Chapter 11

"Okay this certainly was not what I was expecting." Elizabeth said looking around the hotel suite that could only be called posh. She was kind of afraid to let the boys run free.

"This is Johnny's personal suite." Jason said looking around the spacious front room. The suite had to be about the same size as Sonny's penthouse back home. Johnny was rarely here, but he often allowed other family heads, and personal friends, use of the space like he was doing now. Normally they paid, Jason got to stay for free, just like Johnny stayed for free in Puerto Rico.

"Does he come often?" Elizabeth was guessing that at some point Jason would take them to Ireland, or Johnny would come back to Port Charles for a visit. She hoped to see Francis soon too.

"No, he has the same issue here that I have in Puerto Rico." Jason explained.

"Mommy." Cameron had been down the hall looking in the bedrooms.

"Yes?" Elizabeth wasn't surprised he wanted to explore. Cameron was a lot like her, a bit fearless. Hopefully that would be tempered by common sense as he got older. Jake had stayed in the living room with his arms wrapped around one of his dad's legs. In new spaces he tended to be cautious.

"There are flowers in the kitchen. There is an envelope on them." Cameron had spotted the bright red blooms on his way back. He couldn't read what the envelope said because it was in cursive.

"Probably a welcome gift from the hotel." Elizabeth said going to check out Cameron's find. The display was huge and smelled wonderful. There were a variety of flowers in a beautiful vase, but no roses. The envelope had her name on it. Jason was standing next to her with Jake in his arms grinning. "What?" She wanted to know.

"That's Johnny's handwriting." He recognized it instantly.

Elizabeth was grinning as she used a butter knife to open the sealed parcel. "Dear Lizbits." She started laughing. No one had called her that in years. "Welcome to Bermuda, I hope you and the boys have a great time. If you need anything the staff has been told to make sure you get it. If you get the urge to sketch there are supplies for you on the dining room table. I'd love a Webber original for the suite (hint, hint) but no pressure. Tell ugly to bring you to Ireland soon. Love Johnny." She was laughing harder by the end. "Is he happy?"

"He is, married life agrees with him." Jason told Elizabeth. She already knew about the wife.

"Em said that Chloe is a good fit with Johnny." Elizabeth had her own sources.

"Who is Johnny?" Cameron wanted to know.

"He is a good friend of daddy's." Elizabeth told her son. "And mine."

"He shouldn't send you flowers. Only daddy should give you flowers." Cameron said outraged on behalf of Jason. "You should tell him that daddy."

"I will mention it the next time we talk." Jason said trying not to laugh. "I think we should get changed and head down to the beach. How does that sound?"

"Fun." Cameron said already heading to the room he was sharing with Jake. He didn't say anything but he was glad they were staying together, being in a new place was a little scary.

"I wike the beach." Jake said feeling a bit sleepy. It had been an exciting morning.

"I'll take him." Elizabeth held out her arms and Jake didn't hesitate to come to her. "I can get them ready for the beach."

"Let me call down and get a cabana set up. After I'll finish up with the boys while you change." Jason suggested. He would change when she was done.

"Sounds good." Elizabeth was thinking Jake would nap a bit in the cabana. Cam could run around with Jason. Even though he could swim the six year old knew better than to go in the water alone. To do so meant the beach day ended immediately.

Jason watched her walk down the hall smiling before calling downstairs.

By the time Jason got in the room both boys were in their swim trunks. The Avengers for Cameron and The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for Jake. So he helped his sons put on sunblock, Jake laughed hysterically because he was extremely ticklish just like his mother. Cameron had a lightweight life vest that he wore at the beach. The water was too deep for him to go in without it. Both boys also had on water shoes to protect their feet from the hot sand. "I laid out your stuff on the bed." Elizabeth said coming into the room wearing a colorful cover up with her water shoes on. "We will wait in the living room."

