This is just my verison of what could have happened if Jason had told Lucky that he was Jake's father before Elizabeth woke up. I do not own these characters, just want to see what others my think of my version.
Chapter 1
"Elizabeth. Elizabeth, you have to wake up. The doctors are saying it would be best if our son went home. You told me to do what is best for our son. So you need to wake up, or I'm going to have to tell everyone..."
He couldn't believe this was happening. He had gotten Elizabeth to the hospital, so how did this happen? Now it was coming down to the truth…the truth that he had promised Elizabeth not to expose.
"Jason, this is your baby…."
He recalls hearing those words for the first time while trapped inside an elevator of the Metro Court. There had been a group of men trying to get a case out of the vault, and everyone he loved had been trapped in the hotel. Spinelle had helped him get inside, and he had been able to get Sam out and grab Elizabeth just in time. He remembers how shocking this statement had been at the time. Five little words making him a father. Of course he had told Elizabeth he would marry her, but she refused saying that he was still in love with Sam and she had Lucky. Elizabeth was always worrying about others and not putting herself first. They were going to tell the truth when they got out, but they couldn't hurt the ones we were with. Sam had just found out she couldn't have children, and Elizabeth was afraid Lucky would turn back to pills….so instead, the truth stayed hidden.
There was a really bad storm going on in Port Charles that night. He had decided to check on her because the baby's due date was really close. She didn't answer the door when he knocked. When he opened the door, she was on the floor. This couldn't be happening. He rushed her to the hospital and they got the baby out just in time. Elizabeth had been awake for a short time. He had been able to hold his son for the first time. Then Elizabeth started to bleed out, and now she wasn't waking up. She had made him promise just a few days before that if something ever happened to her, he had to do what was best for the baby….their baby.
"Elizabeth, come on. Wake up. Our son needs his mother. He is perfect. You promised you would always be there for him. Please wake up. He both needs you."
"What are you doing here?" asked Lucky, walking in holding the baby.
"Just talking with Elizabeth…telling her she needs to wake up for the baby. Lucky, the doctors are saying that it will be best for the baby to go home. They aren't sure how long it will be before Elizabeth wakes up."
"Why are you getting involved? This is Elizabeth's and my child…not yours. I make the decisions, not you."
"Lucky, we are talking about what's best for the baby. You know that Elizabeth would want to do what is best for her child, and it's my obligation to due what's best for the baby. You need to take him home if that's what the doctors think would be best."
"Jason, you need to leave. You don't get a say here. I know your Elizabeth's friend, but I think she'll wake up faster if the baby is near. That's why I brought him here. Now move." He walks over to Elizabeth, holding the baby next to her. "Elizabeth, he's here. Our perfect son that you gave us is here. He needs you Elizabeth. He needs his mom. Plus you get to choose the name…remember our deal. So wake up. Name our baby boy."
"Lucky, listen to me, talk with the doctors. Do what is best for the baby, or I will."
"You don't get a say in this, Jason. You are not the father…I am."
"Lucky, that's where you're wrong. I promised Elizabeth that I would do what is best for this baby, because I'm the father."
"No you're not. I am. You're just saying this to push me. Well no more. Get out. Get away from my wife….my family!"
"Lucky, I know this is hard, but the baby is mine. Elizabeth and I didn't want to hurt anyone, so we decided to keep it between us. But she had me promise that if something were to happen, I was to come forward and do what was best for our child. Now, I'm going to keep that promise. The doctors say it's best for the baby to go home because they aren't sure when or if Elizabeth is going to wake up."
"No. There's no way. Elizabeth would have told me. I went to rehab for her and the baby. She married me again. There's no way. You just…oh my god. That's why you've been hanging around so much. You were having an affair with my wife…in my house. How could you?'
Lulu ran in the room after hearing the shouting. "Lucky, give me the baby. You are going to upset the baby." Lulu laid the baby in the bed and rang for the nurse.
"Lulu, do you hear him. He said the baby is his…apparently Elizabeth and him were having an affair behind my back, behind everyone's back. How did I not see this?"
"Lucky, it wasn't like that. It was one night. Elizabeth did a paternity test. She just told me a couple of months ago. But I will do what is best for my son, and the doctors say to take him home."
