Chapter 33

"Any pain?"

"No" Elizabeth answered.

Kelly sat on her stool and rolled across the floor so she was seated between Elizabeth's legs that were propped up in stirrups. "Discomfort? Nausea? Fever? Painful urination?"

"No, no, no and no."

"Pain during sex?" Kelly asked, looking around Elizabeth's legs to gauge her reaction.

"Kelly!"

Kelly reached over and grabbed Elizabeth's chart. She cleared her throat and waved it in the air, "It's a standard question I ask."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes, "No, no pain."

"Good." Kelly said with a smile and pushed up Elizabeth's gown. "What the…"

Elizabeth stiffened, "Kelly, what's wrong?"

"Are, are these… hickeys?"

Elizabeth's face turned a dark shade of crimson, "Shit…"

Kelly's mouth dropped, "Mrs. Morgan, you've been a baaaad girl."

"That's what my husband said." Elizabeth mumbled under her breath and cursed herself for saying it loud enough for Kelly to hear it.

"Damn girl… now that is what I need. Mmm, mmm, mmm!" Kelly joked.

"Can we just finish so I'm not late. Epiphany is not happy with my being late so much."

"Oh, having trouble getting out of bed in the morning?"

"Kelly!" Elizabeth shrieked and cupped her hands over her face.

A couple hours later, Elizabeth had forgotten about the torture in Dr. Kelly Lee's office. She had teased and taunted Elizabeth about her sex life but mainly because she was jealous and trying to stay on the wagon for her sex addiction.

"Hey sister-in-law." Emily cheerfully greeted as she approached the nurses desk.

Elizabeth smiled, "Hey, I didn't know you were on shift today."

Emily rolled her eyes, "My mom is doing a surgery that she wanted me to scrub in for. I guess its good that she wants me to get a lot of experience."

"Yea, it is."

"So how is married life treating you, even more, how is Jason treating you?"

"Everything is great." Elizabeth answered, not being able to hide her smile.

"Look at you, all happy. I haven't seen you like this in a long time."

Elizabeth nodded, "I really am."

"I'm still waiting for my invite to dinner."

"Yea, we can't tonight but are you available tomorrow?"

Emily nodded her head, "Tomorrow is good. What are you doing tonight?"

"Jason is taking me out." Elizabeth said, holding back her smile but the corner of her lip curved up.

"Date night, wow, you really are a cheesy married couple, its sickening." Emily teased. "I have to go and help prep for the surgery but we'll finish our conversation later. I do have a question though… what is with the turtleneck?"

Elizabeth froze, "What do you mean?"

"I have never seen you wear a turtleneck, it's just different."

Kelly just happened to be approaching the nurses desk, "That's because she is married to Dracula now."

Elizabeth's jaw dropped, "What happened to doctor patient confidentiality."

Kelly smiled deviously, "I was just discussing one of my patients with a colleague… You just happen to be the patient."

"I don't want to know." Emily said rolling her eyes. "She is married to my brother and that is something I don't want to picture."

"Oh but I do." Kelly smirked.

Jason parked at the far end of the parking lot. This was completely out of character for him. He felt like he was stalking his wife. Ordinarily he did not go visit the women in his life at work for no reason but he was doing it now. He wanted to see her and it was as simple as that.

Someone caught his attention out of the corner of his eye. He was masked from the entrance and street by a line of SUVs and other medical vehicles so he was not seen but he definitely saw something interesting. Sam had exited the main entrance of the hospital and instead of turning toward the parking lot, she climbed into a waiting vehicle. It was a late model black sedan with tinted windows. It was a car he'd seen before and had a pretty good hunch who it was. He squinted to get a good look at the license plate and watched the car pull away.

He would check the plates but he was already pretty sure who's vehicle she was getting in. He only had one question, what did Alcazar want with Sam and what were they up to?

After calling Stan to run the plates on the car, he continued his trip to visit his wife but was still distressed about what they were up to.

The elevator doors opened and he saw his Elizabeth standing there talking to her ob/gyn. Jason remembered that she had an appointment that afternoon and hoped everything went good. He was sure it did when the petite doctor looked over her shoulders at Jason and her eyes appeared to be undressing him,which made him completely uncomfortable.

Elizabeth tapped her pen on the desk and blushed which Jason found completely sexy.

"Hey, I was on this side of town and thought I'd stop by." He said with a grin, knowing that sounded completely ridiculous since the coffeehouse was only a few blocks away.

"I'm glad you did… but I already took my break so I can't…"

Jason nodded, "I know, it's ok."

"Well, I'll give you two some privacy, it was good to see you Dracula." Kelly giggled then looked at Elizabeth and nodded, "Mrs. Dracula, I'll see you later."

They stood there stunned as Kelly walked away.

"What was that?"

Elizabeth closed her eyes and shook her head, "One word… payback."

Jason wiped his hand across his forehead, "Oh."

"So I guess we are even now because she is far worse then Sonny or Carly ever could be, she is raunchy, but in a funny way... I guess."

"Uh, not to change the subject but have you seen Sam at all today?"

Elizabeth shook her head, "No, she has been working down on three. Apparently one of the orderlies saw our little argument the other day and went to Mrs. Sneed. I think Sam got in trouble, not sure. Why?"

"Nothing to worry about, but I'll let you know." Jason said distantly but quickly cleared his throat and leaned forward on the counter. "So are we still on for tonight?"

"Yea, the babysitter will be there at eight, is that ok? She has class tonight and doesn't get done until seven, I felt bad asking her to rush over."

"Eight is fine." He said. His eyes had a sparkle when he looked at her and it made her heart flutter.

They stood there in their gooey gaze for a few minutes before Monica came walking around the corner. Elizabeth noticed his body instantly stiffen and he stood straight up. He greeted Monica with a cordial "hello" then turned back to Elizabeth. "I'll see you later?"

Elizabeth smiled, "You will."

"Hello Jason." Monica politely greeted Jason then turned to Elizabeth. "Have you seen Emily, she was supposed to…"

"Yep, she was just here a few minutes ago and went looking for you."

With everything that had been going on recently, they hadn't discussed Monica and Alan. He truly hadn't given the idea much thought but had decided it was something that they could discuss. Elizabeth had made it clear that she was open to the possibility of Monica and Alan being a part of their children's lives. It was something that he was not sure about but maybe in time he could accept it. That would be something he'd have to work out. Jason nodded his goodbye to Monica and left.
