Disclaimer: I don't own GH or any of the character in this story. You know the spiel.

Anyways, thank you for the comments. I will try to keep the story going and update it every 2 to 3 days when my son allows me the time. I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. Honestly, this story is for the people who think Sam and Jason belong together like I do. Well I hope you enjoy Chapter two of Exposed.

Jason got up off the couch. He didn't quite understand the dream that he had. Where did it come from? It had felt so real. Then he thought about what Liz had said when he got up. "That must have been one hell of a dream." How did she know he was dreaming? "What if I called out Sam's name and she heard?" Wait no; Elizabeth was smiling when she said it. No she must have thought I was dreaming about her. I hope she thought I was thinking about her. Jason didn't have time to keep his thought process going; his thoughts were interrupted by his cell phone ringing. "Yeah." Jason answered, already knowing that it was Sonny.

"Did you find out why she's here?" Sonny asked.

"Supposedly, to see Kristina and Molly since her and Lucky broke up." "She claims that she only wanted to see me to talk about buying that salvage boat from me." Jason explained.

"Do you believe that?" Sonny was expected Jason to give more detail but then again, Jason never gave more information than he felt you needed to know. Especially when it came to his personal life. "I don't know yet Sonny. I need her watched while she's here though. I don't want her near Liz or the kids. She might try something. I just can't figure her out right now and I don't want to chance it." Jason replied, remembering that Sam stood and watched his son get kidnapped, but he didn't say this to Sonny.

"I'll get someone on her ASAP. Is she staying with Alexis? I'll put someone on the lake house and it will look like I'm guarding Kristina." Sonny said wanting to reassure his friend that he wouldn't let anything happen to his son.

"No. She says that she's gonna get a room at Jakes since she's not planning on being here long."

"We can only hope but Jason you know it doesn't take long for Sam to cause problems." Sonny said; giving his friend something to think about.

"Yeah I know." Jason thought about the note from the night before. "Look. I'm getting dressed now. I'll see you at the coffeehouse."

"Okay Jason, just watch your back."

Jason hung up the phone. He needed to get Sam out of town quick. He was still contemplating telling Liz. He knew he had to because Sam would more than likely show up somewhere that Liz was at and he didn't want her to get upset. Jason headed upstairs to the shower. While he let the hot water fall over him he thought about everything: The letter, Liz, Jake's birthday in 2 days, Cameron, Sam, and the dream. It all weighed heavy on his mind. He had to remember to take care of his family first. That meant getting Sam out of town and quick. He decided that he would call her and tell her to give him 20 grand for the boat. He knew that he paid close to 60 but he just needed her out of town and out of his head. He climbed out the shower and got dressed. He opened his cell phone to call her and tell her that she could buy the boat but realized that he didn't even know her number any more. "If I remember Sam at all she'll find me to get what she wants." He thought to himself. He called Liz to make sure she made it to work okay. They spoke for a few moments and decided to have lunch at Kelly's. Jason hung up the phone and headed out the door to the coffeehouse.

Lucky arrived in Port Charles the night before. He got a room at the Metrocourt. He knew he could have stayed at Wyndemere with Nicholas but he knew that Emily would tell Liz that he was here. He didn't need her to know just yet. He wanted to do some investigating on the situation first. He also wondered if Sam was still in town. She hadn't called him since she left. Not even to say she got there. He had to call the airline to check if the flight arrived safely. Now he was back in his hometown that he hadn't seen in about a year. He hadn't been back here since Nicholas remarried Emily. He came for the wedding, which was so awkward because he was the best man and Liz was Emily's Maid of Honor. Cameron was the ring bearer. He missed Cameron. And Jake. He thought back to how he found out that Jake was Jason's son and not his.

