Someone like you 46

Jason walked home not being able to believe this shit either, as he kept looking through the photos it sickened him, she was going to be beside herself when she found out, not only about her mom but about her dad and his affair slipping them inside his jacket, he rounded the corner he came face to face with Courtney.

"Hey baby how are you doing," she asked as she looked deeply into his eyes, leaning in for a kiss, when he shoved her up against the wall as she fell to the ground he squatted down next to her, grabbing a fistful of her blonde hair, as he leaned down close to her, "I know all about your dirty little secrets, so if I were you I would steer very clear of me," he said as he ran his hands down her neck, "you know I could snap your neck in a heartbeat," he said massaging her neck, "you literally could be here one minute and gone the next," laughing at her, "yourtime in this town is running out, you best live every day that you have left to the fullest, do you understand me?"

"Yes."

"Remember it, because I promise you as I stand here right now, that you will get what is coming your way, and I never break my promises." Turning around he started to walk away leaving her in the alley.

Sam had just gotten done slipping on her shoes as she walked out into the hallway

"Hey boys are you almost ready to go?"

"Yeah we are."

Jason walked through the door and not seeing Sam anywhere, he slipped the envelope into the top left drawer, then closing it, he locked it back up just as she was coming down the stairs, turning he looked at her, she looked radiant tan from their trip, with a dress that she had picked up when she had found out that they would be going to Oahu for their honeymoon, a white halter dress that showed off her lush figure as he hair fell softly in waves over her shoulders, she was a gorgeous woman.

Pulling her close to him he kissed her sweet full lips, as his hands ran down over her pulling her closer to him, breaking away for a minute, he looked at her as he ran his hands through her hair, then looked back down at her, "I need to go take a shower real quick, I will be ready in about 20 minutes, okay?"

"Of course babe, I'm not going anywhere."

"I like the sound of that Mrs. Morgan." Kissing her softly he turned and made his way up the stairs as she stood in the middle of the room, with a smile on her face.

"We're ready mom," Michael said as he ran down the stairs and stopped short of her.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you babe, Where's Justin?"

"Upstairs getting his shoes on."

"Okay."

"Mom, are you and dad going to have another baby?"

"Someday babe, why do you want one?"

"More than anything, I wanted to tell you how sorry I was that you lost the last one mom."

"Oh Michael, so am I, but for whatever reason it wasn't meant to be."

"Because of your dad huh?"

"Yeah."

"I hate him Sam," He said not meaning to offend her in any way, he was just speaking the truth, and the truth was, was that all these boys had seen of her dad was violence coming from him. She remembered the day that they had gone there, it was as if he had changed from a Jekyll to a Hyde in a matter of seconds, it had scared her to the most depths of her soul, oh yes she would be lying if she said that she had never seen the violence that he had lorded over her and her mother, thinking of her mom, she wished that she had never married him, it was under these circumstances that she had to get out of the house, when she was young, leaving with Zander had been the only way to escape the hell that occurred under the McCall roof. Why she went that day to them, she had no idea, other than to share her joy, but it was after that that she had lost all respect for her dad; he was dead to her as far as she was concerned.

Jason looked in his drawer and pulled it out, the box that held the necklace that he had given her so long ago; her father wouldn't allow her to have it, claiming she wasn't a mob princess and never would be. He remembers the day he tossed it in the trash, he was vile then and even more so now, and if it was the last thing he did her dad would be taken care of, for what he did to her, to them and most of all the precious baby that was theirs to love and cherish. Closing the drawer he carried it in his hand as he walked out of their room quickly glancing into Michael's room and seeing that it was clear, he walked downstairs and saw her standing out the window deep in thought, quietly he walked up behind her as he moved the hair away from her neck, he leaned down and kissed her softly, then reaching into his pocket he pulled it out and put it on her as she moved her hand up to touch it, it had been so long, she had a tear in her eye as she turned and looked at him.

"I thought it was gone forever."

"No baby, I had it all this time, and I knew that one day I would be putting it back in its rightful place."

"I love you more than words can say Jason," She said as he leaned down to kiss her as Justin ran over to them both,

"Come on guys we're starving."

"Okay buddy, let's go." then looking back at Sam "We'll continue this later." holding out his hand for her to take it as they both walked toward the front door with the boys.

Fifteen minutes later...

