A/N: The middle of this chapter has been simmering in my brain since they called SBu P6. There were so many more interesting directions they could have taken this than the way they did. This whole past year has been one big dud.
I ended the last chapter where I did because it was getting long and I had no plans of writing a love scene but after I got to the middle of this chapter I changed my mind. So, this chapter ends sooner in the time line than I had planned.
Chapter 14
Sam unwrapped her legs around Drews hips and they slide down his legs slowly. She rubbed her breasts against his chest.
With a moan, Drew said, "Let's get undressed and get in the shower!"
Instead of replying, Sam quickly began removing her black jeans, t-shirt and undergarments. They left their clothes scattered beside their bed and rushed into the bathroom.
Drew reached into the shower and adjusted the water while Sam stood behind him rubbing her breast against his naked back and caressing his butt.
He hastily stepped into the shower, then told her breathlessly, "Check the temperature to make sure the water isn't too hot for you."
"It's perfect." Sam replied after she had taken him into her hand and stroked his hard length. Drew quickly pulled her in after him.
He crushed her body up against his as he gave her a searing kiss. He knew this might be the last time in awhile that they would have to spend together. They both became aggressive as they were impatient to become a part of each other.
Sam's back was soon up against the back wall with her legs up around Drew's hips as Drew slammed himself inside her.
He looked down into her face with wonder. She opened her eyes to see the stark blue of his eyes staring at her.
Before she could ask him why he stopped, he made a short stroke out and back in her. She gasped, then she heard him say, "You are so beautiful, and it feels so right being inside you."
"I feel the same way," Sam moaned. Then she said between kisses, "But if you stop again, I am going to kick your ass."
"Yes, ma'am," Drew said with a laugh, then he continued moving against her. It didn't take long for her to cry out in pleasure. He watched her in delight as she exploded around him. Her muscles contracted around him and triggering his own orgasm.
They were both panting when Sam said, "Round one is over, when will you be ready for round two?"
Without answering her, he bent down and sucked a taunt nipple into his mouth.
Mid December
Unfortunately for Sam and Drew, fall was turning out to not be so different from their summer. They spent most of their time with people they didn't want to spend time with as well as only communicating through the secure server.
Drew was starting to have memories come back on their own. He told her it was like just having a memory come forward all the sudden. Some of the memories that were coming to him have to do with Kim. He didn't elaborate at first. She asked him if it meant that he could be Oscar's father, but he said no. He was still adamant that Kim and he had only been friends. He had helped her play a prank on some jocks that had been giving her trouble in her first year of college.
Sam decided not to worry about it and concentrate on her tutoring lessons with Sarah. They had spent the better part of a week going over seduction training. Sam wasn't going to seduce A.J. so much as handle him. That is what seduction was about for the most part. At least in the spy game.
It was interesting and fun to hang around Sarah. They also planned on getting their children together for a play date when this was all over.
Sarah was an expert at keeping men at arm's length. After all, she had done it to Chuck for two and a half years. Although that had been because she was afraid of the feelings Chuck evoked in her. Sarah did readily admit she only held out that long because Chuck was a gentleman and hadn't forced the issue.
Sam's situation was different. She had to pretend she was alright with A.J. turning up around her all the time. That she welcomed the attention for the most part. Tell him that she wasn't ready for anything but friendship but hint that she might want something more later.
Sam didn't like the situation because as much as she didn't really like A.J., he didn't deserve to be messed with like this. He was the one that was being brainwashed. She had to hope that once this was over and done with, he would appreciate it that they were not going to go any further than some flirtations.
For the rest of November until almost Christmas, Sam put up with A.J. showing up unexpectedly at the penthouse and where ever she was. As planned, she had put him off by telling him she just wanting to be friends.
She had been worried about Danny at first, but he was fine with the pretense. Lila had prepared him. At least that is what Danny had told her. After what had happened before she believed him. Maybe after this was over, they could have one big therapy session with Kevin. Danny wasn't acting out in any way and he was doing well in school, so she wasn't going to borrow trouble.
