* a year later *

Sly came home for lunch unexpectedly that day, just needing to see Cas, needing to hold her close. He was passed over for promotion again and it hurt.
As he walked in the door he stopped and smiled. His wife and daughter were standing at the kitchen counter doing what he suspected was cooking. "Ok Marya, now don't tell daddy that we're making him his favorite." Cas smiles.
Marya looked at Sly, "Too late mom he knows." She smiles and hugs her father. "Daddy mommy and I made you chicken prima- something."
"Primavera?" Sly smiles.
"Yep thats it. And I helped lots." She smiles at her dad."
"I'm sure you did Marya, thank you so much. How about you go wash up I want to talk to your mommy ok?" He smiles to her.
"OK." Marya runs upstairs.
Cas walks over to him, "Whats wrong Sly? Honey you look like the world is on your shoulders."
"Do you have any idea how much I love you right now?" Sly smiles. "I so needed to see you today, I needed you to support me and you just did. Cas I love you so much." Sly smiles.
"Sly honey of course I'm going to support you. Whats going on?" She holds him close, letting her strength transfer to him.
"Cas I was passed over again for promotion. There's no future in my job." He holds her tight, thanking his lucky stars that every since that argument a year ago about her lying to him she's been his rock.
"Sly - quit. Take the job Luke offered you. Get out of that place that doesn't appreciate you. So what if it doesn't pay quite as much - Sly we'll get by and I'll get a part time job. I want you happy baby, that place isn't making you happy."
"Are you sure?" He asks her, he's wanted to quit for so long but wanted to be able to provide for his family.
"Sly I'm finally secure in your love and anything else - we'll do it together." Cas kisses him and Sly calls his job and tells them he's not coming back. He calls Luke and Luke is thrilled that Sly will run Kelly's. He's needed a manager that knew something about managing. Sly looked at his wife and thanked the Lord for giving him such a love of a lifetime.

Lucky and Elizabeth and the boys have moved into thier own home in Port Charles. One of the rooms they converted for an office for Elizabeth - she now works entirely out of the house except when she has to be in court. After the first few days in Port Charles where she got to spend time with her men - she quickly realized what she was missing. Everytime Lucky walked by her he gave her a kiss or a hug, the boys loved her up as well. Hugging her and telling her how they liked that she was there. Justin asked her for help with his homework and Michael talked to her about a new girl in his class. She couldn't leave that - the feeling of family that she had longed for her whole life had been hers for years if only she would have stopped to enjoy it. Lucky was right - being married was more than a saying - it was something she felt now.
On the night of the anniversary of the third week they've been back in Port Charles Elizabeth looked at Lucky on the couch and said - "We need to talk- now." She said is as though she was mad about something. Lucky was confused he couldnt' figure out what she was mad about but got up and walked into thier room anyway. He removed his clothes down to his boxers and went to crawl in the bed on his back and she stopped him, "No Lucky- let me." Elizabeth says, crawling into bed in boxers and a tank top and laying down on her back.
"Are you sure sweetheart?" Lucky says still not getting on top of her.
"Yes Lucky - its time I give you my trust. Let me give you what you deserve. Let me give you a whole wife." Elizabeth smiles.
Lucky then slowly crawls into the bed and lays down on top of Elizabeth gently. Looking into her eyes to see the first sign of fear. Although none come - her eyes remain loving and open. No fear behind them, no twisting under him trying to get away..
Emotion takes over Lucky, all he can do is lay down completely, not holding his weight off of her and rests his head on the pillow next to her, crying. "Please Elizabeth, tell me you trust me, please tell me you are ok with this forever?" Lucky begs.
"Lucky this is forever. I love you and I'm not scared of you anymore. But I want more - I want to make love to you in this position."

By thier anniversary that year, Elizabeth had come full circle, she quit her job that day and went home. She decorated hers and Lucky's room to match what he had done to it on thier wedding night. The kids were at Grandpa's and she pulled her wedding dress out of the dry cleaning bag. Last week she had had it cleaned for just this reason. After putting the dress on and doing her hair. She met her husband at the door. Lucky could do nothing but take her in his arms and kiss her. When he carried her into thier bedroom, his heart filled with love. This time when he layed on top of her, Elizabeth didn't cry, this time she pulled him closer and made love to him, giving him not only her heart and soul, but also her body. The demons from her past were finally banished forever.
