Jason, Lila and Danny were outside putting the finishing touches on Emily's birthday party. Today was his baby girls first birthday. So much had happened in the past year starting with his daughter's birth. Emily Alana Morgan was born on March 7th at 2:07 am. Sam was woken up by her first contraction. Jason wanted to go to the hospital right away but Sam wanted to wait until the contractions were closer together. Jason got the bag ready and called Carly and Sonny to come and watch the kids. Carly called Sam's parents and Monica so that they would be there when Sam and Jason got to the hospital. The contraction were right on top of one another but the baby was not coming so they had to do and emergency C-section. Sam got a little scared because of what happened with Lila but Jason sat right next to her talking her way through the whole thing.
After Emily was born, Sam started to bleed badly. They had to take her into emergency surgery to try and stop the bleeding. Emily was perfectly healthy but Jason refused to go and see her without Sam. He wanted the first time he saw his daughter to be with his wife. He wanted the first time he held her, to be placing her in her mother's arms. Three hours after Sam went into surgery, Jason started to crack. "She should be ok by now. She should be out of surgery by now if she was…" "Jason stop." Sonny said to his friend. "Sam is the toughest woman in the world. She is going to be fine." Jason started to play with his wedding ring, twisting it around his finger thinking back to the day Sam had first put it on him.
An hour later the doctor came out and said "She is going to be just fine. It took a while for us to get the bleeding to stop but she is going to be ok. She is going to need to take it easy for a while but she will make a full recovery." The room sighed in relief.
"Can I see her?" Jason asked. "Of course." Jason followed the doctor to his wife's room and sat down next to her bed. He picked up her hand and kissed it. "I love you so much. We have a beautiful baby girl, Sam. so you need to wake up soon so that you can meet her." Jason pushed the hair from her forehead and kissed it.
Sam stayed unconscious for the rest of the night. The next morning Jason was woke up by Sam mumbling his name. "Jason?"
He leaped up and went to her side. "Sam. Hey, it's ok. Don't mover too much, ok? Try not to tear your stitches."
Sam's eyes popped open and asked "Jason, where is the baby? I can't feel her. Where is she?" Sam started to freak out. "Sam, she is fine. She is in the nursery. I promise you that she is ok." Tears started to fall from Sam's eyes. "She's ok?" Jason smiled down at his wife and said "Yeah, baby. She is just fine. I am going to go and get the doctor and then I will have your mom bring he up, ok?" "Hurry." Sam said through the tears.
The doctor came and checked Sam over and said "They are still nicely intact. You need to be very careful not to bend all the way over for the next 6 to 8 weeks. No heavy lifting and no working. You need to help your body recover as much as possible, alright?" Sam nodded her head. "We need to keep you here for another day but tomorrow you can go home with your daughter." The doctor smiled at her as there was a knock on the door. Alexis appeared in the room holding a small pink bundle. Jason walked over to her and Alexis placed her in his arms. Jason looked down at his daughter and smiled at her. She was awake. He little eyes were open and looking right at her daddy. "Hi, baby. You want to go meet your mommy?"
Sam smiled a watery smile as she watched her husband bring their little girl to her. Jason placed her in her mother's arms and Sam looked down at her daughter for the first time. She had Sam's dark hair but Sam could tell that she was going to have her father's eyes. She had Sam's bone structure but her nose was also Jason's. She was the perfect combination of the two of them and she was so beautiful. "Hi, baby." Sam said down to her. "Do you guys have a name?" Alexis said. Sam looked up and saw that both their families had filed into the room. She looked over to Jason and said "Yeah, we do. Everyone, this is Emily Alana Morgan. Emily, this is your family." Monica looked near tears as she heard that her new granddaughter was named after two people she loved dearly.
And here they were. A year later setting up for her first birthday. "Daddy, are you sure this is enough?" said Danny. Jason looked at his backyard that saw completely decorated pink and purple. Emily's favorite TV show was a show called Little Charmers so Sam decided that was the theme. He looked back down at his son and said "Yes, Danny I think this is enough." Danny took the role of being a big brother to his little sister very seriously. She was very protective of her even with his own parents. Emily started walking at 10 months so she was getting in to everything. And if Sam or Jason scolded her Danny jumped right in and would defend her saying she was only a baby or she didn't know better. When Sam and Jason tried to explain to him that they knew she was only a baby but she needed to learn right from wrong he still would tell them to not scold her when she got in trouble.
