Chapter 7:
It was silent after Jason said that with everyone around him. "Well?" he asked looking at Monica. "Jason, I'm sorry but I cant determine that. You have to get her to the E.R. as soon as possible." Monica said looking at him. "Okay." he said as he got up and carried Courtney over to the car and then drove off. He didnt care what anyone thought. Especially now. His number one concern was Courtney and the baby she was carrying.
Jason took her to the hospital. They were waiting for them because Monica called the hospital letting them know they were coming. Emily left and went and met Jason at the hospital. She got there a little while after he did. "Georgie?" she said asking the candy striper. "Hey Emily. What can I do for you." "I need to know hwat room Courtney Morgan is in." "Family?" she asked. "Yes. Sister in law." she said looking at the teen. "She is in room 410" "Okay. Thanks alot." Emily said as she walked to the room. After Sonny processed what had just happened him and Carly came to the hospital. He was still in shock. He didnt want to talk about it that was for sure and Carly knew this so she didnt say anything.
Courtney woke up and realized she was in the hospital. "Jase." she said as she sat up quickly. "Hey, Im here just take it easy." he said talking about the way she sat up. "Why am I here? What happened." she said. "You passed out at the church." he said grabbing herhand. "Is the baby okay?" He didnt know what to tell her because he didnt know and he knew this would break her heart if she lost the baby. "I dont know. They are running test now so they can find out." he said looking at her. She could tell he was scared. There was a knock on the door. "Come in." Jason said. "Hey." Emily said as she walked in. "How are you feeling?" she asked Courtney. "Not to good." she was worried about her baby. "Have the doctors said anything yet?" she asked Jason. "No not yet. Were waiting on the test results actually." he said looking at her. "Well I can go see when they will be ready if you want?" She told Jason. "Please?" he asked her. "Yeah. Sure. No problem. I'll be back in a few minutes." Emily said as she walked out the door to check on the results. "I take it everyone knows about the baby then?" Courtney asked Jason. "Yea. I was scared so I asked Monica." he said. "Its okay. Atleast we dont have to worry about that anymore. How did Sonny take it?" she asked. "Um. Not sure. I know he was in shock but I didnt stay around to chit chat with him about it."
"Are you feeling okay?" Jason asked her. "No. Not really. Im scared Jase." she told him. There was another knock on the door. "Come in." Jason said. It was Dr. Meadows. "Well I ave the results." she said. "Okay what is wrong?" Jason said asking before Courtney could. "She fainted due to heat exhaustion and its a good thing you got her here as soon as you did or the baby probably wouldnt have made it." she said looking at Courtney. "So my baby is okay then?" she asked. "Yes your baby is fine. Keep doing what you've been doing. The baby is healthy and besides the heat it'll do okay." "Okay. Thanks.."Courtney told Dr. Meadows. "Just remember what I said. Dont go out into the heat unless you have to and if you do drink plenty of water and I will see you in four weeks for your check up." she said as she walked out of the room. "See nothing to worry about." Jason said as he got up and kissed her on the forehead. "Your right. Now lets go because I hate hospitals especially when Im in it and Im starving." She said as she got up and put her clothes back on. "You're always hungry and dont over excert yourself either because that isnt good." Jason said as he watched his wife put her clothes and shoes back on. "I know. I just want to eat though." she said as he grabbed her hand and walked out of the room.
They went back into the lobby were they had to sign her out at. "Courtney are you okay?" Carly asked as she ran over when she seen them standing there. "Yeah. Im fine and so is the baby." Courtney told Carly. Sonny was still keeping his distance. Emily came around and started talking to Jason. "Is everything okay?" she asked. "Yeah it was just the heat and I want to thank you for everything that you did." he said "Its no problem. Im just glad her and the baby are okay." she said. "They are." "Well I've gotta go but I'll call you later." she told her brother as she walked away. "I take it Sonny's mad?" Jason said butting in to the conversation Carly and Courtney were having. "Hes not mad. I would say upset you know." "Sonny doesnt get 'upset' Carly. He is either mad or pissed." Jason responded. "Okay fine. He is furious. The marriage thing was a huge impact on him and he handle that as good as he could but I dont know if he'll be okay with this just yet." She told the two. "Well I've gotta go but I will call you tomorrow." Carly told Courtney. "Okay.I'll be waiting." Courtney said back to Carly as her and Sonny walked out of the door. "Ready to go home my dear?" Jason asked Courtney. "Ready." she said back as they walked out of the hospital and got in the car.
They got back to the penthouse after stopping at Kelly's to get something to eat. They ate their foof and cuddle on the couch and began watching a movie. "Jase?" Courtney said breaking the silence that had been going on all night. "Yea?" he siad. "If you could go back, would you still have left town with me or even married me?" she asked him. He looked at her wondering why she was asking these questions. "What makes you think I wouldnt?' he aske dher. "Well ever since Sonny became mad at you you havent had a lot to say." she said. "Its hard to explain but no I would never go back. If I had to go back I would have made my move sooner." He said kissing her on the forehead. "I love you." He said. "Love you too." She said back as she lefted her head up. She kissed him. He opened his mouth as a greeting for her tongue to go in. He lifted her up and took her upstairs.
