With Out Your Love

 

What if my heart

Had walked right past you

What if my eyes

Had never asked you

To come and take the chains

That kept me weighted down

If you never saved me

Oh, I know I'd still be

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, I'd be lost

Searching for you

Heaven would be out of reach

My soul left incomplete

That's where Id be

Without your love

You're the reason

That I feel so safe

The way you hold me

Holds my heart in place

I'm just thankful to be

Where I am right now

Without your arms around me

I'd be where you found me

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, Id be lost

Searching for you

Heaven would be out of reach

My soul left incomplete

That's where Id be

Without your love

Ahh, ah

Ahh, ah

Oh, I would be

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, Id be lost

Searching for you

Heaven would be out of reach

My soul left incomplete

That's where Id be

Without your love

That's where Id be

With out your love

Background:

Carly had betrayed Sonny, he threw her out of his life. He is staying with Angel and they are growing very close. Sonny does not have any guards on Carly. AJ is suing Carly for custody of Michael. To keep Michael safe Carly has him hidden on an island with Leticia. No one has heard anything from Jason, he is still out of the country on Sonny's orders. This story picks up where Sorel has broken into the penthouse and has taken Carly hostage. Mike was at Sonny's warehouse and overheard his men talking about how Sorel had Carly. He went to tell Sonny, since he knew he was staying with Angel. Sonny turned Mike away, not wanting to listen to what he had to say and not believing him. He refused to give Carly any help. Frustrated Mike returned to the warehouse to find Johnny.

Warehouse:

M: Johnny I need your help, Sorel's got Carly.

J: I just found out, I am going over to talk to Sonny now.

M: Well you can save yourself a trip, I just came from talking to him. As far as he is concerned Carly is on her own.

J: What? He wouldn't just let her die.

M: Johnny, my son isn't himself now, he has shut himself down and wants nothing to do with Carly. But we need to help her.

J: I will do my best Mike, but none of the other men will help me out, they are still angry about Carly's betrayal of the boss.

M: Johnny can you get a hold of Jason? He needs to know and to be here for her.

J: Yeah. I don't know why I didn't think of that sooner. I will call him. In the meantime Mike the best thing you can do right now is to stay put and don't tell anyone about this. If Sorel knows Sonny won't come for Carly he will kill her, and if the police enter the picture she really won't have a chance.

M: Okay Johnny, I will try to work on Sonny some more, just help her man.

J: Forget him Mike, he can only hurt her chances right now. Jason will help her.

PENTHOUSE:

Carly has been held by Sorel for 2 days now. She has been beaten and she has cuts all over her arms and hands from when Sorel threw a glass across the room at her and the shards of glass cut her badly. She has been trying to convince Sorel that Sonny will not come for her. She knows deep down that it is really over between them and that he has abandoned her. Her only fear now is what will happen to Michael if she dies. She did have it in her will that Jason was to raise Michael. She wanted him with his one and only true father.

S: Well Mrs. Corinthos your time is running out. If your husband doesn't make an appearance soon it looks like you will be ALL MINE.

C: Have you not been listening to me- hello waco wake up and smell the coffee. Its been two days now Sonny ain't coming, and I sure as hell aren't going to be yours, so just kill me and get it over with.

S: Not so fast, I WILL HAVE YOU whether you are willing or not. I want EVERYTHING of Sonny's.

Port Charles Airport:

Jason exits the plane setting foot in Port Charles once again. He had never planned on coming back here, but when he got the call from Johnny, nothing could keep him away. When Johnny told him that Sorel had Carly he felt his whole world come crashing down around him. Carly still owned his heart, he came to realize she always would, and to think of that bastard Sorel with her killed him. If anything ever happened to Carly he didn't think he would be able to go on.

Johnny: Thank god you're here Jason.

J: How long has he had her?

Johnny: It's been two days now. Word is he's waiting for Sonny to show himself.

J: What the fuck has been going on here Johnny? Wait never mind you can fill me in later. Lets get over there and kill that bastard like Sonny should done have months ago. This has gone on way to long.

PENTHOUSE:

Carly is scrambling away from Sorel, she knows exactly what his intentions are. He is relentless and corners her. She tries to fight him but he backhands her sending her flying backward into the wall hitting her back hard, knocking the wind out of her.

S: You want this rough, it will be my pleasure baby. Lets take this party upstairs I want to have Sonny Corinthos wife in his bed.

Fear takes over and Carly turns inward letting her mind soar to a place of safety. He may take her body but he wouldn't take her mind or soul. He grabbed her by the hair and started dragging her up the stairs

Jason and Johnny exit the elevator and can hear Carly screaming. They pull their guns and screw their silencers on. Jason slowly turns the knob to the penthouse, seeing Sorel dragging Carly up the stairs.

J: I want him dead Johnny.

Johnny nods in approval. They storm into the penthouse taking Sorel by surprise. Sorel holds Carly in front of him as a shield at the top of the stairs.

S: Well, well Morgan, I see you came to rescue your whore. Sorry but this little slut is mine now.

Jason looked at Carly, her face all bruised and bloody. She wouldn't look at him, which really scarred him.

J: You know you will never get out of here alive. Let her go and I will stay here with you.

S: I have no use for you Morgan, I wanted Corinthos, but he doesn't seem to care about this lovely creature.

He began running his hands over her breast and stomach, and she starts sobbing louder.

