Carly grabbed Jaime's arm, pulling her from the doorway and towards the open lobby. The red head attempted to pull loose from the iron tight grip, digging her heels into the floor, to stop her body's involuntary movement. Carly only pulled the girl along harder, knowing she was probably bruising Jaime's arm, but choosing not to care. Finally, Carly stopped, pressing the elevator button insistently, tapping her nails on the wall impatiently.

"Let go of me you psychopath" Jaime spoke through gritted teeth, trying once again to get free from Carly's vice like grip. Elizabeth walked to Jaime's side, only to have Carly grab her arm. The dark blonde holding both girls in place with little effort. When the metal doors finally slid open, Carly threw the two women inside, Watching in amusement, as they struggled to stay upright, from the force of the push. Liz began to pout rubbing her arm, while Jaime glared at Carly.

"Bye bye girls, don't come back, if you do I'll push through these elevator doors, whether it's reached this floor or not" The dark blonde smiled at the women, waving as the doors closed. Rolling her eyes in disgust, Carly turned to see Sonny desperately trying to hold in his laughter.

"Impressive, why didn't I hire you as a bodyguard?" Sonny inquired, smiling, earning a whack in the chest from his wife. Carly threw herself into a nearby chair watching Sonny come to her side, still chuckling softly.

"You don't think what she is saying could be true, do you?" Carly looked at Sonny questioningly.

"I don't know you have to ask Jason"

"Courtney can't know she's been through too much" Carly stated, sighing as the days tumultuous events ran through her mind.

"Could you maybe… oh I don't know distract Courtney while I grill… I mean ask Jason very nicely for the truth?" The dark blonde requested, smiling innocently up at her husband, whose resolve had already begun to fade.

"Fine but Jason tells Courtney the truth, whatever it may be" Sonny replied, watching Carly nod.

Courtney glanced up at the ceiling counting the endless rows of white tiles, trying to focus on something other then telling Jason. She shifted her body pulling out of the embrace, as Carly and Sonny came to the doorway. Waving her hand to signal they could come in, Courtney settled back into the chair by Jason bedside.

"How is he?" Sonny whispered, walking to his sisters side placing a hand on her shoulder.

"He's okay, he woke up a while ago and we talked"

"Are you okay?" Carly asked, looking Courtney in the eye.

"I haven't told him yet, I tried but it seemed too soon. He shouldn't have to worry about how I'm feeling, so soon after he had major surgery" Courtney replied, breaking her eye contact with Carly, glancing at her hands that lay in her lap.

"Look you should go home for a bit, it's been a long evening" Sonny drew Courtney's eyes upwards, anger flashing briefly in her crystal blue gaze.

"I told you I wasn't going to leave him"

"I didn't mean it like that, I meant you should go and take a shower, get some clean clothes and have something to eat. Your no good to Jason if you pass out from hunger" Sonny replied, surprised by his sisters sudden defensiveness. Courtney sighed running a hand through her hair.

"I'm sorry for getting snappy; I just don't want to leave him"

"I'll be right here with Jason while you're gone" Carly stated, making her presence known again. Courtney nodded smiling at her sister in law.

"Okay but I'll be back in an hour, if something happens, just call my cell" Courtney grabbed her jacket from the chair, walking towards Jason's side again.

"I'll be back soon" Placing a kiss on her sleeping fiancée's forehead, the blonde finally let Sonny lead her out of the room.

"Okay Jase you can stop pretending to be asleep now" Carly stated, watching his eyes open and a small smile spread across his features.

"How did you know?"

"Oh please I have a child who pretends to be asleep way better then you, plus you smiled when Courtney kissed you" Carly replied, taking a seat in the chair Courtney had vacated.

"I'm glad to see your feeling better, you had us all scared" Carly blinked back a few tears, taking Jason's hand.

"I should have never chosen to drive in that blizzard, I could have gotten Courtney killed" Jason responded, the anger towards himself, evident in his voice.

"Hey it was no ones fault, your okay and Courtney's okay" Carly caught herself lying as she said the last words knowing Courtney wasn't okay.

"How long have you been awake?" Carly inquired, sitting back in her chair.

"Long enough to hear you convince her to go home for a bit, thank you for that by the way, she needed some fresh air" Jason replied, smiling at Carly who suddenly became serious.

"Who is Jaime?"

The red head pulled the arm of her shirt up, glancing in the mirror to see the bruises that had begun to form. Elizabeth stood in the background, hand raised to except money from the brown-haired woman who stood in the corner of the room.

"There now I think you can find your way out" The brunette commented, placing the final bill in Liz's hand and watching as she left.

"That witch Carly, she grabbed me and dragged me from the room like a four year old" Jaime spoke coldly, her green eyes hardening in anger.

