Chapter 3

Cali sat at the table with a chocolate sprinkle frosted doughnut in front of her. She had more of it on her face and shirt than she had gotten in her mouth. She continued to eat up all the sprinkles on the table with one hand as she held her sippy cup full of milk in the other hand.

Courtney and Kyle sat in the other room on the couch. Courtney continually looked up at the table to check on Cali.

"Would you stop that," Kyle said.

"No. I'm supposed to worry," Courtney said.

"She's sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast, Court."

"I know, I know," Courtney said as she looked up to see Cali getting up.

"Mommy, All done," Cali said as she held onto her sippy cup and jumped down from her chair spreading chocolate and crumbs everywhere.

"All right," Courtney said as she walked her daughter out of the room to get cleaned up.

Courtney returned a few minutes later. Her shirt was soaking wet. Kyle had to laugh.

"Shut up," Courtney said firmly as Kyle continued to laugh.

"This is so not funny, "Courtney said pointing to her shirt, trying to remain serious.

"Cali decided to splash in the sink. She thought it would be like when she takes a bath," Courtney said with a little laugh as she sat on the couch next to Kyle.

"Told you it was funny," Kyle said as he stopped laughing, "So where's Cali."

"Playing in her room," Courtney replied.

"Did you look it over," Kyle asked.

"Yeah," Courtney said as she ran her hand down her face, "I'm done Kyle. I've told you, and your Dad that already."

"Court, you know that's not how it works. Besides, you're the best at what you do."

"I know, you tell me that every time. Look it's more complicated than me just wanting out." Courtney sighed.

"How much more," Kyle asked getting worried.

"So much more," Courtney said as she brought her head to her hands.

"How complicated," Kyle prodded.

"Look," Courtney said as turned to Kyle, "If I do this, I do it my way."

"Ok," Kyle responded softly.

"That means I will only go so far, Do so much," Courtney said firmly.

"What are we talking about," Kyle asked skeptically, "You know my Dad don't like to ease up."

"I get that, but he made me a deal. Carly would be out. So I'll do everything but destroy her life."

-.-

She stood in front of the building holding her sleeping daughter. It had been a few days since her talk with Kyle. She had a long road ahead of her. So many people in this town knew her, or had heard of her. She was good at what she did, being undetected and lethal, but she had this last job she had to do before she got out.

Kyle had gotten his Father to agree to her terms. Granted Johnson wasn't happy that she wouldn't do it, he got over it. He was asking a lot of her this time, and she would deliver.

She walked up the stairs and to her new home. She had to get settled, keep the suspicions as to what she was doing down. So she would stay in the town, make nice with the residence, and then make herself known, not that she hadn't started trouble already.

It was a nice place Kyle had found for her. There was a sitting room where she could put her couch, a TV, and entertainment system, not to mention Cali's toys. There was an open kitchen that was separated from the living room by a counter that extended out of the wall. Some chairs around it would make it perfect to watch Cali as she played in the other room.

There was a hallway off to the side that led to two large rooms. Cali could easily fit her toys in, and Courtney would have space to work. Currently though they would have to live with sleeping on the mattress in the corner. It was late, and Courtney would get things in set up in the morning when the rest of their boxes arrived.

Settling in for the night she tucked Cali in under the blankets and watched the girl roll onto her stomach. She always liked to sleep like that. Courtney gently climbed under the covers next to her daughter and fell asleep.

-.-

"DAMIT!" Sonny screamed as he threw the glass across the room barley missing Jason's head as he entered.

"You ok," Jason asked.

"No," Sonny replied not yet looking up, "We got problems."

"How bad," Jason questioned.

"No direct threats to us, but there is someone in town."

"Any idea who?"

"No, They've left threats for Alcazar, but that's all," Sonny replied in frustration.

"I'll look into it. Don't worry Sonny. Everything is going to be fine."

"Don't tell me not to worry. Sam is pregnant with my daughter, and some unknown threat is in town for god knows what. I am worried," Sonny said, "How is Sam anyways?"

-.-

"Pick up your on...URG," Sam said as she waited for Jason to answer his phone.

"This is crazy," Sam said to herself as she walked across the hall.

"Let me in," She said to Max who was standing guard at Sonny's penthouse door.

Not wanting to deal with the brunette he opened the door allowing her access to the room. Sam walked in to find Carly and Michael playing a board game and Morgan asleep in the play pen.

"Where's Jason," Sam said extremely loud scaring both Carly and Michael.

"Not here," Carly said annoyed.

"Then where is he and why isn't he answering his phone," Sam said a little bit louder than before.

"Probably with my daddy at work," Michael said.

"No one asked you," Sam snottily remarked.

"Michael, baby can you go upstairs and get ready for bed, it's well past your bed time. I'll be up in a sec to tuck you in," Carly said.

"Sure," he responded as he left.

"Don't talk to my son like that," Carly said once Michael was gone.

"Where's Jason," Sam screamed.

"He works ya know. He has a job. His world doesn't revolve around you and your spawn," Carly said getting upset.

"It will," Sam said firmly.

"No it won't," Carly said just as firmly with a smirk, "You're nothing to him. You're just Sonny's pregnant mistress who he is helping out."

"YOU'RE WRONG," Sam screamed waking Morgan from his slumber.

Carly went to tend to her crying son as Sam continued to scream. Carly didn't hear a word of it as she was too busy trying to calm her son.

Sonny and Jason had both walked out of the elevator to be met with the screams of a woman. Both men looked to Max with questions in their eyes.

"Sam," was all Max said as he opened the door for the two men.

Jason and Sonny entered the penthouse to Sam screaming some nonsense about Sonny and Carly getting Jason killed, and a flustered Carly with the crying infant.

"Sam," Jason said calmly catching Carly's attention, but not Sam's

"Sam," Sonny called. No reaction from Sam yet again.

"YO SAM," Carly screamed finally shutting the whiney brunette up, "Jason, and Sonny are BOTH behind you so take your pregnant ass and walk it out my door so I can put my son back to sleep."

Sam turned around, a huge smile on her face as she threw herself at Jason. Carly rolled her eyes as she went up the stairs and laughed to herself.

"Yeah, you're his world," Carly scoffed as she watched Jason struggle to get out of the vipers grasp, "Don't struggle too much Jase, it only makes it worse."

And with that Carly was up the stairs with a not so fussy Morgan.

"Jase, You should get Sam across the hall and to bed. She needs her rest," Sonny said trying to hide his laughter.

"Yeah," Jason replied as he peeled Sam off of himself. He opened the door for Sam and she walked out with a huge smile on her face. Jason turned to Sonny with a pleading look in his eyes that only caused Sonny to let out a chuckle.

"Sorry man," Sonny said as Jason shut the door behind him.

Sonny looked around the penthouse and laughed. His life had gotten so confusing, and with this new threat he was worried.

Shutting off the lights Sonny made his way up the stairs. He would sleep tonight and worry about everything tomorrow.
