Thank you who continue to follow me on this journey for 'Liason'. Please keep the reviews coming! I love hearing from you! I hope you like this chapter. All reviews welcome! Thanks for reading/reviewing/following/favorite-ing! You guys are amazing! Writing this chapter broke my heart because there were so many emotions/feelings involved. You will see after you read it whether I mean in a good way or a bad way. I apologize if the font is too small. For some reason, the chapter of my stories that I've posted tonight have all been like this. I don't know why. I tried make the words bigger, but it doesn't make any difference.

Chapter 11

(Elizabeth is at the Port Charles University main office at Student Services. She's patiently waiting her turn to talk to the person in charge to find out whether her class from Chicago is available there. If it is, she thinks to herself, she plans to enroll there within the next couple weeks, or whenever the class is available, whichever comes first. When it's finally her turn, she goes to the lady who introduces herself as Mrs. Laurie Landers. They shake hands and Mrs. Landers tells her to have a seat in the chair across from hers, which she does. Elizabeth gets comfortable while Mrs. Landers is sitting behind her desk in her chair)

Mrs. Landers: (smiling) "How can I help you, Miss Elizabeth Webber?"

Liz: (smiles) "Oh, Elizabeth, please."

Mrs. Landers: "Okay…Elizabeth." (chuckles softy) "It's nice to meet you."

Liz: (smiles and nods) "You as well. As for the reason why I'm here…Um…I was recently in Chicago at the 'John Carter Painting School of Arts' for painting and drawing. The class was called 'Art Painting 101'. I recently came back to Port Charles, where I lived before I moved to Chicago a few years ago."

Mrs. Landers: (nodding) "I see. I'm guessing from the way you're speaking, you're wondering if that class is available here at the university?"

Liz: (nods) "Yes, ma'am. I'm hoping it is because if it is, I would very much like to resume taking it here instead of Chicago being all my friends and family are here…and because this is where I grew up."

Mrs. Landers: (chuckles) "I can understand why you would like to take the class here if it's available."

Liz: (chuckles) "Yeah. If you DO have it here, I'm not sure when the class starts again or if I have to wait till the next one starts. I was hoping you could please help me."

Mrs. Landers: (nods) "Of course I can! Let me look up all the classes that are offered here, being I don't know them all by heart of course."

Liz: (quickly nods) "Okay. Thank you so much!"

Mrs. Landers: "No problem."

(Elizabeth waits patiently as Mrs. Landers looks on the computer to see if the class Elizabeth is wondering about is available at the university. After a few minutes of searching the data base, Mrs. Landers looks at a hopeful Elizabeth and tells her whether or not it is available. After a few more questions, Elizabeth thanks the lady and leaves the office and then the university)

(She heads home and after taking off her coat, she heads upstairs and goes to her room. She hopes Jason comes by so she can tell him her news. She told him when she first came back hat she was gonna find out whether or not her class was available, from the urging of Audrey. Audrey must have known Elizabeth would go up to her room when she got home, because there was a note taped to her door from Audrey, saying she was at work, but she couldn't wait to hear whether or not the class was available at Port Charles University. Elizabeth was afraid to find out the news herself, because she knew it would've broken Audrey's heart if it wasn't. Audrey loved having Elizabeth back. Plus, she wouldn't have wanted to leave Jason now that they finally expressed their true feelings)

(She starts looking at a magazine that she started the other day, but never finished reading because she's been so busy. Just as she finishes, the front door bell rings. She puts the finished magazine in her garbage and goes downstairs to the front door to open it, revealing Jason. She smiles happily)

Liz: "Hi!"

Jason: (smiles) "Hi."

Liz: "Come on in."

(Elizabeth points her hand to the living room, where Jason goes. He walks toward the couch before turning around, facing Elizabeth. She shuts the door and walks to Jason)

Liz: "It's been a little while since we last spoke. I was kinda wondering when we would again."

Jason: "Yeah, sorry about that."

Liz: (nods) "That's okay. I figured either you were busy working or talking with Sam."

Jason: (nervously) "Yeah, uh, I was talking with Sam, actually. That took awhile."

Liz: (nervously) "O-kay. Um…Can-Can I ask what happened? What you two talked about?"

