A/N: I apologize for taking long to update, but as you all probably know, the holidays just completely take over your life. I would have updated earlier, but I didn't want to rush this chapter, because it's the final chapter. It's always a pleasure writing these chapters because we won't be getting Liason on screen. It's a damn shame because I believe Liason would have been GH's saving grace. The date I chose for this chapter is in accordance when Elizabeth told Jason he was Jake's father. I thought it was kinda ironic. Lyrics to 'You and Me' by Lifehouse, a perfect wedding song. There's a new Liason poll out, which will decide what story I write next after Secrets. Look for Tears of An Angel, a one shot, after Christmas! Look for Secrets, my next Liason story, in 2013! Enjoy!
DevilJolie: Thanks for the review!
Mommyzilla: Thanks for the review! I love how they always were honest with each other, and how they assured each other. It was truly a sight to watch, and it's disappointing we'll never see it again.

sashahailee: Thanks for the review! I think I've finally given up on wishing for Liason, but if by some miracle SBu comes back and Liason are endgame, I would be elated beyond words.

GeorgieGirl75: Thanks for the review! Lifehouse is my all-time favorite band, and I've had Almeria on repeat since it came out. I'm excited to start my next Liason story; I think everyone's going to love it.

Virgy15: Thanks for the review! That's the thing I loved/hated about last chapter. Loved it because it showed how happy Liason would have been as a family, hated it because it's never going to happen. The epilogue won't jump too far ahead, just two months.
Leens: Thanks for the review! I loved writing their journey to each other, even if they started out engaged and not in love.

Epilogue
Previously on You and Me…
He handed it to Elizabeth as he joined her on the couch. She gave him a puzzled look, for she had no clue what was inside the folder, but Jason just gave her a nod to open it.
Elizabeth pulled out the papers, and Jason watched her with the hint of a smile on his face as her mouth slowly opened in complete and utter shock.
"This-this…you…" Elizabeth couldn't even muster a complete and thoughtful sentence.
"Elizabeth, even though Cameron isn't my son biologically, I love him as my own. I would like to adopt him to make it formal, if that's okay with you," Jason asked with a hint of nervousness.
"I can't believe you would do this," she whispered, still in shock. "Yes, I would love for you to adopt Cameron," Elizabeth exclaimed as she claimed his lips.
A little while later, they were playing with each other's hands, enjoying the stolen moments together.
"What if this doesn't work," Elizabeth whispered. Jason looked up from her delicate fingers to see worry on her face.
"What if what doesn't work," he asked.
"What if we don't work out? Would it ruin our friendship and being parents to our children," Elizabeth asked as she turned to face her fiancée.
Jason takes a breath, knowing that Elizabeth was only saying this for the best of her children.
"Elizabeth, I love you and I think I always have since I saved you that night at Jake's seven years ago. You make me see things I have never seen with anyone else. You helped me in more ways than one when I spent that Christmas with you in your studio. There is no word what I feel for you. We'll never know if we don't try."
Elizabeth nodded her head as he pulled her back into his arms, her worries allayed by his calming and soothing words.
He was right. They'd never know till they try.
~February 19th, 2007~
Six months.
It had taken six months for his entire life to change. Six months since he made love to the love of his life on the night of the blackout.
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
Their lives had been through hell and back, and their love survived fights and other people, but Jason wouldn't have changed one moment.
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
And now, here they were, about to profess their love for each other in front of their families and friends.
Even though Elizabeth wasn't too happy about getting married while she was looking six months pregnant, she also couldn't wait another day to marry her soul mate.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
To both of their surprise, they were getting married at the Quartermaine mansion. Over the holidays, they had visited the Quartermaine's, where Cameron bonded with his grandparents and great-grandfather. He had Edward wrapped around his little finger, and unexpectedly, Edward didn't pressure Jason about bringing Cameron or his future son into the family business.
Alan and Monica had also taken to Cameron, for they no longer had children running around their mansion. They both spoiled them rotten, and it was Cameron that brought Jason closer to Alan.
They even went to a local baseball game together. And Jason even admitted to Elizabeth that he enjoyed his time spent with his father and his son. They still had a long ways to go to fix their relationship, but when Elizabeth and Cameron had entered his life, Jason knew that he wanted his children to know their grandparents.
No one was further shocked than Tracy herself in terms of spoiling Cameron. He learned quite a few tricks from his great aunt, and he even showed them off at home, receiving a soft scolding from his mother.
Whenever Alan and Monica watched Cameron, Cook would make him a big chocolate cake, and Emily would come over to help him eat it. Suffice to say, his grandparents spoiled him rotten.
It was Edward who suggested hosting their wedding at his mansion. Jason was leery at first, but he knew that Elizabeth loved Lila's rose garden. He reluctantly agreed, on one condition though. That no one would fight.
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
The days leading up to the wedding went smoothly. Jason had insisted that Elizabeth do minimal work because the stress and workload would be too much for her and the baby, so he had Emily plan their wedding.
Even though it was February, the weather was warm enough to have an outside wedding.
And so here was Jason, standing at the end of the makeshift aisle, with Sonny beside him as his best man.
He watched as Cameron walked down the aisle as the ring-bearer, earning many "Aww"s from the guests. Robin followed behind him in a pale blue strapless dress, with Emily right behind her as Elizabeth's maid of honor.
Jason smiled to Emily as she passed him. She could tell how nervous he looked, but also how excited. She had witnessed in person how much her brother loved her best friend. She had to admit, she was beyond shocked to learn that Jason had proposed to Elizabeth. But after a few months, Emily watched them fall in love. And she couldn't be happier for the two most important people in her life. Plus, she had her brother to thank for making her best friend her sister.
The music started as Elizabeth came around the corner of rose bushes and into view. The guests stood up and watched the ethereal bride walk down the aisle to her soul mate.
One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
In the front row on Jason's side were Alan and Monica. Behind them were Edward, Tracy, Skye, and Dillon. Carly sat in the third row with Michael and Morgan. In the front row on Elizabeth's side were Audrey and Steve. Behind them were Patrick, Kelly, Lainey, and Georgie.
Elizabeth felt like the few steps down the aisle took her forever, for she just wanted to run into the arms of the man she will be forever in love with, but she restrained herself with a grin in his direction.
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
He had heard of people using the expression of "taking my breath away", and he could apply it in this moment. Elizabeth was the picture of an angel, glowing and ethereal walking towards him. She literally took his breath away, and he had to struggle to not walk down the aisle and take her in his arms.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
Once she finally reached him, he took her hands in his and leaned in to compliment how she looked, sending a shiver down her spine.
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
There was not a dry eye in attendance as Jason and Elizabeth said their vows and professed their love to one another. The priest finally pronounced them husband and wife, and Jason kissed his pregnant wife.
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
The small reception was held inside, but Jason and Elizabeth didn't stay for long. After making sure Cameron was with Audrey for the night, Jason led Elizabeth out to Lila's rose garden. It was a cool night, but warm enough that it wasn't uncomfortable.
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
A song started playing, and he held out his hand to her, surprising her by the gesture. Jason Morgan never offered to dance, but he made this one exception.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
They danced well into the night, as they held their other halves in their arms. The song had long ended, but they slowly moved around, not wanting to let go of the moment.
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
They were unaware of the hours that passed, or the guests that had come out to congratulate them, only to watch in the couple in love dance with each other and silently walk away.
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
In the end, they had each slowly and surely fallen in love with their best friend and soul mate, and it was truly a happily ever after for Jason and Elizabeth Morgan.
~The End~
