Chapter 13

She drove her SUV, and Jason followed them on the bike. "He's still behind us, mommy." Cameron said excitedly. Looking in the rearview mirror he could just see Jason's image.

"Jason is coming with us to see Dr. Diane." Elizabeth figured it was best to tell him before they all walked into the office.

"Is he gonna stay the whole time?" Cameron wasn't sure how he felt about that. He really was starting to like Jason, but he didn't want to talk about his mean daddy while Jason was there. He didn't like for other people to hear about him being a bad boy.

"No, Dr. Diane, Jason, and I have something to tell you. After that Jason and I are going to wait in the outer room, like I do. He'll probably still be there when you are done. Is that okay?" Elizabeth asked as they pulled up to a red light.

"Uh-huh." Cameron said trying to twist around to see Jason. "I like Jason."

"I like Jason too." Elizabeth told him. "Maybe sometime soon we can all ride in the car together." She put it out there to see what his reaction would be. Cameron didn't say anything. It was a small victory that he didn't out right say no. Silence meant he was thinking about it.

"Can we go to the pool sometime?" Cameron changed subjects.

"Sure." She knew he didn't want to talk about Jason being in the car. She would try again later. Sometimes Cam just needed space to think about things.

"Do you think Jason will come?" Cameron cautiously asked.

"I can ask him. I don't know if Jason can swim." Elizabeth had a lot to learn about the man she married. "What would you like for dinner? I was thinking about making pot roast."

"Yum!" Cameron said smiling. That was one of his favorites. "Can we make bread?" He liked pushing on the dough.

"I think we'll have time." Elizabeth said pulling into the garage. Jason parked next to them. The car with Milo and Kyle pulled into a space as well.

"Who are they?" Cameron had seen the two guys behind them in the garage.

"They are friends of Jason's." Elizabeth didn't get out of the car yet and Jason didn't approach them. Now he was leaning against his bike waiting. "Jason asked them to keep us safe." She just waited until Cameron spoke.

"They won't come too close right?" His voice was quiet indicating he was unsure.

"No, they won't come too close unless someone tries to hurt us." She said meeting his eyes in the mirror. "Jason doesn't want anyone to hurt us."

"Okay." Cameron would think about that. About how Jason was keeping him safe. He liked that.

"Okay." She said opening the door and getting out of the car.

Cameron pushed the button to call the elevator. Since he was now tall enough to reach it this was his job. Jason and Milo were standing behind them, Kyle had gone ahead and he would be upstairs when they arrived. Inside the elevator Cameron took up his position behind Elizabeth's legs, but he was leaning out looking at Jason and Milo.

When they reached the office they waved to the receptionist and walked to Diane's office. Like always the door was already open. Cameron knocked like he had been taught to do, and when Diane called out the Morgans walked inside. "Good Morning." Diane said smiling wide.

Cameron just smiled back. He did talk to Diane, but with Jason in the room he didn't.

This didn't surprise the doctor. Lucky had spent a lot of time teaching Cameron to be silent. So now Cameron didn't talk around most people, and never around men. "Come in and have a seat. Cameron we are going to do things a little differently this morning." Changes to the little boy's routine no longer automatically upset him, but Diane liked for her patients to know what was happening. "Your mom and Jason have something to tell you. Then you and I can talk about it if you like." Diane led them into the discussion.

"Cameron." Elizabeth waited until her son was looking at her. "Last night Jason and I got married. Do you know what that means?"

The little boy frowned, scrunching up his nose, before shaking his head no.

Elizabeth looked at Diane who just nodded. The doctor encouraged Elizabeth to talk things through with Cameron. Somethings the little boy was just too young to understand, but most concepts he could grasp quickly. "Well it means that our last name," Elizabeth pointed to herself and Cameron. "is going to be Morgan like Jason's is. We are going to be staying at Jason's house too."

Cameron looked from his mom to Jason and back again. The fact that they weren't leaving made him happy. The new last name didn't really make much of an impact. Reaching out he touched the rings on his mom's finger. He had noticed them this morning when they were holding hands.

"Jason gave me these so that people will know I'm with him." Elizabeth tried to explain.

Cameron looked over at Jason's hand. Mommy was wearing two rings but Jason only had one. It hadn't been there yesterday. So it must mean that he was with mommy. Looking down at his own hands he didn't have a ring. Did that mean he didn't belong anymore? When his eyes met his mother's they were filled with tears. Was she going to leave him now? Did he have to go back to mean daddy?

"Sweetie, what's wrong?" Elizabeth slid off the couch and held her arms out. "Don't you like Jason?"

Cameron nodded. "I don't want to go." He whispered so that Jason couldn't hear.

"We don't want you to go." Elizabeth assured the trembling little boy. She looked at Diane and then Jason. Her new husband was wearing his emotions on his sleeve. She could see his heart was breaking. "Why do you think you have to leave?"

