Jason, Elizabeth and their sons were packed and ready for their trip to Hawaii. This is the beginning of a new chapter in their life. Elizabeth has waited a long time to finally have a family that she could love and protect. She has wanted to feel that her sons would have the father that they have always wanted and needed. Jason wanted to be the father to her boys and Danny was going to have a great step-mother. He knew better than to think that Danny would forget his mother but she needed to be at Shady Brooke to heal.
Danny and his brothers were never going to find out what happened at Spoon Island if Jason and Elizabeth had anything to say. The problem about that is Port Charles is a small town and because of that, what happened on Spoon Island would be big news. They knew that sometime along their trip they would have to explain what happened there before going home.
The flight was a long one but having their own private jet made it a little easier. There was plenty of room for the boys to play. There were beds in the back of the plane if they wanted to take a nap. They had their laptops and video games to play with too.
Cameron and Jake had overheard some of the talk that went on between their parents and Laura. "Mom, we heard what happened on Spoon Island. What made you go there? I heard that Danny's mom wanted to kill you."
"Okay, we will take this into the back room. Jason, can you stay with Danny and Aiden? I think that I need to do this on my own and explain it to them." Jason agreed and stayed with the younger boys.
"First of all, I was in the wrong for not telling your dad first what I was going to do. The second thing is that I should have called your Uncle Nik but I thought that the text I got was from your grandmother, Laura. Sam had taken Laura's phone and texted me that one of you were missing. She didn't say who. I dropped my phone and went to Spoon Island. Your Uncle Nik and Hayden were there but you all were upstairs in the penthouse with your grandmother. Nik explained that Laura had lost her phone and called on the house phone to tell Nik that she was staying at the penthouse with you. She had got in touch with Jason so I must have been already on my way to get you. I apologized for interrupting their evening and was about to go home when Sam showed up with a gun. She forced me at gunpoint to the roof. Your father figured out where I had gone and he was already getting off the launch when he saw us on the roof. He ran up the stairs to try to stop Sam. Nik had already texted the police and they were on the grounds and some had made it to the roof too. Sam was cornered. She still had the gun but was not sure what to do. She was thinking about shooting your dad, me and herself. Your dad was very brave and told her to think about what it would do to Danny and to you boys. He wanted to make sure that she understood that she never had a chance with him that he had always loved me. She needed to know that Danny deserved to have a mother and father who put him first. She realized that it was over and handed one of the officers her gun." Jake and Cam but had tears in their eyes.
"We were so lucky that we didn't lose you last night. I am not sure what we would have done without you." She hugged her boys and they went back out into the main part of the plane.
Jake and Cam both went over to their father and hugged him.
"Thank you, dad for rescuing our mother." Jason just looked at her with tears in his eyes. She also had tears in her eyes. The plane landed once to get refueled in California and then they were on their way right to the great island of Oahu. The plane landed a few hours later. They landed on a private airstrip and their rental car. It was a Dodge Durango in a nice dark blue.
They packed up their vehicle and the house was two miles from the airstrip. They were going to meet the wedding planner the next day and see where the wedding was going to take place and the venue for the reception. It was an intimate wedding with under 25 people.
The boys loved their beach house. It was on the water and it had eight bedrooms. Most of the family was able to stay with them right at the house. The first week, the boys would have their own room but when everyone came in for the wedding the boys would have to bunk up together. There were mainly two master bedrooms. The second master bedroom would be where they boys were staying. The bedroom next to theirs, they had both Aiden and Danny in it together. They figured it would be good bonding for the brothers and it would make it easier to keep an eye on them.
"Okay. There is a directory here that has a delivery service for groceries. We will be out of the house a lot but we still will have time to spend at home and because of that we need to have groceries delivered. I need to know if there are any favorites that are needed to be on here. Danny, we want you to feel comfortable about your new arrangements and one of the main things that your dad and I would like to know are your favorite foods."
Danny went and whispered in Lizzie's ear what he wanted. He didn't want to call her mom yet and couldn't say Elizabeth so Lizzie it was. Jason loved it and so did Elizabeth. The list was made and e-mailed to the delivery company. The main grocery store was about five miles away from the company and ten away from the beach house. It was in a wonderful part of the island. It was pretty secluded and it had the mountains in the back of the property and they were right on the water. The was an in-ground swimming pool with diving board and slide. The boys could swim but Danny, was still learning. Jason knew that he would have him swimming that week.
