Chapter 53 – Special Delivery

A few firemen went up to the tenth floor with Jason and they were able to pry the doors open. Jason looked down the shaft and saw the elevator. It wasn't too far down. He looked to the side and saw the stairs. "I'm going in."

Frank nodded. "Be careful." He said handing Jason some gloves.

He put them on and then made a maneuver and then eased himself onto the stairs. He carefully made his way to his wife and then stepped onto the roof.

Tracy and Elizabeth heard the noise and then saw the panel being moved.

Jason looked over the edge.

"Jason?" Liz said completely shocked.

"Hi baby. I'm coming down."

Tracy shook her head. She couldn't believe Jason climbed down an elevator shaft but she was proud of him.

He jumped down and then got on his knees in front of his wife. "Hi." He said smiling.

She started to cry. "Hi."

She was so relieved that he was there.

He kissed her and then took the bag and gloves off. "How far apart?"

"Seven minutes. They are starting to come faster."

Jason nodded.

Frank's voice rang out. "Morgan are you in there?"

"Yes."

Frank breathed a sigh of relief.

"Contractions are seven minutes apart."

"Mrs. Morgan, I'm Paul. I'm a paramedic."

"How long do you think I have? It's my first baby."

"It could vary but I think you still have a ways to go. How long have you been in labor?"

"I'm not sure. I've been having some pains since last night but I thought it was just something I ate."

"Elizabeth." Jason said exasperatedly.

"Well, how was I supposed to know?"

"Just keep her comfortable Mr. Morgan."

"It's Jason."

"And Elizabeth."

Paul smiled. "Okay."

"Tracy are you okay?" Jason asked.

She nodded. "I'm fine but you're holding her hand the next contraction. I lost feeling ten minutes ago."

Jason smirked. "Okay."

He got comfortable and took Elizabeth's shoes off and started to rub her feet.

"That feels so good." Liz said sighing.

"I'm next." Tracy said before laughing at the look on Jason's face.

A few minutes later Liz started to have a contraction and Jason took her hand. He grimaced as she squeezed it.

"Told you." Tracy said. "No wonder she keeps you in line so well. She doesn't play."

"Maybe you should try and remember that." Elizabeth said grumpily.

"Somebody needs some happy pills."

Jason sighed. "Tracy…."

"I know—I know….shut up."

Johnny ran into the lobby. "Where are they?"

"Who are you?"

"I'm one of her guards."

Frank explained the situation. "Why is it taking so long?"

"There's a part they need for the elevator and they can't locate it."

"Where's the elevator guy?"

He pointed and Johnny went over to him. "What's the part and number that you need?"

The guy rattled it off and Johnny texted it to Spinelli and then called him.

"Spinelli, it's Johnny."

"Hello Sniper."

"I just texted you an elevator part and I need you find one and get it here like yesterday. Elizabeth is stuck on an elevator at ELQ and her water broke."

Spinelli's mouth dropped open. "Oh no, we can't have the prodigy enter the world in such a precarious state. I'll get right on it."

"Thank you Spinelli."

Spinelli feverishly got to work and about ten minutes later, he grinned and picked up the phone and called the place he had found just to make sure they had the part and explained to them the dire need for it.

He made a decision and called Edward.

"Hello."

"Good afternoon Cantankerous one."

"Who is this?"

"Why it is the Jackyl; the Ace of Cyber..."

Edward cut him off. "Is this a prank? I don't have time for this. I'm in the middle of an emergency."

"I am aware of that and I'm pleased to tell you that I have the missing part."

"What!" Edward said. "Where are you?"

"I'm at the Towers but that doesn't matter. Johnny had me find the part and it's an hour away. I was hoping that you could send your helicopter there to retrieve up. It's rush hour traffic…"

Edward cut him off. "Text me the address and all the information and I'll handle it."

"Thank you. Stone cold will be very pleased."

Edward frowned and hung up on him. He forwarded the information Spinelli texted and made a quick call to get the helicopter on the roof ready. He walked over to the fire chief. "I'm Edward Quartermaine, my grandson is in that elevator with his wife and my daughter. We found a part for the elevator and I'm sending my helicopter to get it. They should be back in about twenty minutes."

