The Doctor Is In

A/N: So sorry everybody, I know it's been so long. It was never my intention to keep you guys waiting. The only thing I can say is I lost inspiration. No joke, I kept trying to start and it was blank-maybe that's what I get for starting so strong. Anyway a little bit of notes. 1. Yes I am back- and so is the inspiration. 2. Forget everything I said about Jake's therapist. New name, new character. 3. Doctor will play an important role in Elizabeth and Jason's storyline. You're just going to have to be patient. 4. In my story Sabrina is single and her and patrick never had Gabriel. Because in my opinion that storyline was horrible. I am a Patrina fan too and that pissed me off….oh and because I love Sabrina in general, look for her becoming a major player as well. Okay that's it. R&R

"Doctor Monroe, your last patient of the day is in the waiting room with his family." Sabrina said as she entered the office and gave the new doctor his file.

Griffin Monroe looked up at the pretty dark haired and Smiled, "Thank your Nurse..."

"Nurse Santiago, Sabrina Santiago that is"

"I'm sorry, normally I am better with names than this. Please forgive me." Griffin charmed

"Thank you but it's quite alright, it is only your second week here."

"I promise I'll be better at names next week."

"There will be a quiz" Sabrina joked as he closed the door behind her leaving the doctor in his thoughts.

Dr. Monroe Stared at the closed door for a moment and chuckled before returning to his case file in front of him. He was going to go through it briefly before he was supposed to meet the child for the first time. The name JACOB MARTIN WEBBER was written in bold writing at the top of the folder. Opening the folder Dr. Monroe started to read aloud to himself:

Jacob Martin Webber age Seven is having some behavioral problems inside and out side of the home. He is unruly, talks back and is downright mean to his classmates and his family. However he has Some moments where he is extremely protective of his family and in those moments, the child seems to be himself again. There seems to be symptoms of PT.S.D. and in some cases Dissociative Identity Disorder, which could be a direct result of his faked death and kidnapping where he was held hostage for four years. His mother Elizabeth Imogene Webber is a Nurse at General Hospital and resides here in Port Charles, his father Lucas Lorenzo Spencer was police officer of the PCPD and is now out of the country. His biological father Jason Morgan, alleged enforcer for the Corinthos Organization was recently dead, held hostage by the same kidnapper as his son. Mr Morgan returned with no memories and was living under the name Jake Doe up until Seven months ago. Jacob's mother and biological father Jason have agreed that their child needs as much help as possible and there is no cost restriction on his treatment.

Doctor Monroe put down the folder to digest the information. This kid had certainly been put through the ringer and from what he could tell, so had the parents. Taking on this case was not going to be easy by any means but Griffin had faith in himself as a doctor that he could help this family and change their life, so with that in mind he straightened his tie before making his way out to meet the family. Not knowing however, that this case would change his whole life.

Elizabeth and Jason Sat in the waiting room, watching as Jake colored with the paper and crayons in front of them. They had just reached a moment of peace and understanding earlier and for once the parents were in complete unison.

Elizabeth reached out to brush Jake's hair away from his face as she smiled lovingly at her son. Normally he would bat her hand away and groan but here in this moment, he was completely consumed by what he was drawing,

"I bet he gets that from you" Jason spoke quietly as he too watched his son and his mother.

"What are you talking about?"

"If I remember correctly, when you used to paint or sketch, no one and nothing could distract you. Not even me, although I did try" Jason grinned as Elizabeth blushed. He loved seeing her blush and he loved making her blush.

"Yes, well you knew how important my art was to me back then." She tried to brush off his comments so her cheeks would resume their natural color.

"I haven't seen you paint in a long time. When did you stop?"

"Along time ago, when I was a different person." Elizabeth said

The two parents just looked at each other in silence until a voice broke their staring contest.

"Jacob Webber"

Elizabeth turned to see the Doctor in front of her and was taken aback. He was tall, dark haired and extremely handsome and rather younger than what she was expecting.

"My name's Jake" Jake looked up from his drawing and glared at the new doctor which didn't deter him. In fact Elizabeth watched as he crossed over to them and put his hand out for Jake to shake.

"Hi Jake, my name is Doctor Griffin Monroe. It's nice to meet you."

Both Jason and Elizabeth were surprised that Jake actually shook his hand and Smiled. Especially for a Stranger.

"Who do you have here with you Jake?"

"My mom and dad"

Griffin shook hands with first Jason and then Elizabeth. Jason Morgan was downright intimidating, from his super strong grip to his icy demeanor. If the rumors were true about Jason being in the Mob as an enforcer; Griffin could understand why. However it was the kid's mother that intrigued him. She was probably one of the most beautiful woman he had ever met, with eyes that were haunting and piercing and a wave of the softest looking hair he had ever seen. However she was his patient's mother and Griffin was always the professional.

"It's nice to meet you both."

"Likewise" Elizabeth murmured.

