Chapter 54 - Epilogue
One Year Later
Milo and Ellie were married. Nathan had proposed to Emily and she accepted. Carly and Lorenzo broke up. She was now seeing Jax. Zander had met an Italian girl name Liliana and they were getting serious. He was helping Maximus run the business there and doing a great job. Milo and Ellie were going to relocate there so he could take his position.
Max wanted to stay in Port Charles because Leticia's family was there. He had brought a ring for her and was thinking about how he wanted to propose to her.
Kyla was keeping Johnny and Robin very busy. They were even talking about giving her a sibling.
Elizabeth walked into the kitchen with Jake on her hip. Jason turned and looked at her and gave her a lopsided smile.
Jake squealed and lifted his hands up.
"Hold on buddy." Jason said drying off his hands. He took Jake from his mother and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "You drool like your mommy." He said wiping Jake's mouth with his bib.
Liz chuckled. "Well, you are that handsome."
He leaned over and kissed her. They were expecting Johnny and Robin for dinner. Johnny walked in holding Kyla and Liz grabbed her. "Hello beautiful." She said as Kyla said hi.
Jake squealed and Kyla laughed.
Robin walked in. "Hey guys." She said putting her bag on the counter. She kissed Jake on the head.
"Let's go out on the deck." Jason said.
They all went and sat down outside. It was a beautiful day. The business was quiet and they were all enjoying the lack of chaos.
They put Jake and Kyla down on a blanket. The men sat down with them while Liz and Robin talked.
"We're thinking about having another one." Robin said.
Liz looked over at her. "Really?"
"We didn't want them to be really far apart."
Liz nodded. "Jake is such a handful. I can't even imagine having another one right now."
"Give it another year."
"Did you ever think we'd be sitting around talking about stuff like this?"
Robin shook her head. "Hell no."
They laughed.
"I wouldn't trade the experience for anything though." Liz said.
They watched their husbands and the kids. "They're so cute with them." Robin said.
Liz grinned. "I love it when Jason talks baby talk."
Robin chuckled. "Yeah, big bad enforcer isn't so big and bad now."
"I never thought it was possible to love him more every day, but I do." Liz said wistfully.
"I know."
Both men looked over at their wives like they knew they were talking about them. Jason then looked at Johnny. "We're lucky men."
"You can say that again."
"My life sucked before Elizabeth."
Johnny grinned as Jason watched him knowing that Johnny's life had sucked for a while after Elizabeth.
"But you found Robin."
Johnny nodded. "I did and I'm very happy."
They laughed as Jake tried to crawl after Kyla and then gave up and yelled at her instead.
"I have a feeling my son is going to spend most of his life chasing after your daughter."
Johnny grinned. "She's a runner that one. Good luck with that Jake." He said picking him and lifting him into the air. Jake squealed and drooled on Johnny's face.
"Ugh, you slimed me." He said as Jake giggled.
Jason handed him a wipe.
"Don't tease my baby about his drool." Liz said sitting next to Jason."He's sensitive."
Johnny handed Jake to her as Robin sat down next to him. Kyla came running towards them and dropped something in Robin's hand and she screeched and threw it. "Kyla Rose." She yelled as her daughter giggled at her mother's reaction to the caterpillar.
Johnny laughed and handed Robin a wipe.
"Jake, you are not allowed to hand mommy any bugs or insects." Liz said.
Jake grinned at her.
"Jason will you fly me?" Kyla asked.
Jason got up and picked her up and held her above his head as Kyla held her arms out. Jake yelled and Johnny got up and did the same thing with him.
Liz grinned as she watched them. Her life was full of love and laughter and that's all she ever wanted.

Ten Years Later
Liz watched Jason walk towards the bed. He had just taken a shower and he still looked as hot as the day she had met him.
"Why are you still awake?"
She smiled. "I was waiting for you."
He smiled and crawled into bed. "I missed you."
He had been on a business trip and had just gotten back.
"I missed you and EJ too." She said smiling.
He grabbed her face and kissed her deeply. "God I love your mouth."
"Even when I talk dirty?"
"Even better." He said moving on top of her.
She could feel him getting harder against her belly. "You make me so wet." She said loving how his body felt against hers.
He kissed her with abandon until they both needed to come up for air. They quickly wiggled out of their clothes.
"I can't wait." He said huskily.
"Me either."
And then he snapped his hips into her and entered her to the hilt as Liz moaned his name. He had missed how she felt. Starting to move, she lifted her hips to meet his body, enjoying every delicious moment. He pulled out and flipped her over and Liz got on her knees. Grabbing her hips he speared into her as she gripped the sheets. Jason hammered in and out of her mercilessly.
