Chapter 34 - Growth

Georgie walked into Kelly's. They had redecorated it and it looked nice. She saw Mac and sat down.

"Maxie is running a little late."

"Some things never change."

Mac smiled. "Sorry if I'm staring. It's just so good to see you."

Georgie smiled. "It's okay. Is mom coming?"

"She's helping Maxie get Georgie ready."

"Is she a handful?"

"Not yet but she can be a little stubborn."

"Karma," Georgie said.

Bobbie walked up to the counter to get some coffee and when she turned away, Shawn had to steady her so she didn't fall. "Georgie?"

Georgie grinned and stood up. "I'm back."

"How?"

"Helena."

Bobbie growled. "That old witch, someone needs to put her down. Get over here." She had no idea how the hell Georgie could look the same but she didn't care. She was just so happy she was okay.

They hugged and she pulled back. "Just as beautiful as ever."

Georgie blushed.

"Some things don't change."

They laughed and chatted a minute and then Bobbie had to go.

Felicia came through the door and smiled and held the door open for Maxie and Georgie.

"Hello," Georgie said looking at her namesake.

Little Georgie smiled.

"That's your Auntie."

Georgie handed her ball to her Aunt.

"Thank you."

Then she held out her hand and took it back.

Shawn brought over a booster seat and something for Georgie to snack on to keep her busy.

"She's beautiful Maxie."

Maxie smiled. "I lost her for a while but it's a long story."

Georgie nodded. She had a feeling that Maxie had a lot of things she needed to catch her up on.

"Georgie, Dillon texted me. Apparently, Tracy gave him the news."

She wasn't sure how she felt about that. "What did he say?"

"That he was shocked but happy."

"I'm sure he has moved on."

"I don't think he's seeing anyone but it doesn't matter because it seems like you like Dylan."

Mac groaned.

"Stop it. He's been wonderful to me. He's funny and nice. You actually would like him."

Mac gave her a look and Maxie and Georgie laughed.

Felicia shook smiled. "You are more than welcome to bring him by the floating rib. I would love to get to know him better."

Georgie smiled. "Thanks mom. Did you tell dad?"

"I left a message for him to call. He's out in the field."

Georgie expected no less. They ate and laughed. Georgie realized how much she missed them. She stood up to use the bathroom and the door flew open and Dillon was standing there.

"Georgie," he said breathlessly.

She took him in. He looked like an older version of himself except his hair was stylish and tamed. "Hello Dillon."

He couldn't believe it. "How do you look exactly the same?"

"That's a long story."

He rushed towards her and picked her up and spun her as he held her and she laughed and hugged him back.

Dylan had walked by to check on her and watched as Dillon pulled back and kissed her forehead. Maxie saw him and he turned and walked away.

"Crap," she muttered.

"What's wrong?" Felicia asked.

"Dylan just saw that."

Felicia sighed. "You have to tell her."

"I will."

Dillon fawned over her for a few minutes.

"How long are you in town?"

"I have to be in California in two days."

"Can we have dinner?"

Georgie didn't know what to say. Maxie walked up and whispered in her ear and Georgie's heart dropped. "Can I get back to you on that?"

He nodded, not sure what was going on.

"I have to go." She grabbed her purse and kissed everyone goodbye and ran out of the diner.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Laughter filled the Morgan home as Jason tickled Jake and then Cam. Liz plopped down on the couch and saw Jason whisper something to the boys and then they attacked her. Jason dragged her down to the floor and she finally begged for them to stop.

"We got you mommy," Jake said grinning.

"You did. I can't believe you turned on me."

Cam laughed when his mom gave him a look and the next thing Jason knew, he was pushed backwards and they all were on top of him.

"Traitors," he yelled as he laughed. He somehow managed to turn over and get on this knees with them still on stop of them and when he started to move, Liz squealed and held on.

Dylan walked in and chuckled.

"Help Dylan," Jake yelled.

Dylan picked up Jake and threw him over his shoulder.

"Help," Cam yelled.

Dylan grabbed him with his other arm and Jason rolled, pulling Elizabeth onto the floor and then he laid on her and looked up at the boys. "Where's your mommy."

Jake yelled, "Mommy, I'll save you."

Liz was laughing so hard she couldn't talk.

Cam let him down and Jake jumped on Jason making Liz yell and Jake pulled Jason off of her and Jason half laid on Jake as he laughed.

Johnny chuckled from the entry way.

They laid exhausted on the floor.

"Who wants some chocolate milk?"

The boys screamed, "Me," and ran ahead of Johnny to the kitchen.

Liz looked up at Dylan. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Liar."

Jason smirked. "I'll help Johnny. You torture him until he tells you."

"I thought you had my back."