"Well, why don't we all make our way to my office where we can talk?" Griffin motioned for them to follow him and he waited for Jake to appear at his side before he started walking, an action both Elizabeth and Jason noticed. Instead of his main office, Griffin walked them into the adjoining play room and motioned for everyone to take a seat in the small chairs around the table. "Jake, I am going to talk to your mom and dad for a little while and then I am going to ask them to leave. Will that be okay with you?"

"Sure, can I color?"

"Absolutely, right on that table next to us is all sorts of colors and paper, feel free to make a mess." Griffin smiled at the boy,

"Thanks!" Jake grinned and rushed over to the table.

Once he was absorbed in his coloring, Griffin turned to Elizabeth and Jason. "I have read Jake's file and while their was some talk about what was going on with him, I'd like to to have some one on one time with him before I come up with a plan for diagnosing and treatment. I hope that's okay with both of you?"

"What makes you qualified to treat our son?" Jason was never very good with subtlety.

"Jason!" Elizabeth glared at him.

"What? I think we should both know how capable he is of helping Jake." Jason tried to get her to understand where he was coming from.

"That's quite alright Mrs. Webber, I have no problem answering this question"

"Please call me Elizabeth and please forgive him, we are just really worried about our son" She spoke Softly,

"Elizabeth, Jason, I have a Bachelor's in Psychology, a Masters and a PhD in Child Psychology and Psychotherapy and I think I can help your Son."

"Do you know what's wrong with him?" Jason asked as he sat watching his son.

"I might have an idea but I'd like time to explore my options."

"Explore away, we can wait outside." Jason stood up to leave, there was something about this Doctor that he didn't like and he knew better than to not trust his own instincts.

"Jason, sit down!" Elizabeth's voice was quiet but stern and both Dr. Monroe and Jason took notice that the brunette's eyes were starting to flash.

Jason knew better than to argue with that tone of voice so he sat back down as his eyes connected with Elizabeth to express his displeasure as well as apologize.

Griffin observed as the two had a silent conversation with their eyes, and made notes in his little book about their interactions with each other.

"I'm sorry Doctor Monroe, it's just that Jake's recent behavior has me really worried and he doesn't really respond to anyone anymore." Jason dragged his hand over his face. Griffin could see the mental and physical toll this was taking On Jason and Elizabeth and he was determined to help them.

"I understand your frustration and I will do everything I can to help you all. However it seems to me that Jake isn't the only one that could use some therapy. Have either of you ever gone to therapy?"

"I have"

"Nope"

"Well I think you both might benefit, I could see you both individually as well as family sessions with Jake, would that work?"

"Okay," Elizabeth was hesitant to have individual therapy again but if it could help her son than she had to try.

"I don't mind the family Sessions but I am not going to have a shrink get inside my head, no offense DOC."

Elizabeth was shocked that Jason wasn't even going to try. In fact it pissed her off, did the last few days not mean anything to him? What happened to their united front as parents? She fumed in her head.

Griffin expected as much, "Well if you change your mind, let me know. In the meantime, I think I am ready to talk to Jake. Would you both mind waiting in my office until I call you again?"

"Thank you Doctor Monroe" Elizabeth got up from the chair and walked into the office and waited until Jason followed her before she closed the door and turned on him.

"What The Hell Is Wrong With You?" She all but screamed.

"What is wrong with me? How about what is wrong with you?"

"Excuse me? I am not the one that just decided to screw our child out of getting help because your pride can't handle the idea of talking to a Doctor!"

"This has nothing to do with my pride!"

"Really? Are you sure, because I can't for the life of me fathom why you would turn down the chance to help Jake. If it's not pride, then what is it that makes you disagree with his Doctor?"

"I don't trust him."

"Jason," Elizabeth rubbed her eyes, "you don't even know him."

"I know and I'm not sure I want to know him especially if I already don't trust him."

"This is ridiculous, I trust his ability to treat our son."

"What makes you say that?"

"Let's see for one, your mother and more specifically Dr. O wouldn't have hired him if he wasn't extremely capable. For another, family and individual therapy is something I would suggest in this case as well and I am glad he did. So in that way, yes I trust him."

"That's your problem Liz, you are too trusting. It's one of the things I love about you but it's also the thing that gets your hurt and me left picking up the pieces." Jason leaned against the door and watched as Elizabeth's face turned from calm to fury and realized that probably wasn't the Smartest thing to have said.

"I have never asked you to pick up the pieces" Elizabeth's voice was cold.

"Wait Liz, that's not what I..." He started to move towards her, but she held her hand up to stop his advance.

"Don't even. This conversation is over!" Elizabeth turned and sat in one of the chairs with her back to him and started playing with her phone.

Jason stared at her back for a few minutes getting pissed off. This was their problem. They open up, they make headway, they allow problems to come in between them and it all goes to hell. The progress that they make just seems to disappear. Sure, he shouldn't have said it quite like that, but it was what he felt. He shouldn't have to apologize for that, and she shouldn't have shut down on him like that. Well, he was done. There was only one way to move this conversation along and she was just going to have to deal with it.

"The Hell It Is" Jason growled before he grabbed her hand pulling her towards him and kissing the hell out of her.
