I’m Movin’ On
Zipping his leather jacket up
tightly he finished securing his duffle bag onto the back of his motorcycle. He
turned and looked over his shoulder at the house he had been living in for the past
2 years. He had finally come to peace with everything and was now ready to face
his future for the first time in his life with hope.
I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my
demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your
moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in
the past for too long
I'm movin' on
He jumped on his bike and started
the engine. The wind had picked up and a storm looked to be brewing in the
distance. He knew he would be facing another type of storm shortly. This storm
though was in the shape of a beautiful blonde with gorgeous brown eyes. He
wasn't sure of what he would find when he returned home, but he was going to
see his best friend again, the same woman who filled his head every night in
his dreams.
I've lived in this place and I know all the
faces
Each one is different but they're always
the same
They mean no harm but it's time that I face
it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where
I don't belong
I'm movin' on
He smiled as he remembered hearing
one of the locals tell him that, "dreams are wishes your heart makes
while you sleep." Funny how one little sentence can change your
entire life. It was those words that led him to see that his life was passing
him by, and that nobility and stubbornness was only guaranteeing him a life of
solitude without the one person that he loved most in this world.
I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently
waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantee's, but I'm
not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing
by
And I have made up my mind that those days
are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I
couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like
I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere
down this road
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
As he pulled away from the curb he
hoped that his journey back home would bring him the completeness he was so
desperately searching for, and prayed that the fiery blonde he loved would be
able to grant him forgiveness.
Port
Charles:
Note: Lucky and Carly live together in her new
house. They run Kelly's for Bobbie. This allows Carly time to be a "school
mom" and devote lots of time to Michael. It also allows Lucky time to
pursue his photography career. Lucky and Carly are both single with no one in
their lives right now. Michael is 6 years old and in first grade. Sonny and
Carly are divorced, and he never adopted Michael.
Carly's
House:
C: Michael Morgan Spencer you get
your little butt down here right now!
Michael stood at the top of the
stairs giving his mom his best "Jason-like" look (the blank
expression like he didn't know what she was talking about). Carly bit her
tongue as she looked up at her son. It amazed her how Michael acted more and
more like Jason every day. Even though Michael wasn't Jason's biological son,
he still mimicked Jason's actions and surprised Carly on a daily basis. She
wasn't sure if it was her imagination or the fact that she missed Jason so much
that influenced her thinking but she swore her son was going to be just like
Jason.
M: Mom, I don't know why you are
yelling, I am right here.
C: Oh my God you are going to be
the death of me yet. You need to eat breakfast so we can leave for school
Michael today is the big bake sale.
M: Okay mom don't freak out on me.
C: Freak out on you? (She rolled
her eyes) LUCKY!!!! (She screamed at the top of her lungs).
Lucky closes his eyes tightly at
the sound of his cousin screaming. "Looks like another one of those
mornings." He appeared at the top of the stairs, scooping up
Michael as he walked by.
L: Are you giving your mom trouble
this morning?
M: No! I think she is stressed
again.
Lucky laughed as he carried
Michael downstairs. He knew all to well how easily "stressed"
Carly got these days. She was taking on a lot of responsibilities and trying to
juggle a lot these past few months, between Kelly's and Michael's school she
was keeping herself very busy. He knew she did this purposefully so that she
didn't have to face other things but it seemed to be working and all he could
do was support her and be here if she needed him.
L: Come on buddy lets go have some
breakfast.
C: Thanks Lucky.
L: You need help getting all those
cookies and cupcakes to school?
C: Actually yes! I would love it
if you could come with me and help me out.
L: No problem.
C: Cool then once we are done we can
ride into Kelly's together.
L: Sounds like a plan.
********************************************
A
few days later in Port Charles:
Looking out over the water she
hugged her knee's tighter to her as the fall wind cut sharply into her. "Winter
is coming," she said aloud.
Even the dark gray sky looked
ominous like a storm was brewing. She closed her eyes and let the wind sting
her face; it was actually a welcome relief away from the craziness of her
world. She loved coming to the docks and grabbing some alone time. Things in
her life were hectic. She smiled though thinking about Michael. He was her life
now. She devoted everything she had into making the perfect life for him, and
with Lucky's help she thought she was doing a pretty good job of it.
Thank god for Lucky. After her
divorce from Sonny and his break up with Elizabeth they became close and saved
each other from themselves. But it was nights like this, when the smell of
winter was in the air and the water was so still and dark that she felt her heart
aching. Sometimes she thought the loneliness was going to consume her. She
still missed him even after two years. So when she felt this coming on she
would always make her way down to the docks and let herself feel for a little
bit before she would shut down again and put her walls back up in place and
invite the numbness back. She rested her head on her knees and closed her eyes
sighing deeply. Tonight was her night to let go and let the ache take over.
_____________________________________
After leaving Luke's and finding
out exactly what had been going on since he was away he knew of only one place
he needed to be to clear his head. He pulled the collar of his leather jacket
up tightly around his neck as the cold wind hit him. "Winter's
coming" he said aloud as he started his walk down to the docks. As
he rounded the corner he immediately felt her presence. It hit him square in
the chest, making him stop.
A sudden chill ran up the back of
her spine. She lifted her head feeling his presence. "No it can't
be, your really loosing it Carly." She put her head back down
trying to shake the crazy feeling she had.
He took a deep breath and
continued on taking a few more steps until he saw her. "Carly,"
he whispered as a small smile played upon his lips. She looked so tiny all
cuddled up on their bench. What was she doing sitting out here all alone in
the cold? He had a million things running threw his mind, where did he begin,
would she be glad to see him, what would he say?
