Author's Note: Well, this is it! The season finale! I hope I don't disappoint anyone! After watching the Journey scenes we got on Friday and Monday, I was so determined to write this well. So I dedicate this to Jason remembering Courtney crying at the divorce dinner. I dedicate this to, "Did I make you cry?" and "We had a baby?" "Yes, I miscarried in the first trimester. And I didn't tell you I was pregnant until I'd lost the baby." "Was it anything I did?" Yes. I dedicate this chapter to the beautiful, wonderful, perfect couple that is Jason and Courtney, without whom, none of this would be possible.

And I guess this chapter can sort of be for you guys too… ;)

Enjoy!

Pureevil320- Thanks for your review! I'm glad that you're still (emphasis on still) enjoying this story!

Leanna- Don't be weirded out by Alky! He's only being nice, and for once, those were my only intentions with him. He's just trying to make up for what he did to Courtney. Ah! Loved how you referred to the shooting as the "Great Brian Fiasco of '03!" Made me smile! Brian single-handedly ruined great Journey moments for me. You're right, a lot CAN happen in 34 chapters. Thanks for your review!

Emmalee- Glad you loved the Jason/Court/Lorenzo at the end. I enjoyed writing that part immensely. Thanks for your review!

Nicole- I'm glad you're inspired! That means more Nicole updates for me! I was actually going to make the whole 'Courtney in jail/going to trial' thing WAY more complicated. But, I sort of REALLY want to finally wrap up this never-ending story. AH! I made you like Alcazar! squeals! For me, Lorenzo is a love/hate character. I love loving him, and I love hating him! Sequel is definitely going to happen. I'm already planning it out. Don't worry; I'll never make you like Sam! EVER! It'd be impossible! I ended with Lorenzo because I started with him, yes. I thought that Lorenzo needed some credit, because he did the right thing. He helped. I wanted his reaction to stick in your heads. He was HAPPY that his enemy's family was going to be okay. Well, this took up like a quarter of a page! LOL! Thanks for your lovely review!

Asia- Don't even worry about not always reviewing! It's great to just know that you're reading it! I don't need reviews, I mean sure, they're nice and all, but they are time consuming! I know how it is. Another Ric/Sonny fan! I thought you guys would like this chapter! Maybe Lo will ask for some favors in the sequel… not in STA though! We're at the finish line for this fic! Thanks for your review!

Violette7777- claps hands and cheers If my counting was correct, you were my 200th review! What a milestone! Thanks so much!

Starlet- I've produced a Lorenzo fan! I can't say that I love him, but I do like him. I think he's learned from past mistakes, and I gave him a second chance! Ugh, at least we got a few Journey scenes these past few weeks! I'll admit, I cried when Jason remembered Courtney crying at the divorce dinner. Yup, there were tears. Thanks for your review!

Rebecca- You are most certainly NOT a horrible reader! I'm glad you came to me first! That makes me smile! Ah, I know, I threw in a few twists with Antonio. Glad you enjoyed them! Gosh, it seemed like I got everyone to like Lo in this chapter! Hehehe. I'm taking it as such a compliment! Thanks for the praise! And the review!

Luvthemorgans- It takes me the longest time to check my email too. I'm sad that you're baffled. I'll try to explain. Lauren Amaral was Antonio's fiancée. She worked as a spy in the Sandoval organization. He fell in love with her, but didn't know that she worked in the mob. She told him, and when she died, Antonio wanted to get revenge on who killed her. He believed that it was the Alcazars, when, in reality, it was the Sandovals. They killed her because she was 'getting in the way of things'. I never said what she did, or exactly why they killed her. I hope this helped. Thanks for your review!


Courtney stretched her legs out, cradling her sleeping angel in her arms. Jason's head was resting on her shoulder, and he was dead asleep too. Courtney couldn't help but smile. It had been seven months, three weeks, and four days since Jacob Michael Morgan had been born. It had been seven months, three weeks, and four days of pure bliss, exhaustion, and a love that Courtney never thought she'd experience. Looking at her sleeping son, she kissed his brown hair, the little that he had. Turning to Jason, she kissed him too. It had been only yesterday when he'd reprimanded her for giving all her attention to the baby, and none to him.

Flashback

"Jakey, Jakey honey. Crawl to mama." Courtney sat on the floor of the living room with her son, he was on his hands and knees, attempting to hold himself up. Courtney was video taping his every move.

"He's not going to, Courtney." Jason moaned from the couch, enjoying just watching his little family.