"Harder." Liz yelled.
Jason grunted and used her hips so that he could go even deeper and Liz yelled out, "Oh God, I'm cumming."
Jason felt her tighten around him and he continued to pump even as Liz fell forward and after a few more strokes he came hard, moaning her name. And they both collapsed onto the bed.
"I love you." Liz finally said when she regained her focus.
"I love you too baby." He said kissing her shoulder.
"Tomorrow is the first day of school."
"I'll help you with the kids before I leave."
She smiled. Their daughter Lila Tracy Morgan was eight and a spitfire. She looked like Elizabeth but had Jason's eyes. And she was the most excited to go back to school. Her best friend Kylie Paige O'Brien would be in her class. Liz and Robin had gotten pregnant around the same time. Johnny was stunned that he would have to deal with two girls. Both of them had stopped after two.
Jake and Kyla were still two peas in a pod. Jake was more reserved and Kyla was a total chatterbox. Carly had married Jax and they had a little girl named Josslyn. Milo and Ellie had a little girl named Mellissa who they called Mellie. She was six and very inquisitive. A year after Max and Leticia married, they had twin boys name Micah and Dominic. Emily and Nathan had a hard time conceiving at first but Emily finally had a little girl named Emma.
Lila and Edward had passed away within two months of each other. The loss was rather hard on the family. But they survived. Elizabeth and Tracy were running ELQ together and it had never been stronger. It was just what Edward had wished for.
Jason had mostly gone legit over the years. The other families still used his docks but other than that, he had built quite the coffee conglomerate and hoped to leave it all to Jake someday and Lila too if she was interested.
And as the years went by, their family thrived. Their kids went to college. Jake ended up working with Jason and to everyone's surprised asked Kylie instead of Kyla to marry him.
Elena and Maximus still came to visit often. Zander's wife Liliana had just given birth so they all traveled to Italy to welcome the new family member Carissa.
Standing on a cliff, Liz looked over at her husband. He had some gray in his sideburns and some slight wrinkles, but he was still a very handsome man. He turned to look at her and his blue eyes sparkled with love. She grinned.
"What?"
"You still take my breath away." She said looking at him lovingly.
Jason blushed a little which was a rare event. "I think I fall in love with you more every day. " He said leaning down. "You're so beautiful." He said before kissing her softly.
They hugged as their children watched from afar.
"Dad makes it totally impossible for me to find the right guy because they never measure up to him." Lila said.
Jake smiled. His parents were so happy together and he realized how rare that was amongst his friends. "I feel sorry for whoever you bring home."
Lila turned and looked at him.
"Dad will totally give him shit."
Lila chuckled. "Why do you think I never bring any of my boyfriends home?"
Jake chuckled. "When are you going to tell them about you and Nik Taglianni?"
Lila gave her brother a look. She knew her dad would have a fit if he knew she was dating Dominic's youngest son. He never wanted them around the mafia. "You better not tell him."
"Do you love him?"
"He treats me well and he reminds me a little bit of daddy." She said smiling.
Jake grinned. "You like him….you're gonna marry him." He said in a sing song voice.
She punched her brother and he tugged her hair and then ran. Gasping, she chased after him as Jason and Liz turned and saw them.
"Some things never change." Liz said grinning.
"That's for sure."
Jason eventually found out about Nik and flipped his lid but after seeing them together, it reminded him of him and his wife so he took a step back. His little girl had grown up too fast. He knew he'd have to let her go soon and that killed him.
Elizabeth really liked Nik, so she wasn't opposed to it at all.
Two years later, they were married and Jason actually had to excuse himself at the reception because he was so emotional.
Liz found him in the garden. "You okay?"
He nodded. "It's hard to let go. She's my little girl."
Liz took his face in her hands. "She won't be far." She said before kissing him deeply.
He held her tightly and they began to sway with the music that was filling the air.
Lily watched out the window and then hurried outside. She knew this was hard on her dad. "May I cut in?" She asked.
Jason pulled back from his wife and smiled. His daughter looked so beautiful. "Yes."
Liz smiled and stepped back as she wiped a tear from her eye watching them dance together. Jake, who had followed his sister, came up behind her. "May I have this dance madam?"
Liz grinned. "Why of course."
Elena and Maximus watched them from the window and soon several other people watched too, all of them with big grins on their faces. The Morgan family was a sight to behold.
Life just got sweeter for them. What had started with angst had ended up with love and a deep connection that had stood the test of time. It was an unbreakable bond.
The End
