Hi everyone! Happy New Year! This story is coming to an end but not without a little bit of a twist. I also had to change the rating this chapter. As always, thank you for reading and thanks for your reviews. I wish you nothing but the best in the New Year. Hopefully it won't take me long to finish this story up.
As Jason walked back to the condo from the hospital and after returning calls to Johnny in a more secluded location, he was distracted. The news Johnny shared with him scared him. Anthony had discovered the alliance Johnny made with Jason and was not happy. Although Anthony had not directly threatened Jason or his family, in his eyes Jason would always work for Sonny. Aside from going after Michael, Jason and his family was the next best thing than Sonny according to Anthony. Johnny really felt for Sam and Jason's kids. In a way, he saw them as himself and his sister, innocently born into a world of violence. Johnny respected Jason immensely because he had the courage to do something Anthony had not. Jason had decided to walk away from the business and go completely legitimate and unlike Anthony or Sonny, Jason's decision was all about Danni and Bree. Johnny vowed to do whatever was necessary to protect the innocence of Jason and Sam's daughters.
Jason felt certain that he could trust Johnny. He had talked to several guards and asked them to continue to monitor the hospital, the condo, and to keep a safe distance on Sam and Danni when they weren't with Jason. Jason considered going after Anthony himself, but that wasn't his life anymore and he could risk possible retaliation. However, if Anthony tried to do anything to harm his family, he was fair game whether Jason was in the business or not.
When Jason opened the door to the condo, he forgot about everything else when he saw the sight in front of him. Sam was lying on the couch with Danni on her stomach. Danni had her rear end in the air and was curled into a ball that fit between Sam's chest and her stomach. Danni had her fingers intertwined in Sam's. The storybook was open and on the coffee table and the TV was still on. Jason watched them in their sleep, so peaceful. He walked over and used the remote to turn off the TV. Then he closed the storybook and picked up White, Danni's stuffed animal who had fallen on the floor. He placed White beside his daughter. Jason covered them up and carefully swept the hair out of Danni's face and then Sam's. He gently placed a kiss on Danni's forehead and then on Sam's forehead. Sam turned her head and woke up, still very groggy. "What time is it?" she asked in a whisper.
"It's after midnight. Go back to sleep," Jason answered.
"I can't," Sam said nodding to her breasts. Jason knew exactly what that meant. It had been a while and it was time for her to pump some milk. Jason had made plenty of jokes about Sam breast feeding and the need to pump. It was fun to tease her, but the truth was he really thought it was the most incredibly beautiful thing in the world.
"Here let me take her," Jason said as he knelt down and he and Sam both started to remove Danni's fingers from hers. Careful not to wake her, Jason picked her up. Danni's head fell right on top of Jason's shoulder. She awoke for a brief moment, only to fall back asleep. Jason stood with a sleeping Danni in his arms while Sam walked to the closet and gathered what she needed.
"Jason, what's going on?" Sam asked in a whisper as she began to pump milk. She was afraid the pump was too loud and tried to muffle it with a pillow.
Jason looked down at Danni. "Don't worry, she's out," he whispered. "And I've taken care of everything else. All you need to do is worry about our girls," he added.
"Jason, come on. We're in this together. We're a team, no matter what. You have to tell me what's going on," Sam pleaded.
"All you need to know is not to worry. I'm going to try and put her to sleep," he said walking down the hall.
"You just want me to yourself," Sam said humorously as he walked.
Jason nodded, "That's right." He carefully carried Danni into her bedroom and tucked her into her bed. She never awoke. He plugged in her nightlight and kissed her cheek. "Good Night Princess," he said as he walked out. Before returning to the living room where Sam was, Jason went into their bedroom and changed into his sweats. As he walked out into the living room, he noticed Sam was finished. He took the pump and the milk from her. "I've got this," he said taking care of cleaning everything and labeling and storing the milk while Sam changed into pajamas. She stopped to look in on Danni who was fast asleep. Sam smiled, her life was good. Almost as if they were in sync, Jason and Sam met one another back in the living room at the same time.
