Enjoy

Chapter 10

The next morning Elizabeth woke to an empty bed. She looked around the room for some sign of where her bed mate could be. She didn't hear anything coming from the livingroom. Where the boys still asleep. She looked at the clock 11:30am. What. She turned again at Jason's side of the bed and saw there was a note.

"Hope you enjoyed your rest. You will need it for what's next to come. Spinelli and I took the boys sightseeing. Answer the door at 11:45 and don't worry, it's safe. I love you and will see you tonight."

"What have you done now Morgan?"

Elizabeth glanced at the clock again. Shit he said 11:45, that's in fifteen minutes. Elizabeth jumped out of bed and quickly dressed in jeans and a sweater. She truly had no idea if this was going to be appropriate dress or not. She opened her bedroom door to the parlor room and found coffee and a plate of fruit waiting on the dining table for her. She quickly ate the fruit and poured herself a cup of coffee as she threw her mess of curls into a loose bun and put her shoes on. Right on time, there was a knock on the door.

"Yes."

"Ms. Webber, the car is ready for you downstairs."

"Wha- I'm sorry car?"

"Yes ma'am. Please just grab your jacket. You won't need anything else."

"Where am I going sir."

"I'm sorry Ms. Webber, the staff is under strict orders from Mr. Morgan not to tell you your destinations."

"Destinations? As in more than one place."

"Yes ma'am, now if you please come with me, the car is waiting."

Elizabeth chewed on her bottom lip as the uncertainty of leaving. Jason told her it would be ok.

"Ok, let's go."

"Very good."

Elizabeth tried to guess at what was happening on the ride down to the hotel lobby. But she has learned that when Jason sets something in motion, every detail is perfectly in place. So while she may not know where she was going or what she was doing, she was pretty sure she would love it and at the end of the day her journey would lead her to Jason. As she exited the hotel lobby, the concierge was seen running around from his post with a fairly large bag in his hands.

"Ms. Webber, Mr. Morgan instructed that you have this during your day today."

"Thank you."

Elizabeth exited the hotel to the waiting car. She didn't think she would ever get used to having someone open the door for her. She climbed into the car and got herself situated. She pulled the bag next to her so that could see what Jason had done now. Inside, she found a drawing pad and few charcoal pencils with a note.

"Spinelli and I will take plenty of pictures today, but I can't wait to see the Falls through your eyes. So that when you get back home, you can replace what you destroyed and heal. I love you."

She felt a single tear slide down her cheek. The studio and all of her work. She was so lost that day. The picture of her and the boys. The empty space on the other side of it. She quickly pushed all those memories out of her head. Things were different now, things were going to be better. She rolled the window down and opened up her drawing pad. "See the Falls through my eyes? What is that some kind of metaphor for draw the wind." That single statement gave her the inspiration to "draw the falls". She began to create the lines, the crashing waves, the white caps. She could close her eyes and see the view of the Falls from her room. The colors, the water, the people, the places. Everything was etched in her memory and to pick one glorious scene was impossible. She would need an entire room to draw what she could see. She instantly threw the paper and pencil back in the bag and reached for her cell phone and dialed.

"Metro Court Hotel, this is Marty."

"Marty, is Carly available?"

"Yes, my I tell her whose calling?"

"Yes, it's Elizabeth Webber."

"Hold please."

Elizabeth sat there for what seemed like hours. She was the last person that Carly would be expecting a phone call from.

"Elizabeth? Is Jason ok?"

"Yes Carly, we're all fine."

"Oh, well then what did you want?"

"I wanted to talk to you about the Pediatric Wing and Endowment in Michael's name. I hope your not mad that Jason told me."

"Why would I be mad. You work at the hospital. You would have found out about it sooner or later. Why, what about it."

"I want to paint a mural for the family room. I want the whole room to be a distraction and a comfort to the families while their children are being examined or treated."

"Well that's very generous. I hope you aren't expecting to get paid for this, cause I didn't request this."

"Carly. I want to do this. I saw what you went through with Michael and if the parents and families can be together somewhere that is comforting and relaxing instead of cold and sterile like most of our family rooms, then that is all the payment one parent could ask for in helping another."

"Well, did you have something in mind?"

"As a matter of fact, I've recently been inspired and am in need of a canvas big enough to portray my feelings."

"Well, I want a proof before I sign off on it."

"Sure. I can handle that. One more thing, I want this to be between the two of us only. Don't tell Jax or Sonny or Jason. No one."

"Keeping secrets already Lizzie?"

"NO! Never. I just want it to be a surprise to everyone that was affected by what happened to Michael. Please?"

"Ok. Call me sometime next week and we can go over things. I have to go. Bye."

"Bye Carly."

Ms. Webber, we have arrived at your first destination. I will pick you up for your next one 4:30."

