They got home, "Kaley, where have you been, I was so afraid you had gone
and done something stupid." Courtney said as she jumped up and hugged her
daughter.
"I wouldn't do that Mom, besides, I ran into my cousin in the park, Kaden got to meet him too, and we got to meet his sister."
"What are you talking about honey?" Courtney asked as they walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Shawn and Sarah Quartermaine, AJ and Lydia's kids."
"Are you still upset about that?"
"Of course I'm still upset about it! I've lived all my life thinking my father was Brian Beck, and I was Kaley Caroline Beck, but no, my father is Jason Morgan and I am Kaley Caroline Morgan. Mom you could have told Brian about you thinking we could have been Jason's, and there could have been tests, we could have not had to go through this, Mom, if that's even who you are anymore."
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry, but I've told you why I divorced Jason, because he's dangerous, I didn't want to be a part of that, and I didn't want my children to be a part of that." Courtney said, "I did this for you, I knew that Brian would be a better father than Jason would."
"Well, how come you didn't just have a paternity test done, at least we could have known, you and Brian could have had custody, but we could have still been able to see Jason." Kaden said
"I don't know, but Kaley we scheduled your transplant, it's set for August 10th." Courtney said
"I'd rather die." Kaley said before she stomped towards the door.
"Kaley, don't say that, you don't want to die." Courtney said before Kaley slammed the door.
She walked back to the park, near the fountain she came to on Valentine's Day every year with Aubrey and Liz, just to prove that Liz had overcome her rape. She came by there more often than that though. She sat down on the edge and let the mist of the water blowing in the wind hit here. She pulled her knees to her chest and rested her head on them.
A few minutes later
"Kaley."
"What?" she asked not moving
"What are you doing? It's dark outside, aren't you afraid of weirdoes out here?"
"No, I'm not. I'm a tough girl." She replied still not looking up.
"Yeah, that's what Elizabeth Lansing thought before she was raped." He said, "Come on, I'll take you home, I'll bet your Mom is worried."
"I don't care if she's worried, I don't ever want to go back there." Kaley said
"Well, then come to my apartment, you can spend the night, we'll call your Mom and let her know she's okay."
"How do I know that you're not going to kill me." At this time she looked up, it was Jason, "Right, because you're my dad."
Back at the penthouse
"Shouldn't we be out looking for her, I mean, she could get kidnapped." Courtney said to Carly.
"Courtney, just calm down. I'm sure she's fine." Carly replied
"Yeah Mom, Kaley's a strong girl, she can take care of herself, I mean, how many fights have we been in that she beat me up. About as many as I've beat her right?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right."
"She'll come back." Carly assured her
~~~*************~~~
"Sorry, it's not more, but it's a place to stay away from your Mom. I know how it feels to hate your family." Jason said as they pulled up in front of Jake's.
"It's fine." She replied, "I've never rode on a motorcycle before."
"I would hope not." He said as they got off the bike, "You better not ever get on another bike at least until you're 21."
"You're already over protective of me."
They walked in, immediately guys turned their heads.
"Hey sweetheart, can I buy you a drink?" a guy asked
"Back up!" Kaley said
Jason immediately stepped between them, "Hey, you stay away from her."
"Going for the young ones huh Morgan?" another guy asked
"She's my daughter, and if you make another comment like that you'll regret it." Jason said as he grabbed him by the collar, he turned to Kaley, "Come on Kaley."
"That was freaky. I've never been in a bar before either."
"You'd better not be in a bar until you're 21 either." He replied as they walked in the apartment, "You can have the bed, I'll sleep in the chair."
"No, it's your apartment, I'm smaller I can sleep in the chair."
"No, you're sleeping in the bed." He demanded
"Okay sorry Captain Morgan." She replied as she saluted, then began to laugh uncontrollably, "Sorry."
"What's so funny?"
"Captain Morgan." She replied through her giggles, "That stuff is good."
"Okay Kaley, don't tell me that kind of stuff."
"What do you mean?"
"Stuff that I'm going to be forced to tell your Mom." He replied, "Speaking of her, you need to call her."
"You call her."
"Okay." He walked over and picked up the phone
"Kaley?" Courtney answered
"No, it's Jason."
"Have you seen her?"
"I have her, she said she didn't want to come home, so I brought her to my place."
"To Jake's?" Courtney asked
"Yeah, she's completely safe don't worry." He replied
"So, she says one thing to you about not wanting to come home and you just give in and whisk her away, not even considering what I would have to say?" Courtney said
"Courtney, I'm trying to do what's best for her. She's obviously mad at you, and she needs some away time from her mother." Jason replied
"Tell her I'm coming to get her." Courtney said
"Courtney, she's my daughter too, she wants to be here with me. As of right now, I'm not telling her no."
"Well, I'm going to come get her."
"Kaley," he said, he looked over at her, she was asleep, "She's asleep."
"You'd better not be lying to me."
"I'm not, I swear." He replied
"Okay, well, she can stay for tonight, but she's to come home tomorrow." Courtney said
"Okay, I'll tell her that when she gets up in the morning." Jason replied
"Thanks for keeping an eye on her Jase." She said
"No problem, she's my daughter." He said, he could see her smile from the other side of the phone.
"Bye Jason."
"Bye." He replied before hanging up, he looked at the sleeping girl on his bed, this time it wasn't a one night fling, it was his daughter, that's when it hit him. The girl and boy he wished had been his all his life really was. He pulled the covers up over her since she had kicked them off, then walked over to the closet and took a blanket out from the top of it. Not bothering to change, he sat in the chair propping his feet on the foot rest, and covering up with the blanket, "Goodnight Kaley."
She whispered softly, "Night Daddy."
The next morning
"This is all so weird to me." Kaley said as she sat on the end of the bed watching TV.
"I know me too, it's strange." He replied, "I figured you'd hate me because of it."
"No, you didn't know either, you're basically in the same place I am. Mom didn't tell you either."
"Kaley, you should really lighten up on your Mom. I get where she's coming from, she was afraid of me by the time we got the divorce. Then I guess right after that was when she found out she was pregnant."
"Why did you get a divorce?"
"Because, we were on rocky ground, but we were still living together, and uh..."
"Sleeping together." Kaley added
"Right, and then a few weeks later she moved out, and slept with Brian, we signed papers the next day. I think she knew you and Kaden were mine, but she didn't want to admit it to herself or Brian."
"And after she told him, they were happy, and they got married, and blah, blah, blah." Kaley said
"Well, your mom wanted me to get you home. Are you ready to go? Do you want to get something to eat or what?" he asked
"How about, we'll go to Kelly's, grab a bite to eat, then you can take me home."
"Sounds good."
They walked out, and rode to Kelly's, they walked in, "Kaley Caroline, I can't believe you." Courtney roared
"What?"
"Going to the park in the middle of the night."
"Courtney take it easy on her."
"Jason, don't tell me what to do and what not to do with my daughter. She at least deserves a griping, she's knows damn good and well not to run out by herself in the middle of the night."
"It was 10 o'clock Mom, hardly the middle of the night." Kaley replied
"Jason take her home." Courtney demanded
"I brought her here to get something to eat, so the faster you serve us, the faster we'll leave." Jason replied
"Fine."
"I wouldn't do that Mom, besides, I ran into my cousin in the park, Kaden got to meet him too, and we got to meet his sister."
"What are you talking about honey?" Courtney asked as they walked over to the couch and sat down.
"Shawn and Sarah Quartermaine, AJ and Lydia's kids."
