Switching Places
Chapter 27
Jason came through the emergency room doors barely two minutes after the ambulances arrived. Rushing over to Sonny and oddly enough AJ, he asked "Where is my wife?"
"Jason!" Called Monica, "We sent her straight to Dr. Meadows; she is with her now, follow me. AJ let me know how Georgie and Carly are."
Jason was impatiently waiting as the elevator went up to the eighth floor. "Mom how is she?"
"Jason, I'm sorry she lost the baby, Joyce is now trying to clean up the cuts. I'm sorry I understand that you two just found out yesterday. She is going to need you."
"I know, but how do I help her?" He asked looking at the woman beside him.
"Just be there, wh-when you miscarry you feel like it is your fault, no matter what anyone tells you. You are angry with yourself and others. There is the emptiness that she will feel. Just be there, most importantly let her be there for you when you feel angry."
"Why would I be angry about the baby? " All Jason could think was getting to Elizabeth but at the same time not knowing what to say or do.
"At some point you are going to blame yourself, but don't pull back from Elizabeth, whatever you do. She is going to take it as a sign that you blame her, no matter what you say." She said trying to get through to her stubborn son.
When Alexis and Mac entered the ER he heard Maxie calling out from where she was standing with Sonny and AJ. Rushing over he was told that Georgie was behind the curtain getting her cuts and bruises looked at but she would be fine. That Carly was getting treated for shock and Elizabeth was on the eighth floor since she was pregnant.
Taggert entered a few minutes later with Andy Capelli who ordered an entering Lucky Spencer back to foot patrol. "I'm here on a case, someone walked out of Kelly's without paying and I was sent after him."
Capelli thought what a perfect use for the idiot, chasing down petty thieves. Waiting for Mac to return from checking on his daughter, he suggested that since Spencer was in the middle of hot pursuit to get to it.
"What was Spencer doing here?" Asked Taggert. Listening to Capelli he saw Bobbie and asked her she had that much of a problem with people walking out without paying, since Lucky was planning on arresting someone for it.
"I am going to kill that kid." She moaned. Mike had already called wanting to know what had happened that had Jason leaving like he had, she had the nasty feeling that Lucky was up to something. Why couldn't he let this jealousy of Jason go?
Emily was waiting for word between Nik who had been here for a board meeting and Zander who had been getting sewn up in ER. As her dad and Mrs. Hardy paced up and down waiting on news, she just hoped that Elizabeth would be fine.
When her mother and Jason exited the elevator and walked towards them, the devastated look on her brother's face and the tears in her mom's eyes told the story. Without a word he walked past them and into the room where Elizabeth was asleep.
"Mr. Morgan, I'm so sorry. We tried to save the baby but the bruising was too much. We sedated her because of the pain from falling down the stairs not the miscarriage. She has some serious contusions on her back. It looks like she was trying to protect the baby and bruised her arms and legs doing so." Dr. Meadows left and headed down the hallway.
Seeing Audrey she just shook her head no, the older woman crumbled and dropped her purse never noticing as it fell open and spilled all over the floor. Monica and Alan helped the elderly woman into an empty room, while Emily just held onto Zander and Nik, knowing that the couple would blame themselves for losing their child.
Lucky came out on the sixth floor looking for Morgan, he still couldn't find the man. Seeing Amy Vining he asked if she had seen Jason, only for her to reply "No, but he might be in emergency they brought in Carly, the attending called up here to let Bobbie know.
Growling, he went back down the stairs to find out where Morgan was. Seeing that Capelli was escorting some people to the elevator he asked the nurse at the hub if she knew where Jason Morgan was?
"No, is he a patient?" She asked bored.
"No, he would be visiting a patient name Carly Corinthos."
"Mrs. Corinthos was just released to her mother. You could try her at home."
Lucky headed down to the station, Capelli with Corinthos usually meant the man was headed down to the station. Morgan would show up sooner or later. Entering the bullpen he asked the desk sergeant where Taggert and Capelli were.
