A/N: (sigh) You try to create a character that everyone will love, and everyone hates her-I don't know if that means I'm doing my job or not. I think it does though, I'm sure it does. Melody-I was thinking of another cartoon like the one you made last night, except this one shows her with the words "Got Bugs?" underneath it. Ok, we need to stop being mean to the girl. Gracie-I love you too. Nat-YAY! No Karissa today either, but wait until you see what she tries to pull off in the next episode. Everyone have a safe and happy Thanksgiving-remember what you are thankful for this year. Oh, and even be thankful that we had PC for 6 years. I'll take 6 over none at all. Until next time-gobble gobble-PCGirl.

Elizabeth stood there chatting with Erica. It seemed so wonderful to be in the middle of a social circle again. But this wasn't where she belonged, and she knew it. Where she belonged was in Port Charles with her daughter, and making designer clothes with 'George'. "Well, I must be going," she said to Erica. "If you are ever in the New York area, please call me," she said as she wrote down her cell phone number real quick.
"I will," smiled Erica as she gave her a kiss on each cheek.
Elizabeth was half way through the room when Melanie stepped into her path, "What now?" she spoke.
"We have a video we want to show before you leave," she said as she turned around and looked at her husband. Nodding her head Elizabeth watched as Clark leaned down and pushed play on the VCR. The next thing Elizabeth saw on the screen were still pictures of her childhood. The soiled clothes, the napped hair-everything she feared for others to see was being shown.

Rafe opened the passenger door, "Hey sweetie. Wake up for me, please," he begged as he picked her up in his arms. Her body didn't seem as limp, and her breathing had returned to normal on the drive over here. "I'm so sorry. I put too much stress on you. Please wake up for me," he said as he kissed her on the head, then walked into GH. "Help!" he called out and saw Ian.
"What happened?" asked Ian, as he found a gurney quickly and had Rafe lay her down on it.
"We were having a conversation, and it got heated."
"How heated, Rafe?" he said as Rafe didn't say anything but covered his eyes. "Rafe!"
"I didn't hit her, I never touched her. When I got mad, I left. I came back a few minutes later and she had collapsed," he said as he grabbed her hand. "What's wrong? Why won't she wake up?"
"Let me get her to a room, and see if some smelling salts will wake her up," he said as he wheeled the gurney to where Colleen had a room set up.
"If anything happens to her," said a distraught Rafe as he ran both his hands through his hair. He hadn't meant to break that picture. All he wanted to do was keep his family safe, and he seemed to be a lot more harm than good lately.
--------
Chris had seen Rafe bring Alison in, but saw Ian was under control of everything. He watched Rafe as he stood there in the middle of the area wondering what was going on. It wasn't Rafe's fault-whatever happened before was going to happen, it was just a matter of time. For a moment he thought about trying to talk to Rafe, but instead walked to the on-call room. "Alright, Elizabeth-if you don't come home for this, then you really are useless," he said as he dialed her cell phone.
"Hello?" said Elizabeth as she tried to not concentrate on what everyone else was watching in the room.
"It's Chris. Elizabeth, are you at a party?" he said as he heard laughter in the background, never guessing what was going.
"Chris, I can barely hear you. Is everything ok?"
"No it's not, but you don't seem to care. So just go on with your old life, hopefully your daughter can overcome this on her own, because she definitely doesn't need her old mother. She needs the one that had began to care about her," he said hanging up the phone.
But Elizabeth never heard a single word he said, the reception was so bad that all she heard was static. She looked back down at the phone, and then at all her friends laughing at her. Except for Reese-who like her was standing there in shock. Grabbing her purse she ran out of the apartment in tears.
--------
"Alright Rafe, you can come in," said Ian as he pulled back the curtain.
"Is she ok?" he asked as he walked in and saw her lying on the bed with her eyes opened. "Hey, Angel. How are you feeling?"
"You left me," she wheezed out.
"I came right back. I was the one that brought you here. Alison, I love you," he said as Ian kept an eye on her heart rate on the monitor.
"Rafe, can I talk to you outside?" he asked, interrupting the two.
"What is it? I need to be in there with her and the baby," snapped Rafe after being pulled out of the room by Ian.
"That's why I want to talk to you. Rafe, I know it was a shock that she slept with Caleb, and I know it hurt you, but for her health and safety as well as the baby's, you've got to put it aside for awhile."
"I try Ian. You know I try, but it keeps sneaking up on me. I'll be fine then somehow he shows up at the gym, or I see Livvie. So tell me what to do?"
"Here," said Ian as he removed his keys from his pocket, and took off a silver key. "This is the key to mine and Eve's apartment. You don't have to leave her completely, but for now-and whenever you feel yourself about to snap-go there and sleep it off."
-----------
"I need to go back in there and tell her then," he said as he started to return to his wife's side.
"No, I'll tell her you went back to the apartment. But for a few hours just go to mine and relax," he said giving his friend a pat on the back. "She'll be kept overnight for observation, so be ready to sleep in a really uncomfortable chair," he said with a laugh as he went back into Alison's room.
"Where's Rafe?" she asked, wanting him to be near her right now. He may have walked out on her, and caused her to stress so much she fainted, but she still wanted him near her.
"He went back to the apartment for a few things. He'll be back tonight though. I need to talk to you about something important though," he said, taking in a breath. "Alison, you've got to limit your stress for the next several months."
"So what are you saying, Ian? I need to avoid Rafe and this whole town as much as possible? What did you say to him out there?"
"Calm down first. I told him that his stressing over the father of this baby is putting your health in jeopardy. I gave him the key to my apartment, and told him that if he feels like he's about to explode on you, like he did today, then to go to the apartment and sleep it off."
"You have no right to do that, Ian!"
