Chapter 2
As Samantha McCall woke up not sure of her surroundings she couldn't remember where she was. Then she recognized the things in the room. It wasn't hers, so then where was she. When she saw the picture on the nightstand she knew. There on the nightstand was a picture of Sam and her two younger sisters Kristina and Molly and she knew where she was. She was in her mother's room and then it call came back to her. The anger and hatred at Jason and her mother, the drinking and the sex with Ric her stepfather. Looking to the other side of the bed was Ric still asleep with no sign of waking up. She slept with her step dad and one of the people Jason's enemies. Would Ric tell? No he still wanted to work things out with Alexis. She was safe and if it did get out she could tell Jason Ric took advantage of her. Sure that was a lie. She had seduced her own stepfather to hurt her mother. But Jason would believe her over Ric. First she had to get out of there.
Seeing that it was 6:45am on the alarm clock Sam got out of bed quickly went to take a shower when she got an idea. She would go over and tell Jason she couldn't stay at her mother's anymore. She would just tell Jason half truths. That was angry had her mother for ruining their great love. Then Ric came home and took advantage of her. No Ric raped after all she was drunk and couldn't think straight or defend herself and was taken advantage of. Yes that would work then she could get rid of Ric and cause as much pain to her mother as she had caused her. Thinking of Molly she quickly shook it off. She wasn't even a year old and Kristina wasn't even four years old yet. After Jason took her back and she was again living in the Penthouse she and Jason would help them. Sam quickly put her cloths back on. Her clothes were a little torn and her hair was a mess but that would work to her advantage. Getting into her car and began to drive over to Jason's. Riding the elevator up to the top floor of Harborview Towers Sam was excited to have what belonged to her back. She didn't care who she hurt as long as she got what she wanted and she wanted Jason. As the elevator doors opened she prepared herself for facing Jason. Bringing tears to her eyes she began knocking loudly on the penthouse door. As the door opened seeing Jason, Sam rushed inside and was about to talk when she saw Elizabeth and froze.
"What's she doing here?" Sam asked accusingly when she noticed Elizabeth's disheveled appearance as if she hadn't just gotten here. It looked like she'd spent the night here and had just gotten up. There was also something different about the nurse. Something she'd never seen in her before. Elizabeth looked truly happy and satisfied. Jason had cheated on her with..with a mealy-mouthed ordinary girl. "Did you cheat on me with this girl?" she asked as the anger began to grow inside her.
"Sam it's no of your business. Why are you here?" Jason asked wanting to find out what Sam wanted so he could get her out of here. Then he could work on his future with Elizabeth. He' wasn't sure why Sam was here but he had a feeling he wasn't going to like it.
"Jason I need you. Ric...Ric took advantage of me last night. He raped me." Sam said as she quickly walked up to Jason and wrapped her arms around him. Jason saw the pain in Elizabeth's eyes. He couldn't believe what Sam was doing. Jason had thought Sam had changed from who she was. Did she really change or was she just hiding and he began to wonder if he ever really knew her.
"Did you call the police?" Jason said pulling away from Sam and putting some distance between them. Also putting himself between her and Elizabeth.
"What no I didn't want anyone to see him. I came here to have my boyfriend take care of me. This doesn't concern you so leave" Sam said glaring at Elizabeth.
"First Elizabeth isn't going anywhere and second we aren't together. We haven't been for months. Now I can help if you want. I'll call the PCPD for you and they can come here. How bout I also call Alexis for you?" he asked wanting to see how far she was going to try and take this.
"No I don't need my mother all I need is you. I need your help I can't deal with what Ric did to me alone. I need you Jason. Once you make Ric pay for what Ric has done to me. Then we can be together again. Don't you want that Jason? Don't you love me?" Sam pleaded with Jason. Elizabeth sitting on the couch couldn't comprehend what she was hearing. That someone would use something as horrifying as rape to cover up her own actions. Not only that but for destroying her own mother's marriage and for murder. Elizabeth didn't hate anyone but what Sam was doing was wrong.
"ENOUGH SAM!" Jason yelled causing Sam to jump. He had heard enough and decided this was ending now. "No Sam I don't want that and no I don't love you. I can't believe your using rape as an excuse for you having sex with Ric."
"Jason he raped me."
"No, no he didn't. I was there to see you and Ric having sex."
"You...were..there?" Sam asked in a shaky voice.
"Yes I saw part of it and I know you wanted it the way the two of you were all over each other." As Sam heard what Jason said she knew her plan was blown. She also had hope Jason had come looking for her.
"You were looking for me. Does that me you want to be with me. I knew it you love me." Sam said moving toward him.
