Hey everyone. Sorry for my break. I only got like two reviews on the last
chapter, so I wasn't sure how interested anyone was in this thing. Please
review, even if it's to critique something, like if the story is starting
to move too slowly, or if something isn't accurate. Just review. It makes a
huge impact on how quickly I update. So please R&R!!!!

She looked into her monitor. A smile crossed her lips as she watched her husband, Sonny Corinthos, pace back and forth within the confides of their penthouse. He was worried about her, no doubt about it. She could see the stress radiating off of him through the screen.
Carly's heart broke, knowing that she was the reason for his heart ache. She wasn't at fault, but she knew that had she not been involved somehow, she'd be home watching their son play, wrapped in Sonny's arms, stroking their baby that she carried.
It killed him knowing he couldn't be out here searching for her. Watching him climb the ceilings was proof enough for that. She was just grateful that Michael was there to keep him stable. He had something of theirs to hold on too, to focus on. She knew that was all he needed to keep it together until she came back to him.
Now her only hope was Jason.
She wished she had a monitor on him. That way she could at least make sure he was okay. The guards here told her nothing, although she knew they knew exactly where he was. But the knews about Jason not being reachable from Courtney and Sonny's previous conversation unnerved her. She just prayed with everything in her that he was alright.

Adrenaline coursed through his veins. Jason knew they were close, he could taste it. Elizabeth had surprised him. Her words had been few that morning, as if she tasted the adrenaline too.
A note of sadness whispered into his thoughts. It wasn't that he was ready to be home or find Carly. It was that he knew reality was anxiously awaiting the moment where it could destroy the saction that he and Elizabeth had created out in the forgotten paradise.
He shook his head. It was time to get back to life as he knew it. "Time to row with the other slaves" he thought sadly to himself. Whether or not he wanted to face it, once he took Liz back to Port Charles, he would be handing her back to her life. The life that no longer included him.
But whose fault was that, Morgan? She laid everything out on the table for you. She doesn't want to go back to the life waiting for her. And what did you have to answer to that? Silence. What you do best. She didn't know what she was asking for. She didn't understand that they had been down this road before, and he couldn't put her through that again. He couldn't put himself through that again. He had to go back to his life, and let go of his heart in the process.
*"What about you, what do you want?"*
Her safe, that's what he wanted, needed. And the only way that was possible was him out of her life.
"Jason look," he heard Elizabeth breathe against his neck. She had pulled him down to the ground as if to not be seen, but there was no one in sight. He looked her in the eye only to realize she was looking past him. He followed her gaze.
"Oh my go-"
"That's it, that's where they've got Carly,"
She was right. In front of them stood a fort larger than Sonny's pent house. It was camoflouged in vines and bushes, but it was there nonetheless. He began to stand, but felt Liz tug at his arm. He looked straight into crystal eyes.
"What is it Elizabeth?" he whispered. She averted his gaze, and looked down at his hands. Her small hand intertwined itself into his, lacing them together finger by finger. Jason stared down at them watching her memorize his hands.
"Jason, before we go in there, I just wanted to say that I." she paused to look into his face, "am going to stand right next to through all of this. Be safe Jason. Please."
"Only if you are," she cracked a smile, "Liz, I'm not leaving thisplace without you. We're going to find Carly, and then we're getting out of there. I'll kill anyone who even tries to touch you."
Neither said anything for a moment. It was Elizabeth who broke the silence, "I'm scared." Jason didn't respond at first. He just quietly picked up her hand and brought it to his lips. He delicately kissed each finger tip, as if sealing the moment with each kiss.
She held her breath as he spoke, "No matter what happens in there, no matter what happens in Port Charles you need to know one thing; I should have never let you walk out of my pent house. You were everything to me, but you were too precious to me to watch you be tainted by the life I have chosen to lead. I can't ask you to fogrive me for not fighting for you. You deserved someone who recognized you're value, and could cherish and protect it. Something I could never do properly. But that doesn't mean for one second that you didn't take my breath away every moment you stepped into a room. Know this, you were never second best in my heart."
Tears glistened in Elizabeth's eyes. Words wouldn't form in her constricted throat. His bittersweet confession struck a cord deep within her buried heart. They had to survive this. She swiftly crashed her lips onto his, and pulled away just as quickly. "Let's go get Carly."

Not as long as usual, but I was just dying on this lack of Liason fanficiton. It was killing me. Sorry for any typos. It's late and my spell check isn't working tonight.
And yes, I'm dragging this story out, can you tell? (
But I didn't think anyone would mind that toooooo much, lol. Guys, please review. It really makes a difference on how quickly I get out a new chapter. Thanks!