Lucky stated at Jason in complete disbelief. "Lulu, do you hear this guy. There is no way he is taking my son. I don't believe it's yours."
Lulu grabbed Lucky's arm. Lucky shook her off. "Lucky, you need to calm down. There is no reason to act crazy. Let's go for a walk…calm down. Then talk about this."
Kelly and the nurse walk in the room. "What's going on here? My patient does not need this. If you can not keep it down, you need to leave. Elizabeth needs rest to get stronger."
"Kelly, you were Elizabeth's doctor. Did you do a paternity test on my son?"
"Lucky, patient files are confidential. You know that."
"But this is my wife. I need to know the truth. Did you do a paternity test on my son?"
"Lucky, don't do this to yourself. Not here, not now. Let's go for a walk and talk." Lulu grabbed Lucky's arm and walked with him into the hall.
Kelly, Jason, and the nurse with the baby followed. Kelly looked to the nurse and said, "Can you please take the baby back to the maternity ward? We need to get a few things straight here."
"Listen Kelly, Elizabeth told me the results of the test. I knew she was doing one. She told me that the baby is mine. Now what do I need to do get this straight. Elizabeth wants me to do what is best for the baby, and his doctors are saying he needs to go home."
Lucky shoves Jason away from Kelly. "Kelly, don't listen to him. Unless there is proof, he will not touch my child. If he does, I'll have him arrested for attempted kidnapping."
Lulu grabs Lucky's arm again and tries to steer him away. "Lucky, you need to listen to me. We need to leave and talk about this. Please don't do anything you will regret."
"Lulu, you can't tell me you believe this…this…there's just no way. Elizabeth would have told me something." He looks at his sister. "You believe me, right? Not Jason. Lulu, please…you're family."
Lulu looked at Lucky knowing she was going to break her brother's heart. "Lucky, I've known for a while now. Elizabeth said she couldn't say anything because she was afraid you would turn back to the pills. You kept saying you had gotten straight for Elizabeth and the baby, and you looked so happy. How could anyone tell you anything different?"
Lucky backed away and looked at his sister, and then Jason. His wife and his sister had kept something this huge from him, something that could change his life. How could they do this to him….his own family?
"Lucky, do you need to talk with someone… Lainey perhaps?" asked Kelly. She was going to do what ever she could tot keep her patient safe. She did not want Elizabeth to have to hear that something horrible happened because of this. She knew how upset she was already about the fact that Lucky was possible going to find out one day that the baby wasn't his.
Lucky just turned away. "Lulu, how could you of all people keep this from me? Are you that devoted to Jason now too…to turn on your own brother?" He looked to Jason. "And as for you, you are going to regret the day you messed with my wife." Lucky looked at Elizabeth once more, and then left.
Kelly looked at Jason. "Are you sure about this? Are you ready for this?"
"He's my son. I'm going to do what's best for him. What do I need to do to get the paperwork straight to take him home? I need to know about how long it's going to take, and I will take care of whatever I need to get. If I need my lawyer down here for the paperwork to be completed for me, I'll call her."
Kelly looked at Elizabeth, wondering what her friend would think about what has happened. She looked back to Jason. "Okay, let me pull those results. Elizabeth told me that if something happened, I was to let you make decisions for the baby since you were the biological father. You might want your lawyer to go ahead and file paperwork for emergency guardianship. I'll provide you with the results to get the ball rolling. Do you have what you need to take care of a newborn at home?"
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything. Just get me a list of what I need."
"Okay, but you might want to watch out for Lucky."
"He's not going to be a problem."
Jason turned to Lulu. "I'm sorry it had to come out like this, but he's my son."
"I know. I just wish I knew what my brother was going to do. I better call Nicholas. He knows about you and Elizabeth. I better give him the heads up on Lucky so he can help find him…I don't think Lucky is going to let me help him anytime soon. Do you need any help with the baby?"
Jason shook his head. "We'll be fine. You have already done enough to your family by keeping the secret for this long. Now, I need to go take care of my son."
My son. He could now step up and be there for his own son. No one could take him away. Jason walked around to the nursery and looked in on him. He was perfect. Now he just needed him safe. Jason took one last look and picked up him phone. He had some things to take care of. First, he'd call Diane to get the paperwork filed, then Sonny to have the extra protection on hand. Nothing was going to happen to his family. Also, he needed to have a talk with Sam…things were going to be a little different from now on.
