Chapter 57

The next morning Jason and Elizabeth were in the living room when Cameron joined them. "Did you have fun yesterday?" Jason asked his son.

"I did! It was the best ever!" Cameron still couldn't believe that he got to see Charlie in person. He couldn't wait to tell Ben.

"Last night you feel asleep." Elizabeth joined them on the couch. "Which meant that you didn't get to open any of your presents." She honestly thought he forgot.

"I get presents?!" Cameron liked the sound of that.

"Remember the ones you didn't open from the party. Come on let's see what you got." Elizabeth held out her hand which Cameron took while not letting go of his dad. They walked down to the master bedroom where a small pile of gifts waited. She sat on one side of the pile and Jason sat on the other with Cameron on his lap.

"Which one first?" Jason asked the little boy.

"This one." Cameron pulled the biggest one from the pile.

"Let's see." Jason looked at the gift tag. "Do you know what that says?"

"No." Cameron shook his head. He had just learned to read and write the word Daddy. Mommy said by the end of the summer if he worked hard he could read the names of most of the people in the family. Ben was working on that too.

"This is from Daideo." Jason said already knowing what the gift was. The family wasn't required to clear their gifts with him. He only knew because Ben was getting the exact same thing next month. Alan had been excited to buy them. Cameron's was even left handed to make it easier to use. "Open it."

"Okay." Cameron ripped the paper and looked at the present. "Fishing rod! Are we going fishing?"

"We are, Daideo is taking you and Ben fishing this summer. I thought you and I could go fishing today." Alan took him and Johnny fishing every year. Jason had packed his gear for this trip.

"Cool!" Cameron said grinning.

"Man stuff?" Elizabeth said taking pictures to send to the family.

"Exactly. Girls and worms don't mix." He said knowing he would pay for that sexiest remark later.

She just rolled her eyes. "Open this one next." This was a small square box. "It's from Maimeo."

"Okay." Cameron tore off the paper and frowned. "A lunch box?" He wondered but it was weird because it wasn't shaped the right way.

"No, this is a tackle box." Jason corrected. He opened it and pulled out the staggered shelves inside. It was filled with everything the young fisherman would need. "This goes with the rod. These." Jason pointed to an assortment of lures in the bottom. "Are from Poppa."

"Does he fish too?" Cameron asked looking at Jason.

"No." Jason said laughing a bit. "Poppa isn't a big nature fan." Roughing it for Edward was skim milk in his coffee.

"This one is from Nana." Elizabeth handed over a gift bag.

"A hat!" Cameron loved hats. This one was a Boonie hat in bright blue.

"It will keep the sun off your face." Jason explained. "Look inside the bag, there is something else."

"Sunglasses." Cameron slipped them on. The wraparound style would protect him from the glare off the water.

There was another box on the bed. "That's from Uncle AJ." Elizabeth explained.

"I liked him." Cameron remembered him from the dinner. "Boots."

"So you can keep your feet from getting wet. Sometime when you go fishing you don't use a boat but walk out into the water." The boots were tall, when Cameron got a bit bigger they could get him some waders.

"Okay this is from Aunt Em and Uncle Johnny." Elizabeth handed over an envelope.

Cameron opened it and pulled out a card. Opening it music started playing which made him laugh. "What's it say daddy?"

"To the best nephew in the whole world." Jason grinned. He had no clue what they had gotten Cameron. "There's a picture." On the back was a note and Jason started laughing before he read it. Johnny had picked this out, and Liz was going to kill him.

"What?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"They got you a remote control car. When we get home we'll put it together." Jason showed Cameron the picture.

"Why is that funny?" She leaned over and looked at the picture. "It's a Jeep." She said still not getting it.

Jason only got it because Ben had something similar. Johnny got it for his son for Christmas. Emily had been less than pleased. "There is one more gift." Jason would tell Liz in a minute.

"Okay." Cameron put it on his lap. This tag he could read by himself. "This is from you and mommy." He said looking at his parents.

"Yup." Elizabeth said waiting for Cameron to open it. She hadn't actually seen it because it was wrapped when Jason brought it home.

Cameron opened it and smiled. "It's a tablet! We have these at daycare." The older kids, of which he was one, used them during lesson time. "We practice our letters." It meant the center could buy less paper because the kids could just erase their letters before going onto the next lesson.

Elizabeth scooted over to see what apps were on it. "You can make letters, this one will help you start learning some math." She would check that one out. While she wanted Cameron to keep up with his peers, she still wanted him to enjoy being a kid. Pressure to perform would come soon enough.

"It's basically a game that teaches him to add and subtract." Jason knew what her concern was.

"I can do art, look." Cameron tapped on the icon and a blank screen with a palette of colors bordering a white square popped up. They could save the little boys creations or print them out if they wanted.

Elizabeth closed that one. "Look its George." The monkey was smiling at them.

Cameron tapped it and then tapped a story. The tablet began to read the book highlighting each word as it was pronounced. "I can listen to stories."

"Wow." Elizabeth looked over at Jason. "You thought of everything."

"It even has a language program. There are five languages and you can pick the one you want him to study." Jason would show her that later. "Did you like your gifts?" He asked Cameron who was getting lost in a story.

