Chapter 25

Jason was taking a huge risk, but he thought that Cameron could use this. If it backfired he would take the blame, and deal with Elizabeth's anger. Something inside Jason told him it wouldn't. He was relying on what he learned after he woke up from his coma. Not the anger part although that phase lasted long enough for him to become entangled with Sonny. No he was talking about the part that came after. The part where he decided that he would give the Quartermaines another change. A decision he owed to Lila.

They passed through the gates and drove up the long paved driveway until they were at the front door of the mansion. Looking over he watched his family take the massive home in. This type of lifestyle was not the one for him. One day he wanted a real house, but not something on this scale.

"It's really big." Elizabeth said looking over at Jason. "Did you like living here?"

"That's a mixed question." One that still left him uneasy. "Not at first, because I was angry all the time that the family was looking for me to be someone I wasn't. Then later whenever I stayed over I felt…lost." Jason didn't know how else to explain it.

"Too much space." Elizabeth said seeing Jason's eyes fill with surprise.

"Exactly. No one else has ever understood what I meant." He said smiling.

"You probably felt separated from everyone else. What you needed was closeness." She only knew because of Cameron.

Jason nodded. "Lila is inside. If Cameron is agreeable, so are Alan, Monica, and Edward. Emily dropped Ben off as we were leaving the Towers. After breakfast I thought we'd take the boys to the science museum. The one for kids, where they can get into all kinds of mischief." Jason smiled at her. "After this morning he needs family."

"He does." Elizabeth wanted to try. "Cameron, would you like to meet your Grandparents?"

The little boy's eyes widened and he nodded quickly. Jason really wasn't mad if he was taking him to see his Grandparents. Unless he was leaving. Cameron dimmed a bit as he pointed to Jason.

"I'm staying." The blonde smiled.

Cameron smiled again.

They piled out of the car and headed up the front steps. Jason didn't even get to knock before the door was opened. "Hello Alice."

"Mr. Jason." The maid was just as excited as everyone else after Jason's early morning phone call. She adored playing with Ben and was hoping that Cameron would want to play as well. She knew that she had to be patient, but despite her size Alice was very gentle.

"This is my wife Elizabeth and my son Cameron." He said smiling.

"Welcome, Mrs. Elizabeth." The maid shook her hand. "And welcome to you Master Cameron." She shook his hand which made him laugh. Yeah she was going to have a new friend.

"It's just Elizabeth." Liz corrected, although is Alice called Jason Mr. she doubted anything would change. Looking over Liz was surprised to see Diane.

"Good morning." The doctor grinned. "Jason asked me to come over."

Elizabeth looked at her husband. "You did?"

"I knew that this was a risk. I don't ever want to hurt him." Jason said quietly.

"Thank you." Elizabeth gave him a quick kiss and watched as he blushed.

Diane was liking the interaction. While their body language didn't indicate a physical closeness she knew it was coming. Hopefully literally. Orgasms did wonders to relax the body. "I'll just hang back and observe, if I'm not needed I'll let myself out."

"Okay. Ready?" Elizabeth asked Cameron who nodded. "We will follow you in."

"Sure hide behind me." Jason said as he headed over to the parlor. Everyone would be in there. If this went well, they would head to the dining room to eat breakfast. If it didn't they would grab the boys and run.

"Cameron!" Ben jumped down from Monica's lap and greeted his cousin. "You came over. Maimeo said you were."

Jason leaned over and whispered in Elizabeth's ear. "Ben uses the Gaelic words for Grandmother and Grandfather to address Monica and Alan. Maimeo for Monica and Daideo for Alan. He calls Lila Nana and Edward Poppa."

"Cameron can do the same if they don't mind." Elizabeth would go with whatever made everyone comfortable. "He will most likely want to."

"That's fine." Jason didn't care.

"Come on." Ben was apparently going to handle introductions. "Maimeo this is Cameron. He doesn't talk much, but he's a lot of fun." Ben added.

"Hello Cameron." Monica said using all her will power to stay seated. Diane had said it would be best to let the little boy come to them. She had also warned Alan and Edward they would most likely not get that at this first meeting.

Cameron stood next to his cousin but didn't get any closer just yet. He was worried they wouldn't like him as much as Ben. So for now he just waved.

"That's Daideo." He pointed to Alan. "He gives good piggyback rides."

Cameron looked at the big man and waved tentatively.

"Next to him is Poppa. He likes to read the paper to me. You can sit with us." Ben wanted to share with his cousin. Daddy said it was important that Cameron get time too. Ben also wanted to play with Cameron's new toys in the playroom. He wasn't allowed to touch them until Cameron came over. "That's Nana. She's really soft so you have to be careful." Ben explained. It was something he sometimes forgot.

