Jason tells Liz to run away with him to Sonny's island

''Elizabeth, this is your decision because this is your body. Do you want to tell Rick he is the father?''

She thought about it, ''I don't want to be afraid for my baby. The idea of Rick attempting to be a parent frightens me. If he knows the baby is his, he will go to any length to . . .''

Jason knew all too well how far Rick was willing to go to get what he wanted.

''Rick can never know.'' Elizabeth muttered to herself.

''He never has to know.'' Jason offered, ''We can make sure he never knows of the baby.''

Elizabeth is hesitant but curious, ''How?''

''We can fly to Sonny's Island. You can live there until the baby is born, and then, consider returning here.''

''But if I return, don't you think that Rick will wonder who the father of the baby is.''

''If he asks, you can say it is me.'' Jason offered.

Elizabeth smiled and allowed herself to be wrapped delicately in Jason's arms. She had made her decision.

But what neither knew was that someone else had heard the entire conversation.

______ cleared their throat.

What happens next?
