Storylines
On Christmas Eve 2004, a severe Arctic storm caused much of Port Charles to shut down. Sam McCall got stranded at Kelly's diner with Jasper Jacks. Due to the storm, all the roads were closed, and the cell phone and power towers went out. While they were waiting for the power to come back on and the storm to pass, Lorenzo Alcazar ran into the diner carrying Bridget Daly, a sixteen year old pregnant mother in labor. Bridget was close to delivering, and the hospital couldn't send anyone right away, so they had to deliver the baby themselves. The baby was born with the help of Sam, Jax, Lorenzo and Mike Corbin. Sam was the first woman to hold the baby after she was born.

After delivering her baby, Bridget tells Sam that she doesn't want to see the baby and she doesn't want to be a mom. Sam tries to encourage and reassure Bridget that she will be a good mother, and eventually gets Bridget to look at her daughter. The day after Christmas, Jason Morgan goes to Kelly's and asks Sam to meet him back at his place for dinner. Sam accepts and when she arrives at Jason's penthouse, she has Bridget's baby in her arms. Sam explained to Jason to Bridget had been trying to care for the baby, but realized she couldn't. Bridget had no other family around, so she gave her baby to Sam and asked her to take care of her baby and give her a home.

Jason was hesitant of Sam keeping the baby at Bridget's word, because he wanted to make sure they went through the proper channels, for Sam's protection and the protection of the baby. He didn't want Sam getting hurt if Bridget decided she wanted her baby back one day and the adoption wasn't legal. Jason agrees to help Sam take care of the baby and he contacts his ex-wife, Courtney Matthews to see if they could adopt the baby. Courtney tells Jason and Sam that Bridget agreed to the adoption and gave her permission to start up the paperwork. Courtney, Sam and Jason visit Bridget at Kelly's to confirm that she is sure about the adoption and Bridget reiterates that she wants Sam and Jason to raise her baby. Although as Jason and Sam leave with the baby, Bridget seems a little attached to her, which doesn't go unnoticed by Jason. Nevertheless, they push ahead with the adoption and Sam and Jason start to raise the baby together.

On New Years Day, Bridget gets arrested for fighting a bouncer at a club and calls Jason to bail her out. Jason and Sam get settled in with the baby and talk about naming her. At her first doctor's appointment, Jason names her Hope and Sam loved the name. Jason had trouble bonding with Hope, because he was afraid that she would be taken away from them. Sam and his best friend, Carly Corinthos helped him sort through his fears and worries and he was finally able to bond with Hope.

Bridget ran away from her foster home and ended up at Sam and Jason's place to see her baby. Sam lets Bridget see the baby and tells her that she and Jason named the baby, Hope. Courtney comes to get the runaway Bridget and lets her stay at her place, much to the dismay of Sam who is suspicious of Courtney's true intentions. Sam and Jason got engaged and planned to start their new family together with Hope. Courtney was jealous that Jason was moving on, so she began trying to convince Bridget to be a mother and get Hope back. When Courtney went to drop the adoption papers off, she was shocked and hurt to hear that Jason and Sam were dating.
