Chapter 56

Since they were on vacation Jason didn't get up early so at seven when Cameron came running into the bedroom Jason was still wrapped around Elizabeth. Since both parents were dressed they didn't bother to lock the door. Because of the monitor he knew his son had left his room. "Hey buddy." He said rolling to his back. The sudden lack of warmth made Elizabeth wake up.

"Hi daddy." Cameron scrambled up onto the trunk at the bottom of the bed and crawled across his parents. A knee to her lower back made Elizabeth grunt, but the little boy didn't notice. He only stopped when he was between his parents.

"Ready for breakfast?" Jason said grinning.

"Uh-huh, what are we doing today?" Cameron was really enjoying this trip. Daddy had made it so much fun. Every day they had done something different. The zoo had been fun, they had pandas something none of them had seen in person before. Daddy even bought him a panda t-shirt. The aquarium was really cool they had a pool where you could touch an actual shark. Daddy had even found a nice park with a big slide. Last night they went downstairs and used the pool for a while. Cameron couldn't wait to see what was happening today.

"Cameron, do you know what today is?" Elizabeth smiled at her son. She was most of the way awake. A hot shower and coffee would clear out the rest of the cobwebs.

"No." He told his mom.

Elizabeth expected this to happen. Without access to a calendar Cameron had lost track of the days. If he was in daycare he would start the day by writing the day of the week and the date. "Today is a really special day."

"Is it my birthday?" Cameron asked looking between his parents. In May there were two important dates, his birthday and Mother's day. Mrs. Maguire showed him on the calendar that his birthday came first.

"It is." Jason said smiling. "We have something really special planned go get dressed so we can get started."

"Okay." Cameron crawled back off of the bed and ran out of the room.

"We should get moving." Elizabeth said throwing back the covers. "He's going to be dressed in about a minute." Before she could slide off the bed Jason pulled her back.

"You aren't going anywhere until I get my morning kiss." Jason said giving her a sinful smile.

"You already got a morning kiss." Elizabeth said smiling. She had woken him early with her mouth on his body. Kissing down his chest lead to her loving him with her mouth, which lead to her moaning his name as he took control.

"I want another one." Jason wasn't going to be put off.

"Fine." Elizabeth pretended to be irritated but puckered up.

"Morning baby." Jason said when after his lips brushed across hers.

She couldn't help but sigh. "Morning. Let me get dressed and I'll see what the guys want." They had gotten into the routine of having all their meals together. Breakfast was in their suite. The guards wrote what they wanted on the pad next to the phone in the living room.

Jason let her go as Cameron came back into the bedroom. Elizabeth grabbed her clothes and went into the bathroom. "What are we going to do today?" Cameron asked again. He was hoping that maybe they could go see some trains. Maybe Toronto had a train museum like back home.

"It's a surprise." Jason told his son. "If I tell you mommy will get mad at me."

"Oh." Cameron really wanted to know, but he didn't want to get daddy in trouble. "Is everyone coming over to breakfast?"

"Yes, do you like eating with the guys?" Jason knew that Cameron was becoming more comfortable around the guards.

"Yup. I like Lee, he's funny." Cameron said giggling. He hadn't talked to the guard yet, but he was thinking about it. "Daddy, are you gonna shave today?"

"When mommy is done in the bathroom, I'm going to take my turn. You want to come watch?" Jason asked smiling.

Cameron nodded. "Is it itchy? Your beard?"

"If I don't shave for a few days it gets itchy." Jason answered. "Do you want to feel?"

"Okay." Cameron ran his small hand over his father's face. He laughed at how the stubble felt on his palm. "It tickles."

"Mommy says the same thing." Jason liked these moments when he could sit with his son and just hang out. Maybe he should start sleeping later. When the bathroom door opened they both turned.

"Hi mommy! I'm wearing Charlie." Cameron stood up on the bed so she could see.

"I see, want to help me order breakfast?" She said holding out her hand.

"Okay, don't forget daddy." Cameron said as they walked to the door.

"I won't. I'll call you when it's time." Jason could see Liz was curious but he didn't say anything, just got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.


After breakfast they got in the cars and started driving. For this trip they only took two cars. Milo rode with the Morgans and the other guards piled into a second SUV. Once again Lee was in the lead because for this trip they were leaving Toronto and heading two hours south-west to St. Thomas, where the Elgin County Railway Museum was located. Cameron kept up a running commentary about everything they passed. But when they pulled up to their destination and he saw the train yard the little boy fell silent.

Elizabeth helped her son out of his car seat and sat him on the hood of the car while the guys stood around them. All the Charlie festivities were taking place on the railway behind the museum so Cameron had no idea that his favorite train was so close. "Now, the same rules as before apply today. You need to listen when we tell you something, and you need to make sure you stay with either me or daddy at all times. Now daddy is going to tell you what we are going to do today. All right?"

"All right." Cameron told his mother softly while nodding.

"If you don't behave we will leave." Elizabeth warned him. Just because it was his birthday didn't mean he wasn't expected to behave.

"Okay." Cameron promised looking at his dad. He really wanted to go inside and see the trains.