They got ready to check out the pool. Liz put on her bikini that she had bought that past summer. Jason had seen her in it and so did the boys. The bikini that she just bought for the trip was definitely for their honeymoon.
Jason and the boys met her down at the pool. Liz was there with the sunscreen and towels. She took care of all of her boys including Jason. "You boys hold up till I get your mom. I need to make sure that she has sunscreen on too." Jason then rubbed her down and then the six of them went into the pool. Danny had on his life vest. He wanted to do the same things as his brothers but he didn't get swimming lessons like his older brothers. Aiden and Cam were taught at the Y in town. Jake learned on the island with Helena.
The boys had a blast getting their parents wet. Liz pretended that she was upset with them which made them laugh even more. They got out of the pool when the delivery van showed up. Elizabeth put on her cover-up and went to put the groceries away. Jason paid for the delivery and gave the driver a really nice tip. He then went back to the pool to watch the boys. Danny had followed Lizzie into the house making sure that his favorite foods were there.
He went over to hug Lizzie and kissed her on her cheek. "Don't tell mom, that I kissed you. I don't want to hurt her feelings. I know she is not feeling well and that is why I am with you all. I am happy about that which makes me feel bad." Lizzie tried to think of something that make him feel better but he knew that it wouldn't.
"I think I can do something to make you feel a little better. Let me set up my laptop so you can call your Grandmother, Alexis. You can then ask her about your mom. I know that you can't talk to her yet but hopefully soon."
Elizabeth called Alexis and she went to set up her laptop too. She got on there and Danny got on Lizzie's laptop. "Hi, Grandma Alexis. Daddy took me on a plane to Hawaii. You will love it here when you come next week. There are lots of flowers, birds and the ocean is right outside our door. There is a big pool and daddy is teaching me how to swim. I am sharing a room with Aiden. It is right next to Daddy and Lizzie. I am having a lot of fun but I wish that I could talk to Mommy. I know that she isn't feeling right and that she has to be better before I can talk to her."
"You are right, Danny. Kristina, Molly and I will be there in a week. We are staying at a nearby beach house and I think that maybe your dad and Lizzie will let you spend some time with us there. I will tell your mom that you are asking about her. She will be very happy about it. Tell your daddy and Lizzie, thank you for taking such good care of you. I love you, Danny. Your mother and aunts do too."
"I love you too. Tell Kristina and Molly I love them too and Grandpa Julian." Elizabeth talked to her for a few minutes, telling her about the house and where her house was too. The plane was leaving that Wednesday to pick them up. The rehearsal was Friday and the wedding was Saturday evening at sunset. Monday, everyone would be going home. That Sunday Jason and Elizabeth were going home.
Lizzie turned off her laptop and they went back to the pool. The boys wanted to check out the beach. Lizzie stayed on the shore with Aiden and Danny. The three of them were making a giant sand castle. They were having so much fun. Then it hit them. All of them. Jet lag had finally caught up with them.
They went into the house and Jason ordered pizza for everyone. The boys were in the showers getting the salt, and sand off of them. Aiden took his shower first and then Jason helped Danny in the tub. The boys were finished just in time for the pizza man to show up. Elizabeth was in the shower getting the sand and salt off of her. She made it into the kitchen just in time to get herself a slice or two of pizza before the boys had eaten it all up.
Jason ate his pizza and then got into the shower. He cleaned up and then went into the den watching cartoons with the boys and his beautiful fiancé. Then it was time to get ready for bed. They already had washed up but they needed to brush their teeth and say their prayers.
Jake and Cam had the bedrooms the farthest away from their younger brothers. They stayed up a little longer but soon were asleep too like their younger brothers. Jason and Elizabeth were both beyond tired and that made it harder for them to sleep. They went out on the balcony and watched the surf come in. The moon was shining on the water and everything was so peaceful.
The two of them stood for a little while with their arms wrapped around each other and just relaxed. It had been a long time since the two of them could just be together without any drama. They felt like they were caught up in a bad dream and finally were able to let go and feel free.
The next morning, the boys were up before their mother. Jason had gotten up with his sons and they were making breakfast. Jason had been frying bacon and put a pot of coffee on and that is what woke Elizabeth up. No bad dreams last night and she was finally feeling at peace. Jason didn't have any dreams at all and that was fine by him.
The wedding planner was going to come over to talk about wedding plans and to show the venue for the wedding. She arrived just after breakfast was finished and the dishes had been cleared off the table and put into the dishwasher.
