1 year and 6 months later
Elizabeth lay in the bed connected to oxygen and a heart monitor. She hated the fact that she couldn't keep moving. Up until about 2 months ago Liz had been fairly normal although she had very little breath to expend.
She had gotten work at house that she was living in. She helped in the kitchen. And that was when she had met 6 of the most important people in her life right now. Christian, Christian's twin daughter's Caleigh and Christina, Jessica, Jess' husband Will and their 3 year old daughter Leah.
Liz had been living in Jess and Will's house but she now lived in the house that she had lived in earlier. That was where she could be monitored before her beeper went of signifying that they had found a heart for her.
While Liz had been able to move she could stop the thoughts about Lucky and Port Charles from running through her head. But now the past year and a half caught up to her.
Just as her mind was about to go back into thinking about Lucky she heard a knock on the door and she saw Jessica and Will come in, in the scrubs that they had to wear to protect Liz from germs.
"Hi." Jessica said cheerfully.
"Hi." Liz replied weakly.
Will walked over and kissed Liz on the forehead. Liz had come to think of Will as brother and he acted as such, Jess was just like a sister.
"How are you feeling?" Jess asked.
"As good as can be expected." Liz replied. "I just wish this would all be over one way or the other."
Suddenly the door was pushed open and another woman walked in. "Aunt Lanie." Will said startled.
"Will, Jessica hello." Lanie was smiling broadly "I can tell all of you at the same time then. Liz they found a heart for you. It is a perfect match."
"That's great!" Jess and Will exclaimed.
Liz felt herself pale, it was finally over. "How long will the surgery be Aunt Lanie?" Will asked.
"Several hours." Lanie replied "But we have to prep Liz for surgery. You guys can wait in the waiting room."
"I'm calling Christian he wanted to know when the time came." Jessica said.
"We will be waiting for you when you come to." Will promised. Jess hugged Liz and Will hugged her and hen kissed her on the cheek after the promise.
"You 4 got really close didn't you?" Lanie asked.
Liz nodded and whispered "They are my only family right now. Well other than you and Colin." (An before I forget I started this story long before Colin went into his scary phase and then was murdered-k-)
While they were running all the test Liz she thought back to the year and a half that she had lived there. She had been welcomed by Jess, Will, Christian, Lanie and Colin and they had all treated her like family. They knew her story knew all about Lucky and how she had left Port Charles without a word to anybody.
Jessica picked up the pay phone and dialed Christian's number "Hello." Came a soft female voice.
"Caleigh it's Jess is your dad around?" Jessica asked her goddaughter.
"Yeah hang on." Jessica heard the phone covered and heard a muffled "Chris get Dad. The phone is for him."
Moments later Christian came on the phone "Hello."
"Christian it's Jess, the found a heart for Liz." Jessica heard the excitement in her voice.
"Jess that's great I will be come to hospital." Christian said.
Half and hour later Jessica and Will were in the waiting room when 3 people came into the room. Christian followed by his twin daughters Caleigh and Christina. Both looked identical with long black hair and large milk chocolate eyes. Caleigh and Christina had been born 8 years ago causing Christian and Roseanne to get back together. But when the girls had turned 4 Roseanne had left town leaving Christian to raise the girls on their own.
"You brought the girls?" Jessica asked.
Christian shrugged "They insisted on coming."
Jessica smiled both girls had a big heart like Christian.

6 hours later
"Christian stop pacing you are making me nervous." Jessica said.
"Sorry." Christian said stopping momentarily and then going back to pacing.
The twins sat in a corner quietly. Finally Colin came out.
They nodded and Christian asked "How is she Colin?"
"She pulled through with flying colors." Colin said looking relieved himself.
A sigh of relief up went around the group. "Can we see her?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah scrub up." The Colin said "But wait for Lanie I paged her and she should be here in a couple minutes she wants to go in with you guys. Usually we don' let anyone under 13 into the ICU room. But I know how important the twins are to Liz so they can go in with you guys."
"Thanks Colin." The girls said hugging him.
When the group got to the room that Liz was in they walked to her bed.
"Hi Liz." Everyone said.
They saw Liz try to talk but Colin walked over and said "Don't try to talk. They have a tube down your throat we will take it out in a few days."
A couple day's later Liz was moved to another room and Jessica scrubbed up quickly. She had come alone to see Liz.
When she came into the room Jessica almost gasped out loud, Liz's face was swollen. Colin had warned everyone about that. It was a reaction to Liz's anti-rejection medicine and her face would look like that until they found the perfect combination.
"Hi." Liz called softly.
"How are you feeling?" Jess asked.
"Like a truck ran over me." Liz asked.
"Any idea when they are letting you out?" Jess asked.
"A couple weeks Colin said."
"Will and I want you to come back and stay with us until you get back on your feet." Jess said.
"Thanks Jess, I think that I might take you up on that." Liz replied. "I don't think I should go back to Port Charles until I am sure that my medicine is working."
"I don't need you to push me in this wheelchair." Liz protested "I can walk."
"No use exerting your self uselessly." Will said.
When they got to the house Leah climbed into Liz's lap saying "Aunt Lizzy."
Liz hugged the blonde toddler. She didn't know how she was ever going to go back to Port Charles.
