Thank you for reading and to all who have made comments. I was having major writers block so this chapter is not my best. I am sorry if it was not worth the wait...but I tried :(

Chapter 8
I am not changing the storyline. Episodes from 2/1-4/2010 I thought fit the story and JaSam perfectly, however on 2/4/2010 we should have had more…so I am picking up my story at the kiss!
"And the best part" Sam said
"What?"
"You can move in with me!"
"Ah, I get to move in with you?"
"Mmhmm" Sam smiled
"You promise to wear those boots once a week"
"Mmm, well" she smiled as he pulled her shoulder into him. As his lips were about to meet hers she said "Yeah" happily
The kiss was short lived due to a phone call "It's Diane. Maybe she got bail"
"You go see Sonny, I am going to head over to my place and wait for Ronnie or whatever his name is to come with a warrant"
"I should be there with you or Diane"
"Sonny is more important…I have this handled. Give Sonny my best and I will see you later" She winked and left.
Jason left shortly after to go speak with Sonny about getting on a plane and fleeing. Meanwhile Sam went back to her apartment to wait for the police. "Police Officers, open up" Ronnie announced at Sam's door.
"I had I feeling I would be seeing you"
"Yeah. Well the pleasure is all mine. We should not take up to much of your time, but we have a warrant to search your apartment for the gun and a red wig."
"Go ahead."
"It's clean" one officer said
"Of course it is. You know Ms. McCall maybe you should start socializing with people that can make you accessories to murder." Ronnie said
Alexis came up to hear the last part. "I am sorry detective but that was clearly out of line. If you do not leave the premises immediately I will have no trouble filing charges against your behavior toward Ms. McCall."
"I apologize, Ms. McCall" Ronnie said as he left
"Wow" was all Sam could say
"Yeah well it has been a rough past two days with Sonny stuff and then Kristina is having a hard time. Molly keeps asking questions and I do not even know how you are doing"
"I am fine"
"Fine? They just searched you apartment for what????"
"The gun they picked off Sonny went missing and they think that I had something to do with it"
"Of course they did. You are with Jason and they are going to call every shot in the book to put Sonny away."
"Can I ask what you think about Sonny going away"
"I hate seeing Kristina like this. She hates her dad but does not want him to go to prison for life. I am almost ready to help Diane make her case to save my daughter from herself."
"I did not expect that. But I do not think Sonny should go to jail either."
"We will see with in the week how things progress. So what are you up to tonight?"
"Not sure yet" Sam said knowing that she was actually going over to Jason's
"In other words you and Jason are doing something and you do not want me to get nosey" Alexis replied
"It is nothing illegal…so your briefcase can stay in your office"
"Okay, well I better get home. I have a feeling Michael and Morgan are going to be over to talk to the girls. They are so secretive"
"Well have fun. You should call Mac if you are bored"
"SAM. What happened to Switzerland?"
"Ha. Bye mom"
Sam headed over to Jason's penthouse with some food to enjoy a quiet evening with him. She knocked but no answer so she fumbled to find her key to the penthouse. As she was trying to unlock it, Jason walked up behind her. "Hey, What's…Let me get that for you" he said grabbing the key to unlock it so she could regain her balance. "What's going on here? "What do you have?"
"I have beer, Chinese food and dessssert." She emphasized staring back at him
"WOW, that sounds like a feast" Jason said following Sam to the couch in the Penthouse
Sam smiled "Yeah, well you know I thought, why not make the best of what could potentially be our last night in the Penthouse" putting down her things on the coffee table she turned to Jason "Please tell me you don't have to work"
Jason paused "No" making Sam get excited.
"Good"
"And, you do not have to worry about me being homeless…because Sonny refused to leave the country"
Sam talked out what she thought about Sonny's refusal to leave. Jason explained that it is frustrating dealing with Sonny. "It is like I am the only one fighting for him not to go to prison. You know what"
Sam looked toward him "What"
"So, I like your plan." Sam got excited almost doing a happy dance "I think we should just" he paused
"What" she said
"Shut out the world tonight, and"
"Oh, well that works for me" Sam said nodding her head
"be together" Jason continued breathy . He tucked a piece of hair behind her ears and pulled her into a soft kiss. Once the kiss ended they took out the Chinese food
"So, I bought stuff on the safe side. I know you do not like adventurous stuff which is surprising considering you love being dangerous" She laughed at her own comment
"Just because I do not care for some of the more unusual types of food does not mean I am not adventurous."
"Really? So you will try some of mine?"
"Maybe another time"
"You are such a baby" she said
"Oh, you are gonna get it now"
"What are you going to do to me?" Sam said leaning in toward his face inch by inch
"I am sure I can think of something" he said going in the rest of the way for a kiss in which he engulfed her whole face. They stood up from the floor to sit on the couch while their kiss deepened. He was nearly on top of her. Slowly he began unbuttoning her flannel shirt while she explored her fingers on his back. Then a knock came at the door—they kept kissing but then stopped as the person on the other side of the door clearly had something important to say. Jason wanted Sam too much to stop so he leaned in for another kiss. Sam slapped his back lightly
"Just go"
Jason groaned in anger as he un-twined Sam's leg from in between his. "Maybe I am being arrested after all"
Sam blew out a frustrated breath "I'll arrest you"
He turned his head around as he walked to the door "That would be an arrest I would have no problem with"
As Jason opened the door he was bombarded with a stroller, belonging to Josslyn with Carly pushing it and Morgan in tow. "Hi Jason" Morgan said putting down his suitcase inside the penthouse.
Jason looked at Sam while he said "Ummm, what's going on? What happened?"