"Sam stop. I don't love you and I don't know you. And after the lie you just told and what you wanted me to do to Ric I'm not sure I ever have. I thought you'd changed Sam but I see that I was wrong. It's time for you to leave Sam."
"NO! NO! NO! You love me and I love you." Sam was beyond angry now. Jason had had enough and grabbed her arm and took her toward the door. "Wait you making me leave the love of your life. What about that whore over there. Who has obviously cheated on her husband. How the high and might have fallen." Sam said pulling out of Jason's grasp for a moment and tried to go over to Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth and her life is none of your concern and neither is mine." Jason said opening the door and pushing Sam out.
"I'm sure it's Lucky's business and I'll be happy to tell him for Elizabeth. I'm sure he's concerned for where his slut of a wife is."
"Sam stay out of our lives and go get a live of your own. One more thing Sam I wasn't there alone. Alexis was there also." Jason told his former girlfriend. Ignoring the shocked look on her face he closed the door and turned to see a concerned look on Elizabeth's face.
"Jason are you all right?" Elizabeth asked getting off the couch and coming to Jason.
"I'm fine." Jason said as he leaned against his desk.
"Jason it's all right to be upset the two of had a relationship over a year." Elizabeth said gently laying her hand over his.
"I'm fine really. I thought it would hurt more to finally put our relationship to an end but it doesn't. What did upset me was that she tried to do and what she called you." Jason told her moving a lose strand of hair behind her ear.
"Oh my god I forgot Lucky. Sam's going to tell Sam before I'm ready and I don't know what Lucky will do." Jason saw the concern in Elizabeth's eyes. He wrapped his arms around his love and she rested her head against his chest.
"Everything we be fine as long as we're together." Jason said leaning down and kissing the top of her head. Pulling out his phone he called John downstairs. "Mark has Sam left the building. All right tail her and if she goes to Lucky and Elizabeth's apartment stop her. No don't hurt her just keep her busy for a few hours. Also tell Doug to come up to the Penthouse. I've got an important assignment for him. Don't worry I'll be fine. Just go and call me no matter what happens." Jason hung up the phone and called a name he'd heard from Bennie. "Is this Diane Miller? This is Jason Morgan. Do I know what time it is? No." Jason said looking over to his lone clock sitting on his desk. It was 8:20am it wasn't that early. "Mrs. Miller...Diane I need your services. What for a divorce. No I'm not married, it's for a friend. I understand you don't do divorce case's. I was told you were the best. You can charge me whatever you think is acceptable. Good I need you at 122 Harbor View Drive at let's say 10am. All right we'll see you at 11am."
"Jason I don't want you to pay for my lawyer. I can take care of that myself." Elizabeth said pushing away.
"Diane is expensive but she's the best. I have more than enough money." Jason told her seeing the look of determination in Elizabeth's eyes.
"Then we can get someone else. Jason I know.." Elizabeth stopped when they heard a knock at the door.
"Jason you needed me." the brown haired guard asked as Jason opened the door.
"Doug come in. This is Elizabeth Webber. You will driving her to pick up her son and bringing them back here. Elizabeth I know we didn't get a chance to talk about this earlier but I think it would be a good idea for you to move in with me." Jason told her hoping she wouldn't get upset he was making decisions for her. He just needed to protect his family. Elizabeth walked up two him putting her hands on either side of his face and lowering his head to kiss him. Then she grabbed her purse and walked out the door with Doug following. Stopping she turned to Jason with a serious face and a twinkle in her eyes.
"Don't worry we're going to talk about this later." Then she got on the elevator to go pick up her son. Jason loved that about her. She was an independent woman. She had survived so much in her short life and had come a strong stubborn woman. Who just happened to be the love of his life. Clearing his thoughts and dialing the number of an ex-marine friend overseas.
"Cody its Jason. Are you busy? Good I need your help in Port Charles. Thank you, also can you bring some men you trust. When can you get here? Wednesday the 16th. I'll see you then." Jason hung up grabbed his leather jacket and went to see Sonny. As he left for Sonny's he thought back on the year he had. Things had been strained for a long time especially when he was with his sister. Things much better but their relationship would never be the same. Too much pain had been caused between them. Jason still considered Sonny his friend, but he was done putting Sonny's problems ahead of his own.
