Chapter 64

"Oh my god." Elizabeth moaned.

Jason leaned over his wife and tried to keep from laughing. "Do you need to go to the bathroom?" He asked softly.

"Shoot me, please." Elizabeth begged from under the pillow on top of her head. It felt like there was an elephant tap dancing in her skull. "How much did I drink?" The night was a blur after the first hour.

"Chris told me you guys drank four bottles. My guys are very impressed." Jason said giving in and laughing. Which unfortunately shook the bed.

"I'm gonna be sick." Elizabeth moaned.

Jason was out of bed and carrying her into the bathroom in a flash. He held her hair back while she emptied her stomach. "Just leave me here to die." She begged holding onto the toilet. The room was spinning.

Jason was still laughing. "Hold on a second." He got her a glass of water to rinse her mouth. "Are you going to be sick again?" He asked wiping her face with a wet cloth.

"No." She said before turning her head back into the toilet and throwing up again. "What was I thinking?" She said slumping back against Jason's chest.

"You wanted to have fun with your friends." Jason reminded her. He wondered if he should bring up Milo dancing for them and decided to wait until Em arrived. "Ready for a shower?"

"Okay." Elizabeth stayed on the floor while Jason set things up.

He had been injured a time or two so he had a chair for the shower. He put that inside the glass enclosure so that she didn't have to stand and possibly fall. He put the body wash where she could reach it and stripped her to her skin. This was the second time in under twelve hours he gotten her naked and did nothing about it. Although the view was nice. "I'm going to go get coffee started. Don't get up until I come back."

"Okay." Elizabeth said letting the hot water flow over her.

Jason was back quickly and was happy to see her still sitting. "All done?"

"Yes. I'm thirsty." Her mouth was like a desert.

"I have some water for you." Jason said helping her out of the shower and drying her off. She drank the room temperature liquid while he helped her dress. "Ready to go downstairs?"

"I can't. Cameron can't see me like this. I'm a mother, what was I thinking?" Elizabeth was on the verge of tears.

"It's okay. Cameron is with Johnny and Ben at Kelly's. Emily is downstairs on the couch." Johnny had knocked while Jason was making coffee. Cameron had been playing in his room because he'd been asked to. Jason swapped one excited kid for one hung over sister. "Let's go." Jason picked her up and she grabbed her head as the room spun again. "Okay?" He asked before moving, getting vomited on was not how he wanted to start the day.

"Okay." Elizabeth said as her stomach settled. Downstairs he sat her in the kitchen at the table where her sunglasses were waiting. He brought Em in and sat her down too.

"I'm never going drinking with you again." The doctor said holding her head. "Johnny said I passed out. Did you?"

"No." Elizabeth sipped her peppermint tea and hoped the hot drink helped to settle her stomach. "But I don't remember much." Her hands were shaking and she was careful not to slosh the hot liquid. "I don't think we'll be doing this again anytime soon."

"Ever." Emily countered. "We won't be doing this again ever. We can, and should, go out again but without the Tequila."

"Sounds like a plan." Elizabeth said as Jason put food in front of them both.

"I can't eat that." Emily said pushing the plate away.

"Trust me Em, this will help." Jason said pushing the scrambled eggs and toast back in front of his sister. He also put a glass of coconut water in front of each woman. It would help restore electrolytes, he'd see that they each drank at least two glasses over the course of the morning. "After breakfast Johnny is taking the boys to the mansion to play."

"Thanks." Elizabeth said scooping up some eggs. "What did you guys do last night?"

"We took the boys to a strip club, it's never too early to start." Jason said laughing as he drank his coffee.

"Did you teach them to tip well?" Emily asked as a comeback. "Lousy tippers suck." She laughed at her own joke before grabbing her head. "How long does this last anyway?" She had no idea how AJ could have done this to himself on a regular basis.

"After breakfast you two will go lie down and nap. When you get back up you'll feel a lot better." Jason told his sister. "You won't feel fully human again until tomorrow."

"Do you know how everyone else is doing?" Emily looked at Jason.

"No clue. Let's call dad." Jason pulled out his phone and called Alan. "Hey dad."

