Thank you for all the reviews! I greatly appreciate it. I hope you will continue to review. Thank you for reading my story. Here is the next update. I don't own any rights to the show or characters, just my own stories.

Just to let those of you know that are 'guests' (Carla, Kelsey, Daniel, LiasonLuv, Trini12180, and any other guests that are reading this story), in case you don't know when I post updates in my short stories/one shots, I thought I'd give you a heads up for those of you that are Liason lovers. I posted two Liason stories in the last two weeks. One is a one shot of Liason called 'As Long As You Love Me' rated T by Backstreet Boys and it's completed. The other is rated 'M' titled 'Because of You' based on Kelly Clarkson and it's a short story and that one is completed as well. The 'M' rated story is a dark story and has language/violence in it. If you choose to read it, I hope you will review and let me know what you think! I enjoy knowing what everyone thinks of the chapters and if I did okay. Thanks!

Lrobinson01: Thanks for the review!

Mommyzilla: Thanks for the review! Yeah, a lot of people including yourself wanted to see Lucky get a beating. Lol. I'm doing the best I can at keeping everyone in suspense and having the story make sense. Oh, I have no doubt Emily will wanna help her brother with the proposal night. I'm glad you're enjoying my writing!

Carla: Thanks for the review! Yep, Lucky is losing it. Lucky is a loose cannon & if he keeps it up, Jason/Max will have his head, if they're not already planning it.

Daniel: Thanks for the review! Oh, yes, Lucky is a total psycho alright. Lucky is getting worse by the minute, especially with this plan he and Sam have in motion. I appreciate you enjoying my story.

LiasonLuv: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Elizabeth is a toughie who holds her own and when Lucky and Sam put their plan in motion, she will have to be tough.

Kelsey: Thanks for the review! I could never forget some Jason/Audrey scenes. Lol. I know in other stories, Audrey doesn't like Jason, but I wanted them to be on good terms in mind. Max would do anything for Elizabeth. I like their friendship.

Trini12180: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you're enjoying the story. I hope to hear more from you. More details in Sam's pregnancy story will be revealed in the next chapter. Enjoy!

Guest: Thanks for the review! Sam is definitely pregnant, but it's the matter of finding out who the father is. Is it Jason or someone else? I know who it is and I'm doing my best to reveal details without revealing plot points. Hope to hear from you again.

Ilovedana53: Thanks for the review! I thought everyone enjoyed Audrey/Jason scenes. Lucky is definitely something else. Lol.

Babeboo1968: Thanks for the review! I'm glad you liked the update.

Doralupin86: Thanks for the review! Audrey loves Jason and she proved that by granting permission on the proposal. Sam's pregnancy will be explored in the next chapter.

Chapter 24

(Jason goes to Sonny's. He goes through the front door and into the living room where he sees Sonny getting himself a drink. He looks at his friend)

Jason: "Is he here?"

Sonny: (nodding) "He's in the other room. I told him you wanted to talk to him. Are you sure you wanna hear the details of Sam's indiscretions from Max?"

Jason: (nods) "Absolutely. I wanna know every little thing she's done. Sounds like Max knows a lot."

Sonny: "From the sounds of it, yeah he witnessed a lot. He knew it was wrong to agree to keep it a secret, but with Sam's charms and insisting it wouldn't happen again…"

Jason: (sighs) "He's right. Sam did know how to turn on the charms." (shakes his head) "But no more. It stops now. Bring in Max."

Sonny: (nodding) "You got it."

(Sonny takes a drink of his vodka drink before going out to the study and yells for Max. Sonny comes back into the living room and sits down on his sofa. Max comes in shortly after and looks at Sonny)

Max: "You wanted to see me, boss?"

Sonny: (shakes his head) "Not me." (points at Jason) "He does."

(Max turns around to see Jason, whose looking at him right in the eyes)

Max: "Jason, hey. What's up?"

Jason: "Did Sonny tell you I wanted to talk to you?"

Max: (nods) "Yes, he did. You wanted to talk about Sam, about what I know."

Jason: "First off, who's watching Elizabeth while you're here?"

Max: "It's one of the new guards you and Sonny hired a few years ago."

Jason: (confused) "Who is he again?"

