Chapter 9

Emily was flying from the car before Matt even turned the engine off. The only reason she could come up with for her mother asking her to return home immediately was Elizabeth and the baby. Her best friend wasn't due for another few weeks but babies came when they were ready. Emily noticed a strange car in the driveway, but quickly dismissed it. She ran up the steps and through the front door. "Mom!" The young doctor called out. "Mom!"

"In here." Monica appeared in the doorway to the parlor.

"What's wrong?" Emily asked as Matt came in behind her. He'd held her hand during the entire flight. Just keeping her calm. "Is it the baby?" Emily knew that Kelly was worried about Elizabeth's blood pressure. "Is everything alright? Why are we here and not at the hospital?"

"Emily let her answer." Matt said coming up behind his girlfriend and rubbing her arms.

"What's wrong?" Emily repeated.

"Come into the parlor." Monica instructed walking back into the front room.

"Mom what is –OH MY GOD!" Emily didn't even pause she flew at her brother holding him tight and sobbing.

Elizabeth and Monica just stood to the side and cried at the reunion.

Jason didn't say anything he just held his sister tight as she cried against him. He rubbed his hand up and down her back as she poured out her grief at his loss and her joy at his return. He had missed his sister so much. "It's okay Em." He said trying to calm her some.

"How, how are you here?" Emily looked up at him in shock. "Where have you been?"

Jason knew he needed to stop her before she got going with the questions. "My plane crashed in the ocean, but the pilot was able to get us both out of the aircraft before it sank." He started explaining. "I've been on an island for the last six months waiting to be rescued."

"I love you." She told him. It was something she wished she'd had the chance to tell him one more time. She hadn't even seen him in the week before he left. Her schedule at the hospital was nuts, and every spare moment was spent with Matt. Plus Emily had still been angry at him for breaking up with Elizabeth. She kept telling herself that she would catch up with him when he got home. They would sit down and she would tell him why his was being an idiot where Elizabeth and Cameron were concerned. But the chance never came because he hadn't come home.

"I love you too Emily." Jason thought she was just beautiful.

"I don't know what else to say." She was laughing and crying at the same time. "I never expected to see you again." Now she was just crying.

"Ssh. It's okay Em. You're going to make yourself sick if you don't stop crying." Jason just held her close again and looked over at his mother and girl. They were crying too. "Matt." He said greeting the doctor.

"Welcome back." Matt wasn't sure what else he should say. They didn't cover bedside manner for returned from the dead brothers of your girlfriend.

"Thanks." Jason said reaching over for a tissue from the box his mother extended. "Here, let's sit down." He said guiding his sister to the couch. "How have you been?"

"Good. Missing you." She said reaching for his hand. "You'll be here for the birth of the baby."

"I will." Jason smiled wide. All sorts of memories were making themselves known. "I remember the first time you saw the family fight. You were so scared, and I think you were convinced that the people who adopted you were nuts."

"You remember that?" She asked wide eyed looking over at Monica who had the biggest grin on her face. "How?"

"I hit my head when the plane was going down. Knocked myself out." Jason saw her switch into doctor mode. "I'm fine. I got checked out, and Elizabeth made me promise to get looked at again." He said before she got started.

"We can get an exam room and do it right now." Emily said standing.

Jason used their joined hands to pull her back down. "No we can't."

"Why wasn't your being found on the news?" Emily asked looking at him. "The crash and search were covered for days." It got to the point where she couldn't turn the television on because it hurt too much. The last thing she saw was Sam giving an interview about how much she loved Jason. Emily had wanted to kill the other woman, Jason hadn't even being seeing her for months.

"I'm keeping it quiet for now." Jason didn't want to give his sister too much information especially with Matt in the room. "Pretty soon I'll let everyone know I'm alive. For tonight it's just family." And Carly he mentally added. "I need a favor."

"Anything." Emily said almost bouncing with excitement. Her brother was home, and he had his memories back. "Wait." She said stopping him. "Are you getting back together with Liz?" Joy at his return or not Emily would kick his ass if he said no.

"Yes, Elizabeth has forgiven me for being monumentally stupid." Jason said laughing. "I'm not letting her go again."

"Good." Emily gave him another hug. Getting Jason back made her miss AJ even more. "What did you need?" She asked squeezing his hand.

"I need you to go back to Vermont, and I need you to take Cameron with you." Jason told his sister.

"You want me to leave? I come home and find out you're alive and you expect me to leave?" Emily looked at him like he was turning green. "Clearly you've sustained some brain damage. Matt maybe you should look at Jason." She wasn't leaving.

"Emily, your brother is fine. Noah Drake gave him a complete work up. He's going to fax the file here to the house tomorrow and send the films to the hospital when I call him." Monica told her daughter.

"You saw my dad?" Matt said surprised.

"I did. I'd be happy to have you look me over when I come in, after you get back." Jason threw in. That would keep him away from that pompous ass Patrick.

"He can do it tomorrow because we aren't leaving." Emily told Jason.

"Emily. Can I talk with you?" Elizabeth said walking out into the hall. She turned and waited for the other woman.

"You look tired." Emily said taking Elizabeth's pulse.

"I am, I can't go to sleep until you leave with Cameron." Elizabeth explained why she was still up.

"Not you too. I can't leave." Emily was prepared to dig her heels in.

