Chapter 11

Two Months Later, Morgan Residence

Elizabeth is thinking of all the ways she is going to kill her firstborn. She found an open box of condoms it was a six-pack and three were missing. She went into his room while he was at school and could not find her engagement ring. She is thankful for older children a nanny and her husband helping her but she was bored and decided to clean up. Thankfully her cleans are pretty tidy but Cameron was her messiest child. He must get that from Zander just like hiding a box of condoms in his room under his bed. He did not get that from her. The twins are with Jason and he is visiting his mother. She opened a bottle of wine and was a little tipsy. She can get drunk because her babies are bottle-fed this go round so she does not feel guilty. about this. Cam is the first to get dropped off by the nanny since the high schoolers let out early which means she has 1 hour to yell at him and ground him. Cameron walks into the kitchen grabs a snack and says " Hey Mom, how was your day?" Elizabeth calmly says " Cameron Steven Morgan. I am going to ask you a question and if you do not tell me the truth I will take away your car and if you lie again I will take away all of your electronics, are we clear?" Cam gulps and says " Yes mother." Elizabeth says " Good answer. I was cleaning up your room and by the way, your eleven year old brother and nine-year-old sister keep their rooms cleaner than yours. The only reason we do not have a maid is because my children will not be spoiled brats, but that is a topic for another day. Now I found this under your bed and I want to know her name and address because I am going to be speaking to her parents please do not tell me it is Carly's daughter because she is tolerable but Carly is a problem I do not want to deal with today or for the next eighteen years." Cameron says " Mom I promise you those are not mine and I am still a virgin and I may like Josslyn but we are just friends." Elizabeth says " They did not just magically appear Cameron I want you to go to your room and rethink your answer. I will come back up there with your father. Take your snack and go." He goes quietly and she thinks fucking Zander Junior is being implusive. She hears Jason come in and one of the guards helps him carry the babies. He comes to him and says " Good afternoon, it is time for their nap, can you help me put them down?" She says " Sure and then we can talk about your son Cameron and the trouble he is going to be in." Jason nods and they put the babies to sleep. They turn on the monitors and they make their way to the basement in case she needs to yell. Jason sits down and she sits on his lap and he rubs her back and waits: " I found a box of condoms in Cam's room and he used three of them and left them under his bed all this time. I swear he gets his messiness and impulsiveness from Zander." Jason stops rubbing her back and he thinks back and thinks fuck how did the condoms get there. They were drunk but aware and shit it was three times. He is in so much trouble. He was going to tell but then she was pregnant and he wanted her to be stress-free and now he might lose his family because he kept this secret. Jason says " Elizabeth I want you to know that I love you so much but those condoms are not Cameron's they were mine." Elizabeth gets up calmly and looks at him " I did not just hear what I think I just heard. Because what I heard was that my husband had condoms and somehow that ended up in our son's room." Jason says " It was a mistake and it will never happen again." Elizabeth says " Jason fucking Morgan who the fuck did you cheat on me with because I am going to kick her ass after I kick yours. You fuck a slut in our fucking home where our kids sleep." Jason says " I did not have sex in Cam's room or any of our kid's rooms. It happened when you were ignoring me for those two weeks and I thought you had chosen Franco and I needed some comfort." She replies " Is that supposed to make me feel better than you did not technically cheat only that you fucked her under this roof and kept it from me. You should have told me and I would have been hurt but I would have understood and got over it. Who is the bitch you fucked Jason I will not ask again." Jason says " It was Sam." Elizabeth says " Are you kidding me? Sam, you could have fucked anyone else but you screwed a woman I hate in our home and it was three times. Once is a mistake but three times is a choice. Is this pattern with you screwing your brother's woman? You did it AJ and now Drew. Oh my gosh I let have unprotected sex with after her." Jason says " I am so sorry I got tested and I used protection so I am clean." Elizabeth says " I hope you took 100 fucking showers before you touched again. Oh my gosh, and she just had a baby and who knows what the father is and it is not like you take a paternity test because you two are identical fucking twins. Our children will never know if that is their brother or cousin and I will never know if it is my nephew or stepson." She screams and throws a glass against the wall. She says " You claim to not still love her and had me convinced but you have no memories of loving her yet you still fucked her and she may have had your baby. Why did I keep letting you do this to me?

I keep letting you in and you keep breaking my heart and my trust. I know I have made my share of my mistakes but I have loved longer and more than I have loved anyone. I trusted you with my heart, my soul, my body, and my children. It has been eighteen years Jason, why can't you let me in?" Jason says " I know I am a coward and I have been selfish but I am begging please do not give up on me and our family. I know I have hurt you. In the past I have chosen to believe other people over you or not take a risk on us because I was an idiot. I know I am a bad person and I know I do not deserve your forgiveness or your love but I am nothing with you. Don't you get when we are not together I do dumb shit and I make terrible choices. The best thing I have done was walk into that bar at Jake's looking for trouble but I found you. I could not love when we first met because you were only seventeen and here I was this twenty-five-year-old guy with the emotions of a child but I recognized a kindred spirit in you. You are my eternal love that is the perfect word to describe us. We are everlasting, timeless, existing at all times, and having an infinite duration. I will do whatever it takes to get you to trust in me and us again." Elizabeth says " Fuck Jason why do I love you so damn much no matter how hard I tried I can never stop. Not with Lucky, Ric, AJ, or Franco it has always been you. You are ingrained in my soul and my entire being and I could never love anyone the way I love you. It is impossible. So here is what is going to happen. You will use all of your resources to figure out if that child is yours because I need to know and our children need to know. Hell even Drew needs to know. We are going to sit down like fucking adults and have this conversation. Once we find out then we can plan on how we tell our children if they have a new brother or if he remains their cousin. Either way does not determine if I leave you. What determines that is if you have any more secrets I need to know about. I am not referring to business but other secrets that pertain to us because I swear to you Jason this is the last time I let you do this to me. You are on a very long time out which means you sleep in one of the guest rooms." Before Jason can respond Cameron comes rushing out of the elevator: " Mom and Dad I just got off the phone with Josslyn because her mom couldn't reach Jason and Grandma Monica couldn't reach him either." Elizabeth says " Breath sweetie what is wrong?" Cameron looks at Jason " I am so sorry Dad but Micheal is dead." Elizabeth gasps and Jason remains frozen. Elizabeth says " Cameron go check on the twins and then we will wait for Jake and Elena to get home and go over to Grandma Monica's to check on her." Cameron says " Okay Mom and Dad I am here if need be." Jason nods and Cameron takes off. Elizabeth says " Jason can you look at me, baby?" Jason shakes his head and Elizabeth says " We are going to get through. We love you and we are here for you." Elizabeth goes over and hugs him tightly and whispers in his ear sweet words he does not deserve. He did this is all he can think and he has no regrets.
