Switching Places
Chapter 45
Marriage is a lifetime commitment, if you are smart instead of the priest you visit the shrink.
The day dawned with a clear blue sky and lots of sunshine, even if it wasn't that warm. Not that anyone doubted the weather, they all knew that if it wasn't nice, between Maxie and Carly the local weather man had more than likely prayed to every deity known to man. They had been calling the local weather service for days, determined to have a beautiful day for this wedding.
They ran through their allotted assignments, Elizabeth was having a grand time with hers. She was babysitting young Kristina and was enjoying watching Jason play with the infant. As the little girl wrapped her tiny hand around his finger, Elizabeth was imagining the day that they would have their own little ones.
Hearing Kristina crying as he got off the elevator, Sonny knocked then was let in in time to see his former business partner feeding the little girl her bottle. "They are so soft and innocent aren't they?" He asked as he crossed over to the man leaning against the pool table while holding the baby in his arms.
Thinking in regret of the children he had lost, Sonny had a sad smile on his face when Elizabeth returned from the kitchen. "Sonny, how are you?"
"Great, I only wish that I had more time. I never knew running a restaurant was more time consuming than my former line of work. I have to admit it is much more rewarding as well. Elizabeth, I just wanted to tell you that I looked at the estate you recommended. You were correct it is perfect. Michael liked it as well."
"Good, are you going to make an offer?" She mentally reminding herself to tell Carly he had chosen the estate he had lived at in the other timeline.
"I already did, Jordan took care of it this morning. Jason, I need to have Max upgrade the security system, so that it will be safe for Michael to visit."
Mac waited until they had left then reached down to remove the box. Looking through, he smiled at the idea of having a new life. Felicia had called offering to return to take care of the girls, but they had refused. Alexis had invited them to move into the Lake House with them as soon as they had gotten engaged, wanting to assure Maxie and Georgie that she considered them to be a part of the family.
Wandering the house he had bought to raise his girls in along with any future children with Felicia, he appreciated that it had done part of the job incredibly even if his marriage had collapsed. It had been for the best, he had moved on to someone who was the perfect wife, not the perfect girlfriend. While he would always love Felicia, he had fallen out of love with her years ago.
She had given him an extraordinary gift in the two girls though. Listening as the phone rang in Paris, he only wished that Robin was here to celebrate with them, However her new life was in France and she was happy. She had been astonished to hear about Alexis and him, but had wished them the best.
"Bonjour?" He heard.
"Robin, it's your Uncle Mac."
"Are you married yet?" She asked looking at the clock and estimating it was close to three in the afternoon back home.
"No, the wedding is tonight. Just as the sun sets. I wish you were here, I will miss you when I am walking down the aisle."
"Are Georgie and Maxie with you?"
"No, Maxie took Kristina over to Elizabeth, then went to meet Alexis and Georgie at the new house to have their hair done. Carly and Elizabeth have everything ready, only a few last minute details are still to be done. Jax is supposed to here soon, along with Ned."
"Who is your best man?" She asked curiously.
"Justus Ward. He is the new DA. Baldwin resigned after the debacle with John Durant. Kevin and Lucy couldn't come."
"Who did Alexis ask to be her Maid of Honor?" She asked.
"That has been an interesting topic of discussion, she wanted to have both Carly and Elizabeth stand up for her, but with Carly as late into her pregnancy as she is, I suggested having the girls, instead. Alexis had intended for them to be bridesmaids, but now Jax is the Man of Honor. At least if he shows up. Yesterday I heard that the bridal shower got a little out of hand."
"Did Brenda arrive? How is she getting along with Carly?"
"Brenda arrived this morning, Carly and her haven't seen each other, but I doubt there will be a problem. Neither of them wants Sonny, in fact Carly has been rather cool towards him since the court case over Michael."
"What court case, no one said a word." She said.
"Sonny wanted to keep AJ away; Carly has been allowing visits. Sonny finally dropped the case when Alexis pointed out that if he kept at it, his adoption of Michael could be overturned."
"So Carly is letting AJ near his son, after ruining so many lives with the secret." She said a tad bitterly. Jason and her would still be together if it hadn't been for the blond and the secret surrounding Michael. "Why am I not surprised?"
"AJ has been changing, he is no longer living at the mansion, instead he has a house on Charles Street, and he works for the Marine builder, designing yachts. Between the new baby and all the things going on, they have come to a truce."
