Three days later Liz is over at the Quartermain Mansion with Lila.
"Liz dear, why I wanted you hear is, there is a secret that most don't know about the Morgan women. It's time to pass it on to the next Morgan woman. That is you. Jason might have been a Quartermain by birth, but he is a Morgan by heart, that makes you a Morgan woman.
Now, I brought this so you could see." Lila state flipping open a photo album.
"This is my great grandmother Arianna Morgan. She was this beautiful woman, full of life. Everyone loved her. They thought she was this precious angel that should be put on a pedestal." Lila states. She flips the page.
"This is my mother, Rosemarie Morgan. She was this beautiful creature too." Lila explains. Liz looks at Lila.
"My point is, the Morgan men all find someone that everyone thinks is this angel, that should be treated as if she were glass and could break. That was the persona they gave off to the public, but in the privacy of their own house, everyone knew who ruled the roost so to speak. I was raised the same way. To the outside world, I was this precious flower and Edward was this big gruff person. No one could understand what I was doing with him." Lila flips to another page.
"This was me and Edward on our wedding day." She states. Liz looks at the picture and smiles.
"Yes, Jason looks a lot like his grandfather did as a younger man. Many a women were after Edward and he did wander in his younger years. Everyone thought I was this docile wife that didn't know what was going on, but I did. I wasn't stupid. It's just at that time, it wasn't spoken of. Women were made to be the silent partner. So to the public that was what I was. In the privacy of our house though, Edward knew that I knew of his wanton ways. He knew I knew about the other women. There was a time, we even slept in separate bedrooms. See Liz, the times are so different now then they were back then. There was no such thing as divorce. To divorce was sacrilegious. You didn't do that. When a woman pledged to love a man forever it was to love them, cherish them and obey them.
In today's society, divorce is nothing anymore. Look at Monica and Alan and how many times they've been divorced and gotten back together." Lila states. Liz nods.
"I guess what I'm saying is, Jason is like his grandfather in many ways. Now, he dotes on you, I don't ever see him having the wanton ways that Edward had, but he also is very strong headed, and sort of piggish like Edward is. There will be times he does or says something that will make you mad. There will be times he tests your love for him. But Liz, you do love him, you do cherish him. With him, you have to have a strong heart but also a soft heart. You have to know when to be strong and when to step back and let him go. I tried to have this conversation with Monica when her and Alan got married the first time, but it never worked. Her and Alan are different then Edward and I were. You and Jason, are just like us. Jason being the strong, pig headed male, you as his conscious, as his heart, and as his backbone. You need to use the hold you have over my grandson for good." Lila stops and pulls out a folder.
"Now on to the business aspect of why I wanted this meeting." She pauses.
"Elizabeth, I know you love to paint. I want you to continue it. With Jason as your husband, he will provide for you, so you can go for your dreams. Now, every artist needs to be able to see some true art. In that aspect, here is a deed to house in Florence. My mother wanted to be an artist just like you and Dad wanted her to fulfill her dreams. He bought this place for her, and they did spend some time there after they were older and all us kids were gone. They loved it there. Now, it's yours and Jason's place." Lila tells her.
"Lila, we have a place in Tuscany. The Vila we stayed at when we were there Jason bought for us." Liz states.
"Well that is on the south side of Florence if I'm not mistaken. This one is on the North side. Liz, enjoy the place." Lila states. Liz nods.
"Ok, the next thing I want to talk about is, the trust. The trust is 50 million. Now Jason has already tried to tell me that you guys don't need the money, but for me, do something good with it. Start a youth center, an unwed mom's home, a homeless shelter. Just do something with it. They money has been sitting for years not being used just collecting interest. It's time to do something with some of it. It's up to you and Jason what you want. Have your lawyer get in contact with mine, they will take over getting the trust signed over to you." Lila states handing Liz some papers. Liz nods.
"Ok, now down in Napa California, there is the Morgan Vineyard. That will go to you guys too. There is also a house in Maine and one in Florida. These were all Morgan houses that I ended up owning. Now I'm handing them to you and Jason. Also there is some jewelry that I want you to have. It was Morgan family jewelry that I think you would appreciate the most." Lila states as she rings a bell. Reginald walks in.
"Can you go get the Morgan family Jewels Reg?" She asks.
"Right away." He states backing out. Liz smiles.
"Liz dear, as much as I love my family, you are the one that deserves to live the life of a Morgan woman. You have chosen my grandson, and let me tell you, it's not going to be easy. He surrounded himself with some very spoiled and selfish people that will try making demands. It will be up to you, to remind him that he deserves more then being their lap dog." Lila tells her. Liz nods.
"Things with Sonny and Carly are tense already. Jason has pretty much severed his ties to both of them. Mama and Papa have helped with that. Showing him how a real family works has made him realize that's what he wants. He doesn't want what he was going to have with Sonny and Carly. I know that as long as Carly is alive, she will do whatever she can to try and be involved with Jason. She thinks she owns him, but the more she pushes, the more he backs away. I know she thinks it's my fault." Liz states. Lila nods.
