Who is Elizabeth?

Chapter 21

Thanksgiving Day

Jason's Penthouse

As Elizabeth came down the stairs she heard someone moving around in the kitchen. She knew Jason was in the shower. Summer had taken Jamie with her when she left with Lucky two days ago to go see his mom in Europe. They were hoping the new medication they had Laura on would help her to remember some things. So that left Dillon that was unusual since he always slept in. Going over to the kitchen Elizabeth peeked her head in to see Dillon attempting to make breakfast. "Hi!"

Dillon jumped and whirled around. "Oh my God you gotta warn people when you're coming."

Elizabeth chuckled and patted his arm. "What are you doing feeding an army?"

Dillon smiled and looked a bit sheepish. "You and Jason have been so great to me and I was hoping to do something nice today. But breakfast is kind of overwhelming me."

"Why don't I help. It's the thought that counts, plus you have most of it done. I will make the toast and set the table. You can finish up the omelets, deal!"

"Thanks so much!" As they set about doing their individual tasks to finish up breakfast Dillon kept looking over at Elizabeth. "Umm..."

"I was wondering how long it would take you to open your mouth, you've been looking over here every two seconds." Elizabeth laughed as Dillon realized he'd been caught.

"I was just wondering if you and Jason would mind if I went with you to see Grandmother and Emily this morning? I really miss getting to see them, but I don't want to get into it with all the rest."

Before Elizabeth could speak they both heard Jason from the doorway. "Of course you can come. No way I am letting them get to my cousin." Elizabeth turned and smiled at Jason. "We will go over there about eleven that way we all have time to get to where we are supposed to go for Thanksgiving dinner."

"Thanks, Jason. The omelets are ready so let's eat."

Jason watched Dillon go into the living room with the omelets. He'd noticed the coffee table had silverware on it, so he had assumed they would be eating breakfast together. "Hey, how are you feeling today?"

"Good, a little anxious, but good. I think it will all be okay. Bobbie warned me that Courtney and Mike had been invited, so I've been preparing this week. I talked to Gail about it and I think I can handle everything."

"You know you can tell me and we will leave."

"Oh no, I am not being your excuse to get out of a family gathering. But thanks for the offer Jason. If it gets to be too much I'll let you know." Smiling Elizabeth hugged him for a quick second before walking out into the living room with the toast.

Jason loved when Elizabeth touched him, he hoped she would be ready to work things out in their relationship. Jason knew he would never leave Elizabeth's side again and he only hoped that was a two way street. Strolling out into the living room with the orange juice that they had forgotten on the counter Jason smiled as he saw that Dillon and Elizabeth were chatting about the gallery.

Corinthos' Penthouse

Carly stumbled down the stairs with Michael following her. As Carly reached the living room she collapsed on the couch. "Hey Mr. Man will you go into the kitchen and ask Daddy to bring Mommy some coffee."

Giving his Mom a kiss on the cheek Michael headed for the kitchen. "Daddy, I drug Mommy out of bed and now she wants coffee."

Carly heard Sonny laugh with Michael and sighed happily. She hoped everything went well today. Carly knew she was tempting fate when she had invited Courtney and Mike to dinner, but she just couldn't let them be alone on the holiday. As Sonny strolled out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand Carly smiled. She leaned up and kissed him. "Thanks Honey."

"So as usual one of your men had to drag you from the bed. You seem to be tired a lot lately. Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes Sonny, it's probably just the stress of everything going on around us." As Carly took a sip of her coffee her stomach rolled over. Setting the coffee quickly on the coffee table she jumped up and ran to the bathroom.

"Carly! Carly! What's wrong?" Sonny followed her to the bathroom just in time to hear her retching through the door. "Baby, are you okay?"

Pulling out his cell phone Sonny dialed his doctor. "I need you at the Penthouse ASAP." "I am sorry about that, but my wife is sick and I need to know what is wrong." "Okay, fifteen minutes."

As Sonny closed the cell phone Carly walked out of the bathroom. "Sonny, that wasn't necessary. It is probably just the flu."

"Well, we will know for sure in a little bit. I just don't want to take any chances."

"Fine!" Carly went and sat on the couch wrapping a blanket around her.

"Please, Carly, for me just let him check you out?" Sliding to sit with Carly's head on his lap Sonny stroked her hair.

