There was a large banner in the Metro Court ballroom that said, 'Yay, We Didn't Explode!'. They had made it the weekend after when it was originally planned so everyone could get their lives together. Jason was out of the hospital now and Carly and Jax had shared custody of the kids. Sam, Carly, Claudia, and Maxie sat at a table under it. Carly and Maxie were drinking, which really annoyed Sam and Claudia since they were pregnant.
"This tequila is so good!" Maxie said, taking a big drink.
"It'll be even better when I dump it down your shirt." Claudia muttered, causing Sam to smile. Jason came into the room holding Sofia, so the brunette rose from the table.
"Mommy!" Sam took Sofia from Jason. She kissed her daughter's cheeks.
"Hey baby girl. Are you ready to party?"
"Yeah!" she started to squeal when her mother tickled her. "Aunt Claudee! Aunt Carly! Aunt Maxie!" she wiggled out of her mother's arms and ran to the three women.
Jason pulled Sam into his arms and pressed a kiss to her temple. "Hey, how you doing?"
"I'm tired. And aggrivated because I can't have any tequila." she stuck her lower lip out in a pout.
"And how's our little one?" his hand found a way to her belly. There wasn't any sign that she was pregnant yet, but he still loved touching where their child grew.
"Fine." she smiled up at him. "We'll be okay, Jason. We can handle a party."
"Okay."
Jax walked in with Haven and Morgan. As soon as he saw Carly was there, he walked out. The blonde rolled her eyes and went over to her children.
"So, this is going to be a pretty crazy party." Emily said. Lucky looked over at her with a smile.
"Yeah. Sonny and Jason will go crazy with all of those women."
"Definitely. And Jason has his protective face on, meaning Sam won't be partying much tonight." the brunette smiled. "I miss being there, you know? Just the little things make me wish I was still alive."
"When we watched Lulu and Dante try and get the boys to sleep the other night, I felt like that. I had never wanted anything more in my life."
"When do you think they'll notice Elizabeth is dead?" Emily asked.
Flashback:
Elizabeth knew that her time was coming soon. She walked down the stairs at the pier and fell down the last few. She sighed and got up, nearly crying when she saw the rip in the hideous green sweater she had just sewed.
She went over to look at the water and took a step, falling on ice and smacking her head. She rolled to try and get up, but fell in the water instead.
The only witnesses to this were Lucky and Emily up in Heaven, who laughed.
"She deserved to die that way for pushing Jake into that water." Lucky commented.
"Yeah." she smiled as Jason hugged Sam. "Do you think they'll have a boy or a girl?"
"I bet you my halo it's a boy."
"Oh yeah? I bet you my wings it's a girl." they shook on it.
Kristina had learned the difficulties of pregnancy the hard way. She was dealing with morning sickness and head aches and she was tired all of the time. She entered the Metro Court and saw Sam. She went over to her big sister.
"Hey Sammy."
"Hey Krissy." Sam hugged her. "How are you feeling?"
"Sick. You?"
"Same." she sighed. "It's hard to believe, you know? Like 2 weeks ago, my life was perfect. Now I'm pregnant, I was kidnapped, Jason and I are fighting for Cam and Jake, you are pregnant and got beaten, Jason lost his memory, Lucky's dead, Haven and Morgan are alive...it's just so much."
"Are you sure you can handle this party? I know your pregnancy is pretty high risk and..."
"If one more person asks me if I can handle this, I will scream." Sam warned her.
"Okay then." Kristina smiled. "Let's party!"
Pretty soon, the ballroom was filled. Morgan, Molly, Haven, Spencer, Cam, Jake, and Sofia were at the bar having a contest on who could drink their root beer the fastest. Kristina was talking to Ashley. Mac and Alexis and Dante and Lulu were dancing. Jason sat in a chair with an almost asleep Sam on his lap listening to Carly and Nikolas talk. Claudia and Sonny were sitting together. Maxie was talking to Matt and Johnny.
A loud scream echoed through the ballroom. Sam nearly fell off Jason's lap, but he wrapped his arms around her waist. Claudia was being held up by Sonny as she gripped her stomach. Carly and Sam ran to her.
"What is it, Claud?" Carly asked.
"This baby is coming NOW!" she screamed as another contraction hit.
"Okay. Mom, you and Mac take the little kids back to your place. Me, Johnny, Sonny, Matt, and Carly will go to the hospital with Claudia. Kristina, Ashley, Lulu, and Dante, go back to Greystone and get Claudia's bag." Sam ordered.
"What about me?" Maxie asked.
"Go with Sofia, keep her calm!" they ran out.
Claudia had insisted that Johnny and Sonny stay outside of her room. She wanted experienced people in there with her and since they were men, they obviously hadn't been in labor before.
Sam and Carly were on either side of their friend. Sam was putting Claudia's hair up in a messy bun. The older woman glared at her. "Trust me, you'll be glad it's like that later."
Carly was trying to help her with her breathing. "How is this helping?" Claudia yelled.
"I've had three kids, Claudia. Shut up and listen to me."
"I was terrible when I had Sofia." Sam commented, trying to distract Claudia from her pain. "But after she was born, I didn't even remember how much it hurt. It was so worth all of the pain though because now I have my perfect baby girl."
"When I had Michael, it was pretty bad. I was in a lot of pain with Morgan because I wasn't in a hospital. Haven was pretty easy though." Carly said.
"I think this is it." Claudia stated.
The doctors came in as she pushed harder than she ever had in her life. "There's the head!" Matt told them.
"Get Sonny." Claudia whispered. Carly ran out and got him and he took Sam's spot. Claudia had insisted that she wouldn't squeeze Sam's hand anyway, terrified that it would somehow hurt her baby.