Frank smiled. "Jason, did you hear that?"

Jason smiled. "I did. Thank you grandfather."

"Tracy, are you okay?" He asked.

"I'm fine daddy. My shoes didn't fare so well and my right hand may never be same again, but hopefully with intense therapy and several drinks I'll get the feeling back."

Edward grinned as Elizabeth, mid-contraction yelled, "Shut it Tracy. My whole body will never be the same again."

Twenty minutes later, Edward sent Johnny to the roof to retrieve the part and they were all relieved to see him hand it to the elevator guy.

"How long will it take you to fix it?" Frank asked.

"About fifteen minutes." The guy said walking away.

Frank got back on the intercom. "We got the part. It will take about fifteen minutes. How are you doing?"

"Exhausted." Liz said as Tracy wiped her brow with a cloth from the bag.

Jason rubbed her belly.

"Feels good." Liz said.

"I love you baby. You're doing good."

Liz made a little noise and drifted off.

Several minutes later, Tracy could feel that Liz was having a contraction but she didn't wake up. She looked up at Jason. "Something's wrong."

Paul heard her. "What happened?"

"She fell asleep after the last contraction and she didn't wake up when the next one hit. That's not normal."

"It could be anything. How much longer?" Paul yelled.

Frank found out. "He's almost done."

"Tell him to hurry that the baby might be in danger right now." Paul said loudly.

Jason tightened his grip on Elizabeth's hand. "Come on baby. You can do this."

He checked her pulse. "Her pulse feels a little weak."

"She might be dehydrated. Is it warm in there?" Paul asked.

"It's a little bit stuffy." Tracy said. She was really worried.

"He's done." Frank yelled.

The elevator jerked and then started moving. Jason breathed a sigh of relief. "We're almost out of here Elizabeth. I need you to fight."

Tracy could tell Jason was starting to freak a little bit. She touched his arm. "She's going to be fine. She has to be."

He nodded.

The doors opened and Paul ran inside and pushed the button to hold the doors open while his partner pushed the gurney close to the door.

"Let's get her on the gurney." He said.

Jason picked her up and gently placed her down. Frank helped Tracy up as Paul rushed Elizabeth to the ambulance. Jason hopped in the back with them and watched as Paul started an IV to get some fluids in her. He checked her pressure and it was low. They got to the hospital in no time and Jason hopped out. Johnny had followed them and ran towards the entrance as Jason and Elizabeth disappeared inside. He had called Elena and they were on their way. Edward and Tracy were in route as well.

They made Jason wait in the hallway while they examined Elizabeth. Epiphany walked up to him. "How is she?"

"I don't know. She passed out at some point."

Kelly walked out. "Jason, she is dehydrated. Her levels are starting to look better but she's really weak after all the stress. I'm going to do a c-section instead of natural birth. Epiphany, can you take him to get changed?"

Epiphany nodded. "Come on."

She took him to a room. "Put on the scrubs and then we'll have you wash your hands. Just put your clothes in this bag when you're finished."

He nodded and quickly changed. He was scared for Elizabeth and the baby. As he changed, he said a silent prayer hoping that everything would go alright.

When he was done, Epiphany took him to a sink and showed him how to scrub his hands and he quickly cleaned up before she took him to Elizabeth.

"Thanks Epiphany. Can you tell my family what is going on?"

She nodded. "I will."

He held Elizabeth's hand. "Hi baby." He said softly.

"Love you." Liz whispered.

"I love you so much."

"Tired."

"I know. You did so well. We're going to see our baby soon."

She smiled a little. "Can't wait."

Kelly walked in. Jason sat down and stared into his wife's eyes as Kelly got to work. Elizabeth was numb from the waist down. It seemed like it took forever but finally Kelly held up the baby who had started to cry. "It's a boy." She said grinning. "Do you want to cut the cord Jason?"

