Two months after last chapter:
It was now Thursday. One day closer to the end of the week. Courtney tried finding her cell phone. Her and Jacob was running just a tad late today for work and preschool.
"Jacob!" Courtney yelled as she walked out of her bedroom.
"Yeah?" he said peeking his head out of his bedroom.
"Get your coat on baby. Let's go." she replied as he nodded his head yes as she ran down the stairs.
She heard this loud buzzing coming from the couch.
"What in the?" she wondered as she walked over to it.
Sure enough it was what she was looking for. Her cell phone. It was ringing and she quickly pushed her hand in between the cushions so she could get it before she had a missed call. It could have been important.
"Ugh it's only Patrick." she said pulling it out of the couch and looking down at it.
"Hello?" she said not really wanting to talk to him but had no choice really.
"What are you doing?" he asked her.
"Going to work. Why?" she wondered.
"I have news. You can chose if its good or bad." he said.
"Ugh what is it?" she asked curiously.
"I have to go to this surgeon's convention this weekend in Fiji." He replied.
"Okay and?" she didn't know how any of that pertained to her.
"Do you want to go with me?" he asked her.
"What about Jacob?" she asked back as Jacob began walking down the steps with his jacket on.
"Well he would come too of course." he responded.
The other line was still silent.
"Listen I know we haven't had a chance to get to the Bahamas yet but I promise we will go soon." he said breaking the silence.
"Okay. When we leave?" she asked.
"Tonight." he replied.
"Tonight?!" She questioned.
"Thats not a problem is it?" he said as she rolled her eyes.
Men!
"No not at all but listen Im trying to get Jacob to preschool and then I need to get to work so I can go to my doctor's appointment at two." she said as her and Jacob began walking towards the car.
"Why do you have a doctor's appointment?" Patrick asked her.
"Check up maybe." she said into the phone.
"Oh okay. Well I love you and I will see you later." je replied.
"Love you too." she said before hanging up and opening the door for the little boy to get in.
She dropped Jacob off at the preschool and went ahead on to work. Just when she thought she would make some kind of progress today her stomach turned upside down as she ran to the bathroom to see the breakfast Patrick made her again this morning. Courtney flushed the toilet as she brushed her teeth and then walked back into her office as her secretary was standing there.
"Yes?" Courtney asked wondering why she was getting a weird look.
"Um Rose is on line two for you." The secretary stated.
"Who's on line one?" Courtney wondered.
"Patrick." she said as Courtney rolled her eyes.
What did he want now? She wondered as she hit the second line first.
"Hello?" Courtney asked as she picked the phone up.
"Hey Courtney. Its Rose. Listen I think I found a good home for Jacob." Rose stated over the phone.
"What?" Courtney asked as this came to a shock to her.
"Well there is this couple who want to adopt him." Rose said.
"Are they sure?" Courtney asked her.
"Yes." Rose said knowing Courtney was going to take it pretty hard.
After all the little boy had been staying with her for months now.
"Listen I know you and Jacob are close so if you want to wait a few days then we can do that." Rose replied.
"Um yeah let's do that. Patrick and I wanted to take him to the beach this weekend." Courtney replied.
"Okay. If you have any questions let me know." Rose stated.
"Okay no problem. Thanks for everything." Courtney said before hanging up.
She took a deep breath in and exhaled not sure exactly what she was going to do. It wasnt until now that she realized just how badly she was attached to the two and a half foot, blue eyes, dirty blonde hair little boy. She held back tears as it then hit her that Patrick was on line one.
"Hello?" She said clicking onto the phone as she lifted it back up to her ear.
"Hey! Wait whats wrong?" Patrick asked her.
"Nothing. Whats up?" She asked him.
"Well I got out of work early and I was wondering if you wanted me to pick Jacob up and go home to start packing." he said into the phone.
"Um yeah that'll be great." She said as a tear fell.
"Are you sure you are okay?" he asked her over the phone.
"Yeah fine listen I need to go. I will talk to you later." she said trying to get off the phone.
"Okay. I love you." he said before hanging up.
Something was wrong. Really wrong but over the phone wasnt the place to press the issue that was for sure. Courtney finished up what needed to be done and before she knew it, it was already one thirty. She grabbed her things and rushed out the door so she wouldnt be late for her doctors appointment at two.
"Hello Ms. Matthews." Dr. Meadows said.
"Hello." Courtney said back to her.
"I heard your divorce from Jax is final. I dont know wether to say sorry or congrats." She said as they walked back to the exam room.
"Congratulations." Courtney said with a hint of laughter.
The divorce was final last month. Jax decided to move back to Australia with Liz so she could have the baby without Lucky and his latest beau Maxie. Liz had too much stress on her and the odds of her miscarrying was getting greater and greater everyday and as much as Jax likes to make people annoyed his child was his first priority.
