"Sam get Alana out of here." Jason said, as he stared at the sight before him.
Sam slowly picked up a crying, and histerical Alana. She whispered soothing words to her as she exited the room with her.
Jason glared hard at the sight in front of him. There in Alana's clost were tons of pictures of Sam, Jason and Alana at different times. There were pictures of them at the park, where Jason first saw Sam and Alana. There were pictures of them watching The Little Mermaid, and pictures of them at the park. One picture in particular, was of Sam and Jason sharing a kiss in the park. It had a large red X through it. Jason knew exactly what this was. It was a message to him, that his enemies were watching, and they were watching closely. He had put Sam and Alana in danger, and he hated himself so much for it.
In a pure fit of rage, he ripped every picture from the walls on Alana's closet, and tore them to shredds. Whoever had done this was going to pay, with their life. After calming himself, just a bit, Jason walked into the living room, and saw that Alana hed fallen into a deep sleep. She was cuddled in Sam's arms. Sam had silent tears falling from her unreadable eyes. Jason hated to see her like this, and he hated that it was hit fault.
"Sam." he whispered, his voice hoarse. Tears rimmed his sapphire eyes.
Sam instantly turned her head to face him. She rose from the floor, with Alana still asleep in her arms. Sh looked him in the eyes, before walking right past him, towards Alana's room.
Jason let one tear drop from his eye, and headed towards the door. Sam didn't trust him, and he accepted it. He pulled the doorknob open, and one foot was past the threshold when....
"Where are you going?" Sam asked, truly puzzled.
"Away" he said, he didn't want her to see that this hurt him.
"Why wuuld you leave, I mean Alana and I both want you here, with us" Sam countered. She really didn't want Jason to walk out on her.
"I'm the reason you and Alana are in danger Sam, I can't put you two through this." Jason responded. He loved Sam and Alana to much to lose either one of him, Especially not because he made the mistake of forgeting who he is and what he does, and letting himself be around Alana.
"When have I ever been one to run?" Sam replied, "Jason, come on this is what I do, I am a P.I."
"Yeah one I would like to keep alive" Jason said in response.
"Jason I can't just run from this, you know that" Sam said, "and what would Alana say if she knew that you weren't coming back."
"Never" Alana wimpered. She had heard the whole conversation. pretending to be asleep in her room. Alana looked at Jason his blue eyes staring into hers, and vice versa. Jason couldn't break this little girl's heart, so he answered,
"No."
Alana boundeed across the room, and leapt in Jason's arms. "Promise me you will never leave me or my momma" Alana demanded.
Jason held her tighter and whispered, "I promise"
Sam had tears falling from her eyes again. She found herself secretly wish Alana was Jason's dauhter. She made up her ming right then, that she would have a paternity test done. If Justin was Alana's father, she would have to accept that, but she would ask Jason to adopt Alana and give her his last name. If Alana was Jason's, well then Alana would get Jason's last name, and Jason would have a daughter, who would truly be daddy's little girl. Afterall, Alana already had Jason wrapped around her small finger.
Jason saw Sam crying, and walked over tto her with Alana still in his arms. He hugged Sam close, and whispered "Everything is going to be okay."
Sam trusted Jason when he said that. She trusted that he would protect herself and Alana, and she trusted that Jason meant what he had said to Alana.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After Jason told Alana abou Africa and Hawaii, Alana had finally fallen asleep in his arms. Jason smiled down at her feeling conent. He was happy, and whole. Two things he hadn't been since Sam had left town. He was so glad she was back, and as he looked down at Alana, he found himself hoping and praying he was her father. He loved her so much, it was unbearable to think of her being the daughter of this Justin guy. When Jason thought the name, his whole body stiffened completely. He had remembered Sam's eyes vividly when she was telling her story. They were cold, and lifeless. He hated seeing such a vibrant, happy person like Sam, hurt and quiet. If there was on thing Sam wasn't, it was quiet. In their relationship, Jason was the quiet one, and Sam was the one who brought out the playful side in him. He loved that she was the only one that could do this to him.
Slowly, Jason rose from the couch, Alana clutching his arm tightly. He entered her room, and laid her down wih such softness, and tucked her in, dropping a kiss on her forehead. She wriggled in her sleep, and a small smile grew on her face at that.
