Chapter 66

"Ready?" Elizabeth asked Cameron in a soft whisper. They were standing outside the closed door of the master bedroom. Jason still had his eyes closed when she crept out of bed. Yesterday had been the company picnic, and today they were all a bit tired. The games had kept everyone moving and the boys had spent a good amount of time in the bouncy house. Elizabeth hadn't realized how many of the guys had families. She spent a lot of time meeting wives and kids as she and Emily pulled hostess duty. That her friend filled the busy role by herself in years past amazed Elizabeth.

The night ended with an amazing fireworks display. So this morning it had been a bit hard to get moving, but she did because today was a truly special day. This was one of the days she had been anticipating since they got married.

"Will he like it?" Cameron asked chewing his lower lip like his mom did.

"I'm sure he will." Elizabeth promised her son. "Let's go." She knocked just so Jason had some warning. Because she knew what the plan for this morning was she had suggested to her husband they get dressed after making love when they got home. She opened the door and stuck her head in. That he was sitting up didn't surprise her, he probably woke up when she left the room. Turning around she winked at Cameron before pushing the door open wider so their son could enter.

Slowly the little boy walked into the room careful not to spill any of the hot liquid he was carrying. He promised mommy he was big enough to do this. When he reached the side of the bed he started breathing a bit harder. He was so scared that daddy wouldn't like what he had done. "I brought you coffee." Cameron said in a voice that shook.

"Thanks." Jason reached down and took the mug. He took a sip and smiled. "It's good. I really like the mug."

"You do?" Cameron asked relaxing some. "I made it at the art center."

Jason smiled as he looked at the gift. It was like Monica's, a mug with Cameron's hand prints on it, but it was bigger than the one his mom received. "It's big." Jason said to Elizabeth.

"You don't have small hands." Elizabeth pointed out. "Go get the rest." She said sitting on the side of the bed.

"There's more?" Jason hadn't expected that. The only thing he asked for was the mug.

"There is." Elizabeth said smiling as Cameron came back with the gift bag.

"Happy Father's Day!" Cameron said as his mother helped him climb up onto the bed. Charlie meowed loudly, because she had been running behind Cam, so Elizabeth helped her up too. "I picked everything out myself." Now that he was more relaxed, the little boy was chatty.

The bag was medium sized and looking inside Jason saw several wrapped items. "Let's see what you got me." He said putting the gift bag on his lap. The first item was in a small box, and in it was a keychain medallion that said 'My dad rides a Harley.' That would go on his keys as soon as he went downstairs. Next was an apron that said 'World's Best Dad' for when they cooked together. The monogrammed money clip was third. The fourth gift was a massive bar of chocolate that Jason would share. The final gift, in the bottom of the bag, was a framed photograph of Jason and Cameron for his desk at the warehouse. "Thank you." Jason was smiling wide at his haul.

"You like all the gifts?" Cameron just wanted to make sure.

"I did." Jason put down his mug and gave his son a big hug.

"There's a card in the bag." Elizabeth knew that he had missed it.

Jason kept an arm around his son as he moved the tissue paper around some. He found the folded piece of construction paper at the very bottom of the bag. On the front Cameron had drawn a small boy with curls and a tall man with blonde hair. They were holding hands. Jason could already feel his eyes burning. Inside in uneven letters that let him know Cameron had written the words himself was a simple message. 'I love you daddy. Thank you for being nice to me and for reading me stories. Your son Cameron.' Jason couldn't do anything but hold his son tight. He looked at Elizabeth, whose eyes were shiny with unshed tears. "Thank you." He said softly.

"You're welcome." Elizabeth had to wipe away tears. Cameron was excited to give his dad the things in the bag, but she knew the real gift was the little boy himself.

"Mommy had to help me with the card." Cameron admitted his earlier reserve gone. "I couldn't spell all the words by myself."

"You did an amazing job." Jason had to clear his throat before speaking.

"Mommy has a gift for you too." Cameron wanted his dad to know. "Go get it."

"Okay." Elizabeth went into the closet and brought out a box. It was dark blue and about the length of a shoe box, but twice as wide.

"Thanks." Jason kept Cameron on his lap and together they pulled off the lid.

"Mommy you forgot to put the gift inside." Cameron said looking at the empty interior.

"It's supposed to be empty." Elizabeth said smiling. Charlie crawled onto her lap and started purring. She stroked the kitty's soft fur as she explained about the gift. "Daddy will fill it up. It's a memory box. It's a safe place for daddy to keep the things you give him."

"Like what?" Cameron still didn't understand why mommy gave daddy an empty box.

"Like this." Jason said putting Cameron's card inside. "I want to keep that card for always. It will be safe in the box."

Cameron still wasn't impressed but daddy liked it so that was okay. "I'm hungry."

"Let me get clean and we'll head over to the mansion." Like on Mother's day the family was gathering to celebrate the day.

"How about if we go downstairs and you can have a banana while we wait for daddy to get dressed." Elizabeth suggested.

"And milk." Cameron was thirsty too.

"And milk." Elizabeth agreed. The little boy hopped down and Charlie leapt off the bed to follow on the adventure. "Happy Father's Day." She said leaning in to kiss Jason.