Max: (raises his eyebrows & laughs) "Losing your memory, boss? Didn't think you were that old, although Sonny still beats you."

(Max continues to laugh until he sees Jason's eyes glaring at him. He immediately stops laughing and clears his throat)

Jason: "Are you done?"

Max: "Sorry boss." (shrugs) "I thought it was funny, anyway."

(Jason walks to Max with anger in his eyes)

Jason: "Do I look like I'm laughing?"

Max: (shakes his head quickly) "No, sir."

Sonny: "Answer any questions Jason has, Max. Got it?"

Max: (nods) "Yes, Sonny."

Sonny: "Now, answer Jason's question on the guard that's watching Elizabeth while you're here."

Max: "His name is Evan Ashbook and he's good with computers."

Jason: (confused) "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

Max: "He offered his services to us with any computer issues we ever have."

Jason: (shakes his head confused) "Why do we need help when we already have Johnny handling it?"

Max: "I didn't say Evan was. I said he offered."

Jason: "Yeah, well, the answer is no. If they're not investigated extensively and I don't agree with it, they won't be a part of it."

Sonny: "I trust Jason, Max, so if he says no, there's your answer."

Max: (nods) "Got it."

Jason:" Now, back to the matter at hand. Sonny told me about Sam putting the moves on you as well as other guys at Jake's when she got wasted?"

Max: (nods) "That's right, Jason." (putting his hands up & down) "I-I hope you know that I would never do anything with Samantha McCall. I was merely trying to make sure she didn't get into mischief. I mean, you know what she's like when she'd had too much to drink."

(Jason sighs deeply and nods in defeat)

Jason: "Yeah, unfortunately, I do. I made the mistake in getting involved with her. I should've known what a slut and a bitch she was." (shakes his head) "I was a damn idiot to put it bluntly and now I'm paying for it. I got her pregnant and now I'm stuck with her."

Sonny: (shakes his head) "No, Jason, you're not stuck with her." (nodding a little) "Yeah, she may be pregnant, but you don't know for sure the kid's yours."

Max: (nodding) "Yeah, I mean, with the amount of sleeping around she probably did, I wouldn't be surprised if a dozen possible fathers were out there."

Jason: "We'll discuss the pregnancy topic in a minute. I wanna know what happened the night you were with Sam at the bar. I'm guessing at Jake's, right?"

Max: (nodding) "Yeah."

Jason: "Tell me what happened that night."

Max: (sighs a little) "You may not like it."

Jason: (scoffs) "Of course I'm not gonna like it. But I want to hear it…all of it."

(As Max is telling Jason about the night at Jake's, he has a flashback of it)

***Flashback***

(Sam walks angrily into Jake's with Max behind her)

Sam: "Ugh! I can't believe him!"

Max: (confused) "Who?"

(Sam angrily turns around to face Max)

Sam: "Who the hell do you think?"

Max: "I'm not a mind reader, Sam."

(Sam shakes her head in disbelief)

Sam: "Jason! Who the hell else am I talking about?"

Max: "I don't know why you're so mad at him. He didn't say anything when I talked to him earlier."

Sam: (glares at Max) "Have you ever known Jason to speak up about his feelings?" (shakes her head) "No, you don't."

Max: (shrugs) "Okay, well, what didn't he say that pissed you off?"

(Sam angrily goes to the table closest to her that has two chairs and sits down with Max sitting down across from her)

Sam: "Jason and I have been together a long time, Max. Usually when couples have been together a long time, they take the next step."

(Max looks at Sam weirdly before speaking)

Max: "You mean getting engaged?"

Sam: (rolls her eyes) "Well, I was talking about him asking me to move in with him, but no, he hasn't asked me to marry him, either."

Max: (shakes his head) "Well, Sam, maybe Jason isn't ready yet. Every guy moves at a different speed."

Sam: (scoffs) "How the hell can he not be ready yet, Max?! I'm this close to cutting him loose!"

(A bartender comes to them and asked them if they want anything)

Max: (shakes his head) "No, thanks."

Sam: "Tequila, please. Make it two glasses."

Bartender: (nods) "Okay."

(The bartender leaves and Max looks at Sam with concern in his face)

Max: "Sam, a-are you sure you wanna drink that? I've seen you drunk before and it's not a pretty sight."

