Chapter 14

"... our first gift basket from Edible Arrangements …. Milo Giambetti" he said while the mob guard looked like he wanted to disappear.

As they went through, Georgie ended up winning a camping trip for four to Lake Placid, Monica a charm bracelet from the local jewelers, and Diane Miller ended up winning an expensive Nikon digital camera from the photoshop and then they announced that Patrick Drake had won a free spa day at the Metrocourt to the amusement of several of the nursing staff.

"The last door prize, courtesy of an anonymous donor is this large Longenberger basket full of home electronics." announced Alan who asked Bobbie Jones to pull the winner's name. As she lifted out the ticket, the head of staff looked and said "Steven Webber."

Groaning, Steven went to pick up the basket determined to give it to his sister. Looking inside, he was shocked at what there was. An Ipod, an Iphone as well as a top of the line lap top computer. When he pulled out the GPS, then the small Kindle reader, he decided to still give Liz most of it but made plans to keep the GPS and the Iphone.

"We are also presenting to the couples who chose to agree to see each other again after their last date, a dinner for two here at the country club plus tickets to the opening of the Port Charles Ballet's production of Swan Lake."

Going through the list, he announced Of our final couples, six checked they would be interested in going on another date with that person. Their names have been placed in the barrel and I will ask for Robin Scorpio to pull the winner out."

Robin did then with a mischievous grin said. "Drs Alan and Monica Quartermaine."

Amid Edward's complaint that he certainly hoped the married couple wanted to see one another again, there was a bit of laughter when Alan saw Monica shaking her head. While some couples danced, many started to head for the doors. Hospital staff with early mornings and others not wanting to test their luck. After all an event without trouble in Port Charles was rare.

"Georgie, I was hoping we could talk." said Dillon as he walked over to his ex-wife.

Looking at him and knowing it was time, she suggested "Why don't you meet me at Jake's in a half hour."

Rushing home to change, she walked into Jake's and saw a few of the other enrollees from the party then winced when she saw the look on Lulu's face and knew that she was pissed about something. "Dillon, let's grab that table over in the corner, okay?"

Once seated, he offered to buy her something to drink. "A coke."

Setting down their drinks after talking to the bartender he said. "I was hoping you would be one of my dates tonight. We could have used it as a spring board to move forward, to get past all of our mistakes."

Looking into his pleading eyes, Georgie hated to do this, but knew she had to. "Dillon, I am sorry, but our time has passed. I forgave you for Lulu, but honestly I haven't forgotten."

"B-but, I love you." he said softly.

"I love you too, but the way you love someone for the past." she said gently. "We both know that if you hadn't been dying, we wouldn't have gotten married. It was a mistake made in the heat of the moment. Mac was right about that."

The words of Claudia Corinthos echoing in his ears, he asked "Is there someone else?"

"Right now?" she asked. "No, but there is more the idea of someone else. I know what I was for my future and you just aren't it. We are the past... I am sorry." Standing she watched him scramble out of the booth as if to follow her.

Wiping the tear that was trailing down his cheek, Georgie kissed the wet cheek then said. "I wish you well."

Settling back into the booth, Dillon sat there staring at his 7Up. He finally got that it was over. Looking up at the sound of light footsteps, he saw the look of pity on Maxie's face and said "Don't, just don't. I know you hate me..."

"I don't hate you." she said. "I do on the other hand, hate your hair, but... Dillon, I am sorry. You may have deserved what just happened for the way you treated my sister, but I know it still hurts."

Walking away, she hugged Dante and said "I know I said I wanted to go out but I really think I need to be home for Georgie right now. And don't even think of telling Johnny, she is going to need a few days to wallow in guilt."

"Explain." he ordered a bit confused but worried about his friend and the girl he had come to care about..

"When you dump a guy, ever someone like Dillon, you feel bad especially when you have feelings for someone else." she said. When he had drove her home, he kissed her goodnight then whispered. "Sleep tight."

Nodding, she entered and went up the stairs to Georgie's room expecting to see her sister crying. Instead she had out her text books and was working on something. "Don't you EVER do the normal things. You are supposed to be crying right now."

Genuinely surprised, Georgie looked up and said "Why? I was over Dillon in February. I had no idea until tonight he still had feelings for me though."

"Oh." said Maxie feeling deflated. Looking at her sister she said. "I came home to wallow with you."

"Instead tell me about your dates." said Georgie closing her books and going over to crawl into her bed. "Who did you have?"

