Things Change: Christmas
It was only a few days after Sorel's death when Elizabeth had to go home and Brenda was once again left alone with Sonny. Not that she minded or anything but until that moment she didn't realize how much she missed Elizabeth and everyone else. Sonny didn't realize it either until they were saying goodbye to Elizabeth and she whispered stay safe.
When she got home time started to fly by. Soon it was Halloween and they were all at Maxie's Birthday party. Jason didn't really get the idea of Halloween but Serena Brook Lynn Georgie and Maxie seemed to like it so he did too. Then came Thanksgiving, which was a hard time for Jason and Elizabeth.
They had a hard schedule that day. First they had to go to Audrey's dinner which was mixed with the Jones Scorpio and Spencer family. Then it was off to the Quartermaine's for their tradition pizza dinner. Alexis was starting to show her pregnancy. Ned kept telling everyone how Brook Lynn kept on telling everyone it was going to be boy. Brook Lynn would come to Port Charles for Christmas since that was his holiday and Thanksgiving was Lois's this year.
Then after that it was off to Scott and Lucy's for a late Thanksgiving dinner because Lucy wanted to be different. When Jason got home he swore he never wanted to see another turkey as long as he lived. Then Elizabeth most favorite time a year Christmas, which also meant Jason's birthday.
"Guess what day it is," Elizabeth said.
"December 17," Jason said.
"And do you know why today is so special," Elizabeth said.
"No," Jason said.
"It's your birthday Jason," Elizabeth said.
"Wow I didn't realize that today was my birthday," Jason said.
"Well that is why you have me…sit down and close your eyes," Elizabeth said kissing his lips gently.
Jason didn't want to but Elizabeth put her hand over his eyes so he did as she wanted smiling as he did it. Even with his eyes close he could tell she turned off the lights. He didn't know how long it had been but it was while before he heard Elizabeth walked again.
"Happy birthday…you can open your eyes now," Elizabeth laughed.
"A cake…a chocolate cake," Jason said seeing the candle that said one.
"Blow out your candle," Elizabeth said.
"This is where I make a wish but never tell anyone until it comes true isn't it," Jason said.
"Yes," Elizabeth said.
Looking at her he had to think for a moment because he had everything he wanted. He had a great job where people treated him with respect he was with the woman he loved more than anything. What else could he want? Closing his eyes again he blew out the candle making the only wish he could think of. That's Brenda's babies are born healthy and they come home safe.
Putting the cake down Elizabeth turned the lights back on going over to his desk and picking up the box. She walked toward him with a big smile and gave it to him. Opened it up to find another box and careful opened this one up. Then he saw a photograph of them. It was of them almost a year ago, she had come by with Emily.
Bobbie was taking picture and he was being moody as usual. She asked him if he'd do it for the kids and she even agreed to be in it. All he did was look into the midnight blue eyes of hers and he was a goner. Elizabeth got on the bed resting her head on his shoulders as Bobbie took it. It was a prefect moment until Keesha came by and ruined it. He laughed, now thinking that irritating woman was his sister-in-law and friend.
"Do you like it," Elizabeth said.
"That was the first time I thought you were something special," Jason said.
"What," Elizabeth said.
"You looked at me and I couldn't say no…I knew there must be something special about you," Jason said.
"I didn't know what to get you your Christmas list contained one item," Elizabeth said.
"I have everything I want and need," Jason said.
"Still you are a hard man to shop for Jason Morgan," Elizabeth said.
Brenda looked down at her very pregnant stomach, frowning because they had yet to pick their names. They couldn't agree on any names. Maria was out of the question and he hated the idea of Michael Corinthos III. Luckily for her she was only eight months pregnant.
"Where are we going, we've been driving for hours," Brenda said waking up.
"Woke up just in time to see your Christmas Eve present," Sonny said.
"My present...where," Brenda said.
"Look up," Sonny said.
Brenda gasped as she saw a sign that said Welcome to Port Charles and looked at him. He kept his eyes on the road as she giggled. She was home they were going home for the holidays. If she hadn't been for the fact she was pregnant she would have jumped out of the car.
"Home we are home…for good," Brenda said.
"For good," Sonny said.
"Yes," Brenda said.
Elizabeth could hardly believe this, they got a call four days before saying that Brenda and Sonny were coming home. She and Jason then set to work cleaning the Pen House and moving their stuff over to Pen House2. They also decided that they would fix up the nursery. Elizabeth just hoped that Brenda liked it.
Emily was over at Liz's as was Keesha and Robin to welcome Brenda home. Stone and AJ were now explaining the game of basketball to Jason since they coved football over Thanksgiving. Francis gave a knock at the door telling them that Brenda and Sonny were on their way up. The moment that Brenda walked into the Pen House she yelled as she saw Elizabeth Emily and Keesha.