"We are moving in" Carly stated simply
Jason scratched his neck and wanted to scream HELL NO. Sam stood up at Carly's words and at that moment wished Jason did not open the door.
"No, Carly. You cannot move in with me. There is not enough room and you should not live her during a crucial time as this"
Sam walked over to Jason "I am going to leave you two alone to talk"
"Sam, don't go. Just wait a minute"
"Jason, Sam can leave if she wants" Carly said
"Carly, Sam is my guest and this is my house."
"How about I just wait in the kitchen? Morgan there are a few egg rolls left, do you want to eat one in the kitchen?" Sam said
"Can I mom?"
"Sure. Go with Sam while I talk to Jason."
Sam rubbed Jason's arm and then grabbed a few Chinese containers to go into the kitchen.
"One time Michael and I had Chinese food with Jason and all he talked about was how much you love it and made him try gross stuff and he said it actually was not as bad as he made it seem."
"When was this?" Sam said walking past the dining room table Morgan a few steps behind
"You two were not together. I think it was before Michael got shot."
Jason's face turned red—knowing Sam would bring it up later
Jason and Carly talked and yelled while Morgan and Sam talked about Mark teaching diving lessons and Mark going on a Salvage mission for Jax. Sam's cell phone starting ringing; she excused herself from Morgan and got her phone to take upstairs to answer. Jason stared at her every move as Carly stared at him angrily for not paying attention.
"Hello" Sam answered
"Hey McCall, it is Mark. I have exciting news and I wanted to know if you wanted to tag along"
"What's going on?"
"Jax offered me a salvage mission off the coast of Delaware!"
"Wow, that is amazing"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to join me for old time's sake?"
"Is it a weekend thing?"
"No. Jax said it would take till March but I am thinking more towards April because of the weather. So would you come?"
"I would say yes, but it is not a good time for me to be away"
"Oh you cannot go somewhere with another guy or Jason will have issues?"
"No, you saw the paper. Sonny got arrested and I am stuck in the middle. I cannot give details"
"So what has gotten into you McCall. You are covering for Jason and his people and I think this is not going to end well."
"Mark I am able to make my own choices. Jason has never made them for me. Since when are you the man of all good decisions" Sam yelled sparking Jason's attention.
"Well I do not kill people for a living. So do not compare me to anyone…Oh god I sound like your mother"
Sam laughed as Jason stood outside the bedroom door wondering how she went from angry to laughing "I know you are only looking out for me. But I am a lot better at handling myself than I was back then. You have fun on the salvage operation and I guess I will see you in the Spring. At least diving will be warmer than!"
"Bye McCall"
"Bye"
Jason walked up behind Sam and then grabbed her tiny waist into him "Everything okay?"
"Yeah, Mark is going out of town till April. He asked me to go with him. I told him no because of the trial and stuff but honestly I did not want to go. I want to spend time with you"
"I am glad you are staying. I am not sure I could go through this Sonny mess without you."
Sam turned around to hug him "So what is happening with Carly, Morgan and Josslyn staying here."
"I am trying to talk her out of it but this is Carly. I just really wanted to be with you tonight"
"What are they doing now?"
"I told them it was okay to eat the leftovers"
Jason kissed her and then headed down the stairs together to talk to Carly some more. "Carly lets go for round two" Jason said
Josslyn started crying "Do you mind" Sam asked Carly
"Go ahead, her bottle is on the left side of the stroller." Sam picked up Josslyn and then walked over to the couch where Morgan was sitting. Josslyn stopped crying almost instantly. "Wow, she must really like you" Carly said
Jason smiled at Sam holding the baby, she winked at him and then she started talking to Morgan about Josslyn and other things.
"Fine Carly, you can move in temporarily"
"Thanks Jason. Morgan let's get everything unpacked."
Jason sat next to Sam on the couch, still holding Josslyn.
"So you caved?"
"I did. I am sorry for your plans getting ruined."
"Like I said Jason, I can be with you whenever. Plus look at this little angel, she can make anyone forget about things."
Jason sat next to Sam as she was talking to Josslyn. He was touching the baby's belly and smiling at the picture in front of him. "One day, your godfather and I are doing to take you out on a really cool boat. And you will bounce up and down like this. The water will be so clear and the water splashing back in your face. You will have a really fun time."
As Sam was talking to Josslyn, Carly stopped to see the scene before her: Jason, Sam and her baby girl. She thought about how happy Jason and Sam would be to have a little girl of their own. "You are good with her"
"Well, she makes it easy" Sam said smiling at the baby in her arms
"Yes, she does. Would you two mind watching Josslyn and Morgan. I have to go to the hospital and tell Sonny about what Jax did."
"Actually I have to go to the hospital too" Jason said
"UMMM" Sam said
"Why is that?" Carly asked
"Clean up a few loose ends"
"Can you stay with them? Can you handle it" Carly directed her question to Sam
"Yea, sure. I can handle a few kids" Sam chuckled. Jason put his hand on her back while he leaned into kiss her head.
Jason headed to hospital to see Detective Dante Falconeri and Sam was able to put Josslyn down and play some games with Morgan. Sam also dealt with Jax when he came over. She stayed upstairs with the kids because Jax insisted on waiting for Carly to return. After Carly and Jax talked—Jax left angry and Carly came upstairs saying she was going back to her house and wanted to thank me for watching the kids.
"I was planning on waiting for Jason anyway. Morgan is a bit conflicted with the whole Dante thing and Jax involvement, I do not have any parenting experience but I kind of know how it feels to get a new family member. Morgan should talk to Sonny and be able to visit Dante."
"I know" Carly said beginning to tear up
"I am sorry, I did not mean to make you upset."
