Chapter 46

"Jason, can you help me?" Elizabeth called out to her hubby.

"Sure thing." Jason said walking over the closet where she was getting dressed, and stopping short. "Wow!" He said taking in his wife. "You look stunning."

"Thanks." Liz said smiling wide. "As soon as I saw this dress, I knew it would be perfect for tonight." The deep blue floor length gown was all about the details. It had wide seams in a faux braided look, they circled the neckline from the back and around to the wide lower points of the bodice. The middle of the low neckline had two independent seams that dropped and curved under the breast to the outside where they dissected the seam falling from around the shoulders and down the outside of the square neckline. The center seams continued around to create the waistline. The outer seams fell down vertically where they crossed the center seams creating two seams and pleats that fell straight down. It created a beautiful textured draping and she loved it.

"You are certainly going to be the center of attention tonight." Jason said smiling.

"I doubt it. We will be surrounded by priceless pieces of art." Liz told him. "I'm sure the Dali artworks will be what everyone is looking at." The museum was hosting the exhibition to celebrate the opening of the new gallery named after her. "If they aren't looking at you. Have I mentioned how much I love you in a tuxedo?"

"I don't wear them for everyone." Jason hated them, but tonight was black tie and it was to celebrate his wife. It helped that he could wear a tie and not a bowtie. The custom fitted wool and silk blend suit probably wouldn't leave the closet again until New Year's Eve, unless they didn't go out. "What can I help you with?"

"I need help putting on my necklace." Liz picked up the large black velvet square she had just taken from their home safe.

"Absolutely." Jason said lifting the piece of jewelry and placing it around Elizabeth's neck. "I like that you went out and got earrings to match it."

"This necklace still takes my breath away when I see it." Liz said touching a finger to the largest stone. Against the darker color of her dress the yellow really popped.

Jason put his hands in his pocket and smiled at their reflection in the mirror. Without her having to say it he knew that she hadn't sat around dreaming about owning expensive items of jewelry. Unlike some of the women that had been in his life material items didn't mean a lot to her, but she would treasure every item he gave her. "Let me get my jacket and then we can head out."

"I still need to put on my shoes." She said lifting the skirt of her dress and walking out into their bedroom. Her four inch navy blue suede heels were by the door. While she put her feet into the shoes she watched Jason put on his jacket and just had to hum low. The man was seriously sexy, it was distracting in the best way. "All set."

"Okay." He walked over and placed a soft kiss on her temple. "Let's go down and say goodnight to the boys." Ali was hanging out with them. This was going to be a late night so when they returned home one of the guys would drive the nanny home.

"Hi!" Liz gave Georgie a hug. It took a while to make it to the table where her VIP guests were sitting. She had arrived almost an hour and a half ago and it seemed like she had been talking to someone or another for that entire time. A good portion of those people were members of the press. She'd also posed for enough photos to make it so she didn't want to see a camera again for a good long while. "You guys look beautiful." She told the ladies who had gathered around for hugs.

"Thanks. I was happy to find something that fit." Georgie was wearing a burgundy lace maternity gown with coordinating kitten heels. "I was getting worried because I was running out of time."

"You are putting the rest of us to shame with that pregnancy glow." Nadine told her friend. The nurse was in a floor length pale pink embroidered gown with a sheer lace yoke. Her stunning engagement ring was on her left hand and before they left the house Cody had surprised her with diamond drop earrings that left her speechless.

"You look amazing." Emily assured her friend, even though she knew Nadine was not fishing for a complement. The young doctor had opted for a form fitting floor length cornflower blue gown with a razorback that took it from plain to sexy. This was a dress that was more about the woman in it, than anything else. Like her friends she had plenty of sparkle going on from her jewelry.

While the ladies all looked amazing they had made sure that none of them wore anything that would upstage Elizabeth. That was easy to do because Liz got her gown first and everyone else shopped for their gowns together. Nadine wanted help because she hadn't ever gone to an event this high profile. Georgie was the only one who didn't find an outfit during their outing. She had turned to the internet and clearly hit a home run.

"Where is mom?" Liz didn't see her at the table.

