Chapter 25: Makes Three

"Dr. Lee are you sure that you didn't mix up my chart with someone else's?" said Sam her eyes wide with total shock holding Jason's hand firmly. "You told me yourself three years ago that was impossible."

"I did indeed and three years ago I was correct." said Dr. Lee examining the chart again. "The results of the test indicate that the scarring from your shooting repaired itself and your just under one month pregnant."

"Oh my god." said Sam as her thoughts started to form again. "And I can safely carry to term?"

"I am cautiously optimistic." said Dr. Lee. "Given Carly's pregnancy last year you could very well be fine and give birth to a perfectly healthy child."

"What are the risks?" asked Jason recovering from feeling like his heart stop. "If the worst happens what could happen to Sam or the baby?"

"This pregnancy won't be without its risks." said Dr. Lee seriously. "In the last several years Sam's body has been taxed greatly, and her blood pressure levels are a large concern. I'll tell you exactly what I told Carly take care of yourself, eat healthy, get plenty of sleep and do your best to avoid stress."

"I understand," said Sam as everything sunk in. "Can I have some time alone please?"

"Of course we'll leave you be." said Robin as they walked out. "Someone will be in to check on you later."

"I can go if you want." said Jason unsure of what he was supposed to do. "It's a lot to process all at once."

"I don't want you to leave." said Sam really smiling for the first time in days. "I've been enough in the last few days to last a lifetime."

"Ok how are you feeling?" asked Jason. "You must be pretty overwhelmed by everything."

"It's amazing, I had given up on ever having a child again." said Sam trying and failing to hold back tears. "I had made peace with that Jason and then now the door is open again."

"I understand, of all people I know what the doctors say can be wrong." said Jason wiping away her tears. "What do you want to do now?"

Before Sam could respond screeching came from the door as Kristina and Molly rushed over to hug her, and Alexis stood back looking very happy. "Sam we're so glad you're safe." said Kristina letting go of her elder sister. "We missed so much."

"I missed you guys to." said Sam never more grateful for her sisters. "Thinking about you let me keep my strength."

"I'll leave you alone for a while." said Jason kissing the top of Sam's head. "Do you want me to get anything?"

"One of Mike's burgers from Kelly's." said Sam realizing how hungry she was. "That sounds so good right now."

"I thought it would be pickles and ice cream." said Jason whispering in Sam's ear as she gave him a soft hit to the chest. Then added turning to Kristina and Molly. "This is important; don't let her tire herself out."

"We won't," said Molly as Jason left. "You're going to be ok, aren't you?"

"Yes sweetie." said Sam smiling. "I'm gonna be fine. The doctors are just being cautious."

"So what happened? Where were you taken?" asked Kristina as they sat down. "Nobody gave us much information."

"Relax I'll explain." said Sam, it was good to be back. "You know that it was our uncle Valentin Cassadine who grabbed me. He brought me to this island where mom and Jason found me."

"I wish I had been able to get to you sooner." said Alexis. "you were in danger because of me."

"Mom come on there's no point to that." said Sam wishing Alexis would stop feeling the need to place blame. "The important thing is I'm here safe, I'm going to fine and s is my baby."

"What baby?" asked Alexis Kristina and Molly in unified shock. "Sam you're pregnant?"

"Yeah Dr. Lee just told me." said Sam. "She said it was a miracle especially with what I just went through."

"Oh, Sam this is so exciting." said Molly gushing more than usual. "You're getting married and having a baby."

"We're just taking it one step at a time for now." said Sam. "I'm just trying to accept all this is really happening."

"Girls it's time that you two get to school." said Alexis. "Your sister has had rough few days and needs to get her rest."

"Come on Mom." said Kristina disappointed. "We just got Sam back."

"Listen to mom guys." said Sam. "I promise I'll still be here this afternoon."

"Ok, see you later." said molly as they left. "We love you so much Sam."

"I love you guys to." said Sam, then for the first time in almost six years put her hand over where she knew a baby was growing. "And I'll love you to little baby just like your big sister."

"Hey," said Sonny opening up the door and walking in. "Are you feeling up to having company?"