"4:30 – that's like four hours from now. What am I possibly going to do for the next --- four --- hours."

The Senses Spa & Boutique – that was what was plastered across the building. That was Jason's surprise – a day at the Spa.

"Ms. Webber, welcome to the Senses Spa & Boutique. Mr. Morgan has created a day of bliss for you this afternoon. Could you follow me please?"

"Uh – sure. Can you tell me what I'm doing today."

"Certainly. Mr. Morgan selected the Head to Toe Rosemary and Peppermint. This package includes a rosemary hot oil hair a scalp treatment, a cane sugar body glow a peppermint and rosemary salt scrub for your feet with a lavendar paraffin wax treat ment and herbal moisturing massage. This also includes are sensory massage Sous la Pluie. Right this way."

"Well that sounds wonderful. Can you tell me what I'm doing after that?"

"Mr. Morgan said you would be sneaky. I cannot tell you what Mr. Morgan has planned afterwards, but whatever it is, it is abudantly obvious this man loves you very much."

"Thank you."

"Right in here. Just sit, relax and let the staff take care of you. And if you need anything, please let one of us know."

Elizabeth was pretty sure she wasn't going to need anything. It would seem that Jason had taken care of everything.

The next few hours were mind numbing and amazing. For a woman who felt that she couldn't be any more relaxed on this trip was sorely mistaken. Every muscle had been rubbed, every knot had been massaged. Her hair felt wonderful and smelled amazing. Her feet were the softest they had ever been even though the treatment tickled like all get out. And whatever that Sous la la thing was, Carly seriously needed to consider having one installed in the hotel. As she gathered all her things and went to leave, her cell phone rang. A smile gathered as she knew it could be only one person.

"Hi you."

"Hey yourself. How has your day been?"

"Very relaxing. But it's missing something?"

"What, did the staff forget something?"

"No. The thing missing is the boys and you. Jason, I don't need spa days like this. I would much rather be out with you and the boys sightseeing. How are they?"

"Cam and Jake are having a blast. I promise Spinelli has taken plenty of pictures. And Elizabeth, you deserve so much more than a spa day. You have endured so much these past couple of years, most of it was because of me. A little time to yourself is much needed and well deserved. But it's time for your next destination. I will see you later this evening. Enjoy and I love you. Bye."

"But Jason wait, what about – bye."

Elizabeth sat down in the car as it drove towards her next surprise. She actually dozed off for a minute. All this pampering and massages can really make a girl sleepy. She jerked her head as she felt the car stop. She looked confused. She was back at the hotel and the concierge was leading her not towards the elevator but the Salon.

"Ms. Webber, do you have any preferences for your hair?"

"I'm sorry – what do you mean my hair?"

"Up, down, straight, curly."

"Depends on the occasion. Can you give me a hint as to what I'm having my hair fixed for?"

"An evening of surprises is all I am permitted to say."

"Well then, how about loose curls pulled up with a few sprays pulled down."

"Sounds wonderful."

Elizabeth sat in the chair while her hair was done and then her makeup was done. She did have strict orders where her makeup was concerned. Very light, very minimal. When she was done, she looked beautiful. She felt weird standing in the middle of a salon with a pair of jeans on and her hair and make up done. This could mean only one thing, she was going somewhere. Next she was lead to the elevator to go to her room. When she arrived there three strange people standing in the main parlor of her room.

"Am I in the correct room? Is there something I can help you with?"

"No ma'am Ms. Webber. We are here to help you. Mr. Morgan was quite specific in what he wanted."

"He was, was he?"

"Everything has been picked out and paid for. We are here to just help you get dressed so that you can leave for your next destination."

"Another destination. Wait – dressed? In what?"

She asked and she got her answer. In her room spread out on the bed was a spagetti strap sapphire blue dress. Next to it was a black pair of lace boy shorts and a black strapless bra. On the floor where a pair of sapphire blue velvet peep toe pumps. The dress was organza with a silk underlay. Elizabeth closed the door so that she could dress in private. The dress was fitted at the bust, while the rest was free flowing and stopping just short of the knee. She opened the doors and the three people where waiting.

"Ms. Webber you look absolutely dreamy if I may say so my self. Here is your wrap for the evening. It is quite chilly this evening, but I imagine looking like this warmth won't be an issue."

"Um-thank you, I think. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do?"

"Head down to the lobby to your car."

With those instructions, she entered the elevator, quickly becoming nervous. What was he up to? And where was he and where were the boys? She exited the elevator and the lobby to the limo waiting for her. When she sat down she found a single red rose with a note.

"Wanna go for a ride?"

What in the hell did that mean? Certainly he didn't think I was going to get on a motorcycle in this weather or even in this beautiful dress? She took a breath and sat back and tried to relax. Everything today had been wonderful, she couldn't remember a time when she had felt so loved.

