Hi! You all sent me a lot of PM's about the update schedule. Some liked the two daily updates, some were worried about the pacing and not being able to keep up due to schedules (work, timezones and life in general). So here what we will do. On Tuesdays and Fridays there will be two updates (as long as my life doesn't interfere) the rest of the week one a day. I think this is a fair compromise, because yes I want everyone to be as happy as possible. Thank you for the input!

Chapter 19

Elizabeth sat back and just enjoyed the quiet. Today had been busy. This morning she'd gotten her cast off, and to celebrate she had Morgan and Jimmy, from the hospital daycare, over for a play date. Emily had also dropped by and the two of them had very nice visit before her friend had to leave to go to work. Elizabeth noted that Emily looked tired and seemed a bit sad. She'd have to find some time for them to talk. Over the last two weeks Elizabeth hadn't seen much of the young doctor.

Having three three year old little boys had kept her busy all day. The plan had been a trip to the zoo, with four guards, but rain had cancelled that idea. Instead they spent the day at the penthouse, building forts, painting pictures and running around like lunatics. It was quite a workout.

Jason had chosen to steer clear of the chaos and Francis informed her that he would be next door before running for safety. They were cowards she thought with a snort. Big bad mob guys scared off by three toddlers. Still she was glad that she wasn't a school teacher she could not imagine being in a room full of children with that much energy. Thinking that brought back to mind the application for Port Charles Academy.

The Friday deadline was three days away so it was time to make a decision. It really was a great opportunity for her son. The education he would get there was superior to the one he would get at his local elementary school. Not that the teachers at the public schools didn't work hard, it was just at the private school Cam would have access to the latest technology, he would have art and music lessons and they would start teaching him a language right away. All things her local school did not offer.

Then there was the safety issue. Cam could have a guard which she knew would make Jason happy. She had to consider Jason's role in this decision. He told her he wasn't walking away, and he was proving to Cam that he was a man her son could trust. Day in and day out he gave the little boy the love and kindness he so badly needed. Jason had stepped into the father role without hesitation and he was proving to be excellent at it.

Some would think she was a bad mother to let her son look up to a man who made his living on the wrong side of the law. Lucky had been a cop when he came into Cameron's life and look how that turned out. Her father was a doctor and he was lousy as a dad. What you did for a living did not determine what type of man you were. Jason was a good man, the best man she knew and he was what she wanted for her son.

Picking up her phone she called the man she was thinking of. "Jason, can you come over when you're done?" He was next door shooting pool with the guys.

"I can come now." He said putting down his pool cue.

"Don't interrupt your night, I can wait." It wasn't like she had to get sleep for work. Even though her cast was gone, with Lucky still unaccounted for the hospital didn't want her back yet.

"I'll be right over." He told her hanging up.

"You're leaving us for a girl?" Johnny said just to irritate his friend.

"Yup." Jason said not caring what his friends thought. "Was there a doubt? She smells way better than you do."

Francis just laughed. He wasn't touching that one. But Johnny had to get in one more shot. "Yeah, that's why you're going."

"How is Kelly?" Jason said hoping to make his friend back off. He should have known it wouldn't work.

"Very flexible." Johnny said with a satisfied grin. "And very smart." As he'd gotten older he looked for more than sex from women. He wasn't looking for a wife, but he did like to be able to hold a conversation with the woman he was seeing. Kelly kept him on his toes, and he really liked that.

"Feel free to keep playing." Jason said as he walked out of his home and crossed the hall to Elizabeth's. Even though he'd slept here every night since she moved in he didn't live with them. With a few notable exceptions he was up and dressed before Cam woke up. He and Elizabeth were not hiding their relationship but they were sensitive to the fact that Cam needed time to adjust.

When he walked in the front room was empty. He checked the kitchen, as he was coming out his girl came down the stairs. The bruises on her face and back were gone, and now so was the cast. While the visible reminders of her injuries were no longer there she was still having nightmares. Having him with her helped but she was considering going to see Lainey just to deal with everything. Whatever she decided he would be here to support her.

Walking over to him she lifted her head for a kiss. "Is this why you wanted me to come over?" Just one soft kiss and his body was stirring.

"No." She laughed at his pout. "However, I wouldn't mind some more kissing when we are done talking."

"Talking?" She was tense and he wondered what was up.

Walking over to end table she pulled out the large envelope. Taking a deep breath she came back over to him. "Carly gave me this last week and I've been thinking about it ever since."

Jason took the envelope and opening it removed the dark blue folder. "Port Charles Academy?"

Elizabeth nodded her head. "Carly said Morgan is going in September."

"Michael also went." Jason knew all about the school, he'd done the security check before Michael was enrolled. "You want Cam to go?"

She bit her lower lip. "Yeah, I do." It was hard for her to ask for help, but she trusted Jason and it was time to let him start making decisions with her. "Carly said the paperwork needs to be in by Friday."

"Okay, get a pen and we'll fill it out." He wasn't going to make a big deal out of this. Honestly he'd rather Cam be at Port Charles Academy than at the daycare in the hospital. The school was more secure. Carly might be on his shit list, but this was a good thing that she had done.

"Let's sit at the dining room table." Elizabeth suggested coming back.

When she walked by him, Jason reached out and pulled her close. Kissing the top of her head he rested his cheek there for a moment. He could feel her lightly shaking and he squeezed her gently to let her know he understood what a big step this was. Sitting down he opened the folder and they both just looked at each other.

The paperwork was already filled out. Looking over at the man sitting next to her Elizabeth's eyes were wide at what she saw on the form. For student name it listed Cameron Morgan. On the line where it wanted the student's father's name neatly typed was the name Jason Morgan. She was going to kill Carly.

