"Sonny?" Carly asked him.
"What?" He replied.
"Are you feeling okay? You usually tell me Im crazy." she replied.
"If this gets Courtney out of the house then Im in!" He finished.
Who knew raising a teenager was so hard?
"Oh thats real nice!" she replied as Stefan looked at them.
"What are we going to do?" he asked the two of them.
"I just said it! Weren't you listening?" Carly asked him.
"Im confused." Sonny said as Stefan nodded.
"I swear!" Carly said looking at the two of them.
"Let's go! Just follow me!" She replied.
"Nikolas will you just leave me alone!" She screamed at him.
"No!" He shouted back.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!" a voice said coming in the hallway.
"My babies are asleep keep it down!" The little girl said as she slammed her bedroom door.
"Courtney!" Nikolas shouted.
"What!" She screamed at him.
"Just listen to me! Its my life and if I dont want it then leave it alone!" he said calming down.
"How can I just leave it alone Nikolas?" she asked him.
"What if the tables were reversed?" she finished.
"But they arent! You cant live in what if land Courtney." He said getting closer to her.
"Nikolas just go back home! You are wasting your time here." she replied not even looking at him.
"Is that what I've been doing?" he asked her.
"Yes. I dont want to marry you." she finished looking at her floor.
"You dont mean it." he said getting closer to her.
"Thats where your wrong. I do." she said looking at him.
"Stop lying Courtney." he said looking back at her.
"I dont want to be with you so just leave!" she shouted as he just looked at her and then walked out.
She waited until she heard the front door shut before locking her bedroom door and began crying.
"Oh my god look here it is!" Carly said.
"What?" Stefan asked her.
"All Nikolas has to do is run it by parliament!" she shouted with glee.
"They are never going to go for it." Stefan answered.
"How do you know?" Carly asked.
"They are a committee with a bunch of old grumpy men who doesn't like change." Stefan said looking at her.
"Too bad! Its changing! Lets go tell them!" She said as she rushed out.
"Courtney!" Carly shouted coming through the house.
"Mmm its quiet." Sonny said looking at them.
"I swear to god I will kill her!" Sonny said as he thought they were probably doing something they shouldn't be doing.
"Okay so you stay down here and I will see." Carly said.
"Im coming!" Stefan said.
"Why?" Carly asked him.
"I have reasons." Stefan said looking at her.
"You stay with my husband now!" Carly demanded.
She walked up the steps and put her ear to the door.
She didn't hear anything so she banged on the door.
"Court!" She shouted through the door.
No answer.
She tried turning the handle but thats when she knew somebody was behind the door.
She pulled out the key that worked to all the doors and unlocked it.
"Court?" Carly said walking in.
She walked over by Courtney's bed when she saw something.
"Oh my god!" She said running over to the bed.
"Court!" Carly said trying to wake her up.
She was still breathing but not waking up.
"Sonny!" Carly screamed as she began to cry.
"Whats wrong?" Sonny said rushing in the room.
"Something is wrong with Courtney! She wont wake up but she's breathing." Carly said as she continued to cry.
"Court?" Sonny said walking over to her.
"Go to the car!" Sonny said as he picked Courtney up and carried her down the steps.
They rushed her to the hospital.
"Stay here!" the doctor order Carly, Sonny and Stefan.
"Where is Nikolas at?" Stefan asked Carly.
"I dont know." was all she could say.
Stefan tried calling Nikolas about twenty times before giving up.
"No answer?" Carly asked him as he shook his head.
"What are we going to do?" Carly asked Sonny.
"There's nothing we can do except wait here." He said looking at her.
An hour atleast past before the doctor came out.
"Are you her legal guardian?" the doctor asked Sonny.
"Well I was. She just turned 18." Sonny said back.
"Okay. I would like a word with you concerning Ms. Matthews health." he said as Sonny nodded and followed the doctor.
"Your sister at the moment is unconscience." the doctor told him.
"Is that it?" Sonny asked him.
"No Im afraid not. Something made her unconscience and we cant really figure what triggered it" he began.
"Has she been under a lot of stress lately?" the doctor asked Sonny.
"I would say its been pretty stressful." he replied.
