Summary~ Courtney is married to AJ and they have a daughter, who is one month old named Alicia. AJ is in Washington and since Courtney is being stalked Jason is staying with her.

Chapter One
AJ and Courtney's Apartment
Courtney rocked Alicia to sleep, her daughter was beautiful. Once she was asleep Courtney laid her in the tiny crib and went to check on Jason. "Is she asleep?" Courtney smiled Jason was so wonderful with Alicia. "Yeah she's sound asleep, thank you for being so great with her." "Well I had a lot of practice with Michael when he was a baby." Jason watched her, how could AJ have gotten her and that little girl, he sure as hell didn't deserve them. "Courtney maybe you should get some sleep, it was a long night." Courtney had thought about earlier, they'd come home to find the place trashed and picture of her as Daisy were everywhere. "Maybe you're right, do you need anything?" Except you Jason thought, "No i'm fine." Courtney nodded and she turned to leave, Jason started to take off his shirt and Courtney saw. "Stop it." She reprimanded herself, "You're a married woman." But she fell asleep and dreamed of Jason and raising Alicia as their own.

The next day Courtney woke up to find Alicia gone from her crib, "Alicia?" She ran out of the room and saw Alicia curled up on Jason's chest asleep. What a sight, Jason had heard her stir and he woke up. "Good morning." "Good morning to you too, did she wake up?" "Yeah she did but she didn't cry, I saw that she was awake when I went to... umm check on you." "You checked on me?" Courtney was really surprised, "I do every morning before you wake up." For some reason Courtney was beginning to think she'd married the wrong brother after all. "Well I better get ready to go to work, umm..do you want me to take her?" Jason looked at the sleeping baby, "No she's fine." Courtney smiled and walked into the bathroom to get a shower.

One Week Later
Jason had gone to see Sonny about some business stuff and Courtney was home alone, but she wasn't worried because AJ was supposed to be home soon. "Why aren't I happy that he's coming home?" She kept asking herself, but she kept coming back to the same answer.. because when he comes home Jason will leave. Courtney was in the tiny kitchen when she heard the door open, "Who's there?" There wasn't an answer, she walked out of the kitchen and saw AJ. "You're home?" AJ went to her and kissed her, "Yeah i've missed you baby." Courtney smiled, "Yeah.. I missed you too." But she hadn't...she felt bad about that but she hadn't missed her husband. "How's Ali?" That was his nickname for Alicia, Courtney didn't really like it. "She's fine, I just put her down for her nap." "Good that means we get some alone time." AJ began kissing her but she pulled away, "Actually i have to go to Kelly's to get my paycheck." AJ stepped back and she thought she saw his eyes darken, "Oh alright.. i'll stay here with Alicia." "Actually Bobbie wanted to see her, so i am taking her with me."

AJ watched her leave with Alicia, his plan hadn't worked. He'd known that his brother had been staying with her, she would want him and need him. AJ thought he would make sure of it.. he called Colmen and told him to make this next encounter good.

Chapter 2
Kelly's

Courtney walked into Kelly's holding Alicia in her arms, "Bobbie someone's here to see you." Courtney said beaming, "Oh she's beautiful! Has AJ gotten back yet?" "Yeah he just did." Courtney knew that she should be happier about that. "Oh so i guess Jason won't be staying with you anymore huh?" "Yeah we're not his burden anymore." Bobbie could've been blind and she still would've seen how much those two were in love. "You and this little angel could NEVER be a burden to him." Courtney smiled, "Courtney?" She turned to see Jason standing behind her. "Why don't I take this little one to see Aunt Carly?" Courtney nodded and handed Alicia over to her. "Jason hi. Umm... AJ's back so you don't need to take care of us anymore." Jason knew AJ had come back he'd seen him, "Well if you need me you call me anytime day or night. For any reason at all." Courtney nodded, Jason was the most wonderful man in the world. He would make some girl the happiest woman in the world, deep in her heart she wished it be her. "Thank you for everything Jason." Jason smiled and she hugged him, Jason wondered if she had any idea what that innocent gesture did to him.

Outside Kelly's
AJ watched with disgust as Courtney hugged his younger brother. He would make her pay for being unfaithful to him, now he wouldn't just stalk her he would get violent. Well he wouldn't that was what Coleman was for to rough her up a little.

He left and went back to the apartment to call Coleman.

Kelly's
Courtney took Alicia back from Bobbie, "Courtney why don't I walk you home?" "No we'll be fine besides the stalker has probably moved on." Courtney knew that AJ would hate for Jason to walk her home and she wanted to avoid any confrontations with him. Jason's cell phone rang it was Sonny telling him to come and help with Brenda, that she was making Carly crazier then normal. "Well I have to go." Courtney smiled and she and Jason stood outside of Kelly's. The rain began to fall, "Thank you again for everything." Jason smiled and kissed Alicia's little cheeks. He went to kiss Courtney's cheeks but she moved and he felt her perfect lips against his. He wrapped his arms around her and then Alicia began to talk in her own little language and Courtney pulled away. "That can't happen again." "I'm sorry Courtney.. I... have to go." He turned and left as fast as he could.

Courtney hurried to the apartment, she knew someone was following her. She opened the door and shut it, "AJ i'm home." She called he came out of the shadows. And took Alicia from her and set her in the crib. "Did you have a nice time?" Courtney nodded, "Yes i did." "You were with my brother weren't you!" He yelled at her, "What? No... well he came into Kelly's and I told him you were home that was it." "Really? You didn't hug him or touch him?" Had he been spying on her? " I thanked him for guarding me but..that was all it was." AJ didn't believe her, had he seen the kiss? No he couldn't of. "Why was holding Ali? Why was he sleeping here?" "What?" "I saw.. he was sleeping here wasn't he?" He saw? No it couldn't be, he couldn't be her stalker... or could he? "When was Jason holding Alicia?" "Last week he got up to check on you and then he picked her up and put her back to sleep." "OH MY GOD! How dare you?" Courtney wanted to scream, her husband had stalked her. "What are you yelling about?" AJ knew he was done for, he should've just kept his mouth shut. Courtney grabbed her coat and put Alicia little rain coat on her and left. "Courtney come back here! I'm sorry..i only did because i love you!" Loved her, who stalks the woman they LOVE?

Jason's penthouse
Jason had calmed down Carly and told her that Brenda was not a threat to her. Then there was a knock at the door. "Car.. " He stopped when he saw her.. she was wet and Alicia was crying and so was Courtney. "Jason.. I didn't have anywhere else to go." She cried, "It's okay come in." He took Alicia from her and calmed her down and laid her down. "Courtney what happened?" She still couldn't believe it, "AJ stalked me, he's the stalker." Jason had thought he was but he hadn't been sure, "Come here." He wrapped her in his arms and held her for as long as he could, he'd thought he'd been in love before with Robin but it was nothing like what he felt for the woman in his arms.

Chapter 3

Jason's Penthouse the next day



Courtney woke up and for a second she forgot where she was, then it all came back. AJ stalking her and coming to Jason's. Courtney got dressed and walked down the stairs and she stopped when she heard Jason's voice coming from the pool table. "Okay little girl let me show you how to play pool." Courtney saw her daughter sitting in her carrier on the corner of the pool table. Then Jason picked the little girl up, "You're beautiful just like your mommy." Courtney blushed watching them, she felt a little jealous of her daughter. "Jason?" Jason hadn't know she was awake yet. "Hey how are you feeling?" Courtney walked over and kissed her baby's head. "Much better, I am so sorry about last night." "It's alright you were scared and upset.. i'm glad you came here." Courtney smiled she was glad she had too.



Sonny's Penthouse

Sonny couldn't believe that AJ had been stalking Courtney Jason had come over early this morning and told him. "You know Carly AJ has done awful things, but stalking his own wife is a new time low." Carly was still smiling she had been ever since Jason had said Courtney had come to his place last night. They were perfect for each other and now that AJ was about to be out of the picture.



Kelly's

Elizabeth was sitting at the counter when AJ came in, "Where's my wife?" "I don't know AJ she's your wife." AJ hated Elizabeth she was so annoying worse then Carly and Bobbie. "Well she left last night and I wanted to know if she had come here." Elizabeth glared at him she didn't care where Courtney was, "Maybe she's with her lover Jason." "What are you talking about?" "Are you that stupid? She is probably with Jason." AJ didn't believer her so he walked out but he went straight to Jason's penthouse. He knew that he wasn’t allowed there, but he didn’t care he wanted his wife.



Jason’s Penthouse

Courtney showered and changed into some fresh clothes that Carly had let her borrow. Jason was busy bathing and changing Alicia, when their was a knock at the door, “I’ll get it.” She opened the door and saw AJ smiling at her. “What are you doing here?” “I’ve come to take you and our daughter home.” Jason had been coming down the stair with Alicia when Courtney had opened the door. “They’re not going anywhere with you!” He said very sternly, “AJ I want a divorce.”

