Pureevil230: Hmm all very good points...guess your going to have to wait and see... evil laugh

babiiechica2oo8: No I can assure you Jason and Sonny will not be involved with the mob at any point in anyway. I know I probably should let you figure that out on your own but I think that's a huge plot thing. No Mob, you'll see why I kept the mob out in the sequel.

Aquariusfan: I'm glad you liked it! Hopefully it only gets better. The story and the writing!

Boo: See that's what I love about this story the playful banter alone is enough to satisfy you because they are just so relaxed with each other. Not saying that Journey aren't but I think taking away the mob and the stress of having Carly and Sonny right on top of them is well...I'm braggin about my own writing! Uh I'm terrible anywho go on read..

A/N: Ok something happened last September 19th which is why your just getting your update now...umm but it's bad really bad but in a way more so for you guys than anything it's good. Ugh my grandfather died after a 5 and a half year battle with Alzheimer's. Um as far as I go I'm okay I can't say it outloud without tearing up. I guess this is typical I do a lot of staring off into space and thinking about him and memories over the most random things! But it's good for you guys cause I'm really kicking myself into shape! Especially where my writing and stories come into play. If there's one thing my grandfather taught me it was to set your mind to something and do it because slackers never go far. SO point being along with numerous other things in my life I am going to start updating and finishing up all of my stories! So I guess that's it enjoy!

Chapter 16

She sighed as she rolled over stretching out like a lazy cat before opening just one eye to the intruding sun. Taking a deep breath she furrowed her brows. Slowly sitting up resting most of her arms she looked around confused. Was that bacon she smelled? And why was she just waking up at 9:30 on a Sunday morning? What the hell happened to her alarm? She rubbed the sleep out of her eye's throwing the blankets of her legs as she prepared to put her sleepy legs to work.

"No, no stay in bed" he demanded softly as he walked in carrying a tray full of food.

She laughed softly still trying to find her voice from it's sleepy hollow. Pointing to the tray with a small smile and an even smaller sheepish voice she asked. "What's that?"

A large grin spread across his face when it occurred to him that he'd done something she didn't realize what today was or even that she was apart of it...but she was and that made this morning even more special! "Breakfast" he said simply as he took a seat next to her.

She threw her comforter back over her legs and laid on her side as he set the tray next to her. She nodded before asking slyly. "And what did I do to deserve breakfast in bed?"

He shrugged. "Well it is Mother's Day" he grinned as he quietly left the room.

She had to stop and think about that one...it's Mother's Day, what does that have to do with the price of tea and china? Picking up a piece of bacon she popped it into her mouth. "That's some good bacon" she retorted aimlessly.

"Thank you" he smiled as he returned into the room carrying a delightfully smiling Kyle with him.

"Hey little man!" she smiled as she pushed the tray away making room in between her and Jason for him.

Jason sat his down on his tummy and he pushed himself onto all fours and rocked back and forth gurgling gleefully.

"He's getting so big and strong I can barely believe how fast he's growing" she smiled down at the baby as Jason beamed proudly.

"Yea it seems like just yesterday he was born and we were taking him home." their eye's connected at the memory.

"Yea" she said distractedly looking away to her tray of food for a distraction. "So what's the breakfast in bed for again?" she coughed awkwardly at the sudden silence.

"Mother's Day" he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But Jason I'm not a mother.." she started to say.

"Really? Who takes care of Kyle 24/7...when he's sick when he's tired and when he's perfectly happy?" he asked forwardly as he picked Kyle up and lied down next to he leaving Kyle to lay on his chest.

She blushed. The thought that he would be recognizing her as Kyle's mother was just so touching and thoughtfully and exactly what she wanted to be!

