***PCPD 2 Hours Later…. Courtney & Jason in the Interrogation Room***
Jason was, once again, in handcuffs in the PCPD Interrogation Room. He was wondering how Emma was when Courtney came in.
Jason: Hey. He got up to go and hug her, even with the handcuffs on he could still do it.
Courtney: Hi. How are you holding up?
Jason: Fine. How's Emma? Did she stop crying?
Courtney: Yeah, eventually. She misses you already Jase. Please tell me you don't have to spend the night.
Jason: I don't know yet, but if I do, can you bring Emma here so I can say goodnight to her.
Courtney: Yeah of course. I don't think she'll go to sleep without you. It's gonna be a rough night if you have to stay here.
Jason: She'll be fine.
Courtney: Hopefully. Hold on. I'm gonna go talk to Ric or Justus or whoever I need to talk to, to get you released.
Jason: Courtney wait!
Courtney: Yeah?
Jason: Sonny and I are going to trial.
Courtney: Excuse me?
Jason: I'm not getting released tonight. There's no use in trying. Besides, there's no evidence anyways. Ric's charges won't hold up in court.
Courtney: I need you home Jason. What if Emma wakes up in the middle of the night and wants you Jason? What am I supposed to say? Sorry honey. Daddy's in jail you can't see him right now. Jason looked down.
Courtney: I'm sorry Jase. I didn't mean for it to come out like that, but what am I supposed to tell her?
Jason: When you bring her tonight I'll talk to her.
Courtney: I'm sorry I snapped at you like that. I know that these charges are just because you were protecting our family.
Jason: Justus is a good lawyer. Me and Sonny will be outta here soon.
Ric opened the door.
Ric: Courtney, I'm glad you're here.
Courtney: Why?
Ric: Could I speak to you outside for a moment?
Courtney: You can speak to me right here.
Ric: I'd prefer to speak to you outside Courtney.
Jason: Are you not listening to her? She said she's staying right here.
Ric: Courtney, I think Jason wants to hear what I have to tell you.
Jason: You're damn right I do.
Courtney: Lets just get this over with Ric.
Ric: Okay. Well first of all, your husband's going to jail for killing your boyfriend.
Courtney: Brian stalked me Ric. And he kidnapped me, as did you. Whoever killed him deserves a medal.
Ric: Jason, I'll be sure to hang your medal up in your cell, along with the pictures of your wife and your daughter. You won't be seeing them too often in jail. I'm sure Courtney wouldn't like Emma to see you behind bars with her uncle Sonny.
Courtney: Shut up Ric! God you are such a hypocrite!
Ric: I have a few questions for you Courtney.
Courtney: Hurry up.
Ric: A man shot bullets through the windows at your home correct?
Courtney: Yes.
Ric: You then found a letter, written to you from Brian Beck.
Courtney: Uh huh.
Ric: What did this letter say?
Courtney: I'm sure you've read it Ric.
Ric: Oh that's right. I did.
Courtney: So why are you asking me what it said?
Jason: He wants to torture you.
Ric: On the contrary Jason. I happen to like the mobster wives.
Jason: Shut up Ric. Do you ever get tired of hearing yourself talk.
Ric: Courtney, how is your daughter doing? She must be traumatized by the incident.
Courtney: My daughter isn't your concern.
Ric: Courtney, you can go home now. I have a few things I'd like to discuss with your husband here.
Courtney: Well, let me say goodbye to him then.
Ric: I don't think so.
Jason: Courtney just go. Emma must be tired.
Courtney: We'll be here in 30 minutes to say goodnight.
Jason: Alright.
Courtney exited the room.
Ric: So Jason, are you gonna have Courtney bring your daughter here every night so you can give her a kiss, or you know read her a story?
Jason: Where's Sonny?
Ric: Already in lockup.
Jason: I need to see him.
Ric: You will be soon enough.
Jason: I need you to take these handcuffs off me Ric before my daughter gets here.
Ric: Why?
Jason: Because she's a little girl.
Ric: Yes. I understand that.
Jason: Ric I don't exactly enjoy asking you for favors, just do this for Courtney.
Ric: For Courtney?
Jason nodded.
Ric: For Courtney. He said as he took the handcuffs off Jason.
Jason: You can leave now.
Ric: What no thank you? Not that I was expecting one.
Jason: Get out before Courtney and my daughter get here.
Ric: Jason, you should really improve your attitude.
Ric left the room and breathed a sigh of relief. Now his only problem was explaining to his one year old daughter why he wasn't going to be able to tuck her in at night.
As he was thinking about what to say, he saw from the little window in the room Courtney walk in carrying Emma and her bottle, her favorite book and her blanket. She was in her pajamas.
A police officer opened the door for her as Jason got up and helped her by removing all of their daughter's belongings from her arms.
