A few days had passed and Sam hadn't talked much with either Jason or Sonny. This was Sam's first day off from work in a really long time. Sam sat in the window of her home looking out into the scene that fell behind her house. You could see the harbor in the distance and it was so relaxing just to look at it. Sam had a nice warm cup of coffee in her hands as she stared out into the yard. She was home alone. It was Ali's first day at her new school. Sam had turned of her cell because she didn't want to get called into Metrocourt on the count of either Carly and Jax not being avalible. Sam didn't move or turn her head when she heard a knock on the front door.
"COME IN" she yelled not moving from her location. She heard the door open. "I'm in the living room" She still didn't know who it was that came to visit her.
Jason walked into the living room and looked at her. A smile came acrossed his face. He noticed that the house was silent and he was guessing Ali wasn't home. Jason and Sam haven't talked since they slept together and things were ackward between him, sonny and sam. Because both men were best friends and in love with the Sam woman who loved them both as well. Sam had a feeling of who it was when there was silence. That was one thing that gave him away the lack of talking. Sam could also always feel his presence when he was close enough to touch.
"Wheres Ali, its to quite if she is here" Jason said finally speaking.
Sam laughed because jason was talking about it being to quite. She turned her head for the first time since he arrived and looked at him. She could help but admire him. His short spiked blonde hair and the most amazing blue eyes. She smiled at him. "She is at school, today was her first day."
"Wow, I didn't know she started school already, Michael and Morgan don't start till next week."
"Your telling me, she is growing up so fast" Sam felt Jason's presences lingering close so she looked back out the window. Silence fallen over them for a while. Sam finally broke the silence. "She knows Jason?"
Jason was confused by what Sam had said. "Who knows what?"
Sam sighed and turned her head she could see Jason out of the corner of her eye and he was leaning on the back of the chair. Jason was looking down at the ground. "Ali knows she is your daughter."
Jason looked up and was shocked. "You told her, when, why?"
Sam could barely heard him. "a couple days ago Jason, I told her because she needed to know the truth."
Silence took them over yet again as Jason was finding it hard to think of what to say. "How she take it?" he finally mused
Sam smiled and turned and actully looked at him. "She took it well, she really likes you Jason."
"She is a great kid, Did she asked alot of questions" he asked wanting to know all.
"No just one" sam simply said.
"which was?" Jason's curiousity was getting the best of him.
"If we were going to be a family now?" Sam looked him in the eyes.
Jason looked back into Sam's eyes trying to read her thoughts, but he was unsuccessful. Truth was he couldn't read her anymore. She was a close book that was hiding what laid deep down. "What did you tell her?" he asked suddenly.
Sam looked down. "I told her the truth, I told her that I didn't know." Sam looked up to Jason who was suddenly standing right infront of her.
"We can be a family Sam just like we dreamt of all those years ago" Jason was hoping Sam thought the same.
"Jason I don't know if we can be a family in that way."
"Why not Sam, why can't we be the family I know we both want to be more than anything" Jason lifed Sam's face to maker her look at him. He could now see Sam. She had love, pain and hurt written in her eyes.
"Because even though I love you Jason and I really do, but how do we get past all the pain and hurt we both caused each other over the years and what about sonny?" Sam was fighting back the tears.
"I know that we have said and done things to eachother that we may never forget. but we can use them and get passed them and be together. We may not be like we use to be but we can still have something great Sam. As for Sonny, i know you care about him Sam. Sonny and I have an understanding that you are the one who makes the choose who you want to be with Sam. Its not going to change our friendship with each other. We know the other one will hurt for a little bit but will get over it in time. But that won't stop me from hoping you choose me and not him. Because I love you Samantha Mccall and I always will. That is one thing that has never changed. My love for you will last for the rest of my life. Let me show you the future and family we can be."
Sam was shocked by Jason's decloration. Sam had tears rolling down her eyes. Jason leaned down and kissed her. This is was filled with love and emotion. The kiss was something that they both missed from each other so much. Yes they slept together but that wasn't as intamit as this was. Jason then pulled her into a hug. Sam's head was on his chest tears still streaming from her eyes. "I'm so confused Jason, my mind telling me one then and my heart is telling me another."
"I know Sam, i want you to know im not going to go anywhere even if its just as Ali's father im always going to care about you and what happens to you" jason gave her a small squeeze letting her know he ment it.
"What do we do till I do decide, Jason, because I don't know who or what im going to choose or do?" sam said looking up at him.
"We take things slow, rebuild from the ground up, during that time, spend more time with you and my daughter as a family till you know waht you really want and when that time comes we will work out the details.
"Do you really think we can do this Jason?" sam asked lookign at him with hopeful eyes.
