"What am I supposed to do with a hundred pounds of chocolate." Liz groaned.

"Get really fat." Courtney grinned. "May I?" She asked gesturing to one of the boxes.

"Knock yourself out." Liz sighed.

"To bad Halloween is three months away, we could be the most popular house on the block." Zander quipped.

"How do I make him stop." Liz asked annoyed.

"Zander or Jason?" Steven asked amused.

"You all think this is funny?" Liz asked. "I thought you were on my side."

"Hey, I still think he's an ass, not as much as I did but, you have to give him points for style." Zander shrugged.

"You should tell Keesha, she'd put a stop to it." Courtney offered.

"Yeah and be the reason they don't get married, no thank you." Liz sighed. "I just have to hold out until next week, then he'll be married and he'll stop."

"What makes you so sure." Audrey began turning her head as the door bell rang.

"I'll get it." Liz said to escape the inquisition of her family. "Hello." She greeted opening the door. "Keesha?" She said stunned.

"You bitch." Keesha screeched slapping her.

"What the hell?" Liz demanded furiously.

"He called it off. He really called it off." Keesha said furiously.

"He..he didn't." Liz groaned.

"You must be so proud of yourself. God I'm such a fool." Keesha said tearfully.

"I didn't. I'll talk to him, I'll make him see how stupid this is." Liz promised.

"No, I can't do it anymore, I deserve better." Keesha said determinedly.

"Please, don't walk away." Liz begged. "I'll leave again, You'll never see or hear from me agin, we can fix this."

"No, because I'm tired of competing." Keesha replied. "I can't win, I knew I never would. I'm nobody's consolation prize."

"Keesha wait." Liz called as she stormed away.

"You'll never believe what Skye just told me." Zander said hanging up his phone.

"Liz?" Steven asked as she stepped back into the kitchen.

"I just got slapped, by Jason's fiancee, well I guess ex fiancee." Liz said still in shock. "He called off the wedding."

"I know, Skye just called." Zander replied.

"Where is he?" Liz demanded.

"The mansion, he was at least." Zander replied.

"What are you going to do?" Steven asked.

"Talk some sense into him." Liz said determinedly walking out the door. She pulled out her phone dialing the all to familiar number.

"Elizabeth?" Jason asked unsurely.

"Yeah, it's me." She sighed. "We need to talk."

"Yes, we do." Jason agreed.

"Meet me at our spot in ten minutes." Liz asked.

"I'll be there." He replied.

"Where's there spot?" Courtney asked as they watched her leave.

"I don't know." Zander began whipping out his phone. "Brenda, it's me, ...yeah, I heard..., where's their spot...Really...no there meeting there...yeah see you there." He finished hanging up. "The gazebo in Lila's rose garden." Zander informed them. "Brenda's on her way."

"Should we take the car." Steven began.

"Faster if we just make a run for it, cut across the Jones's yard." Zander cut him off.

"Your going to spy on them?" Audrey asked.

"Yes, wanna come?" Steven asked.

"Of course not." Audrey replied. "Though I do have to return that book I borrowed to Lila."

"I'll get the car." Steve grinned.

"See you guys there." Zander smirked as he and Steven raced out the back door.

"She'd not here yet." Skye said as they hurried into the back den peering out the window.

"Keesha slapped her." Zander said catching his breath.

"What!?" AJ asked stunned.

"She just stopped by our house." Steven explained. "Liz said she was going to talk some sense into him."

"What does that mean?" Skye demanded.

"Hell if I know." Zander shrugged.

"Is this a good thing?" AJ asked confused.

"Maybe, there she is." Steven exclaimed. "Damn I can't hear anything."

"I heard that." Skye said jumping at the clap of thunder.

"I wish I could read lips." Zander sighed.

"That would be useful." AJ nodded.

"He looks upset." Skye said studying the couple.

"Do you think she's telling him?" Steven asked.

"Oh god, she's trying to make him hate her." Zander realized.

"What? Why?" AJ demanded.

"So he'll marry Keesha." Steven replied.

"I'm so confused." Skye groaned. "Why would she want him to marry Keesha?"

"Don't ask me." Zander shrugged. "I know about 'it' and I don't get it."

"What's 'it'?" AJ demanded. "Come on we're friends again, tell us."

"It's Liz's business." Steven sighed. "Really I can't tell you."

"But that can't be why she's pushing him away?" Zander began. "Can it?"

"Someone just tell me what's going on?" Skye demanded.

"YOU WERE PREGNANT!" Jason's voice carried into the small room.

"Ok, you two talk." AJ said threateningly.

"She lost the Baby." Steven conceded.

"In Paris." Skye said realizing. "Oh god how horrible." She said tearing up.

"Jason wouldn't leave her over that." AJ insisted.

"What aren't you telling us?" Skye demanded.

"That's all I know." Zander said casting a glance at his nervous brother.

"We've all seen the way Jason is around kids." Steven sighed. "How much he wants them."

"Yes but..." AJ trailed off.

"I was feeling so sick, but I wanted to experience the city, not a hotel room, so I went out. I was in a café when the pain hit, god it hurt so much, I passed out, and when I woke up...I lost the baby, I'm so sorry Jason." Liz said turning away. unable to face him.

"It wasn't your fault." Jason insisted spinning her around.