Lucky made it to the docks before breaking down. His wife and family had lied to him. Everything over the past few months had been lies. He bet everyone knew the truth…everyone but him. How could his own family do this to him? He looked out at the water. And worst of all, it had been with Jason. Everyone thought Jason was just perfect…guess they forgot he was a gangster. Jason was going to regret he had ever touched his family. Now to just get something that was Jason's. But first, he needed a fix…something to make the pain go away. He walked down towards the end of the piers.
Lucky looked up to see a kid straighten his jacket…did he just see some bags. "Hey kid…got anything for a painful back? I just need a little something."
"Mister, you must think I'm crazy. I don't have anything for any one. Plus, I've seen you around here be for. You're a cop."
"Yeah, well I've seen you too, and you can either provide me with something, or I can take you in because I already saw what's on the inside of your jacket."
"Alright, alright…here. Just leave me alone. Take it."
How lucky was he…to have this kid giving him just what he wanted. Now, couple of pills, a drink, then….
"Lucky, is that you? What are you doing here?"
Lucky turned around. Wow…what his luck. It was Sam. "Guess you heard about what happened? I just couldn't take it. I had to get away."
"Lucky, what are you talking about? Why are you here?"
"You mean you haven't heard the news. Jason's a daddy to what was supposed to be my son. Elizabeth and my family have been lying to me for months. And now that mobster is my son's father."
"What do you mean…Jason's not the father? He told me he wasn't. How could this have happened? When did you find out? I can't believe this…he lied. He said they were just friends…that nothing was going on. Why did he lie?"
"I was just told…guess they've been going behind our backs for months. I cleaned myself up for this child, loved him, married his mother, and was ready to provide for him. How could it not be mine? I didn't even know they had been together. Elizabeth kept saying they were just friends. And on top of that, Lulu, my own sister, knew and didn't even say anything."
"I knew they had been together…it was the night of the blackout. But I wasn't sure if you should know or not. It had been hard enough for me to find out…plus you went to rehab and Jason made me promise. How could he keep something like this from me? How could she have his child? That's all I've wanted for months…and now she's given it to him. This can't be happening. Not now…we were just starting to get back on track."
"Sorry to be the bearer of bad news…try finding out while holding the child you thought was yours."
"Lucky, I am so sorry. I should have told you before. I wanted to, but Jason wouldn't let me. Plus, I thought if you found out, you might leave Elizabeth, and I would have lost Jason for sure. I know that was selfish of me, but….I can't believe he didn't tell me himself."
Sam wondered if he believed her…if this was going to work. It was only pure luck that he already knew. She had been wondering how to bring this secret out, and here the truth had fallen into his lap without her having to look like the bad guy. Jason and Elizabeth were going to pay. And how better to do that then take Lucky from Elizabeth and then her and Lucky take the baby that should have been hers…not Elizabeth's. Jason didn't know, but she had over heard him talking with Elizabeth at the docks one day. She knew the baby was his. He had already told her that he would have married Elizabeth to help take care of the baby, but she had turned him down. She had also heard him say he would respect her decision about the baby. She knew he wouldn't take Elizabeth's child, even if the baby was his. Elizabeth was free now…Lucky knew the truth. Jason would probably drop her, and take Elizabeth as his own. But they were not going to get that baby, she would. Then Jason would probably be running back to her once she was through with Elizabeth. Elizabeth was going to lose everything.
"Lucky…I don't know what to do. I don't understand why Jason's not telling me this himself. I guess he's not over her…not over what happened between us." She sat staring out at the water. "I don't know about you, but I could use a drink. Why don't you come with me to get my stuff, and we can get a drink. I'm not sure where I'm going to go next. Guess we both have a lot to get straight."
She helped Lucky up. He kind of stumbled, but then righted himself. "Are you okay?"
"Do you think I'm okay?"
"Okay…okay. Stupid question. Let's go get that drink."
They walked into the pent house and looked around.
"Well, I guess I'll go get a couple of things for the night. I'll come get the rest later. I'm going to have to talk with Jason anyways. I can't believe this. He still hasn't called me. How can he do this? How can he just drop everything for her and not think about her? You want that drink now?" She walked over and grabbed the vodka from the stand. She opened it and drink until she couldn't take it any more, then handed it to Lucky.
