"Fair Samantha! Stone Cold!" Spinelli yelled as he knocked on the door. "It is your dearest friend who is highly concerned after discovering the events that unfolded last night from Maximista, who found out from the Original Blonde One who was told by her husband, the Badged Betrayer!"

"It's too early for him," Jason groaned as he stumbled down the stairs, Sam right behind him.

"He's not going to go away unless you answer the door," Sam said, a yawn breaking up her sentence.

"It's early, Spinelli," Jason said as he opened the door and let him in.

"My apologies, but I was concerned about the welfare of my dearest friends and godchild. Additionally, I am not accustomed to Stone Cold being such a late riser these days."

"Jason's going to make breakfast, stay and hang out," Sam said, waving him over to have him join her on the couch. "We're all okay, thanks for being worried."

"I heard Young Daniel has a cast on his arm. I'm sorry he has been injured so," Spinelli said sadly. "However, if I may be so bold to ask, can I sign his cast?"

"I'm sure he'd love that," Sam said with a laugh.

"Wonderful! I brought markers," Spinelli said, dumping out a ton of markers on the coffee table. "How is everything else?"

"I'm fine, the baby is fine. Just a very scary day yesterday," Sam said.

"I was also informed by Maximista about a slight disagreement between you and Stone Cold yesterday?" Spinelli said quietly. "Robin was across the hall for a girl's night, so I was told."

"A lot of unresolved stuff that needs to be out in the open, and it just came out yesterday," Sam said. "You know how he acted when he found out who he really was after living as Jake Doe for a year. He dismissed all of us like we meant nothing to him. It was more difficult knowing that the man I loved and shared all these amazing memories with refused to hear me out than knowing that he didn't remember them. I understood it was confusing for him, it just hurt knowing that our past life meant nothing to him because he forged a new one."

"I would have to agree with you on that," Spinelli said with a sad smile. "His unwillingness to reacquaint himself with the people of his past once his identity was revealed was more painful than him not remembering altogether."

"Mommy," Danny yelled from upstairs. Sam excused herself and went to get him.

"Good morning," she said as she sat down on his bed, running her fingers through his hair. "Daddy's making breakfast and Spinelli is here. You can come downstairs or stay in bed, whatever you want to do."

"My arm is itchy, he said, pointing to his cast. "I don't want it on anymore."

"I know, baby, but it's going to make you better. If you come downstairs, Spinelli has a surprise for you."

"Okay," he said with a small nod as he climb out of bed and tried to fix his pajamas with one hand but he was having trouble.

"I got it," Sam said, helping him out. "You'll get used to the cast."

"Uncle Lucas let me pick the color," Danny said as they walked downstairs. "He looked all over for all the different colors they had."

"Is blue your favorite color?"

"I think so," he said with a shrug. "Spinelli!"

"Danny!" Spinelli said just as enthusiastically. "That is a pretty spectacular cast."

"Really?"

"Absolutely," he nodded. "Want to know what's cool about casts?"

"Yeah!"

"You can write on them. You can have people sign them and draw pictures," Spinelli said and Danny looked at him in amazement. "I brought the necessary supplies for it."

"Let's do it!"

"After breakfast," Sam said, pulling Danny close. "And Mom gets to sign it first."

"Dad too!" Jason chimed in as he set the table.

"It was my idea, but I'll allow it," Spinelli said. "Pancakes?"

"Yay, pancakes!" Danny said as he ran over to the table.

"Looks good," Sam said when she walked over to Jason. He put his arm around her waist, but she didn't lean into him like she usually does. "I'm going to stop by Wyndemere later to see Nikolas."

"Okay," he said. "Do you want to talk tonight?"

"Um, maybe," she said, moving away from him to sit down. She knew they had to talk and since she was the one who brought it up, it wouldn't be fair of her to push it off. She was scared of what would happen. "Danny, Grandma Monica wanted to know how you were feeling. Do you want to go there tonight?"

