Chapter 7

Courtney and Carly had shopped all morning. They had gotten everything, from furniture to household essentials like soap, and food. Carly had gotten some of her guards to move things in as both girls sat on the mattress in the corner of the main room.

They hadn't really talked much about why Courtney was there while they were shopping. They had just gotten into their old groove. Where the just shopped and forgot their problems.

Finally after many orders were yelled from both women, as they remained seated on the mattress all the furniture was in place, and bags in the house. None of the guards were happy as both women changed their minds of where things should go numerous times.

"Anything else Mrs. Corinthos," Max asked out of breath.

"No Max. That will be all. You and the rest of the boys can go," Carly commented with a giggle as she watched Max exit the room to stand outside the room.

"THANKS," Courtney screamed just as the door slammed shut causing both girls to giggle.

"Oh my god," Carly said as she caught her breath, "I missed that."

"What," Courtney asked.

"Me and you," Carly said as the room suddenly grew very serious.

Courtney stood quickly as she walked over to the boxes containing her, and her daughter's belongings. She really didn't want to have to tell Carly why she was there. She had enjoyed spending time with the woman who was so much like a big sister to her. Sure they hadn't really gotten along at first, but things change, they changed.

Carly noticed the change in her friend. She got quite, she always did when something wasn't right, and she was worried. Carly knew some was up, she could always tell with Court.

Carly stood and walked to Courtney's side at the boxes. Courtney was ignoring her friend as she busily unpacked boxes. Carly just watched her work for a second before grabbing both her hands and pinning then to her sides. The two women looked each other straight in the eye, neither ready to speak at the moment.

"What's going on," Carly finally spoke.

"You really don't want to know," Courtney said as she freed her arms and went to put some of Cali's toys away.

Carly followed the woman into the little girls room, it was a soft pink color with a unicorn border, there was a bunk bed in the corner, the top was full of stuff animal. There were bins for her toys around the room, and a table in the corner with art supplies on it, a rocking chair sat near the door, while there were cushions on the floor for Cali to sit on.

Carly never would have guessed Courtney one to one to have a daughter, then again she never thought that she herself would be married with two kids. There was so much that neither of them thought that they would have since that night, but somehow they both survived, and neither one of them was the same after that night.

"Would you stop," Carly practically screamed as Courtney continued to put toys away.

"No. I won't," Courtney said, as she turned to face Carly.

"What's going on Courtney," Carly asked a bit worried.

"They located her," Courtney said as she looked to the floor.

"Located who," Carly asked scared of the answer.

"Johnson's Granddaughter, Kyle's niece. However you see the girl, she's here, in Port Charles. And it's not going to be pretty," Courtney said as she looked her friend in the eyes.

"Oh," Carly said barley audible.

"That's not all, Carly," Courtney replied, "I'm supposed to make them pay, all of them, for taking her from her mother. Abby was a mess after her baby girl went missing, it's why she...that's not the point." Courtney said with a shake of her head, "Look things are going to get messy, and I'm afraid you're going to be stuck in the middle."

"Why," Carly asked as the two women continued to look at each other.

Courtney looked at Her friend, her sister, she didn't remember. Maybe she remembered the actions, but her lack of knowledge on the subject made Courtney think she didn't remember everything. That's probably why she could start her life all over here, she didn't remember.

"You don't remember, do you," Courtney said more as a fact then a question.

-.-

Jason sat on the bench, thinking. He should be at one of the warehouses right now. He had paperwork to do, not to mention halting some of the illegal activity while Durrant was in town. Sonny had also mentioned a new threat he had to look into. Jason was pretty sure that it was just Alcazar, but Sonny wasn't, so Jase had to check it out.

Jason had instead ended up at the park sitting on that bench thinking. Carly had pushed the boys off on him, not that he minded. He loved his nephews. What got to him was the woman she went with. Courtney. She had a little girl, Cali, who Carly had also got him to watch. She was a cute kid, but her mother didn't even know him and she just let him watch her. He was starting to think that Carly and Courtney knew each other.

"Ugle Ason, Ugle Ason," Morgan said as he pulled on his Uncles pant leg bringing him from his thoughts.

"Yes Morgan," Jason said as he lifted the two year old into the air.

"Sing, Sing," Morgan said as he pointed to the swings by which Cali and Michael were both patiently waiting.

"Ok," Jason said with a laugh as he approached the swings, and set Morgan in one.

Michael hopped up on a swing and waited for his uncle to push him. Once Morgan was situated Jason began pushing Michael. Both boys were swinging when he noticed Cali hugging a metal pole of the swing set. He gave both boys a few more push's before he went to squat in front of the little blonde girl.

Cali didn't seem to want to talk to him much that morning. He had gotten the boy's food while Cali colored and she said nothing. The played at the penthouse a bit and she seemed to be fine with the boy's. She didn't talk much but she played. Then when the got to the park she played with the boy's some but not much.

"Hi," Jason finally spoke getting Cali to look at him, "Do you want to swing."

"No," Cali said in a whisper.

"Why," Jason asked.

"Mommy always swings with me," Cali said as she looked down again.

"Really," Jason said, "How does that work?"

"I sit on her lap on the big people swing," Cali answered proudly, "I don't like the baby swings."

"Well would I work," Jason asked with a laugh.

Cali nodded her head as Jason picked her up. Michael had gotten off to push Morgan as Jason sat on s swing with Cali in his lap. He began to lightly push his feet against the ground as the two moved ever so gently. Cali just sat in his lap for a bit trying to get comfortable. She finally stopped moving in his lap.

Jason looked down. There in his lap was Cali, curled up in his lap almost asleep. The little girl looked so peaceful. He turned his head to look at Morgan, and sure enough the little boy's eyes were fighting to stay open.

Slowly Jason took his phone from his pocket and called for a car. Rising from his spot he gently lifted Cali with him. He approached Michael and Morgan, as the swing stopped. Situating Cali in one arm he picked Morgan up in the other.

"Come on Michael," Jason said softly, "Time to get back."

It was a sight to see. Jason Morgan walking away from the park with two sleeping children in his arms and another following closely at his side. Who would have thought they would see such a site.
