6 months along...

Between the babies keeping her up all night and worrying about the court case this morning Sam had gotten very little sleep. She was thankful that the judge had agreed to let her write a letter instead of appearing in court. The ideal of seeing Elizabeth was still something Sam didn't want to think about, but Jason had insisted on being there every day to represent their family.

"How we doing?" Carly asked from across the dining table.

"I just need this to be over with... JJ has been having nightmares; that she's going to take him and the babies. Last night he slept between me and Jason to protect the twins," Sam sighed with a little shrug added in.

"Once the judge locks her away for good JJ will be fine.. You are huge by the way, and it's only two right," Carly tried to lighten the mood.

"They saw only two in there, but they won't show themselves," Sam pouted a little wanting to know what she was having.

"My bet is on JJ because you need some girls," Carly smiled ear to ear.

"Avery does put a smile on your face," Sam mused as she knew that little girl meant the world to Carly.

"I wasn't expecting to be a mom again. Then this sweet baby girl came out of a lot of... You know," Carly trailed off a little.

Without Carly saying a thing she knew something was up with her friend. It was like something Sam couldn't explain to anyone, but she just knew something had happened.

"Talk to me... I know I've got a lot going on, but give me something else to think about," Sam encouraged her friend.

"I'm not sure," Carly hesitated in answering.

"My mind will go to the worse case if you don't spit it out," Sam warned her.

"Ava is alive because Denise is Ava," Carly admitted to Sam.

"Wow," Sam said in shock.

"She tried to take my daughter from me, but the judge ruled that she was legally still dead," Carly told Sam softly.

"What else," Sam asked seeing it was weighing on Carly.

"The worse part was when they let Ava hold her; she screamed as tears rolled down her face. It killed me that my baby had to go through that," Carly teared up as tears welled in her eyes.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all of that, and I will kick your butt after I have these babies for not telling me about this sooner," Sam halfway teased her a bit.

"Well you're the first to know this... Sonny and I are getting married again," Carly showed Sam her ring.

"I knew it was coming... This is so you and Sonny," Sam admired the ring.

"I'm glad you guys let me treat you to the presidential suite, and it gives me an excuse to stop by even more than I already did anyways. Plus it doesn't hurt you're even closer to GH for appointments and going into labor. Two happy healthy babies are an order from me. You know I get what I want more times than not," Carly smirked as she was proud of herself.

As the court broke for lunch Jason just sat there as people filed out of the room until it was empty. It had been about a month since all of this started, and for the last week Sam and Jason had to pull JJ and Danny from school. Every news outlet and tabloid had latched onto this case like leaches. When Danny came home asking what a embryo and surrogate was; Jason and Sam knew that they needed to shield their kids.

"Jason," came Sonny's voice making him looked to see his old friend.

"Hi," Jason replied as Sonny took a seat next to him.

"I thought you could use a friendly face," Sonny eyed his friend.

Since remembering his past Jason had patched things up with Sonny, and he was more than glad to see his friend after the morning he just had.

"That's putting it lightly to say the least... Just sitting here as a lawyer tries to justify what she did to Sam, JJ, and myself. It's making me sick to my stomach after everything," Jason admitted as he looked down at his hands.

"You are not responsible for how sick and twisted that woman is... You are a great husband and father for your family. Are you testifying today or something," Sonny asked his friend and brother.

"No," Jason told Sonny.

"I want you to come with me because you need to get out of this room and place," Sonny stood up to his feet.

"I don't think so," Jason shook his head.

"Then do it for Lila because she wouldn't want you here. You were her father in that short amount of time. She's waited long enough for you to come visit her," Sonny replied knowing Jason too well.

Slowly Jason got up knowing if Sonny was speaking up about it; he had waited way to long to see his daughter since remembering. Without saying another word the two men went out to Sonny's awaiting town car.

"Take him to Queen of Angels graveyard, and afterwards take him wherever he likes," Sonny instructed the driver as Jason got in and then Sonny shut the door behind Jason letting him go alone.

Ever since he had remembered everything Jason tried to push the pain that felt fresh as the day it was inflicted. A part of him couldn't bring himself to go to see the grave where he had laid his daughter to rest with Sam by his side. This time was different because Sam didn't need him to hold her together like he had back then. Before Jason knew it the town car came to a stop, and he opened the door getting out to see Sam.

"Carly told me that you needed me here," Sam admitted as Jason wrapped his arms around her.

"Sonny came to talk some sense into me, and he knew I was avoiding making the trip," Jason replied softly.

"It's been a while since I went to see her too. You're not alone in this at all... For one reason or another I put off visiting for months now," Sam rested her head against Jason's chest.

Together hand in hand Jason and Sam walked back to their daughter's grave to spend sometime with the person who bound them in a special way. Carefully with the help of Jason steadying her Sam took a seat on the ground because her feet were tired from the walk. If she was honest a lot of things made her tired these days; she knew it was from growing two new human lives.

"It's comforting to be here," Jason whispered almost as he felt at peace for the first time since remembering.