Jason held the door open for his beautiful wife and boys to walk inside as he took one last look around and walked in behind her, as the door closed, they entered through the elevator doors that opened, walking in Jason pushed the button as he turned back around he looked down seeing his beautiful family standing before him, when it reached the floor they stepped off and walked toward the doors that led to the restaurant, reaching around he opened the door for them as she stepped through she looked at him, "thank you honey," she said to him as she flashed him a smile.

"Mr. Morgan how nice to see you," The hostess said, as Courtney turned around on the barstool from where she sat as the four of them walked to the corner table, she eyed them.

"Here we are," the host said as he pulled out the chair for Sam to sit down in it, as Jason an the boys and Jason took their seats, as the waiter came over and took their drink orders and told them about the specials for the evening he left them with their menu's and told them he would be right back.

Jason opened his menu as he glanced at it, then without another thought he put it down and looked at her, she was beautiful, and no matter how long they had been together, he knew in his heart that he would never be able to get enough of the woman who sat across from the table, she was everything he had always wanted and more, a mixture of gentleness and grace mingled with a toughness, and a fierceness for her family and him, committed and downright loyal, she was a wonderful mother as the boys adored her, never spoke a word against her in any way or form, and she loved them unconditionally, just like she loved him, and he couldn't wait for the day when they were free of the hindrances that threatened to tear their lives apart.

Sensing his eyes on her she looked up at him and smiled, she loved him more than life itself, wanted more than anything to make her husband happy in this life they called theirs now as she smiled across the table at him, "What?"

"Nothing, just admiring you."

"You two are like Romeo and Juliet," Michael said as he and Justin laughed then in all seriousness and in the next breath, "Do they have hamburgers here dad?"

"Yeah do they," Justin chimed in.

"No son they don't, how about a steak instead?"

"Can we?"

"Of course, you can have anything you want," He said as Sam looked over at him "What are you having Beauty?"

She smiled as she looked at him, "I was thinking about having the lobster," she said as she looked at him.

"Are you the Beast dad," Michael laughed at him.

"Hey watch it mister."

"What are you having," She asked him as she set her menu down and looked at him.

"Well I thought I would have the Prime Rib," he said just as the waiter came with their drinks, as he set them both down on the table, then took thier orders.

"Should we make a toast?" She smiled as she looked at him.

"To our beautiful family," Jason said as he raised his glass and clanked it with Sam's and then the boys, then smiling at her, he took a drink then watched her take hers, as she continued to talk with the boys, they were laughing at her jokes.

"I want to go to another game soon dad."

"We will son, soon, I promise. As it is you boys are going to be starting back to school soon enough."

"Mom, please can we," Michael pled with Sam.

"You know that babe? You're dad and I will talk about it, but what your dad says goes," She said as Jason acknowledged her with a nod.

"Can you excuse me; I need to use the ladies room." She looked at him and watched him get up from his chair, being a gentleman he stood behind her and helped her with her chair, he was so romantic and good, and she was so thankful. "I'll be right back," she leaned into him and kissed him, her mouth tasted like berries and he just wanted to feast on her, as he pulled away she squeezed his hand with hers, then turned and made her way to the ladies room.

Sam had just gotten done washing her hands, as she walked across the floor to grab a paper towel, as she was just drying them, tossing the towel in the trash, she walked over and looked in the mirror to check her lipstick when the door swung open and in walked Courtney Matthews.

"Oh god look what the cat dragged in," She sneered at Sam.

"I have nothing to say to you,"

"Well you might not, but I do."

"And what would that be pray tell?"

"That Jason and I were together the entire time you have been away to the city," She said as Sam looked at her and laughed, infuriating Courtney.

"Do I look that stupid? You are so full of crap and you know it. Jason would never have anything to do with you, ever" Watching her as the anger rise in her, "You sure do live in your own little dream world don't you?"

"Right, you just keep telling yourself that Sam, you know every time you see me it reminds you of that night that Jason and I shared, you remember don't you? It was the time you told him you didn't want to have anything to do with him, and gd he couldn't get enough, he was like an animal with me in bed that night, it was just like old times."

"You really are delusional." She laughed at her.

"No, I think you are, if you think that he wasn't. I dare you Sam, ask him and see what he says, I bet that he won't admit to you that he was with me, because he would never want you to find out that he was lying to you, standing about all she could take for the moment and having a need to shut her the hell up, she swung and hit Courtney square in the jaw, knocking her out cold on the floor of the ladies restroom, then turning she opened the door and walked out.
