Courtney just looked at Jason and then looked at Nikolas. Nobody seemed to know where to begin that was for sure. Courtney then diverted her attention back over to Jason.
"How do you want to do this?" Courtney asked him.
She tried not to let him hear how pissed she was in her voice.
"It doesn't matter to me." Jason responded back.
Courtney then looked at Nikolas as he shrugged his shoulders. He knew Courtney was going to get irritated by this number.
"Lila!" Courtney yelled as they heard little footsteps and laughter coming this way.
"Yes mommy?" Lila asked walking into the living room and came to a sudden stop.
"We need to talk baby." Courtney said as Lila just looked around and then crept over to Nikolas.
She moved his arms so she could stand between his legs. Lila thought for sure she was in trouble for something and her punishment always seemed lighter if she was sitting with Nikolas when Courtney punished her. Little did she know Courtney wasnt a stupid as her daughter thought.
"You're not in trouble." Courtney said looking at her.
"Im not?" Lila asked her.
Courtney just shook her head no as Lila just looked at her. What could Courtney possibly want with her?
"Can I go play then?" Lila asked.
"In a minute baby. Mommy needs to talk to you." Nikolas said as she nodded her head.
Lila was a very confused little girl. She knew in order to get out of trouble and get what she wanted most of the time she would have to suck up to Nikolas. However when he said to do something she did it. No questions asked.
"Okay. You see how Matthew has daddy Nik as a daddy?" Courtney asked her daughter.
"Yeah." Lila responded back.
"Well Uncle Jason is your daddy." Courtney said.
Lila just got more confused in a split second.
"Is Uncle Sonny my daddy too?" she quickly asked.
"No." Courtney quickly responded as Nikolas tried hard not to laugh.
"Confused?" Courtney asked her.
"Yeah." she said.
Courtney took a deep breath. This was hard and another reason to kill Jason. She wouldnt be going through this if he just came the hell back to town.
"Um okay. You know how Molly has Uncle Sonny as a daddy and Uncle Ric as a daddy?" Courtney asked her.
"Yeah. So Uncle Ric is my daddy too?" she asked.
"Honey no. Listen to mommy okay?" Courtney asked her.
"Okay." Lila responded back.
"Molly has two daddies right." Courtney asked her.
"Yeah." Lila said.
"Okay. Same with you. You have Uncle Jason who is your daddy and then you have daddy Nik." Courtney said looking at her.
"Well what about Matthew. Is Uncle Jason his daddy too?" Lila asked.
"No sweetie. Matthew just has one daddy." Courtney replied.
"But why? Why do I have two?" she just didn't quiet get it.
"Because your special." Courtney said.
"Well mom! I know that!" Lila said as Jason and Nikolas laughed.
Courtney was now getting frustrated.
"Okay honey. Just do this. That is your father and this is your daddy Nik. Okay?" Courtney asked Lila.
"Okay." Lila said looking at her.
"Can I go play?" She asked Courtney.
Courtney shook her head no.
"Daddy Nik. Can I go play?" She asked looking at him with her sad face.
"Mommy said no baby." Nikolas replied back to her.
"Father! Can I go play?" Lila asked Jason.
He just smiled and a part of him wanted to tell her go ahead. Have fun. But he knew Courtney would then kill him.
"Lila we arent done." Courtney said looking back at her.
"Mom!" Lila said.
"At." Courtney replied.
Lila didn't say anything but just folded her arms as she huffed.
"Want to go straight to bed after you bath?" Courtney asked her.
"No." Lila replied.
"Alright then. You may play when we are finished." Courtney said as Lila didn't even bother turning her head to face her mother.
"Okay now that, that is settled. We need to talk about visitations and such." Courtney said.
"Let her go play." Nikolas said looking at Courtney.
She just shot Nikolas a look and he knew what it meant.
"Courtney she doesn't need to be around that. You told her what was important. Yes the visitation will contain her but that's really between you and Jason. When you's are done then you can explain it to her." Nikolas said as Courtney looked at him.
"Whatever." Courtney simply said pissed off at Nikolas as he rolled his eyes.
"Go play baby." Nikolas said to Lila.
"Okay!" She said as she ran into the other room.
Courtney didn't say anything and neither did anybody else.
"Well how do you want to do this?" Courtney asked Jason.
"Whatever if fine for me." he said looking at her.
"Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays one week and Tuesdays and the weekend the next week?" Courtney asked him.
"Dont you think you should take it a little slow?" Nikolas asked Courtney.
"It's her father!" Courtney replied to him.
"Today was the first time she has ever seen him Courtney!" Nikolas responded back.
"I know what I'm doing. This is my daughter after all." Courtney said looking back at him.
"Whatever." Nikolas replied back to her.
Jason didn't say anything. He could tell that the two of them would defiantly be arguing when he was gone later.
"Is that okay with you?" Courtney asked Jason.
"Yeah. What time?" Jason asked her.
"Whatever time is fine for you unless something comes up." Courtney said looking at him.
"Okay." Jason replied back.
"Lila!" Courtney yelled again as it took a minute before hearing little footsteps coming towards this way. However they stopped and a cried was now heard.