"It won't last long, this is Carly. As soon as she sees something she wants, that will be all out the window. I'm surprised she isn't still chasing after Jason." Mac looked up to see Justus and the other two men arriving. Gesturing them in, he continued his conversation.
"Elizabeth is more than a match for anything Carly might pull, but the fact is Carly seems to accept that Jason and Elizabeth truly are perfect together. Elizabeth, Alexis and Carly seem to have become friends over the last year."
Robin hung up after wishing him well, trying to recall what she knew about Elizabeth Webber. Brenda had been very supportive of Jason and the younger girl. So had Sonny when she had talked to her old friend. The only thing she could recall was a smallish quiet girl with dark hair. Not unlike herself. She could not help wondering if Jason had just chosen the girl because of her resemblance to herself.
Lila was corralling the various members of her family. Brooklynn and Dillon had gone to see the Jones girls, but her grandson had gotten no further than flirting with Sage and Lulu. That young man was asking for trouble if he didn't rein in his libido. Seeing Ned arriving, she greeted him with a smile, then laughed as he told her that he had made sure there were not vehicles traveling anyplace nearby that his own former runaway bride could hitch a ride on.
"She is finally ready for this; it is her time for happiness." Simply explained Lila. As the cantankerous family settled, the rest of Port Charles soon arrived. Seeing Jason carrying the baby, Monica looked down so that he didn't see her grin, he looked rather natural as a father. When the outside torches were lit, the ceremony was to begin.
Elizabeth and Carly soon settled the guests, then ordered the harpist to begin playing as Mac walked out to the bower along with Justus. Seeing his daughters walking together, Mac chuckled when they stopped and tossed their bouquets to Elizabeth then took Kristina from Morgan. Maxie was carrying her little sister in spite of protest from Carly.
When Jax walked down the aisle, there were a few chuckles from the guests who had been at the bachelor party. None would soon forget the mental breakdown he had had the previous evening nor what he had revealed.
As they all stood, Mac saw Nik holding onto Emily who had staggered slightly. Everyone in attendance was aware that her chemo was not working as well as hoped. Hearing the organist start the wedding march, he watched as his bride came towards him. Seeing Ned stand at the other end of the aisle, he wanted to tell the man not to bother, Alexis would not be running this time.
When Stefan and Alexis were within a few feet, he heard a disturbance, and then someone he wished wasn't here. "Now, darling Natasha, you would not try to get married without me."
There were more than a few suggestions to Luke that he shut up and sit down. Seeing Bobbie stand up and go over and pull the man down into a vacant chair, Jason and Nik's eyes met. Spencer was drunk and more than likely looking for someone to blame for Lucky's predicament. Neither of them was going to allow him to ruin this day for Alexis.
When Stefan reached the altar and Father Coates asked who gave away this bride, there was some laughter as the feminist in Alexis came out. "No one is giving me away, except myself." She said firmly.
As the ceremony proceeded Jason saw they had acquired a few extra witnesses, Lorenzo Alcazar who signaled he needed to talk and a young man who quickly left when he realized he had been observed. Reaching down to take Elizabeth's hand, he found himself pressing his wedding band into hers when Father Coates announced you may now kiss the bride.
"May I present Malcolm and Alexis Scorpio?" He said, then leaning towards an irate Maxie, he smiled and realized he had messed up Alexis's request. "Rather the Scorpio family." He quickly corrected.
At the applause, the newly married couple came down the aisle, only to stop so they could greet their guests on the way inside to the reception. Carly, who was planning a quick escape to the nearest bathroom, laughed when she saw Maxie hand Kristina off to a shocked Jax so that she could hug the couple.
When she returned she saw the Aussie sitting in a chair off to the side holding Kristina and talking to the infant. Walking up she asked if he wanted her to take the little girl.
"No, she is fine. It's amazing how good babies can make you feel." He said softly. "I owe you an apology, for the last year so many people have been saying how much you have changed. I refused to see that it was true. I have been watching you since I returned and other than the rather surreal bridal shower yesterday, you have been different."
Laughing Carly said, "I hate to tell you this, but the only thing I did deliberately was not telling you what kind of gift to get. Everything else is what normally happens."
"What ever happened to women being modest and shy?" He said sighing.
"That was a figment of men's fragile egos, we have just kept it quiet so that you men will be able to handle living with us."
Jason walked over to the edge of the property and said "What did you find out?"
"This Ian Devlin, is a connection of the Zachara family. Through Claudia. Drugs for fakes. He was a face cutter. Worked down south. I wish I could tell you more, but I don't have anyone else to ask. What are you concerned about? Should I be worried for my family?"
