A/N: Thank you everyone for all of the name votes. It has been decided that Meg will remain Meg, with the votes 15 to 1 (sorry Kathryn). Just so you know, the name I was going to change it to was Ava. Looks like I'll just have to write another story and use that name in it. Also, I wasn't sure what exactly I specified with time period in this story so I just want to say that there is no Durant, there is Scott and Taggert, and Morgan is a little older than he currently is on the show. It's my world, I can do what I want to.

Seth Cohen's girlfriend- They are one big happy family. At least for now... >evil grin and cackle>

luvthemorgans- Don't feel guilty about the name thing. I was having doubts about it before you said anything and anyway, it all worked out. And I loved the review- Jason is def the better brother. AJ's a giant turd.

kaleymc- I figured that was something Mikey would say. He's just so cute! I wanna steal him (is that kidnapping? Yes? Oh well!)

Kathryn- Sorry that you didn't get your way. You can call her Ava in your head!

audri- Thanks for reviewing and for voting!

jordananne- Let's face it- the women of PC have all the real power! The men are just their puppets!

middiegurl08- Fluff is cute and sweet and necessary. But I'm glad you like the drama and angst, cause it may just sneak up on you when you are least expecting it...

SVUAngel- Hmm, you're just beginning to like my story... thanks. Thanks so much >sarcastic death stare> I'm just kidding. I know it started out slow, but it gets intense soon.

Cait- Thank you for the suggestions for the names. I did like the name Lily as an option, but then there's the whole Sonny's first wife thing so that could never work.

emmalee05- I thought it was a good time for Jason to not be a jerk and to take care of his family. And that includes putting his foot down and standing up to Sonny! Taking off a day isin't that terrible for him to do once in a while, is it!

britchic- I thought it was a very Carly thing to do. And I figured it would really piss off Sonny. I'm glad you liked it.

sexyt- Glad you're lovin' it, even if it all fluffy right now. Allan is a bastard. If you couldn't tell, I hate the guy.

Elvira- Read what I just wrote to sexyt- it's exactly what you said ( I didn't even realize). We both really hate Allan. And AJ.

anon14- AJ never stands a chance. Thanks for voting!

tydavislover- Don't be scared. Alright, be a little scared. Maybe a lotta scared...

cupcup89- Welcome to the story! I'm glad you're liking it.

Good job with the votes guys. I expected at least one slacker who wouldn't include a vote with the review, but you all did it. So mazel tov!

Anytay...

Chapter 5- Gone

The PCPD was never one for being competent, but this took the cake. It had been three weeks, and Meg's mother was still not found. But the Morgan family had always loved the PCPD's ineptitude, and this was no exception. They had become extremely attached to Meg and at this point, they had no intentions of ever letting her go. In this time, they had formed their own little family. Michael and Morgan loved their baby cousin, and Carly and Sonny loved their niece. Emily and Monica had also gotten a chance to meet Meg, as had Lila. Edward had accepted the little girl only because Lila had made him. Allen still believed that Meg should be a Quartermaine, and AJ steered clear of her, afraid of the consequences.

Courtney awoke late one morning, expecting to be alone in bed. To her surprise, Jason was there, watching her sleep as he stroked her hair.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I live here, remember" he said with a smile.

"I meant what are you doing in bed. Usually you're up by 5 doing some business for Sonny"

"Sonny decided I can use some time with my wife. What do you say, one day of uninterrupted me and you time?" he asked her.

"What about Meg?" questioned Courtney.

"Emily and Nikolas are watching her" said Jason with another smile.

"Me and you time sounds excellent" said Courtney as she snuggled deeper into her husband's arms.

Jason pulled Courtney even closer to him and started kissing her all over. His lips brushed her flesh, and she let out little moans as he parted his lips so that his teeth and tongue got their turns at her sweet skin. Moving his head so that their mouths were together, he ran his hands down her arms, pulling them up and holding them over her head. His body was on top of hers, although he was careful not to crush her. He made his way down her neck, planting little kisses, until he became dangerously lower. Finally letting go of her arms, she threaded her fingers through the hair on the nape of his neck, breathing in deeply as he continued his kisses.

Jason finally rolled off of Courtney hours later. Both lovers were exhausted and out of breath. Courtney brushed her hair off of her face and turned and looked at him, giving him a little exhausted laugh.

"I guess that takes care of any exercising for the week" said Courtney.

"It certainly is a good way to stay in shape" agreed Jason with a smile.

"So, are we going to stay in bed all day?" asked Courtney.

