Chapter 55

"You are doing an excellent job." Jason said stealing a kiss as he helped Elizabeth into the car. They were driving his Benz today because getting in and out of the SUV's was too hard for his wife now.

"It's all that couch sitting." She laughed buckling up.

"I know that you are tired and uncomfortable." Jason said pulling out of the space. "But you haven't complained once."

"I want this as much as you, so complaining is pointless." Elizabeth said reclining her seat a bit.

They had just come from the hospital for another visit. Week thirty-two. She and the babies were doing great. Blood pressure right where it should be, weight in the proper range, iron levels on target, and babies that were still trending toward above average in size. The goal of thirty-six weeks was in sight. Kelly said that it could be any day now and that the twins would most likely be fine despite being preemies, but Elizabeth was going to hold these babies in until their chances were better than 'most likely'.

"The guys are coming over today to put the nursery together. I'm going to put you in our bedroom so that you can come in and boss us around when the furniture is put together." Jason grinned at her while they were stopped at the light.

"Is Milo going to sit and watch me?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"Nope, he'll be in grunting with us." Jason announced. "I got you an extra special babysitter today."

"Very funny. Don't keep Milo too late he is leaving at three to pick up Sabrina for their trip." Elizabeth reminded her husband as she rolled her eyes. "If you leave me downstairs I can wash all the baby stuff." She offered. That included some of the baby clothes. Diane had gotten them a wide range of sizes in the outfits. From newborn, since twins were usually small, up to one T. Francis had said his wife had a little too much fun shopping. He was worried she was going to want a baby too. Diane had quickly corrected that assumption.

"Did I mention that some of the wives are coming too?" Jason knew that he hadn't. "They will handle the washing of everything. You will rest. We are in the home stretch, so soon you'll be back to running around the house keeping us all in shape." He knew the inactivity was getting to her.

"I'm not going to whine about it." Elizabeth told him.

"We are in the car, and it's just us. So go ahead." Jason prompted.

Elizabeth took a deep breath. "I feel useless. I couldn't even make lunch for the boys the other day because I was too tired to get off the couch. I'm not sleeping at night because I can't get comfortable. I haven't seen my feet in months. I can't even sleep in your shirts anymore because they don't fit around my stomach. I'm huge Jason, seriously huge." It wasn't a criticism it was a fact. "And I'm tired of being pregnant. I feel so bad saying that, but I feel like I've been carrying these babies forever." She was crying as they pulled up in front of the house.

"Feel better?" Jason gently wiped the tears from her cheeks as more fell.

"Yes, thank you." Elizabeth said crying harder.

The door to the car opened and Milo looked over at his boss. "What did you do to her?" Elizabeth had been fine at the hospital.

She started to really sob, which made Jason want to laugh at the situation. However he was pretty certain that Milo would kick his ass if he did. He'd have help because Francis, Johnny, Matt, Cody, and Jax were all standing in front of the house glaring at him too. "She needed to cry." He tried to explain.

"Oh." Milo said standing up. It didn't take much to get this reaction. The other day they were watching Bass Masters and she cried when the winner was announced.

Jason got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side, squatting down he looked at his girl. She was just beautiful. "Do you want me to carry you in?"

"No." Elizabeth sniffed. "I can waddle on my own."

"I like your waddle." Jason said helping her unbuckle. "And for the record your feet are still there, and very cute. If you want I'll paint your toenails later."

"Really. You would do that for me?" Elizabeth giggled at the mental image that conjured up.

"I certainly would." Luckily she wouldn't be able to see them because he was probably going to do not so great of a job.

"That's okay." Elizabeth leaned into him. "Thanks."

"Give a holler if you change your mind." Jason said escorting her into the house.

"You sit and watch television, your sitter will be here shortly." Jason said dropping a kiss to her soft lips.

"Do I get a hint?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"It's not Cameron or Jake." Jason replied.

"I know, they are at the petting zoo, with the rest of the gang." The nannies had been planning this outing for a while now. "Give me a better hint."

There was a knock on the door. "I don't have to."

"Do I need to close my eyes?" Elizabeth asked playing along.

"Nope." Jason opened the door and came back with their visitor.

For the second time in under thirty minutes she burst into tears. "Mom?"