"Down at GH, there was an altercation and a pregnant woman was pushed down the stairs, along with the commissioner's daughter. You need to get to class; they are waiting on you. Capelli said you were chasing a misdemeanor you can deal with the paperwork later." Actually the detective had told them to make sure that Lucky stayed at the station until Mac or he got there.
Starting to protest, Lucky was dragged off to class by his teacher who had come in looking for the missing space cadet.
Carly was trying to sit in the wheelchair but all her instincts told her to go and see Elizabeth now. Even after she had learned that she had been sedated, she just wanted to say she was sorry, that it had been her fault.
Seeing the look on Jason's face as he exited the room so that Dr. Meadows could check on the patient, she was surprised when he came over to check on her. "Carly how are you?"
"Fine, the wheelchair is legality, just like Georgie's."
"Now that we are all here, I need to have all of you explain how you came to be here." Asked a weary Mac as he helped Alexis sit down next to Carly. "Carly why don't you start."
"Okay, well, I dropped Michael off at school and came here for an appointment, then went shopping for some more presents. I called AJ because we had something to discuss, we agreed to meet at the shop since I had to get Michael from Elizabeth."
"Georgie how did you end up with being with Elizabeth?"
"We heard that Michael was going shopping for a globe for Alexis's baby, so we wanted to go to the same store."
Capelli was confused and asked "Why was Michael with Elizabeth, not Carly if he was going shopping for the baby?"
"Michael had mentioned to Jason about wanting to get Kristina a globe for Christmas like he had gotten for him years ago. Elizabeth was the one who actually picked the globe out, so my son called her and asked if she could go shopping after the half day of school today."
"Corinthos, what were you doing there?" Asked Mac.
"I was checking out the coffee shop, at least that was the plan, but when I saw Elizabeth and the kids, I stopped to talk to them."
"What happened next?"
Sonny started to answer but then was ashamed to realize that his argument with AJ had led to this mess.
"Sonny came inside where Carly and I were talking; we got into it for a few minutes. Carly stormed out, I saw Courtney leaving and realized she must have been following me again."
"Why is she following you AJ?" Asked Taggert while rubbing his eyes, Sonny's sister was a serious pain in the rear.
"She showed up at the mansion a couple of weeks ago and I tossed into her face that I have my trust fund back. Since then she has shown up repeatedly saying how she misses me and loves me. I moved out of where I was living into a new place down close to Charles Street hoping she would get the hint. Lately she had taken to showing up at my job wanting to talk or she follows me."
"What set her off, did either of you talk to her?" He asked Carly and AJ.
"No, in fact, I had no idea she was even there until I saw her leaving after Carly."
"The next thing I heard was Carly and Maxie screaming for help." Admitted AJ, "I was too busy trying to ignore Sonny to realize what was going on outside. This was my fault, I knew she was getting out of hand and Carly and I talking was probably what sent her over the edge."
"Maxie what happened outside?"
"Carly came outside and was talking to Elizabeth about the party for Jason and her. Elizabeth was walking over to throw out her cup, when I saw a blur coming towards us. Next thing I knew Courtney was shoving Carly and that sent Elizabeth over the slippery steps. Georgie had reached out to grab Elizabeth while Michael and I grabbed Carly."
"I heard Courtney saying something about Carly trying to steal her life and that she betrayed her, that she wasn't going to let the pregnant witch with a "b" steal her life."
"Are you sure she wasn't talking about Elizabeth?" Asked Capelli who recalled the mess from this summer.
"No, she said Carly's name." Said Georgie firmly.
"I'm pregnant; she must have overheard me discussing it with AJ." She said resigned to the truth coming out. "As for what happened next, I had Elizabeth by the fingers, when she slipped on some ice and went falling down the stairs along with Georgie."
"You kept saying she was pregnant, that Elizabeth was pregnant, how did you know? According to everyone else it was being kept a secret, which only Jason and Liz knew."