"Yeah come on in Sonny." said Sam smelling a set-up from a mile away. "Did Jason tell you to come by and check on me or are you gonna tell me that you were in the neighborhood? I'm surprised Max and Milo aren't stationed outside."

"He's just worried about you." said Sonny taking one of the abandoned chairs. "He knows how strong you are, you survive what would shatter most people. You guys just found out you're pregnant."

"Yeah things have changed since the last time I was pregnant." said Sam as her mind traveled back to when she was pregnant with Sonny baby. "I've been thinking about our child a lot lately, how much she changed my life."

"Might be the hormones talking." said Sonny. "I know I didn't act like it but I would have loved our daughter."

"I know that Sonny , I want to say thank you." said Sam appreciative of a complicated history. "Our relationship for the most part was one mistake after another, but I will always be grateful for you giving me my little girl. If it hadn't been for you I would've never gotten to know Jason."

"Everything happens for a reason." said Sonny. "It was part of the journey you had to take to get here and be really happy."

"Well isn't that sweet Corinthos." said Ronnie leaning up against the door frame. "I'm sure you best friend would be thrilled you're sniffing around his woman."

"Sonny's a good friend." said Sam glaring at Ronnie. "What do you want detective?"

"I'm here to take your statement." said Ronnie rolling his eyes. "Standard procedure after kidnappings. So why not make this simple and tell me which one of your boyfriend's enemies was pissed off enough to take you as a message? I also need to know why."

"I should've known you would try to use this to get one over on Sonny and Jason." said Sam crossing her arms. "Fine, I was abducted on what was supposed to be my wedding day and I woke up in South America. This isn't even your problem you're never gonna find the men responsible."

"Why am I not surprised that your uncooperative?" asked Ronnie with his self satisfied smirk. "For all I know it was a set up and you know your captors. Could've been a set up all along."

"What are you accusing her of?" asked Sonny standing up. "You think she staged her own kidnapping?"

"She's definitely conniving enough." said Ronnie. "And she implied that the guys responsible were dead."

"Get out Ronnie." said Jason walking in. "Sam you alright?"

"Yeah I'm cool." said Sam never more happy to see Jason in protection mode. "I was just about to tell Ronnie he can leave at anytime."

"I'm here on official police business." said Ronnie. "A kidnapping took place and my job is to find out why, I need a statement."

"I don't care, leave now." said Jason taking a step forward. "Tell Mac if he wants a statement to either send Lucky or come here himself."

"Just one more thing for you people to manipulate." said Ronnie. "I'm gonna find out what you're hiding eventually."

"Last chance, get out or I will throw you out myself." snarled Jason. "Then I'll call my attorney and she can make you lose your badge then make your life so much harder."

"Oh, make sure Alexis can get in on that." said Sam chuckling. "You know my mother the former District Attorney. She doesn't like it when people harass her daughters."

"Your bluffing." said Ronnie obviously losing his confidence. "You can't touch me and you know it."

"What do you think Sonny?" asked Jason glancing back at Sonny. "How many different law suits could Diane work up?"

"Between her and Alexis a lot." said Sonny grinning. "Badgering a victim, treating her like a suspect when she's still in the hospital."

"Diane will be worth her retainer." said Jason back at Ronnie. "Not to mention harassing a pregnant woman."

"You're pregnant?" asked Ronnie turning back to Sam. "I'd be careful you know what happened to the last woman one of these thugs knocked up."

"That's it you're outta here." said Jason as he and Sonny forced Ronnie through the door by his jacket. "You ok?"

"You kidding? Telling Ronnie where to shove it is the best I've felt in days." said Sam letting herself relax. "Never thought I'd be so happy to stone wall a cop again."

"Right," said Sonny seeing that Sam was putting her wall back up. "I'll leave you two alone, congratulations again Sam."

"So how are you really?" asked Jason sitting down when sonny closed the door behind him. "I can see in you what other people can't."

"Jason I'm fine," said Sam. "It takes a lot more than Ronnie Domestico to break me."

"You know you don't have to do that." said Jason his hand on hers. "it's okay to admit you're drained from everything."

"I must look like hell." said Sam.

"No you look beautiful like you always do." said Jason tucking a stray hair behind Sam's ear. "Maybe a little tired from the fight, but still amazing."

"So you heard flattery will get you everywhere."
