Chapter 1: Love Always Wins

"Mama, what's wrong?" The little boy in her arms questioned as he stared startled at the phone on the floor. His voice was enough to snap her out of any shock starting to settle over her.

"Um, Danny-boy Mommy just got an important phone call so she needs to run out real quick," Sam tried to keep her voice calm, she didn't want to scare her son after all. The answer didn't seem to satisfy the little boy though as a small scowl formed on his face as he shook his head arduously; just as she was about to bend down and get the phone to call her mom.

"No! No! Mama stay! Like my dream!" Such a loud angry exclamation so uncommon from her son's typical stoic behavior almost made Sam jump.

Sam was baffled at this point, so she walked over to her bed and sat down, placing Danny tenderly on her lap. As much as she wanted to run off and figure out what exactly was going on, how exactly was her husband alive, she knew she had help Danny through this first.

"What happened in your dream sweetheart?"

The little boy turned his head and stared in the direction of her bedside table and let out a soft sob as tears came back to his eyes.

"Daddy was here."

Sam, who's mind was going foggy from all the surprises she received tonight followed his line of sight and saw the framed picture of her little family. One of the only two family pictures they had been able to take before Jason went off to meet with Bernie at the docks that fateful night. They were sitting in the very bed her and Danny were in now, her and Jason's faces lit up with raw joy at finally having the family they always wanted along with Danny's innocent cherubic face in-between them.

Despite the young boy's fathers absence Danny knew his fathers face well as Sam made sure to tell him stories about Jason everyday along with keeping his picture all around. Her mother had always been wary about how aware Sam made Danny of Jason but she was adamant that Danny's would know as much as he could about Jason and how he had loved him. Something like this, Danny waking up in tears over his father had never happened before though.

"You dreamed about Daddy?" Sam question internally musing over the irony.

"Yeah. Daddy was here, we played cars." Danny mumbled. Sam winced thinking about how earlier Patrick had been here playing with Danny and she had mentioned how Danny was missing out not having a father figure.

"You there to Mama, and you played. But your belly was big."

Sam tilted her head to one side 'I guess I really should lay off the Chinese food,' she internally mused. Out loud though she softly said, "You really love your Daddy don't you Danny?"

He nodded frantically looking up at her with a miserable expression on his face. "I woke up before the game end. I wanna play wit' him."

Oh how badly Sam wanted to tell Danny he might just get that chance. But she couldn't not now, not before she got all the facts. She didn't know what kind of state Jason was in so she refused to get his hopes up just yet.

"I miss Daddy to Danny," Sam mumbled as she looked back to the picture, "I know playing cars with me isn't as fun as it would be with him. But maybe Grandpa can come over tomorrow to play with you," she forced cheerfulness to enter her tone, "wouldn't that be fun?"

Danny frowned and looked away with a small shake of his head. His eyes were still glossy and she knew she couldn't just leave him like this. So she decided to be spontaneous.

"Okay then, you can come with me Danny," Sam decided nervously. She stood and walked to his room to get his coat and some shoes, deciding against changing him out of his race car and air plane themed pajamas. After all maybe sleepiness would over take him in the car.

"Where?" The boy questioned as he grabbed the race car his uncle Sonny got him. It had quickly became a favorite, he's carried it everywhere with him since he got it.

"We are going to visit someone," was all she said as she grabbed his blanket and hurried out of his room and downstairs with him in her arms to grab her keys and his stroller out of the closet. Before she could change her mind she hurried out the front door, locking the penthouse door behind her. She hesitated a moment but took a deep breath and started moving.

It was rather late but General Hospital was still very active Sam discovered as she walked in pushing her son in his stroller. Despite her hopes he was still wide awake and she could hear the little boy making car noises as the wheels of the toy car turned. Sam could see Olivia and Sonny as they vigorously and loudly questioned Sabrina about Lulu and Dante. She was about to lead them to presumably where the two were when Sonny turned slightly and noticed her. He was surprised to see her, she noted which made Sam certain he hadn't heard about Jason.

"Sam? What are you doing here? Is something wrong with Danny?" As he asked her the man scanned his eyes over his deceased best friend's son worriedly.

"No no, Danny's fine Sonny. He's not the reason I'm here. Actually-"

"Sam!"

It was Robin running toward her hurriedly and she was followed closely by her mother, Anna Devane.

"Maxie told me she called you. Jason.. Jason can't wait to see you Sam," Robin's voice was choked up with emotion as she stared into Sam's eyes.

"J-Jason?" Sonny stammered although Sam barely heard him. She couldn't believe this was happening, that it was real.

"Jason's alive Sonny," Robin declared with a joyful smile.

Anna Devane chipped in then, "He and Robin were being held against their will at the Crichton Clark Clinic that was being run by Victor Cassadine. That's where Dante, Lulu, Maxie and Nathan were being held. We found the two while we were trying to get out."

"H-how is he?" Sam had finally found her voice and Robin hurried to answer her.

"He's got a pretty bad fever and he can't talk right now since he ripped out his ventilator and bruised his vocal cords but that should pass in a couple days. He's going to be fine Sam," after the reassurance Sam nodded and looked down at Danny. He was watching the adults around him talk quietly and when he saw her staring at him he raised his arms.

She reached down and picked him up before locking eyes with Robin. "I-I wanna see him. We need to see him."

"I'll call Carly," Sonny decided, "and I'll come see him once she gets here."

Sam nodded, happy that she would get to have this little reunion be just between the three of them, and followed Robin and Anna. It felt like each step took forever and the hospital halls were endless as they made there way to the room they put Jason in. Jason had been gone for almost two years now. She had thought, and accepted at least shakily, that she would never see her husband again. That she would have to raise their son, the child they had wanted for so long, alone.

'But that's not true now.' Sam thought as they approached the room just as Elizabeth walked out of it. The two locked eyes and when Sam saw the happy tears in her once enemy's eyes, she felt some come to her own as she tightened her grip on Danny.

Elizabeth didn't say anything as she walked away. She just placed her hand softly on Sam's arm and smiled at Danny. Then she walked away and Robin and Anna left with her.

She walked up to the door, struggling for a moment to open it, pull the stroller along, and carry Danny at the same time but she managed.

She was greeted with the sight of her beloved husband's face, for once filled with emotion. His beautiful teary light blue eyes shone with a loving gleam as he stared at her. He had been laying in the hospital bed, most likely he had been forced to, but as he took in the sight of her he stood up slowly. Before she could say anything, or rush towards him like her heart was shrieking at her to do, he raised his hand. His thumb, index, and pinkie finger were up while his ring and middle fingers were down. His palm faced toward her as his hand moved back and forth slightly. The sign for love. The same sign her sister taught them when she had temporarily lost her hearing.

With a small sob she rushed toward him and he took her and Danny into his arms, where they were always meant to be.

A/N: Hello everyone! Thank you for all the reviews, favorites, and follows they were great motivators to get this next chapter up! I know on the show they probably had Jason get hit by that car so they would have an excuse to why he will look different once Billy Miller starts but while writing this I can't picture anyone as Jason but Steve Burton. Hence why I'm writing my own version of how I think the Jasam reunion should go. I can't believe they had Robin tell Jason he was Danny's father when we couldn't even get a reaction; so for the sake of this story he still doesn't know he's Danny's biological father. Well that's all so enjoy! Please leave me a review, they are really motivating :)
