A/N – Thanks for the comments and the reveals! Glad you like Dylan/Georgie pairing! * ilovedana53 – I hate AJ too but it fit the plot so well. Revenge baby. It's juicy soap stuff. * Leki luuucky – No JO & Robin. Robin is hard for me because they dress her so dowdy on the show. There's no sizzle. * doralupin86 – Ah, I really wasn't trying to trick you lol. It was referenced that way because of Nik's relationship with Liz re: Jake.
To those who have asked, I don't have any plans to bring Emily back. Sorry.
Chapter 20 - Together
Jason smirked. At some point, he and Johnny were going to have a serious conversation. He still wasn't sure what to do about what went down.
"Dylan was taken by Helena too," Robin said.
Georgie looked over at him. "Really?"
Dylan nodded. "I looked a lot like Jason so Helena switched our lives. I was in an accident and had plastic surgery. I'm just remembering who I am."
"I know this is a lot to process and I'll fill you in later on what has been going on," Robin said.
"Is Maxie and Mac okay?"
Robin smiled. "Mac is married to Felicia and Maxie is a mom."
"Wow," Georgie said.
"She named the baby after you."
Georgie's eyes filled with tears.
"I have a daughter named Emma."
Georgie was overwhelmed.
"Robin, I think that's enough. Her blood pressure is through the roof," Stitch said.
Dylan stood up. "Georgie, look at me."
She looked up at him as the tears started to fall.
"It's going to be alright. I promise. We'll all stick together and help each other. You're not alone."
She dove into his chest and Dylan held her.
Johnny looked back at the computer screen. "We'll take care of her."
"We have to go. We found some more patients we're helping," Robin said.
"Okay," Georgie said pulling back and lying against her pillows.
"Hang in there," Jason said.
They ended the chat and Robin looked over at Jason. "This is going to be hard on them. You can't get those years back. Legally, they have to be their age, but in their head they aren't. I didn't think about how that would affect Jake."
"Me either. How does he go to school?"
"He would have been about to start pre-kindergarten."
"I could have Spinelli change his birth date for school purposes," Jason said.
Robin smirked. "It would be weird considering everyone knows otherwise. You have to realize that it will be all over the news when he comes back. How are we going to explain that he never aged?"
Jason sighed. "I don't know. The only thing we could do is call him something different; maybe say that Elizabeth and I had another child, but I really don't want to do that." Jason stood up and started pacing back and forth. "I'll talk it over with Elizabeth and see what she wants to do, but I think we're going to have to tell the truth about the cryonics and make some kind of deal with the school." This was a mess.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
The next morning, Robin gave both AJ and Jake shots. All they could do was wait and see how they progressed. Jason spent every waking moment at Jake's side. If he made it until the next day, Jason was going to fly back and get Liz. They would get through this together.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
The next day, Georgie stood on her own two feet for the first time since she was "killed" and her knees buckled and Dylan grabbed her and held her up. "Woah there."
Johnny was leaning on Stitch as he slowly walked forward.
Georgie leaned on Dylan and they started to walk. "I didn't think it would be this hard.
"We were frozen popsicles for a long time," Johnny said.
Georgie giggled. "I'll race ya."
Johnny grinned. "You're on princess."
They lined up and Georgie looked up at Dylan. "You better help me win this."
Dylan smirked and looked at Stitch. "I have something to my advantage."
Stitch rolled his eyes.
"Stitch can't run to save his life."
Georgie grinned. "Go," she yelled. Both of them started forward slowly. Johnny tried to reach over and tickle Georgie and Dylan pulled her closer. "No cheating O'Brien."
Johnny smirked. "Eat my dust Jones."
They both made it to the finish line at the same time, which wasn't that far away, and then collapsed to the floor laughing. Dylan and Stitch grinned as they watched them.
"They're going to be okay," Stitch said. He still couldn't believe it was possible. He had studied the notes Robin left. It was incredible and in the wrong hands, it could be really bad.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Elizabeth finished her shift and went into the locker room. She was tired and glad that she had off the next day. Epiphany walked in.
"That was rough."
Liz nodded. "It always is when you lose a child." It reminded her of losing Jake.
Her phone buzzed and she looked down at it and grinned.
"What?"
"Jason will be landing in an hour."
Epiphany frowned. "You didn't know?"
"Nope. I guess it's a surprise. He wants me to meet him at the penthouse."
"You better shower and get dressed."
Liz nodded. "And shave."
Epiphany gave her a look. "You planning something?"
Liz chuckled. "Not really, but a girl should be prepared for a make out session just in case. I feel like I haven't seen him in years."
Epiphany chuckled. "He is a fine specimen of man."
"You don't even want to know how hot he is."
"Girl, I don't know how you have resisted jumping his bones since he got back."
Liz's head tilted. "Epiphany, you would do Jason?"
