"I don't have anything to say to you Sam. Now get the hell out." Liz sneers at her and goes to open the door.
"Good. Then you can shut up and listen because I have plenty to say." Sam says from her stop in the chair.
"You either get out or I call the cops." Liz smirks at her.
"I don't think you understand, Liz." Sam reaches behind her and pulls out her gun. She makes a show about taking the safety off and attaching the silencer then rests her hand on the arm of the chair. "We are going to talk. You can sit down by yourself or I can make you."
Elizabeth shuts the door. Never taking her eyes off the gun she goes and sits down on the farthest side of the couch away from Sam. "Good girl. Now I know that you and I have never been friends. I mean you decided to fall in love with Jason while we were still together and used the fact that you were pregnant with his baby to reel him in."
"Don't you ever…"
"Shut up! You do not get to talk. I here you interrupt me again and I will uses this." Sam waves the gun around. "Now, as I was saying. You want to think that you didn't use Jake as a way of getting Jason but you did. I mean think about it Liz. It wasn't until after you told Jason that the baby was his that he started to have feelings for you. I'm not denying that he loved you because I know he did. But it was because you were the mother of his child. He didn't fall in love with you out of nowhere. But you sure used that to your advantage. Never letting him be a part of Jake's life. Dangling that little bit of hope in front of him. And Jason being Jason, he fell for it. You were my Maxie. Always around needing to talk to Jason. Even though you knew Jason loved me and we were back together." Sam shakes her head and gives a little laugh.
"You knew that we were friends, Sam. It's not my fault that Jason and I realized it was something more." Liz says in a small voice.
"Friend? When the hell were you two ever friends? You weren't his friend when everyone thought Michael was dead. Or when he lost his memory again. Or when he had yet another brain surgery. You worked in the damn hospital and you couldn't find the time to come and see you 'friend'?" Sam sneers at her. "Don't give me that bullshit line that the two of you were friends. You were only friend when there were problems between me and him. The night of the blackout you were looking for sex. Not a friend. You are just too uptight to say it. And no matter how you try to spin that night, what you did was wrong. But because you are precious to everyone in this town you got away with spreading your legs for the local hitman. Until you decided that you wanted him. Even if it was only for a booty call. And I'll give you credit. You got him. For a while. Until the one time that because you wanted Jason your children suffered for it. You know you are a real piece of work. Jason was good enough to sleep with but not good enough to be a father to your child. What the hell is that?" Sam asks her.
"Jason and I thought it would have been best for OUR son if he was not in his life." Liz made sure to emphasize the our.
"Why?" Sam asks.
"Because Jason's life it too dangerous, Sam. He has people shooting at him none stop. It was safer. Just because you are willing to put your child in danger doesn't mean I am." Liz dug at her.
It was very hard but Sam kelp her cool. Sam looks Liz directly in the eye and says. "But Jake didn't die because of Jason, did he Elizabeth? He died because of you. You turned you back on your children, again, and this time your son paid with his life. So before you go and hand out parenting advice, make sure to take a look at your own skills."
A look of rage came over Liz's face but she caught sight of the gun and just says "You think your miss prefect? You judge me saying that I think I am but you put both of my sons in danger for what? A lesson? And look where that got you. Jason threatening to kill you. He did that for me, Sam. He may have said it was for the kids but it was for me."
Sam laughs and says "You are always going to come back to that, aren't you? Yes, I did those things. And you may not think I paid for them but trust me, I did. More than you can imagine. I had to live with the fact that I caused Jason that pain. I had to live with the fact that I had hit rock bottom so hard that I did those things. But I showed regret, Elizabeth. And I made up for it. I saved your son when you put him in danger for a booty call!" Sam yells. "The only reason that you told Jason the truth about OUR son was because he told you that there was no future for you two. You weren't feeling guilty. You didn't want Jason and I back together and you knew that finding our son would do that. You finally saw that there was no future with you and Jason so you told the truth. I made amends for what I did. You did not. You never apologized to me for what you did to my son. How many times did I say I was sorry, huh Liz? You put my boy in just as much danger as I ever did yours. My son was almost thrown off of the hospital roof because you decided to tell your little lie. The only reason that he wasn't was because his father was there to save him. So you can throw the past in my face just as much as you want Liz. But you have now done something twice as bad as I ever did.
"You were so desperate for Jason that you actually lied to keep him. Away from not just me and Danny but Michael and Monica. Monica has no children left and the one she does, you keep from her. What the hell is that? You think Emily is proud of you right now? You think that if Emily was alive she would want anything to do with you?"
"Don't talk as if you know Emily Sam. You didn't know her at all!" Liz yells at her.
"I know that Emily loved her brother more than anything! I know that she would be disgusted with you! And Nikolas! Who the hell are you to keep my husband away from me?!" Sam yells at her.
"Whether you like it or not Sam, it was me he remembered first. And it was me that he was drawn to. Not you or Danny." Liz smirks at her.
"Because I wasn't there, Elizabeth. I wasn't fawning all over him and making him the center of my world because I was so desperate for someone in my bed that I would have accepted a man with amnesia. You think that you won because he didn't have any memories of me but guess what? He has his memories now and where is he? He sure as hell isn't here. That is why you had him, honey. Because he had no idea who the hell he was. And as soon as her did? He came home." Sam says matter of fact. "I am going to give you one and only one warning. You stay the hell away from my husband and my family. If I find out that you went anywhere near them, I will let Jason deal with you." Sam gets up and goes to the door.
"He forgave you for all the horrible things you did. What makes you so sure that he will not forgive me huh? All he needed was time with you. He got over it. He will get over this and he will forgive me. You and I both know that."
Sam turns around and looks at her and says "There is just one fault in that logic."
"And what is that?" Liz crosses her arms and looks at Sam with a smirk.