"No, no you did nothing wrong. I will come back for my things. I am going to go home, Jax is going to stay at the hotel."
"Why don't you leave Josslyn here. She is asleep, it would be a shame to wake her up."
"Okay. I will be back. Thanks Sam!" Carly said and then left with Morgan
"Bye Sam, thanks for talking with me" Morgan said as he was walking out the door
"Anytime" Sam said and then went to lay on the couch. About two hours later Jason came back to find Sam half asleep flipping through the television channels.
"Hey" Jason whispered not to startle her.
"Hey, I was wondering when you would be back"
"You did not have to stay up for me. You could have gone to sleep in my room"
"No. Carly took Morgan back home. Jax moved and into the hotel. Josslyn was asleep and I did not think it would be right to wake her. So Carly will be here early tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Josslyn still asleep"
"Yep. Sorry for volunteering you to babysit her. I don't even live here" Sam laughed.
"No it is fine. You are good with her—a baby in your arms suits you" Jason smiled
"So how did your mysterious hospital visit go" Sam said trying to get herself to stand up
Jason instead came over to the couch and motioned for her to stay where she was "I will tell you later. You should get some sleep"
"Do you think you could get Max or Milo to drive me home?"
"Just stay here tonight, it is quiet down here"
"No, its better if I just go home and get some sleep. I am sorry to leave you with Josslyn"
"Well Carly is my friend, so I am inclined to clean up after her. I wish you would just stay but, I do not want to make you. I think Milo is free, I'll give him a call"
"Thanks Jason" Jason got Milo to drive Sam home and make sure she got into her apartment. After Sam left, Jason cleaned up Carly's stuff and went to bed easily. Carly picked up Josslyn and her stuff at 6:30 a.m. and Jason called Johnny to give him the boot.
Sam ran into Elizabeth at Kelly's and had an uncomfortable discussion about how Sam was able to get Jason back and how she was forgiven for all the horrible mistakes she made. Sam gave Liz advice but Liz did not take it as Sam thought she would. Afterward she went to Jason's like she promised and found her little sister talking to Jason
"What's going on" Sam asked walking into the Penthouse
"Jason was just helping me understand my dad better"
"I'm not sure if I was any help" Jason stood up a bit uncomfortable with two Davis girls in the room
"No, you did. I think I am beginning to see why my father does the things he does now" Kristina replied
"Do you want me to drive you home?" Sam asked
"No, I need to walk. Fresh air will help clear my head"
"Okay. Call if you need anything" Sam said
"Yep. Thanks Jason"
Sam and Jason cuddled next to each other the couch and began talking about his conversation with Kristina. Then Sam began saying how Jason would make a really great father. A moment of silence came over them but quickly ended due to a knock at the door. Jason jumped at the chance to open it as Sam made a 'how stupid did that sound' face
"Ja" Sam stopped realizing she would have to explain the Liz conversation
Jason looked at Sam, but she looked down so he opened the door. Maxie came in with some sauna crap.
"I'm going to let you be in charge of this. Sam, can you figure out what she wants. And, whatever, bye" Jason said leaving
Maxie/Sam
"What's wrong with you?" Maxie said coming over to Sam
"I just said something stupid to Jason and I am thinking part of the reason he left was because of me not you"
"Well I am here, tell me what happened and then we can discuss the sauna"
"Well I will start from earlier today…Elizabeth was at Kelly's today the same time I was and she started this weird conversation on how I got Jason back after all the horrible things I had done"
"What a bitch"
"Well, she is hurting and I could see that she was upset. She brought up Ric and Jake getting kidnapped and stuff. And then"
"There is more. Boy, I would like to give her a piece of my mind"
"Just wait. She wanted to know how I got people to forgive me. She said that Jason and I are better than ever and she wanted to know how she and Lucky could get the same way"
"Well, what did you tell her?"
"I told her I gained self respect and gradually made amends with people. I also said that Jason and I getting a second chance was not what I was hoping to gain—it just somehow happened."
"That is good advice. Did you also tell her you never claimed to be an angel??"
"Maxie. That stuff is in the past. So tell me about the sauna"
"Okay. GREAT, so you think it is a good idea too?"
"Never said that, just tell me about so I can give Jason your case"
"He said that you were in charge of it. So he basically gave you all the power"
"Yeah, but I do not live here"
"Could have fooled me" Maxie said.
Sam listened to Maxie go on and on about random things as she read a magazine and thought of all the ways she could explain and pretend what she said never happened to Jason. Meanwhile Jason was trying to get through to Lucky after his verbal abuse to Elizabeth. Jason came back to the Penthouse an hour later after leaving the first time to Sam flipping through the Sam magazine as earlier.
Jason/Sam
"I really hope you consider this sauna thing, because Maxie spent a half hour measuring things"
"Why don't I just give this place to Maxie"
"What going on with you?" Sam asked
Jason explained how he comforted Elizabeth just as Lucky walked by and how he said all this stuff about her jumping from one man's arms to the next. Sam sat quietly and listened intently until Jason said "The way he talked to Elizabeth was so cold"
At that minute Sam stood up "Jason I know you want to talk about this, but I have to go" Sam grabbed her coat and reached for the door handle but was stopped by Jason's arm.
"Are you okay"
"Yeah. I, I just thought about something I have to get done right now" when Sam really just wanted to avoid the fact that Jason was judging Lucky after he did the same thing to her once upon a time.
"No, I do not think that is the case. Did I say something?" Jason asked still gripping her arm
"Jason, let go. I do really have to go. I remember I left something plugged in at my house. It could set the apartment on fire"
"Sam you are the most aware person to details I know, and you have to be due to your work. I know and you know that you are lying"
"I can make a mistake once or twice."
