[WARNING] The JaSam scene is cheesy as hell! This is the Christmas special. Thank you for reading.
"What did you do, ask for the biggest, widest tree they had?" Carly asked craning her neck backwards to look up at the dark green tree with white traditional lights spun around it I hadn't added any other decorations to it yet.
"No I told Jason, who told them" I replied opening a box of red ornaments. "You want to help?" Before she could respond with a yes or no I tossed her a box.
She caught it mid way to the ground "Be happy that I have good reflexes"
"I'm happy" I said "What did you get Sonny for Christmas?"
She stood on her tippy toes trying to place an ornament high up on the tree "The new Jag that's supposed to come out next year...in August" She caught the dumb look on my face and smiled "I have connections"
"Sonny is definitely going to be happy" Thankfully Jason isn't much of a materialistic person. I had brought him two watches that he had wanted to buy a couple of weeks ago. He wanted them badly but had thought they were too expensive to buy even though he was rich.
The front door opened and my mom came in. Damn I thought I locked that door. My mom and I had barely spoken to one another over the last seven years. She dropped her purse on the couch. Did that mean she hoped to stay long?
"Sam I was wondering if you and Jason could come over for Christmas dinner with Mac and I? It won't just be us two Lulu,Georgie and Maxie plan to come" I couls see my mother was trying her hardest to be cordial. She may despise Jason but she loved me. And becuase of that I believe she'll do anything to restore our relationship.
"Mom you don't have to do that"
"Sam your my daughter. And I miss you. It's been seven years and you still haven't forgiven me!"
I was hoping she wouldn't bring that back up. "Jason was still in jail. You practically used me to distract Jason long enough not to notice that he was being investigated. If you thought he was that dangerous why would you even go through with it? I should have know something was amiss when you let me date him! It doesn't matter how old I was you would've locked me in a basement for years and tried brainwash me if it meant I wouldn't associate with any one you didn't approve of" All the emotions that I supressed over the years were coming to a boil. " And do you beleive that Mac can sit there for a entire hour with Jason at his table?"
"That's not fair Sam. It's not. And if it meant making me happy I'm pretty sure that he will"
I sighed, fed up. I knew it wasn't right to act this way with her but I couldn't stop thinking that it was her fault that this all happened. "We can't go any way. The Drakes invited us over or Christmas so that's where we'll be"
"That's fine. It's fine. I'll just see you another time" She grabbed her purse from the couch and actually sniffled on her way to the door.
"Mom" I couldn't let her leave like this. "We could have dinner...maybe after Christmas?"
Her face brightened "That'll be great just call me when your free"
"I will" I replied. She skipped out the door and I let out a breath that I'd been holding far too long.
"Whoa. You sure have some family issues" Carly said.
"Shut it. And decorate" I snapped.
Jason was beyond anxious to get me downstairs to the christmas tree. He woke me up with sweaty hands and I was so tired that he half carried me down the stairs. The tree was pretty full since my mom, the Drakes, and the Quartermaines had given us gifts. Soon we were surrounded by crinkled wrapping paper and Jaso nwas wearing one of his new watches which he loved. He handed me a small white box to open after every thing else had been unwrapped. I opened the box to find a small black box.
This was was big. I looked from the box to Jason back to the box.
"Jason...."
"Samantha I love you. I've been in love with you since I was a teenager. You've been my god given solace while I was locked up. You were what kept me going. Sam you never gave up on, never lost faith...."
Jason was explaining all the reasons that he wanted to marry me and I could barely think, let alone tal. How the hell was I going to say 'yes'? Sam open your mouth!
"Will you Sam? Will you marry me?" Jason proposed, he opened the black box to pick up a a band with a crown of sparklling diamonds.
I nodded, "Oh god yes Jason" It's what I've been wanting for years.
"He pushed the ring on to my shaky fingers and kissed me. He coiled his figners with mine and we laid there by the fireplace smiling thinking about the wonderful future that was to come.
Carly was squeezing me so hard I thought I would die. "Your getting married! Your getting married!"
Just like a kid I jumped around the room with her happier than anyone in the world "It's unbeleviable isn't it?"
"Not really we both know how Jason feels about you. It was only a matter of time before he would've proposed. God and I'm going to be the Maid of Honor and Sonny is the Best Man. Kind of fate right?"
"Sounds like it" I said, fixing my dressin the mirror. We were going over to the Quartermaines to tell Monica and the rest about the engagement and like always you could never predict what their reactions would be. They weren't a predictable family.
"Don't worry Sam. Everything is going to work out. Plus you basically had dinner over there every week for seven years they love you"
"I hope your right"
Monica hugged me closely to her, tears of joy were falling down her cheeks. "We will be so honored to have you apart of our family Sam"
"Wow for a minute there I thought we were all dying off. Looks like the big man is throwing us a life line." Tracy crackled.
Alan patted Jason on the back after a hug "Wow my son is becoming a man"
"I think he's been a man for many years dad" Emily said "Where were you planning to have it?"
"I have no clue once so ever" I answered truthfully "I don't belong to any church or--"
"You can have it here!" Edward pitched in.
"That's a great idea. What do you think Jason?"
"It doesn't matter where we get married as long as it's soon" Was Jason's simple answer.
"Oh hell. The happy little family is here" Tracy announed we all turned towards the door to find Luke, Elizabeth and Lucky.
"Hey Sam! Have you seen Carly today?" Lucky asked.
I nodded "Yeah I saw her earlier at our place when I told her about the engagement"
Liz stepped forward she looked at Jason but the question was directed at me "What engagement?"
Jason proposed this morning we are going to get married" I couldn't help but rub it in her face. I lifted my hand wiggling my ring finger.
"When is your wedding date?" Lucky asked oblivious to what Liz's reaction meant.
"Soon" Jason responded still on cloud nine.
"How soon?" Liz asked.
"We aren't sure yet"
Lucky slung an arm around her neck "Congradulations to the both of you then. we just wanted to come by and...."
"Are you sure she looked jealous Sam? I can't belive that she's still hung up on Jason I thought she'd received closure when she visited him last year"
I stopped picking greens "She visited Jason?" I exclaimed.
"You didn't know that?" Robin asked regretfully she stomped her foot "I really need to learn how to close me mouth.
Pt 2 of this Christmas special is going to be written now but I don't know if it'll be on this morning check back in later on tonight though!
