Okay, ladies you are getting the smut at one spot and sweet and loving at the other. As for the person who suggested I let the little old ladies read the smut. You are right, they might enjoy it, but I actually go there twice a week and read this to them as part of a program. The director of the nursing home would more than likely have a heart attack if she walked in and heard. I also post in on the general computer to be read there. I have old people I have never meet and nursing staff that reads it instead of watching GH, I don't want them looking at me like I'm nuts. By the way, Kellie, like you they have been reading instead of watching for weeks. Not even the current crisis is getting their attention. Oh and Surfergrams, I need an update soon on your story or they will start to smack me around again! PLEASE! Those motorized wheel chairs hurt. Mandy.

Switching Places NC Version

Elizabeth was entering the ER having been dealing with the latest crisis. Today they had busy, so far two heart attacks from the heart and several sunburns, one that had a patient being admitted. An elderly man had gone for a walk and ended up in the ER dehydrated and he had almost died from having an asthma attack.

Ducking into the supply closet, she called Mercedes to see how Lia was doing. They were at the Quartermaine residence along a couple of guards visiting with Lila and Audrey. Closing her phone as she walked back into the fray, she was handed a chart and told the patient was in room 4.

"Okay, Mr. Sanchez." She said reading the chart as she walked it, "I understand you sliced open your arm."

"Helllllooooo! Senorita." Diego said from the bed where he laid. Jax was standing next to him rolling his eyes.

"Diego, this is my friend, Elizabeth. Treat her with respect." Turning to Elizabeth he said "He came home this way, does it need anything more than stitches?"

After cleaning up Diego's arm, she asked if he had his tetanus shot updated. Only to be told he couldn't recall. "Okay, we will give you one just to be on the safe side. Jax, he is going to have to come back in a week to get the stitches removed."

"Will you be my doctor?" Asked the kid on the table.

"No, I will be working upstairs next week." She gave him cleaning instructions and handed Jax the paperwork before entering the hug to see Lulu there.

"How are you?" She asked stiffly.

"Fine, Mike said to come down here and get this taken care off." She said showing Elizabeth her hand.

"Follow me." She said before taking her to get the glass removed. "When did you get home?"

"Two days ago and Aunt Bobbie promptly turned me into slave labor." She complained as Elizabeth took care of her.

Jason took out the bike, wanting a few minutes alone. Elizabeth was working and he wished she were with him. He sometimes wondered how to get out of being in charge. He hated it but knew that it was why things were so calm.

Speeding up along the cliff roads, he saw the oncoming car and swerved to avoid hitting. As he got the bike back under control, he felt the adrenaline pumping and slowed down to stop on the old bridge. Breathing he throw his head back and looked up at the blue sky.

Work was seriously getting to him and he had shut down on telling things to Elizabeth since Helena. She was right about that, but he could not help himself. His mind took him to the penthouse that night and the guards not stopping the bomb from reaching upstairs, or they would have Elizabeth getting shot not Sonny.

Francis kept telling him to talk to Elizabeth, but he didn't know what to say so he would get upset at little things like Milo not being right next to her. He knew she was worried and whatever Carly and her had been discussing was eating at her, but she wasn't talking to him either.

Looking at his watch, he saw it was almost the end of her shift, maybe they could talk, ride the bike to the cabin and just talk things out.

Elizabeth was getting ready to leave when a call came in. "Delivery truck vs. motorcycle out the cliff road, Elizabeth." Said Steven as he came into the room and pulled on a gown. Elizabeth froze and turned to stare at him.

"What?" She asked shaking. Jason was picking up the bike this afternoon.

"Two incoming, Jones is on his way down and you are helping him with the head trauma, driver of the bike wasn't wearing a helmet." He said not paying attention to her as his own patient was wheeled into the ER. Taking charge, he never saw Elizabeth pass out.

"Elizabeth!" Said an entering Emily and Nik as she turned white and slid to the ground. Milo was trying to get someone's attention but they were all focused on the incoming gurney. The riders face was a mess and Tony rushed over to take charge, calling out to Elizabeth, he saw her and told Epiphany to get over there and help the nurse. "There isn't much I can do for this guy." He said as he saw the open wound and leaking brain tissue.