"Sam, I'm sorry"
"Why?"
"I never would intentionally hurt you. I was angry and upset"
"You mean the same way Lucky is?" Sam said realizing Jason and her were thinking of the time Jason was cold to her
"Yeah"
"I feel that he deserves some bit of anger. Everyone at least deserves to do it once"
"I did it more than once" Jason said holding both of her hands in his. "I am just really thankful for having you in my life. After all we have been through, I am just happy that you are in my life. You keep me grounded and you are there for me, whether I know it or not."
"I feel the same way. You keep me grounded too. So before I tell you about the sauna, I just want to apologize. I did not mean to flake out on you just now. I wanted to go and see Lucky. We were able to help each other before, maybe I could help him now. It is obvious Elizabeth is hurting, I saw it firsthand earlier. He just need someone to hear him out with no judgment…someone who self destructed too, and how much of a bad idea it is."
"I think you could help him…but after talking about this to you I think he needs to do this himself. Just like you did…you found your way back to reality and are better than ever in every way" He said leaning into kiss her
"Okay, now the sauna talk."
"Sam, please tell me you are not serious."
"Just think how good it would be for all the muscle strains I get from working. Like how we dangle off of buildings or crawling through air ducks"
"So this would be for your job?"
"Yes, yours too"
"Mine? You really think it is fun to sit in a hot room with no windows"
"Well just imagine: a steamy room, no windows, quietness, just enough room and you and me wearing towels...or less. Now I don't know about you but that sounds pretty great to me"
"Now, that I think about it, that could be fun."
"Oh yeah" Jason pulled Sam in for a kiss and then it became intense, only for Sam to interrupt it "You know, we don't have to wait for the Sauna!"
Jason kissed her and picked her up in one full-swoop. Jason gently placed Sam on the edge of the bed, as he placed small kisses on her neck, she unbuckled his pants. "I have missed this" Sam said in between Jason's assault on her lips. He slid her back onto the bed and then towered on top. They were this close to being one until they heard Morgan pounding on the door as if someone was dying—which in their case could be possible. "ARGH" Sam noised
"Oh, come on. Morgan needs us" Jason said putting his shirt back on.
"I love you, but these interruptions need to stop"
"Well if we did not have the interruptions then when we are completely alone—it would not be as much fun."
Sam kissed him real quick and then they ran down the stairs.
"We think Michael is in trouble" Molly said
"Why"
"Well we were worried he is going to confess to killing Claudia." Morgan replied
"Why is that" Sam asked
"We were on my computer looking at the charges against Uncle Sonny, when Michael came in. We reluctantly told him and he started talking about how Uncle Sonny should not be going to jail for what he did and then he left"
"Can't you do something Uncle Jason?" Morgan cried
"Sam, if I go down to the police station…"
"Yeah, I'm on it. This is the type of Emergency for why I keep parking tickets in the glove compartment."
"Wait, aren't parking tickets bad" Molly inquired
"Well, I do not recommend them but, if I park in a loading zone for 15 minutes I get a parking ticket ensuing me a legitimate excuse to show up at the PD"
"That is so cool" Morgan said
"No, Not cool" Sam said
"Do not get any ideas" Jason said
"I'll be back soon." Sam rubbing Jason's chest
"Okay." Jason said
Michael/Sam Car Ride
"I am not going to yell at you, because I have no right. But can you explain to me what you were thinking"
"If it helps Jason understand, yeah"
"I'll do my best"
"I confessed to Mac, I told him every little detail. But he just said I was covering for my dad"
"Okay. So he did not believe you—that is good, but you raised some suspicion on your father"
"Things will work. I have an idea"
"This is where I will have to stop you. Leave this up to the adults. Your mom and I gave statements and Dante said he shot himself. Please do not try anything. Better yet, if you feel the urge—call me. I know talking to Jason is hard sometimes—but it is my job to hear both sides. I am here if you need me"
"Thanks, Sam. That means a lot."
Sam smiled as she pulled into the Penthouse parking garage. In the elevator up, they talked about boats and how diving would have to wait till April. Reaching the door, Sam told him to take a deep breath. When they go inside, Molly and Morgan swore to keep everything a secret and for Michael to keep his mouth shut too.
After the kids left Jason sprawled out on the couch, Sam walked over to him, but was stopped by a knock at the door. Jason sat up.
"Samantha McCall, we are here to take you into questioning." Said a police officer
"Umm" Sam said "I said I was going to come back with my checkbook"
"Commissioner wants to question you"
"So I did nothing wrong? Meaning I do not have to go now"
"We could arrest you, if you do not cooperate."
"Sam, I will call Diane."
"Okay"."
Meet you there then" Sam chuckled realizing she usually said that to him when he was taken in
Everything that happened on the 2/12 and 2/15 and 2/16 will stay the same as it happened on GH. I am picking up from the morning after.
"Good Morning" Jason said
"No, not morning. I want to stay in bed all day. Do you have work?"
"Not till later"
"Good" Sam said snuggling closer to Jason "Thank you"
"For what?"
"Last night. Although there was a lot of pink…the only thing in mind was that I was glad to share it with you. Plus it was a whole lot better than last years"
"It was great. Worth the wait. What happened last year?"
"The hospital poison outbreak. I think I was dangling off a roof or shooting you."
"Oh, that."
"I really didn't mean to shoot you"
"It is fine. And you are right, last night sure beat last years!" Jason said smiling
"I wonder what it looks like downstairs" Sam smiled
"Well we better fix it up before Maxie comes over." Jason complained at the thought of having to deal with her antics
"I can do that. We should probably wash some of the stuff, before we put it away"
"Away? Why don't we just throw it out?"
