Chapter 25 – Family Time
Jason got on the elevator with Milo and Claudia, who had her wig back on. She started laughing when Jason looked over at her a few times.
"Sorry." Jason said smiling. "The blonde wig just throws me."
Milo chuckled.
"What? Is it that bad?"
The elevator door opened. "Saved by the elevator." Milo said under his breath as Claudia grinned.
"I have dinner with the parents. I'll come by afterward and bring you some dessert if you want."
She smiled. "I love anything chocolate."
Jason nodded and went into the penthouse and ran upstairs to take a quick shower.
Elizabeth heard his door shut as she was putting on some light makeup. She really liked that her parents were around. Her siblings practically moved away the first chance they got but Elizabeth loved being around them.
About a half hour later, Jason knocked on her door.
"Come in." She yelled.
He slowly opened the door and walked inside. Liz walked out of the bathroom and smiled. "You look very handsome." She said smiling.
"You look beautiful as always." He said kissing her forehead. "Claudia is across the hall. We need to bring her back something chocolate."
Liz smiled. "Oh good. I'll just get my dessert to go to and eat it with her."
Jason was glad she was making friends. "I see you and Carly were getting along."
Liz tilted her head. "Does that bother you?"
"No, I would never tell you who you could be friends with."
"Well, it's important to me that we can at least tolerate each others friends."
"True. In that case, I apologize a head of time for OB."
Liz laughed. "Stop it. Seriously, I think Carly could use a friend and I do want to spend time with Michael. He's a great kid."
"He is and no I don't mind if you are friends with Carly. She probably could use a girl friend. I'll hash it out with her soon."
Jason had no intention of punishing Carly forever. He just needed some time apart from her.
Liz gave him a hug. "Let's go. I need to find out more Dylan gossip."
Jason's mouth dropped over as Liz grinned and opened up the door. "Well, are you coming or not?"
He slowly turned around. "I will make you pay for that later.
She laughed. "I'll count on it."

Jeff watched his daughter get off the elevator. She was grinning from ear to ear and Jason was shaking his head. He chuckled. "I think our daughter is going to give Jason a run for his money."
Andrea smiled. "They make a gorgeous couple. I think my grandkids are going to be stunning."
Jeff chuckled. "You're rushing it a little bit aren't you?"
"We're not getting any younger you know."
Elizabeth walked up to the table and gave her mom and dad a hug. Jeff shook Jason's hand and Andrea gave him a hug. They all got comfortable.
"Can I get anyone a drink?" Their waitress asked.
Jeff got some coffee. Jason interjected and told her what kind to give him and Jeff looked at him curiously. "So, are you that into coffee?"
"I run a coffee warehouse. I think you'll really like the blend."
"Their coffee is the best." Liz added.
"Although you are more of a hot chocolate person." Jason said smiling.
Liz smiled at him and held his hand. The waitress brought the coffee to Jeff and he sipped it. "That is really good. I wish we had this at the hospital. I swear they are trying to kill us in that cafeteria."
"Well that is why we always go to Crimson Lights." Andrea said.
Jason made a face and Liz laughed.
Andrea chuckled at Jason's jealousy.
"So Jason, what do you like to do for fun?" She asked.
Jason cleared his throat. "I like to travel and ride my motorcycle. I'm also very good at pool."
"Interesting, what do you ride?"
Jason rattled off the make of his Harley and Liz smiled as he and her dad got into an in depth discussion.
Andrea leaned over and whispered to Liz. "I like him."
Liz smiled. "I'm glad."
"So, do you think it will be serious?"
"Yes, I do. I'm crazy about him already mom."
Andrea smiled. "I'm so happy for you Elizabeth."
"You two aren't about to get all mushy over there are you?" Jeff asked.
Andrea chuckled. "You know me too well."
Jeff did know his wife well. If she could get away with it, a priest would be on the way. He looked up and did a double take. Jason followed his gaze and saw his parents. "You know my mom and dad?" Jason asked.
Jeff nodded. "I was briefly married to Monica."
Liz almost spilled her water. "What?"
"It was before I met your mother. I just don't talk about it much because she was more into your uncle then me."
Liz mouth dropped open. "Who are you?"
Jeff and Jason chuckled.
"Small world?" Jeff said making a face.
Monica and Alan walked over to the table. "Jeff, it's been a very long time."
