A/N – So many interesting comments. Guest – They are treating Sarah with kid's gloves because for the last few months, her life has fallen apart and she's a hot mess. Sometimes, one kid does need more attention than the other because bad things happen. Does Liz's intent matter? No, because bottom line is that Sarah was in love with Jason and was planning a life with him, so it still feels like a knife in the back because Liz was quite aware of all that and didn't care. It's so raw for Sarah and rightfully so. I'm sorry, but I would hate my sister if she did what Liz did, malicious or not. I don't know if I'd get over it, especially if we weren't close. Lol, the funny thing about the baby daddy drama is that I never even considered Jason being the father, so when someone alluded to it, I was like wait…what? Lol. I guess I had a plan in my head. I could have gone even soapier and drove you all batty lol.

Sunshin3 – you know, my dad and step-mom favored my two sisters over me...horribly so, but I never ever blamed my younger half-sisters. We have always gotten along, so it doesn't always end up with sibling hatred. The Webbers know they fought, but a lot of times siblings don't always fight in front of their parents and sometimes kids drift towards one parent more than the other too. Jeff worked all the time and Carolyn was out of touch, so I think they are surprised it reached this epic point, not that the sisters don't get along. I mean who could have foreseen the Jason swap? That's shocking.

OMG! I just realized that there is just one more chapter to this. I know…boo hiss…

NC-17

Chapter 13

Liz stands as her parents enter the dining room.

"Is everything okay?"

"No," Jeff said solemnly. It's far from okay.

Elizabeth swallowed hard. "It's Sarah, isn't it?"

"Yes. Everything will be explained later, but I need Jason to come with us."

Jason eyed them warily.

"Why?" Elizabeth asked.

"Your sister is leaving tomorrow, and she wants to resolve a few things."

Liz sighed. "Fine…"

"I'm hoping that she'll change her mind and try and talk things out with you by the time her flight leaves," Carolyn said.

"I don't think we have much more to say."

Carolyn sighed heavily wishing that the sisters would at least call a truce.

Jeff stepped closer to Jason. "I know it's asking a lot, but you were going to marry her. Will you at least hear her out so she can get some closure?"

Jason shifted uncomfortably. "Fine, but I'll follow you over there."

"Thank you."

They went to the car as Jason kissed Elizabeth one more time

"Are you mad at me for going?"

"No. It's the right thing to do."

"I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Okay."

Alice threw him some car keys and Jason went into the garage.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Carolyn led Jason to the study. "She's in there and she's very emotional, so please, just be gentle with her."

Jason nodded and then went inside to find Sarah staring out the window.

"You came. I didn't think you would."

Her eyes are rimmed with red and she looks very tired.

"What's wrong?"

She bursts into tears and he isn't sure what to do.

"I'm sorry. It's just—I'm leaving and I'm not sure if I'm ever coming back."

"Because of me and Elizabeth?"

"Partly, but now, there's something else. First, I'm still in love with you, Jason. I need to find a way to get over you and…"

"Sarah, you don't have to tell me."

"I do." She takes a second to get herself under control. "I told my parents not to tell Liz before I spoke to you. Either you can tell her afterward or my parents will sit her down. It's up to you. Anyway, I always thought I'd be doing this with you." Her hand went to her belly. "I love you so much and I wanted everything with you. Do you even remember our love, Jason?"

He nodded. While he's disconnected from it, he does remember that she was important to him and he loved her.

"How can you remember it but then treat it like it was nothing?"

"I don't know what you want from me, Sarah. You know my brain is different now. I know that you were important, but I don't feel that way anymore."

"How do you even know that when you didn't even give me a chance?"

"You're ignoring that I'm very different now."

"I know, but that doesn't mean I shut my feelings off. I was willing to try to get to know you better. That is why I have to go because it just hurts too much to stay here and know I can't have what I want."

"I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm just trying to find my way."

"With my sister…"

"Again, I didn't get involved with her to hurt you. She gets me and I get her. I can't explain it, we just have a connection."

Sarah cringed. "Unfortunately, your intentions don't make me hurt any less. I'm pregnant."

Jason's eyes widened. "Is it mine?"

Her eyes welled with tears. "No. Nikolas is the father."

Jason breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you going to do?"

"He's taking me to Greece and I'll have the baby there. I don't know anything beyond that. I just need to get away from here."

"I hope that you'll be happy eventually."

"Me too." She stepped in front of him. "Please, can I hug you goodbye?"

He slightly nodded, so she slipped her arms around him and squeezed and when she felt how different his energy is, she retreated.

"Goodbye, Jason."

"Goodbye."

