She smiled. "I remember but, We bailed along time ago."
He thought about it, they had he wasn't even sure who had first anymore. But as always he could
never say good bye to this woman she was a part of him. He had never lied to her before but
could he risk telling her the truth. If he told her he loved her what if she didn't feel the same way.
Could his heart take it. Finally he made up his mind and said.......
"I don't know how to say goodbye to you. I've never been able to."
"We said our goodbye's awhile ago." She said with tears in her eyes.
"If that's true why did you let me stay?" He asked
"Let you. Hah. Like I could make you leave."
"Do you want me to go?" He wondered if she said yes and meant it would he still be able to go?
"Yes and No." She said quietly.
"What?"
"I want you to go so you'll be safe. But I don't want to say goodbye either. I Can't."
"Why not?" He fished.
"No way Morgan. I asked first."
"Do you want the truth?" He asked.
"Always." she responded.
"I lo.." He began but was interrupted by the radio. He wasn't sure if he was relived or wanted to
smash the thing to bits.
"Lucky are you there?"
"Yeah Nicholas what's up is Em ok?"
"She's fine. Sonny and Carly just showed up and they have, They have Elisabeth's baby with them."
"Her baby? Is she? Nicholas tell me she's not dead." The fear evident in his voice.
"They said Jason stayed with her but, she wanted them to get her baby to safety."
"Thank god she's ok."
"What do you mean she's still trapped in here." Nicholas shouted.
"Jason wont let anything happen to her. Neither of us like they guy but he would do anything for Liz and you know it."
"I know. I just wish she was up here with us. Or better yet at home safe."
"Me to. How's everyone holding up?"
"Not great."
"Hold on a sec." Short pause. "Good news Nicholas. The winds died down enough to land a chopper. It will be there in five minutes."
"Great I'll let everyone know."
Liz turned to Jason excited. "Thank god. The helicopters are landing. Adela's going to get out!" She flung her arms around Jason. Happy tears flowing down her cheeks.
"You see everything's working out." He took her face in his hands brushing her tears away with his thumbs. Before either had a chance to think about it he leaned in and kissed her.
Versailles room:
"Courtney stop, I not stealing anything." He tried to calm her down.
"You don't think Rick will let you get away with stealing his baby do you!" She screamed
grabbing the attention of the entire room.
Nicholas returned from balcony where he had gone to speak to Lucky just in time for Courtney's outburst. He looked to Emily confused, but she simply shrugged her shoulders unsure of what was going on herself. Justice decided to step in. "Quiet!" He yelled. Once everyone was silenced he continued. "Emily, Nicholas. I think We should step out on the balcony for a moment we have legal matters to discuss pertaining to you and the Corinthos."
"What do you mean?" Emily asked confused.
"I think it's better to discuss this away from the hysteria." He answered She nodded and began to stand.
"Wait" Nicholas began. " I just got word the helicopters will be landing in five minutes. Everyone should remain here and wait for instructions. While everyone was busy shouting and hugging each other they slipped out onto the balcony.
"What?" Nicholas asked once the door was closed.
"You should read this." Justice answered handing them Liz's note.
He and Emily quickly read it and looked up surprised. "I don't understand." Emily began. "Why would she leave Adela to you guys?"
"We were just as surprised as you are." Carly answered. "She said she had no doubt you would take care of her but, she didn't want put that much pressure on you, you guys aren't even married yet."
"If you want her we wont fight you." Sonny added.
"No, I mean if it's what she wanted, then, god I can't do this. We're acting like she's already gone." Emily said sobbing. "Can't this wait?"
"Not really" Justice answered. "We need to clear this up before we get on the ground."
"Why!" she yelled. Her best friend couldn't die. They would make it out and so would she. None of this would matter. She had to believe that.
"Calm down Em. We all hope she'll make it out. But Justice is right we need to have a united front against Rick." Nicholas explained understanding why it had to be dealt with now.
"I know but, when she asked us to be god parents I never thought." She started sobbing again.
"No one does." Sonny tried to calm her down. "I'm sure Jason will get Liz out and none of this will matter but, we need to keep Rick away from Adela, I promised I would."
"Thanks, Sonny." Emily smiled. "I don't know what to do?" She said turning to Nicholas.
"Well, Liz had a point. We're not married yet. Plus we're broke and you want to go to med school." He began. "But, on the other hand she's our best friend."
"I know all that." Emily began pausing to think "I think, we should do what she asked. I mean, if she thinks the best place for Adela is with Sonny and Carly then maybe we should respect that."
"Ok" Justice said. "Now when boarding for the helicopters begins The baby will be on the first flight. Who's going with her?"He asked.
"Emily will already have a seat because she's hurt." Nicholas stated.
"No! I'm not leaving you." Emily argued.
"Yes you are." He said leaving no room for arguments."She can take Adela." Sonny and Carly nodded in agreement.
"No" Justice cut in. "No offence Emily but, your going to be taken to the hospital right away. We need someone who can stay with her at all times giving Rick no chance to get near her."
"Carly will go." Sonny answered. "Then at least we're sure the boys will have one of us."
"But Sonny." She began to argue.
"Carly." He interrupted. "The boys need you and I promise I'll get out." He turned to Emily. "I promise I'll get myself and Nicholas out."
"Thank you" Emily replied.
A sudden commotion in the room alerted them that the Chopper had arrived. "Lets go" Sonny said opening the door.
Hotel Room:
After a few minutes they finally pulled apart to breath. Elisabeth looked at Jason surprised.
"I love you." He finally found the courage to admit. When she started to cry he was sure he made a huge mistake. "I'm sor.." He began but Liz cut him off.
"Don't you dare say your sorry." She said between sobs.
"I don't understand." He said.
