This is how I see Jason taking a chance on love and finding his true soulmate. The last chapter is what happened if Jason did nothing. Let's see what he does when he has a chance to prevent a tragedy. I still don't own the characters. They belong to GH and ABC.
When Jason realized that Elizabeth was having his son, something inside of him had changed. He had always loved Elizabeth but he put her at arm's length to protect her and his heart. He also started having flashes of the future. He could see that Lucky was still hooked on drugs and Sam telling Lucky that Jason was the father of Elizabeth's son.
Lucky went crazy and killed the one person who had his heart. He realized that if he really loved Elizabeth that he had to tell her the truth. Sam was never the one that Jason loved. He cared about her and wanted her but he never loved her. He wanted to but it just wasn't what his heart wanted.
Lucky had asked Elizabeth to marry him again and she felt that she should to protect her child. Lucky was still a very loose cannon and she didn't feel safe around him all the time but she knew that no one would suspect that her baby was Jason's if she married Lucky.
It was the day of the wedding. Liz felt like she was living someone else's life. She didn't want to marry Lucky but she didn't want Jason to feel like he had to come to her rescue again. Little did she know, that Jason was going to do it and in a big way.
Liz was upstairs getting ready and Jason came into the house to stop the wedding before everything just spiraled away. Jason had already told Sam that they were through and that he didn't love her. He told her that Elizabeth was carrying his child and that he was going to ask her to marry him.
Sam laughed at Jason because she knew that Liz would never run away with Jason and upset Lucky on their wedding day. She decided that she needed to be there to see if Lucky needed her help.
Jason saw Sam walk into the living room and wondered why she was there. He was not happy but he kept his mouth shut. The wedding started and Jason saw how beautiful she looked and remembered why he was there. The minister asked if there was anyone who had a reason why this couple should not be married.
Jason stood up. He saw everyone's eyes on him but he didn't care. "Elizabeth, don't marry Lucky. I love you and want to marry you. You are carrying my child and I know that you feel sorry for Lucky but that is not a good enough reason to marry him. Look in my eyes. I know that you can see how much I love you. I know you feel the same way about me. Just take my hand, and we will take Cameron and go wherever you want to go. I will take you to Italy, France or even the moon if you will have me."
Elizabeth just stared at him. She heard his words and knew that he was right. Everyone knew now and she should be mad at him but she felt that this giant weight was lifted off her. She grabbed Cameron and took Jason's hand. They left that night and went to the penthouse to figure out what to do next.
Jason called Diane and had her get everything in order, so Elizabeth and he could get married. He also wanted to adopt Cameron. Diane got everything ready. She asked him where he wanted to get married and when. Emily went straight to the penthouse because she knew her brother had taken Elizabeth and Cameron there first. She just prayed that she got there in time.
When Jason let Emily into his place, she started yelling at the two of them. She told them that Lucky was so upset that he had to be sedated. He was going off the rolls and she was worried that he would hurt himself. "You took everything away from him. How could you do that to someone you love? I thought you truly loved Lucky. I don't know if we could be friends now after what you did. You broke his heart in front of everyone who loves him. You should be ashamed of yourself."
"Emily, I don't think you really know everything that was going on between Lucky and me. He is using drugs, he has left them out where Cameron could get to them. He has also hit me and threatened me. I thought if I married him, things would get better but he was high today at our wedding. I am sorry if this ruins our friendship but the Lucky that I once loved is gone. He has been sneaking around and sleeping with Maxie. I caught the two of them in our bed the night I went to see Jason. He made me feel better and I don't feel bad about that. I love your brother. He trusts me. He also knows why I let Lucky think he was the father. Now, I will just have to be true to myself. That means that I love Jason and if you don't want to be here, go. Tell everyone what a slut I am and what a bad friend I turned out to be. You might be right about that but you have changed too."
Jason felt for Elizabeth. He looked at his sister and realized that the best thing that they could do was to leave town. "I need to make a few calls. I am going to see if I could work for Mr. Giambetti. Maximus can help me and we need a fresh start. You can go back to school or paint. Whatever you want to do. The world is yours to take. I just want to be there with you when you take it."
"Mr. Giambetti, I have a favor to ask you. I need to leave Port Charles. I asked Elizabeth to marry me. She is having our child this May. There are too many people who want to hurt Elizabeth and I won't have it. If I stay here, I will do something that will take me away from her and then they will come after her. Can you help us?"
