A/N Oh, a little of this story is a PC crossover, and I will mention some of the other PC characters later on in my story, but not a lot of them, just like one, or two more, but that's about it, other than Jack. Well just wanted to let you all know that. Now get to reading!

Chapter 12

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!"

"Courtney!" The man, known as Jack, turned around and faced the beautiful blonde. She immediatly went in for a hug, which surprised Jack, but was nonetheless happy. It was so great to have her back in his arms again.

Courtney smiled as she gave her long time friend a hug, and as she felt the familiar embrace of him. God she was so happy to see him. But when did he get here, and why was he here? They finally pulled away, and Courtney could feel the spark, even though she tried so hard to ignore it. Which surprised her, because, her Jack were... but suddenly her train of thoughts were interupted by Jack.

"Hey you okay. I know what day it is today." He said solemly. He looked up, and watched as her baby blues changed immediatly from overly excited, to unbelievably sad. He saw the tears well up in her eyes as she began to speak.

"Yeah. I kind of figured that's why you were here." She said quietly.

"Yeah well I'll always be hear for you, you know that." He said as he put a friendly hand on her shoulder, and put the other one on her cheek. They both felt the spark, again, and Jack immediatly removed his hands from their previous postions, back down to his side.

Courtney began to get a little jittery, and pushed a strand of hair behind her ears. She looked back up at him, and noticed something else in his blue eyes. There was something else he wasn't telling her, but she wasn't going to get into it right now. She shook her head lightly, and turned towards the water.

"You know, I will never be over it. The way that bastard took my daughter away from me. He had no damn right! She was my beautiful little baby girl, and now... I will never be able to watch her grow, because she's dead in the ground, because of him!" She said passionatly, while Jack came up behind her, and wrapped his arms around her. She turned around in his strong embrace, and looked back up into his eyes, silently thanking him with her own teary one's, for being her, with her.

Jack looked back down in her teary eyes, and just wrapped his arms tighter around her small frame. He was so glad he was here to make sure she was okay. But he couldn't lie, he just wanted to see her too. To see how she was doing, and what her life was like. But for now, he was settled for just comforting her as a friend.

She pulled away from him, and sighed. "So, why else are you here? I mean I haven't heard from you, in,like, what, four or five years? So what's up?" She asked as she watched him tense up, but trying to hide it.

"Well, I got a job offer, you could say." He said uneasily.

"Really, that's great!" She exclaimed, so happy for her friend.

"Yeah." He said as he shoved his hands in his pockets.

"So... did you come alone... or is there some secret girlfriend that your not telling me about?" She said winking. He laughed at her, and shook his head.

"Nope, I came alone." He said as he looked back down at her.

"Oh, well you'll find somebody." She said as she jokingly gave him a "pity pat" on the back, then laughed.

"For your information, little miss, I have been out with tons of girls, just, none of them were really right for me." He said. Yeah, because she's the one you want!" He thought to himself.

"What about you?" He said.

"What about me?" She asked with squinted eyes.

"Well, have you found somebody?" He asked. Please say no, please say no... he almost begged to himself.

"Actually yeah, I have." Damn, he thought to himself. Well of course she has somebody... why wouldn't she?

"That's great. He better be treating you right, because you know I just want you to be happy." He said.

"Yeah I know, and don't worry, Jason would never hurt me... he loves me." She said, hoping to reassure him.

"Well that's great." He said, somewhat dissapointed. It's not that he didn't want her to be happy, it's just that, he wanted her to be happy with him, not this other guy. But he loved her, and he wanted her to be happy, bottom line, no matter who she was with.

"Thanks. Hey maybe you can meet him sometime." She said, not catching his dissapointment in his last words. She sighed, as she watched him shrugg his shoulders as a maybe, and she wondered, "Is he really happy for me?" She thought to herself, because one thing's for sure, she knew Jack, but she remembered how it was with them. Not even wanting to think about it, she ran her fingers through her blonde tresses, and looked down at her watch, and gasped slightly.

"Oh shit! I totally forgot about the time! Wow it's late. I think I better be getting home." She said as she looked back up at Jack.

