A/N Guest – I guess I should have been clearer. Read this from 1st chapter: "Then stop acting like a child. You know this is good for business. It doesn't have to be forever. In five years or so, you just claim irreconcilable differences." Sonny smirked at the look on Jason's face. Sonny was messing with Jason about the five years. He was teasing him that is why he mentioned a longer period of time. I understand your POV but they are in the mafia. Sonny is supposed to be controlling and business should be first with him. Even Jason said he was all about business himself, but Sonny still thought Liz would be good with Jason and he wanted him to be happy.

I would say that from writing this story, I have learned to just put more of what the characters are thinking down. I hesitated to do that before because I thought that you really don't know that on the show and that I'd reveal things as I went along, but from all the feedback I've gotten, it's helped me to see that I should spend more time with character thoughts. Sometimes, when you're writing, you know all this information in your head and you think you wrote something or that you were clear but you weren't. So, all of your feedback has helped me to be a better writer. I think I improved on that as the story progressed. So, big thanks to all of you who leave feedback. I could have easily made this story a perfect fairytale, but I wanted it to be angsty and show how the characters grew.

Chapter 58 – Surprise

Three weeks later

Jason retrieved a blindfolded Liz out of the SUV. He led her a little way forward and then took it off. "Surprise," he said watching her reaction.

"Oh, my God!" Liz yelled running up to the house. "Is it finished?"

Jason smiled. "For the most part…" This is one of the hardest secrets Jason had ever kept.

She hugged him and the baby kicked.

Jason pushed her back and looked down at her grinning.

"You felt that?" she asked.

"Yes. That was incredible," Jason said before hugging her again.

Liz stepped back. "Can I see the house?"

Jason grabbed her hand and they went inside. As soon as they moved in further, she started to cry. It looked exactly the same again.

Jason rubbed her back. "Are you happy, baby?"

Liz nodded.

"I have some surprises for you," he said leading her upstairs. They came to their bedroom and Liz peered inside. It is the same except there is a bassinet in the corner. She ran over to it and picked up a blanket that had been thrown over the side rail. "Jason, it's beautiful."

He smiled. "Come on," he said holding out his hand. He led them next door and pushed the door open.

Liz started bawling. She slowly entered the room and there was a crib, dresser and changing station, stuffed animals, a rocking chair, toys, and books. It is incredible. "Oh Jason, it's perfect."

He hugged her from behind. "I picked blue, but I left one wall blank for you to paint."

"It's so wonderful. I can't believe you did all of this."

"Your mom helped."

Liz grinned.

"Come on," he said leading her down the hallway. They went to a room right across from Jason's gym. "Open the door."

Liz took a deep breath and moved inside. "Holy Shit," she said as she perused the space. It is a beautiful art studio. There are huge windows that let in a lot of natural light. The room is adorned with a few easels and a couch and desk. It is stunning.

"It's soundproofed, so you don't have to worry about being disturbed and you can listen to the baby's room through the intercom system. I also have a very powerful vent so that the air is fresh in here. You can even bring the baby inside while you paint if you want," he said proudly.

"Oh Jason, it's perfect," she said completely overwhelmed. He walked her over to the couch and sat as Liz took it all in. After a few minutes, she climbed onto his lap. "I say that we christen the room."

Jason smirked. "Do you now?" Liz was already unbuttoning his shirt.

"Definitely," she said kissing his neck and grinding against him.

Jason is already used to her "appetite". Sometimes, they did it three or more times a day and he wouldn't change a thing. Although, the bigger she gets does make him a little nervous about losing control. Liz tended to not care too much about foreplay, which he misses.

She could feel him get harder as Jason took over and kissed her sensuously. Liz moaned as he kissed her neck and undid her pants. She stood and then wiggled out of them and her underwear. Jason took the opportunity to ditch his and then laid on the couch long ways. Liz noticed that he wasn't all the way hard, so she climbed between his legs and licked him and sucked him until he was more than ready. "Feels so fucking good," he said as she deep throated him and pumped him up and down with her hand. She let him slip from her mouth and then straddled him, positioning herself over his cock. Jason's hips rose as she sank onto him and they soon found themselves in a familiar rhythm. She moved faster as Jason filled her over and over. "Oh God," she yelled as the orgasm slammed through her body. Jason paused and then grabbed her hips and feverishly pumped until he came yelling her name.

