Raising an eyebrow, curious to why Noah hadn't spoken up yet - he being one of the chattiest people I knew, at least around me - I tried to wait patiently. My genetics didn't give me the patience most people preferred, as with both of their professions being attorneys, my parents weren't exactly the type to wait around. Desired verdicts required intense studying, a love I also acquired from Mom and Dad. Most people found studying absolutely boring and irritating, but it was just one of my weird joys.
Seeing Spencer come up to Bri, I hoped my cousin's son wouldn't say anything stupid that would upset her. I didn't know the full story there, but I knew cousin Nikky had something to do with the split. Jake hated Spence and I didn't really blame him, but he was family and even though we were Cassadines, our brood stuck together. If only Krissy could find a nice man and get out of the constant abusive relationships she had been in. I would suggest to her one of Jake's older brothers, but Gavin was with Ser and Cam was with Chanel. I was pretty sure those were the only brothers he had.
As Jake turned back to me and spoke, I caught his eye and ran a hand down my side again, anxious to tell him but worried at the same time. "Jake, there's something you need to know." Looking at Noah and worrying my lip, I wondered if I could tell them both at the same time; kill two birds with one stone type of deal. "Something that might end us." He must think I cheated on him now, but knowing how he reacted when I even brought it up, I knew he wouldn't like this. Maybe he would decide I wasn't worth it.

"Jake, there's something you need to know." I looked at Molly and sighed "Okay.." I hated hearing this, last time it was a huge secret that we fought about and the she got into a motorcycle accident. I let her keep talking and it seemed to get worse as she went on."Something that might end us." I looked at Noah "Why don't we go somewhere private.." I know Noah was her best friend and everything but.. this seemed serious, and I didn't like others knowing my person life. I looked around, and back at Molly, I was worried and didn't really know what to expect.
I grabbed Molly's hand and kinda dragged her with me over to a corner, yea I knew she'd be mad that I ragged her away from Noah. I looked at her again "What's going on? Are you okay?" Shes been acting weird for awhile now and I know she said she been sick but that couldn't just be it, I just wanted the truth though lately she's been keeping somethings from me, but I wasnt exactly honest about everything I did.. I didn't tell her things I should but it was nothing that couldn't change 'us', I really hope this wasn't something that would

I headed over to the bar before leaning up against it. I rested my hands on the counter, glancing over at the bartender who was tending to another costumer. I watched as he made his way over toward me after a few seconds. I placed my order in which happened to be my regular request. Once the bartender left, I turned back around, leaning my back against the counter as I glanced around me at everyone gathered. Family, friends, some people I wish I didn't know. I knew everyone in this room. It was hard not to considering this was Port Charles. Everyone knew each other in Port Charles. "Here you go" I heard the bartender say behind me. I blinked, coming out of my thoughts as I turned back around before nodding my head as I reached out for the beer. I reached into my back pocket, pulling out my wallet before noticing the bartender shake his head at me. "You know your money isn't good here" he said to me. I let out a small laugh before shoving my wallet back into my pocket. Carly didn't let me spend a dime in this place. I was the son of her two best friends and was married to her daughter. There were some perks that came with being related to Jason Morgan and nothing that I wasn't willing to take advantage of either. Free beer always tasted good, better than bought that was for sure and anything that I could get out of Jasper Jacks even better
The rich bastard wouldn't even notice it missing. God knows he had money to waste. I was never big on Jax from the moment I met him. I had a bad feeling about him and I normally wasn't wrong. I took a sip of my beer, feeling the cold, strong liquid go down. I turned back around, looking out around the room once again. I could feel a pair of eyes on me. I tensed up slightly, becoming aware that someone was looking at me. I looked in the direction and noticed Serena heading my way. I smiled at her, she knew how to take my breath away. Serena always knew how to leave me breathless. She looked perfect but than again I always thought Serena was the prettiest woman I ever laid eyes on. 'Hey' "Hey yourself Birthday girl" I said to her with a smirk as I sat beside her on the free stool. 'Your very anti-social you know that' I let out a small laugh at that before shaking my head slightly. "If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black" I said to her, taking a sip out of my beer. "It's what I get for being a Morgan" I said to her. I considered myself to be more fun than my dad. I didn't think he knew the meaning of the word fun
'I say we grab the presents and you take me home'
"That sounds like a great plan" I said to her, nodding my head. If Serena wasn't here, there was no reason as to why I should be. I really didn't mind being back home, spending my time with Serena and our daughter, Courtney. It sounded like a perfect plan and a perfect way to spend a day. I didn't mind it at all. "We could escape through the doors...nobody would notice" I said, letting out a small laugh. I'm sure I would hear about it from all sides but I figured, I would deal with that issue when it came. It was Serena's birthday after all, she should spend it the way she wanted to spend it and if it was with me, alone...I definitely didn't mind

