Courtney just looked at him not exactly sure how to begin.
"So?" Patrick asked her.
"No." she simply said.
"Why?" he asked her confused on why she wouldnt accept it.
"Because Patrick! Im not ready to be in another marriage! Hell I dont think I should even be in a relationship right now!" She exclaimed pleading her case.
"So is that your way of breaking things off all together?" He asked her.
"What? No Patrick! Look dont get me wrong okay. I love you and I love being with you. Its just two months ago I wanted to remain single and now look we have a house and everything else together! Im just not ready for such a big commitment to another person just yet." She explained as she put her hand on his lap.
She could tell deep down it hurt him but it would've hurt him more if she excepted and then backed out of it a month or two down the road.
"I promise when I'm ready we can get married." she finished as he just looked at her.
"Okay." he said in almost a whisper.
Courtney leaned in to give him a kiss that was soft, gentle and quick.
"Me and Jacob are going for ice cream. Want to come?" she asked him.
"No you's go and have fun. I'll meet you's back at home okay?" he asked her as she nodded her head yes.
"Love you." he said before kissing her on her cheek and getting up and walking away.
"Love you too." she said almost in a whisper as he was gone by the time she could get it out of her mouth.
"Come on Jacob!" she said as she stood up.
He looked over at her and stood up as well and grabbed his tonka truck and pushed it towards her and out of the sand.
They walked into Kelly's and she sat him down at the bar beside her.
"Hey!" Mike said looking at his daughter when he came out from the back.
"Hey daddy! Can we get some chocolate ice cream?" Courtney asked him.
"Sure! Coming right up." he said with a smile as he walked into the back room.
"Well well well." Jax said walking in the diner.
Courtney rolled her eyes just at the voice of him. Didn't he have a life?
"Hey Patrick! Whats wrong?" Robin asked as he sat down in the waiting room.
"I made a fool out of myself earlier." he responded not looking at her.
"How?" she simply asked him.
"By asking Courtney to marry me." he responded.
"She told you no?" Robin wondered as he nodded his head yes.
"She said she loved me but wasnt ready. How can she not be ready? She's been married before!" he exclaimed confused.
"Thats why! She wants to make sure the next time its forever! She knows her last marriage she rushed into and doesn't want to make that mistake again. Are you's still together?" Robin asked curiously.
"I think so. I dont know." he responded.
"Well go find out." Robin said as he just smiled up at her.
"Thanks for everything Robin." Patrick said as he walked over to the elevator.
"Anytime." she said walking past him.
"What do you need Jax?" she asked him making eye contact.
"To see how my lovely wife is doing." he said sitting beside her.
"Okay as soon as I get my divorce I will be your ex wife and why are you now stalking me shouldn't you be out playing sugar daddy to Elizabeth?" she asked him.
"Why should I give you a divorce?" Jax asked her.
"Why shouldn't you?" Courtney questioned.
"Oh I know that. You see I dont think you are completely over me yet and that you are just using Patrick to try and prove something. Well baby I hate to break it to you but Im not convinced." Jax said looking at her.
Courtney rolled her eyes and then laughed as Patrick walked in the diner.
"Jax Im going to be completely honest. I dont love you. In fact Im not sure I was ever in love with you but I do know that Im in love with Patrick and I want to spend the rest of my life with him. So stop being an ass and just give me the divorce already. Its not like I want anything from you." She exclaimed.
"Come on Courtney. Drop the charade!" Jax said looking at her as he placed his hand on her face and she pulled back.
"Here you go!" Mike said placing ice cream on the counter.
"Thanks daddy. How much?" she asked him.
"On the house princess." he responded.
"Thanks. Love you!" She said leaning over the counter to give him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"As much as I would love to continue arguing with your retarded ass I have places to go." She said with a smile as she help Jacob down and handed him his ice cream.
She looked up and saw Patrick standing there.
"Hey!" she exclaimed with a smile.
"Hey." he responded back to her.
