Jason: Courtney! I have to go! Jason Morgan yelled to his wife. Courtney: Jason! Jase wait! You can't go. I have to tell you something. Courtney Morgan said to her husband as she came down the stairs.
Jason wondered what Courtney needed to say to him. Ever since the miscarriage, Jason had made Courtney promise him to always tell him what she was thinking. Jason: Okay. What's going on? He asked concerned. Courtney: Uhh... maybe you should sit down. Jason: Are you okay? Courtney: Yeah. No yeah I'm fine. I just want to do this right this time. Jason: Okay. You know, you can tell me anything. Courtney: I know. I don't know. I guess I'm just trying to figure this out. Jason touched her cheek. She closed her eyes. Courtney: I'm pregnant. Jason: What? Are you sure? Did you go to GH? If you didn't come on we have to go.... Courtney: Do you want this Jason? Jason: Yeah. Yeah of course I do. Courtney: I thought so. Courtney looked down. Jason: Hey. What's wrong? Courtney: Dr. Meadows, she said that we must have really wanted a baby. She told me how lucky we are. Jason: We are lucky. I'm so lucky. We're finally going to have a family Courtney. Jason couldn't wait to turn "Sonny psycho" on her. Courtney: Well, Dr. Meadows said that this is going to be an extremely high risk pregnancy.... She trailed off. I won't lose this baby too Jason. I can't. Jason looked at his wife. He wouldn't let anything happen to her. Jason: Hey. He lifted her chin up to meet his intense gaze. We'll do everything we can okay? You know, you know it's dangerous right now, as dangerous as it's ever been. So, Max is going to be with you, always. Don't argue with me on this okay? Just let him watch you. He won't talk to you or even be in sight. Just know that he's there if you need him. Well actually, you might not even need a bodyguard. I might not let you leave the house. Courtney: Oh no. I will come and go as I please Mr. Morgan. But if it makes you happy, I'll drag poor Max along. Courtney said smiling. Jason: Thank you. Not just for agreeing with me on this whole bodyguard thing, for giving me this baby. I promise I'll keep you safe. I love you so much. Courtney: I love you too. I just want this baby to be okay. Jason: He will be. Courtney: He. No sorry Jason. Were having a little girl. I already know. She smiled. Jason: How? Courtney: I can feel it. Jason smiled and stood up. Jason: I have to go. Courtney: Okay. Be careful. You don't have just me to come home to, you know. Jason: I love you. He kissed Courtney. Jason: And I love you. He said as he lifted his wife's sheer shirt and kissed her flat stomach. Courtney smiled. He kissed Courtney one more time, his hands still resting on her stomach. Jason: Stay here until I get back. Courtney: Sorry. No can do. I have my shift at Kelly's. Jason: I hope you plan on quitting soon. Courtney: Yup. As soon as this baby starts to prevent me from walking normally. Jason: Take Max with you. I'll pick you up when your shift is over. Courtney: I'm looking forward to it. Jason nodded as he walked out of PH2, hitting the elevator but first stopping to talk to Max. Courtney shook her head and closed the door. Courtney: Hey sweetheart. I'm your Mommy. Me and your Daddy love you so much. I promise that I'll protect you, always. You're gonna be Momma's little miracle aren't you? Yeah, yeah you are. Courtney said to her baby as she went upstairs to change for work.

***5 hours later***

Courtney hated closing. She had sent Max home because Jason would be there in 5 minutes to pick her up. Courtney always got lonely when she was closing, but now she had company. Courtney: You know sweetie, I always hated closing this place. It always has this weird way of creeping me out. But don't worry. Daddy will be here very soon to come and get us. Brian: So, who are you talking to? He said coming down the stairs. Courtney: God, Brian. Just leave me alone. Brian: Where's Jason? Shouldn't he be here by now? Courtney: For your information, no. He isn't going to be here for another 5 minutes, but you never know he could be early. And I'm sure he would not be happy to see you here. Brian: I live here. I come and go as I please. And I just happened to hear you talking and I wanted to see who was down here. Courtney: Well, I was talking to myself. You can go now. Brian: I don't think you were. Courtney: Brian! Just leave me alone! Go away! Brian: I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I think your husband would appreciate that. Courtney: You know what, you stay. I'm leaving. She started to walk out the door when Brian grabbed her arm and turned her around. Brian: I can't let you do that. Just then, the door opened and revealed Jason. Courtney immediately yanked her arm back. Courtney: Brian. Do not ever touch me again. She said angrily and walked out, not even acknowledging Jason's presence. Jason stayed and waited for an explanation. He wanted to know why Brian was touching his wife. Brian: She was about to walk outside, alone. I tried to stop her but she wouldn't listen. So I grabbed hold of her arm. She obviously took it the wrong way. Jason: Listen to me. You will not come anywhere near Courtney. Ever. She doesn't like you. You are most definitely not friends. All your doing is pumping her for information on me and Sonny. I bet Ric put you up to this too. Jason chucked to himself. Ric. If you had any idea what Ric did to Courtney, you would hate him. You know what, you claim to be in love with my wife. If you are, prove it. If you really love her, you'll want her to be happy. Something she isn't when she's around you. Stay the hell away from her Beck. Brian: I love Courtney. When she decides to finally leave you, she'll come straight to me. She'll eventually get sick of living in your life Jason. She is a constant target, and when she finally comes to her senses about you and her brother, I'll be waiting for her. Jason: Stay away Beck. Jason warned him once more as he walked out the door.

