"Marco, remove Scorpio from my home." Sonny growled "He's trespassing."
Madison said, "I have to agree with my client on this one. If you don't have a warrant than this conversation is over, Commissioner."
Looking Sonny dead in the eye Mac said, " Get your boy Morgan back to Port Charles to face these charges. I have enough to convict on the Jose Morales murder and he is not skipping out on me. I will send officers after him if need be."
"Good luck with that." Ric said sincerely.
Sonny looked at him. Ric tried to hide his smirk but couldn't.
To Mac, Sonny bellowed "Out!"
"You have 24 hours to get him to surrender," Mac answered " or else I'm having accessory charges filed against you. And no bail this time. So be prepared to spend some time as a guest of the city."
Marco said, "Sir, let's go."
Mac gave him a dirty look then left.
Sonny heard the front door close behind Mac then said, "Looks like the vacation is about to be over."
"Back to the real world for the lovebirds." Ric said
Madison said, "Maybe they shouldn't return until I have time to mount a defense. Find alibi witnesses and experts who can disprove the prosecutors forensic evidence."
Sonny said, "I won't have the cops coming after my kids with guns blazing because Carly is on the run with a fugitive."
"I better work fast then." Madison said, heading up the stairs to the private office Sonny had for her.
With glee in his voice Ric said, rubbing his heads together, "I knew Mac would jump all over that witness statement that Jason fired on Jose when he was unarmed then placed the gun in his hand afterwards."
"This guy is solid?" Sonny asked "Not gonna back off the story when Jason goes after him?"
"Paul Watkins will stick to what I tell him to stick to." Ric promised "He wants to get the second payment I promised him after his testimony too bad to recant."
"Madison will crush the witness on the stand. Jason will never go to prison." Sonny said " But while he fights the charges he'll have to stay in town. And so will Carly and my children. By the time he is acquitted I'll have full custody of the kids and Carly back in my bed. And I won't even have to marry her again."
"You can work Carly that good?"
Sonny chuckled. "Watch and learn, little brother." He picked up the phone to call Jason.
He
drowns in his dreams-
an exquisite extreme
I
know he's as damned
as he seems...
It just Ain't right
It just Ain't right ...
Such a beautiful
disaster
Beautiful, beautiful disaster
Beautiful disaster

Author's note- This is the last Sam section for a while.
"Do we really have to go home tomorrow?" Emily asked Nikolas as they walked along the shore on the Cassadine Island. "I love this place. It's truly beautiful."
"Post card perfect, "Nikolas agreed "But there are a lot of ghosts here for my family. I'm surprised Alexis seems as happy here as she does."
"I think it's spending time with her daughters that is making the difference." Emily said "Now this place will have a whole new set of memories for her. And us."
Emily stopped walking and raised her hand, that was being held by Nikolas. She placed his hand, with hers over it, on her stomach.
With a soft smile on her face, she said "Meet the latest Cassadine."
Over dinner that night Nikolas told the family that Emily was expecting. Alexis smiled and said, 'You two will be wonderful parents."
Kristina said, "Yay! Another baby!"
But Sam's expression was pained. She said, "Excuse me." and fled the room.
Alexis followed her. She found Sam in the living room.
"Honey, it's okay if it is still hard to hear about babies after losing yours."
Sam said "It's not that, mom. At least not just about Lila. I thought Jason and I would be married with a new baby of our own by now. I didn't think I could be a good mother when I first got pregnant with Lila but in time I really came to want her and to want to be a mom. I hate that because Jason gave up on that dream I have to too."
"You don't have to Sam. You don't need a man to have a baby."
Sam said, "I wouldn't be any good at doing it on my own."
"You aren't on your own." Alexis said "Nikolas is teaching you about the family business so you have a paying job. And you have built in babysitters in Emily and Lulu. I won't even mind being called grandma if it means you will be happy again."
"But is it fair to bring a child into the world without a father around?"
"There are plenty of kids in the world already who don't have a mother or father. You could give one a mom and when you fall in love with a reliable, stable, safe, trustworthy, non- criminal..."
"I get it, Mom."
Alexis finished, "man then you can give your child a father, too. But why wait if you are ready? That ache for a child is what you have been trying to fill up with the wrong men and choices."
"You would really help me to adopt?"
"I'd help you do anything that makes you smile."
Sam hugged Alexis. "Thank you. I guess I get to make an announcement of my own to the family now. I want to have a son."
He's magic and myth
as strong as what I believe...
Hold on tight
Hold on tight...
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long...so long ...

"No, Jason! No way are we leaving today!" Carly said as soon as he hung up his cell phone. She had been listening to his side of the conversation with Sonny. "If they are looking to charge you then the last thing we should do is go back home."
"It's that or go on the run." Jason said "Ric knows where we are because he is all up in Sonny's life. And Ric would not hesitate to send some bounty hunters after me. I won't put the kids in danger."
"But we can hide out-"
"No."
Carly sighed, knowing he had made up his mind. She hugged him tight. "I don't want this to end."
Jason pulled back and titled her chin up to look in his eyes. "Hey, now. The trip is ending. Not us, right?"
"Right."
He kissed her softly. Then said, "We better pack and tell the kids."
Carly closed her eyes briefly and prayed, Let him beat these charges. I can't live without Jason by my side.
After getting so close to her dream life it felt like agony to have anything threaten it.
She opened her eyes and said, "Let's get this over with."
And if I could hold on through the tears
and the laughter
Would it be beautiful
Or just a beautiful disaster?
