Chapter 6

Sam had just woken up. She realized Jason was no where to be found.

"Carly where's Jason he should be here." Sam said as she came downstairs.

Carly explained everything that had happen and where Jason had went. Sam did not want to hold out for false hope but she wanted to believe Jason was going to bring Danny home.

Jason arrived at the Charleston SC Police station about 5 hours later with Lucky. They had hopped on Sonny's jet. Lucky told Jason he was coming along for support just in case it was not Danny. He also thought the cops would work with him better than Jason.

Lucky had found the lead detective on the case. He explained the couple had not arrived yet and as soon as the go there they were ready. He had told Lucky and Jason that should rest and he would call them. Jason and Lucky said they wanted to stay here just in case. So the detective was nice enough to give them empty holding room to wait in. Jason and Lucky had been in that room forever it seemed like. They had talked about everything it seemed the weather life and everything going on. It was about 4 hours later when the detective said they had a baby and the couple in custody and they were on the way with them now. Jason and Lucky went to wait for them. About 15 minutes later cops came in with a baby and a couple. Jason went up to the baby as soon as he looked into the little blankets holding the little girl he knew it was Danny without a doubt. Jason was holding his little girl again in his arms. She seemed fine but the detective said they wanted to take her to the local clinic to make sure. Jason followed them and Lucky stood behind to question the couple on what they knew. Jason called Carly and told her to tell Sam there little girl was safe and that he would bring her home as soon as he could. Carly was so happy and she knew Sam would be so happy. Sam had come downstairs she had heard Carly talking to Jason. Carly said he was going to bring her home. Her little girl was coming home. Sam was ago happy but little did she know just a minute later her happiness was going to be destroyed. There was a knock on the door. Carly answered the door.

"Alexis what are you doing here." Carly said as Alexis walked in.

"I have heard they found my grand daughter I am hear to make sure that my order of custody is followed. I have sent the proper paper work down to SC they will be bringing my granddaughter back to Port Charles not Jason." Alexis said as she sat down.

"You bitch how could you do this look at your daughter. You really want to do this right now Alexis." Carly said with anger in her eyes.

'" Save your breath the only way she will drop this is I have to walk away from Jason right mother." Sam said staring at her mother.

"Sam don't sound so dramatic. I only want what is best for you and Danny. I am afraid that is not Jason and the sooner you get that the better off you will be." Alexis said. Carly has stepped out and called Diane. She said she was working on over turning Alexis order as they speak. Carly also called Jason to inform his. He said he knew they hit him as soon as he got to the clinic with Danny. They want tell him anything that is going on. They said that Lucky would be escorting the child back unless his attorney could do some fancy foot work. The detective told him he was stalling as much as he could to give Diane time. He wanted to see that little girl going home with her father. Carly was praying someone upstairs was watching out for Danny and knew Sam and Jason was the best thing for her. Carly had went back in and Alexis and Sam were going at it. Alexis said she was leaving had to be in court Diane had requested a hearing to night. Sam and Carly followed behind her. Carly and Sam arrived at the court house. Diane instructed what was happening and that might need Sam they were hoping they did not. They walked into the hearing room and heard Diane and Alexis going at air for about 10 minutes when the judge asked if the mother or father was here. Diane had said the mother was here. Judge Tyler said he would like to hear from Sam. Sam walked up to the stand.

"Young lady what do you have to say about what your mother is accusing." Judge Tyler said.

"Jason Morgan is a coffee importer he has been accused of many crime never charged. My mother would like for all of us to live in her fanacy world. She wants me to be well respected in world. She wants to mold my daughter into the same. I love my mother but for weeks I have lived in constant terror for my little girl. I know she was in danger and I want to just hold her and love her. My mother wants to take that away from me because she think it is right." Sam said with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you Miss McCall for you honesty. I am going to take a few minutes and here all the arguments and try to make the best decision for this little girl." Judge Tyler said as he left the court room. Sam left the stand she could not stand to look at Alexis.

"Sam I know that was hard you even brought tears to my eyes. Which never happens." Diane said.

"I just hope the judge sees it our way." Sam said as Carly was standing by her holding her. Sam felt like she could not stand anymore. She was about to sit down when the judge came back in.

