Chapter 14
Jason woke up, hugged the woman sleeping next to him and slipped out of their bed at one minute to midnight. Hearing the soft knock on the door, he glared at his sister as she gave him an unrepentant grin. "Okay, okay, I am leaving. Just take care of her for me, okay?"
Emily laughed, when she had finally returned home in March she had been shocked at the changes.
Slipping in the front door, Emily heard the sound of laughter in the living room. Entering silently she watched as Grandfather was competing with Cam to see whose snowflake melted down the French door window fastest while Jake was already asleep next to Monica who was reading a medical journal. "Hello?"
As they shouted and all rushed to hug her, Jake woke up and rubbed his sleep filled eyes before saying a shy hello. "Hello, my sweet little nephew."
As he stood and walked over, Emily felt her heart drop as how big he had gotten and all she had missed. After the hugs and promising to answer questions in a bit, she said "Where is Elizabeth?"
"Jason had a meeting so she took dinner to the office so they could have a late night date." said Monica. "Do you want me to call them home?"
"Home?" she asked joyously.
"Home." replied Edward with pride as they heard a door opening. Expecting to see Jason and Elizabeth, Emily was shocked to see Michael entering the house. "AUNT EM!" he called out and rushed over to hug her. "I guess that means they found you. Where have you been?"
As everyone settled down, Em heard an ahem and turned to see Alfred in the doorway. "Alfred, why are you here?"
After hugging the stuffy butler, she was beyond astonished to hear he was working at the mansion, that Alice had been fired for endangering Jake and Cameron and that he had several maids helping him do the job.
When Elizabeth and Jason finally showed up, Emily walked to the doorway only to see the happy couple kissing in the hall, with Jason suggesting since it was so quiet they could slip upstairs and head to bed. "Please don't, I--"
As she was hugged, Emily and Elizabeth were both crying and talking over one another until Michael who had come to the hall whistled and said "Hey, we have been waiting patiently to hear this too."
Once they were all settled, with Cam sitting next to Emily, a spot he refused to give up for anyone and Jake in his father's arms, she said "I have no idea where I was being held, but someone showed up, asking questions about my past about my biological family as well as the Quartermaines."
"Then nothing, I know that Georgie was being held in the next cell for a while but then she was gone. For weeks, I was fed, brought books, even art supplies, Elizabeth. They treated me well for a captive." she told her friend laughing. "But no one to talk to, no freedom. Then they just let me go. Gave me some sleeping pills, told me that if I wanted freedom, I would wake up free. I did, but at the time I couldn't remember my name, where I as from, nothing. I had some money that they had given me and I was helped by this couple that owed a small bar."
"They weren't letting you wait on customers, where they?" teased Elizabeth as she reached out for her friend's hand.
"No, the man had a heart attack and I just knew what to do. I saved his life, then when he came home from the hospital stayed with them to help him. One day there was an article in the paper, Nik had died after arranging Luke's death. I had a headache all night then when I woke up, I remembered everything." she said sadly. "I waited until the man was healthy, then came home."
As they filled her in on what she had missed, Emily could tell something was bothering Elizabeth. Jason took the boys up to bed, while Monica fussed at Edward until he went upstairs to bed, the older man complaining that he was being treated like he was Cam's age.
Michael knew that something was up, so he hugged Emily and said "Is it okay to tell Jax and Mom?"
"How about waiting until morning?" asked Emily. Then turned to Elizabeth and asked "What is it?"
Telling her about sleeping with Nik, was the hardest thing in the world, but she felt like her best friend deserved to know how she had betrayed the best friend's code again. Emily listened, then asked rather coldly "Where was my brother during all this?"
Flinching, Elizabeth bowed her head, not wanting to face her anger, what had happened had been her fault more than anyone else's. When Emily repeated the question, Elizabeth just said "We weren't together."
Emily walked out of the room, up the stairs and saw that Cam and Jake were fast asleep and said to her brother. "Downstairs now."
