Elizabeth says " Alright both of you to your corners and Jackie can we get to go boxes, thank you." She brings them and Elizbeth packs their food as Jason handles the bill. "I am

sorry Elizabeth but can we please talk?' Lucky says. " No Lucky if you want to disappoint our Son you do it yourself and I will pick up the pieces like I always do. Are we good to

go Jason?" He nods and they leave. They ride in silence and Elizabeth has so many emotions going on and Jason does not want her to find out. They were making so good

progress and their son would be here even if it were for a horrible reason.

Elizabeth's house

She quietly puts up the food because she lost her appetite and she goes upstairs to change into more comfortable clothing. Jason is sitting on the couch and just staring ahead.

They sit until he breaks the silence. " I am sorry for causing a scene back there. I was just pissed at Ric for setting Heather free because of Britt and Lucky for hurting you and

how he is going to hurt Aiden." Elizabeth says " I know and I appreciate you standing up for us but what did he mean about the real reason you were gone?" Jason pinches his

nose and says " Before I tell you I want you to know I meant everything I said about how I have always felt about you. Not just because you are Jake's mother but because we

feel about each other and how special of a connection we have." Elizabeth says " Whatever it is we will work it out."

Jason says " I got out of the cave before it collapsed. I just found a different exit than Drew and as I was leaving the FBI was there. They arrested me and told me that if I did

not do what they said there would be consequences. They forced me to be an informant for them and told me that if I did not complete my task then Carly would face RICO

charges because they had a recording and it would have sent her to prison. She was only at that meeting because I was too injured to be there and I thought the task they

assigned me would only take a month or two and I could come home but it turned into years. I am sorry Elizabeth."

She stands up and turns away and asks " Do you regret your choice?" Jason has to be honest if they are to have a chance. " I felt responsible that Carly was there in the first

place and I could not let Donna go without a mother." Elizabeth says " Nice avoidance skills Jason but I can read between the lines. You won't regret making our son and I think

you were dead because it meant Carly who is a grown woman who made a choice and once again does not have to face the consequences because Jason Morgan decided his

sons did not need a father. You practically admitted that once again Carly's family is more important to you than your children. What is wrong with you? Why are they still doing

this after almost thirty damn years?" Jason says " I know how it looks but that is not true I love my sons and I have always loved you."

Elizabeth says " Really? I find that hard to believe not to speak ill of the dead but you went back to Sam after what she did to Jake twice and now you let our son grieve. I had to

be here when his heart was breaking but his father whom he loves so much was gone. You made a choice and as always you chose Carly. You have never put us first. You

became the head of the fucking organization we when were figuring out our future all because Carly forced Sonny to give up Morgan after Micheal was shot and the only way he

would do it was to sign over the organization. Yet she went back to him and had another child with him. I asked you to run away but yet you stayed because Carly needed you.

Why don't you and Carly put us all out of misery and admit you are soulmates and get married like you were three years ago? What is wrong with me? Having children with men

who will never put them first?" She cries as she slides to the ground and puts her head on the wall.

" Please just leave me alone. You are good at walking away so it shouldn't be hard," she says. Jason approaches and sits on the ground and pulls her to him. She fights him and

says " I fucking hate you. I have given my entire heart and soul and you break again and again. Why are we not enough?" Jason lets her hit him and he rocks her gently. " You

and Jake are more than enough. I am sorry for making you feel as if you aren't. I know I hurt you deeply and believe it or not there was a time I put you first but I never told

you because I did not want you to feel obligated to me the way you were with Lucky. I wanted you to love me for me. Despite my actions, I love you more than anything and I

thank you for giving me our son. Carly is not my soulmate.

You have always terrified me because you are brave and stubborn and you risk yourself for others. When I saw Sam dead on that bed it hurt and I remembered our life together

but the dark part of me was glad it was not you. Because if I left Elizabeth it would shatter my soul in a million pieces and destroy me and I would lose the best part of myself. I

know I have no right to ask and I know I have never deserved you but I am going to be selfish and ask you not to give up on me. I need you and I love you.' Jason kisses her

forehead.