He smiled down at her, and said, "Yeah wouldn't want, what's-his-name, to get worried." He said jokingly. She shoved him playfully, and gave him another hug, before turning and walking back up the stairs, not before turning back to take one long last look at her past, which she had a good feeling, was going to come back into her life. And with that last thought, she sighed, and walked back home, to her present, and her future, hoping she wouldn't mess it up, now that her past was here.

Twenty minutes later, Courtney crept back into the still dark penthouse. She took off her jacket, and placed her keys and cell phone down on the dest beside the door. She slowly crept upstairs to hers and Jason's bedroom, and quietly slipped through door. She quietly shut the door, and looked over at the bed, where the love of her life was still sleeping soundly. She smiled at the image, and walked over to the bathroom, and changed into a blue tank top, and matching pajama bottoms. She walked out, and then walked over to a still sleeping Jason. He was laying sideways, kind of, and his head was turned slightly in the direction of Courtney's pillow. She saw him intake another breath, and smile slightly, noticing that he was smelling her scent that was still on the pillow. She smiled as she crawled under the covers, trying not to wake hiim, and crawled closer to his bare chest, resting her head against it. She smiled when she felt his strong arms circle around her, bringing her closer to him, if that were even possible. She rest on of her hands on top of his chest, while she rested her head right above his beating heart. She continued to have a smile on her face, as she looked back up at Jason's still closed eyes, and reached up a hand, and gently placed it on his cheek, and whispered, "I love you Jason, with all of my heart." She then, gently rested her head back on his chest, and sighed in contentment.

"I love you too." She heard him whisper. She smiled, again, and fell into a deep sleep, knowing that no matter what happened, they both loved each other, and nothing was going to tear them apart.

The morning came, and Jason groaned as he felt the sun's rays hit his tanned face. He opened his eyes, and found a sleeping Courtney draped over his chest. He smiled at how cute she looked in the morning with all of her silky golden hair, that he loved to run his fingers through, was tassled about over his broad chest, and how she looked so peaceful, and how content he felt at just the feeling of her breath on his chest. He began to thread his hands through her soft lockes, and almost kicked himself for waking his beautiful angel up.

"Morning." He said once she finally opened up her eyes, to reveal her beautiful blue orbs.

She sighed deeply, and turned her head, and placed it on the arm that was draped over his chest, and said, "Morning."

Jason felt cloth against his bare legs, and saw that she was dressed. Confused, he asked, "Uh, last night you wearn't wearing clothes?"

She laughed at his confused look, and said, "I know, but I went out for a little while last night, to clear my head, and when I got back I put on these." She said, as she bit her lip, holding back one little important detail.

"Oh okay. Well, I gotta go. Sonny told me a couple days ago that somebody wanted to meet us today, and he told me I better not have my ass late for this meeting, or he'd shoot me in it." He shrugged, while Courtney laughed.

"And people wonder why your so loyal to him." She said jokingly.

"Yeah, I know, I don't know why it's such a mystery to people?" He responded jokingly, making her laugh, the sound that he just couldn't get enough off.

"Okay, so I'll see you later." He said while giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Okay." She said. He started to get up, and put on fresh boxers and jeans on, and then heard Courtney's voice say, "Hey!"

"What?" He asked as he walked over to the bed. She grabbed him by the shirt, and brought him down to her lips for a passionate kiss. Jason happily responded, and placed his hands on each side of her, while his tongue searched her mouth hungrily for hers. He leaned futher down, while Courtney placed her hands around his neck pulling him closer to her, so she could deepen their kiss.

When they eventually pulled away breathless, Courtney said, "Just a little preview of what's to come later." She said while biting her lip, knowing it drove Jason crazy when she did that.

"Really." He said as he smirked at her.

"Yeah, so you better not take to long." She said in a mock warning.

Jason sighed, knowing that she was torturing him. "You know what, I'm sure Sonny's not going to care if I'm a few minutes late..." He said, reaching down to kiss her again, but was cut off by Courntey's finger going to his lips.

"Oh, no. You're just going to have to wait until tonight." She said before giving him another quick kiss, and got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom.

"Damn woman." He said to himself, before smiling, and walking out the door, anticipating what tonight had to offer.

