Chapter 18

Mass with his family was wonderful. Alan and Monica did indeed attend the early service. From their pew the Morgans waved. Jason listened as Elizabeth explained to their son that the older couple were Jason's parents, which made them his grandparents. While they were on the topic of family Liz took a minute to tell Cameron that he and Ben were now cousins. The smile that lit up the little boy's face said he really liked that last part.

After the Mass ended, Jason took a second to speak to his parents. He knew that they would invite them back to the mansion to eat. It was an invitation he would be declining. Even without Liz and Cameron to consider, Jason rarely went to brunch unless Lila requested it. On weeknights the family was busy. Work and social lives kept them occupied. On a Sunday everyone was usually home. That was a hornet's nest best avoided.

While Jason took a few moments to talk with his parents Elizabeth looked around the nave of the church and watched folks socialize. She spotted Max, Milo, and Kyle. They were with a few other guys who Liz didn't know but guessed they were Jason's men. She and Cam were still sitting in their pew. "Did you like the music?"

"I like the big piano." Cameron said pointing.

"That's an organ. It's like a piano, but the sound comes from the big pipes connected to the keyboard." She would have to look that up to see if she explained it correctly. Cameron had reached the point where he asked a lot of questions about the world around him. Somethings she knew, others she didn't.

"Organ." Cameron said repeating what mommy told him. He looked and noticed that some of the pipes went almost all the way to the ceilings and that there were a lot of them. They were all different sizes but each one had a piece cut out. He wondered why that was.

Looking over he saw Jason talking to the man and lady mommy said were his Grandparents. He never had any of those before. They sometimes came to the daycare to have a visit with Ben. The big man liked the fish crackers and the lady like the ginger cookies. He wondered if he could have snack with them now too. If they were Jason's parents they would probably be nice too. He thought he might like having Grandparents to share with Ben.

Looking around more he stopped at the windows. He really liked the windows. They were lots of nice colors and when the sun came through them they painted the floor colors too. The part where the man in the white coat talked a lot was kind of boring, but Cameron stayed quiet. It helped that he could sit on mommy's lap. Maybe next time he might sit on Jason's lap. "Mommy?"

"Yes baby?" She had been watching Cameron look at the windows so she thought that he was going to ask a question about that.

"Do you think Jason will want to be my new daddy?" He asked quietly. He would be so good if that happened.

"I think Jason would love to be your new daddy." Elizabeth answered smiling. "Do you want to ask him?"

"Can you ask him?" Cameron was still scared.

"No." Elizabeth hoped she wasn't being mean. "If you want him to be your daddy, you have to ask." It was a small push, one her son needed. "You don't have to do it right away. You can take time to think about it."

"Cause it's important?" Cameron asked thinking about how mommy said you sometimes need to think about important things.

"Exactly." Elizabeth said rubbing his back. Cameron pointed and she turned to see an older man standing at the end of the pew. Behind him Jason's guys were moving quickly in their direction. Before the older man could speak Max reached him.

"Mr. Scully." Max greeted the other mob boss.

"Max." Joe Scully Jr. responded.

"Can I help you?" Max positioned himself between Mrs. Morgan and Jason's son and the mob boss.

"I was going to introduce myself to Mrs. Morgan and offer her my congratulations." Joe Scully Jr. responded. The woman was very pretty. Looked like Morgan was trading up.

"I'm sure Jason will make introductions the next time everyone is altogether. Until then it would be best if you left." Max was smiling and the request sounded polite, but it really was not.

"Tell Jason that I will be in touch." Joe nodded in Elizabeth's direction before walking off.

"We should go to the car." Max instructed. They could secure the mother and son better in the vehicle. "Call Jason and tell him to meet us there." Jason was walking his parents to their car. "Mrs. Morgan." Max didn't want to crowd her, but they needed to move.

Without a word Elizabeth picked Cameron up and they walked from the building. She had just closed his door when Jason jogged up. "We are fine." She spoke before he could.

He looked her over before nodding. Opening her door he held it until she got in. He took his place behind the wheel and turned on the radio. The speakers were set to the rear and Jason knew Cameron wouldn't hear them. "Was Cameron upset?"

"Not really. The other man didn't get close. We couldn't even hear his short conversation with Max." Elizabeth instinctively got that she needed to be calm because Jason was upset. "Who was that man?"

