Chapter Two
"Jason, I've been divorced for three months, when do I get to come home? Don't get me wrong, the Dominican is a beautiful place but I miss you, I miss my friends, okay well not them so much but, I haven't seen you since the night…err…early morning I left."
"I know baby, but since you left, Port Charles has lost its ever loving mind. Sonny continues to make bad decision after bad decision. He's been contemplating jumping in the proverbial bed with Alcazar and the Ruiz's. When I told him it would be the last thing he did, he laughed and told me I was his bitch and would do what he wanted."
"Why would you put up with his bullshit, you are a million times the man he is. Don't let him screw this up for us, do what you need to do, so I can come home. Johnny Z and Johnny O are going nuts, sitting around and doing nothing but watching me. Has Sam been handled, how about Carly?"
"Ugh…"
"Did the great Jason Morgan just Ugh me?"
"Not you but damn I have the craziest of the crazies circling me. I disappeared yesterday for a ride and all three of those idiots were out searching for me."
"Again, why are you putting up with this? They…Jason are you stalling or going about this in this way because you don't want to see where we can go?"
"What no! Since you've been gone, I've had a lot of time to think and reflect and you are the only thing in my crazy world I am sure about. Elizabeth, I love you."
"You…You love me?"
"Yes, I do. I haven't said it because I wanted to tell you in person, but…"
"No, I understand. There is something I have been waiting to tell you in person too, but with having waited this long, I think you are right, saying what we need to say is the only way to go."
"What do you need to tell me?"
"This isn't the way I wanted to tell you, I wanted to surprise you, give you a couple of gifts and make this moment as special as possible."
"Baby, I am sorry my life is screwing with ours."
"No, this isn't your fault. I just, I guess I wanted it to be perfect. Jason, I'm pregnant."
"My God, my baby's having my baby?"
"Yeah, yeah I am. You are happy right?"
"I can't even begin to tell you how much. Okay, Sam shouldn't be a problem much longer; I talked to Mac and told him about her latest stunt. Paying some hooker to kill your mother wasn't her brightest moment. Especially since it was all because she wanted Ric since I wasn't available, and remind me to have my head examined after dallying with her for as long as I did."
"Okay, what about Carly?"
"I don't know what to do about her, unless I resort to hire a killer to get rid of her. She is being intentionally dense and refusing to see anything but her own wants. As for Sonny, I'll take care of him, so way."
"Just promise me I will be home before the New Year?"
"Absolutely, otherwise, I'll let Port Charles burn and join you and then whisk you away, just the two of us."
"Why can't you just do that now?"
"I could try, but I doubt Carly would go gentle into that good night."
"Jason, did you just sort of quote Dylan Thomas?"
"Maybe… I thought it fitting."
"It was and I hate to say it, but you are right, she wouldn't. She's like a dog with a bone; she'd track you to the ends of the earth."
Unable to stop her yawn, Elizabeth cursed her extra need for more sleep.
"Baby, you need to sleep."
"I know, but you rarely get a free minute, I don't want to sleep when I could be talking to you."
"You need to take care of you and our baby, since I can't do it personally."
"Johnny Z swears he will never have children, thanks to my mood swings and cravings and Johnny O, well he swears he'll die a bachelor, I think he might be right if he keeps…playing the field with numerous women."
"Why does that not surprise me?"
"Because they've been working for you, for long enough you know them."
"So true, maybe too long, but they are good men. Sleep well baby, I'll talk to you again soon. I love you."
"I love hearing it and I love you too. Hey, have you remembered that third thing yet, I'm dying of curiosity?"
"Umm…"
"What?"
"I was going to ask if you'd adopt Cam, even if you couldn't be near him or around us much, I wanted to be sure that should something happen to me, he'd be protected and loved."
"That night my answer would have been yes, my answer now, would be hell yes."
"You are a wonderful man Jason and I am so fortunate to call you my more than friend."
"I'm the one who is blessed. Goodnight."
When the call ended, Elizabeth couldn't stop the tears from coming.
Three months without the man you love. Angry, threatening calls from those you used to call friends. Nothing about her life lately screamed calm and relaxed, even though she spent so much time on the beach and entertaining her young son.
She needed to make one more call, Jason needed help, the losers and users were not going to make anything easy.
'Come on, answer' Elizabeth whispered to the room.
"Hello?"
"Oh thank God, Francis, I need your help."
"What do you need? Are the Johnny's misbehaving again?"
"I almost wish it was a simple fix but it isn't. I know you don't want to get dragged back in, but Jason seriously needs your help. I don't want to beg, but for my sanity and my children's, Jason needs help."
"Oh Lizzie, you are right that I don't want to be drag back in, but you are my friend and so is Jason. I'll see what I can do, get to bed, it's late there and I am sure Jason told you the same thing."
"You know him well. Love ya, talk to you later."
"Right back at you kiddo and for me try not to worry."
