Liz and Jess are all grown up

part 5

The next morning Elizabeth woke up laying on the floor, not remembering if what had happened last night was just a dream. Feeling as if someone was watching her she opened her eyes to see Conner sitting at the end of his bed watching her.

"I was wondering when you were going to wake up" said Conner smiling.

"How did I end up in your bed?" Elizabeth asked slightly confused. "Weren't we...didn't we...in the bathroom?" she asked as she slowly sat up.

Laughing Conner nodded "Yeah, we were in the bathroom, You fell asleep shortly after, and I didn't think you wanted to sleep on the floor, and I know I didn't, so I carried you in here"

"But where did you sleep?" she asked still slightly confused.

"In here next to you, you didn't really think after what happened last night I was still going to sleep on the couch did you? Oh before I forget, I made you breakfast" he said giving her one of his half smiles.

"I didn't know..."said Elizabeth blushing slightly "You know how to cook food?"

Gives her a hurt look "Are you doubting my cooking skills?" he asked as he went out into the living room to get something, and returned with a McDonalds bag in his hand. "And Breakfast is served, you do like Egg McMuffin's right?" he asked handing her one, and taking out two more for himself.

Laughing as Elizabeth began to eat it "And what would you have done, if I didn't like them?"

"Simple, I would have ate it for you" he said as he started in on his second one.

At that second the phone rang. Getting up Conner went to go answer his phone only to return a minute later holding the cordless phone out for Elizabeth to take.

"Who is it?" she asked as she hesitantly reached for the phone.

"It's you sister, I called her this morning and gave her my number, incase your kids want to talk to you...or you know...Todd" he said as she finally took the phone. "I'll be in the living room if you need me" he said as he got up, closing the door on his way out to give her some privacy.

"Jess?" Elizabeth said once she was alone.

"Hey, how are you doing after last night?" asked Jessica

"I was doing good before you reminded me about it all" she said in a half-teasing voice.

"Well listen, Todd call over here this morning, I guess he assumed that you'd be staying over here until farther notice" said Jessica finally getting to the point of her call.

"And? Where did you tell him I was?" asked Elizabeth feeling herself getting nervous.

"Don't worry, I covered for you. I told him that I asked you to run out to the store to get a few things for me. But listen, he wanted to know if you would mind stopping by the house this morning, if your not ready for it I'm sure he'll understand..." Jessica said taking a pause.

"No, I'll have to face him sooner or later, I might as well get this over with now, I guess" Elizabeth said with a sigh.

"Listen Liz, you know you can talk to be about anything..." said Jessica.

"I know, thanks Jess, I'm just not ready to talk yet" said Elizabeth rubbing the back of her neck.

"I know, Liz, and I know that you'll talk to me when your ready, but Liz, I have to ask you...did you sleep with Conner last night?" Jessica asked.

"What? What makes you think that I slept with Conner last night, especially after what happened?" asked Elizabeth getting defensive.

"Liz, you don't have to lie to me. I'm your twin, I know you better then anyone else does...I saw the way you were looking at Conner when you two left last night, besides I can tell when your lying to me" said Jessica who even though Elizabeth hated to admit it was right. She did know her sister better then anyone else did.

Sighing Elizabeth finally said "Fine, Yes I slept with Conner last night, are you happy now Jess?"

"That's not the question you should be asking...You should be asking yourself if your happy, and if you are, then you know what you have to do...you have to tell Todd that you want a divorce". Said Jessica "You know, it feels good to be the one giving the advice for once...we should have these kind of talks more often"

"Gee thanks, Now I know who to run to the next time I cheat on my husband" Said Elizabeth teasing her sister.

"Oh you know what I mean, and lets hope there is no next time!"

"Your right, thanks Jess, I needed this, I'll call you later and tell you how it went at the house" Said Elizabeth saying bye to her sister after promising to give the kids her love.

After getting dressed in something that Jessica had let her barrow last night Elizabeth walked out into the living room and placed the phone in it's place and sank into the rocking chair, before finally saying something to Conner who was sitting on the couch watching her. "That was Jess, Todd call this morning...he wants me to stop by the house this morning" she said without looking up.

"Will you be okay going over there alone? I could always call work and tell them I'm sick, and go with you if you need" said Conner who was still watching her.

Shaking her head slightly as she said "No, don't do that, you go to work, I'll be fine...besides I need to do this alone, and I don't think that you coming with me would make things any easier right now...for any of us" said Elizabeth. But Conner knew what she really meant. That it wouldn't be easy for Todd, seeing the two of them together.

"Okay, but promise you'll call me if you need anything" Said Conner.

"I will, I promise" said Elizabeth as she got up and headed for the door stopping when she opened it "wish me luck" she said as she closed the door and headed for her car.