The feeling kept getting stronger
and stronger one she couldn't shake. She didn't let herself believe it could be
him until he sat down right next to her. Without even turning to face him she
let out a big sigh "Hi Jase."
She knew it was him. He
couldn't believe it. "Hi
Carly."
Still keeping her head on her
knees she turned to face him, giving him a small smile. "Jason
Morgan has returned."
J: Yeah I have.
C: It's been a while Jase.
J: Two years.
C: Is that all? Seems longer I
guess. (She said sincerely)
A strong gust of wind came up
blowing her long blonde hair all over her face. He reached up brushing the
strands aside so he could see her big brown eyes. Her head popped up as his
fingers came in contact with her skin. She sat up straight her knees falling
back down. "Your still as beautiful as ever Carly."
C: You back for a visit or on
business?
J: Neither actually. I guess you
could say I finally woke up and I realized some things. Now I just hope I'm not
too late.
Carly remained silent looking at
Jason. What the hell is he up to? Two years no phone calls, no letters,
nothing now he's back and sitting right next to me. Now what?
C: I don't know what you want me
to say Jason.
J: I don't expect you to say
anything Carly. I hoped you would be happy to see me.
C: Even when I don't want to be I
am always happy to see you Jason that will never change.
J: Carly, have you ever just waken
up and realize that the years were just passing you by?
She
smiled sadly. "Oh yeah."
J: Well that's what happened to
me. I realized that I was so tired of fighting all the demons of the past and
so tired of holding onto all the pain and regret. I finally saw that my life
was meaningless and empty because I was trying to live without you.
There was an awkward silence
between them, both just staring at each other, barely believing that they were
actually face-to-face finally.
J: God I really missed you.
He reached out and took her hand
lacing his fingers with hers. She gave him a squeeze and smiled. "Yeah
I missed you too."
They sat for a moment holding
hands and looking up at the sky. They both at the same time said, "Winter
is coming," and laughed. They both knew each other so well; each
of them hated winter and would rather be on a beach somewhere warm and sunny.
He took his other hand and put it
over hers. "I don't want to be without you anymore Carly. I want to
be with you."
God how many years had she been
waiting to hear those words from him, now out of the blue he shows up and says
he wants to be with her...how?
C: How Jase?
J: How what?
She sighed, "How do you
want to be with me? How do you see me in your life?"
J: I want to be in every aspect of
your life. I want us to create a life together.
C: Jason? Her eyes pleaded with
him to say the words.
J: I love you Carly. I want my
best friend back. I want you back in my arms every night and every morning. I
want it all back, everything!
C: Everything? (She smirked) The
crazy plans, the headaches, my wild mood swings? Oh and the new stuff, let's
see...soccer games, PTA meetings, bake sales, book fairs, homework, science
projects? You want it all?
Jason laughed and grabbed her
pulling her into his arms. "I want it ALL!" (He kissed
her forehead). PTA meetings?
C: Yes PTA meetings! (She elbowed
him) Things have changed in my life Jason.
J: So I have been told.
C: Oh?
J: Yeah I went and talked to Luke
when I arrived today. He filled me in on things, said he was proud of you.
She turned in his arms "What?
Luke said he was proud of me? I don't believe it."
J: Its true. He said you were
becoming a real Spencer, and that you had been fighting really hard to make a
good life for Michael.
C: I have. Lucky's been helping
me; I don't know what I would have done without him.
J: You guys are living together?
C: Yup. I bought a house in a nice
quiet neighborhood. Michael loves it.
J: He must be getting so big.
C: You have no idea. He's a blonde
now. His hair turned blonde when he turned 5.
J: I bet he looks just like you.
C: Well, I think so. (She laughed)
J: So things are good?
C: Things with Michael are good.
He is healthy and I hope happy.
J: What about you?
C: Things are looking up.
J: Yeah they sure are.
Not really wanting to bring him up
but dying to know his plans she asked hesitantly "Have you seen
Sonny yet?"
J: No I don't really plan on it
either.
Carly scrunched her eyes giving
him a questioning look. "Why?"
J: Cause I am out. I have been for
the last year. I severed all ties with Sonny.
C: Wow I had no idea. I'm happy
for you Jase.
J: It's not what I thought it
would be like.
C: What do you mean? (She pulled
out of his embrace and faced him. Her hands resting on his leg.)
J: I thought I would be happier,
but once I didn't have the work, I realized how empty my life was and how
meaningless everything was without you.
He turned toward her and took her
face in his hands. "You are the one person I can't live without
Carly. I love you so much."
Her eyes immediately filled with
tears. She was finding it hard to believe this was happening and he was here
with her, wanting to love her. His lips tenderly found hers. He gently
kissed her top then bottom lip. Carly smiled into the kiss. Jason felt her
smile and then her little nibble on his bottom lip. Without hesitation he
opened his mouth and they quickly reacquainted themselves with each other.
Well this is truly it he
thought, same perfect fit, same electricity between them. Carly felt the same
old sparks pass between them. She was home, finally home.
They breathlessly separated,
resting their foreheads against each other, their own special touch. "Wow
you definitely still make my toes curl!" he huskily said.
She sat back looking at him with a
raised eyebrow. "I make your toes curl?"
J: Always did.
C: Really? I never knew that.
J: I was stupid and never let you
know that.
C: What else did you hide from me
Jason Morgan?
J: A lot, cause if I had been
honest with you and how I felt about you in the beginning we would have been
together right from the start.
C: Where have you been and if your
out of the organization what have you been doing?
J: Can I ask you something first?
C: Sure, shoot.
J: Are you happy here?
C: Here in Port Charles?
J: Yeah.
