It was a few days before Thanksgiving when Elizabeth woke up in her bed with a sleeping Franco. It started off as a nice friendship but she knew that he was wearing her down. He just seemed so great for both Jake and herself. Aiden and Cam liked him too and the five of them became like a family. There was so much sadness lately for Elizabeth and a couple of bumps in the road too.

The hardest thing for Elizabeth was that her best friend had died. Sabrina was a breath of fresh air to everyone who knew and loved her. Liz was broken up about her death but it was really hard to see other people she loved and cared about grieve for her too. Michael was so heartbroken about Sabrina's death. The only thing that made her feel better was the fact that she was able to help solve her best friend's murder.

When Elizabeth thought back on the night that she was pushed, she blamed her sister, Hayden. When she found out that Hayden was not responsible then she realized that the only person who was around at that time and also made her feel like a bit creeped out. The DA was someone who was supposed to protect everyone was the one person who had killed her best friend.

When she thought about it she was not sure who she could trust. She talked to Anna and told her about her suspicions. Anna took in what she said and knew that Elizabeth was right. The picture of the shoes and pants could be blown up and then she would find the evidence.

Anna then went to see Paul. She asked him about his theory on the Serial Killer at General Hospital. She knew him too well but the same could be said for Paul with her. He looked at her and he knew that she knew something.

She saw the shoes first and then the pants. Paul looked at her but he knew it was too late. She had already given the signal for Dante and Nathan. The detectives came in with a search warrant to search the DA's hotel room.

The DA was soon arrested for all the crimes that he had committed. Sabrina was finally able to rest in peace. Her family and friends were feeling a little better but it would never be the same without her. Monica did make a full recovery so at least her last moments

Franco was able to help Liz feel that she everything she could to bring Sabrina's killer to death. She knew that she did help but she was shocked that it even happened. Their friendship turned into something more. They had both kissed but nothing more really happened. Then one day the kiss turned into something more. It took them both by surprise and it was one that was a long time in coming.

Franco had eaten dinner with Liz and her boys. He watched them get ready for bed and then Liz and he sat down to watch a couple of movies. They watched a couple of horror movies and Liz kept jumping right on top of Franco. Franco laughed at her because the horror movies were nothing like the horror stories of their lives. He had his arm around her and she fell asleep in his arms.

She woke up when they got to bed. She started to kiss him. It was slow at first and then the kisses deepen. They fell asleep together in her bed. They woke up the next day and started to get things ready for Thanksgiving.

The boys were excited about having Thanksgiving in their new home. Jake was invited to the Quartermaine mansion but he wanted to stay home because he heard all the stories about the past dinners there and he could have pizza any day. Liz had invited her grandmother but she didn't want to go there if Franco was there. She was happy with just the five of them anyway.

Liz made the pies while the boys and Franco went to the grocery store to pick up more food. They decided that their mom needed to have more friends come over and so they went to a few places and talked to Epiphany and Felix. Franco asked them if they would like to spend Thanksgiving at Elizabeth's home with them. They said yes. There were a couple other people they asked but they were either working or busy.

The guys made it home and told Liz about Felix and Epiphany coming over the next day and she was very happy about that. Franco kept the boys entertained while Liz made sure that everything was the way she wanted it for the next day.

Jason had come over to ask Liz if Jake could go over and spend some time with him, Sam and Danny. He would have him home before his dinner tomorrow. She let him but she was not happy about being asked at the last minute. Aiden and Cam were a bit disappointed and that was another reason why Liz was upset.

Cam and Aiden came to think of Jason as being another surrogate dad for them because Lucky was never around. They liked Franco but thought of him as a big kid that never really grew up. They hung with Franco for the rest of day and Liz straightened out the house for company the next day. Her new place was a bit smaller so it was easier to clean but it felt more homey in a way because there wasn't so much wasted space.

She had thought about starting her Christmas shopping on the day after Thanksgiving and started a list of things to get her sons and her friends. Franco was at the top of the list for friends but wasn't really sure where it was headed. She wanted to believe that they could be a real couple but she had so many doubts about love. It was not just about her but her poor choices and the things that Franco did in the past were terrible. He even kidnapped Aiden when he was a newborn and gave him to his mother.

She believed that he had changed his ways but she also believed that Jason truly loved her. How can she trust someone with her heart if she couldn't even trust herself? She had a couple of drinks and then the Aiden, Cam and Franco came in from playing ball outside. Liz didn't quiet seem herself but she just wanted to try to let go of her anxiety and fear.

Dinner was pizza that the family made together. Cam and Aiden made their favorites on one pizza. The other pizza was a creation of Franco and Liz. The boys laughed when they saw the adult version of their pizza. The pizza was done and soon it was time to eat. The boys picked out some action packed movies and the four of them sat down on the couches and watched the movies while eating pizza and drinking soda.

The third movies were almost done when Aiden was just about asleep. Franco helped Liz bring him up to bed. Cam went upstairs and went on his laptop. It was early in California so he was chatting up a storm with Emma.

Franco and Liz went to bed early that night. The two of them made love for the first time and it was very special. Liz felt at peace with her decision and she wrapped herself up in Franco's big strong arms.

Liz fell into a blissful sleep and then was awoken in bed by her three sons and Jason. They were telling their mother to hurry downstairs and see what Santa had brought for them.
