Chapter 24

"Jason I'm home" Olivia hung her coat in the closet and sat on the couch. She heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

"How did you get home? I told you I'd come pick you up."

"Well you see I had a run in with Robbie's mom and I got a little worked up. So Ileft the hospital and came home," when she didn't look at him he knew she wasn't telling the whole truth.

"There's more to this story, spill now." He sat across from her on the coffee table so he had to look at him.

"On my way home I stopped in the park and some guy approached me. He told me to give you this," she pulled the note out of her pocket and handed it to him, "and he said if you and Sonny don't watch your back there will be a bullet there. Now before you have a cow, I know it was reckless, I don't know what I was thinking, and no I didn't read it." she was surprised by the way she was handling the situation and could tell Jason was too, she didn't cry she just told it like it was. She wouldn't say shehadgotten used to her new lifestyle that would probably never happen but she was becoming more accustomed too it.

"We'll get to yougoing out alone later but for now what did this guy look like?" he was pissed that she walked home by herself but figured he'd let his one go because of the current situations.

"He was really tall, had dark hair, and tan skin nothing out of the ordinary. He looked like any of the guards that lurk around here."

"There isn't any thing you can remember about him, no tattoos, scars, anything?"

"You know what now that I think about it when he grabbed my arm..." he cut her off right there and practically jumped off the coffee table.

"He touched you?"

"Well yeah but Jason that's not the point I'm fine," once he sat back down she continued, "anyway the sleeve of his jacket rode up and he had a scorpion tattoo coming down his arm unto his hand."

"Okay here's the deal, I'll let it go that you went out without a guard if you promise to not do it again anytime soon because when you were gone there was an incident and we need to be more cautious right now."

"So how bad was this incident, like on the scale of 1-10," he was kinda making her nervous with the way he was talking. Usually he got right to the point but today he was walking on eggshells.

"It was on the news so I'll just tell you what happened. One of the warehouses was blown up but luckily no one was hurt."

"Do you know who it was?"

"No one hundred percent but don't worry about that, me and Sonny will figure it out and although I wish you hadn't been out by yourself it may give us a lead."

"Well I trust you Jase and I know you'll figure it out. Now gimme a hug you big teddy bear," Jason rolled his eyes but complied. When they pulled apart Olivia spoke again. "Well I'm gonna shower cause I stink and then I'm gonna go back to the hospital. So that will give you time to read the note andtalk to Sonny, then can you give me a ride back to the hospital?" she looked at him with her terrible puppy dog eyes.

"Those eyes will get you no where in life but yeah I'll take you and good idea about the shower you do stink."

"You know one thing my mom said was you're not funny and she was definitely right about that one, " she laughed at his shocked face and walked up the stairs. He just shook his head and let out a small laugh then he turned his attention to the letter in his hand. He unfolded it carefully and began to read it.

Did you guys enjoy the fire show I put on? To bad there was no one in the warehouse maybe next time you won't be so lucky. It could be your wife Corintho's or maybe your sister AKA Mr. Morgan's ex-wife/girlfriend. Or that little spitfire Olivia. You should keep an eye on her Morgan. She can get herself into a lot of trouble if not watched properly. I had this letter given to her to prove my point.

-F.M.

P.S. Your territory will be mine, it's your choice you can just give up or fight but I promise if you pick the second you won't survive.

Jason's blood pressure rose with each line he read. He knew he told Sonny he wouldn't be the one taking out their enemies anymore but his guy was his. Then picked up the phone and called Sonny and filled him in one everything. Sonny said he would make all the calls about the scorpion tattoo man and see if anyone could ID him.

Once Olivia came back downstairs he was off the phone and ready to bring her to the hospital. He decided it would be best if he didn't mention anything in the note to Olivia. She was already worked up about Robbie in the hospital. But more honestly he was afraid to tell her, he didn't wanna see her face and her fear, it just broke his heart.

When they arrived at the hospital Jason decided to visit Robbie. He hadn't visited him yet and was feeling a little guilty, Robbie had saved his life and he knew it was the right thing to visit him plus Robbie had spent so much time at the Penthouse he had gotten to know him pretty well. Olivia knocked on the door and recognized Fran's voice.

