A/N: so I know I've never done shout outs in any of my stories but I think I should recognize those of you who are faithful readers and review so here it goes.

Leanna R. - I'm glad you loved this chapter it means a lot that you like it so much. Jase is a great daddy isn't he I just wish the writers would get a clue already.

Pureevil230 - I completely agree I hate Janine to. Oh and Yes eventually Courtney does come home.

LivvyWriter - yea that's the general response I think everyone hates her. Although I can't imagine why lol.

RaiderQueen101 - Poor David is right! You know as much as you feel bad for him you gotta love the gesture right?

Middiegurl08 - Sorry for the cliffhanger and all will be explained with Katie I promise. And if you wan to know when and if Courtney comes home and what happens surrounding her arrival in PC than you're just gonna have to wait like everyone else. I know I'm evil but can you blame me?

Emmalee05 - Janine and Jax are awful I agree. I thought the name Samantha Elizabeth fit since you know lizbitch and spam. I'm glad you liked it. Don't worry about Scottie he's just an ass looking for attention.

Well I think I got all of you who reviewed that chapter if I missed you I am eternly sorry and will make it up to you I promise but as off right now I think I'm set. So enjoy my Journey obsession.

Chapter 7

"AJ "she called as she rounded the corner into the alley that had become their secret meeting place. "AJ..." she called again.

"Liz would you shut up before you wake the whole neighborhood" Aj said in a totally wasted voice he stumble off the dumpster he had been sitting on.

"Great your drunk! How am I supposed to work with you when your drunk?" Elizabeth whined.

"Baby... Drunk or not we can take care of that god for saken child tonight." he said with a smile.

"Really? do tell." she inquired.

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

" Hi I'm Dr. Pelton. Well she stable for now. But we have found that she has a small case of pneumonia. She should be fine after a few days, we have her on antibiotics but I think that we should keep her over night just to monitor her." he explained

"Can...Can I see her."Jason asked his focus now completely on his daughter and her health.

"Yea I would suggest a max of 2 people in the room at a time just so she isn't getting worked up she needs sleep and it would probably help having you in with her. "Dr. Pelton said.

"Yea thanks"Jason replied

"No problem she's in room 201"

Just as Jason turned to go to his daughter Scott Baldwin grabbed his arm. "Not so fast Morgan your not going any where near that baby."

"Scott what the hell are you doing are you that heartless to not even let the man see his baby" Carly yelled " who at the moment isn't feeling so hott." she added.

"Well Morgan has no right to be near that child if what Ms. Matthews says is true." he smirked.

"Yea go ahead Baldwin take Janine down to the station for her statement and when you have real proof that Janine is telling the truth or that Katie is her daughter you can come back and talk to Jason but until then leave him to his daughter." Sonny stated firmly as he nodded at Jason who lead the way to Katie's room followed by Carly and then himself.

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

"Court sweetie I think you need to go back to Jason and Katie." Levi tried. She had been telling her friend this since she found out that Courtney had just left without so much as a goodbye.

"Levi I told you I can it's...it's just not safe...if Janine and Jax are looking for me at least this way if and when they find me they won't be able to get to Katie." she explained.

"Yea but what if Janine and that Jax guy already went to your brother and Jason? How does it hel you not being there."

"Levi..." she started but was quickly interrupted bye her friend.

"No listen to me. You said that Janine took Katie from the hospital claiming that you were a surrogate right?" she asked waiting until she received a nod. "So what happens if Janine and Jax stubble across Katie and Jason and claim that you were a surrogate? Who's to say that you weren't?" Levi tried to get her friend to see the risk of staying away.

"Levi you don't get it. He didn't want me in the first place...Ok he...he...broke up with me for my brother pretty much. I knew he wouldn't turn away his own child and I used that to keep my daughter safe. He doesn't want me nor does he need me he has a girlfriend who I am quite sure can take care of both of them...I don't want his pity either I chose already that my daughter being safe was more important than my own selfish need to be a mother." she yelled throwing her hands in the air.

"Courtney who's to say that you or they are better off if you don't go back? Hmmm" she asked and waited for a response when she didn't get one she continued. "Court your baby needs you, you are her mother no one else..."

"But..." she tried to interrupt.

"No as much as a screw up that Janine was and stil is you needed her growing up no matter what she was your MOTHER! She made you who you are..."

"AND WHAT IS THAT? HUH LEVI! I LEFT MY BABY ON HER FATHERS DOORSTEP AND LEFT WITH OUT LOOKING BACK WHAT KIND OF A MOTHER DOES THAT MAKE ME?" she screamed at her long time friend as the tears started to fall. "Levi even if I do go back how do I know that he will let me see my baby after all I did abandon her on his doorstep without so much of a words notice."

"But Court once you explain to him..."

"Explain what? That I was naive enough to fall for some guys charm that turned into obsession? That I put myself and our child at risk? That I was to pig headed to go to him for help? Or should I explain that I was raped by my mother's husband?" she said her voice dangerously close to breaking. "Should I tell him that should I tell him that so not only does he blame me for not telling him and putting our child at risk, he can add to the top a nice cherry that im dirty!"

"Court sweetie..." Levi tried to comfort her.

"No your right I have to go back and let him know that his dirty ex. Girlfriend who ut his child in danger after not even telling him he had one wants to play house and make a perfect little family." she yelled as she slammed the door behind her.

"Courtney" she yelled storming after her. Right before she could open the door in walked David Seb and Pierre.

"Woo where you going" David asked grabbing a very distraught Levi and preventing her from going out the door.

"I...I have to go talk to her." she explained.

"Looks like you said enough." Pierre commented rather harshly as he watched Courtney turn the corner. "I'm gonna go talk to her." he informed them as he headed off. Leaving Levi with Seb and David.

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

"Hey baby." Jason said softly as he softly shut the door to his daughter's room and slowly and quietly made his way over to the crib that occupied the space in the middle of the room. As he stepped closer to the crib he could see the iv she had in her foot and the various machines that in one way or another were hooked to her. "How you doing angel?" he said sitting in the seat next to her crib. "I know that you probably hate having to be in here but the doctors they are going to make you all better." he kissed her little hand as he just watched her sleep. "You know you look just like your mother when you sleep so peaceful and beautiful." he laughed softly when it finally occurred to him that he was pretty much talking to himself. "I love you Katie and I'll be right here until you get all better." he said before he slowly started to drift off to sleep still holding his daughters hand.

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

"Courtney" he called softly.

She turned to see the tall dark brunette french Canadian standing by the door that led back into the casino. "Pierre" she said solemnly as she refocused her eyes on the city lights she had engrossed herself in.

"This is peaceful." he commented looking at the view of the skyline. He didn't want to say anything to upset her and possibly make her do anything to harm herself.

"Yea I used to come up here when I was a kid and just sit and look at the view and try to put all my troubles behind me." she said opening up to him.

"Is that what your doing now?" he asked

"What?" she asked unsure of what he meant.

"Putting your troubles behind you" he explained.

She looked at him astonished. "Yea I guess so."

"Did it work?" he asked as he climbed up on the ledge and sat next to her.

"No not like it ever had." she scoffed. "You know your so damn lucky... you know... your life is perfect the fame the fortune you have nothing holding you back no one complicating things."

"My lives not perfect, I have no one holding me back, yes but I also have no love in my life, other than David and Seb and chuck and Jeff I have no friends the only women I have constant in my life is basically our managers and Levi. It's not as glamourous as it looks."

"Well its more glamourous than my screwed up life." she replied.

"You wanna tell me about it?" he asked
