Chapter 15

It had been a full week since Jason had left their penthouse apartment to go help Sam who had found herself placed in jail on faulty evidence. A full week since Sam McCall had made a run for it, which in turn had caused herself and Jason to become fugitives. A full week since Elizabeth Webber Lansing Spencer had gotten any sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes she'd envision Jason being shot, dieing or dead and she would wake up in a cold sweat, her head pounding and her heart breaking from all the things left unsaid. It was thanksgiving eve and as she placed her little boy in his bed all she could think about was Jason. Was he all right, was he hurt, was he alive? And lord help her if anyone was ever foolish enough to place her in the same room with Sam ever again. Elizabeth was trying desperately to find a reason why the stupid woman would run from the cops, knowing Jason was on his way to help her?

"Mommy when's Jason coming home? I miss his bed time stories." Came the small whimper from the small bed that held her sons small form. He'd been asking this every night since Jason had left and each night all she could do was answer the same. She wished she could tell her son that Jason would be home in the morning to spend Thanksgiving with them like a real family would, that tomorrow night she'd have him read him a story about Italy like he had her once upon a time, but she couldn't. She couldn't allow her son to place that much hope in just her own wishful thinking.

"I don't know baby, but I know wherever he is he's trying real hard to get back to us. Would you like me to read you a story instead?" when the little boy pouted and shook his head Elizabeth sighed and eased on the side of the bed where she bent forward to brush a sweet kiss to her little boys forehead then touched it with her own. "I know baby, I don't compare do I? Why don't you close your eyes and try and get some sleep, tomorrow's a big day." When Cam gave a reluctant nod and closed his eyes Elizabeth leaned back up and allowed herself a moment to trail her fingers over her sons face before rising and moving to the door. With one last look she turned off the light and stepped out of the room leaving the door opened just a crack so if he needed her she would hear.

Sighing she rolled her head trying to ease the pain tension was causing her but it didn't help, not nearly like she wished it would. Moving to her bedroom she couldn't help but smile over the purple pain still on the walls. She hadn't changed anything in the room other than place her clothes in the closet and some photos on the dresser. In her mind this was still Brenda's room and always would be. She didn't mind sharing though and she hoped neither would the beautiful model should she ever return. Grateful she'd already showered when she came home from work she went to her dresser and rummaged around for a bit till she found her favorite nightgown. Usually she slept in her worn out pjs but tonight she needed a bit of silk to comfort her. Stripping then dressing she smiled as the silk slid over her small body, hugging her gently rounded belly, a mere bump to what she knew would come. She'd been big as a house with Cam and Zander hadn't been that big of a man, she could only imagine what Jason's baby would do to her body. She didn't care though; she'd be as big as she had to so long as the baby was healthy.

Taking up her brush she ran it lightly through her chocolate curls before replacing it only to pause as her eyes fell to the picture of her pregnant with Cam. It was always a favorite of hers and one that had held a proud spot on the mantle of her old home. Picking it up she smiled as she lowered her free hand to her belly and gave it a gentle caress. "Soon I'll be taking another one with you little one? How does that sound?" she smiled and placed the picture frame back to its spot. "I hope your not camera shy baby cause mommy loves taking pictures of her babies." She sighed then and moved over to the window looking out over the harbor as her thoughts turned to her baby's father.

"Where is he little one? Where's your daddy huh?" shaking her head at herself she turned and was about to head to bed when she thought she heard a noise downstairs. Fear leaped in her heart, afraid that maybe someone was breaking in then with a thought she laughed at herself. There were guards at every single entrance of this building, two standing right outside the apartment door. There was no way someone could break into this place. Still she had heard something hadn't she? Grabbing her robe she tied the belt and made her way to the upstairs hallway, keeping her body close to the wall as she tried to see down the stairs in hopes of seeing who was out there. The only people she could think of with keys were Carly and Sonny. Lord help her if it was Carly.

Elizabeth and the blond woman had come to a sort of understanding but they were anything but friends and nowhere near comfortable with each other so she figured it would probably be Sonny coming to check on her. Smiling at the thought she shook her head and made her way downstairs, careful to watch the steps less she trip.

