A/N: Just for the record--I was doing what Alison is doing in the beginning of the chapter--that's what gave me inspiration for it. That and maybe yesterday's episodes. ;) Until next time--ya'll are the best and NO MORE TEARS!--PCGirl.

"Alison?" called Rafe as he came down from upstairs with his shoes in hand.

A muffled voice came from the kitchen, "In here Rafe."

Rafe walked in to see the refrigerator door wide open and an assortment of food sitting on the floor. He leaned over to see Alison sitting on the floor, her hair pulled up out of her face and half her body in the refrigerator, "What are you doing?" he said, trying not to laugh.

Alison pulled her head out of the fridge and looked up at him, exasperation on her face from the work at hand, "Someone broke a jar of the jam I was going to use for muffins—any idea as to who that might have been?"

Rafe couldn't help but grin, "No—I don't. Need some help?" he said coming around the door and squatting next to her.

"You know—I've known you to break my jars of jam and stuff before so it's ok if you just admit the truth that you did this," she said looking him dead in the eye.

"Hey—when have I ever broken your stuff?"

Alison wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry at his forgetfulness. She figured she'd forgive him, but first give him a little reminder, "Maybe this will refresh your memory," she said taking a swipe of the sticky concoction still on the shelf and wiped it on his face.

"Oh no you don't," he said with a loud laugh and did the same to her. They laughed and continued the sticky fight for a few more seconds before stopping and looking at each other. Rafe hadn't stopped smiling the whole time as he leaned in and began kissing off the small amount of jam that was near her mouth. He heard a soft moan leave her lips and he pulled back, "You didn't really think I forgot about the first time this happened, did you?"

"Well, your memory has been slowing down as you get older," joked Alison.

Rafe gave out a loud sigh, "Very funny. You know what—it's been so many years since we first met, and you are as beautiful now as you were then."

Alison's heart melted as she looked into his eyes. She smiled as she looked at him with jam on his face, "You still have some—right here," she said leaning into him and kissing it off. They stayed there on the kitchen floor for a few moments before hearing a cough above their heads, "Kate—hi."

Kate tried to act perturbed, but was in absolute awe of her parents love for each other still, "Will you two please get a room?" she said walking off, but once getting out of the room the biggest smile came upon her face.

"I swear I didn't mean anything when I told him the suggestion," said Leslie as she got into the backseat of Livvie's Suburban and pulled down the built in booster seat next to her so Noah could sit with her.

"I know you didn't mean anything by it. Chris just acts like that sometimes—right Livvie?" he laughed as he again tried to figure out why such a small thing like herself needed such a large SUV.

Livvie turned the rearview mirror so she could see Jack's face, "What am I agreeing on?"

"Chris—how he can be stubborn and then holds his true feelings in sometimes."

"He's being stupid," snorted Leslie as she finally got out of her grouchy mood when Noah leaned over and gave her a big laugh and smile.

"Remember when he was being too truthful, Jack? In the end he lost his job by kissing Amanda Barrington," she laughed.

"He kissed Lizzie's Nana?" said Leslie who looked up with huge green eyes.

"Geez, that feels like a lifetime ago," said Jack as he turned around to see his two children playing.

Livvie gave out a loud sigh and looked at her daughter in the next seat and then back to Jasmine, "Ok Jazz—someone better tell me and Tara this story or else we're not going anywhere."

"We were getting ready to leave and Leslie gave the suggestion that maybe when we go back home she'll come for a few weeks—."

"—And Dad all of a sudden decided he was too busy to come along, so he's going to stay home and sulk. Now let's hurry up and get over to Lizzie and Kate's or else we'll miss the movie—and I want to hear about Dad kissing Lizzie's Nana," spoke Leslie loudly as Livvie took the orders she'd just been given and drove out of the parking lot headed to Jamal's first to drop off Jack and Noah and pick up Imani.

"Oh my God—I feel like such a teenager being caught by her parents now," laughed Alison as she closed the bedroom door and turned to see Rafe standing there in front of her.

"Why do you say that," he said as he came over and lifted her chin up and gave her a kiss.

"Rafe—seriously—we were just caught by our daughter on the kitchen floor making out."

"I thought you were always one for taking risks," he said pulling her close.

"Not the type of risks where I get caught by my children. Anyways—we have to get ready," she said trying to get out of his grasp, "Come on Rafe—let go. Livvie is going to be here any minute, and you should have already left for Jamal's."

"The girls can go out to Mario's without you tonight, and the kids will be gone in a few minutes—no more interruptions," he said as he kissed her neck and grinned.

"Rafe, what has gotten into you today?"

He looked at her and smiled, "You were talking about our first kiss, and I was hoping to relive it."

"We did, and just like the first time we were caught this time," she said as she stared up at him and got lost in his eyes.

"Bye Mom!" yelled both Tara and Leslie as they hopped into Kate's car with Lizzie and drove off.

Livvie smiled as she watched the car pull away, "I'm going to be so freaked out when Tara can finally drive—only another year."

"Yeah, well I've got a few more with Leslie—of course Chris will probably be doing the teaching," she said rolling her eyes.

Livvie started shaking her head and moved her bangs out of her face, "Don't worry about Chris. He gets that way sometimes, but he'll be fine by tonight—I promise you."

"Oh, when you were telling the story about Chris before you kept giving a smile—want to share with me your little secret," smiled Jasmine.

Livvie laughed and grinned, "Let's just say it's something between me, Alison, and Port Charles' resident angel." They walked back in and saw Imani sitting on the couch looking towards the steps, "They still haven't come down?"

"No—maybe we should just leave?"

Livvie took a second and shook her head, "No—Alison is coming with us tonight, and I'm going to make sure of it," she said bounding up the steps and beginning to bang on the door, "Hey Kovich's—come on, get a move on! Our reservations to Mario's won't be good all night."

"I think I'm going to stay in," hollered Alison as she wrapped the bedcovers around her more.

"No, you are coming with us and that's all there is to it. I'm giving you five minutes and then I'm coming in—and Rafe, I've seen you without clothes on before so don't think I won't come in there this time."

Rafe faked a shiver and Alison slapped him on the chest as she suppressed a giggle, "Fine, I'll be down there in a few."

Livvie walked down proudly into the living room with a smirk on her face, "She'll be down soon."

Jasmine could tell something just happened up there, but as to what she had no clue, "What did you say?"

Livvie laughed, "I didn't say anything really—just ruined the moment."
