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!
