Sam remains on the couch with her eyes closed waiting for Jason. Patience was not her strong suit though she always appeared so calm in any situation. She was emotionally and physically tired. The exhaustion set into her bones it was difficult to stay awake. If she tried to fight the sleep she would be sorry because a sleepy Sam was horrible at emotional talk. She needed her focus to talk to Jason about everything that seem to hit her all at once. She rolls her shoulders in a backward motion a few times then forward once to release the tension in her body the effect was minimal. The only way she could rid herself of the nervous energy was to recall Jason's last words "Sam, I love you," as he departed wanting to promise he'd be back soon. She didn't want to make him feel guilty she had enough for both of them. Sam drifted off to sleep with a sigh thinking of Jason's anguish at leaving her. He really did love her she knew that. It was the reason she never wanted to lose his love or break his heart.

[Flashback] Metro Court 1.13.12 1447 EST
Sam goes into premature labor after Jason walks out on her from the balcony. They were spiraling out of control. Jason regretted immediately what he had said to his pregnant wife and turned back from the elevators to head back to Sam. He was torn to find Sam gone from the balcony after tearing into her instead of holding her the way he wanted. He felt like her lies were suffocating them but honesty he had to admit Sam was scared and only trying to protect him. He failed from protecting her from that bastard Franco. He shook his head, out of thoughts when he heard a soft barely audible moan but he knew it was Sam even before he spotted her clenching at her abdomen in pain. "No! This couldn't be happening again." He had blamed Alexis for Baby Lila's death but this time it would be his fault. Jason couldn't handle that. He scooped up Sam kissing her forehead begging her to stay awake. "It hurts," Sam whispers. "I'm sorry," Jason says feeling a double pun but knowing Sam she had already forgiving him. This time he wouldn't let her forgive him so easily. He lived by a code of accountability, honor, and truth he later told Sam he was a total hypocrite because he was scared too. He was scared of losing her.

Jason had understood her reasons, her thoughts still active even while asleep.

In Hawaii, for their second honeymoon, after renewing their vows was a rekindling of sorts for their marriage. Happiness illuminated their eyes. They also finally had an uninterrupted lover's escape. The happy couple was embracing the possibility of conceiving a child. Sam had undergone a procedure to help reverse the trauma cause by a gunshot to her pelvis and reproductive organs. In May 2006, Manny shot Sam in the back while Jason held her in his arms. Less than two years earlier, the couple was grief stricken with the loss of their stillborn baby Lila. Sam had lived with the possibility of never having a child. When Jason also loses his four year old son Jake Martin Spencer in a tragic accident; Sam discussed the procedure with Jason. Dr. Kelly Lee, her ob-gyn, had recommended the procedure to Sam stating she believed it would help Sam conceive and possibly carry to term.

Franco watched patiently as the happy couple lulled themselves into a sense of false security. He listened in on their intimate conversations. They became his victims. Franco was the epitome of evil and his pleasure was mind games. He lured Jason and Sam into a trap leaving them prey to worst psychological assault. He led them to believe he had raped Sam. Both were drugged. Jason awaking in a concrete 4x4 locked room with a closed circuit camera revealing Franco walking carefree towards Jason's unsuspected wife taking a shower. Jason felt dejected in that moment knowing and thinking the worst. His psychotic nemesis implied purposefully carrying a naked unconscious Sam to bed then covering the camera with his shirt. That night would forever be imprinted in their minds differently.

Some three in half months later, Sam is finally pregnant, but their joy and pleasure was overshadowed by the curse of Franco's mind games. They had the family they hoped and dreamed about this moment since the death of their first born, Jason had finally killed Franco with his lasts words being- you'll never know!
Jason never regretted killing anyone. It was the last resort and it was always final, leaving no stone unturned and lastly never having a second thought about his enemies. That very night Jason believed he had avenged his wife being violated and restored their peace of mind or so he thought. He reassures his wife, "it's over," with finality and understanding.

Sam says, "I'm pregnant."

The pregnancy should have made them blissful but it was causing both Jason and Sam to become unhinged. A paternity test positively confirmed Jason was the father sharing genetic markers with the embryo at the time. Yet it wasn't over. Jason had had yet another brain surgery exacerbated by Franco psychological hold on Jason. He was spacing out, missing blocks of time and having fits of rage. At the time only Sam was aware of Jason's triggers because they were still reeling from the traumatic events. Barely out of surgery, Sam had to find a way to break the news of Robin's death to her husband. Of course, she tried to protect him that's what they always did for each other. Before, she was able to tell him Carly had jumped the gun. This caused the couple more tension though later Robin reemerges without her memories.

