Chapter 21

Elizabeth woke to the feeling of someone brushing her hair. She sat up abruptly, "Jason?"

He smiled weakly, "morning Elizabeth."

Elizabeth instantly felt the tears begin to cascade down her cheeks. Jason hugged her the best he could, "don't cry."

"You tell me not to cry when my husband was in an accident? Are you insane?" She scolded.

"Sorry." He said.

Elizabeth sat up and composed herself. She suddenly felt relief. Jason was going to be okay, he was awake and talking, that was all that mattered to her at the moment. She wondered how long he had been awake. Or had she woke him up, had she crushed him while she was sleeping? Oh God, she thought.

"Are you alright?" She asked biting her bottom lip, like she always did out of nervous habit.

He smiled, "I am much better now that you are talking to me."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, she had forgotten all about how she was angry with him. "I meant physically, how are you doing?"

"Sore, but I have felt worse." He said.

He then motioned for Elizabeth to sit with him again, she hesitated then slowly sat down making sure there was visible space between them. She did not want to injure him anymore than he already was. Jason sensed her fear and called her on it, "I wouldn't leave you."

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"You are scared that something is wrong with me. I can see that you have been worrying." He said.

"Well, you are my husband, I love you. I don't know what I would do if you..." she stopped.

"Well you don't even have to think about that, I dont plan on leaving you anytime soon." He assured her.

Elizabeth smiled then kissed his lips softly. "I was so afraid I wasn't going to get to say I love you."

"Shhh, I don't want you to make yourself sick over this. I am going to be just fine," he told her.

"I know but-"

Jason cut her off, "no buts, you have to take care of yourself and the baby. Worrying is not the way to do that."

She smiled, "okay."

Chmiel Household

Matt walked into the bedroom, "hey, what are you doing?"

Talisa looked up from the papers she was holding, "Matt, I received a letter in the mail today."

"That's rare," he teased.

Talisa didn't find the humor in the comment,"Matt, I was adopted."

"What do you mean?" He wasn't sure he had heard her correctly.

"I called my parents to tell them that I was coming to visit them and they said that it was fine, but that they had sent me something in the mail. I got it today, they adopted me right after I was born."

"Oh hun, this isn't a bad thing though," he offered.

"No, I have a twin brother. Matt, he lives here in Port Charles." Talisa cried on her husband's shoulder.

Matt began to wonder, who could it be? Had they passed him on the streets? Talisa sat up after a few minutes of sobbing, this was so new to her, she was in shock.

"I don't know what to feel." She confessed.

"Do you want to find your brother?" He asked.

Talisa's eyes grew, she hadn't told him the worst part of it all, "Matt, I know who he is."

She handed him the paper, her ands were shaking. He took the paper from her hands, his eyes skimmed the top then moved down the bottom, that's when he saw it. Biological Twin Brother, Jason Morgan Quartermaine.

"What the hell."

"I can't believe this is happening." Talisa cried.

Jason Morgan was Talisa's brother, which made him Matt's brother-in-law. The man he had been sent here to put in prison was now a member of his family. Their lives were going to be affected in the most pwerful way. Was Talisa going to even try to get to know Jason?

"Ho-how is this going to work?" He had to ask.

Talisa shrugged, "he is my brother Matt. What do you think? I think he has to the right to know who I am."

Matt yulped back the pain, his wife had a brother, but not just any brother, a mob enforcer. Jason Morgan was not the big brother that Talisa deserved. This was insane, Matt thought.

"This is crazy Talisa. You can't honestly think that-"

"Don't start Matt, I just found out myself." She warned him.

"I am sorry. I didn't mean to come off so bossy." Matt stated as he rubbed her back, the baby had been giving her some back pains.

"It's fine, you are just protective. I know. Can I have some time to myself, I just need to think right now." She asked then gave him a quick peck on the lips.

Matt nodded, "okay. I will be in the living room if you need anything."

Talisa nodded, "okay." She watched her husband leave their bedroom, making sure Matt closed the door completely before throwing herself on their bed. Talisa let herself cry, she had a twin brother. Jason Morgan, her husband's enemy. "God help me." She cried, "God please help me!"