"Joe Scully Jr. He is the head of another family, in Rochester." There was no reason for Scully to be at Queen of Angels this morning unless he was doing business in Port Charles. Jason would check with Johnny. The head of another organization should not be in their territory without them knowing.

"Is he your enemy?" Elizabeth peeked in the back of the car and saw that Cameron was looking out the window.

"Not exactly. He was Sonny's enemy." Both Jason and Johnny suspected that Scully was behind the car bomb. "We haven't had any issues with him since my former partner's death." If Scully wanted to keep it that way he would stay away from Elizabeth. "If he approaches you let Kyle handle it."

"Okay." Elizabeth instantly agreed.

"More than likely he was curious." Jason knew that Scully referred to Elizabeth as Mrs. Morgan, so the news that he was married had gotten out. The same type of curiosity had cropped up around his first two marriages and when Johnny married Emily. Anyone wishing to test how secure Elizabeth and Cameron's security was would not like the response they provoked.

Jason didn't relax until they were in the garage. As they parked Johnny walked over. "Max called me." The big guy was at the church. Each week a different senior guard stayed at the building until both bosses had attended mass. Jason and Johnny almost never went at the same time so that if one was hurt the other could still run things. "Scully shouldn't be here."

"He wanted to see Elizabeth." Jason told his partner.

"Should we send him a message that another look would be a mistake?" Johnny drew a hard line where family was concerned. He grew up on the streets so all his family was here. He protected them fiercely.

"Yes." Jason would have made a call before, but not now. Now was the time to make a statement. "I'll send Cody."

"I already ordered security tightened on our holdings." Which after last year now included Crimson Pointe. Scully would be stupid to start a war he wouldn't win, but if he wanted his territory taken Johnny would be happy to do so. "How far will he push it?" Johnny didn't think far.

"Not too far." Jason's words echoed Johnny's thoughts. "If he does I'll put a bullet in his head myself. He knows that." They didn't respond after Sonny's death because Sonny had it coming. He had been the one provoking Joe Jr. This situation was different.

Johnny looked at Jason. Now that his blonde partner had found the other half of his soul he'd scorched the earth to protect that. Jason's reputation was already one of a man you didn't screw over. People were about to learn that what came before now was nothing. "Get them upstairs. You got some deliveries." Johnny said grinning.

"Great." Jason knew what that meant. "We will be home later if Ben wants to come play. Cameron has new toys and a new room to show off."

"I'll let Em know." Johnny said laughing. His family was waiting in the car.

Cameron held his mommy's hand in the elevator but today he didn't hide behind her legs. Jason noted that and smiled. It was just the three of them in the lift and the little boy was feeling comfortable enough to stand next to his mother. All these steps were small, but at the same time huge. "Johnny said we got some deliveries. Most likely wedding gifts. Everything will already be opened." The boxes were inspected.

"Is that normal?" Elizabeth asked looking over at Jason. "If I order something in the mail it will get opened before it comes up." She didn't really like that. Not that she planned on ordering a lot of things.

"No, most things are scanned for suspicious materials." They had the same high tech equipment airports used. "These are from other families so they get a more thorough inspection. Our organization doesn't have many enemies, but we still have to be cautious." Both he and Johnny were considered easy to get along with. They also were fair in business dealings. It hadn't taken long for others to see that they were not following Sonny's business model.

"Okay." Elizabeth could understand that. "So what do you think they sent? We aren't registered anywhere."

"I have no clue." Jason said as they stepped off the elevator. Both Courtney and Sam had registered and they ended up with crap they didn't need. Who needs a silverware setting with nine pieces for each person? Opening the door he just shook his head at all the boxes.

"Okay then." Elizabeth said looking at the piles. There had to fifty boxes in the living room. "Is this all of it?"

"Probably not." Jason told her.

Cameron was looking at the boxes with wide eyes. It wasn't Christmas so why were all these boxes here? He looked up at his mommy and tugged on her hand. When she looked down he pointed.

"When you get married, people send you presents." Elizabeth explained. "You want to help me look inside the boxes?"

The little boy nodded.

"Okay, let's get changed and we'll get to it." Elizabeth said leading him upstairs.

Ten minutes later the Morgans were in the living room on the couch. Elizabeth was in the middle of her guys. "So where should we start?" She asked Cameron. The little boy stood up and placed a box on the coffee table. "I think we should let Cam decide which boxes we open." That would give him a job.

"Okay." Jason said nodding. "Just let me know if a box is too heavy and I'll help you."

