The reception was held on the very same beach. There were tables and chairs set up under an awning, a DJ set up next to the open bar. All shoes were discarded as people enjoyed feeling the sand underneath their feet.
Jason and Sam decided to share their first dance with Lila and Ania as a symbol of their new-found family. Jason had chosen the song I Could Not Ask For More sung by Edwin McCain. Everyone watching the dance had tears in their eyes, they made up the perfect family.
Jason also had it set up so Sam would share a dance with Danny. For that he chose Hero sung by Mariah Carey. They had both been through so much and he could see that they thought of each other as their hero. When he heard it, he knew it was perfect.
For him and Monica, Jason chose You'll Be In My Heart sung by Phil Collins. He thought that it expressed his feelings the best. He had listened to countless songs and, when he heard this one, he knew it was the one.
After all of the first dances were out of the way, everyone went to change into their swim suits to take advantage of ocean.
Carly had brought Sam a white, halter style bikini. Jason thought that she looked gorgeous. He picked her up and threw her into the water. When she came back up, she ran into Jason knocking him over. They shared a kiss in the water before Lila and Ania joined them in the water. They may only have been two months old, but they loved the water.
Jason and Sam were now dancing to Brown Eyed Girl sung by Van Morrison. They were having a blast, laughing and just a little drunk. Since Sam had found out that she was pregnant on her 21st birthday, she hadn't had much alcohol. Only the occasional sip of her dad's wine at dinner. She was more than a little tipsy.
Just then Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard started to play, just like it did at Carly's club when she first came to town. Mixed with the alcohol in her system, you could say that it was a very entertaining site.
"Alright everybody, it seems as though my lovely wife has had just a little too much to drink. Thank you all for coming and supporting us. It means a lot to us both that we could share it with you. Now if you'll excuse me, I think I am going to take Sam here back to the hotel before she passes out."
"What....What are you talking about Ja...Jason? I am not drunk" Sam slurred as she stumbled over her own feet. Jason caught her and then picked her up.
"Feel free to hang out and enjoy yourselves. The music, food, and bar will be here for another couple of hours. Carly, we'll see you and the girls tomorrow afternoon."
"You got it Jason; wave bye-bye to mommy and daddy girls!"
---------------------
"Excuse me, we are looking for Samantha McCall and were told that she would be here" The woman said
"I'm sorry but I don't know a Samantha McCall. I only know a Sam Morgan" Carly didn't know who these people were but she was not giving out any information willingly
"Are you sure you don't know her. She has a baby, probably around two months old."
"Sorry...Sam has twins."
"Oh, well...sorry we bothered........Danny? What are you doing here?"
"Shit!" Carly said under her breath
"Mom....Dad....what are you doing here?" Danny was confused. He hadn't seen his parents since they got mad at Sam before she left
"We heard that Samantha was here...Have you seen her? Wait what are you doing out of school?" To say that Evelyn and Cody were confused would be an understatement.
"Sammy went home with Jason. Sonny and Carly are taking my back to school later"
"Wait a minute...who are Sonny and Carly...and who the hell is Jason and why is Samantha going home with him"
"Hi there...I believe we already met. I'm Carly and this is my husband Sonny"
"Evelyn McCall and my husband Cody, Samantha and Danny's parents"
"Ohhhh...so you two are the ass holes who threw Sam out after she was raped and then ended up pregnant...Well as you can see Sam is not here, her husband took her back to their hotel room"
"What the hell do you mean husband?"
"Congratulations, you just successfully crashed your daughter's wedding reception!!" Carly was enjoying this too much and she could not believe that they did not notice that the babies in her arms were the spitting image of Sam.
"Samantha got married? And we did not know about it?"
"That probably has something to do with you throwing her out of you house. You can leave now. I will tell Sam that you stopped by. Don't count on her calling you back" Carly then turned to Sonny "We should take Danny back to school and get these two little ones home...They have had a long day"
"Congratulations on your twins." Cody said to Carly as him and his wife turned to leave. She just could not hold it in.
