Sorry that it took so long for an update. It's been hard to keep my MUSE b/c of how things are playing out on GH. Also my kids have started Baseball and it has eaten up a lot of my time. I still plan on continuing this story so please hear me out. Much Love- Vrgogrl22
I don't own ABC, I don't General Hospital. I don't own Under the Tuscan Sun, or anything else.
Chapter 28.)
Celebration Time- Come ON!
Stroking the back of Jason's neck, Elizabeth looked up at him and gave him a sweet smile while they swayed on the dance floor, "We're married, Jason. I just can't believe it. It's like all my dreams came true in one moment. Thank you. You are my miracle."
Jason smiled back, and removed his right arm from behind her back, in order to cup her chin. "If anyone has ever deserved happiness it's you Elizabeth. I'm just honored that you're taking this step with me. You've been my miracle since we became friends. I adore you. I can't wait to step into our future and tackle our dreams and even our problems together.
"You know what I can't wait for?" Elizabeth asked.
"What's that?" Jason said back.
"I can't wait until we head back, when things are safer. I can't wait to be waiting for you to come home to us after a tough day of work. I can't wait to have the kids run up to you and say 'Daddy,' look what I made for you at school. I can't wait to have dinner with you as a family. I want when you come home from work, to have something nice to come home to. Trust me, I know you keep unorthodox hours, but I want to bring you some semblance of peace, because you deserve it."
"Those are beautiful dreams. I want those things too! God, how I want them with you," Jason said as they moved closer only to be interrupted by their unborn son's feisty kicks.
"Well it seems he agrees," said Elizabeth as she smiled at Jason with a look of pure joy.
In the background the children were giggling as the waves crashed. They found delight by simply enjoying the sand beneath their feet. It was a happy moment for all!

Emily stepped away for a moment to call Nik, "Hey Babe, it's me! Every time I call you're not there to pick up. I hope you and Spencer are well. I have so much to tell you. We're safe. I will call you again soon. Love you, Bye."
Emily walked back to the party, and approached Francis. Looking up from his plate he noticed his elegant young friend, "No such luck, Squirt?"
Emily smirked, and shook her head no. "Do you think it would be alright if I called my mom? I want to check on her and see if she's heard from Nik or Alexis. Maybe there's something going on."
"Sure, just remember to keep it short, and then I want to have that phone back so that I can smash it."
"Okay," Emily said walking away.
Emily dialed her mom's number, and thankfully Monica picked up by the second ring.
"Hey Mom," Emily said.
"Oh Em, I've been so worried about you? Where are you?"
"I'm fine, but I can't tell you my location because it would compromise our safety."
"Em, are you sure you're safe?" Monica asked.
"Yeah Mom, I'm safe. I'm with Jase. All's well."
"Listen, I can't talk long, but I need a favor. Can you find out where Nik is? This is the longest I've had a phone and I need to make sure that he's alright. Check with Alexis, or maybe even Lulu."
"Sure, I can do that. I love you, Emily."
"I love you too, Mom. I will call you soon!"
"Be safe," Monica said as the line went dead.
Emily ended the call. She should be home with her dad just passing but the threats were just too real, and like Elizabeth her first priority would be the safety of her unborn child.

Hours later
The waves were crashing on the shore, in the wee morning hours. The salt and the sea breeze wafted through the air, but the lovers lounging on the porch heard none of it past the noises of their own pleasures.
"Elizabeth," Jason panted out in ecstasy as he gripped her hips, "I love you."
"Mmm…Jason. I love you too," as she leaned forward while she rode him in the tan lounger, only covered by the silk royal blue robe she was wearing.
Jason moved his right hand to her breast needing to feel the soft flesh in his hands as he leaned forward and paid homage to her right nipple and then her left, as Liz called out his name in pleasure.
"I don't think it can get better than this," Jason said as he started to cum leaning his head back in release.
"I…agree with that statement," Elizabeth replied as she nibbled on Jason's lips.
The lovers sat together enjoying the quiet on the shore. Elizabeth leaned forward and nuzzled her face in the crook of Jason's neck, not breaking contact from one another.
"Elizabeth Imogene Morgan, I love the sound of that," Jason said interrupting the silence.
"Ugh…Imogene. I like the sound of Mrs. Jason Morgan the best although the name Morgan makes everything better. To know that I'm completely yours as you are mine. It's a long time coming, Mr. Morgan," Elizabeth replied with a flirty smile and wiggled her eyebrows with suggestion, as she played with his growing mane.
"What do you say we head inside and snuggle up together? I don't want you catching a chill," Jason said reluctantly. Truth be told, he could stay in that position for the rest of his life and never grow tired of it.
"That's fine. Let's wash up first, and then we can snuggle and do whatever else comes to mind."
Elizabeth slowly rose up, disconnecting from Jason. She took his hand and guided them back into their room, and to the adjoining bathroom for a quick shower. Jason lathered up the soap and massaged Elizabeth's body. When he was finished cleaning her, she cleaned him. They took a moment to just stare at each other.
"I can't believe it took us eight years to get to this point," Jason said.
"We're very stubborn people Jason, and we had a lot of issues to overcome Jason, but no more. There's nothing more important than you and our children. Nothing! No one can come between us now, and I won't let the thought of danger get in the way, because what time has taught me is that we're stronger together, especially when we can be honest with one another. The truth is there hasn't been a time where you or I haven't been in danger either separately or together. There's no reason with life's unpredictability why we shouldn't be together, especially since we love one another."
Jason nodded in agreement as he grabbed Elizabeth's hips and brought her closer to his embrace, as close as their unborn baby would allow.
Slipping her arms around Jason's neck Elizabeth continued to speak, "I know that with your job you can't tell me everything, and I can accept that. Just know that I would never betray you or the people you love Jason. I want to be your rock, a safe place for you to come home to, because you've always been that for me."
"Elizabeth, you've always been a rock in my life. My God, how many times have you come between me and disaster? You're the most loving, kind, brave, and uniquely intelligent woman that I know," Jason said as he brought his hands up to her chin and cupped her face in the steady stream of the shower before lightly kissing her. Breaking apart from the kiss, Jason added, "When you consider my occupation, I shouldn't be as lucky as I am. How many men can say that they're married to the most beautiful woman in the world?"
Liz let a tear fall and Jason caught it with the pad of his thumb since he was still holding her face, as if it was the most precious piece of glass in the world, "That is the most beautiful thing you could say. You are so much more than your occupation. I never see you go after an innocent party. The entire city of Port Charles owes you for taking out so many threats. Hell, you're better than the entire police department," Liz said.
Jason dipped his head toward Elizabeth and gave her a brief kiss. Reluctantly pulling back, Jason turned off the shower and opened the door. He grabbed two towels, wrapping Elizabeth up first, then himself.
As they laid on the bed Liz kissed Jason's cheek and said, "I can't wait to snuggle with you for the rest of my life."