"Ready?" Jason couldn't wait to see Cameron's face when he saw Charlie. When the little guy nodded Jason picked him up. "Okay, close your eyes." He instructed. They walked to the area where Charlie was sitting on the track. The event was due to open in thirty minutes but they had VIP passes that gave them early entrance. Jason waited until Liz was in position with her camera. "Open your eyes buddy." He said softly.

Cameron opened his eyes and his mouth fell open in shock. "IT'S CHARLIE!" He yelled. "MOMMY IT'S CHARLIE!" He couldn't believe it. Right there close enough to touch was Chuggin Charlie.

The joy on her son's face did Elizabeth in. The tears started and she had to hand the camera over to Kyle. Taking a second she stood behind the guard and wiped her face. Milo walked over and gave her his handkerchief, and she gave him a watery thank you. When she felt better she moved closer to where her boys were standing. "Want to get closer?" She asked Cameron.

"Can we?" Cameron's eyes got wide at the thought of getting closer to the train.

"We can go over, and you can touch him if you want." Elizabeth said smiling.

"Later today, we are going to ride on the train that Charlie is pulling." Jason told Cameron. He thought his son was going to pass out from joy.

"Really?" Cameron said in a whisper so excited that his dad had made it so he could see Chuggin Charlie. This was the best day of his life.

"Really." Jason said smiling. He felt like a hero. "Right now let's go see Charlie and let mommy take some pictures."


They had the best time. Elizabeth took about a million pictures, most of which included Cameron and Jason. Occasionally she even managed to get in a few of them. They went out on the first train ride of the morning and Cameron smiled the entire time. The hardest part of the day for her was keeping Jason from buying every single thing they came across. There were several tents of merchandise set up and Jason was determined that his son was going to have every single Charlie item they came across. Especially when he discovered the rare items section of the toy tent. Elizabeth didn't even want to know how much money he spent.

The event wrapped up at five and because of the long drive home, they opted to eat dinner in St. Thomas. Lee had scouted here as well and came up with another kid friendly restaurant. Dessert was a birthday cake for Cameron and the entire restaurant sang the little boy happy birthday. By six-thirty they were back on the road. When they pulled up in front of the hotel Elizabeth's prediction that Cameron would be asleep was proven true.

Jason carried him up. He'd have a bath in the morning, but Elizabeth did make sure Cameron took a trip to the bathroom. In his pajamas the little boy's eyes closed again as soon as his head hit the pillow. Both parents gave him a kiss before turning off the light and closing the door.

"I think it's safe to say that Cameron had a good birthday." Jason's face was actually sore from how much smiling he'd done.

"I don't think I'll ever be able to thank you enough for today." Elizabeth told Jason still leaning against Cameron's door. "I've never seen him that happy."

"It was pretty special for me too." Jason assured her. "I've done a lot of things with Ben, and I've enjoyed watching my nephew grow up. But watching Cameron today and knowing he was my son and that we were able to give him this day was the most amazing feeling I've ever had. I don't know if that made any sense because I don't think I have the words to make you feel what I did."

There was nothing she could say to that, so she didn't even try. Elizabeth pushed off the door and wrapped her arms around her husband. He loved Cameron, it was in everything Jason said and did for the little boy. While being able to see Charlie was amazing, how Jason had opened his heart to Cameron was the greatest gift there was.

Jason stood there holding his wife in his arms. "I'd like to take you out tomorrow night."

"Me?" Elizabeth raised her head and smiled at her hubby. "I'm fine."

"Yes, you are." He said kissing her nose. "I made reservations. Milo said he would watch Cameron for us."

"This is Cameron's trip, Jason I don't need you to do anything special for me." She protested.

"I need to do something special for you." Jason wanted a night where they weren't mom and dad but were Jason and Elizabeth. "I want us to travel a lot, and I intend to give you romance in every city we go to. If we are traveling with Cameron then romance will probably be one date night a week. This summer we are going away in July." Johnny had talked to him too. "I'm going to see if Georgie is willing to come with us, so we'll be able to sneak away more often. Tomorrow let me show a small part of Toronto."

"I didn't pack anything nice." Elizabeth hadn't expected that.

"There is a boutique downstairs. You can go there tomorrow before you go to the spa." He said giving her the smile that made him look like a mischievous little boy.

"The spa?" Elizabeth said smiling back. "I guess Mother's day is coming early."

"Nope, that is still this Sunday." Jason had plans for that too. "Tomorrow is some fun time for you. While you are at the spa, we guys will be having a man day."

"Is that right, what does that include?" She let Jason lead her to the kitchen.

"Man stuff." Was all he said. They would have tea tonight, because they had a lot of junk food today. "That's all you need to know about that. You just have to go to the spa and relax."

"I'll let them make me pretty for you." She said getting down the mugs.

"You are already more pretty than I can handle." Jason said flirting.

Her heart started beating faster and she couldn't help but blush. "You are just all kinds of smooth aren't you?" She said trying to keep up with him.

"I haven't even started yet." Jason assured her. "You wait until tomorrow night." He was going all out. He planned on sweeping Liz off her feet.


Thanks for the reviews!
