started the machine, Sam and Jason heard the heartbeats and smiled.
"Well Sam, everything looks good and both babies are in good positions to determine gender. Would you like to know what you are having?"
"Yes...Yes please." Sam was so excited. She had been waiting 6 weeks for this day to come.
Dr. Lee moved the wand around and looked at the screen for a couple of minutes before she spoke.
"Congratulations Sam, it looks like you are having twin girls."
"I bet they are going to be as beautiful as their mother." Jason said before Sam gave him a playful swat in the arm. He kissed her forehead and then they looked back to the doctor.
"I'm going to print out a couple pictures for you to have. You get dressed and I will be right back."
"Thank you Dr. Lee." Sam and Jason both said before the doctor left the room.
Dr. Lee just smiled at the happy couple and went to get the pictures.
------------------------
They arrived at Kelly's and saw Lucky and the boys at a table in the corner. Sam hadn't seen Lucky since he grabbed her at the club and would have been happy if she never saw him again. He reminded her too much of Paul, she was going to keep her distance.
Jason saw how Sam looked at Lucky. He would have been jealous had he not seen the anger in her eyes. Carly had told him about what had happened at the club. He didn't understand how a man could hurt a woman like that.
Carly and the boys entered Kelly's and sat with Sam and Jason.
"So Sam, what's the verdict? Boys or girls?"
"Girls!" Sam said as she pulled the ultrasound pictures from her purse.
"I'm going to spoil you two rotten!" Carly spoke to Sam's stomach while rubbing it with her hand. Sam started to giggle at Carly's actions but she didn't mind. She knew that Carly was going to buy her girls everything on earth. She wouldn't be surprised if they each had a pony by their first birthday.
Jason just watched the interaction. Morgan was cuddled up on Sam's lap and Michael was next to her. They were coloring and making funny faces at each other. Carly was too busy talking to and rubbing Sam's stomach. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to have Sam in his life. He wouldn't trade this day for the world.
-------------------------
Lucky was also watching the group. He couldn't help but feel jealous, she rejected him at the club and now she was with Morgan? He couldn't believe it, Elizabeth had run off and now he watched Sam with Jason. He knew something had to be done, but she was pregnant so he had to be careful as to how to do it.
------------------------
As soon as they entered the mansion Sam regretted even coming. There was yelling coming from a room to their right and she heard something break.
They opened the door to the den and just stared in disbelief at the sight before them. Monica was yelling Tracy, who was screaming and throwing things at Luke. Emily was trying to calm Tracy down, but with no luck.
The group looked at the new comers and stopped what they were doing. Tracy decided to speak first.
"Hello Jason, who's the knocked up whore you are with? Is the baby even yours?"
"Don't you talk about me or my girls like I'm not in the room!!"
"This is my house; I can say whatever I damn well please. Especially if it is the truth."
"Actually this is my house Tracy" Monica was annoyed with Tracy and wasn't afraid to put her in her place.
"You know absolutely nothing about me or my pregnancy, so just keep your comments to yourself."
Tracy got right in Sam's face "What do you want? Jason's money? Well you aren't going..."
She was cut off by a slap in the face. She was shocked; nobody had ever challenged her before. She didn't like it, not at all.
"You know, just because you are pregnant doesn't mean I won't fight back." And with that she drew her hand back getting ready to slap Sam. Before Jason or anyone had a chance to react, Sam caught Tracy's wrist and punched her in the stomach.
"Well, well Jason...It seems like this one will fit right into our little dysfunctional family" Luke said, gaining a respect for the small woman who was able to put his wife in her place.
Jason blushed at Luke's comment. He had only dreamed about marrying Sam, but he knew that they were still getting to know each other. The next comment surprised everyone:
"You know I have to agree with my husband on this. For someone so small, you sure can pack a punch." Tracy directed at Sam while holding her hand out for Sam to shake. Tracy didn't know how it happened but she was forming a respect for this woman.
