Chapter 54

"Week thirty." Kelly announced walking into the room. "By this point I was really hitting my pregnant stride. Rocking my bump at every available opportunity. I made pregnancy look good." The doctor reminisced. Cody couldn't keep his hands off her, and Kelly didn't mind one bit. "I was a very cute pregnant woman." She said grinning.

"Are you done your stroll down memory lane?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"Snarky?" Kelly looked over at Jason who kept quiet. "I didn't hit that until week thirty-six, but everything does happen earlier with twins. Other than that how are you feeling?"

"Tired." Elizabeth admitted. She'd not slept a lot over the last two weeks. She had almost no energy. Poor Milo usually ended up sitting in the living room watching television while she rested in the recliner. He must be bored out of his mind.

"Perfectly normal." Kelly looked over the chart. "Sickness is still happening?" Elizabeth's weight had gone up, but not by as much as Kelly would have liked to see.

"Yeah, nothing on your list is working." Elizabeth said frowning a bit. "We have resorted to the internet."

"Don't do anything dangerous." Kelly admonished.

"We won't." Jason promised. Some of the stuff people suggested was downright weird.

"I want you to try these." Kelly handed over a box.

"Preggie Pop Drops Plus." Elizabeth looked over at her friend. "We saw these, but haven't gotten around to trying them yet."

"One of my new mommies swears by them. She is also having multiples. They only come in sour fruit, but I'm asking you to give them a try." Kelly had researched them thoroughly just to be sure they were safe. "They also contain B6 which some women swear helps with sickness. Let me know what happens."

"Can't hurt." Jason said looking at his wife.

"No, it can't." Elizabeth put the box in her purse. "I'll try them today."

"Okay. Let me cop a feel." Kelly took a measurement of Liz's tummy, before doing a manual massage. "Ah ha! Baby A has turned." The doctor announced. "Good job mommy."

"What about our little girl?" Jason smiled at the announcement.

"Give me your hand." Kelly said holding out hers. "Have a feel. This is your son's head." She guided Jason's fingers to the lowest point of Elizabeth's stomach. "These are his feet. Here." Kelly moved Jason's hand to his wife's side. "Is your daughter's head, which means her feet are here." Charlotte was still transverse. "At this point it isn't surprising that only one baby is in the proper position. They are running out of room in there. Even if your little girl isn't transverse at the time of labor she will most likely move when her brother gets out of the way."

"Okay." Jason felt better. Now that he knew what to look for he would check to make sure Adam stayed put. His reading mentioned that sometimes babies turned again.

"We will have a quick peek for measurements, and then we will finish up the exam after which I am throwing you two out." Kelly said putting on the gel and applying the wand. "Baby A is just over four pounds and almost eighteen inches. Baby B is three and a half pounds and just under seventeen inches. Still trending toward bigger than normal." Kelly was beginning to suspect that if Elizabeth made it to thirty-six weeks the babies would be around, or over, the five pound mark which would be outstanding for twins. However with the babies bigger than normal they would have to really watch Liz's blood pressure as they got to the end. "You get the fancy pictures in two weeks."

"Are you worried because the babies are big?" Jason asked Kelly.

"Worried no. A healthy weight would be welcome. We just need to make sure mom is doing good as well. At thirty-two weeks you will be coming in every week, so we'll be able to monitor things closely. Jason can you use a blood pressure cuff?" Kelly wanted to know.

"It's been a while, but Elizabeth can make sure I'm doing it right." Jason explained.

"We aren't at that point, and I hope we don't get to that point." Kelly said reaching for gloves. "But I like to have plans in place. I will need you to take her blood pressure at home, if it starts creeping up. With it being a problem with Jake, I have it on my radar. I'm going to do an internal and then the throwing out I promised takes place."

"Will I get cab fare?" Elizabeth rubbed Jason's arm as he helped her scoot down a bit. He was worried. She could tell.

"I'm so good, you'll be paying me." Kelly cracked. "Everything feels good. No dilation. Keep this up." The doctor stood up. "Make an appointment for two weeks, I'll meet you in the ultrasound suite and we'll come here from there."

"Sounds good. Thanks Kelly." Elizabeth said sitting back up, Jason was going to have to help her get her underwear back on.

"It's what I do. Call if you have any questions or issues." Kelly said before walking out of the room.

Back home Jason got her settled in the recliner. "Do you need anything before I go?"

"We are good." Elizabeth promised.

"Do you have your drops?" Jason didn't see them.

"I have one in my pocket." Elizabeth knew Jason was going to tell Milo about them as well.

"Cameron keep an eye on your mom, okay?" Jason told his oldest son. The boys were home today, hanging out with the dogs. Siobhan was in the kitchen getting some coffee and Milo was in the bathroom.

