The next few months, the relationship between Patrick and Liz just got stronger. The two of them knew that they were headed for something wonderful and wondered when the bottom would drop. A few people had words about the two of them mainly Maxie because she was close to Robin and Matt.

Patrick told Maxie that she had to decide whether she wanted to be a part of Emma's life because Liz was a part of his life. "I want you to know that I love Liz and if you don't respect her then you don't respect me. I know that you and Liz do not get along and it has nothing to do with Robin. You are just trying to get back at her because of Lucky. If I keep hearing you tear her down in front of my child and myself, then you will not be allowed in our lives any longer."

"I understand what you want but I am not sure that I can do that. I love you and Emma. You are family to me. Liz doesn't care about anyone but herself. I don't understand why you can't see that. She has you under some spell. I will try to keep my mouth shut but I am not sure it will work."

"Maxie, this is up to you. I won't have you hurting Liz because she is also family to me and Emma. Her boys mean the world to me and she does too. She has helped me figure out what I want and need. She loves Robin too and she feels torn about that. We both do but I know that Robin would want me to be happy and she would also want Liz to be happy too."

"Okay. I will try. I love you Patrick. If you need me too, I can watch Emma for you this weekend. I know that you plan on having to work more now because you are short on staff. Just think about what I said."

Maxie left Patrick with something to think about but he already knew what he wanted to do and he hoped that the children would help him do it.

Emma, Cameron and Aiden were watching movies when Patrick came to pick Emma up. Liz had said that she wanted to have the kids altogether for the weekend and that we should have a slumber party. He had just come off a double shift at work but still looked like he could a few more rounds with a heavyweight fighter. He looked great.

Liz was in the kitchen preparing dinner so he had a few minutes to talk them. "I think that we should do this every day? How would you like it if I asked Liz to marry me? Do you think that your mother would say yes? I want us to become a family."

Cameron and Emma were thrilled with them getting married. Aiden was too young but when he saw how happy his mother was with Patrick and Emma around then he was happy too. The children gave Patrick their blessing on the marriage. "I am thinking about taking your mother to the cabin in which we fell in love and propose to her. I was thinking next month in time for her birthday. How do you feel about that?"

"Patrick, I say you could ask her tonight if you wanted too? It is up to you. We are all very happy about having all of us together every day."

"Daddy, Cameron is right. We think that both you and Liz deserve to be happy. I know that mommy is watching over us right now and she is happy too."

This made Patrick so proud of his daughter to say something like that. That was when Liz came out of the kitchen. "Dinner is about to be served. I want you all waiting for me at the table. I will be right back."

Dinner had been fun and everyone was telling each other about their day. They had pasta, salad and bread sticks. The children had milk to drink and the adults had a glass of wine. Liz made her brownies for dessert. Everyone loved her brownies but her pasta was pretty good too.

"The pasta you made tonight, it seems familiar to me. Have you made it for me before or have I had it somewhere else?"

"This is a recipe that I got from both Robin and Sonny. I think Sonny taught it to Robin and then Robin helped me with it. When it comes to Italian food, Sonny is the best. There are a few other recipes that Robin has showed me over the years. She was a great friend and cook. I hope this doesn't make you or Emma sad?"

"No, I am not sad about the food. I was just trying to remember because of the spices in it were unusual and I knew that I had it before but I couldn't remember when. It was great. I could eat this all the time."

Emma looked at her father and then at Liz. "I remember when mom taught you how to do it. You were making dinner and we stopped by. Dad was at work and you were having a problem with the spices. Mom showed you what to use and that was it. She also left you the recipe and a few more too."

"You are right about that. I think that I was having company over that night and your mom saved the day. She was good about that and clothes too. She always knew what to do or say. I wish sometimes that I could be more like that."

Patrick and Emma went over to Liz and hugged her. "Mom is smiling right now. She can see how much you mean to us and I hope you know how much you mean to me and my dad. Cameron and Aiden are great friends too and I hope that they feel that way about me."

That was when the doorbell rang. Matt was a bit upset because he wanted Liz to like him and not his big brother. He saw his brother's car there and wanted to start something. Liz opened the door and started to tell Liz how beautiful she was and that she should think about dating him instead of his older brother.

Emma and Cameron knew that this was going to be a big fight so they decided to take the air out of Uncle Matt. "Uncle Matt, I think that you have bad timing. My dad and Liz are a couple and you coming here and saying that is uncalled for and rude. I understand that you like Liz. Everyone likes her but my father loves her. You wouldn't want to stand in the way of true love, would you?"