Across the city on Spoon Island Nicolas, Emily and six month old Spencer were heading over to Lucky and Elizabeth's apartment. Both Nicolas and Emily had tried to call them but couldn't get through. Things were not going well for Elizabeth and Lucky over the last year. So Emily and Nicolas wanted to spend the day with their friends and see if they could help fix the failing relationship. As the three boarded the boat to the mainland Emily thought about how things worked out her and her prince. Things were hard for a long time from her rape to Nic cheating on her with Courtney and the strangeness of her hooking up with her brother. Their two lives were a mess for so long but things were finally working out between them. At first as they began to reconnect when Nic thought John was his and then when he found out John was his son there was this awkwardness between them and at times things were tense neither not sure what to say to each other. The past few months were much better. The two had reconnected and could talk to each other about almost anything even the dark times. They had found love lost and had found happiness. She and Nic had a son together. Sure Spencer was Courtney's but she still thought of him as her son. She hopes one day they could raise a child of hers together. That could wait for another day because she was happy and she wanted that happiness for her friends. Coming to Lucky and Elizabeth's apartment they didn't notice Sam pulling up two blocks down the street or the car that was following Sam pull up a block behind her and making a phone call.
"Boss it's Mark. Sam's pulled up two blocks from Lucky and Elizabeth's apartment."
"What's she doing?" Jason asked as he pulled up to Sonny's home.
"She's waiting. Your Nicolas Cassidine and your sister have just pulled up and have gotten out of the car. It looks like Sam doesn't want to be seen by them and is waiting for them to leave." Mark said looking through a pair of small binoculars.
"All right keep watching her." Jason said sitting on his bike.
"What do you want me to do if she gets out and tries to talk to her?" asking his boss what level of force to use.
"Do you have chloroform in the car?"
"Yes."
"All right if she gets out of the car use the chloroform to knock her out and leave her in her car. That will buy Elizabeth and I time to get things settled. Also keep an eye on apartment."
"You got it Jason." Mark said hanging up the phone and going back to watching Sam and the apartment.
Back at the apartment Emily and Nicolas didn't understand why no one was coming to the door. It was almost 9am both Luck and Elizabeth should have been up by now. They both had the day off so they should be home. As the two were about to leave with Spencer they heard a noise and cursing from inside the apartment. The two turned as the door opened seeing a very angry Lucky.
"WHAT!" he said yelling before he realized who was at the door. When he did see he tried to calm down. "Emily, Nicolas what's going on?" he asked wanting the two to leave.
"We tried to call you and Elizabeth to see if you wanted to spend the day together since we all have the day off. Is everything ok Lucky because you don't look good? Is Elizabeth here?" Nicolas asked seeing how badly his brother was out of it. His eyes were bloodshot and glazed over. Plus he was having a hard time standing still. If he didn't know better he'd thing his brother was high. He saw the look in Emily's eyes and could tell she was thinking the same thing.
"Everything's fine brother Elizabeth spent the night at her grandmother's house with her son and I didn't get home until late." he said lying through his teeth. He needed them to leave before Maxi woke up.
"Are you sure Lucky. How about I call Audrey's house and then you, Elizabeth, Cameron, Nicolas, Spencer, and I can all go out for breakfast." Emily said taking out her phone.
"I can't I'm busy."
"I thought you had the day off. Are you sure you're all right Lucky." asked a very concerned Nicolas who knew something was wrong.
"Mac asked me to come in.." Lucky stopped when he heard a noise coming from the bedroom and hoped his brother and Emily didn't hear it. "Listen I have to go I'll call you later." he said about to shut the door.
"Lucky what was that noise? I thought you said Elizabeth was at Audrey's house." Emily asked putting her hand on the door.
"I am alone would you just go I have to get ready for work." He said planning on shutting the door on them when they all hear the voice coming from the bedroom.
"Lucky...Lucky what's going on." asked a fully dressed short haired blond coming out of the bedroom. She froze when she saw the door open with Nicolas and Emily standing there.
"Maxi?" Nicolas asked. He couldn't think of anything else to say at the moment. Emily on the other hand wasn't.
"Lucky what is going on and why is she here?" Emily asked not waiting for permission and walked into the apartment.
"I..I should go. I'll talk to you later Lucky." Maxi said getting out of Dodge but not before kissing Lucky on the cheek and leaving Lucky there with a shocked Emily and Nicolas.
"Your stoned Lucky and sleeping with barley over age girl. Who's the niece of your boss."
"It's not my fault. I've been under a lot of stress recently. My back still hurts and I need pain medication. The bills keep racking up and I think Elizabeth is having an affair with Patrick. Maxi seduced me she. She's been hanging around coming on to me. I slept with her once and it won't happen again." He lied yet also vowed it wouldn't happen again because he knew this would get back to Elizabeth.
"Where's Elizabeth Lucky?" Nicolas asked.
"I don't know where she is. She's either at Audrey's or with Patrick."