"I will." Cameron said earnestly. He liked having jobs to do to help mommy and the babies.

"Good." Jason gave Elizabeth a kiss. "I'll see you later."

"You will." She said snuggling under her blanket.

"Bye buddy." Jason gave Cameron a kiss. "You too." Jason said before kissing Jake. He was looking forward to being able to stay home in two weeks.

"Dad." Cameron said as Jason walked toward the doorway.

"Yeah?" He stopped to give Cameron his full attention.

"You forgot the babies." The little boy pointed to his mom's tummy.

"Forgot what about the babies?" Jason wanted to know.

"You didn't give the babies any kisses." Cameron was totally serious. He and Jake both kissed the babies in the morning before leaving and at night before going to bed.

"Oh." Jason said smiling. Cameron was a good big brother. "Can't forget the babies." He came over and gave his wife's tummy a kiss.

"There are two babies daddy." Cameron reminded him. You had to do these things the right way.

"Yes, there are." Jason gave Elizabeth's stomach another kiss. "Thank you for reminding me." Since he was here he gave Elizabeth another soft kiss. "I love you."

"I love you." Elizabeth said trying not to laugh. "See you later."

"Everything okay with Elizabeth?" Francis asked walking into Jason's office.

"Yup. Kelly said Elizabeth and the babies are doing well." Jason confirmed. He was trying to stay focused, but his mind was back home.

"We are officially done with our German friend." Francis said taking a seat. "He said thank you, and that we did a great job, but it's just easier to bring his merchandise in through Baltimore. So he will not be renewing his contract."

"Thank god for small favors." Jason said what Francis was thinking. "Hopefully that relationship will work out. Even if it doesn't we will not be doing business with him again."

"No we will not." Francis believed in the customer first model, but he wasn't going to risk going to jail for any of them. "You don't have to stay."

"What?" Jason had zoned out.

Francis smiled wide. "Why don't you start your time off today? Everything is running smoothly. You can work from home a few hours a day if you feel the need, but honestly it isn't necessary."

"You trying to get rid of me?" Jason joked.

"Dee and I have been reading up on twins." Francis started, he knew Johnny and Milo were doing some reading too. Hell they probably all were. "They normally come early, you should be home."

"Kelly is hoping we make it thirty-six weeks." Jason passed along. "But she said thirty-two weeks isn't unheard of."

"Look me in the eye and tell me you don't want to be home." Francis said to his friend.

"I can't." Jason threw down his pen. "I'm not sure Elizabeth wants me home." He said sheepishly.

"Hovering?" Francis asked smirking.

"Big time." Jason said fighting a blush. Last night he had insisted on walking her to the bathroom. "She may end up hurting me if I'm home all day."

"Is the nursery ready?" Francis thought that would keep Jason busy for a bit.

"Unless the babies come early I can't set it up yet. Elizabeth thinks its bad luck to have the room ready before she is eight months pregnant." While she hadn't said anything he knew that both of the babies she had lost were late in term.

"Let's go with the work option. Elizabeth is doing better with Melissa, so we can set up a fully functioning office in the house." Francis proposed. "You have enough room for another desk in your home office." When Jason started to protest Francis tried another plan. "Or you can just work from home, and Melissa can hold down the fort here. Runners can go between here and your house if it's necessary."

"That isn't fair to Melissa for me to leave before the date we decided on." Jason told his partner.

"Hold on." Francis got up and went to the door. "Melissa would you join us."

"Sure thing." The blonde grabbed a steno pad figuring she was needed to take notes.

"Have a seat." Francis and Jason sat after Melissa did. "We are trying to figure out how to work it so that Jason can go on leave now."

"We already have a plan for when you leave in two weeks, I don't see how it would hurt anything if you left now." Melissa said looking between the two men.

"There were things I planned on having done before then." Jason didn't want to over work the staff.

"Take it with you." Francis said slowly. "Do you have any problem either sending things out to Jason or taking them yourself if necessary?" He asked Melissa.

"Not at all. I work for you, so whatever you decide I will adapt too." Melissa told her bosses. Honestly whatever they decided to do would work, because she had never met two men more adept at planning than Jason Morgan and Francis Corelli. "I just don't want to stress Elizabeth." The two women were doing better and now on a first name basis. "I'm guessing she will like having you close."

"Will you at least miss me?" Jason said making puppy dog eyes.

"Every day." Francis laughed. "I'll come by the office once a day and sigh heavily. I'll have Melissa or Phillip record it. Pack up whatever you planned on doing today and go home to your wife. Rescue Milo from the television remote control."

"Fine." Jason said grabbing his messenger bag and gathering up some contracts. "Thanks."

"I love her too." Francis reminded his friend.

"Melissa don't let Francis work you too hard, and leave at five while I'm out." Jason instructed.

