Coming Home: Breakfast

Thanks for all of the reviews last time. I gotta tell you guys, Sam and I are having a blast hearing your opinions on things. I've really only just had her to go by for a long time. Its fun for me (and her) to hear what other people think and like or dislike. Keep your speculations and thoughts coming here people!

I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I picture Sean Kanan as AJ. And Emily is Amber Tamblyn. So if there's any reference to AJ or Emily in the story that doesn't quite match up to the image that you may have of him (AJ a-la Billy Warlock and Emily played by Natalia Livingston) then just change it in your mind okay?

---------------------------------------The Docks

He had a son. And a wedding band. That was what Emily had meant. A lot had changed with him. And she wanted Elizabeth to hear it from him. Jason was married and had a son.

She knew she had no right to be upset. Or even surprised. Jason was amazing. And not to mention a handsome guy. What woman wouldn't try to get him? Hell, half the women in town all couldn't help but stare. They might think he was a cold unfeeling killer, but they agreed that the boy was a Greek god.

And she was the fool that had let him get away. She let a guy who was understanding, patient, and kind get away. Out of obligation to another man. One that in the end had only broken her heart, no matter how much he tried to prevent that from happening. She was ready to slap herself.

Elizabeth looked over at Jason, her mind clearing. He was giving her a concerned look. She then realized that she'd probably been standing there for a while.

"Nice to meet you Rider." Elizabeth said to the small boy, she did have to talk sometime. She studied Rider as he clung to his father. He was cute, that was for sure. He looked a lot like Jason. Same mouth, eyes, cheekbones and hair. They were both tanned. The only real difference they had was their noses. But other than that, if Jason were a child again, that was exactly what he would look like.

Rider didn't smile back at her, he was more watching her carefully. "Hi.". He saw how his Daddy looked at her. And he knew that he must like her, a lot. So if she made his Daddy happy, that was a good thing. But he still wanted to wait and see. Aunt Emily said she was really nice, and she painted pictures. But if she was a really good friend, then she would have come to see them on the island. So either something bad had happened or they were sorta friends. But Rider thought that his first thought was better. You didn't look that happy to see just a sorta friend.

She seemed really nice though. And she looked like she had been really surprised about him. Didn't Aunt Emily tell her about him and Daddy? She must not have, because Elizabeth looked like she hadn't ever heard about him.

"Rider and I are heading over to the Quartermaine's for breakfast in a while." Jason

informed her. "He hasn't met them yet."

Elizabeth smiled. "Well, they aren't that bad. They're just really loud." She told Rider. Which was entirely true. As if Jason couldn't have shocked her enough, now he was telling her that he was voluntarily bringing his child to the Quartermaine Mansion? What was he trying to do, give her a heart attack? If so then he was doing a really good job.

"That's what Daddy said. And Aunt Carly, and Uncle Sonny, and Aunt Emily." Rider told her, smiling as he moved his head back and forth for each name. He liked her. She seemed nice.

Jason smiled at the way the two of them were getting along. Rider was being more open with her than he did with most new people. And Elizabeth was smiling away at them. He knew he'd shocked her with the news that he had a son. But he couldn't get into all of that in front of Rider. So he'd have to find her later. "Do you know what time it is?" Jason asked her, suddenly remembering that they had to be at the Quartermaines at ten.

Elizabeth hadn't brought a watch with her but mentally tried to guess the time. "It was about 9:30 when I left my studio." She told him. "You have to go?"

"Yeah, sorry. Do you still work at Kelly's?" Jason asked, it would make meeting her somewhere easier. Then again, he knew where her studio was, so it wouldn't be too hard to track her down if he had to.

"Uh-hu. Still a waitress. I'm beginning to think some things will never change." She joked. Truth was she was thinking about opening her own art gallery soon. But why bore him with the details? He had enough to contend with being that he was heading into the war zone known as 66 Harbourview Road.

"Good." Jason said with a small smile, still mysterious as ever. Something's really did stay the same. It was comforting. At least she still knew some of him. She wished that she could say that she knew him the best out of everyone. But for him to have a wife, the woman must know him pretty damn good. She knew she no longer had that place in his life. That it was another woman's now. But she couldn't help but wish that part of him still belonged to her.

"Well, I'll let you guys go. Good luck with the Quartermaines, Rider." She again smiled at him. What would she give for that little boy to be hers?