Shortly, thereafter was the temptation to open up Pandora's Box -Franco's nightmare unleashed from his sulfa grave. Franco left a home video tape formatted onto DVD as if a clue or more mind games. If Jason had not killed him himself he would not believe he was dead. This time it was Sam who became obsessed with finding out what it meant. Her search leads her to Heather Webber, Jason's biological mother's cousin, committed to Ferncliff Psychiatric facility. Heather had revealed to Sam that Franco and Jason were twins causing her to doubt the paternity test again. How much could they take? On the spectrum for happiness Jason and Sam always seemed to fall short even when it seemed they were getting exactly what they wanted- Franco out of their lives; still married; getting pregnant and carrying to term -all checked. Now, she had to tell her husband that her rapist was also his twin and possibly the father of her child. They would get through it together.

Sam tells Jason everything. She lays it out for them to deal with the truth together. When Jason discovers the truth about Franco it caused him to also doubt the original paternity test. Dr. Lee had scheduled another test though she reassured Jason and Sam twins may share genetic markers but like a finger-print, DNA was unique to every human being; twins were not an exception. Though they were hopeful Jason was indeed the father, they wanted to rid any doubt. Jason wondered about being a father to his child and watching it grow in Sam's belly and finally holding and raising his child with Sam. He didn't want their relationship to ever feel tainted.

It wasn't that simple. Heather's bombshell of truth was true but Heather also had a sinister side. She tampered with the second paternity test causing Sam to detach from the pregnancy. Unaware that he was pulling away from his own child Jason derailed into a stranger during the pregnancy. The more they tried to put into words what the other was feeling the more frustrated they became. Sam showed patience as usual but Jason's thoughts and actions were so disconnected that he unintentionally had pushed Sam away. Meanwhile, John McBain actively sought out getting incriminating evidence against Sonny Corinthos and unknowingly befriended the Mob Enforcer's wife. Jason wasn't having it. He trusted Sam; he abhorred his wife being friends with a cop. It was Jason's idea to ask John to use his FBI connections to obtain Franco's DNA. All the same he hated relying on someone else to give his wife comfort. She was dealing with everything while Jason avoided dealing at all. They were both spiraling though Jason gave Sam credit for remaining patient with his reluctance to talk about their feelings.

Adding insult to injury Heather craftily pushed their buttons at every given chance. Heather continued to sabotage the couple's emotionally stability by taunting them about the innermost fears that of their child being a mini- Franco. Sam confided in Jason what all this was doing to them she begged him to breakdown the walls. He did listen and said he was being supportive but she was still scared he wasn't really dealing with the enigma of Franco being his twin. They started from ground zero all over again. Jason had already fallen in love with their child no matter who its father was. He refused to resent the child which was a part of Sam. His wife felt guilty for even thinking she could not love her child unconditionally; instead she let Heather get under her skin because she was trying to protect her husband. Jason reassured her she was showing unconditional love for the baby and it was okay to feel a measure of uncertainty because he felt it too. She knew the over- active baby was healthy and that she would protect him or her no matter what. However, she wondered when she held the baby for the first time if the baby's eyes would reflect her love for the child she waited a lifetime to love or hate for her rapist. She hoped to know before the baby was born to prepare herself. She would never blame an innocent child for being conceived under such circumstances but she also wanted her child to feel loved.

Towards the end of the second trimester Dr. Lee shared shocking news, "Sam you are carrying twins." Something about the paternity test never sat well with Dr. Lee she had recommended another paternity test but Jason and Sam refused. Now Dr. Lee had to wonder though rare if it was possible one of the twins was positive for Jason and the other Franco. Jason and Sam had decided they wanted the gender to be a surprise but they were surprised that they were having twins. Their happiness was tainted, yet again, by the realization that Franco had fathered not one but two children to his wife. Then Dr. Lee explained that one child could still be for Jason though rare it could be. Jason and Sam were astonish to hear the possibility and feared if one belonged to Jason the other would be treated differently.

Finally, after the birth of their twins, Dr. Lee presented them with the idea again something about the second paternity test just felt unsettling. This time she sent he the test indicating only an eight-digit pin number of Jason's choosing. She also indicated a random access code usually assigned in double blind studies. Dr. Lee sent out the tubes to two independent labs. Just before the twins were due for discharge along with their mom, Dr. Lee brings the stat results to the Morgan family.