"I shouldn't be that long." Jason said wondering what her suit looked like. He was also curious about the swim wear waiting for him in the bedroom. Elizabeth had mentioned picking up a few things for him. Jason owned several pairs of black board shorts so he didn't think he needed anything else. Looking at the assorted items he guessed he was wrong. Navy blue board shorts, a bright blue sleeveless swim top and water shoes were waiting. He knew she liked him in the color, and he was going to put on each item for her. "Okay are we all set?" He asked walking into the front room.

"We are." Elizabeth said taking him in. He looked sexy, and her smile let him know what she was thinking. "Do I need to bring towels?"

"No, they are in the cabana, along with four beach chairs. If we get thirsty or hungry there is waiter service downstairs." Johnny did his best to make sure his guests every needs were met. Jason had no shame in saying that he made changes at his resort after listening to Johnny talk about the amenities he offered.

"Let's go." Cameron was super excited. His mom buying that lottery ticket was the best thing ever. He couldn't wait to tell Spencer about this.

They got down to the beach and Elizabeth noticed Jake was back to blinking a bit owlishly. She was happy to see that the chairs were loungers and she took a minute to get the little guy settled. He would sleep for about an hour and then be ready to build sand castles or maybe dip his feet in the water. He didn't swim yet.

"After your brother finishes his nap, I have a surprise for you both." Jason told his son.

"What is it?" Cameron loved surprises, especially ones from daddy.

"Look down the beach." Jason pointed and Cam and Elizabeth did. "See all those flags?"

"Uh huh." Cameron didn't know why they were down there.

"That is a jet ski course. I signed us up to go out." He looked down at his son whose eyes were getting big with excitement.

"Like a race course?" Elizabeth wanted to know. She put her hand over her eyes so she could see better.

Jason made a mental note to get everyone sunglasses. "No speeding is allowed on the course. The fastest any of the machines will go is twenty-five miles an hour, and wearing helmets is a requirement. It takes thirty minutes to navigate the whole thing. When Jake is done napping we can all go."

"I can't drive a jet ski." Elizabeth pointed out.

"They have attached jet skis, so I'll be driving you'll be sitting next to me and we will each have a boy in front of us. The bikes all come with safety harnesses for small riders." Johnny took safety seriously.

"That sounds awesome!" Cameron exclaimed. He couldn't wait to go out.

"Yeah it does." Elizabeth had to agree. "Go play a bit, and I'll signal you when Jake is up."

"Sounds good." Jason would just have to wait until then to see her suit. Or not, he mentally corrected as Elizabeth pulled her cover up over her head. He was expecting a one piece, but she was wearing a bikini. A fairly modest one by today's standards, but it still showed a lot of skin. He was fighting off a hard on.

"I know." Elizabeth said a bit self-consciously. "The greens don't quite match. I got the pieces at an end of season sale a few years back. You have to buy everything as separates and I figured they were close enough. Its better when the suit is wet because they are both dark green then." Fortunately this was at the mansion so it hadn't been touched by the intruders.

"It's great." Jason finally managed to get his brain working enough to say. He was going to tell her he really liked it when someone behind him whistled and when he turned around some guy was smiling at his girl. Jason glared and the guy kept going.

"Can we go in the water now?" Cameron wanted to know.

"Sure." Jason didn't want to leave Elizabeth. Someone was probably going to try to talk to her. Maybe he should have brought some guards with them. "We'll be down by the water." He said still taking in all that skin.

"Okay, have fun. Stay with daddy." Elizabeth reminded their son before taking a seat and pulling a magazine out of her tote.

"Come on buddy." Jason said taking Cameron's hand in his and walking to the shoreline.

They splashed in the water and laughed the entire time. Jason chased his son up and down the beach, and took him out into the ocean keeping a firm hold on him the entire time. In the shallows they saw a few fish and Cameron was impressed that his dad knew them all. He liked having daddy to himself sometimes. When they went to the movies to see The Avengers it had been just the two of them, and after they had gone to the store to get these swim trunks, which Cameron wore to the next swim lesson after that day.

"Jake should be up by now. Are you ready to ride the jet skis?" Jason wanted to know.

"It sounds like fun. Do you like roller coasters?" Cameron asked out of the blue.