"They're not mine...They're Sam's" And with that Carly, Sonny, Danny, Michael, Morgan, Lila, and Ania headed home.
---------------------
"Ok missy...Time for you to lie down."
"B...Bu...But Ja...Jason!"
"No buts Sam, you are completely drunk. Just wait until tomorrow morning. I bet you will never lay a finger on another drink again"
"Fi...Fine..I…I will...go to bed...on...one condition." Sam finally managed to get out
"Da...Dance wi...with me"
"One dance and that is it"
Jason turned on the radio and Have I Told You Lately by Rod Stewart was playing. They just swayed until he felt Sam go limp in his arms. That sure didn't take long Jason thought as he picked her up and put her in the bed. He then changed his clothes, climbed in next to her and fell asleep
-----------------
It was almost 1:30pm and Sam was still sound asleep when all of a sudden there was a knock at the door. She let out a soft moan and grabbed her head. Then she heard shuffling of feet and people whispering.
"Thanks for watching them Carly" Jason was whispering and trying not to wake Sam
"No problem Jason...I can see Sam is still asleep, do I sense a hangover?"
"A big one...could you guys keep your voices down? My head is killing me." They turned to see Sam sitting up in bed and grabbing her head. "Ugh...I think I'm going to be sick" She tried to get up but became dizzy so she laid back down on the bed.
"Hangovers are a bitch" Carly stated
"You can say that again" Sam was now trying to block out the light with her hands.
"Uh Sam, can I talk to you?"
"Sure Carly, what's up?"
"We had two very unwanted guests crash your reception after you and Jason left"
"Who?"
"Your parents" Carly was ready for her reaction
"What the HELL did they want? They basically through me out on my ass when they found out I was pregnant! What did you tell them?"
"Well first they asked if I knew a 'Samantha McCall'. I told them I only knew a Sam Morgan. Then they said that you would have a two month old baby but I told them that the Sam I knew had twins. They were about ready to leave when your mom spotted Danny. Then they found out that you were married and had twins. Sam you should have seen their faces...It was the funniest thing in the world"
"Thanks for standing up to them for me Carly. You are a great friend. And Jason thanks for making me leave. If I would have seen them while drunk, it could have gotten ugly"
"That's what I'm here for" Jason sat on the side of the bed and handed Lila to Sam while he held Ania. Carly left and then Jason spoke to Sam
"I am going to see the administrator at Danny's school soon. Would you and the girls like to join me?"
"Of course, but why are you going to see the administrator?"
"Well, I was thinking I could get your brother transferred to a school closer to Port Charles."
"Really? You mean it?" Sam's hangover went out the window with Jason's statement. Her whole face was lit up and Jason thought that she couldn't look any more beautiful
"Go get ready...I have an appointment in an hour"
With that, Sam shot up off the bed, put Lila in her bassinet, and disappeared into the bathroom...All the while with Jason laughing at her
-------------------
"Come on Danny...I know you know where your sister is. Just tell us" Evelyn was getting aggitated, she wanted to have a talk with her daughter about this Jason guy
"I don't...Sam and Jason brought the girl's here. We went to eat and then to play on the beach. Then they brought me back here. I don't know where they are"
Cody grabbed Danny and began shaking him "You will stop lying and tell me where your sister is right now!"
"GET YOUR GOD DAMN HANDS OFF OF HIM!!"
Cody just stood there in shock. He had never heard her talk to him that way.
"I said, GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF OF HIM" Sam had walked into the room with the twins, Matt, and Dave only to witness her father shaking Danny. She didn't know what came over her but she knew that she was pissed.
"Samantha don't talk to your father like that" This time Evelyn spoke
"What do you expect me to say, CODY was assaulting my brother!" Sam made sure to emphasize Cody's name because she no longer saw them as her parents.