Courtney was waiting outside for Jason. She thought that he might want to have a talk with Brian. She was right. Jason opened the door. Jason: Where's Max? Courtney: I told him to go home because you would be here to get me in 5 minutes. Jason: Courtney, Jason sighed, you- you can't do that. He stays with you until I get here or Sonny or Carly gets here. Come on, I thought you understood that. Courtney: You know what? I'm sorry. I didn't think that it would be that big of a deal to tell him to leave 5 minutes before you got here. God. Just, let's go home. I'm really tired. Courtney started to walk away, when all of a sudden she felt extremely faint. Before she knew it, she couldn't stand and she fell backwards. Jason: Hey. Hey. You alright? Jason asked catching his wife and holding her in his arms. Courtney: Yeah. Sorry. I just felt a little faint. I'm probably just tired. I didn't mean to scare you. Jason: I know. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. Stress isn't good for the baby. Just, I want you to be safe. Courtney: I know. And I love you for it. Jason smiled. Jason: Come on, let's go home. You need to sleep. Courtney: Yeah, sleep sounds nice. She said as she yawned.

***1 ½ Hours later at PH2***

Jason got into his bed next to his already sleeping wife. She is so beautiful Jason thought. He had to admit, her fainting gave him quite a scare tonight. He didn't want her to be in any pain. As he was about to shut his eyes he decided against it. Now, he thought, would be a good time to talk to his unborn child. Jason: Hey baby. I'm your Dad. I already love you so much and I can't wait for you to get here. Your Mom says you're a girl. To be honest with you, and don't tell your Mother this, I've always wanted a little girl. I promise that I'll keep you and your Mom safe, always. You know, your Mom, she's so wonderful. I hope you look just like her, she is so beautiful. She is going to keep you so safe inside of her. I just want you to know that no matter what, I'm going to protect you and keep you safe. You won't be dating till you're married. If you're a girl that is. God, I just- I love you and your Mother so much. He gave his wife's stomach a kiss, then kissed her head. Jason: I love you Courtney. And with that he fell asleep, not knowing that Courtney had heard all of what he had just said. It was so comforting to her that Jason loved her and this baby. He would protect them. This poor baby if she's a girl, she won't be allowed out of the house, ever. She silently laughed and fell asleep as she snuggled up into her husband's strong arms. End.

***The next day at PH4***

Carly: Hey Court! How are you? I feel like I haven't seen you in forever! Oh yeah... Hi Jason. So Courtney, let's make plans to go shopping and have lunch sometime next week okay? Okay. Courtney: Sounds great Carly. Sonny: Jason. We need to talk. Carly: Don't even try kicking us out. No way. We're staying. Jason: No, you're leaving. Carly: You can't manhandle a 1 month pregnant woman. Jason: Wanna bet? Carly: No. Come on Court. Let's go have lunch at Kelly's. We don't need this. Courtney: Hold on Carly. Jason and I have something important to tell you. Carly: Ooh! Will I like it? Are we going on a family vacation? Jason: Shut up Carly. Courtney looked at Jason. He nodded his head. Jason: You tell them. Courtney: Okay. Here it goes. Sonny sit down. Carly. Oh never mind. Sonny: I'm fine standing. Courtney what's going on? Carly: Yeah. Court, don't keep me in suspense. Come on I'm dying here. Courtney: I'm pregnant. Sonny: WHAT??? Jason?? I- I thought that ever since the mis- Jason: That's what we thought too. Carly: Oh My Gosh!!!!! Were going to be pregnant together!! Courtney! I am sooo happy for you guys. Jase... you're gonna be so great with her. Jason: Her? Carly: Uhh yeah. Didn't you know that you're having a girl? Courtney: I did. Carly: Well of course you did. Men. Carly and Courtney laughed. Courtney: Come on Carly. I'm starving. Carly: Ok. Me too. Later guys. Courtney: Bye. I love you. Jason: Be safe. Courtney: I know. Carly: You guys are so paranoid. Nothing is going to happen to us. Sonny: You don't know that. Courtney: Oh but we do big brother. They laughed again. Sonny: By the way, Court, Jase, congrats. Nobody deserves this more than you two. Courtney: Thanks Sonny. But we're leaving now. I am sooo hungry. Sonny and Jason: Take Max!! Carly and Courtney: We know!! They walked out the door laughing hysterically. Jason: Should we be scared? Sonny: My sister and my wife pregnant, together. Yes. Do you know how much of our money they are going to spend? We have millions Jason. But not for long. Jason: Well it's worth it. Sonny: Yeah. Yeah it is.

