Chapter 45

"I think you might be the only board member who has ever worked as a volunteer at the hospital." Emily said looking over at her sister in-law.

"I like working with the kids, and this also lets me see how things are going in the hospital. It's kind of hard to make policy when you have no idea what is going on down on the wards." Liz pointed out. That had Emily and Georgie, who was eating with them, both nodding.

On Tuesday and Thursdays nine a.m. to eleven-thirty a.m. Liz oversaw art time. She set up in the main room on the ward and any of the pediatric patients who wished to come be creative had a chance to do so. The kids always had a good time and they had plenty of ways to express themselves. Painting, pencils, crayons, markers, and molding clay were all set up in stations at the low tables. All the supplies had been donated by Morgan International, so the Peds budget hadn't been affected. The program was a rousing success.

"Shoot." Emily said looking at her pager. "I need to go. I'll catch up with you guys later."

"Leave your tray I'll take care of it." Liz offered.

"Thanks." Emily said rushing from the cafeteria.

"I'm really glad that I don't get my lunch and breaks interrupted. I'd rip someone's head off." Georgie said laughing at her own joke. "Especially if I'm eating something I've been craving."

"Anything odd?" Liz wanted to know.

"Sauerkraut." Georgie said wrinkling her nose. "Which is strange because I couldn't stand the stuff before I got knocked up. Now we must have it in the house, and only a certain brand. You would think I'd be craving something Irish and not German." She said laughing.

"Babies can be oddly specific." Liz said nodding her head. "So, when are you and Johnny going to tell everyone you're having twins?"

"I told Kelly you would be the one to figure it out." Georgie said laughing. "Can you be bribed to stay silent?"

"I certainly can." Liz said with a wide smile. "Elizabeth Morgan godmother has a really nice ring to it."

"Since we planned on asking you anyway that makes things easy." George told her friend. "Has anyone else figured it out?" They might not say anything to her.

"Emily was asking if I thought you looked big for one baby. I told her that you weren't that big, you just seemed large because you are all belly." Which was true, from the back Georgie didn't look like she was pregnant. "She seemed satisfied with that. However you are just entering your last trimester which means you're going to be getting even bigger and the gig will be up. Also keep in mind twins come early, so we should have the shower soon."

"Robin said the same thing, because she figured it out as well." Georgie confessed as she stole one of Liz's French fries. "My cousin also said that I am missing out on a ginormous gift haul if I don't tell everyone there are two babies coming."

"People give generously at wedding showers and baby showers." Liz confirmed for her friend. "If you feel guilty that folks are buying you things that you can pay for on your own make a donation to a charity for mothers and babies."

"Johnny is worried that if we announce it too soon something bad will happen." Georgie told her friend. "I've started taking his blood pressure at the house, and Kelly is taking it at appointments."

Liz had to cover her mouth she was laughing so hard. "Sorry." She said getting herself back under control. "Tell Johnny to relax. He saw you before the wedding and nothing happened. This will be the same way. Just tell him that the more people who know what the situation is, the more people you have to call on if god forbid something does go wrong."

"That's a good angle. We do know a lot of folks with medical degrees." Georgie was ready to let everyone know their good news. What Liz suggested might get Johnny to loosen up.

"Hi." Robin was walking past the table with a tray. Since her cousin was eating with Liz she would grab a table and sit by herself.

"Hi." Georgie said getting to her feet. "I need to use the restroom. Be right back."

"Can I talk with you for a moment?" Robin asked Elizabeth.

"Have a seat." Liz pointed to a chair next to Georgie's. Sharing space for half an hour wouldn't kill her. If Robin ate alone then Georgie would feel guilty, she didn't need the stress. "Congratulations."

"Thank you." Robin smiled and looked at the diamond on her finger. Patrick's proposal had blindsided her, and she hadn't hesitated to accept. It still amazed her that he even asked her out given how she had been behaving. Her stubbornly refusing to let Jason go almost cost her this. "We are going to be sending out invitations next month, I know Patrick would like it if you came."

"If we are here I'd be happy to come." Liz told the petite doctor. They still were not anywhere close to being friends. It was something that wasn't going to change. But Patrick was her friend and Elizabeth wanted him to be happy. They also had Georgie in common, and for her Liz could be civil to Robin.

