Voyagers!

Chapter 5

Jason looked at Georgie then asked: "What is it?"

Showing him the notes from Maxie, she said "I know my sister, my guess is that in spite of everything that happened here, she knows more than she is telling. So, while the two of you take care of the bad guys, I am going to follow my sister."

Johnny agreed with her, something had always been off about the Russians, but he didn't know what it was. The two men hurried down to the docks and stayed close enough to catch the men fleeing the warehouse. Grabbing them, they took them back to one of the Zachara safe houses. An hour later, Jason was furious as they grabbed Sasha.

When the smug blond announced it was too late for him to stop the war, Jason shot her in the knee then asked: "What is your interest in my son?"

Johnny and he both saw the moment her eyes widened then Jason took a deep breath. "You don't know yet. Why did you grab Elizabeth Webber's son?"

"My oh my, keeping secrets, Mr. Morgan." she sneered only to be shot in the other knee. Cursing, she said, "I want a trade, freedom in exchange for what I know."

"Talk." he snapped out. "Now."

"We were after Spencer's kid, Not yours. He and that little tramp he is sleeping with are investigating us, I warned them, now they will suffer the consequences."

Sick to realize he had walked away from the danger that SPENCER AND SAM had brought, not him, Jason said: "No deal, what do you know?"

Sasha looked at the cold mobster in front of her and said after hesitating a bit. "Corinthos was shopping that there was a deep dark secret about you, offering it up in exchange for power. Since McCall did the same thing last summer, we figured it had to be good. I told my men to kill anyone with her, then bring the rat to me. We knew we couldn't touch Spencer, Helena Cassadine has made it clear for years that he belongs to her."

"Jason, where are they?" asked Johnny in a quiet aside.

Looking at his watch, Jason said "They shouldn't have left yet. I will go to the spot, you find out what our partner learned. And if you get a chance, take out Sonny."

"That could start a war." he pointed out.

"No, because I am done. No more of this crap. I am going to go to the perfect spot to deal with what created this mess. For now, we are spot fighting this unholy mess, quick ins and outs. Go!" he snarled then looked at the woman. "Freedom, coming up."

Jason tossed a match as he left the warehouse. Sasha Donev was dead.

Georgie meanwhile had followed Maxie to Sam McCall's penthouse, then slipped one of Spinelli's listening devices under the door. Getting what the two were talking about, she moaned and said "God, Maxie, what the hell are you thinking. Are you still so jealous of Elizabeth that knowing what this woman does when she wants something, you send her back after Morgan?"

Arriving at the cabin in the woods just before it turned dark, TT Jason saw Elizabeth and Sam arriving with the boys. Then swore when he saw the bitch cut the landlines and then let the air out of the tires. What was she doing? Listening to her call, Jason vowed that next time he saw the computer geek, he was shooting his balls off as he promised to send Stone Cold but ensure he was delayed long enough for the Goddess to scare the Maternal One away from what rightfully belongs to Fair Samantha.

As the Russians arrived, Jason took them out, one by one. Leaving the ground littered with dead bodies as he made sure his family was safe. When he saw Sam stick her head out, looking nervous, he knew that Sasha hadn't told him everything. Sam had one skill and one skill only, the stupid slut had a very good sense of self-preservation, she had more than likely made a deal with Sasha to protect herself from Jerry and deal with Jason's family all in one blow.

When the Jason of this world showed up, rushing in, he watched as Sam glared when Jason embraced Elizabeth then snapped "Where the hell is Lucky? Sam, where is your boyfriend?" Lucky had left the station from where Jason had been arrested long before the enforcer had been let go.

"Relax, Jason. I protected them, everything is fine." then saw him looking at his cell phone. When she saw him frown, she said: "There is no signal."

"Elizabeth staying here is a terrible idea," he announced. "The landline is down and without cell phone reception, you are sitting ducks. We have to leave. This was a bad idea, to begin with."

"But-" Jason reached out and took her hands. "Elizabeth, please trust me."

He saw the indecision in her eyes and just willed her to look at him, to see that he was truly worried about her and them. He had no idea where that dumb prick Spencer was, but he could see that she wasn't very thrilled with him either nor with being stuck with Sam, something he was going to take care of anyhow. He didn't want her left alone with a woman who couldn't shoot straight for protection.

