Here's the Maxie/Spinelli/Jason reunion along with a little Georgie and Danny :)
Sam had to hold back a chuckle at Maxie and Spinelli's shocked expressions. Both their jaws were dropped and they blinked rapidly, as if trying to convince themselves he wasn't there. If they were that surprised, though, she could only wonder how shocked she had looked. She looked away from the couple standing in the doorway and back at Jason, who looked equally amused by the expressions on his friends' faces.
"Spinelli... Maxie..." she said, but neither spoke. "Wow! Maxie, speechless. That's a first" she teased her best friend, finally getting a reaction. Maxie leaned over and playfully slapped her arm. "Oh good. They're alive. Or at least Maxie is" teased Sam once again.
"Sam?" said Maxie, her expression turning serious once again. "Is he really alive?" Sam nodded and Maxie's jaw dropped once again. That time, she couldn't hold back a chuckle.
Maxie rolled her eyes at Sam's laugh before turning to Jason, who was looking at Spinelli. Spinelli remained frozen in shock. Geez, thought Sam. He looks more surprised than I was. Maxie turned to him and tapped his shoulder.
"Spinelli?" she asked. When he didn't reply, she grabbed his arm arm practically dragged him into the house. Sam laughed and followed, motioning for Jason to follow. He did. "Spinelli! Stop acting like you saw a ghost and welcome our guests" Maxie scolded Spinelli as Sam and Jason walked into the room. Sam looked at him and noted the overwhelmed look on his face. She felt bad. As much as it was overwhelming for her to see him in ten years, he was seeing everyone in Port Charles for the first time in ten years. She looked back at Spinelli, who remained frozen. Maxie looked at her and rolled her eyes at her husband. "We'll be right back" she said, dragging her husband out of the room and into what Sam knew was the kitchen.
When they were gone, Sam turned to Jason. He, the man who showed no nerves, looked more overwhelmed than she had ever seen him.
"Hey, you okay?" she asked. His face was blank and he stared into space, where Spinelli had just been. He looked down at her and nodded, the tips of his mouth curling into a slight smile.
"I fought to come back here for ten years to see everyone, mostly you and Danny, but I missed everyone" he said.
"Even Maxie?" she asked, a sweet and amused smile on her face.
"Honestly... even Maxie" he admitted. "It's just... it's weird to see all you guys after so long. I missed you guys so much, but I missed so much" he explained. "I mean, Spinelli and Maxie have a kid together. When I left, they were broken up" She nodded. She would never understand how he felt, but could try to support him.
"It'll be okay, Jason" he said, placing a supporting hand on his shoulder.
The moment was ruined when Georgie and Danny came running into the room. Georgie, the carbon copy of her mother, came in stomping her feet and Danny came running after her.
"Danny! People don't come back from heaven! It's impos..." the young spitfire trailed when she saw Sam sitting on the couch with the man she had seen in pictures of Danny as a baby. Sure enough, it was his dad. "Danny?" she asked, shying away and turning to her friend.
"I told you!" said Danny, looking from his friend to his parents then back to Georgie. "He came back to see me and my mom" added the young boy proudly.
"Wow! He must really love you" said Georgie, looking back at Sam and Jason. "Dad?!" she called.
Instantly, Spinelli came into the room and went straight to his daughter. Maxie followed but stopped at the couch.
"Yes, Precious?" he asked his daughter. Georgie flashed her perfectly straight, pearly white smile. She loved that nickname.
"Would you come back from heaven for me and mommy?" she asked and Sam had to hold back a laugh. Georgie was a bright girl, but clearly she hadn't pieced together that Jason had never really gone to heaven.
"Georgie?" she called out to the girl who was like a niece to her. "Can you come here, sweetie?" She nodded and went to stand next to Sam.
"What, Sam?" she asked, her blue-grey eyes shining with curiosity.
"Well, you see, Georgie, what happened to Danny's dad, Jason here" she tapped Jason thigh softly. "is a little more complicated. Jason never actually went to heaven" she tried to explain so the young girl would understand. As she explained, Maxie had taken a seat, Spinelli sat next to her and Danny had gone to stand next to his father. "Someone bad made us think Jason had gone to heaven when he didn't. Then, they got mad at Jason so they put him in a long time-out and he only got out of it a couple days ago" she continued as Maxie and Spinelli looked on, shocked. They, obviously, knew what Sam meant by 'time-out' better than their nine-year-old daughter.