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 4
Jason's Penthouse
"I'm not giving you a divorce now come home with me now, and you get your filty hands off my daughter... you stole my son and now you want my daughter!" Courtney was getting more furious by the second, "Don't you dare tell me what to do and don't talk to Jason like that!" Jason put Alicia in her carrier and walked back to the door, "Get out of my penthouse NOW!" He grabbed AJ and pushed him out, "Don't you ever come near Courtney or her daughter again... if you do it will not be a good day for you!" AJ looked at Courtney, "He's a cold blooded killer with no heart and no feelings!" Then he walked off.

"Jason i'm... sorry." Jason looked at her, "Don't apologize for him, he's not worth it." He turned his back to her and went over the pool table, "He was wrong." "What?" "AJ was wrong whe he said you were a cold blooded killer with no feelings." Courtney walked over to him and kissed his cheek, "I love how you are with Alicia and with me and Carly and Michael." Jason smiled, he wanted and needed her in his life so badly. He had to find a way to keep her here in his life. "Well I am going to see my brother about seeing if he can hurry this divorce along somehow." Jason nodded, "I'll watch Alicia for you." Courtney smiled and left.

The Docks
AJ was determined to make her his again, he wasn't going to give her a divorce. He decided to hire a PI to follow her and keeps tabs on her.

Kelly's
Elizabeth was busy working when Carly and Bobbie came in, "Mom i am telling you they are perfect for each other." "Carly i don't think Jason is going to want you meddling in his business." Carly laughed, "Of course he doesn't but he moves as slow as a turtle when it comes to these things." Bobbie laughed because she knew it was the absolute truth... "Okay darling what did you have in mind?" Carly grinned, "Well I was thinking that..."

Sonny's Penthouse
"Yeah I will get my lawyer right on it Courtney." Courtney hugged him, "Thank you so much... also I don't want AJ to have custody of Alicia at all... I just don't trust him with her." Sonny smiled, "I understand and you don't worry I will take care of everything." Courtney smiled and she walked back to Jasons.

Jason's Penthouse
Jason hadn't heard Carly come in and take Alicia, she did leave a note though.

Jason and Courtney,
Mom and I have Alicia so don't worry... you two just umm... enjoy yourselves.
Carly
Courtney laughed as Jason came downstairs, "what's going on?" "Carly and Bobbie have Alicia, ya know what? I am going to make you dinner." "You don't have to do that." "Yes I do, so go do whatever and be back here no later then 6." Jason nodded and left, what was she planning?

The phone rang as Courtney was lighting the candles, "yes Carly I am doing what you suggested, how's Alicia?" "She is fine so don't worry and have fun." Courtney laughed and she hung up. She slipped on her green dress, she and Marco had packed up all her stuff from the apartment and she was moving in. She just prayed that Jason wouldn't mind.

At 6 on the dot Jason walked in and saw her, she was gorgeous. "What's going on?" That was stupid why didn't you say how beautiful she was. Courtney was flustered that was not the reaction she'd bee going for.

Chapter 5

Jason's Penthouse
Courtney stood there, she had expected him to say she looked great. "What's wrong?" She asked him hoping that the awkward silence would very soon pass. "You just look beautiful." Courtney smiled, "but what happened to the lights and what's that smell?" Courtney's smiled faded and she turned on the lights and started blowing out the candles. "I just everything to look nice for your dinner... i'm sorry." Now Jason felt lower then a skunk, there was nothing wrong with the lights she'd wanted it to be romantic and nice. He walked up to her and stopped her from blowing out the rest of the candles. And he turned out the lights, "You look very beautiful in the candle light, it makes your eyes shine even bluer." Courtney smiled again, "thank you.. Okay sit down and i'll get the food from the kitchen."

The night had started off a little rocky but Jason was making up for it, he made her feel special and beautiful. While Courtney put the dishes away Jason put in a cd. "Courtney Matthews may I have this dance?" Courtney smiled and slipped her hand into his, "I thought you didn't like to dance." Jason smiled, "I like doing anything with you." Courtney smiled Jason always made her feel so safe. Then for some reason she got scared, "I'm sorry... i thought i could.. but I can't do this." She ran up the stairs away from him and ran into the guestroom where she cried herself to sleep, she knew that she was falling in love with him.

The next day
Courtney was so embarrsesed with herself, luckily Jason wasn't in the penthouse when she left her room. "Courtney?" Courtney was startled by Carly's voice. "Hey are you okay?" Courtney nodded, "Yeah.. I just wasn't expecting you." "Yeah sorry about that I was just bringing Alicia back. So how did it go last night?" Courtney took Alicia in her arms, "The dinner part was fine it was just afterwards." Carly saw that Courtney was upset about something and was trying very hard to hide it. "Do you want to tell me about it?" Courtney knew that Carly wasn't going to give up, "He was being so sweet and we were dancing to my favorite song... and i ran away up the stairs." "Oh sweetie i'm sorry, why did you run away?" Courtney looked down at the floor, "I was scared, because..." "Because what?" Carly almost swore it was like pulling teeth to get her to say what was wrong. "Because I'm falling in love with him." As she said that tears glistened in her eyes. "Honey, i don't see why that's a bad thing." "He doesn't love me... he will always see me as Sonny's sister or the idiot that married Jason. Or worse the stripper." Alicia got fussy so Courtney got her bottle ready for her, "Okay here you go baby."

"Courtney i've seen Jason with you and with Alicia, there's more to his feelings then what you've said." Carly's phone rang it was Sonny telling her to hurry home, "I have to go, but talk to Jason." Courtney nodded and Carly left.

Three Hours Later
Jason was still feeling bad, Courtney was afraid of him. He had spent the whole day thinking of ways to make her feel safe with him. He decided he would tell her that he cared about her a lot, but they should take things slow. When he walked in the penthouse she was asleep on the couch. "Jason?" Jason walked over to her, "I'm sorry I woke you up..are you okay?" Courtney got up and put her arms around him and kissed him, "Court... are you sure?" "Yes.. i'm very sure." Jason picked her up and carried her upstairs...

Chapter 6
Jason's Penthouse

The next morning they woke up in each other's arms, "Courtney? Are you okay?" Courtney smiled, "Yeah I am." Jason stroked her hair with his hand and kissed her forehead, "Are you sorry we did that?" Courtney sat up and pulled the sheet around her, "What? Are you?" Jason sat up, "No it's just that maybe we should take things slower." Courtney stared at him, did he regret touching her because of AJ? "Let's be honest Jason, how do you really feel about me?" She was trying not to sound as hurt as she was, "I care about you a lot.. I lo... like you and I would like us to have a relationship." Courtney got out of bed and picked up her robe, he liked her she guessed that it would just take time. "Okay i'll go make breakfast." Jason knew he'd handed that one badly, lately he couldn't do or say anything right especially around her.

Courtney was downstairs fixing breakfast, she wasn't going to let what Jason said hurt her. So what if he didn't feel about her the way she felt about him. *knock knock* Courtney pulled her robe tighter and answered the door just to see Ric smiling at her.

"Mrs. Quatermaine, I am here to see you about your divorce papers... i just need to sign right here." Since Ric had just walked in without being asked Courtney sat down at the desk with the papers, and she signed. "Also Mr. Quatermaine wants full custody of his daughter, he doesn't think you are a fit parent." "What?" "He feels that you being involved with Jason and being Sonny's sister could hurt your baby." Ric walked over to the baby swing and smiled down at Alicia. "My daughter is perfectly safe here."

Jason had heard the whole thing it was the Michael situation all over again. He saw the tears in her eyes and that made him furious, furious that AJ still had the power to hurt her. He walked back into the bedroom and called Sonny, "Yeah he wants full custody... okay... yeah Max and Marco will pick him up." AJ was going back meat cellar, and he would sign over all rights of Alicia to Courtney.

After Ric left, Jason told Courtney that he had to do something and would be home when he could.

The Docks
AJ was being carried by Max and Marco and straight for the meat cellar, where Sonny and Jason were waiting. "So you want custody of Alicia?" "She's my daughter she belongs with me not some stripping WHORE and a cold-blooded killer!" Sonny grabbed AJ by the neck and jammed up against the wall, "The next time you slander my sister will be the last time you are on this earth!" Sonny shoved AJ into a chair and put a pen in his hand.

4 hours and several time of AJ being beaten Sonny and Jason came out with the signed letter giving Courtney full custody. They knew AJ wouldn't say anything, they'd made sure of that one. Sonny met Ric at his penthouse and gave him the letter which he took to the judge to sign. Alicia was now Courtney's.

Jason's Penthouse
Jason walked in and saw Courtney feeding Alicia, "Courtney will you marry me?" Courtney hadn't even known he'd come in, "Jason? What? No i can't i'm sorry."

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 7
Jason's Penthouse
"Jason I am sorry but I can't marry you." Jason knew that his question had come out of left field, but he'd hoped she'd say yes. "Courtney please... I want you to be my wife." Courtney wanted to say yes, but it was too soon and she was scared. "Why do you want to marry me?" Jason didn't want to answer this, he'd wanted to marry her because he was in love with her. "I want to marry you because I could be a good father to Alicia and i could be a good husband to you. I could protect you." Courtney didn't know whether to cry or cuss him out or both, he really didn't love her. "Jason i'm sorry but I just can't." She ran out of the room with Alicia just as Carly came in.