"Yeah," he said. "Maybe I can have cookies for dinner there."

"They might make an exception," Jason said with a smile, knowing that was Sam's way of saying she was okay with talking about what happened tonight.

"I'm going to go over to Nikolas's house today too. Do you want to come with me to see Spencer, and then I'll bring you by Grandma's?"

"Okay," he nodded, shoving the last of his pancakes in his mouth. "Can I go pick out what toys I want to bring?"

"Finishing chewing, and then you can go," Jason said. "Be careful with your arm."

"Wait!" Spinelli yelled out. "We have to decorate his arm shield."

"Arm shield?" Jason repeated and shook his head. "Fine, Sam goes first."

"Obviously," she said with a smile as she grabbed a marker and wrote 'Mom' on the arm, then drew a heart around it. She handed the marker to Jason, who wrote 'Dad' next to what Sam drew. "That's all your putting?"

"I'm not artsy like you. Besides, it looks like he has a biker tattoo on his cast."

"Fitting since his dad is a biker," Sam said with a smirk as she began to doodle.

"Save some room for me," Spinelli said with a pout. "'Twas my idea, after all."

"This is so cool," Danny said as Spinelli finished up his drawing. "Can everyone do this?"

"If they want to," Sam said. "Now go get your stuff together."

"May I ask why Young Daniel was the chosen one to be taken?" Spinelli asked once Danny was upstairs.

"Because of us," Jason said with a sigh. "There's been this weird obsession with having a Cassadine-Quartermaine child and that's Danny."

"But Noble Emily and the Dashing Detective's union would have also produced a child of the same heritage – a Cassamaine, if you will."

"Cassamaine," Sam said with a laugh. "Emily isn't a Quartermaine by blood, that's the problem, isn't it?"

"Yeah, bloodline is everything," Jason said with a roll of his eyes as he repeated what Obrecht told him. "And because Alan cheated on Monica, and Mikkos cheated on Helena, and we both came from affairs, we're that much more special."

"All is well now? Dr. Demented is finally behind bars, the Vicious One has been long dead. Everything should be quiet so you both can prepare for your upcoming nuptials as well as the new mini Stone Cold or mini Fair Samantha on the way."

"I need you to find out if Victor Cassadine is still alive. Obrecht made it sound like he was."

"I will conduct that search right away," Spinelli said with a nod. "Once I make a discovery, I'll inform you immediately."

"Thanks," Jason said, waiting for Spinelli to leave to talk to Sam. "So, tonight?"

"Tonight," she nodded, reaching out for his hand. "You have anything to do this afternoon?"

"I was going to stop by Sonny's to talk to Carly. She called last night, but I wasn't in the mood to talk."

"Rafe went to PCU with Molly and Kristina to finalize everything and find out what he needs. I told him I'd take him shopping tomorrow for stuff," Sam said. "He's going to stay with Kiki and Dillon tonight."

"I didn't even hear him leave this morning."

"I caught him when I was on my way to the bathroom. He was going to leave a note, he didn't want to wake us," she said, getting up to start cleaning. "He's been doing really well, I'm happy for him."

"Yeah, he's a good kid," Jason agreed. "I'll clean up, go get dressed."

"Are you sure? I want to help."

"I can wash off a couple of dishes," he said, pulling her close and feeling grateful when she didn't pull away. "We're gonna figure everything out so we can finally have some peace."

"I know," she nodded, reaching up to kiss him. "We always do."

Sam and Danny walked up to Wyndemere, Danny pouting over the sling he had to wear that Lucas had dropped off before they left. Sam knew that sling wasn't going to last very long.

"Mommy, I can't move my arm," Danny complained as Sam knocked on the door.

"I know, that's because you're not supposed to," she explained again. "Your arm is really hurt right now and Uncle Lucas wants to make sure everything heals the best it can so you'll be all better and your arm will be back to normal."

"Still annoying," he grumbled.

"Sam, it's good to see you, Laura said when she opened the door. "Hi Danny."