Once they were in the living room, he glared at his sister when he saw Elizabeth crying and went to comfort his fiancee. "Now once again, where was Jason while this was happening?"
Jason knew he had to tell her. "Jake was kidnapped and I..."
"You walked away, again. You both are idiots, I can guess what happened. You started hanging with the harpies and freaks that thrived in your world, Elizabeth probably let Lucky back in, not wanting to, but not wanting to break her promise about the boys having a dad, she figures she has to end things but how? How close am I?" she growled.
"Spot on." said Elizabeth lifting her head. "I am so sorry."
"You, you have nothing to be sorry about. Elizabeth, you owe no explanations about Nik," said Emily. "I am only sorry I wasn't here to kick the two of you in the rear. So how did this end up working out?"
As they explained the lies, the drugs, Spinelli they realized they had forgotten to tell Emily that Jason was Jason Quartermaine once again. With a half laugh and half sob, Elizabeth did just that.
After more hugs and lots more tears, Emily hugged them both then asked.
"So what happened next? I always thought that Spinelli had his brain screwed in a little to tightly. Did Georgie ever come home?"
"Yes, for a few days. She left Mac a letter promising to visit soon."
"Good, now I want to meet this Jack, he sounds like a great drinking buddy."
Emily smiled at Elizabeth then headed back to bed. Jack had become a good friend, but the woman who was marrying her brother this afternoon, was her truest friend. She had been there for her, while she had grieved for the lost of Nik and Spencer, had been the one to help her adjust to being home.
Even now, Elizabeth, Jason and the boys were staying at the mansion for her sake in spite of buying a new home down the street. Early the next morning ass they waited for Robin, Elizabeth and Emily talked about how Emily was leaving for England to work with Steven at the American Hospital there. "Are you sure you don't mind?"
"No, I mean what is there to mind, I will be staying at a Mayfair Mansion, yes that is such a hardship." she said sighing. "I still can't believe Jack offered that incredible place up and Steven refused."
Once their friends had joined them, they slowly got Elizabeth ready while Jake and Cam were with Jason and his grandfather. Seeing Jack, Patrick Drake and Jax show up, he glared. "What are you three doing here, I thought I told you to stay at least one state away for what happened."
"Hey, how was I to know?" asked Jax. "I had no idea what they were up to." Jack and Patrick had arranged a bachelor party that had resulted in the four of them spending the night in a jail cell until an angry Diane had bailed them out the next morning.
Shaking his head, Jason looked at his nephew who was glaring at the tux hanging on the door. "Do I really have to wear that?"
"Yes, you can blame your mother and pregnancy hormones." said Jason when he saw the dark gray cutaway tux. He had made a mistake the day he had invited AJ's son to be his first usher man. Carly had seen them being measure and had somehow convinced Jason that Elizabeth would love them. When he had asked his fiancee, she had laughed then called Carly reminding her that she had been forbidden to use emotional blackmail or lies to win the bet.
Michael wanted to pout, but he knew that Cam would follow his lead and he didn't want the little boy to be upset on his parents wedding day. Looking around, he tried to find a new topic of discussion and asked Jax about the book Brenda Barrett had written.
Seeing his surprise at the question, Michael nodded towards a pouting Cam. "Well, it is doing well. Your mother even bought a copy."
Brenda had taken the pictures of Maxie and had collaborated with Diane Miller to write a book for teenage girls about how having courage to stand up for yourself was more important than having the latest clothes or the coolest boyfriend. It had been working it's way up the New York Time's best seller list. The only person unhappy with this was Maxie Jones who was serving her probation in Texas under her mother's supervision.
She had been proven to be telling the truth in regards to the ankle bracelet, the camera's in her building had shown Jerry Jacks on her floor carrying the bracelet in his hand. So all she had faced was her probation from before since while what she had helped do to Elizabeth was amoral and ethically wrong, it hadn't been criminally negligent.
