~*~ Chapter 4 ~*~
"Come on, Courtney, will you please go shopping with me? You have to get some fresh air."
"No, Carly. I'm fine, really."
Carly stared at her best friend sympathetically. It had been 2 weeks since Danielle had been missing, and Courtney seemed to become more and more depressed. Jason had asked Carly to try and get her out of the penthouse, but Courtney still wouldn't budge. And even though Courtney had assured both Michael and her she didn't blame him for Danielle's kidnapping, Carly couldn't help but feel guilty. After all, it was her son who hadn't been paying attention.
"Ok, Sweetie. I'm gonna go home, but if you need me, please call."
Courtney glanced up and nodded, not even attempting to smile anymore.
Carly shook her head and shut the door behind her.
~*~
Carly walked back into her penthouse to see Sonny on the phone and Jason standing next to him.
"Ok, thanks," Sonny said, hanging up the phone.
"Anything yet?" Carly asked.
Sonny shook his head. "My men have covered the park for clues, and begun to research what some of our enemies have been up to lately, but they haven't found anything yet. The police aren't helping at all either. The only thing they've done is tap our phones, and that hasn't done a lot of good because the kidnapper hasn't called us back. How's Courtney doing?"
"She's still the same. I tried to get her to go shopping with me like you asked, Jason, but she didn't want to."
"Thanks for trying," Jason sighed. "I'd better get back over there. She won't eat unless I force her to."
~*~
Jason carried out a tray to Courtney, who sat in one of the overstuffed chairs.
"Here, Courtney," he said, setting it on her lap.
"I'm not hungry."
"Well, you may not be, but I'm sure the baby is."
"How can I eat when my I don't know where my daughter is?! She could be out there somewhere hungry herself, and you expect me to eat?"
"Courtney, Danielle needs you to be strong right now. When we find her, she's gonna need her mom and her baby brother or sister to be strong and healthy."
"What if we never find her?"
"We will, I promise you," he said, reaching down to touch her cheek.
She let his hand remain there for a second, but then pulled away, ignoring the hurt look in his eyes.
"I'll eat this, but only if you leave me alone for awhile."
"Ok," he said, knowing that was the only way she would eat.
~*~
"I want my mommy," Danielle said to the woman for the millionth time.
"Does it look like I care?"
Danielle glared at her. Not only was she rude, she was boring and wouldn't let her watch any cartoons.
"I can't believe I'm stuck here baby-sitting you again. That's all I've done the last two weeks."
"Then why don't you let me go home?"
"Because, I don't like your uncle."
"Why not?"
"Because, he did some things to me in the past that I'm mad at him about."
"Well, if it was in the past, why does it matter now? My mommy always says to 'let the past stay in the past.'"
The woman rolled her eyes at the child's innocence. There was no way she could forget. It may have taken a few years, but Faith Roscoe was finally going to get her revenge.
~*~
Jason watch Courtney silently as she picked at her food. She was getting part of it down, at least. He just wished she'd let herself lean on him. She talked to him less and less as each day without Danielle went by. He tried, like Carly, to get her to go somewhere, shopping, to the club, anywhere, but she refused to leave. She didn't talk much during the day, and she cried herself to sleep every night. When she would cry, Jason would try to take her into his arms, try to comfort her somehow, and she would just pull away. If it wasn't for the baby that she was carrying, he was sure she wouldn't talk or eat at all. But what hurt him the most was that he didn't know what to do for her. No matter what he tried, she wouldn't let him help her. So, he did what he could. He got her to eat, and he stayed there for her, just in case.
"Can I quit eating now? I'm full, I promise."
Jason glanced down at the half eaten plate of food on the tray with sad eyes, but nodded anyway. She got up and took the tray into the kitchen, his eyes following her the whole way. She came back out and was about to head upstairs when she felt it. She couldn't ignore it, and she couldn't ignore her husband anymore. She knew she was hurting him. It wasn't just her daughter that was missing, it was his too. She walked over to the couch and sat down next to Jason, surprising him. She gently took his hand and placed it on her slightly bulging abdomen, watching his reaction. He looked at her, surprised, when he felt a small movement.
"Is that our baby?"
She nodded at him as tears began to spill from her eyes. She gave in and laid her head on his shoulder, her tears falling freely now. He began to cry right along with her, finally getting to hold her tight.
"I love you," she finally whispered.
"I love you too."
~*~
Faith looked up as her partner walked into the apartment.
"So, she finally fell asleep?"
"Yeah, after asking way too many questions. This kid is driving me crazy."
"It's a little late for that."
"Shut up!"
"Calm down. Our plan is going to work. You'll get your revenge on Sonny, and I'll get my revenge on my brother," A.J. said, smiling evilly.
There ya go! I actually didn't know who the woman was until last night, because I chose A.J. as the main guy, and let my best friend chose the woman. It was very close between Elizabeth and Faith, but Faith is apparently pissing her off more right now. Anyway, thanks to everyone who replied, I'll try to have chapter 5 up soon! 3 ya all 2 bits!
