Chapter 40 - Unexpected

Jason opened the door and was surprised to see Alexis.

"Hey, I know it's late but I was on my way home and I just missed him."

Jason nodded and let her walked inside. "He's in his room. Liz is reading him and Jake a story."

He led the way and Alexis stood in the doorway and smiled. The two boys were both cuddled against Elizabeth and looked like they were mesmerized.

She finished and they clapped. Danny looked up and grinned and climbed off the bed and ran to Alexis who scooped him up. "How's my sweet baby?"

Danny hugged her tightly. "Love you Nana."

"I love you too."

He pulled back. "Where's mommy?"

"She's trying to get better."

Liz smiled. "Danny where is the card you made?"

He pointed to the desk and Liz looked under some papers and handed it to him.

"For mommy."

Alexis smiled. "She's going to really like that."

He smiled.

"She told me to give you hugs and kisses."

She proceeded to kiss him on the cheek and give him a big hug.

"I know your mommy gives better hugs but she just needs some time to feel better."

"Okay."

"I will give you her card the next time I visit her."

Danny nodded.

Jake smiled at Alexis and then went to his room.

"I have to admit Jason, you make really cute babies."

Jason smiled. "Hopefully, we'll get a girl next."

Alexis chuckled. "Are you trying?"

"No," Liz said more loudly than she meant too causing Alexis and Jason to laugh.

"We're in no hurry, although I'll be ancient if we wait too much longer," Jason said sadly.

Liz rolled her eyes as Alexis grinned.

Alexis put Danny in the bed and kissed him goodnight. Then Jason kissed him and lastly Liz.

They left the room and Jason excused himself for a moment so they could tuck Jake in. Alexis went downstairs.

Cam walked around the corner and almost ran into her. "Hi," he said mid chew.

Alexis smiled. "Hi Cam."

"Want a cookie?"

"They look really good."

"We made them earlier, come on."

She followed him into the kitchen and opened a container and Alexis took one.

"Oh my God, these are delicious."

"Mom is good at baking."

"I suck in the kitchen. I think I could burn water."

Cam laughed. "Is that even possible?"

"If I'm cooking, then yes. Oh, by the way, I have a message from Diane."

Cam's eyes grew wide.

"You are officially a Webber."

Cam grinned. "Nice." He gave her a fist bump and went upstairs.

Liz walked by and messed up his hair.

"Elizabeth, these cookies are divine."

Liz smiled. "I've been experimenting. I can put some in a zip lock for you."

"Hell yeah. I think I'm addicted. I can't let Diane see them. She will probably tackle me for them."

Liz laughed.

"I just told Cam that Diane said it's official. The name change is done."

Liz smiled. "I know that made him happy."

"Yes. I don't think I ever fist bumped before."

"You do it a lot when you live around here."

Jason walked into the room. "I see you found Liz's version of crack. You won't turn us in right?"

Alexis grinned. "As long as you keep them coming, it's our secret."

"Listen, since you're here, I was wondering if you'd be willing to come to Jake's belated surprise birthday party on Sunday," Liz said.

Alexis smiled. "Oh I'd love it."

"You can bring Molly."

"Is Ned welcome?"

"Of course."

"Then it's a date."

Liz smiled.

"Can I bring anything?"

"Just your appetite," Jason said.

"What does Jake like?"

"Um, motorcycles, super heroes, pretty much anything actually. I heard him mention something about a ninja turtle outfit."

"I'll get him that," Alexis said. "Text me his size."

"Done."

Everyone had asked Elizabeth that question and she was running out of suggestions.

"Is Danny doing okay?"

"He's adjusting pretty well. A couple of nights he woke up crying for Sam."

"I'm sure it's hard for him to understand."

"I think it helps that you reassure him. I had an idea that I was going to give him a small welcome present. I know it's hard for the little ones to understand when their siblings get presents and they don't. I did the same thing with Jake and Cam," Liz explained.

Alexis nodded. "You're a good mom Elizabeth. Well, I'll take my cookies and go home."

Liz walked her out and then walked back to the kitchen and caught Jason eating a cookie. "Don't you go ruining those abs of yours. I've grown quite fond of them."

Jason smirked. "I'll make sure that it goes straight to my hips."

Liz laughed loudly. Georgie had been complaining about that earlier. "You don't really have any hips, but nice try."

Jason pulled her into him. "You are so damn sexy."

