A/N: Thank you for leaving feedback. It is greatly appreciated. Trini12180: I responded in a pm, but I don't know if you prefer me responding here too when I respond to your reviews or just in a PM. This is for anyone asking a question in regard to the story. Let me know what you prefer. To answer your question, Trini12180, on when Jason and Elizabeth will find out when Sam and Franco are in cahoots with each other? I had to look in my chapters as I couldn't remember the exact chapter. If you're talking about when Jason and Elizabeth find out (whether it's Aiden's paternity or that Sam/Franco are just in cahoots), Jason finds out in Chapter 28. I'm revealing many things in each chapter and unfortunately, I'm unable to reveal everything all at once. I hope you're all still enjoying the story.

Title: Rewrite the Stars

Chapter 12

***Baldwin House***

(Franco is currently doing a little cleaning on his day off while Elizabeth was at work at GH. There is a knock at the front door. Franco wasn't expecting anyone, unless Cameron forgot his keys. After answering the door, Franco had an unamused face at seeing Jason standing in front of him)

Franco: "Oh, it's you."

Jason: (nods) "Yep. Is Elizabeth here?"

Franco: (shakes his head) "Nope, she is at work. Anything else?"

Jason: "No."

(Just as Jason is about to walk away, Franco speaks)

Franco: "On second thought, come on in, Morgan. I think it is time that we got a few things straight. You know, man to man."

(Jason, who is turned sideways, looks at Franco like he'd rather be anywhere but there. Jason sighs deeply as he walks into the house and Franco shuts the door. Franco offers Jason a chair or the couch to sit down on. But, Jason just wants to get it over with)

Franco: "Sounds good to me."

Jason: (shrugs) "What's this about, anyway?"

Franco: "You….and my wife."

Jason: (confused) "Elizabeth? What does Elizabeth have to do with this?"

Franco: (serious tone) "For starters, you can stay the hell away from my wife. You're around her all the time and comforting her when she's down. The comforting part? That is MY job. You don't need to be around her all the time."

(Jason, who was far enough away from Franco, stares straight into his enemy's eyes as he walks slowly to him until they're mere inches apart)

Jason: "You don't tell me what the hell to do, you fucking prick. If Elizabeth ever needed me or needs me, I'm always there for her and vice versa. As for you getting all pissed off on my comforting Elizabeth? She turns to me because she trusts me, just like I trust her. I don't give a shit that I hurt your so-called feelings. If you're so upset that I took your place on the comforting part, then why don't you do your damn job as a husband and quit worrying about what I'M doing?"

Franco: "You have Sam to protect and comfort and love. You don't need Elizabeth, too. She's MY wife, NOT yours."

Jason: (shouts) "THEN FUCKING ACT LIKE IT AND QUIT CRYING LIKE A DAMN BABY!" (sighs deeply) "Elizabeth is my friend, first and foremost. However, if she ever needed me, I would NOT turn her away. Just like she would never turn me away, either. We have a past that includes our son, Jake. We are bonded for life because of him."

Franco: (to himself) "You're bonded for life because of Aiden, too." (normal voice) "You may be bonded for life, but it doesn't mean you two have to be around each other all the time."

(Franco walks away before facing Jason again and points at the mob enforcer)

Franco: "I thought you and Sam were supposed to be so in love? You obviously are not if you're making goo-goo eyes at my wife."

(Jason sighs as he wipes his face. He wasn't ready for the truth to get out yet. However, he knew it was bound to)

Jason: "Sam and I aren't together anymore."

(Franco quits walking around and faces Jason, stunned)

Franco: "Excuse me?"

Jason: (shrugs) "You heard me."

Franco: "You and Sam aren't together anymore? When did this happen?"

Jason: "Why does it matter? Her and I are over."

Franco: "Don't think that because you and Sam are over, that you can move in on my wife."

Jason: (weird look) "Why would I do that? I know that Elizabeth is married to you. She would never cheat on you and I would never ask her to do so. I may hate you, but I respect her relationship with you."

Franco: "Trust me, the feeling is mutual. I can't stand you and your holier than thou attitude. If you ask me, Sam is better off without you."

Jason: (raises his eyebrows) "If I had it my way, Elizabeth would be far away from you. You don't deserve her. You never did and never will. But, I would never tell her what to do. She makes her own decisions, which I respect and vice versa."

Franco: "Elizabeth and I found true happiness when we didn't think that it was possible. I do not intend on wasting that just because you and I can't stand each other."

Jason: (warning tone) "You better be good to her…or you'll have me to deal with…got it, Baldwin?"

(It was in that moment, the way Jason was talking about Elizabeth…Franco could swear on a stack of Bibles that Jason was truly, completely in love with Elizabeth again. Franco didn't know if Jason realized it or if he was in denial. However, one thing was for sure. Franco would NOT let Jason have Elizabeth when she was married to Franco. Franco knew that if Jason and Elizabeth knew Sam and Franco's secret…that Aiden Spencer was really Jason's biological son with Elizabeth, that would bring Jason and Elizabeth even closer. Franco would NOT allow that. Not over his dead body. Not if Sam or Franco had anything to say about it)
