Chapter 5

"Court...sweetie what did you not want?" Levi asked as she attempted to console her unconsolable friend.

Courtney sat up. "Levi When I was pregnant with Katie, I met, I met this guy named Jax." she started as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "He...he was very nice and caring and supportive. He hired me as a secretary at one of his offices. I...I thought he was a really great guy because he was protective and all you know?" Levi nodded as she continued. "But then he became obsessive and violent and temperamental."

"Oh my god" Levi gasped as she understood where this story was going and felt bad that Courtney had had to endure this.

"I was almost 7 months pregnant at that point so I tried to just avoid him as much as possible but if it wasn't possible I said and did as little as possible to not anger him." she stopped to catch her breath. It wasn't exactly easy to relive the situation but she had to finish what she started. "I needed the job but I had to keep my baby safe. She was what was important and after another 2 weeks I realized that if I didn't get away from that town and him then Katie wouldn't make it into this world and I just couldn't...I couldn't stand the thought of losing her, so I ...I left in the middle of the night."

"Oh sweety" Levi hugged her. It sounded like a nightmare and she couldn't imagine herself having to go through all that. She was lucky that she had David and that he would never leave her. "You don't have to keep going I understand if you don't wanna tell me the rest." she surprised herself by saying this. But as much as she wanted to know the rest of the nightmare her friend had been through she knew that it wasn't right to push and that it had taken a lot for Courtney to tell her this much.

"No...I need to finish this." she said as she sat up to continue her story. "He found me 3 days later in a little town in the middle of nowhere Virginia. He asked around town until he found where I was living and I came home one night to him sitting at my kitchen table." she wiped away her tears, she had let Jax take advantage of her once and she wasn't going to let him do it again. "That night he...he..."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"He raped her." Sonny explained to Jason. He had called Jason over when he had gotten the call from Stan.

"What did you say his name was again?" Jason asked. He couldn't believe himself if he hadn't bowed down to Sonny's every command then she would never had to of gone through any of this. But he couldn't dwell in the past what he had to do now was kill the son of a bitch and find Courtney and bring her home.

"Jasper Jacks they call him Jax" Sonny answered as he flipped through the file that Max had just delivered.

"Jax...Jax... it sounds familiar doesn't it" He asked trying to think of where he had heard the name before.

"No" Sonny said flatly as he turned to his best friend. "What do you want to do? This is yours you tell me how you want to handle it and I will take care of it."

"Find Jax I want to take care of him personally. I will find Courtney." he said as Katie started to cry he picked her up out of the carrier and walked around.

Sonny watched his best friend tend to his daughter. It amazed him how something so little could calm him down so quick. The hatred he felt for this Jax bastard couldn't possibly be anything close to what his friend felt. This guy had touched his sister while she was pregnant with his niece. He kept playing different scenarios through his head of what could of happened to Courtney and Katie. "Ok" he said as he walked over to the phone and started dialing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Levi hugged her friend before she continue. "I was having stomach pains afterwards so Jax took me to the hospital. Oh God Levi I thought I was going to lose her it hurt so bad." she choked out in between sobs.

"Oh Sweetie" Levi comforted as she held her long time friend. She couldn't believe so many horrible things had happened to such a sweet person.

"The doctors told me that she was under to much stress and that I would lose her if they didn't do an emergency c-section." she wiped her tears away. "Next thing I knew I had her in my arms. Unfortunately my happiness was short lived because in came Jax playing the role of a new dad. Wouldn't you know my mother walked in right behind him."

"Janine?" Levi asked confused at how the wreck that Courtney called a mother fit into the story.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He paced the length of the room with his daughter in his arms. "I'm sorry" he whispered to the sleeping angel. He couldn't believe that Katie had been through so much with her mother and it was all because he was to pig headed to see what he wanted, what he needed was more important than doing what Sonny thought was best. "I'm sorry that I put you and your mother through so much and I wasn't there when you needed me the most. I promise that I will find her and then we will, all three of us take a little vacation and be a family." he told her as he kissed her forehead and laid her down in her crib. He proceeded to his room, he laid down in the his bed. But he couldn't sleep. He couldn't stomach that because of his actions both Courtney and Katie had paid dearly. Not anymore as soon as he found her neither her nor Katie would ever hurt again not as long as he could help it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Janine?" Levi asked confused as to how the wreck Courtney called a mother fit into the story.

