Characters: Jason/Elizabeth

Rating – PG13 If it changes I will let you know

Summary : It starts the night of the proposal back in April 2008. As far as the past up until now Jason and Elizabeth is the same. The only thing I am changing is that Georgie and Emily are alive. I feel they are too important for this story. There was attempts on both lives but they were saved. Just so you know I suck at summaries.

I don't own the characters I am just borrowing to have fun.

This is my first story I ever written. I hope that you enjoy it. Please leave feed back to let me know what you think. I will have an update by Friday. I want to thank Angela for being my beta, thank you so much for helping me with my first story. So happy reading.

Chapter 1:

The last twenty-fours hours had been the longest for Elizabeth Webber. When she went to see Jason at the penthouse she never thought she would be engaged. But after their happy moment both her beeper and his phone went off. They both had to rush off to the hospital. When she arrived they were bringing in Max and Michael. Max had a gun shot wound to the back and Michael had a concussion. She went to make sure Max was ready for surgery. As she entered, Max requested to see Jason before he went in. So Patrick allowed it.

As Liz was preparing Max Jason walked in. He never looked at her when he entered. He went over and spoke with Max. Max explained what happened. Sonny brought Michael to the warehouse to show him the legit of the business. Since there was a truce for peace, Sonny had called the guards off on everyone, including at the warehouse. But Jason felt that Max should follow and be a shadow, which he did against Sonny's orders. Max knew if Sonny found out he was at the warehouse to check up on him he would hear about it. So he told him he was there about a shipment that was coming in. Sonny didn't buy it, but left it for now because he wanted to show Michael and Kate how things worked in the coffee business. He was standing back and was scoping out the warehouse when he saw the scope of the rifle reflection off the light. At the corner of his eye he saw Sonny dive for Kate so he knew Michael was left open. He was close enough to Michael, so he dove in front of Michael and knocked him down. That is why he was shot in the back. He told Jason that Michael was not the target, that Sonny was, but he was sure that the bullet ricocheted. Jason thanked Max for protecting Michael. Jason told Max he would see him in recovery. The surgery went well. The bullet was close to the spinal cord but after the removal and some of swelling going down Max was able to move his legs and arms. Michael just needed some tests to make sure that it was only a concussion. He spent the night for observation.

Elizabeth hadn't spoked to Jason and that worried her. She wasn't sure if Jason would take back the proposal and that scared her. As she was getting ready for bed in her bathroom she thought about what happened and if it wasn't for Jason insisting that Max shadow them Michael might be the one with the bullet. That is why she will not back down from Jason because she knows he will do what ever he can to protect her and the boys. But if they are not together that will leave them all as open targets. She will just have to convince him that together they are stronger. So as she walks out of the bathroom she is surprised to see Jason sitting in her bedroom waiting for her.

"Jason?" she asked.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."

"That OK. I am glad you are here."

"I stopped by because we need to talk."

"You are not backing out of the engagement, Jason, there is no bailing. I mean it. I know tonight scared you but we are better together and more prepared to be together. So I ask you again, are you backing out of the engagement ?
