Chapter 38 – Good News Spreads
Emily rushed into the room. "Jason?" She asked. "I came as soon as I heard."
Jason smiled. "I remember Emily—everything."
Emily gasped and put her hands over her face for a second. "How is that possible?"
Patrick shrugged. "It could have been the scar removal. I wasn't anticipating this but it is an added bonus."
"What does it mean?" Edward asked.
"Well, the brain damage is still there so he'll still behave like Jason Morgan probably. But, he will have memories of his childhood now. Memories and personality are really two separate things. The brain damage is what made him think and act differently."
Jason nodded. "I understand."
"The headaches should be gone now." Robin added.
Jason squeezed Elizabeth's hand.
"You have to stay overnight for observation. If you're doing well in the morning you can go home but you need to take it easy for a few days. You did have brain surgery after all." Patrick said.
"Thanks Patrick."
Monica kissed Jason one more time. "I need to go call your father and give him an update. He's at the house with Lila."
"Bye mom." Jason said.
Emily gave him a kiss and then gave Liz a hug. "I love you guys."
"I love you too." Jason said.
Edward walked over to him. "I'm glad you're going to be okay. I hope you know how much I love you Jason."
"I love you too grandfather."
Edward patted his arm and then left with Emily.
"We're alone." Jason said.
Liz got up and gave him a kiss. "Do you remember everything?" She asked with a wicked grin.
"How's my baby?" He asked with a smile.
"I just fed her. Edward thought it was gross but it tasted divine."
"What was it?" He asked curiously.
"A peanut butter, bacon, and banana sandwich. I was gonna add pickles but I figured it would give it away. Edward guessed anyway so he knows but promised only to tell Lila."
"Okay." Jason said. "I think I need another kiss."
Liz smiled and kissed him again.
"Elizabeth, I don't want to waste anymore time. Will you marry me? I want to spend the rest of my life with you and hopefully with a bunch of cute babies running around."
She grinned. "How many babies do you want?"
"Ten." Jason deadpanned.
She laughed loudly. "How about three?"
He pretended to pout. "You still didn't answer my question."
She looked at him lovingly. "Yes. I want to be your wife Jason, forever."
He smiled and they kissed again. "I want to get married at our house."
"That would be lovely."
"Okay, how about next week?"
Liz's eyes grew big. "Jason, how on earth can I possibly pull that off?"
Monica walked inside. "I'm sure with all of us helping we could do it."
They both pulled back, surprised she had returned.
"Sorry, I left my phone." She said pointing to it. "Congratulations."
Jason smiled. "Thanks."
"Are you going to stay Jason Morgan or change your name back?"
"For business purposes, it would be better if I kept Morgan but legally, I wouldn't mind having them both."
Monica was beaming. "I think you just made Edward's dream come true."
Jason chuckled.
"Jason, I think we should tell her." Liz said. "It's close enough."
Monica looked at them both curiously.
"Mom, we're pregnant."
Monica grinned. "Oh my God, congratulations." She said hugging them both. "How far along?"
"I'm in my third month."
Monica was stunned. "I'm so happy. Your memory, a baby, and a wedding…. The Quartermaines are going to be on cloud nine for a while."
Liz smiled. "I'm going to need a lot of help to pull of this wedding. I've been really tired."
"You let us handle it." She said.
Jason made a face which made Monica playfully glare at him.
"I'll call Chloe for your dress. She can send you some pictures. Your bouquet can be made with Lila's roses and flowers. If I have to become a minister online, I will."
Jason chuckled.
"I'm sure I can find a caterer. I have so much to do. Is the baby still a secret?"
They shook their heads. "No."
"Okay, I'm taking the rest of the day off to get things going. Take care of my grandbaby." She said before leaving.
"What just happened?" Elizabeth asked.
Jason grinned. "Let them sweat all the details. Now get in bed with me woman."
Liz smiled. "Keep your panties on I'm coming." She said before slipping out of her shoes.
Francis appeared out of nowhere and picked her up and deposited her safely next to Jason.
"Thanks for the lift." She said smiling.
"I had to make sure baby Morgan was taken care of."
Liz grinned. She was having Jason's baby and she couldn't be more happy.

