Chapter 8

"Before the boys wake up I want to talk to you." Liz said as she finished getting dressed. They had enjoyed a joint shower and now were getting ready to head to the kitchen to grab some coffee before Cameron and Jake got up.

"Is everything okay?" Jason was sitting in an armchair watching her get ready. She had helped him dress first.

"Yeah." She was in blue jeans, a pink knotted t-shirt, and her favorite pair of tennis shoes. She had the gold heart studs Cameron gave her on her last birthday in her ears. He had gone shopping with Emily to get them. It was a typical mom look for her. She liked to run around with the boys. "Cameron has noticed that you and Jake have the same color eyes."

"Did that upset him?" Jason asked getting up and walking to where Elizabeth was tying her sneakers. If he was going to run around with the boys he should probably get some sneakers as well.

"A little, he was worried about where he fit in." Liz explained to Jason. Those weren't the words their son had used, but that was what he meant. "He wanted to know if you would be upset if he called you daddy like Jake will."

"What did you say?" Jason asked her.

"That you would like to be called daddy." She said smiling up at her guy. "He said he might try it today. I wanted to prepare you because Cameron is going to be nervous. If he catches you off guard, and you respond with silence he might think you don't like it." Silence wouldn't be a strange reaction, because Jason would be soaking up the love.

"Thank you." He leaned forward and kissed her. "I probably would have responded with a goofy grin, which he wouldn't understand. Can we tell him his last name is really Morgan?"

"We certainly can." Liz would need to carve out some private family time for that conversation. While the guys, and Jason's family, all knew the boys were Jason's, Liz didn't want to have this type of talk in front of everyone. "I think knowing that will make him feel like he is really yours."

"Do you want to buy a house?" Jason could see that he surprised her. "Somewhere the boys can run around in the backyard? Or we can play catch." He was looking forward to all those regular dad things. "If we pick something while we are here, it can be secured, and all our things can be moved in before we return. That way we don't have to uproot Cameron again at some point."

"We can look at some listings one night after the boys are sleeping." Liz answered with a smile. She leaned up and kissed him, as she was pulling back they heard Cameron on the monitor.

"Mommy, can I come out now?" The little boy's voice floated across the room.

"I bet he is standing in front of the monitor." She said laughing. "When I first set it up for Jake, I told Cam it worked like a microphone. He used to go in the nursery and just talk into it. Come on, you can watch him get dressed while I get Jake ready for the day."

Jason was laughing as he followed his girl out of the room.

After breakfast Liz, Jason, the boys, and the rest of the crew piled into the cars and headed off to the Seattle Children's Museum at Seattle Center. Described as more of an imaginative indoor play center than museum this was the perfect place to spend part of the day. Cameron would have fun exploring and there was a special section for the littler ones that Jake would have a blast in.

They parked and Liz got the kids ready for the adventure by going over outing rules with Cameron. Namely, no wandering off. There was going to be a lot of things snagging his attention once they got inside, and they would do their best to make sure he saw a good portion of it. But he had to stay with the group.

"Since we are going to be inside, why don't you take the day off?" Liz said to Nadine. "Jason can watch Cameron, Marco and Kyle can back him up. Chris and Lee can keep me and Jake out of trouble."

"Are you sure? I don't mind working." Nadine told her friend. "Places like this can be exhausting." There was a children's museum in Port Charles, but it wasn't this big.

"Cameron will probably want to come back here before we leave, so you'll get your turn." Liz said putting Jake on her hip. "It's a gorgeous day, Cody can play tour guide." She said giving her friend incentive to say yes.

"Promise you'll call if you need me." Nadine wouldn't leave otherwise.

"Cameron, buddy up." Liz told her oldest son. He instantly ran over and took Jason's hand. "I'm positive." Looking over she saw Cody grin. Jason was giving his friend a different version of the same talk. "Don't rush home."

"I'll have him back by curfew." Nadine said laughing. "Have fun."

"You too." Liz walked over to the where her group was waiting. "Ready to have fun?"

"Yeah!" Cameron was excited to go play. "Me and Jake are ready!"

"Let's get to it then." Jason said taking the group over to the main entrance.

"It's pretty empty." Marco observed looking around. He was expecting roving hordes of small children. The thought scared him some, so he was relieved.

