Chapter 6.

''So, you are telling me Robin called you with this? It wasn't Alan who told you this?'' Sam said, and Jason nodded. She sighed, she didn't know what to think of the treatment.

The treatment would help Jason regain his memory by some kind of drug that would be pumped into his system. If it didn't work, they didn't know what the side effects were, and they didn't know how long it was going to take.

They did know some of the side effects when it was in his system – he would endure so much pain, and she didn't want him to go through that, but she knew that if he didn't do this, maybe he would not remember at all.

''What do you say, Sam?'' he asked her. ''Should I do it?''

''I don't know, Jason. I know you, or who you used to be, but I don't know what you think about this,'' she replied. ''I want you to remember. I really do, but I don't want you to get hurt because of that drug.''

''I know you don't. But lets not think about that. Would you like it if I returned to Jason Morgan? I mean, you were the only one that fell in love with that guy.''

''Yes, I would like it if I had the Jason back I fell in love with,'' she said, but still thinking how she was going to say all of this. ''But you are just the same, don't you see that?''

''No, I really don't,'' Jason replied, ''my family says I changed a whole lot when I had that accident, but I don't care what they want. Somehow, I care what you want, and that is a sign, right?'' she smiled up at him. They were still sitting on a bench in the park, and she loved this time with him, even if it was about the treatment.

''Listen, I love you, and I don't want you hurt. But if you decide to do that treatment, I will be right behind you. And if you don't, I will be there just the same,'' she said to him, and he smiled at her. He was so handsome when he smiled, Sam thought, and she shook her head. She had to get that out of her head for the time being, because she didn't want to push her luck. She was alreay glad he told her about this.

''Ok. You know what? I'll do the treatment. But I want you with me,'' he said, and he touched her cheek. She leaned against it, and he smiled at her.

Suddenly the air between them changed, and she saw the look in his eyes change. He leaned towards her, and he kissed her softly. It was a gentle and slow kiss, nothing more. And she loved it. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and ran through his hair with her hands, and he pulled her closer to him.

''I'll be with you no matter what,'' she whispered when he broke the kiss, and she closed her eyes, not wanting to cry, not now.

''Thank you,'' he said softly. ''I'm am sorry, but I have to go now.'' She nodded, she knew he had to go.

''Ok, I will see you – call me, ok? When you decide to go in,'' she said, and he nodded. He gave her one last kiss and walked away.

Sam sat there for a while, and then decided to go to the docks to clear her head by the water.


Jason walked over to Robin – he had arrived in the hospital a couple of minutes before and he wanted to talk to Robin. He had her paged, and she came right away.

''Robin,'' he said, and she nodded a greet and he continued. ''I want to do that treatment.''

''Ok, good, I will set it up,'' Robin said with a smile.


Sam said on the bench at the docks when she heard a little girl scream. It was a scream for joy, and she smiled. But soon the little girl ran off the stairs and towards the water, and Sam jumped up and wrapped her arms around the little girls waist.

''Whoa, be careful here ok?'' she said to the little girl, who looked at her. She must be about 4 years old.

''Mommy!'' she yelled, and she heard a woman call out to her child. The little girl looked at Sam, who could see the panic in her eyes. She tried to calm her.

''You don't have to be afraid of me, I just wanted to keep you from falling in the water,'' Sam said to the little girl, and now she smiled at her. Sam smiled back, and she let go of the little girl. She didn't move, she just stood there with the little girl and waited.

''O there you are, you scared me, baby,'' a woman said when she saw the little girl. ''Thank you, for keeping her here.''

''It's ok. She was about to run in the water,'' Sam said with a smile, and the woman smiled back.

''I'm just glad she didn't. I'm Karen,'' she said, and held out her hand. Sam took it and shook it.

''I'm Sam,'' she said, and after that she kneeled in front of the little girl. ''And what's your name?'' The little girl looked at her mother, to see if she could tell this stranger, and Sam smiled. Her mother nodded, and the little girl looked back.

''My name is Lila,'' the little girl said, and the air was knocked out of Sam when she -heard her name.


''Ok, everything is set,'' Robin said, and Jason nodded. He wondered if she had known he would come back and do the treatment, and one look at her said that she did.

''Ok, let me call Sam before I go in ok,'' he said, and Robin nodded.

He walked out of the hospital, he didn't want to call her while inside of it. He hated hospitals, that much he knew.

''This is Sam, but I'm not here…'' he closed his phone when he got voicemail, and tried again, but again it jumped right to voicemail. He wondered where she could be, why she didn't pick up her phone, but he needed to go in. he couldn't wait any longer.

He walked back in and looked for Robin, who he found in a room with Patrick. They were talking about something, but he knocked on the door and they stopped right away.

''Jason, we have to start,'' Patrick said, and Jason nodded. He wanted Sam here, but he couldn't reach her. He told Robin that.

''Jason – I will call Sam later ok? You focus on this treatment,'' she said, and he nodded gratefully. He was glad Robin was so helpful about Sam.

''Ok, I will be outside while you change,'' she said, and he nodded.

He changed, got in the bed and Robin walked back in. She prepared him for the treatment, inserting a needle for the IV and then Patrick walked in with the drug. It was just like water, and he looked at it.

''Ok, you will sleep when this begins to work, but I don't know what will happen after that,'' Robin said again, and Jason nodded. He knew what she knew and didn't know.

''Lets get this over with,'' he said, and Patrick and Robin got to work.