Sam was coming to realize it wasn't just Drew she was getting isolated from. She didn't feel free to spend time with her family when she had to deal with A.J. She also missed Monica. Even though Drew was certain that Oscar wasn't his son, she even missed him. He was in the hospital and she wasn't visiting him.
She was avoiding Oscar because she didn't want to be just another adult in his life that was lying to him. She knew she was keeping the truth from him, but she just couldn't face him doing it. She was having to lie about too much in her life.
She had mainly just seen Drew when she would drop the kids off at Monica's house. If anyone thought it was strange that Danny was always with Scout when she was visiting Drew no one said anything. Drew needed to spend time with both of his kids no matter what anyone else may think.
One day she had been on her way to Kelly's to get some breakfast and coffee before she was headed to the PI office when she saw Drew. She didn't see anyone else around, so she ran up to him. She fought the instinct to give him a big kiss just in case someone came upon them.
When he saw her rushing up to him, he had the first genuine smile on his face in a long time. He felt lighter and happier than he had in a while. He missed her so much.
They had sat outside on a bench looking at pictures of Scout playing with pots and pans. He teased her about Scout having a better use for them since Sam didn't cook well. She then boasted that she could now make grilled cheese and tomato soup without burning them. She could even manage heating up precooked packaged bacon in the microwave without burning it.
He wanted to pull her the rest of the way onto his lap and kiss her until they both couldn't breathe. Unfortunately for them both, their moment together didn't last near long enough. Drew didn't know when Shaw was going to come after him and he didn't want to be out in public with anyone in his family until Shaw was caught or dead.
Peter told them Shaw's plan was on hold. Peter found out there was someone pulling his strings. It was just one more mystery they had to solve before they could put things right with Jason and A.J. Chuck, Sarah and Casey went back to Burbank to help Carina's team with the search as well as be reunited with their children.
Carina's team had some leads on the facilities where Nathan and possibly Jason could be located. One of the facilities that was supposed to have been completely burned had some hidden rooms that had been cleaned out with the equipment relocated.
They used Britt to get Obrecht back. Anna was under the assumption they were getting her back for kidnapping and torturing Peter; however, Frisco and Robert wanted her back to find out the identity of the new boss of the Ring. If there was anyone that was still alive that would know it was her. They had her busy going through all the Ring files Chuck had been able to find.
They had ruled out Jerry Jax since he was still in prison. Robert had gone to see for himself. After talking with Jerry, Robert didn't think he even knew about the Ring.
Shaw in the meantime had disappeared. Not even Peter had heard from him. Obrecht and Britt were located at a WSB safehouse. If they couldn't find out anything before Christmas, they were going to go with the original plan of using Britt as Evelyn. Drew was ready to break the story January 2nd.
The plan was as soon as they got Shaw out in the open, Peter would remove the programing from A.J. and Ellie would perform the procedure so his A.J. memories could come back on their own. Monica was ready to have A.J. back to himself and to find Jason. This back and forth had not been easy for any of them.
Sam and Curtis were at the PI office doing paper work when their phones went off at the same time. They looked down at their simultaneous alerts.
"I will go get the equipment up and running," Sam told him as she got up and went into their secret room.
She was excited that this could mean a break in the case as well as an opportunity to see Drew.
"Why don't you let all the reprobates get their drinks for themselves?" Sam had finished putting out bottled water from the refrigerator to the cabinet. She looked over at the door where Drew had stopped and was leaning against the wall with his hands in front of him. He had that special smile on his face that was reserved for her and the kids.
He always looked good in his dark blue business suit. He always had. "Do you include yourself in the reprobate category?"
They walked to each other and hugged tightly. "I hate to wish time away, but I am ready to do some confronting. The only reason why I haven't is I don't want to hurt Oscar in all this mess but how can he not be hurt by it."
