"Amnesia!?"

"Yes Amnesia, Carly," replied Jason, looking over at the blonde.

"So you forgot everything? But how is that possible, you had that brain tumour removed a year ago. That was suppose to fix everything..." She knew she should just let Jason explain himself. But she couldn't help it. She needed answers to justify why her friend had been away from her for so long.

"Carly, let him explain!" cried Monica to the woman. "He was just getting to that. Someone doesn't need to have a brain tumour to suffer from amnesia. He could had hit his head or fallen down the stairs." The doctor looked on at Carly for a second. The two women had never liked one another.

Carly opened her mouth to say something but before she could, Jason interrupted her. He didn't want to see his friend and mother fight like he knew they would. He held up a hand to silence them. His eyes held Carly's gaze for a second, before continuing on with his story.

"After I fell into the harbour, my body was picked up by a fishing boat. I only remember bits and pieces of that time. I remember the smell of fish being strong. No one spoke English every well. I was conscious for a part of the time. A group of people were standing over me, I remember as I came too. The part is still a little hazy. I just remember the pain and thinking I needed to get back home. I don't remember anything else after that though," he took a moment to pause. He really didn't know how to explain the rest. It was still all a mess in his mind.

"The next thing I recall is waking up in a hospital."

He then went on to explain how he woken up with not knowing who he was or where he was for that matter. The doctors had explained to him that he was in Manhattan, New York and that he had been found in the water and brought in to the hospital. They hadn't been sure where he had come from. They assumed he had been apart of the crew of a fishing boat which had caught on fire after crashing into another boat in the harbour. His body had been found amongst others in the water. They had told him that he had suffered manger head wounds and had been in a comma for four months. They had also thought he had been shot in the back but someone had removed the bullet and stitched him up poorly. The wound had been infected when he arrived at the hospital.

"So you were in a comma for four months and didn't have any idea who you were," Sam was the one to speak this time. She was trying to wrap this all around her head. That her husband, who she thought had been dead for months now had been alive and near by at a hospital in Manhattan.

Jason's blue eyes locked with hers. He nodded his head sadly at her. "I didn't have any clue who I was or anything about myself."

"So if you were in a comma for four months, you woke up in what..."

"February. February 12th," he spoke in a low voice as he thought back to that day. Looking back on it, it was like deja vu. It had been like when he woke up from his accident from years ago that had erased his whole memory and personality. But this time he had woken up alone. There had been no family members or loved ones crowding him. Telling him who he was and so on.

"That was five months ago. It took you that long to remember who you were?" Michael looked on at his uncle in disbelief.

Jason nodded his head in reply, "I didn't know anything and the doctors didn't have any idea who I was either. I apparently had come in with no wallet or I.D. on me. They tried asking the other crew members of the fishing boat who I was but no one had a clue. They just said I had come from the water. I read the newspaper everyday to see if it would trigger anything but it didn't."

"I didn't remember until a few days ago everything." He turned to look over at Sam at this. "I tried to come back to you sooner but I just couldn't. My memory came back to me slowly. The first thing I remembered was the date November 9th." His voice was soft and gentle as he spoke these words. He knew she would remember that date well.

"November 9th?" asked Monica in confusion. The date did not trigger anything for her.

Sam knew that date all too well. Her eyes filled with tears as she met Jason's eye. "My daughter," she whispered, "Our daughter." She then glanced over at Sonny, who reached out and placed a hand on her knee. They rarely talked about the daughter they had lost years ago. But it was something that would always bond them together.

"I didn't remember what happened on that day at first. Just the date brought an emotional response when it was mentioned. That happened after a month of being in the hospital. I didn't have another flashback until the Nurse's ball was mentioned in the newspaper in April," His memory had come back to him in pieces. He would remember little things like dates or the first name of someone. But it wasn't until a few days ago that he regained it fully.

"I know I should had called first but I didn't think you would believe it was really me until you saw me in person. As soon as it came back to me, I knew I had to get back to you and Danny," he was speaking only to Sam now. He brought her hands to his mouth and kissed them. "I'm sorry it took me so long."