Jason entered the chaos and saw Nik carrying Elizabeth to a room. Rushing over, he took his wife from the other man and waited for him to open the door. "Elizabeth, come on sweetie, open your eyes for me, come on."

"Mr. Morgan let me through." Said the accented voice of Dr. Thornheart. "Does anyone know what happened?"

"Her brother told her she had a patient coming in and she just passed out." Said Epiphany as Milo realized what had happened.

"A guy on a bike not wearing a helmet on the cliff roads." He gave the shorthand version. Emily and Jason's eyes met, she could see the guilty expression in them and asked "Jason what are you driving today?'

"The bike, she thought it was me." He said moving closer to Elizabeth as she came to saying his name. "Elizabeth, I'm right here."

"You, you are okay." She said breathing a sigh of relief before pulling herself into his arms. "Thank god. I just couldn't get the image of it being you out of my mind."

It almost had been him, he acknowledged. His frustration that was the result of keeping things bottled in added to his annoyance at normal things could have made this a worse tragedy. It could have been him. Looking up into Elizabeth's eyes he saw she knew that by the softness in them as she said "You are here with me, that's all that matters now."

"Elizabeth, I want you to take it easy." Said an entering Tony Jones. He had figured it out when he saw Morgan wearing a leather jacket as he had came in. While he couldn't stand Morgan, Elizabeth had more than earned his respect while working here, first as a nurse and now as a nurse practitioner. She was level headed, fair and a very compassionate young woman.

"I'm fine, Dr. Jones. Just was a little light headed." She said as Ian Thornheart handed her a bottle of juice and told her to drink it.

Alan had heard that Elizabeth passed out in the ER and then about a motorcyclist dying and came to the worst possible conclusion. Rushing into the room, he stopped and breathed a sigh of relief to see his son with his wife by his side. "Are you okay?"

"Fine, different rider and I need to take Elizabeth home."

"Why don't you leave Lia over at the house with us, Both of your grandmothers are spending the night and I think Monica and I can recall enough about raising kids to not terrorize your daughter too bad. "

"Mercedes is there so I am not too worried." Said Elizabeth. "Is Tracy still in Oklahoma?"

"Yes, there is a board meeting next week and she wants to keep her position. She is visiting a couple of the members of the board, trying to convince them to keep her on. The only drama will be Sage and Brooklynn teaming up on poor Dillon."

"From what I have heard poor Dillon deserves all the hell they can give him." She said.

"I gather it's already reached the grapevine about what happened at Kelly's?" Asked Alan wondering why Jason was so quiet.

"Yup, I think that if I were Sage Alcazar, Dillon would be a very sorry boy. From what I understand, Bobbie is none too happy with either of them as well.'

Once they were on the bike, Elizabeth tightened her arms around Jason and leaned in to say "I was so glad it wasn't you. WE need to talk, though. No more of this nonsense."

"You are right. The cabin?" He asked.

"No, lets go to the store first, I'm hungry and want to cook dinner out there."

Alan was shaking his head as they pulled away on the bike before calling Monica and telling her they were babysitting that evening. "Do you think you are up to it?" He teased.

"We won't have the teens; they are going to Lorenzo's. Skye invited them. I think she is planning on trying to get through to them since Lorenzo is in Syracuse."

Georgie called Alexis to let her know that Johnny and her were okay. "So what did you see today?"

"Washington, DC. Tonight we are going to this concert on the Mall." She told her stepmother before handing up. Turning to her entering boyfriend, she asked "Where were you?"

"Arranging for our picnic. I also called about my sister. Francis thinks they may have a lead." He told her while waiting for her to put her sneakers back on.

"Good, but what are you going to do once you find her, have you thought that far ahead?"

Carly was still reeling from Michael's request so when Jax as asked her to dinner, she wasn't even excited. Heading into her walk-in closet to find something that said nice and interested but not too interested she called Alexis only to reach her voicemail.

"Mom, why can't I?" Asked the red headed boy as he walked into her room.

"Michael, you are not going to go to Military School, if your friend Harry wanted to join the circus would you want to do that to?"

