A short one, but it was needed to move shit along. LOL Hope you enjoy and will share your thoughts. I am hoping to be able to get back on schedule soon, but dad is still having a lot of bad days...He hasn't had a good day in almost a week now, all the stress is frying my brain and my muses. But I shall do my best to get back in my groove. Thanks for understanding!

Chapter Seventeen

"This could be a soap opera"

"How are you feeling?"

"I've been better and to be honest, it scared the crap out of me. I've dealt with a lot in my life and career, but the feeling of his hands around my throat and the look in his eyes…I won't forget that, not ever."

"I understand. It is a hard thing, to have your control taken away. For some people, they bounce back quickly, for others, it takes time. You are a strong woman Diane and a good man by your side will make things easier as well."

"Don't you go looking at me like that, I don't know what this is, but I can guarantee you, I plan to find out."

"I wasn't giving you a look; it is just nice to see the good people of Port Charles are finding one another. I guess with the three yahoos in lockup, things are going more smoothly."

"Don't you mean four?"

"I forgot about Sam, she's not really a threat, more like a sexually transmitted disease, once she's in your life, getting rid of her takes many different treatment regimens and a full body wash, consisting of bleach and maybe borax and if you still can't get rid of her, then more extreme measures need to be taken."

"You really want to be through huh?"

"You never know where she's been, Jason's fortunate that I didn't demand a full cleansing before we bumped uglies in August."

"Elizabeth, what's with the new attitude?"

"I've been shit on, practically my whole life. Ever since my rape, I've become a shell of myself. I did and said what everyone expected, I pretty much put myself into a box and let the world and its occupants lead me. The night I found Jason shot, I realized I couldn't do that anymore. I've spent the better part of my life, in love with that man and always let others dictate how I acted and reacted. I can't do that anymore, not only do we have one child already, but now, we have another on the way."

"How do you know Cameron is Jason's?"

"Is the lawyer asking or are you being a curious friend?"

"Consider me a friend."

"Well…I am sure you know the how, as for the when, I don't really know. The night I found Jason, I was trying to get him to awaken and I had…I guess you could call it a daydream. Jason and I were up at the Overlook, the sun was just disappearing over the horizon and the sky was colored this amazing array of colors. Jason was holding me in his arms and we both had tears in our eyes. The only other thing I can remember from that moment…our bodies on the grass, twisted together in pleasure."

"Are you sure this isn't just wishful thinking?"

"I suppose it could be, but I've never had anything like that happen to me before. It felt real. Doesn't really matter though, I plan on having test run on both. I don't want anyone trying to say I am pulling a fast one."

"Anyone being?"

"Carly, Sam, Sonny…there are others too, but Jason loses his mind with those three the most."

"Well, they are in jail, although, I think they will be getting bail at some point."

"Maybe they do and maybe they don't. I don't really care, so long as Jason doesn't revert to their lap dog, that is."

"How can you love him, if you think so low of him?"

"I don't think low of him, I think lowly of some of his actions and sadly, those people he has called family for the last how many years, start their shit, he's been known to drop everything for them. I don't care that he has priorities, everyone does but, I'd swear they employed hypnosis or some form of mind control, because it doesn't matter what they do, he sits there and takes it and then says, "Please sir, can I have some more." When they got their hooks in him…they warped his mind."

"I don't think I follow."

"Haven't you heard the story of his accident and the 'brain damage'?"

"To an extent I suppose."

"Well imagine what you can teach someone, when they have a clean slate. They have the urges and desires of a man, but are little more than a toddler. Give him certain information and withhold the rest, you get a man who knows pleasure, now give him the tools to protect you, at any cost, that toddler only knows pleasure and death…Without the proper building blocks, the person is stunted, our country is overrun by people who were raised badly, no different for Jason."

"Why didn't others try to give him the building blocks?"

"People did, I did, but once certain seeds are planted, changing those seeds, can prove almost impossible. It doesn't matter though, I do love him, he's had it hard but everyone always uses his 'brain damage' as an excuse, when it isn't. He may not be able to dream or see three dimensional things, feel hot and cold, but that has nothing to do with how he thinks. He's a brilliant man, when he's allowed to think for himself but I swear, they were feeding him some weird doggie treats to keep him loyal to them…I tell you, I was always waiting to see if he'd fall off the couch while trying to lick his balls and do as 'master' said."

"Wow that is an image and then some. You do that for him, I haven't seen the two of you together often, but when you two look at each other, the world rises a few degrees in temperature. You two could be the reason for global warming."

"I think that could be a stretch, but if it is so, just wait till we can spend all our time together!"

"I'm not against Port Charles becoming tropical."

"You and me both, it would be another reason for Jason to never cover that body of his. My God is it sinful."

"I wouldn't know, I've only ever seen it clothed, that boy sure likes his clothes."

"That's all you are ever going to see my darling Diane!"

