Author's Note: Okay...everyone take a breath...and squee! Liz's baby is Jason's! You have no idea how happy I am, how incredibly excited and ecstatic I am. I stood in front of the TV for so long after she said that-Jason needs to wake up, yes but-did he hear her? I'm not sure but...yay! LOL...just had to say that, there really was no author's not specifically. But see-there still is hope out there.


Two days had passed since Elizabeth and Cameron moved into penthouse four, and things seemed to be moving smoothly. The mood had settled, minus a visit the previous day from Sam. Surprisingly, Elizabeth found herself annoyed-Sam thinking that she could just barge into Jason's penthouse (they were having a conversation at the time) anytime she wanted.

Still, Elizabeth found her self particularly happy on this day-she had just recieved word that the divorce was finalized. Not quite sure why, she had requested to have the day off and chose to go to the park with Cameron-a little something to celebrate. Afterward, she'd promised to take him for ice cream. "Mommy?"Cameron said. ''Can you push me on the swing?"

Elizabeth laughed and walked him over to the swingset. ''Of course, sweetie. Do you need help getting on?"

She helped Cameron get on the swing and then began pushing him. He seemed happy, content even. But to her surprise, he hadn't really mentioned Lucky. This of course she was happy about, because the less she had to talk about him was better. She finally felt herself moving on from him, and felt content in knowing that maybe Cameron was, too. Elizabeth had been pushing Cameron for a few minutes when she heard a voice.

"Well, look who it is. Elizabeth."Ric said, nodding his head toward her.

Not sure wether or not it was meant as an insult, she simply smiled back. "How's Alexis?"

"Better. I mean, she's not better...but she's getting there. Of course she's divorcing me in the process but...you get the picture."Ric said, watching Kristina and Molly play with a ball they had brought. "So how are you? I hear Lucky went to rehab. Must be hard."

"Not really. Everything's going good...so far. Listen...Cam...sweetie-"She said, beginning to get uncomfortable. "How about we go get that ice cream, huh? Sound like fun?"

"Yay...Chocwate?"Cameron said, climbing off the swing.

"Sure. But not too much. Goodbye, Ric."Elizabeth said, walking off with Cameron.


When they got to Kelly's, everything appeared to be normal. Elizabeth ordered them both ice cream and they sat at a table to eat. "Does it taste good?"

"Yeah."Cameron said, taking a big spoonful.

Elizabeth laughed. ''Well I guess it does. You have chocolate sauce on your face. Can mommy get it off?"

Sam watched them. She hadn't intended to. But as she did, she realized how much she was losing. She lost her baby. And now, she had lost Jason, too. She didn't think much about Lila anymore, but when she saw Elizabeth with Cameron, she felt her heart sink. It very well could have been her with her little girl. But life changes, and you can't do anything about it. She contemplated walking over to them, but knew she shouldn't start any trouble.

As Sam headed out the door, she came into contact with Jason. "Hi."She said, acting as if nothing had happened.

Jason shrugged. "It's okay, really. I wasn't looking where I was going."

"So...You're having ice cream with Elizabeth?"

"No. I was here to talk to Mike. About Sonny."Jason said, wishing she would move.

Sam sighed, shifting where she stood. "I'm sorry of i'm coming off as rude. It's just...we've barely broken up. And you-you're moving on already? We were engaged, Jason. People can't...they can't just move on from that."

"I'm not moving on. I'm just living my life."

"Right."Sam scoffed. "With Elizabeth."

"I told you already-Elizabeth is my friend. She's going through something right now that she needs my help with. I am not with her...I'm helping her. It's...It's what a friend does."Jason said, growing tired of talking to her. In that moment, he questioned why he had been with her. Sure, he had loved Sam, but it just didn't add up-how she could be so jealous of something that clearly wasn't anything more than friendship.

"Anyway, I should be going."Sam said, dismissing the subject. "I'll um...I'll see you later."

Jason watched her leave before entering Kelly's. "Hey."He said to Elizabeth, who simply smiled back.

"Ice cream."She said, wiping her chin with a napkin.

"Is Mike here?"

"I don't think so. Why?"Elizabeth asked.

"Oh, it's nothing. Thanksgiving, actually. Sonny uh...he wants to throw a big dinner for everybody. He didn't feel comfortable asking Mike himself, so-"

Elizabeth nodded.

"So-"Jason said after Elizabeth gestured for him to sit down. "How is he taking to his room?"

"I love it."Cameron said, laughing.

"Cam...remember what mommy said..."

"Oh-"Cameron said. Standing up, he licked off his fingers, wiped his hands on his shirt and then stared up at Jason. "Mister Mommy's friend?"

Jason tried his best not to laugh. "My name's Jason, Cameron...what do you need?"

Cameron leaned foward and tried his best to hug him. "T'anks for my new room...Mommy says you helped."

"I uh...I didn't tell him to do that. I just said that he should say thank you."Elizabeth said, the sight of Cameron hugging Jason warming her heart.

"It's okay."Jason said, turning towards the little boy. "You're uh...You're welcome. Thank you."

Cameron sat back in his chair and continued to eat.

"So, I thought you had to work today?"

"Oh-"Elizabeth said. "I called in sick today. It seems that there's a reason to celebrate."

Jason stared back at her, curious. "What?"

Drawing a deep breath, happiness was visible on her face. "I got a call. The...well, it's over."

"Over?...You mean-"

"Mmm-hmm. And for the record-I'm happy. I mean, I felt sad at first but...Not anymore. I just...I need to be myself, you know?"

Jason nodded in understanding. "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm going back to work tomorrow. I just needed to spend time with Cam. With everything that has been happening, I haven't gotten as much time. Oh, do you mind watching him while I go pay?"