"Jason, how are you? More importantly how are Emily and Elizabeth, because your mother and aunt are wrecked." The older man said laughing.

"The same." Jason grinned. "Are the boys there yet?"

"Just arrived." Alan was watching them play. "Cameron held my hand as we walked to the playroom." The joy from that small action was clear in Alan's voice.

"That's great. Let me know when they are ready to come home." Jason told his father.

"I was hoping they might stay and have a nap here, you could bring the other members of the walking wounded to the house for dinner." Alan suggested.

"You just want them to yell around mom and Tracy." Jason knew how his father thought.

"Only a little." Alan said totally unrepentant.

"I think we can work something out." Jason told his dad. "We'll be over around two." There was something he wanted to do and the mansion would be a good place for it.

"See you then." Alan said hanging up to focus on his grandsons.

"You two finish up and call me when you're done." As slow as they were eating it would be a while. "I'll be in the living room." Walking out of the kitchen he placed a call and requested that something be brought up to the penthouse.

Jason worked on his project and when the ladies came out of the kitchen he was just coming back from the garage. He'd placed a call to Johnny to get something and told him about the dinner arrangement. Johnny had no intention of missing the sight of all four of the women hung over.

The ladies sat on the couch and Jason kept them supplied with apple juice, as well as one more glass of the coconut water. He didn't try to feed them lunch but did bring out crackers for them to snack on. About one they both napped while he did some paperwork. "How are you guys feeling?" Jason thought they looked better.

"Pretty good." Elizabeth smiled up at her hubby. "You took good care of us."

"That's my job. To take care of you." Jason said leaning over and kissing her.

"Get a room." Emily said from the couch, she loved seeing her brother so happy.

"Feeling better?" Jason asked his sister.

"Getting there. How do people do this and go to college?" She wanted to know. Em looked at Liz who admitted to partying during her school days.

"Some don't." She said thinking of Sarah. Alcohol and drugs were why her sister never graduated. "I kept my partying to the weekends, and generally I stuck to a beer or two. Yes I did have times where I really got drunk, but they were rare and never when I had class the next day." Elizabeth explained.

"You guys feel up to a car ride?" He didn't want them puking in his truck.

"The fresh air will do us both good." Elizabeth could handle it and they'd bring a bag in case Emily couldn't. "Where are we going?"

"The mansion to see the boys." Jason explained standing up. "Come on." He walked behind the ladies. He was happy to see they were both steady and moving well. The ride was short and having the windows down did wonders for both Liz and Em.

They walked in to the mansion and Alice was waiting. "Everyone is in the parlor."

"Thanks." Jason said ushering the two ladies in. His mother and aunt were sitting on the couch looking wan. "Mom, Tracy. Hello grandmother."

"Jason, how are you?" Lila's eyes twinkled.

"I'm well, but I didn't spend the night down on the docks drinking." Jason laughed.

"Very funny." Tracy scowled at her nephew. She'd never passed out in her life from drinking. What stung more was the Elizabeth out drank her.

"Hey guys did you have a good morning?" Jason came over and squatted by Cameron and Ben.

"We were in the playroom." Cameron told his dad. "Daideo is on the phone." He shared.

"I was wondering where he was. I think he's coming now." Jason could here footsteps. It turned out to be Johnny and Alan. "Do you need to go?" Jason asked his dad. He hoped not because he wanted to share something with the family.

"No, it was just a question." Alan said sitting on the arm of the couch.

"Good. I have something in the car for the boys." Jason grinned.

"I brought the camera." Johnny figured Jason and Liz would want to keep this moment.

"Thanks. Everyone outside." Jason stood up. "To the area by the tennis court." It was smooth and paved which would be perfect for this.

"I'll push mother." Alan volunteered.

"I'll help you get everything." Johnny volunteered.

The family was gathered out back when Jason and Johnny joined them each carrying a bike. Ben had been riding for a while now, but Cameron had never owned a bicycle before. "Come here buddy."

"Is that mine?" Cameron asked softly.

"It's from your Uncle Lorenzo and Aunt Skye. Inside Nana can show you pictures of them. They have a little girl around your age." Jason said as he helped Cameron put on his elbow and kneepads, before strapping on his helmet. "Make sure you always have your helmet when you ride."

