A/N – Thanks for the comments! FYI: The will was made prior to his relationship with Sam and the only reason he's looking at it now is because Sonny brought it up.

Chapter 11 – The Surgery

They sat down in the living room. "I suppose you want to know what was going on?" Jason asked.

Liz nodded.

"I guess a couple of years ago, I had Diane file a will. There was nothing I can do to change it right now due to the amnesia, but I took the liberty to make some arrangements. I made you my power of attorney." Jason said.

Elziabeth was shocked. "Jason….."

"I trust you to do the right thing Elizabeth. At the time, I guess I gave the responsibility to Emily and while I like her, I don't know her right now. If something should happen, I don't want to be on life support for an extended period of time."

Liz stood up. "I don't know what to say." She said starting to get upset at the thought of it. Being a nurse, she had been around families having to make those kind of decisions and it was a very painful and emotional one to make.

He stood up and took her face in his hands. "I trust you with my life as much as I trust you with my heart."

Liz closed her eyes. She would do this for him even though it would crush her if she was faced with it. "Okay."

"I also left you money."

Her eyes snapped open. "Why?"

"Because I don't want you to have to worry about anything. It's just money Elizabeth and apparently, I've got a lot of it." Jason explained.

"Normally, I'd argue with you about this but honestly Jason, I just can't. I don't want to spend our last day together thinking about you possibly dying or anything negative for that matter. I just want to be with you and hold you. Can you leave all that aside and just be in the moment with me?" She asked emotionally.

Jason rested his forehead against hers. "I love you so much Elizabeth."

"I love you too."

She pulled back and took his hand and led him upstairs. And when they got to the bedroom, she pushed him down onto the bed and kissed him passionately. Stepping back and she slowly took her clothes off as Jason watched. She reached for his shirt and he let her pull it off.

Standing, he removed the rest of his clothing and she gently pushed him so he was sitting on the bed. For a moment, she lovingly touched his face and ran her fingers through his hair before sampling his lips again. When he tried to touch her, she pushed his hands away. "Let me love on you Jason." She said softly.

He felt like his body was melting as she ran her hands over his chest and then laying a torrid kiss on him, he felt her touch his aching erection and he moaned.

"Lay back." She said. She wanted to please her man.

He moved to the center of the bed and laid back. Her hands lightly ran up his legs making him shiver before her finger lightly ran up his length causing it to twitch.

He pushed up on his elbows just in time to see her lick his head and swirl her tongue around his ridge.

"Elizabeth." He groaned.

Taking him fully into her mouth, her fingers caressing his sac, Jason flopped back onto the bed and fisted the comforter. He was barely holding on. Having her mouth around him was such an incredible turn on. When she slowly began to pump and suck he growled with impatience. "Elizabeth please." He wanted to be inside of her but she had no intention of stopping.

Her pressure and speed increased making Jason struggle to hold back.

"Let go." Elizabeth said before deep-throating him as she hummed.

And that did him in. He came with a shout as she continued to ravish him, taking all he had to give. Jason was breathing loudly and was in complete bliss when she finally let him slide out of her mouth.

"Baby, that was phenomenal." He managed to utter.

She loved bringing him to his knees. Slowly kissing her way up his body he finally pulled her up the rest of the way and kissed her passionately. Flipping them over he began to worship her body. She could feel him start to harden against her leg. God he had such great recovery time. When he reached down and touched her clit, he could feel she was already so wet for him. As he stroked her, she made the most sensuous sounds and it was making him painfully hard. He pulled back and flipped her over and Liz got on her knees and waited for him. And when he sunk into her she almost came instantly as she yelled out his name.

Jason found a steady rhythm and the room was filled with the sounds of their lovemaking. He pushed her lower and went to town, filling her up over and over as he slammed into her willing body. Elizabeth was so close. She began to push back into his thrusts.

"Yes." Jason said as she begged him for more. As he hammered into her tightness Elizabeth let go and screamed his name as he continued to pound through it and then suddenly Jason grunted and she could feel him come with every thrust. He finally stopped and caught his breath and pulled out and fell down beside her and they spooned.

Elizabeth felt the wonderful ache between her legs and smiled. "Have you ever wanted to do it on your bike?"

Jason grinned. "I'm sure we could figure it out." He said loving that his girl wanted to be adventurous.

"There's a long of things I want to try with you."

"Like what?" He asked as he played with her nipple.

Liz bit her lip as the passion started to build up inside of her. "Edible stuff and shower sex. But, I'd probably be up for anything."

