Life could not possibly get any worse. There was absolutely no way that life could be any worse than it was at this precise moment. If there is then…
Elizabeth sighed her frustration at the desk of the nurses' station. Helena Cassadine has struck again. That woman should be shot. Someone needs to get rid of her once and for all – and Elizabeth thought that she would be the perfect candidate for the job. Breathing another sigh of frustration, she looked over the patient files in front of her and was trying to concentrate on her job. She was just about to enter information into the hospital mainframe when she looked up and saw that Sam was walking off the elevator. She was the last person that Elizabeth had wished to see. She did not harbor any ill feelings but it was hard seeing her after what she had found out the night before. She knew that Sam was going to marry Jason and that she had waited a long time for this. But Elizabeth felt like Jason was short changing himself. But honestly she knew the reason why she was not happy for the other woman was because she wanted to be the one walking down the aisle with him. Despite all the things that she had done in her life she had always wanted Jason to be with her. She felt that she was the one that he deserved and that she was the only one that could make him happy. But it seems that she was the only one that felt that way. She knew Jason long enough that he did not ask a woman to marry him lightly. Yes, it is true that he had married women to protect them but Sam did not need his protection. She fit right into his dangerous lifestyle and actually was able to help him with it. Elizabeth was always the one that did not fit in. She could not squelch her fear in order for her and Jason to make any kind of head way. So now she had to watch the love of her life marry another woman. She knew that nothing would change the way he felt – if he loved Sam then that was all there was to it. Even Helena could not mess that up.
"Elizabeth!"
Jumping out of her stupor she realized that she must have been zoned out for a while. Looking up she Sam staring at her with a strange look on her face.
"I am so sorry Sam. I got so much going on right now and my brain is just overloaded. What can I help you with today?" Elizabeth asked politely.
"I am here to see Dr. Lee. I have a pregnancy test scheduled in a couple minutes and I wanted her to know that I am here." Sam replied, a little snidely.
Even though she was surprised by the fact that Sam was here for a pregnancy test, she hid it well if the look of annoyance on Sam's face was any indication. She smiled at her and typed in the information into the computer system and checked Sam in for her appointment.
"Yes, I see that scheduled appointment here and that you are actually her last patient. So she is waiting for you as we speak. I can page here for you or I am sure you where her office is…?" She let her voice trail off as she looked up at the brunette's face. The look there seemed to reflect surprise that Liz was not questioning her about the fact that she might be carrying Jason's baby.
"No I know my way… thanks." Sam said as she walked away, with an amused Elizabeth behind her. Seems like Sam could not help herself when it came to Liz. She got the guy and she still saw the need to pick a fight sometimes. But Elizabeth could not blame her. When it comes to Jason there was pretty much nothing that she would do if she could have him back in her life. But she did not think it was possible at this moment. If Sam was going to have his baby then there was nothing that she could do. Jason would just have to never know that they have two – instead of one child together. He was happy now and she was tired of always tearing someone's life apart with the truth. When she got home she was going to get rid of that DVD as soon as possible. The less people knew the better. She could only hope that Helena would stay out of this so that Jason would have the chance to be happy even if it was not with her.

Jason had just walked into his home after a long day. Sonny was still on the war path and there was nothing that he could do about it. Sonny wanted the blood of the one that sunk his shipment to the bottom of the ocean and he wanted it yesterday. It was time like these that he hated his job. Sometimes he wondered if he missed his calling as a shrink.
"Jason? Is that you?" Sam called down the stairs. "Are you ok? You look tired. Bad day at work?"
"Nothing that I could not handle. How was yours?" I thought you were supposed to be out of town for the rest of the week doing wedding plans?"
"Yea, I just got held up a little today and me and Maxie are gonna catch the red eye out of here, to Seattle to meet with the caterers and all that good stuff."
"Sounds good to me. Are you leaving now? I could carry your bags down to the car if you want me too." Jason said halfheartedly.
"No that's fine. I only have a small one and I can do that myself. I just wanted to see ypu before I left. I love you so much. Annnnnd I am sssssoooooo happy that you have chosen to spend the rest of your life with me."
Jason felt the corner of his mouth kick up. He did love her, she was everything that he wanted – well may not everything but she was good enough for him and that was what mattered the most. Walking over to where she stood, he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers lightly. He knew that when she got like this she needed reassuring about where his heart was. He could never give her all of him but he would always care for her.
"And I love you too. More than you would ever know. I cannot wait for you to be my wife. We have been through so much to get to this point and I want us to stay this way forever. In less than a month you and I will be man and wife and we are gonna be the happiest couple on the block… or something like that."
Laughing out loud, Sam wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her head on his chest.
"Jason Morgan, I do believe that you have gone all corny on me. But I don't mind..."
Kissing him lightly on the lips she pulled back and gave him a smile and told him that she would see him in a few days. After the door closed behind her, he looked around him and realized that his heart was not in with her anymore but the one that he wanted was too far away for him now and there was no way that they could make it work. He missed his kids. Even though Jake was his only biological child, Cameron felt like his too. Shaking his head he realized that he had to let that go. Sam was his life now and they were going to be happy together. Maybe, just maybe, his heart will catch up to what his mind is telling him.