"Dr. Quartermaine." Maxie said laughing. "I swear the man didn't say a word the entire time."

"Did you give him a chance?" she asked knowingly. "Who was next?"

"Cooper Barrett, the guy from the safe. He is related to Brenda, distantly. But he was a little boring, then I had Dante." she said in a dreamy tone as she remembered her evening. "So who did you have?"

"Jason Morgan." said Georgie to the amusement of Maxie who said. "Well the personality test did say you have an adventurous streak. How did it go?"

"Weird, I insulted Carly, then Sonny. Finally we heard the bell and he stopped on his way out and glared at someone." she said a bit mystified. "then I heard from Dante about your date. And Johnny was my last date."

Looking at her sister she asked. "How did that one go?"

"I was mean to him," she said grimacing. "It was like I couldn't help myself. I told him I wanted to eject him, that I wanted to bite him and that my favorite heroine was Miss Piggy because she could use karate."

"Okay, I have a dirty mind." said Maxie giggling. "I just went someplace very dirty with the first two."

"MAXIE JONES!" shouted Georgie then she said. "I was lying to him, I didn't want to bite him, I miss him, I miss talking to him, yet when I see him, I see the entire spectrum of red."

"For what he said at the station?" she inquired.

"No, I was mad at the time, but I don't think he meant it and that is what hurts."

Jason was helping Elizabeth into the truck then turned to Francis and said "Did you get it?"

Handing Jason the box, Francis said "I am heading over to Sonny's to help keep an eye on Cameron. Good luck."

"Hopefully luck won't be needed." he said then smiled when he saw Elizabeth glaring at her chest again. "She does that a lot."

"How would you feel if you suddenly grew two sizes?" he asked.

"Funny." said Jason growling. "Look, after you check on things, head over to the safe house where they are holding Sam please."

Driving away, Jason asked if Elizabeth was tired only to be told she was feeling fine. "I have had a burst of sudden energy."

Arriving out at the safe house, Jason was helping her inside when his phone rang. Glaring at it, he snapped "Morgan."

"Just wanted to let you know, Carly is tearing up the town looking for our two guests."

"Both of them?" he asked. He had ordered a guard to grab Spinelli on Milo's account of something he had overheard but if Carly was looking for Sam that wasn't good.

"She thinks Sam was your date." admitted Sonny. "Do you want me to deal with them."

"No, both of them are mine. You deal with your ex-wife but away from the house. I don't want her near Cameron." he said. Hanging up, he followed the trail of Elizabeth wrap then her shoes. Entering the bedroom, he stood there his jaw dropping at what he saw. "E- er- uh Elizabeth?"

Turning, she saw his eyes travel southwards. She might have been unhappy if they had stopped at her now naked breasts but they didn't. They continued on down to her belly then she felt a familiar tug when they turned hotter before traveling down her legs. She watched as he licked his lips then asked. "What is on your toe?"

Lifting her foot, she said. "A toe ring. It has always been too big for me but Em talked me into buying it."

Feeling his plans going to heck, Jason didn't care as he went to remove his tie. "I think I am a little over dressed."

"No, leave the tie on." she said then moved in closer to stand his collar up and removed the tie from around it she gave a quick grin when she felt his hands settling on her waist before the fingers curved around to her bare bum.

Unbuttoning the shirt, then pushing both it and the suit jacket onto the floor, she undid the black leather belt and quickly grabbing the buckle, pulled it out of the loops and tossed it on the dresser.

Undoing the button, then sliding down the zipper, she felt her breath catch as she had some difficulty as his body had hardened in reaction to her lack of clothing. Easing past down the zipper to its base, Elizabeth wrapped her other hand around him and smiled at him when she saw his eyes flutter from the effort it was taking not to come.

Keeping to her plan, she placed her hands inside the waistband of his boxer briefs and holding his erection close to his body, she eased the briefs and dress pants down to his knees. Removing both hands, she felt his cock graze her own nakedness then felt her body reacting to his sudden inability to breath.

"Elizabeth?" he asked opening his eyes and watching as she just stood there staring at him. Worried she was going to stop, he felt her hand traveling up his chest instead.

"I forgot to tell you to kick off your shoes." she said stepping back then Jason swallowed the sudden over abundance of saliva in his mouth when she dropped to her knees and untied his dress shoes. Then ordered him to kick them off. Doing so, he stepped out of his pants, then watched as Liz picked up the clothes then slowly stood.

