Chapter 11

Jason was confused now, "Who's her Courtney?"

She looked up with tear brimmed baby blue eyes, and said quietly, almost in a whisper, "My daughter.

Jason was confused. Courtney, had a daughter? "Courtney what are you talking about?"

"Jason there is a lot about my past that you don't know." She said while she wiped the rest of the tears that fell from her eyes, and stood up. She led her and Jason over to the coach, prepared to tell him about everything in her past.

"When I was about 18 or 19, I had gotten involved with him, because he got me pregnant. My mom was so mad at me, so she kicked me out. Eddie took me in, and told me that he loved me, and that he would take care of me and the baby, and I believed him. Well we had been living together for a couple months, and everything was going great, until one night, he came home, drunk out of his mind, and started to hit me, and I just told myself that this was only a one time thing, but it keep happening. He's hit me, and then one day, I just couldn't take it anymore. I found the gun that he kept in the lock box, and when he came home, I shot him, until I was sure he was dead, but god I was so wrong." She said, now near tears. Jason continued to hold her until she was finished.

"Then I ran. I didn't know where else to go, and so I went back to my mom's and she took me back in. It was quiet for a while, and I was actually starting to feel normal again, until one night, he called me, and he said that he would find me, and he would always be after me, becasue I could never run away from the father of his child. I got scared and angry, and I told him that I dared him to touch me or my baby, and he hung up."

"A couple months after that, I had this beautiful baby girl. She was my whole life, Jason, and I was happy. I felt at peace, just me and her. Together and we didn't have to worry about Eddie, because I thought that he would leave me alone, because I knew he did not want a baby. But I was wrong, again. About a year later, it was in the middle of the night, and I heard a loud noise coming from her nursery, and I ran into it, and I sa- saw a huge man, with a gun in the crib.. and.. oh my god how could he do that to her! He shot her Jason! He shot my baby! My precious angel, who did nothing to that bastard! But no, he sent his thugs after her, like she was an object, that needed to be taken from me, and in the worse possible way!" She screamed, now in fits of tears, and shaking violently. Jason held onto her for dear life, and just soother her, while running his fingers through her hair, to try and calm her down. She finally calmed down, and started again.

"I screamed at him, and he pointed the gun at me, and the last words from his mouth were, "I told you, you could never run away from me, because I'd find you." And then he shot me, because the next two weeks, I was in a coma, and I woke up. My mom was actually great. She helped me throught it, but I knew she was dying to say, "I told you so." But she actually was really great. I eventually got through it, but sometimes, I find myself thinking about her. Like when your away on buisness, I cry myself to sleep, but I don't do it every night, just that one night a year. When I lost my baby, to the viscious bastard that took my precious baby girl away from me. My friend Jack also got me through it. He was there for me all the way. I knew that he knew that Eddie hit me, because everytime I'd make up another lame lie about the bruise on my face, he could just tell. He was my best friend, and he tried to help me, but Eddie's thugs put him in the hospital, so, to save him, I told him to stay away from me, and out of my life, because I just couldn't see him hurt himself because of me. But when my mom left to find Mike, I stayed with him for a little while. He was just great, but I still feel broken inside of me, and it just tore me apart when I lost our baby, because I had to feel that pain all over again."

For the first time, Jason opened his mouth and asked, "What happened after that?"

"Well when I woke up from my come, and realized that my baby was gone, I vowed to myself that Eddie was going to pay, so I went to the cops, and told them how he hit me when I was pregnant, and they found him and arrested him. He was also convicted of other crimes, because of his buisness, but he was sentenced for life. I just.. god Jason I know he is back here to hurt you and me." Courtney said in a distraught voice.

"Shh... Courtney listen to me. He is not going to hurt you as long as I am around. That bastard will not lay one hand on you, do you understand me." He said strongly, so that she understood that he would never let that happen to her.

"I know. God Jason I just don't want him to hurt you either." She started to say, but Jason kissed her passionatly to keep her from saying anything else. When they pulled away, he looked into her beautiful baby blue eyes, and then kissed her on the forehead. He leaned her back to rest on his chest, and ran his fingers through her hair, and occasionally kissed her forehead to help calm her down.

"Jason, Eddie came her to hurt me, and he wants to hurt you, because I'm with you. I mean, Jason, Eddie is powerful, and he is ruthless."

"Well you don't have to worry about him. Because he's not going to touch you. I'll kill him." He said venomously as he looked back down at his beautiful woman, as she looked back up at him with her beautiful face. He leaned down and kissed her. She leaned back up, and while he kept control of the kiss. She moaned into his mouth, as he pushed her back into the plush cushions of the couch. They continued to make out heavily on the couch. Courtney pushed up his shirt to feel his smooth skin.. while Jason worked on getting her shirt undone. They broke away once Jason finally got her shirt undone. He looked into her eyes, and saw all the love in them. God how had he been so lucky to get this second chance with this wonderful woman. He smiled at her lovingly, and then proceded to pick her up, and walk upstairs to their bedroom.

Eddie had been sitting out on the docks... looking at a picture of his beloved Courtney. He wanted her to pay, and now that Morgan was involved, he was going to make him suffer to. His thought's were interupted by his phone ringing.

"Yeah."

"We've found him Mr. Garcia." The man on the other line said.

"Good, because I heard he's very close to Ms. Matthews. You just keep a close eye on him." Eddie said to the man.

"Got it boss." The man said. And with that Eddie hung up his phone, and smirked evily.

"Just a little while sweetness, and you will be all mine." He said to himself, before turning, and walking up the steps, and off the docks.

The man read the sign that entered Port Charles. He sighed as the cab took him around a little bit of the town. He saw docks, and the water, and remembered all those times that he spent back at home looking out over the water. But he came here for a reason. He was here to comfort a friend. When she needed it the most.

The cab dropped him off in front of a place called the Metro Court. He payed the cab driver, and proceeded into the fancy hotel, and was met with a cheery woman at the front desk. He looked back at his watch and realized how late it was, and decided he should just stay here instead of looking somewhere else. Besides she was probely asleep now anyways. She gave him a key to the suite, and he smiled and thanked her. He grabbed his bag, and got on the elavoator that took him to the 24th floor. He walked into his room, and set his back down. He sighed as he looked around the room. It was definalty big enough, but he still felt kind of cramped. So with that thought, he decided to go take a long walk.

He had been walking for about twenty minutes now, and he ended up on the docks. He sighed as he walked down the old crickty steps, and walked over to the edge, and looked over at the water. He sighed in contentment, as he watched the waves swish against each other.

Courtney stirred and opened her eyes, still tired from her and Jason's previous activities. She looked over at his still sleeping peaceful form, and smiled. She watched as his chest rose up and down with every breath he took. She layed her head back down on his bare chest. She remembered their conversation before, and then remembered all of the horrible things that happened. She decided that she needed a walk to clear her head. She got up as carefully and as quiet as she could so she wouldn't disturb Jason, got dressed, and grabbed her leather jacket, and walked out the door,to the one place that could calm her nerves.

Courtney finally reached the docks, and sighed. She had been walking around for about 30 minutes, and finally got to the docks. She heard the distant waves crashing against one another, and it calmed her. But she noticed someone down there all ready, not wanting to disturb him, but then again, a little curious, she walked down very carefully. She walked over to the man, who in some weird way seemed kind of familiar.

The man turned around at the noise, and was shocked to see who was in front of him. " Courtney?"

Courtney looked at the man, who just said her name, in front of her, and squinted her eyes a little, and then finally it hit her. "Oh my god, Jack!"
