Jason, Alexis and Danny got into the plane and headed to Port Charles. The flight was a little over five hours so Jason and Alexis let Danny ask any question about his mother. Alexis told him all that she could because if he went to see her, he might get scared.
"Danny, I know that your mom loves you but right now it is hard for her to say it or anything else. She is trapped in her mind and I hope that you seeing her and your dad seeing her will help her pull out of it. The doctor might not let you see her because he may think that it will be too much for you to handle. You are at an age that it is hard for you to understand what is going on and it can be scary for you."
"Grandma, I can brave. I know my mommy is not feeling good in the head but I hope if she can hear me that she will feel better."
Jason was able to call the hospital that Sam was staying at. It was about an hour from Port Charles. The doctor said that they both could see her but to bring Alexis in case Danny gets scared. There are a lot of scary people there for someone so young. Jason said that the three of them would be there tomorrow.
They got to the airstrip and there was a car waiting to take them to Alexis's house and to the Metro Court. Danny was going to hang with his father and he was so happy. It had been a long time since the two of them had any time alone. There was always something going on and with five sons and a daughter, Jason hardly had any time for his wife, never mind his children. Well, at least one on one time with the children. He always had them in groups together with him.
Alexis thanked Jason for coming to help and also for bringing Danny too. "I bet Carly is going to be happy to see you. Or did you tell her that you were even coming to town?"
"I didn't tell her that I was coming to town. This is not a social visit but a very important personal one. I don't want anyone to know that I am here or for how long. I just need to see Sam and spend some time with my son and then go home."
Alexis laughed at that because they both knew that if Carly knew he was in town then he would be cornered for a little while. She walked into her home and got unpacked.
Jason and Danny made it to the Metro Court. Olivia was on duty and she promised to keep quiet about Jason being in town. Jason used an alias so Carly wouldn't know it was him till he left.
"Just make sure that you say hi to her before you leave. If she finds out that you were here and I knew and didn't tell her, then I will be in big trouble."
"Just give me one day. You can tell her tomorrow afternoon. I am going to check on Sam in the morning and I will see her when I get back."
"Okay. I can give you one day. You just need to stay in your room."
"Dad, do we have to stay locked up all day? Was she joking about that. I thought we were going to Kelly's for dinner."
"We will order it and have someone deliver it here. I have to lie low or people will see me and then they will want to talk to me. I can't deal with anyone right now. I need to see your mom first. Then we will see our friends. Okay."
"Okay, dad! I am so happy that we are here." The two of them got comfortable and started watching movies on the television.
Jason ordered room service for the two of them and then called Liz. "I just needed to hear you voice. We made it safely here today and the three of us are going tomorrow morning. Alexis is going in case Danny gets scared. He should be fine, but you never know. I want you to know that the two of us love you all and that we will be home in a few days. I want to see Michael and Morgan while I am here. I think that it would be a good time to talk to them about moving west."
"You do that. I am sure that Sabrina would love to work here at the clinic and she should bring Felix and Epiphany too. Give Teddy and Michael a hug from us. Also one for Morgan and Kiki. I think that they should move too."
Jason hung up the phone and then went to the door to get their food. Danny fell asleep a few hours later and Jason was just starring up at the ceiling. His only thoughts were to help Sam get better because it would make his son feel better. He knew that when she was released that she would want to have both of her sons back with her but he was afraid of what that would do to Liz. She had her hands full with their three sons and daughter but he knew that Liz loved both Danny and JJ like they were her own.
The next morning, Jason and Danny headed over to pick up Alexis. They had breakfast at Kelly's and then headed to the clinic. It was about an hour to the clinic. The drive was very scenic but it didn't help the nerves that both Alexis and Jason were feeling. Jason was torn about his feelings about Sam. He wanted her to stay far away from his family and if she stayed the way she was then his family would be safe. The problem with that was Jason knew that Danny would be heartbroken if his mother never came out of the clinic.
They got to the clinic and Jason went to talk to the doctor. The doctor was allowing both Danny and Jason to go see her but for only fifteen minutes. There would be someone outside of the room in case Danny got scared or if Sam got upset. Jason understood why they were doing that and agreed to the doctor's rules.
Jason walked in and saw Sam rocking in her chair looking out the window. Danny saw her and thought she was doing better. Jason looked at Danny so he knew to be quiet before facing his mother.
"Mom, I am here from California. I have been living with dad in Napa Valley in a villa. JJ and I have our own room and we are close to where dad sleeps. I have a new sister named Lila and we have horses and ponies on the property. Dad and the guys went to get them last week. We had some much fun and we got to pick our own horses. Well I have a pony for now but that is until I am a bit bigger and can ride one of the larger horses."
Sam looked at Danny and it was like she wanted to say something. She looked sad and Danny thought that he might have hurt her feelings. He got a bit jumpy and Jason went over to Danny and held him. Danny cried a few tears and then went over to his mother.
"I have a secret for you mom. I love you and so does JJ. I tell him all about you every day. We have a good life in California but we need you too. Please mom, I need to hear you say you love me too."
Sam looked straight ahead like she didn't even know Danny was there. Then Jason spoke to her. "Sam, I want you to hear me. Danny and JJ are great sons. You would be amazed at how good Danny is doing in school. JJ is now walking and getting into everything. Your mother is here too and your sisters miss you a lot. I need you to try to come back for them. Danny needs to know that his mother is okay and that she will be able to see him soon out of here."
