The NOP happened and when Liz left the next morning she started procedures to end her marriage to Lucky. When she found out she was pregnant Liz told Jason he could be the father. Lucky found out Liz was pregnant from Emily and promised to get clean. Liz confessed that the baby might not be his and presented him with divorce papers. He signed them and is awaiting the paternity test. He is hoping that if the baby is his Liz will want to try again. Jason has requested that Elizabeth not open the test until she is with him. So there will be none of the Sonny knowing first crap. Jason also has not gotten back together with Sam. He is hoping that the baby is his. The DNA test was not performed at GH, we all know why.

For this story the Metro Court crisis was in early April not February. Also Mr. Craig never removed his mask and used a fake American accent.

Maxie and Georgie were not raised by Mac.

All other changes are revealed in the story.

Chapter 1 - Prologue

Elizabeth stepped off the elevator and memories of that night together four months ago flooded her brain. She didn't think she'd ever be able to come here again and not think of that. She looked down at the envelope in her hand. Inside were the results of the paternity tests she had done. Her whole world could change in a matter of minutes. Taking a deep breath she knocked on the door.

"Hi." He said smiling as he took her in. She was always beautiful but something about pregnancy gave her an extra glow. "Come in." He stepped back.

"Thanks." She walked in and the memories kept coming. Them making love on the couch, on the pool table, on the stairs she could just go on. Instead of speaking they just looked at one another for a moment enjoying that connection they shared. "I have the results."

"Before you open them I have something I'd like to say." Jason took her hand and led her to the couch. When they sat he didn't release her hand. "I want this baby. I don't care what the tests say, as far as I'm concerned this baby is mine."

She smiled even as the tears formed. This man was so incredible. "If the baby is Lucky's he has a right to know. But in my heart I want this baby to be ours." She told him. She squeezed his hand before handing him the envelope.

Jason looked at it for a moment before ripping it open and reading the results. The smile that came to his face let her know what he saw. Still he handed her the tests. One stating Lucky was not the father. The other stating Jason was. "Marry me." He said.

"Jason." God she wanted to scream yes. "A baby is not a reason to get married. We have a pretty dismal track record when it comes to trying to have a relationship with one another. I'm not even divorced yet." Hopefully soon. "And you and Sam still haven't figured out what you will do. I won't keep you from this baby I hope you know that. Marriage is too big of a step right now. If you want to try we need to move a little slower."

He would be lying if he said her turning him down didn't hurt, but she was right. Plus it wasn't just her. There was Cameron, and the new baby to think of. He wanted them to be a family and he was willing to be patient to have that happen. "We will get everything straightened out in our personal lives and then talk again. If people know that you are carrying my child you will become a target. So we need to figure some things out. Until we get everything set up it's best if we keep this quiet."

"Okay. What do we need to do?" Elizabeth would take whatever steps were necessary to protect her children.

"First you need to move, your apartment isn't safe enough. Will you let me buy you a house?" Jason would get her something that she would be comfortable in. He would make it safe for her and their children. Hopefully in the not too distant future they would all be living under one roof.

Her first instinct was to say no. Then she thought about it and understood that this would make Jason feel better. Knowing that they were safe when they were home. "Yes."

"Thank you. I'd also like to replace your car." When she nodded he squeezed her hand again.

"Kelly knows that you are a possible candidate for being the father. She's agreed to let me have evening appointments from here on out. If you can make them you are welcome to come." She wanted him to experience as much as possible. He had already missed the first four months and she didn't want him to miss anything else.

"I'd like that. Everything is good?" He asked her reaching his hand out and resting it on the swell of her stomach. That was his child, and the feeling was unlike anything he'd ever experienced. Sheer and pure joy.

She laughed. "Jason you just saw me yesterday. Yes everything is fine." She placed her hand over his. "What else should we do?"

"I'm going to update my will so that you and the kids are taken care of in case anything happens to me." Jason told her.

She didn't like to think of that, still she knew the realities of his job. He wanted them taken care of if it became necessary. "All right." She looked at the clock. "I will do the same. If something happens to me will you take Cameron too?" She trusted Jason with her son.

"You don't even have to ask." Jason told her. While he was talking to Diane he'd ask about the adoption laws in the state.

"Thank you. I have to go to work." She stood and so did he.

"You'll call me if you need anything, right?" Jason didn't want her to walk out the door.

"I will. Thank you Jason." She leaned up and gave him a soft kiss.