"I don't have no ring." Cameron said holding her tight not wanting to let go.

"Just because you don't have a ring doesn't mean you have to leave." Elizabeth stroked his back and tried to calm him some. From the corner of her eye she saw Jason stand up quickly before sitting back down again.

"Cameron." Jason said softly. It took a few minutes, but the little boy finally turned in his mother's arms. He was looking at the floor and hunched over some. That just broke Jason's heart. The conversation had been hard enough, but somehow this was worse. Instead of waiting for Cameron to look up Jason extended his hand opening it so that everyone could see what was in his palm.

Elizabeth gasped softly before looking at Jason. Her new husband didn't notice because he was focused on Cameron. Diane just smiled. Cameron was in very good hands with Jason as his father. She hadn't foreseen this issue cropping up but Jason had.

"Look Cameron." Elizabeth said reaching for the small ring. "Look what Jason has for you."

The little boy finally raised his head and saw what his mother was holding. He chewed his lower lip and reached out to gently touch the piece of jewelry. He looked at his mom and then looked at Jason.

The longing in those big brown orbs damn near broke Jason. Cameron so badly wanted to trust and be loved. Spencer was in for a lot of pain when he finally surfaced. "Why don't you put it on him." Jason suggested to Elizabeth. "Look inside first."

"Okay." She was barely holding it together. Elizabeth knew from experience her crying would really upset Cameron so she blinked back the tears. "Look baby." She pointed to the letters inside. "It says Cameron Morgan. Would you like to wear this?" She wouldn't force him.

Cameron nodded slowly. Jason got him a ring too, he could stay. He could belong with them. It was all he wanted.

"Let's see." Elizabeth slipped the ring onto Cameron's ring finger and it was a perfect fit. Unlike the rings that she and Jason wore Cameron's ring was a bright blue.

"It spins." Jason said softly.

"What?" Elizabeth said not sure she heard him right.

"The ring. It's a spinner." Jason turned his ring on his finger.

Cameron copied the action. Jason's whole ring turned but only the top layer of Cameron's did. As he twisted it the top changed colors in the light. The little boy smiled and then laughed out loud.

Jason Morgan simply handed his heart over.

Elizabeth quickly wiped her eyes. She was going to have to step out soon. Even Diane was sniffling. "See we are all a family now."

Cameron nodded fascinated by the ring.

"You're mom said you'll be growing soon." Jason said as Cameron's eyes looked into his. "So when your hand gets bigger, I'll get you a new ring. Okay?"

Cameron nodded again giving Jason a small smile.

"I have one other thing for you." Jason reached into the pocket of his jacket. He pulled out a watch. "I want you to wear this. If you get scared or someone tries to hurt you I want you to push this button." Jason pointed.

"Should he push it now?" Elizabeth wanted to know what would happen.

"One sec." From his coat he pulled out a cell phone. "This is yours." He handed it to Liz. "Okay buddy, push the button."

Cameron did. Both Jason and his mom's phone started ringing. The little boy just looked at Jason.

"When you push that button it tells me, your mom, and Milo that you need help. So don't push it unless it's an emergency. Okay?" Jason said watching his son. Milo knew the test was coming.

Cameron nodded again.

"Good. Don't take it off unless your mom or I say so." Jason instructed as Elizabeth snapped it onto Cameron's wrist.

"Thank you Jason." She knew it was a safe guard in case Lucky managed to get to Cameron.

"Ben is getting one too." Jason let her know. "You two can compare them later." He said to his son.

"That was well done." Diane told Jason. "Why don't the two of you let Cameron and I talk for a while."

Jason looked at his own watch. His parents should be waiting in the reception area.

"Okay." Elizabeth stood up and gave Cameron a quick kiss. "We'll be outside when you are finished." The two adults stepped out and Elizabeth reached for Jason. "Thank you. How did you know?"

"When I woke up from the coma, I was desperate to find somewhere I fit. A place to belong, people to belong to. I knew Cameron would feel left out." That was the best he could explain it. He paused before addressing the watch. "I want him to stay safe." Jason said looking into her blue eyes. "I will do whatever I can to see that he does. That you both do." He promised.

"Jason?" Alan was standing in the reception area with Monica. They were surprised to get a call from their son asking them to meet him here of all places. Now they were surprised to see him with Elizabeth.

"Dad. Thanks for meeting me here." His parents both had early shifts so this wasn't out of the way for them. "Can we go to your office?"

"Sure." Alan caught Monica's eye. She was just as curious as he was.

Upstairs they all sat in on the couch and love seat in the office. "Elizabeth and I got married last night." Jason just spit it out.

"Really." Monica said looking from her son to her now daughter. "I wasn't aware that you two even knew each other." Jason's private life was one area they still didn't talk much about. After the way they has mishandled his waking up they tried to not be too critical of the choices he made. They had pushed hard for him to remember the other Jason. When he started working for Sonny they had almost lost him again when they pushed hard for him to quit. So now they were careful about how they offered their opinions. "Congratulations." She remembered to add.

