Feels Like Home

Feels Like Home

Background:

Sonny has thrown Carly out of the Penthouse and has divorced her. She is living at the Brownstone with Michael. Luke has become protective of his wayward niece and she is working at his club to support herself and Michael, since she would not take any money from Sonny. Sonny has removed all guards from Carly as he considers her dead to him. Helena has become a threat to the Spencer clan again. Jason is out of the country trying to make things safe for Carly and Michael. Sonny has ordered him to stay away from Port Charles and lay low till further notice, he is keeping Jason in the dark about Carly and Michael purposefully because he knows Jason would come back for her. One thing Sonny doesn't realize or understand though is Jason and Carly's deep connection, one that miles could never break.

He tosses and turns in his bed. An image keeps playing over and over again in his mind. He can see her running in the dark, she is frightened and crying out for him for help. Jason awakes with a startle the sweat dripping from his forehead, a severe pain in his chest.

J: CARLY!

Something was wrong he could feel it in every inch of his being. He gets up and dials Sonny. He had to make sure she and Michael were okay.

J: Sonny, its me.

S: Yeah, is everything okay - its late here man.

J: How are Carly and Michael.

S: They are fine. Why?

J: Oh just a feeling I had that is all, so everything there is good.

S: Yeah. Listen man, its late I will talk to you later.

J: Okay.

Jason hangs up and walks out onto the patio of the house he was staying at. He looks up at the moon, still feeling uneasy about his conversation with Sonny. He picks up an envelope off the table an opens it taking out the pictures. He begins to really study them, when he had first looked over them, they seemed normal. Carly and Michael looked like they were having fun at the park. He flipped through them until he came across the ones of Carly on the docks. She was sitting by herself on their bench looking out over the water. Jason looked closely at her face, her eyes. He hadn't noticed the pain in her expression before. Something was wrong with her. He had a private detective taking photos of Carly and Michael and sending them to him since he had left Port Charles. The weekly photos seemed to somewhat put his mind at ease, if he couldn't be with them physically he could at least be with them in his mind through the photographs. But recently this just wasn't enough. He missed her terribly, she was a part of him, just as he was a part of her and no matter what they would always be connected. He needed to find out what was going on and one way or another he was going to do just that.

Something in your eyes Makes me want to lose myself

Makes me want to lose myself

In your arms

There's something in your voice

Makes my heart beat fast

Hope this feeling lasts

The rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been

And how long I've felt so low

If you knew how I wanted someone to come along

And change my life the way you've done

J: Tomorrow, Carly. I will find out what is going on. I won't let you down.

Port Charles:

Luke Spencer enters Harbor View Towers. He was on a mission. His ex-partner had some explaining to do and he was going to get answers.

Johnny: Mr. Spencer.

L: I need to speak with him Johnny.

Johnny opens the door to announce Luke but Luke pushes his way in past him before he can open his mouth.

L: Corinthos we need to talk

S: Well I see things don't change, you still think you can come barging in here anytime you want.

L: Why don't you have guards on Carly and Michael?

S: Carly is dead to me. I don't owe her anything.

L: So you are going to let them just fend for them selves. Your enemies still see them as your family.

S: They are not my family. If you are so worried about them you guard them.

L: Listen Helena is up to something and she is gunning for ALL Spencer's, which makes Carly and Michael fair game.

S: The Spencer/Cassadine feud is not my concern.

L: Well I have to say that you have really sunk to new lows Corinthos even for you. Thank God Caroline and Michael are out of your life. They deserve better. Thanks for nothing!!

Luke storms out and heads over to the club to talk with Carly. She needed to be aware of Helena's latest.

Lukes Club:

Carly is behind the bar. Things were quiet there tonight and she and Bobby are talking.

B: So how are you really doing?

C: I am fine. Actually, I am not as upset about my marriage being over as I thought I would be. I mean, I guess things are easier now, I am not living under constant scrutiny. No more fighting, no more being scared all the time and having to defend my every action. Michael misses Sonny, that is what upsets me the most ya know. He has cut off Michael and that is not fair.