"Come in"

"Fran I'm back," she hugged her and whispered in her ear, "please don't mention anything about before to Jason. "

"No problem" when they parted Fran turned to Jason. "You must be Jason, I'm Fran, Robbie's mother." She put her hand out and he shook it lightly.

"It's nice to meet you and I'm sorry about Robbie" Olivia wanted to laugh at how uncomfortable Jason was but knew it would be inappropriate. She had never seen him so squeamish, he was always calm, cool, and collected.

"Thank you, Robbie talks very highly of you Jason."

"Well your son is a great guy and I owe him a lot" just then his cell phone rang. "I'm so sorry, I'll be back I gotta take this."

"Don't even worry about it, my husband was attached to his cell phone too" as he walked out Fran turned to Olivia "I didn't expect you back here today."

"I'm sorry about before, it was just hard to talk about Robbie and the future, when it's so blurring right now" Fran just shook her head in understanding, " but anyway I was thinking you must be really tired so why don't you go home and get some sleep, have something eat, shower whatever and I'll take the night shift. I promise I'll call even if it's with the slightest bit of news."

"That would be great because I left Anna, my daughter with Marco so I haven't seen her all day. I didn't want her to see Robbie like this. She really looks up to him."

"I understand so grab your things and I have Robbie's number in my cell so I'll call you if I need to."

"Thank you so much, I'll be back early tomorrow I promise." She hugged Olivia tight and kissed Robbie on the forehead and again whispered something Olivia couldn't hear into his ear. She grabbed her purse and jacket and with her final goodbyes she walked out of the room.

Olivia sat back in the chair that she had occupied earlier. She didn't want to get too close to Robbie for fear that Jason would walk back in.

"Hey you, I know you probably didn't expect me to come back but I needed to talk to someone and you're the best listener I know. You need to wake up because I'm really scared. After I left here I went to the park to the place we met and prayed for you and some guy approached me, he gave me a note for Jason and Sonny. I just kept hoping you would show up and rescue me. Jason won't admit it but I think things are really bad now and I'm really worried about him." She took several deep breaths to avoid the tears. A few moments later Jason walked back into the room and noticed Olivia was by herself.

"Liv where'd Fran go?"

"I told her she could go and I'd take the night shift. She looked like she could use a break and I don't mind staying here."

"But I can't stay, Sonny just called and I have to meet him at the warehouse now. "

"I figured you couldn't stay. Don't worry about me I'll be fine. I brought a book to read and magazines. So you just go do your thing and I'll call you if anything comes up."

"I'm gonna call Johnny and put him outside the door and Kevin on the left corner and Jimmy on the right one."

"Jase are you sure that's enough I mean what if someone climbs though the vents or propels down the side of the hospital and comes in though the window?" she couldn't help but tease him about his over protectiveness.

"Ha ha, just stay in the room and if you have to leave bring someone with you. And do not under any circumstances leave this hospital with out me knowing."

"Okay I get the picture, I'll see ya later" she gave him a quick hug and he left. She walked back over to her chair and pulled out this months CosmoGirl and started reading to Robbie. She always tried to make him take the quizzes but he never would so she figured this was the perfect time even if he couldn't answer.

About an hour after Sonny called Jason walked into the penthouse and slammed the door behind him. He didn't even notice Courtney standing by the pool table looking out the balcony doors.

"Rough night?" she asked even though she clearly knew the answer.

"You don't even wanna know," she leaned against the pool table next to her and gave her a quick kiss.

"Your right I don't. So on to something more fun, you never gave me my gift, so fork it over mister," he laughed at her eagerness.

"Okay I'll be right back but I want mine too," Courtney was all set to give him his gift; she called the hotel and setup their trip for whenever they could make it. Sure she had to tell a few lies but it was worth it. A few minutes later Jason came in with two beers and two boxes- one big and one small.

"I'll give you my gift first cause you really can't open it," Jason eyed her suspiciously; I mean what's the point of a gift if you can't open it.

"So you get these two boxes to open and I get nothing," she couldn't help but laugh.

