(Elizabeth's point of view)
When Dr. Rhodes come in he was smiling. I wasn't sure if I should get excited yet. He suggested I called Jason. He said he has news for us.
"Jason can you come to the hospital?" I asked as he answered.
"What's the matter?" Jason asked clearly worried.
"I don't think anything is wrong. Dr. Rhodes just asked to speak with us both." I answered trying to calm him.
"I'll be right there." He said quickly hanging up.
It didn't take long for Jason to arrive. Dr. Rhodes came back in. He had something in his hand. He greeted us both. He was smiling.
"I have some good news." Dr. Rhodes said.
"What is it?" I asked anxiously.
"Cameron is doing so well we are ready to release him. The surgery was a complete success. We'll continue to monitor him closely for the next few months." Dr. Rhodes explained.
"Oh thank you so much." I said trying not to cry.
"Yes thank you for everything." Jason said shaking Dr. Rhodes hand.
"I'll have Cameron's release papers drawn up. And he'll be ready to go." Dr. Rhodes said as he left.
"Elizabeth we need to talk." Jason said in a firm voice.
"Sure I'll ask Chris to keep Cam company." I said.
"Let's go up to the roof." Jason suggested.
"Okay." I simply responded.
I felt nervous. I knew he wanted to talk. And we had to talk. I wasn't sure how this would go. My fears of him wanting the kids to live with him may come true. I couldn't blame him if he did after everything I had done to him.
"I talked with Cody and Elizabeth your house just isn't safe." Jason said.
"Oh um okay." I mumbled.
"You live in a busy street and there's just too much traffic." Jason explained.
"I guess I'll look into moving." I said.
"The safest place would be with me." Jason said.
"You want the kids to live with you full-time?" I asked trying not to get upset.
"Yes, I want them and you to stay with me." Jason answered.
"Me?" I questioned in complete shock.
"Yes you're in danger too. And our children need us both." Jason said.
"How long would we stay?" I asked not sure what to think.
"At least until I can find you a safer house and neighborhood." Jason answered.
"I guess we're moving in then." I said.
"Thank you Elizabeth." Jason said quietly.
"Will there be enough room?" I asked worried.
"Yeah you can have Brenda's old room. Cam and Jake are going to be in Spinelli's room. And Aiden and Emily will be in the spare room for now." He said.
"Where's Spinelli going to be at?" I asked worried.
"Sonny agreed that Spinelli and Maxie could move into his old place." Jason answered with a strange smile.
"Wow Maxie and I as neighbor's I never thought I would see the day." I said laughing.
"Liz we have the release papers ready." Steven said interrupting us.
"Thanks Steven." I said.
"Elizabeth do you want some help. I could come stay for a few days?" Steven asked.
"Actually we're moving in with Jason for a while." I said.
"Be careful Liz." Steven whispered.
"Guess what Cam?" I said as we entered.
"What Mommy?" He asked.
"You're getting out of here." I answered as he cheered.
"We can go home." He said excited.
"Cam we're going to stay with Jason for a while." I said.
"All of us?" He asked.
"Are you okay with that Buddy?" Jason asked.
"Yelp." Cam said happily.
Once we got to the penthouse we ordered pizza. It was so good to be with all four kids. I could tell Jason felt the same way. After dinner Chris and I went to my house. Jason went ahead and gave the kids all baths. I quickly got personal items and more clothes for all of us. Cody and a crew would be over to move the rest of our things. When I got back Emily was already asleep. Jason and I put the boys to bed together.
I told Jason I was tired too. He told me good night and then headed downstairs. I was sure he had work to do. It was so strange to be in the pink room alone. I had never been here without Jason.
I fell asleep feeling truly happy. I have no idea what will happen now. I do know if it's anything like this I'll be happy.
