Chapter 64

Elizabeth was up bright and early the next morning to help Cam get ready for school. She'd woken up in what was for her a cranky mood. Just listening to her son ramble from one topic to another was making her feel better. When she walked, with his hand in hers, downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast Jason just looked at her and smiled. She just sniffed she was still annoyed that he laughed at her last night.

The silence between the married couple was filled with chatter between Spinelli and Cam. By the time Rory arrived Jason knew he was firmly in the doghouse. He had some groveling in his future. Francis and Johnny arrived just as the little boy was leaving. "You're back." Jason said to the green-eyed guard.

"Last night." Johnny said reaching for a coffee mug.

"You get everything handled okay?" Jason asked his friend.

"Yup." Johnny said grinning. Kelly's ex would not be bothering her again. Based on the number of pictures the man still had of her, he would not have stayed away for long. Now that wasn't a worry. "How are things here?"

"Jason's in trouble." Francis smirked fixing his own coffee. He had noticed Elizabeth giving her husband the eye.

"What did you do?" The three men looked over to the kitchen table where Elizabeth was cleaning up.

"I laughed at her." Jason said starting to smile unable to stop himself.

"Wanna share?" Johnny loved a good laugh.

"We were talking about the time she held a gun on me." Jason said smiling. Damn, if he laughed again she would ask Francis to teach her how to use a gun and then he'd be in serious trouble.

"The time when the safety was on?" Johnny asked starting to laugh. Francis was right with him.

"She's gonna hurt us all." Jason said giving up.

Elizabeth walked over and threw the cleaning sponge in the sink. "Ha, ha. Make fun of the person in the room who has never killed anyone." The three of them were now on her shit list. It wasn't funny, at the time she'd been serious about shooting Jason.

"It's funny." Francis said chuckling.

"I don't like any of you right now." Elizabeth said glaring at them. That only made them laugh harder. "Fine. I'm going to my studio." She said turning to storm off. Instead she sucked in a sharp breath as one hand went to the counter and the other to her stomach.

All three men rushed to her side. "What's wrong?" Jason asked trying not to panic. There had been one too many complicated pregnancies lately. Even though he didn't show it he was still somewhat scared for his wife.

"Nothing." Elizabeth said straightening out.

"That didn't look like nothing." Francis said concerned.

Johnny was on the phone. "She's in pain." Was what he said before holding out his phone. "Talk to Kelly."

"Hi." Elizabeth said to her friend.

"What happened?" Kelly asked concerned. "Braxton-Hicks?"

"No soccer practice." Elizabeth grabbed her stomach and pushed lightly. The baby was very active this morning.

"You sure." Kelly was prepared to be overly cautious.

"Yup. It wasn't a cramp. If anything changes I will come in. I promise." Elizabeth told her friend.

"All right." Kelly responded slowly. "Doctors and nurses make the worst patients. Please don't think I don't know that. I will not hesitate to check your ass into the hospital." The petite doctor threatened.

"Duly noted." Elizabeth hung up and turned to face the three men who would spend the rest of the day watching her. "Don't even say it. I will go to the couch and put my feet up." She waddled out of the room.

"You go get her shoes I'll warm up the car." Francis said to Jason. There was no way she wasn't going to get checked out. They weren't going to lose her too.


Jason refused to let her walk the short distance from the car to the door. Elizabeth knew what would happen if he carried her into the hospital and her prediction came true. Every single person who could come look at her did. Starting with Kelly and ending with Alan. Emily even took a turn with the stethoscope. They all stood there waiting. "So is she okay?" Jason finally asked.

"She seems fine." Kelly was standing there with her arms crossed. "But I want her to stay for observation." She'd sent Robin home with instructions to put her feet up and rest. Six hours later her friend was in a coma.

"Why?" Elizabeth had had enough. "I'm not staying. There is nothing wrong with me. The baby kicked hard and it caught me off guard. I'm fine." The monitor beeped.

"Your blood pressure is up." Emily said frowning.

"I swear Emily if you don't leave you will not live to see the end of your residency. My blood pressure is up because you all are irritating me. I'm fine and I want to go home." She sounded like a spoiled child but she didn't care.

The monitor beeped again and Kelly turned to Epiphany. "Admit her."

"I'm on it." The head nurse turned to get everything set up.

"I will get you for this." Elizabeth said to her husband with as much menace as she could summon. She had just over a month before her due date. Elizabeth wondered if she would be able to keep from killing her husband.


Cam was spending the night at Greystone and Jason was dozing in a chair next to his wife's bed. She hadn't said a word to him since she got admitted. Kelly said she was looking good but still refused to release her. Elizabeth got that they cared about her, but this was ridiculous. She should be at home. Her shower was in a few days and she had a painting she needed to finish. She planned to gift it to Emily to say thank you. Elizabeth shifted trying to get more comfortable and instantly Jason was on his feet.

"Did you need something?" He asked still anxious.

"I want to go home." Elizabeth said trying not to whine.

"Kelly wants you to stay." Jason pointed out.

