Epilogue Part Three

Jason found his lovely wife in the kitchen making herself a cup of tea. Unable to resist he walked over and slid his arms around her while nibbling on her neck. Over twenty five years of marriage had passed and she was still beautiful. She would be fifty in three years and didn't look it. "Wanna go upstairs?" He whispered in her ear.

"We live here alone now, we don't have to go upstairs." She reminded him. The house was quiet with all the kids gone but she had no intention of moving. This was home. The kids still visited often, but they all had their own homes now. "We could have each other right here." She let her hand slide down his body to squeeze his growing erection. In his fifties Jason was still gorgeous and his body was still amazing.

"Yes we could." He was lifting the hem of her shirt when he heard the key in the lock. "They don't live here and they are still blocking me." He muttered. Elizabeth just laughed. Despite having four kids, she couldn't talk him into any more, their sex life never suffered.

"Mum, da?" Abigail called.

"In the kitchen." Elizabeth wondered why their youngest was home. She looked at Jason who just looked away. He knew something.

Abigail was fairly vibrating as she ran in. Colin Paul was with her. "We are getting married!" The blonde shouted holding up her hand.

"Oh my god!" Elizabeth squeezed her daughter before holding out her other arm to include Colin. Releasing the kids she turned to Jason. "You knew!" She accused.

"I knew he was going to ask." Jason admitted. Colin had come by the house last week and very nervously asked for permission. Jason of course gave it. He had watched Colin grow up and thought if anyone was close to be good enough for his princess it was the young man before him.

"The ring is gorgeous." Elizabeth gushed. "Do Vonnie and Cody know?"

"They do." Abby told her mother sitting at the table. "We told them first because we drove through Kildare." The couple both lived in Dublin. Colin was head of business operations at Corelli Coffee. It was assumed that when Francis retired it was Colin who would take over the business. Abby worked for Chloe. Her artist's eye and her love of fashion made her perfect for the field. Last year she presented her first solo line under Chloe's label.

"I'm so pleased." Elizabeth had worried when Abby started dating. Her brothers and Jason scared most guys away. When Colin stepped up to present his suite two years ago, the Morgan men had glared and snorted but Cody's son was not going anywhere. He earned their respect and Abby's heart. "We need to have everyone over to start planning." Elizabeth walked off to call up Vonnie.

"Are you happy da?" Abby asked her father.

"I am. Colin's a good man." Jason wasn't looking forward to officially giving his daughter away. He was going to be a mess on her wedding day. Just like he'd been on Jake's and Aiden's wedding days. Cameron had yet to settle.

"Aunt Chloe is going to design my gown." Abby told her mother who was back.

"She's been saying that since you were born, so yeah she is." Elizabeth laughed. "Maddie, Fiona, Aliana, and Kylie are going to stand up with you?"

"Yup, Maddie is going to be my Matron of Honor." Abby stated. That surprised no one. The girls were close having grown up next door to one another. Maddie was also Abby's sister in law, she and Aiden had married two years ago. Aiden was the one who was taking over the horse breeding operation. He and Maddie both loved the animals and both understood what they needed.

"So when are you thinking?" Elizabeth already had a pen and paper.

"In the spring, so six months from now. In the city." Abby had been raised out in nature but she was very much a city girl.

"How about at the villa?" Jason offered. Like her mother his daughter loved Italy.

"Really?" She just lit up. Jason didn't normally open his home to outsiders, but for this he would.

"A destination wedding. What do you think hon?" Abby asked her fiancée.

"Whatever you like." Colin didn't need the fuss. He would be happy to elope like Hunter did, but if his girl wanted it then that was fine.

"Thanks da." Abby clapped. "Aunt Chloe will freak. Her dress will look stunning against that backdrop. We will need to go over there."

"We can do that this weekend. Just us girls." Elizabeth suggested to spare the guys.

"Let me send out a text." Abby wanted to get the ball rolling. A destination wedding meant a little more work but she would love to get married in Turin.

The wedding was the event of the season. Abigail Morgan Paul was a beautiful bride. Jason managed not to cry until the father/daughter dance. By the time it was done both he and Abby, and most of the guests, were a mess. Elizabeth had to take him onto the balcony so he could calm down. Johnny couldn't even make fun of his friend because he had bawled through Maddie's entire ceremony.

