Chapter 30 - Hormones

Two Months Later

Jason walked into Greystone and sunk onto the couch. Sonny and Carly looked at each other and grinned.

"You look a little tired," Sonny said. "What's going on?"

He knew exactly what was going on but he couldn't help but tease.

Carly grinned. "Can you even speak?"

Jason glared at them. "Just let me sleep for a little bit," he said.

Carly clucked with her tongue. "I really never thought that I'd see the day when a 5'2 woman got the best of Jason Morgan."

Jason half opened his eyes and looked over at her giving her a warning glare which just made Carly laugh.

"Maybe you should have Kelly prescribe you some Viagra," she quipped.

"I don't need Viagra Carly," he muttered.

Sonny shook his head.

"You need something. She's gonna wear you out," Carly said grinning.

Jason rolled his eyes and shut them again. "Just two hours."

"Where is she?" Carly asked.

"At work," Jason said.

"Then why didn't you go sleep at home?" she asked curiously.

"Because sometimes she takes a break and runs home," Jason said. "I was up all night. Are you done interrogating me?"

Carly smirked. "I guess so. I'll wake you up in two hours."

"I'll be in my office," Sonny said.

Carly left the room and came back in a half hour and snapped a picture of Jason and sent it to Liz with a message that said, "Damn Liz."

Elizabeth was in the bathroom washing her hands when she got it just as Sarah walked in. She dried her hands off and grabbed her phone. When she saw the picture of Jason she turned a bright red.

"What?" her sister asked as she looked over Liz's shoulder. Sarah laughed.

Liz looked up at her sheepishly. "I guess I've been a little more amorous than usual."

Sarah's laughter filled the room. "That's an understatement. The man looks like he's a hot mess," she said before going into a stall.

"It's the hormones," she said.

"Uh huh. There is no shame in your game," Sarah said finishing up. "Has he complained?"

"No."

Sarah came out with a big grin on his face and washed her hands. "Look, you are carrying his baby and still have to go through labor. The least he can do is screw you when you need to be screwed. I wouldn't sweat it. If he can't handle it, he'll tell you."

Liz scrunched of her face. "I just want him all the time. I mean I did before but now it's like this crazy thing comes over me and I don't want foreplay or anything else, just him," she said blushing.

"And that's okay. It's a normal part of pregnancy. If Jason is not complaining then you go ahead and get your groove on. Just don't break him, because I'm not lending you Patrick."

Liz laughed. "Good to know. I'd probably just go with one of the guards."

Sarah grinned. "Which one?"

Liz thought for a moment. "I don't know. I hadn't given it much thought before."

"I'd go with Johnny. He's hot."

"But a little too close to home. If Jason killed him, then I would really miss him," Liz explained.

"Hmmmm, you've got a point," she said. "What about Milo? He's young so he'd have stamina and I saw him at the gym one day. He has a nice bod."

"Don't they all?" Liz said. "This has to be the craziest conversation we've had in a long time. I don't even want to think about being with anyone else. Jason is so insanely hot that I don't think anyone else could come close to making me feel….."

Liz stopped walking and Sarah skidded to a halt and turned around and then looked at her sister and started to laugh. "At least give him another hour of sleep. Damn Elizabeth, you're gonna kill that man," Sarah said grinning.

Liz chuckled as she blushed.

Cody was standing off to the side. He had heard part of the conversation and decided that he had to tell Johnny. He couldn't help it.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Johnny grinned as he listened to Cody. "Thanks for letting me know. Do you know where he is?"

"Sonny's."

"Thanks."

Johnny waited and hour and then headed over there just in time to see Carly waking Jason up.

"What's up slacker?" he asked.

Jason growled and sat up, trying to wipe the sleep from his eyes.

"Look, if you can't handle your woman, I'll be happy to step in."

Carly's mouth dropped open and then she busted out laughing.

Jason glared at him. "Really?"

"Hey, I'm not the one hiding from my girl because she's keeping me up all night."

"You have no idea," Jason said standing up. "How the hell did you find out anyway?"

Johnny smirked.

"Cody…..what the hell?"

"You pay us to listen," Johnny said.

Jason's face grew cold. "You have about two seconds to stop talking."

