Epilogue
Port Charles, New York – June 19, 2014
A year and two months ago Sam had given birth to a little girl, and they named her Lila Morgan. They had decided to call the baby Lila after Jason's grandmother deceased, a couple of years ago.
After Jason had killed Ken he had gotten into some trouble with Sonny because he wanted to leave the mob, but Sonny had decided he didn't want to let Jason go just yet. Carly and Sam had mediated and after a couple of conversations and discussions Sonny had agreed to sign over the coffee business to Jason. Jason was happy with it; because this way he could spend more time with his family, and when he got called away it didn't take him long to come home again.

Sam woke up and smiled when she noticed Jason was still sleeping. She stepped out of the bed and walked over to the nursery, and her heart melted at the sight of her daughter. Lila doted on her father, but whenever she saw her mother she would want Sam to hold her. Sam softly closed the door again and walked downstairs, where she made coffee for Jason. She couldn't drink coffee anymore, because this time she had a surprised for Jason in their anniversary. She had found out a couple of days ago she was pregnant again, and this time she was sure he would love it. She made some tea for herself and started setting the table for when Jason came down. They had a morning routine for when Lila would wake up – Jason would make Sam and him breakfast while Sam fed Lila, and sometimes it happened to be the other way around. It didn't happen much, but lately it happened more often.
''Morning baby,'' she heard Jason's voice, and she turned around with a smile on her face. ''How did you sleep?'' he asked her, as he rubbed his eyes and walked over to her. He pulled her in his arms and kissed her gently, and she melted into his embrace.
''I slept like a rose, how about you?'' she asked, and he smiled and nodded. ''Well, you know I planned something for us tonight so you have to be there,'' she suddenly said, and he frowned.
''You planned something for us? What for?'' he asked, and she looked up at him. She didn't understand how he could forget. Then she saw the laughter in his eyes and she shook her head and smiled. ''I'm sorry – I do remember what today is,'' he added, and she nodded.
''You better,'' she said jokingly, and he laughed softly. Then he stopped and he turned around.
''I'm going to get her out of the bed,'' he said, and she nodded while he ran up the stairs. When he came down she had poured him a cup of coffee, and he smiled at her as he handed her Lila.
''Hey baby – did you sleep ok?'' she asked her daughter, who cooed and smiled at her. Sam sat Lila in the kitchen chair and went through her hair with her hand. ''Jason, can you make some toast for me?'' she asked, and Jason nodded and frowned.
''After you had Lila you never ate toast anymore – are you ok – do you feel sick?'' he asked her concerned, and she nodded.
''Yeah, a little nauseas,'' she said softly, and he nodded. He started making her toast as she readied some food for Lila.
#####
Alexis had picked up Lila after breakfast. Ever since Sam had given birth Alexis had turned around and she loved her grandbaby. Jason still didn't like Alexis, but he had accepted the fact she was a part of their daughters life, and he didn't say anything to Alexis that would hurt Sam or Lila.
As Jason turned the shower off he smiled when he thought of the past couple of months. Lila had begun to get more and more lovely, and he couldn't keep his eyes and hands off of her. He loved her and Sam with all his heart, and he would do anything for them. If anything would happen to either of them, he wouldn't know what to do, and he had made sure he wouldn't let anything happen to them. They were under Sonny's protection, and he could protect them himself too. He still carried his gun, because even though he was out of the mob, he still could be a target and he had made a lot of enemies himself.
He dried himself off and got dressed – he didn't know what Sam had planned but he knew it would be big. He smiled, as he saw Sam getting ready in the bedroom. He knew they would go out to dinner, and he couldn't think of any other way to spend time with her and her alone. Ever since Lila had been born they didn't have a lot of time together and even though he didn't mind, he looked forwards to spending some time with Sam alone. Even if it was just for one night.
''Are you ready?'' she suddenly asked him, and he nodded and turned around again to step into the bedroom. ''Great – let's go,'' she said, and he smiled and took a hold of her hand. She followed him to his car, but stopped him from stepping in the drivers seat. ''I'm driving,'' she told him, and he nodded with a smile. He didn't even know where they were going.