"I didn't for sure, but when I saw her falling, I just knew. I can't explain." She admitted to Emily.
"You were probably having flashbacks, to when AJ pushed you down the stairs during your last pregnancy," said Sonny. AJ just shook his head; the man still would not accept that he had not intentionally pushed Carly.
"Did anyone see where Courtney went?" Asked Taggert.
"Some guy who was talking to Sonny got her out of there." Said Maxie glaring at the man in question.
"Sonny what is she talking about?" Asked Jason as he tried to keep from exploding in the middle of the hospital at the two men who had been responsible for setting this whole thing off by arguing.
"RIC, Ric Lansing. He is that attorney I was telling you about." Carly raised her head, staring at Sonny and she knew she had to have Jason get rid of the man before Sonny found out he was his brother.
"We are aware of Mr. Lansing; he had connections to Luis Alcazar. Shopping around for a new attorney are you?" Asked Taggert.
"Something like that." Said Jason not wanting them to know about Sonny leaving the business until after it was done.
Jason waited until after Taggert and Capelli had left to tell Sonny to go home, that he wasn't to come back until after Courtney was in a cell. "Jason, I swear I didn't send her out of town."
"Prove it, find your sister."
Going back into Elizabeth's room, he saw that Audrey was sitting with her granddaughter. Looking up she saw the look on his face and said "Jason; you are not at fault for this. You didn't shove Elizabeth down those stairs."
"I knew that Courtney was a loose cannon, but she had left us alone, so I thought she had moved on to some thing else." He admitted bleakly thinking that if she had been anyone other than Sonny's sister he would have threatened her to keep her way from Elizabeth.
"From the sounds of it she did, she moved on to AJ. I just don't get why she thought that AJ was the father of Carly's child."
"I have no idea, can you please let my grandmother know when you let her parents know. I'm aware that they won't show up, but maybe they will make an effort this time." Said Jason.
"Jason, I'm not going to even bother calling them. Carolyn just claims Liz is acting up, she has never been a parent to her daughter and Jeff acts like he doesn't have any children."
"I don't understand that, how can he act that way?" Asked Jason as he sat down, then the irony of it hit him. After all he had walked away from his own family, but Elizabeth was nothing like the Quartermaines. "Are you sure he doesn't have a brain injury?"
Seeing the man was using his own circumstance to try and explain away Jeff's neglect, she said softly. "No, I don't think he has a brain injury, more like injured pride. From the moment she was born, Elizabeth was always Steve's favorite. It's one of the reasons I couldn't bring myself to have her here after Steve died. She reminds me so much of her grandfather; it would literarily hurt to look at her."
"I'm sorry our relationship got in the way of yours."
"Don't be, I don't like what you do, and never will, but I know that you love my granddaughter as much as she loves you. That is something that I had forgotten in my fear of losing my last piece of Steve."
"We will get through this, I won't lose her, and I just hate that I'm going to have to tell her about the baby. I'm not sure that I can." He admitted.
"You don't have to, I know." Said Elizabeth drowsily. "I knew the minute I landed at the bottom of the stairs. Grams, I need a few minutes alone with Jason. Could you keep the massive hoards away?"
"Rather full of ourselves aren't we today, how do you know there are people out there looking for you to wake up?" Asked an entering Alan trying to smile, but failing miserably. "However, you are correct there are, so I will keep them away then send in Joyce in about fifteen minutes."
Jason waited until they left, then moved close to his wife, saying "I'm sorry, I should have been with you."
"Jason could you please just hold me for now." After he had climbed up into the bed, and pulled her into his arms, she said "I knew, the moment I fell. Some part of me knew. Do you hate me?"
"Elizabeth, you did nothing wrong, no I don't hate you. I'm angry with Sonny, for arguing with AJ, AJ for the same thing. Courtney for what she did and Francis for leaving you, I know you probably told him to but his primary duty is to protect you, not stop Sonny from making a fool out of himself. I'm also angry that I didn't insist that Courtney leave town before this happened."