"Don't know." Jason answered grinning. "I've never been on one that I can remember."

"Really?" Cameron didn't understand how you could get to be so big and not have ridden a roller coaster. "I like them."

"Well then we will have to find one and learn if I do too." He would find out what amusement park was the closest to Port Charles. Looking over he saw his girl and their son building a castle. "That looks impressive."

Elizabeth just gave him a smile that said yeah right, but Jake lit up at the praise. "I think if we had water it would go better."

"We can all build a castle together after our ride. You guys ready?" Jason checked.

"We are." She stood up and brushed sand off her bottom before picking up Jake. Jason meanwhile glared at another guy who was paying too much attention to Elizabeth. Cameron hopped onto his father's back ready to set out for some adventure. "Will our things be okay?" There wasn't anything of value, but she didn't want their stuff taken.

Jason walked over to the bar and asked for a staff member to watch the cabana. This was another service the resort provided. He would get the name of the person and see that they got a tip. Coming back, with Cameron still on his back grinning wide at the piggyback ride, Jason told her it was taken care of and they set off for their adventure.

"They played hard." Jason said softly as they each carried in a sleeping boy. The family had spent most of the afternoon on the beach. It was both boys slumping over in the loungers that made them come in.

"Cameron and Jake both really love the beach." Elizabeth said putting Jake down on the bed. She had gotten off as much sand as she could before they came in. They would be leaving a nice tip for housekeeping when they checked out. "We go at some point during the summer, usually just for the day."

"From now on we will go for at least a week every year." Jason said laying down Cameron.

"They will like that." Elizabeth said as they walked out of the bedroom. "Afternoon naps are rare so we won't let them sleep too long. Ordering dinner in might be for the best. They are going to be cranky." And more than likely go to bed early.

"I would have paid for a vacation for you guys." Jason told her taking a seat on the couch. He was tempted to make out with her, but they didn't have time to finish that and he wasn't going through the next few hours frustrated.

"I was doing my best to not tip off anyone that we were together. While I can afford my house, a week away at the beach during the height of summer rental season would have looked suspicious." Elizabeth explained. She didn't regret the time they had spent keeping their relationship private, it was why they were such a strong unit. They had time to get this right without everyone putting in their two cents. Carly alone would have been a nightmare to deal with.

"Cameron wants to go to an amusement park this summer." Jason shared. "I'd like to make that happen."

"I love amusement parks, and the big ones have areas just for kids." Both boys were too short to ride anything outside the kiddie area. "They generally have water parks too, which will be a big hit." Elizabeth looked up at him. "I don't want you thinking you have to constantly take us places or buy us things. You've been a constant presence in both your sons' lives since they were born. They know they are loved." Guilt was not a burden he needed to carry.

"That's important to me. That they know I love them. I want them to know I love you too." Jason understood that the boys were learning how to treat the women in their lives by watching him. Cameron had a very bad example in Lucky, and Jason was going to work hard to show his son that was the wrong way to do things. Starting right now. "Will you marry me?" Jason asked her.

"Yes." Elizabeth said smiling. There was no need to overthink it, or to worry that he was doing it because he felt pressured. She knew he loved her, and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Jason had admitted that he was close to proposing when Sonny was killed. He had backed off because that wasn't the right time, when their world was in flux and Michael was so badly injured. She was glad he hadn't proposed then, just like she was glad he had now.

"I'd like to be married before we return home." Jason would happily give her a bigger ceremony at a later date.

"I'd like that too. I will need to get a dress." Elizabeth figured there were loads of boutiques on the island.

"The boys and I will get suits. The press is going learn of the marriage when Diane files the license." Jason warned her. Which meant they would be back in the news.

"Then we won't need to send announcements. We should call the family to tell them." Elizabeth suggested. It wasn't fair to blindside them.

"We can do that tomorrow." Jason couldn't wait to make Elizabeth his wife.

"Tomorrow sounds perfect." Elizabeth responded putting her head on his shoulder and enjoying the silence.

Thanks for reviews!
