So this is it the last chapter. I want to thank everyone at LS for their support. I hope you liked how I wrapped things up. And of course I ended things with a little smut.

Epilogue
(three months later)
Elizabeth listened over the monitor as Ric sang their son to sleep. It had become part of Sean's bedtime ritual. Elizabeth would tell Sean a story and then Ric would sing to him. Tonight it was taking longer then usual for the infant to fall asleep. She could not blame her son for being cranky shots were never any fun. The rest of his check up however had been uneventful. Sean had grown quickly and you could no longer tell he was born prematurely.
While the last few months had not been easy, she wouldn't change anything. Ric was an amazing husband but he was an even better father. He took such good care of the both of them that it made the chaos going on around them disappear.
Elizabeth smiled as Ric entered the bedroom. "Did he finally fall asleep?"
"Yeah. The Tylenol must have kicked in." Ric said pulling off his shirt as he joined Elizabeth on the bed. "I hate seeing him in so much pain."
"Me too but it's only for a short time."
"I know. I still hate it." Ric said pouting slightly. Elizabeth laughed at her husband's behavior. It was good to see him relaxing again. Ric had been edge since the trails began. Thankfully all that was over now. Emily had been sentenced to five years for helping kidnap Elizabeth. Jason had been sentenced to life but would never serve any time. He had tried to escape during his transfer to Pentonville. Two guards had been injured but in the end, Jason Morgan was dead. The Quartermaines has been devastated. So had Nikolas. At first the Cassadine heir wanted revenge against Ric and Elizabeth. However Lucky managed to make his brother see the truth. After learning of Jason's death Sonny headed into a downward spiral. He finally hit bottom several days ago. A guard found him passed out and nearly dead. After that, he had been moved to a psychiatric facility. "What's going on in that pretty head of yours?"
"I was thinking about Sonny. I just don't understand why he attempt suicide."
"Sonny was addicted to power. With Jason dead he knew that power wouldn't last."
"I feel sorry for Michael, Morgan hell even Carly and Courtney."
"I can't feel bad for Carly and Courtney they knew what they were getting into. Michael and Morgan on the other hand are innocent." Ric said quietly.
Elizabeth leaned over and kissed her husband. She knew he felt some guilt at what happened. "You are such a good man. I love you."
"I love you too." Ric said turning off the lamp leaving the room in near darkness. Elizabeth immediately laid her head on Ric's chest as he wrapped his strong arms around her.
"Ric?"
"Yes Sweetheart?"
"I want you." Elizabeth said kissing Ric's firm chest. Ric groaned and pulled Elizabeth closer. It had been months since they made love and it didn't take much to turn each other on. Then again it never really did.
"Elizabeth." Ric moaned as she traveled down his body. He gripped her hair gently as she teased his flat nipples. When Elizabeth reached just above his waistband Ric pulled her back up to him. He captured her mouth with hungry urgency. Ric roughly pushed his tongue into Elizabeth's mouth. When the couple finally ran out of air Ric pulled back. "Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you."
"I'm fine and you could never hurt me." Elizabeth said kissing Ric softly. One hand ran down his chest and into his cotton pants. She stroked Ric's growing arousal as the continued to kiss.
Ric moaned and slipped his hand under Elizabeth's silky gown. He immediately realized that his wife wasn't wearing any panties. Ric caressed her soft flesh not surprised to Elizabeth already wet. "Elizabeth stop I can't take anymore teasing. I need you now." Ric panted pulling back.
"You have me." Elizabeth said softly.
That was all the encouragement Ric needed. He quickly tore of both their off cloths leaving them naked. He pushed Elizabeth gently onto the bed. Ric starred at the changes being pregnant had brought to Elizabeth's body. Including the scar on her abdomen. When Elizabeth tried to cover it up Ric pushed her hands away. "You don't ever have to hide from me."
"I know. I'm just self conscience about it."
"You are so beautiful." Ric whispered before brushing his lips against Elizabeth's. He carefully continued to kiss his way down Elizabeth's body. Every so often, he would nip Elizabeth's soft skin and then soothe the pain with his tongue. Ric captured one nipple in his mouth tugging gently on the dusty peaks. After a few moments, Ric switched to its twin. He then traveled down Elizabeth's abdomen. When Ric reached her scar, he placed soft kisses along it. Even though Elizabeth did not like the imperfection Ric thought, it only made her more beautiful. To him it was a reminder of Elizabeth's strength and love.
"Ric please." She pleaded pulling slightly on his hair.
Ric nudge her legs open with his knee as he lay on top of her. He kissed her softly over and over until their desire built to the point of combustion. "Elizabeth, sweetheart I don't have a..."
"Shh. It is fine. I went back on the pill after Sean was born." Elizabeth told him blushing a pretty red.
As Ric slowly entered her wet sheath, he held his breath. The feeling of being connected intimately with Elizabeth was like coming home. Once completely inside Elizabeth Ric held still. He didn't want it to be over too quickly.
Elizabeth bit her lip as Ric began to move. She had missed making love with Ric. Being with him was something she never experienced before. Elizabeth had always held apart of herself back. With Ric, however she could not help but surrender completely to him.
They moved slowly to an unheard rhythm. Their thrusts grew with their passion. Both were sweating and gasping for air when Ric reached for her bud. Elizabeth cried out and arched her hips wildly. Ric held her tightly and pushed into her roughly twice more. He groaned in blissful agony before collapsing. Ric carefully rolled over taking Elizabeth with him. The house was thankfully still silent as the couple drifted off to sleep. It didn't matter what was going on around them. Elizabeth and Ric both knew they had the only thing that truly mattered, Love.