"Emily, it's dangerous right now. Jason wants you and Cameron somewhere safe. If he could get away with it he'd have Monica and Edward leave too. I'm restricted from travel or I'd already be packed." Elizabeth gripped her best friend's hand. "There aren't many people I'd trust Cameron with. Since you are already on vacation this is perfect."

"Is it Sonny?" Emily knew why Liz had moved into the gatehouse. Emily only wished she still lived here. Whenever Matt worked overnight she stayed with Liz and Cameron.

"Yes." Elizabeth wasn't going to lie. "So I need you to take Cameron and keep him safe."

"He used to be a good man." Emily said of her former boyfriend. "Being power hungry has turned him into someone I don't even know anymore."

"Me either." Elizabeth missed the man Sonny used to be. "So you'll go?"

"Yeah." Emily agreed. Together they walked into the parlor. "Matt are you okay with Cameron coming back with us?"

"Sure, I like Cameron." He and Emily had baby sat on more than one occasion. Having the little boy around gave Matt an excuse to watch cartoons. "Is the cabin childproofed?" They were at the Quartermaine cabin which was located near a large ski lodge.

"Yes. We used to take Michael up there when Carly was married to AJ." Emily told her boyfriend. "We can get him winter gear in the morning." Emily would love to teach her godson how to ski. "Do we need to leave right away?" She wanted to stay and visit.

Jason looked at the clock. "I'm afraid so." He stood up and hugged his sister again. "When you come back, we'll spend the day together. I'll answer all the questions that I can."

Emily gave him a squeeze. He and Sonny had been as close as brothers for a decade. This couldn't be easy on Jason. He was being forced to choose between the woman he loved and the man he thought of as family. At least Carly had gotten her act together. "Will Sam be gone when I get back?" Emily asked hopefully.

"She's pregnant too." Elizabeth reminded her friend.

"Do we have proof of that?" Emily wouldn't put it past Sam to be faking it.

"Emily." Monica said trying, and failing, to sound like she wanted her daughter to behave.

"I'll go get Cameron." Jason hurried upstairs and brought the sleepy little boy down.

"Hi aunt Em. Jason's home because he wasn't with the angels." Cameron said only partially awake.

"I know. Guess what?" Emily said as Elizabeth came over with the little boy's coat. Jason was handing Matt the bag with Cameron's clothes.

"What?" He gave his aunt a sleepy smile.

"You are coming with me and Matt. We're going on the plane to Vermont." Emily said zipping his jacket closed.

"Is momma coming too?" Cameron asked as Emily picked him up.

"Nope, just you. Wanna learn how to ski?" Emily asked keeping her voice light.

"Okay." Cameron said as his head found its way to Emily's shoulder. His eyes closed and he went right back to sleep.

"Thanks." Elizabeth ran a hand over her son's curls and tried not to cry. Jason would handle this and hopefully by Monday Cameron would be back home.

"I love Cameron time. We'll call every night." Emily promised. She looked over at Jason and smiled. "I'm so glad you are home and okay." She said wiping away tears.

"We will have a proper welcome home when you get back." Jason told her.

"I'm holding you to that. I might even make you wear a suit." Emily threatened. "Come on Matt, we should go." Without being told she knew the plane was waiting. "I love you."

"I love you too." Jason said kissing her forehead before kissing Cameron's. The phone in his pocket vibrated. Looking at the caller Id he saw it was time for his meeting.

"I'll walk you to your car. Do you need a car seat?" Jason had forgotten all about that.

"No, we are driving my car." Emily already had one installed.

"I'll come too." Elizabeth said reaching for the blanket on the back of the couch.

"NO!" It came from all three doctors and Jason.

"It's just out to the car." Elizabeth huffed.

"It's too cold out." Jason told her. "Mom walk Em out I'll take Elizabeth upstairs." It had been an emotional night and she should rest.

"I'm not made of glass." Elizabeth pouted.

"Humor me." Jason said as Monica, Emily who was carrying Cameron, and Matt headed to the door. Gently he picked up his pregnant girlfriend as started for the stairs.

"Jason, I'm too heavy put me down." She said only half protesting.

"You think I'm too weak to carry you and my son?" He pretended to take offense.

"No." She said placing her head on his shoulder. In what was now their room he helped her undress telling himself to relax as she stripped down to just her panties. Even round with their son she was still sexy. He grinned when he saw she was sleeping in one of his shirts.

"I thought you got rid of everything." He liked that she was wearing it to bed.

"I said almost everything." Elizabeth said crawling into bed as he held up the covers. "I kept a bunch of your shirts."

"I'll be back as soon as I can." He said sitting down next to her and gently rubbing her back. "Go to sleep baby."

"Kay." She sounded like Cameron had. "Love you." She said as her eyes closed.

"I love you too." He would make sure she heard that from him every day. When she was out he headed back downstairs. Monica was waiting at the bottom of the stairs. "I'm not sure how late I'll be back. I need a key to the front door."

"Wait here." Monica hurried down the hall and quickly came back. "This is your father's key ring. That way if you run late I can still get to work tomorrow."

"Thanks." Jason remembered the key chain. It was a Father's day gift from him and AJ. "Elizabeth is asleep."

"Good she needs to rest." Just needing to Monica gave him another hug. "I'm so grateful you are home."

"Me too mom." Jason told her watching as she went up the steps. Switching mind sets he walked out the door, locking up behind him, and headed for the cottage.