"Trust me you'll love it, but now onto the gift, remember like eons ago when we weresupposed to go to the Caribbean but we got into the car accident and everything with Sonny so we never went," he shook his head indicating that he remembered, "well the plan was to leave today for a 7 night stay at a beautiful four star hotel in the Caribbean but because this clearly isn't a good time I've convinced the hotel to let us come whenever were ready." she smiled proudly after seeing his face.

"Courtney that was really thoughtful and I can't wait to go," he leaned in and gave her a kiss so she knew how much he loved the gift, "I love you and I'm sorry we have to postpone the trip there's nowhere else I'd rather be than on an island with you."

"I love you too and when we can go we'll go, and it will be perfect because we'll only be thinking about each other, not warehouse bombings just you and me."

"Sounds perfect, now how about your gifts," her face lit up and she started clapping her hands together.

"Gimme gimme gimme" first he handed her the big box. She shook it and pretended to access what it could be. She concurred that is was kinda heavy and definitely not clothes. Finally she ripped off the wrapping paper and opened the box. She almost cried when she saw the gift. It was an antique jewelry box that she saw in a window of an antique shop. She had shown it to Jason about three weeks ago and when she walked by the store a few days ago she noticed it was gone, she was really upset that she hadn't bought it when she had the chance.

"Jason this is gorgeous I love it, thank you so much," she hugged him so tight that he was having trouble breathing. When they pulled apart he handed her the smaller box.

"I figured you'd need something to put in it," she ripped the paper off and opened the box, which revealed a platinum and diamond heart necklace. Her breath was caught in her throat over its beauty.

"Ohh my god Jason this is too much, I love it all I don't even know what to say."

"Don't say anything" before Courtney could register what was going on Jason's lips came crashing down on hers.

Olivia had feel asleep hours ago with her head on Robbie's bed and their fingers intertwined. Around two o'clock she woke up to someone stroking her hair. It took a moment for her to register what was going on before she shot her head up.

"Ohh my God Robbie, how long have you been awake?" she moved her chair as close to the bed as she could but didn't let go of his hand.

"About 10 minutes ago, I'm sorry I woke you."

"I'm glad you did, how are you feeling, should I get a doctor?"

"No I feel fine, well maybe not fine but I'll live," she couldn't take her eyes off his for fear that they would shut again. She loved his green eyes; she could stare at them for hours if given the chance.

"Well good because I don't know what I would do without you, I was so scared the doctors said they weren't sure if you would make it," he watched her eyes fill with tears and it broke his heart that he had scared her.

"Come here," he moved over on the bed to make room for him. "I'm sorry I scared you but I'm going to be fine I promise," his words didn't do much to calm her because he just feltmore tears on his shirt. Not knowing what else to dohe just pulled her closer to him and rubbed her back.

Eventually she was able to compose herself. She moved her head so it was laying on his shoulder and her arm was laid across his chest.

"I know your gonna be okay, I'm just so scared I'm gonna lose someone I love again. I know I'm being selfish but everyone I love leaves or dies and I don't think I can handle losing you. You have no idea how much I need you in my life. I mean you've been here for like a month and I have come to rely on you for so much." She took several deep breaths to keep her self from crying again.

"I love you too," her eyes bugged out at his confession and that he had picked up on hers but she couldn't contain the smile that appeared on she face.

"I can't believe I said that. Are we crazy I mean god I think I've loved you since you were sitting in my spot. I just knew you were gonna change my life," as soon as she finished her sentence his lips found hers. At first she was shocked but then she found herself getting into it. Her arms came around his neck and he grabbed her face. Things would have gotten out of hand if they hadn't heard nurses walking down the hall. They pulled apart but kept their foreheads touching. Olivia couldn't help but start laughing pretty soon Robbie was laughing to. They were sure why they were laughing but they couldn't stop.

"I love your laugh," she started blushing at his comment. Once they both calmed down Olivia laid back down on the bed and they got serious again. "I tried not to love you, but no matter what I couldn't help myself. There's something aboutOlivia that I can't resist."

"I feel that same exact way and I know this puts us in an awkward position but I can't not be with you. Especially after that kiss, maybe ifwe try again I can see if it was just a one time thing," Robbie took this as his queue a pulled her over for another kiss. Olivia pulled apart for a second to say something.

"Nope definitly not a one time thing," they both laughed and went back to business not really caring about tomorrow just focusing on right now.