Elizabeth was shocked at her own thought. What was going on in her head? She'd managed to keep a lid on all of her feelings for him for so long. But suddenly seeing him back in town and in front of her had caused her mind and heart to let them all go. All of the dreams she'd had while he was gone, all of the hopes she'd had during her time with Ric, had all been set free and were now ruling her heart. And now they were squashed. He had a wife and a son. He'd moved on.

And she couldn't blame him in the slightest.

"Bye Lizzie." Rider said with a small wave. He grinned at her and Elizabeth couldn't help but smile back. There was something about the little boy that made her heart leap with joy. And it wasn't even entirely because he was Jason's son. Rider Morgan was just a person who had the ability to make everyone else around him smile.

Jason nodded at her. "See you later."

--------------------------------------Quartermaine Mansion

Emily couldn't help but laugh at the Quartermaine family. She'd seen them excited and anxious before, but this was a whole new ballpark.

"What are you laughing at young lady?" Edward barked to her. He was in a bad mood. Lila had made him promise to leave Alan, Monica, Emily, Jason and Rider alone for breakfast. So Edward would get to meet Rider and then he'd have to leave. Along with AJ and Ned, who weren't half as disappointed as Edward. They'd opted for not coming to the Quartermaine breakfast.

"You guys. I swear, its like the president is coming or something. Its just Jason and his son." Emily said as she flopped down on the couch with a giggle. She was completely aware that there were toys all around her.

"Emily, if this breakfast goes badly then we might never get another chance with Jason. Or Rider." Monica told her as she arranged the toys in the corner. She'd bought all of the toys that a little boy would dream of. Just so maybe, if Rider was having fun, Jason might stay a bit longer.

"That's not true." Emily told her mother. She suddenly felt bad for laughing. She realized that to her parents this was the last chance they had to be in Jason's life.

"You don't know that." Alan said with a shake of his head. They could smother him. Scare him away. Or the whole house could erupt in fight and prove to Jason that everything that he ever thought about them was true. The amount of things that could go wrong this morning were amazing. And they couldn't afford any of that to happen.

"He wouldn't come here if he didn't want to." Emily told them quietly.

Reginald came into the room. "Jason and Rider are here." He said.

Emily jumped up and ran out to the foyer. Jason stood by the door. "Jase!" She said as she threw her arms around him. He hugged her back as Rider and the rest of the Quartermaine family watched.

"Go easy on Mom and Dad, they're scared of pushing you away." Emily whispered in his ear.

Jason smiled at let her go. "Hey Em." He greeted with a nod to tell her that he got her message.

Emily whirled around to see the little boy clinging to his father's leg. "And how's my favorite four year old?" she asked as she leaned down to hug him.

"Aunt Emily!" he yelled as he vaulted himself into her arms. Jason smiled at them, as did everyone else in the room. His parents were beaming at the sight. And when they spotted Jason smiling, it only made them feel better.

Emily picked Rider up. "Boy, you got big. What are you feeding him Jason?" she joked.

"Speaking of feeding...." Rider hinted. They hadn't eaten yet so they'd be hungry for when they got to the mansion. And for someone whose been up for hours, it was a long time to wait.

Emily and Jason laughed. "Yeah, I was wondering how the two world class eaters were going to tide themselves over for a ten o'clock breakfast." She said with a shake of her head. Truth was, she'd never seen two people stuff their faces with more food. Rider, being the little boy he was, often times ate so much that Emily wondered where he put it all. And Jason was on the thinner side, and generally made her wonder the same about him. It wasn't only how much they could eat, but what they ate. They were both willing to eat anything once. And after seeing the two of them share some strawberries and soy sauce, she knew exactly how hard it must have been for them.

"It wasn't too fun." Jason admitted to her.

"Jason, darling, I'm so happy to see you!" Lila called as Reginald wheeled her in the room. She and Rider hadn't ever met face to face, but phone conversations had happened a lot between the three.

Jason smiled as he kneeled down to meet his grandmother. "Hello Grandmother. Its good to see you again."

"Its good to see you too. I've missed you so much. Now, where is Rider? I've wanted to meet him in person for so long." Lila asked with her trademark smile. It was a suspicion of most of the Quartermaine family that Jason was her favorite. Not that Lila would ever say anything about it.

Emily put Rider down and he raced forward to his father's side. "Hi!" he greeted enthusiastically. He stood on his toes to lean in and kiss her on the cheek.