The wedding planner had been talking to both Jason and Elizabeth to get a feel for what they wanted for their wedding day and who should be invited. The wedding planner, Holly knocked on the door and was greeted by four boys and their parents. She was thrilled that all the boys could be there for their big day.
"Hi, my name is Holly and I want you both to have the best wedding ever. I have found a couple of places that you could get married at and a venue for your reception. I have a list of caterers you can use or we can plan it for here. You have a beautiful piece of property here and the wedding would be amazing. We could set up a couple of tents on the side of the house and have everything that you need delivered here."
"That is funny that you should bring up having the wedding here. My husband to be bought the property just before we came down here for a nice vacation spot. We were thinking about having everything here. I just hope we can get the flowers, food and music here in just a few days. We have a friend of ours that is big into computers and video who is doing our photos. He will be here in the next day or so. The houses on either side of us are going to be filled with our family and friends."
Holly seemed very impressed with the couple and their plans. "I have a list of caterers who also do great wedding cakes. We have someone who does flowers and we also have a great dee jay that will get you any song that you can think of. I can bring the wedding salon to you or you can come with me this afternoon and try on some wedding dresses."
Robin, Patrick and Emma were already on their way there. Elizabeth was going to have Robin as her matron of honor and Patrick as the one who was going to walk her down the aisle. Emma was going to be the flower girl. Jason had a few surprises for Elizabeth. He got in touch with her sister, Sarah, and her grandmother, Audrey. They were both coming to the wedding and would be in that afternoon. He also talked to Steven and got him down there for her wedding. He knew that Elizabeth loved Patrick but Steven should be the one who walked her down the aisle.
"Can you bring the salon here tomorrow morning? I think that one or two of our guests will be here for the wedding." Jason was happy that the wedding was going to be on the beach so he didn't have to wear a tux.
"I would be glad to bring the salon to you tomorrow. Just send me the sizes and I will have them bring a variety over to you. If there is a certain color or style even better. The more they know what you want the easier it would be for the ladies at the salon. I have left the two of you a list of the caterers and their specialties. When the two of you know what you want, I can either come here and get it from you or you can e-mail it to me. I know that you don't have a lot of time, so I made it as easy as possible for the two of you to have the wedding that you will love. I have to go but you have my number and e-mail address. I am on my way to the bridal salon. Thank you both for your business." Holly left and Jason was happy with the plans that were being taken especially in such a short amount of time.
The property had beautiful flowers and so there would not have to be a lot of flowers brought in for the wedding. Elizabeth was just thinking a couple of bouquets, flower basket for Emma and the boutonnieres for the men. The two of them sat down and checked out the list that Holly gave them. They knew what they wanted for their cake. The food was going to be something that was easy and not to messy to eat. They decided that they wanted to have steaks, chicken and ribs for the adults. They were going to get hamburgers and hot dogs for the younger set. They wanted to have fresh fruit from the island and also some of the other native foods. The boys were just worried about the cake. They knew it had to be chocolate but what it would look like was something that they were curious about.
"Mom, what is your wedding cake going to look like? I think that since we are on the beach we should have a beach theme. It has to be chocolate, like five different kinds of it and the sea life in candy. Or something like that." Elizabeth looked at her son and knew that he was not joking.
"Okay, we know it is going to be all kinds of chocolate. I am not sure about five different kinds though. The beach theme is something I can get behind but we have to talk your dad into it. He is the one that has to agree to everything. If he likes it then it is going to happen."
Jake, Cam, Aiden and Danny ran to their father and jumped on him. "Okay, we have to have the wedding cake of mom's dreams. She won't tell you but we will. She was a gigantic cake with lots of chocolate and make it look like it is at the beach. There can be starfish, sea shells and stuff like that made out of candy. Mom also wants chocolate, lots of it. Can we do this for her?" Jason started laughing because he knew what Elizabeth would want and that was it but hyped up a bit more than what she wanted.
"Okay. I will get the cake of mom's dreams but we are going to make it look more like a grown up wedding cake but there will be chocolate. What we might do for you chocoholics is get a chocolate fountain for things to dip in it, like fruit, cookies, things like that. How does that sound for a compromise? I promise you that it will be a fun day that we will always remember. Now, who wants to go with me to pick up Robin and Patrick.
"What about Emma?" Jason laughed.