"Jason what's going on?" Carly was really confused she'd thought that Jason and Courtney had worked everything out and were going to move forward. "I asked Courtney to marry me so I could protect her but she said no." Carly wanted to slap him seneseless, "YOU DID WHAT!!!!!!!" Jason was now really confused what was so bad about that? "Carly I..." "No you shut up and i'll do the talking! Do you understand me? GOOD! Did it occur to you to wait until she's ready? Did it occur to you to tell her you loved her?" Courtney was listening from the kitchen trying not to laugh Carly had backed Jason up against the wall and was jamming her finger into him.

After the episode with Carly Jason went to find Courtney, he realized why Courtney had gotten so upset. He opened the guestroom door (she'd snuck up there during the whole Carly/Jason yelling scene) he saw her sitting up in the bed reading. "Can I come in?" Courtney smiled, "Yeah please." She gestured toward the side of the bed. "About earlier.. that was stupid of me and i'm sorry. I should've waited until later when the divorce was final and..." Courtney's anger and hurt had faded and he was making it fade away even more. "Jason I would like very much for us to have a relationship, maybe we could start off slowly?" Jason smiled, "Yeah i'd like that. So Miss Matthews will you be my girlfriend?" Jason rarely ever said that, actually he'd never said that to anyone. But with her everything was different, he was different... he felt like he was better. Courtney smiled and took his hand in hers, "I would like that very much." She leaned in and kissed his lips, then he leaned her back against the bed. They fell asleep in each other's arms and everything was perfect, or so they thought.

The Docks
She stood on the docks and watched the water, she was home again and she woud have what was hers... no matter what the cost. "Ms. Scorpio the cab is here to take you to the hotel." Robin smiled and got in. Tomorrow Jason would know that she was back.



Chapter 8
Jason's Penthouse

Jason's phone rang and he got up to get it, he didn't want it to wake Courtney. "Morgan?" "Jase.. it's me Robin. I need to see you." Jason almost dropped the phone, he looked over at Courtney who was still asleep and he began walking downstairs, "Robin where are you?" Robin laughed, "I'm here in Port Charles, please meet me at the park in an hour... please." Jason said okay and then realized he was worrying for nothing, his feelings were Robin were in the past.. Courtney and Alicia were his future. He walked back up to the guestroom and kissed Courtney's head, "Jason?" "Shh.. go back to sleep.. i'll be back when i can." Courtney nodded and fell back to sleep. "I love you Courtney." He whispered knowing that she was sound asleep.

The Park
Robin saw him and smiled he was still as sexy as ever, "Jason!" She ran up and hugged him. Jason hugged her back only because it was the nice thing to do. "Robin why are you back?" "I came to see you." "Look... things are different now I've got a girlfriend and i've moved on." Robin was still smiling, "I know but you and me are meant to be together. So in time you will see that." "No Robin... i love Courtney and I would never hurt her."

Carly had taken Michael to the park early so he could play a little bit before school, only for this little guy would she get up at 5:30 a.m. to come to the park. She stood up to call Michael but she saw Jason talking to someone... it was a girl and not Courtney. Then the brunette kissed him.... Carly was about to go over there and beat some heads together when he pushed the girl away. Good job she thought to herself and she waited until he walked away and then she saw who the girl was. ROBIN.... oh that little viper. "Michael stay here with Marco mommy has to talk to someone." "Okay mom."

"Okay I don't know why you're back and personally I don't care, you leave Jason alone... he is happy and in love with a very nice girl and if you do ANYTHING to hurt her or him.... i will HURT YOU!" Robin just stood there, she'd always hated Carly. "Look why don't you just for once mind your own business." "I warned you, so you'd better stay the hell away from Jason." Then she walked off back over with Michael.

Robin stood there knowing that before summer was over Jason would be hers.

Jason's Penthouse
"Hey you're back!" Courtney was busy changing a dirty diaper.. i swear i don't know how something so stinky can come out of something so sweet. Then she laughed and tickled Alicia's tummy. "Courtney I have to tell you something...".....

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 9
Jason's Penthouse

"Jason what is it?" Jason didn't want to upset her, but she needed to know that Robin was in town. "Do you remember when I told you about my ex-girlfriend Robin?" Courtney nodded, maybe she didn't want to know about this. "She's back in town and she wants me and her to get back together." "Oh" Jason took her hands back in his, "Listen to me.. i don't want her, Courtney I want you. Yeah I loved her but that was a long time ago and what i felt for her doesn't even come close to what I feel for you." Courtney smiled, but she was still unsure.... everything was happening so fast and now with AJ and Robin problems. "Did you see her today?" Jason nodded, "and she kissed me. but I pulled away from her. It won't happen again, I only want to kiss you." Then he did and Courtney forgot all the problems until Alicia began screaming for more attention.

Kelly's
Robin was sitting at the counter talking to Eizabeth. "OH i will get him back." "I'm not so sure... he seems sickenly in love with Sonny's sister." Robin just smiled, "It doesn't matter... because he will be mine. Even if someone has to die." Then she got up and walked out.

Sonny's Penthouse
Carly had taken Michael to and now she was back, she decided to call Sonny and tell him that she was home. Then she was going to see Courtney and tell her all about the little witch Robin.

She walked across the hall and knocked loudly, "Mrs. Corinthos?" She turned around and saw Marco holding Alicia, "Yes? I need to see Courtney." Marco blushed, "Umm.. Mr. Morgan said they weren't to be disturbed and if you would take care of Alicia." Carly smiled Jason must've told Courtney about the park and he is now reassuring her. "Oh i'll be glad too." Carly smiled and walked back across the hall, once the door was shut. "Well at the rate those are going... you might have a little brother or sister before ya know it."


Chapter 10
Jason's Penthouse

Jason had gone to "take care of stuff" for Sonny and Courtney was still asleep. She tip toed through the penthouse and opened the main bedroom, where Courtney was sound asleep. Then she quietly shut the door and went to the guestroom where Alicia was. "Hey little one.. do you want to go for a little ride with me?" She lifted the baby into her arms and then left making sure the guards were still not there. Max and Marco had gone downstairs and she could get out through the basement. Wouldn't Jason and his little sleeping beauty be surprised when they found this little bundle of joy was missing?

Courtney woke up and found that Jason was gone but there was a note on the pillow.
Courtney,
Good Morning beautiful.. you looked so peaceful I didn't want to wake you. I have to take care of some business stuff for Sonny but i'll be home soon. Oh and Alicia is also still asleep, I went over to Carly's after you fell asleep last night. Please do not worry about Robin, nothing could take me away from you. I'll see you when i get home, give Alicia a kiss for me and I have one for her mother too.

Jason
Courtney smiled, he knew just what to say to make everything okay. She walked downstairs to start the coffee then she went up to get Alicia. She opened the door... "Good morning bab...Alicia?" Courtney looked in the crib.. she was gone. There was note.. maybe from Carly?
Jason,
Do you miss your precious little girl...? She is safe here with me, I love you!
Robin
Courtney screamed so loud everyone came running, Jason had been in the elevator and had heard her. Max, Marco, Sonny, Carly, and Jason were now trying to get up the stairs at the SAME time... this wasn't working too well. Carly and Max were the first ones in the room. "Courtney what is it?" Courtney was still holding the note, Jason pushed past the crowd. "She took my baby! She took my Alicia!" Courtney began sobbing. Jason took the note, and he and Sonny read it.

Some old Warehouse
Robin laid the baby down on the ground she was still wrapped in her blanket and Robin called Jason. "Jase.. it's me." "Robin where the hell is she? Where is my.. where is Alica?" He'd almost said his daughter, he wanted her to be his daughter more then anything. "She's here with me, we're waiting for you... Jason we could raise her together just you and me."

Courtney was crying in the background and Carly was trying to calm her down... Max and Marco were blaming each other and Sonny and Jason were both yelling into the phone. "Would everyone just shut the HELL up!" Carly yelled, they were giving her a headache.

"That child belongs to Courtney and if i have to kill you to get her back. I WILL!" Jason yelled, "Oh Jason you could never hurt me."

Chapter 11
Jason’s Penthouse



Courtney sat on the couch with Carly, Jason and Sonny had gone to look for Alicia. “Jason and Sonny will find her.” Courtney nodded but she was scared. What if they didn’t get to her in time? “She’s my baby… what if she needs me?” Carly put her arm around Courtney, “it’s going to be okay.” At least Carly hoped that it was, she hoped that she was right and that Sonny and Jason would get to Alicia.



Warehouse

They knew she was in here, Jason just didn’t know where. He had his gun ready he would kill Robin if he had too. Then they heard a baby’s cry, “Sonny?” Sonny nodded and pointed to the direction of where the sound had come from. They ran through the warehouse, Jason couldn’t believe Robin had done this. Maybe before Courtney they could’ve had a chance but not now… he loved Courtney more then he’d ever loved anyone. In a short time she and Alicia had become his world, and damn it NO ONE was going to take his world away.