"When are you planning on telling Kim you know the truth about Oscar?" Sam pulled back to look at his clean-shaven face. He was always handsome, but she admitted to herself that she missed the beard.
"I am waiting to see if this trial works to shrink his tumor." Drew said sadly. "I am going to talk to her first and try to get her to admit who his biological father is. I am going to have to tell Oscar no matter what really. I just keep putting it off. I love that kid and I don't want to break his heart again."
"I went ahead and got the DNA test to officially rule myself out as his father." Drew told her. "With all the experimenting that has been done on my brain over the years I didn't want to be wrong. She did some comparisons on some DNA she had on file and came up with a probability on Oscar's biological father.
"I had Ellie run a few more DNA tests while I was at it as well," Sam looked at him with surprise.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Sam asked with shock. "I assume you also tested Jake in case he is your son."
"I also went ahead and had her test Aiden since Helena messed with his results as well." Drew confessed. "With all the DNA test shenanigans that have happened over the years I just thought, 'why not'."
"I assume you didn't tell me because you wanted to tell me in person," Sam guessed while she looked at him anxiously.
"I think you are going to be as surprised by the results as I was," Drew told her. "Aiden and Jake are full siblings."
She just looked at him, not knowing what to say to that. "Have you told Elizabeth?" was all she could think to say knowing she would want to know as soon as possible.
"Not yet," He answered as he pulled her to the conference table for them to sit down. "At this point how do I explain to her that I had her kids' DNA tested?"
"Wait a minute," Sam exclaimed. "didn't Helena say she kidnapped Jake because he was Jason's son and she wanted to turn him into her own little assassin?"
"Yes, she did." Drew answered her. Knowing what was going through Sam's head he went on, "I'm not going to accuse her of lying about the results at this late date. There is way too many other suspects and it happened years ago. I'm not sure we would be able to trace who did it after all this time. Besides, since I am not the one that was lied to, I am not sure it is my place to confront her. I will just tell her in a few weeks."
Sam calmed down and realized he was right. She still had the instinct to think the worst of Elizabeth. Her willingly marrying Franco didn't help either.
They both sat beside each other holding hands while waiting for Curtis to come in and waiting for things to get started. They both knew that they were about to get more information that was likely to blow their minds. They just hoped Nathan and Jason were found.
They were surprised to see Beckman on the screen instead of Frisco. She quickly explained.
"Frisco is on his way to Port Charles to tell Maxie, Lulu and Dante what is going on with Nathan. Carina and her team with Chuck's technical assistance hit the mother load of evidence at this latest facility. Like all the rest of the facilities, it was burned down but they made a mistake. They left the hidden underground rooms intact."
"There is a report on the secure server for you each to read as well as some video surveillance that was discovered. Chuck also scanned a research journal he found. It was Faison's. It details all of his experiments on all of his subjects through the years as well as their identities."
"None of you need to do anything but absorb the information." Beckman continued in a worrisome tone. "Frisco and Robert and going to take care of Maxie, Anna and Peter. If you have any questions you will probably need to direct them to Chuck since he was the one to uncover the information."
The screen went blank unceremoniously as usual.
Drew and Sam looked over at Curtis. Curtis just shrugged as he went over to the computer in the room and pulled up the files they needed to look over.
They were reading the report over Curtis' shoulder when Sam said, "Poor Anna."
"Poor everyone that is mentioned in the report." Curtis said in disgust. "That man was a piece of work and may God forgive me, but he deserved worse than what he got. Hope he is burning in hell."
"Now, I know that you are the only one I call friend on that list," Curtis addressed Drew. "But to experiment with so many people like that especially his daughter."
Drew and Sam continued to be silent as they fully absorbed the identities of P1-P6.