"On the dance floor with Harry." Emily pointed to where the couple was swaying to the music. She had been getting to know her mom's boyfriend and was happy to discover that she really liked him. More importantly she liked the way her mother smiled while talking about him. Alan would always be in her mom's heart, but that didn't threaten Harry one bit.

"She looks stunning." Liz said smiling. Her mother in-law had gone with a black gown with lace sleeves and daring side slit. Since Monica had great legs, which she credited to running through the halls of the hospital, it was a move the ladies all applauded.

"That necklace is, well I don't think I have words for what it is." Georgie told her friend.

"I imagine that Johnny is going to give you something amazing to show off after you give birth." Liz replied smiling.

"He had better give her something really nice considering she is doing double duty." Emily added on. Since the secret about the twins was out, the only thing they didn't know now were the genders. The O'Briens had said they weren't sharing and everyone was respecting that. So the theme of the shower was nursery rhymes which was nice and gender neutral.

"I told him he didn't have to get me anything, but he said the guys would give him major grief if he didn't." Georgie grinned at the ladies. "I think they are worse than we are." Georgie said laughing. Still she had made sure her husband knew that she didn't expect gifts for having these babies. She wanted them as much as he did.

"How long do you have before the curator comes to get you?" Emily wanted to know. They had been watching her work the room.

"I'm done. I arranged to do all my interviews at once. It just made sense from a security standpoint. From this moment on I get to sit back and enjoy the party like everyone else." Liz said grinning. While she had talked with the reporters Renaldo had been standing right behind her. Now he could relax too. "I am hoping at some point to hit the dance floor. After dinner because I'm ready to eat."

"I'm sure you burned a lot of calories just from nervous energy." Nadine thought Liz had been very calm under pressure. "Did you have input on the menu?"

"Yeah." Liz nodded as she smiled and waved to someone across the room. "What we are having is delicious, so no worries there. And there is chocolate for dessert."

"No surprise there." Emily said laughing.

Jason walked over and put his arm around his wife's waist. He had been standing not too far from the ladies talking with some of the guys. "They are about to start serving dinner, so we should head to our table." They were sitting with the museum board, which thankfully included their grandparents. Jason would have someone to talk with during the meal.

"I'll catch up with you guys later." Liz said getting some hugs before they began to make their way across the room.

The second Jason closed the door behind them Elizabeth kicked off her heels. "That feels amazing." She said as the coolness of the floor seeped into her feet. "My shoes were really comfortable, but after five hours I'm still ready for them to come off."

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Morgan." Ali came out of the living room.

"How was the night?" Elizabeth asked their nanny.

"Great. The boys were well behaved like always." Ali let them know. "Did you have fun?" She had been able to watch them arrive on television. Cameron and Jake had clapped when their parents appeared on the screen.

"Amazing." Liz said laughing.

"Good. I'll see you next week." Ali said before slipping on her jacket and heading for the door.

"Chris is waiting to take you home." Jason let her know.

"Thank you Mr. Morgan." Ali waved before leaving the house.

"I'm going to go check on the boys while you do a walk through." Liz said bending over to grab her shoes. "I'll meet you in our room. Can you undo the clasp for me please?" She knew he would check in with whoever was watching things overnight before coming up. Which was good because she wanted time to set up a surprise.

Both Cameron and Jake were sleeping soundly so she headed to the master suite. From the drawer of her nightstand she grabbed an envelope and put it on Jason's pillow before putting her necklace and earrings away. Then she went to the bathroom to get changed into her nightgown and wait for her guy to come up.

Jason also stopped in the boys rooms, just wanting to give them each a kiss. By the time he got to the suite he shared with Elizabeth his jacket and tie were off, and his shirt was most of the way unbuttoned. His wife was nowhere in sight so he finished getting undressed. It wasn't until he was standing beside the bed that he noticed the envelope. His name was on it, in Elizabeth's graceful handwriting.

Opening it he found one single sheet of paper inside. At the top of the page was his wife's name next to the word patient. Under that were the words blood panel. That got his attention. He moved down the page noting that she was healthy and at the very bottom his eyes got wide with what was typed on the last line.

Pregnancy test results: Positive. Looking up he saw her standing in the doorway to the bathroom smiling at him. "We're pregnant." He said answering her smile with one of his own.

