Here is the next chapter. I am deeply grateful for all the reviews. To answer a question yes this is after Jake's second kidnapping. I hope everyone likes this chapter. I am already writing the third chapter. So please review, it'll help me get inspired. Thanks and enjoy.
Jason was speechless to say the least. When he opened the door and he saw Elizabeth he expected anything but the news she just shared.
"I know it's shocking. Believe me I'm still trying to come to terms with it but it is true and I wanted you to know."
"Are you sure?"
"Am I sure that I'm pregnant or am I sure that it's yours?"
"Elizabeth I didn't mean …"
"Yes you did mean to Jason. I know everyone in Port Charles knows about me and Nikolas and Lucky, or at least they think they know what's going on."
"Elizabeth you can do with your life whatever you want. I'm not doubting you. I am sorry; it's just a lot to take in."
"I know it's a lot. I am sorry to trouble you. I just didn't want to make the same mistake I did before. I needed you to know before anyone else. I need to pick up the kids from my grandmothers."
"Hold on. You come and tell me you're pregnant and then just leave like nothing. I need to know what you're going to do. What do you want me to do?"
"I am going to have this baby. I don't know what you're going to do and I don't want you to do anything, I just wanted to be upfront with you."
"Elizabeth you know my life hasn't changed, the danger .."
"I know the danger speech. Don't worry. Like I said I'm not expecting anything. I just wanted to be at peace with my conscience. I have taken care of Cam and Jake by myself and I am fully capable of doing it with this new baby as well. When they ask who is the father I'll just say a stranger who I had a one night stand with. Everyone already thinks I am a whore so it won't make any difference."
She had expected him to stop her from leaving, to say something but he didn't. So she left with her head high, and willing herself to contain the tears threatening to leave her eyes. She made the drive to her grandmother's in a daze, once there she made excuses that she was tired, picked up Cam and Jake and headed home. Once there she forgot about the current problem and enjoyed the time with her two boys. She always enjoyed given them a bath and watching them play. It made her realize that all the sacrifices were worth it.
After putting the boys to bed she drew a bath for herself and allowed her body to relax in the hot water. She closed her eyes and she must have fallen asleep because when she opened her eyes she almost had a heart attack because Jason was kneeling in the top next to her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you."
"Why don't you knock on doors like regular people?"
"I knocked but you didn't answer."
"So you just decided to break into my house and give me a heart attack?"
"Like I said I'm sorry. But I needed to speak to you and I couldn't wait."
"Ok, wait for me downstairs. I'll get dress and then we can talk."
"It's not like I haven't seen you naked but ok, I'll wait downstairs."
She felt his eyes on her for a few more seconds, and then he got up and left the bathroom. After taking a few minutes to gather herself, she got out, put a robe on and headed for the living room when she found Jason standing by the window with a stern look on his face.
"Say what you need to say and then leave. I need to get up early tomorrow."
"You can't just come to my house, tell me you're pregnant and then leave."
"You didn't try to stop me, so I didn't see a reason to stay."
He was no longer standing by the window but a few inches away from her. His hand came up to her chin and he moved her face so that she was looking at him.
"Listen to me, you are not a whore. Don't ever repeat that to me or to anyone else." She tried to move her face away but he wouldn't let her. "I don't care what anyone says and neither should you."
"I don't care, but I know they are saying it."
"You shouldn't listen to what people say." She nodded, no longer able to contain her tears. He hated how he always got her to lower her defenses. He pulled her close to his chest. "When did you find out?"
"This afternoon, I took a home pregnancy test." She answered him without leaving the comfort of his arms. "I suspected it for a while but needed confirmation."
"Shouldn't you go to a doctor to make sure it's okay?"
"Tomorrow I am going to see Dr. Lee. I just wanted to tell you before you heard it from anyone else. I really don't expect you to do anything. I just didn't want to feel as bad as I did when I hid the truth about Jake to you."
"I won't tell you about the dangers of my life because you already know them. I just need a couple of weeks. Give me a couple of weeks to figure out how to handle this. Can you give me that time?"
"You can take all the time in the world Jason. In the end I'm the one that's carrying this baby."
"Like I said I just need a couple of weeks. I'll come see you." I felt him kiss the top of my head, and I know he's ready to leave. And I already feel the emptiness of his absence. "Do you mind if I see the boys before I go?"
"Don't wake them."
He heads up the stairs and is back within five minutes. He turns the knob on the door but looks back at me before leaving. "Remember what I said. I'll come to you. Take care." And he closes the door behind him, leaving me alone and once again without knowing what's going to happen next.
One week goes by, and two and three and my life is now more hectic than ever. So every night when I get home the only thing I want to do is sleep, but of course I need to take care of my two little devils first. So while I run after Jake to get him to take a bath the doorbell rings.
"Hold on I'm coming." She opens the door and her expression immediately changes when she finds both Lucky and Nikolas at the other side of the door.
"Elizabeth we need to speak to you." Of course Nikolas is the first one to speak.
"We demand you tell us who's the father of your baby, and if you're not sure we can always do a paternity test like last time." Leave it to Lucky to bring up Jake's paternity at this very instant.
"Both of you need to leave. I told you on several occasions that I didn't want to see either of you again, and I also told you that this is my baby, and neither one of you is the father."
"I know you are lying to us. Tell us is it Lucky's or mine?"
"I told you that.."
"Stop lying. Remember you are the one who decided to play the whore with both of us while you pretended to wanting to marry me. So just come out and say it, if you are hoping by hiding the truth you'll get something out of us you are very wrong."
In that instant she hated Lucky with all her heart. She knew what she had done was wrong, but he didn't seem to remember everything he did to her. Where had that sweet boy gone and who was this Lucky in front of her. "You have no right to come here and insult me. Leave my house now or I will call the police."
"Oh, please I am the police, and it's not like it's a secret to the whole town that you are whore who is once again pregnant with a bastard."
She was about to slap Lucky but he was already on the floor after being knocked down by Jason.
"You speak to her like that ever again and I will make sure you never speak again." Jason didn't even look at Nikolas; he moved towards Elizabeth and stood beside her. "You okay?"She just nodded. "I want you both lo leave and don't come back."
Lucky was now standing up, and Nikolas decides to defend his brother. "You're the one who needs to leave Jason. We have something to settle with Elizabeth. This is none of your business."
"That's where you're wrong Cassidine."
"Of course her knight in shining armor was going to come to the rescue." Said Lucky who was now up and cleaning the blood of his mouth. "Well Morgan let me fill you in. Little Ms. Webber is pregnant and we are here to find out who's baby is it. You know with her sleeping with both of us at the same time there's some doubt. I am sure you remember what that's like."
"Lucky just leave."
"Not before you tell us who the father of your baby is." Said Nick who was as mad as Lucky.
She was going to tell them to leave and that it wasn't their baby but Jason spoke before she could surprising them all. "It's my baby."