Robin knew they were coming, but she didn’t when. She swore when she’d heard the baby cry, knowing that Sonny and Jason had probably heard it too. The baby was still crying and she couldn’t get her to stop. “Shut up you little brat!” She said harshly, then she realized when she heard Sonny running in her direction that it was too late. Robin left the baby there and ran away.



Sonny saw Alicia but no sign of Robin, he picked the baby up and she stopped crying. “Jason over here!” Jason took Alicia from Sonny, “Come on let’s take her back to Courtney.” Sonny nodded they would find and deal with Robin later



Jason’s Penthouse

“Jason! You found her!” Courtney ran down the stairs and grabbed her baby, “Oh sweetheart… are you okay baby?” “She’s fine Courtney.” She smiled at Jason and Sonny and Carly tip toed out quietly. “Thank you for finding her.” Jason brushed his lips across hers, “No one is going to hurt you or her… not while I’m here.” Jason realized they were his family.



The Docks

Robin was irritated her plan hadn’t worked, but she wasn’t through yet.



Jason’s Penthouse

Courtney watched Jason bathe Alicia her baby was smiling happily, she’d heard Sonny tell Carly before they left that they hadn’t gotten Robin. Courtney realized just how much she loved Jason when he’d brought Alicia back, and if Robin wanted to play this game then she’d play too. Only difference is she’d WIN!

Chapter 12

Sonny's Penthouse
Carly walked down the stairs and saw Sonny staring out the window. "She'd be safer some place else." "Who Courtney?" Sonny turned and nodded and walked toward his wife, "I should have Jason convince her to leave." Carly knew where this was heading, "Sonny I don..." "Wait... I said I should, she's happy with Jason and damn it he loves her and that little girl. Like they were his own, he has been more a father and husband to Courtney and that child then AJ." Carly smiled, but she was surprised that SOnny was being so calm about it all. "I'm proud of you for thinking of your sisters and jason's happiness." Sonny smiled and grabbed Carly around the waist and kissed her hard and passionate. "I love you woman." Carly laughed, "And I love you, ya big over protective, chavanistic male."

Jason's Penthouse
Jason woke up with Courtney in his arms, he listened to the baby moniter and could her Alicia's soft breathing. He'd known that Courtney had checked on her 10 or 15 times during the night making sure she was still there. "Courtney? Wake up.. you got to go to Kelly's." Courtney yawned and smiled up at him. Only he could look that GORGEOUS after just waking up she thought to herself. "Okay I know I know." She rolled out of bed and slipped on her robe and went to check on Alicia. Who was laying in bed wide awake smiling and playing with her toes. "Good morning my angel." Courtney lifted her up and kissed her tenderly. She took her downstairs and sat her in the baby swing. After breakfast she gave Alicia over to Carly and went to kelly's.

Kelly's
Courtney walked in and saw Robin sitting by herself at one of the tables. "Excuse me waitress?" Courtney turned to Robin, "What?" "Can I get another coffee?" Courtney smiled sweetly and poured the HOT coffee in Robin's lap, "That's for kissing Jason and this...is for taking my daughter." Her fist impacted with Robin's jaw so hard that Robin and the chair flew backwards. "This means war!" Courtney was sill smiling, "Then bring it on!" Jason had been watching from the window and at first he wanted to go in there but then Courtney seemed to have handled that situation really well on her own. So he decided to stay out there, and then Robin got up and staggered to the door. Courtney was quite pleased with herself, so she turned and went back to work. "Courtney?" "What?" Elizabeth was startled and now afraid of Courtney so she just walked back into the back room.

Chapter 13
Jason's Penthouse

Jason walked in smiling, Courtney hadn't known that he'd been watching her during her whole shift. He couldn't help it... she was beautiful. Courtney was everything he'd always wanted and everything that he'd always thought he didn't deserve. What would she do when she saw him get arrested for something he'd actually done? What would he do when Taggert and Scott convinced her what a monster he really was?

Courtney walked in about two hours after Jason, he was sitting on the floor with Alicia. "Jason?" Jason turned and saw her, she was his everything. "I was just helping her try and sit up... but she's still a little young." Courtney laughed, her baby was only a month old. "I think we still have a while until she starts sitting up on her own." Jason smiled and laid Alicia in the little play pen, "How was kelly's today?" Courtney had thought she'd seen him, "It was kinda dull." "Really I don't think Robin found it too dull when she got hot coffee spilled on her and then was punched so hard she flew backwards." Courtney smiled that was one of her finer moments. "And I didn't even break a nail." jason laughed and wrapped her in his arms, "You're wonderful." Then he brushed his lips against hers...*Knock Knock* If this was Carly Jason was going to kill her.

He opened the door to see Taggert and Scott, "Well well... guess what we found today?" They just decided to walk on in.. Sonny had seen them coming so now he and carly were over there as well. "Do we care?" Sonny was already annoyed. "A body... and guess who is probably the killer and the man who ordered it done." Sonny and Jason knew it was coming, "Who?" Scott smiled and Taggert pulled out the cuffs... "the two of you.. cuff em and let's go." Jason didn't want Courtney to see this, normally Carly would fight Scott and Taggert but this time... "I don't think so!" Courtney had heard enough, "Mrs. Quartermaine.. please stay out of this." "It's Ms. Matthews and I will not stay out of it... the two of you barge in here without arrest warrents and make stupid assumptions!" Jason and Sonny were stunned. "Ms. Matthews do you know who these men are?" Courtney smiled and kept jabbing her pointer into Taggert she hoped she was leaving a bruise. "Yes I do.. Sonny is Carly's husband and Michael's father and they have one on the way. He is a wonderful husband, father, and brother. And Jason is wonderful to all of them and me.. he's the man who kisses my little girl's forehead at night and bathes her. He saved me from a stalker who turned out to be my husband, also he rescued my little girl from a jealous, crazy witch!" Scott and Taggert just stood there, Carly was smiling and Sonny and Jason were in awe. "And if you take them out of this door in hand cuffs... as God as my witness you might as well take me too, because i will set the place on fire getting them out!"

Taggert was thinking that they should just check the facts a little better. "Well you two better not leave town." "We won't... instead of harrassing us go get the murderer!" Scott and Taggert both walked out. Sonny and Carly shortly left after.

"Why'd you do that?" Courtney sat down on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Because you were at Kelly's all day watching me and Sonny was at Michael ball game. You're innocent and I wasn't going to let those two imbeciles railroad the two of you." "We would've gotten out." Courtney kissed him and then pulled back, "I didn't want you to leave." Jason frowned, and looked at her." They were right though, you don't really know me or Sonny." "Jason listen to me and listen good... I know that your jobs are awful.. they are your choices to make. But you are not trading on your soul.. and I .. I love you. You could never scare me or push me away, so don't try." Jason pulled her against him, he wanted to believe that she was right. "I love you too Courtney... more then I've ever loved anyone."

Courtney knew he still needed reassurance, she was scared. But of him... but for him. All she could do was reassure him of her love and how much he meant to her and "their" daughter. Maybe not by blood.. but in every other way that counted.

Chapter 14

The Docks
Robin wasn't giving up, she would show Jason's little girlfriend who the top woman was. "Ms. Scorpio? You asked me to meet you here." Robin smiled at the dark skinned woman, "You're the mystery hit woman." The woman smiled, "Sam." "I want certain people emlinated... Sonny Corinthos, Carly Corinthos, Jason Morgan, and Courtney Matthews." "Are you sure that you know what you are doing?" Robin smiled, "Of course I do... I will pay extra but I want it done. No one makes a fool out of Robin Scorpio!" The woman nodded and they discussed their plans on the killings.

Jason's Penthouse
Jason was busy feeding Alicia, he loved this little girl so much and her mommy. "What do you think mommy would like for her birthday? It's coming up soon in a few weeks." The baby watched him intently, studying him. Alicia held onto his finger and smiled. "You're beautiful little one, I wish you were mine." Courtney was standing on the stairs listening to every word, Alicia was already his. Why didn't he see it? Her baby had never really been comfortable with AJ... only with Courtney was she relaxed and happy. Now she was with Jason and everyone else, her baby knew exactly who her daddy was. It was the man who was holding her.

Jason put Alicia in the baby swing and turned it on so it would play music. "Courtney? How long have you been there?" Courtney walked towards him, "Just long enough to fall even deeper in love with you." Jason smiled and kissed her sweet lips. "I'm glad, because that's how i felt with you last night." Courtney put her hand against his cheek, " You still I care what other people say don't you?" Jason didn't want too, but it was hard. Courtney was good and she was already becoming his whole world. "Yes." "Jason Morgan let me tell you something, if I even suspected that what they said were true i wouldn't let you near my daughter. They know the Jason Morgan that you are when you work... I know the real Jason Morgan his heart and his soul." Jason pulled her into his arms... "Thanks for everything."

Sonny's PH
Greg had told him that someone had a hit out on his whole family. He wanted to go over to Jason's but something stopped him, his sister and Jason were in love with each other. They hadn't come out and said it, but it was there. He knew when Courtney began defending them last night, Carly had told him not to worry and that he should just relax, but he was worried about Courtney. He shook his head and headed over to Jasons.