"Hi," he said quietly.

"He's not too happy today," Sam explained as they walked inside. "Is Nikolas home? I was hoping to talk to him."

"He's in the living room with Spencer," Laura said. "He told me what happened, that's terrible. I'm so glad you all are okay."

"Thank you," Sam said before walking into the living room, where Nikolas and Spencer were playing cards.

"Any threes?" Nikolas asked.

"Go fish, Father," Spencer said smugly. Danny walked up behind him and laughed, seeing that Spencer did have a three.

"He plays cards like Aunt Tracy," Danny said through his laughter.

"We'll start over later," Nikolas said, rolling his eyes at his son. "Hey, what brings you two by?"

"I wanted to say thank you," Sam said as she sat down on the couch. "You helped get Danny back, I can't tell you how much that means to me."

"Once Spencer said the boy looked like Danny and that wasn't you, I couldn't not try to help," he said, looking over at Danny and frowning when he noticed his cast. "She broke his arm?"

"Yeah," Sam said sadly. "When she grabbed him, he must have resisted and it's fractured in a couple of spots."

"I'm so sorry."

"He wants everyone to sign his cast," Sam said, a small smile on her face as she looked over and saw Spencer drawing on Danny's cast. "Spinelli got him excited over that."

"That's good, I'd love to sign it, if he wants me to," Nikolas said. "Lucky told me what happened at the PCPD. That's an insane reason to take him."

"I know," she sighed. "They're going to have two perfect Cassamaine children."

"Cassamaine?"

"Another Spinelli-ism," Sam said with a shake of her head. "Even if you and Emily did have a child, it wouldn't have been what they wanted."

"I'm trying to find out why exactly."

"I don't think there is a real reason for it, I think they're just crazy," Sam said with a shrug. "Any one of the Quartermaine's can inherit the fortune, and Michael is the one running ELQ where it all came from. Why my son?"

"I don't know," he said, wishing he had an answer. "I would like to know before you have your baby and give them a second child to target."

"This is a mess," Sam said with a groan. "Obrecht is going to prison, but apparently she made it sound like Victor Cassadine is still alive. I won't feel comfortable until everyone involved is either truly dead or locked up."

"Me either," Nikolas agreed. "Do you have any suspicions about Valentin?"

"He's been helpful this whole time, and he says he's the one who killed Helena, so I don't know. Do you?"

"I just find it strange how it was rumored that Helena feared him the most, but he comes to Port Charles and just wants to work in the hospital under an alias? Something's not right."

"I can have Spinelli look into it, he's looking into Victor, but we barely found anything on Valentin. Robin is how we figured it all out."

"I'll see what I can find out. My family's employees have begun to warm up to me again now that Helena's been dead for a while."

"Just be careful. Valentin still has some pull," Sam said as she stood up. "Let me know what you find out."

"I will," he said, standing up as well. "Would you two like to stay for lunch?"

"I have to bring him over to Monica's, he's been asking for cookies all morning," Sam said. "Maybe another day."

"Sounds good," he said, happy that they were back on good terms. "Did you know Elizabeth and Franco were friends?"

"Kristina saw them talking one day when she was at the hospital," Sam said. "I don't know, that's a lot of crazy there."

"I had to stop up by the hospital this morning to take care of some business and I saw him comforting her."

"Probably because Jason kicked her out last night. She heard us fighting in the hospital yesterday and decided to come by the penthouse to comfort him," Sam said, rolling her eyes. "She's pathetic."

"She doesn't learn," Nikolas said with a sigh, feeling sorry for his old friend.

"Nikolas, will you sign it?" Danny asked, holding his arm up as high as it could go.

"I would be honored," Nikolas said, taking the marker from Spencer.

"Thanks for helping my dad save me from the crazy lady," Danny said.

"I'm glad you're okay," Nikolas said, giving Danny a hug. "Once your arm is better, maybe you can help me convince Spencer over here to try out a sport."

