A/N: Ok guys sadly there are only going to be 10-15 more chapters in Any Reason! Now I know that seems like a lot and all but it's really not I'm going to be updating at least once a week if not twice from now on provided I don't get grounded or there's a nuclear bomb...if neither of those things happen expect an update I love this story and its probably my best! But it needs to end sometime...so there is one more major thing that's going to happen and a few more on edge scenes for Journey and a lot more of raising Katie and then we will land successfully at quite the event last chapter. Then I will do an epilogue where you see what's happening with Journey and Katie and all..so that's the agenda and here is your next chappy!
Chapter 21
"Hell...OH MY GOD!" she shrieked! As she stood looking into a sea of white roses.
"Delivery for a Mrs. Morgan 3 dozen white long stemmed roses freshly picked and cut to your preference!" a strong french accent flowed from somewhere behind the bouquet. "Are you Mrs. Morgan?" The tall thin man with dark brown hair asked as he moved the flowers to the side to reveal his face.
She smiled, liking the sound of that. "As a matter of fact I am!" she beamed as she accepted the large amount of beautiful white roses oh the smell!
"There's a card to, from a Mr. Jason and a Miss. Katie" the man announced as he stuck the card out for her taking.
"Oh thank you!" she laughed as the man bowed and then skipped back down the driveway getting into a green van and driving off.
She turned around to find Jason standing with his arms crossed and a devious smile on his face. "So ugh, who are those from, your boyfriend?" he asked.
"Well actually they are from my husband...well soon to be husband!" she smiled as she sniffed one of the roses.
"Ah I see, he seems like a really great guy getting you what 3 dozen roses." he commented light heartedly.
She looked at him humorously and decided to play along, so she set down the vase of 36 long stemmed white roses on the coffee table and sauntered over towards him sexily. "Well he's an extremely fabulous man..."she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck "and the card...which I haven't read yet... he even included our daughter's name on!" she smiled seductively truly touched by the gesture.
"Really he sounds great for you, you daughter hmm I bet she looks just like you!" he commented nonchalantly as he picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist.
"I happen to think she looks just like the both of us..." she whispered moving her face closer yet to his.
"She's perfect then!" he smiled before he captured her lips in a tantalizing kiss.
She pulled away for a moment "That she is!" she whispered as she then pulled him back into yet another mind blowing kiss. He started walking slowly towards the couch with her still in his arms, never breaking their connection. Again with out breaking apart he managed to lay her down on the couch placing himself on top of her. As he slid his hand up her shirt...
DING DONG
Courtney laughed as she pulled away and saw his disappointed expression. "Hey why do you look disappointed you had to of planned whoever is on the other side of that door!" she giggled as he groaned.
He smiled "Two words ...Bad Timing!"
She laughed as she pushed him off and got up, pulling her shirt back down and smoothing out the wrinkles before reaching for the doorknob. Not expecting what she found on the other side, but it brought tears to her eyes and she gasped "I, I can't believe this!" she gasped as Carly, Sonny, Michael, Morgan, Mike, and Bobbie all stood in the doorway!
"Hey Sweetie, how ya been!" Carly smiled cheerfully with he own unshed tears.
Courtney pulled Carly into a hug a very tight hug! "Oh My god I've missed you!" she cried as they clutched together.
"Did you miss me?" Michael asked with a smile as Courtney pulled away and bent down to her nephew.
"Of course I did!" she laughed hugging him, tightly. "Dad!" she smiled as she pulled him into a hug!
"Hey angel whatcha been up to? How's Katie?" Mike asked eagerly.
She pulled back ashamed that she had forgotten all about getting her daughter. "Oh..um.."
"Well she might be a bit cranky cause I just woke her up but I think she will be happy to see you!" Jason smiled as he walked out of the hallway carrying a seemingly very annoyed Katie who was rubbing her eyes.
Mike laughed as he went over to Jason "Hey Katie you remember grandpa?" he asked the baby rubbing her back. He smiled when the baby reached for him... "Awe that a girl!"
Courtney turned back to Sonny and immediately hugged him. Something he was clearly not expecting. "God Sonny I missed you...and I don't care anymore about everything that's happened let's just put it behind us."
Pulling back he nodded "Sure thing sis" he teased as she smiled.
After hugging Bobbie she finally took notice of the baby who, she knew was Sonny's and Carly's, little Morgan. "Oh My God this must be Morgan! Oh Sonny he's adorable!" she gasped as she looked into the carrier that Sonny was now holding.
"Yea he got his looks from Carly obviously!" he laughed as he set the carrier down and picked Morgan up handing him to Courtney.
"Oh My God he's beautiful guys!" she said as she held her nephew.
"Morgan's beautiful but Court Katie is gorgeous look at her she's gotten so big!" Carly exclaimed as the baby cooed. "Yea you know you missed me!" she smiled at Katie as she began to bounce her up and down.
An hour later they had decided that Morgan would sleep in his playpen set up in Katie's room Sonny and Carly would stay in one guestroom with Michael in the adjoining guestroom and Bobbie and Mike could each stay in their own rooms. Times like these Courtney and Jason were thankful to have so many extra rooms!
The adults had sat around the livingroom talking, after getting the kids to sleep. "So, what have you two been up to?" Carly asked with a wink.
"Carly" Jason scolded
"What!" she said defensively "You seen any good movies, you know heard any good songs?" she covered as Jason rolled his eyes.
Courtney laughed. "As if we really have time to sit down and watch movies and listen to the radio.."
"Well, I don't know!" Carly laughed. "You know Michael constantly asks about his Aunt Courtney and Uncle Jason, and god how he was eager to come see you!"
