AN: I am a JaSam fan, a HUGE one but before them I truly loved the idea of Brenda and Jason, I was praying for something more to happen. Lately I've really been missing Brenda and Jason, I've been posting a lot bout them, have a banner now. I was reading some old Brenda Jason stories and got an idea that went with a JaSam idea I had.

This does take place after the 1-28-05 episode of GH. It's following what's going on in GH for now up it won't have what's going to happen in GH.

Summary: Sam and Jason are going through a rough time. An old friend comes back to Port Charles, with more reason then she's saying. Everything begins to come undone and everyone's life is in danger.

Chapter 1

Jason walked into his penthouse and slammed the door shut. He had just seen Sam, he had a feeling she hadn't left town but now he knew. It killed him to think about her words, every time she said she didn't love him, it was all a lie. He thought he was doing the best thing for Sam when he called everyone over and gave the baby to Rita, it would've happened eventually. He wanted to spare her pain; he wanted to make her happy.

Now it was all upside down, she was mad and he was angry. None of this was suppose to happen. "Damn it!" he cursed as he threw all the papers from his desk across the room. It was an act of anger, lashing out in hope to feel better but nothing made Jason feel better.

"I guess you're really pissed."

Jason turned at the sound of the voice; he knew it was coming from the kitchen area. A few seconds later she walked toward him. "Hi Jason."

She had to be the last person Jason expected to see right now. "What are you doing here?" was the best he could ask. He had no idea what to say, it was about to be two years since they last saw each other. The date flashed in his mind without thought, February 19.

"Thanks for the welcome home, I missed you too." She sarcastically said with a shrug. "I'm here, at your place, to say hi and see how you were doing. Judging by the paper mess, I think you're upset."

"I had a bad day." Jason simply said as he shrugged off his jacket and placed it down on top of the desk. He went and sat on the sofa, his arms resting on his thighs. He looks over at her, still standing near the door. "Brenda, why are you in Port Charles? Are you in some kind of trouble?" he asked and almost feared her answer.

"You always think the worst first. No I'm not in trouble, well not really." Brenda answered with another shrug as she went and sat in the easy chair next to the sofa.

"That doesn't sound good." Jason pointed out as he let out a sigh. "What's it going to cost me?"

"I should be offended by that but I'm not. Don't worry, it won't cost you nothing, I can handle it. I just came to say hi to an old friend." Brenda explained as she set the mug of tea she had been drinking down on the coffee table. "Why do you look like someone ripped out your heart and tossed it over the pier?"

"Because someone did." Jason answered before he could think about it at all. Did he really want to talk to Brenda about this?

"Who was it? Was it Snow white-oh what's her name? Courtney! Yeah her, I heard you guys got married, I never thought of you as the married type." Brenda commented.

"I married you."

"But that was different."

"Courtney and I got a divorce awhile ago. She couldn't handle my life anymore and I couldn't handle the circle we were going in." Jason explained.

"So who's the girl?"

Again Jason wondered if he could talk to her about this. Maybe it could help, he thought, maybe she could give him an idea to get Sam to forgive him. "It started out as an agreement, something we both decided was for the best. She was pregnant and we decided to raise the baby together but the baby died and I found myself falling in love with her. We decided to get married but one thing led to another and it's over." It stung to think about it all over again, to remember how it felt to have Sam, to come home to her. Now she was gone, he had nothing. Jason explained the rest, how they planned to adopt baby Hope but no matter what they would lose the baby. He explained it all.

"I'm sorry Jason." Brenda told him. "She seemed like the best girl for you but all this baby stuff took its toll. I agree with what Sonny said, give it time, she loves you and you love her. It could work out." She said

"Thanks." Jason told her.

Brenda could see he was hurting and it want to talk about that anymore. "So how's everyone else?" she asked.

"Do you mean Sonny?"

"Him too. I know him and Carly broke up for the 900th time but I'm not going down that rode. I am not in Port Charles for either Sonny or Jax. I'm here for me and only me." Brenda explained, proud about that fact.

"Sonny's doing great, he has all his kids and now has a huge house to have them all in. He's happy; I know that's what you wanted for him." Jason said.

"Yes it is. So now no one is living across the hall?" Brenda asked a she began to think that through.

"No, Sonny hasn't decided what he wants to do with it yet." Jason answered as he watched her face, he knew her too well. "Brenda-"

"Well it's been great seeing you." She said as she stood from her seat. "I gotta get going." She gathered her jacket and purse and headed for the door. "See you around." Brenda said before she left.

Brenda headed back to Kelly's where she was staying until she found a more permanent place to live. She was freezing from walking in the cold weather, as soon as she walked inside she headed for the counter. She ordered something nice and hot then looked to the side. At the woman sitting a stool over.

Brenda had a feeling that it was so she walked up to her. "Excuse me?"

"Yeah?"

"Are you Sam McCall?" Brenda simply asked

Sam looked at the stranger and wondered why she wanted to know. "Yes I am, and you are?"

"Hi, I'm Brenda Barrett."
