I'm so sorry it took so long to update, but this week has been totally crazy, and earlier when I sat down at the computer, I had no inspiration at all, so I talked to my best friend about how to start the chapter and took a long bubble bath, and now I feel ten times better and a little more like writing. So anyway, here's the next chapter, more happy Journey ( I don't know about you guys, but I could never get sick of happy Journey). I'll try to update again tomorrow. Enjoy and review!

~*~ Chapter 14 ~*~

Courtney slowly opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Jason walk in with a tray of pancakes, topped with whipped cream and strawberries, and some milk.

" Good morning, Beautiful."

" Good morning. Ooh, you ordered breakfast. I'm starving."

" I figured you would be."

" What time is it?"

" 10:30."

" Why'd you let me sleep so late?"

" Because you needed it. And I was just about to wake you anyway."

Jason sat down on the bed and set the tray in her lap.

" Dig in."

" I want you to feed me."

Jason rolled his eyes as he began to feed her.

" Mmmm, that is so good. So, what are we doing today?"

" What would you like to do?"

" I wanna go to the casino!"

" Sounds good, but I must warn you, I'm very good at gambling."

~*~

Three hours later, a smiling Courtney and a grumbling Jason walked back into the suite. Courtney laughed at Jason's pouting.

" So, Mr. ' I'm very good at gambling,' how is it that I just won $2,000, and you lost $600?"

" They totally set up the games so you'd win."

" You're such a poor sport."

" It's true! They know you're Sonny's sister."

" And they know you're Sonny's best friend. Just admit, I totally rock."

" Fine, you're better than me at gambling."

" Thank you. It's only 2:30, what should we do now?"

" How about we go to the beach?"

" But I'm huge! People are gonna mistake me for a whale."

" They will not. Come on, it'll be fun. We can swim, or just lay in the sun."

" Ok, let me get ready."

~*~

Courtney walked down to the beach carrying a blanket, while Jason struggled behind with a cooler, an umbrella, and a beach bag.

" Seriously, Courtney, did we really need to bring all this stuff?"

" Hey, you made me come down here."

" I didn't make you."

" Don't argue with me, I'm pregnant," she said, laughing at him.

They finally found a perfect spot and Jason set up the blanket and the umbrella. They settled down and Jason put sunscreen on Courtney.

" Wanna go swimming?" Jason asked.

" Nah, I just wanna lie in the sun for awhile."

" Ok, but you're going swimming with me later."

" You wanna bet?"

" Sure," he said, picking her up and walking into the water.

" Jason, put me down!"

" Ok," he said, dropping her into the water.

" Oh my gosh, you did not just do that!"

" You said to put you down!"

She glared and then splashed him, prompting a full out water fight until Jason grabbed her wrists and pulled her into a kiss.

" So, am I forgiven?"

" Yes," she answered, pulling him in for another kiss.

" I can't believe the week went by so fast," Courtney said as the plane began descending into Port Charles.

" I know. But we'll go back again after the baby is born."

" And maybe Carly and Sonny will come too."

" Speaking of them, are we gonna tell them we're engaged right away? Because about 5 minutes after you tell Carly, she'll have the whole wedding planned, and we don't know exactly how Sonny is gonna react."

" I know, but I figure we should just get it over with. I'll get Carly to calm down with the wedding plans, since we agreed to get married a few months after the baby is born, and I think Sonny is doing better with the fact that we're together."

" Ok, so we'll tell them tonight."

Jason and Max were taking the rest of the luggage into the penthouse when Carly came running out into the hall.

" Hey you guys! How was your trip? Did you have fun? Courtney, you look so tan! Oh, I missed you guys!"

" Carly, we were only gone a week!" Jason said, carrying the last of the bags upstairs.

" I know Jason, but you two are my closest friends, I was lonely without you both!" she said, hugging Courtney.

Suddenly, she grabbed Courtney's hand.

" Why is the ring on your left hand? Omigod! You guys are engaged, aren't you?!"

" You don't miss anything, do you Carly?" Courtney asked.

" We were going to come over after we got settled to tell you," Jason said, walking back down the stairs.

" Sorry I ruined the surprise."

" We still gotta tell Sonny," Courtney replied.

" Tell Sonny what?" Sonny asked, walking in the door.

Jason and Courtney greeted Sonny.

" Um, ok, I guess there's really no better time for this," Courtney said, taking a deep breath, " Jason and I are engaged."

Sonny stared at them both for a minute, then smiled.

" Congratulations you guy."

Both Jason and Courtney let out the breath they had been holding.

" You're not upset?" Courtney asked.

" I knew it would happen eventually. I know now that you two are gonna be together no matter what, and I've learned to accept it."

Courtney smiled at Sonny and pulled him in for a hug, a sign that she was letting some of her hatred go.

Ok, I think that chapter kinda sucked, but oh well. I'll try to update again tomorrow. 3 ya 2 bits!