He made his escape as she collapsed onto a chair. Now, Elizabeth will know. While her parents wanted them to talk, she isn't sure that she can be nice or have the proper perspective due to Jason's involvement. Sighing, she sat on the couch and put her head in her hands. What a mess.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jason entered the cottage. "Elizabeth?"

"Up here…"

He went upstairs and found her in a bedroom. "Hey."

She smiled as she zipped up the empty suitcase. "How did it go?"

He blew out a harsh breath. "It was brutal." Seeing Sarah so upset had affected him more than he wanted to admit. Regardless of the circumstances, he loved her and never wanted to hurt her.

"I'm sorry." She slipped in front of him wanting to comfort him.

"She's pregnant."

Liz gasped and her head jerked up to meet his gaze. "Is it yours?"

"No. Nikolas is the father."

"Wow."

"She's upset and can't stay here and watch us, so she's going to Greece. I think the Cassadines have a house there."

"Oh, I see."

"She wanted to say goodbye and we talked about everything."

"That must have been hard for you."

He shrugged. "I guess I feel bad for her."

Liz dropped her arms. "I'm not mad at you for feeling that way. It's just hard for me to be objective where she is concerned."

"We hurt her, but it wasn't on purpose."

She reached up and touched his face. "No, it wasn't, but for once in my life, I behaved selfishly because I wanted you in my life."

"I'm glad that you did. She just feels like regardless of our intentions it doesn't make her hurt any less."

Liz sighed. "Ugh, I guess I am a horrible sister. She sucks too, don't get me wrong, but if I were her, I probably would never forgive me. Sarah has never done anything like this to me. I get her anger."

"Do you need her forgiveness?"

"No, but I think I need to see her before she leaves."

"It might not end well."

"I know, but it's the right thing to do."

As he gazes at her, he realizes that there is so much more to learn about her and he looks forward to every moment.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The glass slipped through Sarah's hand before she could stop it and it bounced on the carpet, water splashing everywhere.

"Elizabeth… What are you doing here?"

Liz moved closer. "I wanted to see you before you left."

"To rub it in that you are living my fairy tale? No thanks. You can go," Sarah said bitterly.

"No. Sarah, I know we have never been close, but I really didn't do this to hurt you."

"But you did and didn't care."

"It's not that simple."

Sarah's started to shed bitter tears. "Why couldn't you just let me be?"

"You have the right to hate me, but this needs to end. We are having children. Do you want to teach them to hate their siblings? Our relationship sucks for many reasons and we're both ultimately responsible, but this needs to stop."

"You crossed the line, Elizabeth. My heart is so broken right now. It's easy for you to say all of that because you got everything. You won the ultimate prize, my fiancé and my future! I'm done. There will be no more competing or even contact because it hurts too much and I can't do it anymore. So, I'll leave and you won't have to ever deal with me again. That's what you always wanted, isn't it?"

Liz wiped away a tear. "Actually, I just wanted our mom to love me like she loved you and I wanted a sister, someone I could come to, but we ruined that. God, after the rape, I needed you so badly, but you pushed me away. Why did you do that?"

An exhausted Sarah pulled out a chair and sat. "I didn't know how to handle it. You were so broken and I was young too. All we did was fight and all your fight was gone. I had no idea how to relate or what to say to make you feel better, so I stayed away from you. When you started to goad me, I was surprised, but it was what I was used to, so I went along with it because you had finally shown some signs of life again and I figured everything would be better if you were just you again, but it wasn't, was it?" They had never discussed the rape before.

Liz shook her head. "Burying the pain just made it worse. I wouldn't go near men and punished myself. When I finally tried to date, I just couldn't follow it all the way through. We're a mess. I know there is too much water under the bridge, but can we at least have a truce?"

"You're asking for a lot."

"I know that I am. We've hurt each other enough for a lifetime, but I think we can do better. I heard everything you said before and you were right. It's not your fault that mom and dad behaved the way they did. I'm trying to grow up. What Emily and I did at Gram's house was immature and I shouldn't have done it."

"Thank you for saying that." Sarah wiped at her face. "I used to be so jealous of you and dad that I turned to mom and I manipulated it knowing it hurt you just like you played up to dad."

"You're right, I did." They are both to blame. "Someday, I'd like our kids to meet and hopefully get along. When I yell at my kids to not fight, I want to know that in my heart, I tried hard to make that happen with you." It's hard to explain why she feels a need to make this right. The baby has just forced her to realize that they both need to grow up fast.

Jeff and Carolyn, who are hiding in the hallway, took a deep breath and held it.

Sarah's bottom lip quivered when Jason popped into her mind. "The knife wound is just so fresh. Can you give me some time?"

