"What?" Sonny asked suddenly confused.
She sighed deeply, "the baby, I am having the baby, and if I don't do something quick I will be having the baby in the Quartermaine cemetery"
"I will be there in fifteen minutes, or do you need me to send an ambulance?" he asked worried.
"No I will sit in the car...thank you Sonny" she said before making the short walk to the car.
Alexis checked her watch waiting for another contraction...and all she could think about where two clear blue eyes staring back at her...two blue eyes that should be there with her. Exactly six minutes later ; she heard a car barreling down the highway. The Maserati doors burst open with Max and Sonny jumping out.
Max reached the car first, "Miss Davis, your chariot awaits" he said his eyes sparkling.
He looked so cute and childlike that she didn't want to burst his bubble but when Sonny came, "you drive my car to the hospital and Max you take the Maserati back to Greystone" she said handing the keys to Sonny as she got out of the car.
"You don't want to ride in the Maserati" Max asked like she was committing some grievous sin.
She smiled though annoyed, "I have seen how you two drive in the Maserati, and I am not having this baby in the car on the Expressway"
Sonny made a move to complain but right then another contraction hit, "Ahhh" she said wincing in pain.
He grabbed her from behind and led her to the passenger seat, "Max...I will see you later" he said walking towards the drivers door.

"Jason" the familiar voice cried out in the dark.
When he came to her she was sitting in the corner the markings of a deep bruise on her cheek.
"Are you okay?" he asked worried.
She was white as a ghost, "you...you can't be here...you're...you're dead...you have been for two months"
It really hadn't occurred to him until she had said it, "two months..." he questioned confused.
"You were shot on the docks...they never recovered your body...we just assumed"
He closed his eyes and thought back to the day...it felt like just yesterday...but when he touched the place of the wound there was just a tiny scar.
"Alexis" he said her name a ragged whisper...if it had been two months then she was about 8 months along with their child.
He closed her eyes and pictured her...glowing, radiant, and he didn't even notice the tears stinging his eyes until he began to blink them away.
"How long has she had you?" he asked.
She shook her head, "a couple of days...I think...not more than a week. I was docked in the Mediterranean and one night I was sleeping, and the next thing I knew these men had me...and I ended up here. I've only seen Helena once, but she said she had big plans for me...whatever that means"
Jason got up and slammed his hand into the wall, "It means she plans on using you...probably both of us to cause Alexis pain"
Sam sat there and let the words soak in...Jason wondered how he was going to stop this.

The car ride over seem to last mere seconds and before she could think Sonny was pulling her out of the passenger seat after another contraction passed. This wasn't how she had pictured it when Jason made her pack her overnight bag at five months but here she was.
"Miss Davis" Epiphany said coming from behind the nurse's station.
Elizabeth was already making her way with a wheelchair as Alexis spoke, "the contractions are 11 minutes apart"
"I will call Dr. Lee right now and we will get you prepped" Liz said walking way.
Epiphany looked at Sonny, "I am going to go; you make sure this one doesn't run off anywhere" she said smiling.
This caused Alexis to smile and Sonny spoke, "I promise" he said letting the dimples peak out.
As he wheeled her over to the chairs she began to speak, "okay...first I think we should call Ric and have him take Molly...not that I want him to, but I really don't need to put up with him throwing a fit. Second, you can take Kristina, right?" she barely waited for a nod of the head before she continued, "then I need you to call Carly...and Jax...Nikolas, am I forgetting anyone" she said as Dr. Lee made her way.
"I hear they are 11 minutes apart which means"
"Ahhhhh" she cried perfectly timed.
"We better get you prepped for you c-section" Dr. Lee said taking the handles of the chair.
"Do you have anyone that is going in with you?" she asked.
The mere mention put tears in her eyes but the Sonny's hand came upon her shoulder, "yeah I'm here, where do I scrub in" he asked. Before leaving to scrub in he called Max to let him know the plans.
Alexis smiled and then turned to Epiphany, "can you page Monica for me?"
"Anything for you Miss Davis" the other woman said.