After reading the results Dr. Lee left the room mirroring their tears. Sam was her patient and friend.

Their double happiness was out of love and belonged to them in every way. Jason was the biological father of both their children.
"Jason, they were always ours," Sam cries.
"Always," Jason heart flutters in joy with eyes reflecting his wife's.
"You and me," Sam whispers

February 6, 2012, 1437 EST

In their black SUV, Jason and Sam try to wait patiently as the PCPD defers all efforts beyond their roadblocks. The perimeter outside of GH was ridiculously set up to capture Heather Webber. Kate Howard had become a resident at Ferncliff and found the riddles written by a Heather Webber. She thought nothing of it until the last entry indicated a childish drawing of Jason and Sam faces lined out but Heather was holding a baby with outstretched arms over a cliff raised towards the heavens. The eerie description caused Kate to warn Jason. He had help her when Connie took over, her disassociate personality, so she wanted to repay his kindness. Before Jason was able to get Spinelli to decode the riddles and drawings to find the location of the twins Ferncliff's administration informed PCPD.

Spinelli had figured it out partially the babies were part of a ritual, though Jason did not disclose Franco's being his twins, the Jackal of cyberspace was keen at piecing puzzles together. He assured his best friends and mentors, The Blonde Cryptic Machiavellian, Heather, would not intentionally harm their double happiness- The Dizygotic Twins. Their babies were kidnapped three weeks ago and the only thing they had to go by was some insane riddle. They hoped Spinelli was right.

"Double moons illuminates sundown… affords a view over all in motion…but enclosed alabaster's custodial reigns on day and night awaits for a quarters time return," Sam repeats the riddle with deliberate pauses hoping Spinelli's explanation made sense. It made absolutely no sense. Heather was deranged and Spinelli spoke and thought on a different plane from most. No offense to her friend; Spin spent sleepless nights with the exasperated parents. Sam knew Spinelli and Lucky came to similar conclusions that the babies would return from where they were taken.

Nearly an hour and a half later, Sam gets antsy watching as time passes and the PCPD move in slow motion. "Today the sunsets at 1720," Sam states, knowing Jason knew there wasn't much time. Jason places his hand on the door handle ready to exit the vehicle. "Stay here," he instructs.

"The hell I am... We are going to get our babies from that lunatic together. You got to kill Franco for me but I refuse to sit back and wait to reunite with our children! Jason you would never agree to stay put so do you really think it's fair to ask me to?" Sam objects.

"I know its not fair Sam but I don't want to worry about you and the twins too," Jason explains.

"Same here, Jason you want me to worry about my entire family. I am their mother and we should bring them home together. It's been a freaking nightmare replaying their faces, their tiny hands imprinted in my mind, but my heart remembers the moments we were bonding together- as family. It was the way we always wanted it. DJ pretending he doesn't care before he gives his attention, Emilia curious eyes looking at me as if she can pierce my thoughts. Then I wonder if they will be emotionally scarred or if we will ever see them again. I mean Heather sold her own son for money and tried to sale you. I can't even imagine not saving their feedings every time I have to pump. They need to know we brought them back home together. I know with every fiber of my being you will protect them and bring them home but what if Heather does something foolish. Who will protect the twins while you deal with her? We are their parents and we are the only ones who won't forget they are most important... their safety is first," she pleads passionately.

Jason simply pulls her into a hug as he kisses her crown. "Let me talk to Mac and Dante. We will bring them home Sam I trust that," her husband held her shoulder squared away from him so she could see his eyes.

"I trust you too," she replies.

He walks towards Mac, Dante, Lucky, and Cruz planning on pleading they stand down as he and Sam enter Gh alone for a clean trade. Heather wants to go back to Ferncliff. He knew she deserves an imminent death but Sam was right their babies' safety came first. He also knew if PCPD got a wind of Heather's demands there was no way around their roadblocks, protocol, and endless standoff. His children were his top priority not procedure.

"Jason you can't be here!" Mac warns.
"Really I see it differently my children are on a rooftop with a psychotic bitch defenseless to her whim. You know there is no way I would keep you from Maxie. Sam is there mother you want to try telling her for the thirtieth time that she can't be a part of this when she has been crackling cases for your unworthy department. Don't tell us we can't be here because I'm not taking any chances with my family, his eye noting Lucky's discomfort over Jake's untimely death at the age of four. Jason would never use his grief against him. All of you are fathers here! You either stand down to draw her out or let Sam and I get our children safely. By the way, when this is over Diane and Alexis will follow suit against the department for negligence in obtaining a fugitive with two Amber Alerts. She hadn't even left Port Charles. It was Kate that uncovered her cryptic messages and Spinelli that deciphered its meaning. That was not your department!