C: Oh yeah it's a real Mecca of
fun and friendly people.
Jason laughed. Carly certainly
didn't loose her sparkling sarcasm over the years.
J: So you would be open to moving?
C: Moving?
J: Yeah I want to get you and
Michael out of here and start our life together someplace else.
C: Where?
J: Florida.
C: On the beach?
J: Where else. You wanted to know
where I have been? I've been in Florida. I bought a house on the beach and
opened a bar and grille.
C: A house on the beach huh?
J: Yup, a big house.
C: Really,..... and you run the
bar and grille?
J: Yup.
C: What is it called?
J: CJ's.
She looked at him in disbelief. "CJ's?"
J: I hoped that one day you would
be by my side running it with me. So I called it CJ's for Carly and Jason's.
C: Awww that is so sweet. Jason
Morgan I never knew you were such a softie.
J: Only when it comes to you.
C: So what if I said I wanted to
stay here.
J: Then I would work things out
and stay here with you.
C: Good answer. When are we
leaving?
J: So is that a yes?
C: Well one condition.
J: What's that?
C: There are two people who have
to approve of this move first.
J: Michael?
C: Yes and Lucky.
J: Lucky?
C: I won't leave Lucky behind. All
three of us; me, Michael and Lucky are a package deal.
J: Well then lets go talk to them.
C: Yeah?
J: Yeah!
He stood up and pulled her up with
him. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and they started walking
"I don't think you know what you're getting yourself into Jase. Your life
will never be the same."
J: My life has been too quiet. I
can't wait to have you and Michael back, my family.
C: We will always be your family
Jase.
J: Thank you Carly.
_______________________________________________
Carly's
house:
Carly opened the door and Jason
followed her inside. He looked around and laughed at all the toys and computer
equipment lying around.
C: What?
J: Some things never change.
C: Oh stop! LUCKY!! (She screamed
at the top of her lungs)
Lucky emerged from the kitchen
with an apron on covered in flour. "I'm right here. Quit with the
screaming." He stopped in his tracks seeing Jason standing right
next to Carly, who appeared to be glowing.
L: Well, well Jason Morgan.
J: Hi Lucky.
C: What the hell happened to you?
J: I was making dinner for us.
C: Oh cool, whatcha making?
L: I was trying to make pizza
dough from scratch. I think we should probably just order out.
C: Jason's back.
L: Yeah I see that. Why?
J: Cause I love Carly and I missed
her and Michael.
L: Well it's been two years. You
just decided you loved her after all these years? I don't think so Morgan, go
peddle your bullshit somewhere else.
C: Lucky!
L: Caroline! Don't tell me you
fell for this shit.
She knew she should have
realized Lucky wasn't going to welcome Jason back with open arms but she
thought he would be happy for her. Tears
filled her eyes and she went running upstairs.
L: Carly! Nice going Morgan, look
what you did.
J: What I did?
L: What you did! Why now Jason?
Why after all these years and all the tears she has cried over you. Why did you
come back now?
J: I couldn't go another day
without her. I love her Lucky.
L: Just like that? You love her?
J: I have always loved her. I was
just stupid and stubborn and didn't admit it. Seeing her with Sonny hurt man.
It took me time to get over that and realize I still loved her and that I need
her. I really love her Lucky.
L: She has been through an awful
lot Jason. I won't let you hurt her again.
J: I won't.
L: We will see. You stay here;
Michael should be getting off the bus soon. I'm going to go talk to Carly.
J: Let her be happy Lucky.
L: That's all I want for her
Jason.
Lucky took his apron off and tossed
it aside and headed upstairs.
______________________________________
Jason walked around the living
room. He immediately spotted all the pictures up on the mantle above the
fireplace. He smiled as he touched the frames of all the pictures. There were
pictures of Michael and Carly at the park, some of Lucky, Michael and Carly.
They looked so happy in them, god he had missed so much. "I won't
miss anymore", he said aloud.
________________________________________
Upstairs:
Lucky
knocked on her door, "Caro?"
C: Go away Lucky.
Lucky opened the door and found
her lying on her bed crying.
L: Oh shit. Please don't cry
Carly. You know I can't stand to see you cry.
He sat down on the bed next to
her. "Hey, I'm sorry. I just don't want you to be hurt again."
She looked up at him with her tear
stained face. "He came back for me Lucky. He loves me. Do you know
how long I have wanted to be with him? All I have ever wanted was to have my
family back. I want Michael to know his dad."
L: So you love him huh? And you
forgive him for leaving you?
She sat up "I would
have left me. God Lucky I had made a total mess out of our lives back then. He
is here now, and he wants us to be a family again."
L: That's what you want?
C: More than anything.
L: Okay then. I will support you.
Carly threw her arms around his
neck hugging him tightly. "I love you!"
L: I love you to.
C: Okay now I have a question for
you.
L: Where are we headed?
C: You knew?
L: I can't imagine either one of
you would want to stay around here. I just figured we were moving out of Port
Charles.
C: We? So you are going to come?
L: You can't get rid of me that
easily Caroline. Of course I will come with you guys. I am going to need to
keep an eye on Jason, and make sure he doesn't fuck this up.
C: You're the best!
L: I know. So where are we going?
C: Florida.
L: Beachfront home I hope?
C: Of course!
L: Cool!
________________________________
Jason's thoughts were interrupted
when the door flew open and a blonde headed little boy came running in
screaming "MOM, LUCKY!"
Jason turned around facing the
little boy he always thought of as his son for the first time in years. God
he was so tall and he had become the spitting image of his mother, with the
same color hair and big brown eyes.