Sam: (shrugs) "So leave then, Max. No one's keeping you here."

Max: (gives her a look) "You know damn well Jason and Sonny hired me to keep an eye on you. If I leave, I'm dead. They trusted me to watch you and keep you safe, and that's what I intend to do."

(The bartender comes back with Sam's glasses of tequila)

Bartender: "Here we are. Let me know if you need anything else."

Sam: (nods & smiles) "Thanks, Nick."

Nick: (smiles) "No problem, Sam."

(After Nick leaves, Max looks at Sam in shock)

Max: "You know him?"

(After Sam takes a drink, she looks at Max)

Sam: (nods) "Yeah. He and I go way back. He's a good friend of mine."

(Sam finishes one glass and takes a drink of the other and gulps it down)

Max: "Whoa, Sam, take it easy! You may not care what happened last time you drank tequila, but I do."

Sam: "Oh, you do, huh?"

Max: (rolls his eyes) "How could I forget? Every time you drink tequila, you get completely wasted and make a fool out of yourself."

Sam: (chuckles) "Aren't you exaggerating just a little bit, Max? I may get a little drunk, but…."

Max: (interrupting angrily) "A little drunk? The last time you got drunk you hit on a stranger here! You may have been on the outs with Jason, but you weren't completely broken up."

Sam: "Have you lost your memory? Jason broke up with me. How can I be with someone who doesn't accept me for me?"

Max: (raises his eyebrows) "If you mean because when you drink you throw fits and blame everyone for your problems…"

Sam: "I love Jason, Max. But, do you think he's ever said it back? We've been together all this time and he's never once said the words. How can I be with someone who doesn't feel the same way?"

(Sam signals for the bartender to come over, which he does. She asks for a bottle of tequila. As the bartender nods and gets a bottle, Max folds his arms and shakes his head in disappointment, which Sam notices)

Sam: "What's up your ass?"

Max: "You know what, Sam."

Sam: (shrugs) "You're free to leave."

Max: "You know I can't."

(The bartender brings Sam a bottle of tequila. Sam pours some into her glass. She points her full glass at Max)

Sam: "Cheers."

(Sam takes a drink. After three hours of drinking, Max angrily stares at Sam, who's completely wasted. She moves around in her chair wobbly and is about to stand up when she falls off her chair. Max gets off his chair and helps her up)

Max: "See, I told you what would happen if you drank the stuff. You know better, Sam. I should have called Jason or Sonny right away."

Sam: (slurs) "No, don't. I'm okay."

(Max looks at her in disbelief)

Max: "How are you okay? You're drunk, Sam! You can't even stand up on your own!"

(Sam laughs as she looks at Max and puts her hands on his shoulders)

Sam: (jokingly) "So serious."

Max: "That's it. Get your coat. We're leaving."

Sam: (scoffs) "Back to what, Max? Jason doesn't care about me. He never did. He only cares about one person." (angrily) "Hell, there's only ever been one person he's ever cared about!"

Max: (confused) "Who's that?"

Sam: (angrily) "That bitch Lizzie Webber."

Max: (leans back a little confused) "Elizabeth Webber?"

Sam: (gives him a look) "Who else would I be talking about?"

Max: "Sam, Elizabeth is in Chicago. How is she a threat to you if she's not here?"

Sam: (shakes her head) "She's always been a threat. Does he think I don't see him a million miles away thinking about her? Someone's gotta teach her a lesson. Someday I will."

Max: (sighs) "Come on. I'll help you get home."

(Sam giggles as she puts her arms around Max. Max looks at her like she's lost her mind)

Max: "S-Sam, what-what are you doing?"

Sam: "You're cute, Max. Has anyone ever told you that?"

(Max tries to take her hands off him, but she continues to giggle)

Sam: "You deserve someone nice, Max."

Max: "Yeah, well, she isn't you."

(All of a sudden, Sam leans in and tries to kiss Max, who quickly grabs her arms and pulls her away from him but still has her so she doesn't lose her balance)

Max: (angrily) "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

Sam: (teasingly) "Oh, come on, Max! Don't tell me you've never thought about kissing me."

