Right Kind Of Wrong Chapter 34, a general hospital fanfic

Chapter Thirty-Four

Liz and Jason rushed up to the hotel, each carrying a child. Cameron was turning into quite the daddy's boy, but that didn't bother Elizabeth, especially after all the time he had missed. "You ready for this?" Liz asked with a smile.

"I have been ready for this for years. Well more so for our wedding day, but I am sure tonight will be a night we won't soon forget." Jason said, placing his free arm around her waist.

Max opened the door to the restaurant, a cacophony of noise greeted the couple as they saw how beautifully the place had been decorated.

Friends and family walked up to the couple, offering their congratulations and best wishes.

Jason was slightly unnerved, he didn't care for large gatherings, after all, why would he, he was an enforcer. His job was to watch and act, the more people he had to observe the bigger the chance at something going wrong. Nevertheless, it wasn't like he was expecting something bad to happen, it was just in his nature to be prepared for all contingencies.

Isabella took the boys over to where Michael and Morgan were sitting, Cameron was very excited to see his new friend, so while the adults mingled the children played. A smart move on Carly's behalf to have a table set aside for the kids, with games and coloring books and other objects kids liked.

Once everyone had said hello to the couple, people started to head to their designated seats. Neither Jason nor Liz knew what to expect, Carly had divulged very little about the evenings festivities.

Liz and Jason were seated at the head table, beside them were Sonny, Emily, Nikolas. Seeing as how Sonny's date was not scheduled to be in town until the wedding, he was flying solo.

Carly took the moment of semi-silence to grab the microphone she had had rigged up for tonight's special event. She waited till everyone was looking at her, before she began. Secretly enjoying being the center of attention, if for only a few moments.

"I would like to thank all of you for coming tonight. It is a pleasure to see everyone joining together to celebrate the engagement of this happy couple. First off I would like to take this moment and wish Jason and Elizabeth a happy life, no two people deserve it more. You can hold the eye rolls, I know I was never a fan of them before, but how can you disregard what is so plain to see. Beyond reason, beyond rational thought and beyond trials and tribulations, these two have found within each other, a love that has the strength and determination to withstand all outside forces." Carly said, taking a sip of her champagne, and then continued.

"It is a pleasure to see my best friend finally taking a chance, and for finally seeing who is heart belongs, to you Jason my dear friend, and to you Elizabeth, may you find happiness wherever you are, and may your love be a beacon in dark times. Raise your glasses and toast to longevity of love, life and happiness."

Glasses were raised and clinked together, "Cheers" bounced back at the ensemble.

Carly took a little satisfaction in making Liz cry, "Oh yeah, I still have it." She thought to herself as she took her seat.

Liz took a deep breath, knowing it was going to be up to her to make a speech. She looked down startled when Jason's hand found hers, offering her the strength to do what she needed to.

Slowly she stood, and before she even had a chance to clear her throat, a waiter was walking quickly over with the microphone. "Jason and I would like to thank you all for coming, it is a pleasure to see you all here. I had hoped for this day for many years, I never imagined it like this though. Carly you have outdone yourself and for that I owe you thanks, you have made this engagement party something that both Jason and I shall reflect upon with warm thoughts, for years."

Liz glanced quickly at Jason searching his eyes for approval, with a slight nod of his head, he too stood, wrapping his arm around her waist. Liz handed him the microphone. She would have done this for him, but it looked like it was something he wanted to share, she couldn't blame him.

"Elizabeth and I have some unexpected but very welcome news, we had planned on waiting, to tell all of you, but on this joyous occasion, it would seem this news would be perfect. While Liz and I are the proud parents of two beautiful boys, it was something of a shock when we learned that I am Cameron's biological father. So not only is Cameron my son, soon in name but by gene's as well. I also have it on good authority that sooner rather than later, I hope, I will be getting a daughter." Jason said with a lopsided grin. Shocked that he had managed to say so much.

Laughter rang throughout the room, while each person secretly wondered if Liz was pregnant again.

Liz looked at him in awe, shocked herself that he had articulated himself so well, then took the mike so she could say a few last things before supper was served. "I think my soon-to-be husbands hopes are showing, and while I would love to give him a daughter, I think he can wait till after the wedding. Anyway, we can't explain how grateful we are for your presence here this evening, once again we thank you for coming, now enough chatter, time to eat." Liz said as took her seat.

Jason leaned close and pressed a sweet kiss to her lips, moving his mouth towards her ear he whispered, "You could be carrying out daughter right now you know."

Liz placed her lips near to his ear and whispered, "I just gave birth to your son, not that long ago, let's not get your hopes up, just yet." Liz smiled then turned back to their guests.