"I didn't even think...I should have known, shouldn't I have?" She said sobbing. "I lost our baby."

"Why didn't you tell me?' Jason asked ignoring his own tears as he brushed hers away.

"It hurt to much." She admitted. "I lost our baby and Sam was...it was all like some sick joke."

"Elizabeth please look at me." Jason begged tilting her head up. "We both made mistakes. But fifteen years ago, right here in this very spot I kissed you and since then, since before that, since as long as I can remember there hasn't been anyone else that even came close to you in my heart. We've been through so much, we can get through this to, please just say you want to try."

"I can't let you do that." Liz said pulling away.

"It wasn't your fault." He insisted. "We can get through this together, please don't Leave me again."

"You just don't understand." She sobbed. "Please, you need to let me go."

"No, not again. I'm not just going to sit back and let you leave this time, I love you Elizabeth. I know a lots happened, but we're strong enough to get past it. We can survive this, we can have the life we always dreamed. All the things we wanted, they can all still happen. You just need to stay with me. We belong together." He insisted.

"You can still have all the things we wanted, just not with me." Elizabeth sobbed. "You need to go after Keesha, tell her you made a mistake. Our dreams died in Paris."

"Please, you need to forgive me, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you if you just give me a chance, please just one chance." He begged.

"It's not about forgiving you, or loving you Jason. I can't have that life we wanted, not anymore, but you can and I'd never forgive myself if I stopped you from doing it." She said whipping away her tears.

"I don't understand." Jason began confused.

"We had so many plans." She said unable to meet his gaze. "Everything was worked out, the perfect life. I wanted it so badly, I still do, but it's not going to happen. You need to accept that."

"No." He shook his head. "No, I wont give up on you. You gave this back to me, but it's yours." He said holding out the shimmering diamond. "Even if..even if You hadn't taken it with you, I could never have given it to another woman. I don't want to, you're the only woman I want. I want you to be Mrs Jason Morgan, my wife, my best friend, my everything."

"The mother of your children." She offered dryly.

"When your ready." He replied.

"I'll never be ready Jason." She sighed. "I'll never have your children, I can't. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Our dreams died in Paris. I lost our baby and any chance of ever having children."

"What are you talking about?" Jason asked stunned.

"I can't have children Jason, not your or anyone else's." She said calmly pulling her hand out of his grasp. "I love you Jason, I always have and I always will. And I forgive you for everything, even this." She said smiling sadly as she reached up brushing a soft kiss against his lips. "Good bye Jason." She said as she turned running across the wet lawn.

"Elizabeth Wait." Jason called grabbing her hand as she stepped out into the pouring rain.

"Stop chasing me Jason, please, just stop, it's over." She said leaving him in the rain.

"What do we do now?" Skye asked brushing away her tears as they watched Jason sit on the gazebo steps ignoring the pounding rain staring in the direction Liz walked off.

"I can't believe Jason let her leave like that." AJ sighed.

"She didn't give him much of a chance to stop her." Steven replied.

"Uh oh, I think he spotted us." Brenda sniffled as his gaze swept to the window.

"Maybe one of us should go talk to him." Steven began.

"No." Zander said never turning from his place at the bay window. "Even Jason can figure this one out on his own."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Skye asked confused.

"Go on, you can do it." Zander urged quietly as Jason moved his gaze from the surprise audience to Liz's retreating form.

As if he could hear him Jason stood with sudden clarity and ran skidding on the sopping wet long as he hurried to catch her.

"Thank god, Im getting sick of having to hit him." Zander grinned as they watched Jason tackle a shocked Elizabeth.

"No." Jason said as she turned to him confused.

"Huh?" She asked struggling to hear him over the pounding rain and wind.

"NO." Jason yelled. "I wont stop chasing you. I made the mistake of not going after you once, never again. This is yours." he said puling the ring out of his pocket. "I don't want it back, I wont take it back."

"What are you saying?" She asked pushing her wet bangs from her eyes.

"I love you Elizabeth Imogene Webber." He said taking her hand. "None of that stuff, none of it changes that, none of it changes how I feel about you, about us, what I want. Maybe we can't have our old dream, but we can make new ones, I don't care as long as we do it together."

"Jason I..." She said tearfully. "I love you too."

"Is that a yes?' he asked hopefully.

"Yes Jason, of course I'll marry you." She said as he captured her lips. "Jason are you sure, I mean, what about having kids, I know how important that is to you, to have a family of your own." She asked as they broke apart for air. "I don't want you to feel obligated to marry me."

"I don't I feel lucky to have you." He said brushing the wet hair from her face. "So we can't have children, biology doesn't make a family, love does. There's millions of children out there looking for a home."

"And let me guess, you want to adopt them all." She laughed.

"No" He grinned. "Just a few, three, five, twelve, whatever."

"Twelve children Jason!" She laughed. "I think you've finally lost it."

"I don't know, I think we have enough love for twelve kids." He replied as he helped her off the muddy ground.

"I think we've got more than enough." She grinned. "But twelve really? How about five?"

"How about sixteen." He countered.

"That's not how you negotiate Morgan." She said poking him playfully.

"It's how I negotiate, and don't forget I always get what I want." He smirked.

"Oh really?' She asked amused.

"I got you didn't I?" He replied.

"You always had me." She grinned as he kissed her.

The End
