Elizabeth sat back on a bench, Jake's stroller pushed up against her, and Cam wiggling in her lap. The little boy was so excited. Since she had the day off, she thought it was a great idea to take the boys to the carnival in Benton, which is a neighboring town to Port Charles. What was even better, she could invite Jason to join them, because it was far enough where they were pretty sure no one they knew would see them and report back to Lucky. She was anxiously awaiting his arrival. The past few weeks had been wonderful. Every spare moment she had, she brought the boys to see Jason. To watch him with his son always brought tears to her eyes. But it wasn't just him with Jake, it was how he always included Cam and made him feel just as important. The two had bonded, and normally Elizabeth would be worried about Cam telling Lucky about his outings with "Mr. Jason," but she really didn't have to worry about that, she thought bitterly. Lucky had been scarcely home lately, and barely said two words to the boy who was supposed to be his son too.

All Lucky cared about anymore was Jake. He was paranoid about everyone and anyone who came near him. His accusations toward her were just getting worse too. He would criticize her parenting skills non-stop. It was heartbreaking at first, but she soon grew to not care so much. At least he had stopped asking for sex. She didn't know why, but after the last time he tried to butter her up and she turned him down flat, he stopped asking.

It was a cold existance for her, but she was bound and determined to make it work. She promised Jason, and she knew she loved him enough to fulfill that promise. She knew Jason would take care of her and the boys, but she didn't want him out of obligation, she wanted him to want her, body and soul, the way she wanted him. For now, she would settle with secret meetings with him and the boys. The thought of spending the day where no one knew them brought a smile to her face. To any on-looker, they were just a family enjoying the day. That was her secret wish: to be a family with Jake, Cam and Jason. For now, this would have to do.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of motorcycle boots on the pathway. She looked up into the shining eyes of Jason and smiled. He looked just as excited as Cam, she mused.

Once Cam saw him he slid off his mother's lap and ran full speed toward Jason.

"Mr. Jason! Mr. Jason! You're here!"

Jason smiled and crouched down, holding his arms out as the boy ran into them. He picked him up and twirled him around, making the boy giggle. When he stopped, he rested the boy on his hip, holding him tightly.

"Hey buddy. You taking care of Mommy and Jake?"

Cam nodded proudly. Jason had told him once that since Cam was the big brother, it was his job to look out for both Mommy and his baby brother, and since Mr. Jason said it, Cam took his job very seriously.

"Well it looks like you're doing a great job." He walked over to the bench with Cam in his arms, bending down to kiss the sleeping infant on the head.

"Hey there little man," he whispered softly at the baby. He moved his head and kissed Elizabeth softly on the cheek. He knew he shouldn't have done it, but he couldn't help himself. Spending the day with them, out in the open meant so much to him, even if it was in another town and they probably wouldn't see anyone they knew. Just the thought of doing something a real family would do together, touched him.

He stood straight as she got up, a slight blush covering her cheeks. They stood face to face, and he slipped a stray hair behind her ear, unable to keep himself from touching her.

"Thank you for inviting me, Elizabeth."

His voice was a soft whisper, the way he always spoke to her, and it always brought warmth to her body.

She smiled nervously, nibbling her bottom lip.

"Jason you've thanked me enough. Believe me, it's not nearly enough of what you deserve. So what do you say we dispense with the thank you's, and just have a great day?" She grinned up at him.

He smirked softly and nodded.

"Let's go."

He let Cam down and took the young boy's hand, then pushed Jake with the other hand. Elizabeth, feeling bold just then, decided that for one day, she can let herself enjoy this family, slid her arm around the one Jason was using to push the stroller and stood close. He looked down at her arm, then up at her, smiling.

To both of them, it felt right.

Sam walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a long towel. Her hair was wet and dripping down her back as she ran for the door, opening it to find Lucky on the other side, leaning against the doorframe, a smirk on his face. She smiled slyly.

"Why Detective? To what do I owe the pleasure?"

He stood up straight and grinned.

"Well Ms. McCall, I need to ask you a few questions regarding an incident last night."

Deciding to play along, she opened the door wider, stepping aside to let him in.

"Anything to do my civic duty, Detective."

She watched as he walked into her apartment, her eyes moving up and down his body. Closing the door she turned around in time to have him press himself tightly against her, her body pressed against the door. She moaned softly, her hands spread out on his chest. His lips were already working on her neck, licking and nipping ferociously at her. Her hands pulled the shirt out of the top of his pants, moaning his name softly.

"Damn, it's been too long," Lucky groaned

"Mmm, it was just last night, baby." She jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist, nipping his bottom lip.

"The more I have you, the more I want you." Lucky carried her to the couch, unceremoniously dropping her on it, then covering her body with his own, kissing her passionately.

Pulling away slightly, her breathing labored. She ran a hand over his back.

"Show me," Sam whispered.

She ripped his shirt open, causing buttons to fly across the room.

They had been going at like this for weeks. What was supposed to be a one-time thing, turned into a full-fledged affair. She had no idea what bull he was feeding Elizabeth, and frankly she didn't care. This was the sweetest revenge, sleeping with her enemy's husband, the bitch who caused her world to fall apart. And to make things even better, he seemed to be addicted to it now. She had in in her clutches. She was biding her time, waiting for the right moment to drop the bomb on him that Jake isn't his son. She wanted him totally dependent on her and what she could do for him first though. Just a little while longer and she could sit back and watch Saintly Elizabeth's world crash around her. Sam was sure Jason didn't want the bitch, and after this, she'd be nothing but alone.

She grinned and held his face in her hands, grinding her lips hungrily against his. Yes, it was all coming together.