"What a day," she said stepping into his embrace. He rubbed her back.
"Tell me about it. I flew to and from Port Charles," he said.
"Well I am very glad you did," she said as she stood on her tippy toes until he bent down, taking his mouth in hers for a long and sensual kiss. When Sam pulled away, she grabbed Jason's hand and led him over to the couch.
"I'm glad I did too," he said as they both sat down beside one another and Sam moved closer, so she was in his arms. She rested her head on his hard chest and felt at ease. She could sense that Jason was feeling a little overwhelmed and distracted. He always felt as if he had to carry the weight of the world around on his shoulders. She wanted to distract him and make him feel better, but she also wanted to understand.
"Tell me about your day. The adult version," she said looking into his eyes and knowing that after the call from her mother and the way Jason was acting, there was more to his mood than the trip.
"I'm just happy to be here with you now," he said simply.
As she rubbed his arm, she looked into his eyes and saw pain in them. She wasn't sure what was going on and she knew Jason would tell her when he was ready, but she really wanted to be there for her husband. "Then why does it feel like you're a million miles away," she mumbled unsure if Jason could even hear her.
Jason was lost in his own thoughts thinking about running into Michael and Abby and then his conversation with Johnny. He heard Sam's voice but wasn't quite sure what she had said.
"Jason?" he heard and he looked over into Sam's chocolately brown eyes and saw so much love reflected in them. "Where were you just now," she asked.
"I was thinking," he said simply as he moved his hand from around her waist and started stroking her thigh. She was wearing some sexy silk pajamas and despite the thoughts going through his mind, he really wanted to get her out of them.
As Sam lay there with her head resting on Jason's bare chest, all she could think about was taking his pain away and making him feel good, even if just for the night. After all, they did have a lot to celebrate. Danni was with them and sleeping soundly and Bree would be coming home soon. All at once, Sam lifted her head from his chest and sat on her knees facing Jason. She covered his mouth with hers and began kissing him forcefully. He moaned as her tongue circled his lips begging for entrance. As their tongues danced with one another, all they wanted to do was feel. They needed to feel one another, to know that no matter what happened they'd get through it together. Sam pulled away from the kiss too soon for Jason and he growled in frustration, only to become satisfied as her lips moved down to the sensitive spot on his neck that he loved for her to kiss.
"Talk about making me feel better," he smirked as she continued to suck on the sensitive spot and he was sure there'd be a mark there. He ran his fingers through her hair which cascaded around her shoulders. She was perfect and the way she was making him feel made him rock hard and he wanted her.
"I've got plenty more where that came from," she said as she moved her lips to his shoulders and then to his chest. Her tongue found his nipple and began to lick and suck on it.
"Damn it Sam. That feels so good," he said as he stopped thinking about everything else except for the way his wife was making him feel.
As she straddled him and kissed his chest, she could see how much he wanted her. She could see it in his eyes and she could see his erection through his sweats. She reached her hand down and touched him over the fabric of the sweats and he let out a groan. "Oh baby," he called out. Suddenly she thought about Danni and while she was typically a heavy sleeper, she decided they'd be better safe than sorry. Sam lifted her head and placed a gentle kiss on his lips and as she stood up, he could see the cleavage from her pajamas and he smiled in appreciation. "Let's continue this in the bedroom," she whispered as she tugged on his arm.
Jason stood up and took her by surprise as he scooped her up in his arms and she squealed as she wrapped her arms around his neck and carried her down the hall. "Jase- Danni," she said between kisses, "make sure she's out." Jason pushed open the door and they looked in to see their little girls sleeping soundly.
"I think we're good to go," he said as he walked out with Sam in his arms and she went back to placing kisses all over his perfectly sculpted chest.