"All right we'll fix this. First you have a problem Lucky so you need to give me your drugs now." Emily demanded of Lucky. Lucky went into the kitchen and got pills and gave them to Emily. "Now do you have to work?" she asked seeing Lucky shaking his head no. "All right I'm going to find Elizabeth and talk to her she needs to help you. Nicolas and I are going to take Spencer home try to find Elizabeth so she can help you deal with your obvious addiction."
"I'm not addicted. I just need them to help me through the day and the pain."
"Lucky just clean yourself up. We'll be by later once we talk to Elizabeth." Nicolas told his brother as he and Emily pushed Spencer in his stroller out the door and Lucky closed the door behind him.
"Do you believe his entire story?" asked Nicolas as they walked to the car.
"Not all of it. First off where is Elizabeth she should be home helping her husband. I'll call Audrey and ask her if she's seen Elizabeth." Emily said pulling out her phone and calling Audrey. "Hello Audrey it's Emily."
"Hello Emily what can I do for you?" asked Audrey looking down at Cameron playing with his toys.
"Have you seen Elizabeth or heard from Elizabeth?"
"No. Emily is everything all right."
"Elizabeth never came home last night. Lucky just needs her help. He's addicted to drugs and needs Elizabeth. Could you have her call me if you see her?"
"I will. Thank you for letting me know Emily." Audrey said as Emily disconnected.
"Has she heard from her.?" Nicolas asked as they got into their car.
"No she hasn't heard from her. Now I'm getting worried."
"Don't worry Emily everything will work out in the end. First we need to take Spencer home then we'll work on fixing our friends marriage." Nicolas said as they drove away. Down the street Mark saw the two about to leave he got out of his car and slowly walked toward Sam's car knowing as soon as they left she'd get out. As he approached Sam who was sitting in her car not even paying attention to what was going on around her. Sam was determined to make Elizabeth pay and by telling her husband what she was doing last night it surly would. She was so focused on her hate that she never heard or saw John come up behind her as she opened the door. Mark quickly put the chloroform rag over her face and within seconds she was out cold. He quickly put her back in her car and put the seat down so it looked like she was asleep. Mark moved back to his car and drove away before anyone noticed.
At Audrey's Elizabeth had arrived with Doug after they had quickly stopped at Kelly's to get her caffeine fix of hot chocolate. She needed it for what was to come as she got out of the suv with Doug waiting by the vehicle. As she approached the door it opened and Audrey was standing there with concern on her face.
"Is everything all right dear?" Audrey asked as Elizabeth entered her home. As she closed the door she saw Doug and the suv.
"Everything's fine Grams. I'm just here to pick up Cameron." she said seeing Cameron playing on the floor with his toys.
"Mommy." the two year old said running to his mother hugging her leg before she could bend down. Elizabeth could see how much her son missed her and knew what she was doing for Lucky hurting her son. Leaving Cameron here so she could help Lucky with his addiction that he refused to admit he had or get help for. She wasn't putting anyone before her son again.
"Who's that man outside and why did you come with him?" Audrey asked with judgmental eyes believing she knew the answer.
"He works for Jason. I'm moving in with him." Elizabeth said getting it out of the way quickly.
"What. You're abandoning your husband to move in with that thug."
"Yes. My marriage to Lucky is over. It's been over for a long time. I've just refused to see it."
"How could you abandon you Lucky the father of your child? He needs you. I got a call from Emily saying you never came home last night and Lucky is in a lot of pain and needs your help. Where were you last night? Where you with him." she asked accusingly
"I don't like your tone." Elizabeth said not answering her grandmother's question. She was getting angry and didn't want that in front of her son.
"I'll take that as a yes. How could you do that to Lucky after everything he's done for you?"
"Everything he's done for me. Don't you mean to me Grams?"
"Lucky's done nothing to you."
"What are you talking about Grams? No I'm not doing this here and not if front of my son. I'm going to get pack a bag for Cameron and then were leaving. Come on Cameron just go pick some clothes and toys for you to take." Elizabeth said as Cameron happily took her mother's hand and went upstairs leaving Audrey alone. A few minutes later the two came back downstairs. Elizabeth ignored her grandmother and went to leave.
"Don't do this Elizabeth. Don't throw away your life and your son's life for a brain damage criminal. Go apologize to Lucky for screwing up your marriage and take care of your husband." said a demanding Audrey. Elizabeth just looked back at her grandmother with shock in her eyes which turned to sadness as tears began to well up in her eyes. But she held them in her eyes she wasn't going to cry not in front of her and not after what she had said about her and Jason.