'Yeah, me not worry, that will happen…someday.' She thought to herself.

"Carly if I have to tell you one more time, I won't hesitate to get a restraining order and tell Mac each and every dirty deed you have ever done, if it will get you out of my life."
"But Jason, you know you need me, as much as I need you. You are making a terrible mistake."
"The only mistake I've made is continuing being friends with you. Goodbye Carly."
It wasn't very effective, she'd be calling back in moments but he didn't have to answer the damn call.
A father…the information still hadn't sunk in. One of the few things that he had wanted in his life was finally a reality.
Lost in his thoughts, he didn't hear his house phone ring. The goofy grin on his face would have scared some, made other worried and ruined his reputation all in one fell swoop.
Pulled partially from his thoughts, Jason reached over and answered the phone, sure with some part of his mind, he'd regret answering the damn thing, but he didn't ignore any calls, hence why Carly was still able to get through.
"Morgan."
"Jason this is Mac Scorpio, I need to see you are you available?"
Breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but laugh. Who knew that someday in his life he would find it comforting to have the police commissioner phoning him?
"Find something funny Morgan?"
"I doubt you'd believe me if I told you but what the hell. I was finding amusement in the fact that I don't hate hearing your voice that you are one of maybe ten people that don't make me wish for a brain hook."
"Brain hook, do I even want to know?"
"It is supposedly the item they used to remove the brain of those they were mummifying."
"Only you would have such useless information and be able to use it with all seriousness."
"Don't tell me you haven't thought of scrambling your own brains with some of your detectives, for example Lucky Spencer or your daughter Maxie?"
"Don't remind me. Lucky's death was, well, if I was a good human being, I'd say a tragedy but since I know who I am talking to, I'll simply say, Port Charles got lucky the day he actually managed to kill himself. Although, only a Spencer would be able to die of something as ridiculous as dry drowning, from apnea for holding his breath, because he wasn't getting his way."
"I rest my case. Are you coming up or are you expecting me to come down to the precinct?"
"Actually, for the last five minutes I've been standing at your door. Surprisingly, our conversation kept me entertained enough, I forgot to knock."
Jason laughed long and hard at that.
Opening the door, he watched as Mac wiped his eyes, clearing them of his tears of laughter.
"So, what is it that you needed?"
"Sam, that tip you gave, well it paid off. One of the guys I had tailing her, caught her in the act. Seemed she decided she wanted to be a little more hands on and forgo the whole hooker/killer… Earlier this evening, Sam broke into her mother's home and shot her, thanks to her being such a lousy shot, Alexis is going to live but when my deputy tried to get her to drop her weapon, she fired on him and he returned fire. I'm not sure if it is sadly or not, but he wasn't as good of a shot as he should have been, instead of winging her, it was a head shot."
"Wow… that actually is good news. Don't look at me like that. I just found out I'm going to be a father. When Sam isn't trying to ruin her mother's life and take her husband, she's here, wearing the smallest damn clothes trying to get me back in her bed or breaking out the tears and calling me all kinds of asshole for breaking her heart."
"Do I even want to know who the mother of your child is?"
Jason could see the indecision on his face but smiled nonetheless. "Well, I don't know, maybe you'd be happy for me or you could jump on the crazy bandwagon with most of the others and they don't even know she was with me."
"Do I have to use my detective skills to get the answers or are you going to spill?"
"Elizabeth Webber soon to be Morgan is my baby mama!"
"Holy shit, I mean, yeah I can see why certain people would go to crazyville hearing that news. Where is she by the way?"
"The Dominican Republic, the night I saved her from Manny, we bumped into each other again and got to talking and she asked for a favor. She wanted a quickie divorce, so I sent her but because of all the upheaval here, I keep putting her off of coming home."
"Obviously she didn't leave right after…Wait a minute; I got a report that night that some kids were being indecent. When my detective got to the area, it was empty but he did find a bra. Are you telling me you created your baby on the Port Charles docks?"
For possibly the first time ever, Jason Morgan blushed from the roots of his hair all the way down to his toes. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Sure you don't. That might be more believable if you weren't as red as a cooked lobster."
"Shuddup…" Jason groaned.
"I have to say, your Stonecold persona was better before Miss Webber soon to be Morgan." Mac laughed.
"Are you going to continue to bust my balls or are you done making fun of me?"
"Nope, we're good for tonight. Keep your nose clean Jason. Those that are causing you issues, especially those who are less than sane, will self-destruct, specifically without you helping them wipe their noses or blow their asses."
"Why, Mr. Scorpio, when did you get a sense of humor?"
"I think the precise question is when did you get one?"
As Jason ushered him out of the penthouse his phone rang again. Cursing the damn contraption, he answered, "Morgan."
"Jason… I can't sleep."
"Why can't you sleep?"
"Because every time I close my eyes, I see your hands on my body, in my body…I'm so wet and need you so bad but all I have is my inadequate fingers and…"
"And, and what?"