Tears fell down her cheeks as she continued to look at him. She gave him a smile. "It's okay, Jason. You are here now and that is all that matters," she leaned forwarded and kissed him. What had happened in the past was over, he was here now. He had finally come back to her and their son. That was all she cared about at that moment.


"So who is that downstairs?" asked Rafe towards Molly. The two teenagers were in Danny's room. The tote was a sleep in his crib. Molly was seated in the rocking chair in the room. She had Josslyne in her lap. She was braiding the young girl's hair.

"That's Jason," spoke up Josslyne, looking up at Rafe who was seated on the floor.

Rafe smiled at the little girl, before returning his attention back on to Molly, who was smiling down at him. "That's right. That's Jason."

"But who is Jason?"

"Jason is Sam's husband and Danny's father," explained Molly as she returned her attention onto Josslyne's hair.

"I thought he was dead," asked the boy in confusion. Sam had briefly told him about her husband, the love of her life and how she had lost him in October.

"We all thought he was dead but apparently we were wrong," replied Molly as she continued to twist Josslyne's long blonde hair.

Rafe frowned at this as he brought his knees up to his chest and hugged them. What did this mean for him? He wondered. He was happy that Sam got her husband back and that Danny would now get to grow up knowing his father. But he couldn't help but think what this new turn events meant for him. He knew the penthouse had been originally Jason's before Sam had moved in. And would be living here now. He feared that Sam would give him up. She had taken him in to not only help him but to fill the emptiness in the Penthouse. So she wasn't alone. But now that Jason was back, Rafe feared his presence in the house wouldn't be welcomed.

Noticing, Rafe's sudden silence, Molly looked up and smiled at him. "Hey don't worry. Jason is a kind and good man. He will like you."

"But what if he doesn't Molly? What if now that he is back, Sam will decided that the house is too crowded and give me up. Sam will want some privacy now with her family. She won't want some kid she took in from the street living underneath her roof anymore," Worry was laced in his words as he looked up at Molly in a panic. If Sam kicked him out, he didn't have any where else to go. He would have to go back into the system.

"Sam not going to kick you out just because Jason is back. She loves you. Danny loves you. Your a part of their lives. They are not just going to get rid of you. Sam wants to help you still. And once Jason gets to know you, he will want to help you too. He is going to love you too and you will too," explained Molly as she finished doing Josslyne's braid.

Rafe just looked on at Molly. He wasn't convinced. He had a feeling that he would be asked to leave soon.

"Hey, if worse comes to worse. You can just come live at the Lake House, again." pointed out Molly, "Just don't let my mom find you this time." She teased, bringing up the time that she had Rafe hidden in her room.

Rafe smiled slightly at this, "Yeah for sure!"


"It's good to have you home," whispered Monica into her son's ear as she embraced him.

Jason hugged his mother back, "It's good to be home."

Monica then pulled away and held Jason's face in her hands. Her face was shinning with tears as she gazed up at him. She couldn't believe after losing her three children, that two of them had come back to her. "I have missed you, Jason."

Jason was never really good at things like this but he put on a bold face and smiled down at his mother. He had missed her too. "I missed you too, Mom," he whispered back as he then leaned down and kissed her cheek.

Mother and Son held each other gazes for a moment longer before Monica brushed away the tears from her face and stepped a side for someone else to have their time with Jason.

"Jase," cried Carly as she stood up from her seat and embraced her friend. She had missed him terribly. For years he had been her rock. The person no matter what she had, she could turn to with out being judged. He had kept her sane. Tears immediately began to fall down her face as she felt the familiar hardness of Jason's chest as his arms wrap around her body. She had missed him.

Jason held Carly as she cried into his neck. He had missed the blonde too. The two friends had always had a deep connection. and yes, Carly could drive him crazy at times. But She was truly an important part of his life.

Carly wiped away her tears as she pulled away from Jason and smiled at him. "We have so much to catch up on," she whispered to him, "but that can wait," she added as she noticed as Jason looked passed her and onto Sam, who had just come downstairs with a still sleeping Danny in her arms.

