OMG, ever since I started this story, my very bad writers block that I've
had for like, a year, is completely gone! Maybe it's the full moon. So
anyway, here's the next chapter. Another short one, sorry, but keep
reviewing, and I'll keep them coming!
~*~ Chapter 5 ~*~
Two hours later, Courtney opened the door to reveal Max with all of Carly's stuff and Carly with her hands full of groceries.
" I know Jason hardly ate here and that we'd need some food, so I went shopping."
" Thank you! I was just looking through the fridge, and the only thing I found is some old takeout food."
They both went into the kitchen to unpack the food while Max started dragging Carly's stuff upstairs.
" OMG, you got ice-cream! I was just thinking about some!"
" I've been pregnant before, Hun, I know. You know what? Sonny never let's me into the kitchen, so now I finally get to cook sometimes! And don't worry, no matter what anyone says, I'm not that bad of a cook."
After they finished and Max was gone, they settled on the couch to watch a movie, Courtney with a tub of ice-cream and a spoon.
They bonded more than they ever had, whining, crying, complaining, but most of all, laughing. It just felt so good to them to laugh. It sent their troubles away, even if it was only for one night.
~*~
Jason carried his stuff up to the loft and opened the door, looking around. It still looked the same, even with Courtney gone, her feminine touches everywhere. He saw that she had left a picture of them there, left deliberately in the middle of the coffee table. He sat down and picked it up, looking at how happy they had been. It seemed like that had been years ago.
And now she was pregnant. He was finally gonna have a child, and he wasn't allowed to be with them. 'Allowed.' Like they were some teenagers whose parents disapproved of them seeing eachother. Only they weren't teenagers, and it wasn't their parents, it was Sonny. He thought he could protect her, but there was Sonny, always Sonny, reminding him of what could happen, reminding him of what happened to Lily and their child. And Jason couldn't let that happen again. He loved Courtney, and now this baby, more than anything in the world, more than life itself. He had to give this baby a chance to live, a chance to live until they grew old, not die before it even had a chance. And Courtney, Courtney now had the best reason in the world to live. She needed to live to see their child grow up. She needed to be there for every special moment, even if he couldn't.
So he'd continue to stay away. That's what he had to do.
Ok, the next chapter will be moving up the timeline a little bit. And I've decided what I'm gonna make the baby be, but I wanted to see what you guys thought, and if there's a majority and it's not what I chose, I'll change it. So, boy or girl? Please review!