She slightly smirked. "I'll show you sexy."

They gave each other a lingering kiss.

"Get a room," Johnny said walking into the kitchen. He stole two cookies and popped one into his mouth."

"He's the one that needs to worry about his abs," Jason said.

"I've been hitting the gym every morning. Funny, I've never seen you in there."

Jason shook his head. "Just don't sweat all over the equipment."

Johnny grinned. "Are you going to the hospital tomorrow?"

Liz nodded. It was the only time she was allowed to leave and she was taking advantage of it. There was some paperwork she needed to sign for her leave of absence.

"Who's going with you?"

"Cody."

"Have you heard from Francis?"

Jason nodded. "Yeah. Sonny didn't give him too many details but I think he's letting him in."

"Good. It will give us a jump-start in case something happens."

"I agree."

"On the way out, I'm going to have to stop by the nurse's desk to give Patrick some cookies or I'll never hear the end of it."

Jason smiled. "Sounds good."

They chatted for a while longer and then checked on Cam and then went to bed. They had a long day ahead of them.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Georgie laid her head against Dylan's chest as they swayed to the music. Dinner had gone very well and Felicia and Mac had joined them for dessert.

Her mother watched them with a slight smile on her face. "I think he's quite taken with my daughter."

Mac grunted making Felicia chuckle.

"I thought you like him."

"He's a little old for her but, she's happy."

"She is and that is the most important thing after all she has been through."

"She has a guard," Mac said painfully.

Felicia's eyes traveled over to the man seated a few tables away. "I'd rather her be safe."

It still made Mac angry that Georgie was staying with Elizabeth and Jason. "I just wished she'd come home with us."

"Me too but as long as Helena is alive, she's in danger."

"I wish Morgan would just end her already. Why does he pick now to get all soft and grow a conscience?"

"I don't think Jason is letting anything go. He'll protect his family no matter what and that includes Georgie and Dylan." Felicia said.

"Since when are you a champion of Jason Morgan?"

"Since he decided that Georgie was important enough to protect. Besides, he wants to start all over. I think it's great that he's turning his back on the violence."

"True."

Georgie pulled back and looked up at Dylan. "Did you have a good time?"

"Yes. I think your parents are tolerating me and you look fabulous in that dress."

She grinned. "Thank you." She didn't wear a lot of dresses before but now, she really liked them. Maybe it was just that Diane had really good taste.

"I want to kiss you so badly, but I think Mac's head would implode and that would get a little messy."

Georgie laughed loudly. "Let's get out of here."

He kissed her on the forehead. "You got it."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Patrick walked around the empty house. Emma was staying the night with Robin and then they were going to go shopping for Jake's present. Plopping onto the couch, he sadly looked around. He missed Danny and Sam for that matter. Alexis had filled him in on where Sam and Danny were staying. He had made so many mistakes; starting with Lisa Niles. He wasn't sure how to turn it around. He thought he had finally found a good match in Sam. And they were happy. God he was angry because now he had to start all over again. His phone rang and when he picked it up, all he heard was soft crying. "Sam?"

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

His eyes filled with tears. "You shouldn't do this to yourself."

"I don't want you to hate me."

"I don't."

"If I had known, I would have done everything I could to save our baby."

"I know you would have. Where are you?" Patrick asked wondering if she had come back already.

"I'm still at the retreat. I just—I just need to hear your voice, to know you don't hate me. I know we're through. It's just you're such a good listener and I just needed to hear a familiar voice."

A tear slid down Patrick's face. "If you need me to, then I'll listen."

"It's beautiful here. I love the ocean. The sunset tonight was incredible."

Patrick laid his head back.

"How is Emma?"

"She's doing better. I think school helps."

Sam wiped some tears away. "Have you seen Danny?"

"I will be seeing him tomorrow."

"Can you take a picture for me and text it?"

"Of course. I know it probably doesn't seem like it, but you will get to a point where you can stand on your own two feet again."

"I know. It's just painful, but I am a fighter. It took Elizabeth to remind me of that."

"Really?" Patrick said.

"Yeah. Well, I don't want to take up a lot of your time."

He noticed she had calmed down considerably. "I'm glad you called."

"I can't rely on you anymore but it helped to hear your voice. It made me feel normal."

He slightly smiled. "I'm glad."

Sam remembered something she wanted to ask him. "Are you talking to anyone?"