Outside the penthouses
She waited and watched, Mrs. Corinthos had come out... she was very pregnant. Sam followed her she wouldn't kill her yet.......but soon.... very soon....


Chapter 15
Jason's Penthouse

Sonny knocked once and then walked in, "Jason!" Jason came down the stairs, "What is it?" "Someone has a hit on all of us...me, you, Carly, and Courtney." "Who is it?" Sonny shook his head, "It's that mystery shooter... the one who took out Chavis." Jason knew this wasn't good, no one had ever seen this guy or heard of him. "What are we going to do?" Sonny shrugged, "I don't know we need to try and get the girls out of the country." Jason knew this wouldn't work unless they were tied up. "You know they are going to fight us and we will probably have to physically put them on the plane." Sonny knew he was right and he grinned, "Well they don't have to like it, they just have to do it." Jason laughed this one was going to going to take an act of God. "Yeah well let's hope they try and make it easy on us and them." Jason was thinking if he had to tie Courtney up and throw her over his shoulder just to keep her safe he would.

The Docks
Carly walked towards Kelly's and then she heard gunshots and saw her body guards fall to the ground dead. She reached for the phone to call Sonny but someone grabbed her from behind. She couldn't scream because a hand clamped over her mouth. She prayed that Sonny would rescue her soon.

She watched as Carly Corinthos was grabbed and taken away and she smiled... soon it would be Courtney and then Jason would be all hers.

Sonny's Penthouse
The phone rang and Sonny answered, "yeah?" "You're wife is certainly beautiful and very pregnant, how far along is she?" "Who the hell is this? Where is my wife?" Then there was complete and dead silence. Every muscle in his body tensed, the person who had touched his wife must have a death wish. He grabbed his gun and went back to Jasons.

Jason's Penthouse
Jason and Courtney were eating lunch and talking when the door flew open. "Sonny what's wrong?" "They've got Carly. Let's go Jase." Jason got up and grabbed his jacket, "Stay here." He said back to Courtney, Courtney nodded. "Please be careful, both of you." Then they were gone, Courtney knew someone would be dead soon, she just prayed that it wouldn't be Jason, Sonny, or Carly.

30 minutes after they left Courtney got into the shower, she had gotten out and was getting dressed when she heard the door open and close. "Jason?" She asked as she came out of the bathroom. Someone grabbed her and hurled her down the stairs, "it's not Jason."

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 16
Jason's Penthouse

Courtney lay at the foot of the stairs, her head and back were hurting. "Wh...what do you think you're doing he... here?" Robin just smiled, "I'm here to kill you and take what is rightfully mine.... Jason. He loves me and only me and he always has. Nothing will change that." Courtney knew it was Robin, "You...be..betrayed him." "Because he and that blonde bimbo stole AJ's child." "Aj doesn't deserve Michael or.. Alicia." "Well that doesn't matter now, because after today Jason will be MINE!" Courtney did her best to get up but it was hard, "You could kill me and he would never be yours! He doesn't take betrayel and kidnapping lightly!" Robin just laughed, then Alicia began to cry.

The Docks
Jason and Sonny searched and searched but there was no sign of Carly anywhere. They were both getting worried then Jason's cell rang. "Carly?" " No, it's Elizabeth." Jason swore, "What do you want?" "Please I am trying to help... it's Robin I know that she's at your penthouse and has probably killed Courtney and Alicia by now or at least tried too." "If you had anything..." Elizabeth was crying now, "i didn't Jason I swear." Jason hung up the phone.." I've got to get back to the penthouse... it was a trap to get us away from Courtney." Sonny nodded and they both ran back to the penthouse.

Warehouse
Carly was tied up and gagged, "You know I would think your husband and that sexy enforcer of his would've found out about the little trap by now." Carly struggled to get free, but it hurt. So she stopped fighting, she began to pray that Sonny and jason would come soon.

The penthouse
Jason and Sonny broke the door down and saw Courtney lying at the bottom of the stairs. Jason knelt beside her, "what happened?" Courtney looked up at him, "Robin... she's in the nursery with Alicia, go hurry." Jason and Sonny ran up to the nursery with their guns ready... then a shot was fired and Robin fell to the ground.

Chapter 17

Jason's Penthouse
Courtney heard the gunshot come from the baby's room and she was terrified. Surely Robin wouldn't shoot her baby... right? Courtney gathered up her strength and ran up the stairs using strength only a mother could have when her baby's in danger. She ran into the room where Sonny was holding a screaming Alicia, Courtney grabbed her from Sonny and calmed her down. Robin was lying on the floor.... dead. Jason looked at Courtney and he was afraid of her reaction, he had killed someone, a woman in front her child. "Courtney i'm sorry... I had to." Courtney pressed her lips against his, "I know... and I love you for protecting Alicia and me." Sonny was glad to see the two of them so in love. "As much as I hate to break this up we have a body to get rid of and my wife to find." They left Courtney and Alicia under the protection of Marco and went to find Carly.

The warehouse
Carly didn't know how long she'd been there, she was so hungry and she needed to eat for the baby. Carly prayed that Sonny would come in time.

Sonny and Jason reached the warehouse and realized it was the same one Robin had been keeping Alicia. They walked in slowly with their guns ready, they didn't want to take any chances at all. They saw Carly she was tied up and gagged and now blindfolded, they looked around for the other person... it was a woman. She saw them and lifted up her gun, Sonny lifted up his and Jason went to get Carly. Sam didn't see Jason, then guns went off.

Jason had already gotten to Carly and telling her that it was all going to be okay. Sonny was on his way over, but first he wanted to know who'd killed Sam.

"I did... she is a killer and a kidnapper." Both men turned to see Taggert.

Chapter 18
The Warehouse

Taggert stood with his gun still out, Sonny was now holding onto Carly telling her that everything was going to be okay. "What's going on Taggert?" Taggert walked over to Sonny and Jason, "Are you alright Mrs. C?" Carly nodded still holding onto Sonny. "She was going to kill my wife." "I know and I stopped you from killing her." "How did you know I was here?" Taggert walked with them as they left the warehouse, he'd called a coroner to come pick up the body. "I followed Sonny and Jason when I saw them come in here and then I saw you tied up and that woman with the gun pointed at you." Sonny was for the first time grateful for Taggert showing up unexpectedly. "um.. thanks taggert." Taggert nodded and left them. Jason was still worried about Courtney and the baby so he hurried back to the penthouse.

Jason's Penthouse
Courtney had put the baby down and now was soaking in the tub, lord knew she needed it. The door to the bathroom opened and she jumped. "Hey beautiful it's me." Jason walked in and knelt down beside the tub. "Hey is Carly okay?" Jason nodded and wet his hands and poured her shampoo into his hands and then proceeded to wash her hair. "Yeah she's fine and the danger is over now baby, you and Alicia are safe now." Courtney smiled and kissed him. He laid her back and began rinsing her hair, Courtney never remembered hair washing being so seductive. Although Jason made everything seductive. She sat back up and he got the towel to help her out, he lifted her out and kissed her ever so tenderly, but with so much passion and love. He lifted her into his arms and carried her into the bedroom. "I'm so glad you're okay Courtney." Courtney smiled as he laid her on the bed, and she began taking off his shirt. He kissed her lips and made a trail from her neck to her bellybutton and was about to go lower when Alicia began crying. Courtney couldn't help but laugh, "You'd better go check on her." Jason got up and buttoned his jeans and went into the nursery.

He lifted the baby into his arms and sat in the rocking chair, "you know sweetheart you've got rotten timing, just like Uncle Sonny." He laughed Alicia really didn't care what she'd interrupted. Courtney came to the door fully dressed in jeans and a blue tank top. "Is she okay?" "Yeah she just woke up and didn't want to be alone." Courtney smiled and came over and kissed her baby's head. "She just wants to be noticed." Jason laughed, "yeah maybe she's actually Carly's kid." Courtney smiled but she playfully smacked him on the arm, "Hey!" Jason laughed and she bent down and kissed him.

Sonny's Penthouse
Sonny had put Carly to bed and was now fixing dinner when he heard her scream for him. He ran up the stairs like the fires from hell were behind him, "Carly what is it?" Carly was wincing in pain, "I'm in labor." "What you're only eight months pregnant?" Carly glared at him, "tell that to the baby who wants out NOW!" Carly knew something was wrong and arguing with Sonny wasn't helping. Sonny lifted her up and called the hospital and he put her in the limo and they drove off. When they got to the hospital he called Jason and Courtney.

GH
Dr. Meadows came in and sat down next to Carly on the bed, "Mr. and Mrs. Corinthos we do have a problem. This baby wants out now, but the baby is still underdevloped. You will have to stay in the hospital for the remainder of your term, if you don't the baby will try and be born again and probably both of you will die." Carly grabbed Sonny's hand, "It's going to be okay Carly." Sonny kissed his wife's forehead as Jason and Courtney came in. "Is everything okay?" Sonny took them into the hall, "Carly will have to stay here for the rest of the term."

