Fighter37: Aradia is just a bitch..there's no other way to describe her unfeeling actions toward or lack there of, to Kyle and Jason.

Tasha: I can't leave you hanging like that? Why I believe I just did!But you weren't left hanging for to long now were you?

ImJustKidding89: I'm sorry but it's just so funny that you said "I'm totally just kidding" hehe I don't know why but I was dying laughing at that for like an hour...I'm retarded sorry. My little Fluffer Nuffer! Well this chapter will sort of be fluffy but chapter 8 is a lot of fluffy goodness so just sit back relax we are getting there I promise!

Boo: Ew it's you! I'm kidding I 3 you Boo! Don't like that I left it there? Whatcha gunna do about it huh? Huh? Huh? That's what I thought! Smack hehe oh she more than deserved that!

Pureevil230: Griffin that's my best friends name! Yea I hit him in his unexplored territory today with a Gatorade bottle today hehe random hehe! I think Aradia actually believes that Jase and Kyle have a tag she's so ugh! So like my ex best friend how incredibly shallow is that!

WATTERS: hehe wow this is the first time I've ever been able to pull of a cliff hanger and this one isn't even all that exciting!

A/N: I know it hasn't been that long but I will apologize I've had a rough two weeks or so and that's why it's taken awhile! Like I said before The whole story is planned out chapter by chapter there are 41 chapters and a sequel so it's not for lack of being stuck it's for lack of not having time to focus.

Chapter 5

"About Aradia Jase..." she started, how do you tell your best friend that his girlfriend doesn't want to be apart of his or their child's life? "Jase she left" maybe that wasn't the best way to tell him...

"Left...what do you mean she left?" He asked confused as he laid his sleeping son in the hospital crib.

She sighed as she set walked over and sat next to him on the bed setting her purse behind them. "I walked into her coming off the elevator and..." she sighed looking down at Kyle she ran her hand over his forehead. How did this happen? Aradia didn't deserve such a precious baby boy. "She's gone Jase she left and she's not coming back"

"I don't understand why would she leave? How could she? What about Kyle? What about me?" he rambled as he got up and started pacing around the room.

"Jase.." she said gently, she heard his voice start to break...she had seen the tears he was fighting back, she felt the pain and confusion. Cliche as it was she and Jason through their many years of friendship had truly formed an emotional bond that connected them.

"No! Why? What? I don't, I just don't.." he stammered trying to find the words how could she leave? As far as he knew she wanted this she wanted them together as a family. What changed? His mind was full of questions that only Aradia could answer, but she wasn't around to do so.

"Jase look...I don't...I don't have any answers but Jase look, you'll be better off without her." she quickly covered her mouth that was defiantly the wrong thing to say.

"HOW! Is it good that Kyle will never have a mother?" he asked his voice a bit edgy.

"That's not what I meant Jason and you know it!" She took a deep breath. She had to stay calm this was big for him and she needed to do her best to help him get through it all. "I'm sorry Jase.." she said quietly as she put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Jase you know that I will help you with Kyle...anything you need...I'll be here for you every step of the way."

"I'm sorry..." he said rubbing his hands over his face. "I...It's just all happened so fast. I mean not only am I a father now but a single one and I'm not even out of college yet and I don't know how I'll be able to do it.." he admitted as she pulled him into a warm hug.

"It's alright I'm going to help you get through this okay?" she said pulling back slightly. "We can do this...Kyle has a wonderful father, and he knows that you love him unconditionally." she smiled as he let out a small laugh. "Kyle is YOUR son. YOU are his father and nothing is going to ever change that!"

He nodded as she stepped out of his arms walking over the crib that held her best friends baby boy. "He's so beautiful, especially when he's sleeping...he so peaceful and content." he said his voice soft and gentle as he joined her next to the crib.

"He's so pure and innocent." she commented touching Kyle's small forehead.

He smiled a the connection between Courtney and Kyle. "I need a coffee you want one?" he asked.