"I did not come to my decision lightly. I weighted everything in making my choice. In the end what is best for this little girl is what matters. It not how she is viewed in the community. "Miss Davis I know you think that Mr. Morgan is in a dangerous profession. I have ran his record he is clean. To take this little girl from the only mother she has known in her short time with us would be in justice at it's best. This mother has been frantic for weeks now and she just wants to be with her daughter. So I am awarding custody to her mother. Miss McCall please call Mr. Morgan and tell him to bring your daughter home. I am going to transfer all the paper work to Sc.. Miss Davis I hope for now on you see your daughter for who she is and not try to change her. We all make mistakes we all learn from them. This hearing is over." Judge Tyler said.

"Oh my god it is over I can bring my daughter home. Thank you so much Diane. I am going to call Jason judges orders." Sam said as she headed out the court room to call Jason.

"Jason it's me Sam please bring our daughter home to us." Sam said as Jason answered the phone.

"We won I can go and get her." Jason said

"Yes please hurry and bring her home. Jason I love you thank you for finding her." Sam said.

"I love you to. I will be there soon with our daughter I promise. Jason got off the phone and Lucky arrived with the paper work. "Looks like you will be bring your little girl home. To be honest I would have never wanted to do it any other way. Order or no order you were bringing that little girl home to her mother first before anyone." Lucky said

"Thank you for everything you have done. There is allot questions I want to ask but right all I want is to get my little girl and take her home. The rest can wait. It seems that all that matter is she is safe I can take her home to Sam." Jason said as they walked in to get Danny and bring her home.

Sam and Carly had called everyone and told them that Danny was on her way back home. When they arrived back at the penthouse everyone was waiting for Danny to come home.

"Sam you look so happy." Maxi said." Okay everyone let Sam come in and catch a breath for a minute she has been through allot tonight." Diane said as she directed Sam to come in and sit.

"Thanks Diane for everything. You are the best that why I pay you the big bucks you know." Sonny said.

"well I hate to say this but this is the first case I had nothing to do with. It was all my client here she just spoke from the heart and tugged at all our heart strings." Diane said sitting down beside Sam.

"I call the Quartermaines they said they would be by soon they did not want to smother you right now. They are so glad Danny is home." Sonny said

"Thanks Sonny it seem so unreal that she is coming home." Sam said.

"She has 2 very loving parents that never gave up on her I have to say a very good cop on her case. Lucky has worked non stop on this Luke told me." Carly said.

"I am grateful for everyone and what they did. I know it is not over people still have to pay. I hope that happens soon but I am just glad she coming home." Sam said.

"Damn they found her." Elizabeth Weber read her text she received from Rick. He had said that Jerry was roaming around he was able to hide him for now. Rick had told her that so far nothing leads back to the. He said for her to be patient. They were going to wait a couple days and move onto the next step of the plan. Elizabeth was hoping this would go down easier than the first. She hated using that little baby as a pawn in this game but Sam started it and she had to see Sam pay for it.

Jason had arrived at the penthouse with his daughter. He had thought about calling Sam and telling her they were here but he decided he would wait and just come straight home. Jason opened the door and everyone was waiting for Danny Sam was sitting on the couch with the biggest smile he had seen on her face in weeks. He carried their daughter over to her waiting mother and place Danny into Sam arms.

"She okay nothing wrong with her.' Sam said as she held her daughter. She was counting her fingers and toes. She kissed her. She had grown a little since Sam saw her last. It seemed to all disappears because she had her baby girl in her arms safe and sound.

"She is okay she was fussy on the plane ride home but I think it was because the elevation and her ears but other than that she was given a clean bill of heath.. I owe all of it to this guy standing right here he has been nonstop on her case for more 24 hours straight." Jason said as he pointed to Lucky.

