Chapter 22

Two weeks later.

Jason and Liz have just come home from Italy. Liz is really wanting to just sit around the house and not do anything. Jason knows that come Monday he has to check in at the warehouse. They get off the penthouse.

Jase: Liz, I am going to go let Sonny know we are home.

Liz: You sure you want to do that? We can just sneak into the penthouse and have one more night that is just for us.

Jase: As much as I would love that, Ric has been really quiet since the visit at the warehouse. I need to meet with Sonny. I know that something is going to happen, and I hope that Sonny and I can deal with it.

Liz: Fine, I need to talk to Carly anyway. Lets go. They walk over to Sonny's penthouse and walk in.

Jase: Sonny, you here? We are home.

Sonny: Hey Newlyweds, how was the honeymoon?

Liz: It was awesome. I love Italy. I want to go back. Liz is grinning the biggest grin that anyone has ever seen.

Sonny: Well glad you had a good time.

Liz: Thank you. Is Carly here?

Sonny: Upstairs in the nursery.

Liz: Ok I am going up there. Call when you are ready to leave Jase.

Jase: Ok, honey. I love you.

Liz: Love you too.

Sonny: Ok, enough. Go on up and see Carly. Liz walks up the stairs.

Sonny: So Jase what's up? Why are you not over there romancing your wife?

Jase: Anything on Ric? It is bugging me. I know he is planning something.

Sonny: I am having him followed and nothing is going on.

Jase: That is what is bothering me. I don't think that he would give up that easy.

Sonny: Don't worry about it. Now tell me about Italy. Maybe I should take Carly there for our anniversary.

Meanwhile upstairs in the nursery

Liz: Carly, I'm home.

Carly: Glad to see you. How was it?

Liz: It was the best. I can't believe that he took me to Italy. We talked about going but I never thought I would actually get there. He rented out a whole bed and breakfast just for us. When we got there the suite we were staying in was covered in flowers and candles. I mean it looked so romantic. Carly, he carried me over the threshold and everything. That first day we just spent in the bed and breakfast.

Carly: Ok we can skip the bedroom details so tell me what all did you do?

Liz: Well if you want to skip the bedroom stuff then we didn't do much. I mean after all it was our honeymoon. She winks at Carly. Anyway Carly, that second day we went out to this little resteraunt and had a candle lit dinner there. We ate spaghetti and drank wine and just spent the day together. It was awesome. He went and bought me a vase that day too.

Carly: A vase???

Liz: Yeah a hand blown vase made out of that red glass.

Carly: Oh MY GOD!!! Tell me more girl.

Liz: Really Carly we spent most of our time in the room. The suite had a hot tub in it. We spent a lot of time there. 

Carly: Hot tub sex is great isn't it.

Liz: Yeah it was good but it wasn't the best. The best was on the plane ride there.

Carly: EWWW Which couch.

Liz: Both. She grins. SHHH don't tell Sonny.

Carly: Don't worry about it. I am calling and having it cleaned first thing in the morning.

Liz: Fine. Just then Jase calls from downstairs. Ok, I guess he wants to go home. I'll see you later.

Carly: Oh before you guys leave, we got something for you. It's from Bryan and Erika.

Liz: Ok, I'll head downstairs and meet up with Jase.

Carly: I'll be down in a minute.

Downstairs 5 minutes later.

Jase: CARLY!!!!!!!! WE WANT TO GO HOME!!!! He yells up the stairs.

Carly: Jeesh Jase, hold your horses. Sonny get that box out of the closet please.

Sonny: Carly, lets deal with that tomorrow. Let them be in peace tonight.

Carly: Sonny, I already told Liz about the gift.

Sonny: Fine he walks to the closet. He opens the door and pulls down a box.

Carly: This is for you guys from Bryan and Erika. They wanted to wish you congrats on the marriage and the baby. Sonny is lugging a huge box.

Sonny: Jase come help me please.

Jase: Ok He walks over. Liz come see this. Liz walks over.

Liz: OH MY GOD!!! They got us a crib. She looks at it. Jase did you see this thing? IT is pure oak wood. It is got to be an expensive one.

Carly: Erika said it's the one that Bryan got her when she was pregnant with Justin and thought you might like it. There is a whole nursery set. They bought it all.

Liz: That is way too much. I looked at this crib. The crib alone is 500 dollars. The rest of the set is another 500.

Jase: Liz, why would they do this? It's not like we did anything for them.

Liz: I don't know, I will have to call tomorrow and talk to them.

Jase: Well lets go home.

Sonny: Lets take the crib over there. Everything else is there. I just left it sitting in the living room for now. I don't know if you have decided which room to put the nursery in or not.

Liz: I guess it's time to start figuring that out huu?

Carly: Yes, that way we can start decorating it. Are you going to find out the sex of the baby?

Liz: We haven't discussed that yet. I keep thinking I want to be surprised but it might be easier to decorate if we knew.

Jase: Whatever you want to do. Now can we go home? I haven't been home and played pool in almost 3 weeks.

Liz: Jase, you aren't playing pool when we get home. That will be tomorrow after I call Bryan and Erika and talk to them see how their anniversary went and what the deal is with the nursery set.

Jase: Fine Lets go.

The next day:

Liz is on the phone with Bryan and Jase is over playing pool finally.

Liz: But Bryan that is an expensive set. I can't accept it.

Bryan: Don't worry about it. You were going to need it anyway. There is no returns and you can pay us back by watching Justin sometime when you come to visit us. The door is always open to you guys. Especially after letting Erika and I go to the island for a week. That was so relaxing, no crying baby, just the 2 of us we got to spend quality time together before I go back on the road. Thank you for that.

Liz: No problem. Hey does Erika want to come up whenever Carly throws the baby shower for me since you do know that she will throw one? She can even bring Justin. He is so cute. Jase starts to glare at Liz.

Jase: Come on Liz, lets go see Lila.

Liz: Ok Bryan I have to go. The hubby is having a fit. I have to go.

Bryan: Hey, at least its not you nagging him. That's how it is in my house. Just kidding. I love my wife. Anyway, I'll talk to you later.

Liz: Ok bye. She hangs up the phone.
