Chapter 31

At seven sharp the guard knocked and announced Georgie Corelli. Cameron was hiding behind his mommy's legs and peeking out. The knocks still made him nervous, but that wasn't why he was hiding. Daddy was here so he didn't need to be scared. No right now he was feeling shy. What if Georgie didn't like him?

"Hi." Georgie said coming in. Before coming over she talked with Diane. Her soon to be aunt couldn't divulge any confidential information, but she did help Georgie form an image of the child she was going to meet. The word sweet was the first one out of the older woman's mouth. The next was lovable.

"Hey Georgie." Jason came over and took the light weight jacket the younger woman was wearing. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"I'm good thanks." Georgie could see Cameron and when she turned to face him his gasp of surprise filled the room. Normally she walked over and introduced herself to the child she would be hanging out with, but tonight she waited for Liz to do that.

"Georgie." Elizabeth said grinning. The younger woman had made a very good first impression. "This is Cameron."

"Hi." Georgie said squatting down so they were eye to eye. "It's nice to meet you."

Cameron pointed at her shirt.

"Do you like Chuggin Charlie too?" The bright blue train was smiling from the fabric.

Cameron nodded.

"Do you like other trains too? I went to museum where they had all these really big steam engines all lined up in a row." Spinelli had wanted to go so they had spent the afternoon at the same museum Cameron recently visited.

Cameron pointed to himself but he was still behind his mom's legs.

Georgie just smiled. He was really cute. "I like soccer too. Do you play soccer?"

Cameron shook his head. He knew that Ben played.

"I play on a team at my school, sometimes I practice with Milo because he's a really good soccer player. Ben hangs out with us too. Maybe sometime you might like to come." Georgie offered.

Cameron nodded slower this time.

Georgie got that he was saying maybe. "We can talk about that later. It's not time for soccer season just yet." She figured if Cameron played it would be in the fall with Ben.

"Cameron would you maybe like to come out and sit down with Georgie?" Elizabeth said trying to coax him out.

"I thought if you wanted to maybe we could color?" Georgie reached in her bag and pulled out a thick book with removable pages. "You can pick whatever you like and maybe your mom or Jason could put it on the refrigerator."

"Daddy." Cameron said pointing to Jason.

"Oh I'm sorry. Your dad." Georgie tried to never talk down to the kids. "Would you like to color?" She held the book out, but deliberately kept it far enough away that he would have to move out from behind his mom to come get it.

Jason and Elizabeth both kept quiet during this part. It was important that Cameron decide whether or not to trust Georgie on his own. Once his mind was made up they would need to respect his choice.

Cameron loved to color and he really wanted to know what kind of pictures Georgie had in the book. Maybe she had some animals. He liked coloring animals and flowers because mommy liked pictures of flowers. At their apartment mommy put his pictures on the refrigerator. They could do that here. Daddy probably wouldn't mind because he had a picture in his office. Maybe he'd want to put this in his office too. Thinking about two of his pictures in daddy's office got the little boy moving. He came forward and took the book.

Georgie gave Elizabeth a small smile. "Any picture you want. I brought colored pencils." She pulled one out and handed it over. "Sniff."

Cameron did and giggled.

"What?" Elizabeth wanted to know. Her son held the pencil up and she sniffed it. "Oh my goodness." She said laughing handing it back.

Cameron ran over to Jason and held the pencil up. He took it and when Cameron pointed to his nose Jason sniffed it. "It smells like bubblegum." He said surprised.

"Each pencil has a different smell." Georgie said shaking the box.

Cameron came over and pointed to a picture of a horse.

"That's a nice one. Would you like to sit at the coffee table?"

Cameron nodded and they got settled.

"Buddy I'm going to take mommy and show her the construction. We'll be right down the hall, okay?" Jason asked not wanting to upset his son.

Cameron nodded already engrossed by the pencils.

"We'll be right through there." Jason pointed to the doorway.

"Okay." Georgie nodded. "I'll come get you if he gets upset."

"Thanks Georgie." Elizabeth was impressed. The young woman had put some effort into getting Cameron to engage with her.

Jason took his wife's hand in his and led her out of the living room. They went down the hall and through the new doorway. He already knew they should keep this first visit short. Cameron would only tolerate having them gone for so long. Next week when Georgie came back they would try for the night out. "What do you think?"

"It's wonderful." The space was huge and despite having large pieces of furniture in it didn't feel the least bit crowded. The couches were black leather and the giant C configuration would seat twelve easily. The main room was dominated by the biggest television she'd ever seen.

The pool table was present and had been joined by a ping pong table and an air hockey table. The area where the kitchen once was had been turned into Cameron's corner. With a big sign telling everyone that. More trains and blocks were in shelved bins. There was a table that could seat six kids ready for art activities and an area with cushions that had books and a smaller flat screen for cartoons while the dads watched sports. "You guys will have fun here."

"It's your area too." Jason said pulling her closer. He rested his chin on her shoulder. "Feel free to have the ladies over."

"You don't have a bar." Elizabeth noted. "Won't you guys want beer during the games?"

"Look behind you." Jason said grinning. In what had been the hall closet was a built in refrigerator with a frosted glass door. "Up on the higher shelves are beer and soda." He didn't know how Elizabeth felt about the sugary drink. Emily didn't allow Ben to have it. "Iced tea is next and then water followed by juice and water."

"You've even got a crisper." Elizabeth noted the apples.

"Ben won't eat fruit unless it's cold." Jason told her. "I was hoping to have Johnny and Ben over this weekend. You and Emily will be at work."

"I think Cameron will like that." She walked back to where Jason was standing and put her arms around his neck. "Thank you." She stretched up and kissed him.