Jason made a move toward him, Sorel held the gun tighter to Carly's head as Jason kept approaching. Johnny moved around looking for an open shot.

S: BACK UP or she dies right in front of you Morgan.

Jason slowly moved backwards.

J: Carly look at me baby. LOOK AT ME!!

She heard his voice and came back to the situation. She looked and saw Jason standing before her with fear in his eyes.

C: Jase.

J: I'm here Carly. You stay strong for me and Michael. I love you Carly.

C: I love you Jase.

S: How touching, to bad you two will never make it out of here alive.

Carly suddenly gathered up what ever energy she had left and elbowed Sorel in the stomach and stomped on his foot causing him to break his grasp on her, and drop his gun. He quickly backhanded her sending her flying down the stairs.

Johnny and Jason quickly unloaded their guns into Sorel killing him. Jason ran over to Carly who was bleeding and unconscious taking her into his arms.

J: Carly wake up baby, please stay with me. Don't leave me now.

Johnny: Boss?

J: We got to get her to the hospital- bring the car around. Lock this place up until we can get a clean up crew in here.

Jason carefully scooped her up into his arms and carried her down to the limo.

J: I can't loose you Carly. I need you baby.

What if my heart

Had walked right past you

What if my eyes

Had never asked you

To come and take the chains

That kept me weighted down

If you never saved me

Oh, I know Iıd still be

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, Id be lost

General Hospital:

It had been an hour now since Jason brought Carly in. Bobbie had met them there and followed Carly when they took her into surgery. No one had come out of the operating room yet and he was going crazy. When he saw her at the top of the stairs with Sorelıs hands all over her and the fear in her eyes. God if anything happens to her. She was his whole world.

Mike entered the waiting room and saw Jason sitting on the floor slumped against the wall with his head in his hands. He walked over to Jason putting his hand on his shoulder.

M: How is she Jason?

Jason looked up at Mike with tears in his eyes.

M: She's a fighter Jason.

J: I'm afraid she might be all out of fight Mike, she looked so weak.

M: Is there any word yet?

J: No she has been in surgery for an hour now.

Johnny approaches the two of them.

Johnny: Boss.

J: Yeah Johnny.

Johnny: I need to talk to you for a moment.

Jason got up and walked out of the room into the hallway.

Johnny: The cleanup crew came in and took care of everything.

J: Good. Johnny tell me what the hell has been going on here. What the hell has Sonny been doing?

Johnny: Sonny threw Carly out months ago. He pulled all the guards off her, and threaten to kill me if I went against him. I'm sorry I failed her.

J: Johnny you came threw for her tonight. Where is Michael?

Johnny: Carly has him hidden somewhere away from AJ. He's been fighting her for custody. He even won visitation rights.

J: What the hell is happening? I thought by leaving she would be happy and safe. I gave up everything and yet she is in there fighting for her life because I failed to protect her.

Jason closed his eyes pinching the bridge of his nose. J: Where the hell is he Johnny? Where is he while Carly is in that operating room fighting to live. Where is Sonny?

Johnny: He has been staying with a women, Angel Ellis.

J: He threw Carly out and left her unprotected so he could shack up with another women. THAT BASTARD!

Jason turned around and punched the wall in total anger and hatred. The pain filled him and he fed off of it. With total control and an expressionless face he turned back to Johnny.

J: I want AJ dead. Make it look like a car accident, cut his brakes or something, I really don't care just make sure he dies. Then I want you to go to this Angels house and bring Sonny here. I want him to see her and see what he did.

Johnny didn't say anything he merely nodded and exited while he could.

Bobbie came out of the operating room with tears in her eyes. Jason just looked at her seeing the tears her eyes he struggled to breathe, as the pain cut threw him like a knife.

J: No Bobbie, please no.

B: Jason she made it through the surgery, we lost her twice on the table but we got her back. I'm not sure if she is going to make it.

J: But she is alive.

B: Yes, just barely but she's still with us.

Bobbie went over and hugged Jason as they both cried.

J: I cant loose her Bobbie. I love her.

B: I know you do Jason. We need to be her strength now Jason. She needs us.

Bobbie pulled away from him.

B: Jason she was so emotionally and physically wrecked already before this happened, her body is so weak and she had extensive internal bleeding. We were able to stop the bleeding but one of her lungs was punctured in the fall. She has chest tube in now to help her breath. The next few hours are critical.

J: Can I see her?

B: I don't know if you are prepared to see her like she is Jason. What you'll see isn't our Carly. You sure you want to see her like this?

J: She's everything to me Bobbie, I know I have failed her in the past, but I'm done running and I intend to be here for her. I need her to know that I love her.

B: Okay. Their getting her settled into ICU. Lets go see if she can have visitors.

Intensive Care Unit:

B: Melissa how is she doing?

M: She's stable for the moment. I'm sorry Bobbie, if I can do anything please let me know.

B: Just take good care of my daughter.

M: I will.

B: Jason let me go in first and I will come out and get you.

Jason nodded with a slight sad smile.

He waited outside and began pacing. This should not have happened. He had made so many mistakes in his life, but pushing Carly away and convincing her to marry Sonny was the biggest mistake he ever made, one that he has regretted every day of his life. Luke entered the unit and came over to him.

L: Why is my niece lying in there Morgan? Did you come here to finish her off for your boss.

