Thank you for all the reviews, I appreciate them because I was so nervous about posting my first story. No Elizabeth and Jason in this chapter but the chapters will build up to it. Read on. :)

He's Not Yours
Chapter 2

After her meeting with Jason and his guards, Brenda headed to the hospital to meet Robin for lunch. Robin was having a hard time with the separation from Patrick and Brenda wanted to be there to help her but she also wanted to know what was happening with Jason and Elizabeth. And maybe by questioning Robin, Brenda could keep Robin's mind occupied and get the answers she wanted.

"Hey, Robin. You ready for lunch?" Brenda asked as she stepped off the elevator and noticed Robin standing at the nurses' station.

"Yea. Just let me finish this last chart." Robin spoke as she jotted a few things down in a hospital chart. "Done, let's go. I need to get out of here."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"I keep running into Patrick and I am not ready to talk to him. And I don't want to talk about it right now. Ok?"

"Ok. You will not hear his name come out of my mouth." Brenda said as they stepped on the elevator knowing that by the time their lunch was over Robin would bring up Patrick's name. "Where do you want eat?"

"How bout Kelly's? I'm not in the mood for a big meal"

"Sounds great."

Brenda and Robin chatted about random things as they walked to Kelly's. Nothing too important but enough to keep the conversation going and off of Patrick. Brenda and Robin arrived at Kelly's and both ordered salads for lunch. The chit chat had stopped and Brenda thought now was the time to ask about Jason and Elizabeth.

"I met your friend, Elizabeth, today. She seems nice."

"Where did you see her? I haven't spoken to her in a week. I have been trying to call her but I think she is ignoring my calls. I know she doesn't want to talk about it but I am so worried about her."

"Really? Jason seemed to be able to talk to her about it. At least I assume they were talking about Nikolas' baby. She was crying when I first saw them at the park."

"Jason? You saw her and Jason talking? Were the boys with her?" Robin spoke in shock.

"Yes. He was hugging her when I introduced myself to the boys. They were laughing and playing and I wandered over to the boys to see what was so fun. Jason and Elizabeth didn't notice me until a few seconds later. Why? You make it sound like a big deal." Bingo, Brenda thought. There is a story and Robin knows I can tell.

"Oh, no, none at all. Where's our food? I'm starving."

"Robin, you are hiding something from me."

"Brenda, I am not hiding anything."

"Robin, I have known you long enough to know when you are hiding something and you are. So spill. There is something going on with Jason and Elizabeth. I could see it today but Jason wouldn't tell me anything. No big surprise there though. Jason doesn't seem himself and I want to know why. Most days I can't stand to be around him but I do consider him a friend and I need to know what happen to him. Spill!" Brenda said as their salads arrived.

Robin didn't know if she should tell Brenda about Jason and Elizabeth. It wasn't her story to tell but she had also seen the change in Jason since they had broken up and it worried her. Maybe Brenda's meddling could help.

"Alright, I will tell you but it needs to stay between us. Jason has worked hard to keep Elizabeth safe. Ok?"

"Ok. Safe, safe from what?"

"I'll tell you but it is a long story, with many twists and turns. It all started about 11 years ago, I think. I don't know all the details about their relationship back then. They became friends when Lucky was presumed dead in the fire. It was a back and forth for years. They both always assumed the other was better off or that someone else needed them more. They never put each other first so they never had a real relationship other than friendship." Robin spoke as she tried to take some bites from her salad.

"Keep going. I'm listening."

"Let me eat a bite. Anyway, there was a black out a little over four years ago. At that time Elizabeth was married to Lucky and Jason was kind of sorta with Sam. That night Elizabeth found Lucky with Maxie Jones and Jason found Sam with Ric Lansing. They were both distraught and spent the night together. They both went back to their lives but, and this is the part that needs to stay quiet, Elizabeth found out she was pregnant."

"Oh my god. The little boy. He is Jason's. I knew there was something about him."

"Ssshh. Yes, he is but by all legal rights Lucky is his father."

"Why? Jason loves kids."

"I know. But I think he loves his job more. To keep Jake safe they all agreed to say Lucky was the father. There were a few times that Jason was going to step up but something would happen and he wouldn't. Jason and Elizabeth met in secret for months until Jake was kidnapped by the Russians. After that he swore his life would never touch Elizabeth, Jake, or Cameron again. And it hasn't. Jason hasn't really spoken to them in almost two years. And I know it kills Elizabeth everyday. I saw her after the breakup and even though she tries to hide it a little bit of her dies every time she sees him with Sam. I can't believe after all she did he went back to her."

"Wait, what? What did Sam do?"

"Oh, Brenda, you have been gone way too long." Robin said laughing.

"Why?"

"This town will forget all that Carly and Sam even Lucky will do but one slip up from Elizabeth and she can never recover. Sam terrorized Elizabeth because Jason loved Elizabeth and not her but the second Jason and Elizabeth broke up all Sam did to Elizabeth was forgotten and she was back in Jason's good graces. Sometimes I wonder if the breakup permanently damaged Jason. I don't know how he could forgive her."

"So you see it too?"

"What?"

"That Jason is not Jason?"

"Yea, I have seen it, but everyone ignores it because this Jason is at everyone's beckon call and does nothing for himself. The Jason I know would never walk away from his son and not look back. There is something wrong."

"So what are we going to do about it?"

"No, Brenda. We need to stay out of it. You know how Jason is and he does not like people to meddle in his life. Even though Carly does it on a daily basis."

"I'm not going to meddle. I am just going to help him see what he is missing and help Elizabeth. She seemed so broken today. I know she just lost a baby she thought was hers but when she looked at Jason I could see her heart breaking and in a different way than losing a child. I have felt that, you have felt that. We need to help them. Feel like taking a ride?"

"I'm scared to ask where."

"To see Elizabeth. Before we can help her and Jason, we need to help her grieve over Aiden."

"I've tried, Brenda. She doesn't want to talk about it."

"But you are telling her it will be alright. For her it won't be. She needs to have someone let her scream and yell and cry and tell her it's ok to do that. I think that is what Jason was doing for her today. And that is what we are going to do now. Let's go."

Brenda pulled Robin up out of her seat and out of Kelly's with a mission to complete.

Read and review. Your reviews keep me going and enthusiastic about the story.