When she had heard about Georgie, the blond had settled into a deep funk. And since other than a few post cards, she hadn't heard from her, Maxie believed that she hated her for Spinelli. According to Mac, she was getting mental health help, but Jason still didn't want her around his family.
When Monica came in to fix his tie and tell him how happy she was for him, he hugged her and said "Thank you, for always loving me. Both parts of me."
"I will always love you." she said with a wistful smile. "You dad would be so proud of you today. Lila as well."
Then looking at him in the formal mid-morning tux, she said "AJ on the other hand would be teasing you about this tux. I can't believe you let yourself get conned like that."
"I know, I have been grateful for the memory gaps I still have, but I still should have been able to figure out that she was up to something. Elizabeth just shrugged and said to wear what I want, she didn't care if I came down the aisle in jeans. But since Kate Howard and Brenda had a fit and gave her such a hard time about it, I decided to go with these."
"You do look handsome." she said then looked around for her grandsons and saw them dressed just like their father. "You boys all look so cute."
"We are pretty just for mommy." said Jake with a huge grin while Cam itched his neck where the tie was.
As the couple met in front of the priest, Jeff sighed and said "You are beautiful sweetie." before placing her arm on Jason's.
As the wedding started, several in the audience were reminded of all it had taken to get this particular twosome to this point. Hankies were passed around and even Edward was seen handing his to Tracy. Mac and Alexis were seated in the back, the attorney feeling weird being there considering all her daughter had done to the couple.
When she saw Kristina writing something, she shook her head no at her daughter. She was quite certain that Jason and Elizabeth didn't want to end up as part of her Internet blog. Her daughter had started writing it to deal with her pain and anger over her family issues and Kate Howard had been so impressed with it's following that she often had her write a guest article for her readers about the teen view of various issues.
Michael saw his sister getting in trouble and then Morgan and Molly slipping out of the church. He was too big to follow them without getting noticed, he knew what they were up to it wasn't going to get him in the dog house with their parents but they might get in trouble for slipping out early.
He looked up to see he had been distracted long enough to miss a big part of the ceremony because Jason was slipping Elizabeth's ring on and then she was doing the same with his. When the priest announce that you may kiss the bride, most in the room sighed as he kissed her softly then slowly deepened the kiss.
Robin couldn't help remembering the long road that had led them all here as Patrick and she greeted the couple at the doors of the church. Looking at her husband dressed up as an usher since the best man and his second were too young to be official, she looked around for Michael who had also been part of the service reading Lila's favorite verse on marriage for them as well as seating guests.
She then realized that all the children were missing and that so was Jack. Whatever was going on; she didn't want to know before the bride and groom so she could claim ignorance. "You are glowing." she said to Elizabeth as the bride blushed then said "Hey, I'm the bride, I am supposed to be glowing."
Jason just kept his wife close, loving the sound of that word, 'wife'. Leaning down to kiss her, he said "When do you think we should tell them, they are right, you are glowing."
"Lets wait until we get back from Europe." she said before returning his kiss. "I say we sneak out of the reception and find us a hotel room."
"I have a room in mind." he said with a smile as he recalled the time they had spent at the Metrocourt. When his mind had regained that memory, he had called over and arranged to borrow the same room. He could still remember telling her afterwords about his memory of saying that he was taken at the moment. It had led to another kiss which had led to more and more than likely had led to their baby.
Walking out of the church after all of their guests had left, Elizabeth heard her son's laughter and realized it was coming from above. Seeing all the younger guests and children in the small balcony above, she found herself in awe as they slowly let go of the rose petals that floated down around Jason and her.
The guests all stopped to watch they now understood why Carly had insisted on that particular tux. With the happy couple in a traditional long wedding attire and the sun shining brightly, the light peach petals floating in the light wind it made for an absolutely beautiful picture on a peaceful day.
