Carly had been discharged from the hospital and had decided that this Sonny and Jason war over Emily had gone on far enough. It wasn't because she wanted Sonny because she didn't. She wouldn't take him back if he crawled on his hands and knees. But she knew that if she didn't do something it would tear her family apart. She couldn't allow that to happen..they all meant too much to each other. She had them come to her house because it was neutral territory. The way she thought was that them being at her house it wouldn't be a real advantage for either one of them. She heard a knock at the door. She had not told either one of them why she wanted to see them..or that the other would be there. She answered it.

"Hey" said Carly surprised to see that Jason had arrived first.

"Hi, Carly" said Jason giving her a hug because this was the first time he had seen her since the heartfelt hospital chat.

"So, How are things" said Carly lying through her teeth as if she didn't know that they were tense.

"They are bad..Sonny is going to hurt Emily and I will do whatever I have to do to stop him" said Jason. He didn't care the cost.

As Carly was about to put a word in Sonny walked through the door ranting "I know that you said this was important, but Carly nothing ever is important with you. I have people to see and things to do" he said.

"I am sure the people to see and the things to do are my sister. You just love "doing" her don't you" said Jason. He was being blunt.

Sonny was trying to hold back the urge to punch Jason's face in.

"What is he doing here Carly" asked Sonny. He was not in the mood for this.

"He is here because i asked him to be here. I knew if I told you both knew that you were going to be here..you never would come. I can't have you two going on like this" said Carly. She couldn't deal with them fighting.

"You shouldn't have done this" said Jason thinking of whether to stay or go.

"Jason, I should have and I did" said Carly. She knew this was the only way.

"Carly, Why did you get involved" said Sonny thinking what a dumb thing to say because he told Emily that Carly would probably fix it.

"This needs to stop and i think that I may be able to stop it" said Carly looking at Jason first.

"You always think you can fix things" said Jason. He was getting a little sick of her butting into his personal life even though he had said to a comatose Carly that he didn't mind it. He was a hypocrite.

"Well I can this time. I want to talk to you first Jason and then Sonny. I will make you both understand what you are saying because I am impartial to this whole thing" said Carly. She didn't care about Emily either way.

"Impartial" said Jason first taking a breath and then a laugh. "You are the least impartial person I have met where he is concerned" said Jason indicating Sonny.

"Well all that has changed now" said Carly realizing that she hadn't mentioned her impending marriage to Jax to them, but now wasn't the time unless they asked.

"Why is that, Carly" asked Sonny chiming in.

"because I am with someone who i really love and he loves me and Jax proposed and I accepted. Now, stop sidestepping because I am the not the thing we are all here to talk about right now"

"Really, What are we here to discuss then Carly" said Jason playing dumb as if he didn't know.

"Emily" said Carly. She knew that he was being a wise-ass. "Which i know that deep-down you know that is why I wanted to see you both" said Carly sighing.

"So I guess I am the first to be enlightened by the almighty preacher Carly" said Jason

"Jason, You might want to be nice to me. You see I have Courtney on speed-dial" said Carly pulling out the cellphone as she continued "and I am pretty sure that she mentioned she had some things to say and do to you..she's been taking that Tae-Bo..she's gotten to be quite good too" said Carly.

That shut Jason right up.

"Now, Listen to me..Your baby sister fell in love with the big bad mobster? Is that how your seeing this in your head" said Carly wondering how he was picturing it.

He just remained silent. "Well your silence speaks volumes" she said continuing. She took a deep breath and let it out preparing to go full force into her semi-prepared Jason speech. "I know why you are scared Jason, I really understand why you feel like you have to protect them from each other or more importantly in your mind you have to protect Emily from Sonny. You are scared that Sonny is going to hurt her and that Emily is going to see all the nasty, horrible things that you and I have experienced first hand with Sonny. You are afraid of his dark side coming out and rearing it's ugly head towards Emily. I know that. I really do know it. I know you love Emily and want her safe. I also know that the concept of fear to you is new because you dont get afraid easily and you don't know how to cope with it all" said Carly. She was hoping it was helping.

"That is all true Carly, So how is this supposed to make me see that they belong together? How is this going to fix my fractured relationship with Emily and whatever I can save of mine and Sonny's friendship" said Jason sighing.

"That wasn't supposed to. That was supposed to make you see that I understand where you are coming from and that I really am here for you. Now, that being said this is what I am hoping helps change things for you" said Carly. She had two things that she figured couldn't fail. "First I want to tell you first hand that I have seen them together and Jason she seems to take away all that darkness and i guess in a way I never could for him. He makes her happy and she makes him happy. He smiles more when she's around. The kids love her..that doesnt mean that if she ever decided she wanted to take my place in their lives that I wouldnt kill her..cause i would" Carly tried to say. She paused for a moment and then said "Maybe my words mean nothing, but i think this might help a little better than me describing how they are together" she said. She walked over to the TV and turned it on. She pushed a DVD into the player and pressed play. It was a bunch of clips of Sonny and Emily having fun at the house, the beach, with the kids, and even with her.

Jason just sat there and watched as the images flashed on and off the screen and thought there was a possibility that he could be in the wrong..He never had thought that before. But now seeing how they were and watching how Emily's face just radiated this glow about her..it made all the difference in the world. When he heard them say it, it wasnt real. When he saw it, he realized it was the most real thing in the world.

"I think I am ready to talk this out" said Jason. He looked to Sonny.

Sonny just stared at Jason and hoped they mend their fractured relationship.

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears and

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
You find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between and

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind

Everone knows I'm in
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm over my

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

As all this was happening Emily was at Sonny's place and was making some tea. She went and then put in her milk and sugar.She sat down and decided to curl up on the couch with a good book. As she was opening the book to the place where she had put her bookmark she heard a noise coming from the back of the house. She went to see what it was thinking that she had probably left a window open and the wind was blowing some things over. She walked through the house:


How long before I get in
Before it starts before I begin
How long before you decide or
Before I know what it feels like
Where to, where do I go?
If you never try then you'll never know
How long do I have to climb
Up on the side of this mountain of mine

Look up, I look up at night
Planets are moving at the speed of light,
Climb up, up in the trees
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
How long am I gonna stand
With my head stuck under the sand
I'll start before I can stop or
Before I see things the right way up

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ideas that you'll never find
All the inventors could never design
The buildings that you put up
Japan and China all lit up
The sign that I couldn't read
or a light, that I couldn't see
Some things you have to believe
While others are puzzles, puzzling me

All that noise and all that sound
All those places I got found
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

All those signs I knew what they meant,
some things you can invent
Some get made and some get sent ooh

And birds go flying at the speed of sound
To show you how it all began
Birds came flying from the underground
If you could see it then you'd understand
Oh, when you see it then you'll understand

When she saw what it was she was shocked. She dropped the cup full of hot steaming tea on the floor and didnt even hear the glass shattering..It couldn't be. There was no way.

"You aren't real. I watched you die. I know you are dead. I must be dreaming. Wake up Emily" said Emily


"It's true, I am here" said The mysterious person

Emily walked over and felt the persons face to see if they were real. She couldn't believe it they were. "Zander" said Emily then fainting.