J: Luke if I had known what was going on I would have been here sooner. I had no idea Sonny had left her unprotected.

L: You mean the big boss man didn't fill you in on the way he threw his wife out like the trash. Why doesn't that surprise me. So the question now is what are you gonna do about it?

J: I wont let anything happen to Carly and Michael.

L: You finally going to re-claim your family or are you going to feed them to the wolves again?

J: I'm back and I'm not going anywhere. They are my family Luke, make no mistakes about it I will fight for them.

L: Well it's about god damn time. That little girl in there has had too much heartache in her life. She deserves some peace and happiness. You mess up this time Morgan and I will kill you myself.

J: Understood. Why did Sonny throw her out?

L: Well our sweet Caroline got scared, when Sorel got a bomb into her home and Michael almost opened it. Sonny dismissed her fear and worry as if it were nothing. So what does our girl do when she is scarred and she feels trapped?

J: She comes up with a plan.

L: Right, well this time her plan involved working with Roy and trying to get Sonny into the witness protection program with the FEDS.

Jason sighs.

L: She wanted Michael safe Jason, she did it for all the right reasons, but Corinthos just shut her out like she was dead to him.

J: She must have been terrified. I wish I had been here so she didnıt feel trapped to begin with. Still Sonny had no right to leave her unprotected. At least she got Michael away and he is safe.

L: Yeah well Junior has been terrorizing her these past few months. Some judge actually granted him visitation rights.

J: AJ won't bother her again. Michael will never have to know him or the Quartermaines.

Bobbie came out of Carly's room and ran into Luke's arms.

L: She's a Spencer Barbara Jean. She will be fine.

B: You can go in now Jason. She is still unconscious but is holding her own right now.

Jason held his breath as he opened the door to her room. He really wasn't prepared for what he saw when he entered. The women lying in the bed didn't even resemble his Carly.

She looked so weak and tiny with all the tubes running in and out of her. He watched the breathing machine that was helping her breathe raise and lower steadily. Slowly he approached her bedside, pulling up a chair next to it and taking a seat. He tried to make out her face but she was all swollen and bruised. The heartache over took him and his head fell into his hands and he cried. He thought about their last goodbye and their bet, her smile and the way she would always say "JASE" in a way that would make him do anything she wanted. Things weren't supposed to have turned out like this, she was supposed to be happy and safe, not lying in a hospital bed fighting for her life. He had let her down time and time again and now all he wanted was another chance to make things right and to make her happy. He raised his head wiping away the tears.

J: You can't leave me Carly. I love you, I am in love with you. Please come back to me and give me a chance to make you happy. I will never leave you again I promise, just come back to me and Michael.

Jason laid his head on her bedside while he held her hand. Just watching the breathing machine and praying that she would be okay. Luke entered the room, waking Jason out of his trance like state.

L: Jason, Johnny is here he needs to speak with you.

J: I don't want to leave her alone Luke, what if she wakes up?

L: I will stay with her and if anything changes I will come get you.

J: Okay, I will be right outside the door.

Jason went out into the hallway to find Johnny waiting.

Johnny: AJ's been taken care of. His car went off a cliff an hour ago, he's dead.

J: Good. What about Sonny?

Johnny: Other than forcing him by gunpoint he wasn't budging. He claims he doesn't care. It looked like he and Miss Ellis are leaving the country, there were suitcases by the door.

J: What else is new, Sonny ruins lives, gets people killed and leaves someone else to clean up his messes. Well I am done. Johnny I have complete control of the Puerto Rico territory, and I have spoken with the elders they want Sonny dead. He has run this organization into the ground. I will be taking over. Do you want a promotion?

Johnny: Absolutely boss. What do you need me to do?

J: You will be my 1st lieutenant Johnny. I trust you and I need someone loyal right now to do a few things for me. First off, get in touch with our explosives guy. I want Sonny's jet wired to explode in the air. He and Miss Ellis won't be reaching their destination as they planned. Then I want to know which of our guys we can trust, we need complete loyalty Johnny.

Johnny: Jason there is something you should know. Some of the men knew Sorel had Carly and wouldn't help save her.

J: Get together a few men who you trust, then round up the traitors and make an example out of them, kill them all. It is important that everyone know that Carly and Michaels protection is their first priority ALWAYS. So dust off those guns of yours Johnny, there's gonna be somebloodshedd before all this is over with.

Johnny: It's about time we did our jobs instead of looking the other way. I'm on it boss. Jason its good to have you back.

J: Thanks Johnny. Also get Francis and Renaldo over here I want them posted at Carly's door.

Johnny: You got it.

Jason returned to Carly's room letting Luke go to comfort Bobbie. He took his seat by her bedside and continued his vigil over her. He continued to talk to her filling her in on what was going on and confess his love for her.

A week later:

Days had passed and Carly still remained unconscious, the breathing tube was removed and she was breathing on her own again. Bobbie was confident that she was going to wake up and come back to them any day now. The local papers were busy reporting several big stories. One being that AJ Quartermaine was killed in an apparent drunk driving accident, but Luke and Bobbie knew better. Another stated Sonny Corinthos local mob boss was killed with a women companion when his private jet exploded in mid air over Mexico.

