PPB Part 2

Jason has been quiet, but never for this long. Elizabeth doesn't say a word either. She just allows him to be. They sit on her couch that she slept in long before that night with Zander and when Cameron came along she moved in with her Grams. She almost gave up the place. But she decided to keep it and come when she wanted to get away from everything. She's now glad she kept it. Jason walks around touching her paintings still not saying anything. He sits down, takes Elizabeth's hand and & looks at her face. She sees tears slowly coming down. She wipes them off his face with her hands. Finally, he thanks her for staying with him and not pressing the issue. He begins to tell her about his day right before her call.

He was looking after Morgan and the phone rang. It was Robin. She told him she had news to tell him and after coming to Lila's service, she knew it was the right thing to do. She told him that when he got so angry at her for telling AJ she left for Paris and later she found out she was pregnant. She thought long and hard & realized Jason's life was just as dangerous to her child as he said AJ was to his. It was then she made the choice to never tell Jason. It never really occurred to her she was punishing Jason for what Carly did to her or what Jason did to her when she told AJ, but she didn't want her child taken away like AJ's was. She made sure to keep up with her drug protocol & took additional medication to ensure her child would be born HIV free. Soon she found out she was carrying fraternal twins.

Anna and Robert grew up relatively happy, but one day Robert was playing in the park when gunfire erupted, and he was shot. He received a blood transfusion, but somehow the testing slipped through the cracks. He died six months later. She read all the papers to try to find out why and what happened that day. She soon learned that a man named Max was under suspicion in the shooting. They did a sketch from people in the park, but he was never found. They initially called it a "gang" war, but soon, they realized it was payback for a mobster's betrayal somewhere in the states. She never believed it could have been linked to Sonny. She realized it when she recognized the sketch of Max after leaving the service & saw him waiting by the car at Lila's service. She quickly left to go back to Paris. She met with Brenda and her mother and despite her fears, she knew Jason should know about his daughter.

She saw Michael with Carly and Sonny and wanted Anna to experience the same thing. Anna had no real constant man in her life and Robin knew that despite the advancement of medicine, she may not have a long life. She was also hoping that maybe Jason would turn his life around for his daughter. She was hoping he was better than Sonny. She wanted Jason to know Anna but would not allow her to go to the states. She did not want her near his or Sonny's life, but he could come to Paris. She also knew Jason would never kidnap his own daughter, but Sonny could not know.

Elizabeth has continued to stay quiet throughout Jason's story. Jason continues. He was holding Morgan thinking about Robert and never getting a chance to know him. Here was this beautiful child and while he would be watched over carefully, his life was more in danger than that of Dillon's or Nicholas or even Emily. He didn't get to be a father to Michael. He was always Uncle Jason. He didn't know or remember his mother or father, but he got a taste of what it was like to be a father. When Courtney told him of her miscarriage, he had to be strong for her, but again he felt a loss. He never really had anything he could call his own. Nothing to carry on his name or to brag about. He half chuckles and asks, "Elizabeth, can you see me bragging?"

Now he finds out about Robin and his children….his child. He was so angry with her, but could he really blame her? She was doing to him, what he did to AJ. Did it make it right? He says, "I've missed so much." He becomes very quiet again.

Elizabeth takes his hand and says, "all I can say is I'm sorry and I don't know what I'd have done if I were Robin, but had Zander lived I'd want him to know his son. But he was becoming destructive in regards to his feelings about Emily. I'd like to think that having a child would have changed him, but he died before any of us could find out. Sonny loves his children, but his life has not changed. Your life has not changed even though you
have been a huge factor in Michaels & Morgan's life. Every parent has a right to know, love & help raise their children, but not every child should live with the dangers you and Sonny deal with every day. Robin should have told you, but she was afraid of losing her children. Now Anna is older, and she wants you to be a part of her life. Be grateful for that and grab hold of it. I'd want Cameron to know his family, but most of all I'd want him to be
happy and safe."

Jason then looks into Elizabeth's eyes and gently kisses her. He takes off his shirt & slowly begins to unbutton hers. She puts her hand on his and wipes away his tears and says, "not now, not tonight. I want you to be in the now if this is to happen. Just let me hold you tonight and you can decide in the morning." They fall asleep in each other's arms and Jason drifts off to sleep thinking about Anna, Elizabeth & Cameron…..

Within minutes Jason's cell phone rings. It's Sonny. "Where the hell are you? Lila didn't make it. This is all your fault. If you had been watching over Sam, she wouldn't have lost my baby! Get over here now!"

Jason throws the phone against the wall. He looks over to Elizabeth who is sitting up looking at him with a little fear, confusion, and compassion in her eyes. First, he says, "I didn't mean to scare you", and his eyes turn cold and says, "don't you pity me!" He gets up puts on his jacket and walks out. Elizabeth sits there and then gets up and goes home.