"Emma will be there too. I think that Nik, Spencer and Laura should be coming in today too. I just want you all to know how proud of you I am and that I love you all a lot. I know the younger boys will want to stay here with Mom but if you want to go, let's go."
Jake stayed with his mother but Danny wanted to go with his dad. Elizabeth had Jake and Aiden. They headed to the pool to cool off and have some fun. Elizabeth needed to get a tan to prove that she was actually here in Hawaii. She really wanted Epiphany, Felix and Sabrina to be there too. Jason had already planned for them to come down. He also talked to her brother, Steven and her sister Sarah. They were coming and her Grams too. Sabrina had the baby but with Michael coming with her, it made it easier for her to go. This also pleased Jason. Morgan and Carly were also going but not Sonny. He had things to work on while everyone was away. The numbers were a little more than Elizabeth knew but the caterers would know. It was on their property and he bought the houses on either side of him so there would be plenty of room for everyone to visit. When they stayed there just the family it would be good because of no neighbors.
Elizabeth took the boys in the pool but put a lot of sunscreen on them first. They had a lot of fun going down the slide and jumping off the diving board. She could not believe the energy the two of them had. She loved her boys that including Jason more than life itself.
Sam was locked away in Shady Brooke but not for long. She had help from her father, Julian. He didn't believe that she needed help and he had no room to judge her. He snuck her out the day her mother and sisters left for Oahu. He told her that once she was out that he couldn't help her but he did give her some cash that would get her on a plane out of Port Charles. She needed to blend in more before they realized she escaped. She wanted to be there for the wedding to stop it. She was going to get her husband back and her son. She wasn't sure how but she was going to do it.
Her father left her a car, full of gas and money in the glove compartment. There were people that she could meet that could help her get to Hawaii. He just couldn't be the one doing it because they would be watching him if she escaped. She found everything that he left her and got into the car and started heading toward the Canadian border. Once she got over the border, she would hire a plane to take her to Hawaii.
One of Julian's men went with her so she didn't look so suspicious. She called her dad from the phone he gave her and thanked him. She would be back with the men she loved and hopefully no more drama following them back from Hawaii.
Jason picked up Patrick, Robin and Emma. Cam was so excited to see Emma. The two of started talking and they were still talking when Jason showed them their rooms. Jake and Cameron were sharing a room but that was okay. Jake was a good kid brother and he knew how to keep quiet. Jason had several other pickups to make that day and he couldn't wait for Elizabeth to see them. Jason had checked out the houses on either side of them to make sure that the rooms were ready for them. He hired some staff to help with the cooking and cleaning. The housekeepers had already left but they had the houses done just perfectly.
Later that day, Epiphany, Felix, Michael, Sabrina, Carly and Morgan showed up. Jason said he had another stop to make before getting their dinner. When they got out of the rental car. Elizabeth almost passed out. She was so excited to see everyone. Sabrina had even brought her baby. Carly, Sabrina and Epiphany were there in time for when the ladies from the bridal salon showed up.
The gowns that were there for her to choose were simply gorgeous but first one she put on was the right one. It was simple but it had enough detail to catch the eye. The wedding was going to be on the beach at sunset so the gown did not have to be over the top when the setting was going to be over the top. Emma was trying on her flower girl outfit and Robin was trying on her Matron of Honor gowns when Jason received the text about more surprises for Elizabeth.
"Sweetheart, have fun but I have to go pick up some more people. Just relax we have room and you will be so happy when you see them." Elizabeth watched him leave but she was going to be in for a real shock when he got back.
Robin found her gown and now it was just waiting for the mother of the bride and groom. Her mother was not going to be there but Laura was coming to take her place. Monica was also coming over for Jason.
Audrey, Steven and Sarah also showed up that evening. Elizabeth looked at everyone there and realized that she was truly having the wedding of her dreams.
The next couple of days went by fast with the planning of the wedding. It was now time for the rehearsal and then the rehearsal dinner. The boys and Emma knew what they had to do. Patrick stepped back and let Steven be the one to walk Elizabeth to her future husband. There were more people so there were more bouquets and boutonnieres to be made.
The rehearsal went perfectly. They were getting married at sunset and so that was when they practiced. Spinelli was there and he even took pictures of the rehearsal. The dinner was a true Hawaiian luau. They had the food, and the hula girls and everyone was wearing grass skirts. Spinelli had a blast taking pictures of the luau.
