Emmalee05 - Yes Courtney is very hurt by Jason's actions. But remember Jason is not the only reason Court wants to stay away.

Chapter 8

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

"You wanna tell me about it?" he asked as he rubbed her back comfortingly.

"I...after my ex. Boyfriend broke up with me I found out I was pregnant. I didn't tell him instead I skipped town, out of a fear of rejection. I met this guy who turned out to be very possessive and it didn't go well...anyways after I had my baby my mother and her boyfriend took her away claiming I had been their surrogate." she stopped to catch her breath. She had thought that maybe the short version would take off some of the pain but no such luck. "So when I got my daughter I went straight to my ex. Boyfriend and left her on his doorstep...and well... here I am."

"Wow" he sighed absorbing the information that had just been given to him.

"Yea" she laughed "Not what you bargained for right."

"No, no it's just that your life is...well colorful."he commented.

"You know I swore to myself that I would make a better life for myself than my mother had and look at me" she laughed "I gave up my child and am running from my baby to save her."

"Your doing what's best for your child that makes you a great mother." he reassured her.

"Really...Does it? cause right now I feel like my daughter could grow up and hate me because I claimed to be trying to save her." she wiped away her tears and gathered herself before finishing "I don't want to be the one who screws my child up like I was screwed up because I didn't have a father when I was growing up."

"If you don't want to stay away from them why do you?" he asked as he at her.

"Because it's what's best for everyone. You know it's better for her to have her father...he'll love her and that's something that I want her to have...I can't be selfish when it comes to her...you know I mean her needs come before mine." she sighed as she ran her hands through her hair. It was difficult to explain why she couldn't be with her daughter and the man she loved and it was even harder to try to explain with out actually saying that because of her mother she couldn't be a mother. "That's why I can't be a mother to my baby because it's not what is best for her."

"How's she doing?" Carly asked as she quietly closed the door behind her.

"Good...I mean she doesn't have a fever anymore." he said as he looked down at his little girl. "What's that?" he asked as his eyes fell on the teddy bear she was holding.

"Just a little present from her favorite Aunt Carly." she smiled as she handed it to him.

"Little?" he asked as he inspected the toy. "Carly it's three times her size...it's practically Michael's size." he commented as he put the large teddy in it's own chair.

"Oh shut up!" she laughed as she made her way over to the crib and picked up her beaming niece. "How you doing, sweety?" she smiled.

"Mr. Morgan?"

He turned to the doctor who had been monitoring his daughter. "Yea?" he said his typical tone of voice as Carly rolled her eyes.

"Her fever hasn't returned and her vitals are good. As long as she has the antiboitics we prescribed and drinks a lot of fluids she'll be as good as new in no time." the Doctor explained as he handed Jason the release forms.

"Thank you, Dr. Pelton" Carly said as she turned to face the man.

"Are you Katie's mother?" Dr. Pelton asked.

"No, no, no, no I'm not Katie's mom" she laughed as she noted Jason's bewilrdered expression. "I'm katie's Aunt"she corrected.

"Oh I'm sorry...If you don't mind me asking where is Katie's mother?" he asked politley.

"Actually I do mind."Jason stated firmly.

"Oh I'm sorry. We'll I hope you feel better Katie." he said to the little girl before quickly excusing himself from the room.

"Jase that was mean all he asked was a simple question." Carly scolded.

"Yea...one he didn't need an answer for." he said as he sighed the release forms and picked up the teddy Carly had brought. "Let's go."

"Uncle Jason" the little redhead yelled as he got up from his spot on the floor and wrapped his little arms around Jason's knees.

"Hey buddy" he said as he set the carrier on the floor and knelt down to his nephews height. "Look I brought Katie home."

"Is she all better now?" he asked as he looked at the baby who was playing with a little pink rattle.

"Yea she's ok she was just a little sick. Hey can you do me a favor?"he asked as Michael nodded his head enthusiastically. "Can you watch her while I go talk to Sonny." Michael nodded again as he ran over to his toys. Jason put the carrier on the coffee table and watched as Michael picked up one of his cars.

"This is one of my cars. When I get older I get to get my real car just like it..." Michael started to babble to the baby.

