Chapter 25.) What Dreams May Come
Wednesday Evening –Cortona, Italy
After concluding their meeting Jason, Johnny and Francis made three homemade pizzas and a fresh garden salad for dinner. Once completed Jason and Johnny went upstairs and collected the kids from their nap. Both children were resting in Cameron's room. The furniture looked great, and suited the young boy's tastes. It was something that he could definitely grow with. Both children were whispering to each other and playing with their stuffed animals.
Jason peeked his head in and the children looked his direction, "Hey, what are you two up to?"
"We're just pwaying Uncle Jason," Aurora said.
"What smells yummy, Daddy?" Jason smiled at that still taken so aback when he heard Cameron call him that.
"We made pizza, buddy. Are you two hungry?"
"I sure am," said Aurora.
"Let's go Aurora!" Cameron encouraged but looked at Jason's suddenly stern look while placing his hand gently on Aurora's head, "We won't run daddy."
"Good. I'll meet you two in the kitchen," Jason said letting go of Aurora so the children could make their way down the stairs.
Johnny was laughing to himself in the hallway as he observed Emily and Elizabeth asleep in the bed. Both of ladies lay haphazardly across the bed. Emily's mouth was open and she was currently drooling on herself while her right arm lay across the upper part of her face. Elizabeth was letting out a light snore, while her head lay in the crook of her arm, while she lay on her side and her growing belly lay propped up on a pillow. They were adorable.
"What's got you laughing so hard?" Jason asked.
"Just look in there and you tell me," Johnny replied.
Jason peeked his head into his bedroom and started laughing at the sight too. Gently, he walked over to Elizabeth and stroked her face lovingly.
"Mmmm…oh Jason…"Elizabeth said while she slept.
"Jesus," said Johnny, "That was practically X-rated."
That moan had Jason's mind right in the gutter, and a certain member called to action. 'Down boy,' he thought with embarrassment. He'd never had this problem before. Jason let out a small chuckle, "Shut it Johnny. Come on, Elizabeth. You and the baby need to eat. You can come back up and rest when you're finished eating."
"No," Elizabeth said in an unconscious pout, "Not there Jason, but there".
Jason immediately blushed, "Elizabeth, I'm going to tickle you if you don't get up," Jason said in a mocking stern voice, "You and the baby need nourishment."
"Mmmm…tickle me, Jason," Elizabeth said, "You know how I like to be tickled."
"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph…I need to get out of this room," said Johnny.
Hearing this caused Jason to blush further. He'd never had this predicament before. Elizabeth was subconsciously giving herself to him. Giving her a light shake Jason continued his efforts. "Shhh…Elizabeth. You need to wake up."
Startled at the light command, "Huh? Have you been talking to me this whole time?" Elizabeth asked mortified at what she'd been dreaming about possibly being stated out loud. She wiped her face to make sure no drool was present and looked at Jason emitting a deep blush.
"I just came in here a minute ago. Why are you so embarrassed?" Jason asked knowing why she looked mortified.
"I just don't want you to see me looking so ugly," That's all.
"Such a thing is an impossibility where you are concerned. You could never look ugly, my beautiful Elizabeth," Jason said back while he moved a lock of her Elizabeth's hair from her face.
"You're just saying that so you can seduce me later," Elizabeth replied.
"Absolutely not, but if you're feeling up to it. I'm always happy to oblige." Jason said giving her a sexy smirk.
"NO, No!" Emily said wiping the drool from her face, "You two are not having this talk while I'm here. Come on. Really?"
"Sorry Emily," Elizabeth said.
"Sorry Em, Elizabeth has that effect on me," Jason said leaning down and kissing Elizabeth on the lips.
"I don't want to hear this….la la la la," said Emily as she stuck her fingers in her ears hoping to drown out whatever innuendos they were exchanging.
Jason stopped his oral plunder of Elizabeth's full lips, and said, "Dinner's ready, Em!"
"Huh, I can't hear YOUUU," Emily said in a sing song voice as she squeezed her eyes shut in an effort to mock the fake feelings of disgust at seeing her brother be all mushy with her best friend.
"He said that dinner's ready, Em," Elizabeth said raising her voice so that Emily would hear her.
"You two need to get up and feed yourselves and those babies," Jason said playfully admonishing them.
"Ay, Ay Captain," Emily replied while completing a mocking salute.
"Come on Em, before Jason uses his killer stare to ensnare us to his will." Liz said urging her best friend to follow her.
"Oh alright, but I'll have you know, I'm only going because I'm hungry not because you told me to Jason. I'll meet you down there in a minute. I have to go to the bathroom," Emily stated while playfully sticking out her tongue at her brother.
"Watch it Em, I might just pull your tongue out if you keep that up."
"I'd like to see you try Jase. You don't have the courage."
"Is that a challenge Emily Quartermaine?"