Michael dropped his school bag and
soccer ball and just starred at the tall blonde man in front of him. He
tilted his head a bit looking closely at him. It was his dad. He remembered
now, the nice man who used to tell him stories of far away countries.
Carly and Lucky stopped at the top
of the stairs and watched the scene unfold.
Once he realized it was his dad,
without hesitation he ran over to him. Jason squatted down and caught Michael
in his arms. The little boy wrapped his arms around his neck. "Dad!"
Jason held his son tightly. I>"Yeah
buddy its me." Through tear filled eyes he looked up and locked eyes
with Carly who was smiling and crying at the same time. This was it. He was
right where he was supposed to be with his family.
Carly and Lucky slowly descended
the stairs.
Michael
pulled back. "Did you come back for us dad?"
J: I sure did Michael. I missed
you and your mom so much. I will never let you go again.
M: Promise?
J: I promise.
The little boy smiled widely and
hugged Jason again, whispering, "I love you dad”, in his
ear.
J: Daddy loves you to Michael up
to the stars and around the world.
Jason stood up still holding
Michael in his arms, not wanting to let go of him for anything.
C: Hi Mr. Man.
M: Mom its dad! He's home!
C: I know (she chuckled while
wiping the tears away from her eyes).
She made her way over to her son
and Jason and gave Michael a kiss on his cheek "Lets all sit down
for a minute, Mommy and Daddy need to talk to you."
M:
Okay
Jason and Carly sat down on the
couch, Michael sitting on Jason's lap still clinging to his dad not wanting to
let him go.
M: Daddy's back Mom. He promised
not to leave us again.
C: I know sweetie. Daddy wants us
to come live with him in his house on the beach.
M: Where there is water and sand?
C: Yes, but we would have to leave
here and move to Florida where daddy's house is. How do you feel about leaving
your school and friends?
M: Is Lucky coming with us?
Lucky came and sat down across
from them on a chair. "You bet I am buddy."
M: Can grandma and Uncle Luke come
and visit us?
J: Of course they can as often as
you want.
M: Okay, can I bring my toys?
C: Yes we will bring all your
stuff with us, and you will have a new room at daddy's house.
M: We can play in the sand and go
swimming?
J: Everyday if you want buddy.
M: I want to go now.
C: Well in a few days sweetie.
Mommy, daddy and Lucky have packing to do first.
M: Okay!
L: Good now that's settled lets
order pizza!
Michael jumped up off Jason's lap
and ran over to Lucky pouncing on him. "YEAH!",
Carly leaned back into Jason's
arms "Well looks like were heading to Florida."
Jason squeezed her tightly "Carly
I can't believe he remembered me and accepted me back without question."
C: Kids have an amazing way of
loving us so purely. He loves you Jase you're his dad.
Jason's eyes filled with tears
once again. "I am his dad."
C: Yeah baby you always have been.
She leaned in and gave him a
tender kiss on the lips and wiped away his tears with her fingertip. "Thank
you Carly."
Carly looked into his eyes and
knew how much this reunion meant to him and how hard the words were for him to
say. She simply smiled "Your welcome Jase."
L: All right you two enough of the
mushy stuff. How are we getting down to Florida and when are we leaving?
M: Yeah, when we going?
Jason looked at Carly who just
shrugged "Your call Jase."
J: Well we can hire people to pack
and move your stuff down, that way you just need to pack the essentials.
C: That will work.
J: You want to fly or drive down?
C: Let's drive down. It will give
us some time to spend together.
Jason
kissed her forehead. "I like the way you think."
L: Well I for one am not spending
hours in a car with the two of you kissing all the time.
J: Actually I thought maybe you
could drive my motorcycle down and meet us there.
Carly's mouth dropped open. She
knew how much Jason's bike meant to him. It took a lot for him to ask Lucky to
drive it.
L: Trying to catch flies cous?
She closed her mouth quickly then
stuck her tongue out at him. "Shut up!"
L: So I can drive your cycle down?
J: That would help me out, that
way Carly, Michael and I can drive down our selves.
L: Yeah that will work for me.
J: Thanks Lucky.
L: No problem.
M: Can I go ride with Lucky?
Jason, Lucky and Carly all said "NO!"
at the same time.
M: Geesh okay.
C: Sorry Mr. Man, but mommy and
daddy want you to come with us so we can spoil you.
M: OKAY! (He said with a huge
smile on his face)
The doorbell rang interrupting
their planning session. Michael jumped up running over to answer the door,
revealing the pizza deliveryman.
M:
"PIZZA'S HERE!"
Carly scrunched her eyes at
Michael's loud scream. While Lucky joked with Jason, "Can you guess
who he learned that from?" Carly picked up on the inference and
threw a pillow at Lucky.
C: Go pay for dinner!
L: See the abuse I take?
____________________________________________
The day was finally here. She was
leaving Port Charles. She walked around her house one last time looking to make
sure they had gotten all of Michael's toys and that she had packed all her
pictures. She walked over to the patio door and looked out back. She smiled
remembering the day Lucky had taught Michael to ride his bike.
Jason walked back into the house
after securing Michael in the car. Lucky was keeping him entertained so that he
could come back and get Carly. She looked lost in thought as he came up behind
her and kissed her bare shoulder. "You okay?"
Carly smiled and leaned back into
him, "Yeah just revisiting some old memories."
J: I can't wait to make our own
new memories together.
C: Mmmm I love the sounds of that.
Jason moved along side of her
taking her hand in his "I love you Carly."
C: Well let's get this show on the
road shall we?