"No, but if you should hear anything, will you let me know?"
"For the most part, I don't hear much. I got this from a government contact. Something else I heard that you should know. Steven Webber once worked for John Durant. Rumors from my contract. He quit when the man ordered him to town to get close to his sister and get the goods on you. The good doctor refused to use his sister like that and walked away. He was warned to keep him mouth shut then transferred via Homeland Security to work the morgue in Iraq."
"Thanks, I will let Elizabeth know. She has been worried, while they aren't close they usually exchange e-mails and letters. Look, since you are staying in town, I was wondering if you would consider letting Sage spend some more time with Michael. My nephew enjoys playing games with her."
"While I don't mind, I get the feeling that his mother isn't so fond of my former job and me." In fact, every time he was in the same room, he got the feeling she thought he was the devil incarnate in spite of that she seemed to truly be kind to his niece. Hw would try and talk to Skye she seemed to have given him good advice so far.
"Carly is the one who asked me to relay the message. She is uncomfortable being around anyone connected anymore."
"I am aware of the rather fractious relationship she has with her former husband. Could you please let her know that I will let Sage know that she is invited? I have to talk to you about something else. Your sister."
"Emily? Are you one of her professors?" He asked.
"No, I was talking about Skye. Would you consider it an intrusion into business if I dated her?"
"Skye is more than capable of handling herself; I didn't meet her until a few years ago. As for dating her, no, I have no problems with it. She had her heart broken by Jax, at least according to my wife, so tread lightly." He warned before going over to his wife. "Would you like to dance?"
Looking onto the dance floor/living room she said "I would love to."
Holding Elizabeth close, Jason danced two dances with her before Nik interrupted them. "Jason, I need your help."
"Is it Luke?" He asked.
"No, we need to get Emily out of her discreetly. She had a little bit of a dizzy spell."
Elizabeth walked over to her friend and sat down saying "Are you nauseous?"
"No, just dizzy. I forgot to take my pill this morning. I just want to get out of here and go home and take it. If Mom and Dad figure it out, they will go into overprotective mode."
"What can I do?" Asked Jason as he joined them.
"Just cover for us. Have one of your men drive us, then take Nik's car back home. Also if anyone asks tell him or her we went for a romantic drive, that the wedding inspired us."
"I want to go with you." Said Elizabeth firmly.
"NO! If you come, they will think something is wrong. Please Elizabeth." Pleaded Emily.
Lucky sat in the chair, waiting for Dr. Winters to return. When she did he said "Can we run the tests?"
"Yes, I am glad you are getting your memories back. Dr. Jones is arranging for a specialist to come to run them since the courts agree he can't be impartial."
When the doctor arrived, Lucky was amused to find out he had once dated his aunt. What was it with her, this one was also a doctor. "Dr. Drake, what are the chances my memories will come back?" He earnestly asked.
Lainey waited until he had left then called Det. Taggert. Hearing the party in the background she said "Lucky Spencer is recalling some things. Do you want to come over and look at the tape?"
"I will be right there." He said then hanging up went over and whispered in Mac's ear, before congratulating Alexis.
Calling the station he told Capelli that he had to go to the hospital in regards to Spencer and told him he would be there for his shift a little late.
"Did he regain his memory?" Asked the other man.
"No, just some early memories." At least that is what he is claiming thought Taggert after hanging up. When he arrived at the hospital, after greeting the new nurse, he went to see Dr. Winters.
"You clean up rather nice, Detective Taggert." She said with an admiring glance. What a shame about the inferiority complex she thought. "Okay here is the tape the judge ordered me to keep."
Walking to the private room next to Alan Quartermaine's office, Taggert watched as Lucky pretended to be excited by the idea of having memories from his childhood on the run with his parents. As he listened to the jerk, all Taggert could do is applaud the Oscar winning performance.
Getting off the phone with the DA handling the case, he grimaced then thought about it "Why would Scott Baldwin agree to represent Spencer? Why did the other attorney quit?"
Chapter 46
When Alexis got ready to toss the bouquet, she soon realized that Emily was missing. Going over to Elizabeth she saw the somber expression on the brunette's face and just nodded. Gathering all the single women, she turned around and just tossed it no longer planning on aiming for anyone in particular.
