Chapter 36

Once Diane left, they ate dinner and Elizabeth returned to Cameron's room with him to finish watching their movie. Laying in his bed with him, they both fell asleep and Elizabeth did not wake up until the movie was over and back on the menu screen. She climbed out of Cameron's bed and tucked him in. After placing a quick kiss on the sleeping boy's forehead, she made her way back to her room, stretching as she pushed her door open.

Even though she would not admit it to herself, she expected to find him in her room. She stopped just inside the door, looked over at him and instantly felt her heart rate increase

"Why are you so damn angry with me?" Jason asked, rising from the armchair on the far side of the room.

Ignoring his question, she closed the door and walked toward the bed, sitting on the edge to remove her shoes. She tossed them beside her night stand then stood back up and placed her hands on her hips. "When did you remember what happened between us?"

He took a few steps toward her, hesitantly. "This morning in the courtroom. It all just suddenly came back to me when I saw you." He explained. "I'm sorry it took me so long to remember."

Elizabeth shrugged, "And today is the first time you have remembered everything? I don't know, I just find it hard to believe that an entire months worth of memories came back at once."

"What do you mean?"

Elizabeth arched her eyebrows, "I mean… I don't know Jason… I just find it hard to believe that you haven't had one memory, not one thought and just suddenly it all appears."

Jason swept his tongue across his bottom lip, "Well I did remember a few things but I thought it was a dream or something."

"A dream or something… Jason I thought you didn't dream."

"I guess I still don't." he said with a smirk but she did not find him amusing. He closed the distance between them and touched her necklace, "I remembered seeing you wearing this." He said in a low voice.

Elizabeth nodded, "I wear it every day."

Jason nodded, "I know but the day that I woke up, I saw your necklace and had a flash of the night I gave it to you, in your studio."

"Why didn't you ask me about it?" she asked incredulously.

Jason wiped his hand over his face when she walked away from him, putting a few feet distance between them. "Elizabeth, I had no idea that we'd been together but I have a flash of you naked wearing that necklace, how was I supposed to ask you about that? I thought I was just daydreaming about you." He explained.

"But you don't dream Jason!" she spat.

He shrugged and threw his hands in the air, "I thought that maybe I could again after this accident. I… don't… know!"

"What else? What else did you remember?"

He shook his head, "Are you serious? Who cares… I remember now and I know it is real!" She crossed her arms over her chest so he continued, "I remembered the SUV in the rain, the floor in the Livingroom downstairs and…"

"Wait, so you kept having memories of us having sex?"

"But I didn't know they were memories Elizabeth. I thought I was daydreaming about you." He took a step toward her but she countered with a step away from him. "It was a difficult situation and now everything is out in the open."

"Everything?" she challenged.

Jason nodded.

"What about Sam?"

Jason shrugged, "What do you mean what about Sam?"

"Last night… she showed up at your place when I came over to talk to you. I was going to tell you about everything so you didn't have to find out on the stand."

"I'm not with Sam and never will be. I kicked her out about a minute after you left. You didn't stick around to see that one…" he trailed off and turned his back to her, unable to avoid the anger he was starting to feel. "Why do I feel like I am still on trial here?"

Elizabeth sighed, exhausted from everything, the trial, the pregnancy… everything.

"Elizabeth, I may not have come to you with these thoughts I was having but you didn't come to me either. Hell, you knew everything that happened and you chose not to tell me." He said, his voice raising.

"The doctors said…"

"Don't you blame the doctors. Did you change your mind and regret what happened between us?"

Elizabeth took a step toward him and shook her head.

"Am I wrong then? Is there a chance that the baby is Lucky's?"

His question shocked her but the shock did not stop her hand from rising uncontrollably to firmly slap his cheek. He could see that she instantly regretted doing it but she turned her back to him, hoping he would not see the regret on her face. "I guess that is a no." he joked as his hand lifted to his cheek.

"I was afraid you wouldn't ever remember, or worse, I was afraid that you wouldn't feel that way anymore." She said in a defeated voice.

"How do you know if you don't ask me or tell me!" he growled, frustrated with the conversation.

Elizabeth growled and turned on her heels to face him. When her head whipped around, their eyes met, both full of fire. Impulsively, Jason moved in and crashed his mouth into hers before she had the chance to resist. His arms snaked around her waist and he pulled her body against his, letting out a slight growl when he felt her round belly press against him. Her body arched into his until his arm around her waist was supporting her weight from falling backwards.

His demanding lips continued pressing against hers until she finally responded. She kissed him back frantically as though she were trying to devour him with the kiss. Her hands threaded into his hair and she roughly tugged, causing him to growl. Jason bent slightly and lifted her into his arms. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist then he carried her the short distance to the bed.

