A/N – Thanks for the comments! I realized that at some point in this story, I screwed up and started calling Karissa, Larissa. Eventually, I'll have to go back and fix that. Which do you prefer? This story will conclude at the end of next week.
Chapter 72
Jake touched his mother's stomach. "When will I be able to feel them kick?"
"It should be soon. I can feel them a little, but it will get stronger."
"I can't believe you're having more babies."
She smiled. "Me either, but I'm so happy."
"I feel so much older, but I'll still watch over them."
"I'm scared for when they are teenagers. You guys are gonna suck."
Jake chuckled. "That is without a doubt. I'll be in full enforcer mode."
She laughed. "Do you miss it?"
"Yes and no. I wouldn't trade what we're doing right now for anything, but sometimes I do."
"I'm so proud of you. Just take some time to have fun too. How is Sophie?"
"She's doing well. Things should ease over the summer. Right now, she's just concentrating on proving herself and learning as much as she can."
"Invite her over for dinner here and there. We don't bite."
"Carina is a good cook."
"Yes, she is, and I'm glad she and Aidan get along."
"Cam and I are going on a double date this weekend."
Liz smiled. She is so happy her boys get along so well. "That's great. Lucky called me."
"Yeah?"
"They are getting married next month."
"Can you travel?"
"I hope so. I can't fly after twenty-eight weeks, so I will just make the cutoff. He's sending me all the information and then I can discuss it with my doctor. My blood pressure has been steady."
He feels better now that they are back, and he can keep an eye on her. If necessary, he'll represent the family with Aidan at the wedding. "Are you resting?"
"Yes. I take naps and don't overextend myself. Your father or Drew goes for a walk with me in the evening."
"Good. I worry about you."
She smiled fondly. "Always my little protector."
He frowned much like his father. "You meant big protector, right?"
Aidan chuckled. "She had it right the first time."
"You sound like Cam."
"Is that a bad thing?" Cam said approaching them.
Jason handed her some water which she drank.
Monica joined them. "Hello, family."
Liz grinned. "Mom, come in." Monica had insisted on her calling her that if Liz was comfortable.
"You are glowing. How are my grandbabies?"
"They are growing fast."
Monica smiled. "They know we are in a hurry to meet them."
Drew hugged his mother. "I missed you."
"I missed you more. You've got a tan."
"Jason keeps us working. I swear, the man never sleeps."
"Well, he was always a workaholic."
The boys hugged her.
"I have something for you."
"You didn't have to," Aidan said.
"I know. You can share." She handed him a bag.
Aidan pulled out a new game and the boys rushed off to try it.
"That's one way to clear a room. Are you settled in?" Liz asked.
"Yes. Francis helped me. You had already done so much."
"Our nanny slash housekeeper and cook did most of the work. I'm getting very good at delegating."
Monica is glad that she's going to be around to keep an eye on Liz. She always worked up to the point of conception at General Hospital. This time, they are going to make sure things go as easily as possible.
Liz's eyes narrowed. "Why do I feel like you are thinking of ways to keep me in a bed?"
Monica grinned. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Jason chuckled.
"However, Epiphany assured me that if you were causing trouble, she'd be more than happy to get on a plane and keep you in line."
Liz rolled her eyes. "Please…"
"I'm gonna tell her you said that," Johnny said.
"You would. Don't make me call Brenda."
"And tell her what?"
Liz smirked. "Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Has she always been this evil?"
"She's blaming everything on hormones right now," Jason said.
"And rightfully so," Monica said.
Liz pouted. "I feel ganged up on."
Jason tried not to smile. That pout is becoming a classic and she uses it often to try to get her way.
"Cute pout, but I've seen it all. It's not going to work on me. I'm going to go get you a healthy snack."
Liz eyed Aidan who had come back to check on her while Cam and Jake battled. "I will get you a class with a world-renowned chef if you sneak me in some cheese puffs or Doritos."
Aidan grinned. "Dad, look away."
"I will frisk you every time you enter the house from now on." At the sight of her pout, Jason chuckled. "I have to check on something. I'll be right back."
Johnny followed. "You're going to get her cheese puffs, aren't you?"
"Johnny, if a few cheese puffs are going to put a smile on my wife's face, then I'm going to get them for her. Although, her pout is pretty cute."