He took a drink, and then glanced around. "Well, where are you going to live after living in this place that equals up to the charm?"
"I'm not quite sure…but I'm sure I'll find something. I am working now. Everyday Hero is going great…so I should be able to find something. Hey, why don't you bring that drink up stairs so I can grab a couple of things? I can't stay here tonight…I need to clear my head." They walked upstairs to Jason's room. "I can't believe I just moved back in. I should have waited…should have known something was going on when he was reluctant to have a child with me. Just didn't think it was because of her. He kept saying it was about the business. Here…let me have some of that."
She stepped close to him…almost touching. "So, what are you going to do?"
He placed a hand on her side to kind of steady himself. "Tonight I am going to forget about them…get myself drunk and pass out I guess. I'll try to start figuring out something tomorrow. Too much has happened today."
She leaned into him and set the drink down on the bedside table. "You know. They were here when that night happened. They claim it was just comfort that they needed. Do you think they broke our hearts in this room?"
Lucky glanced around. Suddenly all he could see was Jason and Elizabeth…over in the corner, in the bed, on the way to the bathroom. He looked at Sam. "Do you really think he would have done that to you?"
Lucky knew what he was going to do. Jason took Elizabeth…he was going to take Sam. It was only fair…right?!
Lucky leaned in until his lips were almost of Sam's. "I am going to kiss you now…we need a little comfort too…right." And he kissed her.
"Sonny, we need to talk. It's about Elizabeth. She had the baby, and there were complications. They aren't sure if she is going to wake up."
"Okay, but that's Lucky's problem, right. I've got something I need you to check into. I got a tip about Alcazar. I need you to start checking into it."
"Sonny, listen. I have to take care of this. I promised Elizabeth I would do what was best for the baby if anything happened, because the baby is…mine, not Lucky's."
Sonny sat down behind his desk and stared at his friend. "But I thought it was Lucky's…when did you find this out?"
"A few months ago…I should have said something, but we had decided to let her raise the baby with Lucky. At the time I found out, Sam had just found out she couldn't have kids because of me, and I couldn't hurt her like this, and she didn't want to hurt Lucky. But now, they don't know if she's going to wake up, and she made me promise I would do what was best for the baby. The doctors think the baby should go ahead and go home. I'm taking the baby home today, but I need your help. I'm going to need some time to get everything straight, and I'm going to need extra protection at my home and someone on Elizabeth's room. Lucky was pretty upset, and I don't want anything to happen to her."
"But what about you? Why didn't you just tell me? We could have already had this worked out. What are you going to do about the baby and Sam? Sam's going to go nuts?"
"My baby and his mother come first. She is just going to have to understand. I've got to protect them. This is my child, Sonny. My son. What would you do in my situation? I'm going to the pent house to talk with her now, plus I need to get some things straight before I bring him home. Do you think Leticia could help out for a couple of days…until Elizabeth wakes up?"
"Sure…but that means you have to tell Carly, and you know how she feels about Elizabeth. If you are ready to face that battle, then by all means, ask Leticia for help. Your family does have to come first. Just watch out for Sam. Something tells me she's not going to do to well with this…I mean the last time you pushed her away, she slept with Ric of all people."
"I know…I think I might see if Emily can help before I battle Carly right now. I'll let you know."
"Okay…I'll send someone to watch Elizabeth, and I'll send a couple of guys over to the pent house. If it gets to crazy, I guess you and the baby could stay at the house for a couple of days. At least you know it's secure."
"No…thanks but I want to get my son settled for now. Let him know someone's there for him."
"That's fine…but what happens when his mother wakes up…if she does."
"I'll think about that after my son is safe. I'll talk with you soon."
Sonny shook his head as he watched him leave. Jason…a father. Carly was not going to be happy.
Jason arrived home and began to look for Sam.
"Sam. Sam, I need to talk with you."
He ran up the stairs. The bathroom was empty…maybe she was in their room. He walked in and flipped on the light.
"Sam, I need to talk with you. This is important…" He looked at the bed. What was this? Sam and….Lucky. "What is this? What are you doing in my bed?"