"Not really."

"You should. Your feelings count too."

"Thank you for saying that. How is the food there?"

Sam started listing some of the gourmet foods and Patrick smiled. It sounded like a pretty nice place. They talked for another ten minutes and Sam hung up feeling a lot lighter and Patrick realized that he didn't want to be in a dark place either and he called Epiphany to see what she was doing and then went over to her apartment to watch a movie.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The next morning, was a whirlwind of activity. Jason and Johnny went out really early and shopped, getting everything on Elizabeth's list. When they got back, Liz was making omelets for breakfast and they joined everyone at the table. They had had just finished up when Epiphany showed up.

"Hey girl," Liz said smiling.

"Hey. Did you tell him?"

Liz grinned. "I wanted it to be a surprise."

They walked into the dining room and Cam got up and gave her a hug."

Jason looked up and smiled. "Hey. Did you come over to check and see if she was making the brownies?"

Epiphany smiled. "No, but that is a good idea. Why isn't your butt in the kitchen missy?"

Liz laughed. "Later you addict. Jason, Epiphany is going to go with you shopping."

Jason was surprised.

"You think you can handle that?" Epiphany asked.

Jason tilted his head as he was thinking. "I'm not really sure how to answer that."

Liz laughed. "Come on. You can ride with us to the hospital and then you two can drop me off."

She grabbed her purse and they said goodbye to the boys and left Georgie in charge until she got back.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

The trio walked into G.H. and went to human resources first so Elizabeth could sign the paperwork. When they came off the elevator, Dr. Obrecht was standing there.

"Well, well, what do we have here?

Elizabeth couldn't stand the woman. "I'm just dropping something off."

"See to it that you do it quickly. My staff doesn't need the distraction."

They walked away.

"You sure you can't kill her?" Liz asked Jason.

Epiphany grinned.

"Do I need to give you the same speech I gave Cam?" Jason asked.

Liz smirked and then looked at a nurse. "Can you get these to Patrick please?"

Before the nurse could answer, Patrick came around the corner.

"What are you doing here?"

"Dropping that off to you."

Patrick licked his lips. "What's in there? Please say brownies."

"Nope."

Patrick sighed. "It's cruel to tease a man like that."

"Just open it."

He opened it and grinned. Popping one into his mouth, he groaned and then turned to look at her. "They are phenomenal."

Liz smiled.

"Are you sure you want to be with him? Because I would keep you barefoot, naked, and baking if you were my girl."

Jason shot Patrick a look but before he could threaten his life, a voice boomed throughout the room.

"Well look who it is. How could you Elizabeth?"

"Shit," Epiphany muttered.

They turned around and stared at Lucky.

"Did you think I wouldn't find out about Jake and the fact that you are trying to take Cameron away from me?"

Liz rolled her eyes.

He looked at Jason with disgust. "Are you fucking Morgan again? We all know what a disaster that was the first time. Does Sam know?"

Patrick growled and Epiphany had to hold him back.

"Are you done asshole?"

A crowd started to gather.

Lucky was surprised by her feistiness but that didn't stop him. "No, I'm just getting started. Cam is my son. You are not taking him away from me."

"You know Lucky, considering you never corrected the paperwork that was returned to you, I don't understand why you are standing there acting as if you didn't know that you failed to complete the process. Cam is not your son. He never will be your son and he doesn't want to be."

"So Jason poisoned him against me?"

"You are a deadbeat dad. You didn't call or write him. Hell, I bet you didn't even think about him. He isn't stupid Lucky."

Carly walked around the corner. "What the hell?"

Lucky walked closer. "Wait until he finds out who St. Elizabeth really is. You are nothing but a whore and a slut who uses her children to manipulate men."

"Well maybe if you knew how to please a woman, I wouldn't have to go elsewhere."

Carly snorted.

"And let's talk about whores shall we? You slept with my sister. You popped pills and fucked Maxie Jones in our bed. You slept with Sam just to get back at me which honestly only made you look bad since you knew what she did to the kids."

Lucky visibly recoiled.

"What? When your shit is thrown in your face you can't handle it? One of the most hateful things you ever did was throw my rape in my face."

"I never…."

"What happened to that precious little girl that I found trembling in the snow? I'll always love her," She said dramatically mocking him.

Carly gasped as Jason clenched his fists. It was about to get even uglier.