Port Charles- Greystone Manor
It was late Saturday evening. Sonny had just poured himself a drink when Stan came through the door, "I think I know who the perpetrator was! The image is very grainy, but I think we're looking at the image of Sam McCall."
"Sam?" Sonny questioned.
"I thought all her stuff was moved out of Jason's Penthouse," Stan said.
"Me too. I need you to clear up the image so we can see what she left with," Sonny said.
"I'm still working on it. I just thought you would like an update," Stan said lingering around wanting to ask another question, but unsure as to whether or not he should proceed.
"Was there something else Stan?"
"Did Jason find Elizabeth?" Stan asked.
Sonny shook his head yes, "Yeah, he did."
"Good. I'm glad. I'm relieved to hear it," Stan said with a smile.
"Why is that?" Sonny asked.
"Because, she's mom's favorite nurse."
"I didn't know your mom was allowed to have favorites, Stan."
"She's probably not, but I think Elizabeth is the daughter she always wanted. She doesn't say too much publically, but mom has said often that Elizabeth has more courage and compassion than a body ought to. No one's asking me, but Elizabeth seems like a good match for Jason."
"You're right no one is asking you, but I'd still like to hear why you think so, since we're on the subject."
"Sam is cool I guess in dangerous situations. She can handle herself but she also gets herself in a great deal of trouble. Sam seems like she's competing with Jason. Whereas, Elizabeth wants to be helpful, but her underhandedness is a little more sophisticated, and when you consider that Sam's a former con-artist, she's not really good at covering her tracks. Elizabeth can keep a secret and not be caught. I've heard a lot of stories around town and Elizabeth is unassuming but handy in a variety of situations."
"I know that she's good at tending to Jason's wounds. That's how they bonded you know?" Sonny said lifting his drink to his lips and sipping, as Stan nodded before continuing. "He was shot several years ago and she found him, hid him, defended him, and took care of him for a month."
"I had heard something to that effect, but what I do know for sure is that she's clever. Like when Jason dressed up as a doctor last fall and needed Lansing's phone. Jason suggested stealing it, Liz walked right up to him and asked for it. All she had to do was bat her eyes, and pretend like she left her phone at home. Smart girl. Mom saw it, and got a good chuckle out of it. I just think that she's a better fit for Jason. A guy in Jason's line of work needs to come home to something happy, and Liz has a light spirit about her."
"Yeah, now that I think about it they may have been fated that way from the very beginning. Elizabeth is all light, where Jason is all dark. They complement each other well."
Shaking his head in agreement, Stan made his way out the door.
Sonny picked up his phone and made a call, "Put an additional tail on Sam McCall and one on Ric."

Ric's car- Undisclosed Location
The woman sat down, and accepted the envelope that Ric handed to him.
"You worked for Sonny?" Asked Ric
"Yeah, but you and I both know it wasn't Morgan that killed him," the woman said.
"That money is for your silence of my involvement and for your sworn testimony that you saw Jason Morgan commit the hit on Alcazar," Ric explained.
"Fine, but it's going to cost you an additional 50k. I have debts that I need to take care of. I'm sort of out of a job as of last week," the woman stated.
"Fine, I'll get you half tomorrow, and half after the trial. Whatever you do don't deposit your money. Meet me here tomorrow same time," Ric advised as the man exited his vehicle. Ric locked the door and headed for his rental. He'd been forced to rent an apartment since Alexis had confronted him about his sexual escapade with her daughter Sam.
Sitting off to the side of the road, hidden by some trees Cody with a wide angle camera, "Got ya!" He said as he'd taken enough shots to show that there'd been some sort of pay off. Cody had seen the passenger before but he wasn't certain where.