"I will get the boys," she said after staring at him for a moment ignoring Sam's comments that Lucky would be there soon and how would he know where they were and did Elizabeth think he would be happy to learn they had left. Jason went out to the minivan and took the car seats and placed them in his truck. When Sam went climbing in, he snapped "Help Elizabeth."

"Jase, she is more than capable of handling them." she retorted. "You might need my help if the Russians show up."

The Jason in the shadows smirked when his other half looked at her and said: "I will go and help Elizabeth, you stand guard then."

When the man ignored her protests, Jason's eyes narrowed when he watched her walk to the van and pull something from the glove box. When she suddenly had the ability to use her phone, Jason got what it was. He could recall when Spinelli had shown it to him, telling him how he had created it.

Moving in, he saw her attempting to dial out and so badly wanted to knock her unconscious, but before he could, he heard the man inside snapping for Sam to return to the cabin. When she was gone, Jason took the small device she had left and was planning on snapping it but had to duck instead as Elizabeth and Jason carried the boys to the SUV with a furious Sam trailing behind.

The time travel Jason smirked when Sam tried to open the front doors of the black truck but couldn't get them unlocked. His other version checked on both boys called out to Elizabeth who was stowing their bags, tossing her the keys. "I need you to drive, in case there is trouble."

"But Jason, I can ride shotgun-" whined Sam as she tried to slip under his arm and get into the truck. "I am a better-"

"Sam, we need you to stay and tell Lucky what is going on. He is already on his way out here," said Jason trying to be reasonable. The time travel Jason smirked when Elizabeth called out to Sam, "Tell Lucky I said thank you but I think I have to put my trust in Jason about where to hide our boys."

TT Jason, stood there, smirking as the truck disappeared up the road then had a wicked idea. Turning the device back on, he stuck it in the cabin, watching as Sam furiously kicked the door while entering. When she started to rant, he just moved in. "Sasha sends her thanks."

Sam's head popped up looking relieved. "Jason, I knew you would need me, after all, Elizabeth can't-"

Looking at the brains splattered on the back wall, Jason said: "Now for your partner."

In Port Charles, Johnny was furiously stalking back and forth. "What the heck were you thinking?"

Looking at where Spinelli lay bleeding in the alley, he looked at Georgie then said: "Why did you kill him?"

Glaring at him, she said "It was either kill him or let him escape. Which makes more sense?"

Johnny called Jason then told him what was going on. "Fine, tell Georgie to bring his laptop when she comes."

At the empty studio, Jason looked at the Omni and said with a sigh of relief. "Greenlight. Georgie, I have a question." As he explained his idea, she sat down and accessed the files. Then asked a few questions about the new future Maxie was in. "Well, you're right but we would have to find out where Spinelli and Sam are first so they can be trapped. The ones still moving through time must be taken out."

"They are stuck in November 2005," Jason announced then saw Georgie's glare before she snapped that next time he might want to tell them that BEFOREHAND.

"Jason, that means we only have to deal with the major rips in time and space. The smaller ones will seal themselves. Taking the piece of paper with the lists on them, she said: "Here, here and I think this one here."

Jason nodded then said grimly "No, there is one on there, you missed. And even if it's one that doesn't need this whole closed, I need to go there. I need to be in that moment."

"Then you deal with Spinelli and Sam. And when we get back to 2010, I have a little talk with my sister," she stated grimly. "Jason, I know what Maxie is keeping from us. It's her culpability in part of this. There was a chance in 2008, after the fires before the kidnapping. Time started to straighten itself out, but Maxie and Spinelli decided to play matchmaker. My sister helped make a bigger tear in time by encouraging Sam to chase after you."

"Wait, what do you mean..." asked Johnny.

"See, Elizabeth and Jason, on their own started to repair the rip, if Maxie hadn't sent Elizabeth to your penthouse the day you rescued Sam from Jerry... Elizabeth wouldn't have been full of doubt the day that Jake was kidnapped."