"I can do that." he said going to take them away but his hands were pushed back as she went to the closet. Jason was a bit upset when she disappeared from eye sight for a few minutes but relaxed when she came back into view carrying a robe which she tossed on the dresser.

Turning around to keep her in view, he was confused when she didn't approach him but instead went to the window. "Elizabeth?"

"Shshh." she said looking back at him as she reached for something on the ledge just out of sight then the lights went dim. Turning, she stopped and stood there admiring the naked man in the middle of the room. "Wow, you have no idea how beautiful you are, do you?"

"I could say the same thing about you." he said walking over to her. Reaching for her hands which were behind her back, he was amused when she clasped them then tightened her grip. Looking down at the breasts that were now jutting out with strawberry colored points, Jason couldn't resist as he dropped to his knees and kissed them.

"NO way, mister." said a laughing Elizabeth as he went into pleading mode by pulling her even closer and gently sucking on one of the turgid points. Moaning, she started to hold his head closer then pulled back a bit, biting her lip to keep from giving in to the additional sensations that was causing. "You had your chance, you didn't take it, so I am in charge, mister."

As Jason finally comprehended what was going on, he went to stand then kissed her belly whispering to his son for him to close his eyes. "You do not want to see what your Mommy is up to."

With a small laugh at Jason's nonsense, Elizabeth whispered "I love you and I am done waiting for you to make the first move. At the rate we are going our son is going to be in college be..." Jason's phone was ringing, glaring at the closet she said "Don't!"

She could see his regret as he reluctantly walked towards to closet. Picking up the robe she had intended to use later, Elizabeth was trying to wipe the tears from her face while shoving her arms into it then stopped stunned at what she heard.

"Thanks, Francis. We uh,..." she walked to the closet door and saw Jason's embarrassment about something then heard the rest. "No, we are not naked, Corelli, I am still wearing my tie." he snapped not mentioning it was all he was wearing. "Just take it back to the penthouse, please."

When he hung up and turned around to see the hastily wiped tears, he pulled her into his arms. "I am in total agreement with what you just said. I uh, I had something else planned. Poor Francis has been waiting for us to arrive. He called because he was worried when we didn't show up."

"Show up where and why did you stop here if you made plans elsewhere?" she asked.

"I forgot something when I was here earlier." he said then went to the living room and brought back a small box after hiding the second little one. "I had intended on giving you this later."

She eased open the box and gasped when she saw her red glass paperweight whole again. "Jason?"

"I had Diane supervise one of our men taking it to the same shop so he could remelt it." he said. "The studio, I sort of had it set up for us tonight."

Giggling, she said. "Until I had the brilliant idea of getting naked and seducing you."

Blushing he said "Trust me, I am more than willing to continue with what was going on, but since Francis knew I was coming here first... I didn't want him rushing in thinking we had been ..."

"Oh god, he has to know what we are doing here." she cried out in embarrassment. Then looked at him standing there naked except for the tie then started laughing until she had to grab her stomach. "Oh, I am sorry, but I mean, I well, I was going to use that tie to have my way with you."

"You mean like page 215 in your book. The cravet and the bedpost?" he asked then saw her expression. "I saw it on your dresser. I was going to ask you about that."

Now that her whole body was flushed with embarrassment, Elizabeth tied the rope even tighter while Jason walked over then removed her hand so he could undo it then leaned in to say "I was a bit more interested in the scene before."

Elizabeth realized he had gotten rid of the robe, she listened in awe as Jason kept telling her almost word for word how the story had gone. "She faced the door her breasts heavy with want and her nipples tightening unbearably. She felt his tongue on her back..."

Elizabeth moaned when he started to follow the scene he was describing his hands were leading the way to her legs, he read the next line than gently nipped her rear causing her to groan and close her eyes. He worked his way back up to the small of her back and then pressed a warn kiss there.

"Sirac was on his knees now as he turned her to face him." Elizabeth was certain her own knees were about to give way when he followed the storyline. As she looked down into his heated blue eyes, she asked "Jason what are you doing?"

"Loving you." he said as he kissed her pelvis bone on both sides of her stomach. As he moved his hands up from her hips to her waist then cupped her breasts he gave a quick laugh then said. "In the story she was smaller, wasn't she. We will have to do this again when our son is no longer in need of your body."

Elizabeth felt her insides liquify at those words but then Jason switched back to the book and guiding her hands to her breasts said "Stay like that, rub the tips for me. I want to see you pleasuring yourself."