"But Mom, it would be so cool?" He said before tossing himself backward onto her bed. Then looking up he said critically. "Not the yellow sundress, it makes your butt look big."

For a minute, Carly actually considered sending him to Military school after that remark, but after looking in the mirror realized he was right. Holding up the navy blue dress, he waved his hand as if to say try another. Finally saying yes to the dark purple one.

"So, Mom, please?" He begged.

"No, but I will talk to Sonny and AJ about letting you visit, okay?"

Jason could feel the tension in Elizabeth's arms as they drove out to the isolated cabin after spending time with Lia at the mansion. Something had brought back the tension she would get at odd moments, but Jason had no idea what it was.

Seeing the turnoff, he stopped in the clearing and asked if she wanted to take a swim before heading up to the house proper.

"Sure." She said with a small smile. "With or without suits."

"With, we have to talk, about more than just today." He said knowing they both had been breaking their promise to talk to each other about things.

Sonny was heading home, seeing Maxie Jones enter in her candy striping uniform he asked if she could hand him his cell that was just out of reach.

"Sure, Mr. Corinthos. Are you ready to leave, I promised Aunt Bobbie I would let her know so that she can order the wheelchair."

"You could pretend you forgot." He said and smiled when she laughed and said "I will bribe you, fifty bucks."

"Money gone in an hour or my aunts wrath for the rest of the day, I think I will tell her. Sorry, sir."

"One hundred?" He said.

"Sorry." She said even as she went out the door.

"It's hard to corrupt kids theses days." Said Jordan from the doorway. "You asked to see me?"

"Yes, I need you to draw up some legal papers for me. Here are the specifics." He said handing her the sheathes of papers.

After reading them she looked up shocked "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I guess you could say I hand an Epiphany." Then turned as Maxie entered with the gruff older woman and started laughing at the mental image his words gave her.

"Maxie, do you want to spend the rest of the afternoon scrubbing bedpans?"

"No, Nurse Johnson." She said still laughing as she left the room.

Jason waited until they were drying off, then suggested they change and talk. Seeing Elizabeth tense, he was worried. Something was eating at her, but she was still refusing to explain. Thinking back he realized that it had started about the time of Helena's bomb. Maybe she no longer believed he could keep their daughter safe, maybe that was the problem.

Elizabeth silently went to the bedroom to change, knowing she was angry at something that hadn't even happened. She slipped on her sandals and joined Jason on the stoop of the back porch overlooking the creek that flowed into their lake.

"Okay, first I need to tell you something's." He said. "I am finding it hard being in charge of the business."

Looking at him in surprise, Jason touched her hand and continued. "I know I'm good at it, but it's the minuet details that are bogging me down. I hate having to decide who does what and who to deal with next."

"Then delegate. You trust both Francis and Johnny, have them takeover some of this. You did a lot of this for Sonny, have them help you."

"It's not that simple, I hated doing this stuff, so why would I pawn it off on them?"

"Maybe because it is the sort of stuff that Francis is good at. Leave Johnny in charge of whatever he is in charge of and have Francis deal with the other crap." She made it sound so simple, but how could he just push it off onto his men.

"Then there is the fear; I keep seeing you lying in that hospital bed instead of Sonny."

"Jason, your business isn't responsible for this, in fact it was your business that kept us safe." She reminded him.

"What about the danger?" He asked still worried. "How are you not scared for Lia?"

"I AM SCARED, but I refuse to let it control you, or me like it did before. DON'T YOU DARE USE THE DANGER SPEECH!"

"What danger speech?" He asked confused.

"The one you must use in the other timeline all the time, I mean while else would you abandon me and then later our son. The only other reason I can come up with is you don't really love me." She said breaking down.

"Elizabeth, what are you talking about?" He asked confused.

"I was talking to Carly at the hospital while she was sitting with Sonny. I got her to tell me all about what really happened. You dumped me in your penthouse and ran off to protect Courtney using danger as a reason, but were MARRIED TO HER. You claimed Sonny and Sam's kid, made plans to adopt another one and where trying to have a kid with her, but abandoned Jake and I. So either you don't love me or you are a coward, just like you are trying to be here." She said getting up to leave.