Jason's eyes darkened. "Anything?"

Liz nodded as he felt his hand brush over her clit and moaned. "I trust you Jason."

Elizabeth had never said that to anyone before. Jason just awakened her erotic senses and she had meant it. She would do anything with him.

She gasped when she felt him slide into her from behind and Jason slowly began to make love to her, making her orgasm twice and then they rested and ate before making love yet again. They couldn't get enough of each other and couldn't think of a better way to relax before Jason had his surgery.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Patrick watched them get off the elevator and walked towards them. "You ready?" He asked Jason.

"Yes."

"One stop first. I thought that you might want to say hello to your cheering section." He said as he led them to a room.

Lila and Edward were in there as well as Emily and Alan. Monica was in another room waiting for them.

Alan stood up. "We had to be here. I hope you don't mind. I'm your father, Alan."

Jason shook his hand. "Hi. I guess it's fine." He said knowing they probably needed to be there figuring that this brought up a lot of bad memories from the first accident.

Jason looked over at Lila and smiled. She reached out for him and he gave her a hug.

"Are you nervous?" Lila asked.

"A little bit."

"We'll be here praying for you." She said.

"Thank you."

Edward squeezed his arm. "Good luck."

"Thanks."

Sam and Carly entered the room. Carly walked up and gave him a hug. "We'll be right here when you wake up."

Jason nodded.

Sam walked up to him and gave him a hug and then went and found a seat.

Monica showed up in the doorway. "It's time." She said.

Jason looked over at her. "Can Elizabeth come?"

"Let's get you prepped and then I'll come and get her okay?" Monica asked.

He nodded and then gave Elizabeth a gentle kiss and she watched him leave.

Alan touched her arm. "He'll be alright, he has to be. Come sit down." He said motioning to a chair. Elizabeth sat down and closed her eyes and started to pray.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jason got into the hospital gown and got in the bed. They hooked him up to an I.V. and talked to him about what was going to happen.

Monica stood by him and held his hand the entire time. Patrick left to go get scrubbed in. "I'll go get Elizabeth." She said before leaving.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Elizabeth rushed into the room and gave him a kiss. "I wish I could go in there with you."

He slightly smiled.

A woman entered the room. "Hello, I'm Dr. Wolek. I have some cards here and I need you to identify what's on them. I'll take notes and then during the surgery, I'll ask again. It's a way for us to make sure that the procedure isn't affecting you negatively."

Jason nodded. "Okay."

She went through the cards, noting that he got everything right and then went to scrub in.

The anesthesiologist began to give him some meds. "You'll be sedated in the beginning and end of the surgery." He explained. "Patrick will numb your scalp to ensure that you are comfortable. You'll be asked questions here and there to make sure your functionality is still intact. He'll be using mainly lasers, so it's actually less evasive then most brain surgeries. Once it's over, you'll be in recovery for an hour and then moved to the ICU overnight. You should be able to go home in a couple of days."

Jason could feel the meds starting to work and he squeezed Liz's hand.

"Just relax my love." She said softly.

"Love you." He said.

"I love you too."

Monica showed up in the door way and they prepared to wheel him out of the room and transfer him to the operating table. Liz walked with them as far as she could and then went back to the waiting room.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The nurse had removed a patch of hair and cleaned the area and Patrick got to work removing a part of his skull which he'd reattach at the end. And when he was ready, the anesthesia was cut back and Jason started to wake up.

"Hey there. You're not going to be able to move your head okay?"

"Okay." Jason said realizing there was music playing in the room.

Monica took his hand and squeezed. "Look at me." She said.

He looked at his mom.

"You're doing great Jason." She said before telling him a story about him when he was little.

Jason knew what she was doing so he listened so he wouldn't think about what Patrick was doing in his head. He could hear the noises but because of the meds, he wasn't in any pain and didn't care.

"Hold up your left hand for me." Patrick said.

Jason raised it a little.

"Good."

And half way through, Dr. Wolek moved forward and asked Jason to identify the cards again and he did so perfectly.

"Great job." She said.

There was one moment when Jason's body stiffened and Patrick stopped what he was doing and they made sure he was okay but the rest of the surgery went well.

Jason was asked a few more questions and then Patrick had him put back under. Once the brain started healing, they would know within the first twenty-four hours if his memories would start coming back.

Monica left and went to the waiting room.

Alan stood up. "How is he?"

