Epilogue

Two years later

"Hi." Elizabeth smiled as her husband walked into the house. "Welcome home." He had been gone for the last week on business. She had missed him terribly but his absence gave her a chance to hide something she wouldn't have gotten away with otherwise.

"I missed you." Jason said hugging her and lifting her off her feet. "I kept my promise."

"You always keep your promises." Elizabeth didn't doubt him. He said he would be home on their wedding anniversary and here he was. Even if he had gotten held up she wouldn't have been angry. She knew she was loved.

"I was worried." Jason admitted. "Things were a mess. I had to leave Marco down there. I thought about leaving Johnny but then I would need you to protect me from Georgie."

"She doesn't move very fast these days I think you can outrun her." Elizabeth laughed. Georgie was eight months pregnant, and Johnny was a nervous wreck.

"I can out run her, but she has a wicked throwing arm. She'd still get me." Jason said turning his head and capturing his wife's lips. Someone had tried to breach the computer records at the casino so security had to be gone over, carefully. Poor Stan had ended up rebuilding the system from scratch. He and Marco were testing it and would watch for the next week. Nothing was stolen but whoever did this had gotten close. Stan was running a trace, but so far nothing had turned up. They needed to be patient because in the end they would find whoever did this.

"It's midnight." Elizabeth whispered. "Happy anniversary."

"Happy anniversary baby." Jason said kissing her again. He had missed her something fierce. Because he wasn't sure what they were facing he had made the decision to leave her here in Port Charles. She had stayed at the Towers, and came to the house when he called from the airport. "Do we have plans?"

"Just to be together. Cody offered his cabin, but I figured you wouldn't want to leave the house." Elizabeth placed her head on his shoulder when he shifted her so that he was carrying her.

"Thank you. I just want it to be us today." He said starting upstairs. "I told Sonny I was turning off my phone. I'll give him his report tomorrow. I need some sleep." He'd been awake for twenty-four hours. "When I wake up prepare to be ravished."

"I can't wait." Elizabeth said sitting on the bed watching him undress. She held up the blankets so he could slide under. "Sleep." She said scratching his scalp.

"Love you." He said as his eyes closed.

"I love you too." She whispered as his breathing evened out. She got under the covers and snuggled close. Her sleeping had suffered as well with him away, and if she was getting ravished she wanted to have the energy to enjoy it.

She woke up to him watching her. "You were tired." It was almost nine.

"I was." She admitted. "Not anymore though." She said giving him her sultriest look.

"Good." Jason took her mouth gently. His hands roamed her body until he was cupping her bottom. She wiggled against him and he growled. Reaching further down he pulled her leg over his hip opening her up to him.

She shifted until she could feel the tip of his cock resting against the opening to her body. "I'm ready for you."

"You are always ready for me." Jason said slowing pushing forward and impaling her with his hardness. "I love that."

"I dreamed of you, of this." Elizabeth told him arching as he stroked deep.

"I missed feeling you holding me so tight." Jason told her. Pulling back until he left her body and then pushing forward to fill her up again. "It's better now than the first time. Tomorrow it will be better than today."

"Jason, I'm close." She whispered with her eyes on his.

"I know." He paid attention he could feel the way her muscles were squeezing him in a rhythmic massage. He shifted the angle ever so slightly and she cried out as she fell. He didn't bother to try holding back. They would make love again today. So after two more strokes he fell too.

After his shower he came out to find her in one of his shirts. Stretching across the bed he took a minute to look at her. She was so beautiful it still stopped him in his tracks to realize she was his. "Would you like your gifts?" He had purchased one here before he had to leave. The second he had purchased in Puerto Rico. He had seen it in a window on his way back to his room one night. He had gotten the manager to open the store so he could buy the item.

"You got me more than one?" Elizabeth didn't really need anything.

"Two." Jason said holding his fingers. "And I'm impatient for you to open them so wait here." He rolled from the bed and rummaged through his luggage before reaching up on the shelf in his closet. "Here."

Elizabeth laughed because Jason always got really excited about giving her gifts. "Which one first?"

"This one." He tapped the bigger box.

