Sam rolled over in bed not being able to sleep. Actually it wasn't that she couldn't sleep it was that every time she tried to terrible dreams flowed through her head. They all consisted of the same idea. The baby being taken away from her. She held a tiny child in her eyes filled with joy. Blue eyes stared up from her and the baby's hair was dark like her own. Next to her was Jason who stared at the baby his eyes flickering with joy. But suddenly the joy of the dream was taken away along with the child as someone grabbed it from Sam's arms and ran out of the hospital room.
Finally sighing Sam sat up in her soft bed and pulled the covers off of her. Slowly she brought her feet to the ground and stood up in her black sweat pants and large white t-shirt. Then walking silently Sam moved to the stairs and headed to the kitchen.
Jason flickered open his eyes. He didn't know why he had woken up but he did. He looked around him to find that the night was still pitch black dark meaning it was still night. Slowly he moved his eyes and stared over at the alarm clock sitting on his night stand. It was only three o'clock in the morning. Before getting ready to shut his eyes again Jason heard the clattering of dishes from downstairs in the kitchen. He quickly sat up and grabbed the t-shirt that lay at the end of his bed. Putting it on his muscular body covering his chest Jason headed toward the bedroom door and moved down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen Jason was suprised to see Sam sitting at the table drinking a glass of milk. Squinting his eyes in the bright letting them adjust Jason moved toward Sam. "What are you doing up?" Jason asked.
Sam was startled hearing Jason's strong voice. Slowly turning her head so she looked at him she answered. "Couldn't sleep" she said.
Jason slowly sat down in the chair next to her at the table. "Why not?" he asked.
Sam thought about weither she should tell Jason about her dreams or not. "I don't know" she lied. She quickly took a sip of milk. "You want some?" she asked.
Jason shook his head. "Nah that's alright" he said.
Sam smiled. "You know if I was allowed this glass would be filled with something else" she said. Jason let out a small laugh.
"I'm not suprised" he said. The two of them sat in silence for moment. Something lingered on Jason's mind but he didn't know if he should say it outloud. "Have you ever heard about the Annual Nurses Ball?"
Sam looked up from her glass of milk starring into Jason's blue eyes. "No." she answered. "But it sounds like a load of shit"
Jason smirked. "Never mind. You're probably right" he said.
Sam looked at him her brown eyes filled with question. "What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well I was gonna see if you wanted to go" Jason told her. "But you're right. It's just a load of B.S"
Sam felt bad. Jason actually wanted to go to the Nurses Ball with her and she had basically turned him down before he could ask. "Well if you really want to go." Sam said.
"Nah, it's alright" Jaosn told her. "Besides I'm not going without a date"
"I could still go as your date" Sam said. She found herself now wanting to go with the man sitting next to her.
"No Sam if you don't want to we can just stay in for the night" Jason told her.
"Jason really. Maybe it would be fun" Sam said. "I would really like to go with you"
Jason smiled. "Alright." he said. "So I guess that makes you my date for tommorow"
Sam found the comment awkward but went along with it anyway. "I guess so" she said.
"She hasn't used her credit cards anywhere or anytime recently and no use of her cellphone either" Ric Lansang told his brother Sonny and his partner Jason.
"Well do you think there's a chance of finding her?" Sonny asked.
Ric shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know but whoever kidnapped her was able to do it pretty cleanly. No evidence or clues anywhere" Ric said.
"Any suspects?" Sonny asked.
"Well we have narrowed it down to three." Ric said.
"Who?" Jason asked.
"Well the number one suspect is AJ Quartermaine" Ric told both Sonny and Jason.
Jason's face immediatley was filled with shock. "AJ?" he asked.
"Yes. He was outside of Kelly's just before the kidnapping and Mike said he saw him in the diner too. Said he left just before Sam was captured" Ric explained.
Jason shook his head. "No it doesn't make sense. Why would my brother want to steal Sam?" Jason said.
Ric shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know but he's on the top of our suspect list" Ric told Jason.
Sam sat on the small cot Alcazar had provided for her in the room. She was freezing cold in and wrapped the blanket that lay on the bed around her shoulders as she shook. She had never been so afraid in her life. Never been in such trouble. Such danger. And now her child was in danger. Her child was going to be taken from her. Three months pregnant and things were already going wrong with Sam. But Sam Mccall never gave up. Never stopped. She already had a plan. Suddenly the door opened for a second time.
Courtney strode through the dark room of Sam's dungeon of terror. Her heels clicked on the hard floor and she stared at Sam with dark eyes as she walked near her. Sam's mouth had dropped. Courtney Matthews was behind this master plan. Jason's ex was the one holding her in this place.
"Hello" Courtney said as she stood in front of Sam.
Sam now shook even more as she saw Courtney stood in front of her. She didn't even know what to say. "Y-y-you" she studddered.
"Yes me" Courtney told her. "I am the one who ordered Lorenzo to find you."
Sam's mouth was still wide open. "Why?" she asked. That's all she could ask. All she could spit off her shaking tongue.
"Because I want a child. I wanted a child with Jason and since I can't have one yours is the next best thing" Courtney said. "Besides I am the last person Jason suspects to do this"
"You won't get away with this" Sam said bitterly finding words to come out of her mouth.
"No really I think I will" Courtney told her smirking. "Besides this is what you deserve. You slut. Sleeping with Jason behind my back. I tried to be nice to you when you stayed with us. I tried to be your friend and then you go and get pregnant with Jason's child"
"Courtney it was a mistake" Sam said.
"Yes I know I've already heard that" Courtney told her rage filling her voice. "I just don't understand how Jason found it in his heart to care about you. To take you in."
"Courtney-"
"No it's alright Sam. Because it's not like he'll see you again. I'll take this child and I'll kill you." Courtney said. Sam's heart tightened. Tears dripped from her eyes.
"Why are you doing this? Why are you hurting both me and Jason? You don't think he is upset about this? This little plan of yours won't make things better between you and him. Only worse. And Courtney how are you supposed to live with youself. Looking into my child's eyes everyday knowing that you killed it's mother" Sam said tears falling from her eyes.
Courtney just glared at her with her cold blue eyes. Then slowly she turned on her heel and moved toward the exiting door of the room. Sam Mccall was breaking her down.