(Jason turns his head towards the stairs and then back at Elizabeth)

Jason: (still nervous) "Can-Can we…talk upstairs in your room? Just so we don't have any interruptions in case Audrey comes through the front door?"

Liz: (nods) "Yeah, sure. No problem." (starts walking towards the stairs) "Come on."

Jason: (smiles a little) "Thanks."

(They walk slowly up to Elizabeth's room. She opens her door, which was halfway closed. She gets to the edge of her bed before stopping, turning around to face Jason, who shuts the door behind him. He continues to look nervously at her. Elizabeth can tell from the express on his face that he's really nervous to tell her what happened with Sam. To be honest, she's nervous to hear it. She wants to know what happened with Sam, but scared to know at the same time. She's afraid that even though they finally kissed, that he's gonna tell her that he regrets it and chooses Sam instead. She'd be heartbroken if he did, because she really felt that they made really good progress. She tells herself that whatever Jason tells her that she needs to hear it, good or bad. She admits to herself that she wants him to choose her, but needs to accept it if he doesn't. She stares at Jason before finally speaking)

Liz: (nervously) "So, uh, what is it that you needed to tell me?"

(Jason walks around a little bit, nervously sliding his hands through his spiked hair. He then puts his hands in his pockets. He sighs deeply before finally facing her)

Jason: (whispers) "It's about Sam."

Liz: (softly and nervously) "Okay."

Jason: "After what happened between you and I…"

Liz: "You mean after we kissed?"

Jason: (still whispering) "Yeah. I was getting ready for work when Sam came by."

Liz: (nods a little nervously) "Okay. Go on."

Jason: (chuckles nervously) "When I heard someone at the door, I was hoping it was you."

Liz: (smiles softly) "I'm glad."

Jason: (clears his throat) "But, uh, of course it was Sam, which surprised me." (taking his hands out of his pockets and moves them around in front of him, gesturing) "I mean, I shouldn't have been surprised, because after telling me she needs time to think, I-I should've known she'd probably come by soon."

Liz: (clears her throat) "So, did you, um, did you get everything sorted out?"

Jason: (nervously) "N-Not exactly."

Liz: (confused) "Why do you say it like that?"

Jason: "I was planning on talking to her about us…you and me…but something changed."

Liz: (puzzled) "What changed?"

(Jason puts his hands up to his mouth like he's praying and sighs deeply. Elizabeth patiently waits as he puts his hands down nervously before he finally speaks)

Jason: "Sam…she's…pregnant."

(Elizabeth is shocked, to say the least. Out of all the things for Jason to say, out of all the news in the world, she never expected him to say that. She puts her hand up to her mouth and walks backward a few steps. She loses her balance and falls back on the edge of the bed. She completely forgot she was in front of the bed, but she's grateful that the bed was there, otherwise, she would've fell on the floor. She places both of her hands on her thighs. She looks up at Jason and tries to talk, but no words come out. After a few minutes of collecting her thoughts, she finally is able to speak, but only in a whisper)

Liz: "S-Sam is pregnant?"

(Jason slowly nods, clearly sad about the news)

Jason: (barely audible) "Yes."

(Elizabeth lowers her head, fighting the urge to cry. Jason sees this and it breaks his heart into a million pieces. He wants so bad to comfort her. He wished so badly that he didn't have to tell her this. He would've given anything, anything to spare her the news. But he knew she deserved to hear the truth from him. After what feels like forever of silence, he goes to her, kneeling down, sadly staring at her. He gets so many tears in his eyes that they fall to his cheeks. By then, she's already crying and sniffles. He softly wipes the tears off her cheeks with his fingers. She finally looks up just enough to meet his sad eyes)

Jason: (pleads with her) "Pl-Please, say something. Anything."

Liz: (shrugs sadly) "Say what?" (sniffles) "Sam is pregnant. It's clear what you're gonna do."

(As Elizabeth gets up from the bed, Jason stands up also. She slowly walks away from him. He gently grabs her hand to stop her from walking further away from him)

Liz: (sighs) "What?"

(She turns around, as does he, and they face each other)

Jason: (confused) "What do you mean it's clear what I'm gonna do?"

Liz: (scoffs lightly) "Jason, Sam is pregnant with your child."

Jason: (nods a little and whispers) "Yeah."