"Good, because I don't want any interruptions," she said as she felt him stop and lock their bedroom door once they were inside. Jason and Sam had perfected their love making so as not to wake Danni, but he still didn't want to take any chances of having to explain to her what they were doing. "I want to take your mind off of everything and make you feel good," she said as he laid her sideways down on the bed carefully. He stood and smiled in appreciation as he looked at the sight before him. She was gorgeous. Her olive skin was silky and perfect, her hair was long and soft, and her breasts were plump and full. They looked great all the time, but since breast feeding, they were even more incredible. "I want that too Sam," he said simply, "I want to make you feel good too."
Sam looked up at Jason. He had a gorgeous body. He was rock hard and perfectly toned. His skin had begun to tan and she devoured every inch of him. She could see his erection jutting out in his sweats and she didn't know how he would last. "Let's not waste any time," she said as she slowly crawled up onto her knees and he stood beside the bed. She began trailing kisses over his chest as her hands rubbed over and stroked his back.
He reached behind her and grabbed her ass and started massaging. He gave her a tight squeeze and she moaned. As her hands moved the waistband of his sweats, he expected her to pull them down, but instead she stuck her hand inside his boxers and stroked his shaft. He could barely think because of the way she was making him feel and then when she began touching him, he thought he could come right then and there. Quickly she removed her hand and he growled in frustration. "Patience," she simply whispered.
"I need to see these off of you," he said as he started unbuttoning the top of her pajamas and her luscious breasts popped out. He immediately began cupping them with his hands and she groaned softly hoping he hadn't noticed. They were still sore from the breast pump, but she'd never tell Jason. She knew he loved them. Normally she loved the feeling of his mouth on her, but lately it had been a little painful. Tonight she wanted him to feel good and if that meant her breasts were a little sore, she didn't care.
As he licked and sucked her breasts, her nipples became rock hard and he tried to be gentle. Sam hadn't said anything, but he knew they were probably sore. He heard her moan and as he had his mouth all over each breast, she began to loosen the waist band on his sweats. In one swift motion, she pulled his sweats and boxers down and moving his mouth away from her breast, he stepped out of them. She felt the cool air hit her nipple for a few seconds and then felt his hot breath return to sucking and licking them. He'd spend some time on the right and then move to the left and back and forth. She put her hands on his rock hard cock and began massaging his balls gently. He called out, "Oh Sam," as she continued. "Do you like that?" she asked in a husky voice. "Hell yes," he said as she continued and he removed his mouth from her breast and stared into her dark eyes. She smiled suggestively and he had an idea what she was thinking. "Jason, sit," she commanded as she patted the bed beside her. "Against the pillows baby," she said in a husky voice. Jason climbed up on the bed and scooted back to the pillows. Sam crawled up toward the headboard and their gaze met one another as she straddled him and began kissing his shoulders and his chest. Jason leaned up and started to kiss her shoulder. Even though it felt amazing, she really wanted him to relax. She leaned up and pushed him back toward the headboard. "Baby, relax. I want you to sit back and enjoy," she said in a suggestive tone. "I can't help it," he replied as he eagerly started kissing her shoulders and her earlobe again. "Then I'll just have to go lower," she said as she started kissing his stomach, abdomen and belly button. His throbbing cock made him hope that she was going much lower. "Jason I want you in my mouth, do you want that?" she asked as she looked up with a smile. "Yes," he said. "Tell me baby, tell me what you want," she said as her fingertips lightly danced on his hipbones. "You know," he said. "I want to hear you say it," she pleaded. "Sam, I want your mouth on me," he said as she moved lower and used her tongue to tease his cock. She swirled her tongue around the tip as he breathed heavy. He thought he was going to explode. As she took him into her mouth, she used her hand to massage his balls and he couldn't even begin to describe how amazing it felt. Every time Sam took him into her mouth she tried something different and whatever she was doing by flicking her tongue was fabulous. He knew he was getting close, but he wanted this to last. He began thrusting in and out of her mouth and all she could think about was how it would feel later as he moved in and out of another part of her body. The sounds of pleasure he made articulated to her that there was nothing on his mind other than the way she was making him feel. As he pushed his cock deep inside her, she felt him come and she took him fully in her mouth and as he released, she felt completely satisfied at how she had made him feel. She removed her mouth and swallowed then she looked up at him and smiled.