Barely holding it together as he leaned forward and kissed her stomach, she followed his instructions just like in the book and felt her tips reacting to what was going on. Jason reigned gentle quick kisses as he moved down past their son and gave a quick flick of his tongue to her belly button.

Looking up from his knees at the incredible sight of Elizabeth's need, Jason moved his hands to her thighs and quickly spread his fingers out to reach as far as he could, his thumbs both reached her clit. Feeling Elizabeth react, Jason teased her with his fingers, going completely off scrip as he fought himself for control.

When Elizabeth who didn't realize what had happened and moaned Jason's name as he lowered his head and pulled her closer so he could taste her. Licking and sucking on the small nub, Jason could hear Elizabeth's barely coherent words and moved back to look up and saw she was still obeying his order to touch herself.

Standing, he ignored her protest as he picked her up and carried her to the bed. As she lay there, he gently kissed her, not sure how she would react only to find her reaching for him. "No, you ruined my plans, we are now playing by my rules." he said pulling back to run his hands down her body and ease her legs apart.

"Jason, you don't understand..." she tried to tell him that she needed him inside of her, not making her come alone but he was soon lowering his head between her legs and making her scream with need. Just as he felt her tense up to come, he smiled as he recalled what happened next in the book and slid a finger up and inside while gently biting her nub.

Elizabeth felt like she had died, there was a feeling of bliss then just white noise while Jason just leaned back and watched. As she came down, he found himself pushed to his feet as she stood with a strength that surprised him considering how far along she was.

Pushing him back into the chair, he felt her gently encircle his erection then thought he had died and gone to heaven when she said "That wasn't how it went. I believe this is how the next scene went."

Elizabeth carefully straddled his legs, he helped her by catching her hips and easing her down gently onto him. He could feel the aftershocks of their earlier loving and had to fight for control yet again. Worried about supporting her back, Jason slipped one hand around her waist to the small of her back and then curled the other hand around her hip.

When they started to move, Elizabeth and Jason moaned from the need burning deep within them. He was kissing her, desperate for any possible connection there was to her while she wrapped her hands around his shoulders. Lifting his head, he gave a guttural yelp out loud as she came again sending him over when she thrust down hard engulfing him deep inside of her.

Holding her head to his neck with one hand, and still supporting her back with the other, Jason said "How did we let this go this long."

"Stupidity, stubbornness." she said lifting her head as his hand traveled down her moist back to pull her in closer. "Insanity."

Capturing her lips into a hard kiss, Jason said "No more. You are mine."

Chuckling, she said "Right back at you." When she tried to move, Jason reluctantly let her stand then stopped frozen with guilt. "The baby?"

"It's fine." she assured him. "I asked Kelly if it would be okay."

Jason looked at the time and wasn't thrilled but he knew they had to head home. "So much for my plan to ask you to marry me tonight." he said.

Blinking, she asked "What?"

A bit shocked to realize what he had said, he rubbed the back of his neck then said "There is a ring at the studio along with the dinner that Francis took care of for me. A late night dinner and uh, there was something else."

Seeing his face, she smiled and said "What? You look like you were caught out."

"I, there is, well a present for you there. Something that I hoped would show you that I wasn't going to walk away this time."

"What is it?" she asked. "Jason, I don't need presents. You loving me, being there for me, is way more important than anything you could buy me."

Blushing he said "Um, you sure about that, if you are I can take the bike back."

"Bike?" she asked a bit stunned.

"It's not like mine and I found some property where you can ride it safely. It's got a lot smaller engine." he warned only for her to hug him and said "Why now?"

"Easter, when you were joking about wanting a bike, I was so against it. In my mind it was too dangerous for you." he said as he led her into the bathroom. Turning on the shower and removing the now ruined tie he said "We are already working on minimizing the danger of my life, I ride that bike never thinking how you might worry about me, so how can I not let you do the same?"

When Jason and Elizabeth were leaving the safe house, she stopped suddenly then asked "What else did you read in that book?"

"Just that small bit, it is now seared in my brain, but I do have to ask... how was reading supposed to help you with the hormones?" he asked truly puzzled.

A bit shocked, she got that he truly didn't know. "Uh, I can't believe I am going to say this, but I took matters into my own hands."

"Women do that?" he asked a bit stunned. Elizabeth looked at him and found herself envying Sam and Courtney for the time they had had with Jason if they had never had to do that for themselves.

"Yes, we do. Mainly in the bathroom."