Liz: "It's obvious what you came here to do."

Jason: (shakes his head a little confused) "Wh-What do you think I came here to do?"

(Elizabeth sighs and looks the other way, crying again. Jason gently touches her face with his hand, turning it so she's looking at him)

Liz: "To tell me that you're staying with her…with Sam…and that whatever we had…is over before it even started."

(She gently breaks free from his grasp. She walks past him and goes to her desk, looking at the picture of her and Jason smiling in each other's arms. The picture feels like a lifetime ago. More tears run down her cheeks as she cries softly. She tries not to cry so much, but she can't help it. She feels like her hearts been broken into so many pieces that no one, not even Jason, can put back together. She feels like this is the second time her heart got broken. The first time was when her and Jason said goodbye to each other over 3 years ago when she left for Chicago. Now, Jason just got done telling her that Sam's pregnant, with this child. How much more does he think she can take? He slowly walks to her, standing right behind her. He gently puts his arms around her waist. She wants to fight his embrace so bad, but she lets him continue to hold her. Elizabeth leans back, resting her backside against his chest. She rests her head against between the right side of his head and the end of his right shoulder. Jason then rests his head against hers. She softly cries more and he does, too. After a few minutes, he breaks the silence and speaks)

Jason: (softly whispers) "I-I don't…" (sighs) "I don't care that Sam is pregnant. I know I should. I know I should probably do the right thing and stay with her being she's pregnant. But the truth is…"

(He gently lets go of her and slowly turns her around so she's facing him. He looks at her red eyes from the tears and puts his hands on the bottom of her cheeks before saying in a low voice, a few more tears falling down his cheeks)

Jason: "I want to be with you, Elizabeth. I've always wanted to be with you. I know that sounds selfish of me to say." (sighs and briefly closes his eyes, sniffling) "But I don't care. I-I love you, Elizabeth. I loved you before everything happened and I love you now…even with everything happening. I-I've never felt for anyone, not even Sam, what I feel for you."

(Elizabeth smiles a little in repliance)

Jason: "I will be there for her and the baby. But, I still want to be with you, Elizabeth. That is, if you'll still have me?"

(Elizabeth laughs and moves her head around a little. She briefly closes her eyes before looking back at him again)

Liz: (sniffles) "But, what about Sam? I mean, what if she thought you were going to be with her because of the baby?"

Jason: (smiles and shakes his head) "Don't worry about Sam. I will gently tell her that I want to be with you, but I will always be there for her and the baby…whatever they need."

Liz: (chuckles softly) "To be honest, I was hoping you would say that. I know Sam will probably be a little upset because she thought you would stay with her, but like you said, you will be there for her just not with her."

Jason: (nods) "Yeah. I just hope she understands."

Liz: (nervously) "What if she doesn't?"

Jason: (sighs) "There's nothing I can do about that. I will be there for her and the baby always. But you have my heart. You always have."

(Elizabeth laughs happily)

Elizabeth: (sniffles) "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for you to say those words?"

Jason: (chuckles) "A long time, I take it?"

Elizabeth: (laughs) "That's a little bit of an understatement."

(They both laugh before they both get serious)

Liz: "So, when are you going to tell her?"

Jason: "She said she's going to the doctor either today or tomorrow, depending on how busy it is there. I will tell her then."

Liz: (nods) "Okay."

(Jason gently caresses her face with his hands. He tenderly plays with her hair and places a few strands of hair that's in her face and puts them behind her ears. She smiles and closes her eyes, feeling the warmth of his soft hands. As she opens her eyes, he leans in slowly and tenderly kisses her rosy pink lips. After a few seconds, they break free, looking into each other's eyes and they smile happily and share another kiss. She puts her arms around his neck and he puts his arms around her waist. They both open their mouths a little so their tongues massage each other. Just as the kiss becomes more passionate, they hear the front door open downstairs. They break their kiss to hear Audrey's voice)

Audrey: (loudly) "Elizabeth, dear, are you here?"

(Elizabeth and Jason release their grasp from each other and clear their throats before she responds to Audrey's question)

Liz: (loudly) "Yeah, gram! I'm upstairs! I'll be downstairs shortly!"

Audrey: (loudly) "Okay!"

