Sam and Jason finally managed to calm Alana down, and put her to bed. She had been so scared of losing both Sam and Jason after the encounter in the park.
"Sleep tight baby girl" said Sam, dropping a soft kiss upon Alana's head.
"We need to talk" Jason said once he and Sam re-entered the living room.
"I know" she said, leading Jason to a seat on the couch.
"Sam we need to find out if Alana is my daughter or not." Jason began.
"I know" said Sam "but honestsly I'm scared that hearts will be broken if the test results aren't what they should be."
"What do you mean?" asked Jason.
Inhaling deeply, Sam deided to explain, "I love you Jason, and I want Alana to be your daughter, not Justin's. A man like him doesn't deserve to be a father, he deserves to rot in hell. Alana already believes that you are her father, and I have never told her who her real dad is. She loves you Jason, and I'm scared that if Justin's the father, I'm gonna have to tell Alana, that the mean man in the park who made mommy mad is her father. Alana is just like me in so many ways. She pretends to be tough, but Jason telling her this, it could very well destroy her. I mean how could I make a child with something as sadistic, and evil as Justin?"
"Don't" Jason said, "don't blame yourself, because of what he did, Sam. Justin raped you, and walked out on you."
"I should have known what kind of man he was" Sam said, "he was too nice."
"Hey" said Jason "you deserve the world Sam, you deserve so much more than that bastard can give you. You were vulnurable when you met him, and he knew all the right things to say and do, to make you fall for him"
"He" said Sam, through tears "could be Alana's dad. Why don't you hate me as much as I hate myself right now?"
"Biologically, yes, he Justin could be Alana's dad, but he's not there for her Sam! You've been Alana's mother and father for four years of her life. You had to do it alone, but not anymore! I'm here, and I am not leaving. No matter what happens, I'll be here Sam. If Alana is Justin's daughter, I'll still continue to love her, just like I love you. I could never hate you." Jason said.
Sam looked at Jason in a whole new light. He had just told her things she had dreamed of him saying. He had told her that he could never hate her, and that he wasn't leaving, and he would always be Alana's father.
"Sam come here" Jason said, soothingly.
He held her close to him, and wiped her tears with his thumb. After hearing Sam say all those things, Jason began to really think about his life. He started to think about how distant he was from his mother, and the rest of the Quartermaine family. His family.
Before Jason could think about what he was saying, he spoke loudly. "What do you think about introducing Alana to the Quartermianes?"
"Are you sure?" asked Sam "I mean I know you don't go around them much."
"Alana is bound to run into one of them soon enough. Besides Edward likes you, so do Alice, and Monica." responded Jason.
"What about Tracy?" asked Sam.
"She'll probably have something to say, but what else in new?" Jason replied.
"Alright" said Sam "tomorrow you and I will takee Alana to see the Quartermaine's"
"I may have to work" said Jason. He and the Quartermaines had become somewhat closer, but he still felt some what uncomfortable in that house.
"We're not going without you" answered Sam. She wanted Jason to be there when the Q's met Alana, and she didn't want to be there alone.
"Alright, I'll see what I can do" said Jason, "now go get some sleep"
"Come with me" said Sam, holding her hands out towards him. Jason grasped them , and the two headed off to Sam's room, both so tired that when they hit the bed they cuddled and fell asleep, quickly.
"Mommy, mommy!" Alana said, bursting into her mothers room, "wake up!, wake up! Jason coooked us some good breakfast!"
"I see" said Sam, when she saw the Jelly smeared on Alana's chin.
"It's really good" she commented happily, before turning and skipping back to the kitchen.
Sam rose from her bed, and stretched. She had been so tired last night, after such a long day, it was all to much, even for her. She didn't know what she would do if she didn't have Jason here to help her like he had last night, when she'd had a complete melt down.
Sam could here Alana in the kitchen giggling her head off. Sam was so glad that Alana took to Jason so well.
"Hey you two" Sam said entering the kitchen, to see Alana being tickled by Jason.
"Hey" Jason responded, when he saw Sam enter the kitchen.
"Mommy, Jason said we have a big day today" Alana announced.
"Oh really what did Jason say?" asked Sam, sitting down to help herself to some breakfast.
"He said you and I were gonna go see the Quartermans's" Alana beamed.
"Ouartermaine's" Sam corrected.
"That's what I said, silly mommy" Alana said, smiling a toothy smile.
Jasom smirked. Sam looked at him with a playful glare.
"Alana wouldn't you have more fun if Jason came with us?" Sam prompted.
"Yeah!" Alana smiled, her eyes lighting up.
Jason looked at Sam, she knew that he could never say no to Alana.
"Jason will you pleeeease, with a big cookie on top, come with us?" asked Alana, making her best puppy-dog face.
"Sure, why not" Jason relented. He never could say no to her.
"Why don't I go get Alana cleaned up, and you can go home and take a shower?" Sam suggested.
"Okay" said Jason. before planting a kiss on Alana's head, and pecking Sam on the lips, "I'll be back soon."
"By Jason!" said Alana to Jason's retreating from.
Two hours later, Sam had cleaned up Alana, and placed her in front of the tv to watch cartoons, while she showered, changed clother, did her hair and make-up, and stressed over what seeing the Quartermaine's would be like.
Jason opened the door, and saw Alana watching cartoons, laughing her head off.
"Hi Jason!" she said, when she spotted him, running up and hugging his pant leg.