"Well now that we got Tracy under control, I'm Monica. Jason's mom"
"It's nice to meet you Monica" Sam said and Monica continued
"This is Emily, my daughter and Jason's sister. The one who you just beat up is
Tracy, Jason's Aunt and my sister-in-law. The man next to her is her husband Luke"
Sam nodded at the introductions and then introduced herself "I'm Sam...Sam McCall"
"Well Sam, welcome to our home" Monica said sweetly and gave her a small hug.
--------------------------
"I am so sorry about that Sam." They left the mansion and headed back to the penthouse to have dinner with Spinelli.
"Don't worry about it. Your family is....interesting" Sam said after thinking about it for a moment.
"It's ok Sam, I know they're nuts." This got a laugh out of Sam and Jason looked down at her.
They had stopped walking and were now staring into each other's eyes. Neither one could help it; they just felt this pull towards one another. Before either knew what happened, Jason had Sam in his arms and their lips were joined in a slow, passionate kiss.
Sam's arms made their way around Jason's neck while Jason's made their way around Sam's waist. When they both came up for air, there was a dazed look in their eyes. They were going to share another kiss until they heard Sam's stomach growl.
"I guess it's time to feed the twins" Sam said, still looking up into Jason's eyes.
"I guess so, let's go home and eat" They walked the rest of the way home in silence. It was a comfortable silence though. Each thinking about what would happen next.
Little did they know that Lucky had witnessed their kiss and was clenching his fists in anger.
------------
Just do your thang honey
I could feel it from the start,
Couldn't stand to be apart.
Something about you caught my eye,
Something moved me deep inside!
Sam was now in her 22nd week of her pregnancy. She could not believe how swollen her stomach was at only 5 1/2 months. She could barely see her feet; much less find anything to wear.
Jason had left early that morning to go into the coffee shop and Spinelli had left to meet with Maxie or the Maximista as he called her.
She was in the kitchen making some lunch with the radio on in the living room. Christina Aguilera's song Ain't No Other Man started and she began to dance to the music.
Don't know what you did boy but
You had it and I've been hooked ever since.
I told my mother, my brother, my sister and my friend
I told the others, my lovers, both past and present tense.
Every time I see you everything starts making sense.
She started thinking about Jason and how she felt about him. She thought about their kisses and the look in his eyes. How she was a mess when she first arrived. How she had now had friends and family to lean on. How she had Jason in her life.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't hear Jason walk in.
Just do your thang honey!
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style with your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man its true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
Just do your thang honey!
Never thought I'd be all right. No, no, no!
Till you came and changed my life. Yeah, yeah, yeah!
What was cloudy now is clear! Yeah, yeah!
You're the light that I needed.
You got what I want boy, and I want it!
So keep on givin' it up!
Tell your mother, your brother, your sister, and your friend.
And the others, your lovers, better not be present tense.
Cause I want everyone to know that you are mine and no one else's!
Oooooooo, oh!
He closed the door, put his keys down, and then observed the sight before him. Sam was in the kitchen looking out into space while dancing along to the song on the radio. After he recognized what song it was he smiled. Then he walked up behind Sam, placed his chin on the top of her head, and wrapped his arms around her waist, resting them above the swell of her belly.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
Break it down now!
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other! (other)
Ain't no other, ain't, ain't no other LOVER!
Ain't no other, I, I, I need no other!
Ain't no other man but you!
Ohhhh!
You are there when I'm a mess
Talk me down from every ledge
Give me strength, boy you're the best
You're the only one who's ever passed every test
They stood swaying to the music until Sam stopped and grabbed her stomach with both hands. Jason turned her around:
"Sam, what's wrong? Are the babies o.k.?"Jason asked with pure concern in his voice
Sam just smiled at him and grabbed his hand. She placed it on her stomach and waited. Then she knew that he felt it too because his whole face lit up and he smiled down at her.