With a deep hum Jason urged her open to for him and when she did he kissed her harder. His tongue danced with hers as they both tested the limits of their restraint. Unable to resist Jason backed Elizabeth up against the closest wall and pressed against her. She moaned in delight and pushed against his lower back in a silent plea to come closer. Spearing his fingers in her hair he did and pushed his hips against hers. Slowing them down he finally pulled his mouth away. It was that or pass out.

"We are going to burn the building down when we finally get to bed." Elizabeth spoke up.

Jason was surprised that she was so bold. He liked that she said when and not if. "There is no rush." The slow build up was torturous, but he didn't want to push her.

"Actually there is." Elizabeth said trying not to blush. "It's been a long time for me."

Jason looked at his wife. "How long?"

"Three and half years." Elizabeth told him and watched his eyes widen. "For the last six months I haven't even had any indication I was a sexually functioning woman. So you may want to start taking vitamins." She said laughing. All kinds of urges were making themselves known.

"I already do." He said nuzzling against her neck. That was a long time to go without sex. "But maybe I should start eating breakfast too."

"Hmm." His lips on her neck was making her tremble. "That feels good."

"You feel good." He growled. Jerking his head up he took a deep breath and moved so that Elizabeth was standing in front of him.

"What?" She asked just as Cameron ran into the room. She really was far gone if she hadn't heard their son heading their way. Of course with the deliciousness that was Jason distracting her it was understandable. "You finished coloring."

"That's really good buddy." Jason said as Georgie walked in the room. With his erection gone Jason walked over to where his son was. "Can I have it for my office?"

Cameron nodded.

"Wait a minute." Elizabeth protested. "You can't have all the pictures. I need some for the house."

"I think you will need to color something else for mommy to hang up. Plus I think Maimeo and Daideo would like some pictures too." Jason said making a list.

"Don't forget Nana and Poppa." Elizabeth added on.

"You'll be coloring for a while." Jason grinned and thought about what he and his wife could do with all that free time. Taking a calming breath he reminded himself that now was not the time to get a hard on.

"Does that sound like fun?" Elizabeth was also tallying up the free time. They would need to get a hotel room.

Cameron nodded and pointed to Georgie.

"I think we can work something out." Elizabeth smiled. Just like that Cameron had his first babysitter.

After Georgie left it was bath time. Jason requested that it once again take place in his bathroom, something Cameron totally agreed with. After the bath was finished and Cameron in his pajamas Jason told him to go pick out a book.

"I'm going to be working at night next week. Would you like for me to take Cameron in with me?" Elizabeth asked as she rinsed out the tub.

"I'd like for him to stay home with me. He may not be ready for that, a whole week of the two of us, so we'll play it by ear. I'll need to let Milo and Kyle know you are switching shifts." Jason was putting away the toys. "If he wants to stay here and then he gets upset can I bring him to daycare?"

"Yes." Elizabeth was finished. "I usually check in on him when I get my breaks so if he goes with me then wants to come home, can I call you?" She didn't want to assume.

"Yeah, I won't go to sleep until you get in anyway." Jason told her. "You can use the tub too." He'd love to know she was in his tub.

"Thanks. I will keep that in mind." There were shifts where a soak after would be marvelous. "There is a little boy waiting for his dad to read him a story." She loved how Jason just lit up at that. "Then after I think someone has earned some hot chocolate."

Jason was grinning wide when he walked out of the bathroom. "Hey." He said sticking his head back in.

"Yes?" Elizabeth hung up the towel and walked over to Jason.

He pointed at his bed where a Cameron sized lump was under the pillows. He might have gotten away with it if his feet weren't sticking up under the blankets. She had to cover her mouth and go back into the bathroom to hide her laughter. When she was feeling in control she joined an amused Jason. "You should go read Cameron his story before he falls asleep." She looked up at her husband smiling.

"Yeah, it's getting late." Jason said playing along. He waited a few minutes then spoke again. "I can't find Cameron."

From under the fluffy mound came a giggle.

Both adults barely managed to hold in the laughter. "I wonder where he could be." Elizabeth went next.

"Here I am!" Cameron sat up sending the pillows flying and smiling wide.

"I never would have guessed that you were under there." Jason said shaking his head. "Good one."

The little boy was so happy with himself. He had fooled mommy and daddy.

"Do you have a book?" Elizabeth asked coming over and sitting next to her son. Jason could read here and she would just carry Cameron into his room.

"No." Cameron saw a book on the nightstand and pointed to it.

"You want to hear about Africa?" Jason liked to read travel guides. He had been thinking about going to the continent on vacation. That would need to wait until Cameron's immune system was stronger. Maybe they could go to Hawaii this year or Canada?

"Okay." Cameron just wanted to hear Jason read.

"Hold on a second." Jason put a pillow under Cameron and handed one to Elizabeth. "Everybody get under the blankets."

"Under the blankets mommy." Cameron was getting tired. When his mom stretched out, after kicking off her shoes, he snuggled up. He wondered if daddy liked to snuggle. He should try it because mommy was always warm.

"Ready?" Jason asked his family.

"Yup." Elizabeth said feeling really relaxed.

Neither one of them made it past the first chapter. When Jason closed the book and looked over he felt what could only be described as contentment. His wife and son were safe and sleeping in his bed. He should carry them down the hall but just for tonight he wanted them with him. Turning down the lights he walked from his room closing the door. Johnny was going to call soon and after that Jason was going to go back upstairs and watch over his family.

The scented pencils are real. They are called Smencils. My son has an entire set.

Thanks for the reviews, the follows, and the favorites!