"The website said that if you get here early then it would be less crowded. Cameron is good at sharing, but in places like this that can be tested." Liz said grinning. It wasn't just her son, there were a lot of cool things to explore and that meant kids didn't always want to move on. "You will have to suggest Cam leave the first section you guys are going to come to. It has trains, and he will happily play there all day."

"Where will you be?" Jason asked his girl.

"Discovery Bay. It's the area for kids three and under." Liz pointed it out on the map of the building. "Jake will tire out first, so we will come find you when that happens. I figure lunch and then naps at the house followed by the pool this afternoon."

"Good plan." Jason would be happy to nap with his girl. He had a feeling he was going to need the rest.

"Any requests on where to go first?" Cody asked as they pulled out of the parking lot. Liz was slick, he was going to have to keep a close eye on her whenever he was assigned to be her guard. Today though that slickness was working in his favor.

"Would I sound like a complete tourist if I said the Space Needle?" Nadine asked already laughing at herself.

"Not at all. It's actually pretty cool. You will get a great view because there is currently no cloud cover." Cody replied getting in the proper lane to take them there. "I'm guessing that you aren't afraid of heights?" They would be 520 feet off the ground.

"Not at all." Nadine watched the city roll past her window. "I will run you over to get away from a spider though." She turned back and grinned at him.

"Spiders? Didn't you grow up on a farm? Barns are notorious for having spiders." Cody was a Midwesterner himself.

"Which is why they scare me. I've had my share fall onto me, and more spider bites than I care to think about." Nadine let him know. "I don't like them and I don't tolerate them in my space." She didn't kill them but if she found one in her apartment that sucker went outside as quickly as she could manage it.

"Good to know." Cody was hoping to learn a lot about the nurse on this trip. "Anything else I should know?"

"I don't like raw sushi." Nadine was hoping dinner would happen at some point.

"Not my favorite either." Cody would eat it if that was his only option, he just preferred his seafood cooked.

"What about you? Any phobias you would care to talk about?" Nadine figured there wouldn't be many. The man had severed in combat, so she was guessing anything he didn't like he would work to move past.

"No. I don't like jellybeans though." Cody wasn't much on sweets in general, but those he couldn't stand. "Not even the fancy flavored ones."

"I love jellybeans. I have been known to pilfer them from Easter baskets." Nadine said without the least bit of shame.

"I am shocked." Cody said laughing. "I never would have pegged you as a candy thief."

"I know. I look innocent." She said smiling wide. "All the kids in pediatrics get baskets, and a lot of little kids don't like jellybeans. They can be very intense on the taste buds." She explained further.

"You like candy corn too, don't you?" Cody asked as he looked for a parking space. That was another snack food he couldn't stand.

"Yeah." Nadine nodded her head. "Deal breaker?" She joked.

"Do you like licorice?" He parked and looked over at her smiling.

"Not in the least." Nadine really liked looking at him.

"Then I think we are going to be okay. I love licorice." He said laughing as he opened his door. He came around the car and help her down. The smile on his face got even wider when she didn't pull her hand free. It was going to be a great day.

Elizabeth was correct, Jason did have to urge Cameron to leave the trains behind. It helped that there was a whole lot of fun stuff to do in the other sections of the museum.

"Look, a doctor's office." Cameron pointed to the exhibit he wanted to visit next.

"That's really cool. It looks like a real doctor's office, but only for small people." Kyle said looking around. "Is it wrong that I want to play too?"

"Nope." Marco answered checking this new section out.

"You can sit here, and I'll be the doctor." Cameron said looking up. "Okay daddy?" He asked only a little nervous.

"I could use an eye exam." Jason said smiling at his son and trying to resist the urge to yell in happiness.

"Okay." Cameron said smiling wide. "I have to put on the white coat like Aunt Em wears." Once he got situated they got under way.

Jason got an exam, so did Marco and Kyle. Cameron then headed over to the art table where he was able to make custom glasses for everyone from pre-cut cardboard. After that they headed off to the next section.

"If this guy sticks to his normal schedule there should be another attack tonight." Francis said stretching his legs out. They were in O'Brien's office so he was in a wing chair.

"Jason said he worked the guy over pretty good. Having seen our friend in action I'm hoping this asshole is laid up somewhere unable to move." Johnny said shaking his head. "I really want this guy for going after Liz."