"Okay so we are doing a regular check up today correct?" Dr. Meadows asked her.
"Correct." Courtney said as they walked into the exam room.
Dr. Meadows did her thing making sure everything was good.
"Im going to run this to lab and it'll be about twenty minutes before I get anything back os if you want to wait you can and if not I can call you if theres anything irregular." Dr. Meadows said looking at her.
"Call me." Courtney said looking at her.
"Okay. Will do. See you later." the doctor said as she walked out of the room.
Courtney got dressed and walked out of the room and down to the parking garage. She drove home and walked in the house seeing Jacob playing with all his trains. He looked up at her and smiled as she smiled back at him as he wrapped his tiny arms around her.
"Hey!" he said with excitement.
"Hey. Were you good today?" she questioned.
"Yes! I know my abc's!" he exclaimed with excitement.
"Okay tell me them!" she said as he smiled and sung his abc's.
"Good job baby! Where's Patrick?" She asked him.
"He up stairs!" Jacob exclaimed nodding his head.
"Okay." Courtney said as she walked up the steps.
She stood in the door way and watched him before he looked up at her. He was wearing his glasses. Something he didn't wear much.
"What?" he asked flashing his dimples at her.
She just shook her head no.
"Did he sing you his abc's?" Courtney asked him.
"Yes he did! All the way home to be exact." Patrick said walking over to her.
Courtney felt tears burn her eyelids as Patrick wrapped his arms around her.
"Whats wrong?" Patrick asked her.
"Rose called. She has a home for him." Patrick wasnt exactly sure what to say.
"Can we still go away for the weekend?" Patrick asked her as she nodded her head yes.
"Then we will go away and spend what time we have left with Jacob." he said into her ear.
"Okay." she said in a whisper.
"Alright. Pack! The sooner you get done the sooner we leave." Patrick said with a smile on his face.
"Okay." She said as she broke away and began packing.
They board the plane and took off as Jacob fell right asleep.Patrick could tell how badly this was bothering Courtney that after this weekend Jacob would no longer be with them. He knew anything he said wouldnt change the fact that she was hurting as he squeezed her hand and then kissed it as she smiled at him.
As the got off the plane they drove to the hotel and settled in.
"Want to go down to the beach later?" Patrick asked her with a smile.
"Why yes! I would love too." she said smiling at him as he placed the bag on the bed.
"Thank you." she said as she dug through to find her bathing suit.
Courtney got dressed while Patrick put on his trunks and got Jacob into his swimmie and then into his tigger trunks. She grabbed the bag with sun block and towels as well as a few toys for Jacob as they made their way down to the beach.
Jacob didnt like the water as much but he loved the sand as he played with all the sand toys. Courtney looked over at Patrick and smiled as he smiled back at her. She placed a kiss upon his lips and continued to smile. Life couldnt get any better then this.
Around nine that night Patrick hired the young girl at the front desk to keep an eye out on Jacob while he took Courtney out for the night.
"Ready?" Patrick asked her.
"Yup." she said as she grabbed his hand.
She wore an orange sun dress with her brown strappy sandles and her other bathing suit underneath because Patrick said too. They ate dinner at the nearby grill as a band played.
"I love you." she said grabbing his hand.
"Not as much as I love you." he said back.
"Oh really?" she questioned him.
"Really." he said back to her.
"We will see about that." she said before getting up from the table and walking away.
He quickly threw down enough money to cover the bill and a tip and followed her.
"Where are you going?" he asked her.
"You'll see. Follow me." she replied as she grabbed his hand and continued to walk.
They walked until they reached the beach.
"Get undressed!" she exclaimed as he laughed.
"You dont have to tell me twice." he exclaimed as he started to strip.
"Leave your swimming trunks on!" she said knowing what he had in mind.
"I thought we were going to be spontaneous and go skinny dipping?" he asked.
"No! I dont feel like going to jail tonight." she said as she put her hands on her hips while standing in her two piece black bikini.
He quickly smiled and picked her up and ran with her in the water. She laughed. When the water got abou knee high on Patrick he stopped and looked at her. She wrapped her arms around his neck while looking down at him and crashing her lips upon his and kissed him hard before wrapping her legs around his waist.
When she pulled away he just looked in her blue eyes as they sparkled like the stars that night. He smiled before walking back to the sand and laying her down on beach as he began to kiss her. She rolled over and placed him on the bottom as she began kissing down his chest.
"What happened to not wanting to go to jail?" he asked her before placing her on back on the sand.
"Yeah well I changed my mind about a lot of things today." she said with a smile.
"Really? Like what?" he wondered.
"Like I want to marry you like now. Not down the road." she said with a smile as he flashed his dimples at her and started kissing her.
