"Jason Morgan you have a visitor" The warden said to him from the other side of the bars.

"Sam." He said to himself as she stood up quickly.

"Come with me."

Jason followed the warden down the hall and through the next building to the visitor area as he stood and waited for him to open the door. Walking through he looked for her but didn't see her, instead he saw Justus. Jason took his seat as Justus sat down and looked at him

"You look like hell man." He said to him. "I thought you would want to know I saw Sam."

"What? Where? How is she doing?" Jason asked concerned for the woman he loved more than life itself.

"She's not well Jason, she is about six months pregnant, I don't know where she is living, she wouldn't tell me, From the looks of it Jason, she might be homeless. I don't know what the hell you think you are doing, I know you didn't kill AJ she told me and I believe her, she needs you Jason and I would like to think that you love her enough to do the right thing. Remember that time during the Durant shooting when you were in the interrogation room and I told you needed to start thinking of yourself and not Sonny? The time has come. Don't do this to her, that baby or yourself."

Jason turned put his head in his hands and wept. He had missed her so much and now on top of it to find out she was pregnant with his baby, stirred something in him and there was a fierceness and rage like he had never known. He knew now that both Sonny and Carly most likely had found out that she was pregnant and in order to keep Michael safe and Sonny and Carly from the trouble that they might find themselves in, they didn't let him know about her, her condition or anything. It was as if they just swept her under the rug so they wouldn't have to be reminded about her, and that he would be none the wiser.

"I want to talk to Mack." He said looking at Justus.

"I knew you would make the right decision." He said looking at him "We are going to have you out of here today."

Sam was so tired the baby had kept her up all night long and today she was feeling pain and it was scaring her as she lay here.

"I need you Jason." She said to herself. She looked at Justus' phone number; he had told her to call him if she needed anything at all. Picking up the phone she dialed his number and got his voice mail and left a message and the phone number of where she was at.

Justus' phone beeped while he was sitting there talking to Jason. He looked at it him and said that he would be right back. Walking out the door he took the message and was glad it was her. She left a number and right away he called her back, she was staying at a dive across town, and she needed his help. She was experiencing pain.

Jason looked up and saw Justus' concern.

"What's the matter?"

"That was Sam."

"What wrong with her?"

"She just told me that she is experiencing pain I just called 911 for her, and I called Mack, he is on his way."

"Damn it, you need to get me out of here now."

An hour later Jason told Mack exactly who killed AJ. Jason felt like such a traitor for letting Michael down, but in fact, it was Sonny and Carly that had let him down. If Sonny was the man that he knew him to be he would take the blame for it.

"Was it really worth it to sit here all these months?"

"No."

"No more confessing to crimes you didn't commit Jason. I can't believe I am actually going to say this, but it was very honorable of you to step up to the plate in this whole thing, but this is not your responsibility, and it never was, you are a free man."

Jason looked at Justus and shook his hand.

"Let's go." Jason said as the two of them walked out together.