Carly laid in bed and prayed, she didn't want Sonny to see how scared she was. Courtney came in and sat down next to her, "Are you okay?" Carly shook her head and began to cry Courtney hugged her tightly, as Carly cried on her shoulder

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 19
General Hospital

Sonny had sat by Carly's bed all night and he was there now shoving more orange juice at her. "Sonny please no more." She pleaded. Sonny had been so worried about her and the baby, "Please drink just a little more for me and the baby." Carly smiled, "Okay only because it's good for the baby." She took sip and he gave a soft kiss on her cheek.

Jason was sitting outside in the lobby, he was thinking about the night Alicia was born. AJ had been away on business in Manhatten and Courtney had called Jason.

Flashback
Courtney awoke in pain and wet. Her contraction were already really bad and her water had broke. "Oh God not now, AJ's not here and I'm not ready." She carefully got out of bed and called the first person who came to mind. "Yeah?" "Jason it's me. I'm in labor and.. AJ's not here." Jason was already getting dressed and running out the door. "I'm on my way, just try and relax."

Jason reached her ten minutes later he had broken the speed limit and ran all the red light and stop signs. Then he called an ambulance and she went straight to the hospital.

Lying in the bed she felt better with Jason standing next to her holding her hand. "It hurts." She cried, Jason stroked her hair with his other hand. "It's gonna be okay, it's almost over now." She screamed and pushed one last time, which was followed by a tinier cry, "Your daughter Mrs. Quatermaine." The nurse laid the tiny baby on her mothers chest, and Courtney cried now tears of joy. She looked up at Jason with tears in her eyes, "Thank you for being here." Jason smiled and nodded. He had to remind himself that they were AJ's family and not his.
End Flash back

Courtney sat down beside him, "Bobbie took Michael and Alicia to the park." Jason nodded and put his arm around her. "I love you Courtney and Alicia very much." Courtney touched his face with her palm, "And we love you very very much." She kissed his lips, "Everything is going to be okay Jason." Everything was going to be okay because now she and that precious baby girl were HIS family.


Chapter~ 20
General Hospital- One month later

You could hear Carly's screams for miles and miles away. "Carly you need to calm down and relax." Carly glared at him as she pushed through another contraction. "How dare you tell me to relax? This is all your fault! When this is over i'm sleeping in Michael's room with him!" Sonny winced at the pain Carly was causing his hand. "You don't mean that sweetheart." "Damn straight I mean that!!" Jason and Courtney were in the waiting area laughing, but Jason was starting to feel bad for Sonny.

He looked over at Courtney, she was breath taking. "Courtney?" "Yes?" How was he going to do this? He didn't want to do it here, but he wasn't sure if he waited that he would do it. "I want to marry you." Courtney smiled... "Good because I want to marry you too." "Really?" Courtney tried not to laugh, "yeah really." She leaned in and kissed him lightly and he slipped the ring on her finger as he deepenend the kiss. Sonny came out holding his daughter, "Well Morgan it seems that they are busy." Courtney pulled away and saw the baby and jumped up. "Oh Sonny she's precious. How's Carly?" "She's much better." "Congratulations Sonny." Sonny was beaming from ear to ear, "thanks man." Courtney kissed his cheek and then kissed her little neice.

An hour later Courtney brought Michael in to his mommy and his little sister. Carly was sitting in bed holding little Morgan, "Mommy I thought you said you were having a boy?" Carly frowned, "Well I guess even on rare occasions mommy is wrong." Sonny was in the doorway, "Rare occasions?" Carly glared at him and then laughed. "Come here and meet your sister Morgan." Michael sat on the side of the bed with his mommy, "What if she doesn't like me? What if i'm not a good big brother?" Courtney smiled as Carly answered him, "Of course she'll like you and I bet that you'll be an AWESOME big brother!" Then Sonny came over and tickeled his son, "I've got a surprise for you at home." Michael saw his mommy smile and look at Aunt Courtney. "What is it daddy? Another sister?" Sonny and Jason both laughed, "No you'll see... it'll sleep with you tonight. Just be sure to put newspaper down."

Carly felt like crying again as Michael eyes lit up and he leaped into his daddy's arms, "A dog daddy?" Sonny held his son tight, "Not yet? It's still a puppy." Michael almost cried he was so happy. When his daddy put him down and his mommy gave the baby to Aunt Courtney he jumped on the bed into her arms. "You've been so wonderful about everything that's happened, this is mine and daddy's way of saying that we love you so very much." "I love you too mommy and no matter how big i get i'll always be your little boy." That did it, Carly burst into tears and so Courtney. Sonny was wiping his eyes claiming he and Jason both had allergies.

The Corinthos Family was now complete Sonny, Carly, Michael, and baby Morgan. And don't forget about Michael's little golden retreiver Jacey, for his best friend Jason.

Chapter 21
3 weeks Later

Jason's Penthouse
You would Carly was the one getting married, she kept running in and out of the penthouse. Courtney had tried on more dresses, if she saw one more she'd knew she'd scream. "Carly calm down! The wedding is still two months away." Carly smiled at Courtney she was in the last dress they had picked out, and it was gorgeous. It was white with spagetti straps, it had a tight bodice but then at the skirt it came out some. It was beautiful, casual since they were getting married in Kelly's, but the dress was elegant and Courtney looked like a princess. "Well this is it." Carly looked at Courtney and wrapped her arms around her, "How do you like it?" Courtney's eyes sparkled, "I love it."

Two hours later they ordered the cake and Carly ordered 500 candles, because Courtney wanted to get married by candlelight.

Sonny's Penthouse
"Are you ready?" Jason watched him feeding little Morgan with the bottle. Michael was busy playing with Jacey, and every night the little pupply curled up next to Michael where he stayed the whole night. "Yeah Sonny I love her more then anything." Sonny nodded, he'd had doubts before but what he saw in Jason's eyes now reassured him more then anything. "I know you do." Michael was the appointed Ring Bearer, which he was so happy about. They weren't going to have a flower girl because well no one was old enough. Carly is going to be the Matron of Honor and Emily will be a bridesmaid.

Jason's Penthouse
Courtney wanted this wedding to be simple, yet elegant just like her dress. The day her wedding finally came together was going to be magical, she could hardly wait to become Mrs. Jason Morgan.

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 22~
Kelly's

Courtney was working and she looked beautiful, Jason watched her through the window as he usually did. He remembered when he'd first seen her working behind that counter. He'd fallen in love right there, just to find out she was married to his pig brother. That was over now and soon she and Alicia would be his family, in his heart they already were. Just now it would be legal. That's why he wanted to get married in Kelly's, because that's when he knew that he'd fallen in love and that eventually she'd love him back.

Courtney saw him watching her, he made her feel safe. "Courtney stop dreaming and get to work." Courtney had forgotten about Elizabeth. "Yeah okay." Elizabeth continued to glare at her, "I guess you're happy." "Yeah I am, the man that i love and who loves me back asked me to be his wife, so yeah I am happy." Elizabeth just walked back over to her tables and Courtney was determined not to let anything ruin this for her.

Sonny's Penthouse
"Carly would you please sit down?" Sonny demanded as Carly ran up and down the stairs. "Well I want this to be perfect for Jason and Courtney." "This is their wedding not yours." Carly laughed, "I know but I want everything to be perfect... they've both been through so much." Sonny smiled his wife was right, but he'd never tell her that. Jason and Courtney deserved their wedding to be perfect and Jason had told Carly to do whatever Courtney wanted and she was. Although Kelly's had been all Jason's idea, he'd never been to a wedding in a cafe, but ya know there's a first time for everything.

Carly heard Morgan cry and went up to check on her, "It's okay mommy's here." Carly rocked her daughter back to sleep, she couldn't believe that Morgan was finally here. There lives were becoming complete everything was starting to turn out okay. Which scared Carly, she something bad was going to happen, she just didn't know when.

Chapter 23
Jason's Penthouse~ 2 days before the wedding

Courtney couldn't believeit was almost here, the day all her dreams would come true. She smiled at the little girl in her arms drinking her bottle. "You're getting so big. Real soon you're going to be Jason's little girl too." Courtney laughed she knew that if her daughter could talk she would tell her mommy that she already was Jason's little girl.

PCPD
"Taggert we know that Morgan kill ed her." Mac was furious. His neice had been killed by Jason Morgan, the man that she loved. "Mac we need to know all the facts before we make an arrest." Normally Taggert liked going after Morgan and Corinthos, but Morgan was getting married in two days. Taggert owed this to them, he'd finally found out the truth about Deke from Carly, she'd give him letters from Adella to Mike. She'd never mailed them, she kept them for herself because she didn't know where Mike was. It told about how Deke had beaten her and Sonny and locked Sonny in closets when he'd tried to protect his mommy. "Well then find the proof, I want Morgan on death row... and Corinthos too if we can. He was there when it happened." Then Baldwin came in and they talked about how they would soon have Morgan and Corinthos.

Jason's Penthouse
Jason walked in and found Courtney singing to little Alicia. "Hey." He said softly Courtney turned and smiled at him, which made his heart beat faster. She was his whole world and his life. "I just got done feeding her and now she is a little sleepy." Jason smiled at the sleeping figure in Courtney's arms, Alicia's little head was rested on Courtney's shoulders. "Do you want me to take her up?" Courtney started to say no, but then she realized how much he loved being the one to put Alicia down. "Yeah, I need to start dinner anyway." Jason took Alicia upstairs.