"Are you relaxed?" she asked as she crawled up into his arms and he kissed her.
"Sam that was incredible," he said kissing her forehead.
"Jason, I'm so wet right now," she confessed.
"I'd love to see that," he said looking down at her pajama bottoms. He rolled over and braced above her as he removed the pajama bottoms and realized Sam wasn't wearing any underwear.
"Jason I need you inside of me," she said in a husky voice. "Now," she added.
"Patience," he said mimicking something she had told him earlier. "You're beautiful," he said looking at her naked body lying there wet and ready for him. He didn't think his body could react again so quickly, but he was hard.
"Thank you," she replied. "You're pretty handsome yourself," she said as her eyes roamed over his body and to his throbbing cock.
He bent down and began kissing her lips overpoweringly as his erection pressed against her stomach and she could feel how much he wanted her. She dug her nails into his back and then massaged his back and his ass as their tongues continued to devour one another. "Jason," she called out.
"Sam, tell me what you want," he said as he removed his lips and looked into her eyes.
"I want you, baby. I want your rock hard cock inside of me and I want you to fuck me right now," she said as she spread her legs wider. "I'm wet and ready for you," she added as he put his finger in between her slick folds and began moving it in and out. He hips bucked against him as he swiftly removed his finger and positioned his penis. In one deep thrust, he sank into her; filling her and making her feel complete. "Yes, baby," she screamed as he covered her mouth in kisses. He continued to thrust inside of her powerfully as her hips met him thrust for thrust and their bodies moved in unison until finally they reached their climax together and he spilled inside of her. Jason collapsed on top of her and they were both breathing heavy. He lay on top of her as she stroked his back and he stroked her arms and shoulders. He kissed her on the lips. "I love you," he said as he pulled out of her and adjusted the bedspread so it was covering them.
Sam crawled into his arms. "I love you too," she said. They lay in silence for a while just cuddling with one another. "We needed that," Sam finally said.
"We did. I'm not complaining, but we made love last night," he said.
"I know, Jason. I just love making love to you," she said as she lay with her husband. She felt the most intense connection to him when they cuddled in the afterglow. She knew that Jason was the man who made her feel and the first man to love her unconditionally no matter what.
"Well I can never get enough of you," he said as he kissed her on the cheek.
"Jason, I'm worried. Did something happen in Port Charles?" she asked and she hoped her gut feeling was wrong, but she knew Jason's mind had been elsewhere before they made love.
"Why would you think that?" he asked trying to avoid the question as he lovingly stroked her arm. He didn't want to lie to Sam, but he also didn't want to alarm her or distract her with potential problems that may or may not exist.
"Because I know you," she said as she listened to his heart, which she noticed was beating a little faster. "Come on, now tell me what's going on so that I can help."
He looked down and their eyes met for a moment. He knew that he needed to tell Sam what he was thinking about. "Well a few things happened today," he started. "First, I was trying to watch Johnny and make sure he was on our side."
"Do you think Johnny is not being honest?" she asked as concern filled her dark eyes knowing that she and Jason had basically trusted Johnny with their lies.
"No Sam, I honestly think that Johnny sees helping us as a way for our girls to have the life he dreamed of for he and Claudia, so no I think Johnny is being loyal," he confessed as he continued looking deep into her eyes.
"I'm glad he's loyal," Sam said as she remembered when Jason had pleaded with Sonny not to kill Johnny. "But why would Johnny ever begin to compare you as a parent to Anthony. Jason, you're nothing like him and you've never done a thing that hasn't been in your kids' best interest," she said as her hands gently stroked his chest and she looked into his eyes. She wanted him to believe everything she was telling him.