"I'm in charge of the baby shower and I've never thrown one before. I've never thrown any kind of party before." Robin admitted. "Normally I would ask Johnny to help me, since he is the father, but he dislikes me even more than you do. I know he would put those feelings aside for Georgie, but honestly I'm afraid I will say or do something to make the situation worse. I just don't see us working together ending well. So I'm not sure where to go for help."

Liz didn't dispute the statement of her not liking Robin. Or the one about Johnny. Instead she reached in her wallet and extracted a business card. "Venus Ardonowski is one of the best party planners in the city. She planned my wedding, which was amazing." Liz could admit that. Venus had gone above and beyond to make the day perfect. "Give her a call, and tell Venus I recommended you contact her. She can plan the event for you, and you'll just have to act as hostess. If you ask nicely Lila might even let you use the ballroom at the mansion. The glass doors open up onto the rose garden, and Georgie loves it there." Liz handed over the small piece of cardboard. "Shoot for late next month. The wedding season will be over and vendors will be lowering their prices."

"I don't think Lila likes me either." Robin had burned a lot of bridges.

"She likes Georgie." Liz knew her grandmother would be happy to have the event at the mansion. Monica too, because she also adored Georgie.

"Thanks." Robin said tucking the card away.

"Send out save the date cards soon." Liz told the doctor. Everyone should be around because in a couple of weeks the gala at the museum was taking place, and shortly after that school would be back in session. That signaled the end of family travel season.

Robin nodded.

"Okay, I'm back." Georgie was happy to see her cousin sitting at the table. She wasn't pushing for her cousin and Liz to be friends. Still she would have felt bad if Robin ended up eating alone. "What color is everyone wearing to the gala?" She said picking a subject they should be able to talk about without any issue.

"I'm working that night. I volunteered to cover the ER." Robin figured that Liz wouldn't want her at a celebration in her honor. "But I'd love to hear about what you guys are wearing."

"Robin why don't you tell us about your latest protocol. I bumped into Patrick last week, and he said you were getting published." If Liz could make small talk with Faith Rosco at a business dinner, she could get through lunch with Robin Scorpio.

"Are you almost done?" Liz asked coming over and wrapping her arms around her husband. She placed her check on his back and just enjoyed how warm he was. It was his night to clean up while she cooked, and she was surprised it was taking him so long since she was wasn't a messy cook.

"I got interrupted." He told her as he finished washing out the final pot. "Johnny called. He had some news to share."

Liz just grinned. It looked like Georgie got her way, as they were leaving the cafeteria she had said that tonight she was going to sit her superstitious hubby down and tell him it was time to make the announcement. Jason turned so he could face his wife. "He and Georgie are having twins. Which you already know."

"Georgie and I discussed it this afternoon. I didn't want to steal their thunder." Liz explained why she kept quiet. "We should be getting a card to save the date for her shower soon."

"The guys are going to get to come?" Jason found that to be surprising.

"Actually I have no idea." Liz said grinning. "I guess it depends on what Georgie wants. Either way we will get to go shopping soon, as the O'Briens are going to be registering any day now." Which was the other thing Georgie said she wanted to talk with Johnny about.

"I never shopped for baby items." Jason remarked grinning.

"Who bought all of Michael's things?" Liz asked surprised.

"Carly. I gave her my credit card and she went shopping for everything that was needed." Jason didn't hurt when talking about his friend anymore. He did miss the boys though. "I came home and there were boxes everywhere, and more clothes than one child needs." But that was Carly, she did everything to excess.

"I have to admit that I went overboard on Cameron's wardrobe as well." Liz said laughing. "Everything was just so cute." They were trying for a baby and she was hoping that they would get to do shopping together sometime before their first anniversary arrived.

"And small." Jason said grinning. "I remember holding up a couple of onesies and having a hard time imagining a human being that tiny." He had enjoyed his time with Michael, and was looking forward to bonding with the next child they would hopefully have. "Babies are amazing."

"That they are." Liz said going up on her toes to give him a kiss. The darkening of his eyes said he was thinking about them being together later. She didn't feel any pressure to get pregnant, just an intense desire to have another child with the man who held her heart.

Jason was sinking into the kiss when the lights in the house went out.

"Mommy!" Cameron's voice cut through the silence. He and Jake had been playing in the den.

