Morning Mayhem

Belle shot up in bed, her eyes darting around the slowly lightening room. Tearing the covers from her body, the little girl jumped from her bed. Smiling, she ran to her parents' door, stepping up onto her tiptoes she reached for the doorknob, turning it quietly. The creak of the floorboard beneath Belle's feet slowly drew Jason from his sleep. Smiling, he listened as Belle slowly crept towards Courtney's sleeping form. Tightening his arms around his wife, Jason patiently awaited Belle making her presence known.

"ITS CHRISTMAS MORNING!" Belle could not hold it in any longer, smiling she jumped up onto her parents bed, her blonde ponytail swinging.  Jason caught the child in mid jump, tickling her mercilessly, while Courtney groaned trying to go back to sleep.

"Mommy, don't you want to come open the gift I got you?" Belle whispered in her mother's ear, watching as her eyes slowly opened.

"Why don't you go down and get Rosie some food, we'll be down in a minute" Jason suggested to Belle, seeing her nod excitedly. The little girl jumped from the edge of the bed, calling Rosie to her side. Smiling, Jason settled back into bed, wrapping his arms around his slowly awakening wife.

"What time is it?" Courtney asked, yawning.

"Just past six"

"I long for the days when she will sleep until 1 in the afternoon" Courtney remarked, almost whimsically.

"I think we have a couple of years before that" Jason responded, chuckling softly.

"So are we going to tell them all today?" Courtney heard the slight whine in Jason's voice and couldn't help the smile that graced her lips.

"Yes I think it's time everyone knew. You just can't wait to play proud papa to another child, can you" Courtney remarked, looking into Jason's eyes that had begun to sparkle.

"After Belle I know we can do no wrong"

"You are just itching to be wearing a 'world's best grandpa' t-shirt, in 20 years, aren't you"

"Babe, I already own the worlds best dad T-shirt so why not aim high for the future" Jason smiled, rising from the bed.

"You're a little too sure of yourself, Mr. Morgan" Courtney commented, laughing softly.

Jason smirked, placing a chaste kiss on her temple before pulling the curtains open, revealing the slowly rising sun. Groaning, Courtney settled deeper into the mattress, shielding her eyes with a pillow. She shot up, hearing a large crash followed by a bark, coming from the lower level.

"Why don't you go check on your daughter" the blonde commented.

"Sure she's my daughter whenever something wrong happens, she inherited your clumsiness" Jason muttered, walking out of the doorway while Courtney sighed, falling back onto the bed.

Belle stared at her feet, watching while Rosie started to lick the milk from around her toes. Clearing his throat, Jason surveyed the scene with a raised eyebrow. He took in the shattered bowl and milk that had splattered around, wincing as he heard a crunch beneath his feet, adding cheerios to the mess inventory. Belle let her lower lip quiver tears pooling in her crystal blue eyes. Sighing, Jason lifted the little girl from the center of the mess, placing her on the kitchen counter.

"What happened?" He asked, eyes sweeping over the mess once more.

"I was trying…" Belle hiccupped through sobs "I wanted to make mommy breakfast because she's always sick in the morning and uncle Sonny says it's because she never eats breakfast" Belle finished, glancing upwards through her thick lashes to see an amused Jason looking back.

"You wanted to make mommy feel better and get her out of bed faster so you could open presents, right?"

The little girl nodded smiling sheepishly, while Rosie splashed through the puddles of milk on the floor.

"How bout we clean this up and go see mommy" Jason suggested.

"So your not mad at me daddy?" Belle inquired, wiping a hand over her cheek to erase the traces of her tears.

Letting out another sigh Jason shook his head. "Nope, but if we don't clean this up mommy might kill me"

Belle was lifted from the counter and placed back onto the floor, to go in search of some cleaning supplies.

Courtney stirred in her sleep, clutching her pillow tightly. A slow smile spreading across her features at the dream that slowly invaded her subconscious.

"Mommy, mommy!" The insistent shaking woke Courtney from her sleep once again. Jason stood at the base of the bed observing silently as his wife pulled the covers back, allowing Belle to snuggle into her chest. The morning sun highlighting their golden hair and glowing smiles.

"So what did you break?" Courtney inquired knowingly, her tone remaining nonchalant.

"A bowl"

"She was worried about you not eating breakfast, she thinks that's why you have been sick" Jason finished, lying down on the opposite side of Belle, while Courtney began to laugh.

"Sweetie your daddy and I have a surprise, sort of like another Christmas present" Courtney announced softly, watching Belle perk up at the mention of gifts.

"Really is it the unicorn I wanted?" She asked excitedly, her blue eyes sparkling hopefully. Shaking her head, Courtney looked towards Jason sharing a secretive smile.

"Sweetie you are gonna have a baby brother or sister soon" Courtney explained, observing as Belle furrowed her brow.

"Why can't I have one now?"

Jason chuckled "Because the baby has to grow in you're mommy's stomach"

"How did it get there?" The little girl questioned; Courtney blanched her eyes going wide and darting towards Jason. Both gaped openly while Belle impatiently awaited a response.

"You know what, I was just dreaming about your fist Christmas on the island" Courtney changed the subject, noting Belle's sudden interest shifting.

"I don't remember" The little girl responded, scrunching her nose as if trying to force the memories from her brain.

"Well you were too little to remember, you hadn't even turned 1 yet" Jason commented.

"You want to hear about it?" He added, seeing her exited nod he let Courtney begin.

"Well it was the day before Christmas eve…

"Courtney come on the planes going to leave without us" Jason yelled up the stairs, running a hand through his hair. Her heels clicked sharply against the floor as she descended the stairs, bouncing Belle on her hip.