"I did not do much I am just glad that she is safe and sound . I will say this I hope she looks just as beautiful as Sam and not you. She does have your eyes and hair for sure.' Luck said joking with Jason

"Thank you Lucky for everything you did even if you don't think you did much you did to us." Sam said as she hugged and gave him a peck on the cheek. Before Lucky left he explained to everyone that the couple who brought Danny could not have kids. They tried adopting but there was a waiting list. So they came in touch with this lawyer who wanted 20,000 and he could get them a child. They knew it was wrong. They took there savings to get Danny. They had no ideal she was kidnapped. That's all they knew as far who was behind it they were innocent as they could be. Sam felt sorry for them she did. She knew how it felt to be told you could not have kids. Sam was glad to have Danny back. After everyone left she just sat there staring at Danny's crib. Jason noticed she had been standing in the door way for awhile. "You know she not going anywhere I promise. You can rest now Sam and eat please. You know there's another hero here. What you did in court was courageous and I know it took everything you had in you to do it. The strength and courage you have shown over the last couple of weeks is amazing and the last year to." Jason said holding her.

"You know I owe you a lot of the thanks. You held me together when all I wanted to do was crawl in a hole somewhere and cry." Sam said turning to face Jason.

"You know I did not do much. I was going crazy inside and wanted to scream myself a couple of times." Jason said as he kissed Sam's forehead.

"Well I guess Danny and I are lucky you held it together then." Sam said as Jason pick her and carried her down stairs.

"You are going to eat. We are going to order from the golden dragon." Jason said as he sat Sam down on the couch and ordered food. Jason turned his back for just a few minutes and Sam was gone he knew where he could find her. Jason walked upstairs. Sam was sitting in the rocking chair rocking Danny back to sleep.

"knew I could find you back in here." Jason said staring at Sam.

"Yeah she cried a little I heard her on the monitor." Sam said as she put Danny back in the crib.

"Lets go back downstairs and let her sleep. She has had a rough couple of days or weeks." Jason said.

"you know maybe I should stay close by in case she cries again." Sam said staring at Danny.

"you do know she is safe right her. Max and them are right outside. There are guards every where around the building . Sam she is not going anywhere. I said I would protect her and I meant it. I love her as much as I love her mother and I would give my life for her and you." Jason said.

"I know I am being silly I just want to be with her every minute. I almost lost that chance. " Sam said staring at Jason.

"No you are a mother and you instincts are wanting to kick in. You want to protect her. I know how you feel I am the same way. She is safe and where she belongs so come on you need to eat and food is getting cold." Jason said as he tugged Sam away from Danny and brought her downstairs to eat.

"Can I ask you something if Danny had not gone missing would you ever told me about her." Jason said as they begin to eat. Sam knew this was coming she knew she was going to have to be honest here.

"I would like to think I would have. I planned on it once I knew she was going to be okay. I know either I would have told you or Sonny would have in the end. I knew you would love her Jason . I just did not want her to be obligation you felt you had to take care of." Sam said staring at Jason.

"Danny is not an obligation to me I would take care of her no matter what. I love her very much. Sam you are not an obligation." Jason said.

"Our lives took a different turn somehow and I am not sure where I missed that turn yet. I know you moved on and I did not want to disrupt your life. You had Elizabeth and Jake and I knew we would not fit in that picture. You know what I am tired I am going to bed." Sam said as she stood up to go upstairs and Jason caught her by the arm.

"Sam you and Danny fit right here with me. We made mistake I know but we are her now. I know you want to be here with me so please don't fight it." Jason said.

"I do want to be here. I know in my head you want me here but in my heart I can't trust that. I don't know if I ever can again to be honest." Sam said as she headed up stairs. Jason knew he needed sleep but the fright he saw in Sam's eyes cut him pretty deep. He knew where it was coming from. He knew when Sam was scared she ran he was hoping she did not run again. Jason was laying on the couch when he heard Sam come down the steps. She was not heading down to talk to him she was headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Jason asked

"I could not sleep so I wanted to go for a walk clear my head. Danny is sleeping is I thought I would just go out for a few minutes." Sam said as she put her jacket on.

"Sam it's late you need someone to be with you. Jerry is out there we have no ideal what his plan is. It is not safe for you to be out by yourself." Jason said.

"Jason I can take care of myself so I will be back listen out for Danny please." Sam said as she left. Jason did not like this one bit. He just had to trust Sam would be okay and come back. Of course she would be back she loved Danny.