Jason Morgan had never known a time when he had ever felt so nervous. He was so nervous he couldn't register how cold it was. His cell phone beeped. Message from Spinelli saying the fair one just left and him and the progenies had returned to the room for the evening. He would let him know if he was in trouble. He began to pace at the pad sight. Tonight she would be his forever. His heart was beating in his throat. He saw her limo pull up and when she stepped out of the car he stopped breathing. She was amazing. He walked towards her as she did he.

"You look breathtaking."

"Jason – what is all this?"

"Ssh. In due time, I promise. I know I have sent you all over the place today and I'm sure you are twisited trying to figure out what I'm up to, but please, just bear with me just a little while longer?"

"Always. I love you. So where to next?"

"Our ride." He said pointing to the helicopter.

"That's our ride? Are you sure about this?"

Jason said nothing, he just led her towards the helicopter never taking his eyes off of her. She was absolutely glowing and he had no intention of her ever losing it. He helped her into the helicopter and handed her her headphones. He explained that they could hear what the pilots where saying but they couldn't hear what they were saying to each other unless it was necessary. As the copiter ascended into the night sky Elizabeth squeezed Jason's hand.

"Where are we going?"

"Tour the falls at night."

"Can you really see much at night?"

"Oh, I'm sure we will see something?"

It was silent for a few minutes as they looked outside of the window at the aeriel view of Niagara Falls.

"Elizabeth – I need to tell you something. Thank you. Thank you for believing in the good in me, for never letting go of us, for reminding me of what was truly important. My life is no where near perfect and it will never be safe, but if you are absolutely serious about a life with me, I will make sure every single minute of the day that you and the boys are safe. I want a lfe with you and the boys. I want us to live together, to maybe have more children, to grow old together. I want it all and if to other people that means we're being selfish, then so be it." minutes of silence. "Elizabeth, please say something."

Elizabeth scoots close to Jason and kisses him gently on the lips. "Jason, I can't even imagine the words to describe what I am feeling. You make me fill so complete. You make an effort to show me exactly how much you love me and those boys. After Emily died something broke inside of me. She was my inspiration of what love was supposed to be. Her and Nicholas loved no matter what the consequences and children were involved. I don't think I could live my life without you, nor do I wish to. I love you so much and I can't wait to see what each new day brings us."

Jason and Elizabeth gaze longingly into each other's eyes for a few moments. All of sudden Elizabeth catches a glimps of light out of the corner of her eye. She slides over to the window and is in just awe.

"My gosh Jason, what is this?"

"It's called Illumination at Dusk. Every evening when it is dark, the falls light up in the colors of the rainbow. They put on this little dance of color so to speak. At Christmas time, they really go all out."

"Jason, it's absolutely beautiful. The colors beaming out through the falls is amazing."

Elizabeth sat in stillness watching as the falls lit up. She was rambling on about the colors and the water and the calming effect it gave you just watching the colors fade from one bright hue to another. She wasn't even paying attention to Jason who just sat their watching her face light up with glee. She was like a kid with a new puppy she was laughing and pointing. She never heard him say anyhing. Well that is until..

"Marry Me."

Elizabeth shot around in her seat abruptly. Her face blank and solemn as she was trying to process what she thinks she may have just heard in her headphones. Jason slid closer to her and took off his headphones and then took off her headphones. He reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a black box which held a two carat princess cut stone in a platinum setting. The stone gleamed in the moonlight. Elizabeth's breath caught when she saw the ring. She couldn't speak, she couldn't move. It may have been dark in the cabin but Jason could see the color sweep across Elizabeth's face. Jason nuzzled into her neck and whispered, "Marry me."

Elizabeth's brain still wouldn't let her speak. Her heart was full, the tears were spilling down her face and all she could muster was to frantically shake her head yes. She threw her arms around Jason's neck and they kiss. He takes her hand and slips the ring on her finger. Their fingers entertwine and they lean into each other during the remainder of the flight. The helicopter decinded in silence and Jason and Elizabeth exit the copter and stop to stand in front of a railing with a front row view of the falls minus the splash back.

"Hold on a second real quick. I will be right back."

"Ok – Jason what are you doing now?"

Jason came back with the pilot who had a camera in his hands.

"Please take our picture sir. I want this moment to be forever cemented."

"Sure – what's the occasion."

"She said yes."

"Well congratulations you too."

Jason wrapped his arms around Elizabeth's back and pulled her closer to him. She gazed into his blue eyes and smiled and he did the same. She laid her head on his chest as they looked towards the camera. After Jason collected the camera and paid the pilot for the ride they headed towards the limo. As Jason opened the door for his fiance, he snaked his arm around her waist and grabbed her for a kiss.

"Spend the night with me?"

"Forever – I love you Mr. Morgan."

"And I love you – the future and final Mrs. Morgan."