Courtney and Carly walked into Kelly's. They were both in a
particularly conniving
mood.
Courtney: I am so sick of Max following is around.
Carly: You took the words right out of my mouth.
Courtney: Let's tell him that we're going to the ladies' room then
sneak out the back.
Carly: Courtney! I've never seen this side of you before! I like it!
Courtney: It's gotta be the hormones.
Carly: Max!!!
Max: Yes Mrs. Corinthos?
Carly: Mrs. Morgan and I are going to the Ladies' Room.
Max: Okay. Thank you for telling me.
Courtney: No problem.
They got up and left to go to the "bathroom". Max watched to make sure
they went in there, and when he was satisfied, he went back outside.
Carly and Courtney quickly made their way out through the back
alleyway. They were crouched down in the corner, laughing. When two
people came up to them with masks on.

Jason: So what's up?
Sonny: We have a new problem.
Jason: Who?
Sonny: Ric and Brian Beck.
Jason: What? Ric again? And Beck. He approached Courtney the other
day.
Sonny: Threats have been made against Carly and Courtney.
Jason: What? When?
Sonny: Just about 3 hours ago, a man called me. He didn't say who he
was but he told me that I had better watch out for my wife and my
sister.
Jason: Well Max is with them right now, so they should be fine. I'm
going to call Courtney right now to make sure.
Sonny: Good idea.
Jason: Something's wrong. Her phone is off.
Sonny: Try Carly's.
Jason: Her's is off too.
Sonny: Damnit!
Jason: Max. I'll call Max.
Max: Hello?
Jason: Max, where are Courtney and Carly?
Max: They're in the Ladies' Room, Mr. Morgan.
Jason: I need you to check and make sure.
Max: Okay. Hold on for one second.
Max: Excuse me Liz? Could you go and make sure that Mrs. Morgan and
Mrs. Corinthos are in the Ladies' Room?
Liz: Sure Max, I'll be right back.
Max: Thank you.
Jason: Are they in there?
Max: Liz just went to go and check.
Jason: Okay.
Sonny: Where are they?
Jason: Hold on Sonny.
Liz: No Max, I'm sorry they're not in there.
Max: Are you sure?
Liz: Positive.
Max: Mr. Morgan, they're not in there.
Jason heart dropped.
Jason: What? Are you sure?
Max: Liz says she's sure.
Jason: Damn.
Sonny: Give me the phone.
Jason: Here.
Sonny: Max. Are you trying to tell me that my pregnant wife and my
pregnant sister are missing? Max what happened to watching them?
Max: Mr. Corinthos, Mrs. Corinthos and Mrs. Morgan excused themselves
to the Ladies' Room. I watched them go in.
Sonny: Start looking for them, we'll be right there.
Max: Yes sir.
Jason: Ric and Beck.
Sonny: They have them, I can feel it.
Jason: Me too. Let's go. End.

***A yacht somewhere by South America 3 weeks later***

Courtney: Carly. I miss Jason. I'm actually starting to show. I wish
he could see it.
Carly: Don't worry. He will. Sonny and Jason will find us.
Courtney: I can believe that Ric would do this again but Brian? I
didn't think he would stoop this low.
Brian: You guessed wrong sweetheart.
Courtney: You're sick.
Brian: Not compared to your mobster husbands I'm not.
Courtney: Do NOT talk about my husband and my brother. They are both
better men then you and Ric could ever be. You don't even deserve to
be in their presence. You don't deserve to know them.
Carly: Court. Calm down. Don't let this psychopath get to you.
Courtney: You're right. Umm, Brian? Could you go now. I don't exactly
like looking at you.
Carly laughed.
Brian: I'll be back my love.
Courtney: You disgust me.
Brian: Courtney, all I want is for you to love me.
Courtney: I love my husband. We are going to have a child together. I
hate you.
Carly: Get out.
Brian: Fine. If you want it to be this way....
Carly: God he is sick.
Courtney: Tell me about it.
Carly: You must be scared Courtney. Last time you were pregnant, you
were on a yacht and you lost the baby.
Courtney: I know. I'm so scared. But I'm not going to jump off this
time. I'm going to do what Jason would want me to do. Keep this baby
safe.
Carly: Good. He loves you so much.
Courtney: I know. He'll come get us. But in the meantime, let's think
of names for our daughters.
Carly: Good idea.

