-------------------------------------------6 Months Later--------------------------------------------
Sam smiled at her sisters as they played in the park. Her smile got wider as she felt Lucky put his arm around her shoulders. Turning to him, she said, "Lucky, I am so glad to be out of the hospital. I can't believe that Trevor Lansing was the one who was causing all those problems in Port Charles. At least that bastard can rot in jail for a while now. My family is safe!" Sam laughed as she hugged Lucky, and laughed harder when Kristina and Molly decided to join in. Sitting on a blanket next to Alexis, Sam and Lucky felt happy. Nikolas and Emily were playing with Spencer on a swing nearby, and everything was fine until Elizabeth and Jason showed up, with Cameron and Jake.
Sam felt Lucky tense, then get up as Cam ran toward him. She smiled as he swung Cam up into a hug, causing the little boy to shriek with laughter. She caught Elizabeth's eye, and waved her and Jason over.
"Hey, guys, I have been meaning to talk to you. I just wanted to say that I am glad everything, and everyone, is safe now. And I wanted you guys to know that I am glad I said what I did to you a few months back, because if that shot had been fatal, I would have regretted that I never got the chance to apologize. I am…well…it's…nice to see that you guys are able to be happy together without a threat to your lives, or the kids'."
Jason smiled, his beautiful blue eyes lit up with the happiness he felt whenever he saw his little family. He looked at Sam, and grabbed her hand. Pulling her into a hug, he felt her stiffen in surprise. "Sam, I am glad you said what you did when you did as well. You are…always surprising me I guess."
Lucky approached, with Cameron alongside him. He was surprised to see Jason hug Sam, and even more surprised to see Sam hug him back, and then hug Elizabeth. He knew things would never be the same, but he knew they were at least back to normal. And he was finally moving on with a woman he knew he would come to love very deeply, more so than he did even now.
Sam turned and walked towards Lucky. She watched as Cam scampered off towards his mother and stepfather, and walked towards the man she loved. Grabbing hold of Lucky's hand, she tugged him toward her. "Come on, Lucky. Let's go for a walk. And then…come back here and play with these gorgeous kids!"
----------------------------------Later that Day-------------------------------------
Samantha McCall knew she had made mistakes. But she also knew she had finally owned up to them, and had repaired relationships she thought were lost forever. Her life was not perfect, but she was happy. She had a great family, a wonderful guy who loved her and who she loved, and was forming great friendships with people she never expected. So yes, she had made mistakes. But who hadn't? She was just glad to know she could finally move forward with her life.
Staring out into the water, she leaned against the railing on the docks. She sighed, and then smiled. The only thing missing was a child. But…well, there was always a chance. She would have to go see Dr. Lee tomorrow to explore her options. She may not be able to have one in her own body, but she knew she would be a great mother. Someday.
