Chapter 18

Liz left a single message on both Georgie's and Johnny's phones. They routinely checked their devices and would call her when they could, so there was no need to fill up their voice mail boxes. On the flight home Jason spoke with Francis again getting more information and when he hung up the mob boss told his fiancée that Georgie had spoken to Diego to help set the trap. Liz just nodded, she was worried about her friend yet at the same time she trusted Johnny to take care of Georgie. Liz would just feel better after checking as well, Georgie was family and they took care of each other.

"Do you want to leave the boys with me?" Nadine asked as they walked through the terminal in Port Charles.

"I haven't heard from Georgie yet." Liz said as she shook her head no.

"Monica is already expecting Cameron and Jake to come to the mansion today." Jason filled in as they got to the cars. "She will hurt me if I back out." He said chuckling. "Apparently she has missed the boys."

"I'm sure they missed her too." Liz knew that Cameron loved visiting the mansion. "Should we go right over?"

"We can go to the house first. My mother has a lecture at PCU this morning." He knew that because he sat on the hospital board, having taken Sonny's seat. He was going to suggest to Elizabeth that she take his spot. She would be a much bigger asset to that room than him.

"Thank you though." Liz said hugging her friend. "Cody is off today." She whispered.

"I know." Nadine said fighting off a blush. She had told him that if Liz didn't need a babysitter then she would happily accept his offer to spend part of the day together. "I'm around if you need a sitter."

"I'll keep that in mind." Liz said before getting in the car. She was driving and Marco along with Chris would be following them out.

"Ready to go home?" Jason asked grinning.

"So ready. I still can't believe we are going to live there. Did you ask your mother about us staying at the mansion for a few days?" Liz didn't think it would be an issue. "Otherwise we will need sleeping bags."

"It won't come to that, although a camp out sounds like fun. Right Cam?" Jason looked back at his son.

"I've never been camping." Cameron responded excited.

"That's all you." Liz said before starting the car. She was guessing Jason had a crew standing by, if he hadn't already had her furniture moved in. While her minivan was a good size, this car was huge and she took a minute to play with all the knobs. "Okay." She said ready, after a tap to the horn and response from Marco they left the garage.

"Who lives here daddy?" Cameron asked looking at the big house. He liked the porch.

"We do." Jason said placing a hand on the little boy's soft curls. "Now that we are a family we will be living together. Okay?"

"Okay." Cameron was glad about that. "Can we go inside?"

"I think that is a great idea." Liz had Jake on her hip and followed her other guys up the walkway that connected to the driveway.

"When I get the all clear I will carry you over the threshold." Jason promised as he unlocked the door.

"Okay." She wasn't going to argue. With Cameron's hand in hers they walked in the large cool foyer while Jason dealt with the alarm system. She looked over the walls and nodded her approval of the paint job. The gleaming hardwood floors caught her attention and she made a mental note to get runners. The stairs already had baby gates which let her know the house had been childproofed. "How about we check out the bedrooms first?"

"I was just going to suggest that." Jason had surprises for them upstairs.

"The living room is empty." She noted as they walked by. "I thought you might have had my things brought over."

"I had your place packed up, cleaned, and listed." He confirmed. "Everything is in storage. You can decide what you want to bring over, or you can get all new items." He just wanted her happy.

"I need to walk the house." Liz said smiling as they reached the second story. More gleaming hardwood floors greeted them. "You said there are five bedrooms?"

"Yes, the master is down the hall and to the right." Jason would show her that last. "The master bath is attached to it." He made himself stop talking and take a deep breath because he was nervous. "Cameron's room is right here."

"You picked rooms for the boys?" Liz hadn't expected that.

"I did. Cam has the second biggest bedroom. Jake's room which is right over there." He pointed to a corner room. "Is only a little smaller. The fourth bedroom is the same size as Jake's."

"Cameron would you like to see the room daddy picked for you?" Liz was sure it was fine.

"Yes please!" The little boy let him mom's hand go and took his dad's. "Come on daddy." Together they walked over and it was Cameron who opened the door. "Oh wow!" He said before being struck speechless.