Hearing laughter she saw that the flowers had gone off to the right and directly into the lap of Lila Quartermaine. "Hey Edward, I would behave if I were you, seems like your wife is getting married again soon." Joked Luke as he drunkenly wandered the house with a bottle of bourbon. As soon as a blushing Mac removed the extra garter, the various men were gathered and he flung it over his head, while the men tried to avoid catching it. When the "winner" had no choice but to accept the blue lace ring, they made several jokes about placing it. However, Stefan with a dignified tone of voice said that he would never remarry.
"Of course not, you are still in love with my wife."
"Why don't you find someplace to sober up Spencer, before your end up floating in the lake face down?" Said Stefan.
Gathering the bridesmaids and her friends, Alexis went off to change out of her wedding dress, as they were walking down the hall, she soon saw Ned and asked for a minute. "You wanted to talk?"
"I was watching you with Mac, you are truly happy, aren't you?" He asked thinking of the past and what could have been.
"I have someone who accepts me for me, obsessive compulsive, can't cook who can become neurotic at a drop of the hat, who loves me as much as I love him. He balances my shortcomings and I knew how to deal with his."
"Mac Scorpio has shortcomings?" Sneered a drunk Luke as he wandered past. "Yes, his solid streak of honesty and adherence to the law, that could be considered a bad thing for someone with your past, Natasha."
"Luke, I am not sure why you are determined to ruin this day, but you need to stop."
"Your new husband is trying to get my son sent to prison, but you and I both know that you belong there as well." He said.
"So do you, Luke. As for Lucky he kidnapped Georgie. What would you do if the situation was reversed and someone kidnapped Lulu?"
"That's different, Lucky thought she was Elizabeth, there are mitigating circumstances." He protested.
"Like you would think that if someone grabbed Lulu thinking she was Carly." She said sadly. "You need to stop and think about this. All you are doing is hurting Lucky's defense and alienating your friends."
When they arrived back at the penthouse, Elizabeth found a message from the doctor in charge of the ER; calling back she grimaced and told Jason, "They want me to cover part of the nightshift. From 11 to 3."
"I will let Francis know you get some sleep until then." He said before going to the door. Waiting until she was headed up the stairs, he laughed silently at the pout. She had been talking about what she wanted to do when they went to bed, and none of it had involved sleeping.
After letting the guard know, Jason joined his wife setting the alarm for two hours, then curled up close deciding to go to the office while she was working.
Jason dropped Elizabeth off with a kiss and a promise of a rain check for their interrupted evening. Grinning slyly as he walked into the restaurant he saw his former partner closing down for the night.
"Where is Elizabeth?" Asked Sonny. "I have a new gelato I want her opinion of." Sonny had been using Elizabeth and Emily as testers for all the new desserts for his place.
"Working, a short shift. I was on my way to the office but I thought I would check in on you." He said sitting down on the plush bar stool.
"I'm good, just tired. The side effects from the drug are a little tiring. Plus there is a lot more to running a successful place then I knew. Be glad you didn't open that coffee shop after all, between the regulations, ordering food and dealing with clientele it can be nerve racking."
"You seem to be thriving on it." He said.
"That is because I get to step into the kitchen and work out any frustrations. Brenda stopped in earlier, tell Elizabeth it was fine. I gather she stayed only for the wedding but skipped the reception. She has a magazine interview with some high fashion rag."
Elizabeth stitched up the drunken man, conscious of the fact that Francis was not thrilled with his behavior. As she told him to take the mild pain pills, he grabbed her arm and asked how about a date.
Holding up her hand with her wedding ring, she said "Not interested, I'm married."
"So are most of the women I date, I am pretty good in the sack." He boasted.
"Do you like your bones where they are?" She asked.
"Come on, a pretty little think like you, can't do me any harm. Look back home, I could give you lots of references from the women I have slept with."
"Oh, you are not a local, which explained it. When you get back to wherever you are staying, get down on your knees and pray to god thanking him for keeping you safe from the close call you avoided tonight."
"Oh, I would love to be on my knees with you." Said the leering jerk. When Francis looked ready to enter and undo her handiwork, she waved him off intending to handle the man herself unaware of her interested official audience.
Taggert listened and decided since his night had ended with getting his suit ruined breaking up a bar fight at the dive on Courtland Street, he would have a little fun. "Nurse Morgan, is the man ready for transport?"
"Yes, he is all yours, Lt. Taggert." Seeing his wink, she said. "Thank you for what you are about to do, but I would have liked to taken care of it myself."
"But then I would have had to haul you down to the station and there would be no fun in it for me. Now if it were your husband, that would be a different story."