"I have always thought that you are a great enforcer. I can see that you would do great things here or maybe you could get out altogether. I will talk to the five families about this. You could buy yourself a piece of land and grow grapes. I think that you would do great having a winery. I know that Elizabeth has a great heart and she would do anything to make you happy. You can't give up on her. You need to take care of her and worship her. I know that you already do. Just give me a few days and I will give you an answer one way or another. I think that your best bet until then is take her and her son out of Port Charles and go somewhere that will give you some distance from your family and her family. You both need some quiet."
"Thank you for that. I am thinking that we need a trip to New York City. We can be there quickly or maybe Boston. That way, no one would think about me going there. I will wait for your call but I think that Boston is calling me."
"You have a safe trip. Go see a Boston-Yankees game for me. I am sure that Cameron would love that. I am not sure about Elizabeth, but there are plenty of galleries to keep her happy. I will call you Wednesday night. You will have my answer then. God bless and take care of the four of you."
Jason hung up the phone. "We are leaving for Boston. Whatever we might need, we will get there when we land. I am getting us on the first plane to Boston. We need to get moving." Elizabeth knew that this was going to be their first stop of many. She also knew that she would probably never see Port Charles again but she didn't have a problem with that. She just didn't want to hurt her Grams.
"I have to call Grams first. She needs to know that I am safe and that you will take care of me." Jason told her that they would drive to her Grams first and then to the airport. Elizabeth gathered her son and the three of them headed to her grandmother's house.
"Grams. I just had to stop in and say goodbye. I am not sure where I am going to ending up at but it will not be in Port Charles. I have been hurt by too many people and I have hurt too many people. I just want you to know that I love you and that I will be safe. Jason will protect Cameron, the baby and me. He loves us and he would die for us. I have a feeling that I might be living in Italy. It is someplace that I have always wanted to live." She also packed a few suitcases of things that Cameron and she would need when they left.
"I do have a favor to ask you. When Lucky is not at home, can you have someone pack Cameron and my things and ship them to where we will be living. I believe it will be in Italy but that won't be for another week or so. I know that this is a lot but I can't be around here with Lucky acting the way he is and I don't want to upset him anymore than I already have done."
Jason helped her pack and he had his things already in his SUV. He had called Max and asked if he could pick up the SUV after we went to the airport. He said that he would and he already knew what was going on because of his father.
Audrey knew that she would be better off somewhere other than Port Charles. "Just remember that I love you too. You take care of my grandchildren. Jason, we might not agree on everything but I do know that you love my granddaughter and Cameron. I also know that you will love your son or daughter."
Cameron and Elizabeth gave Audrey a hug and kiss goodbye. She took one more look at the home that she had lived in when she first came to town. The ride to the airport was quiet. Jason bought first class tickets for them to Boston. The next flight left in a half hour. They had just enough time to get to the plane before it took off.
The flight was uneventful and they took a cab to the Four Seasons Hotel. Cameron was sleeping when they went up to their room. It had a beautiful view of the city. Jason looked at his fiancé and future son. He was so happy that he finally took the steps that he needed to be with the one person who held his heart.
"I am going to find a store close by and get us some things to help get us through the next couple of days. I know that we need to go shopping but look we are in the middle of a big wonderful city. I know there will be plenty of places to get clothes and whatever else we might need."
Jason kissed Liz and then he went to find a few things for the night. He found them something to eat for dinner and a few snacks. Cameron was still sleeping and so Jason went to take Elizabeth to the balcony and so they could see Boston at night. It was beautiful and she could see how she could live in this city forever if she had too.
They watched some television and the evening news. They kissed good night and had Cameron sleeping in between the two of them. Elizabeth wanted to be close to Jason but she knew that Cameron would be scared if he was left alone in his room. The three of them fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the phone calls started coming in. Jason chose to ignore most of the calls except the one from Max. He knew there was trouble if Max called. "Hey Max, what's up?"
"You are not going to like this but all hell has broken loose here in Port Charles. Sonny is not happy that you are gone. Carly is having a fit because her best friend won't answer his phone. Lucky has gone off the deep end and burnt down the house that he shared with Elizabeth and Cameron. There is nothing left. He is in jail on suicide watch. I did speak to my father and he will be calling you shortly. This is not a good time to come back home and I am sorry about Elizabeth's house. If there is anything that I can do, just ask."
