Not Safe For Work

Chapter 43

Jason closed the door behind him and walked into the house. His lovely wife should be upstairs waiting for him. He'd gotten a call stating it wasn't necessary to pick her up as she was leaving early. On the table in the living room were a stack of binders, so he was guessing she had some homework to do. The point of sending Mel to the hospital was to make it so Elizabeth didn't have to do too much. This first month would be the busiest for her and Edward.

He hung up his coat and headed upstairs. He stepped into the bedroom and was met with the sound of crying. On the bed Elizabeth was curled up in a ball sobbing. Over their many lunches between plotting about their mother AJ had given Jason a crash course in pregnancy, the stuff that the books failed to mention. The books said mood swings, what really happened was your wife crying over something and you had no idea why. AJ said Keesha cried at the drop of a hat while carrying Meg. Cody said the same thing about Kelly. This was two days in a row Elizabeth had cried. Yesterday it had been his fault. If his grandfather was correct today it was because of Mel.

Kicking off his shoes he got on the bed and curled around his wife. The minute his arms came around her she turned and hugged him tight. "I'm a bitch." She said through her tears.

"Why?" Jason wasn't going to argue, but instead he urged her to get it out.

"I don't like Melissa, and it isn't even her fault." Elizabeth said crying harder.

"Ssh. Relax." Jason said rubbing circles on her back. "Take a deep breath. Tell me why you don't like Mel." It surprised him to hear his wife say that. She didn't even really know Mel they had talked only the one time before today, at Gina's party. Snap judgments about people she didn't know weren't something his girl made.

"She's just like Sarah." Elizabeth said burying her face against Jason's chest. "It's not her fault she's perfect. With her six languages and super organizational skills. She was there ten minutes and Edward was telling her how glad he was she had come over. First she took you and now she's taking him."

Jason was surprised by that statement. "Mel hasn't taken me."

"Sure she hasn't. I know how women like her think. They think the world is theirs for the taking. They see a guy and it doesn't matter that he belongs to someone else they want him so they just take him. I can't compete with her, just like I couldn't compete with Sarah. Even if I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't be on her level." Elizabeth was so upset that she wasn't monitoring what she was saying. It was just pouring out of her in one emotional rush.

"Elizabeth." Jason said trying to raise her head so he could look at her but she wasn't having it. Not wanting to hurt her he simply scooted down until they were eye to eye. When she tried to turn her head he held her chin. "Look at me."

Elizabeth turned her blue eyes to him.

"Is this why you thought I didn't want to have sex, because I was interested in Mel?" Jason wanted to know.

"No, I know you wouldn't cheat on me." She told him.

"So you thought I was going to come home one day and say I was leaving?" Jason asked trying to get to the root of the issue.

"No." Elizabeth told him.

"Then what's the problem?" Jason was confused.

"Melissa is the problem. I just can't stand her." Elizabeth said crying again. "I'm sorry."

Jason gave in and laughed. "Don't apologize." He said holding her tight. "Did I ever tell you that Kelly threw Cody out one night?" Jason told his lovely wife. "The guys all went down to shoot pool and keep him company. He said his beautiful and pregnant wife had a case of temporary insanity. When he found out you were pregnant he told me to expect it. He ended up staying in Francis's guest room. I can tell him that while you did go off the deep end, you knew I wasn't cheating." Jason grinned at her. "Do you want me to let Melissa go?"

"No, that isn't fair to her but it would help if I didn't have to deal with her perfectness every day. At least until I'm not hormonal and crazy." Elizabeth knew it was irrational but she just didn't want to be around Melissa. Just being in the same room with the other woman had all her childhood insecurities bubbling up to the surface. "Edward will be crushed though. He really likes her."

"Melissa really can help you and Edward both." His grandfather had retired because the doctors wanted him to slow down. Jason didn't want the older man overdoing either. "So how about we try this? Half a day. Mel can work with grandfather in the morning and you can work on your part of the project. After lunch she'll come back to the office. Maybe you'll even find something about her to like." Jason suggested as a compromise. "I don't want you or Edward overworked."

"Alright. I'm willing to try." Elizabeth sighed. She couldn't argue with the fact that he wanted to take care of her. She also knew Edward needed to take it easy. If Melissa could help with that she could stay. "I've ruined our afternoon."

"No you haven't. I think that it's hot that you were jealous." Jason grinned. She had said he belonged to her. He loved hearing that.

"I said I knew you wouldn't cheat on me." Elizabeth repeated.

"I know." Just to clear the air he explained why his assistant was working late. "Melissa speaks fluent German, our problem client is German. Francis was in the office with us every night."

"Melissa mentioned that she was translating. You don't have to explain." Elizabeth trusted her husband.

"Thank you for trusting me." He said smiling.

"You're welcome. Thanks for not having me committed." Elizabeth said giving him a small smile.

Jason tapped his lips and she didn't hesitate to kiss him. "Let me get you a cloth." He came back with a warm cloth and wiped her tears from her face. "Now if I recall we are supposed to be working on seeing if sex helps with your nausea or are you too tired."

"No." She told him.

"Good." Jason said before tossing the cloth aside and kissing her. This afternoon would be slow and gentle. It was what she needed after the day of raging emotions. "I love you my pretty girl." He said on a soft whisper as he pulled the zipper on her dress down. "Have I told you I love that you are wearing clothes that show off your bump more? It's so sexy, I can barely concentrate when you are anywhere near me." He kissed her shoulders when the dress slipped down. He stripped her bare and then just looked at her. "Beautiful. If I could paint this is how I would show you. Soft and ripe with our children." Jason kissed her belly before lowering his head and bestowing upon her a more intimate kiss. After she came he stripped down and gently joined them.