Manny crept up behind Carl as he got a bag out of his car. He put a gun against his temple. "You make one move other than what I tell you to do, and I will put a bullet in your brain. Now drop the bag."
Carl's mouth dropped open and he did what he was told. "What do you want?"
"Move into the house. I have been looking for you for a long time." Manny said.
"Who are you?"
"Your worst nightmare." Manny said pushing inside. "You are going to regret going after my girlfriend."
"Who is your girlfriend?" He asked.
Manny pushed him up against the wall. "Emily Quartermaine.
Carl smirked. "She is rather delicious isn't she?"
"You'll never find out." Manny said before handcuffing him and then shoving him into a chair.
"I've seen her naked. Her body is exquisite."
Manny knew he was baiting him. "I'm not going to kill you quickly. They will never find your rotting carcass." He said grinning evilly. "You fucked with the wrong person. I will make you beg for death you sick fuck."
Carl gulped. He was looking into the eyes of death and he wondered how much he'd be able to take.

Monica looked around the room. She had called everyone over to the mansion she could think of.
"What's going on?" AJ asked.
"Jason and Elizabeth are getting married."
AJ grinned. "Awesome. When?"
"Next weekend."
Everyone's mouth dropped open.
"Did he get her knocked up or something?" AJ quipped.
Monica didn't say anything and Tracy's mouth dropped open. "Oh my God." She muttered.
"Yes, they are pregnant and she's in her third month."
Everyone was so happy for them.
"What do you need us to do?" Abby asked.
"Well, I'm glad you asked. We have a lot to pull off. They are having it at the new house. I need someone to find a band." Monica said.
"Done." AJ said.
Monica wrote it down. "Emily, can you work with Chloe to help Elizabeth pick a dress?"
"Yes." She said happily.
"Alright, Jason needs a tux and I have no idea about matrons of honor and what not."
Jeff cleared his throat. "I'll get a tailor to come over to Jason's house in a few days and we'll get that settled.
"I'll talk to Elizabeth and Jason about who's standing up for them." Abby said.
"I can get the invitations done." Olivia said.
"I'll work with them on a list." Monica said.
Tracy piped up. "I can do the seating for the reception."
"I'll handle the caterer and the cake." Monica said.
Cook spoke up. "I'll make the cake."
Monica smiled. "Just make sure it's chocolate."
"I wonder if he has a ring?" Lila asked.
Johnny spoke up. "He does. I was with him when he picked it out."
Monica smiled.
"I'll go talk to Father Coates and buy him off." Edward said.
Alan chuckled. "Maybe I should go with you."
Edward scowled.
"There are a few caterers that the hotel uses, I can make a few calls." Olivia added.
"That would be great." Monica said. "Do we have just about everything?"
"I'll call Dillon and see if he can videotape it."
Monica nodded. "There's one more major thing."
AJ frowned. "What?"
"Jason remembers everything; his childhood; all of us." She said emotionally.
Tracy smiled. "It's like a Christmas freaking miracle in July."
Edward chuckled. "I knew he'd come back to us."
"And, he's going to change his name legally to Jason Morgan Quartermaine."
Everyone cheered and Monica couldn't stop smiling. It was a miracle and one she'd always be grateful for.

Elizabeth finished eating the chocolate pudding fully content.
Jason smiled. "You making eating sexy."
Liz grinned. "It was that good. We need to talk about some wedding details. I thought I'd ask Emily to be my maid of honor and then Abby and Olivia could be my bridesmaids."
"Well, I'd probably have Johnny be my best man and AJ and Francis could be my groomsmen."
"That sounds good. I'll text it to Monica."
Johnny walked into the room.
"Where have you been?" Jason asked.
"At the mansion talking about your wedding. Congratulations on the engagement and baby." He said smiling.
"Thanks. So, will you be my best man?"
Johnny grinned. "Of course."
Liz got up. "I need to use the girl's room. Be right back." She said disappearing into the bathroom.
"Did you get it?" Jason asked.
"Here you go." He said handing him the ring box. "You're a lucky man."
"Definitely." He said opening it and then putting it under the blanket.
Liz came out and looked around. "Where did Johnny go?"
"He had some things to do. Francis is on the door though."
Liz got back into bed. "I can't believe we're getting married."
She snuggled into his side and then frowned. "Ow…what is that?"She said looking under the covers. She grabbed the box and gasped. "Jason?"
He smiled. "Open it."
She gasped when she saw the beautiful diamond and ruby ring. "It's beautiful."
"Elizabeth, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife." He asked.
"My answer will always be yes."
He kissed her and then put the ring on her finger.
"Wow." She said holding it up. "When did you get it?"
"About a week after we found you. I wanted to be prepared. I was never letting you go again."
She teared up. "Thank you. I love you so much." She said before kissing him again. For once, she had everything she had ever wanted.

