Chapter 7

The couple arrived home twenty minutes later. The car ride had been silent. Neither knew what to say to the other. Courtney was thrilled that Jason had come to bring her home, but if he wasn't going to speak to her she wasn't sure she could handle it. Jason didn't know what to say to her. It was the first time he truly had no idea what to do about Courtney.

By the time they walked into the penthouse, Courtney had had enough. "Are you ever going to speak to me again?"

Jason looked at her. He knew where she was coming from, but he still didn't know what to say. "What do you want me to say Courtney?"

"I don't know, but anything is better than the silent treatment. I thought when you came to the hospital that it was a sign that you had forgiven me. But from the way you are acting, I don't know what to say to make you forgive me. Jason, I never meant to lie to you. I really was going to tell you about the baby. I was on my way home to tell you when someone hit me over the head." Courtney had tears running down her face. She had to get him to forgive her. She didn't know what she would do if he didn't.

Jason let her words sink in. If only he had let her explain the night before. It all made since now. "I know that you would never try to put our baby in harm. I just wish I had been there for you when you found out."

Courtney let out a breathe she didn't know she had been holding. "I wish you had been there too Jason. I love you more than anything. I swear next time you will be there."

"Oh, so you think there will be a next time." Jason teased her.

Courtney let a smile cover her entire face. "I really hope so, but let's see how one goes first."

Jason and Courtney were both relieved that they had finally made-up. Jason walked up to his wife and brought her smiling face towards his. The two of them stood there kissing each other when they heard the door open.

"Oh, sorry." The two broke apart to see Carly standing in the door way. "I heard Courtney was out of the hospital. I just wanted to make sure everything was ok, but the looks of it I would say everything it great."

Courtney was disappointed when her best friend had intruded on her little make-out session, but she couldn't really be mad at Carly. She was just being a good friend. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a mild concussion and a bump. Thanks for checking, but we actually have plans."

Carly looked between the two. "I get it. Well, I will talk to you later."

Jason looked over at his wife. "We have plans?"

Courtney smiled back at him, "Yes, very important plans." She quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the stairs. Jason then understood what the plans were. He followed Courtney up the stairs were the made love the rest of the day because after all the best part of fighting was making up.