Jason looked at the young woman and said "I get that would have prevented the hell we were living in after that, but Georgie, I have been traveling through time and honestly... I don't like seeing who I have become. This one, here, the one with the biggest rip in time... this is the one that needs to be fixed. The rest, including what your sister did, well they wouldn't have happened, even if Spinelli and Sam had shown up because I created this mess. See, right here, I lost Jason Morgan. That is where we are going to fix the rip permanently."

Meanwhile in PC2010

Maxie was amazed how every single day as she left the penthouse, Port Charles was becoming a nicer, a cleaner and more importantly a friendlier town. Today, she had been shocked to see that the Port Charles hotel was back. Yesterday she had been driving by her house and saw a family with teenagers carrying in groceries. She had been worried about Mac until she had driven by his old club and seen it was still up and running.

Chapter 6

During the quick ins and outs, Jason stopped Elizabeth from telling Lucky he could remain the boys' father the night after the ball. Emily hadn't died and when Sam had outed Jake's parentage in the barn, Jason had gotten another chance to tell Carly Jacks to stick it where the sun didn't shine. He was finding it almost cathartic to do so.

In the elevator by whispering in Jason's ear beforehand, Johnny had gotten them together. After leaving the ruined hotel and a confrontation with the people who supposedly 'loved' them, Jason and Elizabeth had left town, but not before Jason had once again ended up killing Lucky and Sam and letting the Corinthos family know exactly what he thought of them and their weaknesses. He had been pissed to learn that yet again, Carly had slept with Sonny.

But Georgie's personal favorite moment came when after Elizabeth fell asleep the night she spent with Jason, he had kidnapped Cameron and her along with that worlds Jason. The three of them had woken up in Ireland. When Johnny asked why he hadn't sent them to Italy, Jason had quietly said that it was this world's Jason who was to do that.

Meanwhile, they had returned to PC, where Jason had taken great pleasure in confronting Sam and Ric together then telling the woman that he believed Ric's version. Georgie and Johnny had been appalled to watch as Emily and Nik enabled Lucky as he confidently waited for Elizabeth to return. When it didn't happen and then Maxie announced she was pregnant on the same day he received divorce papers, they stood there and watched as he fled town.

The day that Jason in his world lost his memory, TT Jason had Georgie get Elizabeth from her preparations for the surrogacy. Within hours his memory had returned, Sam's ass was out the door and dead once again while Sonny and Carly were left gnashing their teeth along with Courtney who screamed at Lucky saying it was all his fault. Jax on the other hand emotionally supported Emily and they were soon married.

Jason took pleasure in the next memory as he watched his other self, hand, Sonny, a copy of the complete report on Sam McCall. When Jason confronted Sam about what it said, he let her cry her crocodile tears then announced she would be staying at his place. When he saw her small little smile, he announced that he had hired a nurse, an old friend of his to help out. That she and her small son were moving in.

A month later, Elizabeth and Jason were married as he overheard Carly and Courtney shrieking at Sonny about how could he allow that bitch to move in. That she was going to ruin everything. Jason had made that one look like a disgruntled fan of Courtney's had gotten to her and Carly while Sonny had committed 'suicide'.

Sam had fled after trying to tell Jax that Jason had falsified the DNA tests only for the blond to show her the ones he had secretly arranged. The con artist had given birth to a stillborn baby and since Alexis didn't have a daughter there had been no one for the child to save.

"Jason, why doesn't Alexis have Kristina?" asked Johnny looked at Georgie who suddenly laughed.

"What is it?"

"Read," she said turning the computer. Jason silently read what she had found on Spinelli's computer and asked why is it affecting these worlds?

"Because we are slowly closing the other realities, Jason it's working." she announced softly.

Jason had wanted to deal with one more small one, but with the news that things were straightening themselves out, he went for the big one, the one that had caused the most damage. As they arrived in Port Charles, he saw the men grabbing Elizabeth.

When he had gotten rid of Faith's husband and the would-be kidnappers, he carried an unconscious Elizabeth back to her studio then had Johnny go and find Jason at Jake's. He wasn't there but the young mobster had left a message with the owner, Jake. An hour later, the blond in question had barely dropped the bike before he had the TT Johnny against the wall.