Jason smiled. "Most of the time I do."

Dylan shook his head and then helped Elizabeth up.

She fixed her hair and plopped onto the couch. "Talk to me."

"I went to the diner to check on Georgie and she was hugging Dillon."

Liz was surprised. "Wow. He came back."

"Can you blame him?"

"No. Did she look happy?"

"Very," Dylan said painfully.

"Dylan, I really don't think Georgie likes him romantically."

"Maybe it's partly because she doesn't think he would like her that way."

Liz shook her head. "Seriously, it just didn't work out with them. They were too young."

"And now they are older."

"Why are you looking so hard for the other shoe to drop?"

He looked down. "Cause it always does. Avery ended badly. Hayden was a total fake."

"And we didn't really get our chance."

"No, we didn't."

She touched his hand. "Don't let fear dictate your relationship with Georgie. You have to really go for it if it's what you want. Fight for her Dylan."

They were interrupted when the door opened and an out of breath Georgie stopped and stared at Dylan.

Liz got up. "You two need to talk."

"Follow me," Georgie said before going up to her room.

Dylan followed her and he shut the door. Georgie pushed him up against it and kissed the hell out of him. Dylan moaned and pushed her backwards until they fell onto the bed. Her legs wrapped around his waist and Dylan abruptly pulled back, not wanting to push it too far. "Georgie, I saw you with him and I almost lost my mind. You are mine and I can't lose you."

She touched his face. "I don't want him. I want you. God you drive me crazy Dylan. You're all I think about it."

He kissed her again, slowly and sensuously, making Georgie moan and rub against him. Pulling back, he rested his head against hers. "I want to be with you but I don't want to rush it. We've both been through so much."

"I know what you're doing but I don't need time Dylan. I just need you. I want to be with you."

She kissed him again and Dylan's resolve weakened.

"Tomorrow night, I'll get a room at the Metro Court."

She smiled. "I would like that."

Dylan smiled. "I'll talk to Carly, but let me be clear. We're not making love Georgie. I just want to spend time with you alone and making out will definitely be a part of that."

They laid there holding each other. Georgie was so happy. They were progressing and she couldn't wait until Dylan was ready.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Maxie was surprised to get a call from Georgie so soon. "Hey."

"I need your help. We need to go shopping tomorrow."

Maxie smirked. "Why, you have a hot date?"

"Yeah," Georgie said blushing.

"Are you and Dylan going to do it?"

Georgie almost choked. "No, I mean we're getting a room at the Metro Court but he's not ready for that yet. We just want to spend some time together."

"And make out?"

She giggled and Maxie grinned. She had missed talking to her sister like this.

"Yes."

"Are you ready to do more with him?"

"Yes. I know what I want, but I get why he wants to wait. Besides, part of me does want to wait until he's madly in love with me."

"You are such a romantic."

Georgie rolled over. "Are you happy with Nathan?"

"I'm very happy."

"Good. So you're game for tomorrow?"

"Definitely."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Georgie and Dylan took the boys out back to play but before they left, Jason pulled Georgie aside.

"What's this?"

"It's a bank account. You're going to need things until you get back on your feet. There's a debit card inside and checks. Diane set it up."

Georgie's eyes filled with tears. "No Jason, I just can't. You have already done so much for me and it's not your responsibility. I love the clothes Diane picked out and you're letting me live here. That is enough."

"Please Georgie. I'm not taking it back. Just use what you need. I have more money than I know what to do with. I feel like it's the right thing to do. You had years of your life stolen."

Liz walked up. "Please take it Georgie. You are our friend. I use to be so proud when it came to taking things from Jason, but sometimes, it's just foolish not to say no."

She hugged Liz tightly and then moved to give Jason a hug but stopped, not sure if he would be okay with it.

Jason smirked. "You can hug me Georgie."

Georgie smiled and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much."

She ran upstairs and sat it on her dresser and went outside with the boys while Jason and Elizabeth slipped upstairs.

"I'll be right back," Liz said disappearing into the bathroom.

Jason locked the door and sat on the bed. He felt nervous and he wasn't sure if Elizabeth was ready to make love.

Liz slipped on some lingerie and looked in the mirror. She was shaking a little, not even sure why. Making love with Jason had always been incredible. This was the first time that they were completely on the same page and definitely had a future together.

She walked out of the bathroom and Jason looked at her in awe.

"Beautiful," he barely whispered.

She walked to him and stood between his legs. "Make love to me Jason."

He placed his hand on the side of her face and moved her down to him sensuously kissing her mouth as his other hand skirted up her leg. He felt her shudder and he pulled back and looked into her eyes. Elizabeth though that he looked all kinds of sexy and almost moaned at the sight. His tongue flicked against her chin and then his mouth traveled down her throat.

