Elizabeth couldn't believe everything that had happened today on her birthday of all days. Francis was shot and was in surgery, Sorel had given her a message and Brenda was still in with the doctors. She was trying to stay strong but inside her heart was pounding a hundred miles pre minute until she heard his voice.
"Elizabeth," Jason said.
"Jason," Elizabeth said.
Without thinking Jason took her into his arms kissing her hard as she hugged him tightly. Sonny watched as the kiss ended and they just hung onto one another. Brenda walked out Sonny rushed over to her she hug Sonny tightly. The tears began to fall down her face.
"It's okay," Sonny said.
"I guess it's all getting to me now," Brenda laughed.
"Me too," Elizabeth said still holding onto Jason.
"You were so calm and in control," Brenda said.
"That's the one thing my dad taught me, never panic always stay calm," Elizabeth said.
"He was right, any word on Francis," Jason asked.
"Not yet," Sonny said.
"Elizabeth what is it," Jason asked.
"Right before you came Sorel was here, he said to tell you this is only the beginning," Elizabeth said.
"Did he hurt you threaten you," Sonny said.
"No just said that and walk off," Elizabeth said.
Elizabeth closed her eyes enjoying the feeling of Jason's arm around her. The kiss they shared was so passionate so hungry and desperate. And she wanted more of it she almost slapped her self for thinking that at a time like this. Johnny walked out a few moments later.
"Any word," Johnny asked.
"Not yet," Jason said.
"Johnny I didn't thank you before, for saving my life," Brenda said.
"I was just doing my job Mrs. Corinthos," Johnny said.
"But still thanks," Brenda said.
"Dr. Quartermaine," Elizabeth said.
"Mr. McCall will be fine, he just needs rest," Alan said.
Elizabeth and Brenda just smiled at each other as Jason hit Johnny's back. Sonny ordered Johnny to stay with Francis and Max would take his place. Walking inside the Pen House Sonny went to the kitchen going to finish the dinner he had already begun.
Brenda ran up stairs with a smile on her face going to get Elizabeth birthday presents. Sitting on Jason's lap he just held her tightly. Sonny watched with a smile and he could see that this was hard on Jason. Elizabeth had almost been shot tonight and he knew Jason must be blaming himself. Brenda ran down the stairs with present in her hand and wide smile.
"Presents after dinner," Sonny said.
"Please just my present," Brenda begged.
"I agree with Sonny I'm starving," Elizabeth said.
"The birthday girl has spoken, we eat first," Sonny said.
"You both are no fun," Brenda pouted.
Elizabeth loved Sonny's cooking and that was way they choose to eat in instead of going out. After they ate the spaghetti salad and garlic bread Sonny went to the kitchen. Jason got up turning off the lights Brenda gave Elizabeth a questioning look until Sonny entered the room. He had a cake with a candle that said 18, Elizabeth began to laugh as they sang happy birthday. She closed her eyes and blew out the candle.
"Present time," Brenda said.
"Okay present time," Elizabeth said opening her present.
"I hope you like it," Brenda said.
"Oh it's lovely," Elizabeth said looking at the blue summer dress.
"Now mine," Sonny said handing her a small bag. .
"What is it, he refused to tell me," Brenda said.
"A three hundred gift certificate to the new art store that just opened," Elizabeth laughed.
"My present is at my place," Jason said.
"You can give it to me before you take me home," Elizabeth said.
Walking inside his Pen House an hour later they made their way to his room where the present was. Sitting on his bed she waited for him to give her the package. Unwrapping the present she smiled when she saw the rectangle velvet box. Opening it her eyes did the same thing it did with her earrings. She took the diamond bracelet out looking at it in awe.
"I thought it would go with your earrings," Jason said.
"Oh Jason," Elizabeth said looking up at him.
"I was scared today, I thought I…lost you," Jason said.
"You didn't I'm right here," Elizabeth said putting the bracelet back in the box.
"I know but I'm…it felt like I died because for a moment I thought you were dead," Jason said.
Elizabeth put the box on his night stand standing up to face him. For the first time tonight she could see the fear and hurt in his ice blue eyes. She brought his face down for a gentle loving kiss that just left him wanting another one. Soon they felt the hunger and desperation return.