"Who are you and what did you do to Elizabeth?" he spat out as he let up just enough for the man to talk.

"N-nothing, look, let me show you," he said then showed Jason the dead kidnappers. "I saw them carrying her out of the building over there. I know who she is. I saw her at that diner earlier today. Someone told me to stop looking that she is connected. Look, I am not local. I work for Guido Algarve in Italy. I was getting ready to leave town when I stopped down by the docks. I heard there is a man with Cubans, I wanted some to take as a gift to my next meeting."

Jason in that world thought quickly. The man who brought in the Cubans for Spencer had been scheduled for that night but had been delayed by weather, what the dark-haired man said could be true... and he hadn't harmed Elizabeth, he had, in fact, saved her...

"Fine, but next time you come to town, give us a warning," he said before racing up the stairs. Seeing Elizabeth asleep, he took her pulse and saw that it was racing too fast. He knew Doc was busy taking care of Johnny and Francis who had been hurt by Sonny's screw up the night before.

He was just about to give in and call for help when he heard what Elizabeth moaned, his face turning red, Jason let go of her hand like she was on fire and stepped back. By the time she was done dreaming, Jason had a hard on and was really wishing they weren't dealing with Sonny about to lose it yet again.

Meanwhile, the TT crew had gone and rescued Brenda, killing Luis far from Port Charles. Sending her to Detox from the drugs that she had been given, they watched from the shadows as her first call was to Jax. He had quickly ended things with Skye, breaking her heart but she was grateful that it had at least happened before the wedding.

"Why is the light still red?" asked Johnny.

Jason grimaced as they went back to Port Charles, just in time to see Jason give Elizabeth the warning that it was dangerous to be near him. Moving in close, they listened as Courtney consoled her fellow co-worker then Georgie watched later as Carly and Courtney schemed to take advantage of Sonny's latest dark spell to trap Jason.

TT Jason was not sure how to fix this one, they could show Jason it was all a setup, but this was the start of where he went overboard in that it is too dangerous to be around me phrase. Pacing back and forth, he tried to figure out a way short of facing himself with what his future would become, of how to fix this. Then he reached into his back pocket. Pulling out the picture he had looked at thousands upon thousands of time, he grinned the said "This should work. Johnny, you need to take this to Jason."

Johnny took the well-worn picture then asked "Elizabeth, the boys and who is the little girl?"

Reaching quickly to take it back, Jason saw the little girl about a year old than his two boys, flipped it and saw the names. "My daughter, Holly. Johnny, take this to him, if he needs proof, tell him... tell him that it doesn't rain in Uzbekistan if you carry an umbrella."

In a quick aside to a laughing Georgie, Johnny said: "If I am not back in twenty-four hours, get me out of Shadybrook please."

Johnny showed himself to Jason and when the man didn't believe him about his boss and his wife, he handed him the picture and said "This, this is what you are going to be throwing away if you don't get free of them. Holly, Cameron, and Jake. Named after the bar where you rescued his mother."

When the stubborn blond seemed like he was getting shaky. Johnny recited what Jason had told him. After a moment, Jason looked at him then said: "Okay, tell me what you heard again."

The TT crew had expected Jason to research what they had told him, but instead, he blew their plan out of the water, then was amused when that version of Jason sent the entire Corinthos family scrambling looking to escape his wrath when he found out that Carly had been involved in the kidnapping of Elizabeth.

TT Jason sat there listening as Carly then Courtney gave excuse after excuse when that Jason finally tracked them down, then was amazed as he let the blond have it, then before he told her that he could have brought Brenda back to town but hadn't for her sake but now all bets were off. The threesome disappeared and when Ric showed up later in the year, he was a bit flummoxed to find his brother no longer ran things.

"Greenlight," Georgie announced as Jason from that world apologized then explained about how Sonny had been acting and how he had been worried that the man he had once considered a friend and father figure had been reacting to Elizabeth. "But why?" she asked. Getting the answer, she said shaking her head.

"I have never done anything to either of them."

When they hit the button to take them to the next tear they were transported to Port Charles in 2010.

"Wait, this isn't where we are supposed to be," replied Jason as he looked around in amusement. "What happened?"