"Maybe not intentionally," Jason answered, but in his heart he knew that he had let Danni down. For the first 3 years of her life he had been in Pentonville to protect Michael and ironically enough Michael was the one who was putting Jason's family in danger. His thoughts drifted to Jake. He may not have let Jake down, but he certainly didn't want Jake, or Danni and Bree for that matter, to grow up and discover they had been lied to. He really hoped that when they returned to Port Charles, he could be in his son's life.
"Stop Jason, you are a loving man and we all make mistakes. I wish I could have carried Bree longer, but it was out of my control, so we make the best choices we can for her now," she said.
"Bree's going to be fine," he said.
"I know. Can you believe that we'll be bringing her home soon?" Sam asked as excitement filled her voice and she smiled just thinking about it.
"I guess with 3 girls in the house I'll be stocking up on bubble bath," he said with a sly smile.
Sam could tell he seemed to feel better, but knew there was still something he wasn't telling her. She decided to dismiss it and knew that he'd tell her when the time was right. "Now that is something I could never get enough of," Sam said suggestively.
"Neither can Danni. You know she is so much like you it's amazing," Jason said thinking about the love and compassion Danni showed for Michael and how adaptable she was in situations.
"Thanks. I think," Sam said. "How about a bubble bath?" she asked.
"Now?" he questioned, knowing that it was getting very late.
"Or you could pay up later," she said.
"I think I'll wait until later," he said.
"Don't worry Jason, I won't let you off the hook," she said.
"Somehow I believe you," he said as he pulled her closer to him and kissed her forehead.
She settled in his arms as he started to get up. "Jase, where are you going?" she asked.
"Well I want to check on Danni and unlock the door. She should be fine, but if she needs us I want her to be able to come in," he said getting up and putting his sweats on. He tossed her pajamas to her.
When he returned, he reported to Sam that Danni was sleeping soundly. They lay in one another's arms and drifted off to sleep.

A week later, Sam sat in Bree's room as she watched her daughter sleep. Since Danni had been back with them, she and Jason tried to balance their time between Danni and Bree. They hadn't heard from Anthony, which was a very good sign. Jason had even spoken to Carly who was trying to remain calm about Michael, but doing a lousy job of it. There had been no changes on Sonny. Alexis had announced that she and the girls were taking a summer trip to Greece. Sam thought it was odd, but assumed it had something to do with Kristina and her pregnancy. While she missed her mom and her sisters, she was very thankful for the uninterrupted time with Jason and her daughters.
Today Jason had offered to spend the day with Danni. It was a hot July day and he was taking her to the aquarium where it was cool while Sam was at the hospital. Sam wished she could be in both places, but she knew that wasn't possible. She hoped that Jason and Danni had a wonderful day. Both she and Jason were trying to make their time with Danni special, because they knew that once Bree came home, she would need lots of their attention. Sam didn't know when that would be. She felt like they were playing tug of war with the hospital as to when their baby would be released. While the doctors had been optimistic, they were cautiously optimistic and keeping a close eye on Bree. Sam had spoken to Jason about the possibility of hiring a night nurse to take care of Bree overnight. While he had reservations about having someone in their condo overnight, he told Sam they'd do whatever necessary for their tiny infant. Sam had gotten a list of possible nurses and she and Jason intended to conduct interviews. The doctors said they were hopeful that within a week they'd be taking their daughter home. "Hey little one," Sam spoke softly as she watched her sleep. "You're going to be coming home soon. You'll be coming home with your Daddy, your sister, and I. We love you so much," she said as she placed a kiss on Bree's cheek.
"I'm so sorry to see this little one leave," Linda announced as she walked in. "But I know that all good things must come to an end," she added.
Sam looked into the nurse's eyes. "We're excited to be taking her home. We'll be staying here for a while and we'll be in for check-ups," she explained.
"That's good," she said as she began making notes on the baby's chart.