Max: (clearly) "No, I haven't. We're leaving now and you can sleep it off at your place."

(As Max grabs her and takes her outside, she sees two strangers walk past her)

Sam: (laughing) "Hey guys! Wanna have some fun tonight?"

(As Max is dragging Sam out he looks at the guys)

Max: "No, she doesn't. If you know what's good for you, you'll keep walking."

(The guys look at them weirdly as they walk to a table. After Max brings Sam to her place, he's about to leave when she calls out his name)

Sam: "I-I'm sorry, Max. I didn't mean to make a fool out of myself."

(Max turns around angrily at Sam)

Max: "Well, you did. First thing in the morning, I'm going to Jason."

(Sam looks worriedly at Max)

Sam: "No! No, Max! Please! I'm begging you! Jason will break u p with me! I love him."

Max: (shakes his head & scoffs) "You know, for someone who couldn't stand him an hour ago, you sure changed your mind fast."

Sam: (sighs) "You know me, Max. I tend to say things I don't mean. Please?"

Max: (sighs deeply) "Fine. But if it happens again, I'm going to him. You know he hates secrets."

Sam: (smiles & nods) "Thanks, Max."

(Max shakes his head in disappointment as he walks out)

***End Flashback***

(As Max finishes, Jason and Sonny looks at him in amazement)

Sonny: (to Jason) "What do you think?"

(Jason's face is bright red and full of rage)

Jason: "Did you leave anything out? Or is this all it?"

Max: (nodding) "It's all there, Jason. I promise."

(Max looks at Jason apologically)

Max: "Jason, I-I-I-I'm so sorry for everything. I tried my best to get her to drop drinking and stop making a fool out of herself."

(Jason looks around t he room and sees Sonny's liquor table and goes to it. He looks angrily before shouting as he flips it over. Max looks like he's about to go to Jason to comfort him, but Sonny puts his hand in front of him, stopping him and shaking his head. He looks back at Jason)

Sonny: "Jase , are you okay, buddy?"

(Jason is still staring angrily at the flipped over table and speaks through gritted teeth)

Jason: "I'm fine." (shakes his head angrily) "That bitch."

(Jason finally looks at Sonny and Max)

Jason: "If it wasn't for the pregnancy, I'd have no problem killing her."

Sonny: (shakes his head) "I knew how demented she was, but by hearing about that night just now…the whole thing…she just proved how psychotic she really is."

Jason: "After all this time of going through fight after fight, I know now why she had all this rage."

(Jake walks slowly to Sonny and Milo)

Jason: "She knew how I truly felt about Elizabeth."

Sonny: "All of us could tell how you felt about her, Jase. But-But we never knew Sam had that much resentment over it." (shakes his head in shock) "I guess some people are better at hiding things than others."

Jason: "What I don't understand is, if she felt this way, why didn't she ever say anything? I mean, she never told me or given me any indication of this until just recently when we were out to eat and we saw Spencer and Elizabeth there."

Sonny: "My guess is she wanted to try hanging onto you…" (scoffs) "…even though you loved Elizabeth." (shakes his head) "Not sure why people do that. You know, try hold onto people like that."

Max: "What are you gonna do, Jason?"

(Jason looks straight ahead for a few minutes before he looks at Max and Sonny angrily)

Jason: "I think it's time I spoke to Sam about her little flirtations."

(Max shakes his head in fear)

Max: "Oh, boy, I'd hate to be in anyone's place when you get that look."

Jason: "Sam has a doctor's appointment today. She doesn't know that I'm going to it."

Sonny: "What if she doesn't agree to the DNA test?"

Jason: "With what I just found out, let her try. She knows not to mess with me."

(Jason leaves the house, leaving Sonny and Max to wonder what their friend is planning)

Max: "Something tells me it's not gonna be pretty."

Sonny: (raises his eyebrows) "With Jason, it never is."

I hope you liked the chapter. I apologize for not putting in Elizabeth in it, but I've been wanting to write the scene where Max finally tells Jason about that night Sam put the moves on him and got wasted, but needed to figure out when to do it. Next chapter, we will see Jason at Sam's doctor's appointment and him confronting her about his discovery. I hope you will review so I know what you think. Thanks for the reviews/follows/favorites! Until next time!