Jason wanted to laugh at the look on Elizabeth's face. She would kill him if he did, but it might be worth it. He should have seen something like this coming. Carly was not subtle and this was something she would do.

"Jason I'm sorry." Elizabeth was mortified. Yes she wanted Jason to be Cam's dad but it was something they should decide not Carly.

"It's okay Elizabeth, I don't mind. In fact with the two of you living here, it's a good idea." His name would let others know to think twice about targeting the small boy.

"Jason, you know I trust you with Cameron. I just don't want to confuse him." She also didn't want to push. She didn't want Jason to ever wonder if she just wanted a dad for her son.

"I love him already Elizabeth, and I would be honored to be his dad. It's something that I planned on bringing up later but, I would love to adopt him." Jason covered her hand with his. "I'm hoping that at some point we'll all be Morgans." His intentions were clear, now he hoped she would let him know how she felt.

"I'd like that too." Elizabeth wanted a life with Jason.

"Good." Leaning over he kissed her softly. "I'll have Diane get started on the paperwork for the adoption." He was going to be a dad.

"We need to sit down and talk with Cam." Elizabeth knew that her son loved Jason. She saw it in the way he sought out the older man to talk and play with. In how he trusted Jason to not hurt him. He already looked up to the man he was coming to see as dad.

"We can do that in the next few days." He was nervous but hopeful. "You should review the information to make sure it's right." He pushed the papers over to her.

Elizabeth reviewed the first page and was fine. When she flipped to the second page she started getting upset. With each page she turned her temper spiked a bit more. The entire application was filled out, and everything was correct. Her salary information, her and Cam's health information even their social security numbers. "How did she get this information?" Elizabeth asked in a tight voice.

"I didn't give it to her." Jason watched as Elizabeth balled up her fist on the table.

"I never thought you did. Someone accessed all my personal information. Without my permission, someone went through my life." There was only one person she could think off who could do this. "I'm going to kill him." She said through clenched teeth. Without another word she got up and walked out of the penthouse.

Jason followed telling the guard on the door to sit in the living room and keep an ear out for Cam. He came through the door of his penthouse in time to hear Elizabeth yell for the computer hacker who lived upstairs.

"SPINELLI GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" Being a mom had its advantages. Elizabeth could yell with the best of them.

There was a loud thud from upstairs, probably Spinelli falling off of his chair. He came down the steps in a hurry. "Yes, Maternal One?" He briefly noted that Stone Cold was with her and that some of the guards were at the pool table.

"Explain this." She shoved the school form at him.

"It's the application for the Little Dude. The Valkeyrie stated that it needed to be filled out so that he could attend school with Mister Sir's progeny." Spinelli had no trouble getting the information. For a computer genius like him it was mere child's play.

"So you just went through my personal information?" Elizabeth was surprised that he admitted it.

"Did the Jackal get something wrong?" Spinelli took the papers and flipped through them. "I thought I made sure to double check everything."

"No, Spinelli everything is correct." She was fighting back tears, she was angry and as much as she hated it she tended to cry when she was angry. "Do you have any idea how violated I feel right now? You looked through my personal information. You know things about me that you have no business knowing. How could you do this to me? I trusted you. How could you tell Carly such private things?"

Jason wanted to smack himself he should have seen this coming. He was used to having the more private parts of his life rifled through, but for Elizabeth this would be upsetting. Given her history this type of intrusion into her personal business would be unsettling to say the least. Spinelli had no clue when he filled out the application he just wanted to be helpful.

"I'm sorry I meant no harm. I did not give the Valkeyrie your information I filled the forms out myself." Spinelli hadn't meant to hurt her. He was upset that she was so upset. He was also a bit worried that Stone Cold was going to clean his clock.

"Don't ever do anything like this again. You don't get to look at my personal life without my permission. Are we clear?" She was not going to go off halfcocked on him, he was trying to help. Over the last few months she'd gotten to know Spinelli well enough to know that he was really very kind. He most likely saw filling out the form as a way to help Jason and the little boy he thought of as Jason's son.

"We are clear Maternal One." Spinelli swore to the young mother. "Please don't cry."

She sniffed trying not to. "I want you to go into the kitchen and bring me every bottle of orange soda as well as every bag of bar-be-que potato chips."

Spinelli blanched. "Maternal One I swear it will not happen again." The hacker promised.

"MOVE IT SPINELLI!" Elizabeth yelled making him jump. Dragging his feet he did as instructed. "Good, now take them over to my kitchen." When he was finished she looked at the young man. "You can have them back in two weeks. Don't even think of buying more."

"Yes ma'am." A morose and subdued Spinelli responded. How was he to go two weeks without his nectar of the gods? "Maternal One?"

"Yes Spinelli?" She was calming down.

"May I still spend time with Cameron?" He really did like the little guy.

"Yes, Damian you may still spend time with Cameron." He rewarded her with a lopsided smile. Cam needed all the family he could get and Spinelli was an excellent big brother.

"Good." After checking with Jason the young man went back upstairs.

"You okay?" Jason asked smiling at how she had handled his tech guy.

"Yeah." She felt the need for a shower. A long hot shower.

He walked over to his desk and got a pen. Going to the last page of the form he signed it before handing the pen to Elizabeth. Once she had also signed it he faxed it the school. In the morning she'd get a call about orientation dates and where to get uniforms. Jason couldn't help grinning at the fact that he'd just made his first decision as Cameron's dad.

Thank you for the reviews, the follows and the favorites!
