Chapter 73 – Wedding Bliss

Nicholas walked into the room. "Hey faux bro. What's up?"

Jason smiled. "Hey. Good to see you."

"I thought I'd swing by and see if you needed anything."

"I'm good."

Nick could tell that Jason was tired. His mother had explained what was going on. "I left my dad and Paul together at the hotel." He grinned and Jason chuckled.

"Hopefully, they will play nice."

"We brought Abby. She is running around here somewhere."

Abby walked in with some flowers. "This room is dismal."

Jason smiled. "It's fine."

Abby put the flowers down and rearranged them a little. "Much better."

"Michael and AJ, this is my little sister Abby," Nick said.

She shook both of their hands. "Nice to meet you." She looked over at Jason. "How are you?"

"I'm slow but I'm doing better."

"No more getting shot."

Jason smiled. "I'll work on that."

Abby smiled and looked over at her brother. "Alright, we need to go get dressed."

"What's wrong with what I have on?"

She stared as his jeans and t-shirt for a second and then rolled her eyes. "Really?"

Grabbing his arm, she pulled him towards the door before looking over her shoulder. "Come on. See you later groom."

"Bye."

Michael waited until they were into the hallway. "Okay, now she was hot."

"She might be a lot for you to handle."

Michael rolled his eyes. "Why?"

Jason chuckled. He wasn't going to tell Michael about Abby's wild past. Shrugging, he looked up at his nephew. "Well, you can talk to her after the wedding."

AJ went and got a nurse so that they could put the pants on Jason. He still had a catheter so they had to be careful.

Jason hated that he felt so weak. It was embarrassing.

Michael rubbed his shoulders. "It's going to be fine."

Patrick walked in and noted the tension. "Look, I seriously will fill in for you if you're not up for this."

Jason rolled his eyes. "Over my dead body."

"You're so dramatic. It doesn't have to come to that. How is your pain?"

"Right now, about an eight."

"And when is the last time you had any pain meds?"

"It's been a few hours."

"Jason..." Patrick said before pressing the button. "Every hour. We reduced the amount it dispenses. Trust me on this, if you take it once an hour it will help you get through this day."

"Okay."

"It's shirt time," AJ said, looking at the time.

Patrick stood back as the nurse removed the gown.

They let Jason rest for a few minutes and then put the shirt on and buttoned it for him. When he stood up to get into the wheel chair, they would get him into the jacket.

"You clean up nice," Patrick said.

Jason grunted. It was going to be a long day.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Everyone at the Morgan house piled into cars. Elizabeth was excited to finally get on their way. As they headed to the hospital, she thought about how she met Jason and their connection. It had always been him. She had run from it, but she couldn't remember a time in her life since she had taken care of him in the studio when she didn't love Jason. He was always in her heart, even when she was with someone else. And now, they were finally going to be together and she couldn't be happier.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

They got Jason up and slipped the jacket on as fast as they could. He slowly walked to the chair and turned around.

"You're doing great Jason," Patrick said.

He nodded and got comfortable.

Nikki and Monica walked into the room. "You look great."

Jason smiled. "Thanks."

"Elizabeth looks gorgeous and your sons look very handsome."

"I can't wait to see them."

"We're almost there," Nikki said before turning to Patrick. "They are ready for him in the auditorium."

The nurse gave him another dose of medication and then they made their way to the stage.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

"You look beautiful," Victor said, to Elizabeth.

She turned and smiled. "Thank you."

"This is from Jason."

Epiphany and Georgie walked towards her.

Elizabeth unwrapped the box and gasped. "It's beautiful."

It was a diamond necklace.

"It was Lila's."

Liz was very moved. "I'll cherish it."

Victor kissed her on the forehead. "Be happy."

Liz smiled. "I will."

He left and Epiphany gave her some diamond earrings from Monica and a blue garter.

"That is from Nikki from her first wedding to Victor."

Liz put it on. "How many weddings were there?"

"She implied that there have been way too many," Georgie said, smiling.

Liz chuckled.

Jake and Cam ran into the room. "Mommy you look bootiful," Jake said, smiling.

"Thank you Jakey. You look very handsome and so does Cam."

"Are you ready?" Cam asked.

"Yes. Is Jason ready?"

Cam smiled. "He's on the stage waiting."

Liz grinned. "Let's do this."

Epiphany grabbed her flowers and they headed to the auditorium.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiI

Jason watched as Epiphany and Georgie walked down the aisle. They looked beautiful. Piph winked at him and Jason grinned. Everyone had done a great job decorating the normally boring room. There were flowers everywhere and a trellis on the stage.

