"Hey Mike. Wheres Courtney at?" The young man asked worried.
"Oh she has a new job now." He answered him as he let go a small smile.
"Where?" Patrick asked curiously on how she could get another job so fast.
"She works with Nikolas Cassadine. You can go over and see her if you like." Mike replied as Patrick quiver at the name.
See him and Nikolas went way back when.
Okay not way, way back but a year ago when Patrick came to town it was instant hate between the two men.
"Oh." was all he could answer.
"Here take this to her." Mike said handing a brown bag over the counter.
"What is it?" Patrick asked him.
"Its her illegal drugs she order." Mike answered as Patrick just looked at him.
"Im kidding you moron! Its lunch I made her. The girl has to eat!" He exclaimed.
"Well I thought it was that but you confused me. Bye Mike." Patrick said walking out the door as a young girl walked in.
She couldn't have been a day over eighteen and if she was... damn cause she looked young as hell.
"What can I do for you young lady?" Mike asked her.
"Oh I was wondering if you had any open rooms?" the young blonde asked.
"Why yes I have one left. Would you like it?" he asked her polietly.
"Please." She said looking at him.
"Are you okay ma'am?" he asked her.
"Yeah. I have another favor to ask. Do you have a job I could possibly have?" she seemed scared.
"Sure. One of my waitresses just left today as a matter of fact you can cover all the tables she had." He said as he grabbed the key and signaled her to follow him.
He opened the door and walked in and found the elevator.
He rode it all the way up to were Courtney would be.
When the elevator stopped he walked off and not seeing her anywhere.
He let out a breath.
He told himself that if she was more then Nikolas Cassadine's secretary... ooo was he going to be pissed.
A moment later he felt hands move in front of his eyes.
"Guess." a voice said behind him.
"Mmm. Is it somebody I met yesterday?" he asked so flirty.
"Mmhmm." they replied.
"Oh you must be that sexy brunette named Samantha McCall." He said with a smirk.
She let go of his eyes and walked in front of him.
"Or that blonde from the diner." she said with a smile as she sat down at her desk.
"I know it was you. I was just playing. I brought you lunch courtesy of Mike and I came to see how you were doing?" he asked her.
"Im doing good and thank you ever so much." she replied as she took the bag out of his hand.
"Mmm. This looks good. Want to join me?" She asked him.
"Actually I wanted to see if you could take a break and come with me." he said looking at her.
"Okay. Where are we going?" She said as she stuffed a fry in her mouth.
"To the hospital. Im a doctor and I want you to meet somebody anyway." He said looking at her.
"Okay. Let me go tell Nikolas and I'll be right back." she said getting up and walking into the main office.
"Hey is everything okay? You want to go get some lunch from Mike?" Nikolas asked her.
"He sent me some over already. I was wondering if I could take a break?" she asked him.
"Sure go ahead. Did you want to go somewhere? I could have my driver take you somewhere." he said looking down at the paper work.
"No I have a ride. Patrick is going to take me over to the hospital. I'll be back in an hour." she said softly looking at him.
"Take your time. Have fun and relax." Nikolas said as she nodded her head.
"Thank you for being so kind and understanding when really you dont know a lot about me." She replied.
"Im going to take a stab at it but you are pregnant aren't you?" Nikolas asked her.
"Yeah. How'd you know?" Courtney asked him.
"My ex-girlfriend was pregnant once. She carried full term and then lost it." he said looking at her.
"Im sorry to hear that." Courtney said not knowing how to respond to that.
"Its not your fault. It was mine. I wont tell anybody that you are. Thats your business but have fun." he said looking at her.
She was confused on what he meant at it was his fault but wasnt going to ask questions at least right now.
She nodded her head and walked out and saw Patrick waiting patiently.
"Can you go?" he asked her.
"Yeah. I told you I would be able too." she replied as she grabbed her purse.
They went to the hospital and got out of the car.
"So who are we meeting?" Courtney asked him.
"Just a friend of mine I think you'll like." Patrick said once they got inside.
They walked in and got in the elevator and rode to the fourth floor.
When it reached their destination they stepped off.
"Hey Lainey." Patrick said walking up to her.
"Hello Patrick. Who's this?" Lainey asked Patrick about the blonde.
"Courtney. Courtney this is Lainey. Lainey this is Courtney." Patrick said introducing the two girls to each other.
The girls shook hands not knowing there was so much their between the two of them.
"What are you doing Patrick?" She asked him.
"I came by to see one of my favorite people." he said with a smile.
"Oh. Well they are asking for you." Lainey said as she smiled back at him.
"So how are you doing Lainey?" Patrick asked her.
"Im doing good." she replied.
"How's the husband and kids?" he asked her as she laughed.