Alex was P1 and Anna was P2. After Faison found out that Alex became pregnant by Valentin, he brainwashed Alex into forgetting being pregnant and giving birth. He manipulated Valentin into believing Henrik was Anna and his son and got him to give Henrik to Faison to raise. After many years, when he kidnapped Anna, he brainwashed her into believing that she had seduced him and became pregnant years before.
P3 was Britt. Faison used Britt as an experiment using technology that turned her into another person, while she was supposed to be in medical school. It was based on the intersect technology that Stephen and Mary Bartowski used to turn Hartley Winterbottom into Alexei Volkoff as an experiment. After Sarah's red test, Britt was regenerated and turned back onto Britt with memories of medical school. It was a way to get Shaw to turn rogue and recruit him into the Ring.
The most complicated of the experiments involved P4 that was Drew, P5 that was Jason and later P6 that was A.J.
The book contains an outline of the many times over the years that Drew, and Jason were switched. (First time was when Sam was pregnant with Lila, Mexico when Michael and Kristina ran away and switched out while Jason was in prison. Most of the times were no longer than two to three months at a time. The other times were known about, the months preceding the wedding, the wedding and the honeymoon. They were switched back several times during the next year, mainly when Jason had to have surgery again.)
Faison and the Ring wanted to do experiments to see how much success they would have with brain washing and mapping because of his brain damage. They had some success, but it started causing problems with Jason's brain. They found the object in his brain and switched them back because the Seals needed Drew and Patrick needed to do the surgery to take the object out.
The notebook says that the research started causing more brain damage to Jason's brain and he had to stay in a coma. They had been able to use the regenerator on him a few times but with the increase in brain damage it stopped healing him.
Both Sam and Drew were silent for a while. They both went back to their seats at the table. Drew didn't understand the motivation someone would have to do all that.
"I will confirm with Ellie," Drew began almost on auto pilot. "But I am assuming this means I can resume with the procedures to get the rest of my memories back. I assume the actual notebook has more accurate dates. I will look later."
"I will be right back." Sam went out to her desk and grabbed a notepad she had locked in her desk.
"I was preparing this for Ellie." Sam told him holding up the notepad. "I guess she doesn't need it now. This was my time line of my life with Jason Morgan."
She handed it to him. He read through moments that Sam believed she had experienced with Drew instead of Jason. He didn't disagree with any of them, but he really wasn't sure without looking at the specific dates and even then, he didn't know if he could be 100% sure of them.
"Sam," Drew began. "Even if Ellie gets me accurate memories, I will still doubt myself. Especially about the important stuff."
"Drew," Sam said with confidence. "As I look at this and remember my feelings and the intensity I felt them, I know when you were with me. You are just going to have to trust me on that. As I have said before, you are the one that I have been with and experienced my most important moments. You have been there for me and the kids through the most important moments."
He got up from the table and bent down to kiss her on the forehead. "I am going to go check in with Oscar. I haven't been gone this long since he has started this new treatment."
"Drew," Sam stopped him. She got up and wrapped her arms around him. They hugged each other tightly. "We will get through this. Once the lies are all out in the open, we will sort through all of it with professional help if need be."
Christmas
Drew got to the Quartermaine mansion late that night. He had spent the day with Kim and Oscar at the hospital. He had stayed longer than he had wanted. He was going to pick Scout and Danny up in the morning to have his Christmas with them.
He went toward Scout's room. Sometimes he would go sit in her room even if she wasn't there just to think and process what had happened to him. He didn't know if he would ever come to terms with any of it. He didn't know how Sam seemed to be so together about all of it.
He heard her before he saw her. She was humming to Scout like usual. She was dressed in her usual black attire, so he only knew she was there because of the humming. He was losing his touch because he usually felt her presence. It was really that he smelled her unique scent before he saw her.
He watched her straighten and then turn around, "I wanted to bring them over tonight and that way they would already be here to enjoy their Christmas with their Dad."
"Thank you," Drew said quietly. "I appreciate it. It has been a long few days at the hospital."
