I still believe in fairy tales and pixie dust and all that stuff, do you? Fairy tales are the types of things that creates hope for us all and keeps us going when we think there is no chance we can make it. So why would you not believe in hope? When we are children we believe it all and we believe in magic so why do we change our minds as we age? We see the bitter reality of the world and let that haze cloud our view of magic and fairy tales but they still exist and every once in a while they come true. So don't give up hope. Never give up hope and never stop believing in magic. Just remember sometimes magic and hope come in a much different form then you expect them to.
Molly is the classic example of a child with hope and belief in magic and unicorns. Today she reminded Sam that magic is something worth fighting for and that love can last and survive if only you have faith. Sam and Jason are worlds apart right now and right now the world really does seem to be devastating for them. But Molly hasn't given up hope so why should we? If Molly can still see the fairy tale in all of this, maybe we should listen to her. Children are sometimes the most wise and insightful of us all - so don't discount Molly or think she is just foolish. Perhaps, just perhaps, Molly is the wisest of them all.
Jason loves Sam more then anything. Jason is afraid that when he sees this child he will just be reminded of how his love failed Sam and he failed to save her. Jason doesn't know how to deal with this. Jason doesn't know what to do because he can't come to peace with the fact he failed Sam. Jason is so torn because he can't come to terms with any of this. The truth is Jason needs someone to talk to just as bad as Sam does. Maybe he should talk to Ewan or someone else to figure it out. But the truth is Jason is pushing Sam away because he feels he is not worthy of her love or her child. Yes, you read that correctly. The truth is Jason isn't worthy of Sam's love but he has it anyways. So he needs to find a way to come to terms with this and let the past be the past. He wants to love this baby so badly but he isn't sure he can. Jason is playing the victim right now seeking advice from Elizabeth which may or may not have less then innocent motives. Jason needs to get past that and remember he wasn't the one that was harm and the only thing that matters is how he handles things now. How he decides to move forward is all that matters now.
The victim here is not only Jason or Sam but it is this child that hasn't even been able to breathe yet. I can't believe that Jason would let this child that is Sam's face the world without him and be the cause of so much pain for it's mother. I have a hard time believing Jason will hurt Sam that much.
Sam is just trying to do what is right by her child because no matter who is the father she is the mother. This is her only chance at motherhood. She knows this and loves this child with her whole heart. That is all this child needs in life is the love of it's mother. This child will grow up knowing its mother loves it and protected it for 9 months. This child will have a few amazing aunts and a wonderful grandmother. So luckily this child can grow up to believe in fairy tales and in pixie dust and all that magical stuff. That is Sam's hope at least is that she will do everything for her child so it can grow up to be like Molly and believe in magic. Sam isn't so sure about her future with Jason because she knows the bitter realities of life and all her hopes for a happy ending have been broken. But she still loves Jason and always will and in that she holds on to her own kind of belief in magic. As small as that belief is - it is still there too.
So even if your shed of hope is small and you have monstrous doubts, don't completely give up on magic, hope and fairy tales. Things will look up soon for JaSam I have faith.
I really do love your approach today Karen. It was so hard to watch the show, so much so that I chickened out and read recaps first. Just saw the actual thing tonight. I will admit I hated that Sam saw the (unecessary) hug when she walked out of the elevator..the look of hurt was so sad. But dear Molly..who really needs to be chosen Godmother, is so loyal and devoted to both Sam and Jason as a couple that it is heartening and as you have said,makes it easier to believe in the magic they have brought us all these years. I think,and hope, they will do that soon. Let's all have faith together. Thanks for this. Great, as always, to read it.