Epiphany gave her a look.
"But you hate the mob."
"I do, but I still have eyes."
Liz chuckled. "Next time we're at the Floating Rib, I'll make sure to drag him out to the dance floor and we can make a Jason sandwich."
Epiphany grinned. "You're on."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Liz heard the door giggle at the penthouse and stood up. She was shocked when Patrick and Sam walked in. "What are you doing here?"
"Jason asked us to come."
"Oh."
They sat down.
"So you don't know anything about this?" Patrick asked.
"No," Liz said looking at her phone. "Jason should be here any minute."
The door opened and Liz stood up and ran over to Jason and he lifted her up and kissed her passionately.
"Awkward," Patrick said as Sam looked away.
"I missed you so much," Elizabeth said.
Jason grinned. "I missed you too." He lowered her down to the floor and they sat down.
"So, why did you summon us?" Patrick asked.
"We need to talk about your plans."
Patrick frowned. "Why the urgency?"
"When do you have to let them know?"
"Next week."
"Look, we have joint custody of Danny now and I'm going to protest you leaving with him."
Sam's eyes filled with tears. "Jason, that's not fair."
"You're right it's not fair that Danny lose his father as soon as he gets him back. And it's not fair to Emma to lose her mother when she just got her back too."
Patrick groaned. "Robin isn't even coming around to see her."
"That's because something important came up."
"Doesn't it always?" Patrick muttered.
Sam wiped the tears off of her face. "Are you taking me to court?"
"If I have to, then yes."
"God forbid I be happy."
Patrick sighed. "I need a moment to talk to Sam."
Elizabeth looked over at Jason. They got up and went into the kitchen.
"Jason, I'm kind of surprised that you came home and wanted to talk to them first. What is going on?"
"You should sit down."
"I'm fine. Just tell me."
"Elizabeth, when we got to the lab, we found AJ."
She frowned. "What?"
"I know. It's crazy right?"
She was stunned. "Michael and Monica are going to be so happy."
Jason nodded. "There was someone else."
Liz's mind was filtering through people they thought had died. "Who?"
"Elizabeth, Jake is alive."
"What?"
Jason smiled. "She had Jake. Robin started the process to bring him back two days ago. We just wanted to make sure he'd survive past forty-eight hours before we told you."
Liz heard what he said, but her brain couldn't process it. He saw her eyes flutter and she started to pass out and Jason lunged forward and grabbed her and picked her up.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Patrick sighed. "I'll turn down the job."
Sam wiped her face. "You would do that?"
"I don't want to hurt Emma or Danny. I'm not sure what will happen between us, but I think we need to put the kids first."
Sam nodded okay.
Jason rounded the corner with Liz in his arms.
"What the hell?" Patrick asked standing up. Sam moved to the side and Jason laid Elizabeth down. "What happened?"
"I told her something and it was too much for her."
"If you're going to hurt her Morgan again, I'm going to kick your ass."
Jason gave him a look and turned back to Elizabeth who was coming too. "Baby, it's okay."
She started to cry. "He's really alive?"
"Yes."
She threw herself into Jason's arms and he held her as she sobbed.
"Do you two want to explain?" Patrick asked.
"Helena took the bodies of a few people we all thought died and she basically had them frozen and with Robin's help, we're bringing them back to life."
Patrick frowned. "Cyronics?"
"Yes. They were cryopreserved."
Patrick thought for a moment. That was the project Robin had been working on from the beginning. "That's incredible."
"I know. It can't be made public until we think it though. It could be dangerous in the wrong hands."
"I agree," Patrick said.
"So, who did she bring back that made Elizabeth faint?" Sam asked.
"Jake."
"What?" Patrick asked.
"We're in the process of reversing…."
Sam's eyes fluttered and she passed out. Patrick caught her and sat down with her.
"I need to see him," Elizabeth said.
"I know. We take off in an hour."
He had only had the meeting because he knew he wouldn't be back for weeks.
Liz got up and ran upstairs. Jason turned to Patrick. "You can't tell anyone."
"Okay. So, he'll still be four technically. How are you going to handle this?"
"I don't know. Legally, there is no reference. I'm not sure what we're going to do."
Sam started to wake up and she looked up at Patrick. "Jake is alive?"
"Yes."
She looked over at Jason. "You can make things right now."
"I know."
"I want to come with you just in case," Patrick said.
"Patrick." Jason said.
"No, if something goes wrong you'll need a surgeon. Liz cannot lose him again."
Sam stood up. This was incredible. "I'll watch Emma. Where is Cameron?"
"He's with Nikolas. I'll have Liz call him."
Patrick stood up too. "I'll go pack. Pick me up on the way."
They left in a hurry and Jason went upstairs.
Liz looked up at him and grinned and ran over to him and Jason kissed her thoroughly. "You brought him back to me."
