Chapter 14
September 20
Sam stared at the file on the desk. It had been lying there this past week and she wanted to look it through, but she didn't want to do it alone. This morning she had woken up with another headache and had gotten to the bathroom just in time. Then, after taking a shower she went downstairs before Jason woke up, and from that moment she had been sitting on the couch staring at the file.
''Hey,'' she heard behind her, and she turned around and smiled at Jason. She hadn't even heard him come down, and she sighed as he sat down next to her and pulled her in his arms. ''I know you want to look it through, and maybe you should – maybe you want me to be there when you do,'' he said, and she nodded.
''I think that would be helpful,'' she replied, and he nodded. Last week after she'd had the nightmare about her father, she'd been sleeping less and she knew Jason felt it.
''You need something to get your mind off of everything, don't you?'' he asked her, and when she shrugged he smiled. ''I know just the way to distract you,'' he said huskily, and she frowned at him.
Suddenly he pushed her down, pressing his mouth on hers and forcing his tongue in her mouth. She moaned and he played with her tongue. She loved it when he kissed her and certainly when he kissed her by surprise. He kissed her until they were out of breath, and then he surprised her by moving down and pulling her breasts out of her tank top and bra. He moved his face down and kissed her already hard nipples, and then he moved further down and pushed her skirt up. She widened her eyes as he ripped her panties and she moaned when he kissed her stomach through her tank top. She felt the desire shoot through her, and when he moved down she widened her eyes, finally realizing what he was going to do.
''Jason,'' she moaned, and he looked up at her with a grin before taking her clit in his mouth. His lips were on her and she jerked her body, feeling the tension rise in her body faster than she anticipated. Before she knew it she reached her climax and a rainbow of colors exploded behind her eyelids. He didn't stop, though, he went on until he had let her reach her climax twice, and then he moved up again and pinned her down on the couch before he kissed her again. His tongue pushed open her lips and she tasted herself in his mouth, which only made her want more. ''Please,'' she whispered, and he pressed his hips forward, making the same movement over and over again until she came again – and he hadn't even had to come inside of her.
''You were not like this before,'' he growled, and she shook her head. She had thought it was like this all the time. ''God, I need you,'' he whispered, and just as he began to open his jeans, there was a knock on the door. Sam moaned and Jason let out a frustrated sigh as he looked over at her. She knew she had to look like she had just made love, and she smiled at him as he got up. ''Go upstairs and I'll come to you later,'' he growled gently, and she nodded and got up from the couch. A sudden dizzy spell overcame her and she stumbled a little. Jason grabbed her waist and held her upright, and when the dizziness faded she nodded. ''I'll be right there,'' he called out to the person who was knocking on the door, and he helped her to the stairs.
''See you soon,'' she mumbled, and she started up the stairs. She heard Jason open the door when she reached the top and smiled. She was looking forward to what was going to happen next, and she got to the bedroom and laid down on the bed, waiting for Jason to come upstairs and finish what he started.

Jason opened the door when he knew Sam was out of sight and sighed when he saw Patrick. ''Jason, I need you to come with me – there is an emergency at the hospital and we're both needed,'' he said quickly, and Jason frowned. Why would Patrick come all the way to the penthouse to tell him that when he could've called?
''Why-'' he started, but Patrick interrupted him.
''I was on my way to the hospital already when I got the page and they asked me to contact you because they couldn't reach you – you weren't on call today and they do need you – come on,'' Patrick said fast, and he urged Jason to come with him. Jason nodded and went to grab his coat.
''Sam!'' he called, and he heard her come down the stairs seconds later, looking normal again. ''I need to get going – the hospital is having a crisis,'' he said, and Sam nodded.
''Be careful – and you too, Patrick,'' she said, and Jason and Patrick nodded. Patrick pushed Jason out the penthouse and nodded at Sam before he closed the door, and he looked at Jason.
''It's Jesse – he has had some accident and he's in very bad shape – then there is Elizabeth, apparently she was with him when this happened,'' he explained as they made their way to the hospital.
