Bella 48

Sam stood in her bedroom and turned to the side to see the baby taking shape in her full length mirror, it had been four months since she had seen Jason. Being back here in Florence and a world away from him was disheartening to say the least. Looking around the bedroom she saw memories of him and her everywhere, but the fact remained she just couldn't deal with it anymore, taking the life of someone else had changed her in ways she never thought possible. And other ways she was the same, So much in love with Jason and wanting to be by his side.

One week later...

"Well you are free and clear Abigail is all yours Jason." Justus said as he shook his hand.

"Thanks." He said smiling slightly "Thanks for all that you have done." He turned and held Abigail's hand.

"Jason?"

"Yeah?" Jason turned back to him "Sam will come around, give her some time."

"Okay" he nodded his head wondering how long it was going to take this time. Looking downat Abigail he turned and walked out of the courthouse and outside.

"I'm all yours now daddy." Abigail said with a smile on her face.

"Yes, you are pumpkin." He bent down and kissed her cheek.

"I want to call Sam and tell her the good news, can we daddy please?"

"I don't know if that will be a good idea."

"Please daddy? I miss her so much." she said looking up at him as a tear slid down her cheek.

"Okay." He said to her as they made their way home. Getting inside the door, Jason tossed the keys on the desk as Abigail picked up the phone and handed it to him

"Dial the number daddy." she implored him. As he turned the phone around and went to dial it there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it daddy?" She said as he opened the door and saw a delivery man standing at the door.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you Jason Morgan?"

"Yeah."

"I have a special delivery for you." He said handing him the envelope, "Sign here please." He said giving Jason the pen so he could sign for them, then handed him a tip "Thank you." he said and turned to go as Jason said goodbye and shut the door behind him. Looking at the envelope it said Florence, Italy.

"Who is it from daddy?"

"It's from Sam."

"Open it daddy, please."

He zipped off the top of the envelope and looked inside finding a picture of Sam naked and turned to the side so that he could see the baby, and a letter.

Dearest Jason,

I wanted to send this to you. I had Gemma snap this picture of me today, the baby is doing well, and is active. I miss you Jason, and I am sorry. I was messed up for a while but I have learned how precious this life is Time seems to march on whether we like it or not, but my love for you never ceases. I can't bear to live one more day longer than I have to without you. Please accept my apology for being so foolish and I would like to ask you a question.

Would you marry me? There are special instructions for you in the envelope. I am at your parents place in Hawaii waiting for you to join me so that we can be as one with another, your presence is required.

Love Always,

Sam.

He wiped his tears as they slid down his cheeks, taking out the paper he read it, then looked down at Abigail and picked her up and spun her around the room. Picking up the phone he called Lorenzo as he was instructed to do, and let him know they would be ready in an hour to go.