Jeff stood up and shook Alan's hand. "It has. We came to visit our daughter Elizabeth." It was their turn to be shocked. "Alan and Monica this is my wife Andrea."
They shook hands.
"Well, we don't want to interrupt. Please, enjoy your meal." Monica said smiling.
They walked away.
"That was awkward." Liz said softly.
Andrea chuckled. "Well, as long as Heather doesn't show up, we're all good."
"Did you have to bring her name up?" Jeff asked.
"She's Steven's mom." Liz explained. "Dad apparently was quite the playa." She said saucily as Jeff choked on his coffee. Andrea patted him on the back as she laughed.
Jason smiled. Maybe the Webber family wasn't perfect after all and he liked that.
They had dinner and then Jason and Jeff walked out to the balcony.
"Jason, I like you. Elizabeth is my baby and I trust that you will take good care of her. "
"I will. She means a lot to me."
"I'm going to miss her being around but I think it's good for her to be on her own. Just try to keep her as safe as you can."
Jason nodded. "I'll guard her with my life."
For some reason, Jeff believed him.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Andrea took a sip of her water. "So, I take it that you'll be staying in Port Charles."
"I have to be with him mom. Of course, I'll go back to the hospital and give them notice and I'll have to pack up my things."
"We'll help you as much as possible."
Liz squeezed her mother's hand. "Don't be sad."
Andrea wiped a tear away. "I'm going to miss you Elizabeth. I hope you don't mind me checking up on you frequently."
Liz smiled. "I would love it."
Jeff and Jason walked back to the table. "Andrea….." He said looking at her wet face.
She chuckled. "Oh you behave."
Liz laughed as she watched Jeff and Jason chuckle.
"Would you like some dessert?" The waitress asked.
"I will need two slices of something sinfully chocolate to go." Liz said.
The waitress smiled and left.
"Tomorrow we're going on a boat tour." Andrea said smiling.
Liz grinned. "That sounds like fun."
"You want to join us?" Jeff asked.
Liz looked over at Jason.
"I'd have to insist that Francis accompany you." He said quietly.
"That's fine." Andrea said.
Jason was bummed he wouldn't be able to go.
"The next time we come, we'll plan ahead and then maybe Jason can join us."
Liz smiled. "That would be nice."
The waitress brought the desserts to the table. Jeff tried to tell her to put it on his tab but Jason wouldn't hear of it and paid.
"Jason, thank you for dinner and I looked forward to getting to know you better." Jeff said shaking the enforcer's hand.
"It was nice meeting both of you. I hope you have a great time tomorrow." Jason said nicely.
They parted and Jason, Francis, and Liz went back to the car.
"I hope you weren't bored." Liz said.
"Not at all, your dad is nice and he knows a lot about motorcycles."
Liz smiled. "I need to go back soon and give my notice and pack up my apartment. My mom said she'll help."
"Well, hopefully I can go with you."
"That would be nice."
"Maybe you can talk to someone in HR and they can get things moving."
She nodded. Port Charles was now her home.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Claudia opened the door. "Hey."
Liz and Jason came inside. "Is everything okay?" Jason asked.
"Yes, it's fine. Thank you again." Claudia said.
Johnny walked into the room. "Hey guys."
Liz smiled. "Hi. If I had known you'd be here, I would have brought you dessert too."
Johnny smiled. "It's okay. I'm good."
Liz checked Claudia out. "Your coloring is looking better."
She smiled. "Milo is doing a great job and I'm taking my vitamins."
"Jason has a gym in our apartment. We could work out together in the mornings."
"That would be great."
"Besides, we'll need to work out after this dessert." She said handing Claudia a fork and a container.
She opened hers. "Yum."
Jason and Johnny sat there smiling at them as they moaned over their dessert.
"Heavenly." Claudia said taking a second bite.
"I'm definitely in love." Liz said tasting it again.
"Think of what we could get them to do if we just dangled a piece of it in front of them." Johnny said.
Jason chuckled. "If I'm ever in the doghouse, I'm going to have to remember to bring some of that home with me."
Liz rolled her eyes. "If you do something that bad, you'll need more than that."
Claudia smiled at the look on Jason's face and then collapsed back against the cushions. "That was delicious."
Liz smiled and put the containers back in the bag.
"David will come by 9:30 a.m." Jason said.
Claudia grinned. "That's great."
Liz chuckled. "I'm bummed I won't get to meet him."
