Elizabeth couldn't believe what she just heard. Jason wanted to be here?
And he didn't care what Courtney thought? She twists her fingers together
again on her lap as she turns her head slightly away from him. "Jason..."
she says.
Jason pulls the chair closer to her bed and reaches out for her hand, gently taking it into his. "Elizabeth, don't pull away." he says when he feels her start to jerk her hand away. "Elizabeth, what I said is true. I want to be here. I've missed you." He says, that last part in a whisper.
Now Elizabeth really thought that she was dreaming. Jason had missed her? She turns her face back into the direction of his voice. "Jason, why are you saying this?" she asks him. "I thought that you hated me."
"Elizabeth, I could never hate you."
"Then why did you push me away?" she asks softly.
Jason lets out a soft sigh, realizing that there were some issues that hadn't been resolved between him and Elizabeth. "I wanted to keep you safe from my job. I cared about you too much to see you get hurt." He takes a deep breath. "I still do care."
Tears start to sting the back of Elizabeth's eyes and she quickly closes them, holding them back. After all this time, after all the mean things that Elizabeth had done to Jason when he accused Ric of stealing Carly, he had cared about her. She opens her eyes and turns her head towards Jason again. "I never stopped caring about you either Jason. I'm so sorry for what I did."
*******Emily's Doctor's Appointment
Emily reaches over the desk and shakes Dr. Meadow's hand with a smile. "Thank you again Dr. Meadow's. I'll see you at my next appointment." She says. She grabs her purse and walks out of the office and down the hallway to meet Nikolas. Seeing him in the sitting area she walks over with a smile. "Hey." She says as she sits down across from him.
Nikolas smiles when Emily sits down and he sits up, resting his elbows on his knees. "How was your appointment?" he asks.
"It went good. Dr. Meadow's says there is no sign of the sickness." She says with a smile. "Did you get what you needed from the office?" she asks.
Nikolas nods his head. "Yeah, I did." He says as he looks at her.
Emily looks up at Nikolas and reaches over and touches his hand lightly. "Nikolas, I just want to thank you. If it wasn't for you than I don't think that I would be here right now." She says.
Nikolas looks up at her. "Em, don't say that. It wasn't just me that helped you through everything. You had Zander as well." He says.
Emily smiles and shakes her head. "Nikolas, Zander was a big help, yes. But you were the one that got me back." She says. She stands up and walks over and sits down on the couch next to Nikolas, facing him. "I have to tell you something." She says softly, looking at him.
Nikolas turns to look at her, wondering what she was going to say.
"Nikolas, when I was on the verge of death in my bed and was unconscious, I had told Zander that with his love he pulled me back and made me open my eyes." She says. She lets out some breath and looks at Nikolas. "But I lied to him. It wasn't him Nikolas, it was you. You kissed me.and then I came back." She says.
Nikolas stares at her and then reaches out for her hands. "Emily, I had the same dream. I was in the hospital room next to yours and I had that dream. You were wearing a wedding dress and I kissed you. Then I saw a bright light and you woke up." He says.
Emily takes in some breath and looks at Nikolas, her lips slightly parted.
Nikolas stares back at her, glances down at her lips and then back to her eyes.
Emily catches his look and stares back at him and then pulls her eyes away. "So, are you ready to go see Elizabeth?" she asks quickly changing the subject and slowly standing up. She looks down at Nikolas as she puts her purse over her shoulder.
"Um, yeah. Let's go." He says and stands up. He rests his hand on Emily's lower back as he leads her down the hallway towards Elizabeth's room. It was killing him inside just walking next to Emily.
Emily could feel the butterflies in her stomach again as Nikolas rested his hand on her lower back. Just the slightest touch from him could make her go crazy inside. She turns her head to look at him and smiles softly when he looks back. His eyes always managed to capture her. She pulls her face away slowly as they come to Elizabeth's door.
Jason pulls the chair closer to her bed and reaches out for her hand, gently taking it into his. "Elizabeth, don't pull away." he says when he feels her start to jerk her hand away. "Elizabeth, what I said is true. I want to be here. I've missed you." He says, that last part in a whisper.
