After a long sleepless night, Georgie was up early on Saturday morning and Daniel Carter escorted her to Elizabeth's hotel.

Elizabeth heard the knock on her door and when she opened it she was surprised to see Georgie standing there, "What are you doing here? Did Will ask you to come? Does he know that you're here?"

Georgie grinned at the rush of questions and answered, "I needed to talk to you, no and no." Georgie's eyes clouded over; "Will wouldn't be happy if he knew that I came here."

"Well I'm glad you came." Elizabeth said as she hugged Georgie and ushered her into the suite. They sat down on the sofa and Elizabeth asked softly, "How is Will?"

"He's not doing well." Georgie looked into Elizabeth's eyes and saw that they were red and puffy as if she had been crying, "You know that he can't stand being away from you."

Georgie watched as a tear slid down Elizabeth's cheek but she just shook her head, "You can't possibly understand."

"Elizabeth, I do," Georgie was embarrassed as she said, "Because Will told Richard and I everything last night."

"Everything." Elizabeth croaked with disbelief.

Georgie smiled, "Everything PG at least." The smile faded from her lips, "Will said that this was all his fault and that you aren't to blame for anything." Georgie glanced toward the door, "Richard was so angry after Will told us about the baby that he wouldn't even speak to him."

Shock flitted across Elizabeth's face before the pain returned, "I don't want to come between Will and his family." She lifted her eyes, "I'll talk to Richard."

Georgie took a deep breath and said what she had come to say, "Elizabeth, I don't want to get in the middle of what's happening between you and Will but I just want to say one thing." Elizabeth watched as Georgie sat up straight and said, "I know that Will loves you more than anything else in this world and I know you feel the same."

"Georgie," Elizabeth said kindly as she took her hand, "what is going on between Will and I has nothing to do with you."

"I know," Georgie said quietly, "and I won't say anything else." She looked down at her hand, "Elizabeth, I want to live with you."

"What." Elizabeth sputtered with incredulity.

"Whatever happens with you and Will, I don't want to lose you." Georgie cried with tears streaming down her face, "I need you in my life."

Elizabeth leaned in and hugged Georgie to her, "You won't ever lose me because no matter what you'll always be my sister." Elizabeth took a deep breath, "But I'm sorry, you can't live with me because it would kill your brother."

Georgie began to sob uncontrollably as she gulped, "Please… Elizabeth."

The tears were shining in Elizabeth's eyes as she shook her head, "Will needs you more than ever." Elizabeth squeezed her eyes shut tightly, "Could you imagine what it would be like for Will if both of us left him."

Georgie pulled back and wiped the tears from her eyes, "I didn't think about that but you're right." Her voice cracked with the weight of her emotion, "But I'm going to miss you."

"We'll see each other every day in school." Elizabeth said quietly, "We can study together and even go shopping or anything else we want to do. We'll see each other so much that you'll be sick of me."

Georgie smiled as she stood, "Yeah, but I'd better get back before Will realizes I'm gone."

As the two made their way to the door, they heard shouting from the hall.

Will stood toe to toe with his cousin, "Let me through, Richard."

"No." Richard stood his ground, "She doesn't want to see you."

"She's my wife." Will growled impatiently as he moved to go by Richard, "My sister is also in there so I have every right to pass."

"Stay back or I will take you down."

The door behind the two men opened and Elizabeth stood there and glared at each with anger as she said with determination, "You two will not fight because of me so let him inside Richard."

Richard stepped aside at her words and Will shot him a triumphant look as he entered the room.

Elizabeth smiled wanly at Richard as she touched his shoulder softly, "It will be okay."

As she closed the door, she turned to Georgie, "Can you give us a few minutes."

When Georgie had disappeared into the bedroom, Elizabeth turned on Will with a snarl, "Don't think that this changes anything because it doesn't."

Will's head reeled back as though she had hit him and he sank to his knees, "Elizabeth, please give me another chance, I'm begging you."