"I'll make sure it happens eventually." Claudia said.
"Does David work at General Hospital?"
Jason shook his head. "No, he runs a clinic in town. A lot of the services are free so it really helps out the community."
Liz nodded. "That sounds really interesting."
"Maybe we can have him over for dinner one night and you two can talk." Jason said.
"I would like that."
They stayed and talked to Claudia for another hour and then headed back to their place and went to bed. They both had a lot going on the next morning.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
Jason went into his office and sat down. Max called and gave him a report on Sonny. He hung up the phone and suddenly realized that there were less stacks on his desk. Gia walked into the room. "You have a meeting at 10:30 with the union reps. There is a shipment coming in at 2:45 and you need to sign these when you get a chance." She said placing a folder in front of him.
Jason looked up at her perplexed. "What happened to all the invoices?"
Gia smiled. "I entered them in the system and reconciled them. We're good."
Jason smiled. "I think we are going to get along perfectly."
Gia chuckled. "Well, it's nice to be appreciated." She said before walking out.
Jason picked up his phone. "Did you do what I asked?"
"Yes, we'll be arriving shortly." Francis said smiling.
"Thanks!"
Francis parked the car and Liz hopped out before he could open the door. "Elizabeth, you can't do that."
"Oops, I forgot. Sorry."
He looked around and saw her parents walking towards them. Andrea looked worried.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"There was a problem with the boat that we were going to take."
Francis pretended to make a call. "Thanks Harry, I really appreciate it."
Liz looked up at him curiously.
"Another boat is on the way." Francis said.
"Just like that?" Andrea asked.
Francis smiled. "Yup."
Andrea and Liz started chatting away and Jeff pulled Francis aside.
"Jason arranged something didn't he?" He asked skeptically.
Francis chuckled. "Don't tell the girls."
Jeff shook his head. His eye caught a movement and there was a really nice yacht coming around the bend.
"Holy smokes that's beautiful." Andrea said.
"It's stunning." Liz said.
To their surprise, it docked right in front of them. A man came out and greeted them. "Hello everyone. I'm Harry and I will be your tour guide."
Liz smiled. "Really? We get to go on that?"
"I kid you not." He said holding out his hand.
Liz looked at Francis who nodded and she took his hand and he helped her onto the deck. He did the same with Andrea and then Jeff and Francis got in.
"Why don't I give you a tour?"
Andrea and Liz grinned and followed him. Jeff leaned over to Francis, "Tell Jason I said thank you."
"You'll get to tell him yourself. He's joining us for lunch."
Jeff chuckled. Jason was sure to get some brownie points for doing all of this.
IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI
There was a knock on Jason's door.
"There's a James Craig here to see you." Milo said before he mouthed FBI.
Jason nodded and sat back. Well this was not how he saw his day going. He watched James walk in and sit down.
"Mr. Morgan, we finally meet."
"Are you the one that saved Johnny and OB?"
James nodded. "I am. Are they doing well?"
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
James smirked at Jason's attempt to get rid of him faster. "Congratulations on your promotion. I trust the citizens of Port Charles are safer with you at the helm."
"Hopefully…."
"I'm not after you Jason."
Jason looked at him warily.
"I want Anthony. He's a loose cannon. I'm sure you don't want him anywhere near Elizabeth even though his intentions are to have her join his family."
"We don't know where he is right now."
"He disappeared I heard. We think we might have a lead on his whereabouts. We're monitoring the situation. What I need is for you to stay out of it." James said.
"I really have no problem with staying away from him as long as he doesn't strike first."
"I understand."
"Who killed Taggert?" Jason asked curiously. He thought he had a good idea but he wasn't sure.
James shrugged. "We're still not sure. They were good at covering their tracks but we think it might have been the Alcazars in retaliation for Taggert's sloppy shooting."
"Could have been." Jason said nonchalantly. He was actually convinced it was Luis. His disappearance the day they left was sketchy.
"We have some intel that Johnny brought a woman back with him from Italy. You wouldn't happen to know her identity?" He asked knowing that Jason wouldn't admit to anything.
Jason shrugged. "Maybe he met someone. We're not really that close."
"Then why was he at the Towers last night?"
"He and Elizabeth bonded. He was checking up on her."
James smiled. "How nice of him." He said standing. "I'll be in touch."
Jason watched him walk out not sure what to think. Having the FBI around was not a good thing at all.