Carly was in a funk. She had heard about the wedding and was livid. There was no way in hell she could let that happen. Sonny was just glad that his wife hadn't heard about the baby. That was something that he had hoped to keep from her for a while.
Carly walked over to the window. Helmut and Marcie were gone so no one knew about her hand in what happened and she was eager to keep it that way. Somehow, she needed to get back into Jason's good graces.
"I have to run to the warehouse." Sonny said walking towards the door.
Carly didn't even answer him she was so deep and thought. That is why she never felt Johnny creep up behind her. He was dressed in all black and had a mask on. He faked an English accent. "You were warned." He growled.
Carly's eyes grew big and she gasped when she felt the needle pierce her skin. She started to struggle and then she felt really weird.
Johnny pushed her away from her and Carly fell to her knees. He darted out through the kitchen unseen.
Carly was gasping. Helmut must have sent someone after her. "Oh God." She muttered before passing out.
Johnny drove back to the office. He had some things he needed to finish up for a client they would be seeing in a few days. Word had spread and more people were seeking them out. The psychotic drug should be coursing its way through Carly's veins. It was time released and she'd start out being a little off and then in a few days, she'd be full out acting crazy. She would lose everything, including her sanity eventually and it couldn't happen to a more deserving person.

Jason woke up the next morning with a smile on his face. His girl was sleeping in his arms and soon she would be his wife.
Monica walked in. "How did you sleep?"
"Very well. I feel good." He said.
"Alice is bringing breakfast in a half hour." She said.
"Thank you for everything that you're doing."
Monica smiled. "I've waited so long for you to settle down. I couldn't be happier that you chose Elizabeth."
"I feel the same way."
"The court hearing for Michael is on Friday. Do you think you'll be up to it?"
Jason nodded. "Yes. I wouldn't miss it."
Johnny had told him that he had injected Carly. Hopefully, before the hearing, she'd be acting a little more crazy and then he'd push her over the edge at the hearing.
"AJ is so excited. Emily went over and got the penthouse ready for Michael." The four year old had a playroom and a Cars bed in his bedroom. Edward had practically bought out the entire toy store between stocking the penthouse and the mansion. Leticia had agreed to split nanny duties so that Michael would be comfortable.
Jason smiled. "I know he'll be happy with AJ and if things work out with Olivia, he'll be a very lucky little boy."
"I agree. The Quartermaines are on a winning streak."
Elizabeth stretched and then bolted up. "Crap." She said scrambling out of the bed and running for the bathroom.
Jason looked at his mother concerned.
"It's probably morning sickness." Monica said. "It's perfectly normal."
A few minutes later, Liz came out of the bathroom. "That was close."
Monica touched her forehead just to make sure it wasn't warm. "Get back in bed and let your stomach settle. Alice should be here soon with breakfast."
Liz nodded and got back in bed.
"How long will the sickness last?" Jason asked. He hated seeing her suffer.
"Well she's already around ten weeks or so. It could be gone in a few weeks or she could have a while longer. It's different with everybody." Monica said. "You should put some saltine crackers on your nightstand so she can eat a few as soon as you wake up. Sometimes it helps if you're stomach isn't empty."
"Okay." He said softly rubbing Liz's back.
Alice walked in. "Breakfast is served."
Liz smiled.
"Banana smoothie. Can you stand eggs?" Alice asked.
"Yes, I've been fine with them." Liz said sitting up. The smoothie sounded really good.
"Okay, here is a breakfast sandwich with eggs, ham, and cheese. And there are some almonds in there as well." Alice said smiling. Cook wanted to make sure she got some of the vitamins and minerals she needed.
Liz smiled. "Tell Cook I said thank you. This smoothie is to die for." Liz said taking another sip.
Alice put down another container for Jason. "Cook said you had to eat breakfast Jason. You're going to have to be a good example to that baby so you need to get started."
Jason smirked. "Cook said all of that?"
"Well, me too but that's beside the point." Alice said. "Don't worry, it won't kill you."
Jason opened the container and there were two breakfast sandwich and Alice handed him some black coffee.
"Thanks." Jason said. "I am actually hungry."
Alice smiled. "Congratulations you two."
"Alice, I would love it if you read a poem for us during the service."
Alice was shocked. "Really?"
"You are a big part of what keeps this family running. It would be an honor to have you be a part of the wedding."
Alice eyes filled with tears. "Thank you Elizabeth. That would mean a lot to me."
Monica smiled as she watched Alice hurry out of the room. "That was really nice of you."
Liz shrugged. "Alice rocks."
Jason smiled as he watched Liz enjoy her breakfast. He was proud of her.