"So that is how you feel. You think I'm a failure just like the rest of the family. That's fine then you won't be seeing Cameron and me again. If you want to see us were be at Jason's. Oh and Luck the great slept with a barely eighteen year old Maxi last night. I know I saw them. So if you love Lucky so much you fix him because I'm done." Elizabeth said and then walked out getting in the SUV and heading to their new home.
Across the city at Sonny's Jason and Sonny were finishing up their business discussion after Jason spent a few minutes with Michael, Morgan and Kristina. They decided to make peace with Alcazar for now. Sonny didn't like the man or really trust him but he thought he would keep the piece for now. Lorenzo had a child with Sky and Dante. So he was focusing on his family for now. Though Jason and he both agreed they would watch him. As they were finishing up their talk Sonny could tell there was something on his friends mind.
"What's going on Jason you seem distracted."
"I have something to tell you and ask you." Jason said to Sonny knowing he won't like the part about Ric or maybe he would.
"All right Jason what do you need to tell me."
"Elizabeth and I are getting together. We're moving into together."
"What?" Sonny asked shocked. He knew Jason and Elizabeth had become friends again but this was a surprise. Last he heard was from Carly right before her trip with Jax. She told him that she talked Jason into trying to work things out with Sam. "What about Sam. I heard from Carly that you were going to try and work things out."
"Carly. Yeah Carly came over and reminded me how miserable and lonely I was. I went to find Sam but it wasn't out of love I was just alone. They next part is going to shock you. When I went to Alexis's looking for Sam I found her having Sex with Ric." Jason told Sonny who dropped his glass of water on the counter nearly breaking the glass.
"What are you sure?" Sonny asked not believing Ric would sleep with his own step daughter or Sam her stepfather.
"I'm sure and so was Alexis there as well."
"Damn that must have hurt." Sonny said with sympathy. He and Alexis have had issues but he didn't hate the woman and certainly wouldn't want that to happen to her. He would have to find time to talk to her. He was also glad Kristina was playing in the back yard.
"Yeah she looks devastated. She also looks ill. We just went our own way. I went back to the penthouse and started drinking to my sad life. A little while later Elizabeth came by which was a shock to me. Apparently Lucky's been sleeping with Maxi and she say them together in her own apartment in her own bed."
"Lucky and Mac's niece."
"Yes. Elizabeth and I drank and talked and ended up sleeping together. This morning we talked again and decided to really try."
"Aren't you two moving fast? I understand if you want to try to have a relationship but moving in together."
"I love her and we've been going slow for the past seven years."
"I can see that you've love her. You two have been connected ever since she found you in the snow if not before. I think that's why Carly hates her so much." Sonny said hearing Jason groan at the mention of Carly. "You know she's going to be a problem. She thinks she runs your life and comes first in it."
"Yes I know I'll deal with Carly when she gets back. Listen Sonny I'm going to take a step back."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to have a family Sonny. I want a chance to have one. I can still be your enforcer but you need someone to take some of my load because I can't, wait no I won't be at your beck and call 24/7 anymore." Jason told Sonny. Sonny stood there quietly thinking about what Jason said. He has taken a lot from the younger man and messed up his life on more than one occasion. He had destroyed their friendship. They were still friends but it would never go back to what it used to be. Sonny decided to be happy for his friend and try to work with him. He owned him that much.
"All right that's fine. Who would you recommend for a promotion?"
"Max. He's been here the longest and is good at his job. I think he would make a great enforcer."
"Max. I think he would work. All right I'll talk to him and if he agrees he would answer to both of us. I'll only call you for help if it's emergency or if it's important."
"Thank you Sonny. Also I'd like to buy the top two floors of the towers."
"The ninetieth and twentieth floors."
"I'm moving in Elizabeth and Cameron. I want to renovate the top floor and make it one place and have the ninth floor just for guards."
"Why don't I just sign the building over to you?" Sonny told his friend.
"You don't have to."
"Jason it's yours. I don't live there and have no interest in living there again. This way you can do what you want to the building for security. All I would ask is you keep one of the penthouses on the ninth floor for me in case of an emergency."
That's fine. I know were limited on the number of guards so I called in some help from overseas to guard the towers and my family if you don't mind." Jason knowing Sonny might not like that.
"Will I get to meet them?"
"Yes and they will answer to you and me. But their man job will be protecting my family. If you need them for an emergency that's fine."
"That's fine for now."
"Thank you Sonny for all of this. I have to go. I need to get back to the penthouse so Elizabeth and I can meet our lawyer to go over Elizabeth's divorce."
