AN: Thanks reviewers! You all are awesome...hope you like; there is a bit of a twist at the end...but thanks for the support of this story; you inspire me!

He struggled against the restraints and she smiled at him, "you really are built like a Greek statue" she said as she ran her finger over his naked abs.

As he looked at her he leveled death glare...a fury was lit behind those baby blues.

"Oh, I like that...there is a fire that burns in your eyes...nothing like my little mouse Natasha" she said her smile turning into a frown.

Jason looked at her again, "what the hell do you want?" he asked again this time lifting his neck to sneer at her.

"In due time Mr. Morgan...due time" she said before pulling out the syringe.

He struggled until three burly men came and held him down and she poked his tanned arm, "there, there Mr. Morgan...get some rest; I have plans for you"

oOoOoOoOo

"Mommy, mommy" a little voice said patting her cheek.

Alexis peeled her eyes open to a little brown haired girl, "daddy is here making breakfast...and Mikey and Morgan are here too" she told her.

She nodded and then kissed her on the forehead sending her back out. It wasn't the first time Sonny had been over there...so she pulled on the yoga pants and hoped for a semi normal day.

When she came out Michael had a Chinese checkers set out and was teaching Kristina while Morgan rolled a ball back and forth to Molly.

"Morning" Sonny said with a sad smile.

Alexis smiled back...it was weird that the one person in the world who understood exactly what she was going through was once again Sonny Corinthos.

"Miss Lexi getting fat!" Morgan exclaimed.

What usually would cause a pregnant woman pain made Alexis want to chuckle. Especially when the two older Corinthos' men; including Michael; looked at him like he had three heads.

"Morgan, Alexis' isn't fat...she is having a baby...remember we talked about this. Alexis and Uncle Jason are having a baby"

It was at that moment her heart broke when little Morgan's eyes sparkled, "Uncle Jason...Uncle Jason is in heaven with the angels" he said and the room got silent.

Alexis turned around and walked swiftly back to the room where she fell into sobs on the bed.

Sonny put Michael in charge of keeping an eye on the kids and he followed her down the hall.

When he got into the room she lay on the bed with a pale blue shirt in her grasp. She cried silently and he came to sit next to her rubbing small circles up her back.

Finally the tears subsided and she muttered, "sorry"

He shook his head and laid her head back on his shoulder, "Don't be" he said quickly.

Finally she turned to him, "when does it stop hurting?" she asked innocently.

"I don't know if losing Jason will ever stop hurting" she said honestly.

Sonny fought back the tears...he would never forget the day he lost his brother, his best friend, "No one is expecting you too Alexis...no one is expecting any of us too...Jason was, Jason wasn't the kind of person you meet everyday...this world is incomplete without him"

"Thank you Sonny" she said getting up and drying her tears.

"For what?"

"For getting it" she said simply.

OooOoOoOo

When Sonny left he took Kristina with him; he had offered to take Molly too but Ric was coming to pick his daughter up later that day and the one thing she was trying to do was keep the peace with Ric. Every time he came around her blood pressure seemed to soar. Not only was he unsympathetic but he seemed to be doing nothing in helping to find Jason's killer...not that she had expected him to.

When she heard the knock on the door she scooped her little chubby cheeked girl and propped her onto her hip. She swung open the door and Ric marched right past her.

"I heard Sonny was here earlier" he said surveying the place.

She rolled her eyes, "I'm sure you did...tell Lucky I will wave to him next time he drives past"

"You didn't expect me not to have surveillance...I mean your lover was killed on the docks...I don't want them coming after you and hurting the girls" he said condescendingly.

"Bye, bye sweetie...Mommy will miss you" she said not paying attention and handing the girl over to her father.

Ric opened his mouth to speak once more, "goodbye Ric" she said before ushering him out the door.

She went in to lay down feeling exhausted.

OooOoOoOo

He heard the wail of the baby and rolled next to her, "I don't want to get up" she mumbled in the midst of sleep.

