This fanfic is something more fun than I have been doing. Jason and Elizabeth leave the country to see what is out there but someone has decided to try to get rid of them by tampering with the plane. The plane crashes and everyone assumes they are dead but they are marooned on a little tropical island. This takes place after Lucky died. They are no children yet. AU There is no way to contact anyone and no way to get off the island. So this is what they did. I don't own the characters, they belong to General Hospital and ABC.
The day started like a lot of days in the cold city of Port Charles. It is winter time and Jason plans on surprising Liz with a trip around the world. It would be just them and they were going to be gone for the next year or so. Elizabeth is finishing up her shift at Kelly's when Jason walked in.
"Hey, I have a surprise for you. When is your shift over?" Bobbie comes out of the kitchen.
"Elizabeth you can go now if you like. It is slow here and with the snowstorm coming in, it would be better for you to go now before we are all trapped here at Kelly's."
"Thanks, Bobbie. I think I will take you up on that offer." Elizabeth gets herself a to-go cup of hot chocolate and gets Jason a to-go cup of coffee. The two take off for her studio. She loves being with Jason because he knows how to take care of her. She misses Lucky but knows that he is in a better place.
"Okay, we are at the studio. Spill! I can see that you want to tell me something?"
"You are no fun. I like to surprise you. I have been talking to the five families and have asked to be released from working with Sonny at least for the next year or so. I want to take you on a trip. We can go anywhere and you can take your sketchpad and draw and paint to your heart's content. I am not sure what I will be doing when I come back here but I will not be working for Sonny. He has tried to control me for too long and I need this break. I have been offered one of his jets to go down to the Caribbean to start our journey and then we can figure out what we want to do next. Sonny says letting us take the plane to start our journey is his way of saying I am sorry."
"Are you sure that you want to be away from your family and friends that long? I know that I will miss my family and friends but how can I say no to this once in a lifetime trip. Okay, but we have to keep in touch with at least Emily. She is my best friend and your baby sister. She can tell everyone how we are doing. When do we go?"
"I say as soon as we pack and get our passports and everything together. You will need to tell Bobbie that you are going. I say we leave in two weeks. It will give us time to get everything ready."
The rest of the day, they spent planning on where they wanted to go. Elizabeth knew that she wanted to see Italy. She wanted to go all over Europe and maybe some other places too. They could check out the different islands in the Pacific. Jason was excited to see how happy it made Elizabeth feel to be able to go and see the things that he could see whenever he wanted. He wanted to do this for her much more than herself.
"I think that we should get married before we leave. It will make things a lot easier in the different countries if we are married than just as boyfriend and girlfriend. We can do it here, very quietly and then leave right afterwards."
"I will do that but we first have to invite Emily, your family and my Grams. I think that it will make her feel better and she knows that I love you."
Jason went to Diane and had her take care of all the arrangements for his will. He wanted to make sure if anything happened to him or Elizabeth that everything that he owns would go to his sister, Emily. He wanted to make sure that Sonny did not get anything that belonged to him. He was not so trusting when it came to his old partner.
Diane told him that everything was all set. She had everything ready for the wedding and that Sonny and Carly do not know anything about it. Elizabeth talked to Bobbie and put her two week notice in and started packing. She went to see her Grams and told her about the trip and her wedding.
The two weeks flew by and it was time for the wedding. They got married at city hall and then had their reception at the Quartermaine estate. Jason had gone back to his old name. The two of them were now legally Mr. and Mrs. Jason Quartermaine. Diane took care of all the paperwork.
They had a wonderful dinner and then the next morning they were flying out to their future.
Sonny had a few of his men work on the plane. They wanted everything to look like an accident. He paid them extra to make sure it was done before Jason left. Sonny did not want anyone to walk away from that crash. He knew it was going over water so he hoped that they would never find the plane.
The next morning, Lila, Edward, Alan, Monica and Emily went to see the young couple at the airstrip. Everyone gave the young couple a hug and wished them well. This was the last time that the family would see Jason and Elizabeth for over a year.
The flight was going smoothly and they had just fueled up again. The clouds started to come in but the pilot told the young couple that they would be able to fly above the storm clouds. The pilot realized that there was something wrong with his gauges. He checked and double checked them and then realized that someone must have tampered with some of his equipment. The plane started to lose power and they were over open water. There wasn't any land in sight. Jason had decided that since they were first going into the Bahamas that they would take a little life raft with them. It was something of a joke but it was what saved their lives. The plane was going down and the pilot had tried everything to keep it going. The plane landed hard and was soon taking on water. Jason was able to open up the hatch and they were able to get some of their things and the life raft. They also had food to go with them.
The pilot was killed on contact and Jason knew that it would soon be dark and they had to be out of there before then. Jason helped Elizabeth onto the life raft and they were paddling away from the plane. He watched the plane go down and knew that it was Sonny that did that.