The next day Carly came by the penthouse. "Hey Carly. What are you doing here so early?" "Well I came to talk to Jason." she said as she made her way into the house. "I guess you's figured it out that Sonny is mad and when he is he usually doesnt ask any favors from anybody thats why I am here." she said. Courtney and Jason could tell she was worried. "Whats wrong?" Jason asked her. "Its Jax." she said. "What do you mean its Jax?" Jason asked. "After Alcazar died Jax took over his territory." Carly said. "Jax doesnt do illegal business." Courtney said. "Sweetie I hate to tell you this but he does and he was doing business with Alcazar for many years." Carly said as she looked at Courtney. "Okay so whats wrong?" Jason asked. "Jax is about to start a mob war. He sent the Ruiz's up here to take out Sonny. They left a note earlier telling Sonny his family wasnt safe." Carly said. "Is everybody okay now?" Jason asked. "Yeah. Kristina is out of the country with Alexis and RIc already and Morgan, Micheal and me are leaving to go to the safe house in an hour." She said looking at her watch. "Courtney your going with them." Jason said as he went over to his desk. "What about you?" Courtney asked. "Im staying to help. Sonny needs me to help him eliminate the Ruiz's and Jax." Jason said. "Jason I dont want you going to prison for murder before our child is born." Courtney said loudly at him. "I dont care what you want." Jason screamed back at her. "Okay. Everybody just take a deep breath." Carly said. 'No." Courtney said snapping at Carly. "Fine Jason. Stay here and get killed or better yet go to prison for life. If you dont care why should I?" Courtney said as she stormed up the steps. Jason knew that yelling at Courtney hurt her.
"Court" He said as she made her way back down the steps five minutes later. She had changed clothes and had a bag with clothes in it. She walked right passed him. She didnt want to talk to him. "Courtney." She ignored him again. "Baby please look at me." He said calmly now. She turned her head and just looked at him. "Talk to me please?" he asked her. She was mad and didnt want to argue with him anymore so she just turned around and finished putting her stuff in her bag. "Carly can you excuse us ." he said.Carly just looked at him. "I'll bring Courtney over to Sonny's to meet you's. I just want to talk to her for a little bit before she leaves." Jason said. "Fine. Dont take to long though. We're leaving soon." she said as she shut the door behind her.
Jason walked over to Courtney and wrapped his arms around her waist and placed his head on her shoulder. "Baby, Im sorry for yelling at you." he said. She turned around to face him. His arms were still wrapped around her waist. "Its just that since you went with Jax and hurt him, I dont want him coming after you because I dont know what I would do if I ever lost you or our baby." He said looking at her. "I know." she said. "Im scared though." she said. He could see her eyes filling with tears. "Scared of what?' he asked her. "That I'll lose you and then I dont know what I'll do" she said as tears began flowing down her face. "Your not going to lose me I promise. Okay?" he said as she just nodded her head. "I'll do what I have to do and then I'll meet up with you at the safe house and then I promise, Im all yours after that." he said. "Okay." she replied. "I have about twenty minutes before I have to take you to Sonny's so how about we get somethings done." he said. She smiled knowing exactly what he was talking about. She leaned in to kiss him as he lefted her onto the desk.
They arrived at Sonny thirty minutes later. They got a little carried away. "Sonny?" Jason said as he walked in the house with Courtney. "Jason what are you doing here?" Sonny said not wanting to talk to his best friend. "I know whats going on and Im helping you." "Why now Jason? I've been dealing with these people since you left." Sonny shot back at him. "Im here now damnit." Jason yelled back at him. "And Im not leaving until I know my wife and child are safe." he said. Sonny just looked at him. "I know that you are mad Sonny, I do. But you are going to have to get over it. Courtney and me have or own life and the only thing we ask from you is your blessing but hey if you dont want to give us that then fine. After this is over we will leave Port Charles but until then we arent." Jason said. "Fine lets go." Sonny said as he walked passed Courtney and Jason and grabbed his gun out of his drawer. "I love you and I will call you." Jason said as he kissed Courtney on the forehead. "Be safe." she said as he walked away. "I will." he said as he walked out of the room and shut the door behind him. "Courtney you ready?" Carly asked. "Yeah." she said as she walked behind Carly.
Later that night Jason called Courtney and told her that they couldnt find Jax but once they did it would be over with and that he love her. They only talked for a minute before he had to go. That night Courtney couldnt go to sleep. She laid in her bed and cried. Carly knew she was crying so after she put the boys to bed she walked in her room. "Courtney?" Carly said. "Yeah?" Courtney answered as she wiped the tears from her face. "Listen Courtney. I know how you feel?' "Do you Carly because you seem pretty okay." Courtney said. "Look I've been where you are when I was pregnant with Morgan. Sonny and I didnt have as many complications in our marriage as you and Jason do but I was still scared." Courtney just looked at Carly. "Come here." Carly said opening her arms. "It'll be ok." she said as she hugged Courtney. "What if Jason doesnt find Jax?" Courtney asked as she was still crying. "They will sweetie. Just think the positives. Think of it like this. This is your vacation away from Jason. The only one you will have for many years because once that baby comes out it will be all about Jason, the baby and you. You wont have any free time like this and trust me he will drive you up the wall but you'll still love him." Carly said. Courtney said up on the bed. "Thanks Carly. You are the best sister-in-law anybody could ask for." Courtney said wipping her tears. "Try again. Best friend." Carly said. "Your right. Best friend. Since you are my best friend how about you go get me some chocolate ice cream, Im hungry." Courtney said. "Jason told me you like to eat. I'll be right back." Carly said as she got up and went and got the ice cream.
After she returned they ate the ice cream until they were full and Carly went to bed. Courtney had a hard time sleeping because she couldnt get the love of her life out of her head. She was scared and didnt know how to stop or even if she should.
