NOTE TO READERS: Okay, in the last five months, Sam and Jason have gotten very close and yes, they have made love (Sorry, didn't feel like writing that in). Anyway, Carly and Sam set up a blind date for Greenlee a couple of months ago and she and the guy hit it off. Since I think they were the perfect couple on AMC, the man's name is... Leo du'Pres. Carly and Sonny got married last month. Oh, no one ever found out who killed Caleb, but no one really missed him anyway. So, here's the 3rd to last chapter in my story...Enjoy!

Chapter Eighteen

Five Months Later

"Hello everyone and welcome to the Cellar's grand reopening!" Carly began, "Well, do I have a treat for you! This woman was born and raised here in Port Charles and also has one of Port Charles' sweetest voices, please give a warm welcome to Samantha McCall!"
The crowd applauded as Sam walked on stage, "Thanks everyone. Well, since I'm a big country girl and since it's Valentine's day, this first song was sung by Martina McBride and I want to dedicate it to the man I love and he knows who he is. It's called 'Valentine'."

If there were no words
No way to speak
I would still hear you
If there were no tears
No way to feel inside
I'd still feel for you
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
All of my life
I have been waiting for
All you give to me
You've opened my eyes
And showed me how to love unselfishly
I've dreamed of this a thousand times before
But in my dreams I couldn't love you more
I will give you my heart
Until the end of time...
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine
And even if the sun refused to shine
Even if romance ran out of rhyme
You would still have my heart until the end of time
'Cause all I need is you, my Valentine
You're all I need, my love, my Valentine

When Sam had finished singing, the audience roared with applause. Sam smiled at the crowd as she looked around until her eyes caught Jason's. He smiled at her and mouthed, "I love you Sammie."
Sam's smile brightened, then she turned to the crowd, "Before I begin my final song, I want to thank Carly and my cousin Greenlee for being there for me for, like, ever and for putting in this stage.But the most important thank yous go to my boyfriend, Jason Morgan, with out you Jase...I wouldn't be on this stage tonight. And of course, my baby girl, Melanie, she's been listening to my singing since she was still in my tummy," Sam said looking right at Jason, who was holding Melanie as the crowd laughed, "My final song was sung by Kelly Clarkson. It's called 'Thankful'."

You know my soul

thankful for the joys that your bringing to my life
thankful so thankful

At the end of the song, the crowd once again went wild with applause. When Sam looked towards Jason, she didn't see him there. She saw Sonny holding Melanie but Sam quickly became concerned. After all, Jason was her main source of support. All of a sudden the crowd hushed. Sam looked to the left of the stage and watched as Jason walked towards her, holding a velvet box.
Jason knelt down on one knee in front of Sam and everyone else in the Cellar. He opened the box, revealing the diamond ring meant for her. Jason gently took Sam's left hand in his and said, "Sam, we have been through a lot of things these past five months. But, I've known since the moment I layed eyes on you, that I loved you more than I had loved anyone else in my life. That love continues to grow each and every day I'm with you. What I'm trying to say here is that I love you and that precious baby of yours. You girls mean the world to me. So, Ms. McCall, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
Sam had tears running down her cheeks as she looked into Jason's eyes. It didn't take but one second for Sam to know her answer, "Yes Jason! I'll marry you!"
The audience clapped as Jason slid the ring onto her finger and kissed Sam passionately, both forgetting about the world around them.