"Yes, congratulations." Alan added not really sure what else to say. Both he and Monica knew Elizabeth. She was an excellent staff member. Worked well with the other staff members, but she kept her activities outside the hospital to herself. Her son was adorable, but had been badly hurt at some point which broke Alan's heart.

"We should have you out to the house for dinner. Cameron too." Monica said smiling. She liked this pairing a great deal. Elizabeth was smart and strong. She was a great match for Jason. Monica also thought that Jason's calm and steady presence would be good for Cameron. "Does Emily know?" Monica knew that her daughter and Elizabeth were friends.

"Yes." Jason was taking the lead for this conversation. "Elizabeth will be changing her paperwork and I wanted you to know before that happened."

"Thank you." Alan said speaking for him and his wife. That Jason considered their feelings showed how far they had come.

"Grandmother knows as well." Jason told them. That wouldn't surprise them. Jason often told Lila things he didn't share with the rest of the Quartermaines. "As for dinner, that may have to wait. Cameron is sensitive and your house is not known for being calm." No, on any given night one member of the family would be yelling at another. A lot of Quartermaines lived at the mansion.

"Maybe you could come to the penthouse sometime." Elizabeth offered looking at Jason who nodded.

"That might be better." He agreed. Cameron needed family.

"We'd love that." Monica said smiling. They didn't often go to the penthouse.

"We will need to get a table." Jason said frowning. The one in the kitchen was fine for informal meals, but if they were going to host family they needed more space. "Give us a few weeks." He asked his parents.

"Not a problem." Alan responded letting his son know there was no rush. "If it would be easier we could just have lunch here. I've seen the boys eating in the cafeteria."

Jason looked at Elizabeth and silently asked what she thought. "The penthouse would be better. It's a quieter environment and Cameron feels safe there. But having Ben over is a good idea, Emily and Johnny too."

"Just Ben might be better." Jason said smirking. Johnny avoided family dinners whenever possible. Emily too. Alan and Monica had messed up with all of their children, but were doing better with him and Emily. The situation with AJ was still bad.

"You can let us know the when and where." Monica said smiling. "There is no rush."

"Okay." Jason stood up and Elizabeth did too.

"I'm going down to fill out the paperwork so that I can be in the waiting room when Cameron is done." Elizabeth knew that if she wasn't there it scared her son.

"I'll call HR and have them fax the paperwork up to you. It can be faxed back from your house. By the time you return on Monday everything will be switched over to your new name." Alan was aware of his employee's schedules. He had felt bad about sending Elizabeth home the other day.

"Thank you." Elizabeth appreciated that. "We should get back."

"Yeah." Jason had taken Elizabeth's hand when they sat down and he was still holding it as they walked out.

When the door shut both Alan and Monica broke out in a spontaneous happy dance. "Yes!" The Chief of Staff said doing a fist pump.

"He finally married someone decent." Monica said clapping her hands. "I was afraid of who he was gonna bring home next. I thought Courtney was bad."

"Then Sam showed up." Alan finished. "Elizabeth is most likely in some kind of trouble." The speed of the marriage told them that.

"I know." Monica said sobering. "Jason will fix it."

"Did you see how he looked at her?" Alan said staring to smile again.

"I did, and I liked it." Monica was smiling again as well. "We're grandparents again."

"Let's go out and get them a wedding present. Something for Cameron too." Alan loved going to the toy store.

"I have some free time before my next surgery." Monica said looking at her watch.

"I have a meeting in ten minutes." Alan almost pouted. "We will go after work. I'll see if Emily can't tell me what Cameron likes."

In the elevator Elizabeth looked over at Jason. "That went well." She had been worried.

"They're going to go shopping." He warned her starting to grin.

"What?" Elizabeth said confused.

"My mom and dad. They are going to go shopping. For us, but mostly for Cameron." Jason said starting to laugh. "Ben's playroom at the mansion is ridiculous. I think it's going to get worse."

"How bad can it be?" Elizabeth said shrugging her shoulder.

"You just wait and see." Jason told her. She had no idea the damage his father could do in a toy store. "Will Cameron be okay if I make some changes at the penthouse?"

"What kind of changes?" He owned it he could do whatever he wanted.

"I own penthouse three. It's behind mine. Two more bedrooms and a large downstairs area. I'd like to incorporate it into our penthouse. I'll need to knock out a wall or two. That can all be done while we are out."

"I guess it will be fine." Elizabeth told him.

"Good. I'll run it be my construction foreman and get some plans for you to approve." Jason knew what he wanted he just needed to see if it could be done. "Let's go get our boy." He said as the elevator doors opened.

Thanks for the reviews!