B: So you are moving forward, that is a good thing Carly. I just, well I see that look in your eyes.

C: Yeah, well that look is not gonna get me anywhere. He is not here mama, and who knows if he will ever come back. There is no sense in playing the what if game anymore.

B: But you still love him.

C: Of course I do. Jason will always have my heart, but that doesn't matter now. I am going to build a good life for Michael. He has us as his family. You and me.

L: Don't forget about me Darlin. Us Spencer's need to stick together.

C: How could I forget you Uncle Luke.

L: Hey I am glad you two are both here, I need to talk with you.

B: What is wrong now?

L: Just a certain psycho Cassadine. She is planning something.

C: Great, and since Michael and I are Spencer's, I suppose that leaves us open targets.

L: I am afraid so darlin. Just keep your eyes open and watch your back.

C: Looks like I jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire! She storms away to clear some tables.

B: You think Helena will hurt her and Michael?

L: They are new prey for her. Hell ya, she will be gunning for them.

B: We should call Sonny, so he can give her some protection.

L: Been there done that. He could care less about them.

B: I can't believe he won't protect them. They were his family for god's sake.

L: Well believe it Barbara Jean. We are on our own here. We all just need to be careful and lay low for the time being.

B: I will try to talk to Carly later once she calms down.

Next Day:

Jason was awake and determined to get some answers today. He still couldn't shake the uneasy feeling he had about Carly. He decided to check in with Luke. He knew that even though he wasn't Carly's biggest fan he would always look out for her.

L: Spencer.

J: Luke its Jason.

L: Well, well nice of you to call Morgan.

J: How are Michael and Carly.

L: Well considering everything she's been going through she is holding her own like a true Spencer.

J: What are you talking about Luke, what has happened?

L: Well your partner divorced her and threw her and Michael out. I figured you knew.

J: What? When did this go down?

L: It has been months now. Carly is strong and she is trying to make a good life for Michael.

J: Where are they now?

L: They are staying at the Brownstone and Carly is helping me out here at the club. Corinthos tried to pay her off but she stood up to him and wouldn't except the bastard's money. She's hanging in there though. But you got to know that Sonny took all guards off of her and Michael.

J: What! She's not safe, Sorrel could still get to her.

L: Well take that up with the big boss man. I went to see him - he refuses to give her any protection, and right now Sorrel is the least of her worries. We've got Helena gunning for us, and with Michael and Carly being Spencer's, they are gonna be her new targets.

J: I will get guards on them right away. How about the rest of you?

L: I am fine, but I would feel better if someone was watching over Bobby and Lucas. I will cover Lucky.

J: No problem Luke, consider it done.

L: Are you coming back? Cause I will tell you man, she could use a friend right now.

J: Ill do my best, but no one can know Luke, not even Carly. Things are complicated right now.

L: Mums the word. Hope to see you soon man.

J: Later.

Jason hangs up, things were starting to become clearer to him. Every time he called Sonny and asked to speak to Carly he always said she wasn't home. His dreams, they made sense, Carly did need him. What Jason couldn¹t understand though is why Sonny wouldn¹t provide Carly and Michael with protection. Jason was gonna make sure his family was safe. He dialed Benny.

J: Benny it's me. I want guards put on Carly and Michael. I don¹t care what Sonny said, they are my family and nothing is to happen to them. Just do it. I also want guards on the Brownstone. MAKE IT HAPPEN or you will answer to me.

Jason grabs a bag and starts packing. There was no way he was going to stay away from Carly any longer. He needed to make sure she was okay.

Next Evening:

Carly is sitting in a lounge chair out on the patio at the Brownstone she has a picture of her, Jason and Michael that she is holding.

C: Star light, star bright I wish I may I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight. I want my family back. Me, Jase and Michael. We belong together. (she laughs as the tears are rolling down her cheeks.) If only it were that easy.

Jason has arrived and is watching her, he cant make out what she is saying, but he sees that she is crying and holding a picture.

She was so beautiful as the moonlight illuminated her golden hair. He felt a sharp pain in his heart, god he had missed her. He wanted to grab her and take her into his arms and make take away all her pain, but he needed to get a handle on things before anyone knew he was in town. His family's safety was his first priority.

