Thank you all for your reviews. I want to know what you think! Here is another update. As always, it didn't turn out exactly how I wanted it to. Things are starting to get crazy for me, but I would like to update this story. Please keep reviewing and letting me know what you think.

As they were driving, Sam looked at Jason, "Jase, what's going on? I don't understand how a hospital that size has phones out of order."

"Calm down, I'm sure we'll find out what's going on," he said as he tried to rationalize with Sam, but knowing that he was terrified as hell for their baby too.

Sam sighed in frustration unsure of what to do next. Jason reached over and took her hand in his. It was a simple gesture, but felt so comforting to Sam.

"Mommy, what's wrong?" Danni asked in a concerned voice from the back seat. Sam hated how her little girl could sense when something was wrong. She decided in that moment to be honest.

"Well sweetie, we were calling to check on your baby sister, but the hospital isn't answering," she said simply.

"And you're scared for Bree. Mommy don't be scared," Danni said.

"I'm just worried because I don't know what's going on Danni. Thanks baby," Sam said as Jason reached over the gearshift and squeezed her hand. Danni always amazed them with her resilience and intuition about situations.

"We're going to try and call Patrick just as soon as we get to our house," Jason explained as he tried to be calm for Sam and their daughter.

"I have Patrick's number saved in my phone. I'll try right now," Sam said as she began searching through her contacts.

Jason continued to drive, but his foot seemed to be stepping just a bit harder on the accelerator. He wanted to get Danni and Sam home so that he could check out whatever was happening in Baltimore. He needed to know that their baby was safe. Jason couldn't have any bad news or threats hanging over the party that was supposed to be about Danni.

"I can't find Patrick. Jase, I thought for sure we put his number in here," Sam said.

"Here, let me check," he said grabbing for Sam's phone.

"No, you're driving. The last thing we need is an accident," Sam reasoned with her husband as she moved the phone out of his reach and continued searching. "Here it is, I found it," she said as her hands trembled. She feared the worst and could barely hit the button to dial.

"Sam, we're almost home, let me," Jason said as he took his hand off the wheel to take her phone from her hands, never letting go of her other hand that he clasped.

"Jason, we're overreacting. I'm sure it's nothing," Sam said as she tried to fight back tears. She knew that Danni was in the back seat and that this was supposed to be a happy day for her.

"We're going to find out, but until then we need to be calm," he said as he nodded his head toward the back seat. Sam knew that they were both trying to think of Danni and not let anything ruin her day.

When Jason parked the SUV in the driveway, he turned to face his wife. He looked into her chocolatey eyes and somewhere deep inside found the strength to remain calm. "Sam, I want you to take Danni inside and get her ready for the party. I'm going to try Patrick and if that doesn't work, we'll do some digging on our own. I promise we'll figure this out. I love you," he said as he kissed her forehead and removed his hand from hers.

"Thanks Jase. I love you too," she said as she unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the SUV as Jason had asked.

"All right, Danni, let's get ready for your party," she said as she unbuckled the four year old and lifted her out of the SUV. She carried Danni's graduation cap and gown under her arms and held onto Danni for dear life as she walked into the house.

"Mommy, why is Daddy staying in the car?" the four year old asked.

"He's going to try and call to check on Bree," Sam explained.

"Ok," Danni said.

Jason didn't want to admit it, but he was getting worried about Bree and whatever was happening at the hospital. He wasn't sure how he would react to bad news, so he wanted to make sure Danni wasn't around. He also knew that Sam couldn't take it, and he wanted to spare her from anything that may be wrong. He loved that woman and he loved their girls. If anyone had done something to harm even a single hair on their baby's head, he was going to make them pay.

Jason sat alone in his SUV and dialed Patrick's cell phone number. He anxiously waited as he heard it ring. He thought that was a good sign. He listened intently as he heard it ring once, twice, three times. Finally Patrick answered.

"Hello,"

"Patrick, it's Jason,"

"Hey man, how's it going?"

"What is going on down there?" Jason demanded.