"Jason, we can use it again"
"Or buy new stuff"
"I am a girl who had nothing growing up, please let me just keep it. I can store it at my place"
"Fine. But you have to carry those boxes out"
"Thanks Jason, way to man up" Sam said as Jason kissed her passionately. They had another great time and Jason went to get breakfast as Sam got ready. Thankfully she had some clothes at Jason's, or she would somehow run into her sisters, giving them thoughts of her and Jason being together.
"I will clean up the stuff, and then I have to work tonight into later on this week. So see you whenever I guess" Sam said kissing Jason as he left for work
Sam/Maxie
"Why are you here?" Sam asked Maxie
"Spinelli and I are meeting here and then going to go back to his place for dinner. He said you are working tonight so we will not interrupt you and Jason. Speaking of you and Jason…how was last night"
Sam smiled "It was perfect, despite the interruption from my sisters." Sam explained what happened and said she would not see Jason till the end of the week because of work. "The penthouse is yours and Spinelli's. I will most likely be sleeping in my car or in some motel. So I gave Jason the go ahead to stay at my place, in case you guys are…loud"
Jason/Alexis
Jason opened the door to Sam's apartment as Alexis banged on it
"Oh Jason, is Sam here?"
"No, she is working pretty much all this week. I think she is taking calls though"
"Okay, my I ask why you are here?"
"Sam said I could stay here when Spinelli and Maxie take over my place"
"I see, as long as Sam knows"
"I am not planning on snooping or taking anything"
"I was not implying that"
"Okay, never mind. Do you want me to leave a note with Spinelli?"
"No. Spinelli is probably busy planning Sam's fake P.I dinner"
"Excuse me"
"She did not tell you? Big mouth me. I should get going" Alexis said vacating Sam's apartment before Jason could stop her. Jason immediately called Sam
"Hey, I am glad to hear from someone familiar. This case is drowning me" Sam said when she saw Jason's number on her phone
"Fake P.I dinner" was all Jason said
Sam explained it was Maxie's doing and she found out a week or two later. She said she wanted to tell him but all the Sonny mess, she forgot about it completely. Jason said it was no big deal and if she wanted to go on a date, he would have gone
"I am really sorry"
"It is fine Sam, this is Maxie's doing"
"So, I am at this motel about ten minutes out of town, do you want to visit me?"
"Won't I blow your cover?"
"Yeah, but I miss you. I have not even talked to you in two day's"
"You will be back tomorrow, right?
"Yeah."
"Why don't we just talk. Can you tell me what is going on?"
"Of course, maybe your input might help. I love you Jason"
"Love you too, Sam" Jason said. They talked about the case for about an hour.
Sam came back the next day and was able to meet with her client and tell him the good news. After that, she needed to sleep for a while and went back to her apartment; it was about 6:00 p.m. She walked in, knowing Jason had stayed there, she thought about how great he was by putting everything back. She turned around to lock the door and heard a voice. She went to grab for her gun. "Sam, it is just me. What is with all the locking" Jason said walking toward her
"Franco" She said wincing
"Oh, I am sorry, did not mean to scare you, I was actually just leaving, I restocked your fridge. You actually had food in there!"
"I figured you would stay here so I bought I couple more things then I usually do."
"You are great, did you know that"
"I have been told that a few times." Sam said as Jason embraced her in a bear hug.
"How did your case go?"
"Great, everything worked out and the guy said he would spread my name around town"
"That is impressive. So are you doing anything tonight?"
"I was kind of hoping to just pass out early, maybe watch a movie"
"Oh okay. Well I guess I will see you later"
"Why don't you stay—your stuff is already here"
"But you are tired."
"Maybe I can wake myself up for you"
"Okay, I'll stay. But if you fall asleep, do not try and wake up."
"I love you" Sam said as she situated herself for the movie. Sam fell asleep within the first half hour. Jason turned everything off and picked her up to take her to bed. He slid her under the covers and got in himself, framing his body to hers.
"Good night"
Sam woke up to Jason still in her bed, making her smile. She made some coffee and then decided to wake him up. "Morning" she whispered in his ear
"Hey" he whispered back
"So what did you want to talk about" Sam said placing her hand on his chest as she sat next to him.
"what do you mean?"
"Last night, it sounded like you had to tell me something. What's going on?"
"A few days ago I ran into Carly and we talked about Sonny leaving again or if he gets put away."
"Okay." Sam said listening intently
"She asked if I would take over the business" Jason said as Sam pulled he hand back and cracked her knuckles
"What did you tell her?"
"That I would take over"
"I kind of figured that, but did not really want to think about it"
"So, if I do take over. Will it change things between us?"
"You will do what you need to do. I love you regardless. Things will change, but the way I love you and you love me will not"
"I was hoping to hear something like that. There is more though"
"Okay."
"I was this close to losing it on Dante at the Hospital"
"What stopped you"
"My friendship with Sonny, Morgan, Michael, Carly"
"Reasonable. I am glad you didn't. With all this Sonny mess, I could not handle it if you were on trial too"
"I know. I promised Sonny I would stand down. I just hope my mind will stop having a battle"
"When you need my help I will be there…well as much as I can" Sam smiled
"Thanks."
"You should get dressed, I want to do something outside today. Do you still run?"
"I can still run. I do not do it as much as I used to, why?
"Cause I am going on my morning run"
"Morning Run?" Jason questioned
"Well when I am not at your place, I run in the morning. And when I wake up with you at the penthouse, I run at night"
"You do realize that is not safe."
