Thank you for all of the comments and support. I am really enjoying writing this. I really don't care how they bring Steve back as long as it is as Jason and he gets back together with Elizabeth!

I do not own anything, but the story. The character and places all belong to General Hospital, ABC, and Disney.

Enjoy! :)

Chapter 11

"Of all people, I never expected to see you here, Elizabeth." Diane said as the living room door closed behind Max, who followed her through the door.

"Yeah. I didn't know where else to go. You have represented me before can you do it again?" Elizabeth asked.

"What happened you would need me specifically?" Diane inquired.

"You are good at keeping secrets that need to be kept and it um.. It isn't something that I have done. Jak..Jason is threatening to take Jake from me, he can't take him." Elizabeth says nervously.

"Why does he want to take Jake from you?' Diane asked confused last she knew Jason was content with the co-parenting arrangement that was in place.

Elizabeth looks at Sonny who nods.

"This needs to stay client attorney privilege. No one outside this room can know what I am about to say." Elizabeth orders feeling more confident.

"Okay, shouldn't Max and Sonny leave then?" Diane inquired.

"No, they actually knew before me." Diane gave Max an inquisitive look as Elizabeth continued. "The Jason you know today isn't Jason, I will call him Jakeson. Jakeson has somehow replaced Jason in our lives, but the real Jason is alive. I am not sure where he currently is. Jake is in a safehouse somewhere with my Gram and his brothers...at least my other sons, per Jason's orders. They are not to return to Port Charles until everything is cleared up with a rival mob family. The problem is that Jakeson wants to see Jake by 10 am tomorrow and I can't produce him. Jakeson is not Jake's father, but we can't let that be known yet. If I don't produce Jake, Jakeson said he is going to sue me for full custody of Jake. What can I do?"

Diane looked shocked. It took her a couple minutes to process the information Elizabeth relayed.

"Okay, so we need to stop Jas..Jackson from being able to to take you to court. Do we know the relation between Jason, Jakeson, and Jake?" Diane asked.

Elizabeth, Max, and Sonny looked at each other and collectively shook their heads no.

"My assumption is that Jakeson is Jason's twin brother that Heather was trying to play Franco off as. We haven't done any recent DNA testing. Carly did way back when, through a private clinic and stayed while the results were being run, that said that Jake Doe was Jason. Spinelli also created and ran a program using Jake Doe's bone structure to see what his face would have looked like before the accident and it was also an exact match to our Jason." Sonny answered.

"I will find a way to delay and petitions and such for as long as possible. Do we know how long we may have to delay?" Diane asked Elizabeth.

"No, about a week ago Jason said maybe 2 weeks and if nothing has happened we may have to regroup to figure out what to do next. I have a nursing conference next week that Epiphany and I are going to. We will be leaving tomorrow around noon." Elizabeth answered.

"Max, you and Milo are on Elizabeth to the best of your abilities. Max you will be to Elizabeth by 9 AM tomorrow. Elizabeth, Max will drive you and Epiphany to the hotel and he or Milo will be your driver for the week. I will have a burner phone delivered to you tomorrow to carry on you. It will be safe from bugs and is not able to be bugged, because of something Spinelli created.

"I have the information I need. Elizabeth, I will do my best to keep the boys with you." Diane finished as Carly entered the room.

"What is she doing here, Sonny?" Carly immediately demands when she sees Elizabeth in her living room.

Max makes a small adjustment in how he is standing to block Carly's path to Elizabeth. Sonny sighs and shakes his head, he has a guard who will be fired, while Diane takes a look at all the players in the room and leaves.

She is a friend and needs my help." Sonny answers his wife. He knows the fall out when Carly finds out what is really going on will be devastating, but he knows she needs to stay out of the loop. Carly is too close to Jakeson and Sam to be able to play it correctly.

"Why would you help this piece of trash after what she did to Jason?" Carly asks.

