She makes her way and she wants to surprise her children so tells them she needs their help with something. They follow her and once she reaches the foyer Jason and Danny are standing there and Jake takes off and runs to his dad. " I missed you, Dad. Are you staying for good this time?" Jake whispers. " I missed you too much and I am not going anywhere unless my family is going ok," Jason says and puts him down so that Danny can hug him. Chloe skips over and he opens his arms waiting for her. It doesn't take long and he holds her tightly. " You are super strong Daddy," Chloe says. He puts her down and he squats so that he looks at her in person. " I know you have talked to him before but officially meet your other brother, Danny," Jason says. They hug each other shyly and Chloe says " I hope I am getting a sister because it is not fair being the only girl." Her parents and siblings laugh at her dramatics.
Jason's room
After getting lunch the kids are in the playroom making up for lost time and Elizabeth has a video monitor to keep an eye on them. " Jason, why are you upset?" She asks as she notices the annoyed look on his face. "Because I want to stay in your room. We have been separated long enough." He said. " I know we are trying again but I want to take things slow. Get to know each other again and the good news is I was able to get a divorce from Franco uncontested. So we have a clean slate as far as that is concerned. But sooner or later we will have to face everyone else. I mean Sam is still Danny's mother and she only agreed to let you have him because you can protect him better. There are two things you should know. Once I found out who implanted me with your sperm and why Sam was targeted." Elizabeth says.
"We will get to the fact that you are free later but tell me the truth about what you know," Jason says. " Turns out Lucky cannot have children and wanted a way to hold onto me and to get back at you. Imagine his surprise when the test results said it was Nikolas's baby. Helena fixed the results as well and Lucky said nothing of course and then in his drunken stupor he let it slip on what he had done Nikolas wanted to protect him so he went along with the lie even after we thought Chloe was gone. Sam was never in real danger; they wanted to draw you out. We see how that turned out." She says. Jason whispers "It doesn't change what they did." Elizabeth says " I am aware of who they are but they got our little girl back and their methods are extreme I admit but they have found out the truth about Franco and Ric. Speaking of Franco he is in the cells downstairs. If you want to confront him of course."
Jason follows Elizabeth to the cells and she requests that they be left alone. The men bow and honor her request. Hmm, that is interesting Jason thinks. " That bag over there is for you. It has a gun and a knife if that is your weapon of choice or if you choose to use your bare hands like I did with Ric." She says. " You killed Ric." He says in an astounded tone. " No I almost did but I didn't want to overexert myself and Vladimir handled it for me. That is Shiloh's given name no," she says. She uses a keycard and it opens the door and Franco is restrained on the bed. " He is all yours." She says. " No, I want you to stay. You wanted to share me to share my darkness. It is time we prove we can handle it." Jason says.
" Elizabeth, you are alive and you have our baby," Franco says. " You know it was my idea to make you think I was dead. I found out all sorts of naughty things about you. But you are not the father Jason is. He is the only father of my children. Even Cam calls him Dad now. So your legacy won't continue only mine and his will." She says. " You fucking bitch you slept with him. I knew Lucky was right about you." Franco says and Jason stabs him in the leg. " Watch your fucking mouth when you talk to her or the next thing I will do is cut off your tongue," Jason says. " I am so scared of you cousin." Franco mocks him. " You are not family so do not mention that again," Jason says as he punches him. "You cannot do this to me. I have people who will be looking for me." Franco said. Elizabeth taps her chin and says " Maybe just Scott but he cannot prove anything and you don't think we have a plan to handle him. It is perfect really. We frame Lucky for your death and well not even Luke can save him from where he is going. As far as Steven is concerned he wants nothing to do with you. He may not biologically be my brother anymore but he is still important to me and will remain in my life long after you are gone." She said.
Franco laughs and says " Oh delusional Lizzie. It was Steven's idea to fake Chloe's death. Once he found out Lucky couldn't have children he ran a DNA test and confirmed it wasn't Nikolas's baby. Once he found out it was Jason's baby he didn't want that influence in your life. There was never a nanny and Steven isn't in prison. He was the one raising your child while Ric was off and away. Of course, there is Drew and we set him up to take the fall in case the truth was discovered. So that guy in prison is someone taking his place who was paid to look like him. We feed him info so you wouldn't get suspicious. It was the perfect plan to frame Helena since she hates you and set the breadcrumbs and looks like Ric lied about going into his grave. Not a shocker there. You love liars don't you Lizzie? It is fitting given how much of a liar you are."
Jason stabs him in the stomach and he groans out painfully. " You are such a fucking moron and do not take direction well. What proof do you have of this bullshit?" Jason asks. Franco says " There is a flash drive inside of a painting that Ric has in a safe house in Martha's Vineyard and the house was left in his mother's name." Elizabeth goes over to him and says " If you are lying I will make sure this looks like a walk in the park." Jason says " We should get him medical care for now until we can prove if he is telling the truth." Elizabeth says " Agreed and looks like you are taking a trip to Martha's Vineyard."
