Author's Note: What can I say? I have had so much going on lately, and I am so sorry that I have not updated this fic. I feel horrible, because you guys have always been kind in your reviews, and I know that you were hoping I would update this a whole lot sooner. I had a block, truthfully, as far as the direction goes, because with the way things are unscreen, I'm still holding out hope for Liz and Jason. Anyway, if there are any of you amazing Liason reviewers/readers out there, please read...it's a good one!


Jason went to bed that night, contemplating a number of things. He knew eventually he'd have to tell Carly, or she'd yell and scream at him because he didn't. Then she'd whine and say that Elizabeth wasn't right for him. But Jason felt otherwise. Reluctantly, he had returned back to his penthouse for the night. He saw the way Cameron talked with Elizabeth, and it reminded him of the child he almost had with Sam. Though neither were his, Jason always had a soft spot in his heart for children. Micheal was like a son to him, though due to the ongoing drama between Sonny and Carly he never saw him that much anymore.


Elizabeth opened the door, staring in on a sleeping Cameron. He was tucked safely in his racecar bed, cuddling a stuffed Chuggin' Charlie. She smiled at his expression-completely peaceful. It was funny, because she was beginning to feel the same way.

Returning to her room, Elizabeth slipped into a pair of sweatpants and a T-shirt. Pulling back the covers, she spotted her cellphone on the bed. Picking it up, she realized that she had a missed call. Frowning, she clicked 'Voice Mail', and discovered that Lucky had called her. He wanted to see Cameron, and that his progress was slowly developing in Rehab.

Setting the phone down on the nightstand, Elizabeth peacefully slid into bed. If she went to visit Lucky, it would be because of Cameron. The problem was that with every day that passed, Lucky was becoming a memory for Cameron. Sure, he would ask about Lucky now and then, but with Jason around, Cameron seemed more at ease. Turning onto her side, Elizabeth fell asleep, contemplating the problem.


"Mommy!"Cameron said, running into the room.

"Hey, sweetie..."Elizabeth mumbled, waking up. "What's going on?"

"I'm hungry."

"You are?"Elizabeth asked as Cameron curled up next to her. "And what would you like to eat? You know we have to leave soon."

Cameron bit his lip, wrapping his arms around her. "Pancakes! No...Frosted Flakes. No-"

"How about you go get some clothes on and decide, hm? I'll be downstairs."

"Okay, Mommy. Hey, am I gonna go visit Gram today?"He asked, jumping off of the bed.

"You are. And-"Elizabeth said as they walked out of the room. "I think she might have a present for you."

Cameron stopped, turning to face her. "A present?"

Elizabeth nodded, laughing.

"Cool!"

"It sure is. Now go find some clothes to put on...I'll be right downstairs if you need me."


Elizabeth was in the kitchen, setting up the coffee maker when she heard a knock at the door. Sighing, she trudged to open it. "It is too early to be having people over..."

"I can come back later."Jason said, hoping he wasn't interrupting. "I just thought that since you guys were up..."

"That you would accidentally stop by?"

"Well, that wasn't exactly what I was thinking, but after the way things ended last night...I was hoping-"

"Right."Elizabeth nodded, opening the door wider for him to step in. As she did, Cameron came down the stairs, sporting a red T-shirt and blue jeans. He seemed proud, because he walked up to Elizabeth, a look in his eyes almost demanding approval. "So I was thinking...Mommy has to get to work in just a little bit. Do you want to have cereal today instead of pancakes? We can have those on the weekend."

Cameron agreed, and watched as Elizabeth made his bowl of cereal.

She walked back over, staring at Jason as he studied the pictures that Elizabethe displayed on the mantle. "I got a call last night."

Jason nodded, the statement at first not affecting him.

"It was Lucky. He wants...he actually wants me to bring Cam to visit him."

"Are you going to?"Jason asked, a hint of jealousy evident in his voice.

"I don't know. He's fine without him."

"True. But if you want to..."

Elizabeth shrugged, sighing. "So Gram is watching Cam today. After I get off, I've set it up to have Cam stay with Alexis, Kristina and Molly for an hour or two. They wanted to see him."

"Okay."

"You could be a little more enthusiastic."

"It's just...Jake's wasn't entirely my idea of a date."

"So it's a date now?"

Jason smiled, shrugging. "I guess."

"Fine. Then we can go someplace else. As long as we can avoid MetroCourt. I don't want to field the added stress of having Carly around."

Jason nodded. "So I'll pick you up at Seven?"

Elizabeth nodded, smiling. "Seven."


It's Jason. Elizabeth had to keep reminding herself that. She had known him for years, and a date couldn't be that different. They had dated once, and so much else had happened between them that it couldn't be that bad. She took one last look in the mirror before heading back downstairs, and just as she did, she heard the knock. "Hi."

"...Hey."Jason replied, a little taken back by the sight of her.

"I didn't know how to dress for tonight, so I thought that maybe this would be fitting."

Jason nodded, studied the black number she had on. He blushed inwardly, blanking out the thoughts he was thinking. "So...can we go?"
