"Jason, my boy." Edward bustled into the foyer with enthusiasm "What brings you here?"

Jason looked around cautiously. He had no right to be there. He knew if Monica saw him, she would not be pleased. He had taken so much from her and Edward. He had no right to ask for more. He turned to look into his grandfather's pale blue eyes and shyly said, "I need a favor."

"Lulu, are you sure you are going to be ok here alone?" Liz asked as she came down the stairs.

"Sure." Lulu sat on the couch. Liz could hear the sadness in her voice. "How hard can it be to watch two sleeping boys?"

"Well, Cam can have his moments. Just because they fall asleep doesn't mean that they stay asleep." As badly as Liz wanted to leave, she couldn't walk out as Lulu sat there looking deflated. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Lulu sighed and slumped further into the couch. "I'm sure you don't want to hear about how I used Logan to try and forget Johnny. I hurt Logan badly, but I couldn't deny my feelings for Johnny only to realize that I don't fit in Johnny's world." She ran her fingers through her hair. "Everything is just so tangled and messy. I don't expect you to understand."

"Really?!" Liz asked, chuckling softly.

Lulu glanced at Liz and realized that they had a lot in common. "When I found out about Jason being Jake's father, I had a real hard time understanding how you can make a decision to live a lie, and now look at the mess that I'm in. It hurts being in love with someone who is not good for you. How do you love Jason when you know how dangerous his life is?"

"I trust him. I know he would never willingly place me in harm's way. We spend whatever time we have loving each other, sharing our lives and planning for our future. Jason is a very different person than the image he portrays in public." Liz paused and smiled at the thought of him "The private Jason, my Jason, is the Jason that I love. I made a choice. I could pretend I don't love him and fake a life or I can love him and build a life. It will not be the normal life, but it will be a life with the man I love."

As Liz slipped into her red jacket, Lulu could see that she glowed with the love she had for Jason. She wished that she had Liz's courage to love despite the danger.

"I know what you're thinking," Liz grabbed her purse and opened the door "but do me a favor. Give yourself some time to think about things. It took me over 8 years to finally make my choice."

Edward sat on the couch sipping a warm glass of brandy. It was a cold night, but the fire crackling in the fireplace warmed his legs, the brandy warmed his blood and Jason's visit warmed his heart.

"Edward?" Monica asked, "Is everything ok?"

Edward surprised her with a huge grin, his eyes twinkling with delight. "Everything is just fine and getting better everyday." He took a sip of the brandy. "Monica, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure Edward, anything."

"Bring me Alan's will."