"Yea sure" she replied. He nodded and turned to leave the room. "Jase" she called after him, he turned around to look at her. "It's going to be alright." she smiled.

He nodded not knowing what to say...slowly he turned and walked out of the room. Coffee, that's all I need, a nice hot cup of Coffee!

"You've got one hell of a daddy kiddo!" she laughed as she wrapped her fingers around his small fist. "He already loves you so much!" she said reaching down and picking him up. "Oh you are just so precious." she sighed. "You know, it's not that your Mommy didn't want you, she's just she isn't ready to be a mommy" she honestly didn't know why she was defending Aradia's actions. "But you don't really need her do you, cause you, my sweet little godson, have an unbelievably incredible Daddy! And...me...you know I'm here for you and your Daddy if you ever need anything...remember that, I will always be here at a moments notice for either of you whenever you need it for anything." she confessed to the sleeping child.

"You know it's sad that my son who's only two and a half days old has already got a beautiful girlfriend. You two are perfect for each other."

She turned and smiled at her confidant. "Yea we do make a great couple, don't we"

"He's a little short for you isn't he?" he laughed

"Well maybe a little but he's only a mere 5 feet shorter that's not enough for a difference." she couldn't help herself as she joined him letting out her laughter.

"Your really great with him you know." he commented as she returned Kyle to his crib and he handed her, her coffee.

"What can I say he's a mini you, so cute and friendly" She smiled.

"You got the cute part right" he said in a cocky voice.

"Oh shut up" she laughed smacking him playfully on the chest. "So tomorrow they are going to release him?" she asked curiously.

"Actually, in my search for caffeine" he said gesturing to the cup of coffee in his and her hands. "I ran into Kyle's doctor and he said that if everything looks good that they'd release him."

"Define later?" she said with a raised eyebrow.

"Ugh, in an hour"

"Really? Wow so soon?" she questioned. The doctor's obviously knew what they were doing but going from tomorrow to an hour was quite the jump.

"Yea he says that keeping him longer was unnecessary considering he wasn't premature and he's in perfect health." Jason shrugged made sense to him he just wanted to be able to take his son home.

"Sounds great then!" she smiled as she sipped her coffee. An awkward silence filled the room. Looking down at her watched she gasped.

"What?" he asked hesitantly.

"Is it really 5:30 already?" she said looking up at him.

"Yea, why you have somewhere to be? A hot date perhaps?" he asked.

"Right Jase ...I haven't had a date since, well it's been a while" she laughed now quiet intrigued at the thought that she really hadn't had a date in a long time...very long time.

"Holding out for someone special?" he asked suggestively wiggling his eyebrows.

"Yea I was holding out for Kyle...now that he's here I think we will have to just go and elope right away!" she laughed as Jason scrunched up his face.

"You bring the term cradle robber to shame! Been hanging with your boy MJ much?"he asked trying to keep a straight face.

"Jason Morgan! Did you just call me Michael Jackson?" she gasped almost in shock.

"Well you know if the shoe fits you know...one would only assume!"

"I can't believe you!" she said feigning hurt. "After all these years and you have such little faith in me!" she shook her head. "Well I'll tell you something! YOU are going to pay for that one!" she said with a pointed finger in his face setting her coffee down on the small brown table next to her.

"Oh yea whatcha going to do?" he said finishing his coffee and throwing it to the trash can, missing terribly.

She laughed. "Nice Jason miss the trash can from what three centimeters away!"

"Oh Shush you!" he laughed going over to pick it up and place it into the bin. As he sat back down on the hospital bed she leaned back in her chair. "So MJ Jr. ..." he started casually.

"That's it!" she said as she launched herself from her chair.

"Whatcha going to do!" he laughed as she jumped on him and started to tickle him. He laughed uncontrollably. "You...know...I ...can't...stand...to ...be ...tickled!" he said fighting for breath and trying his hardest to get a good grip on her wrists to stop her attack. Firmly grabbing her wrists he flipped them over and then started his own attack, knowing that she wouldn't be able to flip them back over or cease his attack.