The Docks
"Sonny there's a problem, Morgan is going to be convicted for Robin's murder."

Chapter 24
Jason's Penthouse

Jason kissed the baby's head "I love you Alicia." Courtney watched from the doorway, she walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around is waist. "Come eat, dinner's ready." Jason turned and walked with her down the stairs hand in hand.

After Dinner Jason sat on the couch and opened his arms for to snuggle close to him. She fell asleep to sound of his voice reading to her. Jason stopped reading when he breathing became calm and softer and he knew she was asleep. He fell asleep imagining their life together and how no one would ever hurt her again.

The Next Day-day before the wedding
Courtney was surprised to wake up on the couch alone. "Jason?" "Sonny had to see him about some work things." Carly said walking over and sitting next to her. "Oh Okay." Carly smiled, "Now go on up and get out of your pajamas and get ready because you're getting married tomorrow and we still have a lot to do." Courtney smiled tomorrow she would finally be Mrs. Jason Morgan. "Okay let's go to Kelly's and the Cellar." She said about 30 mintues later. Carly was looking forward to it, it would just be the girls. Her, Courtney, and of course Alicia and Morgan.

Sonny's Penthouse

"Baldwin and Mac are going to charge you with Robin's murder." Jason thought about Sonny had been telling him. If he left the country he'd have to leave Courtney and they couldn't get married tomorrow. And if the left with Courtney they'd have to leave the baby behind, and he knew he couldn't leave her, she was his little girl. A one week honeymoon was one thing but leaving her for....no he wouldn't leave his little girl alone for months. "What do you want me to do?" "Tomorrow you're going to marry my little sister. After the wedding we'll decide what we'll do." Jason knew that Sonny was right. Tomorrow he would make Courtney his wife no matter what they would be a family.

PCPD
"Tomorrow commisioner after his wedding ceremony we'll take him in."

[eleganceatheart]

Chapter 25(I think)-The Wedding Day
Jason's Penthouse

Courtney, Carly, and Emily were busy getting ready. Emily did Courtney's hair and make-up, "You're gorgeous." Emily said as she finished. Courtney hugged her tightly. After all three were ready Carly went over to check on Jason, Sonny, Mike, and Michael. She walked in as Sonny and Jason and Mike were all fighting. "Hey!" Carly yelled as she slammed the door shut, the three men smiled sheepishly. Sonny walked over to her, "You look beautiful sweetheart." Carly smiled and she played with his tie, "Now i'll handle these guys and you go see your sister." Sonny smiled and he picked up the small box from the desk and walked out the door. Carly helped Michael with his tie and then turned to Jason and started crying, "what's wrong?" Carly hugged him, "It's just that love you and i'm so happy for you." Jason smiled and hugged her back, "I've never been so happy." Then Emily came in and they shared a special moment.

Sonny walked into Jason's Penthouse and up the stairs where he found Courtney dressing Alicia. "Sonny!" She said and she walked over to him, "Will you do me a favor?" Courtney asked uneasily, "Anything." "Sonny i want you and Mike to give me away today." Sonny almost got choked up, "I would be honored to be on your other arm. I have something for you." He gave her the box and smiled as she opened it and gasped at the heart shaped locket. Inside was empty except for an inscription, This locket looks empty but it holds all the love in my heart...Courtney felt the tears in her eyes, "it was my mother's, I want you to have it." Courtney couldn't speak she just hugged him tightly, "I haven't said this to you enough but I love you sonny." "I love you too Courtney."

3 hours later at kelly's
He watched as she came to him, and she took his breath away, she wrapped his arm in hers. "Mr. Morgan will now recite his vows." The priest said..


Chapter 25
Kelly's
Tears shimmered in Courtney blue eyes, she was about to be Mrs. Jason Morgan. "Jason and Courtney would like to say their own vows. Ms. Matthews." Courtney gave Carly her bouquet and and put her hands into Jason's. "I love you with all my heart.. you have my friend, my strength, my everything. I don't care what other people say or think, you're wonderful and the one true love of my life." Courtney's tears were now falling down her cheeks. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you and nothing could ever change how i feel for you. I want to be your wife for as long as you want me." Carly and Emily were crying and so was Monica and Lila and Bobbie. Jason wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her hands that he was still holding. "Ms. Matthews the ring." Courtney got the ring from Michael and slipped it on Jason's hand. "This ring is a symbol of my undying love for you." Now it was Jason's turn. "Courtney, I've never been good with words and words can't express how much I love you. I want you to be my wife from now until forever. This ring is a symbol of how much I love you and want to be your husband. You are everything I've ever wanted." Jason then turned to Emily who was holding Alicia and crying. Jason picked the baby up, "I want Alicia to be my daughter and this is what I have for you." He slipped the gold baby ring on the 2 month old's tiny fingers. "You are my little girl always." He kissed the baby's cheek, then he turned back to Courtney who was still crying. "Okay well now you may kiss the bride." Jason leaned in and kissed her so completely. "I now present Mr. and Mrs. Jason Morgan and Alicia." Everyone cheered and there wasn't a dry eye in the room, except for Michael who was smiling from ear to ear. Even little Morgan was beginning to cry which caused Alicia to cry. As Mr and Mrs. Morgan walked down the hall the cops showed up.

"Freeze. Jason Morgan and Michael Corinthos Jr. You're under arrest for the murder of Robin Scorpio." Jason was still holding Alicia and holding Courtney's hand. Sonny felt Carly tense as she held a now screaming Morgan. Sonny stepped up in front of Jason and Courtney, "I don't know what's going on here but we're trying to go to a reception and you weren't invired." Scott and Mac smiled, "the only place you two are going is to the station for lock up." Sonny cringed at the word, he couldn't spend 48 hours behind bars but the cuffs were slapped on.

Chapter 26
PCPD

Jason and Sonny were both put in lock up, Carly and Courtney had gone back home to change and take care of the babies and Michael. Then they were coming back.

Jason got the signal from SOnny and gunshots went off and a fire started. It was complete madness Scott was about to cry screaming, "I'm too young to die! I'm too powerful to die and too important!" Sonny and Jason made there escape with no problems and they flew out to the country both knowing they couldn't come back for a while.

Jason's PH
Courtney had finally gotten Alicia down for the night and she turned on the news, that's when she heard Sonny and Jason had escaped and that Mac was dead and so was Scott. Taggert was going to be put in charge of the PCPD until someone else came. He also said that the charges against Jason Morgan and Sonny corinthos would be dropped. Courtney hoped that Jason would find out and come home soon.

The Cellar
Carly walked into the room it was beautiful, she started cleaning up and putting everything away. When she heard someone behind her, "Son.." But it wasn't Sonny, "Carly you seem suprised to see me I came for my wife's new wedding but i guess i'm late." Carly knew that AJ was drunk and she knew how he got when he was. Then everything went dark and she remembered him lifting her into his arms and taking her somewhere.

Chapter 27
Jason's Penthouse- The next day

Courtney laid in bed thinking of Jason, they were now married and everything might get to be okay. No more Mac or Scott, just her, Jason, and he..their daughter. She heard footsteps on the stairs and she sat up, "Who's there?" "It's me Mrs. Morgan." Courtney couldn't believe it, "Jason!" She ran into his arms and kissed him passionately, "When did you get back?" Jason wished she hadn't broken the kissed her, he needed her, he needed to feel her. "Just now, we came back as soon as we heard the charges had been dropped."

They made love the whole night through until Alicia began to cry and Jason got up and went to her. "What's wrong angel?" The baby stopped crying as he carried her downstairs and got her bottle. "I missed you baby, did you miss Ja..daddy?" The babys response was a little coo and she drifted back to sleep with a full tummy and her daddy back. Instead of taking her back into the nursery he sat on the couch and just held her. His whole world was finally complete. Tomorrow he and Courtney would leave on their honeymoon.

The next day
As Courtney was packing to leave she noticed that Jason really didn't seem like he wanted to leave. He kept going to the nursery and just watching Alicia, so she put the suitcases up and walked up behind him slipping her arms around his waist. "You know we don't have to go to Barcelona to have a wonderful honeymoon. We could have one right here with our daughter. Besides I hate being away from her." Jason smiled, "Do you mean that?" Courtney didn't answer she just pressed her lips against his, and put her hands into his and they went into the bedroom and closed the door behind them....

Sonnys Penthouse
Sonny was busy making plans to take Carly and the kids to the island. "Sonny why don't we ask Jason and Courtney if they'd like to come?" Sonny watched as Carly picked up Morgan, his baby girl was getting so big. And she had him wrapped around those tiny fingers. "Okay why don't you go over and ask him?"

Jason's Penthouse
Carly walked in as usual, "Courtney? Jason?" She saw Courtney come down the stairs, "Yeah Carly?" "Well Sonny is taking me and the kids to the island and we wanted you and Jason and Alicia to come with us." Courtney smiled, "yeah we'd like that. Jason is at the warehouse but i'll ask him when he comes home." Carly smiled, she could tell how happy Courtney was married life looked really good on her.