#####
Sam drove to the Metro Court where she had made a reservation for Jason and her. She knew Carly and Sonny would come and eat with them, because they had told her they would and they didn't think about what day it was. Jason smiled when he saw where se stopped, and helped her get out when she had parked the car.
''I thought something like this was the plan tonight – and I'm sure Carly and Sonny have invited themselves too,'' he said, and she nodded and looked at him apologetically.
''I'm sorry but I couldn't say anything about it,'' she said, and he smiled and shook his head.
''It's ok. I don't mind because I've had enough nights with you and I know I'll have more to come,'' he replied, and she smiled at him. She couldn't wait to tell him she was pregnant again, and she decided to tell Carly and Sonny right away.
''That's great,'' she whispered, and he smiled. He led her to the dining room and smiled when they didn't even have to ask for the table. Sam had made sure they didn't ask anything but just showed them the table, and she knew Carly had something to do with that too. They sat down at a table on the far end of the room, and she smiled when she saw the tables around them empty.
''Look at this,'' she heard Jason whisper, and she looked at him and at the table and saw a rose on it. ''It's Carly's – I just know it,'' he added, and she smiled and nodded. There was a note saying 'happy anniversary' on the table and when Sam sat down, Jason scooted her chair under the table.
''Thank you,'' Sam said softly, as Jason sat down and smiled at her. ''I didn't plan on this dinner to be a double date, but it's also the day we first saw you when you returned to Port Charles after 6 months,'' she told him, and he nodded. Jason remembered that day vividly.
''I remember that – at that point I didn't know I would end up like this – so much in love with my wife and daughter,'' he replied, and he smiled at her when he saw tears in her eyes. ''I love you so, so much, Sam,'' he whispered, and she smiled.
''I love you too, Jason so much,'' she replied. A waiter came and took their orders, and Sam was surprised Carly and Sonny hadn't shown up yet. She saw Jason looking around and knew he was waiting for them to show up at any time, but they didn't and he relaxed.
''I'm hoping for an hour alone with you at least,'' he said softly, and she smiled and nodded. ''You know I was thinking about when Lila was born today. I don't know why but it popped in my head and I couldn't get it out,'' he told her, and she nodded.
''It was quite a day, huh?'' she said and when he nodded, she added, ''I was kind of glad she was finally out after all those hours – though if I could go back I wouldn't want it any other way,'' she added, and he smiled.
''I wanted to take that pain away from you – you took a whole day for it. I heard somewhere that the second child tends to be born way faster,'' he told her, and she nodded. She had heard that too, and she was relieved she didn't have to go through that again.
''I heard something like that too,'' she replied, and he smiled. ''I remember the first time I saw you walking in with her in your arms. I couldn't stop smiling and you were so gentle with her – and you still are,'' she added, and he smiled.
''I know – but I also know what she did with you – you softened just like me. I can't wait until you tell me you're pregnant again,'' he whispered, and she blushed and smiled. She took a deep breath and looked him in his eyes.
''You don't have to wait for that,'' she whispered softly, and at first he frowned, but then he suddenly widened his eyes and she could see he realized what she was talking about.
''Are you…'' he said, his voice fading when she nodded and he jumped up and pulled her up too. He held her tight and laughed. ''This is the most amazing news I've had in a long time – I mean… You know what I mean,'' he rambled, and she nodded and pressed her face in his neck.
''I know what you mean,'' she whispered, and he nodded. He sat her down again and sat down next to her.
''I can't – wow,'' he said, speechless. She smiled at him and nodded. ''You know when you told me about Lila you didn't know what I would think but this time – oh this time is great,'' he rambled on. ''I love you so much, Sam,'' he said, and he kissed her again. ''You knew a couple of days right – because you've been drinking tea again and laid off of the coffee,'' he said, and when she nodded he laughed.