"Okay." Elizabeth smiled. Last year Jason had said that every year he would get her one traditional and one modern anniversary gift. She thought he was joking, but he wasn't. For the first anniversary the traditional gift was paper. It turned out be a painting by another artist she loved. The modern gift was a clock and they now had a grandfather clock in the main hall. This year the traditional gift was cotton, while the modern one was china.

Inside the box was a large bowl. "Jason it's beautiful." Elizabeth said holding it and examining it closer.

"It is called a chinoiserie." He explained. "Its hand painted."

"Roses. They are beautiful." She flipped it over. "Wedgwood."

"The pattern is called Elizabeth." He said grinning.

"They have a pattern named Elizabeth." She grinned as well knowing it would be because of the Queen.

"They do now." Jason told her.

"No. Named after me?" Elizabeth's mouth dropped open. "How did you do that?"

"You call up and commission it." Jason told her. "Doesn't the flower look familiar?" Seeing her confusion. "It's yours, the one you did from grandmother's garden. I faxed it over and they had a master craftsman recreate it."

"Jason that was just a doodle." Elizabeth said trying to wrap her brain around what he'd done.

"You just said it was beautiful." He said laughing. "The rest of the set will be here in a few weeks. It's still being crafted."

"Thank you." She carefully put the bowl away before kissing him. It would take a bit for that to settle.

"Open the next one." Jason grinned.

She did. "Pablo Neruda. In Spanish." She loved Neruda's work.

"I went with the traditional British gift which is paper." He explained. "Cotton wasn't working for me."

"I love it. Thank you." Elizabeth reached for her gifts. "Open the big one first." She said starting to get nervous.

"You painted something for me." He said smiling. Ripping off the paper he grinned. He got it right away because they had this photograph in the house. It was the ocean view from their bedroom on the island. "I'm going to put this in my office." He loved that view, now he had it all the time. He picked up the second gift. "Now is this cotton or paper?" He said trying to guess.

Elizabeth took a deep breath and waited.

Jason ripped off the paper and opened the slender box, similar to the kind a pen would come in. Taking off the lid he froze.

"Jason?" Elizabeth said worried after a few minutes. All that silence could not be a good thing.

"You're pregnant." Jason said still staring at the test with the word positive.

"I am. I suspected last week. I've got all these little symptoms and I'm late, it's a week today since I took the test." Her voice shook because he still hadn't given any indication that this was good news. "Are you angry?" They had said they would wait a few years, but she only stopped taking the pill last month. Kelly said it should take longer for her to get pregnant. Jason had said that was a good thing because it gave him time to get ready.

"Are you sure?" He questioned.

"I went to see Kelly." Elizabeth told him.

Jason dropped the gift and pretty much tackled his wife. He was holding her tight. "I love you." He said before kissing her.

"You're happy?" She said giving up and letting the tears flow.

"We are having a baby, I'm thrilled, and terrified." Jason said laughing. "I'm going to be a dad! When? When am I going to be a dad?"

"In March." Elizabeth said laughing at his excitement.

"Okay then. March, we'll need to start getting ready. Have the house baby proofed and other baby stuff. We'll need books." Jason stopped and grinned at her. "We're having a baby."

"I know." She said laughing.

"Did I hurt you? Just now?" He said looking at her in horror. She was pregnant and he had knocked her over.

"No, you didn't." He was going to wrap her in cotton if she didn't stop him.

"Do you need anything? Want anything?" He would get her whatever she asked for.

"I'm kinda hungry." Elizabeth told him. She was normally up by now so breakfast was coming late today.

"I'll make you breakfast, what do you want?" Jason had to feed the little mother.

"Eggs." She requested.

"Coming right up." Jason stopped. "Does anyone else know?"

"No. I wouldn't tell anyone before you, plus it's tradition to not say anything until twelve weeks." Elizabeth didn't think he was going to be able to keep quiet. That grin was going to give it away.

"Okay. Breakfast." Jason said rushing from the room.

Elizabeth laughed. "Daddy is excited." She said to her tummy.

Jason walked into Sonny's office grinning like a fool. He'd been trying to stop grinning but it just wasn't happing. For the last twenty-four hours he'd been grinning.

"Hey, you're in a good mood." Sonny said smiling. Johnny and Francis were also looking at Jason.