Jason kissed her forehead and led
her out toward the SUV. She stopped pausing momentarily to take a look back at
the house she had called home for the past few years. There had been so many
good and bad times spent there, ones she would never forget. But now it was
time to move on. She was finally ready to put all the regrets of the past
behind her and move on to a future with Jason and her family.
I've dealt with my ghosts and faced all my
demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your
moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in
the past for too long
I'm movin' on
Jason opened the door to the SUV
for her and she jumped in and buckled up. As Jason closed the door she
whispered, "Never look back Carly" and smiled. Lucky
jumped on Jason's bike and started the engine, ready to follow them. Jason
climbed in the drivers seat and fastened his seat belt. He rested his hand on
her knee, "Ready?"
C: I have been ready for this day
forever. Let's get out of here Jase.
J: You got it baby.
I've lived in this place and I know all the
faces
Each one is different but they're always
the same
They mean no harm but it's time that I face
it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where
I don't belong
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
At last I can see life has been patiently
waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantee's, but I'm
not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing
by
And I have made up my mind that those days
are gone
I sold what I could and packed what I
couldn't
Stopped to fill up on my way out of town
I've loved like I should but lived like
I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere
down this road
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
I'm movin' on
A
Week Later in Florida:
After a few days of awkwardness
everyone had settled into their new lives together. Jason and Carly were
becoming closer than ever. Michael loved his new house and the fact that he
could play on the beach anytime he wanted and had his mom and dad with him
everyday and night. Lucky and Jason were forming a new friendship and were
working together at Jason's bar and grille CJ's.
Carly climbed out of her hot bath
and wrapped herself up in a towel. She walked down the hallway and stopped at
Michael's door carefully nudging it open. A smile spread across her face at the
sight of her son fast asleep clutching the new dolphin stuffed animal Jason had
gotten him.
She quietly closed the door back
up and made her way down to the bedroom, where she collapsed. As soon as her
head hit the pillow, the exhaustion washed over her. The last few days had been
so hectic with the drive down here, the unpacking and settling in and now she
finally had some quiet time to herself. Jason and Lucky were working at the bar
and her plan to wait up for Jason was totally falling apart as another yawn
escaped her mouth. "I will just close my eyes for a few
minutes," she reassured herself as she turned onto her side and
snuggled into her pillow.
Jason arrived home to a dark and
quiet house. The minute he walked through the door he smiled at the wonderfully
warm feeling that came over him. This house was now truly a home. He had his
family back and his life just beginning. He walked upstairs and first stopped
to check on Michael. He kissed his little boy on the forehead and headed off to
find Carly.
As he entered their room he
quickly spotted her curled up on the bed. As he got closer he saw she was still
wearing a towel and her hair was still wet. He smiled realizing she must have
been exhausted and fallen asleep. He got undressed quickly then leaned down and
placed a soft kiss on her bare shoulder. He turned down the covers on his side
of the bed and picked her up and placed her down on the bare sheets, with her
wet hair flowing down over her shoulders she looked like a mermaid. Without
hesitation he removed her towel revealing her beautiful body. "God
you are so beautiful Carly, you always take my breath away." He
placed the covers over her then crawled in bed next to her snuggling up as
close as possible to her, his face buried in the crook of her neck. "I'm
home baby."
Carly stirred slightly, a soft
moan escaping her lips. Jason wanted her to wake up, he needed her so much and
it had been so long since they had made love. He began running his hands up and
down her body, trying to coax her out of her slumber.
J: I need you Carly.
His warm hands on her skin sent an
instant charge throughout her body. She fluttered her eyes open and immediately
felt Jason pressed against her calling her name. She shifted turning over to
face him. "Hey you."
J: Hey yourself. I'm sorry I woke
you but I needed you.
C: I tried to wait up for you but
I guess I fell asleep.
Feeling his bare skin against hers
she realized that hello she was naked, they were both naked in bed together
in each other's arms! She stiffened up a bit, which he picked up on
immediately. "What's wrong Carly?"
C: I'm naked! You're naked!
J: Yeah we are (he chuckled). Baby
you fell asleep in a wet towel, so I took it off and put you in bed. Why are
you getting modest on me now?
Carly
laughed softly. "No it's just that well, it's been a long time
Jase."
Jason smiled and tucked some stray
hairs behind her ear. "We don't have to do anything if you're not
ready. I know it has been a long time since we have been together, but god when
I touch you it feels like we were never apart."
She just melted upon hearing
his words. What other man would be so understanding and caring with her
especially when they were both naked in the same bed? Okay how could she have
even been nervous, this was Jase the man who loved her completely for herself,
no other man had been able or willing to do that, just Jason, always Jason.
Without any
further hesitation she traced the outline of his lips with her fingertip "I
love you so much Jase. I want you to make love to me."
J: I love to Carly, and god I've
missed you so much baby.
He leaned in and began placing
soft little kisses on her lips, alternating between her top and bottom lips
while his hands roamed her silky skin. His touch and kisses were teasing and
Carly began wanting and needing more as her body ached for him. She reached
down and found his already hard shaft and began lightly stroking it. A growl
escaped his mouth and played upon her lips as they kissed.
Jason rolled her over onto her
back and began worshiping her body with his hands and lips. His hands smoothed
up her arms gently placing them above her head. He locked eyes with her and
smiled then began his journey downward. His tongue swirled around one of her
nipples followed by his warm lips sucking and nibbling as it hardened under his
touch. Enjoying the reaction Carly was giving him he moved onto her other
breast giving it the same attention with his mouth while his hand still
massaged the other.
As her breathing become more
ragged he slowly moved down her body, his hands caressing her stomach and his
lips placing light butterfly kisses around her belly button. His hot breath
played upon her sensitive lower stomach and she felt like she was going to
explode any second if he didn't enter her soon. "Jase baby please,
we can play later, right now I need you inside me."
