Chapter 14; Preparations and Party Crashers

"So we're good on the plan tomorrow?" said Jason at his office on the phone with Sam the day of the rehearsal dinner. "We sneak out of the reception the first chance we get then take the bike straight to the cabin."

"Yeah it's gonna be nice going there and not being distracted by the idea of losing you to Pentonville." said Sam glad that Jason bought the cabin after he was released. "As long as we can get away without Carly noticing it can be just you and me, and then take the jet to Hawaii."

"Yeah it's the having to wait that's bothering me." said Jason thinking of Sam finally being his wife. "So you are getting ready to go to Hawaii?"

"Yeah my stuff is ready to move back in with you, just getting everything together for our honeymoon." said Sam smiling at the words that at one time she never thought she'd experience. "Which reminds me I have the orange bikini and the tropical print one any ideas of what other one I should pack?"

"The black one." said Jason automatically the image of Sam clear in his mind. "Just so you know you won't be in it long."

"That's something I'm definitely looking forward to." said Sam smiling. "That and two weeks in Hawaii, nothing but you and me, and the beginning of the rest of our lives together."

"You won't be disappointed I promise and I want to make you happy forever." said Jason. "Do we really have to do this rehearsal dinner tonight?"

"Yes we do, and the girls cornered me into saying I would be at the lake house tonight." said Sam apologetically. "So our next night together will be our first night as husband and wife, I have to go so I'll see you in a few hours at the church."

"Ok, see you then." said Jason hanging up his phone.

"I need to speak with you immediately." said Diane firmly. "This is as your attorney, and more importantly as a woman."

"Ok Diane you have my attention." said Jason eyebrows raised. "What is it that you feel that's wrong now?"

"I've recently been informed that Robin, Brenda, and Carly will be in attendance at your wedding." said Diane in her usual warning tone. "Jason it is in bad taste to invite three past women you were involved with to your wedding."

"Hey it's on Sam's side to." said Jason smirking slightly. "Both Jax and Sonny are coming. So that's four people five if you count Brenda from our combined past that we've agreed we're just fine with being there."

"You had better hope that this isn't an omen." said Diane. "You may recall Sonny had the same predicament when he was to about marry Kate Howard."

"I don't think one had to do with the other." said Jason honestly. "As for what happened to Kate I'll be taking extra precautions for security."

~4 and half hours later at Saint Timothy's Church~

Sam got to the church early and walked into the empty sanctuary and walked up to the altar where she with Jason stood over six years ago.

Hearing the music start and seeing Jason turn as she walked passed Edward Sonny and Carly and stopped right next to her. After Carly's plan failed Jason gave her a warning look as the ceremony restarted.

"I Jason take you Samantha to be my wife." said Jason his usual stone face combined with the slightest bit of caring. "For better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in heath, as long as we both shall live."

"Sam," said Jason quietly behind her. "Sam, hey what are you thinking about?"

"The night when we almost got married." said Sam smiling turning to face Jason. "You know I didn't even like you back then, but you still looked really good."

"So did you." said Jason moving Sam's shorter hair out of her face. "None of that's gonna happen this time we love each other and we're getting married for all the right reasons."

"I just saw Father Coates's car pull up." said Sonny closely followed by Carly, Alexis, Molly and Kristina. "You guys ready to get this show on the road?"

"Yeah we're ready." said Sam as the two walked toward the others. "In fact I think we've been ready for a really long time."

"Good evening everyone." said Father Coates walking in and they all walked to the front. "If everyone is ready we can get started. Now so Molly and Jason you'll be up here when the ceremony starts, then Sonny and Kristina as best man and maid of honor you'll walk down the aisle together followed by the bride. Sam when I address you would you like me to call you Sam or Samantha."

"Yeah let's go with Sam," said Sam smiling. "These days nobody calls me Samantha and gets away with it."

"Ok, Sam it is, the next thing is the bride walks down the aisle." said Father Coates looking from Sam to Jason. "Ms. Davis you'll answer when I ask who gives away the bride away. You've said that you want to say your own vows would you like to practice them now?"

"Uh, no." said Sam making eye contact with Jason. "I think we'll say them for the first time tomorrow."

"Ok, then Jason, Sonny gives you Sam's ring which you put on her finger." said Father Coates. "Then Sam Kristina gives you Jason ring and you will do the same. And finally I will pronounce you man and wife. Jason you'll kiss your bride and I'll introduce you to the guests as Mr. and Mrs. Jason Morgan."

~ Over at the Corinthos restaurant~

"Hey Conan, I that was my brother." said Milo, talking to the eager waiter. "He said the boss, Jason and the rest of the wedding party just left the church and are on their way over here."

"Yes finally," said Conan happy until a bump into the bodyguard made him drop the stack of place cards. "Uh oh, Mr. Morgan told me this needed to be the exact order of who is seated where."

"Relax, you can just pretend that didn't happen." said Milo picking up the cards and giving them back to Conan. "There's no need to tell Jason, what's the worst that could happen?"

"Hey is everything okay?" asked Jason as he and Sam walked in. "You guys look tense what's, uh what's going on?"

"Oh, nothing." said Conan putting the cards on the tables. "Making sure everything goes right for this very special occasion."

"Thank you Conan we appreciate it." said Sam smiling at her fiancée. Once people started to arrive there was immediate tension Edward was seated next to Sonny, Carly next to Alexis and Mac as her date had Spinelli on his other side, arguments erupted within minutes. "Uh, Jason you see what I see?"

"Yeah this is exactly what I didn't want to happen." said Jason as the volume of the room climbed. "We need to the situation defused and fast, can I get everyone's attention."

"Jason you know that's not gonna work, let me." said Sam whistling to effectively silence the room. "There you go."

"Thanks, ok obviously there was a mix up with the seating arrangements." said Jason looking form at the disaster pairings. "Listen up we don't want there to be any trouble, so if you hate the person you're sitting next to then move."

Once people moved away from the danger zones dinner was able to pass without any unneeded drama. "First off I'd like to thank you all for coming to celebrate with us." said Sam after everyone was finished eating. "Jason and I are very grateful that despite whatever happened in the past everyone came to support us tonight and tomorrow on the most important day of our lives."

"Sorry I don't think that's gonna happen." said Ronnie walking in with an officer behind him. "Jason Morgan where were you two hours ago? There was a torching one of Johnny Zacchara's vessels sounds like the kind of thing you would handle personally, right commissioner."

"Oh come on this is ridiculous." said Sam having lost her patience with the crooked cop. "We all have alibis, two hours we were rehearsing for our wedding tomorrow."

"Sam don't waste your breath." said Jason keeping her from starting a fight for no reason. "Look you want to try to railroad me for something I didn't do be my guest, I'll be back in two and a half weeks. Diane do your job here please."

"Commissioner Scorpio there is major problem here." said Diane standing up addressing Mac. "You need to rope in your reactionary detective who is continually attempting frame an innocent man."

"In fact you are right counselor." said Mac standing up. "Detective Domestico you are out of line and we will discuss this at the station tomorrow."

"In the mean time no one wants you here." said Jason taking a step toward Ronnie. "Get out, and don't you ever talk to Sam like that again."

"If you're hungry I could get you a to-go order." piped up Conan.

"Conan," said Sonny sternly. "Not the time."

"Sorry."
