Chapter 19:
Christmas Morning:
"Wake up it's Christmas" Olivia jumped on Jason's bed. Courtney and him just laid there hoping she would just go away. Courtney had stayed over after a late family dinner at Sonny and Carly's. He expected this from Michael but not from a 16 year old who usually has to be dragged out of bed at 12 o'clock. "Get up, I'm not going to leave, I want to open my gifts" Before she could respond Jason grabbed her knees and she fell on him.
"Stop jumping, what time is it?" he said the sleep evident in his voice.
"8:03 I've been up since 7:30 I figured I'd wait until 8 to be nice. C'mon Jase get up, please" she put up her hands begging.
"Alright I'm getting up but Courtney has to get up too"
"I'm up already" Courtney sat up on the bed with her feet dangling over the sides.
"Okay meet me downstairs in 5 minutes, I'm going to grab your gifts" Olivia ran down the hall to her room and fished around in the back of the closet for Courtney and Jason's gifts.
"Merry Christmas Court" Jason placed kisses on the back of her neck.
"Merry Christmas Jason" she turned and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
Jason and Courtney sat by the tree with a big cup of coffee and watched Olivia walk down the stairs. She was giddy all over. Jason and Courtney had stayed up late to put all her gifts under the tree. To say Jason went overboard would be an under statement.
"Is all this for me?"
"Yup start opening them"
"Ohh my God, this is the best Christmas ever!!" It took her forever to open all the gifts-a flat screen TV for her room, a laptop, a new stereo, DVD's, CD's, makeup, purses, shoes, and more clothes then she had seen in her life. Her favorite gift was the Tiffany's heart bracelet with the inscription I Love You, Jase. The bracelet surprised Courtney considering her and Carly did all his shopping. "Jason thank you so much" she gave him a big hug.
"Don't thank me, half those clothes are going back, I told Carly conservative" Olivia just laughed, she'd put the 'return' clothes in her closet and he'd never even notice.
"Whatever you say Jase, but now my gifts for you too"
"Then I have a gift for you and you too Jase" Olivia grabbed two boxes off the steps. She handed Courtney hers first. Courtney carefully opened the box and pulled out a pair of silk pajamas with a monogram CM.
"I love them, now I hope you love your gift" Courtney handed Olivia a little envelope. She torn into it and pulled out a gift certificate for kick boxing lessons.
"Court this is awesome. Thank you so much"
"Your welcome sweetie" they gave each other a quick hug and then Olivia turned to Jason and handed him a rectangular box. He thanked her and started to open it while Olivia sat there in complete nervousness. He moved the tissue paper to reveal some sort of legal papers.
"Olivia what are these?" clearly taken back.
"Well you see, I called Ms. Wilson the other day and she said that your just my legal guardian so I asked what it would take to really be part of the family and she said she'd send the papers. Jason you are the closest thing I've had to a Dad and I love you so I just wanted to be an official Morgan" when he didn't respond her face fell and her eyes were getting watery, "you don't have to say yes, you know what it was a stupid idea"
"Wait no of course I want you to a Morgan now get me a pen." She jumped into his arms and wrapped her legs around his torso.
"Thank you Jason, you have no idea how happy this makes me," she said while still in his arms
"I think I do, I love you Liv's" after a few moments she let go and wiped the tears out of her eyes.
"I'll get you that pen" as she reached into the desk drawer there was a knock at the door.
"Open up police"
"Court take Olivia into the kitchen and start making breakfast" there was another pounding on the door. Courtney grabbed Olivia's hand and practically dragged her into the kitchen.
Jason opened the door and saw 2 uniformed officers, a short blonde woman and a taller man in a suit.
"Can I help you?" he said clearly annoyed-it was Christmas and for a change he really hadn't done anything wrong.
"Just give me my daughter back" the man in the suit grabbed her arm before she could run into the house.
"Excuse me"
"Mr. Morgan I'm Jonathon Gale, Ms. O'Connor's lawyer we have papers signed by a judge giving full custody back to Ms. O'Connor. We're not looking for any trouble so if you could just bring Olivia out here, we won't have to use police force" Jason stepped out into the hall and closed the door.
"Lemme see the papers first" Mr. Gale handed him the papers, everything was in order, he even recognized the judge's signature. "I'm calling my lawyer before you get anywhere near her, you left her no judge would be stupid enough to give her back to you" he glared at Sheryl.
"Listen you thug, you have no idea what happened to me, now you get me my daughter or these gentlemen will gladly arrest you"
"Mr. Morgan you don't have a choice just open the door" the officers were getting closer by the second.
"Just give me a minute to give Olivia a warning because you're just about the last person she wants to see" as soon as Jason opened the door Sheryl screamed.
"Olivia!!!"
Kitchen:
"Ohh my God she's back" Olivia dropped her glass and ran into the living room with Courtney not far behind her. Anger filled her eyes as soon as she spotted her 'mother'.
"Get out of my house" she didn't even seem to notice the police officers.
"Olivia baby you're coming home with me. Finally you and me back together. I've missed you so much"
"Jason make her leave" Sonny and Carly stood in the doorway; they ran over to the Penthouse after hearing the loud yell.
"Olivia I have to talk to you, come into the kitchen"
"She's not going anywhere with you, she's coming with me" she turns to Olivia, "Let's go I'll explain everything in the car, you don't have to stay with this criminal for a moment longer"
"No Sheryl I'm not going anywhere with you. You abandoned me and I live with Jason now he's my family you're nothing to me"
"I didn't abandon you, now listen you don't have a choice, a judge agrees that he" points to Jason "is not fit to be a father let alone a legal guardian"
"And you are?" she fake laughs and rolls her eyes.
"Olivia we'll discuss this later now lets go!"
"You're not going anywhere until my lawyer gets here" Courtney and Carly just stood there shocked while Sonny stepped into the hallway calling Justus and telling him to get over her quick.
"Listen Mr. Morgan people may fear you but not me, I'm taking my daughter back now"
"Shut up Sheryl, Jase I wanna to see the papers" Jason handed Olivia the papers and as she read them tears formed in her eyes "this has to be a mistake, I'm not going anywhere with you. I hate you"
"No you don't, now look these officers will drag you out of her kicking and screaming or you can just place one foot in front of the other an walk out the front door"
"Jason please do something" the tears were falling rapidly and he pulled her into a hug.
"I promise I'm going to do everything I can, I love you" he felt her tears on his shirt.
By this time one of the officers had grabbed Olivia while the other stood by Jason waiting to make an arrest.
"No get off me…I don't want to go…Jason do something please" he reached out to her but the officer pulled him back. Sheryl followed the first officer out and was followed by her lawyer and eventually the second officer.
As soon as the door was shut Jason threw one of the vases at the mantle. Courtney slowly approached him and pulled him into an embrace. He quickly wiped away one lone tear and faced Sonny and Carly. Carly was crying, as was Courtney.
"We have to get her back" just then the door opened and Justus walked in.
"What going on?" Jason filled Justus in on everything and he read over the papers.
"These are definitely legit, but how. No judge would give this woman back her kid especially if what you're telling me is true" Justus was just as confused as the four others. "Look I'm going speak to the judge and try and bar Sheryl from taking Olivia out of the state, so until then just stay out of trouble"
"Look I just want my daughter back"
"I'll do the best I can Jason, I promise"
"Thanks Justus" Jason and Sonny shook his hand and he left the penthouse.