''Elizabeth was with Jesse?'' Jason asked surprised, and when Patrick nodded he sighed. He could've known it.
''Both have sustained head trauma and they need surgery, and we are the only two who can do it – but they need it now and they need it bad, that's all I know,'' Patrick finished, and Jason nodded. The remainder of the ride over to the hospital was in silence, and Jason prepared for the surgery he had to perform. He hoped and prayed Patrick would be smart enough to take on Jesse's surgery, because Jason knew he would rather let the man die on the table than save him.

Sam let out a pent up sigh and sank down on the couch. She knew Jason's job could need him at any time but she hated that he had to go right now. Even though she didn't remember everything of their relationship from before, she could feel a lot. She wanted and needed him, and she knew he needed her too.
She looked at the file again and took a deep breath, deciding to read it right now. She wanted to know her background. She smiled at the irony – she didn't remember and there was a whole file on her on the desk. She got up and waited for the dizziness to take over, and was glad it didn't. She'd been getting dizzy a lot lately, and she had been getting nauseated more too. She walked over to the desk, grabbed the file and walked back to the couch. She sat down and opened the file, but closed her eyes. She needed some strength, and she wished Jason were here to help her get through this. She knew about her father, and she knew about Jesse – although she didn't know if that would be in the file – but other than that she didn't know anything. She opened her eyes and started reading.
She grew up – until she was 6 – in Port Charles with her father and mother. Her sister – half sister Elizabeth – had stayed behind with their mother when Cody McCall decided he didn't want to settle down, and he had taken Sam with him. Her mother had died when Elizabeth was still young, and her grandmother had raised Elizabeth. Sam didn't know why that was in her file, but she didn't care much.
Cody had taken Sam all over the country and taught her how to con people, steal them out of their money and run. He also was abusive, and it didn't surprise Sam it was in her file. She had been in the hospital a couple of times because of a beating from him, but she never filed charged against her father. Even though she hated him, she didn't want him to rot in jail, so she left him and found Jesse.
Jesse had been good to her, until she had said something to piss him off and he broke her wrist. She had pressed charges, determined not to fall in old routines like with her father, and then had dropped them when he apologized and asked her to come on a date with her. Somehow she fell for it and she started dating him, and before she knew it she was living with him and getting a beating almost every day because of something stupid. It took her two years to leave him, and another two years to find herself again.
She'd traveled from one place to another and worked everywhere for her money. She didn't con people anymore – she hadn't since she'd left Cody, and she was proud of it. Then she had found something and she had decided to go to Port Charles, and that was everything Jason had found on her.
She wondered what she had found that made her go to Port Charles – because as far as she knew it wasn't about Elizabeth. Trusting on the feelings she had when Elizabeth was around she wouldn't go back to the town if the only reason were to see her half sister. There was a knock on the door and she got up to open it. She walked over to the door with the file in her hand, and threw it on the desk when she got there and then opened the door. Carly stood in front of her and smiled.
''Hey you, I haven't seen you in a while,'' Carly said, and Sam nodded. After she had moved in with Jason she'd seen Carly some more, but this week had been busy. She had been looking for a job and moping around wanting to read the file.
''You know, I was – no that's not true. I was just reading that file about me I told you about, and I found out some things about myself. There is not much in there I don't know though,'' she replied, and Carly nodded and walked past Sam inside the penthouse and turned around again.
''What did you find?'' Carly asked as she took off her coat. Sam shrugged and told her what she found, and Carly frowned when she told her about the reason to come back to Port Charles. ''There wasn't anything in the file on what it was?'' Carly asked confused, and Sam shook her head.
''No, I didn't see anything on it. I think I need to go and find out why I went to Port Charles,'' she replied, and Carly nodded.
''If you want, I can help you – Sonny has a lot of connections and I can probably get him to search,'' Carly said, and Sam smiled and nodded grateful.