Lila got the biggest kick out of it. She thought it was funny how Emily had three parents instead of two. "Why don't you go and get mom and Em and we can see how she likes it?" Lila told her little brother.
Danny raced off to go and get his mom and sister. "That kid, I swear." Jason mumbled.
"You are going to be glad he is the way he is when she gets older and starts dating. She will hate it but you will have your own spy considering Danny seems to be taken with mom's chosen profession." Lila said. Jason smiled. Danny could listen to his mom talk for hours about some of the cases she went on. He has been begging her to take with her on one for a while now. "Speaking of dating." Jason said giving his daughter a pointed look, "What is this I hear about you being asked to prom?"
Lila smiled at her dad. "Hi name is James Freedman. He is the class president and captain of the football team and he has a higher GPA that I do. He is a really nice guy, dad. I swear. And he even said that he had no problem with you checking into him because he knows that you will do it anyway." Lila gave her father a look.
Jason smirked and said "Damn right it will. Actually I will have your mother do it. That way she can see what you are going out with." "Dad!" Jason laughed and said "Hey, that's my right as your father. At all times I get to run background checks on the men you date. And I am sorry, honey, but that will not ever change." Jason put his arm around her and kissed her on the head.
Danny and Emily came walking through the back door with Sam behind them to look at the yard. "What do you think, Em?" Danny asked his little sister.
"Charm!" she squealed the name of the show ad she saw the decorations. She giggled at each new one she saw. Sam and Jason smiled as their little girl explored the decorated backyard.
"Hey, I got a call form Michael. He said that he and Sabrina were going to be a little late. Jasmine has a checkup at the same time so they will head here after." Sam told her husband.
Michael and Sabrina had gotten married a month after Jason and Sam got back from their honeymoon. Three months ago Sabrina gave birth to their daughter Jasmine Isabelle Quartermaine. She was a beautiful baby girl that looked just like her momma but had her daddy's eyes. Jason could not have been more proud of the man that Michael had become. Things were pretty much back to normal between he and Sonny again. He even started calling him dad again. But he decided to keep the Quartermaine last name so that it would live on.
Sam's mom and dad now had full custody of Gio. Six months after Olivia and Ned brought him back they were killed in a plane crash coming back from a vacation. Dante was devastated and while he wanted to go for custody of Gio, Sam reminded him why that might not be the best idea. Gio was over a year old now and was also walking and he and Emily were best friends. They liked to do everything together. And with a new baby on the way, the Davis family was surrounded by little people. Last month Kristina dropped a bomb on everyone when she told them she was pregnant. She and Ethan hadn't been living together that long after it happened but they were both really happy about it. After getting over the initial shock, their families were happy too. Alexis loved being a grandmother even if she didn't like the label that came along with it. She was so happy that there would be more and Molly haven't even started having any yet.
Hayden and Lucky were going strong as well. The boys absolutely loved her and considering the life Hayden had lived prior to coming to Port Charles, she adjusted very well. She was crazy about Lucky and his son's and was enjoying the laid back life that came without running cons. Sam knew that feeling very well. She also knew the surprise that Lucky had for Hayden that he would be giving her on Friday. A diamond ring and a question. Sam was so happy that they had each other and were happy. Sam looked up at her husband and thought back on their life. They went from hating each other to being so in love, there was on one else in the world for them. Sam used to think that love was just a fairy tale that little girls dreamed about because they didn't know any better. Sam never thought that she would have her own fairy tale. Until she met Jason. He gave her everything she could have wanted in her life. And so much more. Jason looked down at his wife and saw her looking up at him. He saw the look on her face and smiled down at her. "I love you." he said. "I love you, too." Jason leaned down and kissed her, as they both listened to their children play in front of them, they both thought the same thing. They had everything.