"Well, Lucky used to run with me, and then when we broke up, I would go to the gym, but it is not the same. But since Mark has been in town, we run at night now"
"I can run with you"
"You think you can keep up Morgan?" Sam played
"yeah. I can beat you"
"We will see about that"
After Jason got dressed they went out on a run, Believe it or not, Sam beat Jason. "Maybe you should just stick to working those arms." She laughed. They went to their separate homes and off to work
"So Sonny called a little bit ago" Jason said walking into Sam's office
"What is going on, you seem weird?"
"Well him and Diane are still fighting and Alexis is joining the defense"
"Well I guess she went ahead with it" Sam mumbled
"What was that"
"Alexis told me two weeks ago she was considering helping Sonny out for Kristina's sake"
"Hmmm. Well he also said I must keep Michael out of the courtroom, any ideas that kid is headstrong?"
"Actually, I do" Sam smiled and then made a phone call"
Phone Call
"Hey, how is everything going?"
"McCall, you are missing out"
"Well actually I may not be missing out."
"What does that mean?"
"I need your help. Do you remember Renna?"
"Yeah. That darn women calls me every year to go out" Mark said making Sam laugh and Jason stare. She just winked to tell him everything is fine
"Okay, well do you think you could call and ask for Riley to meet me at my office tomorrow?"
"The girl? I will call, but can I ask why?"
"You find out soon enough"
"Do you need a boat? I know some people"
"No. Got that part handled from Jason"
"Right. I'll call. What time?"
"One second…Jason what time does it start?"
"11:30" He said still confused
"How about 10 and bring all possible gear" Sam said and then hung up
"You are not going to tell me what that was about are you?" Jason asked as he sat at Spinelli's desk
"Just meet me here tomorrow at 11:00 with Michael. I have it handled"
"Would if Riley does not show up?"
"No worries, I am due for a favor from Renna"
"Yeah, okay. So there is a new prosecutor for Sonny's case"
"That sounds bad" Sam said sitting on Spinelli's desk in front of Jason
"Yeah. But Diane is good and worst comes to worst I will make Sonny leave the country"
"Okay. If you need my help let me know"
"Thanks. What are you working on today?"
"Cheating Spouse Case—seems to be my forte!"
"Sounds fun"
"Not really. Staking out the Metro Court again. Too bad my Frank won't be there" she said making a sad face
"Frank?" He questioned and then realized how she covered up at the hotel the day of the carnival "Who said he couldn't?"
"You want to come? Come and help me?"
"I wish I could but. I have to work. Next time?"
"Sure" Sam said as Jason stood up kissed her on the forehead and started to leave "wait, do not forget about tomorrow?" He smiled and left
Next day…
"Sam, you here?"
"Yeah, just getting changed. Thanks for coming"
"No problem. My mom says hi and wants to know if you could get Mark to go out with her" She laughed
"Ha, I will work on that. So do you have your stuff?"
"Yep. So why do you need my help..."
"Mark was teaching my friends nephew to dive but he got sent on a salvage mission and I need someone to help me teach."
"Awesome, I have only dived here a couple of times. So it would be nice to go out again"
"Who is this kid?"
"He is 18, and knows the basics, loves boats and wants to learn how to surf"
"Cool. He cute?"
"If I was 19 I would want to date him" Sam laughed
"Well it is a good thing I am 19. Should I get suited up?"
"You can wait a while, but there is a room back there when you are ready. Sam sat at her desk finishing up work in sweats and her bikini top as Riley fiddled around in her bikini with shorts, a long sleeve white t shirt and her long blond hair up in a baseball hat. She purposefully hid her beauty until later, because Sam wanted to make sure he would stay. Sam also explained a few things about him and his dad without scaring her.
"Sam, my mom and dad are con-artists and have run in a rough crowd. I have seen stuff"
"Okay, I just though you should know"
"I am like the blond version of you with a little more surfer chick" Riley said as Sam laughed.
Michael came through the door as Sam's back was turned from him. "Sa, Uh," he said but know recognizable words came out. Jason walked in after and tripped over a stunned Michael. Jason looked up to see Sam, looking amazing and his words almost got caught too
"Sam, you ready?" Jason stuttered
"Yeah, let me grab my bag and my" she looked down "shirt"
"Hi, my name is Riley. I guess I am hanging with you dudes and Sam today. You must be Michael" She said extending her hand
"Yeah. Nice to meet you. This is my Uncle Jason, we are using one of his boats"
"Cool, so does that mean Jason is going to jump in as well. Cause you may want to lose the leather" She said making Michael laugh but hide it
"Jason, is not a fan of diving" Sam said grabbing her gear and the stuff Mark left behind for Michael "We ready"
Everyone boarded Jason's boat and Sam got the engine running as Jason and Michael waited to be instructed what to do. "So, what do you think of Riley" Jason asked
"She seems cool. She is like Sam but not as hot" Michael said and regretted the last words as Jason looked like he wanted to give him a beat down.
"Yeah. Be careful what you say about women. Riley seems like a great girl, not stuck up like the girls at your school"
"I suppose"
"Suppose what" Sam said half dressed in her wet suit
"That I should figure out what I should be doing" Michael covered
"Well we are out of the harbor and I will be anchoring in about 5 minutes in the meantime here is you gear you can go get changed downstairs"
"Thanks" he said and then left Sam and Jason alone
"I have not seen you on a boat in such a long time, you look happy" Jason said pulling her onto his lap
"I love the water. That was the best part of piloting ships for Karpov and Zacharra was being able to be out on the water. I did not realize how much I missed it till recently"
"You should take the boat whenever you want."