The next morning everyone was asleep until after ten. The night before had been a great time and they all needed the rest for the next day. Elizabeth was in one house and Jason was staying in another. They were going all tradition for this one. The ladies from the wedding salon had picked up the women for their spa afternoon. When they got back, they would be doing the makeup and hair for the wedding party. The ceremony was starting at seven so they would be right on schedule for the sun setting. There were tiki torches on the property to give the proper feel. The tents had already been put up. The caterers were there to set up the food and the grills for the food that night.
Meanwhile, Sam and her guard, Frank were flying to Hawaii. Sam found out that her mother and sisters were already on the island and on hand for Danny when his father marries Elizabeth. The plane was heading for Oahu. It had to land in California first and refuel before getting to the island. The problem was when they landed, they had no clue where the festivities were. She hadn't spoken to her son since before going to Shady Brook. She was very angry about everything that was going on and that caused her not to think about what she really needed to do. She needed to find someone on the island that might be working for their wedding so she could know where to go. The main problem was that she didn't know the day that they were getting married. She landed on the day that they were getting married. She only had a few hours to find them but she didn't know that.
Alexis, Molly and Kristina were hanging out with Danny for the day. He loved the beach and Alexis felt comfortable knowing that he was getting treated the way he should because it was not his fault that his mother was not in her right mind. She knew that Elizabeth would be good to him but seeing them together made her feel even better. When she got on her laptop she was shocked to see that her daughter had escaped from Shady Brook. She showed her daughters and then went over to see Jason.
"Jason, we have a problem. I think that Julian helped Sam escape from Shady Brook. If she finds you here, there could be trouble. If I know my husband, he has help for wherever she needs it and I say he sent her to Canada to get a plane here. She will want to stop the wedding." Jason looked at Alexis and thanked her.
Jason then called Holly and told her about the problem and offered her more money to keep the wedding private. They did not need Sam crashing the wedding. He then thought that the best thing that he could do at the moment is just pray that Sam would not find them but he also needed a way to get her to understand that they were not happening and that she needed help so she could be a mother to Danny but this was not the way.
The ladies were back at the main house getting their hair and makeup done. Elizabeth truly looked like a princess who was about to marry her prince. Her prince did not ride a horse but a Harley. She had her hair curled and flowers entwined in it. Her makeup was light and not overdone. Her gown was like something that a Hawaiian princess would wear. She loved the style and feel of it and she looked breath taking.
Steven was ready to walk her down the beach. Robin, Sarah and Emma were ready for walk too. The boys had already down their job except the two youngest. They were walking in front of Emma with the rings. Danny was giving Jason, Elizabeth's ring and Aiden was giving Elizabeth, Jason's ring. They knew what they had to do and were ready.
The wedding march played and everyone got into place. Elizabeth finally made it to the minister and Jason was relieved. He was not going to say anything about Sam until they were married. They he would tell her about their problem. He had called Francis and Johnny O'Brien who were on their way to help him find Sam.
The minister asked who gave the bride to the groom and all four boys spoke up. She loved hearing that especially from Danny. It meant a lot to her that Danny was happy about the two of them getting married.
The minister had said a prayer for them and then Jason and Elizabeth were going to say their vows to each other.
"I, Jason promise to love and honor you. You are the one person who I trust more than anyone. I know that we had our rough patch when I found out the truth about myself but when my memories came back, I realized how much we both loved and hurt each other. You made me a better man and for that I am grateful. You put your fears aside and took care of me when everyone was saying that he shouldn't trust someone that you didn't know. I felt that connection to you the moment I opened my eyes. You are the one that I love and trust. You are my life and I am going to give you everything that you deserve and more. Thank you for trusting in me when no one else did." Elizabeth held his hand and said her vows.
"I, Elizabeth promise to love, honor and cherish you. You are my true soulmate. We have been through so much and have put each other through so much but we always come out the better for it. I know that deep in my heart you are the one that I am supposed to be with and I will love you every day till the end and then some more. I promise to give you what you have been missing in your life because you deserve that and more. Thank you for believing in me when everyone wanted you to forget me."
Jason wiped the tears from his eyes and even the minister had a few tears there. They exchanged rings and became Mr. and Mrs. Jason Quartermaine. He wanted to have his life back with no ties to either Sonny or Sam. Monica now had more tears in her eyes because she didn't know that he was going to take his name back. All the boys will now and forever have the last name Quartermaine. They kissed and the future was theirs.