"Okay. Thats probably what caused it." he replied.
"So she has stress problems?" Sonny asked confused.
"Its trickier then that. See stress isnt good for anybody especially somebody who is pregnant such as your sister." the doctor finished.
"She's pregnant?" Sonny asked him to make clear.
"Yeah. You seem rather shock does that mean your sister probably doesn't know either?" The doctor asked him.
"She never mentioned anything to me or my wife about it so probably not." Sonny finished.
"Well we have an iv in her right now and she should become conscience soon but we are going to keep her at least tonight and probably longer." the doctor finished.
"Okay. Do whatever you have to do." Sonny finished before walking away.
He sat down next to Carly not believing what he just heard.
"Whats wrong?" Carly asked him.
"Things just got a little more complicated." Sonny replied.
"How?" Carly asked him as Stefan just listen.
"Courtney is pregnant." Sonny said as they all sat there in shock.
"Yeah that does complicate things." Carly said leaning back.
"Now what are we going to do?" Carly asked.
"There is nothing we can do." Sonny said.
"Sonny is right. This does complicate things more." Stefan interjected.
"Oh thank god Nikolas you are home!" His grandmother said when he walked through the door.
"You have a meeting with parliament at one today so dont be late!" she said walking away.
HE just looked at her and didn't say a thing.
He got dressed for the meeting and walked into the building as they all rose.
"Are you okay sir?" his assistant asked him.
"No." was all he could respond.
"Whats wrong sir?" He asked him.
"Oh its nothing." Nikolas replied as they began the meeting.
He had a hard time focusing when somebody asked him a question.
"Im sorry what was that?" Nikolas asked him.
"What good of a king are you going to be if you arent focused!" a man shouted.
"You're right Im not focused." Nikolas said.
"And I probably never will be if I am king." he continued on.
"Does anybody in this room no what its like to love someone but get told you arent suppose to love them and you cant marry them?" Nikolas asked as the room remained silence.
"How many of you's arent married to the love of your life?" he asked as no hands were raised.
"How many of you's were forced to marry somebody you didn't love or care for and could careless if they crawled in a ditch and died?" he asked them as no hands got raised still.
"Then why make me go through it?" he asked them as it was silent still.
"I've come to a decision and Im stepping down. Im in love with somebody who isnt the girl Im suppose to marry and Im willing to let it all go for love. How many of you's would do that?" he asked them as hands rose this time.
"So who can blame me huh? Im stepping down I dont want the crown if I cant chose my own bride." Nikolas said as he walked down and out.
He walked up as the room was silent.
One of the fat bald dudes in the front stood and clapped.
One by one everybody stood and clapped in agreement.
"Nikolas where are you going!" His grandmother said walking up to him.
"I have somewhere I should be right now and here isnt it!" he said walking away.
"Are you happy?" the person asked her as she sat on the bench in the park.
"For the most part yes." She replied.
"Regret anything you have done?" they asked as they sat down beside her.
"No not really. Everything happens for a reason in life." she said looking down at the snow that had already fallen. It was winter already.
"Mmm. So for the most part what does that mean?" they asked her.
"That Im happy but I could be happier." she said with a smile.
"What about you? Do you regret any of the decisions you made in your life?" she said with a smile.
"Not one." they said back to her.
"Well thats nice to know." she said looking at them.
"I mean there are some things that I wish were different but theres nothing I can do about it." she just looked down and sunk her foot in the snow.
"Like what?" she asked a moment later.
"Like all the trouble I had to go through just to be with you and leaving you when you needed me the most." he finished.
"How would you want that different?" she asked him.
"It could've been a whole lot easier to begin with thats for sure and I shouldve stayed and fought but instead I walked away and that jeopordized your life." he answered back.
"Yeah these past couple of months have been kinda rough huh?" she said putting her hands in her pockets.
"I wouldnt have changed it for anything though." He said giving her a soft kiss.
"Me either." she replied when he pulled away as she placed her hand on her stomach that was now a bump.
"Ready to go home my queen?" he said softly to her.
"Only if you are my king." she said back with a smile before he gave her another kiss and grabbed her hand and started walking.