"Oh would you two quit already?" asked Elizabeth playfully.
"Just hurry up, Em. We'll wait for you," Jason said shaking his head grateful for the moments of levity that Emily and Elizabeth brought him, since he was so rarely afforded a real opportunity laugh.

Thursday evening –Port Charles
Peering in from the stairwell she had an excellent view of the unmanned door to the Penthouse. The wall mounted camera was slowly scanning the area of the corridor. As the camera scanned to the right, she quickly made her way down the hall. As the camera scanned its way down the middle the subject made her way beneath the camera knowing that she couldn't be seen from this angle. As the camera made its way to the left, she made her way to Penthouse four. Slipping the key in she was shocked to find that it no longer worked. 'Damn," she thought. She would have to pick the lock, but she didn't have time, realizing that the camera was starting to scan back in her direction. "This is going to require a new plan of action," said Sam disappointedly to herself, as she carefully made her way back down the hall in a manner that she thought went undetected.
As she made her way down the stairwell, Sam started thinking of a new plan. As she reached the parking lot, she managed to stay out of the way of the cameras that that were positioned around the exits and made her way onto the sidewalk.
Dialing her phone, Sam reached out to Ric on the only number she had for him, "Did you complete your task?"
"He changed the damn locks. I can pick it but I need time. I have a plan though. It's just going to be tomorrow before I can execute it."
"Fine. I will wait to follow through with my part of the plan. Let me know when you've completed your part of the mission so that I may proceed," Ric said before hanging up the phone.
'That insufferable shit of a man,' thought Sam. Making her way to the nearest convenient store, Sam decided to pull up the hood on her jacket in an effort to conceal herself on the video cameras around the store. She made her way down the medicinal aisle procuring the item that she needed, and went to the cashier to pay.
As nightfall began taking place, Sam was aware that there was a shift change with the guards at The Towers, and that now would be a perfect opportunity to sneak back over and break in and plant the gun.
After 20 minutes, Sam made it back up the stairs and hid outside the security office. Peaking in through the glass partition she noticed that none of Jason's security staff were monitoring the screens. Opening the unlocked door, Sam snuck in and was pleased to see a new pot of coffee freshly brewed. Pulling out the sleeping aid, she stirred in the contents, and waited underneath an unused desk, that concealed her. Eventually, Ritchie who was just coming on duty opened the door with relative ease, started shaking his head. Peaking his head around the corner, he caught Milo Giambetti before he left, "Dude, don't leave the door unlocked. That's how mistakes happen."
"Oh, I'm sorry man, I forgot to tell you. The lock on that door isn't working. I put a call into Cody earlier, and maintenance was supposed to come by and fix it, but they haven't made it here yet."
"Good to know. I will follow up," Ritchie said, "Oh and thanks for brewing that pot of coffee."
"No big deal! I'll see you tomorrow," Milo said.
"See ya man!" said Ritchie in return.
One hour later, and Ritchie's head lay flat on the desk. Sam realizing that he passed out made her way out of the office, and down the corridor, avoiding the scanning cameras as she made her way down to Penthouse four.
Being mindful of the cameras, Sam quickly picked the lock and broke into the penthouse. Walking over to the coat closet near the door, she withdrew the firearm and placed it behind the small gun safe that Jason kept in that closet. If she had more time she'd be tempted to break some of the stuff in Jason's penthouse, but she didn't have the time, and she doubted he would even care, 'Dump me for her.' Opening the door slightly, Sam slipped out her pocket mirror to gauge the cameras and then locked the bottom lock. Timing the cameras right, Sam quietly shut the door, and made her way down the hallway, once again assuming that she had made it out undetected.
Twenty minutes later, Sam dialed the number from before and the other line picked up, "It's done," she said.
"Good, you know what to do next."
Using a disposable phone, Sam dialed the number, and used a fake southern accent, "Hi yes, is this Crime Elim-in-a-tors? I know who killed Loren-Zo Alca-zarr. His name is Jay-Son Mor-Gan and he keeps the gun at his apartment thangy on the top floor. I saw'll him take it there. Keeps it in his closet." She said hanging up the phone. Hopefully that would be enough for him to get a warrant.

Cortona, Italy- Edge of Il Mio Vento- After Dinner Thursday Evening.
Jason and Elizabeth were coming back from town after dinner. They had decided to stop in and make an appointment for the next day so that Cameron could have his DNA run against Jason. On the way back things had gotten out of hand when Elizabeth decided to start heavily petting Jason. Completely aroused, he pulled over before he crashed as Elizabeth moved the elbow rests up and unleashed his swollen member gliding her hand back and forth, Elizabeth worked him into a frenzy, as she carefully leaned over his lap and began to love him with her mouth. Jason was in ecstasy as his head flung back and his hands gripped her hair, while he slowly pumped into her mouth.