"Jason, wow is right." Liz said smiling at the man who held her heart. The room was decorated, but not with the furniture Cameron used at their former home. The bed was a vibrant red race car. The matching bookshelf, dresser, and toy chest all looked like shelving units and tool boxes you would find in a garage. This celebrated the little boy's love of cars. But trains were represented too, in the lamp and the massive train table. Colorful stacked bins were filled with Cam's toys, and soft patchwork chair gave him somewhere to lounge. There was even a desk for coloring or practicing letters. When Cameron was ready for something bigger, that item could go into Jake's room. "This is incredible."

"Is anything missing?" He asked looking around. Spinelli had helped him shop for the items.

"No." Liz said giving him a kiss. "It's perfect." Even if something was missing she wouldn't point it out, not after he did this. "Do all the bedrooms have hard wood floors?" Although this space had several colorful area rugs. The kind with roads on them.

"Yes." Jason nodded. "We can change that."

"It's fine." Liz said rubbing his arm. "Cameron, what do you need to tell daddy?" She prodded a little.

"Thank you." Cameron came over and hugged his dad's leg.

Liz saw the objection and shook her head. "Why don't you go play while we look around? If you need us holler, but stay here." She just didn't want him wondering off.

"Okay mommy." Cameron said heading for the train table.

In the hall she explained to Jason why she stopped him. "I want the boys, and any future children we have, to understand that the things they get are things they should be appreciative of. You didn't have to do that for him. He needs to respect that you did." She wasn't raising spoiled brats. "They will have things that a majority of children won't, things I never dreamed for them." It was just a fact that Jason had a lot of money. "I don't want them taking that for granted."

"I understand." Jason nodded.

"Some spoiling is fine." She said smiling, because he was going to do it anyway. "Just don't get carried away."

"Okay." Jason could do that. Hopefully. "This is Cameron's bathroom. It's been child proofed and I carried the car theme over." He also had a smaller toilet installed and the sink plus mirror lowered.

The man didn't miss a trick Liz thought as they looked into what would be Jake's bathroom. This room was also outfitted for a smaller person expect the tub. Like in Cameron's bathroom it was full sized. The childproofing was more obvious here. Jake wasn't opening anything he shouldn't.

"This is Jake's space." Jason said opening the door and letting her walk in with their son on her hip.

"Jason." She said softly blinking back tears. This room was also decorated, and the furniture was instantly recognizable. It was his nursery bedroom set, the same set that Alan had used as a baby. Family heirlooms. She ran a hand over the deep brown crib. It was matched with a changing table/dresser combination and an armoire.

"I had the guys go over the pieces and make sure they are safe." He said quietly. "Monica said furniture like this is made to last, which the guys backed up." All that was needed was a tightening of a few screws and a good polish.

She noted the glider where she could sit and read to Jake before bedtime, the bright blue lamp to bring some color to the space, and then laughed when she saw that Jake had a smaller version of the patchwork chair that was in his brother's room. "It's wonderful. I love that he will be using your furniture."

Jason just nodded. He was happy that his relationship with his family was good enough that he could make this request. "There isn't a bookshelf with this set, so we need to pick one up. The guys said they can match the stain if necessary."

"We can do that." She said looking around the bright and airy room. She spotted a bright red toy chest in the corner. It was plastic so she wouldn't have to worry about Jake getting hurt when he was old enough to explore. Like she said earlier the man didn't miss a trick.

"Monica also has the toddler bed I used for when Jake outgrows the crib. When Cameron is ready he'll get the set of furniture I used as I was growing up." Jason wanted his kids to have a connection to their past through some family pieces.

"I love that idea." Liz said giving him a kiss. "Is our room furnished as well?"

"It is, with new items." Jason replied, he wasn't nervous about that space. If she didn't like what he picked it could go in the fourth bedroom. He wanted his sons to like their new rooms because they were the ones facing the biggest changes. "Would you like to see it?"

"Yes please." Liz said mimicking Cameron. They checked on their eldest son who was busy setting up a railway system. In other words he was fine. Down the hall a bit Jason opened the double doors that lead to their private suite. "I didn't decorate the sitting area." He let her know.

"My living room furniture that is in storage will look nice here." Liz told him, the two rooms were about the same size. "Unless you want something else?"

