She woke up the next morning, took a shower and got dressed.
She went downstairs and saw Mike and Nikolas in the back corner booth talking.
"Hey." She said approaching them.
"Well good morning. Ready for work?" Nikolas asked her with a smile.
"Yes I am but I have just one request to make first." She said looking at him.
"Whats that?" He asked her.
"Well when I first came here I set myself a doctors appointment up since Im now three months and thats this morning." She finished.
"Thats fine. Just come in when you are done if you are up to it." He said looking at her.
"Thank you so much!" she exclaimed as she smiled.
"Why dont you sit down with us and eat before you go. I know that baby is hungry." Mike said scooting over.
"Okay." she said as she sat down at the table with the only two people in this town that knew she was pregnant.
They all made small talk and ate breakfast.
She didn't know why but she felt so at ease in this town.
Like she could be herself and normal something she couldn't with Jasper Jax.
She had to be the perfect housewife to him and that wasnt her.
Their was a knock on the diner door as all three heads turned to see who it was.
Mike and Nikolas saw the smile light up on her face when she realized who it was.
"Let him in already!" Mike said as she just looked at him.
She got up and unlocked the door to let him in.
"Hey!" She exclaimed.
"Hey! Good morning beautiful!" He replied just as happily wrapping his arms around her waist giving her a hug.
"We need to talk." she said looking at him.
He just looked at her.
"Its not what you think but you need to know it." She finished as he nodded his head.
"I'll be back." She said to the two men as she walked outside with Patrick.
"Okay whats up?" he asked her curiously.
"Im pregnant." she said just getting it over with.
"Im not the dad." he said looking at her.
"No shit Patrick. Im three months pregnant and I thought you should know." she said sweetly and softly.
"Why?" he asked her.
"Why what?" she asked him confused.
"Why did you think I should know?" he asked her more clearly this time.
"Because I really like you and what Im feeling is real and I didn't want to keep nothing between us." She replied.
"Me neither and the feeling is mutual." he said quietly as she just smiled at him.
"Come here." he said pulling her into a hug.
"I want to be with you if you still want to be with me." he whisper in her ear.
"I do." she responded.
"Good and I want to be here for your baby as well." he finished.
She pulled away and smiled at him.
How'd she go from an abusive relationship to dating the most gorgeous and kind man ever?
"I have a doctor's appointment today. Do you want to go with me?" She asked him.
"Only if you want me too." he said back to her.
"I do. But we have to get going its in thirty minutes. Let me say bye and tell Nikolas I will be in later." she said walking away and into the dinner.
"I am going now. I dont want to miss my appointment." She said looking at the two of them.
"Okay. I will see you later at work." Nikolas replied nodding his head.
"Okay." She said before walking out.
They went to the hospital and waited.
"You nervous?" He asked her while holding her hand.
"Just a little." she replied with a smile.
"It's okay I am here and Im sure everything is fine." he said believing it but she wasnt so sure.
"Are you Courtney?" the nurse asked.
"Yes." she replied.
"Right this way." the nurse said leading her into the room.
Today she was getting her first ultra sound done.
"Okay so how are we doing Miss. Courtney." Robin asked coming in.
She was her doctor.
"Im doing better." Courtney replied.
"Let's see how the baby is doing." Robin said spreading the cold jelly on her stomach.
"Okay." She said as she moved the thing around on her stomach.
"You hear that?" Robin asked Courtney who just nodded her head.
"Its the baby's heartbeat." Courtney squealed looking at Patrick who just smiled at her.
Robin told Courtney to avoid all stress as usual and the baby would be just fine.
"How ya feeling?" Patrick asked her.
"Im doing good. Better now that I know my baby is healthy." Courtney said with a smile.
"If you dont mind me asking where is the baby's dad?" Patrick had to get it off of his chest.
"I left him." she said looking at her stomach thinking of all the reasons why she did and how she didn't regret it.
"Was it a mutual split and did he know you were pregnant?" Patrick asked her.
"He knew I was and the split was something we both wanted and needed." she said.
It wasnt a lie.
She wanted it and he need it that was for sure.
"I'll see you later." She said as the car came to a complete stop.
"Bye." he said giving her a small kiss.
It was the first kiss that they had shared and she didn't mind it too much either.
"How was the doctors?" Nikolas asked her.
"Good. My baby is healthy." she said with a smile.
"Well thats always nice to hear." Nikolas replied.
"I take it he didn't know until today did he?" Nikolas asked her while signing a paper.
"No but he does now and thats all that matters right?" she asked him.
"Right." he responded.
She just smiled at him before going to her desk and working.
"How's everything going there?" an evil voice said on the phone.
"Splendid. Everything is too the good and she'll be all yours." the other person said back.
"Good. Thats what I want to hear. I'll be in touch. Until then you better have her on your watch twenty four seven because if anything happens to my child or Courtney it will be you Im after next." Jax said before hanging up.
After work she went back to Kelly's where she heard crying coming from across the hallway.
She knocked on the door.
She wasnt trying to be nosey but it sounded like somebody could use a friend right now.
"Yes?" the small voice said from the other side.
"Hey its me Courtney are you okay?" she asked through the door.
"You can come in." The voice said.
"Hey." Courtney said quietly.
"Hey." the voice said back.
"Im Courtney. I live well sleep across the hall." she said as the girl smiled.
"Lulu." she responded.
"You dont look a day over eighteen kid." She said sitting beside her.
"Im nineteen." Lulu responded.
"Okay well if you want why dont you tell me whats wrong." she said putting her arm around her.
"Well you see Im in love with this guy and he tells me that he loves me too but when we are together things are totally different. All we do is argue but when we are away he tells me how much he loves and misses me and not only that though but he has a girlfriend." Lulu said looking at her.
"Um well I cant tell you from experience but maybe you's shouldn't be together." Courtney said looking at her.
"I dont know what to do. We've been together for two years. He says hes only with her because of some kind of bullshit and that he wants to be with me but doesn't act like it." She finished as she stopped sobbing.
"Well most guys are assholes. I was engaged too one for an example." Courtney said looking at her.
"Really?" Lulu asked her.
"Yeah. Can you keep a secret between us?" Courtney asked her as Lulu nodded her head yes.
"Im three months pregnant and I left my fiancé because he use to hit me." Courtney told her.
Lulu wasnt exactly sure what to say too that.
"I know it comes as a shock but I did what was best for me and my baby and I can actually say my life is a lot better now." Courtney said looking at her.
"Really?" Lulu asked her softly.
"Yeah and if you ever need anything just let me know and Im here for you. I never had a little sister before." she said with a smile.
"Thanks. I never had a big sister either. I have an older brother though." Lulu said looking at her.
"Really?" Courtney asked her.
"Is he cute?" she finished with a smile.
"Nikolas Cassadine." Lulu told the other blonde.
"I work for you brother." Courtney said looking at her.
"Well we dont really talk much. He was raised by our mom and I was raised by our dad and we never really got along even today we dont." she finished.
"Im sorry to hear that." Courtney said looking at her.
"No its fine. Oh god what time is it!" Lulu exclaimed.
"Six o'clock why?" Courtney asked her.
"I have to get back to work. I will talk to you later?" Lulu asked her.
"Okay." Courtney said walking out as the younger blonde followed.
She went into her room and took a short nap.
"I have the results." A man said to the older man.
"Did you look at them?" He asked back.
"No. This is something you need to do Mike." The man said handing him the envelope.
"Your right and thanks again Nikolas for all your help." Mike responded as he opened it slowly.