He tried so many times to reconnect with Elizabeth. Sure, he was having an affair with Sam for months but he did want to be with his wife. He would have dropped Sam in a heartbeat, in the beginning, if Elizabeth had just let him in. He remembered the day Liz was at the park with the boys and he decided to surprise them and spend some quality time. It was another attempt at trying to become a real family again. But when Lucky showed up to the park, Jason was there holding a then 6 month old Jake. Lucky was behind them and they didn't realize he had walked up. Jason was telling Liz how big Jake had gotten and then Liz said "Yeah and he looks more and more like you everyday Jason. It amazes me that no one has questioned his paternity yet, not even Lucky. He thinks he gets those blue eyes from Laura." And with that Lucky felt his whole world shatter. He felt as if he was punched in the gut. He felt like he couldn't breathe. Cameron must have looked up from what he was doing because just then he started running to him calling out "Daddy." Liz and Jason both turned around shocked and both wondering how long he had been standing there. They both hoped that he hadn't heard what they were saying but the look on Lucky's face told them he had heard the truth. Liz took Jake from Jason and walked over to Lucky. She was trying to think of what to say. Lucky looked at her and looked at Jake. And then Jason. He was speechless. He was angry. He wanted to hit someone, actually two someones but he wouldn't not in front of the boys. He shook his head as he glared at Liz. He picked up Cameron and told Liz, "I'm taking my son home. I'll let you two continue your family outing with your son." And he walked off. Liz stood there and started to cry as Lucky walked away. It wasn't because she was upset she hurt Lucky, it was because she was relieved that she didn't have to lie to him anymore.

2 months and a lot of hot and heavy nights with Sam later, the two decided to leave Port Charles and start over together. They bonded. Sam explained why she never told him that she knew about Jake's paternity and they moved passed it. They moved to LA and he joined the LAPD and Sam continued Everyday Heroes. That was until she said she needed to get away and she gave the show her resignation. They were good together. They had an understanding. They left all the pain and hurt from Port Charles behind. That was until he felt the need to bring up children and their options. He started pressing Sam about adoption and surrogates. He had been stupid to do it. He was determined to have a child of his own once he lost Jake and he didn't even stop to think about asking Sam to marry him before asking her to be a parent and raise a child with him. He loved her and wanted to be with her. He should have been more sensitive to her own emotions on the subject. But he couldn't think about that now. Someone was trying to tell him that Jake could really be his son. "But How?" He thought.

Sam was excited when she got up this morning. She was going to pick up Molly and Kristina from the lake house so that she could take them to lunch. She couldn't believe Molly was four already and that Kristina was almost nine. She jumped in the shower and got dressed. She picked up her phone to check her messages. There was one from the new producer of Everyday Heroes asking her to please rethink her resignation, one from the bank telling her that she would be clear to transfer the money into Jason's account once he gave her a figure, and one from Maxie. She had told Maxie that she was in town. She would feel bad if she had passed through and not at least paid the poor girl a visit. She had been so upset when Sam told her she was leaving. Not because she was leaving with Lucky but because they had become friends of sorts and Maxie didn't have many of those. Maxie's message said that she better call her the minute she woke up. Sam was about to dial Maxie's number when she stopped to think that maybe she should call Lucky. She missed him but she knew that their time together was over. He couldn't understand that she wasn't ready to explore those options to have a child. Not yet. The truth was she had finally reserved herself to the fact that she wasn't going to have children. And as much as she would love to have a child she knew deep in her heart that her Lucky's relationship wouldn't survive it because it was almost like he needed to have a child whether it was with her or not. He wanted to fill the void of losing Jake. She knew the feeling. She felt the same way after she lost her baby. She still thought of what life would be like if Lila had survived. She would be almost 6 now. Sam sighed as she thought of this. Sam shook it off and dialed Maxie.

"Oh my god, Sam it's been too long. Are you back for good?" Maxie screamed into the phone.

"No only a week at most." Sam said and she could hear the frown on Maxie's face.

"Oh, well then I guess I will have to make the most of it while you're here." Maxie tried to act as if she was okay but she was disappointed.