Of all his new Grandparents, it was Lila he moved to first. No one was surprised. He looked at her and saw she had the same kind of eyes as Jason did. She had a wheelchair, he knew because mommy taught him that word. He wondered why her legs didn't work. Gently he touched her hand and saw that Ben was right, she was soft and she smelled nice too. He gave her a shy smile just wanting her to love him.

"Sweetheart it is wonderful to meet you. Welcome to the family." Lila's blue eyes twinkled at a new child to love. Her hand covered his and she could feel him trembling a bit. "Ben has been telling us all about you. Will you sit next to me at breakfast so we can get to know each other better?"

Cameron nodded then looked at his parents who nodded too. Being brave he went to Monica next. Slowly he stood next to her. She seemed nice to. She didn't have eyes like Jason, but at the daycare she laughed a lot. He liked her smile.

"Can I give you hug?" Monica asked dying too.

Cameron gave her a shy smile.

"Thank you." She wrapped him in a tight hug. Looking at her son and new daughter she mouthed thank you to them as well. "I would like to sit on the other side of you, if you don't mind."

Cameron nodded again.

"Good. Are you hungry? We can go eat now." Monica offered. "Jason said you like bacon."

"Come on Cameron, I'll show you the dining room. It has a really big table." Ben was so excited his cousin was here.

"Since I am not needed I will go." Diane said waving.

Edward pushed Lila's wheelchair out following the chattering of his grandson. Alan and Monica walked with Jason and Elizabeth. "He's doing better." Monica observed. Cameron was not the painfully shy boy who had first arrived at the daycare.

"He is." Elizabeth concurred. "We take it one day at a time. Diane is wonderful with him and Jason is so patient." Elizabeth looked over at her husband. "I'm looking forward to you getting to know Cameron." She looked at Alan. "He will warm up to you, but it will happen slowly."

"I can be patient." The Chief of Staff promised.

"Thank you." Elizabeth said as they reached the dining room. She noted that Jason wasn't talking much, but since Monica and Alan weren't surprised she let it go.

Breakfast went well and after the boys finished Ben took Cameron to the see the new playroom. Jason promised to show Elizabeth before they left. Before the boys left the dining room Cameron made his mother promise that she and Jason would not leave without him in a whispered conversation. This morning's scare was still fresh in his memory. Once he knew they would stay he happily followed a chatty Ben off.

As the boys left, with Alice along to supervise, another member of the family put in an appearance. "Well a family breakfast. Why didn't someone notify me? I would have scheduled my meeting for another day." Tracy smirked. Seeing the newcomer she had an idea why she hadn't been told.

"Contrary to what you think the world doesn't revolve around you Tracy." Monica had no patience with her sister in law. "Jason called this morning and asked to come over."

"To bring the new wife." Tracy snarked. Fresh meat. The last two were terrified of her. This one looked a lot smaller and should be easy to cow. It was Tracy's nature to attack first. "Where's the rug rat?"

"Cameron." Elizabeth corrected. She knew all about Aunt Tracy. Emily was not a fan. She had already warned Elizabeth that Tracy would go right on the attack.

"Based on Jason's track record you won't be around long enough for it to matter." Tracy said taking a seat at the table. "So what variety of gold digger are you? Stripper, private investigator, secretary?" Tracy asked with disdain.

"Nurse practitioner." Elizabeth said smiling. Another bully. She squeezed Jason's hand under the table to let him know she was fine.

"Really?" Tracy was surprised. "How interesting."

"It is." Elizabeth smiled as she landed her first blow. "Not as interesting as being the CEO of a company. Tell me how does it feel to run your father's company to near bankruptcy? Is it as interesting as being demoted by your father and fired by your son in the same week?"

Tracy hadn't expected the barb, and was for a moment rendered speechless. Jason hadn't ever brought home a woman who fought back. Most had something to hide and just let Tracy rant. "You can read impressive."

"I have a lot of skills you might like." Elizabeth arched an eyebrow.

Edward leaned over to Alan and whispered. "I like this one."

"Me too." Alan whispered back.

"Tracy do not be rude to a guest." Lila was exasperated by her daughter. Not to mention embarrassed.

"It's fine Mrs. Quartermaine. A good debate keeps the mind sharp." Elizabeth said with a nasty grin. "I am more than capable of handling your daughter."