"Get up." Elizabeth looked disgusted as she threw him a withering glare, "I really don't want to hear anything you have to say."

Will got to his feet and held his hands out in front of him as he approached, "Elizabeth, you have to know that I would never intentionally hurt you or your family." He reached for her hand but she drew back, "I had already transferred the money for your father's debt before I got home yesterday, I never meant to hurt any of you."

"So this was all just a bluff to get what you wanted." Elizabeth said bitterly, "Well, I hope it was worth it because now you have nothing."

Will's heart shattered into a million pieces at her words but her reached for her in blind panic, "Elizabeth, you can't do this because if the board were to find out that you've left me they would press charges against your father." His eyes begged, "They would have him thrown in jail and there'll be nothing I can do about that."

Elizabeth sighed with resignation as her chin quivered, "You're right." Elizabeth closed her eyes, "Once again, I have no other choice."

"Elizabeth darling," Will's eyes lit up at her words as he pulled her into his arms, "You won't be sorry, I promise I will never hurt you again." He bent his head to kiss her.

With a cry, Elizabeth grabbed his arm and with the help of her self-defense training, she hurled him to the ground and held her elbow against his throat as she roared in outrage, "Let us get this clear, you will never touch me again."

Georgie heard the commotion, came to investigate and with shock took in the scene before her as Elizabeth asked in a kind voice, "Can you give us a few more minutes," She glared at Will, "We have a few more things to talk about."

Georgie backed out of the room as Will let out a groan, "Can't breathe… let me up."

Elizabeth released him with a look of disgust and as he got to his feet she said, "I will move back into the house but I want my own bedroom in the guest wing of the house as far away from you as I can get."

Will opened his mouth to protest but Elizabeth silenced him with her anger, "This is non-negotiable." She turned her back on him, "I may have to stay married to you and live in your house for the next four years but I will be your wife in name only." When she swung around, there was a determination in her eyes that he had never seen before, "I will keep up appearances in public but in private, I will do everything in my power to stay as far away from you as possible."

"Elizabeth, I will do anything you say as long as you come back to me." Will's voice was soothing, "I love you and I just want you to be happy."

"We've got a deal then." Elizabeth said harshly, "Let me get my things together." She headed to the bedroom to pack.

Will contemplated his wife as she left the room. He had felt a knot in his stomach as he had agreed to her terms and knew that he wouldn't be able to stay away from her. He would do everything in his power to regain her trust and her love. He knew that she loved their physical relationship as much as he did and prayed that he would find a way back into her heart and her bed.

Will paced the room until Elizabeth and Georgie emerged from the bedroom with Elizabeth's suitcase. He inhaled deeply with relief and was grateful that she hadn't changed her mind.

Will took the suitcase from her hand, "So I guess we're ready to go home." Will said with a smile as he gestured toward the door.

As Georgie opened the front door and Richard saw Will carrying Elizabeth's suitcase, his brow furrowed as he said to Elizabeth, "You're going home with him. I can't believe that you have forgiven him."

"I didn't." Elizabeth said as she stepped into the elevator and missed the curious looks that Georgie and Richard gave Will.

The others followed her in to the elevator before they descended to the parking garage.

Once they had arrived, Richard turned Elizabeth toward her car as he asked, "What is going on with you two?"

Elizabeth smiled at him but was firm, "Richard, this is none of your business. This is between Will and I."

"Okay," Richard sounded a little disgruntled, "I'll take the hint and stay out your business."

The drive home didn't take very long and as they walked into the house, Will was already there and Richard excused himself as he decided to patrol the perimeter.

"Elizabeth, please come back to our bedroom." Will said quietly while he held her suitcase in his hand, "I love you, please don't do this to us."

"Will, I'm not the one who did this us." Elizabeth said as she tried to take her suitcase from him.

"Fine, we'll do this your way." He exhaled as he pulled it out of her hands and headed towards the staircase leading toward the guest rooms.

He opened a door and walked inside as he set her suitcase down, "This room has everything you're going to need but if there's anything else don't hesitate to ask." Will's voice was formal but as he caught her eyes she saw the sadness in the depths. He turned and left the room.

