I know I haven't updated this story in a while, but someone sent me a message about it and said they missed it, and since they missed it, I decided to update the story and start working on it again. I was going to put it on hold, but I won't, so here's a much needed update.

Ch 3

PH 4

Jason then noticed a little girl sitting on the couch. She had blond hair and blue eyes that looked exactly like Courtney. She looked like a younger version of Courtney. Jason sat next to the girl on the couch

"Hi. My name's Jason. What's yours"

"Megan"

"That's a pretty name"

Courtney saw this as a time to drop her news.

"Jason. This is Megan Michelle Matthews. My daughter. Megan this is my friend, Jason" Courtney said kneeling down to her daughter's height. Jason turned and looked from Courtney to Megan with wide eyes. Courtney sat looking at Jason's expression with fear. She hoped that this secret wouldn't end up destroying what she had with Jason.

"Um- Daugh" Jason was interrupted by Carly and Sonny entering the penthouse. Carly paused suddenly when she saw the little blond haired girl sitting in-between Jason and Courtney.

"Courtney, Max said you wanted to see us." Carly said still wondering who this little girl was.

"Yeah Carly, I wanted you and Sonny to meet someone" Courtney stood with Megan and walked over to where her best friend and brother was standing leaving Jason sitting on the couch staring at where Megan was just sitting.

"Carly, Sonny this is Megan. My daughter" Carly and Sonny's eyes both grew huge with the news that Courtney had just given them. Both were speechless.

"Da-Daugh-Daughter. This is your daughter" Carly stammered. Sonny saw that Megan began to get really scared by the way everyone was responding to her, so he decided to cheer her up. He knelt down to Megan height.

"Hi Megan, I'm your uncle Sonny, I'm your mother's brother" Sonny said while smiling at the little girl.

"Mommy I didn't know that you had a brother" Megan said while looking up at her mother. Courtney looked back down at her daughter and smiled.

"Well we just met a few years ago." Sonny said to his niece. "Look how about we go across the hall to my place and I'll let you meet your cousin, Michael. He has a lot of toys and I'm sure he'll show you."

"Yeah Megan, our son is really cool and I'm sure he would love to meet you" Carly said finally getting over the shock she received from the news.

"Can I mommy" Megan said while looking at Courtney.

"Sure you can. Thanks Sonny, Carly. I'll be over in a little bit to come get her" Courtney watched as Carly took her daughter's hand and led her out of the penthouse. Sonny closed the door, but not giving Courtney an encouraging look. Courtney took a deep breath before turning around and sitting on the love seat opposite Jason. Jason's expression still showed shock, but had calmed down a little.

Sigh. "Jason you have to believe that I never meant to keep this a secret from you. I just didn't know how to tell you"

Jason stood and walked over to the window, staring out. He took a few seconds before he responded.

"Why didn't you ever tell me about her Courtney. I mean I deserved to know"

Courtney stood and walked over to where Jason stood and stood behind him.

"I know. It's just I didn't want you to believe that I was someone who just ditched her child, I had my reasons for leaving her with Bill"

"Is that her father" Jason said referring to Bill.

"Yeah. We dated for 2 years. He was in love with me, but I wasn't in love with him" Sigh. "We had just broken up when I found out that I was pregnant with Megan. I was scared, happy, and worried all at the same time. I mean I was only 19 years old and I was pregnant. Anyway I told Bill about it and he was ecstatic. I mean he was so happy that he was going to be a father. We came to an agreement that he would keep her, but I would visit her from time to time. I wasn't ready to be a mother, but I wasn't going to take away Bill's chance to be a father. He loved her before he set his eyes on her. He would get his sister Sandy to help him. Anyway when I came here, I wasn't planning on staying, but it happened. And now I'm here, begging you to forgive me to not telling you about her. You have to understand that I didn't do it on purpose, I just couldn't. I was scared, scared that I'd lose you"

Jason turned and looked Courtney in the eyes. He understood why Courtney was scared.

"You are never going to lose me Courtney, I love you too much, and I'm sure I'm going to love your daughter like she was my own. I already love her because she came from you" Jason said as he wiped the tears from Courtney's cheek.

"Y-You don't know how happy I am to her to say that"

"Yes I do, I love you and I never want you to ever be scared to tell me anything. I will always understand" Jason said as he pulled Courtney into a hug. Courtney cried from happiness.

"I do have a question though" Jason said when the hug ended.

"What"

"What happened to her father."

"Bill died in a car accident last week. His sister Sandy is in no position to take care of Meg and I am her mother"

"Well I think she'll be happy here you know. She'll have to get use to me, but I'm willing to try."

"Do you know how much I love you for understanding all of this"

"Yeah, but I think we need to go across the hall so I can meet Meg again. But this time not freezing up"

"I would love that" Courtney put her arms around Jason and they both went across the hall to Sonny's.