"Oh." he said driving them to town then frowning as he reluctantly thought about his past relationships. Suddenly he started to recall all the baths and showers that both Sam and Courtney had taken while they were together, especially after sex. Looking over at Elizabeth, he vowed there would be no more taken it into her own hands, not while he had two that would be quite happy to help.

It was early the next morning when Jason walked out the front door to where Francis was waiting for Elizabeth. "What happened?"

"Spinelli, why did you ever let the kid stay with you?" he asked a bit shocked.

"Strangely enough, it to protect him. I can see now why Lorenzo wanted him dead." he admitted. "I felt bad for the kid, thought he was in over his head."

"So your solution was to endanger your organization and yourself?" asked Francis doubtfully.

"My mind has been a bit screwed up, I had slept with Elizabeth, wanted more than one night with her, then we found out she was pregnant. I did something stupid and gave into my urge to do in Lansing."

With a bitter snort, Francis said "You have been wanting to do that since the day you found out he was seeing Elizabeth. What I don't get is this kid and taking back McCall."

"Do you have any idea the strength it took not to walk into Elizabeth's apartment and drag her out of there and away from all of this." he snapped. "I had been given heaven for one night, then was expected to go back to the life I had been living. That I lost it and finally wiped the ground with Lansing is all I did is the miracle."

Elizabeth was standing behind the door ready to leave for GH and had heard the whole thing. Her hands were shaking but when Jason continued she felt guilt then shock and finally a sense of loss as she realized what her need to protect Lucky from his own actions had cost them.

Eight and a half months that they could have spent being a family. Eight and a half months, she thought to herself. Opening the door, she placed her hand on Jason's arm then kissed him. "We have to, but you so belong to me and don't forget that."

His anger at the past, suddenly evaporating, Jason encircled her waist and gave her a kiss before reminding Francis "Protect her/them with your life."

"Will do." he said snappily. "By the way, I gather that means she said yes."

Shocked the couple looked at one another then Elizabeth stepped back over to Jason and whispered "Yes, I will marry you. I can't believe I forgot to tell you that."

Looking up at Francis after kissing her, he said "She said yes."

Robin saw Elizabeth entering the hospital and said "I thought you were on maternity leave."

"I am, but these are the only comfortable clothes I have right now." she said rubbing her belly. "I had a meeting with Alan and Epiphany about my leave today."

Jolene saw Elizabeth and couldn't help thinking she was prettier than the pregnant girl. Epiphany saw the student nurse watching Elizabeth and decided she would keep an eye on the blond who seemed a bit more interested in rich men than nursing. Her eyes narrowing, the head nurse thought about what she had over heard then the connections to Jason Morgan that that Spinelli character had.

Shaking her head and hoping she was wrong, she went to her meeting with Alan.

Elizabeth felt bad but told them "I am going to come back part time after Jake is two months old. I know that you are short nurses, but I just didn't have that luxury with Cam and I can't walk away from the chance to spend this time with my boys."

"It is going to be hard to find someone to replace you in the surgical theater, maybe we will have you concentrate on that instead of after care." said Alan. As the grandfather of her sons he understood but as the chief of staff, he was not happy to lost a talented nurse.

Stopping by to see Robin who was working on her paperwork, Elizabeth asked if she knew how the rest of the dates had went. "Here." said the doctor pulling out a stack of paperwork from below her other stuff. We are missing two sets. Carly and Sam's." she said with a smirk.

"I would guess they weren't happy." she said remembering the tapes they had seen. "Stan didn't take any chances did he?"

"No, as for the dates, I was waiting for you. So... read!"

"Okay, first one is my grandmother." said Elizabeth giggling. Reading she said with a smile. "She has decided to run off with Patrick."

"What?" asked Robin laughing then taking the paper said "Edward Quartermaine, Bernie? Who?"

"Jason's accountant. Wait, according to this they are going to play bridge together." said Elizabeth. Reading the next one, she smirked "Monica thinks that her last date might just marry her someday."

"I know, I read that one last night." said Robin recalling how she had also been paired with Leo and Jason. "Tracy is pissed. I mean really mad about having to spend time with her dad."

"Why I thought that was her goal to be just like him?" asked Elizabeth. Reading Alice's, she said "Alice was happy, turns out she met some wrestling fans. Skye gave Steven an eight, but said he was too straitlaced."

"I read Georgie's about Jason, that was funny. Read the one for John Zachara, very Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." replied Robin.

Reading, Elizabeth winced at some of the comments then said "He did something rather stupid a few weeks ago."