''I knew – I wanted to tell you when I was really sure but then I thought I would tell it tonight,'' she told him, and he nodded. ''When I found out I stopped drinking coffee and I knew you would notice it, but you didn't say anything about it,'' she added, and he smiled.
''I didn't know – I didn't connect the dots,'' he said, and she smiled. ''Look at that,'' he suddenly said, and when Sam turned around she saw Carly and Sonny walk towards the table. Jason got up and waited for Carly to wrap her arms around him in a hug, and Sonny nodded at both of them in greeting. Carly hugged Sam and smiled.
''You know we were planning on getting here sooner – but we couldn't and we ordered something before we left,'' Carly rambled, and Sam nodded with a smile as she sat down. Jason sat down next to her as Sonny and Carly sat down opposite of them. Jason was a little disappointed that they still had showed up, but he didn't really care that much when he saw the smile on Sam's face.
''Well, it's ok because Jason and I had some things to discuss,'' Sam said, and Carly widened her eyes and waited for Sam to tell her, but when the food came and Sam started to eat and smiled at Jason, Carly knew it would be a long wait.
#####
Sam smiled when Carly ordered them all a coffee after dinner, and she stopped the waiter, ''no coffee for me, I just want ice cream,'' she told him, and Carly frowned and sighed.
''Why are you not drinking coffee – you are unbelievable,'' Carly said, and Sam shrugged. She looked at Jason who nodded with a smile and then she looked back at Carly.
''Well, you know how coffee is bad when you're pregnant,'' she said, and she watched Carly widen her eyes and began to squeal, and she laughed softly.
''You're pregnant! That's great news,'' Carly exclaimed, and Sam and Jason nodded. ''No really I mean after everything you guys went through and all I am happy for you!''
''Thanks, Carly – Jason, Sam, congratulations,'' Sonny budged in, and Sam smiled at him. She was glad both of them liked the idea of another baby, and she couldn't stop smiling. The coffee and ice cream came after a couple of minutes, and Sam started eating her ice as she listened to Sonny and Jason talk. She loved the way they were still best friends after all this time and they could still talk all night even though they didn't talk about the mob again. After she had given birth to Lila Jason and Carly had become closer again too.
''I'm full,'' Sam said suddenly, and Jason turned and smiled at her. ''And tired,'' she added, and he nodded.
''Same here – even though we didn't do much today I'm exhausted,'' he replied, and Sonny nodded and Carly sighed.
''Why don't you go home? I know Alexis has Lila for the night so you can sleep in and all,'' she said, and then she got up and waved the waiter over. She asked for the bill and they waited for a moment before he returned.
''I'll pay,'' Sonny said, and even after protests of Jason and Sam he paid, and Sam thanked him. ''It's ok – we interrupted it and I felt like I had to pay for it,'' he said with a wink, and Jason smiled.
''Now go home and we'll see you guys tomorrow,'' Carly said, and Sam and Jason got up and said goodbye. They walked back to the car and smiled all the way home, silence in the car but comfortable.
#####
''It's a little weird, without Lila in the house,'' Sam whispered when they were in the bed after taking a shower together. She could feel Jason nod and smiled. ''I'm looking forward to this baby – just like I did when I was pregnant with Lila,'' she told him, and he smiled.
''Same here, I mean I didn't – yeah I felt the same way with Lila when you told me you were pregnant, and this time I'm going to be there all the way,'' he said, and she nodded.
''You were there the last time – all the way – the only difference is this baby wasn't conceived in attempt to get me to spill the bens on your kidnapping,'' she said, and he sighed.
''I know and I'm still sorry about that,'' he said softly, and she shook her head.
''Don't, because I'm not, and I don't want you to either,'' she said, and he kissed her softly. ''I love you, Jason,'' she whispered, and Jason smiled.
''I love you too,'' he whispered back, and he felt her fall asleep. He felt his heart melt thinking about her being pregnant again, and he couldn't help but smile. He was getting the family he always wanted – even if he didn't know it – and he knew Sam felt the same way. This was the life, he thought, just before he fell asleep.