"I found out this afternoon when Kelly asked me to stop by her office before I went to get my hair done." Liz said as her eyes filled with tears. "All that practice paid off." She said laughing.

He let the paper fall to the bed and walked over to where she was standing. "How are you feeling?" He asked taking her in his arms.

"Great. No sickness so far." Liz said snuggling close. "I suspected last week. Lots of little things that added up to a possible pregnancy."

"You're late." He had noted that, but didn't say anything because Kelly said Elizabeth might be irregular once she went off the pill.

"Two weeks tomorrow. Kelly would normally wait until then to run a test, but since I've done this before she trusted my instincts." Liz told him. "We need to go in and talk with her next week."

"You're high risk?" He was guessing.

"Not at the moment." Liz rubbed his arm to calm him down. Her pregnancy with Jake ended with a partial abruption brought on by blood pressure issues. Hiding that Jason was the father of her baby had stressed her out. It had been too dangerous for them to go public. Verbal attacks from Lucky and Gram's disapproval hadn't helped things. "Kelly said everything could go textbook. I don't see me having as much stress this go round. She just wants to be careful."

"I'm going to take good care of both of you." Jason promised her.

"I didn't tell you earlier because you would have been hovering all night." She said laughing. "I don't want anyone to know just yet."

"Yeah, I would have." Jason had to laugh at himself. "Now that I do know, the hovering can start now." He lifted her off her feet and took them to bed. Holding her close he let the knowledge that they had created another life continue to sink in. "In the morning let me know when the appointment with Kelly is and I'll put it on my calendar."

"We may have to change our Christmas plans." She warned him. They were spending the holiday in Capri. It would be the first trip out of the country for the boys and she hoped they could still go.

"Don't worry about that. I'm sure Monica will be more than happy to have us at the mansion again." Jason said rubbing his wife's back. "Twins don't run in your family do they?" He wanted to know. Johnny was a mess.

"No." Liz said laughing. "It's not always a genetic issue though. The gene for fraternal twins can be passed down from mother to child. Identical twins can just happen to anyone. My hormone levels are not high enough to indicate I am carrying more than one baby. The egg would have split by now." She said trying to relax that worry.

"If we had twins we could handle it." Jason let her know.

"We could, but we aren't." She said starting to feel sleepy. "I'm so happy you get to experience this from the beginning."

"Me too." Jason said pulling her closer. "Get some sleep. I love you."

"I love you too." Liz said barely awake.

As she drifted off to sleep Jason smiled into the darkness. Their family was growing. He was going to do everything he could to make sure her needs were met. He would also be praying that both Elizabeth and their child remained safe and healthy. "Thank you." He said softly before closing his eyes and sleeping as well.

Seven and a half months later…

"What are we going to name her?" Liz looked over her husband's shoulder. He had been holding their daughter since the nurse brought her down from the nursery. A textbook birth had followed a complication free pregnancy.

"I have no idea." Jason said looking into the sleeping face of his daughter. She looked exactly like her mother. In other words she was beautiful. "I want to give her a strong name."

"You said the same thing when we named Jake." Liz reminded him.

"You set the bar high with Cameron. That is a great name." Jason told his wife.

"Hold on." She grabbed her phone. "What about Amalia, it means industrious? We can call her Lia for short."

"Amalia Morgan." Jason repeated smiling. "I like that. What about a middle name."

Liz looked at her daughter. "Rose, to honor Lila."

"Amalia Rose Morgan." Jason said smiling. "I love that." He put the baby in the bassinet and came back to where his wife was sitting up. "And I love you. More today than yesterday, and I will love you more tomorrow than I do today."

Liz had to wipe away tears. "I love you too. My heart has always been yours." She wanted him to know.

"The boys are going to be here in a few hours to meet their sister. You should get some rest." Jason was going to make sure Elizabeth took time to heal.

"Lie down with me?" Elizabeth requested stretching out. She could get a short nap in before it was time for Lia to eat again.

"Absolutely." Jason said kicking off his boots. His wife was in his arms, his daughter was sleeping close by, and his boys would be here in a short while. As far as he was concerned life was perfect.

Thanks for the reviews!