"Hi sweetie." Carolyn Webber came over and urged her daughter to sit back down.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were in Africa." Elizabeth gripped her mother tight.

"I was, but I spent the last two weeks in Memphis making sure I was okay to come here." Steven had run every blood test known to man to make sure his mother wasn't carrying any illnesses that would hurt Liz or the twins. "I got the all clear two days ago. I flew in last night. I wanted to be here for the birth of my newest grandchildren." Carolyn explained. She had been careless with Elizabeth, and wanted to do better. "Dad is coming in two weeks. He landed in Memphis this morning." Carolyn was allowed to wave to her husband, but Steven wouldn't let her near Jeff. Just in case the other Dr. Webber was sick.

"Thank you." Elizabeth said resting her head on her mother's shoulder.

The fact that Elizabeth needed to say that told Carolyn how badly she and Jeff screwed up. It should be a given for a daughter to expect her mom to be there when she gives birth. "We are planning to stay for a bit after the babies come, if you don't mind."

"I would love that." Elizabeth said smiling.

"Where are my other grandbabies?" Carolyn asked, the house had been quiet.

"Out with their cousins. They will be home for dinner." Elizabeth was going to take as many pictures as everyone could tolerate.

"Good. Jason go build stuff, and we will play catch up." Carolyn said shooing him out. "You look beautiful." She said placing her hand on Elizabeth's stomach. "They are active."

"Yes, a girl and a boy. I'm sure Steven told you that." Elizabeth couldn't believe her mother was here.

"Actually he didn't. He wouldn't tell me anything, which is fine because that means you can. What week are you in?" Carolyn went into doctor mode. Her specialty was orthopedics, but she had delivered her share of babies while in the bush.

"Thirty-two this morning." Elizabeth answered. "Everything is good, I can have Kelly send you my chart."

"Not necessary. Kelly Lee knows her stuff." Carolyn had checked, her daughter was in good hands. "Steven said you had names, but weren't sharing them."

"We do, and no we aren't." Elizabeth laughed. "Nice try though."

"You can't fault me for giving it a go." Carolyn laughed. "Are those photo albums I see on the book shelf?"

"They are, if you go get one we can look at some pictures. You can see Cameron and Jake as babies." Elizabeth loved sharing those pictures.

"Let me grab some." Carolyn had missed so much. Maybe there was a way she didn't have to miss anymore. Both hers and Jeff's tenure with Doctors without Borders were up, that was how they were able to come to Port Charles. She would have to speak with Monica and see if maybe there was room on the staff for another surgeon.

"Okay, how are we doing this?" Jason looked at his brother, Cody, and Jax. "You three have done this before so where is the best place to start?" Elizabeth already had a nursery set up for Jake but the time Jason came home.

"That depends on how frustrated you want to be." AJ said grinning. "Cribs are insanely hard to put together. So I did that last."

"I'll take one and Jason will take the other one." Johnny said grabbing a box. They could both dismantle a car engine blindfolded they could assemble cribs. With that announcement the guys started grabbing boxes. Michael had opted to tag along with his dad and they let him put together the shelves that would house books, toys, and anything else Elizabeth wanted it to.

"Who is downstairs?" Jason had brought Elizabeth right upstairs and the ladies were already in the house by the time he got his wife out of the car.

"Keesha, Emily, Carly, and Maya." Matt answered. He had changing tables. Spreading out the directions he made sure everything was accounted for and got started.

Jax and AJ each had a glider and Francis was working on the stroller. Cody grabbed the car seats and headed down to the minivan to install those, the baby mirrors, and the shades that kept sun off the babies. After he would come back up and start on the wardrobes.

"Oh look at this. It's too cute!" Emily exclaimed holding up a jumper with a hood that had bear ears on it. "I love baby clothes."

"Who doesn't?" Carly said loading up the washer. "I swear it was helping Elizabeth get all of Jake's things ready that made me want to have Joss. How are things going on that front with you and Matt?"

"Still working on those boundaries." Keesha ribbed Carly.

"Please, everyone knows they are trying." Carly never met a question she felt uncomfortable asking.

"Nothing to report just yet. When I finally do get knocked up, I hope to do a better job of hiding it than Liz did." Emily removed more tags for the purchases.

