I love the reviews, guys! Thanks! Oh, and for your information, I'm
speeding things up a bit. It has been about two weeks since Courtney was
kidnapped. She is a little over a month pregnant. Jason is still skeptical
about "Courtney" (Maria). So, that is where the plot is at, for your
people's info! Again, Thanks for all the reviews! ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!
Enjoy!

Chapter 13
When Courtney woke up, she looked at the digital clock on the stand next to the bed and saw that it was mid-morning. She slowly got out of bed and took a hot shower. She let the steam and hot water just run over her body for what seemed to be an hour. All she wanted to do was soak up the heat and drift away to a place where she felt no pain. But sadly, she realized, that would not happen. So she finished the rest of her shower and, and always, when she when back into the main room her breakfast was sitting on the table. She ate it slowly while she thought about the memories of the past two weeks.
Each day had been hell. At first, she was in shock so she hadn't even tried to put up a fight. After that, when she finally realized that she had to do something in order to get out of here, she fought back. When the guards would bring her meals, knock them over with a chair, or break a vase or something to distract them, then she would make a run for it. She had even almost made it out, once. But more guards would always appear, hauling her back to the cabin and locking her there. Finally she decided it was useless. Her attempts at escape were probably hurting the life inside her, she would tell her self. So nowadays she was just a shell that lived through each day with no hurt, no pain, no joy, nothing at all.
And while Courtney was suffering, Maria was preparing to set up the scene of the miscarriage.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It was around noon, and Jason had left a note saying he would be working most of the day. Maria thought that it was about time to stage the miscarriage, so she phoned Janine and told her of the opportunity. They talked it over and came up with a plan:
Janine would supposedly be coming over to visit Courtney after a gambling loss brought her back to Port Charles.
She would "find" Maria "on the floor in pain. After tripping and falling down the stairs" Maria would really just be waiting for Janine to come pick her up.
Janine would drive Maria to Mercy Hospital, because if they figured that if they went to General Hospital they would have too many complications with hiring a fake doctor to proclaim that Courtney had a miscarriage.
Janine and Maria would set them selves up in the hospital room, with the hired Doctor handy.
Janine would phone Jason telling him that she found Courtney on the floor unconscious and that they were at Mercy Hospital.
The rest would happen from there.
So, Janine came to the penthouse and picked up Maria. They drove to Mercy Hospital where the hired doctor (Dr. Smith) was waiting for them. He had brought his "nurse" with him to make the scene more realistic (may I remind you, Janine is paying top dollar for this whole scheme). Maria changed into her hospital gown and took down her hair, making it all messy. She got into the bed and lay there, acting unconscious. Janine took that as the sign to call Jason.
"What?" Came Jason's voice on the other line.
"Jason? It's Janine, Courtney's mother. Listen, I was in town and came to the penthouse to visit my baby today, and, well. . . . When I came in I found her on the floor. She wasn't awake, Jason, but she was still breathing. We're at Mercy Hospital now. I think you should come," Janine said in a very fake, yet very sympathetic voice.
"I'm on my way," Jason said.
When Jason got there, Janine was crying fake tears.
"What's wrong?" Jason said a look of fear in his voice.
"The doctors won't tell me what's wrong," Janine said.
Jason brushed past her and entered Maria room. All these monitors were hooked up to her, and she was breathing silently. Dr. Smith was standing over her, with a clip board in his hand.
"What's wrong with her?" Jason said quietly.
"I assume you are the husband?" Jason nodded, "Well, then Mr. Morgan, I have some upsetting news. Your wife has had a miscarriage. There was nothing we could do. Again, I'm terribly sorry," Dr. Smith said. After that he left the room, leaving Jason standing there.
Jason just stood there for a few minutes, staring at Maria. Then he walked over to Maria's bed and sat down on the little stool. He took her hand and let silent tears stream down his face.
After a few minutes Maria opened her eyes, and saw Jason crying.
"Where am I?" she said, "The last thing I remember was falling down the stairs," she said quietly.
"You're at Mercy Hospital," Jason said quietly.
"Is the baby ok?" Maria said.
After a few minutes of silence Jason said, "You, um, you had a miscarriage."
Maria just looked off into the distance and let tears stream down her face, "I'm sorry," she said, barely a whisper.
"It's not your fault. I should have been there," Jason said. With that he pulled her into an embrace, "I love you."
Maria looked into his eyes, "I love you too."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Back at the cabin, Courtney had no idea of what was going on back in Port Charles. Instead she was reading a book on the couch. She wasn't really paying attention, like always. Her thoughts kept slipping back to memories of her and Jason. The day they first kissed, the day he proposed, the day she found out she was pregnant. All of those days had been so happy, and now she was stuck here, alone. How did this happen to her? She thought to herself. How could I have LET it happen?
But instead of dwelling on those thoughts, she shook them out of her head and started pacing around. She wished she could go outside or at least look outside. Fall was her favorite season, what with the changing of the leaves and the cool breeze that foretold of winter. But the guards wouldn't even let her open the door without getting antsy. It was hopeless.
So she sat back down on the couch and let her mind wander, thinking of all the good times with Jason. After a while of walking down memory lane, Courtney fell into a peaceful sleep.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"We'll have to keep her overnight for observations, Mr. Morgan, but she should be able to go home tomorrow. Again, I'm terribly sorry for your loss," Dr. Smith said. It had been a few hours since Jason had arrived at the hospital, and Maria was sleeping peacefully. Janine had left because she "couldn't bare it." So now it was just Jason.
He walked over to the window that looked into her room, and saw her resting peacefully. All these thoughts were racing through his head. Most of them were memories. He had hoped for this baby so much, and it had vanished in an instant. He walked over to a chair and sat down, putting his head in his hands.
After a while, Maria slowly woke up, remembering that she was at the hospital, and that she had just faked the miscarriage. In some ways she wished she didn't have to do it. Over the past two weeks she had grown quite fond of Jason, and she didn't want to see him hurt. Quickly she realized what she was letting herself think, and reminded herself that she was only doing a job. But, in the back of her mind, there was that little voice of reason telling her that she was doing the wrong thing.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ok, well wadaya guys think? It's not my best work, and I couldn't think of a better way to fake the miscarriage, so I'm sorry if it's kinda sloppy! Anyways, send in your reviews! Enjoy! ~Dawndrina