"Jason you break every rule in book. Why would this be any different?" Mac sighs. "Morgan don't make me regret this. You, Dante and Lucky have ten minutes before we follow," Mac instructs.

Jason walked off shouting, "come on Sam."

A rookie cop drew his gun to stop the grieving parents but yields when Jason and Sam brush right pass him.

"Stand down," Mac and Lucky shout in unison as the officer appears bewildered.

Jason took the stairs three to four steps at a time in long strides. As he reached the third floor he indicated to Sam to take the elevator he promised to wait for her. She didn't want a stitch to pop but she would take the pain if it meant saving their children and knowing that they were safe.

Sam hated hospitals, its uniform off white long hallways, scent of the musty enclosure cloaked by lemon- bleachy chemicals making anyone feel sicker, she also hated the logistics of a hospital's security system, set-up more for an offensive tactic rather than prevention. The very protocols in place seem to avert the good stand citizen but easily broken by anyone willing to try. Sam was so emotionally tired she had to numb her mind with the politics that were keeping them from their children to implement their plan she had to think with her mind not her heart. Sam noticed the blonde bitch scanning for her escape from the Personnel Only double doors. Sam moved back against the wall then quickly entered the elevator to avoid Heather noticing her.

Sam hit the button with force wanting to head towards the viper and snap her neck. "In due time, that's a promise," Sam grits her teeth hoping Jason knew the twins were safe though she made him promise to wait for her. Lucky jumped onto the elevator as the doors closed startling Sam. "Lucky, for goodness stake, Heather went through the personnel doors."

"I know. Dante followed her we don't want a scene inside the hospital," Lucky states.

"Come on," Sam presses the button to make it move faster. It was the most agonizing twenty seconds of her life. Bing the elevator door opened. The fourteenth floor was too quiet vacant due to remodeling. Sam drew her gun stealthily pacing to the exit door leading to the roof. She fireman up the steps reaching Jason's eyes questioning what took you so long.
She evens her breathing, "Heather was on the third floor, she was heading towards the personnel entrance Dante is following her. I think she left the babies here."

Lucky nods at Jason to proceed to the roof.

Jason's Stonecold appearance remained flat and hard to read but Sam was he's personal eye reader. She saw the fear in his eyes. We will make sure they are safe Jase, her eyes reassures him. Jason nears the rooftops door he nods at Sam. She proceeds with her 9mm drawn downwards as she swiftly opens the door Jason scans the roof with his dual companions Beretta 92 drawn in one hand while sporting a left hand Walther P5C 9mm he covers Sam. Both drop their weapons as they approach the single stroller with no sign of Heather's trickery in sight.

2.06.12 17:20 Gh Rooftop. at sunset

[Heather's Flashback]

Heather brought the twins back in a single stroller. They remained asleep longer whenever she had placed them together. She hoped Jason and Sam received her message to meet at Gh's rooftop. She knew they were clever or at least had the resources to figure it out. She had planned everything for months but she soon realized three weeks with newborn twins was cutting into her beauty routine. Heather also knew are demise was soon to come. Jason Morgan was her cousin but being blood would not save her. Yet, she had other plans; the kidnapping was a temporary thing anyway. She was surprise to see the Morgan's cooperating with the authorities. She would keep herself alive in Ferncliff.

[Flashback Ends]

Jason and Sam found both babies alone snugly holding each other. Their skin was warm to touch, indicating Heather wasn't that far away. She had a nice surprise waiting for her to leave the hospital. Jason quickly placed his guns back in his lower back. He watch as Sam donned the twins with kisses and tears. As the winds began to pick up the twenty-four days old newborns winced and cried. Jason took his daughter first holding her as Sam held their son they made their way down to the tenth floor to have the babies checked out. As they passed, Lucky he had reassured them all the floors were cleared and Heather was in custody.

Drs Trell Jackson and Maggie Wurth had given the couple the go ahead. The twins were discharged after testing for any signs of neglect or abuse. Once dehydration was ruled out and their growth chart remained within normal limits. Dr. Jackson explained after the newborns birth that DJ's bilirubin was slightly elevated, the cause of his yellow tinged skin, and once again he cleared him for discharge.