Courtney got out of the shower, and dried her hair, and got dressed for the day in a simple red button down shirt, and light blue jeans, with her leather boots. Her and Carly were going shopping today, and she couldn't wait! Her and Carly haven't really been able to hang out much in the past couple months, and now they were making up for lost time. She just put on the other boot when the phone rang. She rushed over to get it, and picked it up.

"Hello?" She asked into the reciever.

"Hey girl. You ready yet?" Carly asked. Courtney smiled as she heard her sister-in-laws voice.

"Yeah, just about to walk out the door right now." Courtney said.

"Well good. I'll be over there in five minutes. See ya." Carly said in her overly excited voice, while Courtney just laughed and said, "Okay see ya Carly." She laughed as she hung up the phone, and went over to grab her jacket. Just when she was about to put it on, the phone rang again. She sighed and said to herself, "God it's like grand central station here! Hello." She said once she got to the phone.

"What a pretty voice you have Ms. Matthews." A creepy, distorted voice said over the phone. Courtney froze, and angrily replied, "Who the hell is this?"

"Now, what's a beautiful woman like you, doing with a killer like Morgan?" The voice said.

Courtney was beyond pissed. "Who the fuck is this?" She nearly yelled.

"Nice talking to you Ms. Matthews." They said before hanging up.

"Shit!" She yelled, before slamming down the phone on the reciever. She had no idea who the hell that was, but whoever it was, wanted something from Jason, and they just wanted to scare her. But all she was, was pissed! But she heard a knock comf from the door, and ignored it, and opened it to reveal Carly. Carly noticed the look on Courtney's face, and immediatly asked, "Honey what's wrong?"

Courtney hid it as best as she could, and said, "Nothing. Now let's go shopping!" She said before grabbing her purse, and walking out the door, with Carly in tow.

Courtney and Carly were so busy laughing and talking, that Courtney didn't even think about the phone call earlier. They walked into Penthouse 2, laughing, and their hands full of bags. Carly flopped down on the couch with a heavy sigh. Courtney went back into the kitchen to retrieve two waters for the two ladies.

"So... You and Jason are finally back together! Yes!" Carly screamed in delight.

"God Carly! I don't think all of Port Charles heard you!" Courtney said, but also still very happy.

"I just can't believe you didn't tell me sooner! I mean, god, you and Jason! I told you both that you two still loved each other. And thank god that slut is gone! And I can't believe you kicked her ass! I tought you well." Carly said, feeling proud. Courtney just looked at her, and just laughed, which made Carly laugh too. Courtney got up to refill her's and Carly's waters, just then the phone rang. Courtney tensed up, but Carly didn't seem to notice.

"Are you gonna get that?" She asked.

"Uh... yeah." Courtney went over to the phone, and answered it.

"Hello." She said.

"Hello Gorgeous, tell me, how is your boyfriend doing?" The same cold voice said over the phone.

"Listen you sick..." Courtney started to say, but was cut off by the sudden click. She looked back down at the reciever, and hung it up. Carly was not very curious and asked, "Who the hell was that?"

Courtney looked over Carly, and said, "We have to get over to Sonny's now." So with that the both of them rushed out the door.

Courtney was too busy thinking about what that call could meant. Why was someone doing this to her. Maybe someone's just messin with me? God, she couldn't even think straight. She pulled up to Sonny's house, and rushed through the front doors, with Carly behind her. The guards tried to stop them.

"Ma'am, they're in a meeting." But Courtney couldn't even hear what he said. She rushed through the doors that led into the living room, trying to find Jason.

"Courtney, what the hell is going on?" Carly said.

"Jason... are you..." She got cut off, when she saw him.

"Thank you. We appreciate what you're doing for us." Sonny said, as him and Jason shook hands with their new employee.

"Thank you very much for this oppertunity." The man said, before turning around, and facing the speechless woman in front of him.

"Courtney... wha-"

"Jack! Oh my god! What are you doing here!" She asked as she gave him a huge hug, while Jason looked on.

A/N 2:Yes... I know... it's wrong to leave it here... but I wanted to give you guys a long, and filled chapter.. so here it is! So review and tell me how it was!