Maxie looked up wearily and announced. "I have no idea, I went to sleep last night on the purple sofa and woke up this morning with my cheek sticking to the leather."

Georgie glared at her sister and then said to Jason "We don't have time. Look, Sam and Spinelli's world is getting smaller and smaller, they don't have that many more versions of November 2005 to travel to."

"WAIT!" called out Maxie as they got ready to leave. When they looked at her she said "I just... there is one more thing. Here."

Johnny took the small book with the articles taped to it. "What is this?"

"What has been happening in the real timeline. Jason didn't become Jason Morgan thanks to the back injury instead of the head injury but everything else seems to be playing out according to what Spinelli has on his computer. When you return, the world will have changed, your worlds will have changed and I don't think I will here."

Hitting the button, they landed in one of the two spots that the gruesome twosome could end up. Looking at the furniture, Jason smirked at seeing his leather sofa and pool table. "Should we wait for them?"

Just as he asked there was a whining sound.

Chapter 7

Hearing the whining, Jason and Johnny pulled out their guns while Georgie moved out of the way. As they saw the two shapes morphing into Sam and Spinelli, Jason looked at Johnny and reminded him to shoot then grab for the device.

The bodies became solids as they faced the fireplace. Jason heard Spinelli tell Sam, "See, I told you we would find the right spot."

Before they even started to sit, Jason shot Sam and Johnny shot Spinelli while Georgie grabbed for the Omni, ripping it out of the geek's hands. "JASON!" they both shouted while Georgie hit the buttons on the machine. "All green, they are all green."

"Fair Georgie, you are alive!" announced Spinelli as he reached out for her with his hand covered in blood for the small handheld machine. "That is mine, I must have it back."

Lifting it over his head, she pushed at the wounded geek then sneered. "I know that you must have it back, otherwise your obsessed, pathetic needy ass can't ruin anyone's life. I am wondering about one thing, are you still obsessed with my sister or are you ready to admit your homosexual urges in regards to your master."

Sam didn't say a word, she looked at the bronze device then at Johnny Zachara where he shouldn't be then at Jason who was glaring at her and just sat down looking at the bullet wound in her leg with a smirk. "See, I knew you couldn't kill me, you still love me."

"I didn't kill you because I want answers and you two are going to give them to me, otherwise you; Mr. Jackal are going to learn the real reason I am Stone Cold. Let's start with when did the two of your meet."

"You introduced us, master." said the geek with a grin. "But then, I found out the truth, that you were meant to be with us, master and student, goddess and her god."

Jason looked at the small man then shot him in the leg. "The truth... we both know that you two messed with my life, my family."

Georgie watched as Spinelli's brow furrowed then said "We took out the other Spinelli, the other Sam. And sweetie..." she sneered moving in close to Sam. "I have watched him kill you at least six times now and frankly none of us objected to it. Jason, in fact, LOVED doing it."

When Sam huffed and puffed then pushed out her chest, Georgie looked at the blood flowing down her legs and then at the woman and said with a laugh. "Now, how about we tell you a story. Holly, Cameron, Jake. Elizabeth and Jason married while she turned 21 after a romantic courtship involving a trip to Italy while she went to art school, ringing any bells?"

"That wasn't real." she shrieked as she gave Jason a wounded look. "You must believe me, I didn't do this, Elizabeth started this. She stole you from me, I love you, I am the only woman who truly loves you."

"Too bad." he snapped. "I love another. You might recall her, Elizabeth, beautiful soft skin, sapphire blue eyes that you can see her soul in with the incredibly hot body. The mother of my children, the only woman I ever wanted to have them with."

As Sam flipped out, screaming that he was lying, Johnny, watched Spinelli and saw him reaching out for the Omni in Georgie's hand. Not stopping to think, he shot the hand, then snapped. "Let' get this done."

"You're right. Neither one of them are capable of telling the truth," said Jason. "Spinelli, you insinuated yourself in my life, for what? What is the attraction?"

"I know." murmured Georgie with a grin. "He is a closet homosexual just with very bad taste in clothes and gal pals."

Snorting, Johnny looked at the look of disgust on Morgan's face and said slightly apologetically "She does have a point."