"Thanks. I do like to sail alone but it is even better to sail with someone else. Would if we go out late in the day and have a date we can come back in the morning or something"
"I would like that" he responded
"Me too" she kissed him
"Sam, is Michael ready?" Riley said coming out dressed as Sam with her long hair blowing the breeze
Jason whispered to Sam "You are smart." Sam just smiled back
Michael came out dressed fully and immediately stared pass Sam to a blond in a wet suit and a bikini top. "Who is that" he asked blankly to Sam
"Riley" Jason answered
"No way. Wait yes way" He said as she turned around "You are awesome Sam" making his way over to Riley as they talked about teen stuff, Sam opened the hatch and Jason stood watching her.
"You just going to stand there?" She asked
"What do you need me to do?"
"Come in with us"
"I do not have stuff"
"That is why I snuck into Mark's room and stole a suit."
"We are not the same build"
"Actually you are. You need muscles to do Salvage work"
"Okay, truth is I would just rather watch you do it. I will stay here dry and clothed in case of emergency"
"Fine. But just for today, you will go out there with me one day. Even if it is just swimming"
"We will see".
Michael, Sam and Riley did basic diving and then Sam and Riley did full on experienced stuff and the guys were stunned that two girls could do something that needed brawn and make it look like nothing. Jason brought food from Kelly's on board and Michael and Riley ate above deck as Sam and Jason went higher to the wheel.
"This is life" Sam said looking out onto the horizon as Jason laid on the couch behind the wheel.
"Yeah. Thanks for today"
"I think they had fun" looking down at the two playing around and joking
"I was referring to you helping me get my mind off of everything."
Sam docked the boat, where Renna picked up Riley and Max drove Michael home. Sam and Jason stayed on the boat on the upper deck and then when they got tired they went to captains corridors. They were lying on the bed and talking about random things other than family and troubles, mostly adventures.
"There was this on time I was docked in Sicily. The people were not as hot-headed as people say. This family let me stay a night for dinner and a normal bed, they showed me around the city. I loved it" Sam said
"Sounds like fun"
"You know what else is fun?"
"What's that?"
"Being in your arms!"
The entire night Jason held Sam and they just slept, content in being with each other in that special moment.
Sam/Lucky/Jason
Sam was back at her apartment when she got a call from Spinelli about a case she just started. She was walking past the Haunted Star when she ran into Lucky. "Hope you stopped drinking?"
"Yes, going to AA meetings and dumping all the liquor I own."
"Good for you"
"So what are you up to?"
"Nothing, that you think is about Sonny. Going to meet Spinelli about a case, but I have time if you want to unload what seems to be bothering you"
"You know me too well" he said making Sam laugh
"Well I have the keys to the Haunted Star and we are right here. You want to hear about my twisted life?"
"I have had a few of those twisted moments myself. Maybe I can help" Sam said as she walked into the Star. "So what is on your mind"
"Elizabeth"
"Oh her sleeping with my cousin? Must be tough to go through that again"
"Well this time it is my brother and it has been happening for months. And I am sure Jason told you all about the pregnancy and how messed up this is"
"Actually he didn't" Sam said scratching his head
"Yeah, I told him before Sonny's first arraignment. We are not sure who the father is, but I am banking on my brother, since they had sex all over that freaking house of his"
"Oh" Sam said still stunned that Jason did not tell her something that huge
"You are probably thinking, that I want the baby"
"So you don't?"
"I would love a child of my own, but having one with Elizabeth just feels wrong. She cheated on me twice. My brother and your boyfriend! Sorry, bad memories for you"
"No, it is fine. We have gotten past that."
"That's good. You seem really happy with him. You complete each other. That is what I thought about me and Liz, but that was just false hope of when we were teens"
"Jason and I have worked past the bad. We are finally in a place that, I do not feel like my world will crash down. I have more independence. Maybe you wanted things to be like before, you did not really see how much you both had actually changed. I cannot defend Elizabeth's choices, but maybe she just realized she could not live in the past."
"I see what you are saying. Thanks for the chat. Do you mind if we keep in touch more—I like having you as a friend."
Lucky walked Sam to her office and before leaving gave her a hug, that Jason happened to stumble across. "I would like to do this again."
"Great" he said leaving.
Sam walked into her building and started to unlock her office door, when she was grabbed from behind.
"Hey" She said turning around to Jason who kissed her. She opened the door and found that Spinelli was not there but a note:
Fair Samantha, my lead was incorrect. I need to re-fuel—I will be at Kelly's and am taking the rest of the day off. A day off for you may be wise after working all this week.
"What did he have to say" Jason asked sitting in Sam's chair
"He is taking the day off, and said I should too"
"So are you going to?"
"No, I want to finish everything up so I can go out with Mark this weekend."
"Oh he is coming back?" raising his eyebrows
"Yeah, he needs supplies and has to report back to Jax. He offered to teach me some new diving techniques. So I am pretty excited."
"Oh that is good" Jason said disappointed. Sam could tell, but she was upset that he did not tell her about Elizabeth being pregnant. "I was hoping you could actually help me"
"I am sorry, but I cannot."
"Yeah. Do I tell you enough that I am glad you are back in my life?"
"Yeah, but it is nice to keep hearing it"
He whispered "I am glad you are back in my life, I am glad you are back in my life, will you please help me, I am glad you are back in my life"
"Funny, but I really do need to finish because I am really excited to be diving again"
"I understand. Hopefully, I can use Spinelli, even though he took the day off"
"Fine. Lay on the guilt trip. I can come over later."
"Sounds good" he kissed her and left to go see Sonny
Kelly's
Sam walked into Kelly's and noticed her sister flirting it up with Ethan. She walked past and said hi and then went to get a cup of coffee while eves dropping. When Kristina left, Sam walked over to Ethan and told him that he was leading her sister on. "She is young, and girls her age do this"
"I understand and I mean no harm"
"Just watch what you say to her and how much time you spend together."
