Jason walked into his house at 1:30 in the morning to find Courtney sleeping on the couch. She had waited up for him, or at least tried to.

As much as Jason appreciated his wife's gesture, he wished that she would stop falling asleep on the couch, it couldn't be good for her. Jason wandered over to the couch and stole a few selfish minutes for himself. One of his favorite things to do was watching her sleep, it always had been. Courtney always

looked so peaceful, so at ease, so strikingly beautiful when she was asleep, that Jason couldn't resist sitting down next to her and gently pushing the blonde locks out of her face.

She would not be happy about the next few months. When Sonny suggested that they team up with Lorenzo Alcazar, Jason almost hit the roof. This was the man that killed their child. The man who was responsible. Jason wasn't quite sure if he could work with him, but if it was the only way to keep his family safe, then he would have to get over it and move on.

Moving on was always something that Jason was good at. Picking up the pieces of everyone else's life was easy for him. For instance, Carly. He was always fixing what she was breaking. And she broke a lot of things. But Jason never minded, because he loved her. Carly is his best friend in the entire world, and he would do anything for her. But could he forgive this time? Jason wondered as Courtney began to stir. Could he forgive Lorenzo Alcazar for taking Courtney from that hotel room and putting her on that floating prison? Could he forgive him for the loss of their baby? He wasn't sure. But forgive and forget had never been the route that Jason took. It was more like… move on, let go. He would have to talk to Courtney about it. He knew that.

"Jason? What time is it?" Courtney asked sleepily as she sat up on the couch and rubbed her eyes with a closed fist. She looked like a five year old, and Jason loved it.

"1:45. Come on. Let's go upstairs okay?" Jason said as he scooped her up in his arms and carried her up the stairs.

"Jason?" Courtney asked as he layed her down on the bed and tucked the covers all around her, making sure that they were secure, because she felt safer that way.

"Yeah?" He replied, smoothing her hair out and rubbing her back.

"What happened?" Courtney asked, trying extremely hard not to let sleep overcome her.

"We'll talk about it in the morning okay? You're exhausted. Please just try and get some sleep okay?" Jason said as he kissed her cheek and stripped down to just his boxers.

As he slipped into the warm covers, he felt his wife's hand move around his stomach and the weight of her head on his chest. Jason took a lot of pride in the fact that she felt safe with him. That him being there with her meant so much to Courtney. His fear of losing her intensified. Things were bad right now. And Jason and Sonny had to go to last resorts to fix them. The Sandovals were indeed stronger than they thought. He vowed to himself that he would tell her everything that she needed to know in the morning, as he kissed the top of her head and fell into a somewhat restless slumber.

A/N#2 I know this is a short chapter, and trust me when I tell you that I am incredibly sorry about that. I just wanted to get all of this out there. And it was a chapter for me too… I know I know, selfish…. ) But I love writing Jason watching Courtney sleep. It's one of my favorite ways to write him… I like to dig inside his head. Anyways, the next chapter will be longer. I swear! ) Review and let me know if you like it or if you have any suggestions!