Georgie smiled as she passed them and Dylan winked at her.

The music started to change and when Elizabeth started walking with her sons on either side of her, there wasn't a person there who wasn't smiling at the sight.

Elizabeth looked absolutely gorgeous and Jason was mesmerized by her. When they got to the front, Jake looked up at his dad and pointed at the officiant and said, "He said I had to give mommy to you, but I can't do that. You can borrow her."

Everyone laughed.

Jason smiled. "You've got a deal."

They shook hand and Jake went and sat down. Cam shook Jason's hand. "Thank you for making us so happy."

Jason smiled. "Thank you for being such a great son."

Cam sat down next to Jake and Jason took Elizabeth's hand. Johnny turned him and the ceremony began.

After about five minutes, it was time for the vows. Elizabeth had told the pastor that she needed him to do a shorter ceremony due to Jason's injury.

"Jason you may say your vows."

To everyone's amazement. Jason, with Johnny's help stood up and then took Liz's hands. "Elizabeth, I have loved you for so long. You have taken care of me and been there for me when I was at my lowest. I will never take you for granted again. You have my heart. Thank you giving me another chance to love you and have a family. You have given me two great sons and I promise that I will be the best father and husband that I can be-and all the gushy stuff."

Liz chuckled along with everyone else. "Jason, you were always the dream I thought I could never have, but today, my dreams are coming true. We've been through so much and no matter what kept us separated, our love for each other never faltered. I know it took a lot for you to be here today. Thank you for making my dream come true and for just being you. Your love is all that I need."

Jason smiled at her and Johnny helped him sit down.

They gazed into each other's eyes as the ceremony continued, grinning like fools.

"I now pronounce you man and wife."

Before he could even say the next sentence. Liz sat down on Jason's lap and kissed him as everyone cheered and yelled, "It's about time."

Liz pulled back laughing. "I love you so much."

"I love you too Mrs. Morgan."

She lifted her arms and pumped a few times as everyone clapped.

Johnny started to move the chair and she put her arms around Jason's neck. They were wheeled to the other side of the stage and everyone got up and she smiled as she saw all the familiar faces. One by one they greeted them and gave them hugs.

There was some hors d' oeuvres brought in and some sparkling wine. Johnny made toast.

"You two are inspiring. Your love is a beautiful thing to behold. I wish you good health and happiness. I don't know anyone else that deserves it as much as you. To Jason and Elizabeth," he said raising his glass.

Everyone took a sip and Epiphany stepped forward. "Everyone here knows that I love me some Jason and Elizabeth."

Everyone laughed.

"You give me hope that no matter what, love can conquer all. I feel privileged to bear witness to it. I have never seen anyone look at someone with as much love as Jason does when he looks at Elizabeth. You've got a good man." Liz smiled. "And I have never seen a woman have as much faith and trust in a man like Elizabeth has for Jason. I hope you both are happy and pop at least one more baby out for me." Everyone laughed again. "To my favorite couple."

Everyone raised their glasses and then AJ started to bang on his glass with a fork and everyone followed.

Jason looked up at Elizabeth.

"I think they want us to kiss."

"Well that is one thing I have no problem with," he said, softly.

Liz leaned over and Jason kissed her deeply until Jake's voice rang out in the crowd yelling, "Ewww," which Faith, Danny, and Cam immediately duplicated.

Liz laughed. Music filtered through the air and Victor walked up to Elizabeth. "May I have this dance?"

She smiled. "Of course."

They danced and Nikki slipped beside Jason. "I'd ask you to dance..."

Jason smiled. "Thank you for helping with kids."

"It was my pleasure. We're going to watch a movie tonight."

"That sounds like fun. I wish I could be there."

"You'll be home soon enough."

He watched Elizabeth dance with Johnny before Victor came back and danced with his wife. She looked like she was having a blast. Nikolas walked up to him. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm okay."

"Liar."

Jason was getting tired. Piph saw the look on his face and gave him some more pain meds.

Michael asked Abbie to dance and she said yes.

"So, I'm here for another day. Is there anything fun to do in this town?"

Michael shrugged. "I can take you to a club if you want."

She smiled. "I would love that actually." She thought Michael was really cute. "So, what do you do for a living Michael?"

"I run ELQ."

She was impressed. "Wow."

"AJ Quartermaine is my father. It was recently taken over so we got it back and hopefully, I can turn things around."

She smiled. "Well, I'm sure that you're very good at what you do."

"I'm still learning, but I really love it. What do you do?"