"Grandmother dear." Lila smiled at the young woman. She hadn't said that to protect Elizabeth from Tracy. It was in fact the other way around. Jason had been honest about the reason he was marrying Elizabeth. A person didn't survive that if they were weak. Tracy had picked the wrong opponent. Her daughter was genuinely a good person, she was however ruled by insecurities that made her acerbic. "You will of course have to come to tea."

Elizabeth's smile was radiant. "I would love to. Thank you."

"How touching." Tracy said giving a fake smile. "Jason swoops in and plays white knight to you and your son. Where is he anyway?"

"In the playroom. Where are yours? If I remember correctly, your eldest doesn't speak to you and your youngest does but only if he has too. That is what they both said in their last interviews. Dillon went so far as to say the mom in his last movie was based on you. I saw that movie, not a flattering portrayal." Elizabeth shot back, still smiling. Tracy would not be allowed to attack Cameron.

"This family doesn't need another bastard." Tracy was done being nice.

"My son isn't a bastard, he's adopted." Elizabeth could see that she had surprised her new in laws. "And very much wanted. But if you want to go there, didn't you have to blackmail both your babies fathers into marrying you, after you were already pregnant only to have them leave you for other women? Wanna talk about that?"

"Don't get comfortable." Tracy played her ace. "You are wife number three and the other two aren't breathing anymore. Wonder how long you will last?"

"The number three is a powerful number so I'm feeling optimistic. Of course it wasn't lucky for you was it? Nope. Tracy Quartermaine Ashton Williams Hornsby Solieto. And like Jason they are all no longer breathing." She looked at her hubby. "Maybe I should worry after all." She said giving him a wink.

Damn, she was hot when she got all feisty, was all Jason could think. Georgie was coming over for dinner tomorrow night. If it went well he was going to see if his wife would go to dinner with him next week. He needed to kick this dance they were doing into high gear. He wasn't expecting sex after their date, but this would get them closer to it.

"Nothing else to say?" Elizabeth asked Tracy. "In that case, I'll go check on the boys. If everyone would excuse me." Elizabeth gracefully rose from the table and left the room.

"I want you packed and out of my house by tomorrow night." Monica said also rising.

"You can't throw me out." Tracy shouted.

"I own this house so I damn well can. You own the hotel stay there." Monica said before leaving to check on Elizabeth. Her new daughter had handed Tracy her ass. It was wonderful to see.

"Are you going to let her treat me this way?" Tracy asked Alan.

"Yes." He said grinning. "Maybe you should have been nicer."

"Fine." Tracy huffed and stalked from the room.

Jason followed his aunt out. "Tracy." He said stopping the older woman in her tracks.

"What?" Tracy snapped out. There was no way she was leaving the mansion.

Jason walked over until toes of his shoes touched hers. "Come after my wife again, and I will destroy you." He said calmly.

"You don't hurt women." Tracy said rolling her eyes.

"I won't put a mark on you." Jason gave her a cold smile which widened when she shivered. "I will make you nothing." They both knew he could do it. "If we are here don't be." Jason ended their conversation turning to go find his wife and son.

Monica stood by Elizabeth as they watched the boys play. "This room is, um." Elizabeth turned to her mother in law.

"Alan likes toy stores." Monica said grinning. The room was over the top and excessive. Which meant it screamed Quartermaine. "We hope Cameron will visit often."

"I think he will like that." Elizabeth smiled at how he and Ben were building houses for the massive train layout.

"That was very impressive. The way you handled Tracy." Monica had to say it.

"Emily gave me a cheat sheet. She said Tracy didn't play well with others and the only way to earn her respect was beat her at her own game. If Em was right then Tracy and I will be fine from here on out." Elizabeth explained. "I don't particularly like being nasty." She had landed some low blows.

"And if you aren't?" Monica was liking Liz as Jason's wife more by the minute.

"I'm not above a good old fashioned fist fight." Elizabeth said laughing.

"Make sure I'm around." Jason said joining them.

"Off course. I need someone to give me water between rounds." She grinned. "How long should we let them play?"

"There's no rush. I still need to talk to my Grandmother about something." Jason would let the boys stay all day if they wanted. "Will Cameron be okay if we take a walk in the garden?" He wanted to show her the roses.

"Let's find out." Elizabeth said walking over to talk with her son. She came back a few minutes later. "He wants to know if Maimeo can stay for a bit."

"I'd love too." Monica said going to join her grandsons.

"Take a walk with me?" Jason requested.

"I'd love to." Elizabeth said accepting.

Maimeo is pronounced Mam O

Daideo is pronounced Dad O

Thanks for the reviews!