Jason: Why didn't you have Max carry these in for you?
Courtney: I didn't bring Max.
Jason: Courtney. You know you have to bring Max. especially when you have Emma with you.
Courtney: Please Jason. Don't argue with me. Not tonight. She said as she placed Emma into his arms.
Emma: Daddy. Mommy said that you can't come home. You have to tuck me in here.
Jason: Yeah. It's okay though. You brought your story right?
Emma nodded her head, looking extremely sad and staring off into space as Jason always did when he was thinking.
It broke Courtney's heart to witness this. Her eyes were welling up with tears as Jason gave her her bottle and her blanket and opened her book and began to read to her.
After the story was over Emma was still awake. Normally whenever Jason read to her she fell asleep.
Emma: Daddy. She began to cry.
Jason looked at Courtney who quickly turned around because she was crying too.
Jason: Hey baby. Ssh. I'm right here. You don't have to cry.
Emma: Daddy I want go home wif you. If you don't come home Daddy the bad guys will get me. Daddy… the bad guys. She sobbed into her father's chest.
Courtney had turned around as soon as she heard her daughter say that. She looked at Jason, they didn't know how to comfort her.
Jason: What bad guys Emma?
Emma just sobbed. Daddy…
Courtney: Emma, Mommy will be home with you. It's okay sweetie.
Emma just continued sobbing.
Jason just held his daughter up against his chest like he used to when she was a newborn. She was clutching to him for dear life, letting her bottle and her blanket fall to the floor. He hoped that she would cry herself to sleep so Courtney wouldn't have to try and get her to bed when she got home.
Courtney: Jason, she whispered. Ric and Scott are coming.
Ric and Scott opened the door. Courtney had gotten in front of them, pushing them out into the big room.
Courtney: He needs more time.
Scott: We've given Morgan more time than he deserves.
Courtney: My daughter is in there bawling Scott because she thinks the bad guys will get her if he doesn't come home. Please, please let him get her to go to sleep then I promise that we'll leave.
Ric: it's way past time now. Morgan should have been in his cell and hour ago.
Courtney: Ric, after everything you've done to hurt me and my family, the very least you can do is to let my husband take care of our daughter.
Scott: There was no evidence Mrs. Morgan.
Courtney: I am well aware, thank you Scott.
Jason then walked out of the Interrogation Room, holding his sleeping daughter in his arms.
Scott: Morgan, give the kid to Courtney. Come on let's get you down to lockup.
Jason: Here Court. Just, yeah okay there we go. He kissed his daughter on her blonde head. I love you.
Emma: I love you more, she mumbled.
Courtney: How'd you do it?
Jason: Do what?
Courtney: Get her to stop crying.
Jason: She tired herself out.
Courtney: She loves you so much, you should have seen her on the way here. It was like playing 21 questions.
Jason: Yeah. I'm sorry this is happening. I hopefully will get out on bail tomorrow.
Courtney: You will. Then you can come home and make this up to me.
He kissed her.
Courtney: I love you. I'll come by in the morning.
Jason: Okay. I love you too.
Ric: Okay this is all touching and everything but come on Morgan, lets move it.
They put the handcuffs back on Jason as Courtney watched, holding her sleeping daughter. She tried to give Jason a small smile but it didn't seem to work. Before she started to cry again, she had to get out of that room. Courtney didn't want Jason to see her cry. Then he would feel worse.
As she walked away, Jason knew she was crying. But being the caring person that she is, she tried to hide it so he wouldn't feel bad. He loved her more than anything in the world.
Scott: Lucky! Take Morgan down to lockup. Put him in the cell next to Corinthos.
Lucky led Jason down to the cells.
Sonny: Jason. Have you seen Carly?
Jason: No why?
Sonny: She left upset, I just wanted to know if she stopped by to see you.
Jason: No she didn't.
Sonny: Have you seen Emma?
Jason: Yeah. Courtney brought her by in her pj's and I read to her.
Sonny: Was she upset?
Jason: Yeah. She told me that she needed me to come home so the bad guys wouldn't get her.
Sonny: Wow. That must have been tough.
Jason: I felt so bad for her, she was sobbing uncontrollably. She eventually tired herself out and fell asleep.
Sonny: Did Court take her home?
Jason: Yeah. Did Carly bring Michael and Morgan by?
Sonny: I told her not to. I would hate for them to see me behind bars.
Jason: well I'm just glad Justus is back. At least we'll get out on bail.
Sonny: We better.
Jason: We have to. I can't go through another night like this. End.
Jason was, once again, in handcuffs in the PCPD Interrogation Room. He was wondering how Emma was when Courtney came in.
Jason: Hey. He got up to go and hug her, even with the handcuffs on he could still do it.