Wrapping her arms around his neck she brought him closer needing to feel him. Jason lifted her up without any problem she wrapped her legs around his waist. Falling on the bed he plunged his tongue into her mouth. Her finger went through his hair as she arched into him. Breaking the kiss he looked her in the eyes to see the hunger and need mirror his own.
"I love you Elizabeth," Jason said.
"I love you too," Elizabeth said.
"How can I love you this much in such a sort time," Jason said.
"Love is a funny thing Jason it's not meant to be understood or explained," Elizabeth said.
"All I know is that I don't ever want to lose you," Jason said.
"You won't, I'm yours now and forever," Elizabeth said.
Jason bent forward kissing her gently as she put them into a sitting position. Nipping at his lower lip he opened his mouth to hers. Jason untied the tie to the thin silky jacket she was wearing slipping it off her shoulders. Pulling his shirt over his head they broke their kiss. His lips moved to her neck nipping at sensitive skin as they kicked off their shoes.
Jason moved from her neck to look her in the eyes to see them dark with passion and need. He could feel the heat from her skin from the thin material of her shirt. Lifting her shirt above her head his eyes never left hers. Moving her arms around his neck she pulled him closer kissing him hard.
"Elizabeth, are you sure," Jason said.
"I'm sure," Elizabeth said touching his face.
"Once we do this there is no going back, I don't want you to regret this," Jason said.
"Jason I want this…make love to me," Elizabeth said.
He felt his heart start to race faster and faster as she said those words. Licking his lips he bent forward kissing her once again. Leaning her back he hovered above her, not making any fast movements, the last thing he wanted to do was scare her.
"If there anything you don't like or if I'm going to fast just tell me to stop," Jason said.
"Jason you're not going to hurt me," Elizabeth said.

"Sonny," Brenda said.
"Yea," Sonny said.
"Do you think the name Morgan is good for a boy and a girl," Brenda said.
"Yea why," Sonny said.
"Because we only have seven more months to choose a name," Brenda said.
"I think that's…what are you…are we gonna have a baby," Sonny said.
"Yes they found out after running my blood test today," Brenda giggled.
Brenda climbed into his lap smiling widely at him as he smiled as well. He kissed her gently not believing that he was going to become a father. Brenda smiled and kissed his forehead as his hand came to rest on her stomach. She smiled even more before getting off the bed and walking towards the phone.
"Who are you calling," Sonny asked.
"Elizabeth…no one is answering," Brenda said.
"Maybe she's not home," Sonny said.
"I swear he is going to give her pneumonia with all the nightly rides," Brenda said.
"Elizabeth is a big girl I think she can take it," Sonny said.
Brenda watched Sonny for the rest of the evening and saw his face go blank. When they started to talk about Elizabeth and she couldn't figure it out. She knew it was useless to ask so she just went to bed and let it drop for now. Sonny couldn't help but think about the shooting. He needed to protect Brenda and their child, and he couldn't do that if Sorel was targeting her and Elizabeth.
Jason woke up the next morning with a smile on his face as he felt Elizabeth's body spooned up against his. Kissing her neck her heard her moan and wiggle against him. Shifting them so he was on top he saw her eyes open and smile spread across her face. The moment was interrupted by Jason's phone ringing he groaned.
"What is it," Elizabeth said.
"Sonny just called a meeting, I have to go," Jason said.
"Okay," Elizabeth said kissing him softly.
Jason did not want to go all he wanted to do was stay in bed with Elizabeth. Leaving he smiled at her this was so weird to have someone like he had her. She was right there was no explaining it or understanding it. All he knew was he loved her and he didn't ever want to lose her.
Walking into the warehouse he saw Johnny, Francis would be released from the hospital in three days. Max was on duty at his place. Jason knew something was up because when he walked into the office there was no sign of any kind of meeting. All he saw was Sonny looking out the window, when he turned around he saw the sadness and happiness in his eyes.
"What's going on," Jason asked.
"Brenda is pregnant," Sonny said.
"Congratulations, but why call a meeting," Jason said.
