Chapter 8

When Elizabeth stepped out into the hall after packing for Cameron, Jason was waiting. "Which room is yours?" He asked her softly.

"I asked Monica to let me stay in your old room." Elizabeth had wanted to feel close to Jason. Even though "her" Jason had only lived in the mansion a short time she still swore she could feel him.

Holding out his hand, Jason waited until Elizabeth placed hers on top. He walked down the hall and made a right turn taking them to the room she was sleeping in. He had found the room with no problem. He remembered running up and down this corridor with AJ. Back when they were truly brothers. Before life as Quartermaines had separated them. "It looks the same."

"Monica didn't change anything after you left." Elizabeth said softly.

"I did a remodel after coming home from the hospital. One day I just snapped. I couldn't take being surrounded by reminders that I was just a defective version of the person they wanted." Jason said looking around at the plain walls. "Did Monica rescue all the trophies and awards I threw out?" Jason Quartermaine had been an overachiever. Jason Morgan had trouble stringing together a sentence. It had been too much to take.

"They are boxed up in the attic." Elizabeth said wrapping her arms around his bicep. "The ones you broke have been repaired."

"Good. I won't ever be him again." He told her.

"Monica has accepted that. I think what hurt the most was that you didn't remember her. I think she felt if you could remember yourself then you could remember her too." Elizabeth didn't want this to hurt him, but thinking on that time had to be painful.

"While I was stranded on the island, I asked myself how things might have been different if they had just given me the space I was asking for." Jason looked over at Elizabeth. "Or if I had actually tried the therapy they wanted me to go to. I realized that if I changed even one thing I might not have you or Cameron or our baby. Having you makes everything that came before the crash worth it."

"We never did do anything the easy way." Elizabeth said smiling up at him. "You might still have known me though. I was Emily's friend. Shortly after you moved out I started spending a lot of time here. So I would have met you eventually." They were quiet for a moment. "Jason."

"Yeah." He said taking her hand and leading her over to the bed.

"If you need some time I'll understand." Elizabeth didn't want to pressure him.

"Are you worried that we won't fit now that I have my memories?" Jason asked looking into her eyes.

"No. I love you, Jason Quartermaine has always been inside you. Just like Jason Morgan was inside Jason Quartermaine. I know that there will be differences, like how you take your coffee." She said laughing softly. "But they don't change who you are in here." She tapped over his heart. "You're still MY Jason. If you want to be."

"I don't want anything more." He assured her. "Will you let me look at you?"

"Look at me?" Elizabeth wasn't sure what he meant.

"I want to see how you've changed from carrying our child." Jason wanted his hands on her, he wanted to feel the life inside her without anything between them.

"You want me to take off my shirt?" She asked blushing slightly.

"Yeah." His body was stirring thinking about her undressing.

"Jason, I can't have sex." She wanted to, boy did she ever. But Kelly had ruled that out when her blood pressure started to climb. Not that she had anyone to have sex with.

"That isn't what this is about." He explained. "Although yeah I want you." He had a half smile on his face as she blushed. He loved it when she blushed. "I need to look at you." He couldn't really find the words to tell her why.

"I could take care of you." Elizabeth offered. She'd like to feel close to him.

"I will wait. It will take more than an orgasm to satisfy my need for you." They hadn't been together for over nine months, so waiting longer wouldn't kill him. Just having her close was enough right now. Although he did expect that when they got the all clear it would be a long night of love making. "Will you let me see?" He asked again.

Elizabeth nodded and began unbuttoning her shirt. When the garment was open he sat down on the bed and pulled her between his spread legs. Slowly he pushed the fabric aside and placed his hands on her round belly. Her skin was soft, but firm under his palms. She was warm and he could feel their son moving inside her. "Amazing." He said reverently.

He swept his hands from the top of her stomach to the bottom making sure to touch all of her. Leaning forward he placed the softest kiss right in the middle of her tummy. A life that they had created together was moving against his hands. He must have been an idiot to think he could watch this from a distance. "What name did you pick out?" He asked looking up at her.

"If you don't like it we can pick another." She said chewing her lower lip.

"I won't know until you tell me." He said smiling. Whatever she picked would be perfect.

"Jacob." She said softly bringing her hand up to cover one of his.

"For where we met?" He guessed. Her blush answered before she did.

"Yes." Elizabeth saw a light come into his eyes as he remembered that night.

"You were hot in those pants." He said smiling wide.

"Don't tease." She told him, liking that he thought so.

"Maybe after the baby is born we can get you another pair." He said bobbing his eyebrows.

"Please. I doubt that they would look the same. My body is different now." She told him. With her free hand she ran her fingers through his hair. "I like you hair like this." It was long enough to cover the top of his ears.

"I can leave it, if you want." He had no problem with that. "But you aren't going to change the subject that easily." His hands rubbed her tummy and she purred in delight. "You are sexier now then you were then. Which is pretty amazing. I like your; body every inch of it." He finished on a whisper as his eyes swept her from head to toe. He had no problem recalling how she looked. "Did you pick a middle name?"

"James." Elizabeth told him.

Jason chuckled. "You've been talking with Edward."

"I have." Elizabeth confirmed. "He told me that for the last nine generations the eldest son has had the middle name James. He wanted me to change Cameron's middle name, but I said it wouldn't count so Jake gets it."