"Hello Rider. I'm very glad we've finally met in person." She commented as she touched his cheek.

"Me too."

"I'm afraid I have a doctors appointment. So I have to hurry along. But, Jason darling, do come visit me soon?" she asked as Reginald started to open the door.

"Of course." Jason assured her. He kissed her cheek goodbye.

"Goodbye Rider, you come visit me too, alright?" Lila said as Rider kissed her cheek in a imitation of how his father had done.

"I will. And if the doctor gives you a shot, don't cry and you'll get a lollipop." He advised with a serious look on his face. All the adults in the room either smiled or chuckled a bit.

"I'll remember that sweetheart." Lila assured him with a smile. Reginald then wheeled her out the door and to the car.

"Alright, I believe my nephew mentioned something about feeding?" Emily said slyly. Jason stood up straight and picked Rider up. They started towards the rest of the family. Jason couldn't help but notice the looks that he was getting from his parents. He was as adverse to spending time with them as he had once been. Just as long as he didn't have to include the whole family. After Rider had asked if he had any grandparents Jason had felt bad for keeping Alan and Monica away. Isabella had almost no family so it was basically his side of the family or nothing. And Rider deserved more than nothing.

"What do you have for breakfast?" Rider asked Emily. He was aware of the looks the other people were giving he and his father. He tightened the hold he had on Jason.

"Everything. There's a whole buffet." Emily told him as he and Jason walked to the table where it had all been set up. Jason set Rider up on a chair so he could reach everything. Seeing that Emily had him under control Jason turned around to the rest of his family.

"Hello." He greeted somewhat hesitantly. He didn't want a fight. But he also didn't want the impression given to Edward that the old man would have access to Rider at anytime. Because he didn't. And he wouldn't ever have that. But Jason was willing to be civil.

"Hello Jason. I'm so glad you're home." Monica said. It was taking a lot of self-control not to run up and hug him.

"You look well." Alan commented. He'd already took in every aspect of his son's appearance. He didn't look any different than he had when he left really. He was tanner and his hair had been turned more blonde, by the sun no doubt. He was slightly thinner. But his eyes were the difference from before. They were no longer cold and dead. Emily had always referred to that look as Jason's mask. Whatever it was, it was no longer there.

"Thank you. So do both of you." Jason said with a nod. He didn't really know what to say. Conversation wasn't one of his strong points. It never had been. And usually he'd had someone in the past to pick up his slack. But at the moment he was on his own.

"We try." Monica joked slightly with a smile. She was rewarded with a smile of Jason's.

"Daddy! They have bananas!" Rider cried out, holding up the fruit in question. Jason couldn't help but laugh. His son had a strange love for the yellow fruit.

"What kind of aunt would I be if I didn't make sure that you're favorite food was on the table?" Emily asked.

Rider shrugged in a Jason-ly manner and went back to stocking his plate.

Alan turned to Jason. "Bananas?"

Jason smiled at the mention of his son's quirk, "Give Rider a banana and he'll be your best friend forever."

"That looks like a lot of food for a small boy." Monica commented with a curious smile. Rider had chosen the largest size of plates they had put out. And every inch of it was piled high with food. It was more than even AJ consumed for breakfast.

Emily looked hard at the plate. "Yeah, Rider, that's seems like a lot. Even more than usual." She said with a skeptic glance at him, there was no way he was eating all of that.

"I was gonna share it all with Daddy. See? I put on eggs for him." Rider explained. The eggs were his way of proving his intentions. He didn't eat eggs at all.

"Thanks Ri." Jason said as he ruffled Rider's hair affectionately. Surprised that he had intentions of sharing a plate.

Emily walked around Rider and to Jason. As she gave him a slight shove towards a chair, she said, "Go, sit, talk. I've got Rider under control." And she gave a quick smile to her parents. Then sternly looked at her grandfather. "Grandfather? Is there somewhere you're supposed to be?"

Edward puffed his chest out and glared at his granddaughter. "Now young lady..."

Alan cut his father off before he could try to weasel his way into staying longer. Sitting down on a couch next to Monica and opposite Jason's armchair he sternly spoke to his father. "Father, you remember what Mother told you. And no one here will hesitate to tell her that you stayed and harassed Jason." He wasn't about to cut his visit with his son and grandson short because Edward couldn't behave himself.

"I haven't said hello to the boy." Edward pointed out. He did have a point, Lila said he could introduce himself.