The warehouse
Sonny walked in and found Jason filling out forms and stuff. "Hey you and Courtney and Alicia wanna come to the island with me and Carly and the kids?" Jason smiled, "yeah it sounds great, but what about the business?" "It'll be find for a couple of weeks, we all just need to get away." Jason knew he did, he and Courtney hadn't gone to Barcelona because he hadn't wanted to leave Alicia, now they could go somewhere together as a real family.

The Island
Courtney and Carly had taken forever to get ready, but finally they were at the island. Courtney was holding on Jason's hand and he was carrying a very awake and happy 4 month old Alicia. "I'm glad we came." Jason smiled at her, "Me too Courtney." Sonny and Carly walked behind them with Michael and Morgan and Jacey and Rosie. "I'm glad we invited them." Sonny kissed her, "Me too sweetheart." Michael ran for the beah and Sonny and Carly yelled at him to be careful. This was their first family vacation and it was only going to get better.

Chapter 29

The Island~ The next day

Courtney and Carly slipped into their bikinis and went down to the beach, "Michael be careful!" "yeah okay mom." Carly laughed and laid down onto the blanket Leticia had put both little girls down for their nap. "Courtney? Are you and jason thinking about having any more little ones?" Courtney smiled and blushed, "yeah but we want to wait until Alicia is out of diapers." Carly laughed, "Yeah I would feel the same way." Courtney smiled at the tought of Alicia having a little brother or sister. Before long Courtney had fallen asleep on the beach and Carly looked over and smiled and put up the umbrella so Courtney wouldn't burn. Then she went to play in the ocean with Michael.
Courtney's Dream
Courtney had Alicia dressed and ready to go, the 6 year old was beautiful in her little sun dress. "Mommy when is daddy coming to take us on beach picnic?" Courtney smiled, "Daddy and Jenna and Caleb will be here soon." Courtney grinned Jason loved Alicia just as much as he loved 3 year old Caleb and 2 year old Jenna. Alicia heard her daddy's voice and ran into his arms, "Daddy! Daddy!" Jason lifted the girl into his arms, "Hey angel, are you ready to go on the picnic?" "Yeah daddy!" Courtney came down the stairs and kissed Jason's lips, and the five of them walked down to the beach with their family. Jason couldn't believe he had gotten so lucky.

"Courtney wake up, Courtney." She opened her eyes and saw Sonny holding Alicia, "How long have I been asleep?" Sonny smiled, "Oh for about 4 or 5 hours. My neice and I thought we'd come and check on you." Courtney sat up and took her baby in her arms, "Did she get fussy when she woke up?" Sonny laughed everyone knew Alicia didn't get fussy, she screamed. "Oh a little." Courtney knew that meant her daughter had screamed loud enough to make the walls shake. "Well that's my girl."

He watched them from a distance with revenge in his heart...

* Hope everyone liked that, sorry that it was kinda short. I might be able to put more up tonight*

Chapter 30
The Island

AJ watched as Sonny and Courtney walked with his daughter back to the house, Jason would pay for stealing both of his children. His life had been perfect before Jason had come home, he had a wife who would do whatever he wanted and a beautiful daughter.

Back inside the house Sonny began fixing dinner for everyone, Carly was in the shower in her room and Courtney was in the shower in hers. Jason was busy fixing Michaels truck that he had broken again. Marco walked into the kitchen, "Mr. Corinthos?" Sonny turned, "yeah?" "Someone is on the island besides us, i'm not sure who it is." Sonny cursed loudly causing Jason to come into the kitchen, "Sonny what is it?" Sonny frowned and told Michael to go and check on his sister and Alicia, when Michael had left he turned back to Jason. "Someone's on the island." Jason looked out the window at the calm and restless ocean. "Who could it be?"

Before he could say anything else Carly walked into the room, "What's going on?" She was followed by Courtney, "Is there a problem?" Jason wrapped his arm around her waist, "Someone else is on the island." Courtney saw the look in his eyes, it was dark but it had love in them and she knew that he was worried about her and Alicia. "I'm sure it's no one." Carly said trying to calm them all down. "We can't take that chance, Max, you and Marco find out who it is and what they're doing here and how they found out about the place." Max nodded and he and Marco left.

AJ watched from the window at Leticia holding Alicia and singing to her, Michael was holding Morgan's rattle and playing with her. Courtney and Alicia would be his again... then he paused why stop with one child when he could have them both again. Tonight he would take them tonight when Jason and Sonny were discussing business and Carly and courtney would be asleep. They would learn never to cross AJ Quartermaine again.

As night fell Courtney and Carly put the kids to bed and curled in themselves, while Jason and Sonny were down in the secret room discussing how to do deal with whoever it was on the island.

AJ put his hand over Courtney's mouth and carried her out the window where he knocked her unconscience then he went back for Michael and Alicia, and he took the three of him to jet he'd rented and flew far away. To a place where Sonny and his enforcer could never find them.

Chapter 31

Unknown Island
Courtney had finally gotten Michael and Alicia to calm down and get some sleep. "AJ why are you doing this?" AJ just smiled, "Don't you get it? You're still my family and Jason and Sonny are going to learn that." Courtney felt the tears behind her eyes, she knew Jason and Sonny would find her, but she didn't know when or if it would be too late. AJ was capable of anything and Courtney would do whatever she had to as long as she could protect the children.

Back on the island
Carly screamed and read the note that AJ had written saying that he had the kids, Jason and Sonny swore to find them.

One Month Later
Carly was back in Port Charles with Morgan and the dogs. Jason and Sonny were still looking but all they got were dead ends. No one had heard or seen AJ in months and they didn't know if Courtney and the kids were okay or not. "Jason we have looked and looked, we'll try again soon but we.. we need to just rest." Jason didn't want to rest he wanted Courtney and Alicia and he wanted AJ dead. He would find AJ and make him pay for everything he'd done.

*sorry to leave it like that, but i will write the last chapter maybe tomorrow. The Sequel "Say You Still Love Me" will be out soon*


Okay this is the last chapter, thanks to everyone with all the great feed back... it really means a lot to me. Okay Enjoy!

Chapter 32
Jason's Penthouse

He got out the album that Carly had made for Courtney, it was pictures from their wedding. "Oh Courtney where has he taken you?" In his heart he'd hoped that the picture would talk back and tell him where she was, but he knew it was crazy. He found the picture of his daughter... his Alicia, she would be almost old enough to sit up on her own now if she wasn't all ready. Sonny told him about Carly having nightmares about Michael and that they were getting worse each night. AJ was destroying their lives and he would pay dearly. Jason went up to bed but he knew that he wouldn't sleep... couldn't sleep.

Sonny's Penthouse
Sonny awoke to Carly screaming and crying for their son. "Don't hurt him!! AJ please don't hurt Michael, he's just a little boy!" Sonny took her in his arms, "wake up, it's only a nightmare." Carly opened her eyes letting more tears spill out. "I want him home... I need him home" She sobbed into his chest, "Jason and I will find and bring him home sweethear and AJ will pay for this." Carly didn't say anything but she laid back in his arms and closed her eyes. Sonny wanted to promise that everything would be okay, but this time he couldn't.

An hour later Sonny still hadn't been able to fall sleep. He thought about Courtney's wedding to AJ on that island so far away. Then he knew it... he knew where they were. He got out of bed and got dressed and went right over to Jasons.

Jason's Penthouse
Jason got up and got dressed and went down the stairs where he heard Sonny yelling for him. "Sonny what is it?" "I know where AJ has taken them, get your gun and let's go." Jason didn't waste any time, he got his gun and they left for Ralley Field.

Island
Alicia was sitting up in the crib that Aj had bought for her, she was now 6 months old and beautiful as always. Michael was sitting in Courtney's lap and she was reading to him to try and calm him down. "Aunt Courtney?" "Yeah?" Michael sighed and fought back the tears, before everytime that Michael had cried for his mommy and daddy the mean man would yell at him. "Am I ever going to go home again?" Courtney hugged him and a lone tear rolled down his face, "Yes michael daddy and Jason are coming to get us and take us home. It's just taking a while because they don't know where we are. But it won't be long now." She prayed that every night.

Jason and Sonny were right outside the old cabin and they looked in and saw AJ at the table, Courtney and the kids were probably in one of the bedrooms. Sonny had his men surround the house so that AJ couldn't escape. Then Jason kicked in the door and Sonny and Jason began firing the guns.

Courtney didn't know what was going on but she held Michael close and then Alicia started to cry, then Jason ran and grabbed his baby in his arms and she stopped. "You're getting so big!" Courtney and Michael both ran to Jason and then Sonny came in and Michael ran into his arms and told him how much he loved him.

Back in Port Charles everything was wonderful AJ was gone for good and they could get back to the things that really mattered,FAMILY.

7 months later
Courtney and Jason had celebrated Alicia one year birthday and now as Courtney laid in Jason's arms she knew she had something else to tell him. "Jason... I'm pregnant..."
