Chapter 4

A/N: Hang in there guys the reason Courtney left Katie is coming I swear just a bit of drama and a spoonful of fluff and you'll have the answer I swear.

Over the past week she had been spending a lot of time with Levi. She was glad that there was someone she could talk to. They had caught up a lot and were having fun just being girls again like they used to when they were in highschool.

"So tell me about your little girl" Levi said as she licked her sherbert ice cream cone.

She sighed. She knew it was coming, and Levi wasn't the type to just drop something. "Well she is 5 weeks old..."

"What! She is five weeks old...Damn you look good for someone who had a baby a little over a month ago. Wait you said you don't see your daughter..." Levi started rambling

"LEVI! If I'm going to tell you then you need to let me tell you alright" Levi nodded "No interruptions." Courtney glared.

"Ok" Levi said as she pretended to zip her mouth shut and throw away the key.

"Like I was saying she is 5 weeks old and her name is Katie Marie Morgan." Courtney started

"Oh that's cute." Levi commented and threw her hands up in surrender after taking in the dirty look Courtney was giving her. "Sorry continue."

"She was born September 4. She was 5lbs. 2oz, 16"." She stopped it was hard but she needed to get it off her chest. "For the most part I had a normal pregnancy and everything went smoothly, thank god for that I mean I was all alone and if anything happened to her I don't know how I would have made it."

"Court where was the father?" Levi asked as she watched her friend's crystal blue eyes start to water.

"He...I didn't tell him I was pregnant to begin with." She sniffled as she wiped her eyes.

"So wait if he never knew you were pregnant how is Katie living with him did you go back and then break up or something?" she asked totally confused.

"Ok let me start from the beginning..." she told Levi everything from finding her "dead" father to Aj to stripping to her brother. Levi's face dropped. "So Jason works for my brother Sonny and Sonny didn't want us together and he told Jason to pick his job or me...he picked his job" she stopped to catch her breath and to wipe away the tears.

"Woo...Court I'm supposed to be the soap opera queen. Your story takes like ten steps higher then mine." Levi said in a mock jealous tone.

Courtney laughed. Leave it to Levi to make a serious conversation funny. "Ok so we got through a good year of my life what about you how did David and you end up married and pregnant? Did he lose a bet?" she laughed as Levi looked shocked at the thought.

"NO! We happen to love each other very much. And for your information I met him at a gas station by a slushy machine." she stated very matter of factly.

Courtney couldn't help but crack up at that one. "Very romantic Levi Very romantic." she managed between giggles.

"Very funny how did you meet the father of your child?" She asked

"Actually we met at a diner I was a waitress at, this lady was complaining about her eggs so he gave the lady his eggs and then we started talking...and eventually after he started guarding me I realized I married the wrong brother." she said as Levi glared at her.

"Well then. I'm sorry David and I didn't have such the meeting but I'm sure you'll forgive us." she sneered as she let out a laugh herself. "SO you never told me how Katie ended up with Jason when he didn't even know about her."

Courtney groaned. "Well I...I left Katie on his doorstep at 3 am in the morning and banged on his door then before he answered I left." she said as she stood up and started heading for the trash can.

"Wasn't expecting that one." Levi said as she followed. "How could you just leave her like that how do you know that he'll keep her and take care of her?" she asked truly amazed that Courtney had it in her to just leave her daughter on a guys doorstep without him even knowing it was his child.

"I trust him and she needs him I can't be what either of them need right now and I don't wanna wreck their lives...besides he's already moved on." Courtney said not making eye contact.

"Court sweetie why can't you be what they need you to be...this isn't like you you've always wanted to be a mother if for nothing else but to prove that your mother didn't screw you up as bad as she tried to. What's wrong I can help." Levi said as she held Courtney by her shoulders and made her look at her."I can help"

Courtney fell into her. Sobs racking through her body. "I didn't want to I never wanted to" she cried.

"Ok, ok, never wanted to what sweetie." Levi asked as she led Courtney over to the couch to sit down.

Jason sat on the couch totally exhausted. He knew it would be tiring with a new baby especially without Courtney, but what he wasn't prepared for was the new Carly. Since Carly had found out that she was having a little boy she was a little disappointed but excited but god only knows now with Katie she...she has found herself a new friend. He knew why Carly like Katie so much though. Katie was the only one who unfortunately for her couldn't tell Carly to shut up yet. He laughed. He was enjoying his new daughter, his only daughter. He wished that Courtney was here though one she wasn't safe out by herself two she was missing out on Katie growing up.

"So what's the plan?" a woman's voice rang through the dark alley.

"Would you keep your voice down do you want everyone to know about this." a man scolded.

"Sorry my god...So what's the plan?" she asked again

"I was thinking now that their apart we have to keep them that way but the baby? What to do with the baby?" he pondered

"Jason isn't keeping the baby not a chance the little twit is a constant reminder of her." she yelled.

"Liz for gods sake if you don't shut up I'm gonna smack the ugly outta ya and I don't care how long it takes." he scolded. "I don't want Courtney having the baby so what are we going to do with it."

"Well niether of them can be able to get that child back so..." Liz suggested

"Lizzie are you suggesting we kill a child." he asked

"Well you got any better ideas?"

"Yea" Sonny answered his phone.

Carly watched from the couch as her husband paced the floor and listened intently to who ever was on the other side. It obviously wasn't business cause he hadn't kicked her out yet. But whatever it was it was starting to scare her. With every second that past Sonny's face become more and more disturbed.

"Are you positive?" Sonny asked and nodded. "Alright thanks Stan Bye." he looked over to his wife. He was happy she was here and safe.

"What?" CArly asked she could tell that whatever it was it wasn't good.

"They uh they found Courtney."he said looking down at his feet. They also found what had been going on before Courtney abandoned Katie and it wasn't good.

"And..." she prodded

"Umm Courtney..."

Sorry. I'll leave it up to your imagination though but I'll give you a small hint Sonny knows...