As they heard the footsteps of the children rushing down the stone steps to hug the bride and groom, Elizabeth saw her friend carrying her son and hugged Jack whispering thank you with tears in her eyes.
With his normal careless grin missing, Jack said "You are so welcome. Uh, you too." he said to Jason before handing Jake to him. He loved to harass Jason about stealing Elizabeth from him, just because it was the blond's wedding day didn't mean he intended to stop When the couple helped their boys into the limo after kissing everyone goodbye, Cam said "Mommy, we were supposed to ride with Grandfather and Emmy."
"We wanted you to ride with us, okay?" she asked kissing his button nose. As Jason and Elizabeth kissed and talked to the boys during their drive to mansion, both were counting the hours until they could be alone. Picking one of the rose petals from Jason's pocket, she said "that was so sweet of them, did you see Michael up there?"
When the traffic from the ongoing summer celebration at the park delayed them, Jason leaned forward and asked the driver to take a short detour then looked at his wife and said "There is someplace I want to go."
When they arrived as close to the overlook as possible, they helped the boys out then holding their hands, Jason led them up to the spot where he had first gotten the courage up to tell Elizabeth what was in his heart before losing her once again. As he watched her playing with the boys, looking incredible in her ivory wedding gown, he couldn't help agreeing with his alter ego about one thing. She certainly was too good for him, but he didn't intent to let her go this time.
Elizabeth saw the far off expression on Jason's face and moved into his arms, "Are you okay?"
"Yes, I was just agreeing with Morgan about something. You are the most beautiful kind, generous, mother in the world." he said leaning down to kiss her. "But you are also the most stubborn, grouchy in the mornings, and annoyingly persistent person and I wouldn't trade that for anyone else."
"Good, because you are now stuck with me, well us." she said touching her stomach. "I love you, Jason Moore Quartermaine."
When she saw the smile, she said "I am glad you put that in there, I just can't help thinking Morgan should be there as well."
"No, I think Lila would understand why I retired that name along with the sorrow and the pain of the past." he said tightening the hug then looking around said "Cam stop climbing up the railing, you are going to get dirty and Aunt Emily will insist on washing you nose again."
With a shudder, the little boy jumped down at the reminder of having his aunt take a tissue and after licking her finger trying to get dirt off of him. He could hear the music getting started from the summer celebration in the park below and saw that his daddy's eyes were gleaming with laughter.
"Mrs. Quartermaine, may I have this dance?" All three of them laughed when Elizabeth looked around in confusion at the name then start laughing in embarrassment as she moved into Jason's arms. Jake and Cam watched as the man who had brought happiness to their mom danced with her then kissed her saying I love you.
"I love you too." she replied.
On a hot July morning; Edward Quartermaine was sitting down on the terrace talking to his Lila's roses. "So, he finally did it. Jason married Elizabeth the day before yesterday, I am sorry love but with the rain I didn't get to tell you until today. They were so beautiful my dear. I also think we are going to be great grandparents again, but they haven't announced it yet."
"He is going to be taking over ELQ permanently when they return in the fall. I was worried I would find it hard to let go, but finally we have an heir who is worthy of taking over. Ned, he didn't want to, I see him now with his family, with Brooklynn singing and Dillon producing the videos, and I know that I pushed too hard.
AJ's son, is turning into a fine young man, now that Sonny is gone. He is working for that rapscallion Jasper Jacks. Unfortunately he takes after Carly when it comes to the cooking. He spent last month training as a sous chef and the real one quit after Michael set off the fire alarm for the fifth time. He was only setting water up to boil." said a chuckling Edward.
"Emily, my dear she is moving to London for a couple of months then coming back here. I wish I knew what was in her heart but I know enough to stay out of it. She will find her way sooner or later, they all do."