"No, it's cool. Uh...just don't take to long. Look's like he's tired."Jason said. He found himself studying the little boy. He resemled Zander somewhat, but as far as his personality went, he was definately alot like Elizabeth.

She returned a few seconds later and grabbed her purse. "Alright, Cam...are you ready to go home?"

"Okay."Cameron replied, walking to hold Elizabeth's hand.

Maybe this'll be easier than I thought. It's never easy, but...but maybe I deserve this.Elizabeth thought to herself. Of course, it's only a matter of time until something else happens. But why act so negative?...I'm a free, single woman now.

"Okay...so I guess we will see you later, Jason. Tell Jason bye, sweetie."

"Bye."Cameron said quickly.

Elizabeth smiled, feeling content and happy. "Bye, Jason."


Jason returned to his penthouse without talking to Mike. In truth, he wasn't sure where the older man was, but at the moment decided that he wouldn't let it bother him. Instead, he decided to play a game of pool. Anything to get his mind off of things.

Sam actually talked to him, and he was able to pull away. The nagging feeling that he had had before was gone. He no longer felt an obligation to stay close to her. Inside he felt that maybe now, Sam was truly safe. She was away from him, which had to make life all the more easier. However, that fact only made his current situation more confusing. With Sam, having her away from him made him feel safer. It was something that Jason couldn't explain, but where Elizabeth was concerned, he felt even safer with her closer. The two had always been friends, but with Lucky gone to rehab, after the divorce, he knew Elizabeth would need someone to talk to. He was just thankful that he was the one.

Shooting a ball into the corner pocket, he felt distracted. The game wasn't quite right. He was playing right, he was using his favorite pool stick, but still something felt off. He walked over to the stereo and switched it on. Deciding that everything was better, Jason went back to playing.


"Well, sweetie..you're tired. You need to take a nap."Elizabeth said to whining Cameron.

"But Mommy-"

"No buts...You need some sleepy time. Come on, you can sleep in you bed."Elizabeth said, gasping. ''Maybe..Do you think that since your bed is a race car, you'll dream about being a race car driver?"

Cameron's eyes lit up, and he soon agreed to lay down.

Thankful, Elizabeth returned downstairs and sat down on the couch, exhausted. Flicking on the tv, she decided to get some time alone before Cameron woke up again. She was grateful for everything Jason had done for her, but knew that she had to do something for him in return. Afterall, I can't rely on him forever.

Deciding to take the night to celebrate, she called Emily's phone. Knowing she wouldn't answer, she left a message. "Hey Em, it's Elizabeth. I just...I wanted to know if maybe you wanted to go out tonight. I'm not sure where...I was just needing to get out...have a little fun. So um...call me when you get this, okay? Bye."

She hung up the phone, set it on the couch beside her, and sighed. While she hadn't intended to, she wound up taking a little bit of a nap herself.

Later on that night, Emily showed up and discussed with Elizabeth what they were going to do. "So-"Emily said. "Where do you wanna go?...The Haunted Star?"

"Closed for renovations."

"Hmm...MetroCourt?"

Elizabeth sighed. "I don't know..."

"Jake's? Hey...we could call Robin and Lainey...make it a girl's night."

"Robin's got night shift..and...Lainey..well, I haven't really talked to her in a while. Actually, I was kind of hoping to do something with Cam. I mean, you too, of course."Elizabeth said.

"What about Jason?"

"Jason?"

Emily nodded. "Yeah, Jason."

"I don't know, Emily. Just...where can we go...a place that Cameron would like, and so would we?"Elizabeth replied, sighing.

"Well-"Emily said, scrunching up her nose. "The only places I can think of are Chuck E. Cheese's or...the bowling alley."

"The bowling alley?"Elizabeth asked, surprised. "Seriously, Em?...The bowl-"

Emily laughed. ''Hey, you asked. So do you wanna go, then?"

Elizabeth shrugging, watching Cameron come down the stairs. "Hey sweetie...nice nap?"

"Yeah...Hi Em."Cameron said sleepily.

Emily laughed. "Hi there, Cameron. So...Elizabeth...Is the verdict in?"

Just then, a knock came at the door. Shrugging, Elizabeth went to answer. On the other side of the door, was Jason. "Hey...um..oh...Emily. I-I didn't know she was here."

"No, it's okay...you wanna come in?"

Jason nodded, and he came in. ''So...what's going on?"

"Elizabeth and I were going to take Cameron to the bowling alley. You know..kid friendly. Wanna come?"

"Emily-"

"No, It's fine."Jason said, somewhat amused. "I guess. If it's okay with you."He said, referring to Elizabeth.

She shrugged, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"Oh, come on Liz-"Emily said. ''You need fun. He wants to come...he could show his moves at one of the pool tables. It'll be fun."

Elizabeth laughed, shrugging. "You really don't have to, Jason. I don't want you to feel obligated."

"I don't feel obligated, Elizabeth. I was actually on my way over to ask you if you wanted to...well...celebrate?...Awkward, I know. So, are we gonna go?"

"Please, mommy?...Can Mister Jason come?"Cameron pleaded, better known in that moment as the voice of reason.

''Fine...Jason-"Elizabeth said, finding herself staring at him. It can't be that bad. "You can come."


What do you think?...Good? Bad?...I know the idea of them going to a bowling alley seems kind of lame. But trust me, I have my ideas. ;). Haha...anyway, if all goes as planned I should have an update up tomorrow or Monday. Thank you for reading!-Spread the Liason love. Now, Review...(as Cam would say)...Please?