Liz grinned as she slipped off of him and lay on her side. "I love our house, Jason. Thank you."

He smiled. "I love you more than anything. I hope you realize that."

"I do. I love you too."

They cuddled for a few more minutes and then got dressed. "When can we move in?"

"The movers will be at our other house packing up tomorrow," he said.

"Can we sleep here tonight?"

He nodded. "I thought you'd want to, so I packed a suitcase."

"You know me too well," Liz said hugging him.

They walked back to the nursery so Liz could start planning her mural.

The rest of the week Liz unpacked and organized. Jason made sure that she had helpers so she didn't overdo it.

Morning came fast. Liz yawned and got out of bed, taking a long look at her husband who is still passed out. She had roused him twice for sex since midnight and he was exhausted. She grinned at the delicious memory and went to take a shower. Once she was dressed, she headed downstairs to get some breakfast and was just finished eating when there was a knock on the door. Johnny opened it and peeked inside.

"Hey, Johnny," Liz said walking towards him.

"You have some visitors," he said smiling.

Liz watched as he opened the door all the way and Tess and John brushed past him. She squealed as she looked at Tess's belly. "Oh my God, look at you," she said before kissing Tess on the cheek. John gave her a hug and they got comfortable.

Jason stepped out of their bedroom with just his pajama bottoms on and moved onto the landing and Tess, who was facing him, chuckled. "Good morning slacker," she said yelling up at him.

"I'll be down soon," he said before heading back to the room.

"I thought he got up earlier than you," Tess said.

Liz grinned. "I think that I kind of wore him out last night."

John shook his head as the women laughed. "TMI," he said getting up to get Tess some water.

"What are you guys doing here?" Liz asked.

"We were looking at the house we might purchase," Tess said.

"Awesome. Where is it?"

"It's about a mile down the street."

"That's perfect."

John came back with some water for both of the women. "Drink up ladies."

They took a sip and then continued talking. "How soon do you think it will be before you'll move in?" Liz asked.

"If everything works out it will probably be right after Thanksgiving," Tess said.

"You did get my invitation right?"

"Yes. We've already made arrangements to stay with Claudia."

"I'm so glad that you will be joining us. So, do you want to have your wedding before or after I pop?"

Tess smiled. "I was thinking about that. I don't want it to be too hard on you, so I thought maybe the end of May. Do you think that you will be too tired?"

"No. I'll be in my eighth month if we have it in March."

Tess shrugged. "Let's just have it at the end of May then."

Johnny was wishing that Jason came back downstairs. If they were going to go into full-blown wedding talk on him, his brain is going to go to mush.

Thankfully, Jason came lumbering down the stairs.

John stood. "Hey. Having a hard time keeping up with the second trimester?" he asked mischievously.

Jason rolled his eyes. "Please, I saw the picture of you passed out last weekend. I don't even want to hear it."

John chuckled. "Touche…"

"Let's go to the man cave," Jason said leading the way.

Liz glanced at Tess. "You want to go see the nursery?"

She nodded and they went upstairs.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

"Oh my God! This is to die for," Tess said as she entered the room.

"Jason did a great job."

Tess agreed. She sat in the rocking chair. "I love this chair. I'll have to get me one."

Liz made a mental note that maybe she could buy another one for their special gift.

"Don't buy a lot of stuff before your baby shower," Liz cautioned.

"Says the woman who has a fully decorated nursery already," Tess said grinning.

Liz looked around. "You've got a point. I don't think Jason or my mother considered that."

"What are you going to paint on this wall?"

"I'm not sure yet. I have a few ideas floating around."

"Well, maybe you could paint something on mine."

Liz grinned. "I would love that."