"You mean fiancé right? We aren't married yet and we wont have kids until we are! Sonny is doing good." she said as she nodded her head.
"Thats good. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go see somebody." Patrick said grabbing Courtney's hand and walking away.
They walked down this hallway and made a left. When they got to the end of that they made a right and then at the next hallway they made a right and it was the very last door on the left.
They walked into the dark room.
"Hey little guy." Patrick said walking over to the crib that was in the room.
Courtney followed him and looked down. There laid a little boy who couldn't have been over two.
He was the most adorable thing Courtney had ever seen.
"Is he yours?" she whisper in his ear.
"No. He's my best friends baby boy. He's sick and my patient." Patrick said picking him up as the door open.
"Hey." Patrick said to the women who just walked in.
"Hey." the dark hair short women said back to him.
"Courtney this is my best friend Sam. Sam this is Courtney." Patrick said introducing the girls to each other.
"Hey." they said as they shook hands.
"He's your baby?" Courtney asked.
"Not biologically. He was my best friends but she past away so I take care of him now." Sam replied.
"He's adorable." The blonde said looking back at the little boy.
"Thanks. His name is Andrew." Sam said looking down at him.
"Guess who Courtney works for." Patrick said looking at Sam.
"Nikolas?" She instantly guessed.
"Yup." he said looking at her.
"Is that a bad thing or something?" Courtney asked the two of them.
"What no? Nikolas is actually my boyfriend. We've only been together a few months though." Sam said looking at her.
"It is if you ask me." Patrick said looking at her.
"You dont like him?" Courtney asked him as he flashed his dimples at her.
"No but thats besides the point. He's doing better here are his papers you can take him now." Patrick said to Sam handing her a wad of papers.
"Eeee! Thank you Patrick. See this is why I love you!" She replied giving him a hug.
"I know I know." he said hugging her back as Courtney just watched.
"You ready?" Patrick asked her.
"Yes. I need to get back to work actually." she said as she grabbed her purse and they headed outside.
She went back to work for a few more hours and then headed back to Kelly's.
When she walked in she noticed the young girl that must have just started today.
She looked like she had a rough first day.
"Hey." Courtney said smiling at her as the young girl smiled back.
"Who's that Mike and thank you for the food it was so good!" Courtney exclaimed as she sat down at the counter.
"That is my new girl. She is also your new roomie upstairs!" he exclaimed.
"Really?" Courtney asked as she glanced back at the girl who just spilled the drink.
"Let me go help her." Courtney said grabbing a rag and helping the girl clean the mess up.
When it was all said and down the girl placed all the dishes in the back and came out.
"I want to thank you for helping me out there." the young girl said.
"No problem. That was me yesterday!" Courtney responded as the three laughed.
"My name is Courtney. I live upstairs as well as you do." She said as she looked at her.
"My name is Lulu." the young girl said.
"How old are you?" Courtney was curious.
"I am eighteen." Lulu replied.
"Good lord honey. You dont look a day over twelve!" Courtney said with a hint of laughter.
"You look young how old are you?" the young girl asked her.
"Im twenty." Courtney said as she smiled and then laughed.
With her age being announced Mike couldn't help but to think of the greater possibilities that this was his daughter.
"Well I am going upstairs. I am wore out!" Courtney said smiling and walking up the steps.
"She seems nice." Lulu said looking at Mike.
"She's a sweet girl." Mike replied as he looked at her.
Later that night:
It was ten o'clock when the young dark fellow rushed in.
"Hey Mike." he said practically out of breath.
"Hey. Is it done already?" Mike asked him.
"Yeah. I put a rush on it so I would know tonight." Nikolas said handing him an evelope.
"Inside there is your answer. If you arent ready to find out then put it somewhere safe and wait until you are ready." Nikolas said looking at him.
"What are you going to do though if you find out that is your daughter?" Nikolas asked him.
Mike held the envelope in his hand and thought cause he really haven't thought about it that much.
"I dont know." he said looking at Nikolas.
"Do you want to know if she is?" Nikolas asked him.
"Yes. Im going to open it." Mike said as he opened the envelope and pulled out the paper.
She laid in her bed thinking. Patrick Drake was a cutie but was she reading into something more then what was there?
Was he looking for somebody fun that he would be able to do whatever or was he looking for somebody serious?
What was Courtney looking for? Did she want another serious relationship? Did she want another relationship at all?
What would Patrick do once he found out that she was almost three months pregnant? She didn't like the fact that she was keeping that from him now.
She decided she would tell him tomorrow before she got too involve with him and then heart broke. She went to sleep easily that night thinking everything was going to be okay but it wasnt.
Two of the six people she had met so far in this town was working her for Jax.