"Well I told you it wasn't going to be easy, but don't worry it's all falling into place. Come on sis cheer up" The brown-haired woman walked to Jaime's side, placing a calming hand on her shoulder.

"It better work out, you promised I would get Jason the last time you made a play for Sonny. Angel that didn't work out the way you planned" Jaime stated, turning to face her sister arms crossed in front of her chest.

"Well when dad died I was close to getting Sonny, but he chose Carly. Your married to Jason, which means he can't marry Blondie  any time soon" Angel replied, fixing her shoulder length hair and brushing lint off her white top, smiling wickedly at her sister.

"You know people shouldn't let your obsession with white fool them, you're exactly like dad" Jamie commented, looking over her sister's latest white ensemble. The two sisters were close but completely different. While Angel lived up to her name style wise, Jamie stuck to deep red colors and black, her long read hair curled softly. Angels now brown tresses were straightened, lying past her shoulders. The two smiled at their reflections in the full-length mirror.

"I guess I'm off to play sweet and innocent Mrs. Morgan" Jamie gave Angel a small hug leaving to change.

"Ms. Sorel, Faith Roscoe is here" A guard announced, poking his head in to see his boss.

"Show her in"

Jason shifted uncomfortably under Carly's scrutinizing glare.

"How do you know about Jamie?" He asked.

"She showed up with Liz, claiming she was worried about her husband, who by the way, is you" Carly replied, emphasizing her words by pointing towards Jason.

"We got the marriage annulled, it meant nothing" Jason stated, shrugging to show the unimportance of the situation.

"Are you sure 'cause there was a gold band around her finger, that shows otherwise"

"No we signed the papers before I came back to Port Charles… I gave them to her to take to the courthouse" Jason cursed beneath his breath, realizing his mistake.

"You know for a guy who is supposed to be a good ready of people, stealthy and all that you aren't doing too well" Carly mumbled, sighing in disappointment while Jason glared at her.

"Not now Carly" He warned, running a hand through his hair.

"Why would you let little Miss Muffet take the papers?" Carly inquired, not being able to stop her curiosity.

"I got a call from Sonny, saying he needed me to fly to the Caribbean to do some business. Jaime and I both wanted the marriage to end so I trusted her with the papers"

"Of all the people you choose to trust some girl… you what picked up in a bar?"

"No!" Jason felt his anger rising, as Carly continued to state the obvious; he had made a stupid move.

"So then tell me how you met her, why you married her" Carly requested, her voice lowering as she looked directly into Jason's eyes.

"Her boyfriend was beating on her, she needed help, and I said I would protect her"

"So you married her to protect her. Sounds like you could have just hung around outside her doorway" Carly commented, beginning to pace.

"She shot him with my gun, we had to find a way to protect ourselves" Jason finished.

"How did Sonny never find out?" 

"I hid it, I didn't want him to know I was sucked into a loveless marriage" Jason bowed his head and Carly stopped in her tracks feeling bad at her sudden anger towards him.

"Look all you have to do is get Jaime to divorce you and you can send her packing. Then me and Courtney can start planning your wedding" Carly sat down once again, taking Jason's hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"How am I supposed to tell Courtney?" Jason asked, looking towards Carly who could not answer, for the first time in her life she did not have one.

Courtney pulled her coat around herself tightly, walking down the steps of the docks. The cool morning air whipped at her cheeks reddening them. Looking out onto the murky water before her, Courtney could see her reflection in the waves. Sighing the blonde began to turn around when she spotted a red head walking towards her.

"I'm sorry to bother you but you are Courtney Matthews, right?" The stranger asked, coming closer, earning a suspicious once over from Courtney. The woman's hair was pulled back showing off her ivory skin, a long coat covering a pair of jeans and a turtleneck. Pausing briefly Courtney nodded, watching the woman let out a quick breath a relieved smile crossing her features.

"I thought I recognized you, you are a friend of my husbands' right?" The woman inquired, rubbing her hands in an attempt to get some warmth.

"I'm sorry who is your husband?" Courtney found herself slightly intrigued by the woman's questions.

"Oh my god, I have to be the weirdest person you have ever met, I'm Jason Morgan's wife. My name is Jamie Morgan" The red head held her hand out for Courtney to shake, seemingly oblivious to the blonde's sudden paleness.

"Nice to meet you" Courtney shook Jamie's hand trying to control her urge to rip the woman's arm off. 

"Are you headed to see Jason? We could go together" Jamie suggested, smiling sweetly.

"Yeah, I have to talk to Jason about a few things" Courtney replied curtly, a cold edge accenting her words. Jamie watched in amusement as the blonde took the lead.

"This is going to be fun" The red head whispered beneath her breath, following in Courtney's footsteps.
