Chapter1

17 years later, Port Charles, NY

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP...SMACK...It was the same thing everyday. He would wake up hours before the alarm went off and lay in bed. Thinking. Thinking about everything but mostly about the last thing he said to her...

FLASHBACK

"We need to talk"

He looked up from his place on the docks to see her, and instantly his mind filled with guilt. He slept with her, he slept with her numerous times and that was just over a month and a half ago. He just couldn't get her out of his head. He loved her! So why did he feel so guilty when he looked at her.

She could she the look in his eyes. He was confused. He was unsure of what to do next. She however was sure of what she had to do. She just came from the hospital. They told her something that she thought would never happen to her again, ever again, but it did and now all she had to do was tell him. Talk about difficult.

"Look we need to talk about what..."she started

He knew what she was going to say, or at least he thought he did. He couldn't let her say it. If she said those words, those three little words, he'd never be able to walk away. And walking away is exactly what he had to do. He had responsibilities, and not to her any more but to the woman and baby girl in his home. So he did it. He broke her heart.

"Look, I don't care what you have to say. I can't do it. I won't. We can't work. That night, that night was a mistake. A mistake."

When the words came out of his mouth they seemed so cold. She didn't know what to say but she had to say something.

"Please...Just listen."

The way she said it made his heart break, but he didn't move he stared her straight in the eyes, never blinking and as harsh as he could make it sound he told her.

"Leave."

"What?"

"Leave. Leave me alone, Port Charles, whatever. Just don't come near me any more."

And with that he turned and left. Little did he know that she would listen, she would leave. She would start her life all over but not with out saying one last thing barley above a whisper...

"I'm pregnant Jason."

END FLASHBACK

"JASON"

The yelling from down stairs brought him out of his daydream. It was her he really didn't want to deal with her. Its like she never heard of knocking. He slipped on his pants and a shirt and made his way down the stairs.

"JASON"

"WHAT"

She glared at him. He looked exhausted. He always did.

"What happened to you?"

"Sam" Jason stated in a tone saying don't go there.

"Alright, alright, Sonny wants to see you. That and Lila wants you to get Sonny to let her go out."

Running his hand down his face in frustration. He really didn't want to deal with this. He wanted to get some coffee.

"Fine let Sonny know that I'll be over after I get some coffee at Kelly's. I need a walk."

With that said he grabbed his keys and left leaving Sam standing in the middle of the room.

"Fine, and Mister I don't like to talk about my felling or any thing at all leaves the building."

As Sam was leaving she looked around Jason's penthouse. It never changes in all the years she had known him it never changed. It still looked the same as when Sonny said Courtney redecorated. It hadn't changed. He really hadn't changed. As much as she tried to break down those walls he put up it was just too hard, but Lila did it with one look she had Jason, and Sonny wrapped around her little finger. With one last look around the room, Sam shut the door and walked back across the hall to her husband and daughter.

Los Angeles, California

It was a beautiful morning for a run down the beach to watch the sun rise. Of course every morning was considering she could never sleep. It had become her habit ever since Emma would cry in the early mornings. She would strap her into the stroller put her running shoes on and jog down the boardwalk to get the baby to sleep, her baby, their baby. As she thought about Emma her mind drifted...

FLASHBACK

She sat alone in Kelly's playing with her fingers. She knew she should tell him he was the father there was no question of that, but as she thought back to what he said to her she became more determined to leave. He told her it was a mistake, to leave. It never felt like one to her, it couldn't be, and she knew it. He was just trying to do what was right for the people living with him.

As she continued to sit there and think her mind continually wandered to them, the woman, and child sleeping in his home. She didn't really know what happened between them all she knew was it hurt to see them together. Together. They were together. As those thoughts washed over her mind she realized what she had to do. As the realization washed over her, she reached for her phone and dialed an all too familiar number.

BRING...BRING...As she waited for the phone to be answered she thought about what her baby would be like, girl or boy, would they have her smile or his, who's eyes? She was brought out of her thoughts by the voice on the other end of the line...

"Hello? Hello? Anybody there?"

"I'm sorry. I was just getting lost in my thoughts. Can you meet me at Kelly's in ten minutes?"

"Yeah, sure. Is something wrong?"

"No. Look we'll talk when you get here. Bye."

"O.K. What ever you say. See ya soon."

15 minutes later

As she approached the women she could tell that there was something going on. She walked around the table and sat in the vacant chair. She looked at the woman across from her and couldn't quite figure her out. Finally she spoke up.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"I'm leaving."

And like that she was confused

"What do you mean your leaving? Are you going on vacation? You better not be going with..."

"No I'm not going on vacation. I'm moving. I'm leaving Port Charles for good."

As she looked at the woman across from her she could see the questions coming.

"What, Why? You don't have to leave. He doesn't love her he's doing it out of obligation."

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does. He wouldn't want you to leave, he would..."

And just like that she lost it. She couldn't take it. So she snapped. At the top of her voice she screamed.

"CARLY! Would you just listen to me? I have to leave. He told me to. I can't stay. I'm moving."

She could see the questions in her friend's eyes so she continued.

"I'm moving to California. My stuff is on the way. I'm going by myself. I have to. Please, please don't be mad at me. I have to do this for me. I'll call you when I get settled."

With that the younger woman walked out of the restaurant and away from her past to a new life far away from the family that she loved so much.

END FLASHBACK

As she approached her home on that sunny Californian beach she was brought back to reality. Port Charles wasn't her life this was. As she neared the porch entrance to the kitchen she could smell the bacon cooking. She entered the kitchen and inhaled. God was she hungry.

"Morning Court."

"Morning Patty. You didn't have to cook."

"I would have had to Cook for that husband, and that child of mine any way so I came here to use your food," She stated with a smirk.

Patty was Max's wife. They came to California when Max found out she was pregnant. He promised he wouldn't tell Sonny, or Jason for that matter as long as he could come and watch over her. So he came stating to Sonny that he had a child to raise and his current lifestyle wasn't conducive to raising a baby. So him and Patty packed up and moved to California with their 6-month-old daughter Cassie.

"Yeah that's fine. Thanks. So where are they?"

"Their coming. Max is waking up Cassie as we speak."

"Talk about a headache."

"You're telling me. I think he's just glad he doesn't have to wake Emma." Patty stated with a giggle.

"Urg...I should probably go do that."

With that said Courtney made her way up the stairs to her daughters' room to do the impossible. Wake her up on a Saturday morning before noon, in fact it was only about 8:15, but they had a lot to do that morning.