She touched his face, he looked up
at her smiling wickedly "We have all night Carly, just relax I want
to have a little more fun." He ran his hands down to her inner
thigh parting her legs, and making room for himself. She squirmed with
anticipation, his hands resting on her inner thighs trying to steady her as his
tongue made contact with her hot throbbing clit. Her hips bucked up against him
her screams filled the air. He smiled proudly, thrilled to be having such an
effect on her. He opened her up a bit more and his tongue went to work, diving
deep into her hot center. "Oh God Yes!" she cried out
between pants, her fingers finding their way into his short spiky hair, urging
him on. He licked and lapped her juices then moved up a bit sucking and
nibbling on her clit. He alternated between the two until her cries became
closer and louder. Jason increased his pace until she shattered around him,
throbbing and bucking against his mouth.
At that moment he was so
incredibly turned on he needed to be inside her and feel her throb around him.
He kissed his way up her trembling body so that he was resting on top of her
and thrust into her quickly unable to wait any longer. Her eyes shot open and
she threw her head back as his large hard shaft opened her up plunging deep
into her.
She cried out "JASE,
AHHHHH" as her body was still throbbing and on fire from Jason's
marvelous touch. He tried to control himself wanting to hold out as long as
possible but the way she was pulsating around him only fueled his desire more
and he pumped in and out of her recklessly. She wrapped her legs around his
waist loving everything he was giving her.
J: OH GOD BABY! You're so tight,
such a perfect fit!
Her nails dug into his back then
moved down to his ass, squeezing it hard. A loud growl came from the back of
his throat as she coaxed him on. "Faster Jase, that's it, oh oh
ahhhhhh". She climaxed again; the high taking over she let go and
gave herself over to him. He pounded harder and faster into her aching for his
own release. Opening her eyes she watched him nearing his climax and began
tightening around him, drawing him into her further. She released and then
tightened again sending him over the edge screaming out her name "CARLY
OH GOD BABY" as he exploded inside her. He thrust a few more times
slowly emptying everything he had into her, grunting in complete satisfaction.
His body suddenly exhausted he
collapsed on top of her, both of them trying to catch their breath. Their
bodies covered in a thin film of sweat they clung together, Jason still buried
inside her completely spent.
C: My god Jase that was ....
J: Incredible!
C: Oh my god beyond incredible. I
had forgotten how amazing you were.
J: You're pretty amazing yourself.
We were pretty stupid being apart for so long weren't we?
C: Oh yeah. We could have been
doing this every day for the last few years.
J: Very stupid.
He shifted to move but she held
him in place. "No stay this feels so perfect." He
smiled kissing her deeply, enjoying just being so complete with her. "I
love you so much Carly."
C: Mmmm I love you to Jase.
J: Marry me.
C: What?
J: I want you to be my wife. I
want this to be forever with us.
C: We will be forever no matter
what.
J: Then lets make it official. I
want our children to see how much I love their mother.
C: Our children?
J: Yeah our children. Michael and
our new baby.
C: Baby?
J: The baby we are going to create
tonight if we haven't already.
C: Oh so you're trying to get me
pregnant.
J: Hell yeah!
She giggled as his lips found that
place behind her ear that drove her crazy. "Oh Jase".
She felt him start to harden
inside her again and she began to rotate her hips building him up more.
J: Perfect fit Carly. We were
always a perfect fit.
She became flush again, her body
starting to ignite again. "Say it Carly. Say you will marry
me."

Bar & Grille 3 years later:
Carly walked in carrying Gillian
in her arms. Gillian spotted her "Uncle" Lucky behind the bar and
squirmed her way out of her mom's arms. The little blonde headed girl ran right
over to Lucky.
G: Uncle Lucky!!
Lucky's face immediately lit up
when he saw "Gilli" running over to him. He bent down and scooped her
up plopping her on the bar.
L: How's the Gilli-Bean today?
G: We went to the zoo, and I saw
the elephants and moneys.
L: Wow! So you had lots of fun
huh?
G: Yeah and mommy bought me ice
cream.
L: I can see it was chocolate.
(Lucky laughed at the big chocolate stain down the front of her shirt)
C: But she had fun!
G: Where's daddy?
L: He's in the office out back.
G: Can I go get him mommy?
Carly
lifted her off the bar "Sure sweetie let's go get daddy."
G: No me do.
C: Okay, but mommy's gonna walk
you to the door.
G: Okay then I surprise daddy.
C: Yes sweetie you can surprise
daddy.
Carly carried Gillian in her arms
to the back and let her down in front of Jason's door. She gave Gilli a kiss on
the cheek and whispered, "Okay sweetie go surprise daddy. Mommy will
be out front with Uncle Lucky."
G: Kay mommy.
Carly headed back up front
laughing as she heard Gillian burst into Jason's office.
G:
DADDY, DADDY!!!
The little girl ran right into her
dad's office and jumped onto Jason's lap. An immediate smile lit up his face as
his little girl hugged him tightly. "How's daddy's Gilli bean
today?"
G: Mommy and I went to the zoo!
J: Did you and mommy have fun?
G: The best fun!
The little girl sat on her dad's
lap telling him all about her day and everything she saw at the zoo. Jason sat
and listened intently as he watched his beautiful little girl become so
animated as she told him of all the animals. He loved her so much, and she
reminded him so much of Carly with her big brown eyes and dramatic love for
life. He had never been happier in his life.
__________________________
Back
out Front:
Carly sat at the
bar picking at the orange slices and cherries that Lucky was cutting up for
drinks for the night. He swatted her hand as she reached for another orange
slice "Hello these are for the drinks tonight."