"Did you hear that? I am sorry about your house. I know that you brought your most important things with you including everything for Cameron. I just need to know if there is anything that Diane might have to get you because of the fire."
"No. I have been going back and forth between the house and Grams. My important things had over at her place, which are with me right now. It is just, all of Cam's toys and clothes are gone. All we have our things in our suitcases. There might be a few more boxes at Grams but most of the stuff is gone."
Elizabeth started to cry and then Cameron woke up. He saw that his mother was sad and went to her. He looked up at her and Jason took the young boy and asked him for a favor.
"Your mom is sad today because we got bad news about your old house. There was a fire yesterday and everything is gone. Is there anything that you can think of that you and your mom need. When we settle down, we will be getting all new things but is there something that either of you can't live without. Is there a certain blanket, toy, game that you both love? Do you like a certain kind of cereal? Anything will help."
"Did Lucky burn the house down so mommy can't go back to him? I think that he is mean. He makes mommy cry a lot. He hurts her and I am glad that we are far away from him. Mom loves pancakes and French toast. I think that if we can get that sent up here, she will feel better."
When Elizabeth heard what he son said, she realized that even though he was young, he understood a lot more than what she gave him credit for and that hurt. Elizabeth went to the phone and called room service. A little while later, someone knocked on the door. Jason went to answer it and there was a cart with their breakfast on it. Jason tipped the waiter and took the food inside their room.
"I have been hearing things about Boston that a young lad such as yourself would enjoy doing while we are here. There are some cool museums that children love and a huge aquarium. We could go see a Red Sox game at Fenway. Just name it and we will do it."
"Jason, I just like hanging out with you. I don't care where we go. I did hear that there are some fun stores to see and maybe we can find something there."
Jason was surprised that Cameron seemed so grown up. He was just about to turn three but he acted like he was thirty. He had witnessed too much in his young life. Jason wanted to end that and make sure that Cameron was safe and knew that he was loved.
Elizabeth, Jason and Cameron left the penthouse suite and decided to take in the brisk sunny day. They had bought a stroller for Cameron so if he got tired, he could sit in it. They went to the New England Aquarium and Cameron was fascinated by all the things living in the ocean.
Jason had surprised Liz with a camera to start taking pictures of their new life. He knew that when they settled down, she could send some of the pictures to her grandmother and that would make Audrey feel better.
While they were in the aquarium, Jason received a text from Spinelli. The text was really from Sam and Jason knew it. The text said that he was needed back per Sonny's orders. Sam wanted Jason back because she thought if he was there, she could make him forget about the baby and Liz.
Jason texted back that he has left Port Charles and never coming back. Sam was so upset but then she figured that Spinelli could trace Jason's phone and she could go to wherever he was at and drag him back home.
Sam talked to Max and asked for help. She didn't realize that Max knew that Jason was in Boston. He realized that Jason's phone and Elizabeth's phone could trace them and led Sonny and Sam to where they were at.
Sam went to get Sonny's help and Max called Jason. "You have to ditch your cell phones. Sam is having Spinelli trace where you are at right now. You need to get out of Boston and head somewhere else where they wouldn't think to find you. Take my number down or my father's number and when you get a burner phone, text us. It will not be traced and don't forget Diane's number. If there are anything else that you might want from the phones that save it and put it in the phone. I think that is how it works but get rid of your phones as quickly as you possibly can."
"Liz, we need to go. We need to dump our phones and stay somewhere other than Boston. I think we should buy a car and travel south towards Providence or Newport. We will be alright. I will program Max's number, Maximus and Diane's number too. I know you will want to do that with your Grams number. Any pictures we can download onto the new phones and then we trash our old phones and leave."
The three of them left and went to check out of the Four Seasons. They asked if anything was wrong and Jason told them it was a family emergency. They took their bags and found a car dealership. Jason found a nice SUV and paid for it in cash. He also bought a car seat for Cameron and then they headed south to Narraganset.
Elizabeth had found a vacation rental near the beach. It sounded like a perfect place to lay low for a few days. The phones had been trashed and Elizabeth felt a little sad about leaving it behind but she knew, that anyone who wanted to speak to her besides her grandmother would not be friendly.