"Mmmm…" Jason grunted as he bit his lip trying to keep from crying out at how good it felt. Slowly rising up, Elizabeth carefully shifted over moving his seat back once she was sitting on his lap facing him. Moving her skirt up, she shifted her underwear slightly, and sheathed him inside of her, while slowly starting to ride him. As the pressure built up, Jason couldn't take it anymore as he ripped her shirt open and devoured her full breasts.
Arching back in satisfaction, Elizabeth grunted, "Oh Jason," as they both started to pick up speed. "Jason you fill me up so good…so so good. Harder!"
"You're so tight," he replied as he plowed up into her.
"Jason, I'm…I'm," Elizabeth said as the words died in her mouth, no longer able to speak but she didn't have to because he could feel her walls milking him to a strong finish.
"You ready, I'm about to go, and it's all for you…" Jason said in turn, as he finished kissing her while nipping her lips as sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Jason I know I've said this before, but I don't know how we went so long apart."
"Me either, but I'm happy we won't have find out. Now, when can I make you Mrs. Morgan? I don't want to rush you, but I feel like if we don't make this happen something will come up, and I want us together. I want you to be mine. I've wanted you to be mine since I left you after the first time I was shot. I wanted you to be mine every time I came back to town. I wanted you to be mine at Emily's wedding to Cassadine. I wanted you to be mine when you visited me in the interrogation room last year when you were warning about playing it safe and letting Em and Sonny find their own way."
"I felt it too! It never left Jason."
"I know this was wrong, but if I'm being honest with myself I was scared to death when I heard Manny had you. I knew you weren't technically mine to protect, but I couldn't help it when it comes to you. My love for you is an addiction that I don't want a cure for, and when Manny had you I had to get to you. It didn't matter how much time we've spent apart. You're it for me. It's true that I've cared for others and have been scared for others, but the problem is that while I would be sad to have something happen to Courtney, Sam or even Robin, if something were to happen to you it would be the one thing that I can't survive. All my instincts tell me to protect you from a distance, and at the same time I can't bear to stay away from you."
"Wow, Jason. You have to know that I'm already yours. I love you so much. Not being with you has allowed me to make some rather horrible marital decisions. Ric and Lucky were voids I was just trying to fill in a spot meant only for you. As for our wedding, I don't need anything formal, you're all the special that I need. That I've always needed. I just want to love you Jason. We've wasted so much time worrying about everyone else that neither one of us was truly ready until now. Now that I know what I have to lose I don't want to wait either. How about Saturday?"
"Are you sure that soon?" Jason asked barely able to contain his breath.
"Wow, now you're suddenly unsure?" Asked Elizabeth playfully as she gave him a bashful grin.
"No, my beautiful angel, when it comes to you I've never been unsure. Just scared. My feelings about you have always been clear. Saturday, it is then." Jason said kissing her and starting to feel a familiar stirring.
"Saturday," Elizabeth said nipping Jason's lower lip, and giving him a view of half-lidded eyes, "Ready for round two I see."
Jason leaned forward and gripped her hips as they began again.

Cortona, Italy Friday Morning
Jason, Elizabeth and Cameron made their way to the clinic to get the DNA testing underway. Elizabeth was nervous, but Jason reassured her that no matter what as far as he was concerned Aurora and Cameron were his children to love and protect and nothing would get in the way of that.
Feeling better Elizabeth went into register the three of them under their assumed names, and took a seat. "Edward Cerio, Imogene Cerio, and Steven Cerio, please a-step-a- to the back.
Once in the back the buccal swabs were taken, and they were instructed that they would receive notice from the lab which was in that province, in about a week when the results came in for them to pick up. Jason gave them his disposable cell number and the information was forwarded.
Once they were in the car Cameron asked, "Mommy why did we play the funny name game again?"
Elizabeth looked at Jason and then answered the best she could, "Well sweetie, Mommy and Daddy like to play hide and seek with some of the people from Port Charles, because not everyone there plays nicely. Does that make sense?"
"Ummmm," was all Cameron responded back scratching his head somewhat confused.
"Remember when mommy told you and Aurora about the mean lady that hurt Uncle Steve and Grams?"
"Yeah, I member."
"Well we're still hiding from her, so it's important that people don't know our real names or she might win the hide and seek game and she's a spoil sport. She doesn't like to play fair," Elizabeth looked at Jason for reassurance, and he shook his head giving her what she needed. He was an honest person by nature and felt that this was the most honest way to deal with this situation. He certainly didn't want his kids scared, but if they could get the kids to play along until Jason's team found Helena and Tom Baker, then turning this situation into a bit of a game or an adventure would be good enough for him. Taking Elizabeth's hand in his to reassure her that he was with her on this. It felt good, working as a parental unit for their son. Next week they would find out what he what he knew deep down, Cameron was his little boy. A dream come true.
