♥ The Beginning

refused to testify against Jason, and to show his gratitude Jason offered to cover all of Sam’s legal expenses. Sam later became involved with Sonny
as a result, Jason was assigned to protect her. During their time together, Jason and Sam fought a lot and in the beginning, they did not get along at all.
Sam believed that Jason disapproved of her, and Jason continually pushed for Sam to end her relationship with Sonny. This caused a great amount of tension
between the two. In early 2004, Sam found out that she was pregnant with Sonny’s child. Jason asks Sam if he could pose as the baby's father so
that Sonny and wife Carly could stay together for the sake of their son Michael , but Sonny soon learns that Sam is carrying his child. Sam agrees
to Jason's request and they almost marry, but Sam backs out because they are not in love and she still has feelings for Sonny. Jason switched Sam’s paternity
test and everyone thought that he was the father of her child, except for himself, Sam and Sonny who all knew the truth. Over time, Jason and Sam began to bond
and care for each other. They continued to grow friendlier as Jason protected her from her abusive ex-boyfriend Nico and helped give her mentally handicapped
brother Danny McCall receive a better life at a specialized school in Hawaii. Jason and Sam decided to name her daughter Lila Morgan after Jason's late
grandmother Lila Morgan Quartermaine in honor of her. Sam and Jason start growing closer, trusting each other and falling in love. In November 2004

her that part of her daughter will always live on in Kristina.