"How long have you been standing there?" she wondered.
"Just walked in." he simply stated.
"Oh. Well we are now leaving." Courtney said as she had a grip on Jacob's hand.
"I see that. Let me help you out." He replied as he picked up Jacob for her and carried him out to the car.
"See you at home?" she asked him after he shut the back door.
"Of course." he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
She just smiled at him before giving him a kiss.
"See you there." he said as they pulled away.
"Okay." she replied before getting in the car as he walked towards his.
They arrived back at the house and Jacob and Courtney ate their ice cream while Patrick sat on the couch looking through a Parent's Magazine. He quickly shutter and put it done by page 50. Courtney just laughed at him.
"Whats wrong baby?" she asked him as she sat down beside him on the couch.
"I rather not talk about it!" he said flinging the magazine on the coffee table.
She continued to laugh at him. Jacob wanted to watch Monsters Inc so Courtney put it in the dvd player for him.
"Im going to go start dinner." she said as she sat beside Patrick.
"Want help?" he asked her.
"No I got it." she said before giving him a quick kiss and walking in the kitchen.
Jacob climbed up beside Patrick to watch the movie. Thirty minutes later and both were knocked out on the couch. Courtney walked in about to ask Patrick to go to the store for Ricotta cheese but then saw him laying peacefully with Jacob's head resting on his arm.
She just smiled before grabbing the blanket off the back of the couch and covering the two of them up with it and leaving to go to the store herself. Courtney finished making the stuff shells when somebody came in the kitchen and hugged her.
"Hey." Patrick said softly in her ear.
"Hey. Have a good nap?" she asked him.
"I love Jacob but I think it could've been better if you were the one laying beside me." he said looking at her with a smile.
"Well I would've loved to been the one beside you but I dont think Jacob is older enough to use the stove just yet." she said as he laughed.
"I love you." he said looking at her.
"I love you too." she replied as she kissed him.
They ate dinner and cleaned up as Jacob played. When eight came around she gave him a bath and got him ready for bed as he watched an episode of Thomas and then Courtney went and tucked him in.
"Night love you." she said giving him a kiss on the forehead.
"Love you too mommy." he said back to her before turning on his side.
She got up and walked in her room where Patrick was already laying in bed. Most couples didn't go to bed until ten or later but this couple was asleep by ten. She climbed in the bed beside Patrick and got under the covers.
"Whats wrong?" Patrick asked her.
"Jacob just called me mommy." Courtney said shocked.
Patrick looked at her and shrugged his shoulders.
"Probably because you are the only person thats been in his life for this long of a period." he said looking at her.
"But still I mean Rose could call me tomorrow and say she has a home and he's gone Patrick." Courtney said as a single tear rolled out of her right eye.
"Well just pray for the best. Maybe no home will be found for him until you are ready to marry and then it'll be our home." he said pushing back a strand of her hair.
She just sat there looking at him not saying a word.
"Okay look. Since we dont know how much time we have with Jacob we will go on vacation." he said as she smiled.
"We dont have too." she said shaking her head.
"Yes we do! It'll be fun." he responded.
"Anywhere is fun as long as you are there." she said before giving him a soft kiss.
"I think the same thing about you." he said in a whisper.
"So where do you want to go?" he asked her.
"Mmm to the beach." she said back with a smile.
"What beach?" he wondered.
"Hawaii maybe?" she asked him.
"Hawaii it is." he said back as he gave her a kiss.
"I dont deserve you." she simply said when they broke away.
"I know you deserve better." he replied flashing his dimples as she laughed.
"No you are as good as they come!" she stated.
"Thanks I guess." he replied as she continued to smile.
"You want to know something?" he asked as he laced his fingers on his left hand with her right hand.
"Whats that?" she wondered.
"I could settle to just waking up with you in my arms every morning if I had too." he said kissing her hand.
"Me too." she said before she wrapped her arms around his neck and began kissing him.
