Okie dokes, guys. I have ANOTHER chapter for this weekend!!! YAY!!! Lol, ok
well, ENJOY!!!
CourtJasnluvr87: Really? I thought Diablo was devil... Hmm. Well anyways, I didn't choose that name for its meaning. I just searched for "Spanish baby names" on google, (please, don't criticize me for this, but I thought that Corinthos was Spanish, so it might be nice to have a name from that culture as the middle name). When I found Diego it said it was "the suplanter." I had no idea what that meant, so I just choose it because it sounded good! =)
By the way, Courtney is now about 3 months pregnant! It's early November in the story!!!
ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Chapter 18
It had been three weeks since little Morgan Diego had been born, and they had been home from the hospital a week. Michael was constantly by his mother's side, helping with the baby, and Courtney was usually somewhere in the room, also helping. Sonny and Jason had had Greg take over the business for a week or too, so that they could be with their wives. Both the Corinthos and Morgan household were filled with everything to do about babies.
Carly was standing over baby Morgan's crib and was smiling and whispering gibberish at him. Courtney was standing near by folding a basket of laundry. She looked at her watch and swore under her breath.
"Hey, Carly, I have to go. I'm already late for my shift at Kelly's," Courtney said apologetically.
"Oh, ok, well, I'll stop by later to see you. Maybe I'll take Michael too to get some hot cocoa," Carly said.
"Thanks," Courtney said as she rushed out the door.
She went to the penthouse, and gave Jason a quick kiss, telling him she would be home later. She raced onto the elevator and finally into the harsh, cold, nippy November air. The sky was heavy with gray clouds and it seemed as if it would snow any minute. She got into her sedan and drove off.
She arrived at Kelly's a little late, but hung her coat up and went behind the counter. Elizabeth was there and seemed to be in a particularly bad mood.
"Hey, Courtney? Maybe for once you should show up on time, or just not come at all," she said snidely.
"Elizabeth, don't make your problems mine. What does it matter if I'm a few minutes late. It's not like this place is thrumming with business," she said, pointing to the tables. Only 2 tables were filled.
"Whatever, just stay out of my way," she said.
"Fine with me," Courtney said.
After 2 hours of working and arguing with Elizabeth, a horrible headache was pounding in her head. She put her fingers to her temple and turned to sit down. She winced at the bright lights and the rushing sound in her ears. Her eye sight had gone splotchy and she squinted.
"I'm leaving," Courtney said as she got up. She staggered a bit, and Elizabeth suddenly looked a bit concerned.
"What's wrong?" she asked slowly.
"It's nothing, just a headache. From arguing with you," Courtney spat back. She was in no mood to stay and chit chat.
"Are you sure you should drive home like this?" Elizabeth said. As much as she disliked Courtney, she didn't want her to be hurt driving home.
"I'll be fine, just leave me alone," Courtney said. She walked to the door and grabbed her things, walking out into the cold.
She dreaded the thought of driving home now. This migraine was unbearable, and it had started to lightly snow, now, too.
She walked to her car and got in. She threw her purse on the other seat and started the car. She backed out and started driving to Harborview Towers.
The pain was hard to bear, and her eyesight was getting worse. She could only see patches of the road here and there. She squinted more, which only seemed to make things worse. The bright snow didn't help at all, either.
The rushing sound in her ears was growing louder, and she closed her eyes for a split second to try and keep her concentration on the road. But a split second was all it took.
She never knew the deer was there. It had been meandering through the road, and although she wasn't driving very fast, it was fast enough. She opened her eyes right before it was too late, and swerved to try and avoid it. The now slicked roads didn't hold the tires, and she went skidding for 10 feet, her foot stomped on the brakes.
She went off the side of the road, and hit a tree.
Her eyes lit up in terror as she saw the tree coming closer. All she could thing about was how stupid she was to drive with a migraine. She had put her and her child in danger, and now, she thought, she would be paying the ultimate price.
The sedan hit the tree head on and the front crumbled into an accordion. Although Courtney had her seatbelt on, she slammed forward, hitting the steering wheel before the airbag had a chance to pop out. Her head and chest filled with horrific pain. She tried to move but it hurt even more. She gave up and slipped into the painlessness of being unconscious.
^*^*^*^
Courtney should be home by now, Jason thought anxiously. She told me she would be home by five o'clock.
It was now six o'clock.
Jason walked across the hall to see if Courtney had called Carly.
A few minutes latter Jason had Carly just as worried as he was.
"Well, I'm sure she's just running late, or stopped to run errands," Carly said, trying to hide her true anxiousness.
"I called her cell. It's not responding," Jason said, staring off into nothing. He had this horrible feeling in his gut that something was wrong.
"Maybe she has it turned off," Carly said, trying to be rational. It wasn't working.
"Carly, you know Courtney doesn't turn off her cell phone. Something is wrong," Jason said, turning to look her in the face, "I'm going to find her."
"Let me come with you," Carly said, worried for her best friend.
"No, you have Michael and a new born. Stay here," Jason said as he turned and left.
He started the S.U.V. and left the parking garage.
He had barely gotten 3 blocks when he caught a glimpse of a car in a ditch. His heart sank; it looked like the car Courtney drove.
He pulled off the road and parked on the side. He jumped out of his car and wiped the snow off of the sedan's driver window. His heart skipped about 10 beats.
He could see blond hair matted with blood against the window. His trembling hands reached out to open the door. The door opened effortlessly and the blond haired woman's body fell out. Jason caught her before she fell all the way, and brushed away the hair to reveal her identity. He gasped.
Courtney's lip was swollen and blood was flowing from a cut on her head. Bruises were scattered across her face and neck. It looked as if she had been dropped face first from a 20 story building.
Jason knelt down and checked her pulse. He let out a large, gratifying sigh. She was alive.
Jason took off his jacket and wrapped it around her body. He gently laid her in his car and ran around to the other side. He hopped in and sped off to the hospital.
*^*^*^*^*^
"Somebody, help!" Jason shouted as he entered the hospital. Immediately nurses came with a gurney. Jason laid Courtney down on it, trying not to cause anymore damage.
"She was in a car accident. She's pregnant," Jason said in a flurry. As they started to roll her away, he followed.
"Sorry, sir. But you can't come, too. She needs to be put into surgery right away," one of the nurses told him.
Jason turned and sat in a chair, his head in his hands.
After a few minutes of trying to think about nothing, Jason whipped out his cell phone.
"Hello?" said Sonny on the other end.
"There's been a car accident. Get to the hospital. Courtney's hurt badly," Jason said.
A few minutes later Sonny and Carly came rushing through the doors.
"Where are Michael and Morgan?" Jason asked.
"They're with Leticia. Jason, how bad is it?" Carly asked.
"She went off the road and hit a tree. She was unconscious when I found her," Jason said wearily. Already it seemed as if it had been hours since they took her into surgery.
Carly and Sonny sat down with Jason for what seemed like hours.
Finally a doctor came out and walked towards them.
"Are you Courtney Morgan's family?" he asked.
"I'm her husband," Jason said.
"Well, she's going to live," the doctor said slowly, "She has a mild concussion and 2 bruised ribs. Her face is ripped up pretty bad, and has about 10 stitches for the cut on her forehead."
Jason sighed. She was going to be alright. But then another thought crossed his mind. What about their baby?
Jason stood up stiffly and looked at the doctor. He seemed weary and sad, yet a little happy at this same time.
"What about the baby?" Jason finally said when he mustered up the courage. He both did and didn't want to know the answer, for in his gut he felt as if he already knew the answer.