Carly was one of the last to come in the waiting room, with Jax short on her heels. Nikolas, Monica, Alan, Skye, Ned, Emily were all waiting.
"Have you heard anything?" she asked.
Nikolas spoke first, "she is having her c-section, they don't foresee any difficulties, and Sonny promised he would come out and let us know"
"Sonny went in with her good...good, that is good" she said praying silently that Jason was watching over them all.

"Alright, you ready to meet your son?" Dr. Lee asked around the makeshift barrier separating the patient and the wound area.
Alexis smiled and nodded through the tears as Sonny took her hand, a few minutes later she heard the cry.
Kelly pulled the small baby out, "your little boy has a set of lungs on him" she said before handing Sonny the scissors, "want to do the honors?"
He turned to Alexis the tears in his eyes and she nodded, "for Jason" To that he took the scissors and snipped the umbilical cord.
They brought him to Alexis, "he is beautiful" she said the tears falling from her eyes.
Moments later Dr. Lee was sewing her up and finishing.
"They are going to take the baby to the nursery, and she will be in post op for about an hour"
He nodded and turned to a groggy Alexis, "you did good"

Jason woke up a cold sweat on his brow, "Alexis" he mumbled looking around.
When he remembered where he was he sat in the silence and watched Sam sleep...he wondered where she was, what she was doing...for some reason that night he couldn't stop thinking about her. Where she was, what she was wearing, what the swell of her tummy felt like. And he closed his eyes and he pictured her in his arms, and that was the only way he could fall back asleep.

Sonny came through the doors Carly hounded him first, "is she okay, the baby?"
He nodded and looked at the menagerie of people, "she is fine, in post op. The baby is a beautiful little boy that I am told we have a great view at through the right nursery window"
Fifteen minutes later they surrounded the little boy wrapped in mounds of white with a baby blue cap on.
"He is marvelous" Edward said smiling.
Alan looked at him closely a tear escaping his eye, "he looks just like him as a baby"
Monica hugged her husband close to her.
Carly had walked to the side where Jax held her sobbing in his arms.
Sonny stood at the window staring at the little person, "you already have so many people here who love you...your daddy was a truly special person, and I will do my best to make sure you always know that, okay little man" and he went off to check on Alexis.
The next morning people milled in and out of her room...how could you tell a Cassadine or a Quartermaine no in the hospital? Sonny had brought Kristina and Molly early and they sat on the bed with mom and new brother. Monica held her grandson in her arms amazed at the clarity of his eye color...just like her Jason. She had passed him back to Alexis as Carly and Jax walked in.
The two women smiled sadly at each other as Alexis beckoned her closer, "Carly, I would like you to meet Jason Morgan Jr. I think JJ for short" she said passing her to the woman.
Carly's eyes welled up with tears as the infant looked at her, this was there piece of Jason left here on the earth.

Jason woke when the door swung open and Helena walked in.
"Congratulations Mr. Morgan, you have a son" she said throwing him a picture.
It took a moment for his eyes to adjust...but right there on glossy paper through a nursery window was a little bundle with a blue card adorning the basket, "Baby Boy Davis"
He looked up at the monster who stood above him, "am I supposed to believe this, you could have doctored any photo you want"
She laughed almost a cackle at him, "I don't have time for that...your son was born at 7:57 last night"
He turned away fighting back the emotion, Sam looked at him through sleepy eyes.
"So glad you are awake too" she said noticing her.
"We have a long day ahead of us" she told the duo.
They ignored her until she spoke again, "chop, chop, up, up...we have a wedding to attend"
Sam sneered at her "what wedding?"
Helena smiled, "Yours my dear"
A/N: I hope the name is okay...I thought JJ might be cute. And there is a twist at the end...the whole evil Helena plan will come out next chapter. Hope you enjoyed and thanks all the wonderful reviews your feedback is so appreciated!