"Jaaaaassssssoooooonnnnnn!" she giggled as she fought for breath. "Stop Jase stop it!" she yelped as he tickled her relentlessly.

"Say mercy!" he demanded.

"Um I'm sorry to interrupt"

Jason jumped off of her at the sound of a woman's voice behind him. "Oh uh your not interrupting anything" he said nonchalantly as a brisk red crept into his cheeks.

Courtney had to hold back the giggles as she watched Jason redden as if he had just been caught by his mother with a girl in his room.

"I just need to check on little Kyle, take his vitals and then I'll leave you all alone" the old nurse said sweetly raising her eyebrows at Courtney. After a few minutes of inspection and silence she spoke again. "So his vitals are good and he appears to be doing very well! I'll send in the doctor." she smiled sweetly as she looked back and forth between what she took as the happy parents. Jason nodded and she turned to exit the room, but right as she reached the door she looked back. "By the way congratulations Mr. And Mrs. Morgan on your healthy, beautiful little boy." with that she turned and walked away.

Not being able to hold in her laughter any longer, she bust. "Oh MY god you look like you just got caught with your hand in the cookie jar!"

"Well Mrs. Morgan you look just as red!" he shot back with a smile.

"That's funny that she thought I was Kyle's mother much less Mrs. Morgan" she smiled

"Well I can only imagine what it looked like when she walked in." he laughed

"Yea well who's fault is that" she said jokingly.

"Don't look at me you're the one who jumped me first!" he defended himself holding his hands up in defense.

"Excuse me who called me MJ?" she said shooting him a look telling him she wasn't going to let that one go.

"Yea well who's the one planning to elope with my newborn son!" he asked placing his hands on his hips to tell her he was standing firm!

"Yea well can I help it he's quite the looker!" she smiled

"Well obviously he looks just like me, you couldn't possibly expect anything less than perfection." he smirked

"Conceded are we?" she asked tilting her head slightly to the side.

"Not at all just proud" he smiled glancing over at his son who was starting to wake, and cry.

"Awe Kyle" Courtney frowned picking up the baby, who almost instantly relaxed.

He smiled as he grabbed a bottle and handed it to Courtney who proceeded to feed him. He just couldn't shake the feeling, the great feeling he got just seeing his oldest and truest friend holding his baby. He was broken out of his reverie when he heard the doctor behind.

"Mr. Morgan" he turned to face the doctor. "So everything looks good and I see no reason you can't take Kyle home tonight" he smiled.

"Thank you very much" Courtney piped in as she stepped out from behind Jason.

"And your welcome" he smiled looking a the young blonde. "I take it you're Jason's sister?" he asked curiously

"No, actually I'm his best friend." she smiled.

"Oh well nice to meet you. Jason I'll see you in a month at Kyle's appointment. Kyle..." he started looking down to the little boy tucked safely in the crook of Courtney's arms. "You enjoy life little man" he smiled before exiting the room.

"Well he's nice" she stated when the doctor was gone.

"Yea, he is, I like him" he admitted as he picked up Kyle's carrier and diaper bag looking the room over to make sure nothing was left forgotten.

"You know I pictured what you would look like all domesticated with the diaper bag on your shoulder, but it doesn't do justice to actually seeing it, it works for you Jase" she smiled as she placed Kyle in the carrier, and place the carrier in her own hands to 'lighten his load' so to speak.

"Your cute!" he said sarcastically.

"You know I try" she smiled wickedly cutsie.

"Let's go" he laughed, he was excited to be able to take his son home. It helped to know that he had his best friend, his confidant, the person he trusted most in the world, helping him and being their for him every step of the way like he knew she would be.

"Yea let's go" she couldn't stop smiling, she imagined she would never be this happy or excited...well maybe just a twinge more had Kyle been her own, but nonetheless equally excited.

A/N: Lots of fluff!
