A/N: Hey, guys! Wow, thank you so much for all the awesome feedback. It really helps me so much, and totally keeps me inspired. I'm glad you guys are liking it. So, this is the Thanksgiving chapter. I thought about putting another chapter before this one, but I thought it would be cool if I just went ahead with this one since Thanksgiving is actually this week. This chapter is really just a lot of fluff. All the drama is going to start in the next one. Hope you enjoy!

Thanksgiving had arrived and Elizabeth found herself torn on how to approach the holiday. She was excited about being able to spend it with Jason and the boys. But a part of her dreaded it as well. Because she knew that after it was over, Jason would reveal himself to the rest of the town. His memories would probably come back. She would lose him all over again. And knowing that just made her all the more determined to make this Thanksgiving the best one ever.

After shopping for the last of the groceries that she would need, she walked in the front door to see Cameron and Jason playing video games. Aiden, not old enough to know how to play video games, was sitting between them cheering. Elizabeth smiled, and cleared her throat to make them aware of her presence.

They all turned around in response. "Hey", Jason said softly. "We didn't hear you come in."

"Uh-huh. You were too absorbed in Madden", she said playfully, setting the bags down on the table as they all approached her.

"I beat Jason twice", Cameron said proudly. He was loving that he had someone to play video games with now. He had tried to teach Aiden how to play a few times, but his younger brother was never any competition. In fact, he usually just pushed random buttons. And his mom...well, she just didn't like them.

Elizabeth smiled, knowing Jason probably let Cam win. "To think I missed your epic games", she sighed. "You guys will have to play again where I can watch."

"Okay!", Cameron agreed excitedly.

"Ooohh. Pie!", Aiden said happily as he looked in one of the bags.

"Oh no, mister", Elizabeth said quickly, picking the bag up out of the child's reach. "We don't get pie until tonight. We will not have a repeat of last year."

"What happened last year?", Jason asked curiously.

"These two decided to have a pie fight in the kitchen", she informed him, looking at the boys with a stern look. "They had it everywhere."

The boys looked down at the floor, unable to hide their smiles. Jason couldn't help but smile too. And eventually, Elizabeth gave in and smiled as well. It wasn't amusing at the time, but it was a nice memory when she looked back. She wanted to have more nice memories, and she hoped more would be made this year.

"Jason Morgan, the five-star chef", Elizabeth remarked in a playful manner as she watched Jason check the oven for the fifteenth time in about as many minutes.

"Well, this stuff isn't easy", he replied, wiping his hands on a paper towel. "How do you do this every year?"

"I'm a mom", she shrugged with a smile. "I have to be able to do this stuff. And I mess up at least one thing a year. The boys just don't notice."

He gave her a slight smile. "You're pretty incredible. You know that?"

She felt herself blush a bit at the compliment. "Not really. I don't see how I'm that much different from any other woman."

"You definitely are", Jason said softly. And that was most definitely the truth. Her beauty was striking, even now. Her hair was swept up in a messy bun, and she had spilt flour on herself half an hour ago. But she still looked amazing in his eyes.

Elizabeth smiled before the faint noise from the radio attracted her attention. "Oh, I love this song." She turned it up a bit.

"Country, huh?", Jason commented.

"Yeah, I know. I've just always liked this song."

He watched her hum thoughtlessly to the soft melody as she pulled a gallon of milk out of the refrigerator. God, he loved everything about this woman. Now, he could add the way she moves to an old country song to that already long list.

He held out his hand to her. "Dance with me."

She turned away from the mixing bowl, a bit of surprise in her eyes. "You want to dance?", she asked with a hint of disbelief in her voice.

Jason nodded. "I want to dance."

Elizabeth slowly placed her hand in his, and he led her to the open part of the kitchen. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and they began to sway to the music.

All day long I can hear people talking out loud

But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd

Old Mr. Webster could never define

What's being said between your heart and mine

Elizabeth closed her eyes, feeling Jason's heart beating so close to her own. She couldn't deny how it made her feel. Happy. Alive. God, why did he have to make her feel this way? She was only going to get hurt in the end. And yet, she could never seem to protect her heart where he was concerned.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me

There's a truth in your eyes saying you'd never leave me

The touch of your hand says you'll catch me whenever I fall

Yeah, you say it best

When you say nothing at all

He held her tightly in his arms as the song played. Having her in his arms...it felt so right. It felt too right to possibly be wrong. He didn't want to be away from her ever again. He didn't care that he supposedly had a whole different life with someone else. This was the woman that he wanted to be with. Elizabeth.

"Oooohhhh!", two mingling voices interrupted, completely shattering both of their thoughts. Elizabeth and Jason hurriedly let go of each other as Cameron and Aiden grinned at the two of them.

"Mom and Jason sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G", Cam sung playfully.

Elizabeth could feel her cheeks heating up. Jason, on the other hand, seemed to be rather amused. Even smiling a bit. And when he smiled, she couldn't help but smile too.

"Okay, who's ready for dinner?", Elizabeth called. Before she could even turn around, they were all seated at the dining room table. She chuckled to herself.

Most of the food was already resting on plates or in bowls that were on the surface of the table. Turkey, stuffing, pumpkin pie...it looked delicious if she did say so herself. And judging by how much everyone ate, she would say it tasted pretty good too. She gave a smile of satisfaction.

Everyone was working on dessert when Cameron spoke up. "Hey, we haven't done the game yet."

"What game?", Jason wondered, taking another bite of pumpkin pie.

"It's kind of a Thanksgiving tradition. We go around the table and each say something that we're thankful for", Elizabeth explained.

"Can I go first, mommy?", Aiden asked hopefully.

"Sure. Go ahead, baby", she replied before lifting her glass of water to her lips.

The little boy thought about it for a minute, before finally coming up with something. "I'm thankful that we have Jason now cause he makes mommy smile a lot. And I like it when mommy smiles."

Elizabeth would have been embarrassed by that response if it hadn't been so darn true. Having Jason here had been challenging. It had brought up a lot of things that she didn't care to remember. But it had also made her happy. Because God help her. She still loved him. Maybe even her kids could see that. She glanced at him across the table, and was slightly surprised to see his eyes shining with tears that he would relentlessly fight back.

"Uh...Cam. Your turn", she said, knowing that the topic needed to be changed soon.

"I'm thankful for Jason because he plays games with me and I can talk to him about stuff that mom doesn't understand."

She sighed to herself. It really was going to hurt the boys when Jason left. He had spent a lot of time with them in the past few days, and he was so great with them. But they were obviously growing a lot more attached to him than she realized. She dated Ewen and A.J., and the boys didn't get this attached to them. And now Jason was going to feel guilty leaving.

"Mom?", Cameron prompted, interrupting her thoughts. "It's your turn."

She smiled a bit. "Right. Well, I'm thankful for my beautiful babies, and...I'm thankful that I have a really great friend back in my life."

Jason knew he was next. And he had never been one to vocalize his feelings. Not in the least. He was very surprised to see the impact his being here had made on all of them. He thought he was the one that was lucky to get to be there, where he really wanted to be. He loved being with Elizabeth and the kids. They made him smile. Something he didn't think was possible just a few days ago.

True to his nature, Jason decided to keep his turn short and sweet.

"I'm thankful to be back home."

So, I really just wanted a chapter that wasn't depressing before more heavy stuff hits. I feel like holidays should be happy :)

Anyway, let me know what you think! And Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