Glaring at the mobster he looked at the geek and said "This, this is the end of it. We are done and I really don't give a crap as to why you turned up, only that I can get rid of you for good this time."

Sam took a sigh of relief when Spinelli was shot then said "Jason, thank you for rescuing me, you have no idea the things he..." she looked down at the latest bullet wound then up at the man standing in front of her. "But Jassssinnnnn!"

"Enough," said Johnny as he went to shoot her. Jason stopped him, making Sam think everything would be fine.

"No, I want her to die knowing it was me that killed her. I have no other way of making her suffer for what she did to me, to Elizabeth. To my family." said Jason as he shot her in the gut then stepped back.

Sam looked up at him, then said "You betrayed me, you have killed me. But why? All I ever wanted to do is love you."

"All I want to do is forget I ever heard your name. Sam, here," he said tossing her the book that Maxie had put together. "Something to keep you company as you die."

Walking over, he saw her opening it, then heard her screams as he lifted his gun then put a bullet through her forehead. When she fell back, he walked over and took her pulse. "She is dead, finally."

"Jason, how are we going to know what is going on?" asked Georgie quietly.

With a smile, he said "While listening to you earlier, I had an idea. We are going to know the past the moment we arrive. We don't need cheat sheets and I actually would prefer to feel what happens in my life, not read about it in some scrapbook."

"What do we do with these?" asked Johnny holding out the two bronze devices.

"When we get back to 2010, we destroy them," Jason replied then asked Georgie if she was okay with that. "No matter what happens, I think we need to put an end to this before we make things worse."

The threesome looked over at the dead bodies then around the now emptying penthouse then at each other. "I think we did it."

"Let's go home," said Jason as he hit the button taking them all to where they belonged. Maxie was right about one thing, she wasn't where they each landed. Jason woke up in bed with his wife, reaching out, he pulled Elizabeth into his arms softly saying I love you.

Johnny and Georgie ended up together in a large fairly plain bedroom with what was clearly their stuff mingled together. "Oh boy," they said looking at one another then the bed.

"I don't know about you but I am too tired to figure this out tonight," he said as he grabbed a pair of his sweats and went to change. Georgie did the same then went climbing into bed. Looking around, she saw her old clock on the nightstand then reached out for it just as Johnny returned. Fifteen minutes later, they were both asleep.

Jason dreamed that night... of learning to walk again. Of a young woman who got under his skin, teasing and tormenting him until he fought for himself. When he moved back to the mansion, she was always around. As his sister's friend and as his... well it was clear he couldn't define it yet.

A year to the day that he walked, he could define it. He found himself seeing red as Elizabeth left to attend a dance with a boy from school. That became even more defined when she called Emily from the public payphone at the school to tell her she had been dumped when the loser's ex-girlfriend decided she wanted him back.

He had insisted on driving Emily to go and get Elizabeth, his mind trying to make him face what he already knew. That he had feelings for his sister's friend. Making her promise to be careful, he spent a year in New York working at ELQ's offices there while he tried to figure out what to do about things. He dated, he slept with other girls when the need got to be too much, but none were able to touch his heart let alone his soul.

Coming home, he watched and waited, then when she was in her freshman year of college and about to turn eighteen, he had a long talk with Jeff Webber. The doctor and his wife Maria sat down with him and for three hours worked out what would be and wouldn't be acceptable behavior regarding the 25-year-old and the almost 18-year-old.

Elizabeth had blushed blood red when Jason asked her out to dinner then when she asked if Emily was coming, gently explained that he meant as a date. They had spent the evening trying to figure everything out, resulting in one of the worst dates in either of their admittedly short dating careers.

It wasn't until the next day when Jason accidentally picked up the phone during a call between Emily and a crying Elizabeth that he figured it out and quickly hung up. Calling over to the Webber house later, he had a quick discussion with Maria who was taking Johnny out to a movie while Jeff worked the night shift at the hospital, Jason begged Elizabeth to let him come over so that they could talk.

After a completely honest and embarrassing conversation, Jason gave Elizabeth a quick kiss goodnight before going home to where his grandmother was waiting up.

