Epilogue
5 and a half years later
Sam woke up but stayed in bed for a while. She didn't need to have to run to the bathroom again. Today was the fifth anniversary of their wedding day, and she had a big surprise for Jason. She had found out a week ago she was pregnant, and she loved the idea of another baby in the house. Their son, Jamie, was almost 5 too, and she loved him to death. He was a replica of Jason, with his blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, and she couldn't help but smile when she thought about her son.
''Mommy, mommy wake up,'' she heard Jamie yell, and she opened her eyes and saw him standing behind the bed, with Jason behind him. Jason handed her a piece of toast, and she looked at him in surprise and confusion. ''Mommy!''
''Yeah baby?'' she asked, and he ran to her and jumped on the bed. ''Morning,'' she said after she had given him a kiss on his cheek.
''Morning mommy! Daddy is bringing me to Carly!'' he said, excitedly, and Sam smiled at him. She took a bite of the toast and looked over at Jason.
''I noticed you've been feeling a little under the weather – and even though I know you're stubborn, I need you to go to the doctor today,'' he said, and she nodded. She had thought he had figured it out, but it seemed he just thought she was sick. She smiled at him and looked down at Jamie, who was snuggling against her side.
''Jamie, we need to get dressed,'' Sam said, and Jamie nodded and jumped off the bed again. He was one little guy with a lot of energy, and Sam smiled as she got up from the bed slowly and stood to her feet. ''Come on, baby,'' she said, and Jamie made a face.
''I'm not a baby anymore mommy,'' he said, and she laughed softly and nodded. ''I'm going to play with Michael and Morgan mommy!'' he suddenly exclaimed, and she looked at Jason with a smile before picking up her little boy and carrying him to the bathroom.
''Let's take a bath before getting dressed, Jamie – we need to be clean before we go to Carly's,'' Sam said, and Jamie frowned. ''It's a special day for all of us, remember?'' she said, and he nodded with a smile. He pressed a kiss on her cheek and hugged her, and while she let the tub fill with water she hugged him back.
''I love you mommy,'' he suddenly whispered in her ear, and she felt the tears prick in her eyes.
''I love you too, baby,'' she said, and he started rambling about going to Carly's. That was one of the things he had inherited from Sam. She smiled and stuck her hand in the water to see if it was ok for him to go in, and when she nodded he jumped in. He splashed all the water over her, but she didn't care as she helped him get ready to go to Carly.

After his bath, Jason and Sam had brought Jamie to Carly, and he was excited when they told him he could stay the night. They hadn't told him before because he would've been too excited to do anything, or listen. And they needed him to listen because it would only take longer to bring him to Carly's, and Jason didn't want to be late. Sam looked at him and smiled while he drove to the harbor, and when he parked the car he helped her get out.
''So, after everything we've gone through in the year before we got married, I never thought we would be here – together, happily,'' he said, and she nodded. She hadn't thought they would ever find a way to get passed what happened before, with Jesse and Elizabeth.
''Well, when Elizabeth left I did think about this kind of thing – together, with a son – I dreamt of it,'' she whispered, and he nodded. Sam thought about Elizabeth. After she left nobody had heard from her again, and she didn't mind at all. When Jason had asked her to marry him she had been excited to say the least, and she couldn't be happier on her wedding day.
''I love you, Samantha McCall,'' he whispered in her ear as he held her against him. He led her to the boat and she gasped when she saw how big it was, and when he helped her onto it he smiled at her. ''I thought you'd like it to take this for a spin,'' he said, and she widened her eyes and nodded.
''You mean I can do-''
''Yeah, I mean you can. But not too long, because we're going to have dinner here,'' he told her, and she smiled brightly and started towards the cabin.
''Come on, I'll show you what this girl can do,'' she said, and he smiled and followed her.

Jason looked at Sam while she took a bite of her food. He'd taken the cook from Sonny, who had been happy to lend the man, and had asked him to make Sam's favorites. He told him what they were and he had made them perfect, and after dinner, she started eating even more. So as he was done with his food, she still wasn't.
''I see you have your appetite back,'' he suddenly said, and she looked up and smiled.
''I never lost it,'' she replied, and he frowned.
''But what happened this morning and all the other mornings – I mean you couldn't even eat breakfast and you love it,'' he said with confusion. He had been worried about her a couple of days because she had been throwing up a lot, and he wanted her to go to the doctor, only he didn't think about the day he had planned when he told her to go today. They didn't talk about it all day but he wanted to know what was wrong with her.
''I'm fine, Jason,'' she said, and he looked up and saw her smiling. ''I'm more than fine – I'm great,'' she added, and he sighed.
''Well, why don't you tell me what's going on with you then?'' he asked and she smiled. Then she nodded. ''You're going to tell me finally?'' he asked her, and she nodded.
''Yeah, you want to know what's going on right?'' she said, and he nodded. ''Well, if you think back I'm sure you'll figure it out – I'm sick in the mornings but I can eat like a horse later on, I'm tired and sensitive,'' she told him, and he frowned again.
''I don't get…'' his voice faded when it finally hit him, and he widened his eyes and stared at her for a moment. ''You're – o my god, Sam are we going to have another baby?'' he asked, and when she nodded he jumped up and lifted her in his arms. ''I love you so much – I've been waiting for this moment to happen a long time!''
''I know! Me too, Jason, and I love you too,'' she whispered in his ear, and he smiled. He sat back down and pulled her on his lap.
''God, I can't wait to tell Jamie about this – I bet he's going to love it!'' he said, and she smiled at him. He loved his life. He had been waiting for this moment, this very moment to happen. At this moment he could die a happy man, and he looked at Sam and saw she was feeling the same way. One child, one on the way, and the love of his life in his arms.
''I couldn't be any happier,'' she whispered, and he nodded. That was the exact same feeling he had. He couldn't be any happier. When he looked up and kissed her, she melted in his arms and that was all he needed.
''I love you so much,'' he said again, and she smiled and kissed him again.
''I love you too,'' she replied, and he sighed.
This was the life.
