"What about my husband?" Elizabeth asked. Elizabeth knew now she couldn't
use her "Ric shot me excuse". "Umm..Mrs. Lansing, your husband was found
dead last night..shot." Elizabeth tried her best to react, "No...he's not
dead.He can't be" Just then Taggart handed Elizabeth the morning paper.
Elizabeth saw the headline. "FORMER CORINTHOS LAWYER RIC LANSING FOUND
DEAD!!" Elizabeth dropped the paper and hung her head with her hands over
it and screamed, then began sobbing. Zander got up, "Get out of here, can't
you see, she needs to be alone!" Zander rushed Baldwin and Taggart out.
Baldwin turned around before he was about to leave, "I'll be back with
questions," he glanced in at Liz, "I highly doubt this was a suicide."
Jason left the room immediately and grabbed a morning paper lying in the lobby, it was true, only Ric was found dead. He came back in with the paper and threw it to Sonny, Sonny read the first couple paragraphs, as he was doing this Bobbie came in with Michael, "Carly!, Oh Carly, I knew you would come back, just like last time, I knew it!!!" Bobbie hugged Carly, "Mom, I missed you so much! "How are you sweetie" "I'm fine Mom, did you see your new grandson?" Bobbie smiled, "I sure did, I watched over both of you last night." Carly smiled. "Thanks Mom" Sonny finished reading the article." Sonny whispered to Jason, "Then where's Elizabeth," Bobbie overheard this, "She's in room 311 here at GH, she had a gunshot wound, Zander brought her in very early this morning." Jason felt 2 feelings, one was joy knowing Elizabeth was still alive, second was aggravation, not knowing what was going to happen now. Jason slipped out of the room, Courtney watched him and got a little worried. Bobbie got in front of Sonny, "Sonny, I hope you had nothing to do with what happened to Elizabeth." Sonny shook his head, "It's Ric I wanted." Bobbie began to get angry, "Ric is dead, my daughter is in the hospital, Elizabeth is too!, what do you have to SAY for yourself." Sonny just looked away, "This isn't my fault Bobbie," Bobbie just shook her head, "It never is, is it Sonny" and with that she left.
Elizabeth sat all alone in her bed. She began to wonder why she hadn't felt any real grief yet. She had just risked her life for him, her husband, .but why did she do it. She must have done it out of what love she had left over for him. That was the only reason. She wiped her tears from her eyes and then saw Jason standing at the door. He suddenly took her breath away just standing there, with his blue eyes staring right at her. Neither said a thing, Jason just stood there for the longest time, until finally Elizabeth broke the silence, "Jason? Why are you just standing there?" Jason slowly spoke back to her, "Because I thought I lost you," Elizabeth gave Jason a funny look, "You lost me a long time ago, Jason. Jason still stared at her, "I mean forever, I thought you were dead. Elizabeth was speechless, was this really Jason talking to her, the man whom she once was so in love with, the one that took her months to get over. The one who was in love with Courtney now. Jason walked in and sat by her bed, "Thank you for rescuing Carly.and I'm sorry about Ric, but it had to be done, you know it Elizabeth." Elizabeth looked away, she did know it. But if she let Jason know that he had a right to kill Ric, she'd be giving in to him. "You had to right to kill him, Jason. He just needed help," Jason was expecting a much more emotional reaction from her, especially her. "Did you ever really love Ric," Normally she would lash out at Jason for asking such a question, but she didn't she looked at Jason at thought about it for a few moments, "No, I cared for him deeply, but I never really loved him." Jason was very confused, "Then why'd you jump in front of him?" Elizabeth shook her head, "I've been asking myself that same question." It was silent for a while, "I'm glad you are alive Elizabeth, I kept thinking about you after I thought I killed you," Elizabeth smiled, she was happy he did think of her. Especially after he shot her. He still cared for her she thought. Just as Elizabeth was about to ask Jason exactly what he thought about Courtney appeared at the door.
Carly and Sonny were finally alone, Michael was with Bobbie watching the baby. "I love you baby, I missed you so much, I'm so sorry," Sonny said as he sat by her bed. "Sonny, why are you sorry?" "I should have been watching you, had a guard..." "Shh.Sonny, it wouldn't have mattered, this was not your fault, I'm here, I'm alive." Sonny nodded and kissed her hand, "I love you Sonny," Sonny just stared at her smiling. "I was so scared," Carly said, "I thought I was going to give birth right there in the panic room, until Liz saw me..Sonny, Ric was going to take the baby." Sonny nodded, "I know, but it's all over now" Carly nodded. "Let's not talk about this anymore, lets talk about little Vincent" Sonny laughed, "Vincent?!" No, No it's little David," Carly gasped, "David!!! NO..I knew this horrid man named David.not David!" "Ok. How 'bout Lonny," Carly laughed, "Do you want our son to be beat up at school?! "Cause if you do then that's a great name!" They both laughed and continued arguing over the name. "Elizabeth, how are you?" Courtney asked, Liz nodded, "I'm OK, could be better but at least I'm not dead." Everyone laughed a little. Courtney looked at Jason, who sitting awfully close to Liz's bed. Jason immediately got up when he noticed this. "Michael is asking for you, he wants to show you the baby again," Courtney said. Jason laughed, "I guess I'll go, Bye Elizabeth, I'll see you around." Elizabeth smiled. "I'll see you." Courtney took Jason's seat, "Does it hurt?" Elizabeth touched the wound, "Hurts more than the last time". "For someone who was just shot and who's husband died, you seem awfully..cynical." Elizabeth realized it too, "I know, it's just my way of dealing I guess. I suppose you know that I jumped in front of Ric." Courtney nodded. "I was shocked and really sad Elizabeth. I'm serious, I know we haven't been really friends, but." Elizabeth interrupted her, "I know, listen, I'm sorry about the whole Jason thing, it was just easier for me to stay angry." Courtney nodded, "Well, I'm sorry that Ric..is you know.." Liz sighed, "Thanks Courtney," "If you need anything just let me know." "OK, thanks again Courtney." Courtney smiled and left. Courtney still annoyed Elizabeth, but at least now she was being nice about it. She watched Courtney outside her room as Jason approached her. They both were smiling. Then Jason softly brushed Courtney's hair back and kissed her gently. Elizabeth clenched her fist, she finally realized yet another thing, she was still in love with Jason, after everything he had done, she still loved him.
Jason left the room immediately and grabbed a morning paper lying in the lobby, it was true, only Ric was found dead. He came back in with the paper and threw it to Sonny, Sonny read the first couple paragraphs, as he was doing this Bobbie came in with Michael, "Carly!, Oh Carly, I knew you would come back, just like last time, I knew it!!!"
