A few days later Jason and Sam were at the garage. They were able to get everything in order in just a little time and today was the grand opening of Morgan's Shop. Sam took care of everything in the office and she occasionally worked on the cars as well. They had only opened today but the shop was doing pretty well. Danny was spending the day at Lila's Kids and Lila was with Kristina and Molly. Sam had already made arrangements for Lila to start her junior year in high school. She was extremely smart considering she never actually went to school. But she said she had a tutor who was really nice and helped her a lot. So much she was able to skip her sophomore year all together and go straight to being a junior. She would be in the same grade as Molly which made both her and Molly happy.
Her dad had stopped by earlier to see how everything was going. Wanted to make sure she had everything she needed for the shop. He talked with Jason for a while as well. Every time she saw her dad being fatherly it made her chest hurt a little. He never got the chance to raise her or Lucas and he won't get the chance to raise his baby now either. She still felt guilty about what happened. If the roles were reversed she would not want anyone to feel guilty but she just couldn't help it. Her dad also stopped by to let her know that he was going to be proposing to her mom tonight. She was so excited for them. He had made peace with Molly and got along with Krissy really well. They were both happy that he made their mom happy. Aside from Nikolas and Elizabeth, everything was pretty perfect. They had heard from Monica that she had officially lost her job yesterday and her licenses to be a nurse was suspended for a year. Sam noticed that every time their names were brought up in a conversation Jason would get tense. He was not entirely happy with the way that Sam decided she wanted to handle Elizabeth.
*Flashback*
"Sam, she needs to pay! You are letting her off way too easy." He exclaims after his wife tells him how she wants to handle the situation.
"She is paying, Jason. Not she isn't going to jail but this is better. She has lost you, her boys and Lucky. Hell, ever Ric is refusing to be her lawyer to help her get the boys back. She is losing her job any day now. She will have nothing. And then she will have to watch as we live the rest of our lives happy, together and in love. The really is no better revenge that that. She loved to rub my face in the fact that both you and Lucky were in love with her. Yeah, Lucky and I were together but everyone knew that if she wanted him back, he would go crawling on his hands and knees. And you were so screwed in the head about your love for your son and thinking you loved her that you would have been her lab dog."
Jason glares at his wife but does not say anything because he knows she is right. And he hated it. "This time? She gets to watch me, and while Lucky may not love me nor I him, he sure as hell is on our side and is done with her. And you," she says walking over to him, putting her arms around his middle, "are in love with me. Not her. You chose me more than once. I want her to see that she is never going to come between us again. No matter how hard she tries."
*End Flashback*
Jason came around and gave in but only with the exception that is she tried to harm anyone, which he really wouldn't put past her, he got to intervene and do it his way. Sam was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't feel the very person she was thinking about come up behind her and wrap her in his arms. She smiled as she felt him press a kiss to the side of her neck. "What are you thinking about?" he asks her.
"How perfect our lives are right now. Aside from 2 people that the things they have done." Jason turns her around in his arms and say "In a few months they 2 people will be dealt with and then our lives will be perfect, period." He leans down and kisses her.
It starts to get heated when they hear "Hey! Is this a garage or a brothel?" Lucky says as he walks in.
Sam laughs but Jason give him a look that only a guy would understand. He was going to pay for interrupting him and his wife. Lucky just laughs and shakes his head. "What are you doing here? Car trouble?" Sam asks, jokingly.
"No. I just wanted to stop by and…"
"Don't lie. What's up, man?" Jason asks him.
"Well I was wondering if you guys needed and help in the office?" he asks.
"I thought that you got your job…" Sam starts to say
"It's not for me. It's for a friend of mine." "Friend?" Jason asks. "Yeah. She is looking for a job and I thought of this one."
"She?" Sam and Jason asks at the same time.
"Yes. She. So do you need an extra set of hands?"
"Yeah actually. When Lila starts school in the fall I will need all the help I can get."
"Great!" Lucky says. "So I can tell her to here for the interview…when?" he asks.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no. You are not getting that until you tell us who it is." Sam says.
Lucky sighs and looks at Jason for help. He just smiles and crosses his arms and waits. "Fine. It's Hayden."
"I knew it!" Sam says smiling.
"She has decided to stick around town and she needs a job." Lucky says narrowing his eyes at Sam.
"Since when are you and Hayden fiends?" Jason asks him.
"Since a while now. She not so bad once you get to know her." He says with a small smile. Jason and Sam share a look before turning their eyes to Lucky. Lucky looks up ad notices the look in his friends' eyes and says "Shut up. Will you interview her or not?"
They laugh at him and Sam says "Yes. Tell her to be here at 8 am tomorrow and I will give her a test run. See how she does."
Lucky smiles and goes to kiss give Sam a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you!"
"Hey! Hands off the wife." Jason tells him. He laughs at Jason before he turns serious and asks
"I'm not asking for details but have you two decided what you are going to do about…" he trails off, knowing they understand him. Husband and wife both shake their heads yes. Lucky nods his head back and say "Ok. Well I should get going. I'll go tell Hayden the good news. Thank you both again. He says as he waves at them and leaves the garage. A part of him sad because he knows that two people he once loved are going to be hurt in some way. A part of him relieved because they both need it in the worst way.
Lila, Kristina and Molly walk into Kelly's after spending the morning shopping. "Do you like the stuff you guys got?" Kristina asks as they sit down at a table.
"Yeah," Lila smiles at her, "I got a new bathing suit and I can't wait to try it one and go swimming. It was really hot today."
"Yeah, it was. What do you say that after we eat we go back to Jason and Sam's place and go swimming? That sound much better than going to the spa." Molly says.
"Absolutely." Kristina and Lila agree. They get their orders and as they are eating Krissy asks Lila "Are you nervous about going to a public school this year?"
Lila looks at her and says "Yeah. But I'm also excited. I have always wanted to know what it would be like."
The three girls were so engrossed in their conversation that they did not see the new customer come in. Liz looks around and her eyes fall onto the table with them. She recognizes Kristina and Molly. And she also knows who the third one is. She heard the rumors. This was Sam and Sonny's daughter. The bastard child that Sam was trying to pass off as Jason's.
Lila takes notice of the woman glaring at her and she asks Kristina "Who is that?" Krissy turns around and sees Liz. "Stay here. Both of you." she says as she gets up and heads over to Liz. "Turn around and leave. Now." Kristina says.
Liz looks at her and smirks "You don't own Kelly's Kristina. I can come here if I want."
"Do you really want to make more trouble for yourself?" Krissy asks her.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Liz says.
"Don't play dumb with me. Leave now before I call Sam."
"And tell her what? I'm having lunch? Just because Sam's bastard child is back…"
Kristina go right up in her face. "Don't. You finish that sentence and I will kick your ass right here and now. You have no right to call anyone a name considering you are in the position you are with your kids. You know, the ones you will never see again because you were so desperate to have a man in your bed?"
Liz reaches her arm back to smack her but is stopped when a hand grabs her arm. "I wouldn't do that, love."
"Ethan?" Kristina gasps.