Jason had a family now. And she knew he would put them first before her. Almost two years ago, when she had found out that he was marrying Sam and that he was putting Sam first. And that they needed boundaries now. She had been pissed. But she was more then happy to becoming second now as she looked on as Jason studied his son. Reaching out, she placed a hand on the crook of his arm before making her way over to where Michael stood with Morgan. She smiled at her two boys.

"Stone Cold," greeted Spinelli to his former roommate and friend.

"Spinelli," greeted back Jason, a smile appearing on his face as Spinelli stuck out his hand towards him. Reaching out, he took Spinelli's hand but instead of shaking it, he pulled him into a hug. Slapping him loudly on the back.

Spinelli was taken back by the hug. Jason was never one for public displays of affection. However, he soon hugged him back before pulling apart. "It's good to have you back. you have been greatly missed!" spoke Spinelli as he smiled at Jason.

Jason nodded his head in deep understanding. He then turned and looked over at Sonny, who had just approached him. The two men eyes met and locked together as they took a step towards each other. Clasping a hand on his back, Sonny smiled at his old friend. "It's good to see you!" he spoke.

"Same here," replied Jason, a slight smile appearing on his face as he looked at his dear old friend. It was good to be back and surrounded by the people that meant the most to him.

And so this continued for a few moments later. As Jason was once again reunited with his friends and family. He was next hugged by Molly and Kristina and surprisingly Alexis. He then spoke to Michael and Morgan briefly before being reintroduced to Ellie, Spinelli's girlfriend.


"So you are alive," stated Jason as he locked eyes with his brother.

"Yeah, never did really die," answered AJ, shrugging his shoulders casually.

Jason nodded his head slowly at this as he eyes his brother. He had never really gotten along with his brother and didn't see himself doing so after this awkward reunion between brothers.

"You look good though bro, specially for someone who was claimed to be dead for so long," commented AJ, playfully. He was trying to break the tension between the two of them. He knew him and Jason had never gotten along in the past. But he really was a changed man and he wanted Jason to see that. "Look. It's good that you are back and well. You have a beautiful family here that have missed you." His tone was serious now as he locked eyes with Jason. He was referring to Sam and Danny.

Jason held his brother's gaze for a moment longer, understanding where he was coming from before feeling someone's hand on his shoulder. He turned immediately around at this. His eyes falling onto Molly and a person he had never met.

"Jason, I wanted you to meet someone," spoke Molly towards the former mobster.

It had been only eight months, but Jason couldn't believe how more older Molly seemed. She had not only grown but she seemed more mature. Molly had always been mature for her age, thought Jason to himself, but there was just something about the way she stood and held herself. She was no longer a little girl but a young woman, he realized. In away, she reminded him of his sister Emily at her age.

"Jason, this is Rafe," spoke Molly as she gestured to the boy standing beside her, "Rafe, this is Jason."

Jason shifted his attention away from Molly and over to the teenager.

"Hi," spoke the boy, nervously holding out a hand towards him.

"Hi," spoke Jason, reaching out and shaking Rafe's hand. He wondered who this boy was? He had never seen Rafe before that he could recall. He wondered if this was Molly's boyfriend. He had vaguely remembered that Molly had been dating TJ, Shawn's nephew last summer. He wondered if this was Molly's new boyfriend. He would have to ask Sam.

"It's nice to meet you," continued on Rafe. He was nervous to meet Jason. He was intimidating. But he wanted to make a good impression and get on Jason's good side.

"Same here," replied Jason as he continued to look on at the teen. He wore is famous Stone Cold gaze.

"Oh good, you have met Rafe!" spoke Sam as she approached the three of them. She held Danny still in her arms.

All three of them shifted their attention towards her. Molly smiled at her sister. "Yeah, I thought it would be good for Rafe to meet Jason," she explained.

"Yeah, for sure," nodded Sam as she adjusted Danny on her hip. She looked from her sister, to Jason. She didn't know how he would take the news of Rafe living with her. She knew that Jason would had taken in the kid too. But she wasn't sure how he would react now at hearing the news that a teenager was living underneath his roof. She smiled warmly at him. She still couldn't believe that he was here. Excitement fluttered in her stomach as they continued to lock eyes. The sexual tension between them could be cut with a knife.