"Jacob James Morgan." Jason gave it some thought. "Why can't Cameron have the name James?"

"He's not a Quartermaine or Morgan." Elizabeth said running her fingers through Jason's hair again.

"He's my son Elizabeth." Jason said standing and forcing her back a step. His hands moved from her stomach to her hip. "Just like Jake is."

"Jason, that isn't what I meant. I know that you don't love Cameron any differently." Elizabeth hadn't meant to upset him. "Jake is the eldest son in the bloodline. That's usually how traditions work. No one has ever made Cameron feel anything less than loved." She wanted him to know that.

"I want to adopt Cameron. I'd like to have Diane get started on that tomorrow. Will you let me?" Jason asked her. He was taking the step he should have taken long before now.

"Yes." She felt the tears coming. She cried over every little thing now.

"And I want his middle name to be James. Unless you object. I know his middle name is Alexander because of Zander." Jason wasn't trying to erase Zander's memory, but he wanted Cameron to have proof that he was the same as Jake and any other children they would have. "We can have Jake honor your side of the family."

"How?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"His middle name can be Steven." Jason said smiling. "Cameron James Morgan and Jacob Steven Morgan." He said trying them out.

How could she say no to that? "I like the way both names sound. The Morgan brothers. Sounds like a pair of outlaws." She said laughing.

"If we are going to have a posse we will need at least four more." Jason teased her. "I have no problem with that." He put his forehead on hers and imagined what they would look like. He could easily picture it in his mind.

"Me either. Although the next four could be girls." She said to tease him.

"My girls will kick ass just like their brothers." Jason said smiling. "If they are anything like you the world won't be ready for them. You amaze me Elizabeth." He said softly. He wanted to give all the words he never did. He was going to do better. "You're the reason I never gave up hope of getting rescued."

She didn't know what to say about that.

"I dreamed about you every night. Some nights I dreamed about what our family would be like, but every night I dreamed about you. Holding you, kissing you, loving you. Always you." He said looking into her blue eyes. "You saved me. You always save me." He dipped his head and gave her a gentle kiss. "I love you Elizabeth."

"Oh Jason." The tears were streaming from her eyes. "I love you too. So much." She cupped his face and brought his mouth back to hers. She felt his hands once again touch her belly as they parted. "He's kicking."

"I can feel it. Does it hurt?" He moved his hand to follow his son.

"Not really. Those are his feet." She took his hand and placed it at the bottom of her stomach. "That's his head."

"He's preparing to drop into the birth canal." Jason pulled up a memory from his college days.

"It should happen soon." Elizabeth told him. "I'm glad you are home with us, that you'll get to know your son from the beginning. That he'll get to know you."

"Even if I wasn't here, he'd know me. I've heard you tell Cameron stories about Zander." Jason couldn't help but laugh. "I notice you don't tell him any of the really good ones."

"Cameron is wild enough without me putting ideas in his head." Her eldest son was a bit of a daredevil. She blamed Zander, but Gram liked to point out that Liz hadn't been exactly angelic herself.

"He comes by it honestly." Jason snickered. "Emily told me some stories."

"Like what?" Elizabeth said pretending to be outraged.

"Like how you had three sets of fake ids." Jason said calling her out.

"I only had two, one was Sarah's." Elizabeth said defending herself. "I wasn't that wild. I was on my way to being a hellion." She had to admit that.

He saw the sadness come into her eyes, and pulled her close. "You turned out perfect Elizabeth." He didn't want her thinking about painful things. "What time do you go to sleep?" He saw her trying not to yawn.

"Around now, but I don't want to go to sleep. I'm afraid that tomorrow when I wake up you won't be here." She said linking their fingers.

"This isn't a dream baby." He said holding her tight. "I'm really home."

"I need to wait for Emily." She held him as tight as she could. "When she leaves with Cameron, I'll come up and go to sleep."

"I have a late meeting, but when I'm done may I come back?" Jason looked down at her. "I'd like to sleep with you in my arms."

"That would make me happy." Elizabeth smiled up at him. "I'd offer to wait up, but it won't happen." She slept like a log these days.

"I have no idea how long I'll be, so don't bother." Jason kissed the top of her head and rocked her gently. "Do you know where my things are?" He had some clothes in his rental car, but he would need more soon.

"Carly gave most of them away. I wasn't in any shape to do it. We kept some mementos." She said listening to the sound of his heart. "Your bike is in the garage here at the mansion."

"You kept the Harley?" Jason said smiling at her.

"Of course. I did have them put a new seat on it though." She had seen Sam on the back of his bike.

"You're sexy when you get possessive." He growled before kissing her neck and making her laugh. "I'll get a new bike and you'll be the only one to ride on it."

"Okay." She said rubbing her hands up his arms to link them around his neck. "I like the sound of that."

"I bet." Elizabeth's phone, which was in Jason's pocket, vibrated. "Morgan."

"The jet just landed." Monica told her son.

"We'll be right down." Jason said before hanging up. "Emily will be here shortly. Should I go get Cameron?"

"Wait until she stops screaming." Elizabeth couldn't wait for this. Her friend was going to be so happy. Jason buttoned her shirt up and together they went downstairs to wait with Monica.