Jason paid in cash and knew that his resources were getting low. He had plenty of money but it was all back in Port Charles. He called Diane and she had everything ready for him to sign. The problem was getting it to him. Diane talked to Max and Milo about it. They decided to find someone who could deliver everything to Jason but under the radar. Max called his father and one of Jason's old buddies was now being called up to help. Maximus sent Johnny O'Brien to help Max with his plan.
It was very smart way of doing things and Max knew that he and Milo were going to be going back home soon. They did not trust their boss and Sonny did not trust them. Diane also knew this and she would rather work for Jason any day than Sonny. Max and Diane flew to New York City. That is where Johnny met them and took the papers and a notary to Rhode Island. They met a little diner and Jason signed the paperwork. The notary signed her part and since she worked in New York City, everyone would assume that Jason and Liz were there and not somewhere else.
Johnny told Jason that as soon as he dropped the paperwork off to Max and Diane that he would be back to guard them. "Maximus has been talking to the five families and it looks like you might be able to leave and go live in Italy. I would love to have you as my boss. Francis and I have been learning a lot about wineries and we both think that it would be a great job for you. We have also been looking at properties and there is one not far Maximus that is for sale. I will show you pictures of it later. I hear the clam cakes and chowder at Aunt Carrie's is the best. Maybe we can have some before moving to Italy."
Jason shook Johnny's hand and thanked him. Johnny then took off back to the airstrip with the notary. They flew into New York and he handed the paperwork back to Diane. Diane had already set up accounts for Jason in Europe. She also made sure that Jason had the adoption papers for Cameron. He was now Cameron Morgan. Jason and Elizabeth were going to get married by the justice of the peace in Rhode Island. They were going to be legally married before moving to Palmero.
The ceremony was going to take place the next afternoon. It was just going to be Jason, Elizabeth and Cameron. Elizabeth found a cute dress for the wedding. It was a maternity dress and it was going to be worn later so she wanted it to be short but stylish enough for a wedding.
It took her going through a couple of different boutiques but she found one that fit her nicely. It also had some give so she could wear it until the baby was born. Jason had a nice suit that he had packed. Then they went to find Cameron a nice suit for the wedding too. They found a bakery who could do a wedding cake for them. It was small but cute. It had to have chocolate in it and flowers on it.
The day was spent hanging out and walking on the beach. Cameron wanted to find some shells. Elizabeth had fun helping him find the prettiest shells near the shoreline. The two of them were having so much fun that they didn't even realize that Johnny was there. Jason saw him and the two of them went to talk on the boardwalk. Jason yelled to Elizabeth that Johnny was there and she waved back at them. She was happy for the first time in a very long time. She knew that Jason loved her and that was all that mattered.
Cameron found a few cool shells and then he was ready to go climb the big rocks. Jason knew that Cameron could do it but he was afraid that one of them would slip and hurt themselves. Jason walked over to Liz and gave her a sweet kiss. "I think it is time for me to take Cameron on the big rocks. You can go keep Johnny company. He is a little shaky when it comes to climbing."
Elizabeth knew that Jason wanted to keep her safe. The rocks were safe enough for Jason and Cameron but if she fell, it could hurt the baby. She handed Jason the camera for him to take pictures of the two of them on the rocks. Elizabeth walked over to the bench where Johnny was sitting. "I am so glad that you are here with us, Johnny. I have missed you and Francis a lot. I heard the rumors about your death, but I knew that Jason could never have done that. I figured he hurt you enough to make it look good and then sent you guys somewhere safe."
"You are right about the fact that Jason couldn't kill us. Jason called Maximus and asked for his help. Max, Milo and Jason took Francis and I out into the woods. They pretended to shoot us and then when they dumped our bodies, Maximus had someone waiting to bring us to Italy. We have been there ever since. It was the best thing that happened to us. We did miss you guys but Maximus kept us informed on what was going on in Port Charles. I am surprised that this didn't happen sooner but I am glad that it did. You both will be so much happier away from Port Charles."
"I agree. I guess we will have one guest for our wedding after all. Tomorrow, Jason and I are getting married. We found a justice of the peace who will marry us tomorrow and then we are having cake at our rental. I wish Francis was here too. It would be great having the both of you to witness our wedding."