"So I'm taking my sisters out to lunch. How about I meet you for drinks tonight? I'm actually staying at Jake's." Sam asked.

"Sure. That sounds great. I have some errands to run before work and then my shift at the hospital is over at 10. Does that sound good to you?"

"So 10:30 at Jake's it is?" Sam said. "Well then I'll see you later. I have some errands to run myself before lunch."

"Okay. Later. And Sam…"

"Yes Maxie?" "I'm really glad that you're back even if it is just for a little while."

"You know what Maxie, I'm glad to be back too, even for a little while. It's been too long." And with that she hung up the phone.

Sam headed out the door so she could go shopping and pick up some stuff for Molly and Kristina. She had already brought them 2 bags full of clothes each from LA but she felt like she had to make up for the two and a half years she was gone.

Jason met up with Elizabeth at the hospital. She was so happy to see him. She walked over to him as he got off the elevator and gave him a big hug and kiss. "Hey there. I was surprised that you wanted to do lunch." Liz said.

He smiled as he held her. "Yeah well I thought it would be nice. But if you had other plans…"

"Not at all. I'm glad. This is a very welcome surprise." She looked lovingly into his eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a passionate kiss.

"Get a room you two. And not one on my floor." Yelled Epiphany.

The couple laughed and pushed the elevator. "You know that may not be such a bad idea." Liz said as the doors to the elevator opened. They stepped inside and Liz asked Jason, "So to what do I owe this honor?" Jason looked at her and said, "Well since I had to leave home last night and I didn't get back til late, I thought lunch together would be nice but if there was someone else you would rather have lunch with then by all means." Jason laughed. Liz swatted his arm playfully. It felt so good to be able to be with him in the open. No secrets. No hidden feelings. Their entire relationship was based on their friendship and that mutual honesty, respect and love they had for one another. Now they not only had all that but the passion was there and she felt safe with him despite the dangers of his job. And that was something she had always feared, being afraid while she was with him. She would fear that he couldn't make her feel safe if they were together. But none of that existed now. She was happy with Jason. After years of fighting it, they came full circle and were together raising a family. "Liz are you okay" Jason asked. She snapped out of her thought and smiled. "Yes I'm fine. I'm better than fine. I was just thinking about how much I love you and I'm happy we're together finally." "Me too. Let's go eat. Kelly's good for you or the Metrocourt?"

"Kelly's. You know I don't want to see Carly. After all this time, the only thing she like's about me is Jake."

Jason knew what she was talking about. Whenever Carly saw Liz, she rolled her eyes and then ignored her. Carly loved Jake because he was Jason's and not because he was Liz's son. If Liz didn't come with the package she would be more than happy. "Okay. So Kelly's it is." Jason said. They got to Kelly's and sat down. Mike came over to say hello. The waitress took their order and Jason and Liz were talking over how they were going to decorate on Saturday.

Just then the door Kelly's opens and in walks Maxie. She saw Jason and Liz and rolled her eyes. I don't know how Jason stands her. She's so boring. She thought to herself. Well I wonder if they know Sam is here. Maxie knew that there was a way to find out. "Hey Mike how are you." She asked with a smile.

"I'm fine what can I do for you Maxie?"

"I need to get a Cobb salad. My shift starts in a couple of hours so I wanna eat something first. Oh and have you seen Sam yet." She turned from the counter as if to scan the tables for Sam but she was really checking for Liz and Jason's reaction. She said the name loud enough for them to hear. The reaction on Liz's face was priceless. I guess she didn't know. She thought. Jason looked at Maxie and rolled his eyes. Oh but the look on his face said he knew alright. She smiled. "And here I thought they were honest with each other." She said under her breath.

"Maxie, I wasn't aware that Sam was back in town. Are you sure she's here?" Mike asked looking over at Jason.