"Stay still." Elizabeth called out moving over to the drawer where they kept the flash lights. "Hold Jake's hand."

"Okay." Cameron called back.

"I'll go get the boys." Jason told her, he had the flashlight app on his phone activated. "I'm coming now Cam." He called out so his son would know.

"Okay. Me and Jake are being still." The little boy replied, hoping his dad came soon.

Jason walked down the hall and smiled to put his boys at ease. "Thank you following mommy's instructions so well." He said squatting down.

"Why are the lights out?" Cameron asked his dad. He wasn't afraid of the dark, but he also hadn't ever had the lights all go out at once before.

"I'm guessing that too many people were using too much power. It's been really hot lately, and everyone is using their air conditioners." The other night at dinner Edward had been saying something like this was bound to happen. Looks like he was right.

"Hi guys." Liz said coming in and handing each boy a small flashlight. That would help them to calm down even further. "So now what?" She asked as Jason's phone beeped.

"Now we head over to the mansion." He told her reading the message on his phone. "A security crew will be here shortly to follow us over. In situations like this it helps to have us all in one place."

"Why not here?" Liz wanted to know. She figured their house would be more secure.

"Because this is the obvious place to look for us." Jason let her know. "This would be the site of a first strike, and no I don't think this has anything to do with me." He said because he could see the question in her eyes.

"Jason, the crew is here." Kory was on the door overnight. Since his boss didn't come out he knew everything inside the house was fine.

"We'll be right out." Jason called back. "Come on guys, we need to go check on Nana."

"Okay." Cameron felt better now that both his parents were here and he had a light of his own. He took his mom's hand and they headed to the garage.

"Hi." Jason wasn't surprised to see his mother, Em, and Milo in the parlor. His grandparents had left for London this morning so this was everyone.

"Who wants to have a sleepover?!" Emily asked before her mom could sneak in and steal the boys.

"We do!" Cameron loved sleepovers. "Right Jake."

"Right." Jake said smiling and nodding.

"We have the sleeping bags all set up. We are staying here in the mansion tonight." Emily explained to Liz.

"I figured as much." Liz didn't mind Em taking the boys, in fact she was happy about it. Doing something fun would make this even less frightening.

"You guys can share a sleeping bag." Milo told the little boys he considered to be nephews.

"How come there are lights here?" Cameron wanted to know.

"The emergency generator is on." Jason answered, it didn't surprise him Cameron would ask. His son was highly observant. "The lights are only on in certain rooms to conserve power." Tomorrow he was going to call around and start pricing solar panels. As soon as possible all his holdings would have them. So would the mansion.

"Okay, let's head up and get snuggled into the sleeping bags. Milo is going to tell you guys a story about growing up in Italy." Emily said picking up Jake, while Cameron got a piggyback ride. "Say goodnight to your parents."

"Night!" Both boys called out as they left the room.

"You two should head up. I'm waiting for Harry, who should be here shortly." Monica let them know.

"Okay. Night mom." Liz said getting a hug.

"Night. My guys are on the grounds." Jason let her know. A very visible show of security.

"I know. Milo explained and he called the head of the team so they would let Harry on the grounds." Monica said as her son kissed her cheek. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Night." Jason said heading to the stairs to go find his girl.

"Are you heading out?" Liz wouldn't be surprised if the answer was yes.

"I need to check in, then I'll have an answer for you." Jason replied pulling out his phone again.

"I'll hop in the shower while you do that." Liz said giving him a kiss in case he left while she was in the bathroom. She had just finish rinsing her hair free of shampoo when the door to the glass enclosure answered. "So we get to have a sleepover of our own?" She asked laughing.

"We do indeed." Jason said wrapping his arms around her waist. He had good men working for him, and they had the situation under control. The territory was quiet and Cody didn't expect that to change. He had tightened security to be on the safe side, but he was thinking they would pass a problem free night. Especially since the surrounding cities were dark too.

"You can help me finish getting clean." Liz said turning in his arms.

"I'd much rather help you get dirty." Jason said bringing his lips to the soft skin behind her ear.

"I like the sound of that." Liz replied already feeling breathless.

"Good." He replied before taking her mouth in a carnal kiss. He loved the feel of her lips beneath his. Loved how her sweetness simply exploded on his tongue until the only she was the only think he could think off. Wanting more contact he lifted her off her feet and walked forward until she was against the wall.

