Jason was feeling unsettled, nervous and impatient he had worries he never thought he would ever have. So now he didn't know how to handle it. His mind was in over drive and the nagging and whining he could hear was doing nothing but piss him off more.
Turning to face the annoying booty call, which he was really starting to regret getting involved with, "Will you shut the fuck up already!" His level of frustration hit an all time high and not in a good way either, "Go home! I have something to take care of"
Jason started moving towards the back when he heard Sam, "I'm pregnant"
He froze. Was she for fucking real? He questioned silently as he slowly turned to face her then voiced, "You don't really expect me to believe it's mine do you?"
Sam explained calmly, "I'm going to pretend you didn't mean that the way it sounded"
Jason mentally rolled his eyes getting agitated, "What do you expect? We aren't exclusive"
"Maybe not for you but I don't go sleeping around with just anyone" Jason's expression clearly proved he wasn't believing her but she continued anyway trying to make him understand, "Look, it's true! I haven't been sleeping around that's why I can prove it to you without a doubt. I've already booked in for a paternity test, so..." Searching through her handbag she found the card she needed, handing it to Jason she told him, "The details are on there, date and time. All you need to do is show up and the doctor will take a sample. I don't even have to be there with you"
Jason was furious with himself and with the dancer in front of him, "How the fuck could this happen? I always use protection"
Sam just shrugged, "it can happen some times" walking up to him she puts her hands on his chest, "Jason, this doesn't have to change anything. I don't expect anything from you that you aren't willing to give. I can raise this baby by myself" her hands moved slowly over his shoulders making their way around his neck, "Im one hundred percent sure it's yours, so once it's proven, you can always change your mind" leaning in to kiss his neck she adds, "I'll let you"
Jason grabbed hold of her wrists and told her, "We'll discuss this later, I need to get something done"
"Fine, you can ignore this all you want. But this is real Jason" turning to leave she says while walking out, "You better get used to it"
Once Sam disappeared Jason let out an angry growl, "Fuck!?" heading towards Dante's office to check on Elizabeth's personal details her curses himself, slapping his forehead with his palm, "Dick head" slap, "fuck!?" slap, "Why!? Why me!? another slap
"Because you only think with your dick" came from the other side of the room
Spinning around to find Max sitting in a corner Jason asks, "Where the fuck did you come from?"
"I never left" he informs his friend walking over to him. Once Max reached Jason he slapped him
"What the hell" he yells out rubbing his forehead, "Why'd you do that?" glaring back
"I didn't think you hit yourself enough times you moron"

Jagger was sitting next to Elizabeth when she questioned, "You don't trust me either, do you?"
"Elizabeth, of course I do. But I don't know what's going on. You really need to explain to me how you know Morgan" a knock interrupted, patting her on the thigh he says, "I'll get it" answering the door for Brenda to stroll in
Brenda noticed something was off with her friend and raced over to sit beside her, asking frantically, "Honey, what's wrong? What happened?"
Elizabeth responded, "You don't trust me? What the hell Brenda?" she stood getting disappointed the more she spoke, "Don't you think I can still go through with this?"
"Of course I trust you" proclaiming her innocence
"Then why did you call Jagger to come here?" She glanced at the man in question then back to Brenda, "I'll tell you the same thing I told him. I got caught off guard and didn't know what to say and I'm sorry. But it doesn't mean you both can't trust me to get the job done"
Brenda grabbed hold of Elizabeth's arm forcing her to sit back down, "I trust you with my life, we both do. We're partners. Your my best friend" at the sound of the man clearing his throat, Brenda looks up and rolls her eyes at him and continues, "And Jagger's best friend too. But this...umm situation, we don't know what's going on with you and Jason. We don't understand this"
Jagger butted in, "We were just getting to that when you got here"
Brenda looked back at Elizabeth, "So what's your story with Jason?"
"He's my ex"
Jagger spoke first, "Shit. We have to deal with a crazy ex boyfriend now"
"Ex husband"
Brenda didn't know what to say to that but, "ooh, well, ummm can't say I expected to hear that" Brenda explained, "He's certainly not someone I would ever picture you with but thats probably why he's your ex right?" shrugging a shoulder
"Fuck! How the hell did you end up marrying a mobster?" Jagger was dumbfounded
"He wasn't one when we met" Elizabeth's eyes narrowed in memory, "At least I don't think he was" she turned on Jagger, "By the way how the hell did YOU forget to tell me that I was working for him and Sonny 'fucking mob boss' Corinthos? I wouldn't have been caught off guard if you bothered to inform me"
"As far as I was told Dante is the boss and running things. I didn't know he didn't own the joint. His father comes in when ever" flinging his arm in the air, "so I didn't think much of that. And Jason" lifting a shoulder says, "Well he's just a regular that comes in all the time"
Taking hold of Elizabeth's hand Brenda asked sincerely, "How do you feel about all this?"
"I'm fine with it, it's been a long time Brenda. That's one thing you don't have to worry about. I can handle him"
"Yes you can but don't you think this could put a dent in our plans? Maybe we should change route, and come up with something else"
"No! We can't change anything" Elizabeth exclaims looking at Jagger, "we're too close now" she stood again and told both her friends, "We were paid to do a job and we need to get it done" adding, "This just makes it more personal for me now and I'll be damned if I don't get this done right"

"Moron?"
"I've got other words if you'd like to hear?"
"Watch it" Jason warned turning around to make his way to the office while his friend followed
"I warned you about that two bit tramp, I had a bad feeling about her" both taking a seat on either side of Dante's desk
Jason was searching through draws for the employees book, "Yeh, well...I might be stuck with her for years to come if I end up the father" slamming a draw shut, "Fuck! That's all I need" opening another draw
"We'll cross that bridge when it comes. But the real question is... Whats your story with Elizabeth and what the hell are you going to do about Sonny?"
Jason stopped searching to answer, "Fuck Sonny. I'm not going to kill Elizabeth on a maybe. Not for anything."
"I figured that...So? What's the story with you two?" watching his friend start his search again, spotting the book he was after. Jason flicked through pages looking for Elizabeth's details. "Well?"
Finding what he was looking for Jason inquired quietly to himself, "Elizabeth Hardy? Why would she use Hardy..."
"Will you tell me what's going on Jason, so I can help you?" Max demanded
Jason slammed the book closed after memorising her details, "Fine, but this stays between us"
Max nodded in agreement, "Of course"
"She's my ex wife" Jason informed
Max's eyes grew big, "Wife? Wow...who would have thought you, of all people would be married"
"What the hell does that mean?"
"Pfft" dismissing with a flick of his wrist, "You're a big man whore with no respect for women"
"That's not..." seeing Max raise his eyebrows, Jason deflated, "Yeh, ok. You're right. But I haven't met anyone that I was interested enough in to even think about a relationship let alone settle down with" he shrugs a shoulder
"But you did already. Elizabeth. Looks to me you did have her but lost her for some reason"
"That was a long time ago"
"So what happened?"