"Baseball is fun," Danny said, looking over at Spencer who's face was less than thrilled.

"We'll see," Spencer said, obviously not wanting to do it.

"Come on, Danny. Time to go to Grandma's," Sam said. "Put your sling back on."

"Cookies!" Danny yelled, running for the door without his sling.

"He's so stubborn," Sam said with a sigh as she followed him out.

"Takes after his parents," Nikolas said with a smirk.

"Why didn't you call me back and tell me what happened!" Carly said as she opened the door before Jason even had a chance to knock, spotting him on the security cameras.

"I was a little preoccupied yesterday," he said, stepping inside. "That's why I'm here today, to tell you what happened."

"But I already know what happened. Kristina came here freaking out after Alexis told her," Carly said. "I always find out everything through other people."

"You done?" he asked, following her into the living room where Sonny was on the phone.

"Yeah, sorry. You know me, gotta get my selfish rant out of the way before I can be a normal person," she said with a sigh. "How are Danny and Sam doing? How are you doing?"

"They're okay. Danny's arm is fractured from when Obrecht pulled him, so he's got a cast on now."

"That's horrible," Carly said. "And Sam? Kristina said she passed out. Is the baby okay?"

"They're both fine, but I was nervous when I saw Patrick carrying her out to the ambulance."

"I couldn't imagine how you felt," Carly said sympathetically. "Why are you here and not home with them?"

"Funny how she does a complete 180, isn't it," Sonny said with a smirk once he hung up. "I'm glad they're both okay."

"Thank you," Jason said. "Sam's dropping Danny off at Monica's."

"I'm surprised you let them out of your sight."

"Well," Jason sighed. "Sam's kind of pissed at me."

"For what now?"

"For how I handled things when you told me who I was."

"Oh, it took her this long to finally say something? I'm surprised," Carly said and Jason gave her a look, not expecting that response. "I'm sorry, I love you, but you were such an ass to her once you found out you were Jason Morgan and not Jake Doe."

"I know I didn't handle it well, I found out I had this entire life here in Port Charles with people I knew. How would you handle it?"

"I don't know, but hopefully better than you did," Carly scoffed.

"Was it really that bad?" Jason asked, looking at Sonny for help.

"You made assumptions based upon things others told you and continued to believe those assumptions," Sonny said. "The Jason I knew never made assumptions about people. He let them prove themselves and make their own mistakes. He wasn't judgmental."

"I'm sorry," he said, thinking back to how he was wrong about how Sonny and him became friends.

"I'm not just speaking of myself, you made assumptions about what Sam wanted without talking to her first," Sonny said. "She stopped by a few nights after you were supposed to marry Elizabeth and said how she dropped off your bike."

"Yeah, she told me it was mine, and that a lot of things were mine," Jason said, remembering how confused he felt after that, and how it felt strange going back to Elizabeth's bed. He ended up sleeping on the couch that night.

"She was worried about how that sounded to you and stressed over it," Sonny said and Carly agreed, remembering when Sam had come by.

"She didn't want to push you to think she wanted to jump back into being married. She was still in love with Patrick and wanted the life they planned, but was so in love with you that she couldn't imagine being with another man knowing you were alive and you two weren't given another shot," Carly said. "She wanted it to be on your terms though."

"And I told her I wanted a divorce," he said with a sigh.

"You didn't even want to consider spending time with her after that," Sonny said.

"Which was ridiculous because you two were friends when you thought you were Jake Doe. You got to know Sam and knew how great she was, but once you find out you're married you pushed her away and wanted nothing."

"You're right," he said. "I didn't know how to handle it."

"You handled it like shit," Carly said bluntly. "I'm glad she finally called you out on this, it's about damn time. I probably would have said something if she didn't."

"Thanks," he said with a groan as he stood up to leave, not finding them very helpful.

"How do you plan on making it up to her?"

"We're going to talk tonight," he said. "Despite the time that's passed and everything that has happened, it's still me and Sam. We can get through anything."