Carly gets up still crying, and drops the picture on the ground as she walks back into the house. Jason watches her leave then walks over and picks up the tear stained picture. Tears start to cloud his vision as he looks at a picture of his family. It was that moment that he knew that no matter what, he was going to get his family back. They belonged with him always. Suddenly everything seemed so clear to him. Through it all, the heartaches, the crazy plans and the many headaches, he still found himself in the same place, back in Port Charles, and back wanting Carly in his life. He wanted her to come back whirling into his life like a tornado with all her passion and crazy schemes. He wanted it all, he wanted her back HOME, home with him. No matter how far he traveled she would always be his home.

J: I love you Carly, and we will get our family back

He knew that he first needed to make sure they would be safe. He needed to make sure Helena would no longer be a threat. He set out to ensure just that. Jason rented a room across from the boat docks where Helena's boat was docked. He unlocked his gun case, taking out a snipers riffle. He loaded the gun and turned out all the lights and sat in the window waiting for Helena to come into focus. A few hours later she emerged from the boat. Jason zoomed in on his target, taking careful aim. Once she was in his sights, he pulled the trigger and watched as Helena fell instantly into the water. No one else was around so he knew he had time to break the gun down and dispose of it. Once he disposed of the gun he set out to check on Carly again.

Jason made his way over to the Brownstone and got out his lock picking kit. He easily opened the back door and slipped in. He quietly made his way upstairs to Carly's room. He carefully opened the door and entered. She was curled up asleep. He made his way over to her bed and knelt down in front of her. A smile crept to his lips as he watched her sleeping so peacefully. He listened to her breath, relaxing with her steady rhythm. He had made it back to her. Back to his home, being in her arms was the only place he felt like he was home, and that things made sense. Being without her over the years had left him with such and empty feeling inside, but seeing her right in front of him filled him with renewed hope. Hope that they could move past all the craziness of the past years and find their way back to each other.

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where

I come from

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

He gently pushed a stray wisp of hair away from her face, and leaned in and kissed her lips gently.

J: I love you Carly.

Carly smiled, as her nose filled with the familiar scent of leather and the beach that she loved so much, it reminded her of Jason. She knew she must be dreaming, and she didn't want to wake up from this dream. A small whisper escaped her lips as she called his name. "Jase". She reached out aimlessly for him grabbing his arm and pulling him to her. He slipped his shoes off and let her lead him into bed with her. He laid down behind her pulling her into his arms. Jason smiled as he tightened his arms around her and snuggled into her neck, breathing in her wonderful vanilla scent. So many nights her would dream of having her in his arms again, now his dreams had finally become reality. He whispered into her ear. I Love You Carly.

C: I love you Jase escaped her lips while still asleep. She felt an enormous sense of love and security wash over her entire body. This was a dream she wanted to last forever. She snuggled closer into his arms.

Jason was finally home. He closed his eyes and gave into his exhaustion.

The next morning Carly slowly opened her eyes. She looked down to see arms wrapped around her. She slowly turned over to face Jason who was awake and smiling at her.

C: It wasn't a dream?

J: No baby, I am right here.

She closed her eyes as the tears began to well up behind her lids. She tried to process what was going on.

J: Carly, it's okay. I'm home.

She opened her eyes again, and reached out to touch his face.

C: Your real?

J: Yeah I'm real, and I'm not going anywhere.

C: I've missed you so much Jase.

J: I know baby, I missed you too. He leaned in and slowly placed a tender kiss on her lips. She moved into the kiss wrapping her arms around his neck.

J: I love you Carly.

C: Jase?

J: I know, it has taken me so long to tell you what I have wanted to say you all along. I am sorry I never told you before now. But I do, I Love you So Much.

Carly sat up, pulling Jason up with her.

C: I've done some pretty bad things Jase.

J: I don¹t care Carly. I finally found my way home to you. Nothing else matters, the past is just that the past. We are here together now, that is all that matters. Nothing else but you and me.