"I work at Jabot. It's challenging and I get to work with my family."

Michael smiled. "Sounds good."

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Elizabeth walked over to Jason after dancing with Stitch. He was talking to Victoria who brushed her hand over his forehead.

"Are you alright?"

Jason nodded, not wanting to mess up her good time.

"I think he needs to go lay down," Victoria said.

Elizabeth waved Patrick over.

"What's going on?"

"Jason isn't feeling well."

Patrick nodded and waved Johnny over.

"You should stay."

"Not without you."

"Please. Take some more pictures with everyone. They'll have to get me changed and settled anyway."

"Alright, but I won't be long," she said before kissing his forehead.

Johnny pushed him away and she watched him leave the room. Dylan came up behind her.

"He's going to be fine."

She turned around. "I hope this wasn't too much for him."

"He's tired, but I guarantee you that he's not sorry for coming here and marrying you."

She nodded.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Johnny pushed Jason into his room and he grinned when he saw the bed. It was large and Liz would be able to lay comfortably next to him.

"I know you're not up for making out, but I figured you could at least snuggle with your wife on your wedding night," Patrick said.

Jason smiled. "Thank you."

It took them a while to get him back in the gown, and by the time that they did, Jason was exhausted.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

In the room next door, Georgie unzipped Elizabeth's dress and handed her some white silk pajamas.

Liz frowned. "What are these for?"

"Just put them on."

Liz slipped into them and then took her hair down.

"I'll take care of your dress. You go to the room."

She smiled and went next door and grinned when she saw the bed. Jason's eyes were closed so she quietly made her way to the bed and then climbed into it. Jason murmured something and pulled her into him. She watched him sleep and then surprisingly, fell asleep herself.

IiIiIiIiIiIiIiIiIi

Three Days Later

Jake cheered as his dad slowly walked into the house. They had a motorized wheel chair set up and he sat down in it.

"Daddy," Danny yelled.

Jason smiled. "Hey Danny."

Nikki picked him up and placed him on Jason's lap and Danny gave him a gentle hug.

"Sam dropped him off. She'll pick him up later."

Jake handed him a card they had colored and Jason took a look at it.

They all moved into the living room and the kids took off after they had hugged Jason.

"It's good to be home," Jason said, smiling.

Liz kissed him on the head and Danny came running into the room holding a race car.

"Daddy up!" he said.

Jason smiled as Liz put Danny on his lap. "What's that?"

"Patrick."

He looked over at Liz. "Is Patrick trying to bribe my son?"

Liz grinned. "He's taking him for the day on Sunday to watch Nascar." Patrick missed Danny and didn't want him to feel like he didn't want to be around him.

Jason nodded. "I think that's good. Danny has lots of people who love him."

"He does."

Danny flipped a switched and the car revved loudly making him giggle. Jason chuckled.

Jake ran into the room. "Daddy, Cam won't come in the house."

Jason frowned. "Where is he?"

"In the driveway. He got the mail."

Liz walked over to the window. Cam was standing in the driveway with mail littered around his feet and Liz could tell that he was crying. "Shit."

She took off with Dylan following close behind her.

"Cam, what's wrong?"

Cam looked up at his mom. He was shaking and she knelt down in front of him while Dylan picked up the discarded mail. Slowly, Cam handed her the letter.

Liz gasped. It was from Lucky.

Dear Cam,

I asked my lawyer to give you this if anything happened to me. I knew your mother since high school and I helped her when she was raped. I loved her with everything I had. She stomped all over my heart when she cheated on me with Jason and then lied and said I was the father. When the truth came out, she didn't even think that Jason was fit to be a dad, but she trusted me to be a good father to him. Then she cheated on me with my brother. I left because my heart was broken. She said she wanted to marry me and I believed her. I'm not the bad guy Cam. I'm just a man who was lied to over and over. I loved you and always thought of you as my son. Don't believe all the lies. Jason will bring nothing but pain to you and Jake; a son he never wanted or fought for. One of his enemies will hurt you. I pray that when you get older that you will never find a woman who is like your mother; that will destroy you like she did me. Please be careful and watch your back and remember, Lulu will always be there for you if you need help. I asked her to watch out for you. Be safe son.

Love Always,

Your true father, Lucky

Liz let out a heartbreaking sob as she pounded on the ground with her fists until Dylan pulled her up. "Elizabeth…" She hated Lucky and couldn't believe that he would hurt Cam like this.

"Mom, you're bleeding," Cam said, looking at her hands.

Liz looked down at her hands and then back at her son and tried to pull it together, "I'm so sorry."