Sam pulled out her camera, taping the baby's birth. "Get that thing out of here!" the soon to be mother roared.
"Trust me. You'll be happy later when you have it."
There was one last push as Claudia screamed. A baby's cry filled the room. Matt held up the child.
"You've got a son." Sonny got to cut the umbilical cord. Matt passed the child off to a nurse and finished the delivery. Claudia was handed her baby.
"Hey Dominic." she whispered with a smile. "He's so perfect."
"I told you." Sam grinned.
"Meet your godmothers, baby. This is Aunt Sam and Aunt Carly." Sam and Carly both talked to him in baby voices. "And this is Daddy."
The two women left the room to give the family some privacy. Sonny sat next to Claudia and held his son. He looked at her with a cocky grin, his dimples showing.
"I make cute babies."
"Shut up, Sonny." she took the baby back. "And he's cute because he's mine."
"We've got a boy!" Jason announced. Everyone cheered loudly. After they left the party, they had all gathered at Alexis's house. "Sam sent a picture." his phone was passed around at everyone awwed at the picture of Dominic John Corinthos.
"He's really tiny, Daddy." Sofia said as she climbed into his lap.
"Yeah. And when you see him, you'll have to be very careful."
"Will our baby be little like that?"
"Yes. Probably smaller since your Mommy is so tiny."
"Oh." Sofia paused. "Daddy, do you want a Daniel or a Lila?"
"All I want is a healthy baby."
"Is your other baby gonna come stay with us?" she questioned.
"Sofia, his mommy lied. That baby isn't really mine. But Mommy and I want to get him and his big brother to come stay with us."
"Oh. How old are they again?"
"Jake is 3 and Cameron is 5."
"So I'll be Jakey's big sister?"
"Yep."
"But I don't want them to have my Lila. She's all mine."
Jason already knew there would be some adjustment issues between Sofia and the boys. "The baby will be everyone's, Sofia."
"Nuh-uh. It's my Mommy and my Daddy's baby, not their Mommy and Daddy's!" she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Sofia Avery Makayla. Do not act like this."
"And she's my Mommy, not theirs. Mine and Lila's."
"You can't act this way when the boys come. They lost their Mommy and Daddy so you have to share yours."
"Their Mommy was that mean lady that tried to take you and Mommy away! Why would I wanna share mine with them?" she stomped away from him, going over and sitting in Molly's lap.
"Sofia..."
"No. I don't wanna talk to you anymore."
"I'm just trying to get you to see that..."
"That you don't love me anymore?" her eyes filled with tears. "You want them more cause they're boys!"
"That is not true at all. I will always love you." he tried to hug her, but she jumped up and ran away, going into Sam's old room and locking the door.
"Sofia, you open this door right now!"
"No!"
Jason pulled out his phone and dialed the most familiar number in it. She answered on the fourth ring.
"I'm kinda busy right now, Jason. What do you need?" Sam was holding Dominic as Carly held the phone up to her ear.
"It's Sofia." Sam jumped up from the chair she was in, handing the baby over to Carly and grabbing her phone.
"I'll be there in 5 minutes." she hung up. "Sorry Claud. I love your baby, but my baby needs me." she hugged everyone in the room and kissed Dominic's head before running out.
Sam entered her mother's house. Everyone pointed down the hall and she went towards where she saw Jason standing outside her old door.
"What's going on?"
"She doesn't want to share us with Cameron and Jake."
"You told her they were staying with us without me?" Sam said. "We agreed to do that together."
"She asked and I didn't want to just lie to her."
"You could have said that when I got here you would talk about it." she knocked on the door. "Sofie, baby, open the door."
"Mommy?"
"It's me."
"Just you can come in. Not Daddy."
"Okay." she opened the door a crack and Sam entered, closing and locking it behind her. She lifted up the 5 year old and sat her on the bed. "Baby, what's wrong?"
"I don't wanna share you with those boys. Your my mommy and Lila or Daniel's mommy, not theirs."
"Honey, I understand that you don't want to lose me or Daddy. But just because the boys are there doesn't mean we won't love you anymore." Sam pulled the child onto her lap. "You are my first baby and no one can ever change that. There is nothing that will make me not love you anymore. You are Mommy's little girl, okay? Forever and always."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Sam kissed Sofia's forehead. She lifted her up and unlocked the door, coming outside. Jason looked at her expectantly, but she just glared.
"Sofia, go play." Jason said.
"No, Jason." Sam kept walking into the living room, but he gently grabbed her shoulder turning her around.
"What's your problem?"
"You really wanna do this right now?"
"Yeah, I do." Jason told her.
"I'm not doing this in front of my daughter." Sam insisted.
"Tell me why you are mad. Now Samantha."
"Because you never consider anyone but yourself! Did you ever think that maybe Sofia wouldn't be as excited about Cam and Jake coming as you are? Or that maybe I would have liked to be there to tell our daughter that she will be getting new brothers? It's a lot to adjust to and you just pushed it on her!" Sam walked out of the hallway and into the living room.
"So you're saying you don't want them anymore?"
"No. I'm saying that I wish you would have waited for me to tell Sofia." everyone turned to look at them as they argued. "I'm done with this, okay? It's not good for Sofia or the baby." she sat in a chair with Sofia's head on her chest.
"Fine. I'm sorry, Sam."
Sorry it took so long to update!
Are you glad Claudia finally had her baby boy?
Should Sofia act out a little bit from feeling like her parents don't want her since they're having a baby and getting the boys? (Sorry for those of you who wanted Lante to get them, but JaSam seemed better)
Do you want JaSam to have a Daniel or a Lila?
REVIEW PLEASE!