Jason has resumed control of the organization with Johnny and Benny's help and lots of meetings run from Carly's hospital room. He never left her side, he was exhausted but never gave up the hope that she was going to wake up soon. Johnny was busy tracking down whatever men were left from Sorel's organization and ridding Port Charles of them. He was enjoying his job again and did it well. Bobbie had told Jason where Michael and Leticia were and he sent some men down to bring them home. They were staying at the Brownstone with Bobbie.

Jason was in his usual spot right by Carly's bedside. He had fallen asleep with his head resting on her bed while holding her hand.

Carly was starting to become aggravated and upset. She began tossing around in her bed frantically crying out.

C: No please, stop. Please don't do this, stop.

Jason woke up with a startle as he heard her cries. She was crying and struggling in her sleep.

He squeezed her hand.

J: Carly, wake up. Carly your safe, no one will hurt you. Just wake up baby, please wake up.

She slowly began to open her eyes and she tried to focus on the voice she was hearing. Her vision was blurry and she strained to gain focus. She pulled her hand out of Jason's in fear. Jason stood up pushed the button for the nurse.

C: Please don't hurt me anymore, please stop. She was trying to scramble away from him.

Jason knew she was scared, but continued to try to calm and reassure her.

J: Carly your safe, its me Jason. I'm here baby.

Bobbie came into the room, and rushed to her side, trying to calm her.

B: What happened?

J: I don't know, she was having a bad dream then she woke up and she's scared of me Bobbie, its like she doesn't know me.

B: Jason step back please. Carly, its mama, I'm right here sweetheart and you are safe. No one is going to hurt you. Your safe. She slowly calmed Carly down and got through to her.

Carly turned and looked right at Bobbie if finally recognizing her. She started crying.

C: Mama? Where am I?

B: Its okay Carly you are in the hospital.

C: MICHAEL!

B: Michael is safe with Leticia at the brownstone.

C: NO! AJ will get him.

B: Carly, calm down. I promise you Michael is safe, AJ will never get near him again.

She starts to settle down with Bobbie's reassurance. As she does a wave of extreme pain comes over her.

C: God mama, it hurts so bad.

B: I know baby just try to relax and I will go get you some painkiller.

C: Please don't leave me alone.

Carly doesn't see Jason in the back of the room standing with tears in his eyes watching her in so much pain and fear.

B: Carly Jason is here, he will stay with you.

Carly looks confused at her mother. C: Jason's here?

Bobbie leaned in and whispered to her. B: He hasn't left your side for a minute. He loves you Carly.

Jason walks over to her and she sees him for the first time since that night.

J: I'm right here Carly (he gives her a smile).

She just stares at him unsure of what's going to happen.

B: I will be right back.

Carly grasps Bobbies hand not wanting her to leave her alone with Jason, but Bobbie unhooks her hand from hers and pats it reassuringly. Bobbie leaves and Jason tentatively approaches Carly and sits down next to her.

J: You had me really scared Carly. I thought I had lost you for good.

C: I don't know what you want me to say Jase. I guess I should thank you for coming for me that night. I figured no one cared if I lived or died.

J: I'm sorry I wasn't here for you sooner. If I had known.

C: You would have what Jason? Hired someone to else to take me off Sonny's hands? Or would you have come back and the left again insisting I was better off without you?

J: I know I deserve that but Carly I'm back and I'm not leaving.

C: Well good for you Jason. I'm thrilled for you, maybe you can call Lizzie Webber up and drag her away from Lucky.

J: Carly stop. I don't care about Lizzie Webber. I am staying to be with my family, you and Michael. I want us to be a family again baby, just the three of us. I love you Carly.

Carly was on overload between the extreme pain she was in, the ordeal with Sorel, and then Jason- it was all just too much for her and she just shut down. She started to cry uncontrollably and she turned away from him staring off into space.

Bobbie came in with her medication, seeing Carly's condition.

B: Jason what happened?

J: Bobbie, I just told her I loved her and wanted my family back. I don't understand.

B: Jason wait outside please, you seem to be upsetting her.

J: I don't want to leave her.

B: Jason please this isn't helping her right now. She needs to calm down and rest, please just wait outside.

Bobbie injected Carly with a painkiller then a sedative to calm her so she could get the rest she desperately needed. Jason watched as she started to calm down, then turned and left the room.

B: Shhh baby, calm down your safe. Just rest Carly.

Bobbie waited till she had fallen asleep then went out to find Jason, who was sitting in the hallway outside of her room.

J: Is she okay?

B: She's sleeping, that's what she needs the most right now. Her body needs time to heal. Jason, what happened in there?

J: Bobbie I am telling you I just tried to tell her how much I loved her and wanted her and Michael back with me. She seemed bitter and mad, then after I said I loved her she shut down and freaked out.

B: Jason you have to realize no one knows exactly what Carly went through with Sorel. We don't know what he did to her. Not to mention the fact that she Sonny's treatment of her pretty much had left her broken. Jason she was just through a horribly traumatic experience, then she wakes up and you are telling her you love her. Can you imagine what she was thinking? She's scared. The two of you never really settled things between you when you left her, now your back and she is just on overload. It's too much for her to handle Jason.

J: I don't want to hurt her Bobbie, I just want to love her.

B: I know sweetie but right now she can't handle that. She needs space and time to heal first.

Jason feels like he has been hit in the stomach all over again, as the tears start to cloud his vision.

J: I need her Bobbie. I don't want to be without her again.