"Do you have a problem with that?" he asked her.

"Me? Not at all" she said seductively, running her hand up his chest.

"Good" he whispered before kissing her again.

"But I could use something to eat" she said, pulling away from him.

Seeing the disappointed look on his face, she kissed his lips, but then got up and began to put her clothes back on, despite Jason's protests. Finally, he pulled her back down to the bed and removed her clothes hastily again before telling her to stay where she was. Hopping out of bed, Jason left the bedroom without even bothering to cover himself up. Courtney watched his naked ass walk away and she let out a little laugh, lying back down on the bed. Three minutes later, Jason came back upstairs with a bottle of wine, some prepackaged cookiedough, and a bag of popcorn. Passing Courtney a spoon, he tore open the package of cookiedough and the two dug in.

"What's with the junk?" she asked. "I always thought of you as a carrot stick and apples kinda guy"

"I figured we were getting enough exercise. We can eat unhealthily for one day" he said and she laughed a little at him before digging into the popcorn as well.

Later that day, Courtney's stomach was growling again.

"Looks we have to get out of bed and get some real food" he said.

"Looks like it" she said with a smile as she removed herself from her husband's arms and began to get dressed.

"You sure you don't want to eat naked?" he asked her.

"You really want me to go out in public naked?" she asked him, one hand on her hip.

"Public?" he asked with a groan. "I thought we could order in" he said.

"Works for me" she said kissing him and getting back into bed.

"I'll get Max to pick it up" he said as wrapped the sheet around his lower body so that he could go out and tell Max that they desperately needed Chinese food.

As Jason was in the hallway talking to Max, Courtney went into her closet to put on a sexy negligee. She wanted to tease Jason a little. Fixing her hair and makeup, Courtney decided she was pleased with her image. Walking downstairs, she was surprised to hear how quiet it was. Peaking her head out into the hallway, she saw no one there. She began to get nervous, so she quickly tried to lock the door. All of the sudden, a hand came and pushed the door open, preventing her from closing it. Another hand went over her mouth before she had time to scream, and she felt herself being overpowered by the men that were coming at her. Courtney struggled until she felt a cloth come over her mouth, causing her to black out as she was chloroformed. The men took the unconscious blonde and hurried out with her.

They had just made it into the elevator when Jason and Max emerged from the Corinthos penthouse. Max went and waited for the elevator so that he could go get the food, and Jason hurried back to his penthouse, neither suspecting that anything was wrong. When Jason saw that the door to his penthouse was open, he became frightened.

"Courtney!" he yelled, running in to it. "Courtney?" he called again.

Running over to Sonny's, he barged right in.

"Sonny, Courtney's gone" he said, his heart breaking as he even said the words.

"What do you mean she's 'gone'?" he asked his best friend, although by looking at Jason's face, he knew already.

"I don't know. The door was opened, and it looked like there was a struggle, and she's not in the penthouse anymore" said Jason, trying to keep his tears at bay. "Oh my god, Meg!" Jason said, immediately taking out his cell phone and dialing his sister's number.

Sonny didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to comfort Jason. He didn't know how to comfort himself. How was his sister just snatched out from under his nose?

"Emily, its Jason. Is Meg ok?" he asked, nearly hysterical.

"She's fine, why?" asked Emily.

"I'm sending a guard over to bring you and Meg to the penthouse. Nikolas can come too. It's going to be Marco. Don't answer the door to anyone but him" demanded Jason.

"Alright, just calm down and tell me what's wrong. You're scaring me" said Emily.

"Someone took Courtney" said Jason, bearing the pain of even saying the words.

Ten minutes later, Emily was rushed into the penthouse with Nikolas. Nik had Meg in his arms, and Jason stopped pacing long enough to run to them and take his daughter back. Cradling her in his arms, he breathed in a sigh of relief that she was ok.

"What happened Jase?" asked Emily.

"I don't know. I went into Sonny's penthouse for a minute, and when I came back our door was open and Courtney was gone. The stuff by the door was knocked on to the floor" he said motioning to the mess.

"Did you call the police?" asked Nikolas and Jason gave him a look that quickly shut him up.

"Do you have any idea who took her?" asked Emily with concern as she lightly put her hand on her brother's arm.

"No" he said softly, handing Meg to Emily.

Jason sat down on the couch and put his head in his hands. Emily gave Meg to Nikolas and sat down with Jason, rubbing his back gently.

"It'll be ok, you'll find her" said Emily, trying to keep him thinking positively.