"I hear you. Commissioner Ashford wants this guy for going after her officer. Special Agent McBain wants this guy for going after women. Everyone wants him, but no one can seem to find him." Francis had spent a good portion of the night trying to figure out what they were missing. They had copies of all the lab work and police reports, yet they were still coming up blank. "Dee left to go to a conference this morning so I'm breathing a little easier."

"Good. Georgie has the day off and she is at home." Johnny felt better when she was at the Towers. So far no one had been attacked at home. The building was locked down and would stay that way until this asshole was caught.

"You can work from home." Francis told his friend.

"Maxie is over." Johnny didn't have the patience to deal with the blonde.

"Or not." Francis said laughing. "She's doing better. Which isn't saying much because she really couldn't do much worse."

"She is. Somehow Logan was good for her, even in death. Maxi still has a ways to go." Johnny said as he leaned back in his chair. "I have an idea. We know that most of the victims are connected to Sonny. In a city this size a lot of people came into contact with Sonny, and had a good relationship with him. Hell Sonny's grocer could be a target for all we know, they talked almost daily." Their former boss liked to know what was fresh so he could plan his menu accordingly.

"Okay." Francis knew Johnny was thinking out loud.

"We can't watch them all so we need to hone in on those people who are high impact victims. Those that it would have hurt Sonny to lose. And can I say how fucked up it is to target someone because they meant a lot to a dead person." Johnny threw out.

"It takes a special level of crazy to think that way." Francis agreed. "Who are you thinking of?"

"Robin Scorpio. We need to get eyes on her. She has to be on the list." Johnny told his friend. "I'm guessing high up on the list."

"If you give her a guard, then she might take that to mean Jason is interested in her." Francis thought it was a good plan though.

"Georgie said Maxie talked some sense into Robin. Since Maxie has the subtly of a brick I'm going to guess she got her message across. If for no other reason than Robin wouldn't want to hear another lecture. I'm also not talking about a visible guard. I'm thinking a shadow." Johnny told his friend.

"We tried that with Liz." Francis didn't want to lose anyone else.

"I'm calling in a professional." Johnny had tapped a contact. "We need someone good at covert ops."

"You called Shawn?" Francis would like to visit with his friend.

"I did. He'll be here in about an hour. Robin is at work, Shawn can head over after getting a briefing." Johnny explained.

"You are more than a pretty face." Francis liked working with smart people. "I thought that was just an urban legend."

"Don't let that get out." Johnny said getting up to get more coffee.

"How is it going?" Liz walked over to where Jason and the guys were sitting. They were in the Imagination Station, which was really a large art center. Cameron was already in a smock and working on a painting. He was chatting with the little girl sitting next to him. Making friends was not hard for her son.

"Good." Jason smiled at his girl and his son. Jake was leaning heavily on his mother. "Did he have fun?"

"He certainly did. The blocks had him enthralled as did the push toys." Liz said rubbing her youngest son's back. "There was also a puppet show with music so we did some dancing too. When I saw him sitting still for ten minutes I knew he was done." Jake was new to the whole walking thing, but he liked moving around.

"I didn't realize the boys liked music so much." Jason smiled wider when Elizabeth put Jake on his lap.

She sat next to him and opened the diaper bag. "There is almost always music on at the house, the shows they watch have it, and I play it in the car. I'm careful about the radio stations I play when driving around though, not all lyrics are kid friendly." She pulled out a sippy cup from the thermal bag. "Here baby."

Jake took the cup and settled against his dad.

"He's going to fall asleep drinking that. I just changed him before we headed out to find you." Liz began explaining. "So he'll be fine there. When he passes out just put the cup aside. If you promise to stay here, and not pick up your son, I will go spend some time with Cameron."

"We won't move." Jason would love to just hold his little boy for a while. "Cameron called me dad earlier." He had been waiting to tell her this.

Liz just smiled before leaning over and kissing Jason. "Felt good." It wasn't a question.

"Felt amazing." He said smiling at her. "Cameron had some juice about half an hour ago. He wasn't interested in a snack."

"He rarely stops to eat when we are at places like this. He'll eat at lunch. Guys keep an eye on Jason." Liz said to the guards who just grinned at her. With another kiss to Jason and one to Jake she wondered over to where Cameron was sitting.

The guys watched as Cameron helped her get set up. Mother and son were soon both painting and chatting. Liz hadn't hesitated to put on the paper glasses that her son had made for her.

From his seat Jason smiled over at them. This was the first morning they had all spent together, and it was already the best day of his life.

Thanks for the reviews!