B: I understand Jason, but she needs time right now. You need to give her that or you could loose her forever. If she shuts down completely you will be without her. Give her time Jason, just let her heal.

J: Okay. I will try, but will you please talk with her when she's ready to listen?

B: Oh course.

J: Bobbie do you have any rooms available? I would like to be close to Michael and I have no intentions of moving into Sonny's penthouse.

B: Actually yes, I do. It just happens to be next to Carly's. You can have that one Jason. Michael will love to see his daddy again. Just keep him safe.

J: Thanks Bobbie, I will. Can I go in and see her while she's a sleep for a little while?

B: Alright, but just for a little bit.

J: Okay.

He stands and enters her room. He smiled seeing her sleeping peacefully. Walking over to her, he gently brushed some stray hairs away from her face.

J: I'm gonna give you the time you need Carly, but I am not giving up on you. I love you baby. He leaned down and kissed her forehead before turning to leave to go see Michael.

A week had past and Carly continued to improve everyday. Jason would sneak in to see her at night while she slept. Bobbie told Jason she was still not ready to handle a serious discussion with him just yet, so he abided by her wishes. Jason had moved into the brownstone and renewed his relationship with Michael. Michael has become very close to his daddy and they became inseparable. Bobbie filled Carly in on Sonny and AJ's deaths. Carly knew that Jason was behind them, but she also was beginning to slowly realize that this was Jason's way of making things safe for her and Michael, and for that she was grateful. Jason and Johnny has successfully taken control of not only Sonny's territory but also Sorel's. The organization was running very smoothly and things were finally quieting down. Jason had purchased a building a block away from the brownstone and was renovating it making it into apartments for his men and remodeling the top floor for his family. He was sure he could win Carly over and he wanted to surprise her with their new home when she was ready.

Carly's Hospital Room:

B: Carly you are doing so much better, I think you will be able to come home tomorrow.

C: I miss Michael, I will be glad to see him again. I just didn't want him to see me in here.

B: Well he and Jason have become inseparable you know.

C: I'm glad Michael has his daddy back, I know Jason loves him.

B: What about you?

C: Mama I don't want to deal with this right now.

B: Well Carly when are you going to deal with it? Jason is going to be living in the same house as you. Your not going to be able to avoid him you know.

C: Yeah I can't wait for that.

B: Carly he loves you. For gods sake you have no idea how torn up he has been. Did you know he still comes to sit with you every night while you sleep? I've talked to him, sweetheart and the man loves you with all his heart and he just wants another chance to show you that.

C: I'm scared Mama. I have always been in love with Jason, he is it for me. What if he changes his mind again and leaves me again like last time? I cant go through that again, I just cant go threw it again and I wont put Michael through that either.

B: Well if this means anything. He has taken over for Sonny, he's bought a building that he is remolding into a home for his family. He's planting roots Carly, I know he is planning on staying. His business and family are here, he's not going anywhere.

C: I just don't know Mama, I don't know what to do.

B: Will you at least talk to him? He's been going crazy Carly, just listen to what he has to say.

C: I will think about it.

B: Okay, you do that. I will see you tomorrow and hopefully we can get you sprung from here then.

C: Thanks Mama.

Night-time came and Carly was lying in bed thinking about everything her mother had said about Jason. She wanted so desperately to believe that Jason loved her and that this time they could make things work between them. Francis entered her room carrying a beautiful bouquet of roses, a beautifully wrapped present and a tape player.

F: Hi Carly.

C: Hey Francis. More flowers? You already sent me flowers.

F: Actually these are from the Jason. He wanted me to set this up also for you.

Francis proceeded to give Carly the present and a letter. He set up the tape player for her and put it by her bedside, and set the flowers down in one of the last few open spaces. Jason and his men had been sending her flowers almost on a daily basis and her room looked like a florist.

C: What did he say Francis?

F: Just wanted me to give you these and for you to read the letter then play this tape.

C: Okay thanks.

F: Its good to see you up and around Carly. I am sorry I wasn't there for you. If I had been aware of what was going on I wouldn't have let you go through what you did.

C: I know Francis. I also know what Sonny was like so don't blame yourself. As far as I am concerned it's forgotten.

F: Thanks Carly.

Francis left Carly alone. She immediately opened the beautifully wrapped package first. She held the black velvet jewelry box in her hands she carefully opened it revealing a beautiful silver locket. Engraved on the front were the initials CM, she opened the locket and smiled as she stared at a picture of her family. The picture was one of the three of them, Jason, Michael and her that was taken on the beach in Florida.

C: Oh Jase.

Next she opened his letter.

Carly,

I have tried really hard to give you the space you have needed, but I have to tell you I miss you terribly baby. I know that I have made a lot of mistakes but the biggest one was trying to deny my feelings for you. I love you Caroline, I am in love with you, I have been since the first day I met you. I thought that if I opened myself up to someone and let them into my heart that it would make me weak. But walking away from you and not staying and fighting for your love was weak, and itıs the biggest regret of my life.

I know I don't deserve another chance but, I am begging you to please give me one. There is nothing more I want to do than to spend the rest of my life loving you and making you happy. I want my family back Carly, our family.

I heard this song the other day and it made me think of you. Please listen to it and know I am thinking of you. You have always stood by my side through anything and everything, I am sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most baby. I only hope that you will give me the chance to be there for you from now on.