Sonny: Jason, we got nothing.
Jason: Damnit Sonny, it's been 3 weeks! Why haven't those sick freaks
let them call?
Sonny: Courtney and Carly are the strongest women I know. They can
deal with Lansing and Beck.
Jason: Beck is in love with Courtney Sonny. She must be showing now.
He must know that she's pregnant.
Sonny: Ric won't hurt a pregnant woman. Especially Carly and Courtney.
Even though he may hate us, he always was respectful of them.
Jason: I don't trust Ric for as far as I could throw him.
Sonny: Me either. Look Jason, I love my wife and I want her and my
unborn child home safely. Just as much as you want Courtney and your
baby home.
Jason: I just can't figure out where they are. I don't think that they
are in Port Charles. We searched all of the warehouses and hotels and
everything in this city.
Sonny: Jason. I don't know why we didn't think of this sooner. They
have them on Alcazar's yacht! It's the perfect way to hurt them, and
us. It brings back terrible memories for Courtney, and Carly was on
that ship with that psychopath for months.
Jason: That's it Sonny! Now we just have to get to them.
Sonny: We will.

Brian: Morgan and Corinthos will be catching on soon Lansing.
Ric: This is the last place they will look. This is where Alcazar and
I took them last time. Courtney jumped off the yacht, lost her baby,
and Morgan found her at a clinic in South America.
Brian: Morgan. I hate him. He doesn't deserve Courtney.
Ric: Once those idiots figure out where their wives are, Lorenzo will
have made his move. Soon enough, the Corinthos-Morgan empire will be
no more.
Brian: How much longer do we have until we have to move them to
Colombia?
Ric: I don't know. But I'm going to let them call their beloved
husbands.
Brian: Why?
Ric: Because I've always liked Courtney and Carly. They just fell in
love with the wrong people.
Brian: You're an idiot.
Ric: I wouldn't judge if I were you.

Courtney: I like Emma Caroline Morgan. After you and Jason's sister
Emily.
Carly: Aww. Court, that's so sweet! I was thinking Morgan Michelle
Corinthos.
Courtney: I like the first name! But why Michelle?
Carly: Well, I guess I kind of thought that it was like Matthews.
Courtney: Carly.... Thank you.
Carly: You're my sister in-law and my absolute best friend. There was
no way that I wasn't going to name my daughter after you.
Ric: Hate to interrupt but, I've decided to be civil and let you call
your pathetic husbands.
Courtney: Why Ric?
Ric: Because honestly, I always liked the two of you. I just hate your
husbands.
Carly: Should we be thanking you?
Ric: Nope. Just take the phone. Before I change my mind.
Courtney: Carly, you call first.
Carly: Okay.