"You won't." Maya told her. "Because of the surgical schedule, everyone will know." Emily was going to be watched carefully because of her past medical history. "We'll just pretend like we did with Liz."

"You have anything to report?" Carly asked Maya.

"Uh no." The intern said shaking her head for emphasis. "One Johnny and I aren't there yet, and two I'm about to start my first year of residency having a baby now would be insane." She didn't even know if Johnny wanted kids. It was a conversation that would come up eventually, but there was no need for them to talk about it right now.

"Robin had her baby right?" Carly tried to keep up on her gossip.

"A little girl, she looks just like Robin." Emily was happy for her friend. "Everyone is healthy."

"Good." Carly said holding up a small pair of blue jeans.

"That was very mature of you." Keesha said a bit surprised.

"I can't stand Robin, and her holier than thou attitude, but I don't wish her or her baby harm." Carly replied. "I know what it feels like to worry about if your baby will be okay. It's not a fun feeling."

Keesha had gratefully sailed through her pregnancy with Meg. Hopefully this next baby would be the same. It was too soon to make her announcement, but she was looking forward to sharing their good news with the family. "Who was the older woman that went upstairs?"

"Dr. Carolyn Webber. Elizabeth's absentee mom." Emily told her friends. She was not a fan of Liz's parents, but would be polite. Unless they hurt her friend again, and then it was all bets off. "I can't stand how cute this is." It was a small dress in pale green with a pair of matching ruffled panties. "My goddaughter is going to be so cute."

"Whoa, there. Slow your roll missy. That's my goddaughter." Carly instantly corrected.

"I don't think so." Emily said glaring at the blonde.

"You have Jake." Keesha pointed to Carly. "And you have Cameron." She pointed to Emily. Elizabeth had decided to just name Carly as Jake's godmother so that the two women wouldn't fight over who got to babysit. "So at least one of those babies is mine. I'm guessing the other one is Diane's."

"Diane is not going to baby sit." Carly huffed. "I think she's allergic to diapers."

"She is not." Emily laughed. "We will ask Elizabeth."

"No you will not." Kelly said from the doorway. "Oh my, that is adorable." She pointed to the dress Emily was holding. "I spent forty-five minutes in the baby girl section dreaming when I found out I was pregnant, then I went to boy's section and did the same thing. I want a little girl next. No asking Elizabeth questions that will stress her out. We are almost at our goal, none of you will cause problems. Is that clear?"

"Yes." Emily said pouting.

"Carly?" Kelly leveled her death glare. A look Carly knew from her last pregnancy.

"Fine." Carly agreed. One of those babies was her godchild, that was all there was too it.

"Now, I'm going to check on my patient, since I've already ogled my husband's very fine ass." Cody was bent over putting in the car seats when she arrived. "Behave." The doctor instructed before walking upstairs.

Maya looked at the two pouting women, and then at her cousin. Both women snickered before removing more price tags.

"Ready to come boss us around?" Jason asked walking back into the master suite.

"I am." Elizabeth was sucking on a drop. They were still working which was a relief. "You guys did that fast."

"Having three dads, and Johnny helped." Jason could have done it alone, but it would have taken a couple of days. AJ hadn't been lying the crib took a while to assemble because it had about a million parts. "Where do you want everything?" He asked his wife.

The ladies had come upstairs with several laundry baskets of clothing and were putting them in the proper closets. The pocket doors were open and Elizabeth was getting the full effect of what the rooms would look like. "Put the cribs in the center of the room." She started there. Last week they had decided on putting the cribs next to one another in the beginning. "Can the wardrobes go in the closets?"

"They can." Francis answered as he grabbed one, and Cody with Matt's help took the other one over to the green room.

Between each piece of furniture being placed Elizabeth closed her eye and visualized the room. Once something was placed it didn't have to be moved and in about fifteen minutes both nurseries were done. "What do you think?" She asked Jason.

"I think it's perfect." With the cribs between the rooms the doors would have to remain open making it one large space that still honored the fact that the twins were separate individuals. "I'll attach the monitors to the cribs later on tonight."

"That's fine." Elizabeth looked up at him and he placed his hand on her tummy. Their friends, and family quietly left the room to give them a moment alone. "We are having two babies." She said smiling.

"We are." Jason leaned over and kissed her as their daughter kicked against his palm.

Thanks for the reviews!
