Disclaimer: I don't own nada! Sorry:(
A/N: Okay its Sunday and Im updating even though I technically shouldn't be. Im sort of working at the moment. Hey I get paid okay! Anyway I was going to update yesterday but Kody Alan's birthday party so yeah no time there! Anyway hope you like it.
She picked up her cell phone and started dialing the number. No answer. It went straight to the voice mail. "Okay lets try this again." She thought as she hit the green button twice. Still no answer. She was getting frustrated by the moment. She looked over at the clock and it was only ten in the morning so knew he must be up by now. "Okay this is the last time." She said irritated because she didn't have much time and what she did have was getting wasted. It rang like all the times before except right before it hit the voice mail the other line picked up. "Hello?" They said. "Thank god you picked up. I have to see you as soon as possible. Can you meet me on the docks in twenty minutes?" She asked. "Yeah sure." He replied as they both flipped their phones shut.
She walked into the living room and saw her husband playing on the floor with the kids. "Hey honey?" She said making her way over to him. "Yes?" He said looking up at her. Him and Nathan were on the floor with Natalie. "I have to go meet somebody. Its important. I should be back in thirty minutes. An hour the latest." She said. "Okay no problem. Nathan and I are just playing with Natalie." Nikolas said back to her. "Yeah. We are trying to fix her." Nathan said which made his parents smile because after all this time he still thought she was broke. Natalie let out a giggle as well but didn't have a clue as to why as she slobbered all over the teething ring that was in her hand. "Okay love ya." Courtney said walking over to him giving him, Nathan and Natalie a quick kiss before she headed out the door.
She paced the docks waiting. She prayed he wouldn't be late but then again that wasn't like him at all either. But on the downside she didn't know him all that well now. Not like she used to anyway. She wasn't nineteen in her freshmen year of college and he wasn't twenty one. Thats when they dated for two months but called it a mutual split. Thats exactly what it was too.She was married with two kids and well he had a girlfriend and the same expression on his face as always. The dumb look. She sat down on the bench and felt somebody touch her shoulder which made her jump. "Scared you huh?" He asked sitting beside her. "Yeah. I've been jumpy lately with everything that has happened. I assumed you heard?" She asked him. "Yeah." He said quietly as he nodded his head knowing it must be hard on her.
"But enough about that whats so important?" He asked her. "Well actually thats what its about." She said. "Okay but-" he said as she cut him off. "Its your sister. I know where she's at." Jason just looked at her. "Why" he was at a lost of words. "Look I came to you as the last resort. I cant go to the cops because by the time they get there she can leave. I cant tell Nikolas because he'll say he wont do anything stupid but I don't want to take my chances. I don't want to see him once a month through a glass window. No thanks. Besides my kids need a dad. I cant tell Sonny because he'll probably kill her and tell Nikolas before so and as bad as I would like to see Emily die for what she put my family through its not right." Courtney said back to him.
Jason was more confused then ever now. "Okay. What do you want me to do then?" He asked her. "I want you to talk to your sister into turning herself in. From what I understand you were close to her. Just as close as she was to you." Courtney said. "Court" "Please Jason. You're my last hope. Besides she probably knows where Helena is and if she does and helps us get Helena then I'll drop the charges against her." Courtney said not believing this was coming out of her mouth but she wanted so badly for this whole nightmare to be over with and if this was the only way then so be it. "Wait what do you mean by us?" Jason asked her. "Did you hear anything else I said?" Courtney asked irritated. "I did but if I do this you aren't coming." Jason protested. "I have to." Courtney said.
"Look. It'll be easier if you don't okay trust me." Jason said. "Jason I need to go with you to talk to Emily. I never met Emily as Nathan's biological mother and Nikolas's ex-wife until Kelly's one night. Before then I just knew her as Natalie's doctor. Look I know this isnt going to be easy but I need to do this for my kids and I came to you for help but look" she said as she stood up and then faced him. "If you don't want to do it then fine. I'll find somebody else or I'll do it myself." She said as Jason just looked at her. He didn't mind doing it but didn't want Courtney coming either. "Fine. We have to leave soon though." Jason said back to her. "Yeah I know. We cant leave until after tomorrow though." She said. "Why?" Jason asked her. "I was thinking on the lines of tonight." He finished.
"Because tomorrow is mine and Nikolas's anniversary." She replied. "Oh I get it. Got to get some before you go huh?" Jason said making a joke. "Shut up!" She said hitting him on the arm. "Im probably getting more then you and I have two kids." She finished. "Nikolas and me put the saying that sex declines after you get married to shame." She said. "Okay thats enough. Im through with this conversation." Jason said. "Hey you brought it up." Courtney said back to him. "Yeah I know. Anyway then we leave Monday." Jason said quickly changing the subject. "Night." She finished. "Thats fine. What exactly are you going to tell Nikolas?" Jason asked. "That I have something to do for the foundation." Courtney replied. "Okay. See ya then." Jason answered. "Okay. Thanks so much by the way." Courtney said giving him a hug and then walking away as somebody watched.
She walked back into her house and heard laughter coming from the living room. "Hey mommy." Nathan said as he spotted Courtney first. "Hey baby." Courtney said back to him. "Whats so funny?" She asked as she bent down beside her husband. "Natalie just rolled over." Nikolas said. "She's been doing that though." Courtney answered. "I know but she didn't mean too and you should have seen the look on her face." Nikolas said.
"Whats wrong?" He asked knowing something was bothering Courtney. "Oh its just that Monday night I have to leave for a few days for the foundation." She said as her conscience started playing with her. She hated lying to her husband but knew this was the only way. "Okay well I guess now would be a bad time to say I have to go on a business trip Monday also for a few days." He said. "What about the kids? I can probably take Natalie with me because she'll sleep most of the time." Courtney didn't know what else to say. "I can have Lucky watch Nathan for us." Nikolas said. "You sure?" Courtney asked him. "Yeah. It'll be fine." Nikolas said giving her a kiss.
As every moment passed that day she felt more and more bad about lying to her husband but wasn't going to back out now. She had to do what she had to do.
A/N: Don't worry. Im not going to make this into a Journey story. But I did it this way because I didn't know what else to do. In the next few chapters more about them when they dated will come out but dont worry nothing major trust me. I couldnt do that to my NiCo!Anyway that person on the docks wasn't Nikolas but this will cause problems for Courtney and Nikolas just to let you know. Im mean its obvious. Anyway I hope like it and read and review I love hearing from ya!