"Kelly is paranoid because of Robin's complications and the fact that Carly wouldn't listen. I'm behaving. I've done everything she said. I'm fine and I want to go home." Elizabeth dropped her head into her hands and started crying.

"What's wrong, why is she crying?" Lorenzo asked from the doorway.

Elizabeth just cried harder as Jason gathered her close. "She wants to go home but Kelly wants her to stay. Why are you here?" He asked the other man. Lorenzo was the last person he wanted to see.

"My sister is in the hospital. Thanks for the call by the way." Lorenzo had heard about Elizabeth from Skye. "I know you don't like me but I am her family. If she is ill I should know about it."

"I had other things to worry about." It hadn't even crossed Jason's mind to call Lorenzo.

"Why are you opposed to me being around Elisabetta?" Lorenzo wasn't going to be pushed out of his sister's life.

"For the same reason you don't want her with me. How many people have you pissed off around the globe? You are a danger to my family." Jason stood up and fully faced his brother in law.

"And you aren't a danger to them. There are more people who know your name then mine." Lorenzo pointed out.

"Those people know not to mess with me. Can you say the same thing?" Jason knew what his reputation was. Only someone who wanted to die was going to come after his family. He would have no problem making that wish a reality.

The two men were so busy posturing that they weren't paying attention to the very upset brunette in the hospital bed. Having her husband and brother getting in each others faces was not helping her to stay calm. Her blood pressure spiked and when the monitor beeped half the hospital came running.

"What happened?" Kelly frowning at the read out.

"They are going to kill each other." Elizabeth sobbed as she pointed to the two men standing on opposite sides of her bed.

"Out." Kelly glared at them and pointed at the door. "I need to examine my patient."

"I'm her husband I don't have to leave." Jason wasn't going anywhere.

"I'm her brother I don't have to leave either." Lorenzo wasn't budging.

"I'm the head nurse and if the two of you don't leave this room immediately I will show you a level of pain that you never knew existed." Epiphany told them.

Both men grumbled as they walked into the hall. "This is your fault." Lorenzo told the blonde enforcer.

"No it's not, things were fine until you showed up." Jason said taking a step forward and balling up his fist.

That was when Sonny arrived. He took a look at the situation and shook his head. "Is there a problem?" How the hell did he become the calm one?

"Him." Jason and Lorenzo said in stereo.

"How is Elizabeth?" Sonny asked he would deal with frick and frack in a minute.

"She was fine until he showed up and got in my face." Jason answered first.

"She was not fine. She was crying when I showed up." Lorenzo countered.

Sonny wiped his mouth to cover his grin. Jealousy was a bitch. "Johnny take Jason for a walk." At Lorenzo's smug look Sonny continued. "Francis you take Lorenzo. I'll wait to see how Elizabeth is doing." The mob boss knew if they weren't separated they were going to come to blows right here in the hospital.

As the foursome walked off, in two different directions, Kelly came out of the room. "Where are the idiot twins?"

"I made them take a walk. How is she?" Sonny asked the doctor.

Technically Sonny wasn't family but Kelly knew her friend didn't care if she told him. "Fine. I admit I overreacted by having her admitted, but those two will cause a complication if they don't calm down around Elizabeth. This late in the pregnancy I don't want blood pressure problems."

"I will handle it." Sonny smiled showing his dimples. "Can I go in?"

"Absolutely." Kelly told Sonny.

"Hi sweetheart." Sonny said walking in

"Hi Sonny. Have you seen Jason?" Elizabeth needed to put an end to his and Lorenzo's bickering today.

"He went for a walk. How are you two doing?" He asked sitting on the side of the bed.

"Better." Elizabeth was tired. It was almost time for her nap. "Thanks for letting Cam stay over."

"He's family." Sonny told her waving her thanks away. "Can I get you anything?"

"A taser." That would calm the two stubborn men down. She grabbed Sonny's hand and placed it on her stomach.

"He's very active." Sonny said grinning. This time last year he wouldn't have thought he'd be sitting in a hospital room feeling Jason's son kick. "And strong." The mob boss grinned when the baby kicked again.

"Kelly said he's healthy. Sonny, would you be our baby's godfather?" Elizabeth asked quietly. Jason was going to ask but the moment was too good to pass up.

"Me? I figured you'd ask Francis or Johnny." Sonny was pleased and humbled.

"Francis is Cam's godfather. Johnny get's the next baby." Elizabeth explained.

"I would be honored. Thank you." Sonny said leaning forward to kiss her cheek. "You are good for Jason."

"Thank you. " Elizabeth yawned wide. "Sorry."

"Don't be. You need your rest." Sonny held her hand until she was asleep then went out into the hall. It was time to deal with Jason and Lorenzo. Now all he had to do was figure out how exactly to go about doing that. Both men were stubborn and both wanted the other one gone. Sonny laughed to himself as he thought about how often Jason had to step in to keep him from doing something stupid. What goes around really did come back around. Sonny pulled out his phone and sent a message to Corelli and O'Brien. It was time this ended.