"I just was being a friend for her with her troubles with Keifer and her dad."
"I understand. Just be careful" Sam said and walked away to order finish her coffee. Kristina came in and Ethan left her in the dust.
"What did you say" Kristina berated Sam
"I did not say anything he already did not know"
"You ruined something good in my life. I do not think I can forgive you for this" She said and walked away childishly. Sam looked stunned and went back to her coffee
Penthouse
"I am here. What do you need?"
"Are you okay" Jason said coming out of the kitchen looking stressed by his own news.
"No. Everything is fine"
"It does not seem fine. You always listen to my problems, let me help you"
"We can talk about it later. What do you need my help with"
"I understand. So you will tell me what is bothering you later?"
"I will tell you now, if you stop asking if I am okay" Jason nodded and Sam continued "Kristina and hanging around Ethan, she has a major and obvious crush on him and he just lets it happen. He has not put her in her place and backed off. It is almost if he likes the attention, because she is probably the only one that does not see him as a scumbag."
"Scumbag?" Jason laughed
"Yes a scumbag. And, I do not know…He just should not be letting a teenager hang all over him"
"Maybe you sister likes the danger that lurks"
"Are you trying to compare me and her?"
"Well not really because I hope you do not think I am a scumbag"
"No, you are definitely not a scumbag. When your hair was long there were scumbag looking qualities"
"Thanks Sam"
"Jason, you know what I mean. So yeah she probably likes the danger, but she does need to flaunt herself all over him. It is gross"
"Why don't you just look out for her, ignore her words and just be the big sister you are. Feeling any better"
"Yeah, I just needed to vent. I am all yours…with whatever you need help with"
"I need to find a way to get Sonny out of the country, I have Spinelli working on stuff, but I would like your input"
"Aww, sweet of you to realize I am not just a pretty face and breakable"
"Anytime. So any ideas"
"Well, they are going to be monitoring all flights because they think he will go to South America. Why don't we flip the switch?"
"What are you thinking?"
"Mark is going to hate me for a while, but I am sure I can make it up to him some way. You know how we were supposed to go out this weekend for a diving/boating excursion? Maybe if we used his boat, the police will not even think of checking. I mean we could go some place crowded and out of satellite"
"I do not know Sam"
"If you are worried about me and Mark, you do not have to be. Sonny will be watching him most likely"
"Let me run the linguistics by Spinelli. Are you going to tell Mark?"
"No, he will find out once I leave"
"Would if he turns around?"
"He would never jeopardize me."
"How are you going to get back? I mean they are going to call you in for questioning"
"Well I am supposed to be back in two days. Mark was going to have one of his friends pick me up and take me back so he would not have to backtrack. He will be long gone—plus no can track his boat"
"That does not sound good"
"What?"
"You boating with someone you do not know?"
"Calm down, I know most of his people. Heck I introduced most of them to him."
"I am hesitant to say yes, but this is his best chance"
"Great. I am going to go get more work done."
"Want help?"
"Nah, you deal with prepping Sonny"
"Wait Sam"
"Yeah" She turned around
"Thanks. You have been great these past few weeks. I just wish there was something I could do for you"
"Be there for me when the time comes." She smiled and left
Interception
Jason drove up to the spot that they planned and saw Max and Milo waiting. After talking with Lucky earlier he hoped this plan would go smoothly.
"Have you seen Sam?" Jason asked the guys
"No, not yet. You worried?"
"No, she is probably just making sure Mark will wait for her"
"So what do you think of Sam going around with this guy" Max asked protectively. Jason glared at him, knowing he should keep quiet
"Hey" Sam said coming up to see Max and Milo standing there "Milo, are you okay" she asked because he was a deer caught in head lights looking at her
"yeah, yes. Of course"
"Okay, just checking. I thought someone was behind me or something." She said. Max laughed
"No, I was just admiring your beauty."
Sam smiled "Well, thank you"
"You are welcome. Spinelli calls you a goddess for a reason. Did I just say that? I meant that you are not hot, well you are but I did not mean it like that. You are more than hot, you, you"
"Down Boy" Max whispered to his brother
Jason walked up behind Sam "What's going on" he asked staring at Milo
"I was, was, what was I?" he stuttered
Sam covered "We were just talking about cars. Like how some are hot and others are not. Apparently my car is hot" She smiled and winked at Max and Milo
"Oh, sorry I asked" Jason said
"She just saved your butt. I suggest you just do not talk" Max said to Milo as Jason took Sam's hand to talk to her privately
"Hey, is everything okay?"
"Yeah, looks like the plan is off. Sorry for the trouble"
"No trouble" Sam smiled
"I should get going then. I will see you in two days"
"Wait. I want you to stay"
"Is there something else with Sonny that you need my help with"
"Well I am worried about Michael. Like how we may need to leave the country with him until this trial is over"
"Well, I can stay if you really need me. Diving can wait." She smiled walking closer to him
"I am sorry for ruining your plans, again"
"Michael is more important. I guess now you owe me a swimming trip"
"If that is what I can make up to you, I would love to go"
"Or love to see me in a swimsuit" she questioned and wrapped her arms around his neck. He pulled her waist in for a hug.
I was pretty uninspired for this chapter, but i think it is okay and goes with the current storyline for the most part. I wish there were more spoilers and medianet pics to go off of.
Sorry if it is a disappointment of a chapter after waiting so long. I will make sure my next chapter is better and I have another story coming that will be complete when I post it, so look out for it :D
