Ch 2

When the silence finally broke Jason became even more confused. A little girl ran down the stairs yelling "mommy! Mommy!"

Elizabeth's heart sank. This was not supposed to happen. She did not want Jason finding out this and she did not want Emma to see him yet. She would know exactly who Jason was. This was about to get ugly.

"Sweetie pie what is it?" She asked still keeping her eyes on Jason.

Jason cleared his throat. Did he really see what he thought he saw? Since when did Elizabeth Webber have a child?

"Mommy Olivia said she has an Uncle Jason. That's my daddy's name too. She has pictures with my daddy. I want pictures with my daddy too." Emma cried.

Elizabeth swore to herself. Before she could speak Emma looked at Jason. Jason could not believe what he had just heard. He had a kid? With Elizabeth?"

"Daddy?" Emma asked walking up to Jason with curious eyes.

"Emma. Baby, why don't you go back upstairs and play with Olivia?"

Jason spoke up for the first time not sure if it were the right thing to say but he needed time to talk to Elizabeth alone, "hey Emma I need to talk to your mom for a bit but I will come up and play with you afterwards, okay?"

"Okay." Emma said.

Once Emma was out of earshot the look on Jason's face changed. Anger covered his face.

Elizabeth looked at him with sorry eyes. So many words needed to be said but nothing could come out of either mouth. Jason stood there like a statue.

"When I left Port Charles I found out I was pregnant. I was unsure of what to do Jason. I was afraid you would think I trapped you. I did not want to complicate your life with a baby." Elizabeth began.

Jason shook his head. "Who the hell do you think you are?"

She took a step back from him not sure of what to say. This was what she was worried about. She deserved it. She needed to let him have his anger.

"I have to tell you that I know it was wrong to take away that right to Emma. That is why I am here now. I want you to know her. I have always told her about you. That is why she knows you. Jason, I can't ask you for forgiveness. I just do not want you to take this out on Emma. She is still young and does not know what happened between us. I want to give you the chance to be a father to her. I am doing it for Emma too. She has been more and more curious about you."

Jason threw up his arms in frustration. He was so mad at Elizabeth. "You had no right to take fatherhood away from me."

"I know. I am sorry." She agreed.

"I don't know why you thought it would be okay to do this. I have a little girl that is what, 3? You kept her from me."

"I know Jas-"

"No! Elizabeth you don't know! You only know how it feels to be a parent to our daughter. That is something I do NOT know because of you!" He yelled.

Sonny walked in and saw the two parents screaming at each other. He knew it wouldn't be long before the girls would hear and come to explore the noise. They did not need to see the ugly fight.

"Guys we are adults here. Remember the girls are here and will hear you." Sonny cut in.

"You are right. I need to go check on the kids." Elizabeth said.

"No. I will go." Jason said as he walked toward the stairs. It became clear to Elizabeth that Jason was hurt. It was not going to be easy to fix this.

Jason walked up to the room where both the girls were playing. He watched as his daughter and niece played with their dolls. He smiled. Emma was beautiful. She had his blue eyes and blonde hair. She had Elizabeth's curls and her rosy cheeks. She seemed to be full of energy. Jason barely knew her and still felt an overwhelming amount of love for her.

"Uncle Jason come play with us." Olivia said as soon as she spotted him.

"Hey girls what are you doing?" he asked as he stepped into the room.

Emma answered quickly, "playing mommies."

"Oh. Hey Emma, do you know who I am?" he had to make sure.

"You are my daddy. I see you in my pictures at home. Mommy give me them."

He nodded. "Yes I am. Can- Can I have a hug?" He needed to hold his daughter.

The little girl stood there for a moment taking in Jason's features. He was her daddy. She wanted to explore what that could be about. She stepped a little closer to the man. Jason knelt down to her level and held out his arms for her to enter. She took one big leap and nearly knocked his balance. It was a great feeling for both. Jason took in his daughter's scent and the feel of her small body in his arms. She smelled like Elizabeth and looked like a well mesh of both of them. He loved her so much.

"Mommy says I can see you now more." Emma told her father with a sparkle in her eye.

"Yes Emma. I would like that very much."

"I'm hungry Uncle Jason. Are we having dinner?" Olivia interrupted the conversation.

"Me too!" Emma chimed in.

Jason smiled. "Okay girls lets go see what Sonny has to eat." Each little girl grabbed a hand of the man and began their way out the door to find Sonny.