"I'm not sure. Robin was with Bree and I had Emma. She was supposed to meet me, but she didn't. Emma and I walked from the condo toward the hospital, but there are road blocks. The police are saying the hospital is on lockdown,"

"What the hell?" Jason asked.

"Jason, calm down. Apparently there is a gunman on the 8th floor. The rest of the hospital is locked down. Robin is with Bree on the 5th floor. I'm not sure which section of the 8th floor, but the lock down is for the entire hospital, just to be on the safe side," Patrick rationalized.

"Do you know Robin is still with her? What if that maniac leaves the 8th floor?" Jason asked in a concerned voice.

"Look Jason, I'm just finding out about the situation myself. If I thought there was anything to worry about; then I would have called you and Sam immediately," Patrick said trying to ease Jason's mind.

"Call me the second you hear anything!" Jason instructed.

"I'm working on it. Jason, stay calm and enjoy your time with Danni," Patrick pleaded but Jason was too upset and confused to notice. He didn't know what he could do to make sure Bree was safe. He didn't want Danni's day to be ruined and with the variety of guests he was expecting, he didn't want them or Sam to be worried about Bree.

Jason hung up the phone and placed it in his pocket. He started to walk into the house to figure out what to say to Sam when his phone rang.

"Morgan," he answered not bothering to check the caller ID.

"Jason- I know I'm not supposed to be calling you, but I don't want you to worry," it was Robin.

"Robin, what's going on?" Jason asked.

"I'm locked in the NICU with Bree. The hospital is on lock down because of a situation, but the nurses here are conducting business as usual, there is no threat in the NICU," Robin explained.

"Are you sure?" Jason asked.

"Jason this hospital is the size of Texas. The lock down is a precautionary measure. The media is here and I called because I didn't want you to worry. I don't know what's happening, but I'm not leaving your little girl,"

"Thank you Robin. Please keep me updated," he asked before the line was disconnected. Jason was thankful that Robin had called to assure him everything would be all right. He felt better, but was still a bit nervous. As he walked toward the house, he thought very carefully about what he would tell Sam. He had to be honest, but he didn't want her to worry. He checked security and found that everything was in order for the party.

When he walked inside, he found Sam helping Danni with her shoes on the steps. Sam had changed her into more comfortable clothes and Danni was now wearing sandals but couldn't buckle them by herself. Sam knew that her daughter was a risk taker and there was no way her dress would remain clean, so the new clothes were necessary.

"Daddy," the little girl said.

"Are you ready for your party?" he asked.

"Yes!" she said with enthusiasm.

"Good. Why don't you head outside with Max and Milo and wait for your friends. Mommy and I are going to go upstairs and change our clothes," he said.

"Ok Daddy," she said.

"Stay where Max and Milo can see you," Sam said as she walked over to her patio doors and asked Max and Milo to keep an eye on Danni and where the caterers should set up. After she closed the doors, she looked at Jason, "Something's going on. You look worried. What did you find out?" she asked.

"Let's go upstairs," he suggested.

"Jason just tell me what the hell is going on," she demanded.

"I will, let's just go upstairs, where we can be alone." He put his arm around her waist and carefully led her up to their bedroom and closed the door behind them. Sam was worried.

"Jason, just tell me what's going on down there, what's wrong with our baby?" she asked.

Jason was still holding Sam's hand. He moved over to the chair in their bedroom and sat down as he pulled her into his lap. He tucked her hair behind her ear and looked into her eyes. "Sam, I talked to Patrick and then Robin called. I know Bree is fine and I think she's going to stay that way," he began.

"Jason, what does that mean? What the hell is going on down there?" Sam said as she began to allow the tears to flow freely. She felt safe in Jason's arms and she respected the fact that Jason knew her and knew they needed to be alone for whatever he was about to tell her.

"I called Patrick first. He answered. Robin was with Bree and he and Emma were headed to meet them, but they found out the hospital was locked down," Jason explained as he stroked Sam's tear-stained cheek with his thumb.

"I don't get it. Why the hospital where OUR daughter is?" Sam asked.

"Patrick only knew that there was a gunman on the 8th floor," Jason continued.