He picked Lucky and tossed him out of the bed. "What did this do? Did it make you feel any better? And you…" pointing at Sam "…you can get out and never come back. I was coming to tell you about my son, and you are in the bed with him. Doesn't take you long does it? I'll send all your stuff to you later…just get out and away from my home." He looked back at Lucky who was stumbling around, "Are you drunk or back on pills?" He dug through Lucky's jacket and pulled out the bag. "You will never be near Elizabeth and her children again. Do you hear me…never! If I see you anywhere near them, you will be dead. Get out of my house."
Jason turned and walked out of the room. He picked up his phone and dialed…"Sonny, I need your pent house until I can get the stench of Sam out of this one. I will not bring my family here until everything she's touched is gone."
"That's fine…what ever you need. What happen? She didn't like the news."
"Try she was already with bed with Lucky before getting the news from me. Good riddance."
Jason arrived back at the hospital. He had a delivery service sending everything he would need to the penthouse. Now he just had to find Emily. At the nurse station, they had said she was going to visit Elizabeth before going home. He walked into Elizabeth's room and saw her sitting by her bed.
She walked out of Elizabeth's room when she saw him. She looked at him and said, "You know she's going to be okay, right. There is no way she would leave her beautiful son behind…plus she's going to want to raise him with his father, isn't that right, Jase?"
"So you know already…I had wanted to tell you myself."
"Sorry, Kelly told me earlier about the situation. Plus, I've just knew he had tot be yours. I mean, have you seen him. He looks just like you. Plus, I've always known you and Elizabeth were meant to be…now there's nothing holding you back, right?"
"But what about what Elizabeth thinks….wait. Don't do this to me. I have to concentrate on my son and making sure his mother is going to be okay before going any further. Speaking of which, I was wondering if you could help me out for a couple of days with my son until we can see what is happening with Elizabeth. I don't think she is going to want a nanny taking care of her kids."
"It would be my pleasure. You might not have to wait long, because her vitals are starting to look better. Have you told mom yet?"
"No, but I will. Em…did you hear about this morning?"
"Yes…Kelly filled me in. Most of the hospital seems to know now because Diane was up here waving papers around…plus there's a guard outside of Elizabeth's room that doesn't let anyone but doctors or nurses in."
"Em…there's more to it now. I just caught Sam and Lucky in bed together. I told him that he better not ever come near Elizabeth again. Em, he's back on pills."
"Oh…Elizabeth was afraid of that. That's why she never told Lucky about the night." She gave him a hug. "Don't worry. Everything will work out just find…plus now my two favorite people can be together. With their son…what could be better than that?"
"Em, do you mind if I have a moment alone with Elizabeth. I'm going to take my son home soon, and I want her to hear a little of what's going on."
"Absolutely. I am going to see my new little nephew and get my things together so I can leave with you guys. Plus, I'm going to get mom. She needs to know."
"Thanks Em." He gave her a hug and walked in to see Elizabeth.
He sat next to her and gently held her hand. "Elizabeth, Lucky knows. I'm sorry, but the doctors want our son to go home. They said that would be best for him. I'm keeping the promise. I will take him home until you get better, and then we'll raise him together. Em is going to help for now. There's more…but I'll explain later. Elizabeth, you need to wake up. Our son needs his mother. You should see him. He's perfect. Ten perfect little fingers and toes, a your nose, and the cutest little mouth. Elizabeth, please wake up."
He sat her hand down gently. He traced her face with his finger tips. "I'll be back tomorrow."
Jason left the room, just missing the movement of her fingers.
Monica was just getting to Elizabeth Spencer's room when she saw Jason step out. "Jason, Emily said I should speak with you. Is there a problem?" Monica was the hospital's head of cardiology and Jason's mom. She has just arrived at the hospital when Emily had asked her to stop by Elizabeth's room.
"Monica. There is something. I was going to tell you later…but why don't you walk with me down to the nursery." Jason began walking down the hall, trying to figure out how to tell his mom the truth.
Monica followed her son while wondering what he needed. Jason did not usually ask her for anything. She usually only spoke to him during the tragic situations…not just on a regular basis. She wondered if something was wrong with Michael. "Jason, is something wrong?"
Jason stopped and stared at his mother. She had always been just slightly more accepting of him compared to the rest of the Quartermaines. Also, she deserved some happiness…considering she lost her husband, his father, just a few months before due to the Metro Hotel crisis. "Monica, just come with me. There's something important I need to tell you, and I want you to hear this from me."
