Chapter 6

Carly's POV

It was Friday night and Jason was taking me out to dinner and then to the Haunted Star. Luke was back in town, and it was now opening again. Jason thought it would be fun.

I bought a new dress for this date. It was dark blue, and I thought it looked nice on me. I really hoped Jason liked it. The doorbell rang; it was Lulu coming to watch Morgan for the night.

"Lulu, thanks for watching Morgan tonight. Mercedes had plans already, and I just wanted to give my mom a break."

"Yeah, no problem. I can go to the Haunted Star anytime, and Johnny had some family business he had to take care of, whatever that means."

"You probably don't want to know."

"I know."

"Lulu, I am not one to give advice about dating. I've chosen some really bad people before, and now I'm dating Jason, but I have to ask you something."

"What?"

"I can't tell you not to date Johnny because I know you love him, but I have to ask you not to let him in my house."

"But he's not dangerous."

"He might not be, but his family is. And I have to protect Morgan. Just, please."

"Okay. I know that you want to protect your son, so I won't let Johnny come here."

"Thanks. Oh Lulu, I'm so nervous. How do I look?" I twirled around so that she could see all of me.

"You look gorgeous. Jason's going to have a hard time keeping his hands off of you."

"Lulu!"

"What? It's not my fault you both love each other."

Then the doorbell rang; it was Jason. "Hey," I said.

"Hey. Wow, you look… wow. I mean, you look nice," he said, smiling in embarrassment.

I blushed. "Thanks. You don't look so bad yourself."

Morgan came running down the stairs and yelled, "Uncle Jason!" He ran right over to Jason, and Jason picked him up into his arms.

"Hey buddy," Jason said.

"Did you come over to play?" Morgan asked.

"No, not tonight. You're mom and are going out, but tomorrow, how about you, me, and your mom have a picnic in the park? Does that sound good?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay, then it's a plan."

Jason put Morgan, and I leaned down to talk to him. "Tonight, you're going to have lots of fun with Lulu, right?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay. I love you," I told him, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey, Morgan, I've got some movies for us to watch, and if you want, we can play some games."

"Yay!"

"Sounds like he's in good hands," Jason said.

"He is," Lulu said. "Now, you two crazy kids have fun tonight."

"We'll try. If anything happens-"

"I know! I'll call you. Goodbye," she said, shoving us out the door.

As we walked to Jason's car, he put his arms around me. "Morgan looks more and more like you everyday."

"Really? I don't know."

"Oh yeah. He has your eyes. Your gorgeous eyes."

"You think so?"

"Yeah." He stopped walking. "Carly, I've never told anyone this before. But right after you had Morgan, I was scared out of my mind. You were shot, and I didn't know whether or not you were going to be okay. Morgan had a birth defect. It felt like my life was crumbling."

"I just kept thinking that maybe if I had done more that I could have prevented you from being shot."

"But Jason, you did everything you could. You never gave up on me! You kept looking for me when I was kidnapped, and after I was shot, you helped me recover."

"I know that now, but when you were fighting for your life, I just felt so helpless. "

"Actually," he said, "both of your pregnancies scared me. I didn't know you as well when you were pregnant with Michael, but when you went into premature labor, I didn't know what to do. You were just laying on the floor, and then after the birth, he was so small. I was terrified."

"I heard that after I had Morgan, you were screaming and yelling at the cops because they wanted to take you in," I said.

"Yeah, I was. I couldn't leave your newborn baby alone. I knew that I had to protect him because you weren't awake. Can you believe that Lansing actually told the cops to let me stay at the hospital?"

"He was probably trying to make up for the hell he caused me when I was pregnant."

"It's really a miracle that you and Morgan survived."

"Jase, I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault you were kidnapped, and then shot."

"No, I'm sorry that I've caused you so much pain. You're life would be a lot less complicated without it."

"Yeah, that's for sure, but it wouldn't be nearly as wonderful."

We started walking again. "Besides," he said. "Your next pregnancy won't be nearly as complicated."

"My next pregnancy? What makes you think I'm going to have another kid, and why wouldn't it be complicated?"

"Because," he said before getting in the car, "it'll be my kid. And I'm going to be around you so much that you'll wish I would go away."

"That'll never happen. I'll always want you," I said, before kissing him.

I guess I had always thought about having Jason's kid, but I didn't think it would actually happen. Jason and I had just admitted our feelings for each other a few days ago, and this was our first date, but I had been in love with him for years. He was my soul mate, and we'd be together forever. I just knew it.

This chapter was sort of a filler chapter. The next chapter is going to be huge and is going all be in Jason's POV. That's really my favorite. I hope you all keep reading and reviews are always appreciated!