(Jason and Elizabeth both chuckle before he speaks)

Jason: "I guess we better go downstairs to see your grandmother, huh?"

Liz: (smiles) "Yeah, I guess we better."

(As they're leaving her room, he gently takes Elizabeth's hand into his and slides her fingers through his. They both smile as they head downstairs to see Audrey. As they finish walking down the last set of steps that faces the living room, Audrey notices Jason and smiles)

Audrey: "Jason! Oh, it is so good to see you again!"

Jason: (smiles and nods) "Nice to see you as well, Audrey."

(Audrey signals for him to come near her, which he does. She takes him into her arms, giving him a warm hug. Elizabeth smiles during this, happy that Audrey is so welcoming towards Jason. Audrey has always been this way. She's waited so long for Elizabeth to find happiness and she's always felt Jason gives her that. The way he has always been towards Elizabeth since the beginning, it has always made Audrey happy. No man has ever made Elizabeth feel that way. Audrey and Jason break free from their hug, both smiling. Audrey puts her hands up to her mouth like she's praying and smiles. Jason and Elizabeth hold each other in their arms while Audrey looks on happily)

Audrey: "So, does this mean you two have sorted everything out that you needed to?"

(Jason and Elizabeth look at each other and smile and look at Audrey again)

Liz: (nods) "Yeah, gram. We did."

Jason: (smiles) "Thanks to you."

(Audrey looks at him, surprised)

Audrey: "Me?" (laughs softly) "What did I do?"

(Jason shakes his head a little and smiles at her)

Jason: "If it weren't for your loving support and your acceptance towards me…" (looks at Elizabeth then at Audrey again) "…Towards us, we may never have found our way back to each other again."

(Audrey slowly shakes her head and smiles)

Audrey: "I didn't do anything, my dear. You two did it all by not giving up on each other. Even before when you two were first sorting out your feelings and then when Elizabeth went to Chicago and since returning and you being with Sam, I always knew that you two were truly meant for each other. Jason, I know you tried to move on with Sam because Elizabeth left, but when I did see you two together, you and Sam, I could tell that you were trying to be happy, but you weren't….not completely. But with my granddaughter, I can tell you're happy from the way your eyes light up when she's in the room. It's clear she makes you very happy, as you do her."

(Jason looks at Elizabeth and smiles and looks back at Audrey)

Jason: (smiles) "She does, Audrey. Yes, I tried to move on with Sam, but deep down, I knew there would never be anyone else like Elizabeth."

(Elizabeth happily looks at Jason)

Liz: (chuckles softly) "I knew you would never give up on me."

Jason: (shakes his head a little) "I never could."

(He takes Elizabeth in his arms once more, making Audrey smile even bigger)

Audrey: "I'm so happy for you two."

(Audrey then ends her smile, remembering Sam)

Audrey: "As much as I'd hate to end this moment, I have to ask."

Liz: (puzzled) "What? What is it, gram?"

Audrey: (sighs) "Well, does this mean…" (looks at Jason) "What does this mean for you and Sam? I know you two are still technically together. At least, that's what I last heard."

Jason: (sighs) "Yes, we are still together, but Sam knows now how I feel about Elizabeth and I think she's accepting it. I plan on telling her as soon as I see her."

Audrey: (nods) "I'm glad. As much as I love Elizabeth, I know you respect other people's feelings as well, meaning Sam's, so I know you will be gentle when speaking with her."

Jason: (nods) "Yes, I will."

Liz: "There's just one problem, gram."

Audrey: (confused) "What's that?"

Jason: "I just found out that Sam's pregnant…with my child."

(Audrey deeply inhales and exhales)

Audrey: "Oh, dear."

Jason: (softly sighs) "Yeah."

Audrey: "What are you planning on doing, if I may ask?"

Jason: (smiles a little) "No, you're fine, Audrey. I plan on telling Sam that I will support her and the baby, but I plan on being with Elizabeth."

Audrey: (looks at Elizabeth) "Is this what you want, Elizabeth?"

Liz: (nods) "Yes, gram. I know Jason will be there for Sam and I support him in that, but he and I want to be together. I hope you will support us in that."

Audrey: (sighs) "I know you two must feel torn in what to do with the baby Sam is carrying, but it should not stop you from living your life. Like Jason said, he will be there for Sam and his child."