"Yes, he is Jason. There is no doubt in my mind that Jake will learn to crawl today. I can feel it. Can't I Jakey? Come on; let's show Daddy how wrong he is…" Courtney inched closer to her son, in hopes of getting the idea that he had to move, across to him.

Jason smiled when Jake supported himself and moved his knee, before collapsing again.

"Okay honey, don't get discouraged. Mama knows you can do it." Jake inched himself back up again, before falling. He started to fuss. "Oh baby, Mama's sorry. Come here." Courtney hoisted her son up onto her waist and kissed the side of his head. Much to her annoyance, he held his arms out, signaling to his Daddy.

Jason got up and took Jake out of his wife's arms. "Hey buddy," he said as Jake rested his head on his shoulder. Courtney smiled warmly at the interaction between father and son. "You're tired aren't you? Mama tried to make you do too much?" Jason rubbed his son's back and smiled at Courtney.

Courtney slapped Jason on the arm. "I just have confidence in him, that's all."

Jason kissed Courtney's forehead before heading upstairs to put Jake down for his nap.

When he came back down, Courtney was putting away the toys Jake had been playing with. "He'll crawl when he's ready."

"I know, I just keep thinking of how Morgan was crawling at this age and sometimes I get worried that…"

"There's nothing wrong with Jake. He's perfectly healthy. Stop worrying." Jason crouched down next to his wife and brushed the hair out of her face.

"It's just; he was so small when he was born. It makes me nervous sometimes." Courtney laid her head down on Jason's shoulder.

"I know, but he's okay. And you've barely given me any attention today. Its been all Jake, all morning." Jason whined as he helped Courtney stand.

"Are you complaining, Jason?"

"Yes. What are you going to do about this? Jake's sleeping, and I'm right here, and you've neglected me all day…"

"Oh shut up." Courtney said before she placed her mouth over her husband's.

Jason smiled as Courtney kissed him, and pulled back. "Now that's what I'm talking about."

End Flashback

Courtney thanked God everyday for her little family. She thought it wouldn't be possible for her to have another baby. But, the in-vitro made it possible, and Courtney was blessed.

She looked down at Jake, and saw so much of Jason. His eyes, his ears and eyebrows. Jake got her nose, her mouth, and her thick eyelashes. Courtney sighed.

"You're going to break hearts, Jakey."

"Yes, just like his dad." Jason mumbled from Courtney's shoulder.

"I thought you were sleeping." Courtney whispered as Jason lifted his head.

"Your staring woke me up." Jason said, as he kissed Courtney gently.

"How can staring…?"

"You know what I was thinking about just now?" Jason interrupted.

"No, what?"

"How lucky I am." Jason said, pushing Courtney's blonde hair out of her face.

"I know, I mean, I didn't think it could ever happen. You know? I thought having a baby just wasn't written in the stars for us." Courtney focused her attention back on her son. Her perfect son.

"You're a great mom."

"You're a wonderful dad."

"Want to have another one? A girl maybe?" Jason asked, as he placed his hand on Jake's head, and brushed his soft hair.

"Why? So you can spoil her? Never let her date?" Courtney asked, throwing Jason a smile.

"Something like that, yeah. There's a lot of men in this family to protect the girls. I mean, when she goes to high school, Jake will be there. She'll have Morgan, Michael. And most of all, she'll have me. There's no way in hell I'd let anything happen to her." Jason surprised himself by saying so much about it. He and Courtney had discussed having more children, both accepted the fact that it may never happen. They had Jake, he was enough. More than enough.

"You do realize, if we had a little girl, Carly and I would help her out." Courtney told her husband as he took his hand off of Jake and wrapped it around Courtney's shoulders.

"What do you mean?" Jason asked.

"I mean, she'd come to us if she liked a boy. She'd know that you and her uncle would never let her date, and if you did, you'd do a whole background check and set up a meeting with him."

Jason nuzzled Courtney's head, before shaking his head. "I wouldn't go that far."

"Yes you would." Courtney said, smiling at her husband.

"Yeah, you're right." Jason kissed Courtney's temple,

"For now, let's just concentrate on Jake, okay?" Courtney said as she brushed his plump cheek with her thumb.

"Yeah, let's concentrate on Jake." Jason said as he rubbed his son's little hand. It opened and grasped on to Jason's finger. "He's a strong little guy."

"Can you believe it? Seven months, three weeks, and four days ago already?" Courtney sighed.

"Let's make sure he doesn't grow up too fast." Jason said as he pulled Courtney and their son closer to him and rested his head on hers. In his wildest dreams, he never thought he'd be blessed with a family. Tears filled his eyes, and Jason had never been happier in his life.
