Who is Elizabeth?

Chapter 24

The Penthouse

As Summer and Elizabeth entered the penthouse with a bouncing Jamie they were laughing so much they didn't notice Jason quickly hide a bag behind his back. Jason handed the bag to Travis and shut the door behind the women. "Hello!"

Elizabeth turned to him and if it was possible her smile seemed to grow. "Hey there! I thought you were busy all day today."

"Change of plans." Jason moved closer to Elizabeth loosing track of the fact that Summer was in the room with them. "I missed you."

Elizabeth's arms seemed to wrap around his neck all on their own. "And I missed you Jason."

Smiling bigger than Summer had ever seen Jason dipped his head and kissed Elizabeth. Summer smiled and bit her tongue to keep the catcall from jumping out of her mouth. Jamie had other ideas though. Clapping and giggling Jamie applauded the couple's love.

As Jason and Elizabeth pulled away from their kiss breathless they heard Jamie. Blushing to the tips of her ears Elizabeth tried to hide her face in Jason's neck. "You make me so crazy!"

Chuckling softly Jason hugged Elizabeth and then pulled back to look into her eyes. "I think Jamie is proud of us."

This caused Elizabeth to giggle. Turning around she saw Summer grinning at her and blushed again. Trying to avoid her friend she reached down and picked up Jamie. "Hey big guy!"

"So what are you up to tonight?" Jason seemed to be up to something Elizabeth noticed. "What?"

"You know I'll figure it out eventually." At Jason's mock innocent look Elizabeth smiled. "I have to show Zander his new apartment in a couple of hours and then I am free."

"Would you mind if I went with you?"

Now it was official Elizabeth knew Jason was planning something. "Okay Morgan! But just remember I will figure out what you are up to."

Jason smiled and walked over to wrap his arms around Elizabeth's waist. Jamie patted his cheek and his smile grew as he thought of what it would be like in the future with their own child. Realizing Elizabeth was staring at him he looked into her eyes for a moment and then brushed a kiss across her forehead. "So I have to talk to Sonny for a moment. I will be back in a little bit, don't leave without me."

Elizabeth watched him leave and turned to see Summer watching her. "Do you know what he is up to?"

Summer smiled, "Nope, but if I did I don't think I would tell you."

"WHAT? Now you are willing to switch sides and gang up on me."

"Not gonna work, Elizabeth. I am not ganging up, but I won't spoil whatever nice surprise he wants to give to you."

Sighing happily Elizabeth sat on the floor to play with Jamie. "I probably will love it!" Seeing Summer's smirk Elizabeth blushed. "Don't start! I've caught you and Spencer in much more compromising positions or have you forgotten my birthday."

Summer nearly choked, "You promised to forget about that."

"Ha! I knew that it would come in handy someday, so you best just behave."

Zander's Apartment

Dillon stood in Zander's apartment with the gallery guards. "Thanks guys! I know Elizabeth didn't want Zander to see this place without her and I really needed to move his stuff."

Nodding the two guards headed out just as Elizabeth was headed in. "Hey Dillon! What's going on? I wanted to be here when Zander saw everything."

"Hey don't worry. Zander should be here...well anytime actually. He knows I got his stuff I just thought it would be a nice present for him to not have to worry about moving his stuff."

Elizabeth hadn't missed the look passed between Dillon and Jason. Whatever Jason was up to Dillon knew about. "Whatever, I know Jason will let me know when this surprise is ready." She couldn't help laughing at the look on both the guys' faces.

"Hey can I see my new home."

Running out into the hall Elizabeth hugged Zander. "Of course. I hope you like it. I really tried to make it your place."

Zander squeezed Elizabeth's shoulder. "I know I will love it. You are my sister and you hooked me up with an apartment, I am sure it is amazing." Zander smiled at the look of pride on Elizabeth's face.

As Jason watched Elizabeth show Zander around his new apartment he grew anxious to give her the surprise. He hoped she loved it as much as he loved the memory.

Elizabeth's studio

Jason was leading her into what Elizabeth was sure was her studio, but he made her promise not to look. As Elizabeth heard the door close behind her she knew she was in her studio. "Can I look now please?"

Jason stood in front of her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Just one thing first." Leaning down he kissed her. Jason had meant for it to be a soft, sweet and quick kiss, but it grew quickly into something very passionate. Knowing Elizabeth wasn't ready for more Jason gently eased his mouth away from hers. "Wow, have I told you how you take my breath away."

Elizabeth opened her eyes and stared into his. "The feeling is completely mutual." Her voice was husky with desire, but she knew she needed to calm herself down. "Can I see my surprise now?"

Smiling at her Jason slid from in front of her. There in front of her windows stood a tree, kind of sad looking, but all around it were paper chains to decorate it. "Jason...it's beautiful." Turning to him tears rolled down her cheeks. "You remembered."

"I'll always remember our first Christmas. You made me see how beautiful that time of year was and I have always hoped we would have more Christmas' together."

"I...I thought...but you don't dream."

"I do, but only about you." Taking Elizabeth into his arms Jason held her and they felt as the love they had exploded within them.

Awhile later as they lay snuggled together looking at their decorated Christmas tree Jason whispered into Elizabeth's ear, "I want to give you something."

"You've already given me so much Jason."

Sitting up slightly and taking her with him Jason reached into his pocket. "But I want you to have my heart." With that he held a beautiful floating heart up for her to see. "Will you where this necklace and know that you own my heart for all of eternity."

Sobbing Elizabeth pulled his lips to hers for a kiss of pure love. "Yes." Holding the necklace gently she looked at the heart. Jason was inscribed on one side of the heart; it was the most beautiful thing she had ever gotten. "Will you put it on me?"

Gently Jason slid the necklace around her neck and fastened it. "My heart only belongs to you Elizabeth."

Turning in his arms and leaning on his chest she snuggled into him. "And mine to you Jason. Always and Forever."
