Authors Notes: (Warning: I rant a bit in this paragraph, at no one in particular. Just me getting a few things out in the open) Hey all, Thanks for all the feedback, it's much appreciated. I am glad you all like it. I just wanted to saw that I write Sam how I feel she is, I am not, and never will be, a Sam fan, I was indifferent to her while she was with Jax, she was tolerable, but they changed who she was, and in the process they changed one of my fav. Characters, so it just won't happen, I can't write Sam any other way. It helps me to relieve anger if I write her like I do. I hope anyone who reads this who is a Sam fan still reads, but this is a Journey fic, and I plan to put some Carson in as well. That's just who I am, a full-fledged Journey fan, with a liking of Carson.

Ok, I'm done with my mini rant, I hope I haven't scarred anyone off with what I said above, but once I get started I can't stop. I wasn't trying to be mean, I just wanted people to know how I felt, and that I will most likely rag on Sam, A lot. It's how I work. Yes I am a weird one.

These are the last of the chapters that I have typed up currently, and it may be a bit before I update again, so enjoy!

Chapter 9

As the two continued to stare into the others eyes, they slowly leaned into each other. They were so close, lips almost touching, as the door was slammed shut causing the two to break apart.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" Sam screamed causing everyone to look at her.

Sam stood glaring at Courtney, a look of pure hate in her eyes. This woman, in a day, had already made more friends than Sam had in the town. Not to mention gotten further with Jason than Sam could ever think of, he was about to kiss her, and Sonny and Carly were just watching.

Courtney wasn't sure if she was disappointed or relieved. She wasn't sure if kissing Jason would have helped her current situation, but she had to admit that having him hold her seemed so familiar, and safe. She felt drawn to his lips, to him, and she couldn't explain it.

Jason had no idea what was going on. Why had he almost kissed her? Why had he wanted her so bad in that instant? He had never remembered wanting, or needing, a person as much as he had her in that moment. So what was it about Courtney?

Carly's disappointment showed on her face. She had wanted them to kiss, her best friend's. She was quite angry that the home wrecking tramp. Why couldn't the woman just stay at Jason's for once?

Sonny was trying to hide his laughter. The look on his wife's face was priceless, she was so mad. Jase and Courtney were both flustered, and Sam was as pissed as Carly. Sonny knew why his wife was mad, she had wanted the two, on the couch, Courtney still on Jason's lap, to kiss. It didn't happen then, but Sonny wasn't worried, he knew all good things took time.

"Well," Sam asked as she tapped her foot.

"Well what," Courtney said as she got off of Jason.

"What was that," Sam said pointing between her and Jase who was getting himself up off the couch.

"Why do…" Carly started only to be cut off.

"This," Courtney said as she pointed between her and Jason, "Mmhhh…It's nothing big. We were just about to put a show on for Sonny and Carly. They said the couch needed to be broken in before they could use it. So, Jason being the helpful person he is volunteered us to do so. That sound about right Carly?"

Carly couldn't answer. She was doubling over in laughter. Courtney's comment had got her going, and the looks around the room had kept her going, Jason had a look of complete and utter shock on his face, Sonny was not far behind in the shock department. Sam on the other hand stood open-mouthed covered in shock, and hate.

Slowly Carly approached Courtney, and gave her a hug, as she continued to laugh. Carly used Courtney to support herself, as the laughter wouldn't stop, neither did the looks on the faces of the three around the two blondes.

"Oh God. That was funny," Carly, cried as she slowly broke away from Courtney's embrace, and wiped the tears that had formed due to all the laughing she had done, "You crack me up."

"That's great Car," Courtney laughed, "You look hungry.'

Carly stood mouth gapped open in shock, as she looked at her friend her sister. Then as if out of thin air her stomach let out a load rumble, causing both Carly and Courtney to giggle.

"Yup," Carly said as she took Courtney's arm and led her to the kitchen.