"We can thank Victor for finding the lab."
"I can't wait to see him. I don't understand how this could happen, but my baby is back."
"Patrick is coming with us. We need to find someone to watch Cameron."
Liz pulled out her phone and called Epiphany. "Hey, I need a huge favor."
"What's up?"
"I have a family emergency. Can you watch Cameron for me? It might be a few weeks before I can come back."
Epiphany was wondering what was up. "Of course I can. You want me to stay at your house?"
"That would be great. I'll leave the key with Sam. He's with Spencer right now. Nikolas was going to drop him off in an hour."
"Alright. Be safe."
"I'll check in tomorrow and I'll text you the information about school and call them to put you on the list."
"I'll talk to you soon."
Liz smiled and gave Jason another hug. "Let's go."
They finished packing and headed downstairs. Liz had cried on and off still trying to get over the shock. They picked up Patrick and headed to the airport.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Elizabeth buckled herself in. "Can't they make this thing go any faster?"
Patrick smirked. "Keep your pants on Webber."
"How about you don't mention her pants?"
Patrick looked over at Jason and grinned.
"What are we waiting for?" Liz growled. She frowned when the door to the plane opened. "What the hell?"
"We have some guests joining us."
Liz's mouth dropped open when Georgie slowly walked towards her with an assist from Dylan. She took off her seat belt and ran towards her and gave her a big hug. Georgie held on for dear life.
"Let me get a good look at you," Liz said pulling back. "Gorgeous."
Georgie blushed. "You look the same."
Liz grinned. "You are good for the ego." She looked up at Dylan. "Hi Jake."
"I'm going by Dylan now."
"I'll work on that."
Patrick gave Georgie a hug and then Dylan walked her over to a seat and sat down next to her. Johnny appeared and Liz squealed and gave him a big hug.
"Now that's a great welcome." Elizabeth looked beautiful and really didn't seem to have aged that much.
Stitch had gone back to Genoa City since Patrick was joining them, so one of Victor's men had helped Johnny onto the plane. Jason got up and got him seated, but they really didn't say much to each other.
"Hey Georgie."
Georgie smiled. Jason looked older but he was still very handsome. "Hi."
They all got buckled in. The plan started to taxi and Liz smiled. "We're coming Jake."
Jason grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
"Why are we bringing them to South America?"
"I thought it was better to have us all in one place. I want Patrick to examine them and make sure there are no issues."
Liz nodded. They took off and she looked over at Johnny who had already fallen asleep next to Georgie whose head rested on Dylan's arm. He gave Liz a slight smile and then closed his eyes. The flight would take several hours and they all were exhausted.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Georgie grinned as Jason nudged Elizabeth and she frowned in her sleep and muttered.
"She's not good with the whole waking up thing," Dylan said to her.
"I think it's cute."
Johnny grinned.
Elizabeth glared at Jason who couldn't help it and smiled.
"Baby, we're about to land."
She stretched, forgetting she had an audience and when she turned and saw everyone smiling she blushed a deep red. "How long?"
"Five minutes."
She smiled and couldn't wait to see her son.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Robin watched them walk into the lobby and was shocked to see Patrick.
"Where is he?"
Robin gave Liz a hug and then showed her Jake through the window. Liz put on a suit and they went inside. When she saw Jake she started to cry. "Hey baby, mommy's here. He looks so perfect Robin."
Robin gave her a watery smile. "That's because he is."
"Mommy missed you so badly and Cameron too. And your daddy, he loves you so much. He wants to make up for every second he missed with you. You look just like him you know. Please come back to us Jake. I don't think I could lose you again. I don't have the strength."
Robin left the room and Liz spent some more time talking to him and then went outside. It would be quite a while before Jake would wake up, they would all just have to have faith in the process.
Liz sat down. Jason was still getting Johnny and Georgie settled. She watched Patrick going into the room. Robin had just briefed him.
"Is it hard having Patrick here?"
"A little bit. I feel like he hates me you know? I get it, but it doesn't make it any easier."
Liz reached over and squeezed her hand. "I want to thank you for saving my family."
"Seeing Jake again makes it all worth it."
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Patrick couldn't believe his eyes. Jake. He looked exactly like he did before as if no time had passed. It was a freaking miracle. He looked at his vitals and studied his chart. This was going to be tricky. Robin had changed some of the medicines she was injecting. Some, she had made a smaller dosage and then others she had added. What Patrick was concerned about was brain and organ function. They would have to warm him up more slowly and just pray that his body would respond. They had him in a specialized chamber to make sure they could monitor his progression. A thought crossed his mind and he went back into the other room.
"Robin, there's a solution I want to try to add to the protocol."
She listened to what he had to say and added some suggestions and they went to do some testing while Elizabeth went to find the others.