Johnny smiled and Liz realized that he was going to be there. "Actually, Maximus and Francis will be here tomorrow. He has news for the two of you and thought it would be easier in person. They should be here around ten."
Liz watched her son Cameron climb the rocks with Jason. Jason was so patient with Cameron that it made her heart melt. Lucky would never have the patience or time to do something like that for her son. Jason took pictures of Cam when he found a starfish. Cam picked it up and he was so happy. The smile was infectious. Jason knew that no matter what happened after tomorrow, he was doing the right thing.
The four of them had a fun dinner. Johnny had gone and ordered pizza for them. The night was filled with lots of laughter and stories about the good old days. Cam went to sleep early due to all the fun on the beach.
Elizabeth went to sleep with Cameron and Jason slept on the bed next to them. He loved how beautiful she looked when she was sleeping. Cam woke up a couple of times because of bad dreams. They were always about Lucky. When Cam saw that Jason was there he was able to fall back to sleep.
It was a beautiful day and Johnny had gone to pick up Maximus and Francis. Maximus also brought his beautiful wife, Margaretta. He also picked up the wedding cake and got some pastries for their breakfast. Jason had put everything together for the party later that afternoon.
Margaretta went over to check on the bride. She was a calming influence on Liz's wedding day. "I have always wanted a daughter. I have my sons but I have always wanted someone that I could pamper and spoil on her wedding day. I have made arrangements for some pampering before you get married."
Liz got a massage done before getting ready for her wedding. She had a manicure and a pedicure after the massage. There was someone there to help her get dressed and then do her hair and make-up. Maximus was telling Jason that the five families have let him retire. They also know that Jason and his family were moving to Palmero and were under Maximus's protection. The only one with a problem was Sonny. He wanted Jason back. He demanded the five families force Jason to come back to Port Charles. When they said no, Sonny lost it.
Max and Milo had already moved back to Italy. Their father had sent for them before he talked to the five families. He wanted to make sure that they were far away from Sonny's reach. Then Maximus saw the families and spoke to them as a father who loved his children. He wanted them to know that Jason was like a son to him and that he deserved to be protected. He did his job very well but he was not allowed to have the life that he deserved. Maximus was going to make sure that he had the life he deserved and it would be in Italy.
Liz was ready to go and Johnny, Cameron and Margaretta were going in the first car. The second car was Francis, Maximus and Jason. They went to the justice of the peace and had a beautiful ceremony. Liz and Jason held hands and recited their vows to each other. "I fell in love with you the night that you saved me at Jake's. I was so angry and hurt after the fire that I thought took Lucky's life. I just wanted to go somewhere and not feel. The guy was a jerk and when he tried to take me outside, I was scared but I couldn't show it. Then you saved me. I put all my hurt and frustration on you and you let me do it. You let me talk about how hurt and lost that I felt with Lucky gone. You were a true friend. I knew then that you had a piece of my heart. I just didn't know what to do with it. You have always been there for me and you have saved me more times than I can count. You make me feel like I can do anything and you don't try to control me or hold me back. I love you Jason and there has never been anyone that has treated me the way that you have. I just wish that I was more truthful earlier and maybe we would be celebrating in another way today. I promise to love, honor and trust you."
Jason had a few tears in his eyes along with everyone else. "I fell for you that same night. You tried to be so tough and I knew that you were scared and that was why I let you take out your anger and frustration on me. You were my little sister's best friend and I wanted to protect you but I forgot about how loving you would affect me. We had such a tug of war for so long and we both hurt each other and we both hurt others because of our feelings. I realized that you are the one that I love. You are the one that I want to be with and protect. You are my forever. Just take this ride with me and I promise you will not regret it."
The justice then told them that they were married by the State of Rhode Island and that he may now kiss his bride.
Jason, Elizabeth and Cameron went to a couple of their favorite spots and had the photos taken. Then they went to their rental and the party begun. The cake and flowers were beautiful. Maximus found a place that catered the best Italian food in the state. They delivered it while the young family was getting their pictures done.
Maximus wanted to send Sonny, Carly, Sam and Lucky a message. He sent the wedding photos of the young couple for all of Port Charles to see. There were a lot of people back in Port Charles that were not happy that Jason and Liz were married. It just proved that sometimes you can get the happy ending that you deserve.
I might have a third installment of this story. Just comment that you want more.