"It's nothing you deserve a family like me. I am happy for you. I make the call and you should have control the Towers by tomorrow." Sonny said as his friend left. Jason left on his bike feeling happy and filled with hope for the future.
Jason arrived at the Towers building a few minutes after Elizabeth and forty minutes before Diane was scheduled to be at the Penthouse. Before he went in to check on Cameron and his mother he got caught up with Doug and Mark. He was glad Sam wasn't hurt though he knew she would be angry when she woke up and would suspect him. Which she would be right. Mark had impressed him calling Stan after to check and make sure there were no video cameras in the area and if they were to eras him from the footage. From what Doug told him Audrey wasn't happy with her granddaughter and was barley holding the tears in as they drove back to the Penthouse. Jason understood her concern but this was her granddaughter someone she supposedly love. Entering the Penthouse it was dark and quiet. As he moved around he heard noised coming from the upstairs. Jason followed the noise until he arrived at Brenda's old room. There he found little two year old Cameron playing with his toys. Jason just watched the child had wished was his son and wanted to become his son. Cameron didn't notice him as he was too caught up in game that he hadn't noticed Jason until he looked up. He just stared at Jason for a moment then got up and ran over and hugged him which surprised him. He hadn't thought Cameron would remember him.
"Jayson." Cameron said happily as he looked up to the now bending down Jason. "Do you wanna play withs me?" The toddler asked pulling on Jason's arm.
"Ok." Jason said getting down on the floor with him and picking up a toy motorcycle. "So Cameron how was your stay with your great grandmother?" Jason asked for two reasons wanting to get to know his hopefully soon to be son and to find out a little bit about what happened between the two Webber women. Jason hadn't expected the two year old to go on and on happily about every detail about his stay with Audrey. What he did at the park, who he played with and how one of his friends Adam got a bubo on his knee. He just kept rambling on which made Jason smile knowing where he got it from. Eventually he came to when his momma came to pick him up and how momma and grandma were upset with each other. He didn't know why just that mommy told him they were moving his with Jason which made him happy. He was excited as they climbed into the biggest car he'd ever been in.
"So you don't mind living with me?"
"No yous always nice to me and mommy." said looking up at Jason with love.
"Who isn't always nice to your mom and you?" Jason asked already knowing the answer. He wasn't going to show how angry he was in front of Cameron.
"Daddy he's yells at mommy and makes her cry. I don't like to see mommy cry."
"Neither do I. What else Cameron?"
"He ignores me when it's just me and daddy. The only time he pays attention to me is when mommys around. I hate my daddy. Does that make me bad?" that question shocked him and could feel the rage building inside. He was finally going to say something but Elizabeth interrupted him.
"Oh my poor baby." Elizabeth said rushing in and hugging her son who clinged to mother. Elizabeth had come from the balcony where she had gotten some air. She never noticed that Jason had arrived and had got to check on her son. When she reached the room she was shocked to see Jason on the floor. It filled her heart with joy and she loved Jason even more in that moment if it was possible. Her son was happy and like Jason. He joy soon filled with sadness as she heard Cameron tell Jason about some of her fight with Audrey. Then telling Jason about Lucky. She couldn't believe how stupid she was putting Lucky before her own child. "No you aren't bad. You were a good little boy. Your daddy was the bad and now he's going to be getting a long time out. So you are happy to be here living with Jason?" Elizabeth asked concerned about her son and the possible toll it might have on him until she saw the big smile on his face.
"YES! Jayson's always nice to me and plays with me. Can we live heres forever?" asked an again happy two year old going back to playing with his toys.
"Yes you can. You and your mom can stay here as long as you want."
"Cans we play all together now then? Me, mommy and Jayson like a real family." That statement from her baby made the tears flow from again in Elizabeth's eyes until Jason was in front of her with his hands on her cheeks gently wiping away the tears with his thumbs.
"I think that would be great but not now Cameron. First your mommy and I have to talk to Diane and then mommy and I have to talk." Jason told him never taking his eyes off Elizabeth's eyes. They were lost in each other's eyes. The love flowing from each other soothed them taking away the building anger and sadness until they heard the knock from downstairs. Diane was here to work on the divorce.
"Cameron baby Jason and I are going to go downstairs and work on the timeout for daddy. So I need you to stay here and play with your toys. If you need us we'll be downstairs." Elizabeth said kissing her son on the cheek.
"Ok mommy." Cameron who had become lost in playing with his toys barely noticed them leaving.