"You are not me. If you want to think that he will forgive you so that it helps you sleep at night, then fine. You go right on ahead. But Jason did not forgive me because time past and made the hurt go away. There is still hurt between us. Always will be. Jason forgave me, and I him, because we belong together. Not matter what tries to take us apart, we always find out way back together. And we always will." Sam walks out the door and slams it shut leaving Liz shaking because deep down, she knew Sam was right.
Sonny and Lila just came out of the tenth store they had gone to with what felt like a million more shopping bags. Sam and Sonny agreed last night that he would take her shopping and get her all of the stuff she needed. He understood why Lila needed to live with Sam and Jason and he even agreed with it but he still wanted to be involved in her everyday life. "So, I think that I have all that I need. Probably for the rest of my life." She laughs with her father. They put the bags in the trunk with the others with the help of Max. "Thanks, Max." Lila says.
"No, problem." He smiles at her. They get in the car and Lila says "Thank you again for doing this." Sonny smiles at her and says "Don't ever thank me for being your father. I didn't always cherish that fact but I promise that I do now. That is one of the reasons that I wanted to spend today with you. I want to explain to you who I was then." Lila turns in her seat as much as she can with her seat belt on as does Sonny.
"When your mom and I got together I really thought that me and Carly were over. But when I we found out we still lived each other we decided to make it work. I told you mom and she was fine with it. She never tried to make me stay with her. But then she found out she was pregnant. Because me and Carly decided to make a go of things, Jason stepped in and pretended to be you father. Sam moved into the penthouse with Jason that was right across from mine and Carly's. But as time went on and I saw how much you were growing inside of your mom I realized that I had to be a part of your life. At the time, I dint know that Kristina was mine so I thought you were going to be my first girl. And I couldn't stand the thought of not being in your life. So, I told Carly the truth. We stayed together and Sam stayed living with your dad. Everything was going fine for a while. Until I started to see how close your mom and dad were getting. And I became jealous. Not because I wanted your mom but because he was there for her and you and I wasn't. The person that I was then, I just wasn't going to let anyone take my place in your life. I was you father and no one else.
"I didn't realize that the situation that I was in, I put myself there. I was the one that went back to Carly and the boys. I was the one who told Jason to be there for you and your mom. But because I felt threatened by his place in your life, I acted like an ass. To your mom and to your dad. And when I found out about Kristina I was shocked. The only reason that Alexis told me was because she was sick and she needed a stem cell transplant. Alexis wanted me to ask your mom if she would induce her labor so that you could be tested. But when Sam found out there was a risk to you, she said she wouldn't. And I was fine with that. I didn't want to risk your life when I already had one daughter sick. Alexis was desperate and she went to your mom to beg her to induce you. Things got heated and your mom collapsed. We all thought that it was from the fight with Alexis but it turned out your mom had an abruption placentae. It caused her to go into labor. The next thing I knew Carly was coming to tell me that you were no longer alive." Sonny says with tears in his eyes.
Lila reaches out and puts her hand on his. "I'm ok. I know you guys grieved for me but I am here now. Everything is going to be ok."
Sonny takes her hand and kisses the back of it. "I am so sorry for the way that I treated you mom and you. Neither one of you deserved what I did to you, and I am sorry. But I promise you that I am not the same man. I was not a good person then. And some could say that I am not now but I am going to do everything in my power to prove them wrong. I know that you have heard what I do for a living but as of tomorrow, I will not be in that line of work anymore. I finalize everything then I am done. I am going to make sure that nothing ever happened to you again. I promise."
Sam walks into the house with Danny on her arms and her husband following behind her. "Did you have fun with daddy today?" She asks her son.
"Yeah. We went to go and see grandma and Mickey. Then aunt Carly and Joss."
"Wow. It sounds like you had a busy day, huh?" she puts him down.
"Can I go and play with my cycles now?" he asks his parents.
"Sure, baby." He runs to the down stairs playroom. Jason and Sam walk into the family room right across the way form the playroom and sit down to watch their son play. "So. Who's it go?" Jason asks his wife as he pulls her into his arms.
"I don't know if I go through to her but I hope I did. I really don't want to have to have you handle her."
"I talked to Monica today and she said that she is just days away from being fired. She told the chief of staff about when she switched Danny's DNA results and Obrecht is just dying to fire her. That right there will also help Lucky get the boys." Sam looks up at her husband.
"Are you sure you are ok with all of this? I mean she is Jake's mom…"
"That stopped mattering when she did this. She does not get to hide behind the fact that we shared a son anymore. She kept me from my family. For no reason at all. She will pay."
Sam decides to change the subject and ask "Have you thought about what you want to do now that you are not going to be working for Sonny?"
He sighs and says "Yeah but I haven't found a viable option. It's not like I can go back to school to become a doctor and I do not want to work behind a desk at ELQ. And I don't know of anyone who is going to hire a former hitman."
Sam straightens up and looks at him. "Well I might have something." Jason looks at his wife. "My dad called today. With him getting out of the business and focusing on the paper, he had the garage that he doesn't know what to do with. He doesn't know the first thing about fixing them and when my mom told him that I did, he offered it to me and you." Jason remembers working at the bike shop he owned. He loved it he didn't know why he didn't rebuild after it burned down. "We could own our own business if you want." Sam tells him.
"Are you sure you would be happy doing that?" he asks her.
"Are you kidding? You know how much I like to tinker on cars and I could still take on a few cases when I wanted to. It would be perfect. But would you be happy?"
"Yeah. I loved owning the bike shop. It was something I was good at and loved to do." "So? What do you say?" "I say you go yourself a deal…partner." Jason puts his hand out for her to shake. She laughs and shakes his hand. She lets out a little squeal when he pulls on her hand and the fall onto the couch with her on top of him.