"Elizabeth, we have to talk. You have been punishing me for weeks, for something I DIDN'T DO!" He said pointing to himself. "I have had enough, I didn't do this, a man who has lost your repeatedly did that, NOT ME!"

"Well what am I supposed to think?" She said "You have been withdrawing from me, we don't talk about anything but our daughter and what happened. NOTHING else, but the danger, lately. I keep feeling like you are getting ready to leave." She admitted sitting back down.

After a small silence, she said "You are right, I am punishing you for what hasn't happened, but Jason I am scared. You have been shutting down and I feel like I am pushing things when I try to talk to you about it."

"I'm aware of that, I feel the same way." He said sighing. "You have been so quick to argue lately, I keep thinking you have to blame me for what is going on."

"No, I blame Helena and Luke. NOT you." She said forcefully.

"Then talk to me, tell what you are thinking?" He said.

"I am thinking that we need to talk, more." She said flushing. "I'm guilty too, I have been so angry with the other you and me that it has bleed over onto the real world."

Chuckling a little, he said "Makes you want to kick their rears, doesn't it."

"Yes, it does. I guess we should have talked before now, huh."

"Yes, I mean, when I tell you what is going on, it eases the burden. But I have been so worried about dealing with everything so that we can have that life we have been planning, I forgot we are more than three-quarters of the way there."

"So, for now on you are going to accept things, right?"

"No, from now on I am going to fight for what we want, our family and for dreams. For all of us." He said.

"Jason, you have others to help share the burden, Me at home. Francis and Johnny as well as Max at work. Don't forget him."

"You have quite a soft spot for Max, should I be jealous?"

"Not likely." She said. "I'm sorry for being so snappy lately. Also for calling you a coward."

"Technically you called the other me a coward, not this one. However you did call me an arrogant ass the other day." He said laughing but she could see it had hurt him.

"I am sorry about that remark too. Things had gotten so out of control, I have been hurting the one person who could make it better by talking."

"Elizabeth, just remember one thing, I love you and our daughter. I will do whatever it takes to protect our family and us. But there is one exception to that; I won't leave you. I promise." He said before pulling her into his arms and repeating himself. "I swear; I won't ever use danger as an excuse to leave you."

"Thank you, I needed to hear that. I promise never to throw our other selves at you again." She said with a smile that finally reached her eyes. "We should start dinner soon."

"Maybe we can skip eating?" He said with a raise of his eyebrow.

"Well, you can always try to convince me." She said as he picked her up and carried her into the back room and laid her on the bed.

Removing his shirt, he joined her saying "There is something I have been wanting to do, for a while no-" his head landed on her chest, as his pocket started to vibrate. Growling, he was debating not answering when he heard Elizabeth's phone ringing as well.

Johnny was trying to reach Jason, well aware that he was going to be toast when his boss returned, but this could not wait. "Jason, something as come up. I have to run into the city now."

"Is Francis there?"

"Yes." Said Johnny then handed the phone to the other man.

Francis listened and then laughed before saying are you sure about that Jason, you might regret it later on."

After listening for a few minutes, he nodded his head and said "I will take care of that for you."

"What did he say?" Asked Max from the corner where he was nursing a swollen lip. "Johnny, if this doesn't go done in time for my date tomorrow you are fucked."

"No, I'm screwed if it turns out I'm about to become a father. What was I thinking?" He asked then turned to Francis nodded his assent. "I will be back the day after tomorrow."

After the Irishman had left, Mac looked at the headline in the paper he had been reading. Fashion editor expecting latest addition, no publisher in sight. "He didn't have to hit me I was just joking around."

"I think you hit a nerve, I mean what if it is his kid?" As Francis looked at the photo of Kate Howard and said to the other man. "This could be a disaster waiting to happen."

Elizabeth listened as Carly told her the news, "Okay, I can understand, but really Carly I don't know what to tell you." Seeing Jason getting up to put his shirt back on, she carried her phone into the kitchen to start the spaghetti with olive oil and herbs.