They walked until they were at the hospital nursery. Jason looked in the window. There he was, his son. "Monica, can you come into the nursery with me for a minute."
Monica could not understand what had come over Jason. Something was going on…and why we they at the nursery in front of the Spencer boy.
Jason asked the nurse, "Can I hold him for a second?"
"Sure, Mr. Morgan."
Jason picked up his son and turned to Monica. "Monica, I'd like to introduce you to this little boy…he's my son."
Monica could not believe her ears. This was impossible…right. But she could see it in Jason's face. There was love there. Love for this precious little boy…her grandson. "Jason, what is this? What happened? I have a grandson."
"I'm sorry about telling you this way, but I wanted you to know. Plus, half the hospital seems to know at the moment, and I thought you should hear this from me, well Emily thought you should hear this from me. Elizabeth hasn't woken up, and the doctors said he needs to go home. I'm taking my son home today."
"But Jason, why wasn't anything said before? Why now?"
"There were people we didn't want to hurt, but that's over. Meet your grandson."
Jason handed his son to Monica. She held him, and for the first time in what felt like forever, she smiled. She held out her finger, and the little boy grasped it for a second, then let go.
Monica stared at her son with tears in her eyes. "Jason, he's perfect. Thank you. You didn't have to share this, but thank you."
"I couldn't not tell you…not after losing Alan. Emily's going to help me take care of him for a few days. The doctors aren't sure when Elizabeth is going to wake up, and Elizabeth made me promise to do what is best for our son. We are going to be leaving shortly. I'm just glad you got here before we left."
"Jason, can I help you with anything?"
"Of course you can help with your new grandson if you've got any spare time. It's been a while since I had to take care of a baby."
"Oh Jason, I'll do anything…you just name it."
"I'm going to check with the doctors and then on Elizabeth one more time. Then we are going to leave. I'll be at the Sonny's old pent house for a couple of days, and then I'll be back in mine. Until Elizabeth wakes up, the baby will be with me. Once she wakes up, we'll go from there…whatever she thinks is best. Come by if you want to see him."
Monica stared at this perfect little boy. Jason had just given her the best gift, something she really needed. "Jason, have you named him?"
Jason shook his head. "That's Elizabeth's choice. I'll see you soon."
Jason left out of the nursery to check with the doctor. Monica held her grandson close.
"Elizabeth. Elizabeth, wake up please. It's Jason. I'm taking our son home now. I will be back to check on you tomorrow. I've told the doctors to call me as soon as you wake up so I can talk with you. Don't worry if you see a guard on the door. I'll be back…please get better for our son."
Jason stopped at the door before leaving and glanced at Elizabeth. This beautiful woman was the mother of his child. They could be a family, if that's what she wanted. He hoped so, because he wanted this woman and his child in his life. He even wanted to be there for her first son Cameron. Speaking of Cameron, he was going to have to speak with Audrey. He didn't think she was going to be happy with him. But she needed to know about Lucky so that Cameron didn't see what he was doing. He turned to the guard. "Call me if someone besides the doctors and nurses try to come in this room. Also, if anyone discusses any noticeable changes to Elizabeth."
"Yes sir, Mr. Morgan."
Jason walked back around to the nursery. Emily was there waiting on him. She looked up as he approached. "Are you ready to take that precious little boy home?"
Jason nodded his head and said, "Let's go." He picked up his son and they left.
Jason, holding the baby, and Emily came out of the elevator. Jason turned right.
"Um, Jase, isn't it the other way?" said Emily, pointing left.
"Come on Em. We need to talk. For a couple of days, we're going to be at Sonny's old place. My apartment is getting a cleaning, you could say." He opened the door to Sonny's pent house and looked around.
Spinelle jumped up from the couch. "Stone Cold, you brought the little prodigy home to nourish. Is the noble sister going to help?"
Jason sat the baby carrier down on the coffee table. He checked him to make sure he was okay, and then turned to Spinelle. "Have they started on the work at the pent house? And did the things I had ordered arrive yet?"
Spinelle nodded his head. "Everything is being corrected per Stone Cold's instructions. The goddess's things have been taken to the goddess's mother's home. Also, a plethora of boxes have been delivered at your humble abode."