"Okay, if it will make you feel better."

"It will." Sonny watched her drift back to sleep. When Michael walked into the room Sonny held his finger up to his lips to be quiet. "Mommy doesn't feel very good. Did you eat your breakfast?"

Michael whispered, "Yes. Can I go up and play for a little while."

"I think that would be a good idea son." As Sonny watched Michael walk quietly upstairs he heard the front door opening.

Marco looked in and saw Sonny. When Sonny nodded he ushered Dr. Marques in.

"Carly I need you to wake up now." As she groaned and snuggled into him more Sonny felt bad for disturbing her. "Baby the doctor is here, please wake up." Carly opened her eyes a bit and looked at the doctor.

"Mrs. Corinthos, I know your not feeling well, but if you let me look at you we may be able to figure it out."

"Okay." As Carly sat up shakily both men looked at her in worry.

"Well, let's start with how you've been feeling."

"I've been tired a lot and then this morning I vomited after having a sip of coffee."

"When did this start?"

"About a month ago."

A month Sonny thought. Where have I been? Why didn't I notice how bad she was feeling? I need to start taking better care of her. Sonny realized he had missed something because Carly was standing with Dr. Marques now. "What's going on?"

"Well, I can't find a reason for these symptoms other than..."

"Oh my God!"

Sonny realized Carly was standing there looking shocked.

"Mrs. Corinthos, I am not sure. I just think you should maybe get tested."

"WHAT IS GOING ON?"

"As I told Mrs. Corinthos, the only thing that I can think of is..."

"He thinks I am pregnant."

Sonny looked back and forth between the doctor and his wife as a big grin came onto his face. "We are going to have a baby."

"Now I am not sure, but I think Mrs. Corinthos should get a test."

As Sonny wrapped his arms around Carly he smiled down at her. "You might be pregnant."

Carly watched the love and happiness on his face and it filled her heart. "I might be pregnant."

"Well...umm...I will go. I left an anti nausea medicine that is safe for pregnant women. It should help Mrs. Corinthos for today."

As Dr. Marques walked out Sonny held Carly tight to him. "You are the most wonderful woman on the planet."

Carly laughed and hugged him tightly back. "I will call Dr. Meadow's office tomorrow and set up an appointment. Is there a time that would be better for you?"

"As soon as you can get it. I want to make sure everything is going well and get everything set up."

Beaming at Sonny's happiness Carly touched her stomach.

Quartermaine Mansion

Jason looked into the door window and saw only Grandmother and Emily. Opening the door he ushered Elizabeth and Dillon through ahead of him. "Happy Thanksgiving Grandmother. Emily."

"Oh Jason, I am so happy to see you. And you brought Elizabeth and Dillon. Happy Thanksgiving to you all."

Hugging Elizabeth first Emily smiled at them all. "Happy Thanksgiving you guys."

Jason went and kneeled by his grandmother giving her a kiss. "We didn't want to miss seeing you today."

Dillon walked over and hugged his grandmother before sitting close by. "Grandmother, are you feeling well?"

"Of course I am feeling well. I've got my Grandsons visiting. And Elizabeth as always it is wonderful to see you."

Elizabeth stood behind Jason and smiled at Lila. "It is nice to see you as well Mrs. Quartermaine."

"It's Lila or Grandmother for you sweetheart."

Blushing Elizabeth smiled at Lila. "Happy Thanksgiving..." As Jason looked up at her Elizabeth's breath caught for a moment. Looking back at Lila she finished, "Grandmother."

Emily couldn't keep the grin off her face as she noticed the interaction between Jason and Elizabeth. Sitting next to Dillon she got involved in the conversation. They were all so involved in catching up with one another they never heard Edward enter.

"What is that hooligan doing in my house?"

Jason stiffened at Edward's voice. "Grandmother, it was wonderful seeing you." Kissing her cheek Jason stood and looked at Elizabeth and Dillon hugging Emily. As both of them kissed Lila goodbye he walked to Emily. "I was glad to see you today. You know you and Zander are welcome at Bobbie's if things get out of control here."

"I know. I am just glad Zander agreed to spend Thanksgiving with me. I'll see you later."

Jason heard Edward start in on Dillon and had enough. "Old man you will leave my family alone. Let's go Dillon." Taking Elizabeth's hand he led them out of the mansion.
