Chapter 54
"So everything is all set?" Elizabeth asked as she moved the phone from one ear to the other.
"I think so. We have the food, décor, guest list, dresses, everything is planned. You just need to confirm everything next week." Emily said.
Elizabeth sighed, "I'm sorry for throwing all of this on you right before you leave on your honeymoon. What time are you leaving?"
"Stop apologizing, you are marrying my brother, I would do anything for either of you. We are leaving in about an hour."
"I forgot to tell you the other day, guess who is pregnant." Elizabeth said.
"Umm, is this a trick question?" Emily asked.
"Carly."
"Nuh uh!"
"Yep, she is about as far along as I am. I didn't share about me but talk about fate, me and Carly pregnant together… lord help me."
"You know she is going to pull the whole, 'Lizzie only got pregnant because I was and she needs the attention'.
"I know Em, I dread the day that she finds out." Elizabeth sighed.
"Oh… not to change the subject but don't forget to call the florist, you need to finalize exactly what you want and where in the final plan… and make sure you get Jason's ring size so you can pick up his ring." Emily rambled out.
"I won't forget, it is all on my list. I'm going to work on everything this morning and try to get as much done as I can. We have court at 2:00 but Diane said that we should be in and out in minutes." Elizabeth said.
"I wish I could be there, Jason is probably so happy."
Elizabeth chuckled, "Actually I think he is nervous… I mean he is happy, definitely happy but… I don't know, maybe he is afraid everything is going too good." Elizabeth laughed, "Ok, well maybe not too good, things have been crazy but all of a sudden it seems like everything is falling into place. It scares me so I'm sure it worries him."
"Stop that right now, you both deserve to be happy. You are going to one happy family… one big happy family." Emily said with a chuckle.
"How is Nicholas doing?" Elizabeth asked.
"He is feeling better. Then with Lucky and Sam, its hard on him but he will get through it."
"Of course he will, he has you Em."
"Don't get to stressed out while I am gone, take care of the boys and that future niece or nephew of mine. You can call me anytime."
Elizabeth laughed, "Yea, you will not catch me calling you on your honeymoon, I will not take the chance of interrupting anything. You can call me if you have the time."
"Love you Liz."
"I love you too Em, have fun."
Elizabeth hung up with Emily and began making phone calls to finalize the plans for the wedding. On the way to the courthouse they dropped Jake off at Audrey's house. Jason wanted to make the day about Cameron. Diane met them in the hallway outside the courtroom. When their case was called the judge asked for background on Cameron's biological father, he asked if there was anyone in the court that opposed the adoption. Then the judge asked Jason a few questions before smacking his gavel on the desk and stating that a new birth certificate would be issued within 2 weeks.
Diane turned and winked to Elizabeth then ushered them out of the courtroom. Once in the hallway she said, "Congratulations Cameron, Jason is your daddy now." She turned to Jason "Congratulations Jason, if you will excuse me I need to go get the paperwork from the clerk."
Elizabeth could see Jason's eyes gleaming. He did not say much, just hugged Cameron when they left the courtroom and asked him what he wanted to do next, that they could do whatever he wanted.
Cameron placed his pointer finger on the corner of his mouth and looked up at the ceiling "Hmmm. I want to go to the beach."
Elizabeth laughed and kneeled in front of Cameron, "Cam, honey, it's a little cold for the beach. We can go if it really is what you want but it won't be any fun."
Cameron frowned, "Ok, can we go get food, I'm hungwy."
"Anywhere you want." Jason said.
"Can we see Mike and get ice cream?" Cameron asked.
Jason nodded and Cameron ran down the hall toward the doors. Elizabeth turned to Jason, took his hand and they followed in Cameron's path.

Sonny was sitting in his study on the phone. Max lightly knocked on the door and entered. He walked over to the front of Sonny's desk and waited for Sonny to hang the phone up.
"Boss, you wanted to be alerted if there was any information on the Perez's" Max said.
Sonny leaned back in his chair and nodded. "What do you have?"
"Luke and Alexis." Max said.
"What!" Sonny said shooting forward in his chair and standing up.
"We don't have much information yet but our sources say that they were seen with Joey Perez. How do you want us to handle this boss?" Max asked.
Sonny wiped his hand across his face and let out a deep breath. "I am going to guess that they are trying to do their on investigation, getting themselves killed in the process. Don't do anything, let me know the second they are back in Port Charles… or if any other information comes in."
Max turned to walk out "Max, wait… I have something I need you to do."
Max stopped and turned back to Sonny, "What is it boss?"
"Set up a meeting with Skye. She has been too quiet during all of this. She still has that waterfront property and I want to know what she plans to do with it. Rick has been nosing around and getting way too close to her lately."
Max shook his head, "You think she will sell it to Rick, he doesn't have that kind of money."
"We don't know what kind of money he has since everything went down… besides he could be brokering it, I don't know. Keep one of our men on him as well." Sonny said.
"Sure thing." Max said with a nod.
"I am guessing that we haven't gotten anything on the bug we planted at her house?"
Max shook his head, "No, just her every day activities. No business or visits from anyone of interest."
Sonny shook his head and returned to his chair at his desk as Max disappeared through the doorway.
No sooner had Sonny picked up his phone when Carly came barging into his office followed closely by Max. "Sorry boss."
Sonny waved Max out, "What now Carly… I'm busy."
"We need to talk." She said abruptly.
"And you couldn't use the phone… or even use it to let me know you were coming over?"
"Will you shut up and listen to me Sonny? This is important." She said crossing her arms over her chest.
He threw his arms up and walked over to his mini bar, grabbed a bottle of water and took a sip. "Well are you going to talk?"
She huffed, "Jason and Elizabeth moved up their wedding."
"I know this already Carly." Sonny said.
"Well don't you think it strange?"
"It's none of my business Carly, nor is it yours."
"Jason is my best friend, I am worried that he is being played by little miss…"
Sonny cut her off, "Carly, I don't have time for this right now. You need to get past this jealousy that you have over Elizabeth."
Her jaw dropped, "You think I am jealous."
"It's obvious, you can't even be in the same room with her. You have been like that with all his girlfriends but with Elizabeth it is the worst, maybe because you know deep down that this is it."
Carly shook her head, "She has you in her spell, she lets everyone think that she is an angel."
"CARLY! Stop it! Get over it. This conversation is over. Leave Jason and Elizabeth alone… before you push him away and lose him."
"Fine then, why the rush, why do they have to get married in two weeks?"
"I don't know, it is none of my business Carly! Ask Jason, but be careful Carly. I'm not talking about this anymore."
Carly turned and mumbled something on her way out, he thought it was something about stopping the wedding but he could not be sure. Sonny picked up the phone and called Jason. His voicemail picked up.
"Jase, I just had a visit from Carly, be prepared for her meddling." He hung the phone up, shook his head and went back to his work.