Mentally thanking Sonny for the recipe, Elizabeth directed Jason to make the salad while she started the entree. "What is up with Johnny?"

"No idea, he just said he had to go into the city immediately." He said shrugging his shoulder while taking care to follow her directions.

Elizabeth called to check on Lia since it was close to her bedtime. Hearing her grams and Lila assure her that all was well; helped ease Elizabeth's uncertainty. It was the first night she was spending apart from her little girl and she knew she needed to relax.

Jason was looking out the window at the storm brewing off in the sky. "It looks like it is headed this way."

"Thunder and lightning, along with wind and rain. Sounds like fun." She said as she reached around Jason to look through the curtain. "Did you put the bike in the shed already?"

"No, I'll take care of that after we eat, there should be enough time." He said as they soon sat at the old wooden table. Elizabeth handed him the small salad while going to pour them some tea. "This was all we have out here." She said handing him the sweet and ice cold tea.

Skye sighed as she once again found herself agreeing with Brooklynn, all boys are idiots. Thank god they grew up to be men. Some actually matured into decent human beings. "Sage, he isn't worth it."

"I-I just can't believe what I saw. I asked him, I did. He admitted to having sex with her that night."

Brooklynn was swearing off ever eating at the diner again, when she saw the look on Skye's face and knew she was making the same vow. "I could smack my cousin upside the head. Seriously, she was in town for what? Two days before they did this."

"Lulu can have him; I never want to see his lying cheating face again. How could he send me those text messages and e-mail then sleep with her."

"Simple, she was available and he was a guy using his little head not his big one." Said Skye. "Sage, goes out and find yourself some sweet new guy and walk away with your head held high. You weren't the one caught with your legs wide open in the middle of your family diner by a police officer."

"True, think about it. Dillon is now facing public indecency charges along with Lulu." Said Brooklynn, who knew that her Uncle was facing much worse at home, including his mother's wrath.

Carly was reading the banner at the bottom of the television, while Michael was playing his hand held game. "Little man, I think we need to get some candles and flashlights ready. It's going to storm tonight."

"Hey, there is someone at the door.' he said rushing to let in Jax. "Hello, Mr. Jack. Sorry Mom canceled, she looked really pretty for your date."

"Military school, you know I might consider it." She said as she walked to the front hallway. "Jax, didn't you get my message?"

"Actually I did, but since I didn't want to face the storm alone, I thought I would come over and see what all of you were up to. I brought presents." He offered to sweeten the deal.

"I'm not bribable." Said Carly even as she moved to let him into the living room. "What did you bring?"

"There is an extra large pizza in the foyer along with the fixings for s'mores." He said then went to get the promised treats to Michael's happy cheers.

Mac and Alexis had just put Kristina down as they talked about their newest child and worried about their daughters. "Do you think we should check on Maxie?"

"I called earlier; she had just ended her shift at GH and was going to stay with Jesse tonight. We know that Georgie is still in DC so she is out of this weather."

"Alexis, I just worry. I can't help it." Pulling her into his arms, he asked "Do we still have the emergency kit nearby?"

"In the closet next to the fire extinguisher." She said as she walked to check on it. "See right here. I hope Nik and Emily are okay."

"They should be fine. Aren't they at the mansion?"

"Yes, I just worry about them on the Island." She said. "Nik might get frustrated with Tracy and want to head back there."

Jason saw the wall of rain as it moved toward him while he was wheeling the bike into the shed. Dinner had gone a little bit longer than he had expected. Elizabeth and he had talked through their fears and frustrations over Helena and his job along with the new threats that Carly had made them aware of.

As he was locking the shed, he felt the rain drops start to fall. Making a run for the porch about fifty meters away, Jason had almost made it when he slipped on the newly slick grass. Trying to brush off the mud as he got up, he saw his jeans and shirt were a total loss. Looking around, he smirked and decided to get out of them before tracking the mud into the cabin.

Tossing his muddy and sopping wet clothes on the bench, he reached into the seat to grab one of the beach towels Elizabeth had insisted on sticking there last year. Drying off the best he could, he picked up a second towel and wrapped it around his waist. Seeing the lightning start to flash off to the west, he quickly entered the cabin.

