PH4

Courtney:  [on the phone] Yeah, my records are over at general hospital. I'll just -- i'll have them transferred over after my appointment today. Ok, thanks.

Jason: Hey, what -- are you ok?

Courtney: Yeah, I'm just a little tired.

Jason: Why don't you go across the hall and get some rest?

Courtney: You know what? I'd -- i'd rather just get out, move around, get some fresh air. I mean, that always gives me energy.

[Knock on door]

lorenzo: I have an appointment with sonny.

Jason: He'll be down in a minute.  [Jason walks Court out]

Kelly's

[Mike whistles]

mike: Hey, courtney.

Courtney: Daddy, hey.

Mike: Hey, honey. [She hugs him]Hey -- ooh. Listen, why don't you have a seat. I'll treat you to lunch. Come on. The special today is a chili cheese omelet.

Courtney: Um -- maybe some herb tea.

Mike: You feeling ok?

Courtney: Not so great. I just -- um -- just been fighting this bug, and i -- I just can't seem to shake it.

Mike: Yeah, well, maybe you should see a doctor.

Courtney: No, I'll be all right, really.

Mike: Yeah?

Courtney: But, dad, I think i'm going to have to take a raincheck on the tea. I'm going to go home and take a nap. [Courtney wavers a bit]

Mike: Oh -- hey, hey, hey. Honey, you're dizzy. Look, why don't -- i'll give you a drive home. That's the least i can do.  

Courtney: No, no, I can make it, really.

Mike: Your keys in here? [he starts digging in her purse for them and finds pregnancy pamphlets]

Courtney: No, no, I'll get them. I'll get them, really.

Mike: Sweetheart -- are you pregnant?

Courtney: I just came from mercy hospital. They confirmed it.

Courtney: Thanks. Ok, daddy, you have to promise that you will not tell jason.

Mike: Why not?

Courtney: Because carly is gone. Jason has way too much stuff to deal with. This is the last thing that he needs to worry about.

Mike: Well, honey, i'm sure he would want to know.

Courtney: And I'll tell him. I will, as soon as carly gets home.

Mike: But you can't put your lives on hold.

Courtney: Ok, jason needs to focus all of his energy on finding carly. I am not going to distract him.

Mike: Honey, a baby is more than a distraction.

Courtney: Ok, and I am capable of taking care of myself and my child. But if jason or sonny find out that i'm pregnant, they're going to send me away to the island to keep me safe and, no, daddy, i don't want to be protected. I want to help find carly.

Mike: So you're going to tell them when, next week? Next month? I mean, how do you think jason is going to feel when he finds out that you've kept this a secret?

Courtney: I will make him understand.

Mike: Sweetheart, this is the biggest news of your lives. You need to tell jason -- today.

PH4

Courtney: Hey.

Jason: Hey.

Courtney: Welcome back.

Jason: How do you feel?

Courtney: Much better.

Jason: Good.

Courtney: Yeah. Michael's asleep. It's leticia's night off, so we're babysitting. Unless you have to work.

Jason: No.

Courtney: Good. Everything's been so crazy. I just -- I need some time alone with you.

courtney: Well, we just finished the last of carly's frozen-pizza stash.

Jason: And that is going to make sonny very happy.

Courtney: Don't you dare tell him. Seriously, i am restocking that freezer the minute carly gets back. God, i keep saying that, "when she gets back," like -- I don't know, like our life is on hold until that happens. [He plays with her hair]

Jason: I know it's tough for you because you don't want us to sit around and wait all the time.

Courtney: Look, I'm not complaining. Ok? I want to do whatever I can to help, but -- I don't know, I guess the waiting just makes me think about all of our plans -- the wedding, traveling, us having a family.

Jason: It's all going to happen.

Courtney: Yeah, I know. I know, but i guess it just goes to show that you sometimes have to be flexible. You know, I mean, things happen that you don't always expect.

Jason: What things?

Courtney: I don't know. I mean, like us, for example. I mean --

jason: Yeah?

Courtney: Yeah, everything we've been through has pretty much been unexpected.

Jason: Well, I like the unexpected.

Courtney: Good. Because, um -- something happened that -- that surprised me.
