2 months later

After the fight Courtney and Brian grew further and further apart. Kaley got her transplant from Jason. It was almost time for the kids to start school, Liz, Zander and Ric had decided to put Aubrey in home school for this year so she could stay home and take care of the baby. Micah had gotten rid of her crutches, and she was walking on her own very well. Kristina was doing fine as well. Emily had opened a club inside of Wyndemere, through one of the secret tunnels, the entrance was through the grotto, so she named it The Grotto. About a week before school started, Kaley, Jaxton, Kaden, Aubrey, Micah, and Alex were sitting outside of Kelly's talking.

"Kaden, we have to get Mom and Dad back together."

"What do you mean back together, they're not divorced." Alex said

"News flash Alex, since you've been gone, Jason Morgan is our dad." Kaden replied

"And since Mom and Brian are probably going to get a divorce over her lying to everyone, and other things, it would be the perfect opportunity to get them together."

"You think it will work though? I mean Uncle Jase and Aunt Courtney are both hard headed as the two of you." Micah said

"So it's the perfect match." Kaden replied

"And with the help of you guys, we can be sure to have them back together in no time." Kaley added

"But what if your mom and Brian get back together?" Jaxton asked

"You can't think like that Jax, if they don't split up, we'll split them up." Aubrey replied

"So are you guys in?" Kaden asked as he laid his hand in the middle of the table, Kaley put her's over it and grinned at her brother.

"I'm in." Micah said

"Me too." Aubrey added

"I'm not really that close to them though." Alex said

"So, we need all the help we can get." Kaden said

"I'm game." Jaxton said

"Alex?" Micah asked

"Okay, count me in." He said

"Great, we need to get to work right away starting our plans." Kaley said

That night there was a note left for Brian to find in the penthouse. Although they weren't getting along they were still living together, but one of them usually slept on the couch.

Brian,
Meet me at The Grotto tonight at 8. We need to talk without the kids interrupting us. Courtney

They also left a note at Jake's for Jason to find.

Jason,
I hope you will accept my request to join me at The Grotto for dinner maybe some dancing, tonight at 7. Courtney

Kaley walked in, her Mom was finally home, she hadn't been home all day, and Kaley had been across the hall with Micah.

"Mom, Dad called earlier, he asked if you would want to go out to dinner with him tonight at The Grotto." Kaley said

"Yeah, I'll call him and tell him I'll meet him there."

"No!" Kaley exclaimed, "I mean, he said no, just he'd be there and if you showed up, then you could have dinner."

"Okay, that's a little strange of Jason, but okay." Courtney replied

That night, the kids were having a party in the game room of Wyndemere, just like a back to school back totally legitimate, no drinking or smoking or anything like that. Kaley had sneaked down to The Grotto, taking Sarah and Micah with her.

"So what's the point of this?" Sarah asked as the looked through the doorway.

"We're trying to get my parents back together." Kaley replied

"Oh, why?"

"Because they're my parents, what kid wouldn't want their parents together." Kaley said

"Look, there they are, they're dancing." Micah said

"They look really close too."

"And there's Brian." Kaley added as Brian walked through the door.

"Right on time."

"Tell me about this plan." Sarah said

"Well, we gave Uncle Jason a note saying to meet Aunt Courtney here, then a letter to Brian saying to meet Aunt Courtney here, only an hour later, then Brian will see Aunt Courtney and Uncle Jason, and he'll be hurt."

Later that night

Micah and Sarah spent the night with Kaley, they were standing in the kitchen making some snacks for them, when they heard the door slam.

"Courtney!"

"It's Brian." Kaley whispered

"What?" Courtney asked as she came down the stairs, "And keep your voice down, I just got Courbria to sleep."

"I just came by to get the rest of my things, it's over, I'm moving out." Brian said

"What are you talking about Brian?"

"Don't say anything to her. Don't say anything to her." Kaley was chanting from the kitchen.

"I'm talking about you and Jason tonight at the Grotto."

"You saw us?"

"Yes, I saw you." He replied, "So it's over, I'm moving out."

He went upstairs and got some of his things, then came back down, shoving it all into a bag. He walked back upstairs and kissed his sleeping daughter, and told BJ and Kaden bye, then walked into the kitchen, kissing Kaley's forehead, he told her goodbye as well. He walked back into the living room.

"Brian."

"I'll have my attorney bring you the papers." He said before walking out.

Courtney walked over to the couch and sat down as she began to cry, Kaley walked in, and took her mother in her arms, "He's not worth it Mom. If he can just give up on you that easily, he's not worth it."

"I know, I mean, I've known it was over for awhile, I just haven't really had to face it, I didn't know it would hurt this much."

"It's okay."

"You want some popcorn, don't you Aunt Courtney?" Micah asked trying to cheer her up and waving a bowl of popcorn in front of her.

"Yeah." She said taking the bowl

"Come on, come up to my room, we were gonna watch 'Fools Rush In', we have tons of junk food in the kitchen ready to be carried upstairs." Kaley said

"Okay." She replied getting up and following the girls to the kitchen, then upstairs.

Kaley went into Kaden's room, "Did you hear that?" Kaley asked

"What?"

"Brian's gone for good, he's sending Mom the divorce papers." Kaley replied

"That's great."

"Mom's pretty upset."

"We should have Dad come over and take care of her."

"Not right now, we're watching movies in my room tonight, maybe tomorrow."

2 weeks later- October

The kids had went back to school, Kaley had fallen back into the habit of partying with Jaxton and their friends again. One night, there was a big party, and Jason had heard about it.

Morgan and Jaxton were on the ground rolling around punching eachother, Morgan's lip was already swollen from Jaxton hitting him repeatedly, and Jaxton's nose was undoubtedly broken.