"I do have some news I consider good, that young man who hurt Elizabeth and Jason, he committed suicide in the mental ward of his prison. He saw television coverage of the wedding. He left a note and that annoying creature is still blaming Elizabeth for all of it. The only good thing Jerry Jacks ever did was taking out those two. He is dead now too, but as the result of a business deal gone bad."
"Mac says that Maxie will be coming home for a few weeks just before Christmas, Georgie is getting married to another one of those scoundrels with a connection to Jason. Apparently they fell in love while visiting the world, and I had such high hopes she would come home and bring Dillon with her, but if she is happy, I guess I have to let that dream go."
The dark haired doctor had spent many months researching how Courtney Matthews had managed to get pregnant, twice. All she had managed to learn was that neither pregnancy had been accidental and her other good news was why she was rushing over to the Quartermaines with Carly Jacks.
Robin had come to see Monica, knowing she needed to be there when she gave Emily the news, finding the two in the living room, packing up the wedding presents, she asked them to sit for a minute. "I have some news, well actually we have some news." she said looking up to see a heavily pregnant Carly finally arriving.
"Why did you run?" asked the panting woman as she sat down. Then looking at Robin decided that since Courtney had been her friend, this was her responsibility. "We know that Elizabeth told you about Spencer, well we found out that she was his mother biologically, she had what few eggs she was producing harvested."
"I thought that the tests proved differently." she asked while Monica read the test results.
"Turns out, Spencer isn't dead." Robin said gently. "Mom is bringing him here. We may never learn the truth as to how she managed to get pregnant."
Seeing Emily's tears, then her saying "Can I keep him or will Laura fight it?"
"Em, he's going to go to Jax and I, according to Nik's will." said Carly gently.
"Just take good care of him." she said before hugging the blond. "Thank you for telling me."
"You know, you can come over and visit him anytime you want." she told the woman who said sadly that it might not be a good idea to confuse him after all he had gone through.
At Christmas time, Jason and Elizabeth moved into their new home, down the street from his mother's house, the couple were also preparing the nursery for the baby she was carrying while Cam and Jake just wanted a puppy. They had asked if they could send their sister back and get a doggy instead.
Hearing the doorbell ringing as she finished unpacking the last of the diapers, she slowly walked down the stairs to see John Zachara standing there.
Seeing her look of trepidation at letting him in, he just said "Can you please give this to Jason."
"Sure." she said then asked "Johnny, do you have a minute?"
Following her into the house, he sat down on the sofa watching as she eased herself into a chair. She saw his smile at the awkwardness and said "At eight and a half months, moving isn't easy. Now, I know that you helped Jason, when he needed it a few years ago, I just wanted to say thank you."
"You shouldn't be thanking me. If I hadn't been so involved with my sex life, I would have seen that there was something very obviously wrong with his relationship with Sam back then. He went from warning me about the woman to uh... you know."
"I do. I also know you were there helping wrap things up with Spinelli along with Georgie Jones. I am glad she had someone with her, I always liked Georgie."
"I know she wanted to invite you to the wedding, you and Jason, but since Maxie is still so unstable, we only invited her family."
"That is the other reason I asked you in. I know from Lulu back then, you got a bit close to Maxie. I don't mean to be nosy but did you tell Georgie? Because I guarantee Maxie will, I just don't want her to try and ruin things for you." she said gently.
"Yes, I told her about it. How I was realizing that things were wrong with Lulu, then started to flirt with Maxie more out of the need to end things than anything else. I still have no idea why I was sleeping with a woman old enough to be my mother. While we have been traveling, I spent some time talking to a doctor friend of her mothers."
"Kevin Collins?" she asked,
"No, it was while we were in Africa, a Tom Hardy." he said then saw her face brighten.
"How is my uncle? He left town years ago, Simone, their son and he fled his in laws who were upset about their marriage."
"I can only say he was helping rape victims in the Sudan. I don't know anything about his personal life." he said. "Your uncle, the way he helps those woman, girls really. I don't know that I could listen to those stories day in and day out and still be sane. It puts my petty problems in prospective."