If you knew how much this moment means to me

And how long I've waited for your touch

If you knew how happy you are making me

I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where

I come from

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Carly smiles as Jason wipes the tears from her eyes. She reaches out and takes his jacket off of him. Then begins to work on removing his shirt. Jason helps her then stands up before her as she turns to help unbutton his jeans and push them down over his hips along with his boxers. He steps out of his clothes as she stands before him in her button down night shirt. He works at unbuttoning her shirt, placing soft kisses down her body with each button he undoes. He removes her shirt so she is naked in front of him.

J: You are so beautiful Carly. It's been so long baby but we are finally home.

He lowers her onto the bed and covers her with his body. He starts to bite her bottom lip asking for entrance, she parts her lips and moves her tongue out to greet him. Their tongues meet and begin a slow dance as they intensify their kiss. Jason moves his way down her body with his lips and tongue, wanting to taste every inch of her. As he reaches her belly button, he swirls his tongue around its center, he looks up at Carly and they lock eyes. Each realizing how deeply connected they were. They were it for each other. No one else would ever be to them what they were for each other; soul mates. Jason continued to work his tongue in and around her belly button, causing Carly to begin to beg Jason to take her.

C: Jason please I want more!

He smiles and continues to tease her with his tongue. He starts to move lower, but Carly grabs him and pulls him up to her mouth and crashes her lips to his as she reaches down and begins stroking his hard shaft. Jason gasps at her touch, as she guides him into her.

C: I need you NOW Jase.

He sinks into her in one smooth thrust, reveling in the warmth of her wetness that surrounded him.

J: GOD CARLY I missed you so much!

Carly tightened her legs around his waist wanting him to be deeper within her. Jason lost control as she pulled him in and began thrusting faster in and out of her. He could feel her nails on his back and gasped as she sent shivers throughout his body. He was on overload with all the different sensations that were taking over his body, heart and soul. He knew he was finally home and that he would never be able to leave again. This woman was his, she belonged only to him.

C: Jase, god please.

She began to tighten and release around him, knowing it would drive him crazy. Her efforts were rewarded with his load moans. Carly enjoyed the feeling of his body trembling on top of her. She felt shockwaves start to move throughout her body as Jason drove into her harder and harder, until she went flying over the edge with an explosive climax. Carly lost control of her breathing, but managed to move her hands down to grab Jason's tight ass pulling him into her deeper. Jason screamed out her name as he exploded deep within her.

J: CARLY!

If you knew how much this moment means to me

And how long I've waited for your touch

If you knew how happy you are making me

I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where

I come from

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

The two remained still as they tried to regain control of their breathing. Jason started placing sweet kisses along her collarbone working his way up to her lips. His kisses were soft and slow as they each savored the taste of each other.

J: It's been awhile but I always remembered the way you taste, I'll never get enough baby.

C: Can I keep you?

J: Always and forever. You're my home baby.

C: I can't believe we are here together. It's been a long road, with lots of bumps and curves!

J: But all those bumps and curves brought us here. They brought us home.

C: Wait till Michael sees you he will be so excited. He has missed his daddy.

J: I've missed him too, I finally have my family back.

C: You hungry?

J: Famished actually.

C: Come on lets go get Michael up and have breakfast all together as a family.

J: Sounds great.

They get up and get dressed and get Michael up and head down for breakfast. Bobby is up and fixing pancakes in the kitchen as Carly bounces into the kitchen.

C: Morning mama.

B: Well good morning! Wow you are glowing. What has you so chipper this morning?

Jason enters the kitchen carrying Michael, with a big smile plastered on his face.

J: Morning Bobbie.

B: Well Jason, this is a surprise. I guess you are the reason my daughter is glowing this morning.

Jason blushes.

B: So have you two finally figured out that you belong together?

J: It took us long enough but we found our way back. I love your daughter very much Bobbie and I intend to spend the rest of my life making her happy.

B: Good answer Jason. Really I am thrilled that you two are finally together. Just take care of each other.

C: We will mama.

The 4 of them are having breakfast when the back door flies open and Luke & Lucky come racing in. Lucky throws a newspaper down on the table while Luke starts opening a bottle of champagne.