"Jason, I need to see Carly, I have to ask her something."
"I will try and find her, but for now I want you to let Dr. Meadows make sure you are okay, please?"
"I will can you do something for me?"
"Anything?"
"Forgive yourself; you are not the one who pushed me down the stairs. Please, I am going to need you, I don't think I can handle this if you pull away." She said softly. "Also can you find the bags I had, I place them in the truck before we went to the plaza."
"I will do you want me to bring them here?"
"Just don't let anyone get rid of them in a misguided attempt to help me."
"I love you, don't you forget that." He said as he leaned down to kiss her after getting up to go and do as she asked.
"I love you too," she said smiling as she tried to hold back the tears.
Jason let Carly know that Elizabeth needed to talk to her, after Dr. Meadows had gone into see her. Carly knew why Elizabeth wanted to see her but she could see the hurt in Emily's eyes. Walking over she sat down and said "I have been there, that is all this is about."
"I know and I hate that I'm letting it bother me." She admitted watching as her brother let Audrey know he was going to get something for Elizabeth.
"Someone needs to make sure your grandfather doesn't show up." Said Carly, "Do you think you can let Lila know what is going on without his finding out."
"Yes, I will call the house and talk to grandmother, thanks Carly." She said as she walked off to find a spot to use her cell phone.
Carly was starting to stand when she felt a pain in her side, seeing AJ pale, she said "Please get Dr. Meadows, now!"
Ten minutes later, she was back in a room, this time with monitors hooked up and a breathing mask on her. "Carly do you want me to get Sonny?"
"No, please just have AJ come in for a few minutes."
When the man entered he saw the monitors beeping and saw that Carly was watching one more intently than the others. "Are the baby and you okay?"
"Yes, what do you want to do about telling people?" She asked feeling old and tired.
"I will do whatever you want. We both know this isn't some kind of grand romance. We have come to deal with each other well, but we need honesty to get through having this baby together."
"I agree, for now, at least until after the holidays can we keep it quiet." She asked.
"Fine, I know you told Alexis or she guessed from the way she was looking at me, does anyone else know."
"Elizabeth suspects, look I need a favor, could you please let Elizabeth know that they have me in a bed. I was supposed to be sitting with her right now."
"I will do you want me to come back here?"
"No, I will be fine, could you have Emily see that Leticia let's Michael know that I am going to be staying here for the night. She was planning on spending the night at the mansion with him."
"Sure." He said as he left to see a commotion in the hallway. His brother was standing there handing a bag to Nik and asking him to make sure that Liz was told he would be right back.
"Come on Morgan, you are under arrest, your bag is evidence." Smirked Lucky as Mac returned. Maxie had rushed down the hall to get him when Lucky had shown up and started to arrest Jason.
"Cadet Spencer, what is the charge?" He asked.
"Theft of services." He answered his boss.
"What?" Said Jason astounded. Alexis who was waddling down the hall just laughed.
"Lucky hasn't Bobbie reached you yet. She told Mike to just rip up the check, that she understood why he left."
"I have just as much right to arrest him; in fact I am an owner as well." He said.
"Unless Luke has kicked the bucket, you have no rights. Lucky, what do you think you are going to do, make sure that Jason gets the death penalty for walking out on a five-dollar check? You are making a fool of yourself." Said his brother as he told him to remove the cuffs.
"No, he broke the law and has to pay the punishment." He said. Alexis saw that someone was coming to the door of Elizabeth's room and knew that there was going to be trouble.
"Jason? What is going on?" Said a pale and trembling Elizabeth as she leaned against the door.
"My idiot brother decided to arrest Jason for running out of Kelly's to get here to see you." Announced Nik.
