Liz had just finished putting her boys down for a nap and kept debating if she should call Jason. After seeing Cameron there on the operating table, she could not stand to think that her finally choosing happiness would mean sacrificing the safety of her boys. She needed to call Jason they needed to talk about what they were going to do. If only she knew what that was, had some sort of plan before talking to him.

Liz heard a knock on the door and there was Jason with tears in his eyes. "Come in" she said as she grabbed his arm and lead him into the house. "I was just staring at the phone trying to figure out when would be the best time to call you," she said as she shut the door behind him and followed him into her living room.

"Well we haven't talked since…"

"Jason I'm so sorry. I've been watching you since Michael was brought into to ER. It's like somebody's cutting your heart out right in front of me, and I can't even do anything to help you." She could see how hurt he was, if only she could help him somehow.

"You called and told me that Carly needed help."

"She was screaming at sonny, screaming with such rage and grief and all I could think of was I wouldn't want to live," at this point Elizabeth began to tear up. "If something like this had happened to Cameron or Jake, I don't think I could keep going. I would lose my mind."

"and I could never ask you to put yourself or your children where Carly and Michael are right now." It was easy to see how hurt Jason was. His heart was breaking even more trying to say this to her. "I could never do to you what I've done to them. You know I love you. I just don't see how we can do this."

Liz" I can't believe you are going to choose that life over me and the boys." She knew as soon as she saw him walk through that door that he was it for her. There would never be another person in her life that would be like Jason Morgan. She found the one her soul longed for, but now to make him understand that.

Jason: "I don't know what I would do Elizabeth if it were one of our boys in the hospital instead of Michael… you said it yourself you would rather die." WOW… one of our boys. How long had he thought of Cam as his son? He had remembered thinking it back when she told him that she was pregnant. It apparently had not ever gone away. He loved that little boy and only wanted to see him happy.

Elizabeth did not know what to say or do…. Jason had just said 'our boys.' Maybe there was hope yet that Jason did not want to turn her away. If only she could make him see that, she could not live without him. "Look me in the eyes and tell me that you don't love me Jason. Tell me you don't want to be a father to Cameron and to Jacob." She was begging with her eyes that he would not be able to do so. That he could not look at her and say that he didn't love them. Part of her was still unsure if he loved her alone or if it was in part because of Jake.

"Elizabeth… I" Jason could not do it. It was too hard. Why couldn't she see he was trying to protect her and the boys? He could feel the tears coming but was powerless to stop them. He leaned against the mantle over the fireplace. He watched as Liz took a step closer to him, then another, until she was just inside of his reach. Then there she was against him… holding him in a tight embrace. He held her back and knew he never wanted to let go. He felt her hands slip inside his jacket and remove it from his shoulders and placed it on the arm of the sofa. She turned back to face him and slowly he moved toward her waiting lips for a kiss…

He loved the taste of her and was immediately aware of his need for more. Just this last time, he told himself. He needed her one more time to say goodbye and to walk away from his family. He swept her off her feet and carried her to the bedroom. They had not stopped kissing since they started down in the living room.

"Maybe this is a mistake" he managed to utter in the breaths between kisses. At this, she took a step back from him. He was watching waiting for her to make the next move to say something. But before he knew what was happening she had grabbed her top and taken it off leaving her in just a white tank. He could easily tell there was no bra and also no way that he could back out now… he moved back toward her and took her into his arms and kissed as if this time would be the last time.
