A/N – Thanks for the comments! Glad you like the DOOL crossover surprise. It will be more EJ than Stefano though. More to come! * surfingrams – EJ is in PC so Stefano would be referring to PC. There is no Sami (honestly, I'm not a fan of hers).

Chapter 4 - Stunned

Sarah looked down at her phone. "Crap."

Patrick turned around. "What's wrong?"

"Liz's plane is delayed."

"Isn't that the second time?" Patrick asked.

"Yes. They'll probably be a little late but they should still make it if the plane ever gets off the ground." Sarah said sadly.

He pulled her into his arms. "What do you think about my brother and your sister?"

"Shocked would be a good word. I think they'd be really cute together actually." She said smiling.

Patrick grinned. "Maybe we'll have to help them along."

"She's bringing someone. His name is Jake." Sarah said.

"Do you think that it's serious?"

"I don't know. She sounded happy though." Sarah said. "I'll guess we'll find out soon enough."

"I have to run to the store. You need anything?" He asked.

"Nope, hurry back." She said before kissing him deeply.

Patrick grinned. "I'll definitely hurry back for that."

He grabbed his keys. Life with Sarah Webber was never boring. She was smart, sexy as hell, and never took his shit. He was definitely in love.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jake and Elizabeth rushed into the cab.

She looked over at him and chuckled. "You look like you're about to face a firing squad."

He chuckled nervously. "I hope not."

He was worried that maybe the family wouldn't like him. There wasn't much he could tell them about himself. He couldn't explain it but he had a bad feeling about it; like something was going to happen that would change everything. Shaking it off, he closed his eyes and tried to calm his breathing.

She grabbed his hand, "It will be fine. Just be you. Who could resist?"

"I think you're the only one who finds me irresistible."

"Most of my co-workers would steal you from me in a second." She said smiling.

"It wouldn't work because I only want you." He said.

She grinned. "You're smooth Mr. Moore."

Jake smiled and kissed her.

The cab pulled up to the Metro Court and they grabbed their bags and hurried inside. There was a new clerk and she nervously checked them in and then they made a beeline upstairs just as Carly and Sonny walked in to go up to the restaurant.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jake zipped up Elizabeth's dress and she spun around. "Very hot." He said perusing her body.

"Thanks. You look pretty hot in a suit." She said admiring him.

He kissed her. "You ready?"

She nodded. "Let's go."

They walked to the elevator having no idea the ruckus they were about to cause.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Sonny and Carly walked up to Sam.

"How are you doing?"

She shrugged. "Okay, just wishing that Jason was here."

Carly gazed down at her ring for a second. She felt a little guilty that she had pushed Jason into giving it to Sam. He had been hesitant about it and she just thought he needed some encouragement and had told him to go for it. Sam of course was delighted. It wasn't that Carly didn't like Sam but she was always attached to Jason and made him her whole life which was never a good idea.

"We feel the same way. I'm not giving up." Carly said. She had never given up on Jason before and there was no damn way she was willing to accept that he was dead.

Patrick walked up to them. "Welcome."

Carly smiled and gave him a hug. "Thanks for the invite."

"The bars open and they'll be serving some hors d'oeuvres soon."

"Thanks." Sam said.

Sarah walked up to Monica and Alan. "Thank you for coming."

Monica smiled. "Congratulations on your engagement."

Sarah grinned. "Thank you. I'm very happy."

Audrey walked up and gave Sarah a hug. "Where is Elizabeth?"

"She texted me a few minutes ago. They are on the way up." Sarah said smiling. She missed her sister and was glad to be able to spend some time with her.

"Do you have any idea who she's with?" Audrey asked.

"His name is Jake, that's all I know." She said.

"Jeff and Andrea are running late but they should be landing soon." Audrey said.

"I can't wait to see them."

Emily rushed up to her and hugged her. "Let me see that rock again."

Sarah grinned and flashed her the ring.

"Nice." Emily said smiling.

Hearing a gasp, they all turned around.

Elizabeth and Jake stood there watching as everyone stared at them. She felt like she was in the twilight zone and it was creeping her out. Jake didn't know what to think.

Sam saw Jason and felt the air leave her body right before she passed out and Sonny barely caught her before she hit the floor.

"Matt." Elizabeth mumbled shocked to see him standing there.

Jake followed her gaze as his pulse quickened and he found himself staring at her ex.

Carly slowly moved towards them. "Jason?" His hair was longer but it was definitely him.