All three adults jumped up to see what happened. When they walked out of the room Lila was on the floor bawling tears.
"Awww baby come here." Courtney said lifting her up to comfort her.
"It's okay. What hurts?" Courtney asked her.
"My knee." she said in between sobs.
"What happened?" Matthew asked running into the hallway.
"Your sister fell." Nikolas replied.
"Ooh." was all he could say.
Nikolas got up and walked away to go get some ice for her knee. When he returned Lila's eyes had stopped crying the tears but were really red as she continue to sniffle.
"I'll carry her to the living room." Nikolas responded back as he lifted the little girl from Courtney's arms.
Courtney sat down on the couch as Nikolas placed Lila on her lap. He then placed the ice pack on her knee that was badly scratched. Courtney pushed her hair out of her face as Lila just looked at her.
"Hey." Courtney said looking down at her daughter.
"Mmm?" Lila asked Courtney.
"You want to go with daddy tomorrow?" Courtney asked her.
"Which one?" Lila asked.
"Your father." Courtney replied.
"I guess." Lila responded.
"Go to the park and get something to eat?" Courtney asked her as Lila nodded her head.
"What time do you want to pick her up tomorrow?" Courtney asked Jason.
"I guess twelve. I have nothing to do that way she can be home for dinner." Jason replied.
"Okay." Courtney said back as she looked down and Lila had fallen asleep.
"Im going to say bye to Matthew and then head out." Jason said as he stood up.
"Okay." Courtney replied as she watched him leave the room.
Courtney looked over in Nikolas's direction as she could tell he was pissed off. He just shook his head as she got irritated.
"What?!" Courtney asked him.
"Did I say anything?" He asked her.
"No but I see you over there!" Courtney exclaimed.
"And?" Nikolas asked her as she rolled her eyes.
"I'll see you tomorrow. Nice seeing you again Nikolas." Jason said before walking out of the house.
"Im going to lay her down." Courtney said as she carried Lila to her room.
"Matthew!" Nikolas yelled.
"Yes?" Matthew asked as he walked into the room.
"Clean up. You need to get your bath." Nikolas replied as Matthew nodded his head and made his way back to the play room.
Later that night:
"Hey!" Jason said to the brunette. She quickly turned around.
"Hey! You're back!" she said in shock.
"Yeah." he responded back.
"So have you seen-" she began to say.
"Yes I have seen my daughter. That's the first person I wanted to see when I got back to town Robin." Jason said.
"Oh well that's good. Im surprised it's not Sonny." Robin said as he just looked at her.
"You're not funny." he replied.
"So have you and Courtney talked?" Robin asked curiously.
"Yup I left Wynderemere a little over an hour ago. Before her and Nikolas got to arguing too bad." Jason said.
Robin just looked at him.
"You seem rather happy about that." Robin stated.
"Happy about what?" Jason asked her.
"Look. Jason. These past three years, ever since you left, have been hard on Courtney and Nikolas and if you think by coming back into town that causing problems between her and Nikolas will drive Courtney back to you Im asking as your friend dont do it." Robin said.
Jason just looked at Robin.
"Look. If you want to be with Courtney let her come to you. Dont cause problems that will make her run to you. I get it that you love her but so does Nikolas and with Lila being born and not thinking she could have another one after her and now she's almost six months pregnant I mean Jason. They have been through hell and back and then back again when they thought Emily was pregnant with Nikolas's baby." Robin said.
"Emily was pregnant?" Jason asked Robin.
"Yeah. She had a little boy who's almost two months younger then Lila. Her baby's daddy is somebody she met when she first moved to the west. When she found out she was pregnant she wasnt sure who was the daddy until she was four months." Robin replied.
Silence came over the friends.
"I love her Robin and I didn't realize how much until I saw her today with that rock on her finger." Jason said back to her.
"What the hell is your problem!?" Courtney yelled at him.
"My problem?" Nikolas asked her back.
"You're the only other person in the room!" Courtney stated.
"I'm the one with a problem! If I didn't know any better your not as mad at Jason as you put on!" Nikolas said.
"What?" Courtney asked him confused.
"You know what? Never mind. You are never going to get what Im trying to say." Nikolas replied giving up.
Arguing with his over hormonal wife was so not on the to do list tonight.
"Whatever." Courtney said before walking away.
"Where the hell are you going?" Nikolas asked after her.
"You know what. I dont know and right now I dont care as long as Im not with you!" Courtney said before turning around and walking out.
A minute later Nikolas heard the front door shut. Just great he thought. He called her as it rang then clicked meaning she was on the other line but with who?
"Hello?" the voice said.
"Hey. Where you at?" Courtney asked over the phone.
"Um on my way home." Jason said as he looked at Robin.
"Okay. I'll meet you there." Courtney said before she hung up.
"Im going." Jason said looking at Robin with a smile.
"Jason listen. I know I cant make you do anything you dont want too. Only Sonny can but I want you to take a moment to think about. Think about all the pros, cons and then think about Matthew, Lila and this unborn baby." Robin said looking at him as he just looked back at her without saying anything.
Robin watched him walk away and get on the elevator as she stood up. Port Charles had enough problems that was for sure and Jason being back and determined to get Courtney back just added to them...
