Feedback would be greatly appreciated, I thank you in advance. I know, another short chapter, but I promise the next few will be longer. (As for me being mad about a certain reply, I am not. You have nothing to say sorry about. I am happy you are enjoying the story and only hope I can keep writing something that you will continue to enjoy. )
Chapter Seventy-Seven
Elizabeth was trying very hard not to laugh, but the pure look of terror on Jason's face was priceless. Finally, unable to hold it in any longer. Elizabeth laughed, laughed until her belly hurt and her eyes were leaking tears.
"I don't see what is so funny Mrs. Morgan. This is well, I can't think of any words right now, but… You know what I mean." Jason said.
"Relax babe, but I think it is time for us to get going, we have phone calls to make and whatnot." Elizabeth said, slipping from the examination table.
"How is it, that you are so calm. You are acting like this is an everyday occurrence or something, not life altering. Why are you not worried?" Jason asked, honestly perplexed by her carefree nature, concerning such a matter.
"I just am, that's all, now Mr. Morgan can we go home?" Elizabeth asked, stifling her own yawn.
As they made their way back into the main room, a sight was to be seen. Elizabeth let loose another bark of laughter as Jason's legs began to grow weak again.
Instead of Jason comforting and reassuring Elizabeth, Elizabeth was doing it for him. She carefully led him to the couch, where he collapsed with a sigh.
"Come on, what going on, what's wrong with Jason?" Emily asked, never before having seen her brother in such a condition, and that was saying a lot, considering how much he had gone through his entire life.
"Yes, please tell, did Jason get his wish, is he having a baby girl?" Carly asked.
Elizabeth only smiled, she loved Jason with everything in her, but this was his news to tell, besides it was his fault she was in this condition to begin with, so he was completely on his own. She would hold his hand for support, but really, she couldn't wait to hear what everyone had to say.
"Okay Jason, enough playing around, we didn't all come down here for the good of our health, inquiring minds want to know, so spill it already, you have the tension, now give us the news." Sonny said, unable to keep his own curiosity under control.
Jason looked around at the large group that had gathered around them, each looking at his expectantly, almost as if he held the secrets to everlasting life.
He cleared his throat, tried to speak and nothing so much as a croak escaped his lips. Knowing his voice was betraying him at the moment, he carefully held the eyes of all those watching, waiting to make sure he had everyone's attention. At this very moment, he felt as though his life was in for major changes.
Slowly he lifted his hand, as if motioning for them to be silent, the slowly his fingers began to raise, one after another. With three fingers raised, he stopped, his eyes glistening unshed tears. He cleared his voice again, because no one had seemed to clue in.
"Girls." He squeaked, and just as everyone started cheering, he croaked out, "Th-Three girls!"
Silence had never been so pure or so instantaneous. It was like all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room, leaving only a stunned and baffled group of friends looking on.
Trust Carly to be the first to say anything. "Oh… My… God!!!" For once it looked like she was speechless, she had managed three small words but came up with nothing else.
Sonny looked at Jason, his own shock slowly taking a back seat to his own curiosity. "Jason are you trying to tell us, all of us, that you little itty bitty wife is pregnant with three girls!"
Elizabeth could handle the curious looks no longer, so she spoke.
"No Sonny, everyone, what my husband was trying to tell you is quite simple, the louse knocked me up good, not exactly sure how it happened, but I am pregnant, three girls, one boy, all healthy. Let's just say, he sure knows how to take things to the extreme. I am not going to be the size of a house, I am going to look like the entire island of Wyndemere, house included." Elizabeth said, but burst out laughing, it was all just too much, it was like someone's idea of a bad joke.
That wasn't to say she wasn't happy, she was, ecstatic even, but talk about taking it to the excessive. Jason had better plan on finding someone else to run to coffee business, his days were going to be very, very full.
Emily and Robin joined in her laughter, but the men who were expecting all looked terrified and downright thankful.
Jason finally found his feet, and while his mind still hadn't completely caught up with him, he was able to grasp a little more. The smile that overtook him was beautiful, it was a smile that looked like it was going to be forever etched there.
As soon as Jason stood beside Elizabeth, Sonny grabbed Jason tightly and hugged him, whispering in his ear, "Man, you know your life just ended right. Poor Elizabeth, you better be prepared for constant pampering, she's going to need it."
Jason couldn't help it, the fear was wearing off, now pride and awe took precedence over his face, shock still held a little place, but amazement was most prominent.
"Everyone, as much as I would love to stand around and chat, I think it is about time I take my wife home, considering." Jason said, a smile threatening to break his face, for it was so large.
"Come on Jason, we want more! We want pictures, no wait, we demand pictures!" Carly said, hoping her act would get her, her own way.
"Elizabeth and I would like a few days to settle into this news, once we do, we guarantee a party. I'll even offer Sonny's cooking. But right now, I would like to get home and spend sometime with my very, very pregnant wife." Jason said, threading her arm through his.
"What you mean to say is, you want to go home a get lucky. Which if you keep this up, might be the only safe sex you will ever get to have." Jax said with a laugh.
Elizabeth merely rolled her eyes, "That's what got us in this predicament to begin with, do you not recall?"
"Oh please, we are all basking in the joys of pregnancy hormones, at least those that make our wives so darn insatiable. We know what you women want." Jax said, quickly trying to dodge the fist of his pregnant wife.
"You guys can argue it out, we will see you in a couple days, we need some alone time." With that Jason led Elizabeth to the elevator. Just as it opened and they stepped in, Sonny offered one final piece of advice, however unwarranted or wanted.
"Remember Jason, condoms. You can guy them anywhere, start buying them now and perhaps by the time the babies arrive, you will have enough to get you through a couple weeks."
Laughter followed them, until it was cut off by the closing of the doors.
"All teasing aside, are you truly happy about this, because this was not something that we were expecting?" Elizabeth asked, worried not only for her and the children, but for Jason as well. He was getting one heck of a large family in on sitting, it had to bother him somewhat.
"Actually, I think it is kind of interesting. And while it will be a lot of work, it also seems like this is the easiest way to do it, to some degree, until of course they are teenagers, then we are moving to a deserted island with no one but us." Jason said, hoping to alleviate some of Elizabeth's fears. "Did I mention they will never date, ever. Men are creeps and animals.
Elizabeth couldn't help but laugh. Jason was going to be one protective papa, just wait till he was so whipped by three daughters, he won't know which way to turn. Oh yes, this was going to be interesting, to say the very least.
