I woke up and I thought I was dreaming, I had to be dreaming. Jason was still here, lying peacefully next to me, one arm draped over my waist possessively. I traced my fingers over his face, before bending to kiss his sleeping smile. He kissed back, and I knew it was a dream because; he shouldn't even be here with me. He had to leave, to escape so that Sonny wouldn't go to prison. I let the kiss go, let his hands wrap around me, let us make love again.

I was almost asleep, lying in his arms when his hand moved the hair away from my ear. He kissed me there and I shivered, "I couldn't leave you Samantha, I never met someone like you. Every time I thought about leaving, I thought about you. And I…I love you. I can't go"

I pinched him.

He howled, "That was my apology Sam, damnit that hurt!"

I woke up fully and turned, wrapping my arms around his neck and kissing him over and over, "Jason! You're staying?" I had to hear it again to believe it.

"Yeah I am, why did you pinch me?" He said, rubbing at the skin I pinched at his side.

"I didn't think you were real!" I said.

"Well I am, and now I'm wounded." He joked, hugging me tight. Some many thoughts were running through my mind, Jason had stayed in Port Charles because of me. Jason loved me enough to not go on the run, to not save Sonny. And I was beginning to find that was a big thing.

"Jason what are you going to do about Sonny?"

He kissed me, "Right now all I want to think about is you, I don't even want to worry about any of that right now. You've been the only person occupying my mind for some time now Samantha"

"Oh really, what have you been thinking about me?"

"I've missed your smile, the smell of your hair, and the way you say my name"

I scowled at him, "What do you mean by the way I say your name?" I dug my nails into his shoulders and he hissed.

"Not that way, I just like the way you say it. I can just feel something when you say it, I don't know I can't explain it" He didn't elaborate either, just held me, and that was fine with me. We lay there, silent, content in the silence with each other. Until his phone rang. He didn't move to get it, he didn't even tense.

"Jason…answer it I bet it's important" I wanted him all to myself, without the mob but he couldn't just say forget Sonny altogether. I didn't really think he would anyways, Sonny was his best friend.

He groaned, and turned to rummage in the pockets of his jeans that were left on the floor. He called the missed call back, "Spinelli, what is it?" He listened for a while and slumped back to the bed, "wow." He talked some more, and I waited until he flipped his phone closed. "You saved me Sam"

"What do you mean?"

"Spin just told me that the police raided the boat I was going to use to flee the country, if they caught me I'd be in jail right now. Since I came back to you I'm safe"

BRENDA'S POV

"What do you mean? What are you talking about! Why didn't he go?" I couldn't believe it, Jason was supposed to leave the country so that the police would be suspicious of him and not Sonny. I guess he decided that he didn't want to help save his best friend because Sonny just told me that he didn't go! If Jason had been arrested Diane would've been able to get him off and some of the things they had on both of Jason and Sonny could've been dismissed. Now it was too late, they wanted Sonny to come in for questioning.

Sonny held my face in his palms, "Brenda it's going to be alright, I'm not going to jail. Jason called me last night; he didn't leave because he didn't want to leave Sam. He loves her, and he didn't want to lose her. We'll figure something else out, I promise. I won't be going anywhere" I wanted to believe that he wasn't going anywhere, I could believe it. I just didn't want him to leave me raising our child together all by myself. No telling how many years they could put him behind bars.

"Promise?"

He brushed his lips over mine, and pressed a hand to my stomach. "I promise the both of you."