Sonny: I want planes in the air now! Search everywhere around the
Caribbean and South America.... RING!!!
Sonny: Hello?
Carly: Sonny.
Sonny: Carly. Are you okay? How's the baby?
Carly: We're fine. All four of us.
Sonny: I'm sorry Carly. Do you know where you are?
Carly: I'm on a boat, well the yacht. The same one as last time. We're
somewhere near South America because it's really hot.
Sonny: Who has you?
Carly: Ric and Brian.
Sonny: Are they hurting you?
Carly: No, no Sonny. Courtney and I are fine. I love you.
Sonny: I love you too. Don't hang up.
Carly: I have to. I'll see you soon Sonny. Dream about me.
Sonny: I always do. If he hurts you call me right away. Please.
Carly: I'll call when I can. I promise.
Sonny: I love you so much. Tell the baby I love him.
Carly: HER! And she already knows.
Sonny: Be safe. I love you.
Carly: I love you too. Wanna talk to your sister?
Sonny: Yeah.
Courtney: Hey Sonny. I miss you.
Sonny: Courtney. I miss you too.
Courtney: How's Jason?
Sonny: He's a mess Court. He doesn't know what to do with himself.
He's so worried about you and the baby. He loves you both so much.
It broke Courtney's heart to hear this.
Courtney: Well, I'm okay. Brian is a psycho but me and Carly can keep
him under control.
Sonny: I know. I love you Courtney. So much. I know I don't tell you
that enough.
Courtney: I love you too Sonny.
Sonny: Call Jason.
Courtney: I will.
Sonny: Kiss the baby for me. Both of them.
Courtney: Of course.
Sonny: I love you.
Courtney: I love you too. Bye.
Courtney looked at Carly. She was crying. Carly missed Sonny so much.
Just as much as Courtney missed Jason.
Carly: Call your husband.
Courtney nodded.
Jason: Morgan.
Courtney: Jase.
Jason: Courtney?
Courtney: Yeah.
Jason: Oh my God. Are you okay? Where are you?
Courtney: On the yacht I was on last time. I don't know where in the
ocean though. It's warm. Which is nice. But me and our little girl are
doing okay. I've had a lot of morning sickness, but that's normal.
She's getting so big inside me Jason. I wish you could see.
Jason: Who is holding you?
Courtney: 3 guesses.
Jason: Brian and Ric.
Courtney: Correct.
Jason: Are they hurting you?
Courtney: No. No they aren't. Brian says some strange things but I
choose to ignore him.
Courtney started crying.
Jason: Hey. I'm sorry. I told you I would keep you and the baby safe,
and now you and Carly are kidnapped. I wish I could see you. Courtney.
I love you so much.
Courtney: I love you too. Hey guess what?
Jason: What?
Courtney: Me and Carly were thinking up names. Wanna know what we came
up with?
Jason: Yeah. He smiled.
Courtney: Well her baby's name is going to be Morgan Michelle
Corinthos.
Jason: They're going to name her Morgan?
Courtney: After you. Michelle is a transformed version of Matthews.
Jason: Tell Carly I said good job.
Courtney: I will.
Jason: What do you want our baby's name to be?
Courtney: If you don't like it I'll change it, but I love the name,
Emma Caroline Morgan.
Jason: It's perfect.
Courtney: Emma after your sister, Caroline after Carly.
Jason: I love it. And I love you.
Courtney: I love you.
Jason: I'm coming to get you and Carly very soon.
Courtney: Hurry. I can't stand not waking up next to you.
Jason: Me too.
Courtney: I have to go.
Jason: No.
Courtney: Brian wants to talk to you.
Jason: Ok. I love you and Emma more than anything.
Courtney: I know. We love you more.
Brian ripped the phone out of Courtney's hand as he watched Carly go
over to Courtney, crying.
Brian: Nice going Morgan, you made her cry.
Jason: You better be treating my wife with respect.
Brian: Oh. I am.
Jason: What do you want?
Brian: Besides Courtney? Well actually, all I want is Courtney. But
see, Lorenzo Alcazar wants your property.
Jason: So he can run drugs through?
Brian: Basically.
Jason: I'll speak with Sonny. In order for drugs to be run through my
territory I want my wife and Carly back in Port Charles tomorrow. Meet
me at the docks, with the both of them, unharmed, and we will talk.
Brian: Now, I don't think you're in any kind of position to be making
deals, but, I like this one so.... Tomorrow. 7:00. You and Corinthos
alone, unarmed. Ric and I will bring the lovely ladies to you. And
we'll talk.
Jason: Done.
Brian: Goodbye.
Brian: Looks like you ladies are headed home.

***6:30 the next night. Sonny's PH***

Jason: Come on Sonny. Hurry up.
Sonny: Alright I'm coming. I was just making sure Leticia was with
Michael.
Jason: Do you think that they're going to try and pull anything?
Sonny: We have our guns. Nothing will go wrong. We will have our wives
back in our arms in a matter of minutes.
Jason liked the sound of that.

Courtney and Carly were standing in between Ric and Brian. They were
waiting for Jason and Sonny to come and get them. They wouldn't not
show up right? Courtney thought. They would save them.
Jason: Courtney!
Brian: Don't move Courtney! He said as he pulled out his gun and
pointed it at her rounding belly.
Jason: Brian, come on she's innocent. Let her go.
Brian: If this is what I need to do to keep you under control Morgan....
Courtney: Brian. Please. If you love me like you say you do, please
let me go home. Let me leave, don't you want me to be happy.
Brian: Of course Courtney. I want you to be happy more than anything.
Courtney: Well I'm not too happy with this gun pointed at my baby.
Brian: Morgan, you don't deserve this woman or this child. I don't
know why I'm doing this for you.
Jason: Just let them go.
Ric: Sonny. We didn't hurt them. We just took them long enough for
Lorenzo to set up his plan.
Sonny: Excuse me?
Brian: We took Courtney and Carly because we knew that it would
distract you. Alcazar is in position to start a major war.
Jason: Let them go. Courtney wouldn't look at Jason. He kept trying to
make eye contact with her but she avoided his gaze.
Brian: I love you Courtney. He was about to say something else, but
Courtney grabbed his mouth and kissed him, hard.
Sonny understood what his little sister was trying to do, and Jason
soon caught on after forcing himself to look away from his wife, who
was making out with a piece of trash.
They took their guns out and fired, the shots scared Brian and Ric,
forcing them to let the women go. Jason pushed Courtney behind him.
Sonny did the same with Carly. All four men had their guns drawn now.
Brian: That was nice Courtney. I always knew you would be good.
Jason: Shut up.
Brian: Are you gonna kill me Jason? I'm shaking.
Ric: Let's go. We have no reason to be here now.
Brian: This isn't over Morgan, Corinthos, Courtney.
Sonny: Leave.
Ric: Watch your territory Sonny. Keep your loved ones close boys. End.