He nodded and he took the scissors from a nurse and cut it as tears welled up in his eyes. The nurse took the baby and Kelly got to work sewing Elizabeth up. Liz was crying. She was tired but the sound of the baby crying was the best thing she had ever heard and she felt so emotional.

Several minutes later, they handed Jason the baby. He sat down so Elizabeth could see him. "He's so beautiful." She said touching his arm.

Jason smiled. "Just like his mommy."

Kelly grinned.

It took about a half hour to close Elizabeth up. They had taken the baby and she finally was able to go to the recovery room. Epiphany brought the baby back in and she was able to hold him. "I think he does look like a Jacob." She said smiling. "Hi Jake."

Jason smiled. "Are we still going with your grandfather's name and Maximus's middle name?"

Liz smiled. "I would like too."

"Okay. Jacob Vincent Morgan it is."

A nurse walked in. "Do you want to try to nurse?"

Liz smiled. "Okay."

She was shown how and finally Jake latched on and Liz started to tear up and smile.

About an hour and a half later she was taken to a room. Shortly thereafter, Elena and Maximus walked in.

"Hi." Liz said smiling.

Elena rushed over to her daughter and kissed both cheeks. "Are you okay sweetie?"

"I'm fine."

Maximus kissed her hand. "We were so worried."

"Kelly took good care of me."

Maximus looked up at Jason. "I heard you climbed down an elevator shaft to get to my daughter."

Jason nodded. "I would do anything for her."

Maximus smiled. "Where's my grandson?"

Jason picked him up and handed him over.

"That's Jacob Vincent Morgan but we'll call him Jake."

Maximus smiled. "You gave him my father's name."

"I tried to convince Jason to change his last name to Giambetti but he wasn't having it."

Maximus and Elena chuckled.

"He's beautiful." Elena said kissing his tiny hand.

They stayed a little while longer and then left so more visitors could come in. Tracy, Edward, and Lila came in next.

Jason handed the baby to Lila and introduced him.

Tracy smiled and looked over at Elizabeth. "Next time, can we be less dramatic?"

Liz rolled her eyes. "Like I planned it."

Edward came over to the bed and gave Elizabeth a kiss on the forehead. "Pay her no mind. I'm so proud of you. You did good."

Liz smiled. "Thank you grandfather."

Edward smiled. He had asked her to call him that and it was the first time she had.

Tracy held the baby. "I'm your Auntie Tracy." She said before kissing Jake on the forehead. "Don't believe anything your mommy and daddy say about me unless it's nice."

Liz grinned.

"Stop hogging the baby Tracy. He needs his great-grandfather.

Tracy rolled her eyes. "You'll just bore him with talk of financial statements and taking over ELQ. Have you even considered that he might want to follow in his father's footsteps? They can call him Vinny."

Jason shook his head. Tracy never stopped.

Edward took the baby from her. "Don't you listen to her Jake. She's still upset about her shoes." He sat down with him and Jason smiled as he watched his family dote on his son.

They left and Monica, Alan, and Emily came in. Liz had fallen asleep. They quietly fussed over the baby.

"You did good son."

"Thanks dad."

Once they cleared out there was a little peace and Jason sat back and thought about the last 24 hrs. He was tired. He couldn't even imagine how exhausted his wife must be.

A few minutes later, Carly, Robin, and Johnny came in.

"How is she?" Carly asked looking over at Liz with concern.

"She's okay."

Robin picked up the baby. "He's so cute."

Johnny smiled. "Kyla will be bossing him around in no time."

Jason smiled.

Liz woke up and Carly went over to her and kissed her on the forehead. "How's my girl?"

"I'm okay."

"I heard about your adventure. You can't do anything the easy way can you?"

Liz smiled. "Apparently not."

Johnny walked over and kissed her. "We're not going to stay long but I just wanted to make sure that you were okay."

She squeezed his hand. "Thank you. Jason told me that Spinelli found the part. Can you tell him I said thank you?"

Johnny nodded. "I will. You get some rest okay?"

She smiled.

Robin handed the baby to Carly and then gave her best friend a kiss. "I'm so glad our kids are going to grow up together."

"Me too."
