PH 2

Courtney awoke in Jasons arms and sighed she felt so safe,she didn't want to leave his embrace but she had to be strong.She had to protect her heart no matter how much it pained her to keep Jason at arms lenghth.She knew in the end it would work out.

Jason awoke in Courtney's bed,but she was no longer with him,he sighed.

He walked down stairs

Courtney,Jason called

Yeah,Courtney said emerging from the kitchen.

Jason walked over to her and smiled.He placed his hand on her stomach she was beginning to show slightly.

6 weeks along,Jason said

Courtney nodded.

Jason took Courtney's hand and led her to the couch.

So have you thought of names,Jason questioned

Courtney blushed

Yes,she replied

What?he asked

For a boy Cody Ryan and for a girl Carly Emma,Courtney said

I love them,Jason said

Good,Courtney said

Courtney,when the baby comes I hope you plan to live here with me,Jason asked with hope in his voice.

Ofcourse,Courtney said

Jason smiled

Theres no reason why two friends can't raise there child in the same house,Courtney said

Jason looked at her and smiled weakly.

FRIENDS,the word played over in his head,he knew it would haunt his dreams.

Robin,Courtney said

I mean I feel bad ebough making Jason have to deal with me living here and the baby and all,Courtney said

Don't be silly,Carly said

What,Courtney questioned

You might be breaking Jason's heart by not giving him a chance to let him show how much he loves you.But you and that baby are his purpose now,Carly said

Suddenly it hit Courtney,Carly was right.

Courtney stood and ran out the door slamming it behind her,she was going to run and run until she found Jason and told him,she wanted to give there love a try!

Chapter 21

The Docks

Jason inched close to her,there faces inches apart.

You stay the hell away from Courtney and our baby,do you hear me Robin,Jason said

What,you want me to be afraid Jase.I know you would never hurt me,Robin taunted

You hurt Courtney or the baby,then I will,Jason said

Robin looked at Jason shocked.

Did you just threaten me,Robin asked with a grin.

Yes,Jason said coldly.

Courtney walked up to the docks,noticing Jason and Robin she hid behind a bush.Maybe I lost Jason to his ex,Courtney thought.

Courtney and the baby are my life and if you even threaten to come near them and hurt them,I wont be responsible for what happens to you,Jason said

I'm not afraid,Robin smirked

Jason just stared at her.

I'm not afraid,Jason of your threats or your cold stares,Robin said

Robin walked away.

Courtney still hid behind the bush,she was confused,Jason cared about her so much.What if being with him was wrong.Before she got Jason's hopes up,she walked away from the docks and home to think!

Hey,Jason said as he entered the house.

Hey,Courtney replied

Jason walked over and sat next to Courtney,he took her hands and placed them in his.

She looked down at there hands entwined and then turned to him and looked into his eyes.

Courtney do Robin's threats bother you?Jason asked

She threatens my child and myself ofcourse it bothers me,Courtney said in an angrily tone.

I didn't mean that way,I meant do you feel like your not protected,Jason questioned

Sometimes yes,Courtney replied hesitantly.

Well,don't.I'm always here and I'm not going anywhere,Jason said

Courtney smiled at him.

I know,she whispered

Jason held Courtney's hands tightly and kissed her forehead,somebody barged in.

Jason's eyes followed her until she dissappeared

So,she's still not giving you a chance,huh,Sonny asked

No,I swear she hates me,Jason said

Sonny was about to reply when Courtney came down the stairs and threw a pillow at Jason.

Hey,Jason said

Courtney glared at Sonny and then went back upstairs.

Jason nodded as Courtney left.

Why the h*ll won't she give me the time of day,Jason screamed to his empty penthouse after Courtney had left.

________________________________________________________________________________

The Docks

Courtney walked along the docks.Everything was so screwed up.She knew she could'nt handle much more of keeping Jason at arms length,especially since she lived with him.It killed her all ahe wanted to do was be his love,which she could be if she would allow it.Maybe my child and I need to go far,far away and never come back,Courtney asked herself.
