A.N: Hey! Sorry this chapter took so long to update…I've been having a bad case of writers block so this chapter isn't that good…but hopefully it will still be enjoyed…and hopefully I'll do them quicker next time—thanks for the reviews! I



Courtney and Carly waited anxiously for Sonny and Jason's return.



"Calm down, Carly." Courtney ordered as she placed a comforting hand atop of Carly's shoulder. "It's not good for the baby if you're upset like this."



Carly starred helplessly at Courtney for a moment. "How can you be so calm? I killed a man and Sonny and Jason are out there somewhere cleaning up my mess. What did I do, Courtney? There's so much I…so much we can both lose." Carly uttered weakly as she placed her hand atop of Courtney's, which was still resting on her shoulder. Courtney revealed a weak smile in hopes to ease Carly's distress.



"I'm terrified, Carly, but the only thing we can do right now is protect ourselves and our unborn children." Courtney explained as she released her hand from Carly's shoulder and placed in upon her lap.



"I know you're right." Carly began as she returned Courtney's desperate smile. "It's so hard though." There was a comfortable moment of silence as each woman stared worriedly at each other. Their constant thoughts were interrupted when they heard the door to Courtney's hospital room open suddenly, and Jason and Sonny entered.



"Sonny," Carly yelped enthusiastically as she greeted Sonny with a warm, tight hug. "What happened? Is everything okay?"



Jason instantly walked towards Courtney and bent down to her bed and entrapped her in a tight hug, as well.



"Are you okay?" Courtney inquired as she ran her hands through Jason's hair and then down his cheek.



"Yeah, everything's taken care of. Don't worry about anything." Jason voiced as he took a quick glance at Sonny, who was now holding Carly with one arm around her shoulder.



"What did you do?" Carly questioned quietly as she starred seriously into Sonny's deep brown eyes.



"There's no need to worry about that. All that matters is that we forget about what happened tonight. There's no need to talk about it any longer." Sonny lectured as he wrapped his arms around Carly once again.



Courtney nodded her head in agreement and watched as Jason took a seat aside from Courtney. "How are you feeling?"



"A lot better now that I know you two are safe." Courtney responded as she glanced from Jason to Sonny, and then returned her eyes back to Jason.



"I'm glad."



Sonny let out a quick sigh as he began to walk closer to Courtney. "You're probably exhausted. We should get going and let you rest."



"Yeah, I am pretty tired actually." Courtney began. "I'm being released tomorrow morning, so I think I might go to sleep early tonight."



Jason looked at Sonny as he and Carly gathered their belongings and prepared to leave Courtney alone.



"I'm going to stay here with Courtney," Jason stated, and changed his attention to Sonny and Carly.



"No, Jason. You don't have to. Really, go ahead with them. Go get some sleep. I will be home tomorrow." Courtney explained as she shook her head in disapproval.



"No, I want to stay here with you, unless, of course, you would rather be alone tonight. I guess I…"



"No, I would love for you to stay here with me." Courtney agreed as she interrupted Jason.



"Alright then, I will catch up you both tomorrow. Sonny, if anything happens. Call me." Jason ordered as he rose from his seat and walked closer to Sonny and Carly.



"Everything will be fine. I'll see you both tomorrow." Sonny replied as he held up his hand which signaled a wordless goodbye to Courtney.



Once Carly and Sonny had left Jason returned to his seat.



"Go to sleep," Jason ordered with concern. "You should get a lot of rest now that you're pregnant."

Courtney smiled sweetly as Jason as she scooted herself slowly towards the side of her hospital bed, and then patted the mattress with her hand beside her.



"I'll sleep better with you right next to me," Courtney commented sweetly as she released a little laugh. Jason smiled widely as he starred lovingly at the angel before him.



"Well, whatever helps you rest; I can't fight that." Jason joked as he accompanied Courtney on her bed and moved in slowly as he locked his lips with hers, delivering her a passionate kiss.

The next morning Carly walked down the stairs as Sonny was searching through a pile of papers atop his desk.



"Hey there," Carly spoke tiredly as she raised her arms in a relaxing stretch.



"Good morning," Sonny replied as he ignored the unorganized paper work in front of him and turned his attention to his wife. "How are you feeling?"



"A little sick, but I guess that's normal." Carly responded as she sat lazily on the couch, and Sonny accompanied her.



"You need to eat a healthy breakfast." Sonny demanded as he rose from the couch and began towards the kitchen.



"Sonny, I'm not hungry!" Carly yelped, but Sonny had already stopped in middle of the living room when he heard someone screaming outside his door.



"Let me in! I have a warrant!"



Just as Sonny heard those words being loudly spoken outside his home the door quickly opened with a loud bang and Scott Baldwin and Taggert were standing before him.



"Sonny Corrinthos," Scott began as she revealed the warrant that he held tightly in his grip. "Where were you last night?"