All the kids made it, which was a feat in and of itself. The children were all busy and scattered.

Morgan was in Dublin, much to no one's surprise, he worked with his father. Chloe had cried her eyes out when it became clear that her son would follow no other course but she accepted it. Johnny wasn't thrilled either but he'd rather have his son working for him than another family who might not have the same moral code. Right now Morgan was an enforcer but he was also his father's second in command.

Hunter had married Kylie and the two of them moved to Canada. Both were doctors. Hunter was a pediatrician and Kylie an ENT. They had both gone to Eton and that was where romance had blossomed for the two childhood friends. It was at the bachelorette party last night that Kylie was outed as being pregnant. Her lack of drinking gave her away.

Fiona was also in Dublin and driving Morgan crazy. Fiona had followed her great aunt into law. Another redhead she was just as outspoken and fearless as the two women she idolized. She saw no need to get married anytime soon. Morgan was determined they would be married before the year was out. The power struggle was keeping everyone entertained.

Aliana was in France. She was studying to be a pastry chef. But she made frequent trips to England to visit with Jake. He had gotten a degree in mechanical engineering, no surprise there. He worked in robotics developing cutting edge tools to help surgeons do less invasive procedures. In his spare time he rode his Harley. Not one from his da's shop, but the same one his da took his mum for rides on all those years ago back in Port Charles.

Cameron was in from California. Like Aiden he had gone to school in the states. Unlike his brother he stayed. He was a marine biologist and spent most of time on the water. He was currently single but his cousin Emma was trying to fix him up with a friend of hers who recently moved to San Diego as well. Josslyn worked at the zoo as a primate specialist. Emma swore they'd be a great match.

Robin and Steven were also here. Steven spent all his time glaring at Emma's boyfriend. Michael Quartermaine was working at ELQ with his father, cousin and Grandfather. He took one look at the newest intern at the hospital and was instantly smitten. Emma had fallen just as hard. The two were now living together in the gatehouse of the mansion.

Dimitri and Sebastian Cassadine also came. Sebastian like his cousin Cameron was single. He liked being single and really liked having a different girl each week. It drove his mother crazy. Eventually he would settle down, but he was in no rush. Working at Cassadine International was his true passion right now. Since his brother inherited the title Sebastian got the company. It was an arrangement that suited him perfectly.

Dimitri however was a completely different story. He had, like his parents, fallen in love early. At fifteen he had met the woman who would own his heart and not a lot of folks were happy in the beginning. Dimitri's heart was stolen by Kristina Corinthos-Lavery. Despite not wanting to raise her daughter in the mob Alexis couldn't seem to resist Duke.

Considering who Kristina's biological father was, and what her adopted father did, Nikolas and Emily were not happy. Edward grumbled about getting Jason back only to lose Dimitri. It was finally Jason who played peacemaker. He reminded everyone of the time they lost making demands on him. It turned out the fuss was for nothing. Dimitri had no interest in following in Duke's footsteps. Instead Dimitri and Kristina had moved back to Greece to live on the family's island after getting married right out of college.

When Elizabeth and Jason came back they sat with Diane and Francis and Cooper and Jesse for a while. Jason still needed some time to relax. Giving away his baby girl was going to take a while to get used to. But since the couple would continue to live in Dublin they would still see one another often.

Everyone had a great time. The newlyweds retired to their room around midnight but the party went on until the early hours of the morning. Finally the only people left in the room were the parents of the bride and groom. "They'll be happy." Siobhan said to her longtime friend.

"They will and we are going to have gorgeous grandchildren." Elizabeth couldn't wait.

"Red headed with curls." Colin like his mother was a red head. Only Kylie had her father's dark hair.

"Or brown that's straight." Elizabeth laughed.

"Oh please give me my curls. None of us in my family have any and it seems wrong somehow." Siobhan was laughing as well. "Is he going to be okay?" She pointed to Jason.

"Eventually. When Aliana got married I recall your guy not taking it too well." Liz said poking fun at Cody.