"Yea apparently Janine and Jax were married. Wouldn't you know it. Well basically Janine and Jax came in with some papers saying I was their surrogate mother or something and they took Katie." she said as she stood up and started to pace.

"Oh My God! I know Janine is heartless but I can't believe she would stoop that low to steal her own daughters child."Levi said appalled by Janine's heartless antics.

"Yea I know I mean any shred of love I thought she ever had for me was gone right then. I mean it sounds awful but she was my mother I loved her regardless and she sticks her boyfriend..."she said frustrated she felt like pulling her hair out.

"You mean husband?" Levi asked

"WHATEVER!" she yelled. Levi looked sorrowfully at her friend. "I'm sorry I didn't mean..."

"No no it's ok I shouldn't have..." Levi started to apologize but was cut off by Courtney.

"I'm sorry it's not your fault." she sighed. "I was released later that day and looked up Janine and Jax. When I finally found there house, get this, a servant answered the door and told me I wasn't welcome in the house."she laughed sardonically.

"Wow. I still...I know that Janine stoops low for a quick buck and all...I mean she sold you off quite a few times...But taking your baby that's...I would have killed her." she said as she place a protective hand over her ever growing stomach.

"I was about to I really was...But I needed to get my baby back. Since I obviously wasn't in any condition to do it myself I ugh recruited some help." she said

"What do you mean you recruited some help?"Levi asked worried of what "recruited some help" meant.

"I ugh...I hired someone to kidnap my daughter and bring her to me."

"COURTNEY! You hired someone to kidnap your daughter do you know how much...Court they can send you to jail if anyone ever found out." Levi said astonished with her friends actions.

"Levi what was I supposed to do huh? Leave my daughter to my mother and that godforsaken man?" she said bewildered by her friends reaction.

"Ok so what happened next?" Levi asked knowing that in her heart she would have done the same thing.

"Well short version he brought me Katie and I paid him in cash and ran. I got into a car and drove to Port Charles...I knew that eventually Jax and Janine will figure it out and I don't want Katie near me when they do." she explained

"How do you know that she's better off with Jason?" Levi asked.

"Well I know Jason will never give up that little girl never."she said as she looked at her best friend hopefully. "Besides Janine never knew abut Jason and I changed her name from the wretched name they had pinned on her."

"What was her name they had given her?" Levi asked intrigued.

She laughed. "Leave it to my mother, to pick the worst name ever." she paused collecting herself for a moment. "Samantha" she finally spoke. "Samantha Elizabeth Jacks."

"Oh god that's awful."Levi said making a face of utter disgust. "Wow see now you saved that poor child she would have been put through hell. Can you imagine the kids would tease her with Spam and Lizzie lizard."

"Oh god Sammy" she burst into laughter. "And Jacks what the hell is that, who's last name is Jacks."

"Well you know if your desperate enough to steal from cereal boxes my heart goes out to ya." Levi said sticking her tongue out. "Well" she started patting her stomach. "We have already chosen Tiffany Lynn Desrosier or Jacob David Desrosier."

"Oh how cute." she commented. "I was going to name Katie, Kyle Zachary, had she been a boy."

"Oh no Jr.?" Levi asked playfully.

"What do you mean?" she asked confused

"Well if you remember back a few years it was your dream to name your first son Jr.. You thought it was just so cute naming your little boy after his father. " She explained with her hands intertwined together under her chin speaking in a dreamy tone.

"Shut up" she said as she pushed her friend slightly. "Your so mean. And yes I still would like to name my son Jr. But you know one he doesn't exist and two Jason always said that he thought that it would burden his son to be named after him." she said as she took out her wallet "Here" she said as she held out her hand. "That's him."

"Wow"Levi said as she took the wallet form Courtney's hands. "He is a total babe."she shrieked. "Oh is this Katie?" she asked pointing to another picture.

"Yea that's my little girl." she said pride in her voice.

"Wow she's gorgeous! You know you'd make a fortune as a surrogate."Levi commented.

"LEVI! I can't believe you just said that." she scolded.

"Sorry but you would." Levi replied not really sounding apologetic.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm coming!" he yelled as he ran down the stairs. He was going to be majorly pissed if whoever was at the door woke up Katie. "What" he demanded swinging the door open.

"I want my baby back NOW!"
