Capturing The Dream – Chapter 3

Elizabeth stood there just looking at Jason in shock. "I'm dreaming," she said and closed her eyes again hoping when she would reopen them that she would wake up. As she opened her eyes again he was still standing there in front of her, she was speechless.

"Elizabeth," Jason said so softly that it sent shivers down her body. He then reached and took her hand in his. She couldn't believe he was really here in front of her. Only in her dreams did she ever see him finding her, she expected Ric to try, but never thought Jason would.

"Come with me, Elizabeth . . . please?" Jason said in a desperate tone. Elizabeth could see the pleading in his eyes for her to go with him. She simply nodded her head yes and that was all he needed.

Elizabeth lived in a small house on the beach; she was renting it from some friends of her grandmother. It was a beautiful place to paint; day or night it gave her great inspiration. With all that was going on in her life right now this had been the perfect place to think and relax.

Jason held Elizabeth's hand tight as he led her to the beach. Not saying a word as they walked along the beach, which was lit up by the full moon that was out tonight. Their only music was the waves as they came crashing down on the surf. Suddenly stopping when he felt her shiver. "Elizabeth . . . I'm so sorry, I didn't even notice."

Jason pulled his leather jacket off and quickly wrapped it around her. She looked up to him with a smile as he rubbed both her arms with his hands. "Let me get you back, your not really dressed to be on the beach at this time of night." Jason said with concern in his voice.

"Jason, I'll be fine . . . your jacket will keep me warm enough."

"But the baby . . . I wasn't thinking," as Jason spoke he looked toward her now well formed stomach.

Elizabeth squeezed his hand slightly, "Jason the baby's fine and I am fine, nothing to worry about, really." Elizabeth took his hand and let him touch her stomach. Jason's worry seemed to leave his face as he felt the baby moving inside her. Tears began to form in Elizabeth's eyes as he slowly got to his knees and put his cheek to her stomach. "Hello baby, you have a beautiful and loving mother . . . she will take such good care of you . . . you are very blessed to have be your mother. I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Jason . . .I hope to get to know you very well, just to let you know I love your mother very much and hope to help her take care of you."

With that said Jason kissed her stomach softly and slowly stood to his feet. Seeing the tears streaming down Elizabeth's cheeks and the shock in her eyes Jason pulled her to his chest and held her.
