A/N: Sorry, it's been so long! I hope some are still interested. Reviews and feedback are always appreciated!
Alexis nodded at the younger woman as she ran towards Jacob's room. And that is exactly where Alexis ran from; into the elevator down to the parking garage, out to her car. Once she was safely in the vehicle she allowed herself to breathe. It came out in short spurts and she swore she was going to pass out. So she closed her eyes and counted to ten. She had just kissed Jason Morgan...Jason Morgan, ex to her daughter, cousin to her ex, her daughter's father's best friend...and it was wonderful, amazing and she didn't want him to stop. And now it was playing on repeat in her head over and over again.
Jason stood there; silent...the world around him muted. He watched Michael and Morgan coo over Jacob. Sonny looked at him a strange emotion in his eyes. Part of him wanted to run after her, part of him was stuck to the ground. She was Alexis...Sam's mom, Sonny's babies mom, Ric's babies mom...and all he wanted to kiss her over and over again.
He was about to go; about to ask Sonny to watch Jacob...his mouth moved to open and the door swung wide as Emily bounded in her mouth in a wide smile and speaking a mile a minute.
"Liz is awake"
His heart stopped for a full second or two as the adrenaline kicked in and a wide smile came to his face. Then he looked around and remembered the person he wanted to tell wasn't there.
"So, can we see her"
Emily nodded, "she asked about Jacob"
"Let's go" he said feeling a surge of happiness as he grabbed his son's carrier.
Sonny watched him go; something was off...and something was definitely going on with his best friend and Alexis...and he didn't like it one bit.
Alexis arrived home to the squeal of, "MOMMMY!" and Kristina jumping into her arms.
"Hey baby cakes" she said kissing the top of her head.
"Where is Jason and the baby?" she said her hands perched on her hips.
Alexis sighed forgetting that Jason promised to bring the baby by for Kristina to meet, "I am sorry honey, Jason had a little emergency...the babies mommy woke up from being sick; so he won't be coming by today"
Kristina pushed out her bottom lip, "okay"
"What do you say we have a girl's night in...order some pizza, watch Princess Bride, Ice cream sundaes"
A bright smile broke out, "inconceivable!" she said before running off.
She let out a sigh...she had to keep her mind off of Jason.
Jason walked slowly into the room; Liz had been obviously crying.
"Are you okay?" he asked in that simple way he always had.
"Emily told me everything...I just...never wanted to hurt anyone like I have" she said.
He nodded, "I know" he said while pulling their son out of his carrier.
"He's beautiful" Liz said the tears streaking down her face.
Jason laid him next to her, "he is...I named him Jacob Alan Webber-Morgan; I hope you don't mind"
"I like it" she said touching her hand to his little one.
They sat silently marveling over the life they created until Epiphany walked in.
"I am sorry guys but visiting hours were over hours ago, and we need to run some tests...you can come back bright and shiny in the morning"
Elizabeth nodded, kissing her son on the forehead, "go to Daddy" she said tearfully.
"I will bring him back first thing in the morning, okay?"
She nodded and Jason walked out towards the elevator remembering he had somewhere to be.
Two slices and a half an hour into the movie there was a knock on the door. Alexis got up and opened it and there he was.
"JASON!" Kristina cried running over.
"The baby" she said kneeling down.
Jason smiled, "his name is Jacob"
"He is so cute, can I hold him"
He looked around seeing the pizza box, and Alexis not talking, "I don't want to interrupt; I just"
Alexis spoke next, "no, come on in...there is plenty of pizza" she said their eyes interlocking for a few long moments.
"Sit down, okay here" he said putting Jake in her arms.
She practically squealed with delight.
"I'm sorry if I am interrupting" he said turning to Alexis.
"Your not" she said a nervous smile plastered on her face.
Neither looked at each other as they spoke; their eyes glued to the children in front of them.
"You left so quick"
"How is Elizabeth" she said in her best attempt to deflect.
"Fine, as well as to be expected"
"She is lucky to have you"
"She has a lot of people; not just me"
She stayed quiet and he used the opportunity to speak again, "back at the hospital the ki-"
"It's okay, don't...no big deal"
"To you or me?"
She was getting flustered, "both of us"
"I wanted to kiss you" he said saying the word low so Kristina wouldn't hear.
"What" she asked the words shaky this time.
"I have for awhile; I should have told you"
"Jason I..."
"If you don't feel the same"
She sighed, "I do"
"Okay"
Jake started to gurgle, "mommy look he is talking!" Kristina exclaimed.
Jason picked him up, "hey buddy, you hungry"
"Mommy can Jason and Jacob stay for the movie and ice cream" the little girl asked.
Alexis looked to him and then back to her daughter, "if Jason wants to"
"Do you Jason?"
"Sure Krissy"
"Good, I will go get the bowls"
As she ran off Jason sat Jake back in the carrier and looked at Alexis.
"This is weird" she said.
He just smiled that little boy smile that had gotten her in this mess in the first place.
"JASON" Kristina shouted from the kitchen.
And he walked by her almost as if he was going to pass and then put his arm around her and kissed her again.
He pulled away, "coming Krissy"
Alexis stood there and looked at the boy in the carrier, "you didn't see that"
