Chapter 1
Elizabeth didn't know what she wanted anymore. She sat on the bench on the docks for what seemed like hours but in reality it was only minutes. She shivered as the fall breeze hit her pale cheek. She had no idea what she was going to do with the information that was rolling around in her head. The information that had been haunting her all day.
She was pregnant.
She found out this morning when she had noticed her period was late. It had been late for weeks but she was to busy to notice. She thought she had the flu when she started throwing up.
She was pregnant.
The thought kept bouncing in her head. And the thing that stressed her out the most was that she didn't know who the father was. She recently only had been with two men.
Lucky Spencer, her "husband" legally but that all ended when he hopped into bed with Maxie Jones and started taking drugs. He had been her high school sweetheart and one of her best friends. He was a cop for PCPD, well he used to be a cop. But that all changed now.
Then there was the other possible father.
Jason Morgan. He was one of Elizabeth's dearest friends. She could talk to him for hours and all he had to do was listen. He was exactly what any woman would want. Tall dark and handsome. But when people said "dark" they had no idea. Jason was a mob enforcer for a man named Sonny Corinthos. Sonny was the mob boss of Port Charles. And Jason, was his killing machine.
But of course, Elizabeth didn't see Jason in that way. She saw Jason as a caring person. She knew Jason was a caring person. But he was only like that with few people. And Elizabeth was one of them. And she was grateful for a friend like Jason. But in her heart she knew he was so much more.
She sat on the bench remembering the night her and Jason spent together. It sent shivers all the way down to her toes. She remembered his lips on her skin just like it was last night. And she knew that was a feeling she would never forget.
"Hey baby" she said placing a hand on her stomach "I know right now Mommy is really confused. But she promises that she'll figure it out soon" Elizabeth heaved a long sigh and closed her eyes. For right now she would just enjoy the quiet.
Jason Morgan heard a soft voice coming from the docks. He hoped it wasn't Sam. He had been avoiding her ever since he broke up with her for sleeping with Rick and because he didn't love her. He couldn't after what she had done.
As he rounded the corner, the talking stopped and he heard a sigh. Whoever it was sounded like they had a hard day. He stopped suddenly as he saw who it was. He couldn't help but smile at the person before him. He leaned against the stairs and just stopped and stared at his friend, Elizabeth.
She looked beautiful. Even in her scrubs, she was the most captivating women he had ever come across. Her hair was cascading down to her shoulders. He remembered the feel of her hair running through his finger. Her hair had felt like beautiful silk.
He stood there for a minute or two and decided that he should make his presence known. He let out a loud cough and he smiled as Elizabeth's eyes snapped open. She quickly looked to her right and gave Jason a huge warm smile.
"Jason, how long have you been watching me?" she asked him. Jason just shrugged his shoulders.
"Long enough to know something is bugging you" he said as he walked over to her. She moved over making room for him on the bench.
"Nothing gets past you" she said looking at her shoes. Jason could tell something must be really bugging her if she couldn't look him in the eye.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?" Jason asked and her head turned up to look at him. Jason immediately noticed Elizabeth had been crying. Her eyes were puffy and tears stains ran down her cheeks.
"What happened?" he asked after she didn't answer his previous question. Elizabeth just looked at her shoes again and let out a small whimper. Jason never really could stand seeing Elizabeth in pain. But that's why he was there to make her feel better.
"Lucky…he, um, pushed me. Last night. And I was just so scared" she took a deep breath " I filed for divorce this morning" she said looking up at him.
Jason didn't know why he felt better after hearing this. Maybe it was because now Elizabeth would be safe away from Lucky… or maybe it was something else. But Elizabeth was in pain and right now he shouldn't be glad about this. But still he was.
"You filed for divorce?" Jason asked making sure he heard right. Elizabeth nodded. Tears falling down from her eyes. Jason put an arm around her shoulder and she rested her head against him.
"Jason, I need to tell you something" she said wiping her tears away. Jason still had his arms around her and he didn't plan on letting go. Elizabeth looked up at him and took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant" she said.
Chapter 2
Jason sat there like a moron for a few minutes until he finally registered what Elizabeth had said. He removed his arm from her shoulders and ran a hand through his blond hair.
"Does Lucky know?" he asked as he came out of his daze. Elizabeth looked down at her wrists.
"Why do you think he pushed me?" Jason looked at her wrists and saw bruises around them.
He was going to kill Lucky.
" I told him about our night we spent together, and he thought that it was your baby. Not his. I know this doesn't justify what he did but I know he didn't do it on purpose. He was high." Elizabeth said.
"You're right. It doesn't justify what he did, so you shouldn't be defending him" Jason said in a firm tone. He hardly ever used that tone with Elizabeth, but she needed to know that this wasn't her fault. Both of them sat in silence for a minute until Jason decided to speak up.
"Is it?" he asked looking straight at Elizabeth. Elizabeth looked at him confusedly.
"Is it what?" she asked.
"Is the baby mine?" Jason asked not looking away from her gaze. Sudden realization came over Elizabeth's face. She once again looked at her shoes.
"I don't know" a sudden beeping came from Elizabeth's pocket. Elizabeth looked at the beeper and sighed.
"It's the hospital. I'm sorry Jason but I have to go" and just like that she was gone. Leaving a very confused Jason at the docks.
A few weeks later.
"Hey buddy!" a very bubbly Carly said as she pranced into Jason's penthouse. Jason looked up from his pool table and the shot he was just about to make.
"What'd you do wrong this time Carly?" Jason said as he put the pool stick down.
" Ha ha Jason. I have some very good news about Elizabeth" Carly said. Jason's head perked up as soon as she said Elizabeth's name.
He hadn't talked to her since she left him at the docks. He's tried to call her but he always got her voicemail. And he never got a call back. All he got was a call from a pissed of Lucky Spencer, telling Jason to leave Elizabeth alone. Lucky was in rehab trying to get better for Elizabeth.
"What about Elizabeth?" he knew it must be something bad because Carly hated Elizabeth.
"Well, Sonny told me and honestly I thinks it's the best news I heard in a long time and-"
"Get on with it Carly" Jason said.
"Lucky is the father of Elizabeth's baby! Isn't it great! Here I thought that Elizabeth would finally get you and…" Jason wasn't listening. He walked over to the couch and sat down. He felt like something had been taken away from him. He wanted to throw up or to throw something. Lucky Spencer did not deserve to be a father.
He did.
And Elizabeth deserved to be the mother of his child.
Jason shook his head. Did he really just think that? He looked to his right and saw Carly going on and on about how bad it would've been if Jason turned out to be the father of Elizabeth's baby. Jason suddenly shot up from the couch and headed for his closet.
"Where do you think you're going?" Carly asked him.
"Out." and just like that he was out the door.
Elizabeth sat on the couch with a hand on her barley showing stomach. She was about 12 weeks pregnant and already she was thinking about names and the color she was going to paint the baby's room. She had just moved into her house and Cameron just loved his room.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Elizabeth looked at the clock above the fireplace. Who on earth would visit her at ten o'clock at night? Elizabeth got up from the couch and walked towards the door. She opened the door and let out a small gasp. Her hand immediately reached her stomach and rested there.
Jason was at her door.
"What do you want?" she asked. She wasn't surprised that he was here but she was surprised at the look on his face. Jason walked into the house and Elizabeth shut the door praying that Jason wasn't mad at her. Elizabeth turned around and released the breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Is it true? Lucky's the father?" he asked bluntly.
Oh. My. God. Elizabeth didn't know what she should do. Should she tell Jason that the baby she was carrying was his or should she lie to him? She never lied to Jason before.
And she didn't want to start now.