"It's so good." Elizabeth cried out.

Jason's hand found her breast and gently massaged as his cock pushed deep inside her channel. She was making these breathy moans and it was driving him insane. Everything about her made him burn. "Now Elizabeth." The rounder she got the less control he had. She pushed him from calm to exploding in a matter of heartbeats.

Elizabeth gave a low groan and tightened around his engorged shaft. When he emptied inside her she came again. "So good." She moaned.

"It is." Jason put his arm around her and held her close. "It's always so good." He kissed behind her ear and she shivered. Just as gently as he joined them he pulled from her. "Sleep." After sex she always napped.

"Stay?" She asked relaxing.

"Until it's time to get the boys." He promised.

Elizabeth woke to giggles. Opening her eyes she saw Jake was on the bed watching her sleep. "Ma." The little boy said before laughing again. He was such a happy child. He was quiet by nature, just like Jason but he smiled and laughed often. Especially when he was with Cameron.

"Hi baby." Elizabeth gave him a sleepy smile. Jason must be somewhere close because Jake couldn't get up on the bed without help.

"She's awake daddy." Cameron yelled from the doorway.

"'Okay." Jason's voice floated up. He appeared carrying Cameron over his shoulder. "Hey you."

"Hi." Elizabeth rolled over and was thankful that at some point she had put on one of Jason's shirts. "What's up?" This was a wonderful way to wake up, but not usual.

"Its date night!" Cameron yelled.

"DA!" Jake yelled too. He didn't want to be left out.

"Date night?" Elizabeth said still shaking off the cobwebs.

"Kiss your mother Jake." Jason instructed and when his son did Cameron demanded to be set down so he could as well. "Aunt Emily will be here in a little bit."

"Emily?" Elizabeth really felt like she was missing some pieces.

"Emily and Matt are all moved in at the cottage, so they are having a sleepover with the boys to celebrate. The crew brought over the boys furniture from the mansion. While they are having their slumber party, you and I are going out to dinner. So you need to get dressed." Jason explained leaning over and kissing her. It had been a while since he took her out. He needed to do better.

Elizabeth sat up. "Jason you don't have to take me out." She said sitting up.

He kissed her again as his phone buzzed. "Hold that thought. Emily is here." He threw Cam back over his shoulder and grabbed Jake under his free arm. "I'll be back." The giggling boys were taken downstairs and passed over to their aunt and uncle.

While they were gone Elizabeth did a self-check. She felt good. Placing her hand on her tummy she talked to the babies. "Mommy went off the deep end a bit this afternoon. Don't worry I'm not usually like that. Normally I'm a lot more in control."

"You didn't go that far off the deep end." Jason said coming back. "Your mommy is fine." Jason said placing his hand over hers and talking to the twins. "She does however have a bad habit of holding things inside, just like daddy has a bad habit of not always paying attention. We are going to love you two with everything in us, but we aren't perfect. Now about tonight."

"Jason I know that you need to work late, and that sometimes Mel will have to stay." Elizabeth told him. "I trust you, I don't need you to take me out to dinner. I'd be happy to cook."

Jason smiled. "My taking you out to dinner isn't about what you said earlier. I know you trust me. Just like I know we haven't been out on a date since before Thanksgiving." He had actually winced when he realized that while she was napping. "We used to go out once a week. I like date night, I like having just us time."

"I do miss that, but around the holidays things can get a bit rushed." Elizabeth should have done better too.

"Not an excuse. You are so important to me, and I want you to know that. Date night is my chance to do that. You are always doing little things for me. Putting notes in my lunch, making sure that when the games are on I get to watch them uninterrupted, when my six ball's paint got chipped you replaced it. I didn't even realized you had noticed because the scratch was small. I know you are thinking of me. I need for you to know I am thinking of you. I need to show you that." He had been thinking on this since that day in Kelly's office.

"Promise me you won't feel guilty if we can't go out when the babies come." Elizabeth didn't want him to think that she needed to come before the kids.

"We are getting a nanny, so if nothing else we will have time to go get some coffee by ourselves." Jason told her. Making time for just them would be a priority. "Besides once the babies come we'll be lucky to even see them. I had to start throwing people out after Jake was born, and you remember what happened?"

Elizabeth giggled, sounding just like Jake. "They almost got away with it."

Jason shook his head thinking back. He had finally had enough of all the visitors so one afternoon when it seemed all their friends were over Jason had simply told everyone to get out. In all the hustle and bustle of everyone leaving Emily and Matt had put on Cameron's jacket and taken him with them. They didn't even make it to the gate before Jason noticed his eldest son was not in the house. "They tried to kidnap our son." He laughed.

"They did not." Elizabeth said laughing harder. "Em swears they would have brought him back before dinner. Our boys are loved."

"Yeah they are, go get dressed." Jason would use the bathroom down the hall.

"Where are we going?" Elizabeth asked getting out of bed.

"It's a surprise." Jason grinned.

"How will I know what to wear?" Elizabeth just looked at her husband.

"I will lay out your clothing for you." Jason grinned back at her. Not all date nights were dressy. Her favorite ones were when they went on long bike rides. Something that wasn't an option at the moment.

"You're sexy when you get all sneaky." She said giving him a quick kiss. "I'll go shower."

When the water came on Jason walked into his wife's closet and pulled out a dress. She could pick everything else. Whistling he gathered up his things and headed down the hall. Date night with his girl, he couldn't wait.

Thanks for the reviews!