"W-w-w-wait a minute, Jason. A gunman?" Sam asked standing up and walking over to look out the window at the scene in their backyard as she thought about how happy this day was supposed to be for Danni and now how worried she was for Bree. Sam couldn't take it anymore.

Jason gave Sam some space to process what was happening and then walked up behind her at the window. "Johns Hopkins is a huge hospital. The gunman isn't anywhere near the NICU. The NICU has been locked down and Robin is in the room with Bree. I really think everything will be ok," he explained as he wrapped his arms around his wife.

Sam pulled out of Jason's embrace and looked into his blue eyes. He was trying to be understanding for Sam's sake, but he was pissed as hell about the situation. Then she finally spoke, "You THINK everything is ok. Jason I know it's a damn big hospital. I've spent two pregnancies there. I carried that baby girl as long as I possibly could and stayed in bed for months to keep her safe. I missed being with you and with Danni because our daughter's life meant that much. And now you're telling me that some random gunman could take her away, but you "THINK" it's going to be ok " she screamed as the tears continued to fall.

Jason didn't say anything at first, he just pulled her into a hug and held her tight against his chest as he stroked her back to soothe her. He knew that she was frustrated and even though he was on the receiving end of Sam's rage; he knew she was speaking out of frustration. "I know how you feel. I don't want anything to happen to our baby either," he said as he placed a gentle kiss in her hair on top of her forehead.

"Jason, I know what it's like to lose a baby. I've been there and that pain is something I've never forgotten. We CAN'T lose Bree, not after all she's been through," Sam said through the tears.

"As Jason held Sam, he looked out the window at the tents, the moon bounce, and all the decorations for the party and he thought about their other little girl. He pulled out of the hug and turned Sam around so that she was facing the window and looking out at the party too. "I remember that pain. I wasn't Lila's father, but I wanted to be and when we lost her, it was horrible. We're not going to lose Bree. Sam, I know this is hard. But we're here and Robin is with Bree. We just have to wait and see and in the meantime, we have a four year old who needs us to be strong," he said standing behind her as they looked out at Danni who was leading Max all over the patio and the backyard. A few of the guests had arrived. Maxie and Spinelli were there already and Alexis, Kristina, and Molly were also there. The truth was nobody knew what was happening in Baltimore and Jason and Sam wanted the focus to be on Danni.

"You're right. We owe it to her to trust that Bree is in good hands," Sam said, "Let's not say anything to Danni about Bree. I don't want her to worry."

"Sam, if Robin wasn't in the room with Bree or the gunman was closer, I'd be on the next plane to Baltimore," he explained.

"I know you would. We'll just wait for Robin to call and try and make it through the party," Sam suggested.

"If we don't want Danni to know, then we shouldn't tell anyone else. I'm going to make a few calls. There are some guys I can put on watch to let us know how things are at the hospital."

"That'd make me feel better," Sam said as she wiped her tear-stained cheeks.

"Let me make those calls, you get ready," he said.

X X X X X X X X X X X

Meanwhile, Danni stayed outside with Max. She checked everything out. "Woah! a Moon Bounce," she told him.

"Maybe Milo will bounce with you," Max said looking to his brother.

"Silly, it's just for the kids," Danni announced.

"Where's my little fashion diva?" Maxie asked as she and Spinelli entered the backyard.

"Over here," Danni called upon seeing Maxie and Spinelli.

"Maximista did a fabulous job with the decorations," Spinelli told her.

"Why thank you," she said as she kissed him on the cheek and went over to join Danni.

"Hey Aunt Maxie," she said as Maxie began looking around.

"I love your sandals Danni. Where's your Mommy and Daddy?"

"Daddy took Mommy upstairs," Danni said simply.

"Oh really, I bet I know what's going on up there," said Kristina as she joined the tail end of the conversation.

"Aunt Krissy, they're changing their clothes," she said.

Maxie and Kristina laughed. They loved the innocence and honesty Danni had. They both knew Jason and Sam couldn't keep their hands off each other and assumed there was more going on.

"Hey sweetheart! Congratulations on your graduation and Happy Birthday again," Alexis said as she walked up to join the group.

