It had been a perfect night. Sonny had taken them out for sundaes. Ice cream with his daughters, the very thing that had started this whole mess, but it was sweet and fun and she loved it. To bad when she got home, after putting Cam to bed she was just left laying in her own bed reliving what had happened between her and Jason that day. But then again it was almost a nice change of pace instead of constantly thinking about the night of the blackout. Around seven she gave up on getting any real sleep crawling out of bed to begin the day. With any luck she'd at least have time for a nice long shower before Cam woke.
"So what's for breakfast today?" Lulu asked tiredly an hour later after Cam had happily woken his sleeping aunt.
"Same thing that's for breakfast everyday, whatever Sonny made." Liz laughed.
"One of us should really learn how to cook." Lulu nodded grinning. "Come on Cam time to get the fat lady some food."
"Can we watch Peter Pan today?' Cam asked skipping happily.
"Again?' lulu groaned regretting buying the kid the DVD.
"Sure Buddy." Liz smirked at Lulu.
"Ok, tell me I'm being paranoid from lack of sleep." Liz asked quietly as they made their way across the short lawn that separated the guest house from the main one.
"The boys sure are acting weird." Lulu nodded confused.
"Weird is an understatement." Liz said watching the many men she'd grown accustomed to positioned around Sonny's property all of whom were steadily avoiding her, even looking at her. Usually she got a few smiles and greetings from those she knew better.
"Look, there's Johnny, he'll know what's going on." Lulu said pointing out the bodyguard.
"Johnny!" Liz called causing the man to turn. Normally she'd get a hearty hello from the older man, accompanied by some teasing or good natured banter but today, today he turned on his heal and fled. "Son of a ..."Liz trailed off glancing down at her oblivious son.
"What the heck is going on?" Liz asked frustrated as she walked into the dinning room.
"You haven't seen it yet, have you?' Carly asked clearly amused.
"Seen what?" Liz asked confused.
"This." Sonny said slapping the morning paper down on the table in front of her.
"Oh my god." Lulu gasped as Liz turned white grabbing the dark wood of the table to keep herself upright.
'The Model and her man play Doctor' the headline read in bold black print right under it an nice picture of her and Jason mauling each other in the hospital the day before.
"I wanna see." Cam demanded trying to pull himself up to see over the top of the table.
"No." Liz shouted flinging the paper but unfortunately it landed right in front of her younger brother.
"Why would you and Uncle Jason play Doctor?" Michael asked confused as Carly burst into laughter.
"This isn't happening." Liz muttered breathing heavily.
"It isn't exactly what I expected to read when I sat down with my coffee this morning." Sonny replied dryly. Elizabeth's eyes flew to his her paleness steadily turning to a bright red shade. "Care to explain?"
"I think it's pretty self explanatory." Carly smirked.
"I don't get it." Michael replied. "Why is Uncle Jason on top of you?" He asked as Sonny finally had the sense to snatch the paper away from him.
"Michael why don't you take your brother and Cam outside." Carly suggested as Elizabeth squirmed and Sonny grew quieter which was never good.
"Um Stone Cold, you may want to take a look at this." Spinelli said cautiously handing him the paper.
"Fuck." Jason swore as Spinelli hurriedly backed away.
"So um, your having twins, congrats." Spinelli offered hoping to curb his impending rage.
"How the hell did this happen?' Jason demanded furiously.
"Um, I think you would know, I mean you were there and all." Spinelli said lamely. "I wonder how the god father is taking the news?"
"Shit." Jason swore. "Sonny always read the paper first thing. This was going to be bad.
"Sam?" Alexis asked concerned.
"Shouldn't jump to conclusion huh?" Sam asked laughing bitterly. "Because you don't really need to jump far when it's printed in black and white for you."
