Chapter 25

"What's up Sonny?" Jason said as he approached Sonny.

"One of our shipments were intercepted." Sonny handed him a paper documenting what was in the shipment. "Someone is trying to make a point. With Alcazar gone his property is available and it looks like someone is looking to move in on our territory. Do you think it could be Johnny Z?"

Jason shook his head and ran his pointer finger across his bottom lip, "I don't think so, for some reason I believe his word."

"I need you to find out who is behind this." Sonny ordered. "Set up a meeting for us to meet with Skye, she controls Alcazars holdings… if she is not behind this then she may know who is."

Jason nodded as they started walking out of the warehouse.

"Are you ok? I heard about what happened outside after the wedding." Sonny asked.

"Yea, Lucky is an asshole but hopefully he got the hint, I'm not going to be so nice next time."

"And Elizabeth?"

Jason smiled, "She hit Sam, pretty hard." He said almost proudly.

Sonny laughed, "Maybe you two are perfect together."

"Umm, just to let you know Sonny, we are engaged." Jason stated awkwardly.

Sonny's eyes widened, "Wow, you do move fast, damn."

"We've been friends for close to ten years, that's not fast Sonny."

Sonny nodded, "Well you are like a brother to me Jason, I want to see you happy and wish you the best." He suddenly flashed a dimpled smile, "Can I tell Carly."

Jason smiled and shook his head, "You guys are funny… Elizabeth already asked if she could."

"Well, let's see who gets to her first."

---------

"Robin?" Elizabeth called as Robin stepped off the elevator. "They need you for a consult in 532."

Robin walked up to the nurses station. "Thanks… oh and Em told me we are having a girls night out tomorrow night. I can't wait, I need one!"

"Me too, it has been way too long." She replied as she was Emily walking up out of the corner of her eye. "Hey Mrs. Cassadine, we were just talking about Jakes tomorrow night."

"Yea, I can't wait. This week has been so busy that it will be nice to get a night out." Emily said with a sigh. "I still need to go shopping for honeymoon clothes."

"Yea, why are you waiting to leave on your trip till the 2nd?" Robin asked.

"Well, everything happened so quick it was hard to get off work, plus with Christmas and Spencer and all that… it just made sense to wait a week." Emily explained.

Robin made her famous 'that makes sense' face. "How were both of your Christmases?"

Before Elizabeth could answer Emily went on and on talking about Spencer and all of the presents that Santa had brought him. "How about Cameron and Jake?"

"Oh they both got so much, Jason… err.. Santa got Cam a motorcycle, that was the highlight of his day.

Before Liz could go on Epiphany walked over and cleared her throat to make her presence known. "Do you have the chart for the patient in 532?" Robin asked.

Elizabeth turned to retrieve the file and handed it to Robin. A screech escaped Emily's mouth. "ELIZABETH!!!" Elizabeth turned instantly red knowing that Emily had just spotted her new piece of jewelry. Robin looked curiously at Emily.

"What am I missing?" Robin asked.

Emily grabbed Elizabeth's left hand. "Is this…?" Elizabeth's mouth formed a huge grin as she nodded. "Jason proposed!"

"Yes, he did." She replied as Emily pulled her into a hug.

"Congratulations." Robin said. "You will have to fill me in on all the details tomorrow night." She looked over to Epiphany before heading off for her consult.

Elizabeth looked back to Emily who was looking at her with tears in her eyes. "So tell me about it, what happened, what did he say?"

"It was perfect… I don't really know what else to say, I am just so happy Em." As if on cue, the elevator opened and Jason appeared. He could tell from the look on Emily's face that Elizabeth had told her the news.

"Jason… I am so happy for you" Emily said rushing up to him and pulling him into a hug. He looked at Elizabeth over Emily's shoulder and met her eyes with his. Emily pulled back from the hug "It is about time!"

"Thanks Em." He said then walked over to Elizabeth. "Can you take a lunch?"

Her face fell "I wish I could. We are so short staffed because everyone took off today. Rain check… dinner?"

"I'll get Spinelli to watch the boys."

She smiled "Okay, I'll call you… hopefully I won't be stuck here too late." She leaned forward wanting to kiss him goodbye but remembered that Epiphany was on the other side of the desk behind her so she settled for a wink.

He turned to walk away "See you Em" he stopped and turned back "Oh, I almost forgot… I told Sonny and I think it is a race to see which of you gets to tell Carly."

Emily and Elizabeth both laughed, "It may be safer if he does anyway." Emily said. "He can handle her, kind of."

Jason smiled, entered the elevator, his eyes were locked on Liz till the doors closed.

"This ought to be interesting." Emily joked.

"I know." Elizabeth replied.

"Sonny!" Carly said storming into his office.

"Carly, don't you freaking knock?" he asked sounding annoyed.

She put her hands on her hips, "Michael told me that for Christmas you got him a dirt bike… are you crazy? Where is he going to ride that thing, he is too small still. He is going to hurt himself."

"Calm down! He won't be riding it alone. I told him he can only ride with an adult around. Besides it's a mini dirt bike, it doesn't go as fast." She stated.

"Oh, is that supposed to make me feel better?" she asked sarcastically.

Sonny sat back in his chair and took a deep breath. "Is that all you came here for Carly, I'm busy."

"Sonny, you can't keep doing this… you have to talk to me before you buy him something like that."

"Fine!" she turned to leave his office, he flashed a dimpled smile "Oh Carly, did you hear the good news?"

She stopped and turned, "No, what news?"

"Looks like Jason and Elizabeth are engaged."

Her jaw dropped before she started laughing, "Yea right, who told you that?"

"Jason."