"How are her vitals?" Sam asked. She had learned how to read her daughter's charts and asked several questions out of concerns for Breanna's well-being. Jason was the same. He asked questions and was still very cautious when holding his daughter.
"Excellent," the nurse responded. She really was amazed at how far the Morgans baby had come in such a short period of time.
"That's what we like to hear," Sam said with a smile of pride for how far her baby had come.

"Daddy, it's sticky," Danni squealed as she touched the jellyfish in the tank. Jason smiled watching his daughter. She was having a lot of fun at the aquarium and he wished that Sam could be there too sharing in this experience. They had spent the day learning all about the different kinds of fish and sea life at the aquarium.
"Sweetie we have one more place we can go see," Jason explained. The last stop was a room that was on the top floor that was just like the rainforest.
"What's that?" the little girl asked inquisitively. She was having so much fun with her dad. Even though she was only 4, she hadn't had a lot of time alone with Jason and she loved when he took her somewhere just the two of them. He spent the first 3 years of her life in prison and then once Sam became pregnant and put on bed rest, their life had become crazy. She had been smiling from ear to ear since they arrived at the aquarium.
"You'll have to wait and see," Jason answered and Danni started to pout because Jason wouldn't tell her. He knew she was frustrated but also assumed she was pretty tired from their full day. As they rode up the escalator to the rainforest level, Jason held Danni's hand and his phone started to ring. Noticing it was Sam, he answered. "Hello,"
"Hey Jase, how's your day going?"
"So far so good, I think someone is having lots of fun," he said as he looked down at Danni who nodded her head up and down. "How's Bree?" he asked.
"She's great Jase. It's hard to believe that she's been in the NICU almost 3 months and that next week is her original due date. We're going to take her home soon, I just know it," she rambled.
"I can't wait," Jason answered as he and Danni stepped off the escalator and he pulled her aside to finish the conversation with Sam. "What's up?" Jason asked concerned that she was calling.
"I was just checking in. Would you mind if I set up these nurse interviews for tomorrow?" She asked, eager to start interviewing nurses so everything would be in place for Bree's release.
"Sure, do whatever you have to. Danni and I won't be much longer. We love you," he said.
"I love you too. Give Danni a kiss and a hug from her mom Jase," Sam said.
"I will. Bye," he said ending with call.
"What did Mommy want?" Danni asked.
"How'd you know that was your Mommy?" Jason asked his perceptive daughter.
"Because you said we love you and that has to be Mommy," Danni said matter of factly.
"You're so smart," he said picking her up and hugging and kissing her as she laughed. "Those are from Mommy," he said as he continued kissing her, "and these re from me," he added.
As they walked into the rain forest room, Danni's eyes were huge. "Daddy it's just like the books from Africa!" she exclaimed as what she saw in front of her amazed her. Jason smiled as he watched his little girl take in the room around her. He loved watching her explore the rainforest room with curiosity and innocence. She was pointing out at animals and plant life that she recognized and telling Jason when his phone rang again. He prayed everything was ok with Sam and Bree, but when he looked at the caller ID, he noticed the number had been blocked.
"Morgan," he answered as he kept a close eye on Danni.
"That pretty little girl sure is enjoying the monkeys, Mr. Morgan. Perhaps she can help me with some of my plants," the familiar voice said as he laughed into the phone. "You'd better keep your eye on her," he said.
"Damn it Zacchara, leave my family alone!" Jason said into the phone with clenched fists only to realize the line was dead.
"That wasn't Mommy," Danni said as she walked over to find her father apparently upset.
"No princess that wasn't Mommy," he said simply as he looked around the room to see if they were being followed. He silently cursed Anthony because he knew how to get to them. He vowed that no matter what he'd keep Sam and the girls safe.
Please review. What happened to Alexis and the girls? Can Jason keep Danni and Bree safe? Can Johnny really be trusted? Should Jason have told Sam about seeing Michael or his thoughts about Jake.