L: Well Morgan nice to see you back.

B: Luke!

L: Calm down Barbara Jean, I am glad Jason's back he can celebrate with us!

C: What are we celebrating?

L: See for yourselves, check out the headline.

They all fix their eyes on the headline: CASSADINE MATRIARCH'S BODY FOUND FLOATING IN RIVER.

B: Helena's dead?

L: That's right baby sister, Ding Dong the Wicked Witch is Dead!!

The cork to the champagne bottle pops hitting the ceiling. Luke starts pouring everyone a glass.

C: So we are safe now? No more worries?

L: That¹s right darlin we are finally rid of that Wacco Cassadine!

They all start toasting and celebrating. Luke motions for Jason to join him in the other room. They slip out to the living room.

L: So my boy, you wouldn¹t happen to know how Helena met her demise would you?

J: I don't know what you are talking about Luke. He gives Luke a big grin and winks at him.

Luke laughs and hugs him. L: Well I hope you are back for good, and you are going to take my crazy niece off my hands.

J: Yeah I came back for her. I love her.

L: God help you then. Just treat her right though, or you and I will have problems.

J: Don¹t worry Luke I intend to make her very happy.

L: Alright then, so when are you going to make an honest women out of her?

J: Actually, you could help me out with that. Can I borrow your club tonight?

L: For a private party?

J: Yeah, I want to do this right.

L: You got it anything you need.

J: Thanks I will send over some guys to get things set up later.

L: Come on let's get back in there before the women start asking questions.

Later that Night:

C: Jase where are you taking me?

J: Just trust me we are almost there.

The limo pulls up to Lukes and Jason carefully leads a blindfolded Carly out of the car and into Luke's.

C: Jase!

J: Be patient!

Jason slowly walks behind her and places several little kisses on her shoulders before untying her blindfold.

She slowly opens her eyes and gasps at the sight before her.

Luke's was completely filled with red and white roses, there had to have been thousands of them covering the entire place. White lights were strung all along the ceiling creating an amazing blanket of star like light. Everything was so beautiful and dreamlike.

C: Jason it is so beautiful.

She could feel the tears start to fill her eyes. Jason walked around to face her.

J: I wanted everything to be perfect as we start our lives together.

He grabbed her hand and led her out to the middle of the dance floor over to a chair. He grabbed a remote and pushed play, and music filled the entire place.

Jason knelt down in front of her and took her hand in his.

C: Jase?

J: Caroline Spencer, you blew into my life like a tornado and you captured my heart and soul. When we were apart a big piece of me was missing, now to have you back I finally feel whole. You complete me baby. I have never know what a home or family was until you gave me one. You Caroline Spencer are my home and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you do me the honors of becoming my wife?

He takes out a ring box from his jacket pocket and opens it revealing a gorgeous 4 carat emerald cut diamond with pearls and smaller diamond on each side.

Carly cant control the tears as they fall down her face. With a huge smile on her face she says YES!!

Jason takes the ring out and slips in onto her finger, and kisses her hand.

C: Jase this is the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I love it!

J: Dance with me?

He pulls her into his arms and they start swaying to the music, enjoying the magic of the moment.

Something in your eyes Makes me want to lose myself

Makes me want to lose myself

In your arms

There's something in your voice

Makes my heart beat fast

Hope this feeling lasts

The rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been

And how long I've felt so low

If you knew how I wanted someone to come along

And change my life the way you've done

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where

I come from

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

J: We are going to have an incredible life together baby. I love you Caroline Spencer, soon to be Morgan.

C: I love you to Jase.

A window breaks down a long dark street

And a siren wails in the night

But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me

And I can almost see through the dark there's light

If you knew how much this moment means to me

And how long I've waited for your touch

If you knew how happy you are making me

I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where

I come from

Feels like home to me

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Jason Morgan and Carly Spencer found a way back to each other that night. Neither one had ever known true love or the feeling of a home until they met each other. Now they are setting out to embark on new life together, loving and taking care of each other. The both had made a real home together, and they were right back where they belonged.

The End!