"Listen mister, don't you rush me, first of all it's sonny's jet and I know for a fact Carly won't be ready for another hour, so calm down" Courtney stated, scowling while belle giggled, her hand tugging at a lock of her mothers long hair.

"You've become so paranoid in your old age" Courtney muttered beneath her breath, earning a questioning glance from Jason.

"Want to repeat that?" He asked, crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"I said you are getting paranoid in your old age" Courtney replied, speaking slowly so he could catch every word. "Oh and deaf" She added, kicking her duffle bag towards the door.

Belle sucked on her thumb leaning against her mothers shoulder, oblivious to the situation.

"Well then you're a procrastinator" Jason whispered, stuttering slightly, only to receive a chuckle in response.

"Your daddy's silly and lacking in the good come backs department" Courtney whispered in Belles ear, hearing the baby gurgle in response.

"Maybe you could teach me some" Jason walked closer, a mock menacing smile settling upon his features, causing Courtney to back up. Jason advanced waiting until Courtney backed into a corner to make his move. Gripping her waist he dug his fingertips into the material of her sweater; Courtney burst into a stream of fits of laughter. Belle woke slowly, barely aware of her mothers torture.

"Jason stop… Jason" She managed to beg through her laughter.

"Say it" He stated loudly, earning a mock glare.

"No I will not…" Jason continued to mercilessly tickle her "Fine you aren't silly"  The blonde conceded, the tickling continuing despite her words.

"And"

"And you are the best dad in the world" She added, her laughter slowly dying down as his assault ended. Courtney fell into his arms resting her head on his shoulder while Belle still lounged on her side.

"Aren't you guys ready?" Carly inquired, interrupting the quiet scene. Jason and Courtney rolled their eyes at Carly's sudden impatience.

"Jason why don't you help Sonny with the bags" The dark blonde suggested, prompting a glare before he obeyed, walking across the hall.

"So you looking forward to Christmas in a warmer climate?" Courtney nodded, picking up the baby bag to her side.

"Well then sunny skies and crystal clear water here we come" Carly stated dramatically, slipping on a pair of sunglasses and striking a movie star pose before exciting the penthouse.

"Your going to love it there sweetie, I promise" Courtney whispered, brushing a kiss over Belle's fore head.

Carly let out a frustrated scream, dropping her bags with a loud thud. Courtney followed shivering from the cold, her hair and clothes soaked thoroughly from the torrential rain. Glancing around the large villa Courtney felt some of her warmth return. The rain fell heavily against the glass windowpanes, which covered the first floor living room and kitchen. Jason and Sonny dragged a few bags in from the storm, Marco following them with a chatty Michael at his side. Hearing Belle begin to whimper, Courtney drew her closer to her chest. Carly stood over the sink ringing out her soaked shirt; cursing beneath her breath.

"Aunty Courtney" Michael tugged at her shirt, drawing her attention.

"When we put the tree up can I put the star on" The question caught her off guard but she smiled warmly, squatting down to the little boys level.

"Of course you can honey"

"When it stops raining can me and Belle build a sand castle?"

"She's a little too small to build one on her own but we can help you build one"

Michael nodded running off in the other direction, satisfied with the answer.

"So Carly what was it you were saying about blue skies?" A disheveled brunette stated from the doorway, removing her rain-splattered sunglasses.

"Well I'm not the freakin weather channel people and I do have a right to be wrong for once in my life" the dark blonde replied flippantly, the occupants of the room groaning in response.

"Well I'm going to change" Courtney commented, meeting Jason's gaze briefly.

"Ya me too" He added, following her lead.

"Don't take too long we have stuff to do" Sonny called after them, causing Courtney to stop mid-step.

"Michael cover your ears" The little boy did as he was told.

"Actually Sonny we were wondering if you could watch Belle, so me and Jason can have wild and passionate sex for the next few hours" Courtney said seriously, causing her brother to gape in response; Jason stifled his laughter at Sonny's discomfort.

"Eww, come on sis that was just mean, I know you married but eww" The room erupted into laughter at Sonny's disgusted face. Carly patted his shoulder.

"There, there baby at least you know that she doesn't need protection anymore" Sonny looked at his wife in horror, turning as white as sheet at her words.

"You're pure evil" He responded, trying to forget the conversation.

"I know but ya love me for it"

The occupants of the room dispersed, laughing all the way. Michael sat alone in the living room looking around before letting his hands drop from above his ears.

Sighing he shook his head "Grownups" he muttered.

Courtney walked into the bedroom from the on suite bathroom, toweling her hair dry. The balcony windows over looked the crystal blue sea and white sandy beaches; currently being flooded by the storm. Jason was lying on his back across the bed, Belle tucked under his chin, sprawled across his chest. Both slept soundly, peaceful expressions on their faces. Courtney smiled, opening the door at the sound of soft knocking. Carly walked in opening her mouth to speak when her eyes caught Jason and Belle's sleeping figures.

"Aww there so cute, I knew he was going to be a great father" The dark blonde whispered knowingly. Courtney nodded waving Emily into the room as she passed by.

Another aww rushed past her lips at the scene, the women melting into hallmark moment tearful gazes.

Courtney's voice ran off as the door slowly opened. Carly and Emily smiled at them. Jason and Courtney lying with Belle in between them, listening in rapt attention.

"Do you have room for two more?" Carly inquired, waiting until Courtney waved them in. The two women settled at the base of the bed, sitting cross-legged and waiting for the story to continue.

"So then…

"Were almost at my favorite part" Emily interrupted, smiling sheepishly when everyone's gazes fell on her.

"What I'm just saying"

Belle crawled from beneath the covers settling into Carly's lap, allowing Jason to pull Courtney to his chest, his arms wrapping tightly around her waist.

"So as I was saying it was Christmas eve and we were getting ready to decorate the tree…"