"Hey, you saw my…Mac naked, hell you saw me naked, I think you need to reciprocate."

"You want to see me naked?"

"Not so much, but a girl has a right to some fantasies."

"You have Mac! Plus, you know, maybe you can convince him to resurrect his accent…"

"I forgot that he was Australian. You are right, at least in the bedroom, that accent needs to come back."

Elizabeth was about to say more, but the front door opened and in strode the men of the hour.

"I've missed you so bad!"

"You saw me a little while ago."

"I don't care, hurry up, sign whatever you need to sign, our son needs us."

"Mac and I talked, I'll sign those papers when 'they' have them ready, supposedly, you and your bossiness interrupted something important." Jason said with a laugh.

"Well, next time they should make sure the door is locked, especially if they are going to be getting busy on the living room floor."

"Duly noted, now get out of my house, can you imagine what the mayor would say, if he found you here?"

"Yeah, why wasn't I invited, pay me enough and I'll be your girl-Friday…" Elizabeth said.

"Don't you mean boy?" Mac asked.

"Not at all, I know the mayor has that stick in the mud wife, but there is a mistress on the side, a girlfriend and I know there is a hooker and one he just goes to for lap dances…He seriously does not know how to keep it in his pants."

"How do you know that? Sounds like Sonny, you don't want to know how many babies he possibly has on the way."

"That's simply, women talk, I'm a…I was a nurse, I've heard more secrets than you could imagine…I could make this town more interesting with what I know."

"Going to share?" Mac asked.

"Nope, you were trying to kick us out, remember? Besides, your…Diane needs some loving attention; I think if you return to your previous…endeavours, you could have her screaming. Alternate though, don't fall into a rut and do the same old, same old…women like to be played like a fine instrument, you'll be rewarded I promise."

"Elizabeth Webber are you giving me sex advice?"

"Nope, foreplay advice. Men figure a little of this and a little of that, and our motors are supposed to be revving at top speed, change things up and employ…just, take good care of her."

"She wasn't complaining when you interrupted!"

"True, but if you want to raise the roof, you need to do a little more. Okay, we got to get. Diane, I am sorry for what Ric did to you, but remember, you have the power. He may have stolen it momentarily, but you are a strong woman, don't give into your fear and most importantly, don't let what happened change you. You are badass and shouldn't change one iota!"

"You are pretty badass yourself now, going to take your own advice?"

"Absolutely, I have a Sex God just waiting to make me scream, I can't, won't let him go again. He's stuck with me for life."

"Sex…God…? Elizabeth must we talk-"

"I was just giving Mac sex advice, no point in getting shy now Jason, but I digress, let's go see our son."

"I like the sounds of that."

"Me too. Goodbye you two…have fun."

"Bye" Their bye was said in tandem. Before they even made it out the door, Elizabeth saw that Diane was in Mac's arms and he was kissing her passionately.

"Thank you for coming home."

"You don't have to thank me Jason, I was just waiting for you to pull your head out of your ass and claim what has always been yours."

"Always, huh?"

"Yup, always was and always will be. I love you Jason, we've made a lot of mistakes, but I'm tired of letting others have a say in our lives, aren't you?"

"I am, and you know, ever since this started, I've gotten a lot closer to Alan, he actually feels like my dad. Want to traumatize him and get busy at the mansion, he can catch us and then scold us."

"You want your dad to walk in on us having sex?"

"No not really, but isn't that what parents do, embarrass us and the like."

"Yes, sometimes I suppose, but it is normally their teenage kids, not adult ones."

"I think he didn't have the chance with me. I'm pretty sure my other self had a stick stuck up his butt."

"Funny, considering, this you did too, for a long time. It is nice to see that more confident Jason back."

"When it came to you, I never had confidence; you make me lose my mind."

Their lips met in a sizzling kiss. The temperature was rising and the longer they stood on the stoop, the dirtier their thoughts became. It had been too long since they had last been in each other's arms and shared what was in their hearts – even if then, they didn't know it was there – it was now for sure, and she couldn't contain it.

"Get off my stoop! People are going to think I'm on the take if they see you here, doing…that." Mac said as he once again shut the door.

"How'd he know we were still here?"

"You were getting loud. All I was doing was kissing you and you were getting hot under the collar."

"Baby, I'm pregnant, I haven't had sex since August, I've needed you for so long…the slightest touch sets my body on fire."

"You are good for a man's ego."

"Perhaps, but if you don't want me to rip your clothes off right here and now, you need to step back, I've been deprived for too long and having my way with you is becoming increasingly harder to postpone, observers be damned!"

"Kinky."

"You don't know the half of it."

"I can't wait to find out."

"I bet. Come on lover boy, let's go."

"Do you think being alone in a vehicle is going to help you to keep your hands off of all of this?"

"NO!"

"Let's go!"
