AN:

So this is it. The last chapter.- Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about that or this chapter. I wouldn't go so far as to say it sucks but- you might. This fic started over a year ago based off of a scene I saw on GH. I hope that this was at least as good as the show. It can't possibly be worse. LOL

I have some more new fics planned including another Matt/Elizabeth. Although it may be September before the new stuff gets posted. My plan is to wrap up several more ongoing fics first. Stop laughing. I will finish them- someday.

As always questions, comments, ect are welcome.

Chapter Ten

There was a time Matt would have been happy to never see Port Charles again. However, after spending the last two weeks in Arizona he was happy to be back home. He never imagined Port Charles would be home but it was. He realized it the moment he stepped off the plane in Albuquerque. The desert town was filled with memories though. Things he wanted to share with Elizabeth. The trip had gone perfectly better then Matt had planned.

He pulled Elizabeth closer as she stirred. Over the last few weeks, Matt had gotten used to waking like this. Pressing a kiss to her forehead and whispered. "Morning."

"Ugh it's too early up be up.," she mumbled

"I don't think Epiphany would appreciate us being late our first day back."

"I guess not," she agreed glancing at the clock. It was several hours until they need to be at GH. "We have a little time though right?"

"Yes." he moaned as Elizabeth's hand encircled his erection.

"Are you sure because I know how much you love work."

Matt immediately rolled them over and plunged inside her. "Not nearly as much as I love you." Holding still, he lowered his mouth to hers. Their tongues tangled erotically mimicking the movement of their bodies. They parted slowly neither wanting to lose even the faintest connection.

Elizabeth raised her hips urging Matt to move faster. Normally she enjoyed the slow pace he liked to set but today she wanted something more. Their movements became frenzied as desire overwhelmed them. They tumbled over the edge together in an erotic release.

"Despite what you people think this is a hospital," the head nurse said sternly. Matt and Elizabeth immediately pulled apart embarrassed that they had been caught. One kiss had turned into a make out session in the hallway.

"It's good to see you too Epiphany."

"Uh huh. Vacation's over so stop distracting my nurse Dr. Hunter."

"Yes ma'am." he said giving Elizabeth one last kiss. "Lunch?"

"Yeah. I'll invite Patrick and Robin."

Matt groaned at the mention of his brother. He didn't want to spend his lunch with Patrick. "Come on Elizabeth. We just got back."

"And I'd like to spend tonight alone." she whispered with a giggle. Elizabeth knew Robin wouldn't be happy until she knew all the details of their trip. She had plans tonight that didn't include being interrogated.

"Of course you would have to have a point." Matt mumbled mostly to himself. "Fine invite them to lunch."

Lunch was exactly what Matt thought it would be torture at least at first. As expected, Patrick asked questions that were so personal that they boarded on inappropriate. More than once Elizabeth hid her face against his shoulder. The one difference was his reaction.

Normally Matt would have gotten frustrated, angry, or both with Patrick resulting in a fight. While it still bothered him not as badly. He knew Elizabeth would say it was because he had bonded with his brother. However, he didn't care about the reason.

Riding up the elevator Matt couldn't resist pulling Elizabeth into his arms. Seeing the gold chain against Elizabeth's pale skin, he felt guilty. "Maybe we should tell them."

"Are you sure?" she asked softly. Elizabeth didn't mind keeping their secret awhile longer. "Because we can wait."

"Yeah. It's better if they know now."

Patrick couldn't help be eavesdrop on the conversation. "Know what? What are you talking about?"

"Some things happened while we were Arizona." Elizabeth said as they all stepped off the elevator. Maybe the sixth floor of General Hospital wasn't the best place to do this.

"We assumed that much."

"What are you doing October 9th?" Matt asked carefully. He wasn't sure of the reaction their news was going to get.

"That depends on..."

"Oh my... he didn't. Did he?" Robin asked excitably. Both women squealed loudly when Elizabeth nodded.

"Great now my wife has lost her mind." Patrick said watching Robin drag Elizabeth to the nurse's station. Whatever it is would be the talk of General Hospital for days. "Would someone tell me what's going on?"

"I asked Elizabeth to marry me."

"Seriously? Wow congratulations."

"Thanks. She makes me happy."

"I know. Look I have three consults waiting on me but we'll celebrate later."

"Celebrate what?" Noah asked stepping off the elevator and into his sons' conversation. He hadn't seen or spoken to either man since before Emma was born. While gone he had done a lot of thinking. He could only hope they would hear him out.

"Look at the time."

"Traitor." Matt teased as the elevator doors closed. "What are you doing here?"

"In case you forgot I work here."

"I was hoping you forgot." Matt said brushing past Noah and heading for the nurse's deck. Deal with his father wasn't something he had thought about. He certainly didn't want to deal with the older man. Unfortunately, Noah didn't seem to get the message. "I want nothing to do with you. Leave me alone."

"I can't do that. You're my son and I care about you."

"It's too late. I have all the family I want and that doesn't include you."

"Dr. Drake just give Matt some time. He's been deal with a lot the past few months."

"The lawsuit. I heard about that. You seem to know a great deal about Matt."

Elizabeth sighed and tried to focus on the chart in front of her. She didn't want to be in the middle of this. Except she loved Matt and that meant she was right in the middle. "Look I'm only telling you this because the whole hospital will know soon. Matt and I are getting married."

"Wow. Congratulations. How did this happen?"

"That's a question you need to ask Matt."

"I'll try and thanks for telling me." Noah said gratefully. He was happy Matt had found someone to grow close to. Even happier that it was his old friend's daughter. Maybe it wasn't too late to fix things with both his sons.

From around the corner Matt watched Noah with Elizabeth. Part of him wanted her away from his father but he couldn't. No matter how he felt about Noah Elizabeth still had a job to do. Matt doubted Epiphany would understand even if Elizabeth did. All he could do was find a way for them to coexist.

~THE END~
