Chapter 33

Elizabeth walked out of the OR and into the washroom. Patrick was already scrubbing. "Another successful operation by the team of Drake and Morgan." He said grinning.

"You did great. Which of course you already know." Elizabeth said grabbing the soap. Patrick was his biggest fan. "How is Robin, I haven't seen her in a few days."

"She's great. Right now she is the middle of a research project so you won't be seeing much of her for a while." Patrick told his friend. He was glad that Robin was in the lab, less chance of her running into Sabrina. He wasn't blind to the fact that his wife wasn't being nice to the nurse. Who it appeared had moved on with one of Jason's guys.

"How is the baby doing?" Elizabeth was happy for her friends.

"Good. The morning sickness is done so that's a relief." Patrick had felt helpless watching his wife get sick every day. "Got any advice?"

"What? The great Dr. Drake is admitting he doesn't know something." Elizabeth said laughing as they walked down the hall. "I should mark this day on my calendar."

"Ha ha." Patrick said calling an elevator.

"I'm sure you are going to do fine. I do hope you have a girl because karma's a bitch." Elizabeth said with an evil grin. "I'd love to have to watch you stare down some boy who comes to take out your baby girl."

"You know by wishing that on me you are borrowing trouble." Meaning she was almost guaranteeing she would have a girl. Patrick liked the thought of that. Jason Morgan with a girl. He was for anything that stressed the mob boss.

"You need to have a girl so that Jake will have someone to marry." Elizabeth said stepping behind the hub.

Patrick realized that there was no way his baby wouldn't play with Elizabeth's kids. No way was his precious girl marrying one of Morgan's sure to be thug kids. True they'd have some of Elizabeth in them, but Jason would probably deck him at the playground.

Elizabeth just smirked at her friend. Teach him to mess with her. Looking up at the clock she realized that Jason would be arriving shortly. "Don't you have a post op patient to check on? Your epilepsy patient from yesterday." Actually she just wanted him gone before her husband arrived.

"Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow in the OR." Patrick confirmed.

"No, you won't. I'm on Monica's service tomorrow." Elizabeth told her friend.

"Why?" Patrick stopped in his tracks. He hadn't fought so hard to get Liz put on the surgical rotation to share her.

"Because she requested it. She is the Chief of Staff. Kinda hard to say no to her. So I'm on Monica's service tomorrow, and then Matt's, after that then I'm back on yours for two days." Elizabeth read her schedule.

"When was the schedule changed, because on Monday you were with me all week?" Patrick looked at the screen.

"Yesterday when I came in it was like that." Elizabeth hadn't been aware it had been changed. The surgical nurse shrugged. Yesterday she had been with Patrick.

"I'm going to go find Monica." Patrick said hurrying off.

As he walked away the elevator doors opened. Jason smiled at he looked at his lovely wife. "You're wearing green scrubs." He noted.

"I am." She had dressed with him in mind.

"You can take a break." Jason told Milo.

"Sure thing." He was going to go see if Sabrina could take one as well. Over the past two weeks they had been spending a lot of time together. He was liking her more with each passing day. "Call me when you are done."

"We will." Elizabeth said walking up the hall with her husband's hand in hers. "He is going to visit Sabrina. It's going well."

"Good." Jason was happy for his friend. "I hired a new assistant today."

"Did she get Gina's seal of approval?" Elizabeth would miss Gina. The older woman had decided to retire. She and her husband were moving to New Mexico to be closer to their son. As a farewell and thank you gift Jason had purchased a house for them. Their son had helped by sending the listing of the one they wanted.

"She did." Jason said as they walked into Dr. Meadow's reception area.

"Hey Liz." The receptionist called out marking down that the Morgans had arrived.

Elizabeth waved and took a seat. "Nervous?"

"No. Everything's been going well." Jason leaned in and kissed her. Elizabeth was five weeks along and not much had changed from the last visit. The biggest difference was she wasn't craving blueberries anymore although she did still want them occasionally. Since she had ordered that pizza her desire for pineapple had been steadily on the rise. So Jason was keeping that in the house now. Elizabeth still had no interest in chocolate.

"So what is your new assistant's name?" Elizabeth would have to make sure to stop by and met her. Welcome her to their little family. She would also have to talk to Phillip, who was Francis's assistant, and get his opinion. If nothing else she would met her at Gina's going away party.

"Melissa." Jason had only met her briefly this morning. Gina said she would be a perfect fit at the office, and with Jason's personality. He didn't like to be bothered much at work, so he expected an assistant who could work unsupervised. He also expected them to be very organized so he could find things when they weren't there. Jason occasionally worked late, but preferred his assistant did not. Best of all Melissa could keep her mouth shut about things she saw or heard. She had worked for another family in Rome and wanted to move stateside to be closer to her family in Pennsylvania. But not too close, a short plane ride away was good enough. She said living in New York was better for the life she wanted to lead.

"Elizabeth come on back." Leyla was working in obstetrics. "How are you feeling?"

"Good. You remember Jason." Elizabeth said hopping up on the scale.

"Of course." Leyla said noting the weight. You didn't live in Port Charles and not know who Jason Morgan was. "Here is your cup, you know what to do with it." Leyla said smiling at her co-worker. "Leave it in the bathroom and I'll be right in."

"Yup." Elizabeth and Jason went into the exam room and she got into a gown. She left her sample in the bathroom and came out. Jason lifted her onto the table stealing a kiss as he did. "Are you trying to raise my blood pressure before Leyla takes it?" She asked laughing.

