Life in Palmero was something that Liz had only dreamed about but once she was there with her family, she felt that she was truly home. Her brothers were there for her and Jason was someone that she knew would always be there for her and their sons. Jake was happier than Liz had seen her son in a long time.
The boys were adapting to life in Italy. They were learning Italian along with Liz. Jason already knew enough to get by. Liz had gotten in touch with Billy to see how he and Danny were doing.
"I was just checking on my favorite patient and his adorable son. I hope that you are doing alright. It has been a crazy couple of weeks. The boys say hi and that includes Jason. My father and Jason are the ones that sent the information to your brother and mother. We wanted you to have the closure that you deserve. I just want you to know that we are all doing great here in Palmero and maybe when everything settles down you and Danny can come for a visit."
"I think that would be great. In just a few weeks it will be Christmas. I can't believe how time changes. It just seems like yesterday that I was a patient at GH and you were my nurse. I am sorry that I never really got to apologize for how I acted towards you and Jake. I am ashamed about that especially after how nice you had been to me and how you took me in. I realize now that Jake had tried to tell me the truth about not being his dad. I just thought it was because of the way I was acting towards you and being under Sam's spell."
"Don't take it too hard. We all made mistakes back then because of Helena. The only good thing about that is now everything is out in the open and we are where we need to be. I want only good things to happen for you, Billy. I pray that your child is safe and that as soon as she delivers, you will get your child. You are in my thoughts and prayers. My father has men watching over Sam to make sure that the baby is fine."
She hung up with Billy and then called Nik. She talked to him and found out that he and Hayden were divorced. Spencer is living back in Port Charles and he found a loophole to get everything back from Valentin. He was also made sure that Valentin paid for his crimes and he was sent back to Greece.
The other amazing thing that Nik told Liz was that Lulu had another child. Her name is Charlotte and the father was Valentin. She and Dante have full custody of her daughter. Everything had settled down in Port Charles. He could tell Liz that Hayden was cured from the disease that both her and Finn had. The doctor did find a cure for the disease. It was his life's work.
Liz felt better knowing that both Finn and Hayden were cured of the disease that took Finn's wife away from him. She started to think of Hayden as a sister but she was even happier knowing that Max and Milo were her brothers. She started getting back into sketching again. She also took up photography because photos helped her with her sketches. Her real models like to move too much for her so it was better in the long run that she sketched from the pictures she took.
Jason found a villa for them to restore and move into. It was in the next town so it was far away enough away for privacy but not too far. He knows that Liz finally felt the connection that she had been missing all her life. She just wanted to know why, her parents didn't tell her the truth.
Christmas was in two weeks, so the boys were on the best behavior. Aiden was worried about Santa knowing where to go to drop off his presents. He did know that right now being in Italy was the best thing that happened to his family. His mother was so happy about being there and he now had new grandparents. He loved the attention that his grandparents gave to him and his brothers. His father wasn't really in the picture but his grandma Laura was always there for him. His Aunt Lulu was there for him too. He just found out that he has another cousin named Charlotte. He was happy about that and that Uncle Nik was still alive.
Cameron was happy for everyone but he only had his mother's side of the family because his father and his family were gone. Jason and Lucky helped raise him but it was mainly on his mom to see to his needs. He now had another new family and he fit right in there with the Giambettis.
Jake had both of his parents back and he was very happy. He felt bad because his brothers didn't have what he had. There were a few years that he had lost thanks to Helena and Sam. Everyone had a reason to be happy but at the same time, a sadness too because they were far away from where they lived.
Christmas was a time for joy and happiness. Everyone got together and Jason proposed to Elizabeth. She said yes. The two of them were finally on the same page and no threats hanging over their heads. It was the best feeling in the world to be with the ones you love.
The news of their engagement didn't shock anyone but it made Sam all the madder that Elizabeth had the life that she felt she deserved. She got a hold of her father and made him promise to get revenge for her. Julian was smart enough to know that he could never go up against the Giambettis and the five families. He knew what was going to happen to his daughter, once the baby was born. He had no illusions and she didn't either but she was angry that Julian wouldn't even try to help her.
Alexis saw her daughter every day. Every day it got closer to when she gave birth. Sam felt like a caged animal. She did talk to Julian about escaping after giving birth. She would just disappear and live her life on her terms.
Billy was able to get his life back together in Genoa City. Danny was adapting to life in Genoa City but couldn't wait to see his mother and baby brother. The closer they got to the due date, the more Billy wanted to be in Port Charles.
Jill decided that she wanted to go with the two of them. She called the Metro Court and got a suite for her, Billy and Danny. The three of them flew into Port Charles. Billy rented a car for the next few weeks. He was not sure when his son was going to be born but it was going to be soon.
Jason and Elizabeth had talked to Billy and Danny a few times since the move to Palmero. Danny was adjusting very well which made Jason feel a lot better. Billy talked to Elizabeth and she wished him the best.
"There has been something that I have been meaning to tell you. Lizzie. I know that you will probably tell me to forget about it but I can't. I realized that you were the best thing that had ever happened to me. You took me in and believed in me way before I believed in myself. You were the one that showed me that not everyone is after something. I was a bit hurt that you had lied to me, about who you thought I was. It is nothing compared to what you went through when you saw Jason and brought him back here. I am sorry about Sam and what she has done to your family."
"Billy, it is okay. I understand why you did what you did. I just found out that I am someone else's daughter. I always felt like I didn't fit in and always wanted to go to Italy. Now I know why I wanted to go there so much. I feel like I am finally home. Jason and I are renovating a villa in the next town from my parents. Can you believe that Milo is my twin brother?"
"I find it kind of amusing that Max is your big brother. Milo is a great guy and I know that he will always have your back. Max is also the big brother that you need and will have your back."
