Sorry this took so long to update, I was busy all day yesterday and I had to baby-sit from six to midnight, and then today I had to go to the mall to get a present for my best friend because her birthday's coming up, so I've been kinda busy. It might take me another day or two to update again, but I'll try to post chapter 13 tonight. Anyway, I've decided to be nice, and the rest of this story should mostly be happy Journey ('cause the show's kinda ticking me off with unhappy Journey). Now on with the chapter!

~*~ Chapter 12 ~*~

" Jason, you can put me down now, really."

" The doctor said no stress."

" Since when does walking up the stairs to my bedroom cause me stress?"

" Hey, it's nice to hold you in my arms like this. Besides, we're already at the top," Jason said, setting Courtney gently on her feet.

" Good, I can't wait to climb into my own bed. That is, if you're there too."

" Of course."

" Now that Carly's moved back in with Sonny, we have the whole place to ourselves until the baby is born."

" Speaking of the baby, I have a surprise for you."

" Ooh, what is it?"

" You have to close your eyes."

Courtney pouted a little but did what she was told. He led her to a door and opened it quietly.

" Ok, open your eyes."

Courtney gasped as she took in the sight of the room. The walls had been painted light pink, with the teddy bear boarder around the top of the room. A white crib was in the middle of the room, both the bedding and the mobile matching the boarder. There was also a changing table, a dresser and a rocking chair. Courtney blinked back tears.

" I hope you don't mind that we did this, but the doctor said no stress, so I knew you wouldn't really be able to work on it, and I thought it'd be a nice surprise, but if you don't like it..."

" Are you kidding? I love it! Oh, Jason, it's beautiful! How did you get all this done? I was only in the hospital for three days!"

" I asked Carly for help. She knew what you wanted and basically took over to make sure it was perfect."

" It is perfect! I love it, and I love you."

They began to kiss when they heard a knock at the door.

" I'll get it," Courtney said.

" I'll get it, you need your rest."

" I'm fine. Besides, I wanna see how many times you'll carry me up the stairs before you finally give up," she said, laughing at him as she walked down the stairs.

She opened the door to reveal Carly.

" Hey, Max just told me you got home. How are you?"

" I'm fine. Jason just showed me the nursery, it looks absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much!"

" Hey, it was the least I could do! You've had to put up with me for a few months now, so I thought I'd give you something in return. And hey, don't give me all the credit, it was Jason's idea."

" Well, whoever the credit goes to, it looks great."

" I expect nothing less for my niece. Anyway, I'm supposed to be helping Michael with a school project, so I'll see you guys tomorrow."

Courtney closed the door behind her.

" Ok, now I wanna go back upstairs."

" So what are you waiting for?"

" You to carry me, remember? You're my new personal elevator."

Jason rolled his eyes and picked her up, carrying her up the stairs and into the bedroom, setting her on the bed.

" I hope you don't get too used to this."

" I'll try not to. So, anyway, where were we?"

They began to kissing again, slowly growing more passionate.

" Courtney, should we be doing this? I don't want to hurt the baby."

" We won't, I already asked the doctor."

" You're sure?"

" Yes," she said, capturing he lips again as they fell back onto the bed.
Ok, like I said before, I'll try to get the next chapter up tonight. Please review, 3 ya!