"On her birthday we seemed to always talk about her most... One year you told me that it surprised you how at peace you felt holding her. It was like she was there, but at the same time wasn't. Like in some small way she wanted you to be okay because she knew that I would need you more," Sam remembered as Jason crouched down next to her.

"I remember that night... Being here all the pain is still there like a fresh would, but I know that everything is going to be okay for you and me. One foot in front of the other," Jason kissed the top of Sam's head.

"Don't forget, I'm here too," Sam looked up at Jason.

"I'm thinking we might what to come up with a few name ideas, and it would be fitting to include Lila since she brought us together," Jason suggested as he settled on the ground next to Sam.

"With everything going on I hadn't given it much thought... Carly has been pitching Caroline and Jace for girls," Sam trailing off at the end into a a giggle.

"I don't think so," Jason shook his head.

"Tell me a name you like," Sam asked as she snuggled against Jason.

"What do you think of the name Asa for a boy?" Jason suggested as the name popped into his mind.

"Asa... I like that a lot. What made you think of it?" Sam inquired curious.

"It means doctor in Hebrew... When we were apart I looked at the name book you left behind. Seemed like a good strong name," Jason mused as he hated that they had been apart at all ever.

"Hows Asa James Morgan? James after your dad's middle name," Sam asked as she liked the sound of it.

"Sounds good to me," Jason smiled at how Sam thought to include something personal to him.

"Here's another one... Riley Alan Morgan," Sam said as it just came to her.

"I like it," Jason replied surprised that he did like.

"Give me a girl name," Sam encouraged feeling like they were on a roll.

"Kaitlyn Emily Morgan...," Jason said the first thing that came to mind.

"One more," Sam replied as they almost had two for each.

"You're turn," Jason smirked at her.

Sam's mind went back to one choice, but not as a first name but a middle one. Figuring out a first name was the hard part about it.

"Bryce Caroline Morgan," Sam whispered almost under her breath not sure he'd like it.

"We got our names picked out. Asa and Riley or Kaitlyn and Bryce," Jason went in for a kiss.

Sam watched as Jason helped JJ with his home work; as Danny was on the couch trying to learn to read. Her dream of them being a family had come true, but it was better than the dream could have been. Wondering over to the couch Sam sat down next to Danny who closed his book to lean over to kiss Sam's stomach. Then he leaned his ear against her stomach like he was listening.

"What's going on?" Sam asked Danny.

"I'm listening for the babies. Oh," Danny jolted back as he felt a strong kick.

"I felt that too. Someone was saying hi," Sam smiled as Danny snuggled up to his mommy.

"Grandma says that I have to wait lots more before the babies get here. They also have to get lots bigger before they come out," Danny explained to his mommy.

"It's hard waiting for them to be ready, but I had to wait for you to be ready," Sam told Danny as she kissed the top of his head.

"I was in your tummy," Danny asked surprised by this.

"Yes, you were," Sam smiled at her son.

"Was JJ in your tummy too," Danny asked curious.

Quickly Jason came in scooping Danny up flying him around the room making him laugh. As Jason rushed Danny off the room he share with JJ to distract him from his questioned; Sam sat where she was frozen in place as JJ came over to her.

"Mommy, it's okay," JJ whispered as he sat down snuggling up to his mom.

"Thank you, baby," Sam tried to smile, but it didn't reach her eyes.

"You missed this with me," JJ mused softly as he looked up at his mom.

"Sometimes you're too smart for your own good," Sam replied as she kissed his cheek.

"I probably should sleep in my bed tonight," JJ mumbled almost knowing he was too big.

"Hey, if it makes you feel better to stay with me and dad that's fine. There is nothing wrong with staying, I promise," Sam told JJ knowing it was more about her and Jason.

"They kick you a lot at night," JJ changed the subject again.

"I think one wakes up, so then the other one wakes up too. Then they have themselves some fun," Sam smiled a real smile this time.

"Maybe they don't know that it's time for bed. I could help Danny read them a story," JJ suggested, liking helping his little brother.

"That sounds like a great ideal," Sam agreed with her son.

"I'll go help Danny get one ready for bedtime," JJ said as he got up leaving Sam on the couch.

Not long passed before Jason came out alone, and came to sit down by Sam on the couch picking up her feet.

"You look tired," Jason stated as he started rubbing Sam's feet.

"Thank you, that feels amazing," Sam mused, looking Jason's way.

"I love taking care of you," Jason smiled as he enjoyed just being with her.

"Thanks for distracting Danny too. Everything is just too complicated for explaining, and I don't want that on JJ's shoulders let alone Danny's too," Sam whispered almost so the kids wouldn't hear.

The song from last week's chapter was: You're Not Alone; it was completely accidental that it ended up in the chapter. No one got that which surprised me a little. "Adict to reading" & "Franny88" were the only one to guess. However I've only been able to PM with "Franny88", so "Adict to reading" PM if you want to know the secret.

Q: What do you think of Sonny and Jason in this chapter?

Q: What do you think of the baby names?

Q: What do you think Jasam are having boys or girls?

AN: I know that in Sam's Fantasy world they had a daughter named Emily; however I didn't want the twins named after someone dead as a first name. However I wanted to honor Emily and Alan both in their name choices.