Jason laughed as he headed into the kitchen. "Hey Sonny"

"Hey where's Katie?" he asked as he continued to stir whatever was in the big black pot on the stove.

"She's in with Michael...the doctor gave her antibiotics and said to give her lots of fluids." he explained. "I'm going to go get Courtney tonight." he stated very nonchalant.

"You found her?" Sonny asked incredulously.

"Yea she's in the casino that her mother worked at when she was growing up." he explained.

"Wait! She not staying in the casino is she?"

"No she's staying with some guy named Jackson he's a security guard at the casino and has been for a while. But I am taking Katie and going to go and bring her back."

"Your taking Katie?"

"Yea she needs to see her and I need her to see Katie." he sighed "look I don't know what's going to happen but I am bringing her home and I think that bringing Katie might remind her why she should come back."

"When you leaving?" he asked

"Now" he said his voice barley above a whisper. "We should be back within a few days with any luck we'll be back tomorrow but I don't see that happening."

"Well...just make sure to take care of that baby and my sister. I'll take care of Baldwin and Janine."

"Thanks."he said solemnly as he followed Sonny back into the livingroom.

"Ok Michael say goodbye to Katie and Uncle Jason they are going to be gone for a few days." Sonny instructed his son.

"Why?" he asked his father.

"Well...do you remember your Aunt Courtney?" he asked figuring that was they best way to explain. Michael nodded "Well you see Aunt Courtney is Katie's mommy. And Jason is going to go and bring her to live with them."

"Where is she?"

"She's well she's staying with some friends. Right Now but Jason and Katie are going to bring her home."Sonny tried to explain

Michael seemed to accept the explanation and gave his uncle Jason a hug and said goodbye to Katie before turning his attention back to the matchbox cars he had previously been preoccupied with.

"Dammit!" sh yelled as she slammed the door shut behind her. Just when she thought she had put it all behind her something always got in the way, granted 99.9 of the time it was she who got in her own way but this time it was different. This time it was someone else who hadn't known the whole situation that forced her to see what she had been ignoring...the truth.

Three hours later he found himself pulling into the driveway to a big white 2 story house where he knew she was. He had finally after 3 hours arrived at the place that would forever change both he, his daughters and her life. "Well Katie it's time to see mommy." he said as he hopped out of the black Dodge Durango and retrieved his daughter.

"Go away" she yelled she really wasn't in the mood for visitors. It was probably just Levi coming to for the millionth time to tell her that she needed to go back to her baby and Jason. But she didn't understand that she just couldn't.

"Courtney it's me Jason."

She jumped off the bed surprised. Jason how the hell did he find me? she asked herself as she made her way to the door. She had already made it known that she was there and even if she didn't answer the door willingly he would probably knock it down anyways. As she opened the door she was surprised to see that Jason had brought Katie with him. It hadn't occurred to her that he would.

"I need to talk to you." he stated firmly as he walked past her into the little apartment that she shared with Jackson.

"Jason what are you doing here?" she asked as she shut the door and crossed her arms over her chest directing her eyes anywhere but at the daughter that she had given up.

"I wanna know the whole story...everything from when you found out you were pregnant to when you left Port Charles to Jax and Janine and to now." he stated firmly in a tone suggesting he wasn't going to take anything but the truth.

"You know about Janine and Jax?" she asked confused at how he found out.

"Yea I do and I know what Jax did to you and our daughter." he answered as he set Katie in Courtney's view on the coffee table in front of the suede couch.

"If you know then what's there to tell?" she asked as she felt the tears burn in her eyes.

"Your point of view what...and why the hell Janine is a hardcore believer that Katie is her daughter." he asked the question that had been burning in his head since Janine had first showed up on his doorstep.

"I...I don't know what to say..." she said as the tears started to slid down her face. She couldn't take it anymore she couldn't see him or their daughter and not feel anything. She had to get them away for their own good. She quickly grabbed the carrier and placed it in his hand. "You need to go Jason...you need to go right now!" she said as she attempted to push him to the door.

"No I am not leaving until i get some answer's Courtney. If for nothing else would you at least tell me for Katie's sake?" he pleaded as he brought the carrier up so that Courtney was looking directly into her daughters eyes.

"I...I can't...I can't do this." she stuttered before running out of the apartment herself.