"I'm glad to hear that," Sonny said.

"Don't screw it up!" Carly said as she stood up to walk him out.

"Thanks for the vote of confidence," Jason rolled his eyes. "Why am I always the wrong one lately?"

"Oh honey," Carly said with a laugh. "I'll give you a pass for things when you thought you were Jake Doe, but some things you did once you found out you were Jason made me want to smack you upside the head and have Max and Milo drag you home to the penthouse. But, as I learned from a very dear friend of mine, you needed to make your own choices."

"Since when did you ever listen to me?"

"When I thought I'd never see you again," she said. "Good luck tonight, you might need it."

"Jason, I'm home. I-oh, wow," Sam said as she walked into the penthouse. Jason had set up the table with candles and had dinner set out already. "You've been busy."

"I figured you and the baby would be hungry," he said, walking over to her.

"Is that what I think it is," Sam asked with a smirk, touching the collar of the shirt he was wearing.

"The blue palm-tree shirt you wanted me to wear so badly on our honeymoon? Yes, it is," he said, taking her hand and walking her to the table.

"Where did you find that?"

"Storage unit," he said. "It's still a god-awful shirt."

"So why are you wearing it?"

"Because I'd do anything for you if it makes you happy, even if it means wearing a ridiculous shirt like this one," he said.

"Jason," she sighed, not sure if she was ready to talk.

"Eat first," he said knowingly. "I cooked."

"One of the reasons I'm extremely glad to have you back. There is only so much mac and cheese I can make."

"You cook?"

"I make it from the box," she said and noticed the look of disgust that filled his face. "Hey! Danny loves it. On the nights you weren't home I'd make it."

"That's terrible," he shook his head.

"At least I improved," she said with a smirk. "Still can't make a BLT. You didn't fall in love with me for my cooking, anyway."

"I fell in love with you for a lot more than that, your terrible cooking included."

Once they finished eating, Sam knew the conversation they needed to have couldn't be put off any longer. Jason felt nervous, which was something he wasn't use to. Sam had the power to make him feel like he could do anything and lose everything at the same time. Their relationship was everything to him because she was the only woman who truly loved him for who he was.

"When I found out I was Jason after living as Jake Doe for a year, I had never felt so lost before. I built this new life for myself with a family and a woman I thought I loved thinking that no one was looking for me, and then I find out its you. You became my friend after I tried to kill you and I was so grateful for that. To be honest, I can remember a couple of times wishing that you weren't with Patrick when we met," he said with a small laugh. "To find out I was Jason after hearing the way you spoke about him, well me, and how much you loved me, it was a lot to handle. And I didn't handle it right."

"I didn't want you to step back into your old life like nothing happened, I knew that wasn't even an option. You were there on the pier when I told you about you dying, and on our anniversary when Mrs. Yi knew right away."

"Should have believe her."

"Yeah, we should have," she smiled. "After you found out you weren't Jake Doe, but Jason Morgan, you pushed me so far away and it hurt. All I could think of was Danny finally being able to meet you, and it was like you wanted nothing to do with us because you already had a family with Elizabeth."

"I thought moving forward with the life I built was the better option. I was scared to start from scratch again, or to get thrown into Jason's life without having my memories. I went from believing I had no family to finding out everyone who cared about me was in this town and people I got to know. I didn't want to give you the wrong impression if I started coming around and confuse you more, but I also didn't want to tempt myself by doing that."

"I would have never pushed a relationship on you just because we were married. I just wanted to give our son the chance to know you."

"I know, and I realized that. Every time I would leave the house, Elizabeth would ask me if I was going to see you, like she was waiting for the other shoe to drop. Even though I'd reassure her I loved her, it started to sound insincere. I wanted to see you and Danny, and it didn't help that I was attracted to you before as Jake. Knowing that you were my wife, that was something that made me nervous I'd act on my feelings and put us both in an uncomfortable position."

"But you did. You kissed me that day."