Silence and then the sound of a crash. Looking up from where he was peeling off his socks, he recognized that look in is wife's face. Want and need were warring between obligation. He gave her a soft grin, which she returned. "Bring me the bottle next to the stove. Then you are all mine."

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! NC-17 after this point.

Jason picked up the green bottle and went to hand it to Elizabeth never taking his eyes of the damp white t-shirt she was wearing. He had known getting caught out here in the storm would be interesting, now he just has to work up the courage to ask he what he had wanted to for weeks.

Elizabeth reached for the bottle of extra virgin olive oil, making sure to have a tight grip on it. Sonny would have conniptions if she asked him for another too soon. It was an expensive import from the regions of Turkey. She had listened as he explained that the Old World makers of it hand pressed each olive to gather its oils.

She did not want to have to explain dropping it because her husband was standing in the doorway clad in nothing more than a thin terry beach towel that did nothing to hide his rather obvious erection. Swallowing, she was placing it in the cupboard above her head, never noticing as the screw cap lid came off.

It wasn't until the oil was dripping all over the front of her t-shirt that Elizabeth realized what she had done and tore her eyes away from feasting on her husbands well toned body. Taking a deep breath, she tried to regain her scrambled mind and figure out where the dishtowel she had been using was.

Jason was coming over to help, when Elizabeth picked up the lid and turned to grab the upended bottle on the shelf. Tossing the towel into the ever-widening pool of oil on her freshly cleaned granite counter, she tried to screw the lid on, but her hands were too oily.

"Here, let me help." She heard as Jason stepped in close behind her and took the lid and bottle. She could feel the pressure of his arousal against her lower back as he wrapped his arms around her to finish his task while Elizabeth couldn't tear her eyes away from watching him.

Sighing she leaned back into him a little as she thought there was something wrong with her, there had to be. After all what woman would find it erotic to watch someone place a lid on a simple bottle of oil. As his calloused hands threaded the glass bottle and metal lid together, Elizabeth found herself warming in places at the same time as she could feel her nipples pucker with want.

She placed her head into the crook of his shoulder blades and signed this time a little louder.

Hearing Jason calling her name, she came back down to earth and placed her hands on the counter since her legs had grown weak from pure need. "Jason, did you say something?"

She could feel him leaning forward as he surrounded her, his hands now placed on either side of hers as his body left mere millimeters between their bodies. When he whispered "I asked if you were okay?"

Actually she wasn't. Elizabeth was certain she had just came close to having an orgasm at the idea of sex in the kitchen, let along doing so. Lifting her hand and placing them on his chest as she turned around, she saw she had accidentally placed oily handprints on his upper shoulder.

But instead of reaching for a towel, Elizabeth didn't even think, she just reacted by leaning forward and licking the spot on his left shoulder. "Yummm." She whimpered as she felt Jason's body reacting to her touch and she slowly licked the remaining oil from his left side.

She could feel Jason's hands when they reached to stop her, but she had no intention of stopping. Instead she had plans for that lovely oil spill so that when Sonny asked why she needed another bottle she could solemnly assure him that none had gone to waste.

Maneuvering her husband until he was the one against the counter, Elizabeth reached behind him and placed her left hand in the oil while moving over to lick it off his right side. She could hear Jason's breathing as it turned shallow from want. "Do you want me to stop?"

"Not on this lifetime." He said as she soon made a trail down his body with the oil. Following with her lips and her tongue she removed the towel that was in her way and tossed it aside with her right hand.

She heard when Jason had stopped breathing, knowing he had missed this part of their lovemaking while she had been pregnant and then breastfeeding afterwards. She had decided to make it up to him tonight in a way he would never ever forget. Placing her hand in the oil, she made sure to make sure it was nice and wet before bringing it around front and clasping it's twin.

As she rubbed her two hands together to warm the oil. She was still continuing her slow descent down Jason's stomach. She smiled when she looked up and realized his eyes had not moved from where they were watching her slowly removed the trail of oil. Good, he was distracted, so the next part would be quite a surprise, she thought as she wrapped her now warmed hands around his rigid shaft and listened as he moaned in pleasure.