***That night. PH2***

Jason and Courtney were in bed. Courtney was so glad that she was back
in her husband's arms again. She was laying on his chest, while he had
his hand on her stomach.
Jason: Emma grew so much.
Courtney: I know.
Jason: I was so scared for you, for our daughter.
Courtney: I made an appointment with Dr. Meadows for tomorrow.
Jason: Okay. I'll go with you.
Courtney: I'm sorry I kissed Brian. I just didn't know what to do.
Jason: Hey. It's okay. I know why you did it. You saved yourself and
Carly.
Courtney: I didn't want you to be mad at me.
Jason: I couldn't ever be mad at you.
Courtney: Good. Jason laughed.
Courtney: Are you laughing at me?
Jason: Yeah.
Courtney: You know what? I'm not tired. I'm hungry.
Jason: Yeah?
Courtney: No, I'm lying. Come on. Let's go have something to eat.
Jason: Wait!
Courtney: What? I'm star- Jason kissed her. It had been a month since
he had kissed her like this. He had missed her so much.
Courtney: Mmm. Come on Jase. I like that but really, your baby's
hungry.
Jason: Okay, come here.
Courtney: I can walk.
Jason: I know. But I want to carry you.
Courtney: I have no objections.
Jason: You put on some weight huh?
Courtney: Shut up! I'm gonna get a lot fatter than this.
Jason: I think you're beautiful, the bigger you get the more beautiful
you are.
Courtney: You won't be saying that when I can't see my feet.
Jason: I'll always think you're beautiful.
Courtney: I love being married to you.
Jason kissed her.
Jason: So, you're hungry.
Courtney: Yeah, you know what?
Jason: What?
Courtney: I want pizza. We don't even have to cook. We can have it
delivered! I'll get the phone.
Jason: No. No pizza.
Courtney: Excuse me?
Jason: I'll make you some broccoli or something, but no pizza.
Courtney: Fine. Well I guess I'm not hungry anymore.
Jason: You have to eat.
Courtney: No I don't.
Jason: Yes you do.
Courtney: Wanna bet?
Jason: Yeah.
Courtney: Okay. I bet you cannot make me eat whatever it is you call
food.
Jason: You don't think I can make you?
Courtney: Yeah that's what I said.
Jason: Well let's find out.
Jason started running toward Courtney. She quickly ran away. But she
didn't want to run too fast because of the baby. He knew this and
laughed. He caught up to her and put his hands around her waist, her
back to the counter.
Jason: Uhh, if I'm not mistaken Mrs. Morgan, I think I win.
Courtney: I'm not eating anything now am I?
Jason: I wasn't going to really make you eat. I just wanted to catch
you so I could do this. Jason kissed her passionately. His hand
sliding up to her neck. Courtney mumbled in between his kisses, I hate
you. You always win. Jason picked her up and carried her upstairs. He
had every intention on making love to her, but on the way up, she fell
asleep.

***3 months later. Courtney is now 5 ½ months pregnant, Carly is 6.
There has been no trouble from Ric, Lorenzo, or Brian.***

Courtney: Come on Jason! We're gonna be late!
Jason: No we're not. Calm down!
Courtney: I'm just excited. We finally get to find out the sex of the
baby for sure. She smiled. We already know that she's a girl, but you
know, this is just to be sure.
Jason: Right.
Courtney: Come on. Jason held the door open for his wife as she
waddled out of their penthouse.