''Thanks, I appreciate it,'' she replied and Carly nodded. She sat down on the couch with a sigh and closed her eyes.
''I'm exhausted – the boys were running around and I asked Sonny to keep an eye on them while I went for a walk,'' she murmured, and Sam smiled and sat down next to Carly. ''They wanted to go to the park and they wanted to stay in – they wanted everything and I was going crazy,'' Carly added, and Sam laughed softly.
''I can't imagine having a kid – let alone two – running around making me crazy,'' she said softly, and Carly opened her eyes and looked at her.
''Someday you will sit on my couch like this, and don't say I didn't warn you,'' Carly said with a smile, and Sam smiled back. She couldn't wait having a kid of her own.

Jason sank down on the couch in the waiting area of the hospital and sighed of relief. When Patrick had come to get him hours earlier, he didn't think it would take this long – he also didn't think it would be this much of a challenge to save Elizabeth's life. Not only was it hard not to think about what she had done to Sam, the procedure he had to perform was a hard procedure, and it had taken him all this time to do it right. It was late – already way past dinner time – and he hated being away for this long without Sam knowing when he would be back. He also hated the way he had to leave Sam at home, because he had wanted her badly. When he had heard that knock he almost ignored it, he wanted to carry her up the stairs and make love to her all day. He didn't want to let her go, not when he just found her again.
''Jason, why don't you go home,'' he heard Robin say, and he looked up to see her walking toward him. She sat down next to him and he sighed. He'd loved to go home, but he couldn't – not with a patient in critical condition.
''Because both Jesse and Elizabeth are critical right now, Robin,'' he replied, and she sighed and nodded.
''That doesn't mean you have to stay – Patrick is here and he is on call and has a shift in an hour, so he will be here to monitor both of them, and I will be here to help him – as are all the nurses,'' she replied, and he nodded. She had a point, and he really did want to go home to see how Sam was doing. He knew she had wanted to read the file on herself all week, and he knew she had been preparing for it today. She wanted to read the file and he knew she would – with or without him.
''Ok – ok,'' he said when she opened her mouth to tell him to go home again, and she smiled. He smiled back at her and got up, feeling his back ache after the long hours in surgery. ''I'll see you in two days – I'm off tomorrow,'' he said, and she nodded and pushed him towards the elevators. He rolled his eyes and smiled at her before he pressed the button down, and he looked at her until the doors closed and the elevator started moving. Reaching the ground floor he stepped out and walked to his car, finally able to go home to his Sam.
#####
When he opened the door he wasn't surprised to see Sam sleeping on the couch with the file on top of her. She had been tired a lot lately, and he worried about it. He also wasn't surprised she had decided to read the file without him, and he smiled when he saw the peaceful look on her face while she was sleeping. He closed the door behind him softly, and decided he would carry her upstairs, but when he walked closer, she stirred and begun to wake up. ''Hey sleeping beauty,'' he said softly, and she opened her eyes and smiled at him. She yawned and sat up, giving him space to sit down next to her.
''Hey – did everything go ok?'' she asked, and when he nodded she did the same. ''Good – I read the file,'' she told him, and he nodded. He took it from her and laid it on the table.
''I saw – did you find anything useful?'' he asked her, and she shrugged. She didn't say anything, and he wondered what it meant. ''What do you mean,'' he said, and he shrugged. She smiled and sighed.
''There's a lot I already knew from what Elizabeth told me and what I remembered – the big stuff is in there but there is something about – I found something that that was the reason for me to return to Port Charles,'' she told him, and he nodded. ''Jason, I'm tired,'' she said softly, and she yawned again. He nodded and got up, and helped her get up as well.
''Come on – we're sleeping together tonight,'' he said, and she nodded. He didn't tell her about Jesse and Elizabeth yet – he wanted her to get some rest before hearing the news, and as they got dressed for the night they were silent. He slipped in the bed and when Sam did the same, he pulled her against him and before he knew it they were both asleep.