Sam moved her head and looked right at Danny and Jason. She tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out. The only thing that she could do was scream. Danny got scared and Jason took him to Alexis. The doctor was very impressed that Jason and Danny got her to do anything. Even though the scream was scary, it was something.
Jason went back into her room. "Sam, I know that you are trying. Danny got scared but that is because he thought that he hurt you or your feelings. I will explain that you were trying to speak to him but that was all that came out. You just have to try to get better. You have a lot of people who want you better. Our sons need you."
Jason went to leave and Sam grabbed him. "No!"
The doctors came in to check on her and they were amazed to see the change in her from Jason and Danny being there. "Alexis was right. She needed to see both you and Danny. I hope that she comes all the way out but she might revert back to you being in love with her and that you did this all because you still love her."
"I have been very honest with Sam about my love for my wife. She doesn't understand that but it is not my problem. I want her to get better for our two sons. Danny and JJ need her and that is the reason why I came here."
"Jason, come back here. I need you to take me home to our boys."
The look on her face was desperation. She wanted her old life back but it was gone. She didn't realize it but deep down, she knew that her life had changed and she needed it back.
Alexis and Danny came running when they heard her. Danny ran to his mother but she didn't recognize him. She thought that he was her baby and not her son already in school.
Alexis and Jason saw the look and realized that Sam thought that Danny was a baby. Jason needed to speak to her alone so Danny would not get upset.
"Okay, Sam! We have two sons. Danny is our oldest and he is five. JJ is our baby and he is one. You have been at this clinic for the past year and for a while you weren't speaking so your mother asked if we could see you. I don't want our son upset. He missed you so much and he needed to see that you were getting better. He is happy in California except for not seeing you. JJ is getting bigger every day. He walks now and is driving the nannies crazy."
"You have nannies. Why do you need nannies?"
"Liz and I have very crazy schedules. The hotel is up and running so Liz is now doing weddings. She still teaches the kids during the school year and she does interior design. I have the winery, and the vineyards to take care of and we have JJ and Lila that need constant care."
"You have a daughter named Lila? How could you. We had a daughter named Lila. How can you replace our daughter like that?"
"Lila was your baby with Sonny. She was not my baby with you. I took care of you to keep you away from Carly. You know that. I was there when you had her but she was not mine."
Sam then shut herself down again. She went to the window and started starring out of it again.
Alexis and the doctors saw the whole thing and heard what Jason and Sam were saying to each other. The doctors were beginning to think that Sam had staged the shutdown and because she didn't get what she wanted that she closed herself off again.
"Mr. Morgan, thank you for all that you have done. I think that she may have faked this so that you would come to her rescue. Now that she knows nothing has changed maybe she will decide that she needs to get on with her own life. I hope she does anyway."
Alexis, Danny and Jason said goodbye to Sam but she never looked at them. Danny was very upset about the whole thing and just wanted to leave. Alexis was broken up about it because she knew the doctor and Jason were right. She was just doing this to get at Jason. No one else mattered and because she couldn't get him the way she wanted, she just shut herself down again.
"Daddy, can we go home to California tonight. I don't want to stay anymore. I know that you want to see some people but maybe we can see them at the restaurant and then leave or we can leave early tomorrow morning. I don't ever want to see my mom again. She doesn't love me; she just wants you."
Danny was so heartbroken and it hit Jason and Alexis hard too. "Danny, I know your mom loves you. She did want your dad's attention but I know she loves and adores both you and JJ. She was doing this for your father but your father didn't want to play her game. She truly doesn't realize what she was doing. That is the reason why she is in the clinic. I hope someday, you can forgive her for doing this to you."
"Grandma, I love you and I love my mom but I want to go home and see my brothers, Lila and Lizzie. She will make me feel better. She knows how much I love my mom but that doesn't stop her from loving me. Why does she want daddy to choose her and forget everyone else? I don't think that is right."
"Danny, we will go home tomorrow and I will make the calls now so they can meet us at the Metro Court. Alexis, do you want to come back with us or are you going to see if she comes back out of it. I think that she might be stubborn and wait a while."
"I think that I will come back with you. I am going to put my home up for sale and have the one in Napa, built a little bit bigger. I just need a little more room."
Jason made his phone calls and they were going to meet in the main restaurant for dinner. Carly was a little hurt that Jason had come back to Port Charles and was going to see her only on his way back home.
The dinner went smoother than Jason thought it would. Morgan and Kiki were engaged to be married and decided that they would get married in Napa. Michael and Sabrina were taking Teddy and making the trek out west. Sabrina was pregnant again and this time with Michael's baby. Felix and Epiphany had also decided to make the move to Napa but they were staying in Port Charles for the next two months till their homes were finished.
There was now, plenty of doctors and nurses on staff for the clinic. Patrick and Robin loved their life out there and so did Monica. She wished that Tracy would come to visit but she said she never had time to do that.
Carly was happy for everyone and Jason surprised her by asking her to come see the place. You need to see where your eldest is going to be living and also where your youngest son will be getting married. There is plenty of room on the plane for you to come and there is plenty of room at the villa or you can stay in the hotel. It is up to you.
Danny was quiet but Alexis knew it was because of his mother. "Jason, I will take Danny upstairs and get him ready for bed. You stay down here and chat with everyone. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow. Good night all!"
Everyone said good night to Alexis and Danny.
Jason told them when everyone could meet him at the airstrip the next morning. They were leaving after breakfast at Kelly's. The plane was taking off at nine. If you want to come, be ready.