I love you baby. Michael and I are waiting for you to come home.

All My Love,

Jase

The tears were running uncontrollably down her face. She smiled as she tried to wipe them away, while reaching over and pushing play on the tape player. A familiar song filled the room and her heart leapt as she realized she had the sweetest man waiting to love her.

There You'll Be

When I think back on these times

And the dreams we left behind

I'll be glad 'cause I was blessed

To get to have you in my life

When I look back on these days

I'll look and see your face

You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky

In my heart there will always be a place for you

For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me

And everywhere I am, there you'll be

Well you showed me how to feel

Feel the sky was in my reach

And I always will remember all the strength you gave to me

Your love made me make it through

Oh, I owe so much to you

You were right there for me

In my dreams I'll always see you soar above the sky

In my heart there will always be a place for you

For all my life I'll keep a part of you with me

And everywhere I am, there you'll be

'Cause I always saw in you my light, my strength

And I want to thank you now

For all the ways you were right there for me

You were right there for me

For always

Jason waited outside her room until he heard the song end. He slowly opened the door and stuck his head in. She was sitting up in the bed crying. She looked up and saw his beautiful face smiling back at her.

J: So do I get to come in?

C: Yeah.

He slowly approached her now knowing what she had decided. She held her arms out and open to him. He didn't waste anytime going to her and pulling her into his arms. He sighed deeply as his eyes began to tear up. He felt like he had everything right in his arms. It had been so long since he held her. She belonged in his arms, and he intended to never let her go again.

J: So does this mean you are going to give me another chance.

C: I'm sorry I have been such a mess lately. I have just been so scarred Jason. You get burned so many times, you are leery about jumping back into the fire ya know?

J: Baby I am sorry I have caused you so much pain and heartache. I never want you to feel that ever again. I love you so much Carly.

C: I love you too Jason.

They pull apart smiling at each other. Carly looks down at the pendant she is holding.

C: This is so beautiful Jase, I love it.

J: I wanted you to know I am truly committed to you and our family.

C: I have just one question though. Why are the initials CM on the front? I mean.

J: CM is for Caroline Morgan. Those will be your initials as soon as we get you out of here and healthy again. I want you to be my wife Carly, I want to share my life with you.

C: Oh really? You think its gonna be that easy huh?

J: Yup.

C: Well glad to see you're still awfully sure of yourself. But see I am afraid I am going to have to require a proper proposal. I want the whole fairytale Jason Morgan.

J: Believe me Caroline when I officially propose, you wont have any complaints. He leans in and gently places a soft tender kiss on her lips. She returns his kiss enjoying the warmth of his lips on hers.

J: I've missed this so much. I am sorry I let so much time slip away from us.

C: Hey I want to move on to the future so no more talk about the past deal?

J: Anything you want baby.

C: Oh now see that is a dangerous thing to say to me Jason Morgan.

They laugh and begin kissing again.

J: So you're getting sprung tomorrow?

C: That's what they tell me.

J: Good cause I can't wait to have my family all under one roof again. Plus I want you in my arms every night and every morning.

C: Well you know you could start tonight.

J: Reallyyyyy?

Jason stood up and walked over to the door and turned off the lights then made his way back to Carly's bed. He took his leather jacket off flinging it onto the chair then removed his shoes and joined her in the hospital bed. He wrapped his arms around her and she snuggled into his chest. He smiled as he felt her relax under his touch.

J: I'm going to make you so happy baby. We will have the best life together.

C: I love you Jason. (she said while yawning).

J: I love you too Carly, now go to sleep baby and have sweet dreams.

A month later:

Jason is leading a blindfolded Carly out of the limo in front of their new home. He takes the blindfold off of her revealing the name of the apartment building: C & J Morgan Towers

C: You didn't?

J: Yup, Carly & Jason Morgan Towers. You don't like it?

C: You kidding I love it. I feel so important.

Jason laughed. J: You are important baby, I couldn't live without you.

Carly kissed him deeply.

C: Jason Morgan you always say the sweetest things.

J: So you want to see our new place?

C: You kidding, lets go! (she grabbed his hand dragging him into the main lobby).

They took the elevator up to the penthouse floor and walked up to their door. Jason with his hands wrapped around Carly from behind reaches around her and opens the door for her.

C: Oh my god Jase.

Inside Carly is met with a huge room filled with white roses and candles that lit up the room.

They walk into the room Jason still with his arms wrapped around her.

J: I left it unfurnished I thought you would like to decorate it yourself.

Carly turns around in his arms so she is facing him, with tears in her eyes she kisses him.

C: Jase it's so beautiful. I love it.

J: There is one room I did buy one piece of furniture for.

He takes her hand leading her upstairs to their bedroom. Upon entering the room Carly immediately notices the huge king sized bed in the center of the room. It is surrounded with white lights that are running all along the ceiling like little stars shining. Her mouth is open as she walks further into the room where she spots a fire burning in the fireplace. She twirls around the room looking up at the lights, taking it all in. Then she walks over to the bed and runs her hands over the black satin comforter, with red satin sheets underneath.

Stopping and turning to Jason with a huge smile on her face.

C: Satin sheets?

J: I remembered you liked them.

C: Wow its all so perfect. But you know I am not sure about this bed, I mean we really don't know if it is going to be comfortable. I mean it looks nice but well I'm just not sure.