"Yea he was telling me the other day that he had to show Katie some new game boy thing or something that he had gotten." Mike added.
A shrill cry rang out.
"I think someone know's we're talking about her" Courtney laughed as she got off of Jason's lap and disappeared down the long hallway to get her daughter.
Sonny watched his sister leave the room and then turned his attention back to Jason "You know, Baldwin isn't showing any mercy on this Kidnaping thing! They have called in Feds." he warned.
"It's ridiculous!" Mike said "Anyone who looked at that little girl can tell that she's your daughter."
"Yea but the problem is those papers saying that Courtney was their surrogate or host mother or which ever it was." Bobbie added.
The room went silent again when Courtney reentered carrying Katie. She looked around it was kinda awkward to be honest. "What?" she asked when she noticed everyone was looking at her.
"Nothing" Jason said as he got up and walked over to her kissing Katie on the forehead. "Sonny, Mike and I were just going to go play a game of pool." he informed her eyeing both Sonny and Mike.
"Ok.." she said as she gave him a quick kiss and then sat on the couch with Katie snuggled into her arms. Carly and Bobbie then moved onto the couch on either side of her.
Once all three men were out of the room Carly's face burst into a smile "So dish! He asked you didn't he?" she asked eagerly.
"He what?" Courtney asked confused.
"Jason asked you to marry him." Bobbie said.
"How'd you know?" Courtney's face broke into a smile.
"Well it could be that vase full of what 2 dozen long stem white roses?"Bobbie said with a smile gesturing to the almost forgotten roses. "Oh that amazing smile that lightens your whole face" she suggested
"Oh that rock on your finger that your father and brother obviously haven't noticed!" CArly squealed excitedly. "God it's huge!" Carly exclaimed as she bent over a bit to see the ring. She would've just grabbed Courtney's hand but considering she was holding a sleeping Katie she thought it better not to.
Courtney blushed. "It's 3 dozens and, It's beautiful...I love it!" she said, propping Katie up on her shoulder so she could admire the ring Jason had given her only yesterday.
"It brings out your eyes!" Bobbie commented.
"It does?" she asked shyly biting her lip.
"Yeah it's absolutely beautiful I'm telling you, you have that poor boy whipped and Katie has that man wrapped around her little finger!" Carly smirked as she took the baby from Courtney's arms carefully as not to wake her.
Courtney and Bobbie laughed.
"How's it been going being on the run?" Mike asked as Jason set the balls in the triangle, lining them up and then handed both Mike and Sonny a pool stick.
"Well it was hard on Courtney when we left Greece, but once we got here we decided that staying to ourselves this time would be better, so we have been utilizing the backyard and we have made a few trips to the park and I think this is what I want for Katie and for Courtney to be away from the business in absolute safety."stated seriously eyeing Sonny for some sort of a reaction.
"I...I couldn't agree with you more!"Sonny stated solemnly. "That's why I think to finally settle this Bullshit kidnaping whatever and all...I think we should fake your deaths...you know get someone in there and identify you three" he suggested, before lining up his shot and knockingthe seven ball into the pocket ton the far left hand corner."That way your free...from everything including the business.." he suggested as he looked into Jason's eyes confirming what he had just said.
Jason nodded in agreement as Sonny lined up his next shot and then the doorbell rang...Sonny and Mike looked to Jason but when the caught his bewildered look Sonny and Mike ran into the livingroom and Jason ran to get Katie.
"Carly why would we want to have another baby...Katie isn't even a year old yet!" Courtney laughed as Carly threw her hands up defensively.
"I was just asking!" she laughed as the doorbell rang and all three women looked at the door.
"Gosh Jason's just full of surprises today..." Courtney giggled as she got off the couch and readjusted Katie in her arms slowly walking towards the door.
" WAIT!" Sonny exclaimed as Courtney and Carly and Bobbie all turned to look at him, clueless to what was going on..
"Sonny what's wrong?" Courtney asked innocently. "I was just getting the door..."
"Special Delivery!" A voice rang through the door as Jason came out of the hallway with Katie's diaper bag and carrier.
"Oh My God!" Carly gasped as the realization of what was going on hit her.
Courtney's eyes lit up with terror as she to finally realized what was going on, but just for a second. As the doorbell rang again Courtney quickly put Katie in her carrier as Jason pushed the china cabinet to the side, revealing a door, without a word Courtney and Jason were through the door and Sonny and Mike were pushing the China Cabinet back into place.
As the doorbell rang again Carly ran over and quickly opened it putting on a sweet smile. "Hi can I help you?"
"Oui, Tu Parles Fancois?"The man asked.
"Ugh Blue?" Carly replied confused.
"Ok then...English it is! We got an anonymous tip that there were some American Felonies staying at this address and we need to search the premises." The man said changing from French to English.
"I'm sorry Sir but we are on vacation and this is our house and I can assure you there is no one here that's a Felony so if you wouldn't mind leaving.."Carly said sweetly trying to close the door.
"I don't think you understand we have to search the house!" The man said a bit harshly.
"Well then you'll need a search warrant goodnight!" Sonny said smugly as he shut the door in the mans face ignoring the mans objections.
"That was to close!"Bobbie sighed.
"Yea but they are going to come back with a search warrant..."Mike said
"Yea that means right now we need to get going! Mike get all the pictures you can find and stash them! Carly go put something of Katie's on Morgan and put him in the crib! Bobbie anything, absolutely anything you find that is clearly Jason and COurtneys hide it NOW!" Sonny demanded as they all scurried around proofing the house for whenever they came back with a warrant!
A/N: Alright I know the ending was a tad rushed and may not of made complete sense but ask and I will try and clarify!