Jason went into the warehouse, watching as his men unloaded a shipment then headed to his office. Johnny had been promoted when Francis refused to leave Elizabeth's detail. However they were both told that he considered them to equally hold the job as enforcer. Seeing the lanky Irishmen, he asked "did you take care of it?"
"He agreed to your terms, how did you know what he was up to?"
"Long story, but as long as he is on board, I can deal with our next possible problem. Also I called Stefan Cassidine and his nephew, they should be arriving soon."
Looking at the clock, Johnny just shrugged then answered his ringing cell phone. Thanking the voice on the other end, he turned to Jason and said "We followed the kid back to house, it happened again. However Marco was on this Trevor Lansing. We think we know why Johnny is just taking the abuse. He has to go and check something out, then will come in to explain."
"Fine, I will be working on the stuff from Diane, until the Cassidines get here." Picking up the file, he groaned as he realized how thick the brief was, until he found the cover sheet inside. Diane was turning out to be an incredible find, he thought. Reading all the ways that it would be tied up, he only hoped that Nik would take his offer.
Ten minutes later, the two Greeks entered the office; Stefan with his habitual look of disdain while Nik just looked tired. "Emily is fine; she took her anti-nausea med as soon as she got home."
"Thank you. Look, I have to talk to the two of you, no games no deceptions. I am aware of your financial problems as a result of what Helena pulled. I might have a solution and no it doesn't involve mob money. While my relationship with Edward is strained, he still keeps me up to date on ELQ and all my other holdings from Jason Quartermaine. Including my trust funds."
"What does this have to do with Nik?" Asked a suspicious Stefan.
"I want to arrange a loan from those funds to Nik. I know about Lydia, and I know that you don't want to marry her. This way, you get the money, with generous terms to pay me back just the principle and get to live you life the way you want. This has nothing to with your relationship with my sister. Actually this is for Elizabeth."
"Jason, the amount needed is way more that what you have. I know how much Emily has in her trust; she offered it to me. I turned her down, so I can only say thank you for the offer, but no thanks."
"Hear me out, first of all. I have more than one trust. My biological mother, Susan Moore left me a trust, which Scott Baldwin tried to loot when I was young. Afterwards, Lee Baldwin took care of; he built it up to a rather large amount, more than enough to take care of your problems. The second trust holds Cassidine stock."
"Which would help prevent the takeover." Said an understanding Stefan. "Why would you do this?"
"I had started to set it up for Elizabeth; she refused to take it. We are going to lend it to you, then afterwards arrange for it to go to any children we have. She wants to help you."
"Can I think about it?" Asked Nik wearily.
"Fine, you know your situation better than I do. I only have one request, get your brother some help. There is something wrong with him. I know that you heard what happened when I saw him at GH. He has a big problem and I am not talking about his legal issues."
Stefan agreed with Morgan, but knew that Nik did not see how off Lucky Spencer was, he only saw his brother, the one from years ago, not the reckless and obsessive man who returned. "Is this going to be an issue with the money?"
"No, this is a request of someone who cares about Emily and Elizabeth; the way Lucky has been acting is hurting them both."
Elizabeth was amused to hear the uniformed officer's version of her drunk's leaving. Seems like Taggert had made the man aware of whose wife he had tried to hit on. The man had run like a spooked horse. While she would have liked to deal with him herself, she had to admit that it was nice to know that there were plenty of others worried about her. A difference from her childhood.
Seeing Monica entering, she said "Were you called in."
"No, Alan was snoring. It happens on occasion, but since I don't sleep well without him, I come in and get my paperwork up to date. Why are you here?"
After explaining about the short shift, she asked about Emily.
"Home asleep. Skye however was still in the den, muttering about Edward and fire inspections. Her latest assignment is getting all Quartermaine properties up to date. She has been dealing with Edward not wanting to spend any money but wanting her to get them certified." She said wryly.
"I will deal with Edward over the drunks who have come through here tonight. We had more police officers taking people out of here this evening." Elizabeth's eyes widened as she saw the young man entering holding his side and breathing hard. "I have to take care of this guy."
"Let me help. Who did that?" She asked the young man as she led him into a treatment room.
"I can't answer that. I can barely breath." He said gasping for breath.
Monica and Elizabeth eased him down on a table. Checking him over, Monica said "It looks like you have a couple of broken ribs, I need to send you to x-ray. Elizabeth go with him, also have them check for a possible head trauma."
