Alright, here's your fluff update kids, with a tiny bit of drama mixed in. I'm still not really sure where this is going, so the next chapter might be the end, or it might be some sort of dramatic climax, I don't know. Any opinions?

Chapter Seven

"Wakey wakey..." Elizabeth spoke in a singsong voice.

"Mhmhm." Jason grumbled, burying his head in the pillow.

"Who knew. Jason Morgan, night person. Come on, wake up." She placed brief kisses on his shoulders and the back of his neck.

"Hmh."

"Jas-son..."

He opened his eyes, and was confronted with a wall of hibiscus flowers. Right. Pillowcase. He rolled over to look into the eyes of his amused lover.

"Good morning grumpy." She was disgustingly chippy.

"Do you always talk like a demented pre-school teacher first thing in the morning?" He asked, genuinely horrified at the idea.

She laughed. "No, I'm just trying to torment you." Sitting next to him on the bed, she dropped a kiss on his mouth. It quickly went from casual to crazy, and they pulled back, breathing erratically.

"I think you should move out of your grandmothers." The words tumbled out of Jason's mouth.

Liz chuckled. "Oh, you do, do you?"

He looked at her seriously. "I think you should move in with me."

"What?" Her mouth went dry.

WHAT? Jason thought to himself. Had he actually said that?

"Jason?"

"um..." Apparently so. "I... uh..." Well, why not? "...think you should move in with me."

"Why?" She hoped she didn't sound accusing, but she had to be sure that he wasn't saying what he was saying because he thought she needed him to take care of her. Sure, she might have fantasized, oh, a billion times about them getting back together, but nothing less than the real thing would be enough.

"I love you." He said softly.

Hotdog!

"You do?"

"I've loved you since the day brought home that ragged little tree and taught me to love Christmas." And, like the floodgates had opened, he found words flooding out. "Every time I saw you with Ric was like salt being rubbed into a stab wound. And when you were in the hospital. God Elizabeth." His voice cracked. "I was sitting there, and I told you that you had to leave him... and your heart just stopped."

"Jason." She lay her head on his chest, hugging him.

"The sound of that monitor flat lining- and there was nothing I could do." He pulled her up so she was looking into his face. "It was the worst moment of my life. And I had to go on with my life after it. Try to look at Courtney without letting her see how it changed me. Because I realized that nothing I felt for her, could ever compare." Jason heard the words and froze. If ever someone had crawled out on a limb...

"Jason...I had no idea. I thought, well I thought that I was the only one who missed us. Cause I have. I've missed you so, so much. I love you too. I don't know when I realized it, because I can't remember my life before I did." She paused. "I, uh, know things are a little complicated because of Cameron, but-"

"Elizabeth, I love you. That means I love Cameron too. I hope you'll let me be a father to him-"

He broke off when his air source was compromised by her fierce hug. "Of course! You idiot!"

"So does that mean you'll move in?" He asked again.

"Um..." His heart stopped. "Well, it's just that... well, Sam seems...nice... and all, but I don't know-"

"Elizabeth. She'll move out first." Stupid not to have clarified that. No wonder she was hesitant.

"Oh! Then, yes!"

"Yes?"

"Mm hmm." These last words were slurred, it being hard to talk and kiss properly at the same time."