Jake looked at Elizabeth and grabbed her hand. "Do I know you?"

Suddenly, Carly ran towards him and hugged him tightly. "Where have you been? We've been looking everywhere."

Elizabeth's mouth felt dry and her heart was racing. This is what she had feared. Was the blonde his wife?

Jake pulled back. "Who are you?"

Carly frowned. "Your best friend."

Monica rushed towards them. "Jason?"

Jake held out his hand to stop her. "I don't know you people." He said feeling Elizabeth's grip loosening, he looked at her and then pulled her into his side. She was barely holding on.

Sam came to and pushed herself out of Sonny's arms. "Jason." She yelled as she ran towards the stunned man.

He had to let go of Liz to catch the dark-haired woman. She was clinging to him and he was trying to push her back.

"Jason, what's wrong?" Sam asked surprised that he was pushing her away.

Again, he pulled Elizabeth up against him.

"Who is she?" Sam asked angrily. "Are you cheating on me?"

Liz's eyes fluttered a few times and then closed as she passed out. Jake caught her and picked her up.

Sarah rushed up to them. "I'm her sister. Put her down over there." She said pointing to the balcony where there was a couch.

Everyone followed them and Jason lovingly laid her down and tried to wake her up.

"Jason what is going on?" Sam asked in tears.

"I don't know who Jason is. My name is Jake." He said angrily.

Monica gasped. "This can't be happening again."

Emily pushed everyone back. "Give him some air please."

He looked up at her.

"I'm your sister Emily. I'm a doctor. May I?" She asked looking at Liz and then back at him.

Jake stepped aside and Emily took Elizabeth's pulse which was beating a mile a minute. "Can someone get some water for when she wakes up?"

"I'm on it." Patrick said rushing away.

Sarah was stunned. Her sister was with Jason Morgan, mob enforcer. This was crazy. Liz was never into bad boys before.

Liz started to stir and Sarah sat next to her. "Elizabeth are you okay?"

Liz looked around for a moment, trying to get her bearings. "I'm fine." She said pushing herself up. "I just haven't eaten all day."

"Be careful." Jake said assisting her.

Sonny pulled a teary Carly into his arms. "It's going to be okay."

Jake sat on the other side of Liz. "I'm sorry." He said softly.

Everyone watched as the couple gazed at each other like no one else existed. Sam's heart fell. Had she lost him?

"I need a minute with Elizabeth please." Jake said.

One by one everyone went back inside until they were alone.

"Talk to me." Jake said.

Liz burst into tears. "It's happening." She said painfully.

"I'm not going anywhere." He said.

"Jake, they are your family and friends. Hell, one of them appears to be your girlfriend. You can't ignore that." She said angrily and then realizing she was snipping at him she wiped her face. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take it out on you."

He pulled her onto his lap. "It's okay. I feel like I want to punch a wall right now."

She brushed her hand against his face. "If you want to go talk to them or stay with them…"

He shook his head. "No, I'm staying with you. I don't know them."

"Okay." She said. "But we're going to have to go back in there. We can leave though. I don't want to ruin the party."

"Okay." Jake agreed.

Sam wiped her tears away when she saw them stand.

Carly squeezed her hand. She didn't know what to think. Clearly, Jason had feelings for Elizabeth. Where that left Sam was anyone's guess. Even though he didn't remember them, at least she knew he was alive and safe and for that, she was happy.

They stood up and Sarah approached them.

"Sorry for ruining your moment." Liz said.

"Are you kidding me? People will be talking about this for months." Sarah said trying to lighten the moment. "Jason, I mean Jake, it's nice to meet you." She said holding out her hand.

Jake shook it. "Thanks."

"This must be overwhelming. If you want to go, I will understand." She said.

"Thanks. I think we might go back to the room." Liz said.

"I can have some food sent there if you want." Sarah offered.

"That would be great." Liz said even though at the moment, she wasn't hungry she knew she should eat something.

They followed her back inside as Emily walked towards them.

"I think you should know that when you were twenty-one, you were in an accident and it resulted in you being in a coma. You had brain damage and you didn't remember anything." Emily said.

Jason was in shock.

"You were estranged from the family for a while but eventually, you came around but you never got your memory back." She explained.

"What did I do for a living?" He asked.

"You worked for Sonny." She said pointing to him.

Sonny gave him a little smile.

"He owns a coffee business." Emily said.

"Don't sugarcoat it." Edward said. "He is in the mafia and you are his enforcer."

Both Liz and Jake's mouths dropped open.

