Sorry it has been so long since my last update. I thought I would have tons of time to update when I was done with classes and on break, but I was wrong. I'm busier now than I was when I had classes. Anyway, I finally did it, I wrote an update. I had some trouble deciding where to go next, but I think I got that worked out, so enjoy and thanks for the feedback.

Chapter 13
The blonde walked into Kelly's with her four year old daughter in tow. She walked over to a corner table and lifted her daughter into a chair as she took the one opposite the child that. She ordered breakfast for two and sat back and looked at the restaurant.
It had been a week since she had seen Jason and she couldn't seem to get him out of her head. When ever she had a free moment from settling in, work, or her daughter she thought about him. Heck she thought about him even when she was doing those things. She just couldn't get that kiss they shared out of her head. Something about it seemed so familiar.
She continually looked up at the door as if she was waiting for someone, and she was. It was just that she kept looking up in hopes of seeing him, rather than the blonde and two boys she was waiting for.
She heard the bell jingle as the door to Kelly's opened to reveal the blonde with two boys at her side. Courtney had been taken to meeting her friend at Kelly's for breakfast where Carly would end up taking Cali for a few hours so Courtney could get some work done. Cali had grown rather fond of Carly, Michael, and Morgan. It was a strange event, as the young girl never liked anyone as fast as she had come to like those three. She had also taken a strange liking to Sonny as well which surprised Courtney even more.
Carly approached the table and took a seat next to Courtney as Morgan rested in her lap and Michael sat across from her. Carly was rather happy with the fact that Courtney was in town. Though she didn't know the exact reasons she knew that Courtney would never purposely hurt anyone. It just wasn't in her.
"So what are you up to today," Carly questioned as she took a sip of her coffee that had just been placed in front of her.
"I have some meetings and paper work that needs to be done at the office. Other than that I am free," Courtney replied as she watched her daughter eat.
"So your free tonight then," Carly asked with a smile.
"No, I have a late business call, and things that I really need to get done tonight," Courtney reluctantly replied as Carly's face fell, "I'm sorry Carly. I really am."
"Yeah," Carly said in a dismal voice.
"I'll make it up to you tomorrow night or something," Courtney said hoping her friend would perk up.
"Ok," Carly said quite a bit cheerier causing Courtney to giggle.
"What," Carly said not getting why her friend was laughing.
"You're just so funny," Courtney said, "So how am I making this up to you?"
"By going to my club with me, Sonny and Jase next week sometime," Carly said hoping her friend would accept.
"Fine," Courtney answered, "Just give me a date so I can get a baby sitter."
"No need for that. Leticia can take her for the evening. She loves your little girl. Everyone does."
"Except for Spam," Courtney said in a hushed tone, rather annoyed at just saying the woman's name.
"Spam?"
"What," Courtney said as she nearly choked on her coffee.
"You said Spam, and I take it you were talking about Ms. McCall Girl," Carly said with a laugh.
"You weren't supposed to catch on to it, or hear it," Courtney said as she bowed her head down and played with her spoon in her coffee.
"Well I did and I love it. Spammy McCall girl," Carly said laughing, "The pains new nickname. I would call her something else but there are children present."
"Yeah, well we shouldn't be mean to her. She is pregnant."
"With my husbands child," Carly said in anger.
"Carly calm down. Sonny loves you. He loves you," Courtney repeated trying to calm her friend down.
"Then why is he letting that tramp live across the hall from…"
"Mommy what's a ttttt…tttt…tamp," Cali asked cutting Carly off.
Courtney glared at Carly who just simply looked away from her as Courtney went to face her daughter.
"It's a bad word that Aunt Carly shouldn't have said," Courtney responded.
"Aunt," Carly said as her head popped up causing Court to get nervous.
"Yes Aunt. Unless you have a problem with Cali calling you her Aunt."
"None at all," Carly replied with a big grin before standing,
"Good, because Cali needs an Aunt. She has too many uncles," Courtney laughed.
"Well we should get going before Auntie Carly has to feed her children again," Carly said with a grin.
"Bye Cali, be good ok."
"Ok Mommy," Cali said as she hopped down from her chair and took Carly's open hand.
"Bye Court," Carly said as she walked out with the three kids.
Courtney grabbed her belongings and began to walk for the door as she laid some cash on the table for the bill. She had so much work to do, and she had to figure out a plan to accomplish her goal. It wasn't going to be an easy task to do.
Courtney was so wrapped up in her thoughts as she walked towards the door that she never saw the man entering as the two crashed into each. Courtney was sent crashing to the ground as the man was only sent stumbling back a few steps. As Courtney looked up into the eyes of a man uncertainty washed over her face.
-.-
Jason sat looking over the files on the explosion from a week ago. Who ever planted the bombs had left no trace as to who they were, or what they wanted. Both warehouses were empty at the time. Only one belonged to Sonny and himself, the other was Alcazars'. So the only thing Jason could think of was someone wanted to run Port Charles without interference.
Jason sat at the desk contemplating who would want the three of them eliminated, not that he cared for Alcazar, but it could be helpful in figuring this out. He set the file on the desk and leaned on the back legs of the chair as he ran his hands through his hair.
As hard as he tried to concentrate on the task at hand he found his mind wandering. He couldn't seem to get her out of his mind as the kiss they had shared was still fresh in his mind. He loved the feel of her lips against his, the feel of his hand resting on her back, even if she was wearing a coat. He just enjoyed her company, and the fact that she felt so familiar to him, like he had met her before
Lost in his thought Jason didn't even notice that Sonny had walked into the room and currently stood in front of the desk glaring at his friend and business partner. Sonny looked at the man before him. This wasn't Jason Morgan the enforcer that sat before him, but rather the daydreamer. Daydreamer, not a word one would usually associate with the man. Yet here he was with a far off look in his eyes that Sonny hated to disturb, but they needed to talk.
"What are you thinking about," Sonny said with a smirk.
Jason was shocked to hear Sonny's voice as he leaned forward and set his hands on the desk. The chair hit the ground with a soft thud as Sonny gave a laugh.
"Nothing," Jason spoke as he regained the composure of a mob enforcer.
"Didn't look like nothing, but I'll leave that to Carly. I have a feeling she's grilled you enough this week."
"Yeah," Jason said as he thought about the past week and how Carly hadn't shut up about Courtney all week. "So what did you need?"
"Well I wanted to see if you found anything on who blew up my warehouse, but I'm guessing no."
"Whoever did it is good. They left nothing to indicate as to who it was, or even what was used besides the fact that it was extremely flammable. I'm completely stumped."
"OK, well have Meyers or someone look into it. For now I need you to make sure my Family is safe. I don't want anything touching Carly and the boys or Sam and our daughter. Got it," Sonny said firmly.
"Yeah Sonny I got it," Jason said as he stood grabbed his coat and made his way for the door.
"One more thing Jase," Sonny said causing Jason to freeze in the doorway, "Courtney's assistant for the waterfront property called. They want to reevaluate the leases, and so they have scheduled a meeting to do so. It's for later today. Can you make it?"
"Yeah Sonny. I'll go," Jase said as he walked out the door, leaving Sonny alone in the room.
He would never say it, but Jason was excited for the meeting. Even if it were only a business meeting he would get to see her again. Which he was greatly looking forward to.