Mac pulled out a five and tossed it at his officer saying "Here is the money for the bill, Spencer go home and seriously think about whether being a police officer is the right profession for you. Then meet me in my office first thing tomorrow morning."
Pulling out his key, Mac removed the cuffs from Jason's wrist and the man went over to pick up his wife and carry her back to bed. "What are you doing up?" He asked worried about her getting an infection.
"Dr. Meadows told me that when I felt up to it to try getting up and walking. I'm fine, I just wanted to go and see Carly. AJ came to tell me that they admitted her, which was after I heard the loud voices; he refused to help me get out of bed." She pouted. Glaring at the man standing in the corner of her hospital room.
"He was doing the right thing. He saw what was going on." With that Jason kissed her forehead and laid her back into the bed, not noticing AJ standing there watching.
Nik entered the room to hand the bag to Jason, then apologized to Elizabeth for Lucky's behavior.
Smiling slightly Elizabeth opened the bag and pulled out the bags inside. First was the Fodor's guide to Italy and Venice, followed by a soft baby blue blanket and then finally a small stuffed reindeer. Handing the reindeer to Jason, she held the blanket and asked AJ and Nik to leave.
"I bought these yesterday; I just wanted to have them with me." She said softly. "When I get out of here I want to get one of those acid free boxes to place them in."
"I will get one for you." He said picking up the small stuffed toy. "Why a reindeer?"
"I couldn't find a motorcycle, so I saw this and decided it was perfect instead. Jason, I hate that this happened, I hate Courtney more than I have ever hated another human being. More than I hate Tom Baker. Why? Why did she do this?"
"She thinks that Carly is chasing AJ and wants to keep them apart, she thinks that AJ is the father of Carly's baby." He said not looking at her, not wanting her to see how badly he wanted to kill the woman.
"I think he is as well, but I haven't had a chance to talk to Carly about it." She admitted. Seeing his surprise, she said "You and I have discussed how much he has changed. Part of that is Carly and he have made peace. I think the night Luis died, they slept together, it was a mistake but they are both moving forward. She knows that neither of them are the same self-absorbed people they were at the time of Michael's birth. They will be fine."
"I hope so. Sonny is looking for Courtney, how he deals with this determines what kind of future my friendship with him has. I have no intention of letting her get away with this."
Two hours later, Jason stepped out in the hallway when he saw a shadow on the door, seeing Johnny standing guard he asked where Francis was.
"He asked me to take over as Elizabeth's primary; he is blaming himself for this."
Jason sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, saying "He screwed up, but Elizabeth will be upset if he isn't her guard. Would you please tell him that later, for now I am going to run and get us some food while Elizabeth is sleeping? The only people you allow in the room are to be approved by Elizabeth."
"I will be here. Jason, I'm sorry for your loss."
Walking down the hallway he stopped into the chapel and holding the reindeer and pulling the paper from his pocket he cried for the child they had lost and the pain his wife was facing. Feeling a hand on his shoulder he looked around to see Alan standing there.
"I just wanted you to know if you need anything, we are here for you." With that he turned and walked away stunned at the naked emotion on his son's face and knowing that he wasn't the one who could help him through it. Calling Lila he asked his mother to come and comfort Jason for him.
When Lila arrived thirty minutes later, she rolled into the chapel and said "my poor dear, wallowing won't help. You need to talk, to me or more importantly to Elizabeth." Reaching out she took his hands, amazed at how cold they were. "Talk to me."
"I-I, it's just I have disliked people, wanted them to go away and never return, but I have never actually hated anyone. Not even AJ. I hate Courtney for what she did to us, what she took away from Elizabeth and I. Elizabeth is acting like she expected this and saying she knew even as the fall happened. She is lying to me, some part of her was still hoping that she was fine."
"That is one of the most wonderful parts of Elizabeth's soul. She is an optimist. Jason, she is not lying, at least not really. Women know, they just do. I can't explain it, but we just know when something isn't right with our child."
"How do I make this better."