"Because we have to disappear until the baby is born," Sonny said.
"What are you talking about," Jason said.
"We have to leave Port Charles I can't protect her and do my job," Sonny said.
"What will change when the baby comes, how will it be different," Jason said.
"Jason I've made my choice…I need two things from you," Sonny said.
"Anything," Jason said.
"One I need you to help us disappear, and two I need you take over the business," Sonny said.
Jason just looked at him like he had lost his mind. Sonny knew this was going to be one tough meeting, as Jason settled into a seat. Brenda could not be happier she just kept going over patterns for the nursery. Elizabeth had jumped up and down and started to giggle when she told her. When Sonny and Jason walked into the room they knew something was up but couldn't place it.
"Pack your things tomorrow we leave," Sonny said.
"Leave," Brenda said.
"Until the baby is born we have to disappear from sight," Sonny said.
"Sonny, don't do this," Brenda said.
"Brenda you have to trust me and do as I ask," Sonny said.
"What happens after the baby is born," Elizabeth asked.
"We come back," Sonny said.
"Brenda I told you this might happen along time ago," Sonny said.
"I know I just hoped it wouldn't," Brenda said.
"Come on I'll help you," Elizabeth said.
Brenda was sad and mad at Sonny right now but decided to stay calm, because she knew this would happen someday. Tomorrow on June 22nd Sonny and Brenda would leave for the honeymoon but wouldn't come back for seven to eight months. When Sonny came into the room Elizabeth gave him a small smile and left.
It was sunny out the next day when Johnny packed up all their things into the limo. Jason walked out with Sonny who was waiting for Brenda. She and Elizabeth were saying their goodbyes in private so no one would think anything of it. Jason just looked at Sonny who was looking at him. When he hired Jason he never expected it to be like this, never expected to be handing over the business to him.
"I want you to live in Pen House2, until our return," Sonny said.
"Won't that look strange," Jason said.
"Just tell anyone who asked that I was going to buy Brenda her dream house," Sonny said.
"I won't let you down," Jason said.
"I wouldn't be leaving you in charge if I doubted you," Sonny said.
"I should go get Brenda and Elizabeth," Jason said.
No words needed to be said between them they knew what the other one was saying with just a look. People drove by and looked like Sonny just waiting for his wife. Brenda had called Emily and told her what was going on; she promised not to tell anyone. But once Brenda and Sonny were gone Emily told Nikolas who just held her at the loose of her friend.
"I can't believe they're gone," Elizabeth said looking out the window.
"Come here," Jason said.
Elizabeth crawled in the bed and snuggled up close to Jason. Wrapping his arms around Elizabeth he hoped that Sonny knew what he was doing. Because he saw no point in this, Brenda and baby would be in just as much danger when they returned. But Sonny didn't see it that way all he cared about was protecting his family.
"I remember the first time I met them," Elizabeth said.
"Tell me about it," Jason said.
"You were in your coma, Keesha was yelling at Sonny and Stone, I had gone back for my coat. I defended them saying they had every right to be there. She didn't think so and said I too had no right I told her off and they introduced themselves to me. Sonny gave me a ride to Kelly's for my job interview," Elizabeth said.
"Besides you Sonny was the first person to see me as a man, not some small child who needed help doing the most simplest of things. It was hard for Brenda at first, I guess she and Jason Quartermaine had a fight and she blamed herself but she was happy I was alive," Jason said.
"I never had a family until you Sonny Brenda Emily Nikolas and Lucky you all mean so much to me," Elizabeth said.
"Can you stay the night," Jason asked.
"Yea just let me call Gram," Elizabeth said.
"Later," Jason said.
He kissed her softly on the lips Elizabeth pulled his shirt off him. Tonight they needed to forget about Sonny and Brenda, two people that meant so much to them. Jason had his fears about taking over but refused to give into them. Soon all of Port Charles would know Sonny and Brenda Corinthos had disappeared. Lying in bed that night Jason just watched her sleep hoping to do this exact thing many more times.
Next Part: Jason starts to run the business
NOTE: Sonny and Brenda will be returning in a later chapter but I have no idea what chapter that will be as of right now.