"How come you don't wear a helmet on your bike?" Cameron wanted to know.

Jason smiled thinking of what Francis had said. "I do now. I don't want to get hurt and leave you or mommy. So I stay safe on my bike, mommy wears a helmet too." Jason told his son. "Ready to get on?"

Cameron nodded and grinned. "Ben is going to ride too?" He hoped so, he liked doing things with his cousin.

"Yup, but in the beginning I'm going to help you." Cameron's bike didn't have training wheels. Jason had done a lot of research and the consensus was the extra wheels didn't help kids learn how to balance their bikes. Johnny had taught Ben to ride without them. If Cameron was truly uncomfortable Jason would put them on. "Ready?"

"Okay." Cameron watched his cousin who was already riding around.

"I'm gonna hold on in the beginning, and then I'll let you go. If you fall over don't worry about it, we can always try again and your safety gear will keep you from getting hurt." Jason looked over and Elizabeth waved at them. She was smiling and that helped Cameron to relax. "Hop on." Jason had guessed where the seat should be and had to adjust it just a bit. "Okay, hands on the handlebars and one foot on the pedal. Push off." Jason told his son.

They went in a wide circle slowly at first as Cameron got used to the bike. He wobbled some as he tried to find his balance. The first time Jason let go the little boy instantly toppled over. Before Jason could say anything Ben was by his cousin's side. "You okay?" He asked.

Cameron nodded. He was feeling a little shaky.

"I fell too." Ben told him. "Get back on your bike so we can ride together." With that Ben went back to his bike.

"Want to try again?" Jason said in a voice that made him seem calmer that he was. When Cameron fell over Jason's stomach sank. It took everything in him not to run over and pick his son up even though Cameron wasn't hurt. "You can take a few minutes."

Cameron walked over and picked up the bike. "I want to ride with Ben."

Jason worried if maybe doing this with Ben was putting too much pressure on Cameron. "It's okay if you don't get the hang of it today. We have all summer to practice."

"Okay." Cameron said straddling the bike.

"Okay." Jason set them off again on a slow pace. He held the bike and when he felt Cameron was doing well Jason let go.

The bike wobbled without Jason's steadying hand, but Cameron corrected himself. He rode for about a minute before falling over again. Before Jason could trot over Cameron had himself up and was straddling the bike. Ben came over again. "You have to push off like this." The almost four year old said showing his cousin how it was done.

Cameron watched and repeated the action. He wobbled before righting himself and riding behind his cousin.

"He's doing it!" Elizabeth said clutching Jason's hand in hers.

"He might fall again." Jason warned, but it was already clear that if he did the little boy was willing to try again.

"Look mommy!" Cameron called out riding slowly in a circle. His bike was still shaking more than Ben's, but he was riding with his cousin.

"I see baby." Elizabeth was so proud of him. "Thank you."

"I didn't buy the bike." Jason reminded her smiling.

"But you brought it over and taught him to ride." Elizabeth pointed out.

"Actually Ben taught him to ride." Jason said laughing.

Monica was recording everything.

"He looks good." Edward had come out while Jason was helping Cameron to steady himself. "Thank you for calling." He said to his grandson.

"It's a big day for a kid. I remembered that we all watched Ben ride for the first time." Jason wanted Cameron to have those kinds of memories.

"I think that this calls for cake after dinner." Lila announced when both boys stopped in front of her so she could see their bikes. Ben's was new as well because he had grown since last year. "How does that sound?"

"Yum." Ben said smiling. He really liked cake.

"Okay." Cameron said softly. He was going to be brave. "Daideo?" He called.

"Yes." Alan smiled wide at the fact that Cameron was talking to him. He came over and bent down so the little boy didn't have to speak too loudly.

"Can I sit with you at dinner?" The little boy asked.

"I would like that." Alan replied smiling.

"Do you think Poppa will sit with us too?" Cameron asked about sitting at the table.

"I bet he will." Alan would tell Edward about the request. "Why don't you ride some more."

"Okay." Cameron said pushing off and riding around with Ben while the family watched.

Thanks for the reviews!