*Just like her mother* Jason thought, *always so alive, even in her sleep.*
Jason walked back into the living room, and spotted Sam sitting on the couch, deep in thought. Serious thought.
"Sam" he whispered, hating that he was interrupting her thoughts.
"Yes?" she asked back.
"What do we do now?"Jason asked, "I mean, I know you don't want to run, but I can' let you and Alana remain in danger."
"We fight" Sam declared.
"Sam I can' let you put yourself in that situation. I can allow you to risk your life. If something happened to you, Alana would be devastated, and I don't wan to have to explain to her, that her moher died because of me." Jason answered, releasing his inner thoughts.
"Why do you blame yourself, when I don't?"asked Sam, "Jason I know what being around you comes with. I accepted the fact that your life is dangerous a long time ago. I have always looked past that, and seen the real you. The man who wants a real family, that includes a wife and kids. The only problem Jason, is that this is the only life you know. But, I don't care. Jason I care way too much about you to run."
"Sam..." Jason started.
"Don't Sam me Jason, I am not running, and, and you promised Alana that you would stay, so you have to honor that promise." Sam had tears cacading down her face.
"I will honor my promise." Jason said, "but I will not lose you or Alana in the process."
The tears fell faster down Sam's face. Jason looked at her and pulled her into the safety of his arms. He didn't want to hurt her like her family had by abandoning her, but he would risk it, if it meant that she was safe.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day, Sam awoke to find a long stemmed red rose on the pillow beside her. She smiled, knowing it was from Jason. There was alos a note, explaining tha he had some things he needed to take care of, and tha she and Alana were free to roam Port Charles, but that there would be guards tailing them, at a distance, as not to scare Alana, but to make sure they were safe in his absence.
Sam rose from bed, and decided to go get Alana, and wake her up. Imagine her surprise, when she found Alana sitting in the living room watching tv, with a smile on her face.
"Alana what are you doing up so early?" asked Sam.
"Jason made breakfast, and I smelled it, so I got up!" she smiled.
Sam smiled a her ittle girl. She loved her with all he heart, and once again, she found herself wishing Jason was her father.
Alana noticed her mother was staring intently at her, Finally she decided to ask the question, she had benn dying to ask all day.
"Mommy, how come Jason and I have he same eyes, but your are brown?" she inquired.
This made Sam pause. Alana's eyes were the same color as Jason's, but Justin also had blue eyes, so Sam responded,
"God gave you blue eyes, because they are the window to your soul." she said.
"My soul?" Alana question, "what's that?"
"It's what makes you, you, and it's what makes me, me" Sam answered.
"Mommy?" Alana spoke "can we go visit Lila's grandpa today"
"Sure" said Sam, "but why"
"I wants more cookies!" she beamed, showing all her front teeth.
"Alright kid" Sam reponded, ruffling the hair on Alan's head, just let Mommy go get changed."
Sam rose from the couch, and went to take a shower, then she cleaned up Alana, who had gotten herself into Sam's makeup bag.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sam and Alana walked into Kelly's slowly. They door shut behind them, causing the bell on top to go off. Everyone turned in their direction: Elizabeth, Lucky, Alexis, Mike, Carly, Maxie, Spinelli, and Nicholas.
*Great* Sam thought.
"Sam!" Maxie shreiked, before running toward her. Sam didn't know how to react, but smiled when Maxie engulfed her in a hug. Spinelli was not far behind.
Alana looked at her mother with a puzzled expression, when Maxie and Spinelli hugged her also. Sam giggled, and decided it was time Alana know her aunt and uncle.
"Alana sweetie, this is your Aunt Maxie, and your uncle Spinelli." Sam answered her facial epression, "they are some of mommy's old friends.
"Did you just say mommy?" Carly spoke, truly shocked.
"Hi Carly" Sam said.
Carly walked toward Sam, Alana, Maxie, and Spinelli. She looked down at Alana, noticed her eye color, and tears well-up in her eyes.
*Why is she crying* Sam wondered.
"Oh Sam!" Carly exclaimed before hugging her. When Sam released Sam, she came face to face with Alexis, Nicholas, and Elizabeth. Three people she never wanted to see again.