"Do they know if the treatment is working yet?" Sam asked as she took his hand.
Instead of sitting down together on the couch in Scout's room she guided him to his room next door.
"They will not know if it will work until after the new year sometime." He answered her.
"Well," she began almost suggestively. "I had several other reasons to come here tonight."
"And what would those be?" He asked as he pulled her into a kiss.
"Before we get distracted," Sam pushed against his chest a little bit. She guided him to sit on the bed. "when you left the office last week, we had forgotten to look through some things. I remembered there was some video tapes in those files. There was footage of Nathan and Jason on them."
"So, there is proof that they are both alive?" Drew asked her anxiously.
"They were both alive when they were moved." Sam confirmed. "Chuck thinks they are still in California somewhere. With the condition that Jason is in, it would be too dangerous to move him very far."
"That is assuming that they care if he dies or not," Drew said with regret.
'It's not your fault," Sam said as he rubbed his back. "They took your memories. How were you to know he was still out there kidnapped somewhere?"
"I am hoping that Ellie will have some more procedures ready for me." Drew told her emphatically. "I need to get my memories caught up and maybe there is some clue in there that will help us find him and Nathan."
"Has everyone else been briefed on the information that Chuck found?" Drew asked apologetically. "Sorry, I feel like I just left a lot in your lap while I have been with Oscar and Kim."
"Like Beckman said," Sam began. "Frisco came and told Maxie, Lulu and Dante what was going on. Maxie is between being joyful that her husband is still alive to bordering on homicidal worry on what is happening to him right now. Then Anna and Peter have to deal with the fact they are not mother and son but are in fact aunt and nephew. They have no idea where Alex is to tell her. They believe her actions over the past few years is due to Faison and the intersect."
"Anytime any of us have guessed how long this was going to take, we have been wrong," Drew said as he pulled Sam with him to lay back on the bed. "How are things going with A.J.? I haven't asked before really because I don't want to hear about him trying to win you back or being insinuating himself into your life. He doesn't even know he is being ordered to do it."
"We will probably spend New Year's Eve together at the cancer charity event at the Metro Court." Sam admitted as she hugged Drew tighter to her. "You know I am as ready for all of this to be over with as you are. It would be different if we were truly working together on this, but I don't feel like we are since we have to spend the bulk of our time with others."
"I feel like I should be at the event as well, but I think I will be staying at the hospital with Oscar." Drew told her. "I don't think my brain can handle having to watch my supposed to be dead brother, with the face of my twin brother, being all over you all night. So yea, I think I will pass. I have already donated."
"I understand that," Sam said as she got up from the bed. "I will miss you. I don't think I could do what I need to do if you were there either. This sucks."
"Yes, it does." Drew answered as he got up as well. "Let me walk you to the door."
"You don't need to," Sam said as she pushed up on her toes to give him a good-bye kiss. "It's probably better that you don't. You don't know who else could be up and see us. I'm sorry I insinuated I would stay for a while, but I don't think we should take the chance."
"I know you are right," Drew sighed. "Your right, this sucks!"
He watched her walk down the hall away from him, wishing they had more time and didn't have to hide that they were back together.
He went back to his bed pulled his laptop off the side table and pulled up the videos on the secure server. Sure enough, there were videos of Nathan and Jason in the pods. The videos stopped after they were moved from the location.
A/N: I didn't go into as much detail as I wanted with the switching of Jason and Drew because that would have involved watching clips to get the little details correct. Watching a certain actor now makes me too irritated. I can't believe I ever liked him. I am just writing this how I want the timeline to be. I know most don't care for Oscar and I don't either, but he is a teenager and both Drew and Sam are caring people especially when it involves children and especially when children are being used and hurt.
I think Sam is going to be ready to blow soon. Maybe next chapter.
Nickels35 thank you for compliments on this story. I enjoy reading all your stories. Thank you everyone for the encouraging reviews.