Once they were sure that the lung hadn't been punctured, Monica taped him up not commenting on the older bruising she saw, then asked Elizabeth to finish with the cuts and cleaning him up. "I will run and get you a prescription from the pharmacy."
Walking out the door, the steaming blond grabbed her son's employee and said "Elizabeth knew this boy and from how upset she was knew what has been happening to him. What do you know?"
Swallowing, Francis wondering if Jason was aware how scary his mother was. "I can't tell you, but don't bother with any strong drugs; he just gets rid of them. Won't take them."
"Tell my son that I said to deal with whoever is hurting that young man. Don't bother telling me that you don't know who is doing this. There were welts on his back." She whispered harshly. "Someone hit him with a belt, repeatedly. Tell my son that I said to protect him."
"How do you know that Jason isn't the one responsible?" Asked Alan as he entered the conversation. Waking up by himself he knew where to find his missing wife. He had been standing there almost five minutes and his wife's blind rage had prevented her from seeing him. When she turned on him in anger, "Just kidding. Look, I know something about this, have the duty nurse get the drugs, come to my office and I will explain."
Elizabeth gently finished cleaning the cuts, then said. "I know what you did for Georgie, thank you. No, don't run."
"I didn't do it for thanks." He said through the busted lip. "Please keep my being here quiet."
"Do you know whom I am married to?" She asked quietly.
"Morgan, the man whose territory this is."
"Then you know we can protect you, look this is the key to my studio. It's the building near Kelly's on the waterfront. If you need to flee, go there. Take it, please." Elizabeth reached into the pocket in her white lab coat and pulled out the keys, removing one of them.
"I don't need any help. You have no idea what is going on." He protested. "If anyone suspected even being married to Morgan couldn't protect you."
"There is another option. An old set of railroad cars, down by the old transport hub, if you want to hide, there are some open cars. Just take care of yourself. No one should have to live this way."
"Did you ever stop to think that maybe I deserve this."
"No one deserves this. Just promise me that if it gets any worse, you will run, before you end up dead." She said before gently forcing the key into his hand.
Lucky waited until the guard had changed for the night. Then walking to the door said he couldn't sleep and would like to take a small walk.
"Fine, but only as far as the hub. Maybe they can give you another sleeping pill." The officer told his former classmates.
Lucky went to the hub, then after getting the pill, faked taking it. Returning to the room, he pretended to sleep, all the while making plans for his next move. He had heard that Emily was going to be at the hospital tomorrow. He knew she would come and check on him, just like she had almost everyday since he had been in here.
Thanks to Lulu not wanting to tell him anything, he had pretended not to know she had cancer. That was the in he needed. The sleeping pill taken at just the right time tomorrow would make her help him, feeling guilty for deserting her oldest friend.
Elizabeth entered the penthouse, exhausted. Jason helped her remove the light jacket she was wearing and after they had showered, tucked them into bed. Tomorrow they could deal with all that had happened this evening.
"I gave Nik back his car, promise me you will never drive it again?" Asked Jason as they slowly fell asleep.
Grinning in her sleep, Elizabeth could not help dreaming of Jason, the Jag and no clothes. Emily's fantasy of her and Nik had gotten a hold of Elizabeth's imagination and it was off and running.
When Jason awoke at seven-thirty to the sound of his wife moaning and then heard her saying to get in the back seat, he silently chuckled then looked at the clock again before picking up his phone to call Alan. "I am running a little late; can we meet at nine?"
Getting an affirmative answer, Jason pulled back the sheet and bent down to kiss his still sleeping wife when he heard her ordering him to remove his shoes. Deciding to wake her from her dream slowly, he had to admit that there were some serious benefits to a wife with a rather vivid imagination.
When she woke up, Elizabeth found herself living part of the dream she had just been having as Jason was slowly kissing his way down her body. Giggling she sighed and said to him "Now this is the best way to wake up in the morning."
Those were the last words either said that made any sense for the next hour, until Jason realized it was now fifteen minutes to nine. Rushing off to the bathroom, he heard Elizabeth saying "You know a girl could get a complex. A handsome man has his way with her and then just rushes off."
"That's true, but a husband could also be jealous of his wife dreaming about another man's car." He teased before leaning down to kiss her. "Why don't you try and get some sleep before meeting me for breakfast at Kelly's."
"Let's make it an early lunch." She said before curling up on his side of the bed already falling asleep on his pillow.
Jason walked down the stairs, straightening his hair and grabbing his jacket so that he could ride his bike to the hospital. Alan had called the previous evening, saying it was about the abused kid.