Emily smiled and asked, "What's going on Jase? Why are a plethora of boxes being delivered to your place?"
Jason looked at Spinelle and said, "Can I trust you to go and pick up the food I ordered from Kelly's from Mike?"
Spinelle nodded his head and said, "I am your most humble servant. I will do your wishes." Spinelle walked to the door, but before leaving said, "I am truly pleased that Stone Cold decided to claim his prodigy."
All Emily could do was laugh once Spinelle left. "Okay Jase, you have to tell me what's going on, and we have to get the things this little guy needs. Do I need to run and get the things from Elizabeth and Lucky's place, or do you want new things?"
Jason looked at him son, then back at his sister. "Em…everything the baby needs should be next door. Kelly gave me a list of everything I should need. We just have to get it. I had it delivered today. Also, my penthouse is being redone at the moment…new furniture, beds, and stuff. Sam's gone. I told her to get out and never come back after I walked in on her and Lucky in my bed. I'm replacing the bed and furniture to start new I guess. Plus I'm adding some necessary things…things that will keep my family safe. I have to protect this little boy and his mother." Jason paused, thinking for a moment. "Em, I need to speak with Audrey. Maybe you can help. I'd like Cameron to come her also to keep him safe from Lucky and anyone else until Elizabeth decides what she wants to do next. Do you think she would do that?"
"Jase, I'm sorry. I can't believe Sam did that to you, and with Lucky no less. I sure Audrey will understand. I'll tell her I'm going to be here as well. As for Elizabeth, I think she will understand that you are trying to protect her and her children. Elizabeth will appreciate this. Her children always come first, you know that. Plus now that quiet a few people know your this little boys father, you are going to have to protect them. Now, why don't I go see what I can find for this little boy, and then I'll call Audrey. Maybe mom can bring him here from the daycare. She said she was going to come over later, and Audrey dropped Cam off at the daycare this morning."
"Thanks Em. Thank you for helping me and for always being there for Elizabeth." He picked up his son, who had just started to wiggle. As soon as Jason held the little boy, he quieted down.
Emily looked at the two of them. "That little boy knows he's loved. I even think he already knows who you are. Jason, what are your plans now? I mean about Elizabeth and the boys."
Jason looked at his son, and then at his sister. "I hope Elizabeth will want to work together to take care of the boys. I think, at least for the time being, I am going to have to ask her to live with me so that I can protect them for now. Once she's feeling better, I'll have to see what she wants. I just want her and the boys to be happy. I will do anything possible to make sure that they are safe and happy."
Emily smile. She knew what would make her brother and her friend happy, but she'd just keep that to herself for now. These two have loved each other and been friends forever. They were going to have to decide on the next step themselves.
"Jason!" Cameron, Elizabeth's first son ran through the door. Audrey and Monica followed close behind. "Look at my new motorcycle."
Jason picked up the boy and looked at the new toy. "That's a great motorcycle. Hey do you want to see your new little brother? He's sleeping, but Emily can show you where he is."
Emily picked up Cameron and walked upstairs. Jason looked back at the Audrey and Monica. "Audrey, thank you for bringing Cam over."
Audrey looked at Jason. She had warned her granddaughter for years to stay away from him and his life. Now there was nothing more she could do. He was the father of her youngest grandson. "Jason, Monica explained a little of what is going on. I just want to know that my grandsons are going to be safe. They come first right now. Especially with there mother still not awake. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Audrey, whatever you feel you need or want to do to help, I would appreciate it. I will take care of those two little boys." His phone began to ring. "Excuse me." He turned away.
Monica looked at Audrey and said, "Well, looks like we should go check on our grandson, don't you think?"
They turned to go upstairs until they heard Jason say, "Wait. Elizabeth's awake. I've got to go. Can you stay here to help with the boys? Do not let anyone in until I get back. Audrey, I don't know if you know, but Lucky is back on the pills, at least when I saw him earlier he was. Do not let Cam see him like that. I'll be back."
Audrey just watched him leave. "Lucky…on pills again. My granddaughter is going to be upset. Let's go make sure the boys are okay."
"Elizabeth, it's Jason." He gently picked up her hand and held it between his. They were so small compared to his. So smooth, and perfect.
