Chapter Two
The sound of children's laughter and a mothers raised voiced filled the rooms downstairs. Chuckling Jason remembered the adjustment he had to make when Liz and her son's moved in with him. He had always been a guarded person but when they moved in his senses were heightened.
The man staring back at him in the mirror was a different Jason Morgan. No longer a lethal weapon, Jason had trained his replacement Cody to take the job as enforcer, the professional killer for the Corinthos organization. After the switch Jason took on a more administrative role in the business. He was working Monday through Friday, punching the time clock 9-5. Gone were the days of jumping off ships, leaping between buildings, running off to exotic locations, firing a gun. Jason's life was now composed of PTA meetings, soccer practices, Sunday dinner with Liz's grandmother, a normal, slow paced existence. Society dictated that the life he was leading now was what was expected of him but that didn't mean that he didn't miss his old life.
"Jase, can you please grab Cam's backpack on your way down."
Sighing Jason finished dressing then headed out of his room, Cam's backpack in hand.
"Jason!" Laughing Cameron launched himself at Jason.
"Good morning you." Ruffling his hair Jason then moved to the little blond haired boy seated at the table. "Jake, morning buddy."
Seated at the table Jason watched as Liz brought him a plate of food. "Morning Hun." feeling her kiss his forehead Jason gave her bottom an affectionate swat.
"Your black suite is at the cleaners. If you want to wear it to the charity ball tonight you will need to swing by and pick it up." Sitting next to him Elizabeth stared. "Do you think she will come back to town for the dedication?"
Jason knew exactly who "She" was, his ex finance Sam McCall. It had been years since Jason and Liz had talked about Sam, the subject was taboo.
"She may be, the home has been opened in the name of her brother. Sam loved Danny so there may be a chance that she will show up. But you don't have to worry about anything you are safe with me."
Nodding Liz quickly finished her OJ. "Time for school boys."
Watching Liz and the boys leave Jason knew it was time for work. Today he was going to be supervising a large shipment of coffee beans. Shaking his head Jason finished his breakfast then made his way out the door. Yes his life sure had changed he should have been happy he had the family he always felt like something was missing.
