Sam had just been transferred upstairs into a room. Dr. Meadows had come in and talked to her for a bit. She was thankful that she had Justus to help her. But more than anything wanted to have Jason by her side. She missed him so much and he needed to be here. Even though she still felt that pang of anger, she knew why he did what he did to begin with, he loved Michael and all he wanted to do was protect him. How could she be mad at him for that? If anyone deserved that anger turned towards them it was the Almighty Corinthos family. Picking up the remote she turned on the TV the news was on and they came in with a breaking news story on Sonny. The reporter working the segment had said that Michael had indeed killed AJ Quartermaine and that Jason Morgan had confessed that he hadn't committed the crime.

Jason got out of the car and ran towards the ER finding Monica.

"Jason, what are you doing here?"

"Where's Sam?"

"She's been moved upstairs."

"Thanks." He said getting on the elevator and riding it up. Getting out of the elevator he ran over to the nurse's station to inquire about her when he saw Dr. Meadows, running over to her he asked how Sam was.

"She's fine. A little undernourished. She needs plenty of bed rest and I want to keep her on observation overnight. We don't know why she is experiencing pain; it could be due to the circumstances in her life and the stress resulting from it."

"Where is she?"

"In room 321"

"Thanks." He said as he ran down the hall.

Walking around the corner he could hear the news on in her room, coming to the door he saw her, she was near the window, and he walked in and looked at her.

"Jason."

"Sam." He said to her leaning over her and pulling her close to him he held her tightly, never wanting to let her go again, he wouldn't, it would be a cold day in hell before he ever left her side."

"I love you Sam."

"I love you too, so much." She said looking at him. "I am so sorry for all of this Jason."

"No Sam, it was my fault... I should have never taken it upon myself to confess to this crime. If something happens to you or this baby I will never forgive myself. You mean more to me than anything, and I am sorry that I have made your life hell." He said looking at her.

She pulled him close to her and kissed him deeply as he gave into his desire for her. He pulled her close to him and tasted her, pulling apart briefly he moved the hair out of her eyes to see her as he pulled her back to him for another kiss.

"You look beautiful Sam."

"No I don't."

"Believe me you are the most beautiful thing I have seen in months."

"Well, that might be true." She said looking at him. "Give me your hand." Taking it in hers she placed it on her belly feeling their baby move within her, leaning forward he kissed her stomach

He gave it to her and she put it on her tummy as the baby kicked hard against it. He leaned down and kissed her tummy then looked up at her, with a tear that rolled down his cheeks.