"Give her time and be there, don't let her or you hide from this. It will take some time, but you will have more children. A part of you will always mourn the child you lost, but your heart will be full for the ones you have."
Alan waited until they had left, then entering prayed for his son.
Lila stopped to talk to the guard outside of Liz's room and found out she was still asleep and went to see her old friend before heading home in time to see something that made her laugh. Earlier she had threatened Edward when the man had wanted to go and see the young couple and when he had tried to sneak out anyhow; Reginald had turned him in.
Stopping outside the bedroom where she had ordered Edward to sleep until she allowed him back into their room, she gave a soft giggle as Skye was explaining to Sage that there was a perfectly good reason for her being there. That she wanted her to help her short sheet Edward's bed.
"Why?"
"First because, we are taking this comforter to GH, second because he raised his voice to Lila. That is not allowed. Now help me fold this into the shopping bag. Then sneak down and get our coats."
"I have to meet Dillon in a little bit." She said.
"I know, but first hand me that bedspread, then we can go."
Skye was carrying the shopping bag into General Hospital, ignoring the strange looks she was getting from the nurses. Seeing Monica, she hesitated then sighing asked the woman to take the blanket to Elizabeth. "When I miscarried, I just remember not being able to get warm afterwards." She admitted.
Feeling a bond for the first time with Alan's daughter, she said "I remember when I miscarried, Gail Baldwin and Jeff tried to warm me, I don't know how much good a blanket will do, but I do understand the sentiment behind it."
Skye swallowed the lump in her throat, then grasped Monica's hand, the sisterhood of being a woman finally connecting the two women who had been feuding for so long. "Let's go see if Jason and Liz are still awake."
When they started towards the room, they were interrupted by AJ who asked them to come to his mother's office. That he needed to talk to them. Carly and he had agreed that Monica would be the first to learn about the baby from him. Bobbie had been told by her daughter and had gone into shock at finding her newest grandchild's paternity.
Carly was relieved when Dr. Meadows informed her that she was going to be fine, but to still take it easy for the next few weeks. Deciding to stop and see Elizabeth, she entered the room to see Jason asleep on a chair holding his wife's hand. "Jason?"
"Are you supposed to be out of bed?"
"Yes, now why don't you go and grab some coffee. I will sit with Elizabeth for a while. I'm sure that she is more than a little worried about you."
"She wanted me to go home to sleep, I told her I couldn't sleep without her next to me." He admitted.
"Then go home and get some clothes so that you can be here with her in the morning." She said to the man who had been there for her more than once. "I think that if you go quickly you will be back before she wakes up again."
Kissing Elizabeth's soft check, Jason stopped at the door hesitating, then told Carly "Elizabeth said that AJ is more than likely your baby's father. Are you okay?"
"We are going to be fine; AJ and I are both in different places this time. Now hurry back." She said shooing him away.
Walking over she sat down in the chair he had vacated. Staring at Elizabeth, she was astonished when the younger woman finally woke up about ten minutes later and asked "Why didn't you tell me I would suffer a miscarriage?"
"Things were different, you weren't with Ric, Faith was dead, I just thought it wouldn't happen. I'm sorry, it was me that Courtney was after." She admitted.
"So Mac Scorpio said, but Carly she could have just as easily been after me, you didn't do this, she did. She will pay one way or another. I can't believe that this Ric guy helped her get away." She said shaking her head. "What is in it for him?"
"Who knows, I saw Alexis earlier, she went home with Mac and his girls."
"Are you okay? I know you were admitted twice." Asked Elizabeth.
"Yes, they said my blood pressure skyrocketed. I will be fine."
"You should be home in bed." Elizabeth stated.
"I should be here with you; you would be here for me." She stated.
"That is just one more statement I never thought I would hear Carly Corinthos say."
"If you are so worried about me, move over." She said climbing into the bed with Elizabeth, then she said "I wish this hadn't happened, if I had known there had been a chance, I would have let you know."
