Chapter 56

Elizabeth was sitting in Kelly Lee's waiting area. Her appointment was in fifteen minutes and her husband was nowhere in sight. He'd called her just as she was leaving the house to tell her that he needed to meet with Sonny. Jason assured her he would make the appointment. She hoped that he was right, but would understand if work kept him away. This was an appointment he didn't want to miss. Today they were hoping to find out if Elizabeth was right about the baby being a boy.

"I'm sure the boss will be here any second." Max said smiling at the petite brunette.

"I'm sure too." Elizabeth told Max. The big guard had been added to her rotation last week. Francis was needed elsewhere at the moment.

The door to the exam area opened and Maxie Jones walked out. The teen was visibly pregnant. Turning she saw Elizabeth and went right on the attack. "Well if it isn't St. Elizabeth. I hope you're happy. Because of you Lucky won't get to see his baby being born."

"I'm not the reason Lucky's in jail right now. If you want someone to blame take a look in the mirror." Elizabeth was not about to put up with any crap from this girl.

"You're just jealous because the sex with me was better." Maxie shot back.

"Honey, if Lucky is involved the sex is never better." Elizabeth knew what good sex was. At no point during the time she was with Lucky did she have it.

"You bitch! Lucky is more than man enough. If you weren't so busy chasing after other men then you would know that. You weren't woman enough for him, that's why he came to me. When those trumped-up charges you have against him get tossed out and he comes home he's going to be with me." The blonde insisted.

"He came to you because you had the drugs he wanted. Don't kid yourself that he loves you. You're just someone else he used to get what he wants. You are welcome to him. I've moved on." Elizabeth told the younger woman.

"Didn't take you long to start fucking Jason did it? I guess you aren't the good girl everyone believes. You're just another home wrecker. Everyone knows Jason is only with you because Sam is dead." Maxie said trying to hurt Elizabeth.

"If I'm a home wrecker then I guess I'm in good company." Elizabeth had had enough. "You and that baby are welcome to Lucky." With that she walked into the back to find Kelly.

"Hey I was just coming to get you." Kelly noticed her friend was shaking. "What's wrong?" She reached out and took her friend's pulse. "Let's get you in a room."

Elizabeth allowed herself to be led back. "Maxie Jones got in my face." She explained as Kelly assisted her up onto the exam table. "That bitch actually tried to tell me that Lucky was with her because she was better in bed. I wanted to hit her so bad, but I had to remember that we are both pregnant. She stood there and announced that Lucky was going to be with her like I wanted him back. She can have him. Why would I want a whiny little boy when I have a real man like Jason?" Elizabeth ranted, pissed at the stupid teenager.

"Sweetie your pulse is racing. You need to calm down." The doctor put on the blood pressure cuff. "And your blood pressure is up. Elizabeth I told you that you need to avoid stress."

"I was avoiding stress. I saw Maxie as soon as she stepped through the door and I didn't say a word. She's the one who attacked me." Elizabeth pointed out.

"Isn't that why you have a guard? So that people who bother you can't get close?" Kelly wondered out loud.

Elizabeth didn't get a chance to answer her friend. A knock sounded and Jason stepped into the room. Max had just told him about the confrontation. "You okay?" He asked his wife. Maxie had not been one of the people he was worried about.

"Her blood pressure is up." Kelly said frowning. "I'm going to go inform the receptionist that Elizabeth and Maxie can not be scheduled on the same day again. I want you to calm her down before I get back." Kelly told Jason pointing to Elizabeth.

"Max should have stepped in." Jason said frowning. He would speak to the guard and make sure that this didn't happen again.

"And done what Jason, punch her. There was nothing he could do so you leave Max alone. She wanted to rub it in my face that she was having Lucky's baby and that he loves her. She can have him." Elizabeth was getting worked up again. She needed to calm down. "How was your meeting?" She asked switching topics.

Jason didn't want to stress Elizabeth more but there was something that she needed to know. "Someone new has been seen in the area."

"Someone you don't like?" Elizabeth asked taking deep breaths.

He smiled at how well she knew him. "A man named Andre Karpov has been to visit Lucky several times now. Lorenzo is gathering information on him but we know that he has ties to Russia. We don't know why he's talking with Lucky so I want you to stay close to your guards for the time being." Jason didn't like this development at all. Russia could easily mean Helena Cassadine. She'd used Lucky for her own reasons once before, she could be planning on doing so again. Maybe in retaliation for Elizabeth and Emily getting Nicholas deported.

"I won't worry unless you give me a reason." She told him placing her faith in him. "Let's talk about something else." Since this new topic was stressing him out.

"Okay. I got the Chuggin Charlie train." Jason said grinning.

"No." Elizabeth was smiling now too. "How, everywhere is sold out. I called six different stores this morning."