"Morgan stop!" Kaley shouted, "I told you to forget about, you two are bestfriends, you don't need to be doing this!"

"Kaley, he shouldn't have done it." Morgan replied as he momentarily looked at Kaley.

"Chance help me!" Kaley shouted as she tried to pull Morgan off Jaxton, Jaxton was bigger than Morgan was, by far, but Morgan got the upper hand, and Jaxton was lying helplessly on the ground.

"I swear Jaxton, if you do anything else to hurt my cousin ever again, I will personally kill you myself." Morgan said before Chance drug him away.

Kaley pulled Morgan off to the side, "Jaxton, are you okay?" Kaley asked

"Does it look like I'm okay Kaley?" Jaxton asked, "You're dumb ass cousin just beat the shit out of me."

"Jaxton I'm sorry."

"How did he know about all that?"

"I told him."

"You what? Why?"

"Because, I was asking him about you being at a party one night, and I got mad, and it all just came out."

"He promised me he wouldn't do anything about it." Kaley replied

"Well, shows how much promises mean to your family." Jaxton said

"Somebody help, it's Chance, there's something wrong with him!" Morgan yelled

Jason was at Kelly's and there was a cop there, his scanner went off, and they were saying there was a possible drug overdose at a party, and it was at that spot, he knew Kaley was out there with their friends. Shortly after the cop left, Jason rushed out, and to his motorcycle, he took a shortcut out there, down some old railroad tracks, he beat the police, and he picked up Kaley, and rushed off, with Kaley fighting him the whole way. She was obviously drunk because shortly after they left, she made him stop because she had to throw up.

"How could you do that to me?" She asked after she came out of the bushes.

"The cops were about to bust that party, I couldn't let Brian catch you out there, he's use it against Courtney in court." Jason replied

"That was so humiliating." Kaley replied, "Not to mention that was one of my friends that was having convulsions."

"I can't help that Kaley, I didn't want you in trouble."

"Well now, I'm going to be in trouble with Mom, because you're going to tell her."

"That's right, you shouldn't be doing that kind of stuff Kaley, it messes you up. I know what it does, that's why I have brain damage because of careless mistakes and alcohol." He said

"So we have to tell Mom?" she asked as they got back on the bike.

"Yes, we're going back to the penthouse." He replied as he started the bike.

By the time they got back to the Harborview Towers, Kaley had a tight grip around him, and she had fallen asleep. He carefully climbed off the bike and then picked her up off it, carrying her in the building.

"What happened?" Courtney asked as she opened the door to let them in.

"Well, how about you help me get her in bed, and then I'll tell you?" Jason suggested

"Okay, over some coffee, I just made some."

Courtney pulled Kaley's shoes off as they walked up the stairs, she opened Kaley's door, and then pulled back the covers on the bed, letting Jason lay their daughter in it. They made sure she didn't stir, and then they walked out. Courtney went into the kitchen and got some coffee for them. She came back into the living room, where Jason was sitting on the couch, she sat next to him.

"Well, I'm not sure if you know this, but Kaley was at a party tonight. I knew about the party earlier today, I heard Kaley and Lexa talking about it. I was sitting in Kelly's and there was a cop in there, his scanner went off, they said it was a drug overdose at a party. I went out there, getting out there before the cops, I got Kaley and took her away. A few miles down the road she wanted me to stop because she had to puke. She started yelling at me for taking her away, obviously the person that had a drug overdose was one of her friends."

"Which one?"

"I don't know, she didn't say." He replied

"God Jason, my life is so screwed up. I have a 3 month old, 3 kids that are all pretty wild, Kaley being the worst, I'm going through a divorce, and then there's you."

"Are you saying I screwed up your life?" Jason asked

"No, you're about the only thing that's right in my life right now."

"That's nice to hear." He joked

"I can't believe she would go do something like that."

"She's a teenage girl, she's going to experiment with things she's not going to talk to us about."

"I just hope she lives past the age of 18."

"I do too." Jason said as he kissed Courtney's forehead.

"I'm so thankful for you Jase, if I didn't have you looking out for those two, I don't know what I would do." Courtney said

The next morning Kaley woke up, she had a horrible headache, and she wanted to throw up. She looked in on her mom, but also to find her dad in bed with her mom, she grinned knowing they were going to get back together. She then had thoughts of the night before, what exactly happened? How much trouble was she in? What happened after she left? She decided to call Aubrey, since it was almost noon, and she didn't go to the party.

"Hello?" Aubrey answered

"Aubrey, have you heard about what happened last night?" Kaley asked

"Yeah."

"What happened?"

"There was a drug overdose at the party at Evan Shearwood's house." Aubrey replied, immediately memories came flooding back to Kaley.

"Oh my god, it was Chance, I remember him laying on the floor convulsing." Kaley said, "Is he going to be okay?"

"They don't know."

"I bet Lexa's devastated."

"Yeah, I called her this morning she went up there."

"I'm probably the only one that their parents know about the party."

"Probably the police just came out there and busted it, didn't take anyone to jail or anything, 'cause I think everyone ran." She replied

"Oh." Kaley said, "Guess what?"

"What?"

"Dad came out there and picked me up before the cops got out there, he brought be home, I went to check on my mom when I got up, and my dad's here they're sleeping in the same bed." Kaley replied excitedly

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"That's great Kaley, I can tell how happy you are." Aubrey said

"Yeah, I'm real excited." Kaley replied, "But I'm gonna go, and call the hospital, I think after I take some aspirin and sleep a little while longer, I'm gonna go up there and see how Chance is doing."

"Okay, talk to ya later Kay."

"Bye Aub."