"Did it work?" she asked with a soft smile as she wheeled herself into the room

"Yes, you were right," he said then laughed joyously as he sat down with a wide grin. "How did you know?"

"Jason, you were wearing a suit, she was dressed very prettily but frankly neither one of you were acting like yourself, more like who you thought you should be. But you fell in love with the girl who wears jeans, loves riding that deathtrap you call a motorcycle and would rather eat at Kelly's than the PC Grille."

Two months later, on Christmas Eve, things got a little carried away, but Jason pulled back at the last moment explaining that she was ruining his plans for the night. After they along with their family had spent the afternoon at GH, he had taken her for a ride to a field of uncut pine trees and said: "I know this is rather sudden, but will you marry me?"

Elizabeth whispered Yes. Then a little strong confirmed that yes before saying. "Jason, what do you mean by quick? I decided I wanted to marry you five years ago when I pretended to be your doctor at the very advanced age of thirteen and a half."

After a year-long engagement in which she lost her virginity to him while in Italy attending the Paleo, Jason and Elizabeth were wed on Christmas Eve. That night, Elizabeth listened as Jason told her his strange dream the year before. "I just knew that if I didn't ask you, that night... that something or someone would try to come between us." he said, "For some reason, way back when we first meet, I knew that that was the day... the day I would..."

Elizabeth kissed him, then said "I know what you mean. Same thing with August 27, I knew... I just was so positive that in spite of you wanting to wait, that we were meant to be together for the first time that night."

As the years past, some things remained the same, Lila died but the Quartermaine family wasn't fractured at that time. All were in attendance, including AJ was his new wife Courtney Matthews. Their marriage didn't last long but it had nothing to do with Jason and everything to do with the way Carly Spencer showed up with her son and claimed he belonged to AJ.

Soon both blonds were gone, Michael whose name was now Alexander ended up with his biological father Tony Jones who had moved to Tennessee. Carly and Courtney fled town together the younger blond accepting his settlement to end their marriage gracefully when she realized that Jason and his wife along with their children were going to the be family's heirs.

As Holly was born Christmas Eve 2003, Johnny and a classmate of his, Georgie was being assigned study partners after Lulu Spencer who had returned to town with her family that had fled years before and Dillon Quartermaine growled. Both liked the others but were told by their teacher that they were being partnered by grades, meaning that Johnny Z and Georgie Scorpio as tops in the class were paired.

Over the next four years, the two competed for everything, grades, scholarships and class presidencies. In the end, they both went to the same college, secretly dating because if anyone knew that the class nerd and the class bad boy liked each other...

When Cameron was born, Jason had another feeling of Deja vous and soon convinced Elizabeth that they should travel for a few years. AJ had stepped in as head of ELQ then fell for the con of a woman that Mac had the unfortunate task of arresting during their engagement party.

When she had tried to claim Alexis Davis as her mother, the single never married attorney had denied ever having a child as a teenager and when the blood tests didn't match... Sam had tried to escape going to prison only to be killed by Detective Taggert.

Mac had resigned from the force after that, reopening his private investigation company, and putting in a sideline as a bounty hunter. He was soon quite comfortable and had women chasing after him. Too bad his heart still belonged to the mother of his two adopted daughters. But for how long...

Audrey had moved to Arizona but made frequent trips to visit her grandchildren in Port Charles. Her stepson Jeff had married Maria, but they hadn't been able to have children of their own. So Johnny had gained an older sister in Elizabeth, one that came in handy when his half-sister Claudia turned up dead in Italy.

Sarah had moved in with her Uncle Rick and Aunt Ginny years before and Steven Lars came to town, married to another doctor named Lisa Niles.

Scott Baldwin had slithered in and out of town, bringing with him a son, Logan who had fallen for Lulu, the daughter of his old rival Luke and his beloved Laura while his daughter had married cop Jagger Cates, much to Jason's embarrassment when Brenda turned up and informed Elizabeth about his past crush on the young doctor during his teen years. Logan left town hurt when Lulu promptly cheated on him with a young Aussie named Ethan Lovett.

Patrick Drake showed up in town with his father while visiting an old pal Jeff Webber. Meeting young know it all Robin Scorpio, he fell fast and hard moving to town and marrying her before she had time to think about it. They had two kids, a little boy named Robert and a daughter named Emma.