"No." To be honest Jason didn't really understand the point of a sitting area off the bedroom. It's not like they would be entertaining guests up here.

Liz could pretty much guess the thoughts going through his head. Jason was fairly straight forward guy. If it wasn't necessary he generally didn't have it in his life. "This will be a good place for family movie nights. That way when the boys fall asleep we don't have to carry them far."

"I like the sound of that." Jason said grinning.

"Look at that view." Liz said walking over to the window. There was a box seat and she was going to make use of that. From this spot she could see the grove of trees. "Apples." She said delighted.

"Apparently there are several types of fruit trees and bushes on the property." Jason let her know. "Apples are the most dominant. Three different types."

"Did you know I can make applesauce from scratch?" Liz asked him.

"No, I didn't." Jason was looking to learning everything he didn't know about the amazing woman beside him. "I know you've become a better cook over the years, but I didn't realize you were that good now."

"Applesauce actually isn't that hard." Liz said blushing some. "Cook taught me, she also taught me how to can. So I can put up preserves for the winter."

"Seriously?" Jason asked surprised. Cook was scary.

"Seriously." Liz just laughed outright which made Jake laugh too. "Show me the bedroom."

"Right this way." Jason said opening another set of double doors. "What do you think?"

"I love the pale green walls." Liz said taking in the paint job first. "They came out perfect. The furniture is a perfect compliment." Like in Jake's room the furniture was dark heavy wood. A more masculine feel that was opposite the more feminine wall color. Balance was the key to any room and they had struck it. The thing she did notice was that there wasn't a lot of furniture.

The king sized sleigh bed was offset on either side by low nightstands. There was a lovely hope chest at the foot of the bed that she couldn't wait to fill with comforters. On the side she spotted a latch to keep the boys from climbing inside. The only other piece of furniture was light in color. A white large round loveseat was in a nook to the side of the bed. "A fire place."

"It works." Jason was looking to ending nights there with his girl.

"We will have to test that out." Liz said leaning over and giving him a kiss. Which made Jake purse his lips in silent demand, so he got kissed on too. "Are there built-ins inside the closet?"

"Yes. They are in the bathroom." Jason pointed to a closed door. "Why don't you put Jake on the bed and we'll hang out here while you explore." That way he wouldn't have to pick the little boy up. Healing couldn't happen fast enough.

Liz did as requested and walked into what was more like a spa than a bathroom. Double sinks, a vanity, a garden tub, and a shower big enough for two. She walked through the enormous closet, where their clothes were already hanging. That meant the boys' clothes had been brought over as well. Walking back toward the bedroom she spotted the heated towel racks. "I may just move into the bathroom."

"I haven't looked inside. I told them to put all the towels from both our places in the storage closet. Same with all the bath supplies." Jason said stretched out with Jake on his chest. It was almost the little guy's morning nap time. "We need groceries, so if you can make a list of essentials, I'll send a runner."

"Putting everything away will help me get acquainted with the kitchen. Is there a table down there?" If not they would need to correct that quickly.

"Yes, the one from your house. Your dishes are also in the cabinets." Jason told her. "Somewhere downstairs is my pool table." He got a new one because he was due. "There is also a guest suite on the first floor, which is the fifth bedroom. We can put Em there when she visits." That would give them all privacy. "If she doesn't stay at the mansion."

"Mommy? Daddy?" Cameron's voice floated down the hall.

"Stay here, I'll go." Jason was guessing that the first few nights they were going to be sleeping with both sets of doors open. He gently moved Jake and headed down the hall.

"Did you have fun playing trains?" Liz asked when her son joined them on the bed.

"Uh huh, but it was really quiet so I was wondering where you were." Cameron had only been a little nervous. Mostly he really liked his new room. "Can I have a snack?"

"How about if I call grandmother and see if we can visit. That way we can get some cake?" Jason asked grinning. He knew the answer would be a yes from his family and from Lila.

"Cake is the perfect way to celebrate a new house. Right Cam?" Liz was all for that. Jake could nap in the parlor.

"Right." Cameron said grinning.

Jason laughed as he called the mansion.

Thanks for the reviews!