Molly couldn't help but grin as she watched the sparks fly between Jason and Sam. She was so happy for her sister. That once again she had her family back together. The teen glanced over at Rafe, who was looking uncomfortable.

"We should let them be," whispered Molly over to him.

A sigh of relief appeared on his face at this. He was desperate to get away from the couple. He nodded his head in agreement.

Just then, Danny woke up. The tote lifted his head off of Sam's shoulder and looked around the room.

"Hey Danny, good nap?" asked Molly down at her nephew.

"Hey Danny Boy!" spoke Rafe, smiling at the little boy.

A smile appeared on Danny's face as he looked on at Rafe. He then reached for him.

Jason then watched at Rafe took Danny, naturally into his arms. Danny continued to smile at Rafe as he bounced him against his hip. Jason was puzzled by this. Rafe seemed closer to Danny then just being Molly's boyfriend. Guilt immediately came over him, as he watched as the two boys continue to interact with one another. Jason had only gotten to know Danny for a day. He had missed so much of the boy's short life. He hated that.

Noticing the look on his face, Sam reached out and placed a hand on his arm. Jason looked towards her at this. He smiled a sad smile at her. He hated how he had left Sam to raise her son alone. He had promised her that he wanted to be with her and to raise a family together. And then he had just left her, like that. He knew she didn't blame him. But he couldn't help but feel guilty and blaming himself for how things had turned out.


"Do you think I can go home with you and your mom for tonight?" asked Rafe towards Molly as they helped cleaned up the wrapping paper off of the floor. The party was now over and the Davis girls were the only ones left. They were helping clean up.

"Why?" asked Molly in confusion.

"I don't know. I just thought Sam would want some time alone with Jason," he shrugged his shoulders. He knew he lived there too but he couldn't help but feel he would be in the way.

"I'm sure Sam won't mind you staying. You do still live here Rafe. But I can ask my mom for you, though," she answered as she picked up a piece of paper and placed it into the garbage bag that lay between Rafe and her on the floor.


"Do you want me to take Danny for the night?" asked Alexis towards Sam. They were in the kitchen. Sam was loading the dish washer and she was leaning against the counter.

"Why?" asked Sam, looking up towards her mother in confusion.

"I don't know. I thought you might want some time alone with Jason and such," explained Alexis.

"No, Danny sleeps through the night now. Plus I want Danny to spend sometime with Jason," she replied as she closed the dishwasher and turned it on. "I just can't believe he is really here mom. It's been eight months. I thought he was dead. And now he is here! It's just so crazy!"

"I know, it is!" agreed Alexis. It was crazy. Jason being alive all this time they had thought he was dead.

"I'm so happy but so afraid at the same time. I have dreamt about him coming back so many times. I'm afraid that this is all just a dream and I am going to wake up and he is going to be gone," her voice trailed off as she looked away from Alexis and up towards Jason who had just entered the room. He was holding Danny in his arms. Tears immediately stung her eyes at the sight of them together.

"Hi," he spoke awkwardly, looking from Sam and Alexis and back.

"Hi," replied back Sam, "what's up?" Jason had been upstairs changing Danny's diaper.

"I was just wondering where you kept the extra diapers. There were none underneath the changing table like you said, "his voice trailed off slightly. He hated how awkward things felt between them. He had how he felt like a foreigner in his old home.

"Oh," replied Sam, "There is a fresh pack of diapers in the hall closet, on the top shelf. Rafe can show you where they are."

"It's okay, I should be able to find them," he then gave her a reassuring smile before heading back upstairs.

"Urgh," she mumbled as she threw her hands up into the air and buried her face into her hands. She hated how it felt between them. She hated the awkwardness. The shyness between them.

"It will get better," spoke Alexis, reassuring her daughter. "It's just new, for all of you. Once the shock and everything has warn off, things will settle down and feel like normal. "

"I guess," replied Sam, as she looked over at Alexis. She hoped that it would go back to normal for them or as normal as things could be for them. She wasn't really sure if there was a normal for her and Jason anyways. It had been so long since the two of them had lived under the same roof. It would defiantly take some getting use too, she thought to herself.
