Carly was speechless as she watched her best friend stand in the doorway, "Jase?"

Jason couldn't believe his eyes. He had spent six weeks looking for her and he had decided to take a break from the search to visit Michael and here she was; looking more beautiful than ever. He felt like a complete idiot, he hadn't even thought to check here for her.

"Carly… you're here?" he asked as he approached her cautiously.

Carly nodded, "Yeah I'm here"

He finally reached her and pulled her into his arms, "Why did you leave me?"

Carly felt the tears as he asked her such a complicated question as if he were a lost little boy, "Oh Jase… I… Let's not talk about it here. I have to go pick up Morgan, we can talk about this later at my apartment"

Jason nodded; "Okay I'll come with you" he followed her to her car, and got in with her as they went to Morgan's school.

The three of them entered the apartment, both Jason and Carly had silently agreed that their conversation could wait until Morgan went to bed, he was so excited to see his Uncle Jason that there was no way he would leave them along long enough to have the complicated discussion they needed to have.

So Jason went off with Morgan to play in his room while Carly ordered dinner and prayed Morgan didn't say anything to Jason about his new baby brother or sister. She had no idea what she was going to do, she knew she should tell Jason about their baby, but she couldn't get the conversation he had with Elizabeth out of her head.

Jason tried hard to focus on Morgan and he was doing a good job, but his thoughts kept wandering to Carly and the child she was carrying, that she didn't know he knew she was carrying. He just wanted to tell her he knew and take Morgan and her home whether she went willingly or not. He wasn't leaving without them.

The three of them enjoyed dinner while Morgan talked about his new school and the park he had seen that he wanted to visit this weekend. Carly and Jason listened half heartedly as they stole silent glances at one another. Morgan, completely oblivious to the fact that the adults' attention wasn't solely on him, continued to jabber away as he asked Jason questions about home and if he was coming to live with them because he missed them. Jason just told him he wasn't sure yet and then the conversation was over.

Once Morgan was tucked in and fast asleep Jason joined Carly on the couch. Carly played with her hair nervously as she waited for him to say something, he didn't. He just stared at her with his intense blue eyes, as if he could see the lie in her eyes and the baby in her stomach. Finally Carly broke the silence, "Please say something Jase"

"Why did you run?"

Carly sighed as she got off the couch and began pacing the living room, "I couldn't stand living in Port Charles anymore. Michael's shooting, Jax divorcing me, and then the in vitro not working… it was all too much! I couldn't take it anymore. Everywhere I went I was confronted with bad memories"

"Why didn't you come to me? I could have helped you. You didn't have to disappear!"

Carly's eyes began to water, "I had put you through so much already, I thought it would be better if I just left you alone for once. I mean I gave you this hope that you could be a father and then destroyed it when I didn't get pregnant. I figured enough was enough"

Jason shook his head in disappointment when she continued to lie about their baby, "I know you're pregnant Carly" he said in a whisper.

Carly stopped her pacing and looked at him confused, "What?"

He rose off the couch as he approached her, "I know the in vitro worked and that you are pregnant right now" he said louder.

Carly stepped back slightly, "How? Did Morgan tell you?"

Jason smiled as he shook his head, "No, Dr. Lee did. I ran into her and she was worried about you so she asked me how you were doing, imagine her surprise when I told her how upset you were because the in vitro didn't work. That's when she told me it did work and you knew it worked. Why did you lie to me Carly?"

Carly felt the anger rise, "She had no right to tell you about me, isn't there some kind of patient/doctor confidentiality?"

"It doesn't matter once the patient has left their care, and you left her care…" he paused as he prepared himself for the next question, "Why did you lie to me and run off with Morgan and my child?"

Carly couldn't believe this, "Your child? Since when did you take cues from AJ and Sonny?"

Carly knew she had hit a sore spot when Jason closed his eyes. She felt bad but it had pissed her off hearing him refer to THEIR child as HIS child.

"I'm sorry… I didn't…"

"So that's all I am… another AJ or Sonny? Someone who can give you a baby so you can take it away from them? I thought I was more than that. I thought you trusted me. I thought I was the only person you wouldn't do that to"

Carly felt the tears fall, but didn't care, "I didn't want our child to be just another obligation you had to me"

Jason looked at her softly as it started to become clearer, "Who told you that our baby or even you and Morgan are an obligation for me?"

"YOU DID!" she screamed feeling the anger again. Damn Hormones she thought as she went from crying to screaming in 2 seconds.

Jason was beyond confused now, "When did I ever tell you that you or our baby was an obligation?"

Carly laughed, "You didn't tell me… but you told Elizabeth"

Jason's eyes got big as he realized what had happened. Carly laughed bitterly, "Yeah, I heard you. I was on my way to tell you that the in vitro had been a success and that we were expecting a baby, but to my surprise Elizabeth was there. I stayed to listen because that's what I do and I overheard you tell Elizabeth that you had provided your sperm as a favor to me. I also heard you tell her you really didn't want this baby."

Jason couldn't believe it, "What else did you hear?"

"That was it, I was so sick to my stomach I couldn't listen to anymore, so I left"

Jason laughed as he realized what a huge misunderstanding this had all been. He should have known better, Carly always did crazy things, especially when she didn't get the full story.

"If you had stuck around you would have heard me tell Elizabeth that at first it was a favor to you and that I didn't know how I felt about the baby, but after helping you with Morgan and letting myself get used to the idea of having a baby with you I realized I wanted this baby. That I was excited at the idea of raising a child with you again."

Carly looked at him incredulously, "Really?"

Jason shook his head, "Yeah, I couldn't be happier about this baby. I want to be a family with you and Morgan"

Carly's tears began to fall again as she threw her arms around him, "Oh my God Jason, I want to be a family with you too! I killed me to think you didn't want this"

Jason sighed contentedly as he held her, thankful they had cleared the air and that they were both on the same page now. He pulled back slightly to look at her, "Okay then, now that everything is clear, why don't we go to bed and in the morning we can pack you and Morgan up and go back home"

Carly smiled, "Sounds Good"