Normally he'd tip them over the bed and fall on top of her but the pregnancy prevented that. Instead he sat on the edge of the bed with her on his lap. Their kisses were frantic, the room was filled with the sound of moans and both of them gasping for air.

"W…" Jason struggled to say. "Wait." He said, bringing his hands to each side of her head to halt her movement. It had been six months since they had been together and he did not want to hurt her, physically or emotionally but he certainly could understand her urgency. He waited for her eyes to meet his and when they didn't, he took his index finger and lifted her chin. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at him, he could see the tears forming. "Are you ok?" he asked, his voice a husky whisper.

She nodded, "Just please don't stop."

He chuckled, "Not a chance." He said as his finger left her chin and trailed up her cheek. The rest of his fingers joined and he cupped her cheek. She leaned into his hand but did not close her eyes. "I love you."

Just then a tear dropped from her eye and she sucked in a deep breath. "I love you too."

His head dipped toward hers again but this time much slower. His eye focused on her lips while his thumb smoothed over her cheek, wiping away the wetness. They got lost in the feeling of their lips and tongues meeting in a slow dance. Elizabeth slipped her hands beneath the back of his t-shirt and slowly ran her hands up his back leaving a scorching trail in their wake. They separated long enough for him to help her pull the t-shirt over his head and toss it on the floor. She shifted on his lap causing him to groan. She dipped her had and kissed the base of his neck and down his chest, her tongue flicking against his nipples. In response, his hands grabbed the bottom hem of her sweater and pulled it off her, tossing it on top of his shirt on the floor.

He gently flipped them onto the bed so he was hovering over her. He kissed a path down her jaw and stopped at the spot on her neck that he knew would drive her wild. She responded by reaching between them and attempted to unfasten his belt but her stomach got in the way. He kissed a path across her collarbone and down her chest, gently nipping at the swell of her breasts, quickly soothing the light bites with kisses. "Jason." She moaned.

He smiled and sat up placing his knees on either side of her thighs. Her breasts were slightly larger then he remembered but they were still just as perfect. "You are so beautiful." He managed to say before his gaze came to focus on her stomach. He smoothed his hands over her skin before leaning down to place a soft kiss just over her belly button. "This won't hurt you or the baby will it?" he asked innocently.

Elizabeth shook her head and shimmied her body out from beneath him. Rising up beside him on her knees, she reached between them and unbuttoned then unzipped his jeans. He responded in kind and they both slipped each other's pants down until they were pooled at their knees on the bed. Gently lifting her from her side, he slipped her pants over her knees and tossed them on the floor.

His fingertips slowly trailed up the outside of her thighs causing her to tremble in anticipation. His mouth found hers again as his fingers continued their path up over her hips and around her back to unhook her bra. Distracted by the feel of her body, he did not notice the location of her hand. She had slipped a hand inside the waistband of his boxer briefs and it wrapped around his straining erection. He moaned her name in slow syllables when her hand gently began tugging. She felt him nearly fall backwards and seized the opportunity to push him back so he was laying on the bed. She reached down and removed his briefs then swung her leg over his thighs so that she was now straddling him. He finally finished removing her bra and immediately strummed his thumbs against her taut nipples. Her back arched and she rolled her hips. The only scrap of material between them was the thin silk of her panties and Jason moaned when he felt how wet she was through the material. Unable to stop himself, he reached between her legs and roughly tugged on her panties, ripping them off her body. Elizabeth gasped at his impatience and quickly followed with a long moan when he immediately traced her drenched slit with his erection.

She lifted on her knees then lowered herself and in one quick movement took in every impressive inch of him. He gripped her hips and raised his upper body off the bed to join their lips as her hips began slowly moving. She felt even better then he remembered and knowing that he would not last long, he reached between them and gently strummed his thumb over the sensitive spot between her legs. Quickly they were both panting, moaning and swearing each other's names. Her fingernails dug into his shoulders as she felt the waves roll through her. He immediately followed her over the edge.

Jason rolled them onto their sides and they both laid there as their breathing returned to normal. His hand traced her spine, hips then continued around to her belly where it came to rest. She covered his hands with hers.

"I'm sorry I said that… about Lucky being the father. I didn't mean it."

Elizabeth arched an eyebrow, "It's ok, I know you just said it to piss me off, I'm sorry I slapped you."

Jason laughed, "No you aren't. I could tell you wanted to slap me the minute you walked into the room and saw me. It's ok though, I like it when you are feisty."