She jerked awake. "Jason. Jason, is the baby okay? Where's our son? They said he wasn't here…that you had him."
"Elizabeth, he's perfect…he's great. He's at the pent house right now with his brother, your grandmother, Emily, and Monica."
"Lucky…what happened to Lucky."
"The doctors said the baby should go home. They weren't sure when you were going to wake up. Lucky didn't want to listen to them. I'm sorry. I know you didn't want him to know, but you made me promise to do what was best for our son, and the doctors said it was best for him to go home…." Suddenly he felt her put a finger on his lips.
"One thing at a time please. It's okay. I'm sorry this happened. I should have already told Lucky. This is not you fault…it's mine. Now first…how's our son?"
"Elizabeth, he is perfect…all ten fingers and toes. He's already got Emily running laps for him, trying to get everything set up. I think we had a whole baby room up in about two hours with General Emily on the job…she even had Spinelle working."
Elizabeth sat back smiling. "That's great. I'm glad he's got ten fingers and toes." She gave him another smile. "Now what about Lucky?"
Jason kissed her hand and stood up. He walked for a second, and then turned back to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth, I had to tell him. The doctors said it was best for the baby to go home. Lucky did not was to listen to the doctors, and you told me to do what was best for our son. So, I told him I was taking him home, because he was my son. Lucky didn't want to believe it at first. Then he realized Lulu already knew that I was the father. He finally realized it was true. Then apparently he ran into Sam. Elizabeth…I've got to tell you something you aren't going to want to hear. I found Lucky and Sam in my bed together this morning. He had pills on him…he's back on the pills. I told him to never come near you and the boys again."
Elizabeth felt like a ton of bricks had hit her chest. "I can't believe I did this. I kept all these lies, and now everyone is hurting. I am sorry about Sam. I should have let you tell her. I should have told everyone. But I was scared Jason…scared. I thought Lucky would go back on the pills, and what about your work…the boys. This is all my fault. Jason, I'm sorry about what I've done. What am I going to do? I drove him back to those pills…I…"
He sat next to her and held her hand. "Elizabeth….shhhh. You did not do all of this. This was my decision too. I am to blame as well. But as for Sam, I think it might be for the best that she's gone. Elizabeth, Sam and I were already having problems before this. She made her choice when she slept with Lucky. Now listen, as for you and the boys, you have a guard on your door until your able to leave, and the boys are at the pent house with guards there. But we need to talk about what you want to do next. You and the boys have to be safe, and I need to know what to plan for."
Elizabeth looked at this man. She was incredibly lucky to have him here…to have him as her son's father. She had loved him for as long as she could remember, but something or someone had always been in the way. I think the only thing that worried her about him was the life he led, but she knew he would keep her and the boys safe. He had always kept her safe. "What do you think I should do?"
"Elizabeth, you know I won't tell you what to do. You have to decide, but I can give you an option. You and the boys could move in with me when you are able to leave here. That way I could keep you safe. You can take time to heal and take can of your boys…take your time deciding what to do."
"But what about Lucky and Sam? Where would the boys and I stay?"
"No one can see you at the pent house unless you want them there. I'm fixing it now…installing everything needed to keep you and the boys safe while your there and changing out furniture as well. You can stay in Brenda's room. The baby can stay with you there. I'll fix up the third room for Cam. Spinelle can stay at Sonny's old place for now." He looked at her wondering what she would do. Her face would tell him what she needed to know.
"Well, you've just thought of everything haven't you?" She thought about what he said. He was right. It was for the best for now. Plus she knew Luck would get no where near her and the boys. Jason wouldn't let him. She looked up to see Kelly walk in.
Kelly looked at the two new parents, grateful that Elizabeth had woken up. "Jason, I need to check Elizabeth. Could you give us a little minute?"
Jason looked at Elizabeth. She nodded. "I'll do it. Just ask Emily and Gram to go get the boys and my things from Lucky's please. Thank you for this."
Jason tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. "No problem…I'll be back soon." He looked to Kelly. "Do you know how long she'll be here? Can I bring the baby to her?"
Kelly looked at Elizabeth and smiled. "Let me check her first, then we'll decide what's best."
Elizabeth watched as Jason walked out of the room. "Jason, can you get Diane to see me as soon as she can."
"Sure. I'll call her."