"At least Dante and Maxie seem to be connecting. You should read what she wrote about being paired with Alan." Elizabeth read then gave a quick laugh before saying "Do you suppose she let him try to speak?"

Going through the rest, Elizabeth gave a soft smile when she read Epiphany's about Trousisant. That turned into laughter when she read Kelly's. Coming to Robin's, she hugged her friend and said "If you need to talk..."

"No, I just... I can't help thinking about babies." she said. "There just is a major trust issue."

"One that Leyla is using to her advantage." said Elizabeth. "Try to talk to him. I lost Jason a few years ago because I didn't do that. We both were too stubborn to admit what was truly going on."

"You have to read Jolene's." said Robin quietly. Elizabeth gave a quick laugh then thought about it. "You think she is interested in Jason?"

"I do. If you read between the lines. I don't know what it is but I don't like her. With Leyla she is very open about what she is after, Jolene is sneaky."

"I will keep an eye on her." said Elizabeth and looking up saw Francis watching the blond in the pepto bismo colored uniform. Feeling her phone vibrate, Elizabeth saw that it was Claudia and said "So how was your night?"

"Sweaty, and yours?" asked the mob queen as she walked down the stairs to where the boys were playing with Molly. Looking around she saw Kristina talking very earnestly to her father who seemed to be trying not to laugh.

"I am getting married." said Elizabeth as she found herself suddenly hard of hearing when Robin squealed "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I heard that Jason made Skye promise to get you out of there before nine so you could have soup?" asked Claudia "Why soup?"

"I have no idea." she said with a smirk. "We all need to meet. I think we need to talk about what comes next?"

"Good idea." said Skye from behind her. Taking her phone, she told Claudia, "Meet us at the park in an hour."

Diane entered Jacks Enterprises in time to see a young brunette tossing her phone down and holding her head in her hands. "May I help with something?"

Lifting her head and trying to act like a professional, Georgie said "That should be my question."

"I am actually looking for Alexis Davis, I was told by her office she was here."

"I will see if she and my boss are done." replied Georgie as she knocked on the door. Entering, she saw Alexis brighten then walk to the hall while Jax asked "Did Kate Howard call you about the launch yet?"

"Yes, but are you sure, I know nothing about stuff like that." she said. "I put on what Maxie pairs in my closet." to the horror of the two women entering the room behind her.

"Kate just thinks you are better equipped to supervise the party planner for this." he admitted.

Georgie was sure she was in over her head, but agreed to call the woman back. Her phone rang just as she hung up. Seeing it said Alexis Davis, she answered it only to listen to Kristina Corinthos request. "I will try."

Sitting down, Georgie came up with the list for the young girl, not sure she was doing the right thing, but keeping quiet for now. Maxie and she had learned the lesson already that these two young girls were about it, your parents didn't like it when you tried to play matchmaker.

Jason thought about what he had heard from that kid Spinelli. He couldn't kill him, the kid knew nothing of value but he had made sure to get the point across that if he kept lying to people about working for him or having a friendship with him bad things could and would happen.

Stan had worked hard to change the programs but he hadn't been positive the kid couldn't access them if they connected to the Internet. The new security for the Towers was a completely disconnected system now protecting his family but there was a ghost system that made it look like it was connected.

As for the business, Jason had had another meeting with Sandoval who made it clear his partner was hiding something from him. Jason was not going to stick around any longer than he had to if Sonny didn't agree to the plan. He was aware the Cuban might consider it betrayal, but Jason had a family now. One he didn't want to risk because of another man's need for power.

Letting himself into the safe house where Johnny had Sam tied up and wearing a blind fold, he was amused to see she was also gagged and couldn't hear. "What is that about?"

"I got sick of hearing how you were going to kill me for touching her." said Johnny glaring at the woman. "Your man, Francis did the rest. She never saw either of us. Kurt there was the only one she saw."

Walking over, Jason removed the gag but not the others, just yet. As he listened to her talking, he wrote Johnny a note. Moving out of eye sight, Jason watched as the man working for the kid removed the ear phones and said "If you want to live tell me about how you were planning on getting back with Morgan."

"What are you talking about?" she asked with a dry voice.

"We know you have a plan to take out his pregnant girlfriend."

"That is what this is about?" she asked relieved. "If you untie me, I will let you in on my plan."

"Talk first, if I believe you, I will let you free." said the guard.

"I talked this computer geek into helping me find a pharmacist who does stuff on the side. He thinks I am looking for a miracle cure to carry Jason's child. I found someone to help, he gave me some drugs, but something went wrong and she didn't go into labor."