"What was that," Sonny finally spoke once both blondes were in the kitchen.

"I have no clue," spoke a flustered Jason, who had watched Courtney walk into the kitchen with Carly.

Sam who was still in shock over the events that just happened turned to face Jason.

"She was lying right," Sam spoke as she walked to Jason and did the best she could to look desperate,

"About what," Jason questioned.

"About you and her, and the couch. I just don't know what I would do, this baby would do," Sam replied as she reached for Jason's hand and placed it on her bulging belly, "If you left us.'

Sonny was standing behind Jason trying his best to hide his laughter. Sam was one crazy woman, rather sad too, if you asked the mob boss.

"Ooohh," Courtney spoke as her and Carly walked out of the kitchen with the food, "You might want to sanitize your hand Jase. You never know where that woman's belly has been. I would hate for you to get some sort of disease from her. Carly here says she's been with every man in Port Charles."

Carly once again was laughing her ass off, as she almost dropped the serving dish she brought out from the kitchen containing the veggies. Courtney quickly grabbed the dish from Carly before she could drop it, as the woman grabbed the back of a chair to keep herself from falling.

Jason, and Sonny were in complete and total shock at both of the blondes. Both men swore they had never seen Carly laugh as hard as she was ever. Of course both women laughed a lot in the company of each other, when they weren't working. Courtney on the other hand had both men completely confused. She had some mouth on her.

"Are you going to let her talk to me like that," Sam spoke as she glared at the mob men.

"They have no control over what I say, or how I act. You got a problem with me take it up with me," Courtney spoke firmly as she looked at Sam.

Sam just glared at the woman before her. She didn't like the blonde, not at all. She was going to have to be dealt with, and Sam knew just who to ask. Her Brother.

Dinner went reasonably well. Sam didn't say a word, as she was afraid of what Courtney would say next. Jason had stayed silent most of dinner, as Carly and Courtney chitchatted about all the cute things their kids did. Dessert came, and the conversation picked up.

"So when did you get into town," Sonny questioned.

"Late last night," Courtney spoke as she took another bit of her cake.

"Oh. Do you have a job, or some other reason for being in town," Sonny asked.

"Sonny," Carly scolded, "It's none of your business what Court is doing in P.C."

"I think it is," Sam butted in, "I mean, she gets here not even twenty-four hours ago, and is already friends with Sonny's wife, and hit man. Give me a break."

All turned to look at Sam as she spoke so casually about the business Sonny, and Jason did.

"I don't mind Carly," Courtney spoke ignoring Sam, "The Company I work for recently purchased some waterfront property, they sent me to get things in order."

"You realize that Sonny and I do much of our business through the docks," Jason spoke.

"I'm sure I would have learned that eventually," Courtney spoke as she stood already knowing about the docks, "I should get going. Cali needs to get to bed."

Sonny, Jason, and Carly all stood as Courtney did. Carly went up the stairs and retrieved Cali. Sam had gone across the hall sometime ago saying she was tired. She had wanted Jason to go with, but he had said he was still eating, so she went by herself.

"Well it was nice to meet you," Sonny spoke as he shook Courtney's hand.

"You too. I had fun," Courtney commented, as she took a tired Cali from Carly.

"Today was fun, we should do it again. How are you getting back to your place," Carly asked.

"Yeah it was. I was going to walk, I need the exercise," Courtney spoke.

"With a little girl I don't think so," Jason spoke, "I can take you."

"I'll call a car," Carly said with a smile as she made her way for the phone.

"Look, I'll be fine. Trust me, I'm a big girl, and don't need you to walk me home. And I'm walking,' Courtney firmly stated.

"Fine," Jason said as he grabbed his leather jacket, "I'll walk with you."

"Urrrrrggggg," Courtney screamed as she walked out the door closely followed by a smirking Jason.

"Night Court," Carly said with a giggle as she shut the door behind the three people that just exited her home.