C: Oh lighten up will ya. I'm
hungry.
L: Well then tell Mel to make you
something, he is right back in the kitchen.
C: Nah - Oh Lucky turn this song
up!
L: Oh brother not this song again.
C: Just turn it up loud so Gilli
can hear it. It's our favorite!
He slowly turned up the song as he
rolled his eyes. Carly and Gilli were constantly blaring this song all
throughout the house and dancing every chance they. "God damn
Shakira song again", he muttered under his breath.
Carly jumped up and began dancing
around the room shaking her hips and singing. "Whenever Wherever" had
become known and the "belly dance song" in the Morgan
household. Gilli had become so captivated by the song and video that both she
and had begun taking belly dancing lessons.
As soon as Gillian heard the song
she screamed and squirmed off of Jason's lap "Daddy the belly
song!" Before Jason could even hear the music she was off his lap
and running out the door. She was her own little force of nature just like her
mom, and Jason loved every minute of it.
Gilli ran out to find her mom
dancing around and she quickly joined her mom, shaking her little hips and tush
as she sang at the top of her lungs. Lucky watched the two of them out dancing
and singing and just shook his head and laughed.
G: Mommy I's belly dancing!
C: Yes baby girl you are! Shake
that tush Gilli-bean!
Jason had made his way out front
and stopped in his tracks. There they were "his girls",
with their faces lit up and their long blonde hair swirling all around them as
they laughed and danced. He couldn't imagine being any happier than he was
right then and there.
Gilli spotted her dad quickly and
ran up to him dragging him out onto the floor with them. "Dance with
us daddy."
Jason could never
say no to either one of his girls, so off he went with Gilli's hand in his. She
put her little feet up on top of Jason's and they danced together, Carly joined
in doing her best belly dancer impersonation, swirling and shaking her hips
around them. Gilli held her arms up to Jason, who picked her right up and
twirled her around.
G: Daddy isn't mommy beautiful?
She watched her mom with such awe.
J: Yes she is, and you my little
Gilli-bean are just as beautiful as your mom.
G: I love you daddy!
J: I love you to Gilli up to the
stars and around the world.
The song ended and Carly joined
Gilli and Jason in a group hug. A bit flushed and out of breath, Jason noticed
she was just glowing. She gave Jason light peck on the lips "Hi
baby. We missed you today."
J: I missed my girls. What's on
the agenda for tonight?
C: Well Michael is at a sleep over
tonight, so it's just the three of us.
Lucky saw the extra sparkle in
Carly's eyes today and thought he would give them some time alone.
L: Hey Gilli want to go to dinner
and then see that new Peter Pan movie with me tonight?
G: Yeah! Can I mommy, daddy
please?
C: Lucky you sure you want to do
that? She hasn't had a nap today, and she is wound for sound.
Jason thought it was a wonderful
idea, he wanted to get his wife alone for a little while so he could find out
what was going on with her, something was up he just knew it. "I
think Gilli will be a good girl for Lucky won't you sweetie?"
G: Yes daddy! I be a good girl.
C: Okay, okay, three against one I
know when I am beat.
She kissed Gilli on the cheek "You
have fun Gilli-bean, and be good for Lucky."
G: I am always good mommy.
Carly and Jason laughed as they
watched her scoot off with Lucky.
Jason grabbed Carly's hips turning
her to face him "So Mrs. Morgan, am I gonna get a proper kiss
hello?"
Carly laughed as he pulled her
tightly against him, his lips crashing down upon hers in a searing kiss. He
nibbled on her bottom lip, asking for entrance, while his hand ran across the
bare skin of her back. She smiled immediately opening her mouth to him,
welcoming him; her tongue darted out to meet his. They kissed like teenagers
until they were both breathless. Pulling apart slowly they rested their
foreheads against each other's. Jason again noticed how especially glowing
Carly looked, her eyes were just sparkling like stars.
J: So how are you feeling?
Carly pulled back looking at him
curiously "I feel good Jase."
J: Are you tired from your long
day?
C: A little bit but you take our
three-year-old daughter to the zoo and see if you're not tired. (She laughed)
J: You hungry?
C: I'm starving - why you gonna
buy me dinner?
J: Of course what would you like?
(He was trying hard to look for signs as he asked her.)
It didn't take her long to reply "Oh
god how about Hawaiian Pizza?"
J: The one with Pineapple?
C: Yummm yes that's the one.
J: I
KNEW IT!!
Carly raised her eyebrow at him,
crossing her arms over her chest. "Knew what? What the fuck is up
with you tonight Jason?"
In a sweet gentle coaxing tone he
asked her "Carly is there anything you want to tell me?"
She just looked at him with a
blank look on her face. "Ah, NO!"
J: Are you sure? I mean you don't
want to tell me some important news?
C: Yes I am sure. Okay Jase you're
off your rocker tonight, hello (she waved her hand in front of his face) what
is going on?
J: Carly you have all the signs.
C: Jason (she sighed exasperated)
what are you talking about signs? Signs of what?
J: Baby have you looked in the
mirror today? Your glowing I mean you are so amazingly beautiful you just have
this glow about you, and your tired, and the pizza thing. You only want
Hawaiian Pizza when your ....
C: Pregnant? (She whispered
stunned)
J: You mean you don't know?
C: Well no I don't know - I would
have told you.
She sat down in a nearby chair
lost deep in thought. Things had been so hectic lately with the kids and
just everyday life that she really had even thought about it. If she was
truthful with herself she had been unusually tired lately and well there were
the cravings. But pregnant? They hadn't planned on another baby, although
Gillian was at a good age to have another brother or sister.