"At least you got notice, ours came home married." Cody grumbled good naturedly.

"You love Hunter." His wife jabbed him with her elbow.

"He's a good kid." Cody had to concede. "I'm whipped. Let's turn in."

"Alright. Night." Siobhan waved as her hubby led her away.

"So dad, what do you think? I think we did okay." Elizabeth was proud of all of her children.

"I think that with you for a mother, our kids couldn't have turned out anyway but wonderful." Jason said leaning up to kiss her. "Still mad I said no to number five?"

"No." Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her hubby's neck and let him sway her. "We might have gotten another Abby." They both laughed. "I don't know if we could have survived."

"She is the only one of our children we had to bail out." Jason said shaking his head. "She and Fiona both ran a bit wild, but they didn't do drugs or sleep around. So it wasn't too bad."

"She wouldn't have gotten arrested if she had stopped talking." Abby's mouth had gotten her into more trouble than anything else. "But she turned out fine in the end."

"Now all we have to do is get Cam married off." Jason watched his wife roll her eyes and he laughed.

"Emma will straighten him out." Elizabeth snuggled closer to her husband. "I love you." She said softly.

"I love you too. More today that when we first left Port Charles. For the life of me I have no idea how that is even possible." She still left him in awe. Stepping back he held out his hand. "What do you say? Will you run away with me again?"

She didn't hesitate to place hers on top. "Anytime, anywhere." Elizabeth told him. She saw the twinkle in his eyes. "What are you planning?"

"Come with me and find out." He teased.

The next morning when everyone came down to brunch it was Cameron who had to announce that his parents were no longer in attendance. He had found a note under his door saying that they had a plane to catch. The note left no indication of where they were going or when they'd be back, but they wanted their guests to enjoy the rest of the weekend.

In the bedroom of their private jet Jason and Elle cuddled close after making love. All these years later and they still couldn't get enough of one another. They had gone up to their room and gotten changed. Then he took her on a bike ride ending up at the airport. He refused to tell her where they were going until they were in the air. "I thought we would take a second honeymoon." He explained running his hands down the smooth skin of her back.

"We did that already. We went to Bermuda, it's how we got the twins." She reminded him.

"A third then." Jason corrected himself.

"Africa when the twins were ten." Elizabeth said snuggling closer.

"Fourth." Jason said laughing.

"You took me to Costa Rica when the twins left for college." Elizabeth was enjoying this game. She knew Jason remembered every trip they'd ever taken.

"I want to take you away and have you all to myself." He told her.

"I like the sound of that. Where are we going?" Elizabeth didn't really care, she just wanted to be with him.

"I made a purchase." Jason told her.

"What did you buy?" Elizabeth sat up. He rarely bought things without telling her first.

"I bought an island." Jason confessed. He sat up and rolled his lovely wife under him. It was too soon for another round of love making but he loved feeling all her skin against his.

"Where?" She asked excited.

"Somewhere we've never been together, and I've only been once." He teased. "But you've always wanted to go."

"Fiji." Her heart was beating hard in excitement.

"You know me too well." He grinned. "We will arrive in time to watch the sunrise."

"Jason." She said his name on a sigh as she brought his face to hers for a kiss. "I love you. You make all my dreams come true.

"I love you too Elle. You are my dream." He whispered kissing her again. As the plane flew toward their own private paradise the two lovers settled in to sleep. A life well lived behind them and more to come ahead.

When I decided to turn the one shot into a full length story I was a bit worried, because I wasn't sure I could do it. Then when I decided to start posting before it was complete I was terrified that I would leave you guys hanging. Neither of things happened and now we have finished another one! Thank you guys so much for all the support and encouragement that you gave me along the way. It really does make a world of difference to us writers when we realize we aren't alone.

On Monday I will begin posting my next story, After the Storm. It's an early Liason Hurt/Comfort/Romance for those who have been asking for another one. It's another long story, again for those who wanted one. It is darker than anything I've done before, but I'm hoping that some of you will stop by and give it a read.

Thank you so much for the reviews, the follows, and the favorites! Thank you even more for the support and encouragement! It is an absolute joy to be a part of these communities. See you next week, until then be well!
