Evangeline Williamson is hired to help Jason get custody of Cam after Liz is involved in a horrible accident. Will they eventually help each other heal from their broken hearts? AH

Updated 4/25/18

A/N – Okay, here is the new Evason fic. I'll be updating it hopefully once a week. It's more of a crossover than the last one. The timeline is roughly when they were seeing each other in secret. Jason did not get back with Sam after she went crazy and did all the Jake stuff. This is AH. Natalie will not be really focused on but mentioned here and there. If you're a Lucky fan, be forewarned. He is a villain in this one. Sorry Liz fans, it was necessary for storyline purposes.

Chapter 1 - Introductions

Evangeline Williamson stood nervously outside of the modest looking home of her new client. She had noticed the guards at the gate and a few milling around the property. It is probably status quo for an ex-mob enforcer. He had just moved in over the last few weeks and is trying to get settled so that he can have a fresh start in Llanview, Pennsylvania.

She had only dealt with him over the phone, but she had seen pictures of the handsome, reclusive man. They are about to enter into one of the most high profile court cases in the area which is taking place in Port Charles, New York the next week.

Just as she was about to knock, the door swung open and a smiling Johnny O'Brien greeted her.

"Come in, Ms. Williamson. We are expecting you." She smiled and then shyly moved inside. She is stunning and Johnny can't help taking her all in. He walked around her to lead the way. "Follow me."

"Are you the butler?"

Johnny laughed. "No. I'm head of his security. You never can be too careful."

"Understood. You never can trust the blood sucking lawyers."

He grinned. "I'm glad you understand, because you'll have a guard for the duration of this trial."

Evangeline is surprised, but she is getting paid very well and figures it is par for the course. She hears laughter coming from the room they are approaching, and once inside the den, she watches Jason lifting a four and a half year old Jake above his head. She smiled as Jason looked her way, taking her in with a lingering glance he decides that her picture did not do her justice.

"Jake, we have company."

He put Jake down and sat up.

Jake approached her with a smile. "Hi. I'm Jake."

"I'm Evangeline."

When he butchered her name, she chuckled. "How about you call me Eva?"

Jake smiled, nodded, and then ran off.

Jason got up and brushed back his slightly long hair. "It's nice to finally meet you in person," he said holding out his hand which she shook.

"Likewise."

"Let's go to my office."

She nodded and followed him out of the room. They walked through the living room and down a hallway and then Jason opened the door and they went inside.

Evangeline sat and crossed her legs. "Let's get right down to business. Lucky is going to come out swinging. He will bring up your past as an enforcer, your jail time due to Michael, and your relationship with Elizabeth will be on full display."

"I know." He hates that it will have to be exposed in this way, but he isn't ashamed that he loves her and the boys.

"You say that, but Jason I need you to be open about it. You can't appear hard. The man I just saw in that room with a smile on his face and a look of love in his eyes is the man that I need to show up in court."

That will be hard for him. To most of the public, he is a ruthless mobster or thug. His public face never revealed his emotions because none of the judgmental shrews in the town deserved to know him intimately. The last six months had been torture. Elizabeth had been struck and killed by a hit and run driver while crossing the street at the hospital. They couldn't save her and he had been devastated. They had been keeping their relationship a secret for a year. He had spent a lot of time with her and the kids and Jake was aware that Jason is his father. Deciding that he had enough of the violence, Jason had been making plans to leave the business so that they could be together far away from the judgmental pariahs in the town. He had even gone as far as to sever ties with Carly. His secret family was his world and he thought of Cam as his own son, but after Elizabeth died, the court split Jake and Cam up. Jason tried to get custody of Cameron, but the judge basically said Lucky had more rights since he had been acting as Cam's father all along. He isn't even sure if Lucky really wants Cam. There is no proof otherwise, so he's convinced that the man-child just wants to stick it to him.

"I will try."

It is hard to miss the look of devastation in Jason's eyes. It practically comes out of his pores. "I will do everything I can to reunite the boys." It would have been so much easier if Elizabeth had left a will, but she didn't. A lot of people just don't think they will die at such a young age and that they'll have plenty of time left to handle such things.

"Did anyone see you and Elizabeth together in secret?"

"Epiphany. She's the head nurse at General Hospital and used to babysit for us."

"You think she'll take the stand on your behalf?"

"I know she will. She hates Lucky and knows that Elizabeth wouldn't want this."

"I'll give her a call and put her on our witness list."

Jason wrote down a number and handed it to her. His cell phone rang and he glanced at it. "I have to take this."

She nodded and he stepped out onto the balcony and then grinned when she heard little feet running towards her and Jake suddenly appeared—having escaped Johnny's clutches. He had spilled milk all over himself and had to change. He is carrying his pants and shirt and is clad only in spiderman underwear. Evangeline couldn't help it and chuckled.

"Where's daddy?"

"Outside on the phone."

Jake sighed. "I need help."

"Come here."