Jason knelt down in front of her
resting his hands on her knees. "Carly?"
A smile slowly spread across her
lips as the idea of a new baby warmed her heart and soul. "I think
we may be pregnant Jase."
Words couldn't express how
excited he was at the possibility of a new baby coming into their lives. These
last few years spent as a dad and family man had been the most incredible years
of his life. He truly believed he was put on this earth to love Carly and to be
a father.
He simply took her face into his
hands and kissed her so lovingly and with so much passion Carly's heart and
soul just soared from the contact of his warm lips on hers. Both rested their
foreheads against each other's smiling widely.
J: Well there is only one way to
find out for sure.
He pulled back and stood up
holding out his hand to her. "Come on let's go pick up a test and
find out."
C: Yeah?
J: Yeah I can't wait to find out.
I know I shouldn't say it out loud but God Carly I would love to have another
baby.
Carly raised her hand and touched
his face tenderly, "Me too Jase."
J: Okay let's get out of here.
C: Can we still get pizza?
He laughed (oh yeah she was
pregnant, the food thing had already begun) "Of course. We can
grab a pizza after we stop at the drug store."
C: Thanks Jase.
He wrapped his arms around her
from behind resting his hands gently on her stomach. "I love you
Carly."
C: Love you to baby.
______________________________________
An
hour later at the Morgan household:
Jason and Carly both sat on the
bed in their bedroom anxiously awaiting the set timer to go off. They held
hands as they watched and listened to the "tick-tick-tick" of the
timer. The buzzer went off and Jason was the first to stand up. He looked at
her with trepidation "Carly you coming?"
C: You look Jase. I'm too nervous.
Jason didn't hesitate and entered
the bathroom. He picked up the pregnancy stick and saw the big plus sign clear
as day in the little box. "YES!" Carly heard him and
jumped up off the bed and ran into the bathroom. Jason's face was lit up as he
held the stick up for her to see. "Were pregnant!"
C: Ahhh!!!
She jumped into his arms and clung
tightly to him as he twirled her around. "A new baby Jase."
He put her down and touched her
stomach lovingly. It still amazed him how miraculous a baby really was and
he couldn't wait for the late night drives to get whatever Carly was craving at
the moment, oh and the sex. Pregnancy sex. He smiled wickedly as he remembered
how insatiable Carly was during her pregnancy with Gillian.
She caught the wicked grin on his
face and scrunched her eyes at him. "What's that grin for?"
J: Just recalling a few things
about your pregnancy with Gillian.
Carly remembered a lot about
that pregnancy. Jason had been incredible. He was so supportive of her and oh
the sex. Pregnancy sex.
The same wicked grin came over her face.
Their eyes met and at the same
time they said excitedly "pregnancy sex!" Carly ran her
hands up his chest as he drew her flush against him.
C: So you remember?
J: Oh yeah. I remember what a wild
cat you were.
Carly giggled as she remembered
that indeed she was wild. She could never get enough of her husband while she
carried Gillian. "That best not be a complaint Morgan."
J: Are you kidding me baby? I love
when your hormones go crazy.
He leaned in and began kissing her
neck, his tongue circling lazily behind her ear. She tilted her head and felt
herself tingling as his warm breath danced against her skin. "Oh god
Jase."
J: How long do we have before the
kids get home?
C: At least 4 hours considering we
are talking about Lucky and Gilli.
J: Only 4 hours?
C: We better start celebrating Mr.
Morgan.
J: My thoughts exactly Mrs.
Morgan.
_______________________________________
9 months later:
J: Come on baby push, you can do
it.
Carly grabbed his t-shirt as the
overwhelming pain washed over her. "You are never touching me again!
AHHHH!!"
Dr: You're almost there Mrs.
Morgan one more push should do it.
C: It better!! AHHHH!!
She took one last deep breath and
pushed with everything she had left. She heard the cries of her new little one
as the baby hit the air. She fell back exhausted trying to catch her breath.
She closed her eyes and felt Jason kiss her forehead as she tried to fight the
weight of her eyelids.
D: Congratulations you have a
beautiful little girl.
J: A girl. Carly we have a little
girl!
She sleepily fluttered her eyes
open and smiled lazily at him. "A girl." She couldn't
keep her eyes open and gave into slumber falling asleep with a big smile on her
face. Jason leaned down and kissed her lips lightly and whispered, "You
sleep baby. We will both be waiting for you when you wake up."
A few hours later Carly opened her
eyes to see Jason holding their new little baby girl in his arms with a proud
daddy smile on his face.
C: Hi daddy.
J: Hi baby. She is so beautiful
Carly.
He got up and placed their little
girl into her arms and kissed Carly softly on the lips. "I love you
so much Carly. Thank you for our daughter."
C: I couldn't have done it without
you Jase. I love you too.
The baby who had been sleeping
opened her eyes to look up at her mommy the moment Jason placed her in Carly's
arms. Tears ran down her face as she saw for the first time her daughter's
bright blue eyes looking up at her. "She has your eyes Jase."
J: And your cute little nose and
chin.
Jason sat on the bed next to his
wife and new little girl. The pride and joy he was feeling, he couldn't put
into words. All he could do was smile and fall more in love with his new little
girl and his beautiful and amazing wife.
Carly inspected every inch of her
daughter from her head to her tiny little toes. "She's perfect
Jase."
J: That she is, just like her mom.
C: So we going with the name we
decided earlier?
J: I think so.
C: Me too, it's a perfect fit.
Carly looked at Jason and nodded
as they both spoke in unison. "Welcome to the world Reiley
Morgan".
