I don't plan on doing a lot of double postings, because story four is not close to being done, but I got a PM from someone who is following this story. She is having a really bad day (really bad) and asked for another update to take her mind off things. So here you go.

Chapter 4

Elizabeth opened her eyes happy to see Jason and surprised to see Sonny. "Hi Sonny."

"Hi Liz, do you need anything?" The older man asked happy that she didn't throw him out.

"Actually, can one of you please call a locksmith for me? I need to change the locks on my apartment. I was going to let Lucky keep it but with me not staying with my Gram, Cam and I will have to stay there." At least until she could find something else. Just the thought of going back made her uneasy.

Jason could tell that she didn't like that idea. "You can come stay with me." He offered, thinking back to what that same offer led to the last time. He certainly wouldn't mind a repeat. At her slight blush he knew that she was thinking the same thing.

"I'm sure that Spinelli will love sharing his bathroom with Cam and I." Elizabeth really liked the quirky young man, but he was a bit of a slob.

"My old place is empty." Sonny offered it would keep Elizabeth and her son safe while keeping them close to Jason. He would deny that last one if anyone ever asked. "You could stay there. If you stayed at your place Lucky would still be able to get in the building, once he makes bail."

"He's not in custody. The police haven't been able to find him." Elizabeth told the mob boss and watched while he frowned. He and Jason shared a brief look. She liked the idea of staying at the Towers, but it was a luxury building and she didn't make that kind of money. "Thank you but I can't afford to stay there."

"I'm not going to charge you rent." Sonny said offended that she would even think that.

"I have to pay rent. I pay mine and Cam's way." She wasn't going to budge on that one. She was no one's charity case.

"What do you pay now?" Jason asked, Sonny wasn't going to win this one and they had other things to discuss. He wanted her and Cam at the Towers, if she needed to pay rent then she could.

"Twelve hundred for a two bedroom." A tiny two bedroom at that. Sonny's place had five bedrooms plus access to a pool and gym.

"We own the building." Jason started. "So we don't need your money. But if you insist on paying I won't accept more than six hundred a month." He saw the argument brewing, and it amazed him to realize that a feisty Elizabeth was a turn on. He took a few deep breaths to make sure he stayed in control. "You still have to pay Diane, right?" At her nod he wanted to laugh. He would love to know how she managed that one. "If you pay us six hundred you will have money left over to pay your attorney's fees as well as save up for a place you can afford. I'll have Diane draw up a lease that way everyone knows what is happening."

It was a very good plan. "Okay, thank you Jason." She turned to other man in room. "Thank you Sonny."

"You're welcome I'm glad I could help. I'll see if the police are done with your place and I'll send a crew to get your things plus send someone to clean the penthouse." Sonny could take care of that and a few other things. "I'll send dinner to your place." He told Jason. "I'm glad you weren't hurt worse." Sonny told the young mother before leaving the room.

Stepping out into the hall he placed a call. "Get on a plane today I want you in Port Charles by sundown."

Diane popped briefly back into the room. "I have instructed the hospital to send me a copy of your visit. I'm also going to go downtown and file a temporary restraining order against your soon to be ex husband." Too bad she couldn't take this to court. She'd clean the floor with Lucky. "I would like to file for a divorce instead of an annulment."

"I thought an annulment would be faster." Elizabeth would do what her lawyer recommended, but she wanted to know why the change.

"Not with spousal abuse as the reason we are filing. With the right judge you could be granted an emergency decree and be single by tomorrow." Diane knew exactly who to take her case to.

"Alright. The sooner I'm Elizabeth Webber again, the better." She was ready to put this part of her life behind her.

"Good I will get started. One more thing." Diane said before leaving. "Do you have any idea how long Lucky was sleeping with Maxie?"

"No, I've been working as a private nurse at night for the last few months." They had a lot of bills and Lucky had refused to let Nicholas help them. So she had gotten a second job. "That's why I didn't notice he was back on the pills."

"It's not your fault he's an addict." He wasn't going to let her shoulder the blame for Lucky's weakness.

Diane smirked as she watched the normally stoic enforcer comfort the young nurse. They had been holding hands the entire time she was in the room. She needed to get that divorce pushed through today. "It most certainly is not your fault. Let me handle this, and let Jason take care of you. Just so you know I've asked the DA's office to not let Ric Lansing handle this case. Considering you have a harassment charge against him I should get my wish." Or Elizabeth would own half of Port Charles. The half her client didn't own.

"Thank you Diane." Elizabeth was glad to know everything was being handled.

"It's my pleasure. I'm looking forward to buying myself a new pair of shoes to celebrate my victory." Diane left the room in a flourish ready to get results for her client.

Robin came back in followed by Emily and Epiphany. "The scans are back." The short doctor held up the pictures so that Elizabeth could see. "Both your ulna and radius are cracked. See." Robin traced the injuries. "So you get a cast for two to four weeks."

"That means no surgeries or ward work." Epiphany explained to her employee. "You can work with the student nurses or I can put you out on disability." The fact that Audrey wasn't down here with her granddaughter spoke volumes about how their conversation had gone. The older woman was a product of the stand by your man no matter what generation. Still you always stuck by family. Epiphany didn't know what her mentor was thinking.

"Disability." Came the male voice from the doorway. Alan had returned after trying to make Audrey see reason. "I'm sorry Elizabeth but with Lucky still on the loose it is too dangerous to have you here in the hospital. We would be liable for anyone injured if he came after you here." He also knew that Elizabeth had been working eighty hour weeks for months. The young woman could use some down time. If hiding behind the lawyers let her have that then he would happily be the bad guy.