"Thanks Nanna," Danni said as Alexis bent down to give her a kiss.

"We loved your songs and the dance from graduation," Molly added.

"Thanks Aunt Mols," she said.

"Look it's Dr. Monica and Edward," Danni said as she saw Monica and Edward arrive.

The little girl walked over to say hi just as Jason and Sam came outside.

"Hi Edward, hi Monica," Sam said, "We're so glad you could make it."

"Well we love seeing this little girl. She's got a bright future ahead of her," Edward said.

"Thanks to Maxie for the invite," Monica added.

"Well things have been a little crazy for us and Maxie was helping us out," Sam explained not sure whether Monica was thankful or implying that the invite had come from Maxie rather than her or Jason.

"Oh dear, we understand. How is the newest addition to the family?" Edward asked.

Jason looked at Sam and could see that she was trying to be strong in spite of the fear each of them felt.

"She's good. She's growing more and more each day," he said.

"We brought some pictures. We'll bring them out later," Sam added.

"Mommy, Josslyn's here!" Danni exclaimed as she left the adult conversation to meet her friend.

"Sorry about that, she's going to be really excited and a little overwhelmed to see so many people in one place," Sam explained.

"We love seeing Danni and even if she's with her friends, it's just nice to be here," Monica said.

"Look Monica and Grandfather, Sam and I want our girls to get to know their family. We can make it work as long as there aren't any expectations or any talk about their future. All that matters is that Danielle and Breanna are happy and safe," Jason said.

"Understood Jason, but they can't deny they're Quartermaines any more than you can," Edward added.

"You're right Edward, let's just see what happens," Sam said as she winked at him trying to avoid confrontation between Jason and Edward. "I'm going to go say hi to a few other people," Sam added leaving Jason to talk with Edward and Monica.

Neither Sam nor Jason were huge fans of parties, but they owed it to their little girl to bring family and friends together to celebrate with her. Carly, Josslyn and Morgan had arrived as well as a few of Danni's friends from school. Sam walked around and talked to everyone even though it was probably the last thing she wanted to do. She and Jason spotted one another and made eye contact. They quickly found their way to the corner of their patio where they were alone.

"How are you doing?" Jason asked as he put his arm around her.

"Ok, but I can't stop thinking about Bree. Have you heard from Robin?" she asked.

"No, but I'm sure she's got everything under control," he said as he pulled her into a hug. As Jason was holding Sam in his arms, he noticed that Elizabeth, Lucky and the boys arrived along with Dante and Lulu. "Don't look now, but the Spencers are here," he whispered.

"Thanks for the warning, I'll be on my best behavior," Sam smirked as she and Jason shared a laugh and Sam pulled away. "Hey Aiden, Cam, and Jake! Danni's probably over by the moon bounce. I know that she'll be excited to see you boys," Sam said.

"Be careful boys," Elizabeth said.

When the boys had walked away, the four adults stood there awkwardly. Lucky was the first to speak. "Thanks guys for the invite. It's nice for the kids to spend some time together," he said.

"Absolutely, anytime," Sam added.

Just then, Jason's phone rang. "Excuse me," he said as he stepped away.

"Looks like Jason hasn't changed. Business always comes first," Elizabeth smirked.

"If you only knew, enjoy the party," was all Sam could stay as they exchanged glances and she walked over to greet Dante and Lulu.

"Dante, Lulu. Thanks for coming," She said.

"Thanks for inviting us," Lulu said.

"We love that little girl of yours," Dante added.

"Thanks. She is one of a kind," Sam said laughing.

"She really loved stopping by Crimson with Maxie this week," Lulu informed Sam.

"I'm sure she did. Maxie wants to make her into a little Diva. I don't think Jason could handle that. Maxie is enough for him," Sam said. "How's Sonny?" she asked Dante.

"Sonny's about the same and until he takes his medication and really tries to get over Brenda, he won't," he said.

"That's tough," Sam offered not knowing what else to say. She knew Sonny was in a bad place and that was dangerous.

"But we're not here to talk about Sonny," Dante said.

