Five Years Later
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" she asked as they walked hand in hand through Boise Airport.
Looking at her he couldn't help the smile that came to his face. She was beautiful, amazing, and she had came into his life just when he needed her too. She was his second wind, the proof that life did go on, and his heart would beat again. Without her or Cameron...he couldn't say it would have turned out quite so right.
"I got you, my son who wants me at his birthday party...so yeah, very okay" he answered leaning over to touch his lips to her cheek.
She stopped in front of him to look into his eyes, "Have I told you that you are sort of perfect?" she teased lovingly.
Bringing his forehead to hers he brought his hand to the swell of her belly, "No, I'm not, but this...us...yeah perfect"
OoO
Louise Elaine Spencer. It even made her first name sound less...reprehensible. For a long time she wandered around Port Charles being the fixer of problems...no one really knowing that she had a whole lot of hers that was needing fixing. Then he was there, with his sad eyes, so hurt...so beautiful.
For once someone didn't need her help; they just needed her...and she needed him. He had saved her; took those jagged edges of her heart and put them back together.
Happiness had eluded her for as long as she could remember...but now, with her husband holding her hand and her baby girl growing inside of her...she could change her name to happy.
"I love you Lucky" she whispers her hand finding its place over his.
"And I love you too" he murmurs before rubbing her tummy, "And you too"
OoO
"Oh I think I'm going to throw up" she said before running to the bathroom.
Opening one eye he let his feet hit the cold hardwood floor as he made his way across the room. Two knocks, "You okay?"
"Peachy" she yelled before flushing the toilet and turning on the water to brush her teeth.
Fighting back a smile he leaned against the door, "You know munequita, the doctor said that morning sickness was a good thing" he told her.
She pushed the door causing him to go off balance for a moment, "Oh that doctor can go kiss my" she ranted.
Quickly he regained his footing and grabbed her pressing their lips together. She moaned into his mouth and his hands came to tangle in the long raven locks before trailing across her jaw and to her pulse point.
"You know what else the doctor said was good for labor?" he whispered.
He could feel her smile as she pressed against him pushing him onto the bed before climbing on top of him, "Oh what was that?" she asked devilishly.
Brushing a lock of hair out of her face he licked his lips, "I could tell you, but I'd rather show you Samantha"
OoO
God, the way he said her name should be illegal. It did stuff to her body...and her heart that she couldn't explain. There was a lot of stuff that she couldn't with him...like how he was there at the exact moment she needed him, or how in the hell he chose her to become his wife.
She didn't deserve him; that much she had told him...but there he was, not listening, creeping into her life and heart. That summer she had lost everything...but he gave it back to her, and so much more.
Resting her stomach against him she let him feel their son growing healthy in her stomach. In this room was everything she needed, but she still had so much more.
Leaning down she let her lips touch his, "Tempting as that sounds, I promised Alexis we wouldn't be late"
Faking a groan he smiled, "I love you Samantha Rodriguez"
"McCall-Rodriguez to you" she teased wrapping her arms around his neck for just a minute longer.
OoO
"Daddy, Mommy, look I made breakfast"
Jason opened his eyes first. There at the edge of the bed was the blue eyed girl with the chestnut hair smiling with a tray. Getting up he took the tray from her hands, the bowls filled to the brim with some fruity looking cereal, "Thanks sweetie" he said.
Smiling she crawled up on the bed, "I tried to wake Cammy but he said it was his birthday and that meant he got to sleep in" she told him very matter of fact, "So, I said s'ok, I would eat with Mommy and Daddy"
Grabbing a spoon he dug in like it was a gourmet meal, "Mmm"
That made her beam, "Its good Daddy?"
"The best" he said feeling the familiar tightening in his chest.
Her grin was a crooked one and it reminded him so much of her mother. For so long he walked around like he was content with being alone, keeping every emotion bottled up inside. Stone Cold...he had embraced the nickname because he was tired of feeling anyway. Then one night, he started to feel again...the hurt, pain, anger...and when she showed up at his door, good, love, pleasure, alive.
This life that they had now with Cameron and with Sienna Alexandra Morgan; it was worth every moment of heartbreak and pain he had endured on the road here.
"I love you Daddy" she says wrapping her arms around his neck.
"I love you too"
OoO
She doesn't let them know she is awake. Instead she just watches. Most people would never believe that Jason Morgan, Mob Enforcer becomes squishy for a four year old with a curly top.
Most people don't know the Jason that she does...the one that hurts deep and loves deeper. His life is scary, that much she will admit, but living without him scares her more. He had always been the one there when her world fell apart, to listen, to talk, to hold her...and the night her heart shattered; there he was holding his heart in his hands too.
Now, he is the one to make her wake up smiling...and walking away again isn't an option.
OoO
Opening the door she smiles as Sienna runs up the cobblestone pathway, "GRAMMMMMMY" she cries before throwing herself into her arms.
"Now that is the kind of hello I could get use to" she says kissing her head.
Cameron is next up the pathway, "Well happy birthday" she says putting Sienna down and opening her arms.
He smiles, and her heart swells and breaks thinking of that same smile on another face, "Thanks Grandma" he says letting her hug him.
Jason says something and Elizabeth smiles. Sometimes it's hard for her to believe that even after all these years; watching her daughter smile still makes her tear up.
"Mom" she says as their eyes catch.
Opening her arms they wrap each other tightly in their embraces and Alexis wonders how her life came to be so perfect.
OoO
From the dining area he watches her, the smile on her face as she greets the guests. It was something he thought he could never do...make her happy...and the whole time she was sick; he was afraid he would never even have a chance.
She's a survivor; it's something he has known since he met her...that's what bonded them; their masks...the way they understood each other in a way that no one else could touch.
This is his world...his family, everything.
His arm slides around her as they gather around the monster cake in the center of the living room.
"Happy Birthday Dear Cameron, Happy Birthday to You" they sing in unison before he blows them out.
"You happy counselor"
"Positively giddy" she responds dimples ablaze.
"Good"
OoO
This is happiness...all of them here in this house together. This was where she got her life back...where she fell back in love, and where she learned that the truth is much more powerful than lies.
"I want a picture with my girl's" she announces.
Elizabeth, Kristina and Molly come to surround her but she looks across the room to the dark eyed girl with the burgeoning belly, "Come on Sam, get in the picture" she orders and she scurries over tears shining in her eyes.
As Lucky clicks it she smiles...in this house, is all the truth she has ever needed.