"So why do I need you?" he asked as she heard the sound of a gun's safety coming off.

"W-wait, there is something else that will work, but I can't get in close enough. There is this drug cocktail that will send her into labor. Her blood pressure will sky rocket and she won't make it. I wanted her alive, so I could visit her, torture her by telling her that I had my life back. That her brat was calling me mommy. How Jason and I had let her family take her other kid."

Jason walked over and ripped off the blind fold and said "Hello Sam."

"Jason." she said with a smile. "I know what you just heard, but honestly I was telling him what he wanted, so I could live long enough for you to rescue me."

"Why should I believe you?" he asked.

"Jason, you know that I love you." she said pleading with him. "Look, untie me, please?"

Cutting the ropes, he moved back and said "If you loved me, Sam. You would be happy that I am happy. If you loved me, you would want me to be happy even if it wasn't with you."

"Come on, Jason. We both know you are doing this, staying with Elizabeth, because Sonny wants those piers. You are doing what you always do, sacrificing your own happiness for his and his families. I am trying to help you."

Looking at her without saying a word, he listened as she went on to say "Jason, you aren't the sort of man who enjoys playing happy families and frankly Elizabeth is too scared of her own shadow to be your partner."

"I don't want a business partner, I want a partner in life." he said. "Sam, you, being with you was sacrificing for Sonny, then I saw the woman I still had feelings for seemed happy, seemed to be encouraging me to be with you. That is why we were together. I have to admit, I was happy for a while."

Seeing Sam's huge smile he added "But mainly because I didn't like living alone. I am sorry you lost a chance at happiness, but I - Gentlemen, leave us alone for a few minutes, please."

Walking out, Johnny took out his phone and checked his messages. Two from his sister and one from Georgie. With a smile, he went to call her back and stepped away from Kurt and got an earful from inside instead that had him trying not to laugh.

"Sam." Jason didn't know how to say it, but he would always regret it if he didn't. "I have learned something about myself since we split up."

Grinning, she moved in only for Jason to stop her then say. "I have to ask, when we were together, did you ever uh, you know, take matters into your own hands after we had sex?"

"No, just on the nights you didn't want anything more than oral sex." she said then added "I get it, I mean, you just didn't want to inconvenience me."

Deciding polite was going to give her the wrong idea, Jason said "No, that isn't it. I just didn't care enough some times. I mean you never complained so I never gave it a second thought. Courtney was the same way."

Sam didn't like hearing her name in connection to the blond he had been married to. "So what are you saying?"

"Sam, I never meant to be a selfish lover, I would try to make sure you were pleased only to get what I wanted. I never really realized how rude that was until recently when I noticed how different I was with Elizabeth compared to you."

Seeing her smile again and once again try to move closer, Jason got that she thought he had tried more for her than for Elizabeth and was taking that as a good sign. "See, I realized sex with you was work, I mean giving you pleasure was about getting … no, this isn't the right way."

Frustrated, Jason thought about it and knew he should have told Elizabeth this first, but since Sam was about to die it didn't really matter. "See, I want to give Elizabeth pleasure, I am quite happy if all we were to do all night was give her pleasure. I have never felt that way about a woman before."

Johnny outside got it and had to find his grin as well as his shock as he finally got what the awkward apology was about. Morgan was an idiot; but he didn't want Sam to die without apologizing for his mistake not realizing how insulted the woman was about to become.

Then he laughed when he heard her say "What are you saying Jason?"

Rolling his eyes, Johnny entered and said as plain as he could. "What he is trying to tell you, is that he loves eating out with Elizabeth at an all you can eat sex buffet where as you are McDonalds."

"We didn't eat McDonalds, we ate Chinese food a lot." she said blinking as she tried to figure out why they were discussing this.

"Fuck it. You are a stupid woman, aren't you." said Johnny going for even blunter. "Morgan likes sex with Elizabeth a hell of a lot more than with you, you were fast food, she is a never ending buffet where he is quite content with only her being satisfied, do I need even simpler words?"

No, Jason could see from her face that Sam got it as she started to shriek that Johnny was lying to her. "Morgan, you are an idiot."

Agreeing with the kid, Jason took the stun gun from behind his back and shot Sam just as she turned on him. "Kurt, take her to the plane."

Arriving at the airport, Kurt made a point of being seen with Sam in the car. She had been propped up to look awake as they drove to the private jets. When the plane had taken off, the FAA watched as it suddenly went off radar then took calls about a fire burst in the sky.