Dr. Meadows: Mr. And Mrs. Morgan?
Jason: Yeah.
Dr. Meadows: Well, are you ready to see your baby?
Courtney: Yeah. We are.
Dr. Meadows: Okay. You see that, right there?
Courtney: Yeah.
Dr. Meadows: That's her head.
Jason: Her?
Dr. Meadows: Yes. You two are having a little girl.
Courtney: I knew it! I can't wait to tell Carly!
Jason: Is she okay?
Dr. Meadows: I'll be back soon, I'll look over it and make sure she is
perfectly healthy.
Courtney: Thank you. She said crying.
Dr. Meadows left.
Jason: Hey. What's wrong?
Courtney: We- we just waited for so long for this, and now it's
finally happening.
Jason: We're gonna have a daughter.
Courtney: Yeah. We are. Jason leaned over and kissed her.
Jason: I love you.
Courtney: I feel bad for this little girl.
Jason: Why?
Courtney: I can only imagine how crazy you are gonna be about her.
Jason: I'm just gonna love her, you know. I'll always protect her, and
I just want her to have a good life. The best one we can give her.
Courtney: I think we can give her a good one.
Jason: I think that too.
Dr. Meadows: I'm back.
Courtney: How's the baby?
Dr. Meadows: There's a problem.
Jason: What? What kind of problem?
Courtney was staring at Dr. Meadows as Jason grabbed her hand.
Dr. Meadows: The baby has a hole in its heart.
Courtney: No. No my daughter's fine. You're lying. Why does this
always happen to me? She cried as Jason held her.
Jason: What does that mean?
Dr. Meadows: Your daughter has a 60% chance of living. The odds are on
her side, and most likely the hole will heal itself.
Jason: What can we do?
Dr. Meadows: Mr. Morgan could I speak to you outside?
Jason looked at Courtney. She just nodded her head.
Jason and Dr. Meadows left her in her room.
Dr. Meadows: Mr. Morgan, I know what you do for a living. I am also
aware of your wife's recent kidnapping. This cannot happen again. It
puts her under way to much stress. Not to mention the baby is in
constant danger.
Jason: I know. Trust me, they'll be safe.
Dr. Meadows: Now, you have two options here. We can keep Courtney in
the hospital for the remainder of her pregnancy, or you can take her
home.
Jason: I want to take her home. There's no way she would go for
staying in the hospital for 3 months.
Dr. Meadows: Okay. But I need your word that you will make sure she
eats right.
Jason: Okay.
Dr. Meadows: She doesn't leave the house unless it's an emergency. No
shopping. No working. Nothing.
Jason: Alright. Thank you Dr. Meadows.
Dr. Meadows: You will have another appointment in 2 weeks so I can be
sure that she isn't experiencing anything out of the ordinary. If
there is ever a problem, bring her right in and ask for me.
Jason: Okay.
Dr. Meadows: Now go and tell your wife what's going on.
Jason walked back into Courtney's room.
Courtney: Jason. I'm so sorry. She was crying hysterically.
Jason: No. You have nothing to apologize for.
Courtney: Whenever I'm pregnant something always goes wrong.
Jason: Our daughter has a hole in her heart Courtney. She's not dead.
The odds are in her favor. She needs you to be strong for her. Fight
for her Courtney.
Courtney: You know I will.
Jason walked over to her a kissed her head.
Jason: Okay. Dr. Meadows told me that I can take you home, but you
rest and you have to eat right. She told me that you can't go on any
shopping expeditions or work. You stay safe at home.
Courtney: I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that Emma is okay.
Jason: Well come on then. Let's go.
Jason got up and took his leather jacket and put it around his wife.
Courtney: I'm walking.
Jason: You sure?
Courtney: Yeah.
Jason: Too bad. I'm carrying you.
Courtney: You know, I'm not like.... Paralyzed. Our daughter is sick.
That doesn't mean I can't walk.
Jason: I know. I just like having you in my arms.
Jason picked her up and smiled.
Jason: Wow. You are heavy.
Courtney: Oh. Look somebody thinks he's funny.
Jason: I thought that was funny. Jason said trying to sound hurt.
Courtney: Even though the baby's sick, do you still think I'm
beautiful?
Jason: You get more beautiful every day.
Courtney, satisfied with his answer, snuggled into her husband's arms
as he carried her out of the hospital. And just like he thought she
would, she fell asleep. Little did they know that Brian had been
watching them, disgusted. End.

***Courtney is 8 months pregnant. Carly has just given birth to Morgan
Michelle Corinthos. Courtney hasn't been feeling too well.***

Jason Morgan walked up the stairs that led to the baby's room. Him and
Courtney had worked so hard on it the past few months, and it looked
great. The walls were pink. Emma already had a ton of toys and a crib.
Courtney even made Jason go out and buy diapers and bottles just so
she could be ready.
Courtney: Hey there Emma. Momma's not feeling too good today. I hope
you're doing okay in there. You take up so much room honey. Jason
watched as she placed her hand on her stomach. You're gonna be an
active little thing aren't you? You've been kicking me all day! Hey
Emma.... Her voice got softer, you're my little miracle. I know that
you're gonna be okay. I love you. Courtney said as she rocked back and
forth in the rocking chair. She then tipped her head back and closed
her eyes. Jason felt it was best not to disturb her. She hadn't been
feeling well the past few days. She needed sleep. Jason went back
downstairs with a huge smile on his face, until it was wiped away by a
scream from upstairs. Courtney. He thought as he ran, as fast as he
could to get to her.

Carly: Sonny!!
Sonny: Ssh! I just got Morgan to sleep.
Carly: Sorry. I'm sorry. I just- I thought I heard a scream that's
all.
Sonny: Go to bed Carly. You're obviously tired.
Carly: Yeah. You're right. I'm exhausted, and I'm sure Morgan will
have me up at 11:00 anyways.
Sonny: Don't worry about Morgan tonight. I'll take care of him. You
just really need to sleep.
Carly: Really Sonny?
Sonny:Yeah.
Carly: OOH! Thank you! Thank you!
Sonny: You owe me. Big time.
Carly: Yeah Yeah Yeah.
Sonny: Goodnight.
Carly: I love you.
Sonny: I love you too.
Someone screamed. Sonny and Carly both looked at the door, and said
simultaneously, Courtney. End.