Everyone was stunned by what Emma just said. It was like Robin went into her heart and told her what to say. She felt that her mother was in the room right then and wanting her father to be happy with Liz. Patrick and Liz could feel her too. This just made Matt more upset until he saw her. Robin was there in the room. She had a glow about her and she was very happy.

"I know that you were not expecting me but I need to say something so everyone knows exactly how I feel. There is only one thing that I want for each of you and that is to be happy. Matt, you know deep down that you love Maxie. This is just your way of trying to convince yourself that taking Liz away from your brother would be like winning some game. Love is not a game that you can win or lose. I know that my cousin needs someone like you in her life and that she is hurting because I am gone. She wants everything to be the way it used to be. I would love that too but it is something that is not going to happen. I know that my daughter, Emma truly wants her father to be happy. She knows that it is with Elizabeth. I also know that she feels the same way about him. It is alright for the two of you to let go of hurting me. I am at peace. You both deserve to find happiness and I know that you have in each other. Just be happy and don't worry about what anyone else thinks or feels. This is something Elizabeth that you should know. Jake is alive. Helena has him on her island. You need to go to Nicholas and ask for his help. He will help you find him. Jake needs his parents. That means that Jason is going to be back in your life but in a good way. Patrick loves you Liz and you both belong together. Patrick, I will always love you and Emma. Do not doubt that ever. I want you to know that my love is forever and I know that you deserve to have someone to love you too. Elizabeth is that person. You need to stand by her side when she goes looking for Jake. It will be hard but it will be so worth it. Just remember what I have told you. Don't ever doubt it."

Then she was gone. Matt apologized and shook his brother's hand. He then gave a hug to his niece and to Liz. "I am sorry. Robin is right and I need to tell Maxie how I feel about her."

Liz looked at Patrick and then she fainted. When Liz woke up she was in the emergency room. There was bloodwork done and everything came out okay. She fainted because of seeing Robin and hearing what she had to say.

"I am sorry. You all saw her too, right? If what she said is true, then my son is still alive. The other thing that she said is true. I do love you and you mean the world to me."

"We all saw her and I think that we need to give Nik a call. He will help us get your son back. I know that we can do this if we are together. Do you want to tell Jason or do you want to wait till you know for sure about him?"

"I think that I need to tell him. I just hope he believes me." The two of them left the hospital and went to see the kids. Emma was as excited as Cameron was about Jake. Aiden had only heard stories about his brother and he really was too young to understand anything right now. He just knew that everyone was happy so that made him happy.

I will call up Nicholas and then Jason. "Nicholas, it's Elizabeth. Can Patrick and I come out to see you. I need to ask you a favor and I need to do it in person." Nik told Elizabeth to come over. Spencer would love to hang out with Cameron, Emma and Aiden.

The went over to the island and went in to see Nik. The children went up to Spencer's room. Aiden stayed with his mother. "I need a favor. I have found out thru a miracle that my son, Jake is alive and being held on your island in Greece. Your grandmother, Helena kidnapped him when he was hurt in the hospital last year. Can you help me get him? I think it would be safer all the way around if you be our guide."

"I have heard some weird rumors about a small child on the island but if for one minute, I thought it was Jake, I would have gone right then and there. Yes, I will help you. Are you going to have Patrick and Jason go too? I know that you are going. I couldn't stop you if I tried. We just need to find someone to take care of the children. Call Jason and then get the time off work. We will leave as soon as possible."

Liz called Epiphany and asked her for some time off work. She gave Liz permission and then Patrick asked for time off too. Once it was all settled, Liz called Jason. Nik told them the plane would be ready in two hours. Just make it to the airstrip and we can leave.

Grams said that she would take care of all three children. She just wanted them to get Jake and come back home safely. Jason said that he would be there at the airstrip in time to leave. They got packed and the kids packed. They dropped off the kids at Grams and then headed to the airstrip.

The plane was ready to go when Jason arrived with Sam. The vibes were there that it was going to be a long flight. Liz and Sam were never going to be friends and it seemed like she was hiding something. Liz talked to Nik about where they were going first. He had called and found out that his grandmother was not on the island. He told them that he was on his way and that he had guests coming with him.

Everyone on the island knew who everyone was with Nik. They had a feeling that they were there to get Jake. Helena told the guards to let them get the child. She had her fun and now they were about to find out who else had helped her bring Jake to the island.

They walked up to the castle. The butler was there to greet them. Nik shook his hand and the staff came to the door to greet them. That is when an older lady came down the stairs with a young boy. The boy was Jake. Jake saw his mother and Uncle Nik. He also remembered Patrick and Jason then he saw Sam. He started to get scared and hid behind the woman that had been taking care of him.