Making a call, they informed Nik Cassadine that his jet had just exploded over New Hampshire. "Who was on it?"

"A woman named Sam McCall, she filed a flight plan to Maine." he told the Prince.

Calling Alexis, he asked her to meet him at Sam's penthouse. When they arrived, Alexis had a sick feeling of deja vous as she looked around the place that had furniture that was similar to Morgan's, down the the pool table in the dining room.

Finding the notes in the trash, she swore and after hesitating made the call. "Jason, can you come to Sam's. It's very important."

"My man at the airport told me about the explosion. I am sorry for your lose, but I was done with Sam after she tried to hurt Elizabeth." he said then hung up. Right on cue, there was a call from Nik. Agreeing, he went over and was sickened at what he saw.

Calling Francis he checked on Elizabeth who was now home waiting for Cameron, he said "I am on my way. I need you to do something tonight."

Telling him what Sam's place looked like he thought about it then added. "How did you know Cassadine would call?"

"I planted a note about Sam endangering his business interests. Cassadine is all about the money."

Sonny watched as Alexis took the girls home to tell them the news while Cam was leaving with Milo to meet his mother. Going to talk to Morgan, he asked his son how involved was he in his sister's plan. "I promised to help before she told me what she wanted."

"I have to go to GH, do you want to come with me?" he asked. He only had an appointment with his oncologist, nothing more so if Morgan wanted to see his grandmother now was the perfect time.

"I have practice today." he said proudly. "Can Michael come?"

Thinking about how his son was now required to attend sessions with a child mental health specialist, two sessions a week of anger management and was grounded, Sonny hated to say no, but he had barricaded himself in his room otherwise.

"You may ask, but he is only to go to your practice then return home." Sonny was sending him to a tough love camp for the summer, but he wasn't sure it would help. His arrogance had toned down since running away and being brought back, but his certainty that his uncle would come to his rescue eventually hadn't.

Claudia looked at the box in her hands. Reading the directions, she quickly stuck in back in the bag when she saw the women arriving. Watching as Cam played, she couldn't help wondering if she would soon be a parent. "So, when are you getting married?"

"This week, but the groom doesn't know it." replied Elizabeth to the shock of the rest of the women. "I was thinking about it and don't want to wait."

"There is no time to plan a wedding in a week." complained Robin.

"We are going to just have a simple wedding and frankly Sonny has done so repeatedly." she reminded them. Checking on Cam she saw him waving and waved back as he kicked his legs to go higher.

Discussing the wrap up of the fundraiser, they never saw Carly walking close by but Francis did. Glaring at the blond, he made it clear she was to stay away but the woman just gave him the finger as she kept heading to her hotel never seeing Milo shaking his head in disgust.

Arriving into her office, she went to get the daily sales and saw that Marty wasn't there. "Where is Marty?"

"In his new office, Ms. Corinthos." said the new clerk.

"What new office?" she asked annoyed.

"Your old one." he said weakly then watched as she left.

Seeing the words Martin Brown, hotel manager sent Carly's blood pressure through the roof as she crashed open the door to see Nik and Marty talking "Why wasn't I informed about this?"

"I sent you an e-mail." replied Nik coolly before adding. "If you would check them once in a while, we wouldn't have this problem. Marty, remember, you are in charge on my orders."

Carly followed her partner out the door and hissed "How dare you?"

"Don't push me, Carly. I am not enthralled with you, you can't get me to do what you want. So let Marty run the hotel, you just sit there looking ornamental. No more remodeling, no more making decisions, your job in this partnership is to stay out of things and take your share of the profits. You are what I like to call a silent partner, emphasis on the word silent."

Thinking about the plan she had come up with the night before, Carly just walked away counting to ten. Let the porky prince think he won one. In the end she would have it all and her kids back as well.

Hearing about Sam from her mother, Carly gave a small smile as she made plans to use that to start an in roads with Nik. Heading to GH, she stopped to listen as Claudia made an appointment with Kelly Lee and vowed to find out what that was about.

Jason waited until Cam was in bed, then told Elizabeth what he had told Sam first. Blushing at the idea of Johnny's interpretation of things, she knew she should feel bad about Sam's death but with what Jason had told her, couldn't.

Then to hear what and why Jason had told her, made her hide her smile. Kissing him, she said "You are so getting lucky tonight."

Picking her up, he said "Well, I actually have something else I want to try. Something I read this morning while you were in the shower."
