Chapter Thirty-Three
Elizabeth arrived at Harborview Towers and walked into Jason's penthouse. Going upstairs to his bedroom, she walks into the bathroom and opens the medicine cabinet. Grabbing all of the bottles she sees, she heads back into his bedroom, glancing around to see if there is anything else that the scopolamine could have been added to. Seeing nothing, she heads to "Brenda's" bathroom. Not finding anything in there, she decides to check out the downstairs bathroom and the kitchen. In the kitchen she finds a couple of things from the GNC Store and decides to take those in, as well.
Driving back to GH, the brunette calls Emily, "Hey, it's me."
"Elizabeth!" Em exclaims. "How's Jason?"
"Patrick did an MRI and a full battery of tests. They are still waiting on some of the tests to come back before they make a final ruling that he just has a severe concussion. He'll be on bed rest for a few days, he's gonna love that," she states, sarcastically.
Chuckling with relief, "You are right about that. Just keep me posted if anything else pops up, okay? When do you want me to come and get my nephew?"
"I had to run back to the penthouse and pack a bag for him, so I'm on my way back to the hospital now. I should be there in about 15 minutes or so. So, any time after that is good."
"Okay, well Spencer just went down for his afternoon nap, so if I leave now, I can get there in about 45 minutes."
"Great! We'll see ya then."
Parking the car at the hospital, Elizabeth brings both Cam's overnight bag and the bag of items from Jason's penthouse to be tested. Worried about who could be giving Jason the drug and how, she walked right by Sam who turns around and follows the nurse. Seeing Jason laying in the hospital bed, Sam shoves the pregnant woman out of her way to go running into his room. Practically throwing herself on her ex-fiancé, she cries, "Oh my God, Jason, what's wrong? Why are you here?"
Opening his eyes, he looks around and sees Elizabeth in Francis' arms. "Francis?"
"Ms. McCall pushed Ms. Webber out of the way so that she could run in here," was all the bodyguard would say.
Exploding in anger at Sam's behavior, "What the hell is wrong with you, Sam? Elizabeth is pregnant! Why would you push her like that?"
Trying to pretend as though she didn't mean it, "I'm sorry, it's just that when I saw you in here, I got so scared that I was going to lose you!"
"That doesn't give you the right to shove someone out of the way!" he said, not believing that she was sorry. He remembers how she wanted Jake gone from the moment she knew he was Jason's. "You could have seriously injured her! Dammit Sam, get the hell out of here. I didn't ask to see you, and right now, I really don't want to," he told her angrily.
"Jayyy-siiiin," she whined. "I said I was sorry. You don't mean that. We love each other. We can work this out, I know we can!"
"And I just said that I don't want to see you right now. Just go."
Knowing she wouldn't get anywhere if she pushed him, she stomped her foot, turned around and looked accusingly at the nurse, "This is all your fault! I really hate you!" The angry brunette storms out of Jason's room.
Taking a deep breath, Jason looks at Elizabeth, "Hey, you're back."
Feeling a little awkward about what just happened, she just looked at him and nodded.
Not wanting to lose the feeling from earlier, he motions her forward, "Come on in here."
Walking slowly towards the bed, she's unsure of how to react to Sam being here, and the things she said. "I brought the stuff that Robin asked for," she says, softly.
Reaching out to grab her hand, "I'm sorry that she shoved you like that, it was uncalled for."
"You don't have to apologize for her behavior."
"Yeah, well, it's put you on edge, and I wanna know why."
"Honestly?"
"Yes honestly. We're not going to get anywhere if we start lying to each other."
Taking a deep breath, she looks down at their hands, fingers entwined. "I know that you still have feelings for her. And it's obvious that she still loves you. So, it's not a stretch of my very vivid imagination that you two can still work things out. We've only spent a couple of weeks together, so I understand if you've decided that you want to forgive her and move past it."
"Where is this coming from, Elizabeth?" he asks, very confused.
Not truly understanding why she felt the way she did, "I guess I just don't want us to get involved only for you to turn around and go back to her later. You didn't exactly tell her that you weren't getting back together, that you didn't want to make it work, I don't know, I guess I just wondered if you wouldn't rather stay with her."
"I've already told her we weren't getting back together. She will realize it sooner or later, I shouldn't have to keep beating her over the head with it."
"Jason, you told her all summer that you weren't getting back together. She's never given up, and you were heading that way, until I told you about the baby. Why do you think she would believe you now?"
"I guess I didn't think of it that way. I did tell her over and over that we were done. But, you telling me about the baby isn't why she and I aren't getting back together, it's you telling me that you love me, and the fact that I love you."
"Sam's not going to see it that way. She's going to assume that it's because of this baby."
"As long as you realize that's not why I want to be with you, she can assume all she wants."
"You know my biggest fear about telling you this baby was yours, was that you would want to be with me out of some warped sense of obligation. And, I know you, Jason, you are an honorable man. If you would have made that commitment to be with me, just because of the baby, you would have kept it, no matter how miserable it made your life, no matter how much you wanted to be with someone else. I didn't want obligation, I wanted love."
"And I do. You know I don't say things that I don't mean."
"I know."
Knocking on the open door, Robin asks, "Am I interrupting?"
Elizabeth looks down at Jason, then over at Robin, "No, we're good."
"Great. Did you bring the stuff from Jason's? I'd like to get started testing on it. I'm hoping to get at least a few answers before this man signs himself out AMA."
Chuckling, knowing how right Robin was, Elizabeth hands her the bag of things that she found. "I grabbed whatever I saw that could possibly have been tampered with."
"Okay, I'm gonna take this and head over to the lab to start testing. You kids behave, okay?"
"Bye Robin."
