All that you left behind to save the world.

Jacob fumed but did not dare top incur his daughter’s wrath. Selmak tired to reason with him, knowing that most of all Jacob was scared for them. But they had their family around them, people who loved and supported them.

Jason watched her sleep the thing that was in her floating in a container at the end of the room. He stared at it for an hour then lay down next to her he couldn’t sleep; he was tired but he just couldn’t sleep.

A hand touched his face, she smiled.

-Feeling better?-

-Much, I knew you’d know.- She said.

-Really?-

-I told her she didn’t want to listen. Boy was she pissed when you Zatted her.- Liz’s voice raspy.

-Elizabeth.- Jason said in an exasperated whisper.

Then she ran her hands over the back of his head and pulled him down into a kiss. Jason sighed, and kissed her deeper, running his and over her side. He moved over her, she slid a leg up over his thigh. Some one cleared there throat, they both sighed and looked over. It was Sam and Jack giving Jason a dirty look.

-Hi pop.-

-Hey kid how you doing?- He said walking into the room.

-Well I’m just fine or at least I was.- She said arching a bow. Jason sat up and turned to them.

-I’ll be back.- He said to Elizabeth she nodded understanding.

Sam watched him leave.

-He’s is…-

-Isn’t he, I used to be awe of it. But now…- Liz said with a sigh.

-Now?-

-Now I’m older, not so naive and have been burned by him. Thus make the He is thing, a bit of an annoyance.-
-Elizabeth there are few men in the world with the He is Factor that isn’t fake. He’s one of them, and he wants you.- Sam told her.

-I know, and he wanted me before and look how well that worked out.-

Jack listens to the girl talk with interest. Sam was trying to convince his daughter to give Jason a chance, Liz was trying to find a reason not to. She was pissed about how she was treated, Jack could understand that. But Jason seemed sorry about his actions. Yet sometimes his baby girl could be pig headed and most of all protective. Of herself and her son, but considering CJ last reaction to her leaving maybe Liz was right now was not the time.

-Sam where is your engagement ring?-

-Your father asked me to marry him. – Subtle.

-Wow you finally did it. - She said looking at her father.

-Yeah I did good for me. Really.- He gave Sam a smile.

-So let’s go home shall we. Sonny is going to pop a nerve if he doesn’t get Jason home soon.-

For some un explained reason Thor was waiting for them. Liz and Sam quizzed her father but and even Thor was tight lipped about it. They where beamed to her house in Colorado.

-Let’s go.- Liz said.

-Where?- Jason asked.

-To get CJ.-

Liz knocked on the door of her next door neighbor. The women smiled and Liz went in Jason waited down stairs. She was carrying a little boy of five in blue Spider-Man pajamas and a bag in which he took.

-Thanks, he didn’t have one his episodes did he?- Liz asked the woman.

-No but he has been quiet, ate very little.-

-This is getting worse. I don’t know what to do except take some time off. Thanks Betty.-

-Your welcome Liz good night.-

Jason kept his hand at her back and opened the door to the house. He watched her climb the stairs and then looked around the house. It was Liz, comfortable and colorful, she came down.

-I thought you lost him.-

-I lied I don’t like to tell people about him to dangerous.-

-Xanders?-

-Yes, looked for him but after thing with Emily, he ended up on a slab in Canada. I buried him and told CJ about him. Every sense with me going away CJ has…-

-What Elizabeth?-

-He’s tossed three screaming fits ones that wouldn’t stop until he passed out or I came and got him. He doesn’t talk anymore around his friends.-

Jason frowned Michael did things like that to get attention.

-He’s lonely; around here every little boy has a daddy it’s Middle America where families are whole. If he was in New York he wouldn’t be so hurt by this.- Jason could hear the desperation in Liz’s voice.

-Maybe he needs to spend time with another guy.-

-That’s funny you saying guy.- She smiled.

-You know what I mean. Seems to me you both need a man in your life. Truth is I need you.-

Liz looked at him in shock.

-Jason I have my baby to think about.-

-Come to Port Charles with me.-

-What?-

-You have work there, this way I can spend time with CJ. I want to Elizabeth I need to.-

-He’s not a substitute for loses.-

-No but he needs me and I need him we need to heal Elizabeth. I always knew it would be you. You helped me once I’m asking you to do it again.-

This was twist.

-You?-

-Yes.-

-Truth is I never expect you to say how you needed anything. I thought you’d with the, what I needed argument.-

-Why lie.-

-Good point.- She sighed and looked up at CJ room.

-At least I’ll be close for CJ. We all need time Jason. Each one of us, I guess this is a good thing.-

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Every time a sweet innocent kiss he knew as Elizabeth turned into pent up passion, anger, need, love that was Liz. He pulled back and she sighed put her forehead to his.

-We have a lot of work to do.- She said.

-I know, I just.- Jason sighed.

-Want you in a manner that is not romance novel but pornographic.-

-Yes.- He hissed at her words.

-Time, we need time and to keep from touching each other.- she laughed softly.

-Hmm.- He hand ran around her back.

-Jason.- She warned.

He stepped away.

-Life’s to short for this shit Jason.-

-Yeah I know exactly what you mean.-
