Chapter 57

Elizabeth laid in bed for twenty minutes staring at the door. Jason was only going to be gone for a few days and he had only just left but she felt so alone, sad, worried, lonely… scared. This was the first time he had gone away overnight more less three days. She finally got out of bed and decided she needed to keep herself busy before she drove herself crazy.

Over the next couple days she cleaned every inch of her house and bought every grocery she could possibly need. The first night she had Audrey and Monica over for dinner and the second night she had Spinelli over to spend time with the boys. Jason called her in the mornings and before she went to be both nights.

By the third night Jason was still not home. Elizabeth had fed the boys and played with them all evening. When she spoke to Jason this morning he was optimistic that he would be home before the next morning sometime but was not sure when. He said that he would get home as soon as he could.

Elizabeth put both boys to bed and went downstairs. She looked out the window and saw Max standing on the porch. Jason had made sure that Max would be her main guard while he was away. He also had an addition guard sitting in the driveway. He did not want to take any chances.

She opened the door, instantly shivering at the cold air hitting her bare feet. "Max, do you want a coffee or anything? You can come in and get warm."

"No thanks, I am quite warm."

"I don't believe you but I will not force you. If I happen to make a pot of coffee how do you take yours?"

"Don't worry about me." Max insisted.

Elizabeth shook her head, "Well I am going to make it like it or not and if I do not make it how you like it then it will go to waste."

Max smiled at her persistence, "Black with one Equal."

Elizabeth smiled, "A nutra-sweet guy. Hmmm… I would have taken you for a sugar guy." She shut the door leaving him wondering if she was making fun of him or just trying to be friendly.

Ten minutes later Elizabeth handed him a steaming cup of coffee in a thermal mug. Max took a sip, "It's good, thanks Ms. Webber."

"Luckily I have an in with a coffee dealer." She said with a laugh. "… and enough of this Ms. Webber stuff. My mom is not here, I am Liz, or Elizabeth. I don't care which one."

Max nodded.

"You haven't heard from Jason have you? Do you know if he is on his way home?"

Max shook his head, "Sorry, I have not talked to him since this morning."

Elizabeth chuckled, "Me neither." She sighed, "Well, I am going to head to bed. Please, let me know if you ever want a cup of coffee or something to eat. You are out here to protect me, the least I could do is keep you warm and nourished."

"Yes ma'am."

"Ma'am now huh?" Elizabeth said as she smiled and closed the door. She thought about what a nice guy Max was and wondered if there were any single women she knew that could use a nice guy like him. He actually seemed to have a bit of chemistry with Diane, although she seemed too independent. She shrugged and decided to keep on the lookout for a nice girl for him, everyone deserves to be in love.

She climbed into her cold bed and looked over to Jason's side. "Tomorrow, I will see him tomorrow" She told herself squeezing her eyes closed. A few minutes later he body began to relax a little but she was brought back to reality when she heard crying. Jumping out of bed she followed the cry into Cameron's room. "Cam baby, what's wrong sweetie?"

"Mommy, I feel yucky." Cameron said.

Elizabeth placed her cheek against his forehead to feel if he was warm, which he was. "Oh baby, you have a fever. Are you cold?" he nodded. "Does anything hurt or ache?"

Cameron nodded.

"Let's get you some medicine." She said and picked him up from the bed. She carried him to the bathroom and gave him something for his fever.

On her way back to his room he popped his head up, "Can I sleep with you mommy?"

She did not answer him just took him to her room. She laid down with him at her side and rubbed his back till he fell back to sleep. She followed short after but not for long. Elizabeth was woken up so many times she lost count. First Cameron was crying then whining, then crying again, then he was uncomfortable so he kept shifting, then he was too hot, then too cold.

Jason's plane landed in Port Charles around 2 am. The entire flight home all he could think about was getting home to Elizabeth and the boys. He rushed to his car and finally pulled up to the house around 3.

---------

Elizabeth had finally reached her breaking point. She knew that it was not Cameron's fault that he was sick and she kept reminding herself of this as she got kicked in the leg. Sitting up in bed she scooted back so she could sit against the headboard. Her body was exhausted as were her emotions. Cameron was beginning to fall back to sleep after his most recent bout of tears when she, herself, felt tears running down her face. She turned to look at the clock, 3:05 it read. Sighing she closed her eyes, forcing more tears to fall. When she opened her eyes again Jason was standing in the doorway.

At first she thought she imagined him there. She looked away and wiped the tears from her cheeks and eyes. When she looked back he was more visible and walking toward her. "Oh my god, I'm not imagining you!" She cried.

He smiled and sat beside her on the bed, "No… god I missed you." He cupped her cheek with his hand. "What's wrong?"

She hooked her hand behind his neck and pulled him down for a crushing kiss. "Nothing now… well Cameron is sick."