"Understood." Melissa went back to her desk.

Packed Jason picked up the phone. "I'm going to start working from the house today, so I'm on my way back. Did you need me to stop off and pick up anything?"

"No." Elizabeth wondered why the change, but at the same time she was happy about it. Having Jason closer would make her feel better.

"I'll talk to Milo when I get there." Jason told his wife. The young guard would most likely want to stay on this assignment and that was fine. They just needed to figure out his hours and such. "See you when I get in."

"Okay." Elizabeth said hanging up the phone. She scooted to the edge of the recliner and Milo was there to help her up. Since she didn't say anything he would know it was one of her many trips to the bathroom. Last week he had requested that if she wanted a snack or drink she ask him to get it. Milo explained he knew she didn't expect him to wait on her, but he would feel better if she didn't move around too much. She made him nervous, which Elizabeth found to be hilarious.

Jason came home and got settled. Since he fully intended to spend most of the day working, he asked Milo to stay with Elizabeth. It might be overkill to have the guard in the living room while he was down the hall, but Jason's home office was soundproofed and he wouldn't hear Elizabeth if she yelled for help.

At four a runner arrived to take anything Jason wanted filed to the office. In the morning at nine someone would bring over anything Melissa felt her boss needed to look over, and the same thing would happen again at one. Jason would only go in if it was truly necessary. This routine would stay in place until the twins were two months old. That first day back in the office was going to be hard.

"Jason you don't have to get up when I go to the bathroom." Elizabeth said getting back in bed. Sleeping wasn't the easiest thing these days, there was no comfortable position to rest in. Sitting up she reached for her tablet. It was romper room time in her uterus, and hopefully some music would get the babies to relax.

"What are they listening to right now?" Jason was amused by the fact that the babies seemed to respond to music. Certain artist seem to make them move more than others.

"Enya. It calms them down." Elizabeth put the headphones on the elastic strap around her tummy and opened the music app.

"Would you like a snack?" Jason said sitting up too. It was almost one, but if she was hungry he'd get her something. Kelly said it wouldn't be a bad thing if Elizabeth gained more weight.

She gave it some thought. Dinner had been great, the Preggie Pop Drops had actually worked, so Elizabeth was hungry when they gathered around the table. Something that didn't happen on the days she got sick. Tonight's snack had been grapes. Now she was in the mood for… "I would love a slice of Cook's chocolate cake."

"Really? You want chocolate?" Jason was surprised.

"Yes." Elizabeth's mouth was actually watering at the thought of the decadent treat.

"Okay." Jason threw the covers back. "Stay in bed." He said pulling on his jeans as his wife nodded. "A glass of milk with that?"

"Yes, please." Elizabeth responded. "I feel bad that you are going to have to wake someone up to get it."

"Don't worry about that." Jason slipped on his boots and gave his wife a kiss. He knew how to get in and out of the mansion without being detected, it was how he used to visit Lila. He was concerned that Cook would kill him for violating her kitchen. The woman was scary.

The drive over was quick, and all thoughts of breaking in fled when as he was getting out of his car because Maya pulled up in hers. "It's late for a visit." The intern said to her cousin. She was just getting off work. Seeing her cousin was surprising. "Is something wrong?"

"Everything is fine, I'm here to steal some chocolate cake." Jason reported holding up Elizabeth's cake carrier.

"Good thing I pulled up when I did. I can stitch you up when Cook stabs you." Maya joked letting them both in the house. They quietly walked across the front hall, and she stood watch while Jason swiped the cake. He simply took the whole thing because he wasn't brave enough to dirty a knife. Walking out he found Maya and AJ.

"Grand theft dessert?" AJ quipped.

"Elizabeth wants cake." Jason said without batting an eye.

"Cook is going to have a cow in the morning." AJ said wondering if it would be unmanly to hide behind Meg.

"Give me a piece of paper." Jason told his brother. AJ went to his off office and quickly returned. Maya just stood and watched them trying not to laugh. A mobster and a media mogul were terrified of a woman who was just over five feet tall.

"Here. I'll hold the cake." AJ took the carrier. "She finally wants chocolate."

"Not just chocolate, but that cake. Elizabeth was very specific." Jason wrote the note and showed it to his accomplices. 'Thank you for the cake. Elizabeth woke up and very much wanted some. Nothing else would do'.

"Flattery. Nice. Cook likes Elizabeth." AJ said when his brother returned from placing the paper on the cutting board.

"I need to get this home." Jason didn't want to keep his wife waiting.

"We will try to get out to visit this week." AJ walked his brother to the door. "I'll bring you a key so you don't have to break in if Maya isn't around." He said laughing.

"I'd rather face Mac, than Elizabeth with an unsatisfied craving." Jason grinned before hopping in the car and heading home.

Thanks for the reviews!