"Yeah. I'm sure Mike. She called me this morning and said she was going to bring her sisters here for lunch. She was really excited to see them after all this time. So I just wanted to see her before I went to work even though we are going to meet up at Jakes later. But anyway listen to me ramble. Can I get that salad?" Maxie knew she struck a nerve with Liz because she suddenly looked uncomfortable. All she could do was smile.

As if on cue, Sam walked in with Kristina and Molly, all bogged down with tons of bags. Sam was so busy trying to get the bags she had from dropping that she didn't even notice Jason and Liz. Until…

"Hi Jason. Hi Liz. Hi Grandpa Mike." Kristina said. Sam looked up and all the work she had done to keep from dropping the bags was a waste because she dropped every last one.

"Shit" Sam said as she started to pick up the bags.

"Sam you said the S word." Molly felt the need to remind her.

"I'm sorry Molly. Why don't you and Kristina find us a table while I uh, pick all this stuff up." Sam said

"Ok. Come on Krissy." Molly said.

Just then Maxie ran over to help but not befor hugging her while she was still bent down to pick up the bags. "I missed you." Maxie said.

"So I see. Thanks" Sam said trying to keep her balance.

Sam looked up at Jason and Liz and rolled her eyes. "I did the same thing." Maxie said noticing her reaction. "Well I have to go. See you later Sam." Maxie said as she ran to the counter to get her salad and then out the door." Sam got up and walked over to the table to sit down with her sisters. She was not going to let the two of them ruin her afternoon with her sisters. She sat down and said "Okay girls what do you want to eat?"

"Chicken fingers and french fries." Said Kristina.

"Cheeseburger and ice cream." Molly chimed in.

"Okay and I'm going to get a grilled chicken salad." She waved over to the waitress but Mike came over and said "I would like to take this order personally for the cost of a hug."

Sam figured he was talking to Kristina since that was his grand daughter. But Mike looked at Sam and said. "I meant from you. I see Kristina all the time. No offense cupcake. I love you." He threw that in when he saw the look on Kristina's face. Sam laughed and got up. "Hi Mike. How have you been?" She hugged him. It was nice to know she had been missed by someone else from her past.

"Sam it's good to see you. Welcome home. I'm good. And you?"

"It's one of my better days thanks to these two." She said motioning towards Kristina and Molly.

"Grandpa Mike, Sam took us shopping and I got a new DVD player and TV for my room. It's white with pink and purple flowers on it. And she bought me a lot of clothes. Molly got a lot too. Sam brought her a play kitchen set." Kristina had missed Sam and wished she wouldn't go away again so she wanted Sam to know how happy she was to have her back.

"That's great. Isn't it nice to have your big sister back around?"

"Yeah. I keep telling her she should stay and we can hang out all the time." Kristina said. "Right Molly?"

"Right" Molly agreed.

"Well maybe next time I'll stay longer but this trip has to be short sweet peas. Sorry."

Mike took their order and went back behind the counter. Kristina kept trying to convince Sam to stay and then she moved on to telling Sam all about her friends and school and dance class. Sam forgot about Liz and Jason and focused on her sisters.

At another table. "Jason did you know she was back in town." Liz asked clearly annoyed by Sam's presence. Jason looked at her and said, "I found out she was back in town last night."

"So that's what Sonny called you about. Is she the possible threat?" Liz looked worried.

"I'm trying to figure out why she's here. I didn't want to worry you. Supposedly she's only in town for a few days to visit her sisters and then she's leaving." Jason purposely left out that he saw Sam in person.

"You certainly know a lot to have just found out she was in town last night." She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms.

"Elizabeth, it's my job to find things out quick. That's how I keep my family safe. That's how I can protect you and Jake and Cameron. By making sure I know what it is that I'm up against. I can't afford to waste time with things like that and yes that includes ex-girlfriends who could quite possibly be in town to cause problems for my family."

"Okay, I get that. But do you think she's going to cause trouble? For us I mean?"