Jason: (nods) "I will."

Audrey: (smiles) "Then I support both of you."

Liz: (face lights up) "You will?"

Audrey: (nods happily) "I can see how happy you two make each other. I just hope Sam understands that."

(Jason and Elizabeth look at each other nervously)

Liz: "Yeah, we hope so, too."

(Audrey then remembers something)

Audrey: "Oh, by the way, Elizabeth?"

Liz: "Yeah, gram?"

Audrey: "Did you ever go to the university to find out if your class was available there, the one from Chicago?"

(Jason looks at Elizabeth and asks what's going on)

Liz: "Oh, uh, with everything that happened, I completely forgot about that." (chuckles)

(Audrey and Jason both look at Elizabeth, waiting for her to speak)

Liz: (clears her throat) "You both know how I wanted to see if my class in Chicago was here in Port Charles?"

(Jason and Audrey both nod)

Liz: "Well, I went to the university and spoke with the head of Student Services. Um, a Mrs. Laurie Landers."

Audrey: (nods) "Okay. And then what happened?"

Liz: "The class I'm taking in Chicago, 'Art Painting 101'…well, the lady looked it up in the data base to see if the class was available here."

Jason: (nods nervously) "What did she say? Is the class available here?"

(Elizabeth looks at both Jason and Audrey and can see they both have hopeful looks on their faces)

Audrey: (chuckles) "Well, Elizabeth! Don't keep us in suspense, my dear!"

Jason: (smiles a little) "Yeah, what did she tell you?"

(Elizabeth stares at them both before answering them)

Liz: (smiles happily) "Yes, it is!" (jumps up and down a little) "She told me that it is indeed here…the class is also available here in Port Charles!"

(Jason and Audrey both sigh in relief. All of them smile)

Audrey: "Oh, Elizabeth, my dear! I can't tell you how happy I am right now!"

Jason: "So, this means that you will now be definitely staying in Port Charles?"

Liz: (nods happily) "Yes. I have no reason to leave Port Charles now. I will be taking the class here."

(Jason gives her a light kiss on the forehead and briefly hugs her)

Audrey: "So, when does the class start? Did she tell you?"

Liz: (nodding) "Yeah. Being it's the end of December and the next semester doesn't start until January 5th, the new class starts then. So, I won't be missing anything. I can resume taking it then."

(Audrey looks up to the ceiling and closes her eyes briefly before looking back at Elizabeth, full of happiness)

Audrey: "I-I can't begin to tell you how happy I am for you, Elizabeth, and for myself of course. I have wanted you back for so long. I never wanted you to leave, but I understand why you had to. I'm so glad!"

Liz: (laughs) "Thanks, gram!"

Audrey: "If you don't mind me saying so, I'm hoping you'll continue to stay here. I absolutely love having you here and I hope you feel the same way?"

Liz: (nods) "I would absolutely love it. Thanks, gram."

(Elizabeth goes up to Audrey and gives her a warm hug, which Audrey gladly accepts)

Audrey: "I love you so much, my dear."

Liz: "I love you, too, gram."

(They break free and Audrey looks at Jason and smiles)

Audrey: "I hope this means I will be seeing more of you."

Jason: (nods and smiles) "You can count on it. Thank you, Audrey."

Audrey: "All the thanks I need is knowing that you will continue to make my granddaughter happy."

Jason: (nods) "You know I will."

Audrey: (happily nods) "Yes, I do."

(Jason looks at Elizabeth and sighs)

Jason: "Well, I suppose I better go talk to Sam."

Liz: "Are you going to be okay?"

Jason: (nods) "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'll come by afterwards if it doesn't get too late and let you know what happened."

Liz: (nods) "Okay. Yeah, please do."

(Jason gives Elizabeth a kiss on the cheek and then goes up to Audrey and gives her a hug, which she accepts. Afterwards, he tells them goodbye and leaves the house. Audrey and Elizabeth look at each other happily and share another hug before breaking free)

Liz: "Thank you, gram, for always being there for me and supporting me. I don't know what I would do without you in my life."

Audrey: (shakes her head) "You never have to worry about that, my dear. I'll always be here for you and support you."

(They both smile and relax on the couch)