Monica rolled her eyes heavenward at Edward's attempt to stay in the room. "Make it quick Edward."

Jason got up and walked over to where Rider was finishing up his plate. "Rider, buddy, this is my Grandfather. He is your Great Grandfather. He yells a lot and is kind of mean to some people. But he means well, part of the time." Then he turned to Edward who was watching him like a hawk. "Edward, this is my son, Rider. He is four and will not be around you very often. Thanks for introducing yourself. Good to see you. Bye."

Edward looked as though a feather could knock him down. And Jason was tempted to try that out to see for himself.

"What...you little.." Edward sputtered out.

Emily took the chance to steer the stunned old man out of the room. Before he could get a word in edge-wise she closed and locked the doors. She turned around to see Rider plopping himself and a plate of food down into his father's lap. Her parents looked as though they were trying to suppress giggles, and were failing miserably.

"I believe that is one of the first times in the past decade that Edward has been rendered speechless, Jason." Monica said with another half muffled laugh. Emily dragged over a chair that was between Jason's side of the room and their parents.

"Someone had to do it." Jason made a uncharacteristic quip.

Emily looked unfazed by Jason's small joke, but to his parents, it was practically words from God.

The two blonde boys dug into the plate with unchecked joy. The whole scene was something so normal that you wouldn't have ever guessed that there had been a time when Jason wouldn't have eaten in the house even if he hadn't eaten in weeks. And this was a fact that was painfully known to Alan.

"I promise you guys, the food won't run away." Emily assured them with a giggle. Jason looked up and gave her a mock glare.

"I know that."

"So Jason, how long to you plan on staying in town?" Alan asked Jason. He was holding his breath for the answer.

"For good." Jason offered up between bites of hash browns. Port Charles was his home. No matter how many times he went away, he would always come back. Now with everything going on all he wanted was to be home again. When he left town he never imagined that he would miss the hectic life of Port Charles. But he did. After a while the quiet life he lead on the island seemed a bit duller than he had hoped. And Port Charles was home to his family. Biological or adoptive. Either way they were all there. He wanted Rider to know them. And for some people, Jason himself wanted to know them. Alan and Monica included in that.

Emily knew that her next question wouldn't be a welcome one but she felt that she had to know. "And what about work?"

Alan and Monica turned to look at their daughter's boldness. She'd asked the one question they were desperate to know, but wouldn't ask themselves. That fell under a forbidden topic that they wouldn't go into. Not while things were going so good for this breakfast. No major problems yet. Jason seemed to be enjoying himself even.

Jason didn't seem to like that he was being questioned in front of his son on that particular topic. Lowering his voice to keep Rider from hearing it and also to tell Emily that she was slightly out of line Jason responded. "I'm not working for Sonny."

The other three people of the room tried to look calm but inside they were all beaming. Seeing a loved one shot or going to bed not knowing if they would be alive or in town the next morning was a hell that they all knew personally.

"Well then, do you know what you plan on doing?" Monica asked Jason cheerfully. With the news she had just received, it was a small miracle that she wasn't crying in joy.

"Daddy's gonna open a bike shop again, right Daddy?" Rider cried out. He turned to look expectantly at Jason.

"I don't know yet. I'll think about it. So, is there anything I should know about what's been going on?" Jason asked, he was still getting caught up with Port Charles. He may have only been gone four years, but in Port Charles, he may have well been gone a century.

"I'll fill you in later Jase. You guys are living at the penthouse again right?" Emily asked him. She could tell he wasn't enjoying being grilled.

"Yeah, Carly fixed it up. She made it look a bit like a beach." Jason told her, happy that conversation was back on safe grounds. He wasn't one for being questioned. Especially about his future.

Rider wrinkled his nose distastefully. "There are no beaches here."

Alan nodded sympathetically. "Yes, Rider, Port Charles doesn't really have any beaches."

"That's what Daddy said." Rider told her sadly shaking his head at the same time. "How are we gonna surf is there's no beaches?"

Jason laughed slightly at the confused expressions on his parent's faces. He pushed away the shocked feeling that crossed his mind when he realized that he was continually referring to Alan and Monica as his parents in his mind. "We'll take vacations to places with beaches, okay?"

Rider nodded as he worked on opening his banana. "Okay."

"So Jason, have you talked to Elizabeth yet?" Emily asked, hoping her voice sounded casual. She was anything but. She was determined to play matchmaker this time around.