"I don't know what to do. I need her Emily. Where is she?" asked Jason, looking vulnerable and hurt.

At this point, Meg started crying and fussing. Nikolas tried to calm her down, but it was something only her daddy could do. Taking Meg back in his arms, he rocked her back and forth and rubbed her back.

"Do you want us to stay?" asked Emily.

"No, it's ok" said Jason. "But I want to put a guard on you" said Jason.

"That's fine" said Emily softly.

Sonny walked in and led Emily and Nik from the room to go introduce Emily to her new professional body guard. Jason sat down on the couch and propped his legs up on the coffee table, putting Meg in the little nook he had created. The little girl cooed and let out a small smile. In spite of himself, Jason managed to give her a weak smile back.

"You look so much like your mommy" said Jason. "I know that it's just a coincidence, but I can't help but feel that you came into our lives on purpose" he said, giving off a sad little laugh. "Courtney would love to hear me say that something happened for a reason. That I'm suddenly believing in a divine intervention or whatever" said Jason as Meg started to cry.

Jason adjusted Meg in his arms so that he was holding her close to his body, but nothing he did calmed her down. She wasn't hungry, her diaper wasn't dirty, she didn't want any of her toys- nothing.

"I know what's wrong" said Jason as realization hit him. "You miss your mommy. Its ok Meggie, I miss her too. I miss her so much" said Jason as a lone tear ran down his face. "Someone came into our own home and just took her from me. How could I have let this happen?" Jason asked Meg, knowing full well that she couldn't answer. "I promised her I would protect her, and I let her down. How could I have done that?" asked Jason as he held Meg tighter to him and the two just cried together.

Courtney awoke with a splitting headache. Sitting up, she looked around the room that she was in. It was small, but not too small. She was resting on a small bed, and other furniture in the room included a dresser, a chair, a small table with another chair, and a television. Getting up, Courtney saw that there was a small bathroom off of her room, including a tub with a shower, a toilet, and a sink. There was also a tiny kitchen with a fridge that had some food and a microwave. There were no knives though she noticed regrettably, knowing that her captors wouldn't have given her a weapon anyway. Seeing one more door, Courtney pulled at the knob, but just as she suspected, it was locked tight. Going over to the one window in the room, she saw that she was in an area with lots of trees and not much else. Shivering, she hugged her arms around her body and looked down at what she was wearing. She was still in the negligee that she had put on for Jason. At the thought of him, her heart gave way. She sat down on the bed and started to cry. She wanted her husband so badly. She thought about how worried he must be. She didn't want him worrying over her. She hated it when he worried. He always looked so much older and weaker. He wasn't her strong, strapping husband. What she would give up if it just meant she was in his arms right now. She wouldn't eat junk food anymore, and she wouldn't make Jason watch chick flicks. It would be all vegetables and action movies. If only she could be with her husband. And then there was Meg. She must be upset too that Courtney wasn't there. And poor Jason, having to take care of her all by himself while worrying about her. Trying to assure herself that Leticia was there and that Jason wasn't alone in taking care of Meg, Courtney was able to calm down a little bit. Walking over to the dresser, she opened one of the drawers and pulled out a green tank top and a pair of white pajama pants. Slipping into them, she took the blanket off of the foot of the bed and wrapped herself in it. She wished that the blanket was Jason's arms. God did she wish that the blanket was Jason's arms.
Jason had finally gotten Meg to fall asleep. Carrying her upstairs, he put her in her crib and turned down the lights. The sickening thought that Courtney was taken from her own home ran through his mind, and he sat down in the rocking chair in Meg's room. Taking the blanket off of the back of the chair, he covered himself up and just watched Meg sleep. He had no intentions of getting any sleep. Not while Courtney was gone. Not while she was missing, and all alone. He only hoped that whoever had her was treating her right. That they were giving her plenty of food, and water, and keeping her warm. That they didn't dare lay a finger on her. They were already dead, but if they hurt her, their deaths would be much slower, and much more painful. Jason opened and closed his fist, trying to work through his anger. Looking at Meg's peaceful form, he calmed down a little bit. But the only thing that would truly calm him down was having his wife in his arms.
Courtney lied down in the bed and attempted to go to sleep. She wondered if Jason and Meg were alright. Did they miss her? She knew that Jason was currently nursing a broken heart. She knew because she was too. She wanted her husband and baby, was that too much to ask? Wiping a tear off of her face, she tried to imagine that she was at home with Jason and Meg was in the next room. But as much as she wanted to, she couldn't.