Elizabeth unpacked quickly before the intense emotions of the last twenty-four hours hit her and she collapsed onto the bed and cried until she fell asleep.

Will stopped to check on Georgie before he went back to his bedroom. He felt his heart constrict with the pain of the thought. His bedroom, no it was their bedroom; it was always going to be their bedroom. This wasn't the way it was supposed to be. Suddenly Will couldn't face the desolate empty room that Elizabeth didn't occupy and he ran to the gym where he tried to work off the anguish that he felt from his heart to the pit of his stomach.

When Elizabeth woke up, she got her books and decided to get some studying done today. After she had finished her homework, she called Jane.

"How would you like to go shopping tomorrow?" Elizabeth asked hoping to find an activity that would get her out of the house.

"Sounds great." Jane agreed, "If it's okay, I'll invite the girls."

"Sure, that's a good idea." Elizabeth said, "I'll ask if Georgie wants to go."

When Will finished his workout, he went to the bedroom and took a shower. He went downstairs to get some dinner and found that Elizabeth must have left his dinner in the warming oven for him.

It gave him hope as he realized that Elizabeth was thinking about him but then Elizabeth always thought of everyone else before herself.

After he ate he went upstairs and knocked on Georgie's door and found her reading in her room.

"Georgie did you hear what Elizabeth and I talked about at the hotel?" Will asked his sister.

Georgie nodded her head in the affirmative as tears glistened in her eyes, "Doesn't Elizabeth love you anymore?"

Will sighed, "I hope so but I'm going to have to work hard to regain her trust."

"So from now on you two are going to be in separate parts of the house." Georgie gulped back her tears, "How will things ever be right again?"

Will pulled his sister into a hug and let her cry against his shoulder, "I don't know."

After Georgie cried out the pent up emotion, she pulled herself back and said, "Will, I need to tell you something."

"You can tell me anything."

"I asked Elizabeth if I could live with her before she decided to move back in." Will narrowed his eyes and pulled his brows together, "She refused to allow it and reminded me of how badly it would hurt you if we both left you."

Will's chest shook with the depth of his emotion, "She's right, it would have killed me."

"I didn't mean to hurt you, Will." Georgie cried as she threw her arms around his neck, "But I couldn't face losing Elizabeth."

"I can't either," Will admitted, "and I don't know what I'm going to do about that."

"You'll figure it out." Georgie said with a smile, "I have faith in you and Elizabeth."

"Thank you."

"Will," Georgie remembered, "There's one more thing. Elizabeth invited me to go shopping tomorrow with her and her sisters."

Will released the breath that he had been holding, "That sounds like fun."

He quickly walked down the hall and opened the door to the bedroom and saw Elizabeth searching through the dresser.

She turned around as she heard him enter, "I needed to get a few things but I'll be done in a minute."

Will couldn't help the grin that appeared on his face, "Take your time." He sat down on the end of the bed, "This is your room too."

"Not anymore." Elizabeth said in an emotionless tone.

Will came up behind her and slid his arms around her waist, "Everything I have belongs to you, my love." He breathed into her ear as his lips found a sensitive area and he felt her shiver.

Elizabeth slipped out his embrace, "Will don't do this."

"I love you so much, I can't help myself." His voice was low and husky as he picked up her hand and stroked the back lightly.

Elizabeth pulled her hand away from him with a jerk and she glared at him before she walked out the door.

Will sighed as he watched her leave; he walked into the shower and turned on the cold water. This was not going to be easy but he remembered how lonely he had been before Elizabeth and he couldn't face that life again.

A/N: I have to admit that this isn't the chapter that I set out to write but the moment moved me and this chapter changes something that I have planned on for six months. I had an epiphany while writing this chapter and I think that this direction is going to be much better than my original one. A lot more angst and drama. I hope you enjoy it and I want to thank all of my wonderful readers for the support that you have shown this story as well as my others.