"You know Danni asked if Sonny was coming this morning and we told her he wasn't feeling well, so if she asks you can tell her the same?" Sam asked Dante.

"Sure will," Dante said.

"Look at Danni and the boys over there. Dante let's go check them out," Lulu suggested.

"She always wants to be with the kids," Dante said as they walked away.

"It's good practice," Sam said sarcastically and Dante and Lulu both looked back giving Sam an odd glance.

By that time, Jason had returned to Sam. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and held her tight.

"Any news?" she asked.

"That was one of the contacts from Baltimore. The gunman is still on the 8th floor and the hospital is locked down, but business as usual," he explained.

"Which means Bree and Robin are locked in the NICU," Sam said.

"That's right. She's in the safest place she could be right now, and tomorrow we'll be with her," Jason said.

"Are you missing Bree?" Maxie asked as she walked up beside them.

"You could say that," Sam said.

"Well Sam, the caterer is ready and I think that everyone is starving, so why don't you let everyone know it's time to eat," Maxie suggested.

"You mean announce it?" Sam asked.

"Or you could use a bull horn, but you don't have one of those. You have to thank everyone for coming and I'd think you'd be able to do that better than Jason. No offense," Maxie rambled.

"None taken," Jason said.

"Let me get Danni and we'll make that announcement," Sam said as she walked over to the playset and found Danni and Jake playing alone in the sandbox. They were playing with motorcycles in the sandbox and Sam listened to their conversation for a minute. She could tell they were enjoying playing with one another. "Hey Danni, what are you doing?" she asked.

"Jake and I are playing motorcycles in the sand. Josslyn didn't want to get dirty and Aiden and Cam didn't like motorcycles, so it's just me and Jake," the little girl explained.

"Well it's a good thing you're not still in your dress. You are one sandy little girl. How did you end up with so many motorcycles, is she being fair, Jake?" Sam asked.

"She's being fair, I gave her all those. Danni has nice toys and you're a nice mommy," he said.

"Why thank you. Right now, I have to take Danni for a few minutes, but she can play with you later and if she doesn't, you can come over to play at our house anytime, ok?"

"Ok," Jake said with a smile on his face. He thought Danni was so lucky to have such a nice Mommy and a cool Daddy. He knew her Dad had a real motorcycle and he thought that was very cool.

"But Mommy, we were just getting ready for the crash," Danni protested as Sam walked her over to wash her hands.

"I know sweetheart, but we need to thank everyone for coming and tell them it's time for food," Sam explained.

"Ok," Danni agreed as they walked over to where Jason was standing. "Daddy Jake and I were playing the best game with motorcycles in the sand!" the little girl said enthusiastically.

"You were. You can play with Jake later," Jason suggested. It melted his heart that his son was playing with his daughter and he secretly wished that somehow Jake could be part of his life.

"Are we ready for this?" Sam asked.

"Ready or not," Jason said.

Jason whistled his lips to get everyone's attention and when it was quiet, he looked to Sam and waited for her to speak. She lifted Danni up. "Hi everyone, Jason, Danni and I would like to thank all of you for being here with us. As you know, our lives have been a little crazy lately. You know we like it crazy. We wanted to take some time and celebrate Graduation with Danni and her friends, but we also want to celebrate Danni's 4th birthday with our family and friends. Thanks so much for coming and all of your help in the past couple of months, it means a lot to Jason and I. Please help yourselves to food, drinks, and anything else you may find," she said but then she felt Danni tapping her on the shoulder. "Do you want to add anything, Danni?" Sam asked unsure of what she might say.

"Thanks to Mommy and Daddy for coming and Emma and her Mommy and Daddy for staying with Bree. Bree is going to come to our next party," the little girl said confidently as Sam smiled then started to cry and Jason was left standing there speechless.

"So everyone eat, drink, and have fun," Maxie finished for the couple as she watched Jason pull Sam and Danni into a hug and away from the spotlight.

Alexis had noticed that since they arrived at the house, Sam seemed overly emotional and she made a note to herself to try and talk to Sam. She knew that it could have been the day and being overwhelmed, but it seemed like something was going on.