"Thank you." He said against her lips, letting his hands rest against his child. After she was gone he sat down to make a list of what needed to be done.

"Thanks for coming over." Jason said opening the door for the two men he had called.

"We work for you. You call, we come. That's how that goes." Johnny said with a smirk.

"What did you need Jason?" Francis said shoving his friend. Johnny never missed an opportunity to irritate Jason.

"Have a seat. I need some help." He had given this a lot of thought. The two men in front of him were the only people he had complete faith in. Aside from Elizabeth. Even Sonny and Carly would not be trusted with this. "It's personal."

Johnny could see Jason was serious. "What do you need?" A number of years back Jason had been ordered to kill the green eyed LT, by Sonny. Their boss had been suffering with undiagnosed bi-polar. Jason risked his own life by going against that order. Johnny would never forget that.

"I'm the father of Elizabeth's baby." Jason told them and watched as both men's jaws literally dropped in shock.

"So what happens now?" Francis asked his friend and boss.

"For now nothing." Jason told them. "We are keeping it quiet. She is not going to tell anyone other than her doctor and I am only telling you two." He didn't even have to tell them not to say a word. They both loved Elizabeth too.

"You are planning on marrying her?" Johnny just wanted to be clear. The two of them had a messed up history. Both of them had made bad choices. "And finally ending things with Sam?"

"Things with Sam are already over. She just won't accept it. If she becomes a problem or a threat then she will be dealt with." Jason told his friends. "I asked Elizabeth to marry me." He saw Francis wince. "Yeah."

"You should have waited until after she has the baby." The older man advised. He knew the petite brunette very well. She would see this as Jason trying to do the right thing.

"I will ask again. She is willing to try having a relationship, but wants to go slow." Jason told the two men.

"What do you need now?" Johnny knew a lot of change was coming. He also knew that not everyone was going to be happy about it.

"I made a list." Jason said handing them each a copy. "Let's get started."

"Hey." Lucky looked at his soon to be ex-wife. He'd been slowly coming off the drugs for almost a month. Instead of going through a program he was going cold turkey with Emily's and Nikolas's help. Mostly Emily. They were firmly in his corner. Neither one had spoken to Elizabeth since she filed for divorce. That wasn't completely true Emily and Elizabeth had several arguments in the past month. The last one resulting in Emily calling Cameron a bastard. All their lives were so out of control because Elizabeth over reacted.

"Lucky, did you need something?" Elizabeth asked him. She tried to keep contact with him to a minimum. Every time they talked it ended in an argument, the last one was about the fact that he hadn't once called Cam since they broke up. But he asked about the baby every single time.

"Are the results back?" The sooner the baby was proven his the sooner they could call off the divorce. He still didn't know who she had slept with, truthfully he thought she was lying about there being someone else. She was just trying to hurt him because he hurt her by sleeping with Maxie.

She almost said no, she was going to have him over to the apartment. While she wanted to keep her private life private telling Lucky while they were alone might not be the best move. "Piph, may I have fifteen minutes, please?"

Epiphany eyed Lucky. She knew a junkie when she saw one. Elizabeth leaving him was a good thing. "Over there where I can see you." She pointed to the lounge area. Addicts could get violent quickly and Lucky had been showing abusive tendencies before the split.

"Thank you." Elizabeth opened her purse and removed the sealed envelope. This one held only Lucky's results she didn't want him knowing Jason was the other man. They walked over and she gave him the envelope. Lucky tore it open and looked at the paper. When he looked back at her the anger was clear to see. "You slut."

"That's rich coming from you. How often were you fucking other women in my bed?" Liz shot back. She wasn't taking this crap from him. "I told you from the start that this baby might not be yours so don't act all surprised."

"How many times did you sleep around on me?" Lucky snarled at her.

"One night. And he managed to do what you couldn't in months of trying." They weren't trying she had made Lucky wear a condom something she was grateful for. Jason had worn condoms too, but they were defective.

"Well now you have two bastards, because I don't see the other man anywhere around. Guess he got his fill and moved on." Lucky wanted her to hurt like he was.

"This is pointless. Now that you have the results you can forget about me and Cameron." Elizabeth turned to walk away.

"I'm not finished." Lucky grabbed her arm spinning her around. She lost her balance and when she fell to the floor he didn't even try to help her.

The argument had drawn the attention of several of her coworkers. Carly also stepped off the elevator in time to see her cousin cause Elizabeth to fall. Robin, Carly, and Patrick rushed over. Robin and Carly helped Elizabeth up while Patrick stepped in front of Lucky. "You need to leave." The surgeon told him.

