Breathe no More
Chapter one
Sam jumped up at the sound of her alarm. "Damn it." She hissed as she left her bed. She would've killed for just five more minutes of sleep but she couldn't. She went to the kitchen and started the pot of coffee then went to Ava's room. "Come on babe wake up." She turned on the lights and pulled the covers.
"I don't wanna."
"Neither did I but I did so come on." Sam said as she began to dig for an outfit for Ava to wear.
"I can't way for school to be over." Ava softly said.
"You're in kindergarten school can't be that bad." Sam offered with a small smile as she picked Ava put in her arms.
"The boys are so mean. Daddy said it's because boys start out mean then become nice." Ava said as Sam carried her to the closet.
"Did he? Speaking of daddy you have to get ready because he'll be here any second." Sam placed Ava back on the floor. "You need help getting dress?"
"No I got it."
"Ok meet me in the kitchen when you're done." Sam said before leaving the room. Ava was going through her 'I'm a big girl' phase, she could do everything by herself.
Sam ran real quick to her room and got dressed, just as she finished putting on her shirt there was a knock on the door. "He's never late." She said to herself while tying up her hair. "Come in." she opened the door and walked back to the kitchen.
"You're warm and fuzzy in the morning." He sarcastically said as he shut the door behind him and followed her to the kitchen.
"I've slept three hours if you want warm and fuzzy you're in the wrong place." Sam said once she looked at him again. "Here." She gave him a cup of coffee then left the kitchen. "Ava your father is here!" Sam called down the hall
"I'm coming." Ava called back.
"I need you to pick her up too." Sam began making Ava's lunch, every morning Sam used up every second doing something.
"Why?" He asked.
Sam stopped and placed her hands on the counter he was seated at and looked at him. "I have a date."
"With who?" He asked, careful not to show the anger he felt about Sam dating.
"We've been divorced for almost two years; it's none of your business." Sam loved to push his buttons, it made her morning.
"Sam---"
"I have to work but I could've had a date." Sam said cutting him off as she went back to making Ava's sandwich.
"Work; you've been working all week like you said with three hours of sleep." He pointed out.
"Yeah that's the downside of being a doctor. But you don't have to deal with that now, just watch your daughter. Is that a problem?" Sam asked.
"Well---"
"Lucky I will kick your ass." Sam warned.
"You don't have to ask me to watch our daughter, I'll do it always."
"I need you were a good man under all the annoying habits." Sam said and kissed his cheek before going to get Ava. "We have to g now or you'll miss school."
"Good." Ava said.
"Ava."
"Just one more minute." Ava said in a softer tone, knowing she couldn't win this battle.
Sam went and sat beside Lucky at the kitchen nook. "She hates school."
"It's new for her; she'll get use to it." Lucky said.
"Funny they told me the same thing when I married you." Sam retorted with another smile.
"Ha ha, we have to go before you're both late." Lucky said as he stood from his seat. He dropped Sam off at work then Ava at school every morning. "You have everything?"
"Yeah my bag is right there." Sam answered, pointing to the sofa.
"Good."
"Lucky!" Sam yelled when he threw her over his shoulder. "Put me down." She yelled as she hit his back.
Ava came out of her room and just laughed at the scene of her parents.
"Ready?" Lucky asked her.
"Ready." Ava said as she grabbed her father's hand.
"This isn't funny." Sam said as she tried not to laugh. "Put me now."
"What's the magic word?" He asked once they were outside.
"Right now."
Lucky put Sam down and steadied her so she wouldn't fall. "Wrong answer."
"I'm going to get you for this." Sam went to the passenger's side and got in.
Sam and Lucky were high school sweet hearts but knew each other longer then that. After high school they got married just because they simply wanted too. Sam studied to become a doctor while Lucky became a cop. A few years after marriage Ava came and they were happy. But two years ago with them working so much it wasn't the same and they agreed to end it. Sam and Lucky promised they'd only be together if it worked, it stopped working. But they stayed good friends.
Lucky parked in front of the hospital, Sam reached back and kissed Ava goodbye. "Have fun at school, I mean it." She looked at Lucky. "Call me if anything."
"I will."
Sam left and headed in the hospital.
"Dr. McCall Dr. Webber is looking for you." The nurse, Shelly said.
"Call me Sam." She said as she put on her white coat and stethoscope.
"Ok Sam."
"Thanks." Sam told the nurse before walking away, more like power walking. The hospital was so busy at the moment and there weren't enough doctors on staff. She caught up with Steven Webber at the second floor. "What's up?"
"We have to go back down to the ER. There was a mess at the Quartermain house. Alan has been shot, he's coming in and their sons AJ and Jason went through the staircase falling a good distance, they're coming in too." Steven explained as she ran back to the ER.
"What the hell happened over there?" Sam wanted to know, this wasn't what she expected this morning or any morning. "And wait a minute isn't AJ dead?" she had read the papers and talked to Monica about his death.
"He faked his own death to kidnap his son, Michael Corinthos who they thought was dead too, he's not. There seems to have been this big showdown at the house." Steven gave her all the details he had.
Sam had talked with Monica who was a good friend about some of this and read the paper but she had no idea it was this twisted.
As they reached the ER just as the injured was being wheeled in. Sam rushed to work. "What do we have?"
"Jason Morgan, concussion, broken left arm."

AN: Let me explain because I'm sure you might be a little lost; This fic takes place after the 4-22-05 episode of GH, Jason and Sam were never together but the whole kidnapping thing did happen, Jason just worked alone. Lucky and Elizabeth were never together either, they don't know each other in this story.
