A/N: This is a story of the lies and secrets the citizens of Port Charles keep hidden. Most story line changes will be explained in the story or in summaries such as this one. Expect a lot of drama, tears, love, and even the return of a character or two. For the sake of this story, there is no Cameron, and Sam never slept with Ric, although Jason did break up with her.
Love has a way of throwing people off course. It makes them do things they normally wouldn't do, and say things they normally wouldn't say. Elizabeth Webber was very aware of this. She had had plenty interactions with love, and had finally settled with the love she thought would be the end all.
Too bad she had lied to get it.
Elizabeth stretched and smiled as her arm softly touched the man sleeping next to her. He woke, smiling at her and pulling her in close, his blue eyes shining warmly.
"Morning Elizabeth." He kissed her softly.
"Good morning Jason." She kissed him back, and rolled over, getting out of bed. He groaned and did the same.
"I wish we could just stay there all day," he said, as he pulled on a t-shirt. She nodded.
"But we have to work, unfortunately. I would rather stay in with you all day as well, but you know we can't." She pulled on a robe, and padded softly out of the room, walking downstairs to grab a cup of coffee.
Jason and Elizabeth had had a one-night stand almost a year ago. They had gotten drunk and commiserated over their ruined love lives, and had ended up in bed together. However, Elizabeth ended up pregnant, and, even though it was Jason's baby, she had said it was Lucky Spencer's, her husband at the time, and they had reunited temporarily
After the trial of Lorenzo Alcazar, Sam McCall, Jason's recently reunited fiancée at the time, had broken things off with Jason, saying that she couldn't handle the fact that he was hiding things from her, and was sneaking around with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth had been divorcing Lucky yet again, and she and Jason had rekindled their one night stand into something more, and she had moved in with her son Jake about 6 months ago. She was incredibly happy.
For now.

Carly Corinthos Jacks had been through a lot. She had lived through Sonny, for one thing. That man was never easy, and Carly had done her fair share of loving and losing him. He had pushed her away too far this time, however, and Carly had found a man that would never do that; her new husband, Jasper Jacks.
Carly smiled when she smelled the aroma of coffee. She opened her eyes and looked into her husband's, as he held out a steaming mug to her. She sat up in bed, and accepted it graciously.
"So Carly, I have a surprise for you," Jax said as he slid back into bed holding a mug of his own.
"And what would that be?"
"Leticia already has the boys at Sonny's, and I talked to him, they are staying there today and tonight. I thought it was time for us to have a little romance."
Carly smiled seductively, "Am I right in thinking I won't need to leave this bed right away then?"
Jax set his mug down and took hers from her hands, placing it next to his. "You are very right." He pulled his wife close and they kissed.
Carly giggled softly. "Oh Jax. Let's make that baby we've been planning on."
"There's nothing I'd rather do, Carly. I love you."
"I love you, too," she whispered in between kisses.
And she meant it…she did love Jax. It didn't matter that they had had some rough times. They would get through it. Carly always found a way to be with the man she wanted. And that man was Jax.
For now.