"The baby's yours isn't it?" Lucky had accused Patrick of sleeping with Elizabeth earlier in the summer.

"It's not his baby Lucky." Elizabeth yelled. "I'm just grateful it isn't yours."

"Carly, can you stay with Liz while I get a wheelchair?" Robin asked amazed that the blonde woman was even offering assistance.

"Sure." She turned to her cousin. "Go home, Lucky. You are making a fool of yourself."

"Mind your business. Do us all a favor and let her go. Maybe she'll lose that bastard she's carrying." Lucky shot back.

"That's enough." Patrick grabbed the other man and pulled him to the elevator. "Have security met us downstairs." He said to Epiphany who was already calling.

Elizabeth was stunned that Lucky would say something so hateful.

"You dodged a bullet there Muffin." Carly said to the brunette.

"Tell me about it. You can let go. Thank you for your help." Elizabeth and Carly didn't like each other, but since Jason hadn't shown an interest in Elizabeth in a while things had calmed. The nurse realized that if Carly found out who the father of her baby was that would change rapidly.

Carly was herself hoping to get pregnant soon and like Elizabeth had a history of miscarriages. While Liz was not her favorite person she didn't want to see an innocent child hurt. A fall could do just that. "Don't mention it. Here comes Robin. I have an appointment. I hope everything is okay."

"Thanks again." Liz said as she sat in the wheelchair and let Robin take her to an exam room.

"Everything looks good." Kelly said finishing the exam. "Go home, put your feet up, and take it easy. Any cramping or spotting call me." The doctor instructed. "Congratulations." She whispered before leaving.

"Thanks Kelly." Elizabeth got up from the table. She would go upstairs and get her things. Then pick up Cameron and go home. Stepping out of the exam room she met a pair of blue and a pair of green eyes. Both pissed.

"Hi guys." She knew that Robin had called them. Actually maybe it was Piph since Francis was her emergency contact now that Gram was being difficult.

"How are you?" Francis asked his friend.

"We are both fine." Elizabeth said knowing both men were extremely over protective. Now that she was pregnant it was only worse. "How much do you know?" She meant Lucky.

"All of it." Johnny said grinning meaning the secret. Francis grinned as well.

"I'm supposed to go home and put my feet up." May as well tell them the rest.

"Is Cam with Audrey?" Francis asked. He was not happy with how the older woman was treating her granddaughter. Audrey made it clear she did not approve of the divorce, or the fact that Lucky may not be the father of the baby.

"Yes." Elizabeth told him, knowing she wouldn't be driving home.

"We will swing by and pick him up and then you are both coming home with me." Francis told her. Not asked, but told.

"Shouldn't you check with your wife first." Elizabeth challenged. She loved the fact that Frannie was married.

"I did. You will rest and I will spend time with my godson." Francis said grinning. He loved Cam.

"I still think you rigged that coin toss." Johnny wasn't going to let that go. Liz couldn't decide between them so Francis flipped a coin.

"We can debate that later." Francis smirked. Yeah he had cheated. "Now let's get Liz off her feet."

Lucky watched his slut of an ex-wife leave with Corelli and O'Brien. He wondered if maybe one of them was her bastard's father. She spent enough time with both of them. Never mind how it looked. He was a cop and his wife hung out with criminals. He wanted to know who the other man was and she was going to tell him.

Knowing that conversation needed to wait for another day he turned and headed home. Walking into the small apartment he now lived in he closed the door and when he turned around collided with a fist. A volley of punches and kicks quickly followed. He felt ribs break and at least one tooth pop out. "This is the only warning you are going to get. You need to leave Port Charles. Write a note and say that you need some time away. Do not call anyone here and do not return. If you break either of those rules you'll be dead before the day is out."

An envelope hit the floor and the person was gone. Lucky managed to move to an upright position. In the parcel was an airplane ticket for a flight to Texas and a bundle of wrapped bills. He recognized that voice as belonging to Cody Paul, another of Jason's guys. He knew that Jason and Liz were friends. But if there was one person in the town he didn't have to worry about fucking Liz it was the enforcer. Why would he want Liz when he had Sam?

Lucky stood slowly and walked into his bedroom, he would pack a bag and follow the advice given. There was nothing left here for him anyway.

Outside in his truck Cody made a call. "It's done." He told his boss.

"Thank you." Jason responded and crossed an item off his list.

Thanks for the reviews!