(Jason grins devilishly at her as he approaches her) J: Well I guess there is only one thing we can do then.

C: Oh you think you know how we can solve this little dilemma?

J: Oh yeah. There is really only one way we can be sure. We really need to test it out, right here right now.

C: Well if you insist Mr. Morgan, you are the boss.

He starts to remove her long leather coat, letting it fall to the floor, while slipping out of his as well. Then begins to work on the buttons on her blouse, while her hands start tugging his shirt out of his pants.

J: That's right baby, tonight I'm in charge. (she giggles as they quickly shed each other of their shirts).

C: I love it when you take charge with me.

J: Really? Well I will have to remember that.

He slowly starts to kiss Carly lightly lingering on her bottom lip before placing soft kisses all around her face and forehead, before returning to her mouth.

She smiles into his kiss purring. C: Mmmmm you are so good to me Jase.

He slowly starts to back her up till the back of her legs hit the bed then he gently lays her back onto the cool satin comforter. He stands over her running his hands down over her stomach and down her legs, removing her shoes one at a time, before returning to her pants which he shimmies off her leaving her lying in only her hot pink bra and panties.

J: I've never met any one more beautiful than you baby. You literally take my breath away.

Carly smiles as she watches him shed his pants and boxers and joins her on the bed, leaning over her. She sits up meeting him and they embrace as his mouth finds her neck and his hands unclasp her bra freeing her. As the bra goes flying across the room his mouth finds one of her nipples and he begins to nibble and suck on it. Carly arches into his mouth as his strong hands grab her hips pulling her into him tighter. He growls as he moves onto her other nipple making it hard and erect in his mouth. Carly can feel his cock growing harder against her thigh and she shivers as he lays her back down on the bed and removes her panties. He moves back up her body resting his head on her stomach.

Gently he traces her scar with his fingertip. Carly sees his face tense up and she strokes the side of his face reassuringly.

C: It doesn't hurt anymore Jase. He replaces his fingers with his lips placing gently kisses up and down her scar. He stops looking up at her.

J: It shouldn't have happened in the first place baby.

C: Hey no talk about what is in the past remember?

J: I'm sorry, you're right. This is our first night in our new home and our new bed. Forgive me?

C: Well if you stop talking and make love to me already, I will think about it. (she laughs pulling him up to meet her mouth in a hungry kiss)

She starts trailing her nails up and down his back sending shivers throughout his body, she opens her legs wider making room for him and he sinks into her swiftly. She wraps her legs around his waist wanting him deeper inside her. Jason gasped then smiled as she tightened around him. His thrusts were steady and slow at first then Carly started screaming out for him to take her harder and faster, as she grabbed his ass tightly trying to increase his speed. This sent him over the edge with excitement. He drilled into her harder and faster with each thrust, burying himself deeper inside her until they both cried out from pleasure climaxing together. Gasping for breath they collapsed against each other, Carly holding Jason steadily on top of her, enjoying his weight and his throbbing cock still inside her. She ran her hands up and down his back as she regained control of her breathing. Jason smiled sweetly at her kissing her forehead.

J: So do you think this bed will be adequate for us?

C: Well actually there is still one more test I need to conduct first before I can make my final decision.

She slowly started to circularly moving her hips. Jason let out a primal groan as he felt Carly tightening and releasing around him, teasing him. He hardened quickly again inside her as she rolled him onto his back so she was now on top of him. Her nails running over his chest and nipples seductively, causing him to inhale sharply at her touch, she began to ride him with a steady teasing pace.

She briefly leaned down to whisper in his ear. C: See, Jase we need to make sure this bed is going to be able to withstand everything. She licked his ear with her warm tongue before sitting back up and continuing her pace.

J: Your bad. But god I love it Carly.

She laughed as she stopped her movements, playing with him. He grabbed her ass.

J: God Carly, you're killing me here, you're not playing nice!

She laughed and let him guide her pace. Once she started to increase her rhythm she swatted his hands away and furiously began to ride him. Jason hands grasped the sheets as his head thrashed around on the pillow his groans filling the room. Carly smiled at the effect she was having on him, she loved pleasuring him. She felt herself nearing her own climax, Jason almost there as well sat up hugging her to him as he met her thrust with equal intensity as they cried out for each other. Still tightly embraced Carly began kissing and licking Jason's shoulder making her way up his neck to his lips. She bit his bottom lip, holding momentarily in her teeth before releasing it.

C: I love you Jason Morgan.

J: You Carly are incredible. You drive me crazy, but it is always well worth your torture. I love you too baby. So you think this bed will work for us?

C: Mmmm I think it will do nicely. They kissed slowly each savoring the warmth and taste of each other.

C: You've given me so much Jase, I love our new home.

J: Carly you are the one that has given me more than I deserve. Without you I would be so lost, with out your love I would have nothing. You are everything I could ever dream of and more. Thank you Caroline for loving me like you do.

C: Jase. This night has been so wonderful.

J: You think you could stand a little more of it?

She scrunches her eyebrows looking at him curiously.

C: Why what did you have in mind?

Jason pulls apart from her wrapping the comforter around her while grabbing the sheet pulling it around his waist. He gets up from the bed and looks around for his coat, that is somewhere on the floor with the rest of their clothes. He smiles spotting it and grabbing the velvet box out of its pocket. Making his way back over to the bed sitting down along side of her. Seeing the box Carly sits up to face him, with a huge smile on her face.

