I hope everyone enjoys the chapter and huge thanks to the reviewers!
--------------------- Jason and Courtney's Penthouse
Jason had been gone for almost four hours. Courtney had been trying his cell for a while now but all she had gotten was his voice mail. She had left messages for him to call her but so far he hadn't called her back. The fact the phone was off was making her nervous. He always had that phone with him - it was a business requirement practically. Why wouldn't he be answering? About two hours ago she went to see Sonny to check if maybe he knew where Jason was.
Courtney could tell he still wanted them apart. When she asked and said that she was getting frightened for him, Sonny had been mad at her and told her that this was what she signed up for, this is what she screamed about being able to handle. Courtney knew that if Jason were to break up with her tomorrow Sonny would be the happiest man alive and her father would be right there with him.
It certainly wasn't going to happen, though, because Jason loved her.
---------------------- Corinthos Penthouse
Courtney had been driving him nuts. She had been coming a lot more lately. Sonny had never considered Courtney clingy but now she seemed to be getting that way. He still stood by what he felt about their relationship in the beginning.
Not only was it dangerous but Courtney and Jason were too different. Courtney seemed to want to settle down, but Sonny knew Jason would never really want that, at least not the way she wanted him to. After a while he would out run her. He needed someone who could keep up with him. Carly had been the best at it. Robin hadn't been able to do it. Elizabeth had seemed perfect blend of Carly and Robin. He had really thought it would be them living across the hall, but his fake death had ruined it. She turned away after that.
Courtney was right about one thing, though. Jason's cell was turned off. That worried him. There had to be a reason why - maybe Jason's following up on a lead and needed to be quiet. It was the most likely explanation and Sonny chose to believe that it was the truth.
Mind put to ease he went to go check on Michael. The little boy was peacefully sleeping. Losing Carly would destroy Michael, but not Sonny. He would keep himself from falling apart so he could take care of Michael. Oddly enough it was the knowledge of being an only parent that would save him. Losing Jason would prove to be harder. There was no facts that would keep him from the darkness if Jason were to die.
------------------------- The Lansing Home
Ric was a little upset. He knew Elizabeth is with her Grandmother but he still missed her. That's the type of person she was, however, considerate and giving to others. It was part of why he loved her. She would make an amazing mother.
Thinking of mothers he should really go check on Carly. Clicking the button on the remote control to the panic room he saw the door open. He waltzed in, full of confidence, to find Carly was sitting on the bed reading one of the magazines he'd brought her after he had shot Jason Morgan. "Where's Muffin?" she questioned, without looking up at the magazine.
"Her grandmother is sick, Elizabeth is staying there the night to take care of her. Do you need anything?"
"Not from you, you sick man." Carly directed at him with a snarl.
"Let me know if that changes." And with that he left.
"Muffin's with her Gram? But this morning she said goodbye to her. Something about a nursing convention. She said that she would see her next week." She mused aloud.
Carly was already coming up with a thousand different places Little Miss Webber could be. "I guess the girls smarter than I thought" she decided with a smile, warming up to Elizabeth considerably.
I hope everyone likes where this is going. Please, please, review!