Elizabeth turned herself over to him, and let her husband take her wherever he wanted to. She liked that she felt safe enough that she didn't need to be in control all the time. She also loved that he felt secure enough to not always need to lead. His lips moved down the column of her neck and she moaned in delight. When he pressed his hard cock against her center and started to rock the intensity of the feelings almost stole her breath. "That feels incredible."

"Yes, it does." Jason said rocking just a bit faster. "Did you know that the room we are staying in is the one I used growing up? The one I used before I moved to my new room when I started college." He was enjoying this slow build up to him having her. He liked it when he could take his time and draw out the pleasure for his girl. He also liked it when the passion got so intense he had to have her right then. There was no bad way for them to make love. Dipping his head he took a beaded nipple into his mouth and sucked.

Elizabeth arched hard wanting to get closer. Elizabeth arched hard at the delicious friction he was creating. "Yes." She said in answer to his question and as a statement on what he was doing to her. To the fact that he was hitting just the right spot.

"Did you also know, that I've never had sex in that room?" Jason asked rocking just a little faster. The room had been redone to reflect that he was now a grown up. A door had been added to the wall where the seating area was to create access to the bedroom next door. That was where the boys normally stayed. A family suite had been created just for them. "I think we should rectify that."

"I think you are right." Liz said her short nails digging into Jason's shoulder. If she wasn't careful she was going to leave marks.

"Come for me first." He said pushing harder against her. "I'm greedy and I want to hear you calling my name before I take you to bed and make you scream it." He shifted his hold a bit to pull her tighter against him and could feel a rush of moisture from her center as she tipped over.

Her fingers were fisted in his short hair and she was starting to tremble.

"Jason." Elizabeth did indeed say his name as the pleasure rolled through her. Her hands were now on his shoulders and her short nails were digging into the hard muscle. She had to force her fingers to relax so she didn't leave any marks.

He turned off the water and took them into the bedroom. Since they were both wet getting into bed wouldn't happen just yet, but that was fine he could work with that. Instead he put his wife down beside the bed and urged her forward. "Put your hands on the mattress." His voice was gravelly because he was strung tight. When she did, he lined them up and slowly slipped inside her still pulsing channel. "This is the most amazing feeling in the world." He said starting to pump his hips. "You hold me so tight like you never want to let me go." He said placing his hands on her hips and starting to pump his hips. Long slow strokes to push the simmering fire between them into a roaring blaze.

"Oh…my…god." Liz said gripping the blankets and rocking back against him in the rhythm he had set. It was always great between them, but she burned that much more when he talked during sex. Something he knew.

"Do you like the way I feel inside you?" Jason asked running his hands down the smooth skin of her back.

"Yesss!" She hissed out feeling the coil inside her tighten with each stroke of his cock. He was hitting another magical spot deep inside her and it was almost more than she could take. "More!" She demanded, he was the only one who could make this ache stop.

"Yes ma'am." Jason said chuckling. He placed both hands on her hips and stroked faster. He was always happy to give his girl what she wanted Jason stroked harder and faster into her willing body. Leaning forward he placed one hand on the bed for better leverage and stroked faster still. Stroked until they were both unable to speak because it was so good. He placed his lips back on that spot behind her ear and sucked which proved to be the breaking point for his wife.

"JASON!" Liz screamed in pleasure. Giving him exactly what he has said he wanted. Nothing else existed but him and the feelings he brought out in her. Colors exploded behind her eyelids and her whole body shook as she rode the crest of pleasure.

"Baby." Jason growled as her inner muscles clamped down on his cock and he let her release trigger his. He didn't hold back and gave her everything inside him. Filling her body as he also filled her heart. He was shaking when he finally rested his head between her shoulder blades. It took a minute but he found the strength to pull from her. "Okay?" He asked just checking on her.

"Amazing." Liz said breathing hard.

"Don't move. I'll get us a cloth and some towels." He told her.

"I don't think I can move. My legs are like jelly." She said laughing. It was a good thing no one else had a room near theirs.

"I like hearing that." Jason whispered in her ear. He kissed the back of her neck and she trembled. They would rest and more than likely make love again later in the night.

She watched him walk into the bathroom and had to grin. Blackouts were going to be her new favorite thing. She hoped they had another one next week.

Thanks for the reviews!