Monica smiled. "He did very well. Patrick removed as much as the scarring as he could and Jason is in recovery for the next hour."

Liz let out the breath she holding and Alan grabbed her hand squeezed it. She looked over at Sam who wiped a tear off of her face and then she looked away. It was going to be the longest twenty-four hours of her life.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jason was taken to an ICU room on the same wing. Patrick would keep him sedated to give his brain time to heal, so they weren't going to bring him out of it until the next morning.

Everyone took turns visiting and Edward took Lila home. Alice brought some food back for everyone who was left and soon only Sam and Elizabeth were left, both refusing to leave.

They camped out on two couches that faced each other. Monica had brought them a pillow some blankets before she and Alan left.

"I bet you never thought we'd be here together." Sam said.

"True." Liz said. "This whole experience has been kind of out of body." She said.

"I really want to hate you. I wish you weren't so damn nice." Sam said.

Liz chuckled. "I'm threatened by you but I don't hate you Sam. You didn't do anything wrong. One of us is going to be hurt and I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish it was you. It's a crappy situation."

Sam smirked. She liked that Elizabeth was being brutally honest. "I feel the same about you. You know how easy Jason is to love. I've been with him over a year before this happened, try to imagine that."

Liz nodded. She understood. After a month she was whipped, so she couldn't imagine being in Sam's shoes.

"Are you going to give up your life in Toms River when he remembers?"

"It's just a place. If he chooses me, then I'll go wherever." She said firmly.

Sam didn't say anything else. She didn't want to think about Jason not choosing her. Both women fell into a fitful sleep, worrying about the man they both loved.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The next morning, they took turns seeing him and then Sam left to go take a shower. Emily had brought Elizabeth some clothes so she took one there.

"Patrick said that he'll probably wake up in another hour." Emily said before biting into her breakfast sandwich.

"I can't wait to see his beautiful blue eyes again." Liz said.

"I hope he chooses you." Emily said.

Liz looked up at her. "Thank you."

"Sam isn't bad but he just seems happier with you."

"I hope so. I feel bad for her but I'm going to fight for him if necessary." Liz said.

Emily smiled. "Good."

They were interrupted about a half hour later by Hannah.

"He should be awake really soon. Do you want to come in?"

Both women looked at each other and smiled and said yes at the same time.

They washed their hands and then went into the room. Patrick looked up at them. "Good morning ladies. Prince Charming is about to wake up."

Emily smiled. "Hopefully he won't be Prince Grumpy."

Liz smiled.

Jason started to move a little. His head had a bandage wrapped around it and he was hooked up to monitors. About ten minutes later, he groaned a little and then opened his eyes.

Liz smiled. "Hey." She said.

"Welcome back big brother." Emily said.

Jason looked between the two of them. "Emily, your hair is longer."

Emily grinned. "I let it grow out. You remember."

"I do." He said. Then looking at Elizabeth he slightly smiled. "Hello Elizabeth."

She smiled. "Hi Jason. I missed you."

"Alright ladies, you'll have to leave for a bit. I need to examine the patient."

They both turned to go and Jason said. "I love you both."

They turned around with big smiles and said it back before leaving.

iIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Patrick did the tests and they talked. "So, what exactly do you remember?"

"I remember who I was before the second accident as well as what happened afterwards. I don't remember anything before the first one though." He said.

"That was to be expected. I'm glad you got most of your memory back." He said.

He finished up and then Jason looked up and Sam was standing in the doorway and moved into the room. "Hi." She said smiling. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah. I passed all the tests."

She sat down next to the bed. "Do you remember?"

Jason let out a deep breath. "Yes."

Sam looked down and started to cry.

"Hey, don't cry." He said softly.

"I just love you so much Jason." She said trying to compose herself.

"I know." He said.

She looked at him, wishing he'd say the words. "Do you remember that you love me?"

Jason swallowed hard. "Yes." He said hoarsely. "I remember us."

Liz was standing outside the door and grabbed her chest. "Oh God." She said before scrambling away, needing to escape.

"I prayed that you would." Sam said slightly smiling.

"Sam…." He said before closing his eyes. He was still so tired. "We still need to talk. I love Elizabeth too."

She felt like he had just stabbed her. "I know." She said standing on shaky legs. "Just don't decide right this second. You should take some time to think."

"Sam….."

"No. I'll come back later. Just, think about how good we were together. Are you really ready to give that up?" She asked before quickly leaving, scared that he was going to impulsively leave her. She needed some air.
