Chapter 17
After two days of painting, repainting, buying furniture, and so on, Carly and Courtney sat down with a boll of popcorn on the couch, exhausted.
"Isn't this great," Carly said, popping a few pieces of popcorn into her mouth, "Two pregnant ladies pigging out on popcorn. Sonny would kill me if he saw!"
Courtney laughed, "Hey, at least its popcorn, right? That's corn, so it's a vegetable. Sonny couldn't be mad!"
As they both laughed at that last remark, Jason and Sonny came in quietly. Courtney and Carly didn't notice.
"Yea, I bet that if Sonny saw us he would throw a fit and then cook us some, beef, and broccoli, and 'healthy' stuff!" Carly said, throwing a few more pieces of popcorn into her mouth.
Jason and Sonny didn't say anything and just watched quietly.
"I swear, those men sometimes act as if they're the ones pregnant!" Courtney said, "Men are not meant to handle this type of thing!"
"Of course they are, and that's why WE are the ones carrying the babies!" Carly said, and they both laughed some more, until Carly turned to look at the time, and saw Sonny and Jason standing there. Suddenly the urge to laugh left her body completely.
After a second or two, Courtney realized Carly was staring at the door, behind her, and Courtney stopped laughing, too. She turned around and saw the two guys standing there.
Sonny walked over and sat down between Carly and the popcorn, taking a few pieces for himself.
"So you think we can't handle the stress of carrying children?" Sonny asked, teasingly.
"Well, um, no..!" Carly said, a large smile forming on her face.
"Well, you're wrong. I can handle it. But now, you need to go home and rest," Sonny said, a playful yet serious tone in his voice.
Sonny and Carly left, leaving Jason still standing at the door, now smiling.
Courtney walked over and put her arms around his waist, and gave him a kiss.
"We finished the nursery," Courtney said, "Would you like to see it?"
"Let's go," Jason said and he turned and led her up the stairs.
They walked down the hall to the baby's room, and Jason opened the door. He brought Courtney in and closed the door, without turning on the lights.
He then slowly turned the lights up, and for the first time saw the nursery.
The walls were painted a soft purple, with a little white paint splattered all around. There was a pattern of the ABC's going around the top of the walls, and on the ceiling were dozens of tiny, yellow stars.
The floor was a plain, vanilla white, although there was a large yellow rug in the shape of a star on the floor. The crib was white, the changing table was purple, and the dresser was yellow, to match the theme of the room. In one corner by the crib, there was a nice, furnished oak rocking chair, complete with yellow and white checkered cushion.
"Do you like it?" Courtney said, "I tried not to make it too fluffy, and pretty, but I guess I couldn't help myself. We can repaint it if you don't like it."
Jason turned around and stared at her with those brilliant blue eyes, "I love it. It's perfect."
"You really think so?" Courtney said, a smile forming on her face.
"Yes," Jason said. He pulled Courtney close and then gave her a long, passionate kiss.
Courtney pulled away after what seemed to be ten years and said, "I love you so much."
"I love you, too," Jason said softly.
"I'm tired," Courtney said yawning, "I'm going to go to sleep. Is there any chance that you'd be able to join me?"
"Yea, Sonny gave me tomorrow off. I told him about the whole deal with Maria. He was really angry, but now isn't so much. I guess he realized it was more of my place to deal with, seeing as to how you are my wife." Jason said, smiling at the last part.
"What do you mean by deal with?" Courtney said.
"Well, Sonny wanted to make Janine disappear, but I said she wasn't worth the effort. And besides, my wife and child are back now, that's the only thing that matters." Jason said honestly.
"Thank you," Courtney said, tears forming in her eyes.
"For what?" Jason said.
"For everything," Courtney said, a small smile on her face, and one lone tear making its wake down her face.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Only a few hours after they had fallen asleep, Courtney suddenly awoke to a loud, rapid knock on the door. She put on her robe and slippers and trotted down the stairs, still half asleep.
