Chapter 19

2 months later.

The wedding plans are coming along. The church is booked. The dresses bought invitations bought and sent. The RSVP's starting to come in. The Caterer booked cake bought, entertainment booked and all that was left was a honeymoon destination that Jason said he was taking care of that.

Carly and Liz were sitting around Jason's penthouse one day. Liz looked at the Calendar. August 20 it read. All of a sudden Liz's mind started to run. When was the last time she had her cycle? She couldn't remember. She reached into her purse and dug out the calendar she keeps track of it on. She realizes she hasn't had one since May. That doesn't seem right. She looks again.

Liz: CARLY!!!!!!!! Carly come in on the run.

Carly: What is it. I was in the kitchen looking for something to snack on.

Liz: We have to go to the drug store.

Carly: Why?

Liz: I think I am pregnant.

Carly squeals with delight. First of all lets skip that and call and see if Dr. Meadows can get you in today. Second of all calm down it's probably just stress from the wedding planning.

Liz: That's what I thought too until I looked at the Calendar and realized I haven't had one since May.

Carly: Ok Liz. Call Dr. Meadows and see if she can get you in.

Liz goes to the phone and calls. A few minutes later she gets off the phone.

Liz: She can see me at 2:00 it is 1:30 now. Jase will be home from work at 6 again. I need to be back by then.

Carly: Don't worry you will be. They go out and get Johnny.

Carly: Johnny Liz has a check up at the hospital today at 2 we need a ride in.

Johnny: No problem Mrs. Corinthos. We can leave right now. Johnny, Marco, Liz and Carly all head down to the limo.

Dr. Meadows office.

Dr. Meadows, ok Miss Webber, when was your last cycle?

Liz: Call me Liz Dr. Meadows and I haven't had one since May. I got engaged in June and I thought with all the stress of planning a wedding I was just late I just realized today I haven't had a cycle in awhile.

Dr. Meadows: Ok well we will take a urine sample and draw some blood. The results should be back in a few hours if you want to wait.

Liz: As long as I can leave here by 5 then it will be fine.

Dr. Meadows: I'll put a rush on it. Liz. She goes out and has a phlebotomist come in to draw some blood. Liz gives a urine sample and Carly comes in to wait with Liz.

Carly: Have you and Jason started talking about if you wanted kids?

Liz: Yeah we talked about it in June. Actually right before he proposed we talked about it.

Carly: Knowing Jase he said he wanted kids didn't he?

Liz: Yeah he said he did any time either it happened or I wanted to. We just never decided when we should.

Carly: Well maybe that was decided for you.

Liz: that bedroom right by Jason's room is the one I think I am going to turn into the nursery if I am. I want to paint a mural on the wall.

Carly: Liz, sounds like you are hoping to be pregnant.

Liz: Now that I might be, yeah Carly I am hoping I am. Just then Dr. Meadows comes back in.

Dr. Meadows: Liz, I rushed your tests through; the results are back already and Congratulations. You are pregnant. I want to do an ultrasound and see how far along you actually are.

Liz: Ok. When do you want to do the ultrasound?

Dr. Meadows: I can do it right now if you want. Now Carly can either be in here with you or she can wait in the hall for you.

Liz: I would like her in here with me.

Carly: Really?

Liz: Yes, but you have to stay quiet about me being pregnant. You can't even tell Sonny. I want to tell Jason first and in my own way.

Carly: Fine but you know I won't be able to keep it a secret for long.

Liz: I know I know. Dr. Meadows lets do the ultrasound so that I can leave. Dr. Meadows nods.

Half an hour later they are on their way out of the hospital.

Carly: What do you want to do?

Liz: She looks at her watch. 4:30. Can we stop at the store real quick?

Carly: Yeah why?

Liz: I need to pick something up and get my prenatal vitamins filled.

Carly: Ok no problem

They stop at the store.

Jason's Penthouse.

Liz: 20 minutes to 6. Carly I need your help can you wrap this stuff she hands Carly the bag. The paper is in the bag too I want to use. I have to go get dinner in the oven.

Carly sits down and starts wrapping the gifts.  She laughs as she pulls out the baby bottles, the baby bib that says Daddy's little devil and a matching one that says Daddy's little princess. She then pulls out a Pacifier and the plain wrapping paper. She wraps everything for Liz.

Carly: Ok Liz, it's all wrapped, I am going to go home call me later.

Liz: I am sure we will be over later. You know he is going to want to tell Sonny.

Carly: Yeah I am sure he is. Do you know how hard it will be for me not to tell Sonny now?

Liz: I know but do it for me would you. Just then Jase walks in the door. Jase you are home early. She quickly grabs the gifts off the table and goes into the kitchen. She walks out with a beer and a glass of water.

Liz: I just put dinner in the oven. It won't be ready for about half an hour. Here's a beer.

Jase: Thanks Liz. I got done early so I figured that I would come home. Come sit down and relax. You have been running so much I am shocked you aren't passed out right now.

Liz looks at Jase. Just a minute let me go check dinner. She goes into the kitchen and comes out with a bag behind her back.

Liz: Jase, I got you something today.

Jase: Liz you didn't have to. Just having you is enough.

She hands the bag to Jason.

Liz: Jase just open the gifts.

Jase: Ok if it is so important to you. He reaches in and grabs the first one out of the bag. She knows it's not the bibs or the pacifier. He opens it.

Jase: Baby Bottles?? He reaches in for the second and opens it. Pacifier. Liz am I sensing a theme here? He reaches the third present. He opens it. Baby Bibs. Liz are you?

Liz: Yes, about 6 weeks along.

Jase: Really?? He gets the biggest grin on his face. I am going to be a daddy??? I can't believe it. He lifts her up and kisses her. We have to go tell Sonny.

Liz: Ok let me go turn the oven down so dinner doesn't burn.

Jase: Turn it off we are going out to Celebrate. She runs in and grabs the meal out of the oven and throws it in the fridge.

Liz: Ok she says as she comes out of the kitchen lets go. They go over to sonny and Carly's. Jase don't even bother to knock.

He throws open the door.

Jase: SONNY!!! CARLY!!!! Carly comes down the stairs and Sonny out of the kitchen.

Sonny: Jase. What is up man? You need to calm down.

Jase: Liz is pregnant. I am going to be a father.

Sonny: Congrats Man! I am happy for you. Carly comes over and hugs Jason as Sonny hugs Liz.

Sonny: How far along are you Liz?

Liz? About 6 weeks.

Sonny: The night he proposed?

Liz: I think so it felt different that night. It felt like our souls connected that night Sonny.

Carly: That's how it felt the night I got pregnant with Morgan too Liz. I'll bet you it was that night.

Jase: Lets all go out to Celebrate!!!!!! Sonny nods his head. How about the No-Name?

Sonny agrees. They all head out.