"I guess I'm going on vacation." Elizabeth told her friends. But she was not going to Italy, as wonderful as that sounded. She was going to stay so that she and Jason would figure out where they went from here. Then maybe when things with the business settled down they could go to Italy together.

"Do you want to stay with us out at Spoon Island?" Emily asked Nicholas, was fine with it and she would love having someone to chat with.

"I'm actually moving into Sonny's old penthouse." Elizabeth announced to the room, wanting to see if anyone had anything to say. She had no intention of hiding that Jason was in her life. Those days were over.

"Good." Robin knew that Jason and Elizabeth had been dancing around each other for years. It was time they stopped. "We can have a bitchin Girl's Night Out there."

"Kelly will be thrilled." Emily said also liking that Jason would be close to give Elizabeth the support and care she needed. "All those guards to molest when she gets drunk."

Epiphany had left the room and now she was back with the materials for casting. "Okay Elizabeth, lets get this on you. When I'm done you can go home and put your feet up. I can send the paperwork for your leave of absence to your house."

"I'll pick them up tomorrow." Emily offered. "Jason, Nik wants to speak with you outside." Seeing the look on her friend's face Emily picked up her uninjured hand. "We are fully behind you. Nicholas is wrestling with some guilt for not seeing that Lucky was out of control. When he gets a handle on it he'll call you." Elizabeth nodded as she watched Epiphany and Robin get to work.

Jason walked down the hall to the waiting room. Nicholas stood as the other man approached. "I want you to know that I'm not going to stand in your way."

Jason just stayed silent.

"You can deal with Lucky however you see fit." Nicholas felt guilty, he suspected that Lucky was using again but didn't let himself fully believe it. "I would however like to ask you to put a guard on Emily."

"Already done." Jason didn't like Nicholas. He thought the other man arrogant and selfish but he treated Emily well so Jason had learned to tolerate him. "Elizabeth will be staying in Sonny's old place. I will make sure that you are allowed access. Just don't upset her." Jason fully expected the prince to rescind his support.

"I have no plans on upsetting Elizabeth. I've already told my staff not to allow Lucky on the Island, so if Cameron wants to stay over he is more than welcome." Lucky was an idiot. For years he gloated that he got the woman Jason Morgan wanted and his brother had just handed her over. With Jason no longer dating Sam there was no way he wasn't going after Liz. He just hoped his friend didn't get hurt.

Jason didn't say anything just nodded before heading back to the exam room. There was no way in hell Cameron was going out to Spoon Island without a guard. Nor was he spending the night. You never knew when Helena would decide to pop up and she wasn't getting anywhere near Elizabeth's son.

Robin was chatting with Elizabeth when he returned. The doctor quickly made herself scarce to give the new couple privacy. She wondered how long it would take for Jason to get Liz out of Sonny's penthouse and into his. A pool was definitely called for. Robin would track down the girls and get one started. While they were at it they'd start a pool for marriage and baby too.

"How are you feeling?" He asked pointing to the dark blue cast on her arm.

"Okay. It itches already." Elizabeth said ready to leave. "Emily went to go get Cam. I figure we'll head over to the penthouse and he can start exploring." She started chewing on her bottom lip and hissed in pain. "I forgot." She said rolling her eyes. "Cam has some things at Audrey's do you think I could go get them? It's just clothes, toys and books."

"I can take you if you like." Jason would offer to send someone but he knew Audrey wouldn't let anyone who worked for him in her home. He knew exactly where Elizabeth got her stubbornness from.

"That would be great, I shouldn't be that long." She wanted to get Cam settled. Her son had had a lot of upheaval in his life in the last few months. Unfortunately he had even more to come. Lucky was not going to be in his life and at this rate neither would Audrey.

"We need to talk about what Lucky did." Jason sat down next to the bed and once again took her hand in his. He didn't have to tell her what exactly he wanted to talk about, she already knew. Of course this being a hospital he got no further before someone else interrupted them.

"Elizabeth, I was in surgery and when I came out I was told you were hurt." Patrick looked at the bruise on his friend's face. Elizabeth had quickly become the little sister he never had and he was pissed that her loser of a husband dared to hit her.

"I'm fine." Elizabeth assured her friend.

Patrick gave Jason a pointed look. The two men did not like one another. Patrick hated that Jason was a part of Robin's life. "Where were you?" He protected that skank Sam and left Elizabeth vulnerable.

"Patrick!" Elizabeth scolded the doctor. "This is not Jason's fault. I'm not his responsibility."

Jason disagreed with both of those statements. However it was the last one he intended to correct as soon as possible. As far as he was concerned both Elizabeth and Cam were his to protect.

Patrick didn't apologize but did tell Liz that she could call him if she needed anything. With another glare at Jason he left. Monica came in next just to check in and let her daughter's friend know that the Quartermaine's were in her corner. Jason gave up trying to talk at all when Nadine came in followed by his sister and Cam.

The little guy was thrilled to see Jason but understandably upset at seeing that his mother was hurt. Jason had a surprise for him at the penthouse and he hoped that lifted his spirits. Nothing would make Cam totally happy until his mother was once again okay. With the guards in tow Jason loaded everyone into his SUV and they headed for home together.

Helena is not in this story, she is only mentioned.

Thank you for the reviews, the follows and the favorites! They really do mean a lot to me.