"So Danny's dad came back from his time-out, not heaven?" she asked. Sam nodded. "That makes more sense" she said happily. She skipped towards Danny and grabbed his hand. "Come on, let's go back and play" she said, skipping away towards the playroom, but not without looking over her shoulder and calling out to Jason. "Welcome back, Stone Cold" As soon as she was gone, Maxie and Sam burst out laughing.
Once they were able to control their laughter, the conversation turned extremely serious. Spinelli remained staring at Jason, clearly curious.
"Stone Cold was imprisoned all this time?" he asked. Jason thought he had started speaking English, clearly he had returned to Spinelli lingo. He simply nodded in response. "But... How? The officers of the law claimed that it was guaranteed you had passed away" said Spinelli, in awe of Jason's survival. Sam swallowed hard at the painful reminder of the day that her friend, detective John McBain, had told her that Jason was gone, that her denial needed to end.
"Well, I was scooped up by a boat, I guess, 'cause I woke up on one. The people there didn't speak English. I think they spoke Spanish" he said honestly. As much as he believed the people in that strange city, and jail, were pretending to not speak any English, the people on the boat all spoke the same language that he could make out some words of. All but the captain, or well, the replacement captain. He was pretty sure the first one had been killed. "We arrived in this town, after months on the boat, and no one spoke English there. Then, they put me in jail for false murder charges, and only ten years later did an English speaking man show up" he finished.
Spinelli and Maxie were staring at him, speechless in surprise. Sam didn't even want to imagine her face when he had told her the story. She also couldn't help but wonder what Jason's face would look like when she told him the most prominent events of the last ten years, when he met the people he left as kids, like Molly.
"Wow! Jason... You went through so much and... survived and... came back" said Maxie. Jason nodded and looked over at where his son had disappeared to, and then down at his wife.
"I had a lot to live for" he said softly. She smiled shyly and looked down, trying to hide the blush growing on her cheeks.
"Aww... Sam!" said Maxie, causing her friend to blush more. She then looked up at Jason. "Do you mind if I steal her for a moment?" she asked. Jason shook his head. Instantly, Maxie grabbed Sam's arm and dragged her into the halfway, where you could hear them going up the stairs.
Maxie led Sam into the surprisingly clean master bedroom. She sat down on the bed's plum purple comforter and motioned for Sam to sit in front of her. She climbed onto the bed, kneeling in front of her friend.
"Okay, so spill" said Maxie, right away. Sam looked up at her, lost. "How'd you two get reunited?" clarified Maxie and Sam couldn't help but think the story wasn't all the much.
"Lucky came to the penthouse, arrested me and brought me to the PCPD where Jason had just been transferred to. It was all a setup by him and Dante" she said, downplaying how amazing that moment truly meant to her, and always would. It was one of the most surreal moments of her life, maybe only beat by the day she and Jason were reunited with their son.
"You must be so happy to have him back" said Maxie. Sam bit her lower lip, holding back a smile and shrugged. Yes. She was more, much more than overjoyed to have him back, but she knew it would be different. He had missed so much. Her life was different. She had lived through so much since he had left. "Sam? Come on... It's obvious your happy. You're glowing and he's been back for what? A day?" Sam found herself blushing again. Was she really that transparent? "See" She rolled her eyes.
"Can you blame me, Maxie?" she asked. "My husband came back from the dead... sorta. Who could blame me for being happy?"
"No one" answered the blond. "So... What does he know about his time away?" Sam thought for a second.
"He knows I've dated" she started. Maxie shot her a 'duh!' look. "He knows that Franco and A.J. are alive, that Michael's engaged, about Morgan's past drinking and abuse problems" she was going to continue when Maxie cut her off.
"He knows about Danny... Right?" she asked. Sam smiled and nodded.
"And he knows I wasn't raped" she added, still smiling. Maxie was smiling too, but her face turned serious.
"Does he know..." she trailed off when Sam began shaking her head violently, tears falling down her cheeks. "Are you going to tell him?"
"In due time" she said. Maxie shot her incredulous look. "Soon" she clarified. "You don't just blurt out to your back-from-the-dead-husband that you ex pushed you down a flight of stairs to get you to miscarry when you refused an abortion... and succeeded to make you lose the baby" she finished softly, tears rolling down her cheeks.
A little info on Sam's ten years without Jason.
Will she tell him?
If so, when... and how?
And, I kinda need our help with this one: who is the man who did that to Sam? pm me ideas or should I invent a character?
Fair warning: if I invent a character, it might not be all that great but if that's what you guys want...
Oh and btw... the reunion will continue with Jason/Spinelli, Sam/Maxie, all four and maybe a little Georgie/Danny scene
