"Sam, honey. I am going out. I have to work" Jason yelled up the stairs to his wife.
Sam came running down the stairs to catch him before he left. She always tried to see him before he left to work.
"Jason be careful. I love you too much" Sam told Jason.
Jason looked at her and smiled. He couldn't help it. She worried a lot. Jason Morgan had married a worrier, but he loved her anyway and wouldn't change a thing about her or his life.
"ok, I will. I will be back soon. You don't have to wait up for me" he said before kissing his wife.
"alright" she said to him as he walked out the door.
Sam had grown accustomed to Jason's lifestyle and his line of work. She was used to him having to leave so suddenly and not being able to tell her where he was going. It was who he is and she loved him for it. So it was all worth it.
It was later in the evening when Sonny had called Jason to work. She had watched some television and had ordered in Chinese food for dinner. She was now doing a crossword puzzle and watching the dead zone that she fell asleep. A little while later she awoke to the sound of her cell phone ringing. She looked on the caller id and saw exactly who was calling. She smiled when she saw who it was: Jason.
"hey, you" she said as she answered the phone.
"how are you?" Jason asked her as he smiled. She always answered the phone like that.
"I'm fine. I was tired and I fell asleep. I'm fine really" Sam told Jason.
"Are you sure baby? You don't sound that way" Jason said with concern evident in his voice.
Sam looked at her phone and laughed. Jason always worried about her. He always knew when she was lying. It was a gift and that was one of the reasons she loved him.
" yes. Jason. Please stop worrying. I'm fine" Sam told Jason again.
The truth was Sam was not fine. Her head hurt and the room felt like it was spinning. She felt really sick to her stomach. She just didn't want Jason to worry about her.
"Ok, if you say so." Jason said.
"listen I got to go and get back to work. I will see you later." Jason said again and then hung up his phone.
After he hung up the phone he stared at it for a second. Sam didn't sound good. He had a bad feeling so he decided to call it a night and head home. His wife needed him even if she didn't say so.
As he approached the door he noticed it was quiet. Sam must be in bed he thought. He slowly opened the door and walked in quietly so he didn't disturb her.
"Jason?" Sam asked tiredly and very weakly.
" yeah, its me" Jason said quietly.
" I'm glad your home. I missed you" Sam said as she got up off the couch and headed to the kitchen for a glass of water.
Jason followed her into the kitchen. When he caught one look at her face his smile quickly dropped. She was as pale as a ghost and had circles under her eyes. She looked like she hadn't slept in ages.
" Sam, honey are you feeling alright?" Jason asked his wife now really concerned. He put his cool hands on her face. She had a slight fever.
" Not really. My head really hurts. I feel dizzy and my stomach really hurts." Sam said tiredly and almost out of breath.
" I'm taking you to bed" Jason said and then went to pick her up when she stopped him.
" I can walk, you don't need to carry me upstairs." Sam said as she headed for the stairs.
Jason nodded his head and then followed behind her. She stopped a few feet from the stairs when she suddenly felt dizzy. She then lost her balance and then fell backwards. Jason caught her right before she hit the floor.
" ok, honey I think I will carry you up to bed." Jason said as he headed up the stairs. Sam heard him mumble under his breath " and you thought you could walk"
After Jason got Sam settled in bed he went and cleaned up and then settled in bed himself. Right before he fell asleep, he pulled her close. When he felt her close to him, he fell asleep with a smile on his face.