"And at the time I shouldn't have. Despite whatever conflicted feelings we had, we found love with other people and it wasn't fair to them," he said, moving to sit next to Sam when he saw the tears in her eyes. "If I pushed my conscious aside, I would have wanted a lot more than a kiss."

"You believed Elizabeth over me when I told her she knew about who you were. That hurt the most because we never lied to each other. When we gave ourselves a second chance after Mexico, we promised we wouldn't lie to each other because that's what ended us the first time."

"I didn't know what to do," he said with a sigh. "I knew you were right, which is why I went back to you after I kicked you out – which I should have never done. I felt like a fool and I didn't want you to see me like that. You were the one who wanted to help me, but I stayed with Elizabeth after she told me countless times that I shouldn't look into my past. My life wasn't my own and I had enough, but my reaction was toward the wrong person."

"I get being angry and confused," Sam said with a small nod. "You really do want to be with me, right? I just, I get nervous sometimes that this isn't the life you want anymore. That you only came back because that's what you thought you needed to do."

"Without my memories, I wanted you. I thought you were the most beautiful woman in this town. When you told me about your past as a con artist, I admired you because you owned the things you did and came so far in life. When I would see you with Danny, I'd have these feelings that he was my son but I'd think that I wasn't lucky enough to have a family with a woman like you. After everything settled and I called you that morning to talk to you about that infamous pink outfit, I couldn't wait to get over here and spend time with you. I could finally act on how I felt when we first met and I guess knowing we were married gave me the confidence I needed, but also blinded me from what I did that was wrong. I should have apologized a long time ago for how I treated you and told you this from the start. I didn't want to ruin what we were starting."

"How do you feel now that you have your memories back?"

"Is that a serious question?" he asked, picking her up and sitting her on his lap.

"Yes," she rolled her eyes. "Do you feel like I trapped you into staying with me?"

"Absolutely not," he said, pressing his lips against her shoulder. "Knowing that we found our way back to each other again when I had no memories, it just cemented the fact that we belong together. There is no one else I want but you. You're the only woman who has allowed me to have things I never thought I could have. You've been the best mom to Danny, and this little one is going to be so lucky to have you. I'm so lucky to have you, and I'm sorry I forgot that and I'm even more sorry that I made you feel unwanted. I've never wanted anyone more, and I never will."

"Thank you for telling me this," she said as she rested her head on his shoulder. "And thank you for finding this ridiculous shirt that I still love. I almost gave you a pass when I saw you had it on."

"You mean if I just stayed quiet, the shirt would have said everything?"

"You'd have to wear the shirt forever, then, and I know how much you hate it," Sam said with a smirk. "My favorite thing about us was how we could always talk to each other, and even though you hated it, you'd always tell me how you felt. I always got to see a different side of Jason Morgan that no one else saw."

"I never felt comfortable talking to anyone else like this," he said.

"I'm glad I'm that person for you."

"I know I'm not the most romantic guy out there, but I promise I'll make sure you know how I much I love you and how thankful I am that you took me back everyday."

"You already do that," she said, taking his face in her hands. "You have always made me feel so special and loved. I'm sorry I stayed upset over this for so long."

"Don't apologize, it was long overdue. Carly said she would have brought it up if you didn't," Jason grimaced as Sam laughed.

"I'm not surprised," she said. "This shirt is nice and all, but I still think I liked option number four the best."

"Really?" he said with a smirk, his hand brushing up and down her thigh as she began to unbutton his shirt.

"Yeah, option four was my favorite," she said and laughed as he stood up quickly and carried her upstairs. He laid her down on the bed and paused, staring at how perfect she looked and just amazed that she was his.

"We're okay, right," he asked, brushing her hair away from her face.

"Better than ever," she said, leaning up to kiss him.

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! Let me know what you thought about it.

I'm hoping to get this story done before I start school again. I have a feeling that's not going to happen, but that's the goal.

Thanks for reading :)