"Hey" Jason said picking her up in his arms and hugging her back.
"Where's your mom?" Jason asked, when he noticed that Sam still hadn't emerged from her room.
"I don't know" Alana sung.
"I'll go find her" said Jason, rising from his seat on the couch.
Jason walked into Sam's room, and saw her pacing. He knew what she was thinking about. Seeing the Quartermaine's was making him kinda nervous too.
"You okay?" asked Jason, stopping Sam dead in her tracks.
"Yeah" she said, "you ready to go?"
"I am!" Alana exclaimed, revealing herself from behind Jason.
Jason picked her up, and grabbed Sam's hand as they made their way out the door.
"Finally" Alana said. climbing out of the car.
Jason, and Sam both smiled down at the little girl.
"What?" she said innocently, "I like action"
"Come on kid, let's go" said Sam laughing at her daughter.
Jason knocked on the door timidly. It had been a long time since he "knocked" on the Quartermaine's door.
Naturally, Alice opened it.
"Sam" Alice said warmly.
"Hi Alice" said Sam with a smile on her face.
"Ah, and who is this?" Alice said looking down at Alana.
"I'm Alana!" she said jumping up and down, and expanding her arms.
"Well Alana would you like to come in?" Alice asked.
"Yes!" Alana said.
When she entered, her mouth formed a large O. She had never seen a house this big. It was amazing.
"Do you like it?" asked Alice.
"I love it!" she beamed.
Sam and Jason smiled as Alana looked around the place.
"Well I take it your all here to see the Quartemaines" said Alice.
"Yes" said Jason.
Alana, Sam, and Jason all followed behind Alice.
Alice opened the door, and the family of three entered in to the living room.
Edward was the first to notice the three new visitors. Monica followed closely behind, saving Tracy for last.
"Samantha McCall?" asked Edward, not quite believing his eyes.
"Hello Edward" said Sam, a warm smile placed on her face.
Edward walked over to her, and pulled her into a hug.
"Jason" said Monica. She was shocked to see him.
Jason embraced his mom in a hug.
"How have you been?" asked Edward once he finally released Sam.
"We've been fine." Sam answered.
"We?" Edward asked.
Before he he got the chance to receive an answer, Monica had spoken up.
"Who's this?" she asked, gesturing to Alana, who was holding on to Jason's hand.
"This is Alana" Sam answered, "my daughter."
Silence engulfed the room. All eyes were on Alana who had no problem with it. She just smiled proudly.
"Biologically?" asked Monica.
"Yes" answered Sam.
"Hello everybody, I'm Alana" she said, causing the tension in the room to decrease, and everyone to smile.
"Hello Alana, I'm Edward, this is Monica, and this is Tracy." said Edward, a hige smile placed on his face.
Alana walked around to all three, and shook there hands. She did it confidently.
"Well, please why dont you all have a seat." offer Monica.
"No thanks" both Sam and Jason answered. They both perferred to remain standing just like Edward and Monica.
Alana however, decided to take a seat on the couch right next to Tracy.
Tracy looked down at Alana, and Alana looked up at Tracy.
"Pretty necklace" Alana said, tryingto make conversation withTracy.
"Thanks kid, nice earings" Tracy responded.
"It's Alana" Alana inforced, "and thank-you very much for the compliment."
Sam had to stifle a giggle at that one.
Very few people had ever stood up to Tracy.
"I like you Alana" siad Tracy, genuinely.
"I like you too."said Alana, smiling.
"She's definitely got your smile Sam, because we alL know Jason over there never smiles." Luke Spencer said entering the room from the balcony.
"Nuh huh, Jason does to smile" defended Alana, "he smiles whenever he's around me and my mommy"
All eyes went to a blushing Sam, and a stone-like Jason.
"Is that so?" Luke asked walking over to Alana.
"Yup" she answered proudly.
Luke smiled in her face. He liked her she had spunk.
"Is Alana Jason's?" asked Edward.
Sam avoided everyones eyes, color filling her cheeks.
Jason slipped his hand around Sam's for comfort. He knew she didn't want to discuss this with Alana in the room.
"Yes" answered Alana. She didn't care what anyone said Jason was the best father she could ever dream of.
Both Sam and Jason looked at Alana, who was smiling.
Edward and Monica looked at Sam and Jason.
The room became quiet once again at this.
"Ms. Alice!" Alana said from her place on the couch.
Alice appeared suddenly around the corner, a smile on her face.
"Yes Ms. Alana?" said Alice.
"May I have a big cookie, please?" she questioned. If there was one thing Alana had it was a sweet tooth.
Alice looked to Sam and Jason for approval. Both nodded suddenly.
"Sure thing" said Alice diapperaing once again.
When Alice returned Monica was engaging in a conversation with Sam and Jason, while Alana entertained Edward, Tracy and Luke.
Somehow Alana, had mangaed to get Edward and Luked wrapped around her finger right along with Jason.
"It's time to go" Sam said when she noticed Alana's eyes getting droopy.
Jason picked Alana up, and followed Sam out to the car.
"Told you it wouldn't be that bad" said Sam when they walked through the door of Sam's apartment.
"I guess" said Jason, his mind still focused on what Alana said earlier.
Jason walked into Alana's room.
"Jason" Alana whispered.
"Hey" Jason said.
"Can I ask you a question?" she asked.
"Sure" Jason answered.
