Recap: Story takes place before it was found out that Lucky was found. Sonny and Carly never married...and there was never a baby. Jason didn't go away. Other storylines are not key focal points. Characters mentioned are only concerning this story. From this point forward, this is one of the alternative storylines that the writers could have written.
I would like to encourage other writers to continue writing. Tragedy strikes and it is often hard to continue to do the things we need, we want, and we love…but real tragedy is not continuing on with life…just think about it.

"Jason…?"
"Scott advised that if I was suing for custody, Jason should be notified, especially since he gave up his rights because AJ and I were to make a happy home for Michael, and one house would be less confusing…so he gave up Michael."
"I told Scott this, and he checked into the paperwork surrounding Michael's case…you know what, Jason, provided certain provisions for relenting custody…AJ knew this, and he knew that I didn't, that's why he really wanted us to stay together."
"What were the provisions, Carly?"
"Well if we ever divorce, Jason's custody wouldn't actually reactivate itself, but unlimited visitations by him would go back into effect. So Scott said that I should serve him also…but Jason would never take my baby away from me. But AJ will do whatever he can against me…Scott says that he doesn't really have a case against Jason…and somehow that makes my case better, especially if Jason is on my side," again Carly starts to weep.
"Caroline…it took a lot of courage to tell me everything. Even the stuff about Sonny. I'm very proud of you for that. I love you, Caroline. I might not agree with everything you do, and we are going to argue, but you are my daughter and I'm here you, for always. We'll get through this you, me, Michael, and Lucas; we're Spencers…which makes us survivors."
"Thank you, Momma. I love you, too…Oh, one more thing…When my divorce is final, I want to change my name to Caroline Benson Spencer…if you that's okay with you?
"Carly, that sounds good," Bobbie says as one single tear trickles down her cheek.
"I also want to change Michael's name to Michael Alan Morgan-Quartermaine. I think it would best signify that he is apart of both his fathers. I think it's the right thing to do. I gave Michael both of his dads…one I choose biologically and one I choose, right or wrong, emotionally. Michael should not have to suffer for my choices. Scott says that I can have it changed on the birth certificate without either AJ or Jason's permissions since I am the birth mother and the fathers had to be proven legally in court, remember. Only Michael could change is name then, and only when he turns 16. So I had it changed. So the papers will read Michael Alan Morgan-Quatermaine. Do you approve, or did I do something else stupid?"
"Carly…it doesn't matter what I think…you need to be happy with your choices," Carly frowned just a little, "Honey, I honestly think that you are doing the right thing by Michael, Jason, and even AJ, and everyone else…including me. I'm proud of you. So go home get some rest. Things will be better tomorrow."
"Yes, you are right. Momma, tomorrow Michael, Leticia and myself will be here at 8:30 in the morning. Jason and AJ will get served between 8:30 and 9:30. Then I have lunch with Jason at noon…I'll meet you back here around one or so. Is that okay?"
"Sounds good," Bobbie says as Carly puts on her coat to leave. She hugged Bobbie, and Bobbie whispered to her, "Baby, everything is going to be alright. Whatever happens, we have each other. Us Spencer women are some tough cookies; don't forget that. Remember, Carly, I love you."
"I love you, too, Momma," and with that, Carly left the Brownstone feeling a little closer to taking the step of forgiving herself. But she knows that can never happen until she rights her wrongs, especially the wrongs that concern Michael, AJ, and Jason. Yes, Jason, she has to right the wrong she caused between Jason, herself, and Sonny. Carly realizes that this situation may be even more difficult than the divorce and custody case which is next to impossible. But still she knows that she must try. And try she will.