As they were saying goodbye, Georgie rang him up and he smiled then handed the phone to Elizabeth. "I know that it is last minute and that you're pregnant but can you come to the party tonight."
"Georgie, what about Maxie?" Elizabeth didn't want the blond near her this late in her pregnancy.
"She was pissed off when her little comments about her supposed past with Johnny didn't bother me. I need to talk to you about my sister, before we leave and with the wedding being tomorrow, I only have tonight."
"Let me talk to Jason." Elizabeth called him and gave him the message from Johnny.
Looking at the reports on his desk, he said "I was planning on being home by five anyhow. So yes, but we have to find a babysitter. Mom was going to the party."
"Not a problem." she said confidently then called Jack who said he would be glad to babysit. His year was almost up and he was returning to England in less than a week and was going to miss his family but his father had had yet another heart attack so he had no choice but to return to his family estate.
When the couple arrived at the Metrocourt, Elizabeth saw Robin hugging Georgie, she was glad otherwise she wouldn't have recognized the young woman. She looked self assured and very well dressed in a Dolce and Gabbana cocktail number.
"Thanks for coming." She said hugging the older woman. As Jason greeted the two of them, she drew Robin, Patrick and the new couple off to a lounge along with Johnny. "Can someone explain my sister to me?"
As they sat down, Robin tried but realized that she had missed a lot, Jason filled in the relationship with Spinelli as he knew it and Elizabeth could only tell her about the attacks from Sam and her. With a sigh, Georgie said. "Mom called me when we told her that we were getting married here in town, she had Kevin Collins run some tests on Maxie."
Robin saw the look on Georgie's face and said "What is it?"
"Maxie is suffering from acute poisoning from the combination of a few drugs. Jason." she started to speak feeling regret at what she had to tell him but Johnny stepped in.
"From the looks of things, the drugs that were brought here from Mexico during that mess combined with the Viagra and her anti-rejection drugs, have created quite a little mess."
"Why would Maxie take Viagra." asked Patrick.
"She was drinking the OJ meant for Jason, since the drug was for erectile dysfunction she had no idea it could do anything to her. The problem is that there is only one way to help her. That is to take her off all of the drugs, including the ones keeping her alive and from rejecting the heart." said Georgie wiping the tears away to continue. "They are creating a nasty little cocktail in her brain. Added to the problems she already had with self-esteem and not getting any help after what Kyle did to her, she is really screwed up."
Georgie, saw the look on Elizabeth's face and said "Don't blame yourself, Maxie is to blame and so is Spinelli. I just wanted to give you a warning. She verbally attacked me this morning when she saw me for the first time. She kept insisting that I wasn't the real Georgie that her sister wouldn't abandon her. Then went on about knowing Johnny and saying she could take him away anytime she wanted. I told her to bring it on that I wasn't worried."
Elizabeth flinched remembering making a similar mistake with Sam. "She might take that as a challenge."
"We are leaving after the wedding and I am more worried about how she reacts to finding Spinelli is dead. Dad never told Mom so Maxie doesn't know that he is dead."
"We need to head back to the party, but I just wanted to give you a warning." said Georgie hugging them then asking about Cam. Hearing how he was loving school and wanting a dog instead of a sister, had the younger girl laughing as they walked back to the room.
Lulu grimaced from where she was standing next to Carly, she had run out of her trust fund earlier that month and was staying with Carly and Jax while she figured out what to do next. They had insisted she come to this party, saying that there was something she needed to see there.
Seeing Johnny talking to Jason she went to greet her ex-boyfriend wondering if they were playing matchmaker. As she got closer she saw Elizabeth was pregnant and talking to Robin and another girl while Patrick Drake returned with drinks for the women.
"Hello, Johnny, do you have a minute?" she purred.