So much for that plan. I should have known that Jake would take me aside the moment I told him I needed to talk with him, but it still managed to surprise me. Noah would kill me later for this, but it's not as if I went willingly. Jake inherited his dad's strong grip and even if I wanted to break free, I couldn't. One thing I did know; once Jake left in disappointment and anger, then I would return to Noah. He had just as much right to know as my boyfriend did.
Taking a deep breath, I decided the last thing I would do is beat around the bush. Jake hated those types of discussions. "I'm fine. We--we're fine." Running a hand over my midriff and then through one of my side braids, sighing, I tried to look him straight in the eye. I didn't want to tell him, but I needed to. He had to know. "Do you remember what happened before...before my accident?" I knew he hated to think about it, but I had to remind him of our discussion before our fight. "Before I told you the truth?"
Looking down and then back up at him, I tried to summon up all of the courage I could possibly possess, all of the strength I would need if he decided that we weren't worth this. "It happened. I've been so sick so much lately that Mom finally forced me to go to the doctor before I came today...Jake, I'm pregnant."

Post by Noah Zacchara on Dec 5, 2009 10:12:47 GMT -5
I almost laughed when she made a 'hmm' noise. She was probably going to start listing off actors she thought were attractive before settling on the decision that it was me. I loved all the little games Molly and I played. No matter how many times we did them, they never got old. I'm pretty sure we have been best friends since we could remember. Sure Molly was a little older then me. I was still taller then her, and I could pick her up when needed. That means I win. Yeah I'm an idiot.
"Let's see. Henry Cavill cancelled his invitation and Brandon Barash is on vacation. Must be none other than...Noah Zacchara?"
I laughed when she started talking and I knew I was right. She usually switched it up. This time is being that Cavill guy and Brandon something. Last time she asked if it was either Jesus or the tooth fairy. I thought I was a little to big to be the tooth fairy..but then again I have never seen her. Damn sneaky ass fairy. I also don't have any other teeth to lose either....so I guess she won. Maybe I didn't want to see her though. I watched a movie that says if you see the tooth fairy she kills you. What. A. Bitch. "Damn....You are correct." I grinned. She turned around gave me a kiss on the cheek, and then I gave her a big hug. I haven't seen her in what... 13 hours? Horrible, just horrible.
"About time you showed up."
I laughed and shrugged..."Well I was deciding if I should come or not. It took a while before I thought about what you might do if I didn't...and here I am!" I grinned at her. I truly wasn't positive on what she would have done. Molly liked to switch it up sometimes so I never knew if I needed to hide or run or buy her things or go shopping with her so she could force me to hold all of her stuff so she could by more things since she had more arm room. So I decided to stop wondering and just come. The party wouldn't be boring or bad as far as I could see. I was just a lazy ass. Who didn't want to be tricked into singing in front of everyone...which I really hoped Molly wouldn't try to do. She always ended up tricking me into doing things I would rather not do. I'm still not quite sure on how she does it. I looked back up from Molly, and noticed Jake walking over. I never really had a problem with him. As far as I could tell, he was sort of like his dad. Quiet. I didn't really know much else. Though Molly seemed to really like him, so I just left it alone. Even if I still believed what happened to Molly was his fault; as he could have handled it better...I promised Molly I'd forget about it.
"Jake, there's something you need to know...Something that might end us."
Molly looked over at me and bit her lip. Whatever this was she didn't tell me...I didn't know what to think. What had happened? Why didn't she tell me before...it looked like it was serious and sounded like if from what she told Jake. I figured that Jake would pull her off so they could talk about it in private, but she did say it in front of both of us, so maybe she wanted to tell me too? I watched Jake pull Molly off and I sighed. Well she would have to tell me later then, I guess. I walked over to the nearest table and pulled out a chair to sit on, looking in their general direction. I almost tried to hear what they were talking about but obviously I couldn't because of the music and such. Plus, that would be 'eavesdropping' and according to several people that was 'bad'. I rubbed the back of my head and watched what happened. I couldn't stop wondering what it was. Molly looked almost scared and that worried me....