Downstairs met the red headed Diane Miller. Diane wasn't happy with a few things. First being woken up so early, the second that Mr. Morgan wanted her for a divorce case. She had little experience with those types of cases. But Morgan was paying her gobs of money she just couldn't turn down. After all her clothes and shoes weren't cheap. She knew of Jason Morgan or at least the rumors. A Quartermaine who changed his name to Morgan and went to work for Sonny Corinthos an alleged mob boss. What surprised her was the petite beautiful brunette standing sitting next to the tall enforcer. The contrast difference between the two wasn't limited to their physical appearances. As they talked about the divorce and what an absolute bastard Lucky Spencer was Elizabeth did all the talking. Jason hardly said more than a word at a time. Evan when she asked him a question. Didn't know how these two came together what she did know is that they loved each other. The way the two looked at each other or the way Jason comforted her when the conversation grew too personal.
As for the case it was a walk in the park. From stealing evidence from the police and trying to set up another man to physiological abuse and some physical abuse, to endangering a minor, and sleeping with the boss's barley legal niece. Lucky Spencer was in some serious trouble and needed some serious help. She was upset with Elizabeth for staying with the man for so long. She wasn't sure why. Maybe out of some debt she felt she owed to the man or out of obligation. It wasn't her business what it was she was just glad she seemed to have finally stopped taking care of a grown man.
"All right I have enough information. This should be easily taken care of." She told the smaller woman as she got up and headed to the door.
"Do you know how long it will take you to have the papers drawn up?" Jason asked as he and Elizabeth walked Diane to the door.
"It's 12:15pm. I should be able to get them drawn up before the end of the day. Then I'll have them served to Lucky this evening. If not it will be first thing in the morning."
"If...if you can't find Lucky go to Mac at the PCPD. He'll find him for you especially if he finds out what Lucky has done." Elizabeth said biting her lip and looking down at the floor. Diane could tell she was nervous and looking at Jason he was surprised. She didn't think Elizabeth was going to go that far.
"Are you sure? It's one thing to force him to give you a divorce with this kind of information. It's another thing to do something like this. Lucky will lose his lob and a very good chance he'll go to jail."
"Yes I am done protecting him. I have paid my debt in full and I'm not obligated to him anymore. Will I be sorry it hurts the rest of the Spencer's who've been good to me yes, but I can't think of him? I need to think of what's best for Cameron and me."
"All right if that's what you want. I'll update on my progress." She said as she left as the door closed behind her leaving Jason and Elizabeth alone. Jason took Elizabeth by her hands and led her to the couch to sit them down.
"I know we need to talk and I want to but let me go check on Cameron. See if he's all right or needs anything." Elizabeth said kissing Jason lightly on the lips and then running up stairs to check on her son. Jason waited on the couch and a few minutes later Elizabeth came back down sitting beside Jason on the couch.
"Is he all right?" Jason asked
"Yes he's doing fine. Playing with his toys and off in his own world. Though he said he was hungry. I put him in bed to take a nap even though he refused to say he was tired. I told him after his nap we'd go and get something to eat together. He said he was happy you'd be coming with us. He should be asleep for a little over an hour. So what do you want to talk about first?"
"Why don't you tell me first what happened at Audrey's first than I'll tell you my news."
"All right, my Grandmother is disappointed in me. I thought she might not be happy with me but I never thought she'd take Lucky's side."
"She'd took Lucky's side? Did you tell her everything?"
"No I didn't. I didn't want to get into it there especially in front of my son. I thought she would have the decency not to either but I see I was wrong. I don't know when she became Lucky's fan and now thinks nothings his fault or responsibility. That it's my fault that he's on drugs, my marriage is falling apart and my son is essentially living with my grandmother. I'm beginning to think she's just like the rest of the family that I can do no right and if I don't do what they think I should do than I'm a failure."
"Oh Elizabeth come here baby." Jason said pulling her on to her lap as she wrapped her arms around his neck and layed her head on his should as she cried.
"Jason is this my fault? Is it my fault that Lucky's ended up like this? Was I not enough for him? The Spencer's are going to hate me for what I'm doing. He saved me after I was raped and I thought living for him would be enough." Elizabeth was going to continue but was cut off as she felt Jason's lips on her mouth kissing her. Pulling back he gently kissed her closed eyes and wiping away her tears. The affect Jason had on her. She just melted in his hands and leaning into his touch.
"Baby none of this is your fault. There is only one person truly to blame and that is Lucky. You didn't force him to get addicted to drugs or sleep with Maxi. It wasn't you fault that he cheated before with you sister. It wasn't your fault he tried to frame me. He chose to do those things. He's just like his father thinking he's entitled to everything and if things fall apart it's not their fault. There is someone else to blame. The only thing that's your fault is you living for him. He controlled you to or at least tried to. Seeing as you are as stubborn as you are it's hard that must have been hard for him." Jason smirking as he said that.
