Prologue:
Jason watched as Sam packed up the baby's things. He watched her as she cried, as she mourned the child that she desperately wanted. Her daughter that she never got to meet. Jason, however, had the pleasure of meeting her. Of holding her. Lila was such a beautiful baby. She would have grown into a gorgeous woman, such as her mother was. Jason didn't understand why the children in his life always got taken away. He almost laughed at himself when he realized how much like Sonny he actually sounded. Jason wanted children. He wanted them so badly.
"Sam," Jason said as he walked into the nursery. He had surprised Sam. She jumped and turned around, embarrassed that her face was all red and blotchy. But Jason had never seemed to care about how she looked. What Sam liked most about Jason was how he could see so deep inside her soul, how he saw her for who she really was. To Jason, Sam wasn't a former prostitute, or a con artist. He cared about her for who she was inside and right now. Not about her past. He never even seemed to take that into consideration.
"Hi Jason. I was just, I was uhh... well pack- packing away Lila's th-things," Sam whispered as she turned away from Jason to wipe a falling tear.
"Don't be afraid to cry," Jason said as he witnessed Sam attempting to hold in her tears.
"I just, I miss her so much Jason. I don't know if I can do this..." Sam cried.
"You don't have to do this right now. You can wait until whenever you're ready, it's okay," Jason told Sam as he walked over to comfort her. Sam fell into his strong arms and began to sob.
It was freezing outside. Courtney could tell that a storm was coming. The first winter storm of the year. Snow brought back many memories for Courtney. The blizzard that she was stuck in with Jason, that had been the first time that he told her that he loved her. Thinking of that bittersweet day still brought tears to her eyes. She reached down for her necklace and untucked it from her green turtleneck. Her wedding ring and her engagement ring were dangling from the plain, yet amazingly beautiful gold chain. She blinked back her tears and kept on walking, thinking to herself, just a few more blocks and I'll be home. A few more blocks. However, she was almost power walking through the park when she bumped into someone she didn't expect to see. Someone who, try as she might to deny it, made her smile. Jax made her smile.
"Must be my lucky day," Jax said as he rubbed her shoulders. Jax was so totally and completely in love with this woman who he was currently holding. Jax didn't think that he wouldn't be able to love again, after Brenda and Skye. But then, this amazing and independent woman came crashing into his life, and from that point, there was no going back.
Sonny walked toward his daughter's hospital bed. His daughter. It sounded almost surreal to him. Only a few weeks ago he had found out about this beautiful little girl with his curls. His smile. God he loved this little girl. His little Kristina. Sonny understood why Carly kept this secret from him, and why Alexis did. Carly was being blackmailed. Alexis just wanted to keep her only child safe. Sonny couldn't blame her. As much as he was searching for someone to blame, the only person he could find blame for was himself. He reached down into the hospital bed and pressed his hand to his daughter's cheek, pulled up a chair, and prayed for her to get through this.
Carly clapped her hands together. She finally had her new house in order. Michael and Morgan were all set up in their respective rooms, and they even seemed to be happy in the new house. She couldn't bring herself to call it a home. Not yet. Not without Sonny. Seconds later, Michael came bounding down the stairs,
"Mommy?" he asked.
"Yeah Michael?" Carly replied.
"I miss Daddy," Michael said to Carly, her heart breaking for him.
"I know you do sweetie. I know. But we live here now, and you can see your Daddy whenever you want. Do you think he would like to see your new room?" Carly suggested, trying to make things easier on her redheaded son.
"Yeah! It's all clean right now! Maybe I can even put on that suit he bought me, just so he knows that even though I don't live with him anymore, I still want to be just like him!" Michael almost yelled excitedly.
Carly allowed herself to laugh. Something she hadn't done since she told Sonny about his daughter. "I'll call him right now." And even though it killed her to see Sonny and not be able to be with him, she picked up the phone. For her son.
Elizabeth wiped down the counter. Angry customers were the worst. They made her whole day just go completely downhill. Emily's wedding was coming up. She was the maid of honor, and Lucky was the best man. As much as she hated to admit it, Lucky was so darn good looking. She could see him, and just want him back so badly. Other times she found it easy to be mad at him for what he did to her. Lucky broke her heart. Actually, not broke, smashed. He smashed it. And Liz hated that he had the power to do that. So it figured that Lucky would show up at Kelly's at closing time, asking to practice dancing with Liz, so they wouldn't look stupid at the wedding. Yes. It figured. Because Elizabeth enjoyed that dance. And little did she know, Lucky didn't need practice, he just needed her.
Sorry that this is so short. Let me know if you think i should continue or not.
