Episode 2

After his meeting with Sonny, Jason tracked down Emily at the hospital. It had been a while since he last saw his sister and they had a lot to catch up on. Jason stepped off the elevator and his eyes met his wife's, who was supervising the nurse's station. He approached and a smile appeared across her face.

"Hi ... I didn't expect to see you today." Elizabeth said as Jason walked up to the desk.

"I was hoping to find Emily here, I heard she and Zander came home."

"Yeah, she's around here somewhere. Her and your parents were in the lounge talking for a while."

"Okay, I'll look around. I'm sure we'll run into each other."

Jason leaned over the desk and gave his wife a kiss before leaving her to go look for Emily. He didn't have to look for very long when he found Emily coming out of the doctor's lounge.

"Hey, Emily wait up ...." Jason called out as he approached her from behind.

Emily heard a familiar voice call her name and she spun around quickly to see Jason approaching. She missed him so much and was anxious to talk with him. She ran into his arms and almost knocked him over. "I missed you, Jason ..." she replied as she felt her brother's strong arms around her.

They parted and walked back into the doctor's lounge for some private time to talk.

"So what brings you back home?" Jason asked as Emily and he sat down at an empty table.

"Zander and I have some good news we wanted to share."

"You couldn't do that over the phone?" Jason asked curious as to the real reason she and Zander came back.

"We could, but this is something we wanted to do in person."

"So, what's the good news you brought with you?"

"Zander and I are going to have a baby ..."

Jason shocked with Emily's news, happy for her, but surprised to hear it, nonetheless.

"I'm happy for you Emily ..." Jason began.

"No you're not ..." she quickly remarked and Jason gave her a concerned look.

"Look, Zander and I have our differences and our history is not best friends, but I want you to be happy, Emily. I really do. You deserve to be happy and if it's with Zander ...."

Emily got up from her seat and went to hug her brother. As he held her in his arms, she felt just how much Jason loved her and how much he wanted things to go right for her.

"Have you told Alan and Monica, yet? I'm sure they will be thrilled."

"Yeah they were pretty happy about it, but they too have worries about me. Dad and Zander never did get along, and I'm sure Grandfather is going to blow a blood vessel knowing that a great grandchild of his, will have Zander as a father."

"But I'm sure Edward will be happy to know there is another child coming into the family that he can mold into his image." Jason finished her thought.

"Em, we need to talk about Zander." he continued.

Emily sat back down with Jason, curious as to what he wanted to talk about regarding her husband. She put two and two together when she noticed how Jason was acting.

"Jas, if you're going to ask about any cases he's working on, I don't have an answer for you." Emily replied.

"I know, and I don't want you in the middle of this, Em, but there is something just not right about what's been going on here recently."

"And what? You think Zander has something to do with it? Is that what you're saying, Jason?" Emily started to get defensive.

Jason stayed silent. His non response was enough for Emily.

"I can't believe you Jason!" Emily got up from her seat and distanced herself from her brother.

"Em, look, I can't tell you what's going on, and believe me I wish I could. But the more you know the more you will be in danger. I couldn't live with myself if something happened to you, you know that." Jason replied as he got up from his seat and went to her.

"Zander didn't have anything to do with whatever is going on, he's a cop, Jason! He left the mob life a long time ago..." her words drifted off and tears began to well in her eyes.

Jason noticed she was upset and tried to console her. "I'm sorry Em for upsetting you. That was not my intention. I hope you're right, because if Zander has played any part in what is going down, Em, I can't promise he won't get hurt."

Jason kissed her forehead and turned to leave. She called after him .... "Jase, be careful ..." Jason turned back around ... "It's not me you need to be worried about."