Jason leaned down and captured her lips with his. He knew that Sam wasn't ready for anything else, and in her condition she shouldn't push her body. The fact that Sam trusted him enough to kiss her was enough for him.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
(You're the kinda guy, a girl finds oooo yeahh)
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
And now I'm tellin' you, so ain't no other man but you.
Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you
Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do
(what you do).
You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon.
You got soul, you got class.
You got style your bad ass - oh yeah!
Ain't no other man it's true - all right -
Ain't no other man but you.
The song ended just as they parted and sat down to eat what Sam had prepared for lunch, both thankful to have the other in their lives.
----------------
"I can't believe you are making me go back there. The doctor said no stresses...remember? That house has nothing but stress." Sam complained while trying to find something that fit. She was now 8 months pregnant and, according to her doctors, due any day now.
She had been in such a good mood having shared the first movements and all other movements of her twins with Jason. Then he destroyed it by saying that Emily had invited them over to the mansion for dinner. The last time she was there her and Tracy had yet another fight, which Sam won again.
"I know, but will you do it for me? And besides, Monica made Tracy promise to behave. I think she is starting to fear you." He replied as he snaked his arms around expanded waist.
Ever since the kiss after the twins kicked they had been acting like a real couple. They shared stolen kisses as they passed each other in the house, and always walked hand-in-hand when they were out and about. Sam had moved her stuff into Jason's room and they were now decorating her old room as a nursery for the girls.
They still haven't slept together but Jason was ok with that. He was content with just falling asleep with Sam in his arms.
Sam broke out in fit of laughter at Jason's comment and then responded "Fine....but the minute I feel overwhelmed, or Tracy acts up in the least, we leave. Otherwise I can't be held responsible for my actions against her."
"Deal" Is all that Jason said before giving her a quick kiss.
-----------------------------
They made it to the mansion and Jason left Sam in the den with everybody while he went to talk with Emily.
"So my dear, how are you feeling this evening?" Edward asked
"Surprisingly I feel fine...besides by back, that always seems to bother me."
"Do you plan on staying with Jason after the twins are born?" Monica asked this time
"We really haven't discussed it, but I think so."
"Figures" Tracy said under her breath, but Sam heard her.
"Tracy haven't you learned by now to keep your comments to yourself?" Sam said, referring to her previous beatings.
Tracy ignored Sam's response and continued "I don't know why Jason would even want you to stay. I mean they aren't even his kids."
"Biology isn't everything Tracy. You don't see what I see. I see a man who has come with me to every ultra sound and doctor's appointment, a man who has been there for every craving I have and every movement they make. He not only reads to my stomach every night to settle them down, but he talks to them every chance he can get. He has come home with blankets, clothes, and stuff for the nursery. Not because I asked him to pick something up, but because he wanted to. In their minds, their hearts, and in my heart, Jason is their father in every way that matters."
By the time she was finished she was an emotion wreck. Tears were flowing down her face...Damn hormones she thought. She looked around the room to see that everyone, even Tracy was crying. She then felt his arms around her and she could hear that he was holding back tears as well.
------------------------
The only reason why he left her with his family was so he could talk to Emily.
"Are you sure about this Jason? I mean you've only know each other for a little over 6 six months."
"I am positive about this. So, will you help me?"
"Of course Jason, I would be honored."
With that they made their way back to the den where Jason froze in his spot when he heard what Sam was saying. He could not believe it. She thought of him as her twins' father. He was trying to hold back his tears as he walked up behind Sam and turned her around.
"Do you really see me as the father of your girls?"
"Of course I do Jason. I can tell that you love them so much, and they aren't even born yet." Sam let out a chuckle before continuing "They are going to have the most loving father in the world...I love you so much Jason"
"I love you too Sam"
The couple hugged, both trying to hold back tears. The rest of the group didn't have much luck. They all were in awe over what they had just witnessed. They could tell that Sam and Jason really loved each other and they all were going to make sure that Tracy, or anyone for that matter, didn't ruin it