Jake handed her his clothes and she helped him put them on as an amused Jason watched through the window.

"Thank you," he said before running off again.

He definitely is a cutie pie. Her attention is diverted by Jason's voice.

"Why was my son practically naked?"

Eva chuckled. "He didn't say."

"He probably spilled something. Thank you for helping him."

"No problem. He's very cute. I bet he's hard to say no to him."

Jason smiled for the first time in her presence, making him look even more handsome. "Elizabeth was a better disciplinarian. I sucked at it at first, but I'm learning."

Eva smiled. "You're a good dad, Jason. We just need to prove that to the courts."

They worked the next few hours, going over testimony and all the angles they could take. The more she learned about Lucky, the more she hated the man and wanted to take him down.

Jason suggested that they take a break and they went back to the den where Jake is watching a video to help him learn to count.

"Jake are you hungry?"

He nodded, never taking his eyes off the screen.

Jason turned to Evangeline. "You like sandwiches?"

"Sure."

"Follow me."

They went into the kitchen and Jason retrieved some lunch meat, bread, lettuce, and a partially cut tomato. She watched as he grabbed some condiments and then he handed her the bread and knife. "You're on condiment duty."

She smiled. "Okay."

He sliced up the tomato while she opened the packaging and they began to work as a team.

Jake ran up to them and then climbed onto a seat at the bar. "No crusts, daddy."

"Okay."

"Does he eat mayo?"

"Just a little bit of that and mustard."

Eva applied it sparingly and Jason finished putting it together. He picked up an apple and sliced it up and then put the sandwich on the plate next to it. He sprinkled a little cinnamon on the apples and Jake smiled and rubbed his belly. "Yum."

Jason grabbed the plate, deciding to make him sit at the table. "Come on Jake."

He went into the dining room and put the plate down and then lifted Jake into his booster seat. Grabbing a couple of napkins, he places them next to his son and kisses him on the head before going back into the kitchen. They finished up and left a sandwich for Johnny.

Sitting down at the table, they ate and chatted.

"So, how do you like it around here?"

"It's nice and quiet so far."

"For the most part it is. Are you going to work?"

Jason shrugged and wiped his mouth. "I was thinking of buying Roadies, but it's not for sale. Some woman named Blair Cramer is looking for a partner in her nightclub Capricorn though."

Evangeline finished chewing. "It's a busy club." She was going to mention that she sang there on occasion, but changed her mind figuring it would be a surprise.

"So, you go there?"

"Yes. I like Roadies too though. It's very laid back and they have the best burgers and fries."

Jason smiled. "Good because that is my favorite meal."

"I figured you for a steak man."

"That's my second favorite."

"When are you going to talk to Blair?"

"I'm heading over there tonight."

Perfect. She is singing tonight, so it will be interesting to see his reaction.

They finished eating and Jason cleaned Jake up and he ran off.

"We have two days, Jason. We're going to be seeing a lot of each other."

He nodded. "Okay. I'll let the guys at the gate know."

"I'm going to go back to my office and research some legal precedents. Tomorrow, I'll come over and we'll brainstorm. Is it okay if I wear jeans?"

"I don't mind."

She smiled and grabbed her purse. "I really think we can win this. I hired a computer tech named Nick Fallon. He's researching the hit and run."

"I had a tech on it, but he didn't find anything." Spinelli was usually on his game.

"Nick may have already found a breakthrough. There was a new building being built on the southwest corner. At the time, they said their cameras weren't up, but it turns out, they were. They had just changed IT personnel when they were initially questioned and the new guy didn't realize it was up and running. So, they calledthe company that archives their tapes and they are looking for them."

Jason nodded. He hates to get his hopes up, but he really needs to know who killed Elizabeth. He can't find closure otherwise.

"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow. Have faith, Jason."

"Thank you."

She slightly smiled and went outside to her car.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Jason finished putting Jake to bed and then went into his room and changed. He isn't really a suit kind of guy, so he put on some black slacks and a black button down shit. As much as he hates it, if he does buy the club, he's going to have to go shopping, something he hates with a passion.

Johnny poked his head into the room. "You ready?"

"Almost," he said, slipping into his shoes.

"You're such a girl."

"Shut it, O'Brien."

Johnny grinned and Jason followed him downstairs and out to the car.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

They strode into the club which isn't open for another hour. Blair is behind the bar and suddenly looks up. "Holy shit," she said under her breath. Christian Vega, the head bartender, followed her gaze and smirked. "Is that Jason?"

"I hope he's the one in all black. Damn…"

Johnny and Jason approached them.

"I'm looking for Blair Cramer."

"You found her." She smiled and held out her hand. "You must be Jason?"

He nodded. "This is my friend, Johnny."

Blair shook his hand. He is very handsome too.

"Let me show you around and then we can sit and chat."

She led him past some tables and then showed him the kitchen and the office. "I was thinking about having a chef and some appetizers that you could order at the bar."