"Sonny, I told you yesterday I'm fine and don't need to be…"she choked on the rest as there standing by the desk was the tall frame of Jason, his back to her as he sat down his keys. For a moment time stood still as he turned to look at her and she drank in the sight of him.

"Jason…"she whispered, afraid to talk too loud less she make the dream go away. When she saw him give a slow nod it was all she could do not to bowl him over when she raced down the rest of the stairs and ran up to him throwing her arms around his neck and holding onto him for dear life. There was just the slightest hesitation before his arms came crashing around her, hauling her up even tighter against his body, his nose buried in her fragrant locks of hair. "God Jason I've been so worried, with the news and Ric it was all I could do not to beg Sonny to tell me where you were." She whispered tears breaking her voice.

"I know I tried to get back as soon as I could. Things got a bit complicated when Sam made a run for it. We had to go to a safe house and hide out till Sonny was able to make a deal with Ric." Slowly leaning back Jason drowned in the beautiful sight she made. Over the last week he'd spent a lot of time thinking about what he wanted when it came to Elizabeth, Cam and this new child. He hadn't wanted to but he had begun to compare Sam to Elizabeth and it wasn't fair to either women but the truth was, Sam continuously fell short. Jason had found himself thinking of what had made him fall in love with Sam and what had made him continue loving Elizabeth.

He knew with Elizabeth things would be hard at first, with his career and her settling into this new life they'd made for themselves but he'd discovered that he'd give up almost anything to have a chance with this beautiful angle standing in front of him. Raising his hands to cup her face gently it was all he could do not to show the slight trembling in them. He didn't know what he was going to say, how he was going to say it or even if she would accept it, but he knew that what he'd told her on the docks not to long ago was true. Timing wasn't everything, it was about choice and if he had to make one, he'd choose a life with Elizabeth every time.

"You're so beautiful, smart. You make me see things I never really noticed till you pointed them out. You have a lot of dreams, and that's good cause I hardly have any so I can believe in yours. You have given me in one moment everything I've ever longed for. You've given me a family. That's what you bring to me. What can I give you? A life of danger, guards following your every move? But I still want you. I want you here every day when I come home. I want to read bedtime stories to your son who I want to some day call my own and I want to hold our baby in my arms and give them the kind of love and sense of family that I never had. I want to love you Elizabeth to the best of my ability."

From the moment he'd first started speaking tears had sprung to Elizabeth's eyes as words of the past came haunting back to her but this time was different, there was more to it now, more hopes and dreams than any time before. With Jason she'd always have moments when the past would catch up to them and strike them out of nowhere. Some would be sweet and loving like this one, others playful and innocent and yes some would be hard and hurtful but Jason wasn't a walking reminder of the past like Lucky, instead Jason Morgan was her future, regardless of what anyone might say. She'd been foolish before when she'd walked away from his love, but not this time, this time she was ready to take his hand.

"I thought that the danger would always be too much for me and my children. That no matter how much I cared, you were just too big a risk for me to take but I know now that the biggest risk of all would be throwing this away again. I don't care about the danger Jason, I know that so long as it's in your power you'll keep us safe and you were right before. I'm the mother of your child; I'll be a target wherever I go, so the safest place for me is right here by your side. Jason you have always listened, when no one else could hear me. You have always trusted me to live my own life even when I didn't trust myself. You have made a home in my son's life and mine in such a short period of time and soon there's going to be another. A little one who's going to need you and depend on you but whose going to love you as deeply as I do. I want you to be there every day, to watch over them and witness every little miracle every little achievement. You make me happy Jason. I don't want to be anywhere or with anyone but you."

Before the last of her words were out his lips were on hers, caressing hers as his arms slipped around her, pulling her as close to him as he could manage. Other men had kissed Elizabeth but she'd always known that the only one who could ever really curl her toes was Jason Morgan. He had a way of kissing you so deep you could swear he was kissing your soul. Her heart began to race as her own arms came around his neck, pulling him, keeping his lips locked to hers for fear of him breaking the kiss for any reason. A low growl would leave him and soon Elizabeth found herself up in his arms as he made his way for the stairs to a room that was no longer his or hers but from now on would be theirs, like the future that awaited them both.