It was Francis who clued in first, but Johnny wasn't far behind. Being smart men and knowing how violent pregnant women could be they kept quiet but knew there was no way Jason wasn't going to blab. So they just waited.

"Elizabeth is pregnant." Jason blurted out. He had meant to say good morning, but that wasn't what came out.

"Pregnant?" Sonny said starting to smile. "Yeah." He had wondered if they were having troubles because he figured they'd have a little one by now.

"Yeah." Jason said smiling wider.

"How is she?" Sonny wanted to know. He had just seen her two days ago. Of course she would want to tell Jason first.

"Good, she's gonna kick my ass though." He said laughing.

"Meetings canceled." Sonny grabbed his suit jacket.

"Where are you going?" Jason asked his father in law.

"To see my little girl." Sonny said walking out of the office.

"Start running now." Johnny said laughing. "Congrats."

"Congrats." Francis echoed. "What suit do you want us to bury you in?"

"I know." Jason said still grinning. He didn't care, he was going to be a dad.

She was on the porch when her papa pulled up. "Hi." She said smiling.

"Felicitaciones," He said hugging her tight. "When?"

"March." Elizabeth said hugging him back.

"Jason won't go out of town anymore." Sonny promised.

"Papa, its fine. I'll need him home closer to my due date, but he can go now if you need him too." Elizabeth wasn't expecting them to start changing things for her. "Are you ready to be an abuelo?"

"I am." Sonny was going to spoil the baby rotten. "If you need anything and you can't reach Jason you call me or your mother." Elizabeth had been calling Alexis mom since her papa married the gallery owner.

"We will need to call my nonni." Her grandparents were going to flip. Talia now lived in Port Charles because she and Mike had gotten close and then fallen in love. Right now they were on vacation with Gloria and Carmine. "Can you call a cruise ship?"

"Stan will know. If not I'll hire a helicopter, because once they find out they are going to want to come home. Now, let's get you in the house and I'll fix you a snack." Sonny said fussing over his daughter.

March

"Hey, come in." Jason smiled as he opened the door to Elizabeth's hospital room. "They are sleeping."

"How are they?" Sonny had been pacing like mad on the plane during the flight back. He and Alexis had gone to Miami for the weekend. Elizabeth wasn't due for another three weeks so he thought it would be fine.

"They are good." Jason said smiling. "Elizabeth took Kelly telling her she was full term to heart." They had been at the doctor's two days ago and everything was on track for a March 29th delivery. This morning Elizabeth's water broke and eleven hours later their son had been born. "Come met your nieto."

Elizabeth was sleeping soundly as the two men walked over to the small bundle in the bassinet. "How long have you known you were having a boy?"

"At sixteen weeks. She said she would hurt me if I said anything." Jason replied picking up his son and handing him to his abuelo. "Cameron Michael Morgan."

Sonny just shook his head. "Thank you." Elizabeth had already said that there would be no Michael Corinthos the third. So Sonny thought the name was out altogether.

"Hi papa." Elizabeth said from the bed. She liked the way the three of them looked together.

"Hi." He said handing the baby back to Jason. "How are you feeling?"

"Tired." She smiled. "Where is mom?"

"In the hall. I wasn't sure if anyone was awake. Let me go get her." Sonny hurried out and came back with Alexis.

"Oh, he's adorable." Alexis was pleased to be an abuela. "What's his name?"

"Cameron Michael." Elizabeth said smiling. She was a mom.

"How are you?" Alexis asked.

"Tired." Elizabeth repeated.

"We are going to go, get some rest because we'll be back first thing in the morning. I'll bring breakfast." Sonny said kissing his little girl. "Te quiero."

"Te quiero papa and mom." Elizabeth said as they left. Jason put the baby back down. "Come here." She wanted his arms around her.

"I love you." Jason told her.

"You better." She joked. "I love you too. He's beautiful."

"He is. Just like you." Jason said kissing her softly. "Rest." She would be getting up again soon to feed their son, but for now she should sleep. When she was resting Jason got off the bed and walked over to stand by his son. Elizabeth was the greatest gift he'd ever been given and now she had given him someone else to love. He would never stop being grateful for his family. One that hopefully someday include more children. But for now his life, their life, was perfect.