"I love you to." She laughed throwing herself into his arms. He forgot about everything Sonny, Carly, Courtney, his job and the fire. He had finally gotten his life back. He let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. It seemed to him he had been holding it ever since she had walked out of the penthouse and his life. He was determined to make sure she never left again.
But the sound of explosions below them snapped them out of their personal heaven. "We have to get out of here." Jason said. "I can't lose you again."
"You'll never lose me, I don't know anyone else with a motorcycle." She joked.
"I knew you were just using me for my bike, Webber." He teased back. Helping her get dressed. He picked up her boots and laughed. "Eight months pregnant and your wearing these?" He said holding up a black boot. "The heals must be about four inches."
"Five." She said sticking her tongue out at him. "A girls got to look her best." she joked. Once she had her boots on he held out his hand to help her up. It reminded her of the day in the park. He held out his hand and offered her the world. She wouldn't make the same mistake twice. She couldn't let him go again. But, he always seemed to come back. Maybe Sonny was right, and they were meant to be.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
She took his hand and without hesitating said. "Anywhere with you."
He smiled as he pulled her off the bed and led her to the door. Once in the hallway he opened the stairwell door. There was a lot more smoke than before but, it was their only chance. "We'll go up to the helicopters." As soon as the words were out of his mouth a huge beam fell blocking their path upwards. Liz turned to him panicked.
"What do we do now?"
Versailles Room:
An EMT entered the room. "Everyone quiet." He shouted. "Ok The Chopper seats Seven We have Four teenagers and one child (I know it's two on the show but I needed another seat.) They take priority and I was told there was an injured woman." He looked around.
"Right here." Nicholas began walking Emily up to the man with Carly and Sonny close behind.. "We also have an new born." He added.
"I wasn't told of any pregnant women being up here." He began. "The baby will go with her mother." He said trying to hurry things along.
"Her mother is still trapped somewhere in the building. Carly started to explain.
"Ok we don't have time who's going down with the baby." He asked.
"She is." Sony said Kissing Carly on the cheek.
"Ok, Lets go." He moved to help Emily. But, she clung to Nicholas not wanting to leave him.
"Miss we don't have time for this." The EMT was growing impatient.
Sonny helped him pry Emily off Nicholas. "Hey I remember I promised to get him out." Sonny reassured her. She nodded and allowed herself to be carried away. Sonny turned to Carly.
"Sonny I ..." She couldn't do it. How could she say goodbye?
'Carly go, I'll be ok." He kissed her and Adela. "I'll meet you at the hospital."
The helicopter was finally loaded and took off everyone left wondered if would it come back
Everyone in the room began to argue about who would be on the next flight. Then Luke came up with the lottery Idea on which everyone agreed. There were twenty people left and no one was sure three more flights would even be possible. Sonny drew out his number and held his breath opening the paper he was relived to find the number 4 written on it he turned to Nicholas who was grinning "Number 2" he said.
Stairwell:
"I guess we have to go down." Jason answered.
"But the explosions, They came from below us." She cried.
"Do you trust me?" He asked.
"Yes." She answered.
"If you don't want to go down we can go back to the room and wait for help. We're in this together no matter what." He replied.
She knew he would. He would sit their and die instead of leaving her. "No bailing." she responded.
"Right, so what do you want to do." He asked.
"Let's go down." She answered.
Outside the Hotel:
The helicopter landed and the occupant were rushed out. Alan and Ned hugged Emily and Dillion. Lucky rushed over hugging Emily then turned to Carly staring at the infant in her arms. Hoping She was not all he had left of his best friend. 'I should get Rick." He said the tone of his voice showing his dislike of the man.
"NO!" Carly and Emily shouted at once. He looked at them stunned.
"It's a long story but, Elisabeth doesn't want him near her baby." Emily began. "We need to get her out of here before he notices her."
Lucky Glanced over his shoulder where Rick was again speaking to the media. He was relived Liz finally wised up about the guy. "Ok" Lucky began steering the group towards the waiting ambulances. "You two go with her to the hospital. Rick's busy right now but, once he's done smiling for the cameras we wont be able to keep him away."
'No I want to wait For Nicholas." Emily began.
"He's on the next flight down. So is Sonny." Lucky added turning to Carly. "I promise to tell them were you went."
"He's right Em, You need to get your leg looked at." Alan Added.
Once the women were put in the ambulance and it took off speeding towards GH the men turned around to see angry Rick.
"Were the hell is my daughter?" He demanded.
Alan had no Idea what was going on So he and Ned took Dillion and the rest of the teens to be checked out for smoke inhalation. Leaving Lucky to deal with Rick.
"On her way to the hospital." he answered honestly.
"What why didn't you come find me! I think I have a right to see my child." He yelled.
"Emily took her, we figured you would want her to be checked out right away." Lucky said, leaving out the parts about Carly and Liz wanting him to have no contact.
"Fine, I'll just go there." He responded. But, was called back to oversee the rescue efforts leaving him unviable to go.
Lucky was relived as he walked away he had no Idea what was going on but was sure things were not going to going the ADA's way anytime soon. He watched as the helicopter landed making it's second complete trip, and rushed over hugging his brother as he steeped off.
"Any word about Liz and Jason?" Nicholas asked.
"Not yet will one of you tell me what's going on Emily and Carly said something about keeping Rick away from Liz's baby." Lucky asked.
"Long story." Nicholas answered.
"So I hear, anyway Em, Carly and the baby all left for the hospital. You guys should go." Lucky told them. "I'll call if I hear anything."
"Thanks." Sonny said Taking off with Nicholas close behind.
"Eventually someone got to tell me what the hell is going on, right?" Lucky asked but there was noone around to answer. Sighing he went back to prepare for the next load of survivors.