"The thing about Caroline is nothing is ever her fault. Just don't let her get to you. You are the one he loves; you are the one that he pledged to love forever. As long as you remember that, no matter what Caroline, or Michael Corinthos do, they will not be able to break you two up. He may need to be reminded of it, sometimes though." Lila states. Liz nods just as Reginald walks back in with a jewelry box. He sets it down on Lila's lap. She opens it up and starts pulling out some jewelry.
"This was my mother's wedding ring from my father." Lila states with a smile.
"This was the very first piece of jewelry that I received from my father that wasn't a kid piece. He gave this to me for my 16th birthday." She states pulling out a diamond-incrusted necklace. She hands it to Liz.
"The rest of this is hand me down stuff from the Morgan women. I will let you go over it in your own time." Lila states closing the box and handing it to Liz. Liz nods and takes it gratefully. The continue talking for awhile and Liz listens carefully to Lila's wise advice about marriage and child rearing. Soon the door opens and Jason walks in.
"I called Milo and he said you were here. How about we hang out here for awhile?" He asks. Liz nods. He walks over, leans down and gives Lila a kiss on the cheek.
"Grandmother." He states.
"How are you doing today?" Lila asks.
"Just fine now that I'm with my two favorite girls. How about I get Milo to bring the car around and we go out to lunch Grandmother. After all we must feed baby Morgan." Jason states with a grin.
"That sounds wonderful." Lila states.
"Ok where do we want to go?" Jason asks. Liz shrugs her shoulders.
"How about Kelley's dear. It's been so long and I hear good things about it now." Lila states.
"What do you think Liz?" Jason asks her.
"That's fine I needed to touch base this week with Tammy anyway." Liz states.
"Ok, I'll go have Milo pull the car around. Grandmother have Reginald get you ready and I'll help you get into the car. Liz, just be the beautiful woman you are and get that fine ass in the car for me." Jason states with a grin.
"What? You aren't gonna carry me to the car? Why did I marry you?" Liz asks joking with him.
"Umm, cause of my hot, sexy body, and the fact I'm rich?" He asks with a grin.
"Ah I knew there was a reason." Liz states standing up and giving Jason a kiss. Lila laughs.
"You guys are so adorable. I swear you guys are so much like Edward and I were, always joking with each other but so deeply in love that no one will be able to break it up." Lila tells them as Liz goes to get Reginald. Jason smiles.
"Thanks Grandmother. Now, we have to go so we can beat the crowd." Jason tells her.
"Just let me get my coat and bag. I get to go out. REGGIE BRING ME MY COAT AND BAG!" Lila calls excited. Liz laughs at her. Reginald comes down.
"And where am I taking you Miss Lila?" He asks.
"You aren't. My grandchildren are taking me to Kelley's for lunch. Now if you'll excuse me." Lila starts to wheel herself away from Reginald. Jason stops her.
"Grandmother, your coat. It's chilly out there." Jason states as he takes it from her. She leans forward and he helps put it on. Soon he's wheeling her out to the limo. He sees Liz in and all the way over to the other side.
"Ok Grandmother, do you want me to just pick you up and set you in the car?" He asks.
"Please, that's fine. You won't drop me." She tells him patting his cheek. Jason nods as he leans down. She wraps her arms around his neck and Jason picks her up. He gets her situated in the car.
"Ok, let me put the chair in the back then I'll go get in on the other side. Liz, if you would slide over for me." Jason states. Liz nods and slides over next to Lila. Soon Jason is in. Milo pulls away and Jason smiles.
"I'm such a lucky man, to have such good looking women with me." He states grinning. Liz slaps his arm.
"You are such a dork. What would all your enemies think of the big bad Jason Morgan now?" Liz asks with a smirk.
"Let them say what they want. They mess with my family, they die. That's all there is to it." Jason states grinning. Liz laughs.
"Soon Milo is stopped outside Kelley's. He gets out and opens the door for Jason. Jason steps out and walks to the trunk to get Lila's wheelchair. Liz steps out. Soon Lila is situated in her chair and Jason is pushing her.
"Mr. Morgan, I'll go park the car and be right in." Jason nods. Liz opens the door to Kelley's and Jason wheels her in.
"Where would you like to sit Grandmother?" Jason asks.
"Someplace away from the door dear it gets drafty." Jason nods and wheels her to a table closer to the kitchen. Liz sets her stuff down.
"Be right back. Gonna check in with the girls, see how some of the newbies are doing." Liz states.
"Careful in the kitchen, don't want you to slip." Jason states.
"I will be, Grandmother, what would you like to drink? I'll bring it with me." Liz states.
"An iced tea is fine dear." She states. Liz nods. She heads back to the kitchen to check in.
"This place is looking nice Jason. You must be proud of Liz." Lila states.
"I am. When Carly was running this, it was a trash heap. It took Liz 2 weeks to get things half way squared away and it's still tight money wise yet." Jason states.