Jason nodded. People get hungry when they were drinking. It could be a nice touch. "Sounds like a good plan."

Music started to play.

"Our singer for tonight is about to warm up. We have live music several times a week. Can I get you a beer?"

They nodded and told her a brand and then started to peruse their surroundings. Evangeline began to sing 'All is Fair in Love' and Johnny is the first to see her and his mouth dropped open. Her voice is beautiful. Jason turned around and he too is shocked to see his lawyer in a drop dead gorgeous dress singing her heart out. It hugged her curves and showed off her long legs. He is entranced as he watches her passionately sing and you just couldn't help but be caught up in it with her. Abruptly, she stopped to give a direction to the pianist and then continued.

"Jesus, she's good," Johnny said.

Jason didn't say anything, but his eyes never left her.

Blair moved next to him. "She's incredible isn't she?"

Jason nodded. "She's my lawyer."

Blair grinned. "Ah. I take it she didn't tell you she is a singer."

"Nope," Johnny said.

Evangeline finished and they clapped and she finally spotted them and smiled. When she was finished discussing the song with her pianist, she joined them.

"You look totally hot," Johnny said, which caused Jason to elbow him. "What?"

Eva chuckled. "Thank you, Johnny."

"He's right and you have a beautiful voice."

"I wanted to surprise you," she said, knowing he is wondering why she didn't tell him she'd be there.

"Evangeline sings here once a week. She has quite a following," Blair said, finding her chemistry with Jason very interesting.

"Are you guys going to hang around?" Evangeline asked.

"You should. It will give you an idea of the vibe," Blair suggested.

Jason glanced at Johnny who shrugged. "Alright."

"Follow me," Blair said, leading them to a VIP area. They sat against the wall and placed their drinks on the table in front of them. "I need to check on a few things and then I'll join you. Evangeline, can I have Christian bring you a drink?"

"Yes, please."

Blair left and the attention went back to Evangeline.

"So, how long have you been singing?" Jason asked.

"Since I was a little girl. I went to college to be a lawyer, but I also minored in music."

"That must have kept you really busy."

"It did, but I loved every minute of it," Eva said smiling.

Blair came back with her martini. "Dirty with three olives," she said, sitting it down. She walked away and Johnny checked out some women out as people started coming into the club.

Following his gaze, Eva smirked and then turned back to him. "That is Tess Buchanon."

"She is smoking hot," Johnny said.

Jason shook his head as Eva chuckled.

"She's a handful, but a lot of fun," Evangeline said. "And the other one is Natalie her twin sister."

Jason noticed the ire in Eva's voice. "You don't like her?"

"She's a stalking bitch," Realizing she said that aloud, she muttered under her breath as Johnny and Jason grinned.

"You have history?"

"Let's just say that she stalked the guy I was seeing and finally I had enough and ditched him. He ended up going out with her, but they couldn't make it work."

"Is he still around?"

Evangeline rolled her eyes. "Yes. He was dating Blair for a while. He's a cop."

Tess spotted them and muttered. "Holy shit, get a look at the new guys."

Natalie turned to ogle them. How did Evangeline get all the hot men? "You want to steal them away?"

Tess chuckled. "You think you could?"

Natalie rolled her eyes. "Let's go."

They approached the table.

"Hello Tess," Eva said ignoring the pest.

"Why don't you introduce us to your friends?"

Eva put her drink down. "This is Jason and Johnny."

Tess held out her hand and Jason shook it and Johnny kissed it making her smile. When he said hello, she thought his accent was to die for.

"Are you new in town?" Natalie asked.

"Yes," Jason said, not giving out any more information.

Tess sat next to Johnny and put her hand on his arm and then laughed at something he said.

Natalie ignored Evangeline and stared at Jason. His eyes are gorgeous. "So Jason, if you need someone to show you around town…"

Jason's face remained blank. She reminded him of Sam which isn't a good thing. Thank God, he had ended her after she hired the men to scare Elizabeth. No one tried to hurt his son and got away with it. Besides, no respected mafia hitman would have let that bitch live after attacking his family. He held no remorse for eliminating her. She got what she deserved.

Natalie is taking his zoning out as an invitation. Evangeline saw the look in her eye and reached over and held Jason's hand, totally catching him off guard. "I'll be showing Jason around town, but thanks for the offer."

Natalie shot her a look and then turned around and went to the bar. Eva slowly removed her hand and leaned towards him.

"Sorry about that, but you didn't answer and I thought you were at a loss for words."

"It's okay. Thank you."

"You may not thank me later. Either she'll take the hint or because she thinks that you are with me, she'll keep trying."

"Well then, I guess I'll have to call my fake girlfriend if she does."

Evangeline chuckled. "That is RJ Gannon."

Jason looked towards the door and tilted his head. He seems familiar.

"I dated him for a while. We'll just say that he is in my big mistake category."

Jason nodded. He is the last person that would ever judge her. He had a couple of them himself.