Johnny grinned. "Hey, don't get mad at me because you're having issues keeping it up."

Jason made a move for him and Johnny took off to the door.

Carly tried to cover her grin.

Jason sighed. "I'm never going to hear the end of this."

"Relax. Johnny knows when to stop. You have to admit, it's kind of amusing Jason."

Jason looked at her like she was crazy which made Carly grin wider.

"Look, Sonny was the same way when I was pregnant with Michael. You remember how tired he was. We can't help it," Carly explained. "The hormones just make us want it more and you don't want to hurt her feelings or make her feel bad about it so you're just going to have to suck it up."

"I don't mind making love to Elizabeth, Carly. I just need some sleep in between," he said wiping his hand through his hair.

"Exactly how many times did you do it last night?" she asked figuring that he wouldn't say.

"Maybe six times," Jason muttered.

Carly's mouth dropped open. "What did you just say?"

Jason glared at her. "You heard me. I have to go."

"Damn," Carly muttered. She looked up at the clock. She had about a half hour until Michael woke up. Sonny was about to get lucky.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Elizabeth hurried home. Sarah had helped her do some shopping and she wanted to beat Jason back. Once she got upstairs, she took off her coat and hurried and put the beer she had brought in the fridge and then scurried upstairs. She lit a few candles that were lavender scented and put on a pretty but modest lingerie set. Hearing the door close, she smiled and went downstairs.

Jason looked up at her and smiled. "Wow."

She ran and got a beer and handed it to him. "Sit down."

He took a big swig and then sat on the couch and watched as she took off his boots and socks and then sat next to him.

"How was your day?" she asked.

"It was okay," he said. "Quiet."

Liz nodded.

"How about yours?"

"It was busy," she said.

There was a knock on the door and she closed her robe and went over to it. Johnny was standing there with a smile on his face and handed her some food.

"Thanks!"

"No problem," he said.

She shut the door and placed the Chinese food on the table and went and got some plates.

They ate and then settled back on the couch. After a few minutes, Liz excused herself and went upstairs and ran him a hot bath. She went back downstairs and held out her hand.

Jason looked up at her.

"Come on," she said softly.

Jason figured she wanted to make love so he got up and took her hand and they went upstairs.

He smiled when he saw the soft light of the bedroom and smelled the relaxing scent of lavender.

She undressed him and smirked when she saw him twitch. That was one part of his body that never seemed to tire. Leading him to the bathroom, she pointed to the bathtub and he got in.

"You're not going to join me?" he asked.

"No, you relax," she said.

Walking into the room, she blew out the candles and slipped into bed. About fifteen minutes later, Jason emerged clad in his underwear.

He slipped into bed and she cuddled into his side.

"Sleep," she said softly.

He looked down at her. "Are you sure?"

"Uh huh," she said. "I'm tired."

He was actually a little disappointed because he wanted to make sure she was pleased. She sighed and then jumped a little. Jason sucked in his breath. "I felt that," he said rolling them over and putting a hand on her belly.

Liz smiled. "That was a big one."

The baby moved again and Jason had tears in his eyes. He couldn't even speak which made Liz tear up too.

He leaned over and kissed her belly softly. "Hi baby," he said. "This is your daddy. I love you."

Tears were running down Liz's face at this point.

Jason looked up at her. "Thank you."

She smiled. "Thank you."

Jason moved up and kissed her gently and it quickly turned passionate.

Liz pulled back. "Jason, we don't have to."

He tilted his head. "Why did you say that?"

"If you're tired, I'll understand," she said.

He shut his eyes. "Did someone say something to you?"

"Not really. I was just talking to my sister," she said. "I mean, Carly may have sent me a picture of you asleep and then I kind of read into it with Sarah's help."

"I should kill her," he growled.

"Don't. I'm glad that she did. I know my needs have been greater than normal which is probably crazy if you think about it because we are always all over each other," she said running her hands through his hair as his ear pressed into her belly and their eyes met.

"I don't want you to think that I don't enjoy making love to you," Jason said.

"I know you do after all, it is always otherworldly," she said slightly smiling. "But, we can slow it down if you're too tired. I just need you to be honest with me."

Jason sighed. "Alright."

"I mean it. Don't hold back even if I cry," Liz said.