"Carly, regardless of what Jason says to you, he really does love Elizabeth I am helping her out like he asked me to before the accident. I was asked to keep Elizabeth and her boys safe against all enemies, which is exactly what I am doing.

"But you are helping her against Jason, Why, since when is he an enemy?" Carly asked backing down a little. Carly did remember her conversations with Jason before he went missing and he was very passionate about Elizabeth.

"Carly, I know this might be hard to do, but you need to pick your side wisely. In the end you just might regret your decision." Elizabeth said walking past Carly and out the door with Max following her.

"What is she talking about? Did that little wafe just threaten me? Why is Max going with her? What is going on Sonny?" Carly verbally fired at him.

"Well Carly, all I can really say is it's business." Sonny said and walked out the door.

Carly stood alone in her living room shocked. Elizabeth knew something she didn't, again, and Carly won't stand for it. She knew she couldn't get Max, Sonny or Diane to crack by she would get it out of Elizabeth, somehow.

"Jason, it's Sonny, we need to talk. Meet me in the back office of the coffee warehouse at 1:30 p.m." Sonny said into his phone and hung up.

At 1:30 Jason enters the office and Sonny explains everything that has happened with Elizabeth and even Carly that day. Jason is visibly upset, he walks out of Sonny's office without saying a word, puts on this helmet to stay unrecognizable, gets on his bike and speeds away.

"So, Elizabeth will be at a nursing conference next week. We will infiltrate and take her. Security has increased around her in Port Charles, maybe we will get an opening in New York. Jason must have touched base with someone. We have to figure out who." Jonathan says.

"Why can't we just leave them alone and run away?" A beautiful woman asks, pushing her long blonde hair behind her back showing off her slender frame. The woman looked to be in her early 30's."

"Anya, your father would never allow us to be free. He would send people after us. I need to prove I can be trusted to take care of you and the business, that way I can marry you." Jonathan answers her, before walking over to her and giving her a quick kiss on the lips.

After riding for a hour Jason pulls up to a tiny bar and walks in. There are only two people in the bar; the bartender and an old man. Jason sits at the bar and orders a bottle of whiskey. The bartender puts down a bottle of whiskey and a glass. Jason pours himself a drink and thinks. 'Am I making the right decision? Should I just show myself, bring the boys back and be with Elizabeth? We can deal with any problems together. I want to start my life with her and this isn't the right way.'

Jason had been watching Elizabeth at home keeping as far away as he can, but still able to see her and he sees that she is scared. Jason wants nothing more than to just hold her and love her she really is the strongest woman he has even known. Jason starts to think about his and Elizabeth's past from when she was so young, beautiful, and naive to their last conversation before he went missing for 5 years. That last time when he had to break their hearts telling her they would never be together. Even after Elizabeth told him everything she had done to keep him from Sam; all he really wanted to do was take her in his arms, kiss her, tell her he understood, and hold her forever. Jason felt a hand on his arm and turned to see a brunette standing next to him.

"Hello, beautiful." Jason said as he looked and saw that he only drank about a third of the bottle.

"Dance with me." Jason says grabbing the woman's hand, he stands, and pulls her close to him. They start to dance in a tight circle. The woman puts her head on his chest and Jason realizes something isn't right. Her head doesn't rest properly on his chest, she doesn't feel right in his arms. The fit isn't right his arms don't rest where they should, most importantly there is no electricity between them. Jason takes a step back and realizes this woman doesn't have brown hair, but red and is about 4 inches taller than Elizabeth and slightly heavier.

"I am so sorry. I thought you were someone else. Thank you for the dance though." Jason apologizes, turns to the bar and asks for a cup of coffee. Jason drinks his coffee, pays with 2 fifty dollar bills, and walks out of the bar. He gets to his bike, puts on his helmet, and decides to walk it for a little bit to see ensure he is safe to drive. Jason was in the bar thinking more than he was drinking for 3 hours and wanted to make sure he was ok to drive. After walking for 15 minutes Jason determines he is ok to ride and heads back to Port Charles.