"I did." Cameron told them.

"Good, we can do thank you notes when we get home." Elizabeth said grabbing some paper.

Cameron put down his tablet and grabbed some too. It was clean up time. Daddy grabbed the rest and they headed back to the front of the suite.

"The guys will be here soon. We are leaving after breakfast. Chris is going to stay here at the hotel in case you need him." The guard was not a fishing fan. "He will sit in the lobby of the spa."

"That's fine." Elizabeth was looking forward to her day of pampering. It didn't start until eleven so she would visit the boutique first. Cameron ran back and got his tablet, which had a bright red cover to protect it, and sat on the couch to finish his story. "Before breakfast arrives tell me what is so funny about the car Cameron got."

"Johnny picked it out, probably one day while Emily was working." Jason started. "It's a limited edition model."

"Meaning?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"It cost a little less than the tablet." Jason said watching her mouth drop open.

"For a toy car?" That her son would drive into walls. "That's insane."

"Yeah Em, said the same thing when Ben opened his at Christmas." Ben's was a sports car and cost more than the tablet. She had reminded her husband that Alan was bad enough.

"I'm really happy that everyone is treating Cameron like Ben." She started.

"But you don't want him getting spoiled. Emily says the same thing." Jason said shrugging. "Good luck." He grinned. It was not a fight he was getting involved with. The playroom at the mansion pretty much announced that no one was listening. He was going to work more on making sure his son understood that not everyone got these things. He also was going to work on instilling in his son the need to give back to the community, to those who didn't have what they did. He was thinking that they could work some shifts at the food bank when it was open.

"Kiss mommy." Jason said to Cameron. He did the same. "We will be back by the time you are done your girl stuff." He smiled at her. "I'll see that Cam has a nap so that he has plenty of energy to torture Milo."

Elizabeth just laughed. "I ordered dinner for him. So he'll eat and have a bath before we leave." There was only so much she was going to ask the guard to do.

"I'll let him know." Jason said kissing her again. He knew Milo was looking forward to the coming night. "See you later." He got one more kiss before heading out to the cars.

"Tell me about your fishing trip." Elizabeth was sitting at the dining room table with Cameron. He'd just gotten up from his nap. It was good that the little guy had gotten up when he did because she could tell that her husband was just about at the end of his restraint.

Who knew that one small change could make a man weak in the knees? Downstairs in the spa she'd had her hair pulled straight for her dinner date with Jason. It was not something she normally did at home because it was time consuming. Plus it could be damaging to her hair if she didn't do it correctly. When she got home, she'd need to get the name of good stylist who could help her with that because Jason loved it.

He'd come out from their bedroom where he was napping and immediately plunged his hands in the silky strands. Elizabeth wasn't concerned he'd mess it up, the style would hold until she next washed her hair. Even now the heat from his gaze was scorching her. If he liked this then the rest of the outfit might kill him, because the look she was going for tonight was flat out sexy. She'd spent more than she intended but the final look was going to be so worth it.

"I caught two fish!" Cameron said feeling proud of himself.

"You did? Did you have to let them go again?" Elizabeth figured if they had brought them back then he would have shown them to her when he got up.

"They are downstairs." Cameron told his mom. "We are going to eat them tomorrow."

Elizabeth looked over at Jason who gave her a slow smile. He had no idea why the straight hair was having such an effect, but he really liked it. "The executive chef agreed to cook our catch. So we are having dinner at six tomorrow night." Because he was being extended this courtesy Jason didn't want to ask the chef to cook something not on the menu during the busiest time of the night.

"Did you catch a fish too?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"I did, I also caught two. Kyle showed us all up. He caught eight." Jason told her. "We are having a fish fry."

Elizabeth blinked in surprise. "Eight that is impressive."

"Kyle likes to fish." It was something Jason hadn't known. He was learning all kinds of things about his crew now that Cameron and Elizabeth were in his life.

"He said he would give me some pointers sometime." Cameron told his mom.

Elizabeth looked over at Jason who shook his head. Cameron hadn't spoken to Kyle yet.

"That was nice of him. Maybe he'll show you over the summer." Elizabeth would have to thank Kyle for the offer.

"Mommy? Why is your hair different?" Cameron wanted to know. "Where did your curls go? I like the curls." It made her hair look like his. He liked that they matched.

"Daddy is taking me out to dinner, so I wanted to look pretty for him. Sometimes I like to try new things and see if maybe daddy will like it." Elizabeth explained.

"Do you like it?" Cameron asked Jason.

"I do." He said smiling. "But I like the curls too. I like mommy all the ways she is." He wanted Cameron to know that.

"Me too." He said nodding. "But I like the curls the best. Will they come back?"

"In a few days." Elizabeth explained. "Ready for your bath?" They were doing things a bit out of order. After bath he would put on his jammies then eat. "Daddy would you mind taking care of that?" The humidity from the tub would curl her hair.

"Not a problem." Jason said throwing Cameron over his shoulder. He should have planned better. Next time he'd give his son his bath before nap time, that way he could sit and watch his gorgeous wife longer. Of course he was going to have her all to himself for the rest of the night and he would make the most of that time.

Thanks for the reviews!