"Sam, what's going on? I heard you yelling." Jason looked at the sight before him. There was a man grabbing Danny's wrists, a woman just standing there looking at his wife, who was red faced with anger
"Danny, would you mind going with Matt and Dave to keep the twins company in the car?" Sam spoke to her brother
"Sure Sammy" Danny went to walk away when Cody grabbed him harder. Danny winced in pain and Sam snapped. She walked right up to Cody and slapped him across the face
"I told you to let him go!"
"You little bitch" Cody went to slap Sam when Jason stepped between the two
"Touch her and you will have to deal with me... Danny, go with Matt and Dave. Your sister and I will be out in a minute" Danny obliged and Jason turned his attention back to Cody
"Who the hell do you think you are? This is between me and my daughter"
"This has everything to do with me, I'm her husband. So I suggest you back off."
"The hell I will, I'm her father!"
"Not from where I stand your not. You threw her out when you learned she was pregnant after being RAPED, and now you were about to hit her. That is not the description of a father, that's the description of an ass hole...Come on Sam, let's take Danny home"
Jason and Sam left Cody and Evelyn fuming.
-------------------
They were the plane on their way back to Port Charles. Danny was playing his nieces but Sam had been quiet since they left Danny's school. Jason was getting worried.
"Are you alright Sam?"
"Thank you for what you did back there. I don't know what my actions would have been if you hadn't walked in. I might have been kicking my father's ass."
"Well, he would have deserved every hit you gave him." This made Sam laugh and Jason was relieved. This was the Sam that he knew and loved.
"Hey...look at me. I would do anything for you, even if it meant beating up your father"
"I love you Jason"
"I love you too Sam." They shared a quick kiss and then watched Danny interact with Lila and Ania.
-------------------
"I can't believe that that bitch slapped me. Who does she think that she is?"
"Don't talk about her like that. She's your daughter"
"Not any more" Cody picked up his phone and dialed a number "I would like to schedule a visit with Paul Garnet"
-------------------
"It's great to be home!" Sam said as she walked into the penthouse and plopped down on the couch
"This is where you live Sammy? It's pretty, and big"
"Thanks Danny. Would you like to see your room?"
"I get my own room?"
"Well, actually you get to share it with Spinelli. Is that alright?" Jason said as he opened the door to the downstairs bedroom.
"Yeah. I like Spinelli"
"Speaking of which, here he is now" Sam said as she got up and hugged him. He had become a brother to her.
"Spinelli you will be sharing your room with Danny until we get him situated at his school"
"Cool, the Jackal would be honored to share his abode with the brother of the Fair Goddess"
"Great. Could you help him settle in Spinelli? Sam and I have to take Lila and Ania to GH for an appointment."
"Sure no problem Stone Cold."
"We will be back soon and then we can all go get something to eat"
"Sounds great. Let's go" Sam said as she picked up one of carriers and followed Jason out of the penthouse.
-----------------
It had been 7 months since those days in Hawaii. Lila and Ania were both typical infants going on toddlers. At 9 months they were walking, or waddling as Spinelli described it, as well as eating solid foods. Jason and Sam were enjoying every minute of watching, and chasing, their daughters. As Jason would say, Even at such a young age they had their mother's personality. He also wouldn't be surprised if they were talking by their first birthday
Since neither one wanted to miss anything, the newlyweds haven't really had a real honeymoon, just long weekends here and there; very busy long weekends.
What surprised Sam was that she hadn't heard from her parents. They hadn't tried to contact her or Danny. She wasn't sure what they were up to, but she knew that they would come along sooner or later. Sam just hoped that it was later.
------------------
Today was a beautiful September day so Jason and Sam decided to take the twins to the park.
"How about we go play on the swings Lila?" Jason cooed at the girl, watching her toddle towards the equipment
"I think that's a great idea, what do you think Ania? Want to go on the swings?" Sam watched as she followed her sister.
"I guess we should take that as a yes" Jason smiled as him and Sam walked closely behind their daughters.
--------------------
What they didn't know was that somebody was watching them from a bench across the way. He was pretending to read a newspaper to hide his face.