Jake was very agitated but Elizabeth got it together quickly.

"Please, no more. Let him process all of this." She said looking around.

Sam stepped forward. "Jason, we are engaged. I was so worried about you. Please come home with me so that I can take care of you." She begged.

Jake pinched the bridge of his nose and then looked around. "I'm sorry I can't be who you need me to be right now. I just need some time."

He walked towards the elevators pulling Elizabeth along with him and when they got inside he was panting and Elizabeth pulled him into her arms. "Jake, it's okay. Please calm down."

"It's not okay." He said as his eyes filled with tears. "I killed people for a living."

You couldn't live in New Jersey without knowing who an enforcer was.

"I was a bad man." He said painfully.

Liz wiped the tear away that had escaped down his cheek. "I refuse to believe that. You couldn't be the man you are today without Jake existing somewhere inside of you all along."

He started to pull away from her and she could tell he was putting up a wall.

"No. I will not let you do this. I'm going to fight for you. I know it's selfish but I don't care. I'm not giving you up without a fight. Can you fight for me too Jake?" She asked.

He felt like the walls were closing in on him. "Yes." He said grabbing her and pulling her into him as he kissed her with everything that he had.

The doors to the elevator opened and they pulled apart and walked out.

"We'll get through this." She said. "We have to."

He tried to find solace in her words but he was scared because he knew everything was about to change.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Sam sat down in a chair. Patrick sat a drink down in front of her.

"I thought you could use it."

She sighed and drank some. "Thanks."

He sat down. "Are you okay?"

"No, I don't understand." She said weakly.

"Just give him some time. He just needs some space. I'm sure it's more overwhelming for him. When he's ready, I'm willing to examine him and take some scans if he wants to." Patrick said.

Sam touched his arm. "Thank you Patrick."

"Sure." He said patting her hand before getting up.

Carly took a sip of her drink. Things had started quieting down and people were all talking about Jason's sudden reappearance.

"You know there is a chance he won't remember us." Sonny said.

"I don't care. I'll just get to know him all over again then." Carly said. There was no way in hell she was giving their friendship up.

"He's obviously living somewhere else and has a life there. He might not be willing to come back." He said.

"Then I'll visit him. I'm not giving him up. He's my best friend and we love each other. I need to be there for him." Carly said.

"I miss him too Carly, but we might have to let him go and you need to prepare yourself for that possibility." Sonny said firmly.

She took a deep breath. That was something she couldn't accept. "Let's drop it. I'm going to go talk to Sarah."

He nodded and watched her get up and then talk to Sarah and soon both women were laughing as Carly gushed over her ring. He got up to make a phone call.

"Johnny, he's back."

Johnny stood up. "Is he okay?"

"He has amnesia. He's staying at the Metro Court with Elizabeth Webber and he's going by the name Jake. Have Spinelli find out what room he is in and then you need to guard him. I'm not taking any chances with his life. When our enemies find out he's vulnerable, they might come after him." Sonny said worriedly.

"I'm on it." Johnny said. He would give his life to protect Jason.

Sonny ended the call. This was a hot mess.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

EJ watched the show, trying not to grin. They hadn't known Jason was going to show up but it would fit into their plans nicely. He slowly made his way over to Sam. "Are you okay?"

"Not even close." She said softly before wiping a tear away.

"Can I take you home?" He asked.

"That would be nice. I'm pretty much done here."

Sonny watched Sam walk to the elevator's with EJ. "There's something about him I just don't like."

Carly nodded. EJ Banks was handsome, rich, and had a very nice accent. But, underneath all of that, she didn't trust him as far as she could throw him. When he started kissing up to Sam, she knew that he was up to something. When they investigated him, they didn't find much. However, she wasn't convinced that meant there was nothing to find. She made a mental note to talk to Spinelli about it. Sam wasn't thinking straight and she just hoped that the woman hadn't brought something bad right to their doorsteps.

Jeff and Andrea got off the elevator and Sarah rushed towards them and embraced them.

"Where's Elizabeth?" Her mother asked.

"That is quite a story. You'll need a drink." Sarah said as her puzzled parents followed her to the bar.

Patrick walked towards his brother. "She's beautiful."

Matt sat his empty glass down. "That is true. Clearly, she's moved on."

"You never know how that is going to play out now that she knows who Jason is." Patrick said.

"I saw the look in her eyes. I think she loves him." Matt said.

Patrick patted him on the back. "Come on, I could use a refill."