Courtney: Jason. Jason help me! There's something wrong. Oww!! She
yelled in pain.
Jason: Okay. Okay, uhh... MAX!!!!
Max: Yes, Mr. Morgan? Oh my gosh! Mrs. Morgan....
Jason: Get the car, now.
Max: Yes right away.
Courtney: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Jason. She said crying.
Jason had no idea what to do, he picked his wife up and carried her to
the elevator.
Sonny: Courtney? Jason? What the hell is going on?
Carly: Oh my God.
Courtney had passed out.
Jason: Come on. We have to get her to the hospital!

*At the hospital*

Jason: Hey- hey my wife, she needs to see Dr. Meadows now!
Nurse: May I ask what is wrong?
Jason: Are you blind? She's pregnant and passed out!
Nurse: Is there anything we should know about before we take her into
examination?
Jason: The baby has a hole in her heart.
Carly and Sonny gasped.
Carly: What?
Jason: Look, I don't have time for this okay? Get my wife into
surgery, or whatever she needs now!
Nurse: Here comes Bobbie with the gurney!
Bobbie: Oh no! Courtney! Jason what happened?
Jason: She screamed when I was downstairs, so I went to get her and
she told me she was sorry and then she passed out.
Bobbie: Okay. I know about Emma's condition. Dr. Meadows is waiting in
OR2. Let's go.
Jason watched as they wheeled Courtney away.
Sonny: Your baby is sick?
Jason: Yeah.
Carly: Jase, I'm so sorry. Carly hugged him. She'll be okay. They both
will be.
Bobbie was running towards them.
Bobbie: Courtney has to have a C-Section.
Jason: Is she gonna be okay?
Bobbie: We don't know.
Jason: Can I be with her?
Bobbie: Yeah. She's asking for you. She just woke up.
Jason: What was wrong?
Bobbie: She was going into labor. The pain caused her to pass out.
She's in room 321.
Jason: Thanks Bobbie.
He started running towards Courtney's room. When he got there, he saw
Brian Beck standing outside the door.
Jason: I don't have time for you.
He walked right past him and opened the door to Courtney's hospital
room.
Courtney: I'm so scared.
Jason: It's gonna be okay. Our daughter is going to be fine. Look who
she has for a mother. Courtney, you're the strongest woman I know.
Courtney: I love you. I just wanted to have my baby the normal way,
you know, without complications. She started crying again.
Jason: As long as she gets here.
Courtney: Yeah. As long as she gets here.
Dr. Meadows: Ready Courtney?
Courtney: Yeah.
Dr. Meadows: We are going to have to give you a sedative because your
blood pressure is too high. You will wake up shortly after your
daughter is born.
Courtney: Okay. Make sure she's okay Dr. Meadows.
Dr. Meadows: I'm sure she will be. Mr. Morgan, I'm sorry but you can't
be present during the Cesarian Section.
Courtney: No. No he has to stay. Please. I won't be able to do it
without him Dr. Meadows. And I want Jason to be the first person Emma
sees.
Jason: it's okay Courtney. I can wait with Sonny and Carly. I'll come
in as soon as she's born.
Courtney: No please Jason. Please don't leave me in here. Please, she
begged.
Dr. Meadows: It's against hospital policy, but I like you two, so Mr.
Morgan, go get scrubbed up please. When you get back, your wife will
be asleep.
Jason: Can I talk to her for a minute?
Dr. Meadows: You have about thirty seconds.
Jason: Thank you.
Dr. Meadows: I'll be back.
Jason: Are you in pain?
Courtney: Not too bad. I just want Emma to get here. I just wish I was
strong enough to be awake for the birth of my daughter. But at least
you will be. You know, I bet she's gonna be beautiful. I hope she
looks like you.
Jason: She'll be beautiful. That's obvious, look how gorgeous her
mother is.
Courtney: I hope we do good.
Jason: You'll be a great mom.
Courtney: You'll be an even better dad.
Dr. Meadows: Okay Mr. Morgan, go get washed up if you want to be here.
Jason: Ok. I love you Courtney. So much.
Courtney: I love you too. No matter what happens. Thank you for
sitting with me through this, even though I won't be awake, I'll know
that you're there. It will help me.
Jason: Next time you see me, I'm gonna be holding our baby girl.
Courtney: I can't wait.
Jason kissed her passionately. Then he held her hand as the nurse gave
Courtney the shot that would make her sleep.
Jason: I love you. You're so strong. I hope Emma is everything you
are. He absentmindedly stroked her hair. He then went to get scrubbed
up. In about an hour, he was going to be a father. End.