The new parents hadn't left the babies' side. Maggie couldn't blame them recalling the tortured look in their eyes when the twins were kidnapped three weeks prior. She had blamed herself and asked Dr. Trell to reassure the Morgan parents when she thought they had loss faith in her as a Pediatrician. Maggie let the family settle into a room as she brought the perfectly well-mannered babies and parents up to speed to reintroduce lactating.

Sam thanked Maggie for her cues and tips. She thought if Heather had bottle-fed them that the babies wouldn't want to breastfeed again. Emilia took to it like she knew she was missing something she had craved. When DJ showed no interest giving her an apathetic look she nearly burst into tears. Jason rubbed her back and DJ's belly. Maggie simply instructed "give him time. He'll come around," then gave the reunited family their privacy. They hadn't accused her of being off her game or made her accountable when their precious babies were stolen from the hospital on her watch; she knew Heather Webber was up to something. The Morgan's had simply shown her their appreciation.

DJ stirs when he can't grab the object that keeps swaying from his grasp. "Hey buddy looks like you like your Mama's necklace huh?" Jason talks to his son while rocking his daughter.
"Okay baby you want to touch my star then I say show Mommy you miss me feeding you...huh Luv... Deal?" Sam smiles at Jason mischievously knowing he wouldn't approve of her methods.
"Well buddy I'm sorry that Mommy is blackmailing you but remember this breastfeeding will not last forever. It belongs to me and I don't plan on sharing with you and your sister for too long," Jason warns.

"Jason!" his wife blushed.

"Don't listen to him buddy you can have it for as long as you want. As Sam let her baby boy grab the star necklace, she spoke to him softly, "please don't break it. Daddy won't replace another one," she positioned he's head just so and he latch onto his meal in a frenzy. "Whoa, slow down," Sam said while she poked at his outer jaw with her index finger. DJ ignored her; his eyes were still glued to the shinning metal that he could finally feel. Then he relaxed his loud swallowing efforts into soft rumbling sound as he fell asleep he continues sucking tightly.

"You asked for it! You should never say for as long as you want. I plan to reclaim it but for now I love watching you with them," Jason's smile reached his eyes.

"Thanks," she lets a tear of joy rolling down her cheeks. She looked down at her son when he finally released his tenacious hold but had decided to keep him close when he didn't let go of her star necklace. "Jason," she began to say as she moves over to get ready to go home. Jason was at her beside before she could get up. He surprised her when he lay in the bed and pulled her gently back down at his side. Their baby girl was an angel resting peacefully on his chest as their son was before they switched for their feedings. Sam didn't mind this, not at all. She held her son against her bosoms and felt Jason's arms wrap around her and their family's love.

"Jason we can't avoid talking about it but I like this," she voiced.

"I know," he placed a soft kiss to her forehead and tucked a lock of his daughter's hair behind her ear. "She's so beautiful so much like you," Jason whispers proudly.

"You don't look so bad yourself handsome and our boy here is a spitting image of you. You can't even tell he belongs to me too," Sam pouts.

"I don't think that's going to be a problem," Jason reassures seeing their boy still holding onto the star and sucking on her skin before she assist him to her nipple.

"Oh my gosh, please not again. Baby boy don't hurt Mommy please," She tried to relax so he would relax too. "This breastfeeding thing has to get better soon because you are killing this experience. What happened while you were away? Did you grow teeth, Sam asked sadly to their unspoken pain.

When Daniel-Justus finally slowed down and appeared satisfied, Sam sighed. Jason placed Emilia against Sam, "she will make you feel better," he promised. The babies held onto each other and Jason took in his family.

An hour later, Epiphany Johnson walks in on the sleeping family. She smiled ready to turn without disturbing them but Jason raised his head.

"We will leave soon," he smiles.

"No worries, you know I don't tolerate rumors but this will make history when I have to explain why your family was discharged over an hour ago but you two chose to stay. My lips are sealed only if you promise to stay out of the hospital and be there for these precious little ones. By the way, I'm Auntie Epiphany." She blew kisses at the babies knowing she would visit them soon. The no nonsense Charge Nurse was sincerely happy for the couple.

"Deal," Sam says before Jason notices she had awakened. Jason looked down at Sam his accident-kidnapping-always falling or tripping-stabbed-gun-shot- prone, PI, married to the mob wife had promised to stay out of the hospital. He shook his head in admiration when he could see she believed she could keep such a promise.

"You too Mr. Morgan," Epiphany concludes as she leaves the room.