Looking up in surprise, he looked at his fiancee who just shrugged slightly amused. Dillon had told her that Lulu had dropped out of school that summer then spent the money her brother had left her shopping the whole world over then she had come to LA wanting to be an actress. He had suggested after she failed yet another audition that she come home for the holidays, hoping something sparkly would distract the blond.
She only hoped that Lulu got the point that it wouldn't be Johnny.
"Lulu, what can I do for you?" he asked leaning against a column.
"I was thinking that since I am here, and you are here that it is fate. We let each other go and we came back to one another." she said moving in closer.
"Uh, Lulu this is my engagement party/rehearsal dinner, I am getting married tomorrow." he said embarrassed on her behalf.
"WHAT!" she said furious with herself for making a play for him.
"Yes, I gather no one has been keeping you up to date. Georgie Jones and I are getting married tomorrow." he said. "We have been seeing each other for almost a year now."
"She's dead." said the blond. "How can you be marrying a dead girl and everyone knows she was in love with Spinelli and Dillon before she died. 'Sides, she hates the mob, why would she marry you?"
"Johnny isn't in the mob, not any longer and I am very much alive." the brunette said walking into the alcove. "Lulu, I know about you going through you money, Dillon told me."
"Well he never told me about you." said the blond furious as she stomped away angry with herself. Walking over to Michael she started to complain and was even more furious with his suggestion that she work for Jax.
Just as she was getting ready to storm out, she saw Elizabeth grip Jason's arm then say something that had the man look like he was ready to panic. Robin and Patrick quickly got the couple of there and they were soon on their way to GH.
Lulu followed, she had an idea of how to get some money but she had to wait and talk to Elizabeth after she had the baby. Sitting in the waiting room, she saw several of the party guests show up and smirked at the idea of the dinner being ruined only to overhear Mac telling Monica and Audrey that he saw Johnny and Georgie slipping up to their hotel suite and that neither one looked to aware of what was going on around them.
"Maybe you will get to be a grandfather soon." teased the doctor only for Mac to say hold that thought.
In the delivery room, Jason was grateful for his past medical knowledge as Elizabeth gripped his hand through yet another contraction. When Kelly Lee showed up along with Jack, he turned white since the other man specialized in troubled pregnancies only for the man to say. "I am here strictly because Kelly had a few drinks early."
Thanking her friend for being careful, Jason saw Kelly step back and let Jack take over. As the baby slowly came into the world, Jason moved down to catch the baby like the Brit suggested while Kelly went to hold Elizabeth's hand.
Seeing the huge amount of hair on the baby's head, he looked up and said "Our daughter is going to look like her mother."
Once the head was out and the shoulders slowly edged out, Jason saw the rest of his daughter come into the world very quickly. While Jack cut the cord, Jason wrapped the blanket around the bloody crying baby girl not wanting to let her go.
Carrying her to her mother, he smiled when Elizabeth kissed their little girl before he handed her to the nurse who was going to clean her up and weigh and measure her. After sewing up the small tear, Jack and Kelly quickly checked out Elizabeth's vitals and were leaving the room while the nurse handed the now clean little girl back to the happy parents. "Jack, let my family know, please?"
Nodding, Jack stopped to give the families the good new then told Cam and Jake that Ivy Noel was doing fine.
"Ivy?" asked Monica wondering where the name had come from before escorting the two boys to their parents. Jack who was with her, replied "Something about Christmas."
They stood there watching as Jason and Elizabeth introduced the boys to their little sister. While Elizabeth was holding Ivy, Jake was sitting on the bed and Cam was being held up by Jason. Monica wiped a tear before walking off to give the family some privacy and laughed at the crowd gathered in the lobby. "Ivy Noel, six pounds nine ounces, she was small, nineteen inches. Full head of hair."
As they soon dispersed, Audrey could only smile while wiping the tears in her eyes knowing that her granddaughter had finally found the happiness that she had looked for for so long.
The End.