"Yes. Of course, but we can't let this go on forever."

Sarah slowly stood. "I know and I agree. I am sorry for the past too. I just need some time to get over him."

Liz started to turn and then stopped. "Congratulations, by the way." She left before Sarah could reply with a lot on her mind.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

One Week Later

Elizabeth was working at the hospital when her mom approached her.

"I just thought you should know that Sarah is settled. We'll probably go visit her in a few months. She left you this."

Liz took the envelope from her mom. "I hope it's not hate mail."

"Me too… Is there anything you need?"

"You're really going to try, aren't you?"

"Yes. I know that you have felt unloved and I want to prove to you that I do love you. I've been thinking a lot about my reactions to you especially when you were younger. Part of it was jealousy because you were so close to your father. It made me feel unwanted, which is exactly how I made you feel by turning to Sarah. I immersed myself in my relationship with your sister to make myself feel better instead of trying to understand you. I'm sorry. Do you think that you can forgive me?"

Liz slightly smiled as her mother said the words she had always wanted to hear. "Maybe you and dad can come over for dinner some night." Her mother is waving the flag and it's a start. Frankly, she had thought they'd move to Greece to be closer to Sarah, but they hadn't. Instead, they had decided to stay in the area to give Sarah some space and try to heal their relationship with Liz. They are now working at General Hospital. What she said is a good start.

"We would like that. How is Jason?"

"He's doing well. He's working with Francis and Johnny at ELQ and he seems to like it."

"That's good."

"He's not getting any more memories back, so he's still trying to make sense of everything."

"I can't even imagine." Her name is called over the intercom. "I have to go, but text me with a date for dinner." She kissed Liz on the forehead and then left.

"Hell is freezing over," she said as she shoved the envelope into her pocket."

Quickly, she ran to get her things and then headed to her class.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jason looked up when Elizabeth came inside.

"Hey."

"Hi. How was class?"

"Good. I can't believe I'm almost done. It feels great."

He pulled her onto his lap. "I missed you."

She grinned. "How was work?"

"Fine." They had been making out a lot, but still hadn't had sex again and tonight, he wanted to change that. "I ran you a bath."

Her eyes lit up and she slid off the couch before running up the stairs as he chuckled. After about a half-hour, he took off his shirt as he moved up the stairs and then undid his jeans. Once they and his socks and briefs were discarded, he walked into the bathroom in all his glory.

When her eyes popped open, she sucked in a long breath. "Jason…"

"Sit up."

He moved behind her and slipped into the warm water, making her shiver when his semi hard-on slid down her back.

"You cold?"

"No."

She reclined onto him and then closed her eyes and after a few minutes, he hand began to travel around her chest, sometimes, he pinched her nipples and she is starting to get wet.

"I missed you."

"God, I've missed you too."

He helped her turn around and she straddled him, before he claimed her lips and mouth, sensuously kissing her until they had to retreat.

A slow, smirk edged onto her face as she grabbed his cock and began to pump making him moan.

"Elizabeth…"

"Yes, Jason?"

"I want to be inside you."

His finger slipped past her folds, into her wetness and her head fell backward as she rode it. "You're so hot, baby."

She practically purred as his hand moved faster.

"Fuck," he muttered against her neck. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, please."

He held himself steady as she slowly engulfed him.

And when she had taken in as much as she could, he grabbed her face and kissed her again, sucking on her lips, then tongue as he ravished her.

"Jason," she moaned as she started to move.

He let her control it, loving it when she couldn't take anymore and began to slam onto his aching cock, jarring their bodies as he tweaked her nipples.

"Harder!"

He grabbed her to help her as his hips lifted. Before long, she was screaming his name as her world fell apart and Jason was right behind her.

Afterward, they cleaned up and Jason carried her into the bedroom.

"I wanted to make our second time more special."

She smiled. "You did."

"I just…"

"You still feel bad about the first time, don't you?"

"Yes."

She kissed him languidly. "Don't. It was exciting and so hot."

He slightly blushed.

"You just turned a little red. Maybe now I understand why you think that is so hot."

He slightly glared.

"That look is hot too. Yum."

They kissed torridly before Liz pulled back when she felt his erection press against her. "Again?"

He nodded before taking her mouth again and then he slowly made love to her, savoring every moment.

Two hours later, she got up to go to the bathroom and remembered the envelope and fished it out of her pants pocket. For a long moment, she gazed at it before finally opening it and smiling. It simply said, "Congratulations -Sarah."

Holding the note against her chest, she breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't fix everything, but it represents hope and forgiveness and those are worth more than words.