A tortured look came over Jason's face and Liz grinned. "I love you Jason."

"I love you too," he said before kissing his way up her body. "And right now, I want to make love to my girlfriend, my way." There was no way he was just going to give it to her tonight without any foreplay. He wanted to worship her body.

Liz bit her lip before saying, "Okay."

Jason ravished her, bringing her to two orgasms with his mouth before he even entered her. By the time that he was finished, they were both yelling each other's names and equally wiped out. And as they started to fall asleep, they both had a little smiles on their faces.

Alan looked up and smiled at Elizabeth and Jason as they walked into the living room. "Well hello."

Liz smiled. "Hi. We just came to check up on you."

"You look radiant. And do I detect a bump?" he asked.

Liz grinned. "Finally. Yes, you do. I actually need to do some shopping before I outgrow all of my clothes." Her boobs were getting big and she noticed her hips were widening.

They sat down.

"You are looking better," Jason said to his father.

Alan smiled. "I'm feeling a lot better. Tell me you smuggled in some counterfeit food."

Jason gave him a look. "You do remember who you are married to right?"

Alan chuckled.

"Not to mention, Alice would strangle me," Jason said.

Alice grinned as she pushed Lila into the room. "That's right. I really don't want to have to practice my wrestling moves on you Jason."

Jason smiled.

"Oh my word, look at you," Lila said to Elizabeth. "You are just glowing."

Liz grinned. "Thank you Lila," she said happily. "I can't wait until I can see her beautiful face."

"Do you know what you're having?" Alan asked.

"No, I just have a feeling. I have an ultrasound later today and we should know then," Liz said.

"If the baby will cooperate this time," Jason added.

Lila smiled. "I will be happy either way."

"Me too," Liz said.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" Lila asked curiously.

Liz sighed. "I don't know. I've thrown a few out there but Jason wasn't a fan."

"Why?" Alan asked curiously.

"Well, he doesn't want a junior if it's a boy," Liz said.

"I want him to have his own identity," Jason explained.

"Point taken," Liz said. "And he didn't really want a combo name. So, I'm kind of back to square one."

Lila smiled. "You have plenty of time. Something will stick soon enough."

"I have some news for you," Alan said somberly. "AJ was given three life sentences. He's being moved to a high security penitentiary tomorrow."

Jason nodded.

"Anna called me this morning," Alan added.

Lila sighed. "I wish it didn't have to end that way."

Jason nodded in agreement and took Elizabeth's hand.

Monica walked into the room. "Well hello," she said to Jason and Elizabeth. "I didn't know you were coming over."

Jason smiled. "We kind of popped in. I just wanted to make sure dad was okay."

Monica smiled. "He's doing much better."

Liz stood up to go to the bathroom and clutched her stomach. Jason jumped up and steadied her.

"What's wrong?"

A slow smile appeared on her face. "Nothing, she just kicked me."

"May I?" Alan asked.

Liz walked over to him and he placed his hand on her swollen belly. A minute later Alan was grinning ear to ear.

"I'll be right back," Liz said disappearing.

"It's been a long time since we had little ones running around here," Monica said thinking of Dillon.

"I can't wait," Lila said. "I love their laughter."

A few minutes later Liz came back in.

"You okay?" Jason asked.

"I'm fine."

Alice walked in with some cheese and crackers and apple slices. "You looked like you needed a little snack," she said to Liz who smiled.

"Thank you Alice," she said taking the small plate. She bit into an apple and sighed.

Jason chuckled.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing, I just like watching you" he said before kissing her forehead.

Alan and Monica looked at each other and smiled. They were so happy for Jason and they loved Elizabeth.

They stayed until it was time for their appointment and then hustled off to the hospital.

Kristen finished laying out her last plans. Tomorrow morning, she would disappear from the convent and then meet up with some of the people she had hired. When AJ was transferred, all hell was going to break loose and then it was time to finish out her plan. This time, Jason and AJ would die. Jason was now a means to an end. She wanted AJ dead because she was now convinced that he had a part in her father's death, especially considering the man had somehow managed to convince Stefano to leave him the business. That just would not do. They were both going down and then she'd destroy Sonny and have everything. Stefano would definitely be proud.