"I know I do know that Carly. WE have come a long way in the last sixth months. Thank you." She said softly.
"Emily told me that you sent her to check on me earlier, so thank you." Carly said hugging the woman that six months ago and six years into the future; she had finally learned to accept. Seeing the tears as the loss of the baby hit again, Carly held Elizabeth until they had both cried themselves to sleep curled around each other.
When Monica and Skye entered they saw the two women; both still dazed at what AJ had told them after making them promise to say nothing to Edward. Skye handed the blanket to Monica as they tucked it around the twosome. Monica bent down and kissed Elizabeth's forehead, recalling that at one time she might have been her daughter.
"You care about her as more than Jason's wife and Emily's friend." Stated Skye as she watched the tender moment. The two women were unaware that Carly had woken when she had felt the sudden warmth.
"If things had been better with Alan and I, we might have raised her. Her mother was someone who once worked here. Elizabeth's father was my ex-husband, and her mother was a single mother who wanted the best circumstance to raise her daughter. Not monetarily but emotionally. She had a medical problem, so she wouldn't live to see her daughter, she asked us to take Elizabeth."
"What happened?" Asked the red head still slightly jealous that her father had adopted a child and from the sounds of it planned to raise an another one after giving her us.
"Jeff found out about Elizabeth, Alan and I were having problems and he threatened to take the case to court. Then as Elizabeth grew older and started to resemble her mother and Jeff's father, he started to withdrawal from her. Then slowly his other two kids. I have always regretted that I didn't fight it more, at least until recently."
"Why?"
"Jason and her seem perfect for each other, they are opposites in many ways but at the same time, in the most basic ways they are alike deep in their souls." She said brushing the hair out of Liz's face.
Carly felt herself drifting off to sleep knowing she had a few of the answers but still wanted the rest.
When Jason entered the room, he stopped stunned, his mother was hugging Skye as they sat watching Elizabeth and Carly who were sleeping together wrapped up in a huge comforter. "Is Elizabeth okay?"
"She will be fine; she has you and her friends. Now Skye is going to drive me home, if you need anything, please call Jason."
Jason sat down and reached out to hold the hand that Elizabeth had on the outside of the blankets, thinking he was slowly coming to terms with his loss. Now he just had to help Elizabeth.
Sonny stood in the hallway watching the scene in the room, knowing Jason was not going to be happy with what had happened, but he would deal with it in the morning. Courtney was in a jail cell that was all that mattered.
Seeing AJ standing at the end, of the hall, he went over and told the man to leave, that he wasn't wanted here.
"Sonny, not that it is any of your business, but I am here to pick up my father." With that he walked way proud of himself for not rubbing it in that he was the father of Carly's child.
Sonny called Ric Lansing and asked the man to meet him at the warehouse, then headed straight there. "Thank you for convincing Courtney to turn her in. I had thought you would think to help her run."
"She wanted to, I would have helped her but my mother was pushed down the stairs while pregnant with me. The person, who did it, was never punished, I would not want that to happen to anyone else."
Ric knew that he had made the right move, he had studied Sonny and knew that he was estranged from his sister and had in fact tried to ship her out of town. Now Ric was going to play knight in shining armor to the young mob wife who had miscarried. From what he read, the only thing that Jason Morgan had going for him was that he was single-minded and good looking, turning the young wife against Sonny's enforcer should be a piece of cake.
Sonny was thinking about the future and knew that Justus was going to stay working for Jason, Alexis would not allow him to retain her services. This Lansing was a little overeager but if he were planning on getting into the mob, he would soon find out that Sonny was going to be out as of the New Year.
Then he would find out that he was going to be the lawyer of a simple restaurateur. Dismissing the man, he reminded him that as of January 2nd he was now his personnel attorney. Calling over to check on Sam, he listened to Max's report, then said "fine, but if she still refuses to go in the morning, I will come over and insist on her going.