"She's being watched. She won't be able to get away with anything. As long as she behaves, I'll let her enjoy her family time until she leaves." Jason touched her hand to reassure her.

"And if she tries anything?" Liz asked. "Then I will handle Sam myself." Jason said.

Liz thought to tell Jason about the letter she got the night before. She figured it was probably Sam trying to scare her from being with Jason but she decided not to say anything. He said he's having her watched. Sam won't be able to do anything to us. She looked up at Jason and said "Okay Jason, I trust you."

"Thanks."

"Hey Jason, you know what I was thinking?" She tried to lighten the mood again.

"What's that?" He looked at her waiting for her to speak.

"Well I was watching you in your sleep this morning and you were all sweaty and trying to catch your breath." Jason felt his stomach drop. He held his breath. "At first I thought you might be sick but when I came close to you, you had a smile on you r face and I heard you say that you love me. I clearly understand that you must have been having a hot and heavy sex dream about us, hence all the sweat and heavy breathing, so I was thinking we could get grams to watch the boys tonight and see if we can make that dream come true."

He let out a huge sigh of relief. Jason was relieved she thought that the dream was about her and that he hadn't called out Sam's name but now he really had to get Sam gone. "Liz I would love to spend the night alone with you tonight but we have a shipment coming in tonight and I have to be at the warehouse. How about we ask Audrey to keep the boys tomorrow night and then we can have the night to ourselves and then get up and go do everything for Jakes party Saturday afternoon."

"Okay that would be great. Well I better get back to work. See you later. I love you Jason." She was slightly disappointed. But he had told her what she was getting into by moving in with him. She knew "the rules" of his job. Liz got up and bent down to give him a long hard kiss. She had hoped Sam was watching but she wasn't. She was too into her sisters to even think about Liz. Jason got up and hugged her. He asked her if she wanted a ride back to work. "No I'm okay. I'll see you later at home."

"You'll probably be sleep." He laughed. "You're probably right." And she walked out.

Jason got up and walked over to Sam. "Can I talk to you? In private?" He asked with a stern look on his face. Sam looked up at him annoyed that he would even think she would leave her sisters to go talk to him. "Sorry Jason but as you can see, I'm busy."

"Sam I need to talk to you." Sam turned around and looked where Elizabeth had been sitting. "Damn Elizabeth is gone. I miss her already. She kept you away from me. Nice to know nothing has changed. Why don't you go after her? I'm sure she needs you for something?" Sam said. Every word dripping with sarcasm.

"Sam this is about the business we discussed." Jason said.

"No time like the present but still it will have to wait. I won't discuss business in front of Kristina and Molly and I'm not going to waste time that I have with them to talk to you. If you want you can meet up with me later."

"Fine where?"

"Jakes at 10."She said not even looking at him. She was rebraiding one of Molly's ponytails.

"Jason is Sam going into business with you and Daddy?" Kristina asked.

Sam and Jason both looked shocked. "NO!" They both said at the same time.

"Kristina, honey, why would you ask a question like that?" Sam wondered.

"Just cause you said you won't talk business in front of me and Molly. That's what Daddy always says about me, Michael and Morgan. Him and Jason don't talk business in front of us." Sam smiled at Kristina's innocence.

"Well pretty girl, I'm not going into business with Jason or Sonny. The truth is I want to buy one of Jason's boats from him so he wanted to talk to me about it. But I would much rather talk about your dance classes with you while I'm with you. Jason and I can talk about boats, later." She emphasized the word later.

He took the hint and said "Ten then."

"Everybody say, bye Jason."

"Bye, Jason." The three sisters sang together. And Jason left Kelly's.

Ok. I'm on a writing streak and I'm going to knock out chapters 2 and 3 in one shot. I know this chapter didn't have all the excitement and suspense or sex as the last but it gets better. I promise. Please keep reading and review. Thanks.