Supper was served and idle chatter ensued. It looked to everyone present that the engagement party was being enjoyed by all, surprisingly heretofore nothing tragic had happened. Normally in Port Charles that was an oddity.

The meal was delectable. Rotisserie chicken infused with rosemary, served on a bed of wild rice, with miniature vegetable's in a lemon butter. The desserts were positively scrumptious, in Elizabeth's opinion they were the best part of the meal, of course she was addicted to all thing sweet.

Before anyone could begin to move around, Carly took the mike again. "I hope everyone is enjoying themselves. We are going to try something a little different this evening. For those of you who would like to share a little memory you have of the happy couple the mike will be passed around, or if you prefer you can just offer a little tidbit of wisdom, whatever you like, Emily, we will start with you."

The microphone was passed throughout the room, friends and family sharing memories of the couple and offering bits of wisdom on prolonging a marriage, although Jason and Liz would probably not listen to most, considering how many people in Port Charles had been married and divorced numerous times. There marriage, no matter the difficulties was going to last, you could see the determination in their eyes.

Laughs continued to ring throughout the room, for each person who spoke had a different memory of the couple, some of them touching, other funny and some sad. Finally the last person had spoken and that was Sonny, "Jason, Elizabeth, I have seen the two of you dance around one another for almost 8 years, you have saved each other more than once. You have lost your way, only to have the other find the path that draws you together again. You share a family and love, it is beyond obvious that you have found your souls mate, I as I am sure the rest of us are, proud to be able to make this journey with you."

Once again tears glimmered in Liz's eyes, but this time they were mirrored in Jason's as well. Jason stood, embracing his best friend, knowing there was never going to be another person in his life, like Sonny Corinthos.

Before Sonny placed the mike down he said, "Now it would be our pleasure if you would share the first dance of the evening."

Jason surprisingly didn't hesitate, he took Liz's hand and led her to the center of the room. As soon as they reached the middle of the room, the music began, a favorite of Liz's, one that she had listened to many times while thinking of Jason, it always reminded her of his stoic silent nature and his abiding concern.

When you say nothing at all, by Alison Krauss

Its amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes sayin you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old Mr. Webster could never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

As they danced it felt like they were transported to a secluded room, where only they existed. Jason's lips found hers, and with a gentle probing of his tongue, she opened her mouth to his. The correct dance posture was lost when there hands moved to each other's faces, lost in the kiss, they forgot they were with hundreds of other people, for that moment, it was just them and the passion and love they felt for one another.

When the song ended and they still hadn't pulled apart, Sonny cleared his throat then spoke into the mike. "Well, as you can see, they won't have a problem with maintaining the fire on their honeymoon."

A ripple of laughter slowly brought Jason and Elizabeth back to the moment, a blush creeping in to color her cheeks. Surprisingly Jason didn't even flinch, he put his hand back in it's right position and claimed her other hand with his.

Liz had though one dance would be enough for Jason before he pleaded exhaustion or something, but it never happened, they danced the night away. Stopping only a few times to say goodbye to the children and then to some guests.

Jason danced with Carly and Bobbi, Alexis and Monica, I believe he even danced with a few others, it is hard to recall because he was being whisked away, I too was dancing with someone else. But truly the happiest moment of all was being in Jason's arms, swaying to the sound of music, with no worries or concerns, nothing mattered outside that room, tonight it was all about them.

Finally as the last guest left, Jax, Carly, Sonny, Jason and Liz made their way home. It was surprising to see how well Sonny had acclimated himself with Carly's vows to another man. He had fought it at first, but now he truly seemed happy for her, and if it was any indication of his moving on, the wedding would be a telltale sign. Thank you's and hugs were distributed as the group of five moved off to their own vehicles. Johnny and Max waited for the group by their cars, wanting to make sure nothing bad happened now that the night was drawing to a close.

"I can't believe it Jase, the evening was perfect and not a single thing went wrong. Just so you know, I love you so very much." Liz said a smile permanently etched upon her face this night.

"Carly did good, I will have to give her credit. I love you too, thank you for everything you have given me, you have changed my life, you are the bright light that has banished the darkness from my mind and heart, thank you." Jason said, a lone tear trailing down his cheek.

"Yes Carly did great. I wonder how she knew about that song though, that is kinda creepy." Liz replied, honestly not thinks or caring at the moment how she knew, she was just anxious to get home so they could pick up where they were, before being interrupted.

Jason saw the sparkle in her eyes and knew this night was not going to end anytime soon, his little vixen of a fiancé had something planned, he only wished he knew what. He pushed that thought from his mind, he didn't really care, so long as he could spend some well deserved alone time with her, because he to wanted to pick up, where they had left off.
