Chapter 1

'Your Pregnant"

Sonny's

Sonny: Your Pregnant?

Courtney: Yeah about 4 weeks.

Sonny: What about Emily?

Courtney: What about your only sister?

Sonny: Yeah Emily has been through hell.

Courtney: Like I haven't? My best friend is at a mental hospital, my marriage is over and I found out that I blocked a rape, that happened to me at 16. OMG I can't believe I told you. I didn't want anyone to know.

Sonny: Why?

Courtney: You don't need me on your plate. I feel I have this big time bomb on my chest and it could go off at any time.

Sonny: You're my sister, you can come to me anytime. But you need to tell Nicholas and Jax about the baby and then you can be less stressful. But you can talk to me if you need to. I am always here.

Courtney: Thanks. I might take you up on it. But first I got to follow your advice.

Sonny: Well I am always right.

Courtney: haha.

Carly: Your still yelling at my best friend I see.

Sonny: Carly? I thought you couldn't get released for awhile?

Carly: Well you know me, I brought myself out of it. I wanted to surprise you. Why was Courtney crying?

Sonny: She will probably tell you, just give her time.

The Loft

Courtney: Nicholas. Thanks for meeting me. The reason I broke things off is because I didn't want you to feel obligated and the news I got to tell you will change your world.

Nicholas: What is it? I want to be with you and I could never feel obligated to you.

Courtney: A miracle has happened… It wasn't motion sickness, I am pregnant.

Nicholas: Oh wow. This is big.

Courtney: I am fully prepared for raising this child by myself. I know you didn't want children. I am not sure if you're the father it could be Jax's. But there is a bigger chance that its yours.

Nicholas: Okay Courtney I just need some time.

Courtney: I understand. I got to go you can stay if you want

Kelly's

Mike: Hey Emily. What's the matter?

Emily: Wishing my marriage worked.

Mike: I am sorry.

Emily: Well Courtney should have stayed out of it.

Carly: You should leave my husband alone but you don't. We can't get everything we want.

Emily: Carly? Welcome back.

Carly: We need to talk outside.

Emily: Okay.

Carly: Don't ever let me catch you bad mouth my best friend ever again. She has been through hell. Nicholas was there for Courtney. I am sorry it ruined your marriage but I am glad someone was there for her. And Trust me hunny, Courtney is one of the best people I know she deserves a lot better than you always stressing her out. Also leave Sonny alone stop trying to be Sonny's sister. Thanks for taking care of my boys but their family is here now so you don't need to help anymore. Bye Emily.

Jax's Place

Courtney: Hi Jax. Can we talk?

Jax: Yeah sure.

Courtney: I am pregnant.

Jax. Oh my god. This is so great.

Courtney: Jax. There is a big chance that its Nicholas's child. I am sorry.

Jax: I want a paternity test immediately.

Courtney: Fine. It will happen in a couple of weeks, if we do it now it could hurt the baby. I will call and make the test.