"Mommy, why are you crying? Did I make you sad?" Danni asked.

Sam looked her blue-eyed little girl in the face. "No baby, you could never make me sad, I'm crying happy tears for you today," she explained hating that she wasn't being completely honest, but knowing that was best for her four year old.

Molly noticed that Sam seemed upset, but was trying to put on a smile for Danni. She thought of a way to give Jason and Sam a little bit of alone time to chat.

"Hey Danni, why don't I help you get some food," Molly suggested as her niece jumped down from Sam's arms and held out her hand. Molly winked at her big sister, but she wasn't sure Sam even noticed.

"Thanks Molly," Jason said as he turned his attention back to his wife. He pulled his wife into another hug. "It's going to be all right."

"I know Jason, it's just hard to be here wondering about her," she said.

"Jason, I'm sorry to interrupt," Edward said as he walked up.

"Yes Grandfather," he said.

"It just occurred to me that this is the first time I've been to your new house. What a fine house it is. Would you care to show me around?" Edward asked.

Jason looked to Sam. He hated to leave her, but she mouthed "Go" to him. "Ok Grandfather, I'll show you around," he said as he started off.

Sam watched as their guests went through the line for food. She watched Kristina closely. Her sister did not get in the line. In fact, she watched Kristina walk around to the front of the house. She followed her to their small garden area in the front where there was a swing.

"Hey Krissy," she said as she approached her.

"Hi Sam, I hope you don't mind, but I needed to think," the teen explained.

"Do you want to talk about it? I can be a really good listener," Sam offered.

"Sam, I've missed having you here so much," Kristina confessed.

"I've missed you too, but I had to do it for Bree. I love you Krissy and I'm here now," she offered.

Kristina sighed. She didn't know where to begin. She knew that Sam would listen and offer advice, but she loved that Sam didn't judge her like her mother and even Molly would.

"Sam, I messed up…big time," Kristina confessed.

"Well, coming from somebody who's done a lot of messing up, I know that it's best to be honest and to learn from your mistakes, so what's been going on?" Sam asked.

"Well, you remember when I visited you in the hospital and you were telling me how you knew Jason was the one…you know your best friend who completes you and that you love more than anything,"

"I remember a similar conversation, but Krissy I also remember telling you that I am who I am first. Jason's just the guy that fills my heart with love and that together we have these two amazing little girls,"

"Yes, well I know that Ethan is the one for me,"

"Krissy, we've been through this, you're too young, you have so much time to live, don't rush."

"Well I did have lots of time. Sam I know you know I'm pregnant,"

"That's what they tell me," Sam said sarcastically.

"Sam I don't know how that happened. I was on the pill," Kristina pleaded.

"Been there done that, but it's too late for you to complain about it. You've got to make the best of what you have. Kristina a baby is a HUGE responsibility. I love my kids with my life, but I'm glad that Jason and I fell in love and grew together with one another before we ever had Danni, who was a miraculous mistake by the way,"

"Sam, this baby is probably Johnny Zacharra's," Kristina admitted.

Sam decided to pretend that she didn't realize how that was possible. "What? That guy promised me he'd keep his hands off you, I'm going to-"

"Ok Sam, wait a minute. Johnny didn't realize what was happening,"

"What do you mean he didn't realize Krissy? I think Johnny knows that sex means a possible baby and if Ethan's the one, why were you-"

Kristina interrupted again this time with tears in her eyes. "It's all my fault. I wanted to make Ethan jealous, so I gave Johnny something to make him not realize it was me and we hooked up,"

"Does Johnny know you're pregnant?" Sam asked.

"Anthony found out through the hospital and he knew we slept together. He threatened to take my baby. He doesn't want a Zacharra raised by a Corinthos," Kristina explained.

"Is this baby Johnny's?" Sam asked.

Kristina was silent and didn't say anything. "Johnny's the only guy I had sex with before I found out I was pregnant," she admitted.

"Wait a minute, are you telling me that you slept with Ethan?" Sam asked.

"I thought that I could make Ethan believe this was his baby. He really does care about me Sam," Kristina said.