He had been more than surprised to hear from his ex-fiancée's parents. He was shocked to hear that they wanted his help to get her away from her husband. Husband He thought. It sure didn't take long
He watched as the little family played. Cody and Evelyn definitely didn't mention that she had children. They looked just like their mother. Those two must have been busy after I went to jail. Those brats can't be older than a year He thought as he got up and walked away
Little did he know was that Sam had spotted him
---------------------
Jason noticed Sam tense up next to him "Sam, what's wrong honey"
"Jason we have to go! We have to get the girls and leave now!" She was in a panic. So many questions were running through her head. She was starting to get dizzy.
Jason just watched as Sam swayed "Matt, Dave...get the girls, we are leaving now!!"
"Yes sir"
As Jason turned to Sam she spoke, more to herself than to him "It can't be him...No, he's in jail...he's in jail...how could he have found me?"
Jason was worried. He followed her gaze only to see the back of a tall, dark haired man. He had never seen him before but, if his hunch was correct, that man would soon be a dead man.
"Boss, we're ready"
"Alright lets go...Sam, baby..." Jason couldn't finish his sentence before Sam collapsed in his arms.
"SAM, SAM, come on wake up baby" Jason tried with all his might to wake his wife, but his efforts were useless
"Matt, call Sonny and Carly and then take the girls home. Dave, get us to the hospital!"
"Right away!" Both guards answered. They were worried about Sam, she was always nice to them and they knew that Jason would lose his mind if anything happened to her...He loved her too much.
------------------
Dave raced Jason and Sam to the hospital while Matt took the twins to Sonny and Carly's. Once Matt got there and explained what happened, Sonny and Carly left the penthouse to go to the hospital...leaving Dave, Max, and Milo to watch Michael, Morgan, Lila, and Ania
Once Jason walked into the ER with Sam, Monica and Emily were paged.
"Jason, she is going to be fine...we are going to make sure of it"
"I don't know what I would do if I lost her Monica"
"What exactly happened before she collapsed?" Emily asked
"We were pushing the girls on the swings in the park. She tensed up and then said that we had to leave. Then she started to say something about how he was in jail and that it couldn't be him. I followed her gaze and saw a man who I have never seen before. Then she passed out"
"Well it sounds like she had a panic attack, but we will examine her and find out what's wrong. You can go sit with her if you'd like" Monica was worried for both her son and her daughter-in-law
Just as Jason was about to walk towards Sam's room Sonny and Carly came running in
--------------------
[Sam's Dream]
She was standing in the park with Jason watching Michael and Morgan play with Lila and Ania. Jason was standing behind her, hands on her stomach...as if rubbing it.
Then the scene changed to her walking into the penthouse to find Jason sleeping on the couch with the twins. When she looked down at herself, it had looked like she had gained a little weight, but she thought nothing of it. She was just thinking about how right it felt to be watching Jason with the girls.
The scene changed back to the park, but this time there were two other children sitting with Sonny and Carly. They were only a couple of months old. Sam just thought that her friends had had more children, until she looked more closely. They looked identical, both with blonde hair and deep blue eyes. They looked just like Jason.
"Mommy, play!" Lila said to Sam. The girl looked a couple months shy of two.
"Daddy, play!" This time Ania spoke, pointing to Jason who was now sitting with Sonny and Carly.
"Why don't you girls come see your sisters and give your mommy a break" Jason spoke as he smiled at Sam"
Sisters? Sam thought to herself. Then it dawned on her that the two newborns must be her and Jason's.
Sam's setting was now changed back to the penthouse where all four girls were climbing on Jason. Lila and Ania looked to be about two and half and the younger girls were just starting to take a few steps here and there
"Mommy!" the older twins yelled and ran full speed towards Sam. The younger girls looked up at her and smiled before crawling towards her. She could not believe that she had another set of beautiful twin girls...and this time they were Jason's.
Before she could continue her thought, she heard her name being called in the distance. She saw the image in front of her slowly fade away as she was pulled to reality.