Seeing the liquid from her glass drip down onto her shoe, I frowned, knowing I startled her. I had hoped my tone would be light enough to put her at ease, but obviously everything that had happened with my old man kept that from happening. I didn't know if I would ever be able to forgive him. Bridget was the best thing that ever happened to me and my dad, the man who had barely been around in my life, took her from me. I felt like kicking something or throwing anything, tossing some piece of furniture, every time I remembered.
Looking at her, I couldn't help but smile. She was so beautiful and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop loving her. "Fine, I guess. I mi--I tried seeing you." I didn't want to tell her I missed her if she didn't feel the same and I really had tried to see her. Watching her quick grab for a drink, I frowned again, hoping she wasn't venturing toward a relapse. Jason wouldn't let me help the first time, even though I was his best friend's nephew and ex-wife's son, but I wouldn't let anyone stop me from helping her this time. If there was a "this time," which I doubted.
Spotting my older brother, I realized it still felt weird to have an older brother. For the longest time, I had been an only child, listening to Uncle Sonny tell me stories about how I might have had a sibling, but now I did have that sibling. It wasn't all bad; he was, for the most part, cool. And he definitely had a sexy wife. But not half as sexy as my Bridget. Nodding across the room at him and seeing that he was in deep discussion with his wife, I turned my gaze back toward Bridget and hoped she wouldn't push me away.

"Hey yourself Birthday girl" I rolled my eyes "Yea yea" I wasn't a fan of celebrating my birthday, Every year there was something, If it wasnt raining someone was getting shot or someone was dying or Jason came around.. something every year, I wish people would just forget about this day sometimes."If that isn't the pot calling the kettle black It's what I get for being a Morgan" I laughed a bit "Considering how we met, you know I am not Anti-social" I smiled, He always could get me to laugh "You are nothing like a Morgan.. you talk and don't stare and blink in response to everything"
"That sounds like a great plan" I nodded "Aren't all my plans" I said, knowing he'd probably say no because most of my plan either didn't work or got us into some major trouble. "We could escape through the doors...nobody would notice" I smiled "We always ditch parties you know that?" I laughed a bit We always end up leaving and either coming back later or just staying home. "Well Courtney's with the nanny, So it would just be me and you" which was not a bad thing at all

"I'm fine. We--we're fine." She didn't seem fine.. But as far as I knew we were fine unless something else huge happened.I looked at Molly and nodded, of course I remember that day, as much as Id love to forget about it, a lot happened and she was starting to worry my when she brought it up, She seemed scared and nervous "Are you okay Molls" I asked her, i know she had been sick lately and I'm glad her mom finally made her go to the doctor, I thought about it, was she pregnant?. Oh god, No she cant be, she would have told me right? I really just hoped she was okay but at the sound of this conversation something was going on.
"It happened. I've been so sick so much lately that Mom finally forced me to go to the doctor before I came today...Jake, I'm pregnant." those last words hit me like a ton of bricks "Your pregnant?" I asked her, maybe I heard wrong, I know I didn't but I was making sure. "Um.. wow" I didn't really know what to do "how long have you known?" Yea she went to the doctors, but I'm sure she had to have known before that, all those times she told me she just had a bug. I ran my hands over my face and through my hair. I sat down in one of the chairs trying to process everything "What about the crash did anything happen to the baby?" I mean she was hit by a car. I didn't know what to say or think really.