With his son, who was again content to doing his own form of a pushup on his fathers chest, he was able to focus his attention on her. "Courtney.." he said softly turning her face to him seeing more than a few emotions gliding over her beautiful features. "You have done so much for me and my son, when you didn't have to do anything at all! You helped me resist Aradia when she wanted to terminate the pregnancy, you held me when she left and you picked up the pieces and put us together when we got home. Now you've taken us in! Your amazing! Court.. And everything you do for him..." he smiled gesturing toward the now giggling boy who had just discovered that his father had a pocket on his shirt. "Look at him Court...yea he has my genes but he's mostly you!"

"That's not true Jason you're a wonderful father..." she interjected not willing to let him think that he had no part of his sons life.

"Yea...and you're a great mother to him...especially when you don't have to be!" he said looking up at her. "That's something special Courtney...to be a parent when you don't have to be!"

She smiled tears springing to her eyes. "Your amazing you know that!" she giggling wiping away a few tears.

"Yea well what can I say with a best friend like you I'm bound to do something right!" he smiled as she laughed which lightened not only the atmosphere but the room. Her smile was so big and bright it radiated to everything and everyone around her making her beauty that much more...gorgeous.

"Well thank you...I do appreciate that you thought of me.." she smiled sheepishly, the statement sounded stupider than she had originally thought.

"Well it's not over yet..." he smiled slyly as he pulled two small boxes from out behind him.

She giggled. "I really appreciate this I do but presents?" she giggled feeling helplessly delirious with such a contentness.

"Now, now...just open your presents, before I take them back!" he scolded playfully as he handed her a small square box.

She sighed he was so sweet. Hmm well it was small so maybe it is just a picture frame she thought as she took her time unwrapping it feeling like a little kid on her birthday. Jason looked giddy with excitement just watching her...and a twinge of nervousness!

After the blue and pink wrapping paper was off she inspected the box coming to the conclusion that it was jewelry...curiosity overcoming her she hurriedly opened the box to reveal a diamond bracelet accented with sapphire flowers every few diamonds. She gasped... "Oh my gosh...it's breath taking"

He smiled "That's a...that's my gift to you for stepping up and being a mother to Kyle when you don't have to and sticking around when you could be doing so many other things than taking care of my kid!" he laughed as she just stared in amazement at the fine work of art she held in her hands.

"It's stunning Jason...but really I can't..."

"No...I'm not taking it back this is a gift from me so you can do as you please with it I don't care if you throw it in a useless Jewelry box or sell it on E-bay but it's yours..." he smiled as her face lit up.

Wrapping her arms around him giggled... "I would never sell something you got me on E-bay!" she smiled hugging him tightly.

"Welp I hope that goes the same for my son because here's he's gift" he said with a sleek smile as he handed her an oblong box.

She looked at him skeptically before unwrapping the gift to find...a box! "Wow a box!" she smiled sarcastically as he sat up and helped Kyle into a seated position to watch the show as well.

"Open the box smartass.." he scoffed anxiously awaiting her approval for this gift as the last.

Giving him a defiant look she slowly opened the box nearly falling off the bed. It was a silver heart locket with a ruby flower and emerald leaf, diamonds encrusted the entire way around the heart and the chain was sprinkled with the occasional sapphire. "Wow" was all she could say.

"Do you like it?" he asked apprehensively as she opened the locket to a picture on the left of Kyle and one on the right of the three of them.

"Jason I love it but you really didn't have to go to all this trouble..." she started to protest. As much as she loved the jewelry she didn't want it at the expense of Jason's budget.

"No...it wasn't any trouble and Kyle picked this out himself...I'm sure he'd be offended if you declined the gift!" he said stubbornly but with a handsome grin.

"Oh he picked it out himself?" she question apprehensively. "Well in that case I guess I'm going to have to love and cherish it forever!" she smiled kissing Kyle on the forehead.

"What about me?" he pouted pathetically at his lack of a kiss!

She rolled her eyes and kissed him to on the forehead. "Better?" she asked jokingly as she pulled away.

He shook his head and brought her face down to his own capturing her lips in a heated debated that ended only in more passion. Once again the two let themselves drown in the whirlwind that only kissing the other seemed to bring on.