Johnny shook his head. "I told you that you were whipped."
"I just have a method to my madness. When I give her what she wants here and there, she doesn't complain when I make her eat the healthy stuff. It's called balance."
Jason opened the back of the truck and grabbed a bag of cheese puffs.
Johnny cracked up. "You bought a case?"
"You better not tell. Yes, I did. She likes them. Everything is good in moderation."
"You are like Yoda."
Jason grinned. "Try to remember that."

Elizabeth had gone upstairs to use the bathroom and when she came out, she grinned when she spotted the cheese puffs on the bed. There is a note and it said, anything for my babies. What cracked her up, is that it had said love Jason, but Johnny had crossed out Jason's name and put his. The best was that there was an arrow, and Jason had written, do you really believe that? They are too much. She shut the door and then opened the bag and hummed while she ate a few.
Jason peeked inside. "Good?"
She nodded. "It's so good."
After popping one more into her mouth, a feral grin lit up her face and his eyes narrowed. He knows too well what that look means and he is eager to please, so he shut the door and locked it.
"Strip."
He obeys her command, not questioning why she is not getting naked.
"Lay on your back."
After crawling onto his back, he assumed the position.
A cheese puff is laid on top of each nipple and then one on his belly button.
He grinned when her lips pressed near the nipple and then she sucked in the cheese puff and then licked up the crumbs.
"So good," she said before teasing his nipple and moving to the other side.
His cock is already standing at attention as she crunches on the next one and then lightly nips his nipple before using her tongue to lap up the crumbs.
"Best snack ever…"
He sighed as she moved to his belly button and then ate the last one before swirling her tongue inside it.
"Elizabeth…" He is painfully hard.
She smirked and then eyed his erection before licking her way up his shaft. "Mmm," she said before her mouth smothered him; loving the slight whimper he made as she pumped and sucked him just the way he likes it.
"Baby…"
She hummed as she continued, wanting him to come in her mouth.
"I'm going to come."
She started to swallow, and he pounded the bed with his hand.
"Elizabeth…" Her name was said on a groan and he couldn't hold on. He tensed and then she took all he had to give as he comes endlessly.
When his body went limp, she cleaned him with her tongue and then looked up.
"Did you like your reward?"
"God, yes."
"Just keep the cheese puffs coming and…" She couldn't keep a straight face, so they both laughed.
"You're crazy, but I love you," he said soulfully.
She crawled back up his body and he could feel her wetness, so he gently moved her onto her back and then sucked her hard nipples making her moan. Pregnancy is making them more sensitive and he loves her responses.
"Do you want the puffs?"
He chuckled, making his breath skip across the wetness and her nipples hardened even more.
"I like how you taste better."
She gripped the cover. "Taste me, Jason. I can't wait."
He moved down her body, stopping to swirl her belly button like she had done to him and her body jerked.
When his tongue slid home, all thoughts escape her and her need to come almost is overwhelming. Her hips found a rhythm as he matched hers and right before she was about to go over the edge he retreated and then slammed his cock into her hot channel making her gasp his name.
"The room is soundproofed, baby, feel free to yell."
And that she did when he began to pump harder; his name is like a chant as she starts to fall over the edge.
"Elizabeth!" he said coming again as she shattered beneath him.
Once he was spent, he pulled back and laid next to her.
When her stomach fluttered, his eyes widened. "Was that?"
"Yes."
"Did I hurt them?"
"No. Maybe you woke them up though."
He is astounded as his hand brushes over her stomach. Adjusting his position, he began to kiss her belly. "Hey babies, this is your daddy. I love you. Pretend that didn't happen, okay?"
Liz giggled.
"They'll think I'm a pervert."
"They don't understand what we are doing. Maybe they just want more puffs."
She ate several more.
"You're turning my children into puff addicts."
She grinned. "There's always rehab." She held one up for him.
"I'd rather taste it on you again."
His eyes had darkened and she almost moaned.
"You are the hottest husband on the face of this earth."
"Ditto, my sexy wife."
They kissed and she can feel him getting hard again which made her body tremble.
"As much as I'd like to do it again, we probably do have to be careful. I need water."
"Let me calm down for a minute and I'll go get it."
"Thank you."
"I'll make it up to you later."
