Jason kept looking at her, like he was searching for something. Anything that will calm him down. He wasn't mad, he just wanted the truth… and he wanted Elizabeth to say to his face. And instead of looking down at her feet, like he expected, she looked at him straight on.

"Elizabeth, just tell me the truth" he said.

"Why?! Even if I do, someone is going to get hurt! And most likely that someone is going to be me!" she said loudly, not enough to wake Cameron.

"So, you don't trust me with the truth? You know, I think I deserve it considering that I could've been the baby's father"

Jason heard Elizabeth mumble something under her breath. But he didn't quite catch it. Jason sighed and moved towards Elizabeth but stopped when he moved away. She never moved away from him.

"Can you please, just tell me the truth" Jason said in a soft voice. Elizabeth looked down at the hand that was placed on her little bump. Jason looked at her stomach and thought that could've been his child. When Jason didn't get an answer he turned to leave. Just as he was about to open the front door, Elizabeth spoke up.

"No. Lucky is not the father of this baby" Jason spun around and looked at Elizabeth who was staring straight at him. And she did something totally unexpected, she smiled.

"You are"


There. She said it. It was now in the open. Lucky isn't the father of her baby. Jason is. And now all she could do was look at the man staring at her while he stood behind her front door. She was terrified that he would just walk out the door and never comeback. But he did just the opposite.

Without breaking their gaze he walked over to her, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her to him. Her heart sped up as she felt his body against hers. And Jason did something very unexpectedly.

He held her.

As he held her, she felt her knees give out from underneath her. Jason must've noticed too, because he swooped her into his arms. He walked to the couch and gently laid her on it. He sat down next to her pushing the chocolate colored hair out of her face.

"You okay?" he asked huskily.

"You first" she replied. She was genuinely worried about him. And how this baby would affect them. Not that there was a them.

"How can I not be okay" Jason said "You're having my child" Elizabeth loved how he said my child.

"So, what do we do now?" Elizabeth asked. Jason just smiled.

"We get married"


Jason watched as Elizabeth's eyes widened as she sat up. He still continued to smile.

"Jason, did you just hear what you just said?" Elizabeth asked him.

"Uh, yeah" he said simply. Elizabeth shut her eyes and shook her head.

"Are you playing a joke on me? Because this is so not funny, Jason"

Jason took her face in her hands and gazed into her eyes.

"No, this is not a joke. I wouldn't do that to you. I'm dead serious. I think we should get married"

He watched Elizabeth as she tried to absorb this. He knew this would be complicated for her since her marriages before had fallen apart on her. Jason let go of her face and held onto her hands.

"Okay, okay" she said opening her eyes " IF we were to do this, and I am saying if, how would we make this work"

"Honestly," Jason said looking down then back up at Elizabeth " I have no idea. But I feel it somewhere inside me that we could make this work" Elizabeth stared at him through skeptical eyes. Then she smiled.

"Okay" she said.

"Okay what?" Jason asked and she just smiled even bigger.

"What are we waiting for?"


Jason, a sleeping Elizabeth and Cameron were on Sonny's private plane heading out of Port Charles. He only told Sonny about his and Elizabeth's plan, and she only told Jason's sister , Emily. Emily and Sonny had both taken a minute to register the information that they received. Emily was ecstatic and, well, Sonny was…worried.

"Are you sure about this Jason?" Sonny asked him.

"Yeah. I've never been more sure about anything" Jason said to his boss and best friend. He heard Sonny sigh on the other end.

"Do you love her?" Sonny asked bluntly.

"What?" Jason said totally off guard.

"Do. You. Love. Her?" Sonny said slowly.

"Of course I love her. She is the mother of my child-"

"You know what I mean, Jason"

"I don't know, Sonny"

Jason looked to his left and saw a sleeping Elizabeth holding a sleeping three year old Cameron. Jason still couldn't believe this was happening. They were going to be a family.

His family.

That's the one thing that scared him the most. That one of his enemies my find out that this was his family. And that they would take his family away from him.

Jason never really had a family, except for Carly, Sonny, and Emily. They were his family. And now, Elizabeth and Cameron would be his family along with Carly, Sonny and Emily.

Just then, Jason heard Cameron stir in his sleep. It took him a minute to wake up and realize where he was.

Cameron struggled to get out of his mother's embrace and when he did he ran straight for the window. Jason smiled as he heard the little boy gasp. Jason got up from his seat and walked over to Cameron.

"Hey buddy" Jason said lifting the kid as he sat him down on his lap.

"Daddy, are we in the sky?" Cameron asked looking up at Jason.

Daddy?

Elizabeth must've told Cameron that she was going to get married and he was going to be Cameron's dad. When Cameron said daddy it was like something came alive inside of Jason. The only other person who called him dad was Michael. And it's been a very long time since a child had called him daddy.

"Yeah, Cam. We're actually right above Italy. That's were me and you're mommy are getting married. Did you know the lights are supposed to be so special in Venice, unlike anywhere else in the world…"


Elizabeth's eyes fluttered open. It took her a second to realize where she was and what was happening. At first she thought she had dreamed the whole engagement thing but when she looked across from her she knew it was very real.

Cameron was sitting on Jason's lap wriggling around. Jason was tickling Cam senseless, and the little boy seemed to be enjoying it. Because not once did Cam tell Jason to stop.

Elizabeth slowly sat up and just stopped and stared at the man before her and the boy on his lap. Cameron was the first to catch her eye.

"Mommy! We're in Italy!" Cam said as he hopped off of Jason lap and ran to her.

"We are, are we?" Elizabeth said pulling Cameron onto her lap while she gave Jason a look. Jason just shrugged his shoulders.

"I thought it would be appropriate. Since you've always wanted to go to Italy" Jason said. Suddenly, the plane phone that was right next to Jason started ringing. Jason rolled his eyes and Elizabeth smiled. Jason answered the phone.

"Morgan." Jason rolled his eyes again and mouthed "Carly" to Elizabeth.

Now it was Elizabeth's turn to roll her eyes. Jason just smiled but winced when the voice on the other end got louder.

"Calry, slow down. Yes, I'm okay… I'm with Elizabeth, not that it's any of your concern…Yes, Sonny knows that I took the plane… Yes, Elizabeth is on the plane with me… We are going to Italy… Carly please stop yelling at me… Yes, I'm sure Lucky is very mad… No, I will not beat him up when I come back, even though I want to… Carly I said stop yelling… You know what I'm going to hang up now… Three, two, one" and Jason hung up.

On a very ticked off Carly, Elizabeth assumed. But Elizabeth just laughed as Jason shook his head. Even though she didn't like Carly very much, she still respected her. After all, she is Jason's best friend. And since her and Jason were going to be married, she might as well get used to Carly's crazy ways.

"I have to go potty!" Cameron said and with that he hopped off his mom's lap and ran back to the end of the plane. Elizabeth threw her head back and laughed.

When she stopped laughing, she looked at Jason. He was just staring at her with this look of fondness. Or was she just dreaming that? Jason got up and walked over to her, then sat down next to her. He placed his hand on her thigh. Her heart started thudding in her chest, and she prayed that he couldn't hear it.

Remember, this is a marriage of convenience. She reminded herself.