"I have my ways." Jason just said. It hadn't been easy getting the toy but it was the one thing his son wanted the most and Cam was not going to be disappointed.

"He's going to be so happy tomorrow morning." Elizabeth couldn't wait to see his eyes light up. "No more gifts." She told her husband. Jason had almost gotten out of control with what he wanted to buy their son.

Before he could answer Kelly came back in. "Let's have a look." She put the blood pressure cuff back on. "Much better. Good work dad. Wanna peek in on the kid?"

"Yup." Elizabeth wouldn't ever turn down a chance to see her baby.

"Cute top." Kelly told her friend as she lifted the brightly colored peasant blouse. Once Elizabeth pushed down her pants Kelly squirted on some gel and picked up the wand. "What time do you want us over tomorrow?"

"Dinner is going to be at five. So anytime after three is good." Elizabeth said watching the screen. "There." She pointed out to Jason.

"He looks good." Kelly told her friends.

"It's a boy?" Jason said smiling wide.

"Why are you surprised Elizabeth already told you the baby was a boy?" Kelly had delivered a lot of babies and about seventy percent of the mom's instinctively knew what they were carrying.

"Don't doubt my mommy superpowers." Elizabeth said laughing. She and Jason were going to have another son.

"Your weight is better. Keep up with the regular meals and try to avoid stress." Kelly said as her friend sat up. "Will you be at the Christmas party tonight?" The annual hospital Christmas party was a not to be missed event.

"I wouldn't miss it." Elizabeth told her friend. "First Mass, then the hospital party followed by dinner at the Quartermaine's and finally home to spend time with my boys." It would be a long night but one filled with family.

"Any questions for me?" Kelly asked them, when they both said no the doctor reminded Elizabeth to watch her stress before leaving the room.

They were walking back to the elevators when Elizabeth spotted Audrey. The two hadn't spoken since Audrey's visit to penthouse two. Mindful of staying away from stress Elizabeth was prepared to simply ignore the older woman. The odds of Audrey having anything pleasant to say were slim. So the younger woman headed for the elevator with Max and Jason on either side of her.

"Elizabeth." Audrey said as her granddaughter approached. She'd seen the wedding announcement in the papers and looking at her she could see that there was another development as well. "You're pregnant."

The disappointment was clear in her tone. "Yes, I am." Was all Elizabeth chose to say.

"That didn't take long." Audrey just shook her head. "I had hoped that you would have come to your senses by now and realized that this is not the life you and my great-grandson should be leading. I taught you to make better choices than this."

"You taught me a lot of things. Mainly that the only way to get your love was to do exactly as I was told. And I have come to my senses. I figured out exactly where my life went wrong in August." Elizabeth was referring to the night of the blackout. She felt Jason's hand on her arm and nodded silently telling him that she would stay calm.

"I've been to see Lucky he wants you to know he never meant to hurt you." Audrey assumed her granddaughter was referring to the day Lucky hit her.

"I could care less what Lucky says. He was abusing me long before he hit me. You don't need to concern yourself with me or Cameron from here on out. I recently learned that I'm not really a Webber at all. So you don't have to worry about me tarnishing the family name." Somehow the fact that she and Lorenzo were related hadn't yet been made public. Elizabeth suspected that Edward had something to do with that.

Audrey stiffened her spine. "What do you mean?"

"I was kidnapped as a baby and the people who had me gave me to Jeff. Along with a large amount of cash." Elizabeth reached behind her and Jason linked her fingers with his. "So from here on out you can just pretend you don't know me."

"Did Mr. Morgan tell you that? I'm sure he'd say whatever he had to so that he could keep you in his bed." Audrey didn't believe what Elizabeth was telling her.

"Contact Jeff and ask him. Ask him about the miscarriage that Carolyn suffered when they were in South America. Ask him how if his wife lost their baby did they come home with me?" Elizabeth was done with this. "At least I don't have to live anymore with you looking down your nose at me. Constantly making me feel that I'm not good enough. My real family loves me and that's all that matters." Elizabeth squeezed Jason's hand and he knew that she was ready to go.

Max called for an elevator and the three of them got on leaving a stunned Audrey by the visitor's lounge. Elizabeth took her pulse and was happy to see that it was right where it should be. She caught Jason's eye and gave him a smile. "I'm going home and have my snack before taking a nap. You need to be home by five to get changed." He was wearing a suit since they were going to Mass.

"Okay." If she didn't want to talk about what just happened he wouldn't push.

At the car she gave him a kiss and let Max open the door for her. The confrontation with Audrey felt good. It was long over due. "Max."

"Yes, Mrs. M?" Max gave a quick look to his passenger. He would never say it out loud but pregnant women made him nervous.

"Can we stop and get some ice cream?" All of a sudden she wanted something sweet.