Jason looked over Cameron's sleeping form. "What is wrong with him?" He asked.

She shook her head, "I don't know. He only has a fever, no sore throat or stomach ache. He's been awake most of the night."

Jason ran his fingers through Cameron's curly hair. "He does feel warm." Jason stood and bent to pick Cameron up. Elizabeth grabbed his arm and shook her head.

"He wanted to sleep in here and he is sick. We should leave him." Jason looked at the boy curled up into Elizabeth's side. Jason sighed and disappeared into the bathroom. A short time later he re-emerged in a pair of sweat pants and wet hair. A few water drops fell from his hair and trailed down his chest.

Elizabeth's eyes narrowed as her eyes trailed up and down his body. She wanted his body over hers, the feeling of his weight on top of her. She sighed as he laid on the bed beside her. He tugged Cameron off Elizabeth so she could slide her body down the bed and lay down. Cameron rolled onto his side between Jason and Elizabeth, his head falling between the pillows. Jason and Elizabeth laid on their sides gazing into each others eyes.

"I missed you." Elizabeth whispered as she took his hand and linked her fingers through his. His thumb trailed over hers, he kissed her knuckles.

"I missed you too." He smiled, "Of all the nights for Cam to be sick." He closed his eyes and sighed, releasing her hand and rolling out of the bed. He stood and walked over to her side of the bed. He kneeled on the floor and she rolled over to her side to face him. He brushed her hair from the side of her face and neck then trailed his hand over her shoulder, down her arm and rested it on her side.

He could hear her breathing quicken as he leaned in and kissed her. His hand at her side squeezed as his tongue pushed past her lips. She brought her hands up and placed them on the sides of his head, holding his lips to hers. His hand moved from her side to her stomach which was still flat but held their growing baby. He trailed wet, hungry, open mouth kisses down her neck to her shoulder then her arms then her side, finally stopping at her stomach. He pushed her shirt up slightly to expose her stomach. His fingers teased the soft skin of her belly causing her to shiver under his touch. He peppered kisses around her stomach whispering "I love you". She wasn't sure if he was talking to her or the baby and it didn't matter, she knew he loved them both.

Her hand rubbed and squeezed his back while his lips explored her belly then moved back to her lips. His free hand that was balancing him against the side of the bed moved to rest above her head while his other moved up her body to tease her nipple.

Her breathing was quickening as she finally formed words, "Jas-Jason… Cameron, we can't." He sighed into her mouth and moved his hand around her back and pulled her closer to the edge of the bed, closer to him.

He pulled back from the kiss and whispered, "I don't want to stop." He looked over her body at Cameron then up to the ceiling and sucked in a deep breath. He stood from the floor and saw that he was as aroused as she was.

"Sorry." She apologized, nibbling on her bottom lip that was swollen from their kisses. Looking down at her, the sight of her laying in the bed, breathing heavy drove him over the edge. He bent down and kissed her. He wrapped his arms around her and lifted her from the bed. His lips never separated from hers as his tongue explored her now familiar mouth. He would never tire of kissing her but tonight he needed more and he could tell that she wanted more.

Her legs wrapped around his hips and he carried her into the master bathroom, gently kicking the door shut. The moment it clicked shut he turned and pressed her against the door. Elizabeth squeezed her thighs together, pressing her center against his erection, forcing him to moan. "Shhhh." She said repeating the move.

His head pulled back so he could look at her and whispered, "Keep doing that and I won't be able to…" before he could finish she did it again.

With a devilish smile she unwrapped her legs from her hips and finally brought her feet to the floor. Her hands quickly went to the tie on his sweatpants and she quickly pushed them down. He stepped out of them and pulled her pants and panties down. "We have to be quick, I don't want Cameron to wake up." She whispered.

"I don't think quick will be a problem." He joked. He kneeled and she lifted her foot off the floor so he could remove the pants. Before she knew what he was doing she felt his tongue on her sensitive bud. The feeling made her instantly go weak. He grabbed her hips and held her body against the door as he nipped, sucked and his tongue teased till she came. She grabbed a handful of his hair and bit her lip to keep from moaning loud.

Before she could recover he stood, lifted one of her legs to his hip and entered her. She wrapped her other leg around his hip and wrapped her hands around his large biceps. His pace was quick and hard and their eyes never left each other. Her hips were lifting, meeting him with each thrust till he felt her tightening and her hand squeezing his arm. He quickened his pace yet more and caught her moan with his mouth as he too let out a moan as he came.

Her head moved to his shoulder as he held her against the door till her breathing slowed and she had the strength to lower her legs to the floor. Quickly slipping back into their clothes they opened the bathroom door to find Cameron in the same position.

"See, plenty of time." He joked as he swept her in his arms and carried her back to the bed.