Rider looked up from his work. "Lizzie?" The sound of his voice suggested that he liked Elizabeth. Which Emily was hoping was right. Jason could tell from the look on her face that the wheels were already turning.

Emily smiled at Rider's question. She had always thought that Jason and Elizabeth were meant to be with each other. And now there wasn't anything really standing in their way. With the exception of Ric, and Emily was fairly certain that Elizabeth wouldn't mind dumping the jerk. "Yeah, Lizzie. I'll take that as a yes by the way Jase."

"We ran into her on the docks this morning." Jason informed her as Rider chomped down on his banana. His son's eyes survived the room and settled on the toys situated in the corner.

"Wow."

Jason sent a accusatory look Monica's way as the older woman caught his eye. "Bribery?"

Monica tried to look innocent. She hoped Jason wasn't angry. But he didn't seem to be very upset by her little scheme. "I just thought he may like something to play with in case the talk turned boring for him."

Jason rolled his eyes. "More like if Rider was having fun then I might stay longer."

Monica smiled his way. He had read her thoughts exactly. That was exactly what had motivated her to get all the toys. "Maybe that too." She admitted with a sheepish tone of voice.

Rider looked at Jason hopefully. "Can I go play Daddy?" he asked, trying his hardest to look extremely cute.

Jason nodded and Rider leapt off of his fathers lap. Jason watched for a second before turning back to the others. He noticed that Alan's eyes were glued to him and him alone.

Before Jason could comment or shrink away from the intense gaze Emily started up talking again.

"What did Elizabeth had to say?" she asked, not quite ready to let the conversation rest.

Why was it that all the females around him were so interested in his love life? Jason ran his hand over his face before letting out a sigh, "I think I shocked her."

"No really?" Emily asked sarcastically. She had been expecting that. Hell, anyone would have been expecting something like that to happen. She hadn't told Elizabeth about anything. And she felt slightly guilty that she had let her best friend walk into that conversation blind.

Jason shot her a glare. "I had been hoping you'd told her about Rider."

Emily shook her head. "That was yours to tell. She doesn't know anything. All I told her was that a lot had happened with you. She didn't know anything."

"Judging from the look that she gave me when I introduced her to Rider, I'd say she knew nothing. I think she stared at us for a full minute." Jason said quietly. He glanced back over at Rider. The little boy was fully absorbed in some barnyard set that Monica had placed in the room.

"You really got a lot of toys, Monica." Jason marveled, changing the subject. Which was much to Emily's annoyance.

Monica smiled as they all watched Rider. "I couldn't resist. I haven't been toy shopping in a long time." She said. She mentally put out the fact that the last time she had toy shopped was when Michael was taken from Jason and brought to the mansion.

"That's one kind of shopping that isn't so bad." Jason commented without realizing what he was saying.

Emily's eyes widened. "Did you just admit that there's a type of shopping that isn't too bad?" she asked in a mock shocked voice.

Alan grinned at the exchange. His kids were acting like normal siblings, teasing each other. "Oh, leave your brother alone Emily. Not everyone likes shopping as much as you and your mother."

His defense of his son earned him a smack on the arm from Monica. She decided to keep quiet other than that one gesture.

Jason smiled back at Alan, thrilling his father. "I think all girls love to shop. You should see Carly. I'm amazed Sonny isn't bankrupt."

Emily giggled, remembering her former sister in law's spending habits. They were pretty hard to forget. But she wisely chose not to comment. "Bike shop part three, hu?" she questioned Jason.

Jason shrugged. "Its easy. I like it. Rider likes it. What else is there to do?"

Emily seemed to be considering his job options very seriously. Jason was almost anxious to see what she would come up with. It was going to be interesting either way.

"Well Jase, with a body like yours you could always go into stripping." She said with a grin. She waited for his reaction and wasn't disappointed.

Jason's eyes widened in shock. "No way."

Emily laughed. "Are you sure? I bet a guy like you would only have to take his shirt off to get the job." She continued her teasing. Jason as stripper would be something that happened far far away and over the rainbow.

"No way."

Alan and Monica laughed, enjoying the show. Alan came up with another impossible job. "With all your knowledge on bikes you could become a motorcycle sales person. Think about it Jason, you could tell a bunch of men going through a midlife crisis that they look ten years younger on the bike. Or tell other people that the bike really brings out their inner free spirit."