He gazed at her lovingly. "I love you so much, Elizabeth. You are so beautiful and sexy, and I love that you're carrying my babies. Any time that I get to spend with you means the world to me."
"Oh, Jason. I love you more than anything. You gave me my dream; a loving family, Italy, and happiness. Thank you."
They kissed languidly before Jason pushed off the bed and cleaned up before heading downstairs to get his girl a drink.

Lucky's wedding was beautiful. The architecture of the church had Liz in awe and Gillian was stunning. The reception was held in a huge hall and she enjoyed meeting Gillian's very funny family.
She plopped next to Liz. "Are you okay?" She didn't want Liz to get too tired out.
"I'm good. I've been resting and drinking water. You look like you're having a blast."
"I am. This is a dream come true."
"He's a good man."
She smiled. "We're going to try for a baby."
Liz met her smile. "I'm so happy for you. Babies are a blessing," she said touching her belly.
"Are they moving?"
Liz nodded her permission, so Gillian touched her stomach.
After a minute or so, one of the babies moved as Gillian's eyes widened.
"Very cool."
Lucky came over. "What am I missing?"
"The babies are moving."
They switched places and as soon as Gillian stood, she's pulled away.
"May I?"
"Sure…"
Lucky placed his hand to the side and then smiled when he felt a slight kick.
"It never gets old," Liz said.
"I'm so happy you came. I just feel like we've come full circle."
She placed her hand on his. "We have."
Aidan watched them with a smile on his face. He loves that everyone is getting along. While Jake had wanted his parents together, Aidan didn't feel the same about his father and mother but are glad they are friendly. Gillian grabs his hand and they go off to dance.
"You look beautiful, Elizabeth. I'm truly happy for you."
"Thank you. I'm happy for you too. Gillian is wonderful and she loves you so much. The way she looks at you is the way you deserve to be adored."
"Outside of you, she's the best thing that has ever happened to me. I don't regret loving you, but it's clear that you belong with him and me with her. I'm glad we came to our senses."
She smiled. "Me too."
Jason handed Liz some fruit punch.
"Thanks."
Lucky stood. "You should sit next to her. Thank you for coming, Jason."
They shook hands. "I'm glad you invited us. Are you going on a honeymoon?"
Lucky nodded. "She has always wanted to go to Africa, so we're headed there tomorrow."
"That sounds like so much fun. Take lots of pictures for me and maybe I can paint one," Liz said.
"I'll keep that in mind."
His name is called by his wife, making him grin. "I'll talk to you later."
Liz wipes a tear away.
"You okay?"
"Yes. He's happy and that makes me feel good. Aidan loves him and they get along so well now. Lucky is like he used to be and doesn't seem so burdened. Gillian told me he's playing the guitar more and singing. Helena took away so much. I'm glad she didn't totally ruin him."
"Me too." Aidan's happiness is important to him.
A slow song came on.
"Will you dance with me?"
"Yes," he said before holding out his hand. After pulling her up, they gently swayed to the music.
She closed her eyes and cherished the moment, and when the babies kicked, he grinned.
"Do they like this song?"
She chuckled. "Apparently not, because I have to pee."
He led her over to the bathrooms. "I'll wait right here."
Gillian ran up to him. "Is she in there?"
"Yeah."
She started to move by him and then stopped and touched his arm. "You are so blessed. She is a gift. Most exes aren't so nice, but she has always made me feel welcome."
"She's a compassionate person."
Gillian smiled. "Be happy, Jason. Life goes so fast. Enjoy the babies, they'll be big before you know it."
With that, she disappeared, and he smiled when Liz appears.
"Hey, beautiful, come here often?"
She smirked. "No, but considering how hot you are, the night is looking even better." Her belly had forced them to be a little creative in the bedroom. They only have a few weeks left before sex might be off the table, so they had been making the most of it.
"I think you need to start yawning soon, so I can get you back to the hotel."
They are interrupted by Gillian.
"I hope you left room for dessert."
Liz grinned. "Oh, you don't have to ask twice."
Jason chuckled. Two seconds ago, she teasingly brushed her hand near his cock and now, all she can think of is cake.
"Come on, honey, they are cutting the cake."
Gillian cracked up due to Jason's expression as she led them to the table.
