I Do

"Do you Caroline take Michael to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the question hung in the air. Her mouth was dry and she couldn't speak as the desperation overwhelmed her. The tears sprung to her eyes and forcefully rolled down her cheeks.

S: Carly

She continued to stare into his blue eyes, silently begging and pleading for him to rescue her. She didn't want this marriage; she only wanted him.

Alexis sighed and rolled her eyes "Carly answer the judge. Remember what is at stake here."

Carly closed her eyes hopping that if she wished hard enough that she would be transported to another time and place where she was safe and away from this situation.

Seeing the pain and desperation in her eyes his heart felt as if someone were tearing it right out of his chest. What was he doing? He sighed deeply as she opened her big brown eyes again. A single tear rolled down his face as he finally stepped forward, and took her hand pulling her to him.

Sonny held on tightly to her other hand not releasing her. "Stay out of this Jason."

Jason only looked at Sonny with an ice-cold expression. No words were spoken and Sonny reluctantly dropped her hand.

S: If you two do this you will never be welcome back here again.

Jason let out a half laugh and turned back to Carly. He tenderly wiped the tears from her face and gave her a heartfelt smile. No words were spoken between them as they shut out everyone else in the room and focused on each other. Jason gave her a look and Carly immediately nodded yes. That was all he needed.

I've seen the storm clouds in your past

But rest assured 'cause you are safe

at home at last

I rescued you, you rescued me

And we're right where we should be

when we're together

I know the questions in your mind

But go ahead and ask me one more time

You'll find the answer's still the same

It won't change from day to day

for worse or better

He removed the floral bouquet she was holding and grabbed her other hand as they headed for the door. On their way past Alexis, Jason abruptly handed her Carly's bouquet and exited the penthouse. As the elevator doors closed Jason took out his cell phone and made a call.

J: Pickup Michael and Leticia and bring them to the airport. Carly and I will be waiting on the jet for you.

He hung up and looked down at Carly. She looked up at him with sad eyes.

C: Jase, I -

Before she could finish Jason took her face into his hands and leaned down kissing her. The kiss started off tentatively, Carly not sure what exactly to do; her arms remained at her sides as she stood motionless. Then she felt the familiar nibble on her bottom lip, which made her relax and smile. She opened her mouth allowing him full access to her. His tongue played upon hers, tempting her to join him. She finally let go and poured herself into the kiss, her tongue meeting his in their familiar passionate dance. She finally let go releasing all the want and aching she had been holding in for so long into the kiss.

Well I promise to be your best friend

And am I here until the end

Can I be sure I have been waiting for you

And did I say my love is true

Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do

As they parted both breathless, Carly licked her lips. "Wow"!

J: It's always been WOW.

C: Yeah it has, but Jase are you sure?

J: About us? YES!

C: You're going to be giving up a lot.

J: NO! I would have LOST ALOT if you had married Sonny.

C: You rescued me again.

J: We rescued each other tonight.

He took her hand and gave it a big squeeze as they exited the elevator on their way to their new life.

I know the time will disappear

But this love we're building on will always be here

No way that this is sinking sand

On this solid rock we'll stand forever

Well I promise to be your best friend

And am I here until the end

Can I be sure I have been waiting for you

And did I say my love is true

Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do

1 year later:

"Do you Caroline take Jason to be your lawfully wedded husband?" This time the tears she shed were tears of pure happiness.

C: I DO!

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Just as he leaned in to kiss her Michael ran toward his parents, nearly tackling them down. "YEAH!! Mommy and Daddy married!" Carly and Jason both started laughing. Jason scooped up Michael into his arms and both he and Carly planted kisses on each side of Michael's face.

C: That's right Mr. Man. Mommy and daddy are married.

M: Finally, geezh!

Everyone erupted into laughter. Leticia stepped forward taking Michael from Jason.

L: Come on buddy lets go get some cake. We will let your mom and dad be alone.

They watched as Leticia carried Michael out of room, followed by the priest and Reynaldo.

C: Looks like we are all alone.

Jason grabbed her hips pulling her toward him. "Now where were we?"

Carly playfully began placing little kisses over his lips. She alternated between his bottom and upper lip lightly brushing her lips against his. Jason's hands found her face holding her still as he captured her lips in a deep kiss. A low growl escaped his lips as her hands slipped under his tuxedo jacket massaging his butt. He nibbled and sucked her bottom lip teasingly before resting his forehead against hers. "I love you Caroline Morgan."

C: Mmmm I love you to Jase.

Baby I will, I am, I can, I have

Oh, I will, I am, I can, I have

Baby I will, I am, I can, I have, I do