"Thank you for sharing him with me." Jason said putting his hand on the back of her neck to keep her close. "I don't have the words to tell you how much I love him, and you." His eyes were stinging again.

"We know." She assured him.

"Mommy! I'm hungry!" Cameron called upstairs.

Both adults laughed. "I need to go give your son a snack. Hurry up we have more gifts to give out." Elizabeth said walking from the room.


They arrived at the mansion and Cameron set about giving out hugs. Over the last month he had started talking to Edward and now the two were almost inseparable. Tracy said that when Ben was over the three of them had to be watched closely because they got up to all kinds of mischief.

After the O'Briens arrived the family had brunch and just like on Mother's day gifts were handed out in the parlor. Alan got the mug he wanted from Cameron and a combined gift from Jason, Emily, Johnny, and Elizabeth. The four of them presented Alan with a cabin cruiser for fishing. He couldn't wait to take it out. Edward got a paperweight from Cameron, while his grandchildren gave him a restored roadster. Both men beamed. Johnny proudly showed off the tie clip that Ben had picked out for him while Jason told them about the card his son made.

"Take a walk with me?" Jason asked his wife after all the gifts had been given out.

"Sure." Elizabeth said taking his hand. Some air would keep her from falling asleep. She had stuffed herself at the midmorning meal.

They once again strolled through the rose garden. The summer roses were in bloom and she stopped to admire a few. Jason led them to a bench that was in a secluded section of the garden. The last time they hadn't walked through this area. "Have a seat." He invited.

He looked serious so she waited to hear what was on his mind.

"I love you." Jason said sitting next to her and smiling. He couldn't think of a better day or place to do this. "I have a gift for you."

"You aren't supposed to give me gifts today Jason." Elizabeth said cupping her husband's cheek. "I had my day last month."

"I seem to recall you telling Cameron last week that this was my day, and I got to decide what we did." Jason said giving her a cheeky grin. "I want to do this today. It's my gift to myself."

"Okay." Elizabeth was enjoying the light in his eyes.

Reaching into his pocket Jason removed a small box before getting down on one knee. "You and our son are the most important things in my life. Because of both of you I am a better man. I want you to know every day how much you mean to me. Elizabeth Imogene Morgan, will you marry me?" Jason asked softly.

"Oh Jason." She sighed. "Yes."

Jason opened the box and showed her the pale pink sapphire in a halo setting. Diamonds were not his girl's favorite stone. "I know that we are already married, but I want to stand up in front of my family and say the words. I want them to see us join our lives. I want them to know how proud I am to be your husband. I'd like to have Father Coates officiate because I want our union to be blessed."

Elizabeth got that Jason felt he cheated her out of a wedding. She didn't feel the loss of anything, but saying their vows in front of all their family and friends was something she would very much like to do. "I really like the sound of that."

He took off her eternity ring and slipped on the engagement ring that he had picked out for her. Then he put the ring he'd given her for allowing him to adopt Cameron back in place. "When we return from Italy you can start planning. Whatever you want." He wanted her to have her dream wedding. "Let's go back in and tell the family."


They didn't even have to say anything because Emily spotted the ring as soon as they walked in. When Jason announced they were getting married again, the ladies wanted to immediately start planning. Elizabeth was the one to say no. It was Father's Day and she had taken up enough of it. They could start planning the ceremony another time because the wedding wouldn't take place until next spring so there was no rush. Monica suggested after they returned from vacation which made Emily pout because she wouldn't be home then. So Elizabeth suggested they start in September.

After brunch the families broke up and the Morgans returned to the penthouse. Cameron went upstairs and took a nap while Jason and Elizabeth sat on the couch and just enjoyed being together. "What would you like to do with the rest of your day?" Elizabeth asked looking up at Jason.

"I want to take Cameron to the park when he gets up." Jason told his wife.

"He would like that. Do you want to take him by yourself?" Elizabeth asked him.

"Would you mind?" Jason wanted some one on one time with his son.

"Not at all." Elizabeth would use the time to look at wedding gowns. Just because the planning wouldn't start until after the summer was over didn't mean she couldn't start looking at what type of dresses were out there. She knew nothing about wedding dresses. Maybe lunch with Maxie was called for. "Cameron loves having daddy time."

"Later tonight you can have daddy time if you like." Jason said kissing her neck.

"It's a date." Elizabeth promised before closing her eyes to take a quick nap. Thinking he might need the energy later Jason decided a nap wouldn't hurt him either.


Hi All! I thought I'd take a second to answer a question that has popped up in my PM box a lot since I've started writing. So if this doesn't interest you feel free to skip it. The question: Why isn't there more angst in your stories? The answer: I watched GH for decades and when it came to Liason we got a lot more angst than actual relationship. So if I'm going to write Liason, I will write what I wanted to see on television. Them being smart, strong, mature, and most importantly together. If they aren't together when the story starts, I get them together as soon as possible. Even if they aren't married, its clear they are a couple or becoming one. I feel they are stronger together, and for me too much angst slows down the story I want to tell. However, I did get a story idea where they aren't together for most of the fiction, its a great idea and I'm trying to figure out if I can actually write it (at the moment the answer is no). If I can, it will most likely be the only angst filled story I do. Because I just really don't like writing angst. However there are a great many writers out there who do angst, and do it wonderfully. Thanks!

Thanks for the reviews!