Jason shook his head continually. The more he thought about it the more he realized that he was suited for very few jobs. Mob enforcer and motorcycle repair shop where pretty much his only options.

Monica decided to jump in and have her fun. "Well, Jason, since you love leather jackets so much you could become a model. All the major leather designers would want you."

Emily couldn't contain herself once she started imagining her brother going down the catwalk. "Yeah Jase! You've perfected that moody stare that all male models use. You'd be prefect for it!"

Their laughter died down slowly. Jason was silently shaking his head at the thoughts of all the jobs they'd came up with. None of which he would ever take. He had a better chance of becoming Taggert's partner at the police station then he did of becoming a stripper.

Emily watched Jason. The conversation had taken a interesting turn. But the conversation from before was the one that had her worried. Was Jason angry with her for mentioning his work for Sonny in front of Rider? She couldn't really blame him if he was. Emily berated herself for not waiting until Rider was playing with his toys on the other side of the room before asking. She felt she had to apologize for before.

"Sorry about before, when I asked if you were working for Sonny. I just had to know." Emily told him. Jason could tell that she was sincere.

"Its okay. But you should have waited. I'm not telling Rider about all of that. Not anytime soon anyway." He sighed and looked back over at Emily. "I'm not working for Sonny. Maybe, if Isabella was still alive and we'd come home with her, I might be. But she's not here, she's dead. I can't do the things I used to. I'm all he has left."

Jason looked back over at Rider who was happily playing with the toys, oblivious to the world around him and how his father fit in. "I won't let him down. I love him too much for that."

Wow, long chapter. I know. Next one is way shorter, I swear. I hope you liked the Quartermaine/Morgan talk. I wish that GH did more with that storyline.

PLEASE REVIEW!!!

Liasonfan- I'm glad you're not bummed about Cameron. I wouldn't even begin to know what to do about that or him. Besides, this was written far before he ever came onto the canvas. Rider's mom? You'll see. You get little bits and pieces about her every once and a while. But then there's a chapter in which the whole story is revealed. I do believe though, in the first chapter, that Emily explained to the Qs that his mother's name was Isabella and that she had died in a fire a few months prior. Hope that helps!

Molinhas- Hooked? Ooh, yay. I'm so happy that you like Jason and Rider's relationship. This is a liason story, but Jason and Rider are just as important as that to me. So that's a big part of the whole story. We've got both in the forefront of the whole story. Thanks!

Thewretchedchild- I love getting responses too, which is why I did it here. Usually with my updates I haven't written them ahead of time and once I finish them, I scramble to get them up before I head off somewhere. But since I've got the time I'm doing it for this story. Totally, if you want to do it, do it. It's far from being my idea. Half the authors on here do it. Though, I've noticed in the GH genre that it's not done often (only person coming to mind is Shamira). Go ahead, have fun.

LizzieBella- I knew you'd all like that last sentence with Elizabeth still thinking Jase was married! LOL. You'll get Rider's opinion of Elizabeth soon. And Ric causes trouble for Jason and Elizabeth eventually. You'll see. Thanks for the review!

Chawkchic- LOL. I'm glad you're thinking of the ways I could take it. See if my way matches up with what you think. But be sure to tell me, as I love hearing where people think a story will go. I think Emily felt (actually, I know she did, since I wrote it...LOL) that Jason's life had far too many big changes and serious elements. Elizabeth just had the collapse of her relationship with Lucky. And now Ric. So she felt that Jason should be the one to tell Elizabeth about Rider and Isabella, not Emily. Hope that clears up the motives there!

Lily- I've impressed you!? YAY! Ooh, you've made my day. Seriously. And yes, it does crush her, as you've seen. Thanks for the review!

Claire- I'm glad you like Rider, as he's a big part of the story. I was hoping that no one would be completely against him, and no one seems to be, so I'm happy! You get to find out all about Isabella in a future chapter. Everything from how she and Jase met, to how she died. And I agree completely about the updating of people. I myself have a lot of other stories, and some of those haven't been updated since the start of the summer (I'm ashamed of myself sometimes...) so I figured everyone would be really happy that they get an assured update every week. Thanks for the review, you'll get more soon - actually, just one week from now! :-)

Saydeeatx- You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome! LOL. I hope the wait isn't too painful for you, as you're in for a week long one again. Thanks so much for reviewing.
