There are no excuses for the delay, but I didn't want to leave this story unfinished. Here is the last chapter. Thank you to all who read the story and a special thanks to those who took the time to review. Enjoy.
It wasn't however, until three weeks later that Jason and Elizabeth were able to return to Port Charles. The risk of losing the baby was now gone and she had even started rehabilitation to gain full movement of her arm.
They were now on the way back to Port Charles, on Jason's private plane. She had fallen asleep almost as soon as they took off and was just now waking up. A smile came to her face at the picture in front of them. Jason was sitting with Cam, both of them with a video game control in their hands and intently watching the small television set in front of them. Jason's face was serious with concentration while Cameron's showed a little bit of a smile, as if he was trying to hide it.
"Dad if you keep doing it like that you'll never pass to the next level."
"I just don't understand how the man is supposed to have laser eyes and defeat the dragon."
Elizabeth almost laughed out loud. Cameron was set on showing Jason how to play video games but it was not going very well. Jason would always question the logistics of the game and Cameron's answer was always the same.
"Dad, it's just a game."
"I know it's just a game, but they could make them more realistic. This is just giving kids the wrong ideas." Elizabeth saw him try once again to defeat the red dragon on the screen with no success. "I think I had enough lessons for today. Tomorrow I will try once again to defeat the dragon."
"Whatever, you're never going to catch up to my level like that. Here, give me your remote, let me show you again so you see how it's done."
And Cameron took Jason's remote and easily started moving the character around and fighting the dragon. Jason just sat back and watched his son. Elizabeth loved those moments, where he let down his guard and stopped being the mob enforcer to be the father and husband she loved. He pretended to look at the tv but she could see that he was really watching Cam. Taking in every little bit of him.
She couldn't blame him though, since she found herself doing the same thing. Two days after being in the hospital in Phoenix and knowing they would have to be there for some time Jason had asked Emily to fly Cameron over. Elizabeth was ecstatic when she saw him walk into her hospital room. Sure she had spoken to him several times but it wasn't the same as having her baby boy in her arms. She hugged him and kissed him as long as she could, before he decided it was enough. He told her about his imprisonment and his sequential stay with his grandparents. He seemed to be handling the whole situation fine, but she and Jason had already discussed taking him to therapy to make sure he got over this horrible experience.
He begged and begged until they agreed he could stay with them in Phoenix for the time they were there. Monica was kind enough to fly out there and stay with Cameron at the hotel when they couldn't be at the hospital. Jason however had not left her side. The nurses and doctors had tried to put limitations on his visits but he wouldn't have it, and of course as soon as he started them down they gave into his demands.
They talked a lot during that time. About their plans for their future and their family. They had waited until getting the all clear on the baby to tell Cameron. He was so happy about getting a new sibling, of course there is now way anyone could convince him it could be a girl, he was positive it would be a boy for him to play with. Elizabeth had only laughed; he was as hardheaded as Jason.
"Hey what are you smirking about?"She was so deep in thought she hadn't realized Jason was no longer seated besides Cam, but right next to her.
"Just how much your son is like you."
"Well he has a lot of you too. I hope this new baby looks like you as well." She leaned her head into his shoulder and allowed him to cradle her in his arms. "We'll be home in less than an hour. Are you excited to go back?"
"I am exciting to be anywhere you and Cameron are."
"Elizabeth you know I can't promise you a life without any problems, you know I have too many enemies. I can promise you that I will never again be away from you and our children and I will protect you all with my life."
"That is all I want." They were silent for a bit. Both looking at their son, alive and breathing in front of them.
"I am sorry you had to go through all that pain."
"I am sorry too, but this pain we shared made us stronger. I love you Jason."
"I love you too, and always will."
I would greatly appreciate it if you guys took one moment to review. I have another idea for a new Liason story if you guys are interested. Once again thanks for reading. It was a pleasure writing this story.