"It's not my fault you are sexy and irresistible." He said ending on a growl. When she blushed a pretty pink he smiled wider. They were having their third child and she still blushed.

Leyla knocked before coming in. She got the blood pressure machine going and stepped into the bathroom. "Urine is good." Leyla said throwing out her gloves. "BP is right on target." Liz could read the machine herself but Leyla treated all patients the same. She found that the more information they had the less stressful these visits were. "Okay. Joyce will be in shortly."

"Thanks." Liz said as her friend stepped out. "Five weeks." She said kissing Jason.

"Will there be an ultrasound this time?" Jason couldn't find much information on what would happen at an appointment this early in the pregnancy.

"Only if Joyce is concerned." Elizabeth told her husband. "The visual wouldn't really change much since the last visit."

There was a knock and Joyce stepped inside. "Hello Morgans."

"Hi Joyce." Elizabeth smiled.

"Dr. Meadows." Jason said holding his wife's hand.

"Everything looks spot on. Your weight is only two pounds under your physical which means no weight loss. BP good, no proteins or sugars in your urine. Stretch out for me." Joyce instructed. She rolled up the gown and gently massaged her patient's stomach. "That is a pregnant uterus." Joyce said smiling. "Don't be surprised if you start showing earlier than with Jake."

"Ten weeks?" Elizabeth guessed repeating what she said to Piph.

Joyce smiled. "Try eight."

"That early?" Elizabeth was surprised, but when she looked at Jason he was grinning. "That makes you happy?"

"I can't wait to see the bump." He admitted looking like an excited kid. "You were beautiful with Jake."

"I think that's lovely." Joyce said smiling. It was a sentiment she heard a lot. Men seemed to love pregnant women. "You are doing great, taking your vitamins?"

"Every night. With Cameron I learned I do better taking the vitamins at night, I did so with Jake too." Elizabeth explained.

"As long as you are taking one every twenty-four hours I'm fine." Joyce had other patients who did the same. "With everything looking so good, and you being here five days out of seven, I'm going to say three weeks for your next appointment with the same restrictions in place."

"Any issues call." Elizabeth said before the doctor could.

"I may have to fight Kelly for you when she gets back." Joyce said smiling. "Make your appointment at the desk."

"Thank you Dr. Meadows." Jason said as the older woman left. He helped Elizabeth down and watched while she put her scrubs on, which required him to take some deep breaths to keep his body in check. Jason called Milo so the guard would meet them back at the hub. "What are you doing for the rest of the afternoon?" It was almost one. Her shift ended at three.

"Exploratory surgery with Dr. Phillips, he is our newest neurosurgery fellow." Elizabeth said as she collected her appointment card.

"Neurosurgeons can do surgery in under eight hours?" Jason thought all of the specialists operations took all day.

"Yes, this is just a look around, shouldn't be more than an hour." Elizabeth said tilting her head up for a kiss as they returned to the hub. "I'll spend my last hour in Piph's office doing some paperwork because she is working nights this week so I was in charge today." The nurses gave her the same respect they gave Piph. They learned early on that Liz was just as tough as their boss. "I'll go throw up, get changed and be home in time to nap." Milo was driving her these days.

"I'll pick up the boys." Jason told her. They were interviewing nannies still so for this week Carly's and Keesha's nannies were joining forces to watch Jake, Meg, and Joss. Cameron would come over when school let out. Today they were at the Jacks estate. Both Keesha and Carly were enjoying the arrangement because their girls were getting to play. AJ had suggested renegotiating the contracts of both women to keep the arrangement going. All the parents were mulling the idea over.

"Sounds good." Elizabeth had started the crock pot before she left this morning. Dinner would be ready thirty minutes after she woke up. The best thing however was that the house would be clean when she got home. As much as she had fought against the idea of a house cleaning service she was loving it. "One more kiss."

Jason leaned down and granted the request. "Behave."

"Okay." Elizabeth gave him her most angelic smile. "So how was your visit?" She asked Milo.

"Very nice. We had coffee in the cafeteria." Milo told Elizabeth. "We are going out Friday night. The boss said you guys were staying in. Any thoughts?" Guarding Elizabeth was great, not only was she not a diva but she had some great date ideas.

"It's supposed to be warmer than normal so you should cook her dinner. Women love a man who can cook." Milo was an excellent cook. "Then go on a sleigh ride." Elizabeth said excited.

"Sleigh ride." Milo wasn't feeling that enthusiastic about that.

"You, her, at night having to sit close to maximize body heat." Elizabeth painted the picture for him just as they reached the washroom.

"A sleigh ride." The guard said smiling. "I'll be in the gallery." This was the only OR the neurosurgeons used so Milo could watch. He was a big Grey's Anatomy fan so this was fascinating for him, and Dr. Phillips always explained what he was doing to the residents, and interns, so Milo didn't get lost. So far Elizabeth hadn't worked in an OR without a gallery so his job was pretty easy right now.

"Call Jason and tell him to give you the number of the company we use." Elizabeth said before heading down the hall to scrub up. "We meet again." She grinned when she passed Dr. Drake.

"Yeah." Patrick was annoyed his meeting with Monica had not gone well. The Chief said he had to share Elizabeth.

"Didn't get your way?" She said trying not to laugh. She knew that it was sharing with Matt that Patrick really didn't like. The two brothers were highly competitive.

"No, but I'm not above bribery. He isn't going to win." Patrick said already forming a plan. With those parting words he walked away.

"This ought to be interesting. Hopefully they can keep from hitting one another this time." Elizabeth said to herself and headed in to wash her hands.

Thanks for the reviews!