I walked into the MetroCourt behind Serena. I saw her spot Gavin and she walked towards him. I followed to say hello to the mobster before going to find my family. I was kind of wondering where my siblings were. I smirked at Gavin, trying not to grimace or glare. It's Serena's party and I shouldn't make her uncomfortable. "Hello, Gavin." I shook his hand. I turned back to Serena. "Come get me when you would like to leave." I leaned in and kissed her on the cheek before walking away to find Jake or Audrey.
I spotted Jacob near the center of the room with Molly. The look on his face spelled shock and almost anger or sadness. I frowned and wondered what that was about. But, the way that Molly and Jake were positioned with one another I figured it better not to interrupt. I would ask him later.
I looked around for my sister. She was a little young to be here but she would be here. Carly was Jason's best friend so of course she was invited. Aud wasn't exactly close to Serena but she wouldn't miss a party this big for anything in the world.

I walked into the Metro Court and pushed the elevator button, I didnt really know why I was coming here though, I'm sure Cam would be here so I'll just hang with him. Cam spent a lot of time with Serena, and anytime Her and her husband got in a fight she was with Cam or Cam was helping her out, kinda made me a bit jealous, Oh well they were nothing more then best friend. The doors opened and I smiled walking in. I had an amazing dress on, Well come on my moms Maxie Jones, I always get the best outfits. I was happy that my parent were find their way back together though, I mean I had nothing against Lulu, but My mom and dad were perfect for each other, even they know it..they're just too stubborn to admit it.
I walked up behind Cam and covered his eyes "Guess who" I smiled, I took a quick glance around to see if I knew anyone here, Cam sister and Molly seemed to be having a intense conversation, Serena was with Gavin, no shocker there. Noah Zacchara was hanging around by himself? Micheal needs to get more social and get a girlfriend and JJ well shes a mini Serena, Ill say none the least, just more spoiled. Well I guess that's what you get when you the daughter of Jaxs and Carly.. whatever her last name is today. I was happy to be an only child, I was spoiled in my own way

I looked up at Spencer suspiciously. I was kind of wary about being near him again. Everything that he said made me feel like my heart was turning into soft butter. Each word was like a knife and my heart was making so easy to be torn up.
Spencer began to say that he had missed me and I frowned to myself. My heart was now no more. He changed his words but I still heard it in his voice. I knew him better than anyone and that meant this sucked even more. I knew every tone of his voice, every wrinkle of his face, every expression he had. I knew his body movements and what he did with every emotion that struck him. Instead of falling into the traps he always set for me I replied in a shocked voice. Mostly because I was, but partially I was trying to just keep myself together. "You did?" I tried to make my voice sound as if that wasn't what I had hoped for, for over a year.
God, how much I hated Nikolas. Why the fuck did he have to get involved with mine and Spencer's life? But, then again how much could Spencer have cared to me. I hadn't seen him in over a year and now he had decided to talk to me again? What so he could break my heart again and let Nik do the dirty work for him. As of this moment I had my suspicions that Spencer had something to do with Nikolas' outburst.

I felt two warm hands wrap around my face to cover my eyes. I smiled when I heard the voice that went with the soft palms. I took the hands in mine and turned around. "Hello, Chanel." I smirked down at her, not letting go of her hands. I had a sort of crush on Chanel, and had for awhile now but I wasn't really sure that I could do anything about this. She was completely out of my league. She was beautiful and smart. I'm just a common detective, a part of the Port Charles Police Department. I was pretty sure she just thought of me as a friend.
"What are you doing here?" I was very surprised to see Chanel here, she wasn't exactly friends with Serena. But then again this entire town had been invited to this damn party that Serena didn't even want to be at. Carly really seemed to go overboard sometimes. It was funny to think that she was related to my father. They were nothing alike except for that they are apparent magnets for danger. Crazy Spencer's.