She opened the door, only to see Sonny fully dressed.
"Sonny, what are you doing here at this hour?" Courtney said, her voice cracking quietly.
Sonny's face was overlain with worry and excitement, "Carly's gone into labor. Meet us at the hospital."
With that he turned around and left, going to the open elevator. Courtney turned around also and rushed up the stairs, going three at a time. By this time Jason had already awoken, and was staring at Courtney concernedly.
"Carly's gone into labor. We have to go to the hospital," Courtney said, rushing to the closet. She pulled out a random pair of jeans and a sweater, and put on her favorite pair of comfy shoes.
She raced down the stairs to see Jason standing by the door with his jacket on, holding out Courtney's purse and jacket.
She grabbed them quickly and they headed out the door.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Courtney and Jason arrived at the hospital and asked for the room for Carly. The got to it and waited outside, sitting in the sanitized plastic chairs.
Sonny came out from within, completely clad in scrubs, including the little booties.
"How is she?' Courtney asked.
"She's doing well. Her water broke, it's the real deal. Her contractions and going well," Sonny said, his face showing lines of many sleepless nights.
"SONNY!" Carly's screaming voice came from behind the door. Sonny turned around and disappeared through the door.
After that, for an hour nobody came from inside the room. Courtney and Jason sat waiting anxiously in silence.
Finally, the doctor came out with a nurse.
"This baby isn't waiting much longer. Get an incubator ready, this is a 3 week preemie," the doctor said to the nurse, who nodded and rushed off down the hall. The doctor sighed and turned to leave, but noticed Courtney and Jason sitting in silence.
"Are you part of Carly's close family?" the doctor after wearily.
"Um, yes, I'm her sister-in-law and this is my husband," Courtney said quietly.
"Well, just to let you know, Carly is doing fine. I'm sure you heard me say that this is going to be a premature baby. But don't worry, three weeks in nothing compared to 2 months, for example. The incubator is just for safety precautions, "the doctor said.
"Thanks," Courtney said, and the doctor turned and entered the room.
After another two hours, the baby still hadn't arrived yet, and nobody was telling Courtney and Jason what was going on.
Finally Sonny came out, a proud look on his face.
"It's a boy," he said happily, "Morgan Diego Corinthos."
Courtney looked at Jason, who was smiling.
"Are we allowed to come in now?" Courtney asked meekly.
"Yea, yea. Of course," Sonny said, ushering them in.
Carly looked up to see who was at the door. Her hair was all sweaty and matted to her head, and she was pale and looked exhausted. Yet she was radiating with happiness. Little Morgan Diego was asleep in her arms.
"Hey, guys," she said smiling.
Courtney walked over and sat next to the bed.
"He looks so peaceful," she said quietly.
"Would you like to hold him?" Carly asked.
"Of course," Courtney said. She stood up and reached out for Morgan. She took him in her arms and cradled him nicely in the little nook her arms made. She crooned soft noises to him and then looked at Jason, Sonny, and Carly.
"He's beautiful," she said, handing Morgan back to Carly.
"I know," Carly said, smiling, "And he's also a lucky little fellow."
"Why's that?" Courtney asked.
"Because he has the best god-parents ever. That is, if you two will accept," Carly said, looking from Courtney to Jason.
Courtney took one glance at Jason and instantly saw how honored he felt, "We would love too!"
"Good, then. Everything is perfect, Carly said.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Many hours later, Courtney and Jason returned home to the penthouse. They climbed up the stairs and put back on their pajamas.
"That was incredible," Courtney said as they climbed under the covers. She scooted over to Jason's body and molded to fit his form.
Jason absently stroked her hair, "Yea, it really was."
"Soon enough that will be us in the delivery room," Courtney said, smiling at the thought of finally having a family with Jason.
"It couldn't come soon enough," Jason said. He kissed the top of Courtney's head and leaned over to turn off the light. Not long after that Jason and Courtney were both fast asleep, dreaming of the future and the many happy things to come.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^