AJ finally found love in with a young doctor he met while visiting his sister in the hospital. Kelly Lee had been shocked when the man had merely told her that he understood addictions after she had admitted being addicted to sex.

Emily who had given birth to a little girl had never informed her family that she had met an arrogant young doctor while doing a tour in Boston. But when Matt showed up looking for her, instead he soon found a family in both his new wife and daughter as well as his father and brother.

Mac had dated a long list of women, from bitter Alexis Davis to conniving Claire Walsh, nursing head Annie Logan, but found love with a woman who kept him on his toes.

The Spencer clan had returned for a few years, but Lucky was the unluckiest man in the universe. He had no luck with love and his parents... well Luke and Laura were never really that. They spent their later years up and leaving the kids until they disappeared one day in the Bermuda Triangle. Lucky convinced his sister and his loathed half-brother Nik to help him search, instead, they soon joined the list of the missing.

Johnny and Georgie soon got over the shock of their entwined dreams the night they returned and were happy together once they opened up and admitted to others that they were in love. Georgie having a very bad feeling of deja vous one day in Kelly's when her sister lectured her about giving him a hard time. The twosome eyes locked then she looked at her sister before announcing that they were getting married and that she was pregnant.

When Georgie's first romance novel entitled Liason went number one on the New York Times bestseller list, a reporter asked her where she came up with such an angst-filled love story, she gave a smile and said: "It was strictly in my dreams."

She never did figure out where all of that came from, but she just found that she had to get it out, had to write it down. Johnny had encouraged her, then shocked her by telling her before he even read the ending how the last chapter would go.

Carly was never heard from again, her son Michael went looking when he turned eighteen and found her still with Courtney as they fleeced men in Vegas. He hurried home and went to med school, glad he had escaped the nightmare of her.

Jason, woke up the morning after killing Sam and Spinelli with no memory of either of them. Instead, he found himself reliving memories of his now wonderful life with Elizabeth and their children. Hearing the sound of soft giggles, he looked at the clock then at a still sleeping Elizabeth.

Kissing her gently, he went out to the hall and then quietly padded down the stairs. He stopped out of sight, listening as Holly explained to Cameron and Jake the importance of hot cocoa to breakfast then suggested they make breakfast for their parents in bed.

"But Holly, I don't think it is going to work." said the practically Cameron as he stood next to the refrigerator. "Mom is still going to be mad at you. You know that she is able to deal with Aunt Sarah."

"I know, but I know that if I get dad on our side, we will be home free. "Sides, how was I to know that Aunt Sarah was going to come around the corner at that precise moment."

Snorting, Cam said "Because you set her up. Mom isn't stupid, you know."

"What do you know, your only six." she retorted then said with a giggle. "Did you see her face when I spilled the green paint of her. I mean, it was so funny."

"She is such a witch," said Cam then reluctantly giggled himself. "But did you have to ruin the bike ride idea for all of us. I mean, she left town after telling Mommy we were spoiled brats."

Jason felt soft arms encircle his waist and felt the gentle kiss pressed to his bare shoulder blade. "So dad, should we let them go, just this one time."

Turning, he didn't let her arms go from where they were, kissing Elizabeth, he felt the tears falling and got the sense that once again, they had made it past something that could hurt them.

Looking up, Elizabeth saw his face and pulled him down into a kiss. Breathless as it ended, she felt his heart beating erratically and said: "It happened again, didn't it?"

"Yes, but I get the feeling that today, today is the day I have to stop being so vigilant. Today, we can let our guard down a little, but only a little," he said kissing her softly again. Seeing her confusion, he said with a soft smile. "I am not relaxing completely because I never ever want to take what we have for granted, I never want you to feel like you are anything less than my first, my last and my always."

Elizabeth looked up into the blue eyes that had filled her dreams since childhood and that had won her heart at the very tender age of thirteen and said: "I love you, and you are also my first last and always, too."

As they started to kiss again, Jake who was leaving the kitchen, started to make comment on how gross it was, but Cam stopped him saying. "I don't know why, but right now... right now I know that this means forever."

THE END