I saw my sister walk into the room, finally. She was followed by Cameron Spencer who was pretty much attached to her at the hip. I was surprised that they didn't share one mind. I finished my drink and set it down on the bar. I ordered another one before walking over to my sister, who was now standing with her husband. Neither of them seemed to be too excited to be here, but then again neither of them liked parties much. Serena especially hated that mom was throwing this big thing for her birthday. Mom really needed to calm down with the whole showering her children with everything and anything they wanted, and things they didn't.
"Hi Serena." I smiled at my sister. I opened my arms to her and hugged her quickly. I turned to my brother in law and reached up on my toes to kiss him lightly on the cheek. "And how are you my dear brother-in-law?" I liked Gavin well enough. He was Jason and Courtney's son, who were mom's two best friends. And he was pretty close to mom for the most part. But sometimes he could be a jerk to my sister and I really hated that. I wanted for her to be happy and , most of the time, she was quite content with Gavin.

There were some things people just didn't want to face, and I guess making myself believe I had the flu was one of those. It wasn't supposed to happen to us. Mom didn't even know yet and I knew I couldn't tell her. Krissy had been sick with the flu for weeks and I thought I just got it from her, even after our minute-long scare. Jake looked so...disappointed, flustered...was that even a hint of anger, frustration, and irritation? It's not like I purposely got us into this situation; he was as much a part of it as I was. Not that it was a "situation;" I wanted children, I did. But I was nineteen and Jake was seventeen; our intimacy wasn't even technically legal. I was pro-life and refused to change my mind, but how would Jake react to that?
"I thought it was just the flu. Krissy was so sick that I could have easily gotten it from her. But...it's so much more...I was wrong." I laughed, thinking about my earlier question. I asked the doctor the exact same thing Jake just had and she also laughed in response. "There wasn't anything to harm at the time, Jake. It's possible that this...this pregnancy...might be difficult, though. The accident caused a little internal damage that the doctors overlooked because it was so insignificant at the time. But with this news...I just have to be careful and avoid stress as much as possible." Yeah right, like I could really do that with Ric Lansing as my father.
I loved my dad, but his wife was the craziest bitch on the planet. Don't even get me started on her dad; then again, maybe it was genetic. But no one was worse than Helena and she still liked to pick on Mom every now and then. Sometimes she would even try to use us, like a few years ago when she took Krissy and I. It really was lame, since she couldn't seem to hold onto us. "I don't know what you want, Jake, but this...this is a baby. Our baby...or my baby, if you don't want it. I'm not getting rid of my own flesh and blood." I knew I was getting defensive, but I couldn't stop myself.

It broke my heart to see her so suspicious of me, but it wasn't as if I hadn't given her reason to act that way. She didn't know about her dad's involvement in keeping us away and no matter how much I loathed him, I wasn't going to tell her. Perhaps she had managed to find out on her own, but if she hadn't, then maybe she just shouldn't know. My dad was ruined to me, had been for years, but hers didn't have to be. Besides, what difference would it make? Surely she would think I didn't love her enough to fight for her, to argue with her dad, which was completely false. If Dad hadn't practically forced me to Greece, I would have done so. I wanted her and I always would.
"I did. Certain people made it near to impossible, but Bridget, you have no idea how much I still love you. If it were up to me, we would be together. I don't know if you still feel the same, but you deserve to know." Attempting a smile for my lovely Bridget, I longed to have her in my arms again. Knowing that sadly wasn't an option, I leaned forward and gave her a small peck on the forehead, sure I would be smacked for that but not caring in the slightest.