Cameron nodded.

Elizabeth took the lid off. "It's a tablet." Top of the line and the current model. "From the Rozanovich family."

"You can keep that." Jason told Elizabeth.

"Are you sure?" She knew how to use one because they had them at work. She should probably give this to Cameron.

"I have one." Jason leaned closer to her. "Spinelli is setting one up for Cameron, for his birthday." The little boy wasn't paying them any attention he was trying to decide which box would be next.

"Oh, okay." Elizabeth put the gift aside. "What's next?" Cameron grabbed a box marked fragile. "Careful." She said as she helped him set it down. "It's a punch bowl."

After his other marriages ended Jason had gotten rid of everything associated with them. Furniture and gifts. Both times he'd had punch bowls. "You'll have a side board in the dining room right?"

"I guess. That and a china hutch. This will disappear inside and collect dust." Even with family over they wouldn't need a punch bowl that was for parties. She wasn't a party throwing kind of person. "Can we re-gift?"

"No." Jason shook his head. "On the off chance we have any of these people over we need to be able to pull out their gift. Hold on." Jason got a pad and pen. "We need to keep track of who gave us what so that way it will be easier. Anything we don't need for everyday life can be stored."

"Next gift." Elizabeth requested.

Cameron brought over a small box.

"This is from Johnny Zacchara." Elizabeth looked at Jason before opening the box. "It's a car key and a picture."

Jason took the picture. "A Shelby Cobra. A car from Johnny is not surprising. Look at the label." He said laughing.

Elizabeth flipped the dangling tab. "For Cameron. He gave our almost four year old son a car?"

"A classic car." It was a blue with white racing stripes, nineteen sixty seven mint condition car. "He gave one to Ben when he was born. Ben's is red." Jason realized that Emily had the same look on her face Liz currently was sporting. "We will store it until Cameron is sixteen."

"Really?" Elizabeth just looked at her husband.

"Yeah, we have secure storage. Before the boys can drive them they'll need to overhauled and cleaned, but the body and most of the parts will still be fine." Jason wrote the gift down. "What's next buddy?"

Cameron was struggling to pull a box over. Finally he looked over at Jason.

Getting the message Jason stood up and slowly walked over. When he was standing next to his son he looked down and smiled. The little guy was still apprehensive but he hadn't run. "I'll get it."

"Lift with your knees." Elizabeth reminded being cheeky, she also noticed how close they were standing. Jason did and placed the box in front of her. "It's wine."

"No, it's whisky." Jason told her looking at the case. "Macallan."

"Is that good?" Elizabeth was holding a bottle, she knew nothing about whisky.

Jason took the bottle and put it back in the case. "It's forty year old whisky from a master. Each bottle is worth about ten thousand dollars."

"Jason there are twelve bottles here." Her eyes were huge. Trying to imagine paying that much was hard enough, to then to give it away left her baffled.

"It's from Duke Lavery, isn't it?" Jason couldn't see the card.

"Uh, yeah. He's a friend?" Probably a good one.

"He is. Johnny and I helped him out last year." Saved his life was more accurate. Johnny would have mentioned the marriage.

"Do you drink whiskey?" Elizabeth asked her husband.

"I do, but you don't open these bottles unless it's a very special occasion." Jason said laughing. "We will insure them and store them. Don't tell Johnny."

"Will he want to drink them?" Elizabeth asked putting the lid back on the box.

"No, he will go on a rant about Scottish versus Irish whiskey. He and Duke can go for hours." Jason said shaking his head. "What's next?"

The pile grew. Housewares were the biggest area. Plates, glassware, stemware, sets of pots the list went on and on. There were several more cars. All of which would be inspected before being stored. Two people gave them race horses. More alcohol was among the gifts. Some rare and some not. What impressed Elizabeth the most however were that there were gifts for Cameron included. Her son really liked the bicycle that came from Lorenzo Alcazar, who it turned out was the little boy's uncle through marriage. "I'll write up the thank you notes and you can sign them when I'm done."

"I'll address the envelopes." Jason wanted to split the work.

"Sounds good. Now I need to make lunch and then Cameron and I will get started on dinner." They were finally having the pot roast.

"Cameron do you want to help your mom cook or help me clean up?" Packing material littered the room.

Cameron grabbed his mother's hand and they left the room.

"He might be quiet but he isn't stupid." Jason muttered grabbing the trash bag to get started.

Thanks for the reviews!