"I am so sorry. I should have known that Sonny would plan to do something like this to me. I am wanted to believe him and should know that he would never let me leave him alive. This was his way of telling me that he didn't need or want me. Our families are going to grieve for us but I promise I will find us somewhere to live and then find a way home."
Elizabeth was scared but she knew that Jason could take care of them. This was just a blip on the map. They took turns paddling but they had no way of knowing whether they were paddling the right way or not. Jason decided to let the waves take them to wherever they were going. His problem was the dark and sharks. He knew that he couldn't show his fear to Elizabeth or she would panic. Elizabeth fell asleep when the sun went down. Jason just listened and prayed that they would find land.
The next morning Jason was able to find something that he could make into a fishing line. He was able to catch some fish and the two of them ate it. They had found something that if it rained they could get some water because they didn't have much in the way of bottled water.
That afternoon the storm came out of nowhere and soon it was raining. No lightning or thunder just light showers that were able to give them the water they needed. They were in the currents for two days when they first saw land. It was like a tiny dot at first but the closer they came, the bigger it got. It really wasn't a very big island but hopefully there was a source for fresh water.
Jason paddled the life raft towards the island. They were soon right along the beach and they knew that they had found their new home. It was something so beautiful that it seemed like a mirage. Elizabeth sat on the beach with the life raft. Jason had given her a knife just in case a wild animal showed up.
Jason went through the woods and reached a waterfall. He tasted the water and knew it was fresh water. He was so happy. He went to get Elizabeth and took her into the lagoon and waterfall. The water felt wonderful and the weather was perfect. They were able to gather enough water for a few days and also brought some wood back to make a shelter.
Elizabeth thought for a few moments and then realized that she could make some things so they would be a little more comfortable. She and Emily loved watching Survivor and some of the things she saw on the show made since. Jason went to look for a rock that had some flint on it so he could start a fire. Elizabeth also had Jason watching that show and he loved any shows when it came to surviving the outdoors.
They were going to miss some of that but the shows gave them some ways they could hunt and fish on the island. It also gave them things to make so life would be a little safer and less threatening. They found some wood and made a little fortress for the night. It was nothing spectacular but it was sturdy and if it rained it would keep the rain off of them. Elizabeth was scared of the things that crawled on the ground and Jason knew that. They knew that they needed to sleep but Jason found some things to put on the ground from their luggage so they were sleeping right on it.
The one thing that Elizabeth missed the most was her phone. She was not going to be able to tell anyone that they were safe but on a deserted island somewhere in the Bahamas. She didn't want anyone to worry or grieve over them since they were still alive.
It took a couple of days but the Coast Guard found the plane. They found the body of the pilot but they didn't find Jason or Elizabeth. They were too far out in the ocean to have reached safe land unless they brought on a life raft. Emily knew that Jason was getting one for a joke because their first place to go was in the Bahamas. She just prayed that he did and that was why they hadn't found their bodies.
The Coast Guard searched in that area for a few more days but called it in due to how far away from land they were. Diane was sad about her friends but so happy that he had drawn up a will so Sonny couldn't get his hands on Jason's property.
Diane called for the Quartermaine family and the Webber family for the reading of Jason's will. Sonny and Carly also went because they figured that Jason was leaving everything to them.
The first shock that Carly got was the fact that Jason married Elizabeth. The second fact was Jason went back to the last name Quartermaine and told the family to fight for Michael. He deserved to be loved and not used by his mother, Carly.
Sonny found out that Jason was handing everything over to Elizabeth if he just died but if the two of them were to die, then Emily would get everything. Emily had no clue about that and was as shocked as everyone else. Audrey and Monica knew that Jason did that because Emily was his sister and Elizabeth's best friend and they would want her to have it.
Carly wanted Sonny to get someone to overturn Jason's will. "Everything he has ever done was for us. How could he turn on us like that? I bet the "muffin" did this to him and to us. I am glad that she is gone too."
When Carly said that she hadn't realized that she said it out loud. Audrey went over to the blonde bitch and slapped her right in the face. "I may go to jail for that but my granddaughter is dead and you are dancing on her grave. If I didn't know any better, I would say your husband rigged the plane to go down so he could get Jason's assets. But that is just me thinking that out loud."
Carly was about to hit Audrey back but seeing the looks on everyone's face she backed down. "This is not over. I will make sure that everything in that will is overturned. We deserve to get what is ours and Jason was ours."
Monica had enough by then and then she let Carly and Sonny have it. "My son loved Elizabeth. She was the light in his life while you and Sonny were his darkness. He realized how wrong it was for him to keep doing your bidding. He wanted a new life and that was why he was leaving. He would have given you anything to be with Elizabeth but there are some things that can't be undone. We will fight for Michael and we will get him back because he deserves to be loved and not used." Diane had Emily sign the documents and soon she was richer than she ever thought she would be. Jason had bought out three quarters of the company when he took over things when Sonny was feeling well. The five families knew all about it and they also knew about Emily's part in it. Emily was overwhelmed by it all and that is when Diane told her that there was someone coming there to meet her and help her.