"But Mom thinks-" Sam started.

"I know Sam, it's all my fault. I messed up big time and I don't know what to do."

Sam sighed and she pulled her sister into a hug. "Krissy I want you to know that what you did is not right, but I am proud of you for being honest with me. I'll be here for you as much as I can. But now you've got another life to think about and that means it's not about you anymore, do you understand that?"

Kristina shook her head up and down as she cried into Sam's shoulder.

"I mean it Krissy. The second that baby was conceived. It became all about keeping him or her safe. I'll be here for you, but you have to understand that it's not about you," Sam said.

"Sam, you're the best big sister, thank you," Kristina said as she hugged her sister one more time.

"Hey you two, I was wondering what happened to my girls," Alexis said as she walked up behind the swing.

"Sorry Mom, I came here to think and Sam followed me," Kristina explained.

"I needed a little break too," Sam admitted.

"Sweetheart, is everything ok?" Alexis asked.

"Yes Mom, it's been a beautiful day. Danni is so excited and so far the party is going well despite our many varied guests," Sam said as she bit her lower lip and was unable to fool her mother.

"Honey, I know you. Something's wrong. Are you worried about Bree?" Alexis asked.

Sam sighed deeply. "I am," she answered simply. She wanted to tell her mother about the lockdown, but she and Jason had agreed they'd try and keep it to themselves so that Danni didn't worry.

"Honey, you can probably call Robin, Patrick, or the hospital," Alexis suggested.

"I know," Sam said. "It's just that Jason and I want today to be about Danni," Sam lied.

"Do you want me to call?" Alexis offered.

Sam couldn't take it anymore. She had just lectured Kristina about honesty. She couldn't lie to her mother like that. "We called after graduation and there was no answer. So we tried a few numbers and we finally found out that the hospital is on lockdown."

"Honey what's going on? Why is there a lockdown?" Alexis wondered.

"Apparently there is a gunman on the 8th floor of the hospital, but just to be safe the entire hospital is locked down. Robin was in Bree's room, so she's locked there with her. Robin called Jason and said it's business as usual, but Mom there's a gunman," Sam said as Alexis pulled her into another hug.

"Honey, I'm so sorry," she said.

"Jason is doing what he can from here, but until I know that gunman is gone, I'm still worried. Jason and I didn't want to say anything, because we don't want Danni scared or worried,"

"I can understand that honey, thanks for telling me," Alexis said as she caressed Sam's cheek.

"In my head, I know she's safe, but—"

"But in your heart, you're scared," Alexis said.

"Sam, I'm so sorry, I had no idea," Kristina said.

"It's ok. It helps to explain to someone why I've been acting like a complete hormonal freak all day," Sam said.

"You and Jason have a beautiful place," Edward said as he walked up to where Alexis, Sam and Kristina were sitting.

"Kristina, let's go get something to eat," Alexis said as they left.

"Thank you. Sit down Edward. Swing with me," Sam said as she patted the empty spot beside her.

Jason watched Sam. He knew that she and Edward always had a connection, but Sam was like that with so many people.

"You know, it's nice to see that you've turned Jason into a family man," Edward said.

"A what? N-n-n-n-n-o. Jason has always loved his family. Jason hasn't changed since the day I met him. He loves with his heart and does whatever it takes to protect his family. He's a lot like you," Sam suggested.

"No dear. You've changed Jason and for the better," Edward insisted.

"Jason's the same. He's just a father now and a pretty amazing one at that," Sam said feeling guilty that they were talking about Jason as he was standing right there.

"Grandfather, I love my kids and I love my wife, they don't have any expectations," Jason interjected.

Sam was shocked by what she heard. She and Jason had rarely talked about his life as Jason Quartermaine, but she was starting to understand it a bit more. Jason Quartermaine was a guy who loved his family, but was given a lot of expectations. Jason Morgan was still a family man and somehow Sam felt that their girls may bring Jason Morgan to the Quartermaines.

So it's not the entire party…but what do you think? What is going on with Kristina? Michael? Baby Bree? The Quartermaines? Please review if you want me to continue writing this story.
