The move was fairly easy after the fight. Liz was still a bit tight lipped about the whole thing, but she was okay…for the most part. Jason had been through training for the last three weeks. Jack commented on how scary Jason really was when it came to begin a fighter.
-Pop he was the top enforcer in the world.-
-I get that but damn girl. How did you get involved with him.-
-Lucky died.-
Jack looked at his daughter.
-What's eating you kid; Jason's got that look on his face.-
-I think he's mad about me and Carly.-
-He wouldn't let us stop the fight.-
-Maybe but it didn't mean I had to stoop to her level. I never have before.-
-So what everybody is entitled to blow up.-
-I don't.-
-Yes baby you do if you don't you'd be dead.-
Liz took it in.
-Its also your mother.-
-No its not. - Liz said a little too quickly.
-Jason and I do actually talk ya know.-
-Maybe it is. She's been calling and calling when she could give a shit before. And I know it has nothing to do with me.-
-What does that mean she's your mother.-
-Grams is my mother…that woman was a stylish carrying case.-
-Ouch. You need to deal with this or your no good to me or Jason on his first mission.-
-Second. - Liz said off handedly.
-First. - Jack stated.
-Second.-
-Who's on third? First! - Said rolling his eyes.
-Second. - Liz gritted out.
-We can't count that one and you know it.-
-But!-
-No buts kid, we do and they'll ask questions they're already over looking the mob enforcer thing.-
-Okay.-
-Call your mother.-
-Fuck that!-
-You won't feel better if you don't say what you have to say Kid. You know it and I know it.
Liz sighed watching her father walk away. The funniest site ever was seeing Jason Morgan in uniform or BDU's but there he was watching her. Liz sighed he'd stopped talking to her yesterday.
-As your father likes to say until you pull your head out of your ass your not worth talking to.-
When she got home from a mission he'd locked her out of the bedroom she had to sleep in the quest room. Jason also believed that confronting her mother would pull her out of as he liked to call it the bitch phase she was in. Liz sat at her desk in her office, she was letting her mother get the better of her again. She picked up her phone and dialed her mother's number.
-Well it took you long enough to call me. I was starting to wonder if I need to make a surprise visit.-
Liz wanted to hang up.
-What do you want mother?-
-To talk about what's happened Elizabeth what else.-
-Fine say your piece I'm busy.-
-Well excuse me you can't show your family any common curtsy.-
-What is with you?- Liz cried.
-Excuse me.-
-You act like your shit don't stink and I have to bow and scrape to appease you. I think what pisses you off the most is that my life is on track and I have everything you want. You brought this on yourself mother. You fucked Jack and got me, you lied to daddy. So why the fuck is that I get the cold shoulder and nasty attitude what did me and my son do to you?-
-Elizabeth…I…-
-I'm not done. You're one miserable unhappy woman and I have no time nor do I have patients for your bullshit. Stop calling me mother, and don't call Jack he's not interested in your bullshit either. When you're ready to apologies for being a shitty mother let me know until then. I don't have anything to prove to you.-
She slammed the phone down.
Jason got the feeling she talked to her mother she was less in her bitch phase and more just out and out mad. He returned her bedroom privileges more out of fear then anything else. He stood by the answering Machine and waited for her to come home.
-What?-
Jason pressed play.
-Elizabeth it's your mother, you know I try I do but you don't give an inch. I just think that you can do so much better and you could be just as good as you brother and sister if you tried. As for my relationship with Jack I don't think you should have an opinion on that at all. It's none of your concern. As for your son he seems like a nice little boy but I wouldn't know because you never brought him for us to see. I don't like being talked to in that manner young lady and I really wish for once in your life you would hear me out.-
Liz looked at Jason and he swallowed he wondered if he should postpone his fist mission just in case Liz tried to kill her mother. Then again he couldn't be forced to testify if he wasn't there. So Liz kissed Jason good bye as he went off with SG10. She packs up CJ and got on a plane for New York. Caroline was a bit surprise to see her daughter at the door.
-Mother.-
-Lizzie it that you!-
-Yes Daddy it is.-
-Wow and this must be C.J.-
-Hi.-
-I'm your grandpa Jeff.-
-My grandpa is Jack.-
-C.J don't be rude.-
-C.J. Short for something?-
-Charles Jackson O'Neil.- He son said proudly.
Jeff looked at him and then his mother he stepped away from the door as Liz pushed C.J inside and they took off there coats.
-Sarah's not telling me what's going on with her marriage.-
-Not surprised she's a very private person.-
-Other then she and Lucky are getting a devoice.-
-Hmm.- Her father looked at her.
-Lizzie, your mother seems to think you and Lucky are getting back together. - It was the tone in her father's voice that annoyed Liz the most.
-Like I told Sarah I have the man I love and I mean to keep him.-
-Well that's vague Lizzie that could be anybody. - Her mother said.
-Okay I've been sleeping with Jason Morgan for the last six months. I been in love with him for the last seven years.-
-But I thought Lucky was the love of your life. - Her mother said.
-Make up your mind mother Jason or Lucky.-
-I'm just saying that you seemed confused dear.-
Liz looked at her father he watched her grow angrier and angrier by the minute.
-Caroline.-
-What?- She looked at her husband.
-Maybe we should talk about something else.-
-If we can talk about family businesses then we're not a family.-
Jeff Webber looks between the two women.
-You know what she's right. So let talk about family Caroline.-
-What Jeff, what? - The woman said shocked.
-Let's talk about you cheating on me with Jack O'Neil.-
-I think that it's inappropriate.-
-Funny how my personal business is open season but yours isn't.-
-Lizzie you shut us out.-
-I shut you out! That bullshit and you know it. You didn't want anything to do with me. Because I wasn't like Steven or Sarah. I didn't fit the perfect Webber mold so don't give me anymore of your bull mother. What do you want from me really? What about you Daddy, you never bothered with me either and now you want to be apart of my life.-
-Lizzie the older people get the more they realize their mistakes with themselves and there children.-
-Yes but their YOUR mistakes not mine. So why am I being treated like a fuck up. You hurt mom she hurts you and I get the ass end of the deal, lets not talk about our indiscretions, lets pretend like Lizzie doesn't count and maybe it will go away. I do go away and neither one of you make an effort to call me, see how I'm doing. Even after I got rapped, what are you going to say that was my fault to? - Liz yelled.
Both her parents looked a cross between angry and sad.
-We made mistakes Lizzie. - Her mother said in a harsh whisper.
-Is that your version of lets pretend it didn't happen and let's be family now. All my life I felt like I wasn't part of this family. What do you want from me? - She snapped.
-A chance you gave it to Jack, it's not far. - Her mother cried.
-Fair, you two had years, years for a second chance and now it so important. Why because I actually have a parent that loves me. That gives a shit! God what did I come here for? - She grabbed her purse.
-Lizzie wait, please.- Jeff said softly. She looked at the man her once considered her father.
Liz sat down hoping that Jason's mission is going better then this. She couldn't understand how both her father and Jason thought that she'd feel better after this.