"She's a hard working woman. You got a good one with her." Lila states as Liz comes out carrying a glass of water and an Iced Tea. She comes and sets them down.
"You want coffee Jason?" She asks.
"Sit, I'll get it." Jason states. Liz nods and sits down. Soon Jason is back. Penny comes out to take their orders. Liz, Jason and Lila talk for a few minutes when the door opens. Jason instinctually looks up and groans. Liz looks up and sighs.
"Jayson, so nice to see you." Carly states coming over.
"Lila, how wonderful to see you out." She tells Lila.
"Thanks dear, my grandchildren decided to treat me to lunch today." Lila states pleasantly.
"And they brought you hear? Jayson why not the PC Grille?" She asks.
"Because Caroline Dear, I suggested here." Lila answers. Liz smiles as Penny comes out with their food. Liz digs in to hers being starved. Lila picks up her burger and takes a bite.
"Elizabeth dear, this is wonderful. The food is delicious. You must be so proud of it." Lila states setting her burger down and daintily wiping her mouth.
"It's getting there." Liz states eating some of her chicken salad. Jason munches on his burger and smiles watching Carly silently fume.
"I swear I don't understand why momma let you run this place. You know nothing about running a diner." Carly mumbles. Liz laughs hearing that remark.
"Carly, I was running this diner long before you. Now why don't you be good, and run on home to your son. Oh that's right, Jason don't come running when you call him anymore. That reminds me, Jason, I'm having Mom check you for a tracking device." Liz states. Lila hides her grin behind her napkin using the excuse that she needs to wipe her mouth.
"Listen you little bitch, just because you think you have him now, doesn't mean you will have him forever." Carly demands. Liz laughs as Lila speaks up.
"Actually, him being a Morgan man, he chose to marry her, that means it's forever. Morgan men tend to only marry once. So Caroline, why don't you run along so I can finish my dinner without getting heartburn dear." Lila states. Liz laughs out loud at Lila's insult. Carly looks at Lila.
"How would I give you heartburn Lila?" Carly asks.
"Why dear, don't you know, you need good mood to eat, it helps your digestion and you obviously have a problem with my new grand daughter. With her being pregnant she doesn't need the stress either so would you please leave, before I ask that nice young man, Milo, I think his name is, to come remove you." Lila states. Carly huffs.
"Why Lila, I've never heard you talk like that to anyone before." Carly demands. Lila laughs.
"My dear, I wasn't always this nice, gentle, quite woman. I am married to Edward after all. That's why Liz is great for my grandson. She knows when to speak and when not to and she knows how to act like a lady in public but is probably a wildcat in bed. Am I right Jason dear?" Lila asks. Liz turns beat red as Jason grins.
"So right Grandmother. I have zero complaints in that department of our marriage. Granted right now with her pregnant, I'm not pushing her to do too many wild and crazy things. Don't want to hurt the baby but still don't have any complaints." Jason states with a grin as Liz tries to crawl under the table. Carly looks at them.
"How can she be wild in bed? She's so mousey and muffin faced. I bet you have to close your eyes to sleep with her." Carly demands. Jason laughs.
"Well Carly, if you must know, there isn't much actual sleeping that goes on in our bedroom but yes, when we sleep, our eyes are closed. Aren't everyone's?" Jason asks. Liz breaks out laughing.
"Carly, haven't you humiliated yourself enough yet? Just go, I bet Sonny is ready for another round on the Carly train. Go give it to him. After all, the only way you know how to survive is on your back." Liz states starting to get upset with Carly.
"Why you little muffin faced bitch." Carly starts and Jason breaks it up.
"OK! ENOUGH! Carly, leave, you are not welcome here anymore. I will make sure the guards know NOT to let you anywhere near anyone in my family and you can bet, I will be going to Monica and telling her to get Michael away from you before you screw hip up badly. He's still young enough we can counteract all the damage you've done to him so far. You will NOT be using my nephew as a pawn in your sick life. If Sonny wants to be with you and have you pop out a million of his demons that is his choice, but since AJ isn't here, it's time for me to be the good brother for him and make sure his son grows up to be a good, mature adult. Now, MILO!" Jason calls. Milo comes over.
"Yes, Mr. Morgan?" He asks.
"Carly is leaving. DO NOT let her anywhere near my family again and make sure all the other guys know it too." He states.
"Right away sir." Milo states. He starts leading Carly away.
"This isn't over yet muffin." Liz laughs.
"Anytime Carly babes. Not sure what a day would be like without you screaming how I'm to blame for your entire life being horrible." Liz calls after Carly smiling.
"Sorry about that Grandmother." Jason states.
"Nonsense, that was the most fun, this old lady has had in years. Makes me feel young and spry again. We must do this again. Now I need to get home before Edward comes home and sees me gone. He tends to worry about me." Lila states smiling.
"That's because we all love you and he loves you the most. Come on, let's get you home. I think I want to take Liz home myself and have some alone time." Jason states. Liz laughs.