Liz thought that Jake didn't remember her and that was why he was scared. Jason had seen the way that Jake looked at Sam and how she looked at him. He knew that Jake feared Sam but didn't know why. He was going to find out why and then there would be hell to pay.

Jake slowly walked over to his mother. Liz hugged her son and she knew that she had Robin to thank for getting her son back. She looked up and whispered, "thank you". Patrick also silently looked up and thanked Robin.

Nik knew that Jake being alive was a miracle but to think that his grandmother had kidnapped a young child and took him away from his parents was beyond forgiving. "I am sorry for what my grandmother has done. I wish that I knew about it sooner."

Jason saw his son, Jake walked over to his father. "You are my real dad, right?"

"Yes, Jake I am your father. I love you and I promise that I will always be a part of your life. Your mother and I have missed you for a long time. We thought that you had died. A part of our heart died when you died. I finally feel whole again thanks to you."

Jake hugged his parents and then hugged his uncle. He then saw Patrick and wondered why the doctor was here. "I am fine, mommy. Did you think that I needed a doctor? I remember you, Dr. Patrick."

"Patrick is a doctor but he is here for me. Patrick and I are in love and someone special to us told me that you were still alive. Patrick's wife, Robin died this past winter. We were both sad and he helped me because of missing you. Patrick was sad because his wife died. We were friends and now we are more than friends." Patrick hugged the young boy and Jake hugged him back. The only person he would not go near was Sam. He seemed scared of her.

Sam seemed frozen on the spot. Everyone knew that she did something to scare Jake. She probably helped Helena take him from the hospital. Elizabeth was so happy but in the back of her mind, she knew that Sam hurt her son.

Nik went to talk to the woman who had been taking care of Jake. He asked her about Sam and if she hurt Jake. "Mr. Nicholas, I am so sorry. Your grandmother, Helena threatened me and my family. You know that she can and would hurt us. Your nephew has been with us since he was hurt last year. The doctors made him better and then she kept him to hurt his parents. The lady, Samantha brought the young boy here to the island. She also has been here a few times to make sure that Jake didn't leave. She knew that he would unite his parents. I am so sorry."

"It is not your fault. Thank you for taking such good care of my nephew. I will talk to my grandmother and make sure that you are safe." Nik knew that everyone was tired but they needed to leave as soon as possible.

"Let's go. We need to leave before my grandmother changes her mind. Sam, I think that it is best that you stay here. I am sure that there will be someone here that remembers you since you are the one that brought Jake here to the island. Have a safe trip home, cousin? I will tell your mother what you have done. Don't thank me. I can't believe what you have done but I am sure when you come back to Port Charles, things will have cooled down."

When they were on the plane, everyone could see Jake start to relax. He was a happy young boy and looked like he was in good health. Liz knew that she wanted him checked out when he got home. She also wanted him to see a therapist because she was afraid of what Helena had done to him emotionally and mentally.

Jason was so mad that he wanted to hit something. He could not believe that someone he trusted could do something like that to him and Elizabeth. "I am so sorry. I can't believe that she did this and she scared you Jake. Elizabeth, I know you must hate me right now. I don't know how she could have fooled me like that."

"Jason, this is not your fault. This is all on Sam and Helena. She was jealous of our friendship. It is all over now. When we get back home, we will talk about joint custody. Patrick and I will let you come see him whenever you want. You can let him spend time with you and your mother. I should have been doing this all along. Just try to keep him away from Sonny and Carly."

"I will do everything that I need to do to keep you safe. Jake, I think that everything is going to be just fine."

Nik and Jason knew that it was strange that Liz and Patrick found out about Jake. Liz said it was from Robin and he had to believe that because Jake was there and alive.

They were soon landing in Port Charles. Jake was wide awake and could not wait to see his brothers. They were headed over to Gram's house and Jason was headed over to see his mother, Monica. Nik had decided to go straight to see his Aunt Alexis.

When Patrick stopped his SUV, Jake was practically out of the vehicle. He ran up to his grandmother's door and knocked. Cameron and Emma were there to open it up and saw Jake. Grams was shocked to see her great grandson at the door. Jake came in and hugged his big brother. When he saw Aiden, he was shocked. "Wow, what did you feed Aiden? He is so big."

Everyone laughed at that. "Aiden was a baby when you were kidnapped. He grew up like you did and so did Cameron." He saw Emma and thought that she was pretty.

Things were about to get more exciting in upcoming months.