Max and Milo were there because of working for Sonny but their father was there to help out Emily.
"I am so sorry to meet you all today. Your son, Jason has been a very loyal friend and I know that this must be a very sad time for you. Ms. Emily, I will have my sons help you with any matter that you need help with. My wife is coming into town this week and we will help you learn the ropes of the family. Jason has spoken very highly of both you and Elizabeth. I know that you are grieving your brother and your best friend. I am Maximus Giambetti and I will do anything you need me to do."
Sonny knew that he was in trouble. Max and Milo had been silent about their father coming into town and he knew that was because of their friendship with Jason. He thought all of his men were loyal to him only but he should have known that Jason would go behind his back and become friends with Maximus.
"Carly, we need to leave." He took his coat and grabbed Carly and almost ran out of the building.
"Wow, you must have some power to make Sonny turn all those different colors. I would like to know if I could just sign everything over to you and your sons. I don't know anything about the business and I am going to school to become a doctor. I don't want Sonny to have any of this but I know that Jason would rather you have it then for Sonny."
"I am afraid that you will still have your name on it but you can have my boys run it for you. If any of the five families hear that you are giving it away to me than their will be a war. We must not have that happen. I will protect you and you have my word that you and your family will be safe. You will just have to live a bit differently than you did but it will be alright."
Diane had everyone leave and Milo went to help Emily out. He knew that she was a target now and that Sonny would try to hurt her. He knew that he needed to get some back up that Jason had been hiding from Sonny. Francis and Johnny O'Brien were going to be called back to work to protect Ms. Emily Quartermaine. He called Johnny up first and told him the news about Jason.
"I am sorry to tell you about Jason but the plane went down and they never found his or his bride's bodies. Jason gave everything to his sister, Emily and she needs help. Sources are saying that Sonny put the hit on Jason because he was leaving the family. The five families gave their blessing for him to take a trip for the next year or so. Sonny was just being vindictive and he believed that Jason would give him everything if something happened to him. Can you and Francis come back and help Jason's sister. My father wants Max and I to do it but she needs you and Francis. We have to try to calm down Sonny. I am not thinking that it will work really well but I pray that I am wrong about that."
Johnny told Milo that he was on his way and so was Francis. "Keep an eye on Emily for us till we get there. Thank your father for all that he has done for us. I will say a pray for Jason and Elizabeth, hopefully they are alright."
Meanwhile back on the island, it was getting dark and the fire that Jason started had started to go out. "I need to get more wood before it goes out completely. I will just look on the edge of the shoreline because I am not sure what is in the forest and I don't want to find out in the dark." Elizabeth just looked at her husband was so proud of how brave he was because she felt like she was falling apart.
It took a little bit to find the wood but he had enough to make it through the night. The things that they learned on the "Outdoor Channel" were coming back to the both of them on how to survive.
They both learned a lot about each other in the following days. They learned to spear fish and cook it on an open fire. They made their living conditions a little bit better and it almost seemed like home.
The two of them learned all about each other's silly habits and also the way to get their breath fresh and feeling almost normal. Elizabeth was always small but now she was also toned. The two of them loved walking all over the island and they were lucky because there were no big predators on the island. There were snakes and insects which sucked but for the most part, the snakes stayed far away from the couple. They found fruit on the island and their favorite thing to drink was coconut milk or juice. They weren't sure on that but they loved it. It seemed like maybe somebody had lived on the island before and maybe part of it went under or maybe most of it because it seemed like it should have been larger. The types of seafood that you could get just along the edge of the water was really good because you don't want to have fish every night or crabs every night. They alternated between the two and they never went hungry. The hard part was there was never any boats around there. Elizabeth joked one time and said maybe they were in the Bermuda Triangle. They were lost at sea and never to be found. Jason thought about that and realized that maybe she was right in a way because the plane had lost its power and everything was going screwy on their way down.
"I am hoping that Emily is alright and the rest of the family is helping her with what I gave to her in my will. I didn't think that it would really happen and it happened right after we got married. I bet Sonny was shocked to see what I had done. I am glad that I did it but if it hurts Emily or anyone in my family, I promise I will crush Sonny when we get back home."
"I love it that you still believe that we will make it off this island. I pray that we are around the equator because we are not prepared for winter or hurricanes. Any of that wild weather stuff. Although we came here in March so I guess we are all set. It didn't get cold for us at all. I do love my sweater because it made a great blanket." Jason just laughed at his wife and the two of them did what they did every day. They made love. They had sex on just about every place they could find but the waterfall was their favorite spot to make love.
It didn't take too long before the two of them looked like they just stepped out of a movie. They looked great and felt great. They knew that soon they would be rescued but until then they were enjoying being alone.
