Bobbie's Diner, March 2025
" What is that look for Aiden?" Elizabeth said. " Mom I can read you remember so spill it," he said. " I have no idea what you are talking about mister." She says as their food is delivered. " Yummy I have been craving a bacon burger with Swiss and American cheese with relish and pickles." She said. " Do not forget you ordered a vanilla and strawberry milkshake and are dipping your fires in it," Aiden says as he takes a bite of pepperoni and bacon pizza. " Have you talked to Jake about my eating habits I swear Aiden I will withhold my brownies from you that I was plan making tonight," Elizabeth said. " Come on Mom that is not fair punishment," Aiden says as he pouts. " That pout may work on your Grandma Monica and your Dad but not me. " I know all of your tricks too." She says as dips her french fry in her milkshake.
" How is that edible Elizabeth?" Carly as she walks in and invites herself to their table. " I would think as a mother who had of fair share you would be on my side. No respect I tell ya. I will not be shamed, Spencer." Elizabeth said. " I plead the fifth," Carly says. " What learned that from your bestie or ex-husband?" Elizabeth says as she smirks. " I am starting to remember just how smart your mouth is and they say you are the nice one," Carly said. " I once told you I was nobody's angel Carlybabes. So how can we help you on this fine day?" Elizabeth said.
" Well, Jason may have let it slip that you two have come with names but he won't tell me so I am here to harass you about it," Carly said. " Jason does not let anything slip so how did you get that information out of him," Elizabeth says as she arches her eyebrow. " Okay Okay I was checking on the kids at the Q's and he was talking to Monica and said that you guys came up with names to honor the Q's but said you are waiting until your baby shower to announce it," Carly said. " Oh, so that is what you are hiding Mom. I know you were up to something." Aiden said.
" There are both of your answers then. You can wait until next month to get your answers and there is nothing you can say to extract that information out of me." Elizabeth said. " If you can blackmail me I can blackmail you Mom if you do not tell me," Aiden says with a smug look on his face. Before she can retort she can see Carly roll her eyes which means annoying ex number 2 is here. " I see criminal behavior runs in the family. Starting young." Ric says. Oh boy, she sees one of the guards approach while the other calls Jason. She motions she is ok but it is too late Jason is on his way.
" I would not talk about criminal behavior if I were you, Ric. Staying at any place with a panic room." Carly said. Elizabeth snorts but remembers Aiden is there. Hopefully, he does not research or ask any questions about that. " Ric do not speak ill of Jason in front of his children and I would advise you to leave before he gets here," Elizabeth said. " Ric I think we need to discuss boundaries and respecting them," Jason said. Damn, he was fast where was he. " Are you threatening me, Morgan?" Ric taunts. " I think your old age is getting to you Ric because that is not what I said. I would never do such a thing, especially in front of family. But we do need to talk and we can set up a meeting at the place of your choosing so you can feel safe Ricky boy." Jason said. " I will be in touch Morgan," Ric says as he leaves.
" Are you guys alright?" Jason said. " We are fine. We can leave now I am sleepy and I am nice and full." Elizabeth said. " I will leave you guys to it and I will extract that information out of you sooner or later, Elizabeth," Carly says as she leaves. " Do not even bother let's go home," Elizabeth said. After she wakes up from her nap she strolls around looking for her family. Danny and Scout are over and are spending the night. Rocco is spending time with his mom and Dante. She finds them in the living room and Jason looks pissed. " What is going on here?" Elizabeth said. " Aiden was curious about the comment that Carly made and I will be having a chat with her after this trust me." She thinks oh boy she knows where this going.
" So Aiden roped Danny into finding out what that meant and had Scout be the lookout. They found out what he did to you and Carly and were so angry they were going sneak out and confront him with baseball bats." Jason said. Aiden jumps up and says " It is want he would have deserved and how could you Mom go back to him after what he did to you and Carly? What is with you and bad men? Franco, Ric, Lucky. " Do not talk to your mother like that. She is not the issue here you and your brother are. You are children and violence is not the answer. " Please you are one to talk you beat up Uncle Drew the same week of Mom's funeral. Must be genetic." Danny said.
" It is not genetic and there is no excuse for what I did. It felt right in the moment but you should not follow my example. I want better for all of my kids and Scout." Jason said. " Do you regret what you did?" Aiden said. " I will not lie to you but no I do not but it was still not the right thing," Jason said. " You know it makes sense why you won't regret it because it was for Micheal. After all, he is your true firstborn son, not Jake. Don't look so shocked someone decided to inform us of the truth unlike you two. How does feel Dad about protecting the son who covered up Jake's hit-and-run when he thought Carly did it? It would not surprise me if you knew because if you did you are no better than Lucky. You knocked up my mother but loved and protected him. I hate you." Aiden storms off and Danny shakes his head and takes Scout to follow his brother.
" Don't just don't I cannot deal with this or you right now," Elizabeth says as she follows after the children. No that cannot be true, can it? He would not do that to him. But unfortunately, he followed his parents and his example back then. Guess prison taught him nothing. The question is where did they get the information from and who is trying to tear his family apart? Fuck how can they come back from this?