Then he stood up, pulling her lingerie over her head and tossing it aside before pulling off his shirt. Her hands traveled down his chest as Jason sucked his breath in. His hands kneaded her breasts and played with her nipples. She quickly unbuckled his belt and undid his pants, as he kissed her reverently; working her into a frenzy. He pushed her onto the bed and finished taking off his clothes as she watched lustfully. Kissing his way up her leg, he grabbed her underwear and pulled them down. His eyes perused her body and then he dove between her legs and began to tease and suck on her clit, making Liz yell out his name. He relentlessly worked his tongue inside of her as he pressed on her clit and moved his thumb in a circle. Elizabeth grabbed his hair and lifted her hips as Jason feasted on her. Unexpectedly, she began to pant loudly and tensed before letting out a loud whimper as her body shook and Jason continued to pleasure her.

With hooded eyes, she watched him move between her legs.

"Are we safe?"

"Yes." She had been using an IUD for the last few years.

His hips snapped and he bottomed out, and both their bodies stilled, trying to process the invasion. Slowly he began to pump. God he missed being inside of her and hearing all the noises she makes. It was so damned sexy. He took his time, slowly making love to her until they both couldn't stand it and needed to come. Liz began to thrust against his movements, making his thrusts shake her body and he knew when she was about to come because she arched her back and all sound stopped before she began chanting his name. He felt her walls tightened and continued to pump until he couldn't hold back any longer and yelled out her name as he came endlessly.

He laid next to her as his body still jerked and tingled. "I missed you so much."

She grinned. "Ditto. That was incredible as always."

He turned on his side. "Thank you for giving me another chance Elizabeth. You mean everything to me."

She slightly smiled. "I'm glad that you gave me a chance too. I love you Jason. It has always been you even when I didn't want to admit it."

He kissed her gently. "I love you too."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

They took a shower together and then went downstairs. The kids were just running inside and they thanked Georgie and Dylan for watching them.

Dylan could tell that they had been together. Their body language had changed a little and he could sense the closeness. Elizabeth looked truly happy and he was glad that she had finally gotten everything she wanted. Jake was a great kid and he was enjoying getting to know him.

Cameron had to go back to school after the weekend. So they talked about it with him. News was spreading about Jake and Georgie and reporters were starting to ask questions. They wanted to make sure that he was protected and explained to him about the guards and needing to listen to them. He understood. None of them wanted to leave Jake but Jason assured him that one of them or a guard would always be with his brother to keep him safe.

Elizabeth hadn't thought about Cam being afraid to leave his brother's side. She took him aside to talk to him. "Are you scared to leave Cam?"

"A little bit. Suppose Helena comes back mom? I can't lose him again."

Liz pulled her son into her arms. "Jason and I will do everything we can to stop that from happening. In fact, all of us feel that way. We are having her watched Cam. At least we know where she is."

"Can't Jason just get rid of her?"

"Cameron!"

Cameron looked away sheepishly. "I know what his job is." He and Spencer had googled him months prior.

"Was."

"I don't mean to have bad thoughts but I just want him safe," Cam said as his lip quivered. Elizabeth started to cry. She never wanted Cam exposed to any of this and the fact that he was thinking about having someone killed to protect his brother just did her in.

Jason walked up and Cam pulled back from his mother and hurled himself against Jason's legs as the former enforcer looked at Elizabeth who was a hot mess. "What's going on?"

"I can't even say it," Liz said softly.

Cam pulled back with tears streaming down his face. "I want you to make Helena go away for good. Does that make me bad?"

Jason's heart sunk and he knelt down. "Cam, you are not bad. You're just scared."

"But I really want her gone."

"We all do but we have to do things the right way."

"Why? Why can't you just do it and protect him?" Cam yelled.

Georgie's heart broke listening to the conversation from the kitchen and she motioned for Dylan and they took an oblivious Jake back outside.

"There are consequences for every action Cam. What if I get caught? I would have to go to jail. Is that what you want?" He actually had no intention of letting Helena live, but he wasn't going to tell Cam that. It was a burden a kid shouldn't have to bear.

"No. I want you here with us."

"Then I need to handle this the right way. People are helping me deal with her. I'm trying to be a better man so that you can be proud of me and I can be a good dad."

Cam hugged Jason. "I'm sorry."

Jason rubbed his back. "You have nothing to be sorry for Cam. It's a natural reaction. I don't want you to beat yourself up about it okay?"

Cam nodded and pulled back. "Can I go to my room?"

"Of course."

He ran upstairs and Jason pulled Elizabeth into his arms and he held her as she cried and tears flowed down his face.
