Sam stood in the room at Lorenzo looking at herself in the mirror. She had arrived back in town just last night on her ship. It had taken her two weeks to land back in Port Charles, she had taken her time in no rush to reach this place again besides she had to make an emergency stop for medical attention. Her wrist was now cast but other than that she was okay. It taught her not to fight a shark. Okay so she wasn't really fighting a shark, she has been fishing when a bull shark caught her line.
She has tried to get it free and not lose her equipment and then finally the line had broke and she feel back breaking her wrist. But for the most part she was very lucky. So why was she staring at herself in the mirror, well she was looking at the horrible scar across her upper stomach, the stitches gone leaving behind a pinkish ugly line always there reminding her of the love she saved and wasn't with anymore.
Sam hated that scar, she wasn't usually one to care about the way she looked. She took pride in maintaining her looks but it wasn't for anyone just for her being healthy and strong enough to handle the ships she runs. Its not like she didn't have hundreds of other scars just none that was so visible and some many emotions behind them. She was afraid to be back in this town, she didn't want to run into Jason. She had been so wrapped up in her own thoughts she never heard the door knock let alone someone coming into the room.
He stood there looking at her, knowing that no longer just the sight of her sent a jolt to him, that didn't mean he didn't find her attractive, only a blind man would be that clueless, it was just the fact that he didn't see her in that light anymore. She was more family than anything else, odd since they were once lovers but it was better them being where they are now. He needed the family he had left and she was part of that. He could tell she was deep in thought but he didn't get why she was looking at that scar in the mirror. "Sam what are you doing?" he asked.
Sam jumped as she turned around surprised to see him there. "just looking at that horrible scar, wishing it away. Thought would be gone by now?" she stated as she pulled down her shirt and went and sat down. He smiled and sat down next to her. "no such luck, thought I would see if you wanted to do lunch or dinner today?" he said.
Sam smiled at Lorenzo. "Now your out of luck, I have a date, in an hour and spending all afternoon with him" she said as she stood and went into her closet changing out of her boxer and tank and into shorts and a black short sleeve button up shirt. "you are back in town less than twenty-four hours and you already have a date? Please tell me its not Morgan!" he said really hoping it wasn't Jason for the way he hurt his Sammy. Sam laughed. "yes its with Morgan just a different Morgan" she informed him as she slipped on some shoes.
She could tell that Lorenzo was confused. "Morgan Corinthos, Carly's son. We're doing lunch then playing at the park and then maybe a boat ride." Lorenzo watched as her face lighted up about the boy, it was the first time she got happy about a kid that wasn't her brother. "Well that sounds like fun, sure he is going to have a blast, well be safe out there I still haven't found you know who yet," he said as she stood up and headed towards the door. "Okay I will watch my back" with that Lorenzo left leaving Sam alone to finish getting ready.
Sam had been lucky the whole way to kellies she hadn't ran into anyone she knew. Just as she was about to go in she heard a shriek followed by her name she turned in time to catch a little boy who was midair wrapping his arms around her. Sam laughed. "Hey Buddy, now give me a better hug" she said as she bent down and hugged him tight. She started squeezing his side getting squeals of laughter out of him as she scooped him up with her good arm. Carly smiled at the scene as she walked up on them, she knew Morgan was in good hands when he took of running to kellies. He couldn't stop talking about Sam and their adventure for the last two weeks. Carly raised her eyebrow at Sam's cast hand. At all the times she talked to her or Morgan talked to her did Sam ever mentioned getting hurt. "Morgan be careful with Sam's hand" she said as she came up and gave Sam a quick hug.
Morgan seemed for the first time noticing it. "Sam, what did you do to your hand? Does it hurt?" he asked. Sam smiled at him. "No it doesn't, and it teaches me not to fight with sharks" she said. Knowing Morgan would love her playing it that way. "You fought a Shark?" the boy said with awe. "Sure did, taught him a lesson I did" she told the boy. More that the Shark taught her a lesson. "Sam really a Shark?" Carly questioned. Sam laughed, "Yes a Shark Carly, it got caught on my line and I was trying to free it" Carly just shook her head in understanding as they went into Kellies to grab lunch.
After they had eaten, Carly had left to go shopping and do other errands while Sam spent the rest of the afternoon with Morgan. Sam was holding his hand as they walked to the Piers, Lorenzo told her she would use one of the smaller boats he had so they could play around and not worry about the huge beast that was hers. Morgan was talking awhile a minute about things she didn't even know what they were. She would occasionally enter a "Wow, that's cool, really" when needed but half the time the boy didn't notice that she was always looking around making sure things were safe.
She had to many close encounters on the docks around her, better safe than sorry especially since she has Morgan with her. Morgan was now onto boats and how he had made his dad tell him more about them. Sam laughed to herself just thinking how annoyed Sonny could be with all the questions from Morgan. "Uncle Jason" she heard the small boy yell as his hand left hers. "Morgan be careful" she said without thinking.
She was not happy about seeing Jason at all. Jason scooped up Morgan and walked towards Sam. He couldn't believe she was back, and for the fact that he didn't know she was back was just as shocking. "Hey," he simply said. "Hi," Sam said clearly uncomfortable. "What happened to your hand?" he said. Sam bit her lip. "She was fighting a shark" injected Morgan. Jason raised his eyebrow. "A Shark?" he questioned. Sam sighed. "Why do people not believe that, yes Jason a Shark" she said, rolling her eyes.
Jason set down a squirming Morgan who instantly went back to holding Sam's hand. "So what are you two up to?" Jason asked. "We had lunch with mom and then we went to the park to play and now we are going boating," Morgan said really quick. Jason smiled. "Sounds like your having a lot of fun buddy." Morgan bobbed his head in agreement. "We are you should come as well Jason, Sam is just so cool and the boat were going on is just as cool" Morgan looked up at Sam. "Sam can Jason come too?" he asked his little eyes giving her those how can you refuse me looks.
Sam sighed. "Bud, I'm sure Jason here is very busy, we don't want to keep him from whatever it is he has planned." Sam could see the disappointment in his eyes. "No I'm not, I'd love to go" Jason answered. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with Sam and if using Morgan to do such a thing well that's just what he would do besides he hadn't seen Morgan since they got back from Hawaii. Sam Sighed. "Fine lets get going." She did not like this but Morgan invited him and Jason agreed so much for a relax fun evening with Morgan she thought.
