Over the next few weeks, Elizabeth kept to herself, avoiding most of her friends, including Jason. The stress of keeping such a damaging secret, of having to avoid the one person she didn't have to explain things to, was wearing her down.
Emily had mentioned in the locker room that Jason and Sam were trying to rebuild their relationship, even while Ric was causing problems. Sonny had said much the same when he ran into her on the docks, adding that if she needed anything, she could let either himself of Jason know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She let herself into her grandmother's house, smiling as Cameron ran to her. "Hey, sweetheart! How was your day?" she asked, hugging him tightly.
Cam smiled, patting her cheek with his little hand. "We're gowin' to a party, Mommy."
Elizabeth looked up at her grandmother questioningly. "A party?"
Audrey smiled, "Surely you haven't forgotten, Elizabeth? The hospital fall festival."
With a grimace, Elizabeth nodded. "I forgot all about it."
"Well, I promised Cameron I would take him for a little while. Would you like to come with us?"
Elizabeth looked at her little boy, watching her with an eager expression on his face. Smiling at him, she said, "Sure. Just let me get changed."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason looked up, his eyes meeting Liz's as she walked into the park, holding Cameron's hand. He had missed her tremendously, had thought of stopping by the hospital to see her, but Ric framing Sam had meant that he had to take her into hiding for a few days, and try to handle Ric. The thought of dragging Elizabeth back in to Ric's plotting had worried him, and so he had stayed away, to keep her and her children safe.
Elizabeth looked into his intense blue eyes, a feeling of warmth spreading through her just knowing he was here. She met his gaze for a moment, then hearing Cameron jabbering away, she looked away, down towards her son.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason helped Morgan throw bean bags, wondering when he could leave. He'd promised Carly he would come spend time with the boys, and Sam had been eager to spend some time with Kristina. He looked over, seeing Sam helping Kristina turn a huge wheel. He wanted to work things out with Sam, wanted them to go back to the way they had been. Sometimes he felt that was possible, and other times a part of him knew things could never be the same.
After taking Morgan over to Jax and Carly, he walked towards the far side, running into Elizabeth.
"Hey."
Their gazes met as she tipped her head back. "Hi. You, uh, you looked like you and Morgan were having a great time."
He nodded, looking at her somberly. "He's a good kid. How have you been?"
"Everything's fine." She gave him a weak smile, breaking their eye contact. "I've got to get Cameron's hat out of the car." She gave him a quick nod, walking away.
Sonny walked up behind him, following his gaze. "How is she?"
Jason turned to him, a frown on his face. "She says she's fine."
Sonny looked at Jason closely. "She needs some time, Jason. She has a lot going on in her life."
"She just-"
BOOM!!!
Jason spun around, barely registering the screams coming from the festival as he saw Sonny's limousine in flames, the cars on either side blasted. Realizing Elizabeth had been going towards her car, he broke into a run, Sonny right behind him.
Sonny stopped, leaning down towards a blonde laying face down in the grass, as Jason's heart stopped. Elizabeth lay in the grass, brown curls half covering her face. He knelt down, yelling for help, as he brushed her curls off her face. "Elizabeth, Elizabeth, wake up." He frantically called her name, not noticing Sam standing nearby as the crowd gathered.
Patrick dropped down next to him, listening for her breathing. With a relieved sigh, he told Jason, "She's breathing." He quickly checked her, cautiously. "She needs to go to GH now." As the ambulance roared in, he looked at Jason, who was holding her hand, his face pale with worry. Remembering Elizabeth caring for Jason when he was shot, he took a guess. "Are you coming with her, Jason?"
Jason answered him, unable to look away from Elizabeth. "Yeah, I'm coming."
He felt the hand on his shoulder, finally looking up to see Sonny standing there, as they carefully set Elizabeth on the stretcher. "You're going with her?"
"Yeah."
Sonny nodded, "I'll let Audrey know what's going on."
Watching as Jason nodded distractedly, vaulting up into the ambulance after Patrick, Sonny looked across the crowd, his eyes meeting Sam's.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emily raced down to surgery, the chart she dropped fluttering to the ground. She had heard about the bombing from the EMT's calling ahead, had heard they were bringing in two seriously injured, Maxie Jones and Elizabeth Spencer.
Patrick was yelling directions as they rolled Elizabeth in. Instructing the nurses on testing to check for internal damage, he was racing around his favorite nurse, checking her pupils, gently running his hands over her head, checking for glass fragments.
Maxie Jones was in the next room over, Alan and Kelly doing the same for her. Emily looked up, seeing Jason rubbing his hands over his face, his eyes never leaving Elizabeth.
Patrick had let him come in with her, instructing him to stand to the side.
"Jason?" She reached up, gently touching his shoulder.
"She was going to get Cam's hat," He said quietly. "Sonny's car blew up."
"She was in the wrong place, Jase. This wasn't your fault."
He nodded, bright blue eyes never leaving the fragile figure laying on the bed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The waiting room was full of people. Audrey had left Cameron with Nikolas, and was awaiting to hear any updates on her granddaughter. Lucky was on the sofa, hands clasped, LuLu next to her brother. Georgie stood against the wall, Mac restlessly pacing. Jax and Carly wandered around. Jason stood next to Sonny and Sam silently, hands in his pockets as he leaned against the wall.
Finally Alan came out, walking over towards Mac and Georgie. His voice was low, "Maxie is in stable condition. No surgery is required at this point, but she has a broken shoulder, and her heart has been beating erratically."
"And her baby?" Mac asked.
Alan looked at him, puzzled. "Maxie isn't pregnant. Dr. Lee double tested, just to make sure."
Lucky's head shot up, as Mac frowned.
Alan took Mac and Georgie to Maxie, leaving the others behind to wait for news on Elizabeth.
