Chapter Twenty-Six

A night full of love was had, Jason and Elizabeth took pleasure in many of the rooms the penthouse had. Moving from the living room to the kitchen, which was supposed to be for something to eat, but food was quickly passed over for the more carnal pleasures. From the kitchen they went back to the living room, Jason was taking complete pleasure from driving Marco insane, and while Jason felt possessive it was more alerting the fact that Elizabeth was more than satisfied with him, for Marco's well being. From the living room they moved to Jason's bedroom and from there to the bathroom.

Morning had come and gone and still they were enjoying all the pleasures the body could sustain.

Elizabeth had taken a momentary break in order to call Dr. Kelly Lee, but after she had booked an appointment, they once again began seeking bodily pleasures. It seemed like neither could be sated, there lust and passion was overflowing and that didn't bother them a single bit.

For once, they were acting out of love and desire, past problems and tribulations were not a factor. Jason had awoke a starving, passion deprived vixen in Elizabeth and he was enjoying every moment of it.

When they finally headed back to the bathroom for a shower, to prepare for their appointment, Elizabeth was pleasantly sore and feeling better than every, about everything.

But as Jason lathered he back with the soapy suds, Elizabeth's mind began to formulate a plan, there was much to think about, but the abundant fact that it could work, well, that alone spurred her on. Until she had everything worked out though, she would keep mum, there was no need upsetting Jason, especially if she couldn't convince Jason that this course of action "could" work.

By the time they had finished showering, after another glorious session of love-making, it was time for their appointment. The time had come to discover whether or not they were going to be parents…

Both Elizabeth and Jason threw on comfortable clothes, clothes that when they returned would not be hard to remove. It seemed Elizabeth's carnal nature wasn't the only thing awoken. The deep-seated joy in being completely intimate with someone was addictive, for both Jason and Elizabeth and whenever granted a moment alone, it seemed all they wanted to do was partake in the joys of the flesh.

As they pulled into the parking lot of the hospital, Elizabeth wondered briefly if she should explain her plan to Jason, knowing he would look at her oddly if she blurted something out to Kelly without giving him a reason, well, it could either hurt their relationship or at the very least, give Jason pause.

So as they rode the Elevator, Elizabeth turned towards her future husband. That thought alone was all it took to bring a smile to her face, it was something to daydream about, but something completely different to know that some time in the not so distant future, they would be married and very possibly, raising a child together.

The nurse on duty explained to Elizabeth and Jason that Dr. Lee was running behind, an emergency C-section, but assured the couple that she would be with them as soon as possible, but the wait was likely to be an hour or more, especially if complications arose.

Relieved with the knowledge that she had a little longer to pitch her plan to Jason, Elizabeth thanked the nurse, then headed for the far stairwell, planning on having the conversation in private. The plan couldn't work if someone, especially the wrong someone overheard.

Jason looked at her oddly, but he saw the steel in her spine, so instead of arguing or questioning her motives, he followed without a word. Whatever was on her mind was something she wanted or perhaps needed to get off, and for that, he would stay silent.

"I am sure you are curious as to why I have drug you up here, but an idea occurred to me while we were in the shower, and I know you will probably baulk at this idea, or plan, whatever you want to call it, but I honestly believe, now that I have had some time to think about it and work out some of the details, that you will see that it is the only way to… Well, to put Lucky in our past and be able to move on with our future. Can you please stay quiet until I have said everything I need to say?" Elizabeth asked, already seeing the doubt in his eyes, but also seeing pure unadulterated love.

"I promise to remain silent, but I can almost guarantee that I don't like where this is headed, nevertheless, I know that with the possibility of you being pregnant, getting Lucky out of our lives is even more so important." Jason replied, suddenly very wary of what his girlfriend had to say.

"Okay, let me just say, I know, this is crazy, but seeing as how Lucky is just that, crazy, it may work. We believe that Lucky has been in contact with Luke or Laura, perhaps both or neither, he could even be in contact with either Nikolas or Lulu, whatever the case may be, it would not be wise to believe he hasn't remained in contact with at least one person in his family, with that said, I love you more than anything and cannot wait to be your wife and raise a family with you. Nevertheless, I think if we try to pass this baby off as Lucky's and then let it conveniently slip around one or all of his family members that this baby is his, one way or another, they are going to tell him..." Elizabeth paused, working up the nerve to explain the next part of her plan.

"I believe that we can, without saying a single word to him, that he is going to be a father. If for no other reason, he will want his child, especially, if I also let it slip that you and I are going to be married as soon as possible and you plan on adopting this child. Lucky will beat the hounds of he!!, to stop that. But in order for that to work, it would mean I would have to move this ring on the my other hand, and place it on my ring finger. Please don't think this is a ploy to get you to marry me quicker, although.." Elizabeth said, but only half teasing.

"Anyway, we will play it off like we are the happy couple, but a couple weeks into the 'fake' engagement, you and I will have a very public, very heated argument. I'll storm off, claiming I can't take your possessiveness, seeing as how I had already dealt with one man-boy like that. To my retreating back, you will shout that you are leaving Port Charles, that you can no longer handle my idiocy. After you leave our very public fight, you are going to go to… Well, this is where this could get complicated, we may need to rent a house, unless you don't mind staying in a motel or hotel for a few days, but it can't be something big, preferably something seedy, that way, no one will be able to trace you, anyway, it needs to be somewhere, not close to Port Charles, but also not too far away. That's where you will go, after a couple of days, while being heavily guarded, I will once again make a public scene and claim pregnancy hormones and demand that Marco take me to see you." Elizabeth once again paused, thinking this whole plan up didn't seem to take so long, but telling it seemed to be taking forever.

"So anyway, Marco will tell me he doesn't know where you are, I'll make a big fuss and say, something along the lines, that I cannot stay another moment in your stifling penthouse. I will look for a house somewhere close to the hotel you are staying at, but not close enough, should someone actually luck out and find you there, to make the connection that this has all been a ploy. Once situated, which should only take a few days, seeing as how I don't have much in the way of belongings, and then I will send Bobbie a letter, apologizing for my sudden leave and the way things had gone so badly for us. With any luck, a few short days and we should have Lucky, hook, line and sinker." Elizabeth finished, glad to be done, but wondering if she had forgotten anything.

"Elizabeth… I don't know about this, you would not only be putting yourself in danger, but you would also be putting our baby in danger. There has to be another way, Lucky will have to slip up at some point." Jason said, knowing even as he spoke the words, they were a lie. Lucky had grown up being on the run, so if he really did intend to stay incognito, then, even Jason with his wealth and considerable resources, was unlikely to find him. "I think your plan needs some fine-tuning, but all in all, it just may work. But we need to find every loophole and make sure there is no way that either you or our child ends up hurt because of this psychotic freak."

"Agreed!" Elizabeth said with jubilation, knowing that there was great risk to all those involved, but the rewards were also great and for that, she would risk life and limb."