"Oh my…look at you," Robin said.
"Twins," Brenda said.
"Names," Keesha said.
"As of right now they are nameless," Sonny said.
"That's okay," Elizabeth said.
"This is the best Christmas Eve ever," Brenda said hugging them all.
"What," Emily asked seeing Brenda face change.
"Just a contraction," Brenda said.
"Are you sure," AJ said joining them.
"Yes I'll be fine," Brenda said.
That night was prefect and Brenda cried when she saw the nursery and Elizabeth hugged her tightly. Brenda loved the idea of having Elizabeth so close to her. Brenda once again went through the baby book of named much to Sonny's annoyance.
"Got it," Brenda said.
"What," Sonny said.
"Veronica Elizabeth Corinthos and Morgan Stone Corinthos," Brenda said.
"I though you were against the idea of Veronica," Stone said.
"No I was against the idea of Veronica Maria," Brenda said.
"They're perfect," Sonny said.
"Veronica and Morgan," Elizabeth said smiling.
Brenda walked towards the table when she suddenly buckled over in pain. Sonny ran towards her just as she fell to the ground. Looking up Sonny saw that Jason was already on the phone. Brenda heart began to beat faster and faster, she wasn't due for another month. But she was in too much pain to worry about it; she just needed to get to the hospital.
Sonny grew very afraid when they asked him to leave the room. Why would they ask him to leave the room unless something was wrong? Walking out into the waiting room he saw everyone there. Sitting down in the chair he felt Elizabeth's arms wrap around him. And he felt safe he knew that no matter what happened he would be safe as long as his family was near.
"Sonny," Alan said.
"Dad," AJ said.
"Are they okay," Sonny asked.
The babies are wonderful, both weight 5.8 pounds," Alan said.
"And Brenda," Elizabeth asked.
"She's asleep but doing fine," Alan said.
"Thank god," Sonny said.
"Why did Sonny have to leave," Jason asked.
"There were complications…but all three are doing great," Alan said.
"Can I see her," Sonny asked.
"Sure," Alan said smiling.
When Jason and Elizabeth walked into their home they could hardly believe it. This would be a Christmas Eve neither of them ever forgot. Brenda gave everyone a scare but Jason knew she would make it. She was too full of life to die now, she had to much energy to give up.
"Merry Christmas," Elizabeth said.
"Honey it's early," Jason grumbled.
"Come on it's nine…I want my present and Dad will be here soon," Elizabeth said.
Jason managed to roll himself out of the bed making Elizabeth laugh. He gave her a small smile as he rubbed his eyes and stretched. Elizabeth ran down stairs wanting to see his face when he walled down the stairs. Jason walked slowly down the stairs but stopped dead in his tracked when he saw it. Elizabeth quickly took a picture of Jason's priceless expression.
"You got me a pool table," Jason said.
"You like it," Elizabeth said.
"I love you," Jason said kissing her soundly on the lips.
"Love you too," Elizabeth giggled.
"So you want your now," Jason asked.
"Yes," Elizabeth said.
The week seemed to fly by quickly and soon it was New Years. Jason found himself thinking of the past year and how much had changed. He was now Sonny partner and had gained his own kind of respect. He was in love with the most wonderful women in the world. His family had accepted him for who he is and not who he was. Keesha was now a friend and not someone he wished would just go away. He and Elizabeth were godparents to two beautiful babies.
"Sweetheart," Elizabeth said.
"I love you," Jason said.
"I love you too," Elizabeth laughed.
"Then will you marry me," Jason said getting on one knee.
"Excuse me," Elizabeth said thinking she heard him wrong.
"Will you marry me," Jason said taking a ring out of his pocket.
Elizabeth heartbeat began to speed up and all she could do was shake her head yes as he slipped the ring on her finger. The countdown began in the background but it was lost to them. Wrapping her arms around his neck she sealed it with a kiss. Brenda and Sonny looked around until they saw Jason and Elizabeth kissing.
"Hey," Brenda said,
"We're getting married," Elizabeth holding up her hand.
"Oh my god," Brenda said.
"I know," Elizabeth said.
"This is great…I mean really really great," Brenda said.
Life for Jason was good and life for Sonny Corinthos was just as good too. He was married to the only women he had ever let into his heart. He has two beautiful children who he loved more than anyone he ever thought he could. Elizabeth was as happy a she could be. She had a new family who loved her more than she ever thought possible and she was now going to marry the man of her dream. Could life get any better than this, she didn't know but she was willing to find out.
The End