J: Caroline Spencer you own every inch of my body, heart and soul. I can't even begin to imagine what my life would be like if I had never met you. We have both been through so much both together and apart. Now finally destiny has brought us back here- to each other. Will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife and taking my name?

Carly couldn't stop smiling as the tears rolled down her face.

C: There is nothing more in this world I would rather do than be your wife. YES!!

J: Yeah?

C: Of course YES! She flung herself into his arms, then kissed him with all the joy that was overflowing from her heart and soul. When they pulled apart, Jason presented her the black velvet box, opening it up revealing a 4-carat brilliant emerald cut diamond. She gasped at the sight of it.

C: Jason my god it's gorgeous. He chuckled at her excitement and took it out and slid it on her finger.

She held it out in front of herself admiring it.

C: I'm going to be Mrs. Caroline Morgan. (she giggled) I love it.

J: That's right baby Mrs. Morgan. I love the sound of that.

Carly purred as she began to kiss him again.

C: Mmmmm me to my husband to be.

Jason laughed and flipped her backwards on to the bed covering her with his body.

J: Ya know Bobbie is watching Michael tonight for us?

C: Really? So we have the whole night alone?

J: YUP! So I hope you don't plan on getting any sleep Mrs. Morgan.

C: Well Mr. Morgan, you will have to show me what you had in mind. Jason laughed and began to kiss her as his hands moved up and down her body reclaiming her again and again.

TWO MONTHS LATER:

Jason and Carly are planning to be married on New Years Day at the brownstone with just immediate family present. Jason had wanted to give Carly a huge wedding at the Queen of Angels church, but Carly wanted to have a private ceremony so that they could concentrate on each other. Jason was more than thrilled with this idea. The three of them have moved into their new penthouse. Carly finished decorating it just in time for Christmas. It was Christmas day and Carly sat in the living room in the dark with in front of the fireplace looking at the tree all light up and glowing. She had saved one present for Jason to unwrap, she wanted to give it to him when they were alone. She couldn't wait to see his face.

Jason came down stairs and joined Carly by the fireplace.

J: He fell right to sleep the minute his head hit the pillow. He was exhausted.

C: Well I would think so, being up at 5AM. He was so funny to watch though wasn't he?

J: Yeah I've never seen a kid tear open presents so fast.

C: Speaking of presents, I have something for you. She reached under the tree and handed Jason a beautifully wrapped silver package.

J: We already exchanged gifts this morning.

C: I know but I wanted to have you all to myself when I gave you this one.

Jason raised an eyebrow at her.

J: What is it?

C: Well open it silly and find out.

J: He tore off the paper and opened the box, pulling out a small black leather jacket. He looked up at her then back down at the jacket. Tears filled his eyes as he searched for words.

C: Congratulations daddy.

J: A baby?

C: YUP, a new little Morgan will joining our family in 7 months.

J: Your (he reached out touching her stomach in awe)

C: I'm two months pregnant. It seems that our first night in our new home, we christened it in more ways than one.

J: Wow, I'm going to be a daddy. Were having a baby! He stood up yelling WERE HAVING A BABY!!

Carly stood up trying to quiet him down.

C: Jase, Michaels sleeping. He scooped her up into his arms and began twirling her around.

J: I can't believe I'm gonna be a daddy. He put her down and began kissing her.

C: Merry Christmas Jase.

J: God baby, you have made me so happy. Thank you so much. With out your love I would have nothing. Now I have everything! I love you Caroline Morgan.

He reached down and kissed her stomach.

J: I love you too little one. I can't wait to meet you.

Carly smiled as she finally had everything she ever wanted in life. A beautiful little boy, a wonderful man who loved her endlessly and that she couldn't keep her hands off of, and a new little baby on the way-Jason's baby. Life was perfect.

EPILOGUE:

Jason and Carly were married on New Years Eve in a beautiful ceremony. They welcomed their new baby girl into the world seven months later in July. Gabriella Lila Morgan was brought into this world and born to two loving parents who adored her. She quickly became daddy's little girl, wrapping Jason around her finger the minute she looked up at him with those big brown eyes just like her mothers.

Jason Morgan held his new baby girl rocking her in his arms as he looked out over Port Charles. He had learned a valuable lesson the day he got the call from Johnny several months ago. With Out Love, his life had no meaning at all. Carly had filled his life with so much love and happiness, he thanked god everyday for bringing her into his life.

With out Your Love- by SheDaisy

What if my heart

Had walked right past you

What if my eyes

Had never asked you

To come and take the chains

That kept me weighted down

If you never saved me

Oh, I know I'd still be

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, Id be lost

Searching for you

Heaven would be out of reach

My soul left incomplete

That's where Id be

Without your love

You're the reason

That I feel so safe

The way you hold me

Holds my heart in place

I'm just thankful to be

Where I am right now

Without your arms around me

Id be where you found me

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, Id be lost

Searching for you

Heaven would be out of reach

My soul left incomplete

That's where Id be

Without your love

Ahh, ah

Ahh, ah

Oh, I would be

Walking in sinking sand

Flying with no place to land

Oh, Id be lost

Searching for you

Heaven would be out of reach

My soul left incomplete

That's where Id be

Without your love

That's where Id be

With out your love

 

THE END!