"I don't think I know we can" he smiled down at her.
Sam couldn't help but smile back at him. "Are you busy today?"
"not really im suppose to go into work for a bit but other than that i had nothing planned. why?" Jason still had a hold of Sam.
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to spend the rest of the day with me and that way you could be here when Ali gets home from school and tells us how her first day was," Sam said walking over and taking a drink out of her cup which was now cold. Sam hated nothing more than cold coffee.
"I'd love that Sam let me just call Sonny and push the meeting back to later tonight" he pulled out his phone.
"Great ill go get us come coffee and check my messages" Sam walked out and was in the kitchen looking at her cellphone as it turned back on and she pourd her and Jason coffee. To Sam's relief there was no messages from the Metro-court. There was one from alexis telling her to come over for dinner. Sam walked out of the kitchen. Her phone was in her hand as she juggled carrying both cups. She set down Jason's cup on the table and then set her phone done on it as well. She took her cup and sat back on the couch watching Jason as he stood with his back to her talking to Sonny. Sam couldn't help but stare at his butt. Jason could see Sam checking out his butt in the reflection of window. He smiled as he shut his phone.
"Like what you see?" Jason asked as he turned around smiling. Sam couldn't hide it and she smiled.
"Oh just a little. Those jeans just don't do that butt justuce Jason"
they both laughed as Jason set his phone next to her and took a drink of his coffee before sitting down next Sam on the couch. "So what you wanna do today?"
"well lets just stay in and relax and watch movies Jason. Something simple but something we both love to do" she looked at him before setting her empty coffee cup down.
"Sounds great" jason said as they smiled at eachother.
They spent the next hour talking about whats been going on and laughing at the stupidest things before they turned on the TV and started watching a classic movie that was on. Jason and Sam were laying on the couch covered up in a blacket that was warming them up. Sam was laying on her back while Jason was on his side with his arms wrapped around her holding her close to his body. They move had ended and another was getting ready to start as Jason and Sam stared into each others eyes. Jason's hand ran along her face.
"I have missed this so much Sam,"Jason leaned over to her lips and gave her a gently kiss.
"Me to, I always felt so safe in your arms Jason" This time Sam gave him a gently kiss.
As they layed there togteher they kept giving kisses not long passionate ones but short loving ones. Soon the kissing turned into longer, deeper kisses. Soon there was a knock on the door with out moving from there location Sam yelled come in. The first thing Sam saw was roses. She set up and saw Sonny.
"Hey Sam since my meeting with Jason was cancelled i wanted to know if..." Sonny stoped in his tracks when he saw Jason. "well you have other plans so ill just talk to you later"
"Sonny wait" Sam yell out after him. Shocking both Sonny and Jason. "Are those for me?"
Sonny had almost forgotten the roses. "Ya they are, but i really should be going so you to can have some time alone" he handed her the roses and was getting ready to walk off before he felt Sam's hand slip into his.
"Stay i think we all need to sit down and discuss things" Sam lead Sonny to the living room where Jason was. He was now sitting up on the couch. Sonny sat down in the chair that was empty. "I am going to go put these in some water, ill be right back" Sam left the two men alone in the Living Room. Both not speaking as it became very ackward in the room. Sam came back a few minutes later and sat on the couch next to jason but not close to him. Sam could tell there was weirdness in the room. "ENOUGH ALREADY!" sam screamed.
Both men were suprised by sudden outburst by Sam. Who was up and walking around. "Seeings how you two obviously aren't gong to start talking anytime soon So I guess that leaves me"
"well what do you want us to say Sam? Things are a little weird between all of us" said sonny. Jason looked from him to Sam.
"Thats my point. You two have been friends and partners well before I came along. I don't want to come between you, I want us all to get along and not have this weird vibe going on everytime we are all in the same room" sam declared throwing her hands up in frustartion.
"Sam the only way things are going to go back to normal is when you choose who you want to be with" Jason finally spoke up.
"But I can't I care about you both so deeply how do I choose?" Sam asked.
"Listen to your heart Sam" Sonny piped in.
"but my heart is torn between both of you"
Jason kept quite.
"well Sam maybe you should just take a break from both of us until you finally figure out who your heart belongs to!"
Sam didn't know what to say. "So what I don't see you until I choose or speak every once in awhile, Can you really stay away?" she looked at the men.
"If it helps yes" Sonny said getting up and leaving. Tears started to form in her eyes. Jason knew she was in pain.
Sam looked at Jason. tears now falling from her eyes. "Are you going to leave now to?"
"I will always be here for you Sam and you know that" Jason said as he pulled her into a hug comforting her.
Maybe Sonny is doing this because he knows im going to choose Jason in the end. Sam thought to herself as she left her self cry in his arms.