Billy and Danny were staying at the Metro Court until the baby was born. Jill had the room next to them and they already had the baby's nursery ready in Genoa City. Billy had been able to divorce Sam quietly while she was in jail. The courts gave custody of both minor children to Billy.
The morning of the birth, Billy had gone to visit Sam. He brought Danny and the commissioner gave them time to visit her. Danny hugged his mother but she looked so different. She seemed sad and tired. "I missed you, Mommy. I live far away now. Daddy and I live in Genoa City. It is in Wisconsin. Daddy has even taken me to a Packers game. I have a grandma named Jill and I have new cousins. Jason helped daddy find out who he really was and that is how we got to find Grandma Jill. I know that you didn't mean to do the things that everyone said you did. I know that you love us and that you were hurting because of daddy not being Jason. I love you mommy and I will tell my new brother how much you loved him too."
Sam wanted to get out as soon as possible. She needed to get out so she could get back what was stolen from her. She knew that if she was caught, she was dead but she also knew that she was a dead woman walking anyway. She just needed wanted to make sure that Elizabeth didn't get her happy ending.
The birth was an easy one. She was having a C-section and in a few minutes, it would be all over. Her chance of getting out was slim to known because of stitches and the pain. She knew that she had to brave the pain and run. She just hoped her father came through for her.
Her son was taken away from her and she started to cry. She knew that her time was just about over but she just had to try. When no one was looking, they were taking care of the baby, Sam got up and dressed. She then took off running. She got out of the building and there was a car waiting for her. She just didn't realize that it was not from her father.
The car brought her to a safe house. Maximus was there waiting with a few of his men. "I would like to introduce myself. I am Maximus Giambetti. I am the father of Elizabeth Quartermaine or she will be soon. You have made many mistakes but trying to kill my family is one that you will never make again. I know that you just had your son. I know that William will take great care of his son but you will never know. I will be the last face that you will see before you die. I want you to know to see me because I will be smiling while you are dying a very slow and painful death."
The men then gave Sam an injection. It was a very powerful venom and the pain from it was harsh. It took a while for the venom to reach her heart. She then died. The men then disposed of her body.
Maximus then went back home. Billy took his sons back home to Genoa City. The hospital was at a loss as to where Sam went too. The police saw a car parked outside of the hospital and Sam run to it. They figured that Julian sent a car to pick up Sam. They put an APB out on her. They felt that it was either Julian helping her or someone was taking care of her. Either way, they would never find her.
Alexis was upset when she found out that Sam had escaped but she prayed that she got away and that she was not murdered. She had a feeling it was the later but until they found her body, she would never know.
Billy, Jill, Danny and baby boy Abbott made their way back to Wisconsin. Billy didn't know what he wanted to name his son but he wanted to somehow honor the one person who believed in him even before he did. He felt the connection to Elizabeth and she was the one that took him in and believed in him. He felt bad about the way he reacted when she thought he was Jason and lied about it.
He decided to call her when he got home. "Hello, Bella. I know that you must find it hard to believe but I am a dad again. I am not sure what I want to name him but I would like to honor you and Jason somehow. You both have done so much for me. I don't know how to thank you for everything."
"Billy, you don't have to thank us. You have been a victim of this as much as anyone else. You have a lot family and friends that you love. We are among those who love and care about you and your sons. Any name that you choose will be the right one. I am sorry what Sam has done to you and your family. She has taken four years out of your life. They are years that you can't get back. I am just thankful that Jason, Jake and my father could figure out who you were. Jake feels bad because he tried to explain to you that you were not his dad but he couldn't get through to you. He was also scared of Sam and Helena so he never really pushed it."
"I was thinking of naming him after Jake if you don't mind and your family. I was going to call him Jacob Morgan Abbott. If you don't want me too, I will understand."
"Well, I have Jake right here and I think he has something to say to you."
"Hi Billy! I think that it is cool that you want a Jake too. I would be honored if you named your son after me. There can never be too many Jakes around."
Billy started laughing and realized that Jake was right. "Thank you all for helping me decide what I knew already and you are right. There can never be too many Jakes."
Billy hung up the phone and knew that his son was going to be another Jake.
Five years later…..
Liz and Jason were married in a beautiful ceremony at her parent's villa. Their villa was just about ready to move in they returned from their honeymoon. The boys were flourishing in Palmero. They spoke both Italian and English at home and school. Elizabeth homeschooled them and she learned Italian while they did.
Elizabeth and Jason had a daughter, Bella a few years after they got married. There were four children that filled up the villa. Cameron stayed in contact with both Emma and Cameron. Aiden saw Lucky more now because Lucky had moved to Italy too. He wanted to re-establish his connection to his son. Lucky realized how truly lucky he was to have Aiden. He loved him and he got along with Jason and Elizabeth.
Cameron had found out about his father, Zander and knew that he was lucky to have Jason as his father now. He was a teenager and so was Jake. The two of them were a force to be reckon with and a great team. Billy had brought Danny and Jake to Italy to see everyone. He fell in love with Victoria Newman. They were getting married and were going to have a little girl too.
Sam's body was found a few months after she died. Alexis could bury her daughter and she knew that she had been killed because of what she did to Jason and his family. Alexis knew why she died but it didn't make it any easier on her. Billy was in contact with Alexis every week. She would get to talk to her grandsons and she even went to Genoa City to visit them. Danny had gone to spend a couple weeks in the summer with Alexis and his aunts.
Billy went to visit Elizabeth and her family a couple of times in the past five years. He brought his whole family there just a year before with Vicky and their children. The great thing about what happened was that all the scars that everyone carried were lessening every day. It was not something that you can get over in a day or year. Sometimes it takes years to get over the mess that Helena and Sam created.