"Don't worry baby, I got it" he said climbing out of bed and pulling on his pajama bottoms. He walked down the hallway to the white and blue room. There in the plaid blue crib was the brown haired, blue eyed little boy now sitting up chewing on his blanket.

"Someone hungry" he asked as the boy reached his arms to him.

After the bottle it was apparent that neither were tired so Jason trekked out to the den and flipped on the television.

"Look, our favorite...the Travel channel" he said laying back as the little boy lounged on his chest.

He felt her walking out and he spoke before she was in view, "couldn't sleep"

"Wow those spidey senses must be working...and no, you have ruined me for alone sleep Jason Morgan" she said plopping down.

"What on earth are you watching" she asked.

"The Travel channel on the Galapagos Islands" he said smiling.

"Huh, buddy" he said looking at the little boy who was snoozing peacefully on his chest.

"Guess you bored him to sleep" she said a dimple peaking out at him.

He smiled back, "oh really, am I boring"

She leaned in for a kiss, "boring is not the word I would use for you"

Suddenly his mouth felt heavy, and everything started to fade away. He reached his arm to touch her, wrapped his arms around his son as everything dissipated.

"Alexis, Alexis" he yelled as everything slipped away.

OooOoOoOo

"Daddy, higher Daddy higher" the little boy with the curly brown hair yelled.

She smiled watching Molly run straight for the monkey bars, "Yes higher daddy, higher"

As he sauntered over to her she couldn't help but feel a blush coming to her cheeks...he took off her dark sunglasses and leaned in for a kiss.

"EWWWWWWWW" came from the little boy on the swings.

They turned and smiled at him Jason taking her hand as they walked towards the swings. She couldn't remember a time she felt so happy.

And then she turned to him and in a flash she saw the blood pour from his chest; he strained himself trying to speak. And she screamed as he fell to the ground and she cowered over him the blood flowing through her fingers that pressed the wound.

She woke up gasping for air...she had been having that dream since two days after Jason died. As her heart beat steadied she decided to go out.

As she parked the car she walked down the path her feet crunching the fall leaves. She never expected to see anyone there, but a familiar face from a lifetime ago knelt over the graves.

"Ned" she said smiling sadly.

He didn't turn around at first but spoke instead, "I mourned him once...I didn't know the next time would hurt so badly"

Alexis took a couple steps towards him, "losing people never feels good"

Ned turned to her, "thank you for what you did for my family"

"Yeah well, they are this little guys family too" she said the tears starting to fall.

He reached out and wiped below her eye, "Welcome to the family" he said smiling once more and making his way back to the mansion.

There were no lingering glances to watch him leave; instead just an intense pull to walk over to the slab of marble. Lately she had found herself at the plot more. It was a fight at first to where he would have his marker. Carly had fought against the idea of the site being in the Quartermaine private cemetery

worried that the Q's wouldn't allow her to come see them...but Monica had come to see them personally promising unlimited access and a plot that was planned for him right under their beloved Lila...it was then that Carly relented. Alexis realized Carly was probably the one person who came her more than she as she saw the usual smattering of yellow roses.

She wiped the nonexistent dust off and leaned down holding her belly, "hello my love"

OooOoOoOo

After his dream his body felt heavy probably having something to do with the shot she gave him. And when the two burly men came and picked him up he tried to fight back, but he just felt so weak. They took him down a darkened hallway and unlocked a steel door. Once inside they dropped him like a rag doll and closed and locked the door. He sat on his knees trying to regain his composure when he heard someone moan in the corner. As his eyes adjusted to light he would never believe who he saw.

OooOoOoOo

She shifted positions but nothing seemed comfortable. Finally she just stood there...she started off on her usual ritual; telling him about appointments, complaining and then the first pain hit and she held herself.

"Ow" she said waiting for it to subside.

There would be no risks this time as she picked up her cellphone.

"Sonny" she said as soon as her picked up.

"Alexis, Kristina is fine, I will bring her home later" he said figuring her to being overprotective.

As another pain started to manifest itself she spoke again, "not Kristina...the baby, the baby it's time"

OooOoOoOo

When the light hit the person's face his breath caught...and he questioned.

"Sam?"