"Hey." Elizabeth said jabbing him in the chest.
"It's the truth and that's one of the reasons I love you. I don't want you to live your life for me. I want you to have your own life outside of me. Yes there will be changes including guards for you and Cam. Can you accept that?"
"Yes I can. I trust you with my heart my life and my son's life. I know you will keep us safe from your life."
"Thank you for your faith him. I really don't see how you could believe in someone like me or love someone like me. Quiet I wasn't finished." Jason said putting two fingers to her lips quieting her before she had a chance to respond. "I am talking a lot today but you have that effect on me. You always ask me what I want instead of just going along with what other people want. Well do you know what I want?"
"What do you want Jason"
"I want a family with you. I love both you and Cameron. I want to marry you. I know it can't happen yet but to let you know I do. I want to adopt Cameron he's already captured my heart. I would like you to quit your job at the hospital. Elizabeth I know you like working there and I know you love help people but you love art and painting as well. I know it's what you love to do and I remember your dream of opening your own art boutique. I won't tell you what to do. I will love and accept you whatever you chose. It's just that you decided to become a nurse because you needed money to take care of Cameron. Now you don't have to if you don't want to. I just want to give you options."
"Jason I love you. I don't think you know how much. Thank you for understanding I want to make my own decisions. I am willing to live here with you and my son without paying rent because we are living together as a family. That matters to me as for everything else I'll take it day to day. I do like my job but you're right I'm missed painting and I still have a dream of opening up my own gallery."
"Just promise you'll think about it."
"I will."
"Good. There's also something else. When I went over to Sonny's he was happy for us."
"He was?" Elizabeth asked a little surprised. Her and Sonny's relationship had changed since he faked his death and Ric. They'd used to be friends now they hardly spoke.
"Yes he is. He seems to have changed for the better since he's been on his medication. There's something else too. He's giving me the building."
"He's what?"
"Yes I was surprised as well. Though it was a good idea, now I can control who comes and goes from the building. I plan on cutting off access to the 18th, 19th and 20th floors limiting who has access to those two floors. The 18th and 19th floor will be just for the guards. The 20th floor and the roof will just be for us. I plan on renovating this floor and making it into one place. I also plan on turning the roof into a park so Cameron and our future children will be able to play outside without in worries."
"I don't think I've heard you talk this much about the future. You're always living for the moment, the here and now."
"Only when I'm with you am I truly able to think about or dream about a future and it's always with you." Jason lying down on the couch pulling her down with her, her head on his chest and their legs intertwined. Jason had seen how tired she was. It's been a long night and a long day. Elizabeth looked like she needed a nap and he'd take one if she was lying on his chest.
"I want to dream about the future. Will you dream with me?" She ask sleepily
"Yes we'll dream together." Jason said as he watch Elizabeth close her eyes and fade into slumber along with him a few minutes later. They slept dreaming together thinking about their future together until they heard Cameron voice and then eyes.
"Mommy, Jason it's time to get up. I'm hungry." The two year old said pulling up Jason's eye lids.
"Hi Cameron." Jason said smiling at the little boy
"Hi Jason. Mommy's still asleep. She likes to sleep." As they watched Elizabeth try to bury her head deeper in Jason's chest.
"I see. Cameron why don't you put away your toys and come back down, mommy and I should be ready to take you out to get something out to eat."
"Does I have to? I'm just going to get thems out again when we get back."
"Yes Cameron it's make you mom and I happy. We don't want to trip over your toys."
"OK. Do you promise to plays with me when we get back?"
"Yes I will play with you tonight. Now go put away your toys."
"Yeah." said the happy Cameron as he went upstairs to put away his toys.
"You are good with him."
"He's easy to love. Plus there's a bonus he's your son." Jason said kissing the top of her head.
"How long did we sleep?" she asked siting up and stretching.
"I'd say almost two hours. I think Cameron's been awake up stairs for a little over a half an hour."
"Why didn't you wake me up?"
"Cameron he was fine upstairs playing with his toys. Besides you had a long night and needed some sleep and I enjoy having you in my arms." Jason told her getting off the couch.
"My baby's probably starving. I would take him to Kelly's but I don't want to deal with anymore drama today."
"I know a nice dinner on the edge of town I think Cameron would like. You go get him and we'll eat there. We won't run into anyone we know there." Jason told her and Elizabeth went upstairs to freshen up get Cameron. As they came downstairs the newly formed family was about to leave opening the door and stopped. There in front of them stood an upset Emily and Nicolas.
