Nothing to Forgive

Chapter 10

Milo watched curiously as Carly paced back and forth in the hallway. He couldn't make out what she was mumbling, but whatever it was he could tell it was something pretty serious. She seemed to be arguing with herself about something and every once in awhile she seemed to cave-in on herself and a look of total sadness would show on her face. He really liked Carly and he hated seeing her like this.

Carly groaned in frustration. She had spent the last fifteen minutes debating whether or not she should knock on Jason's door. All her impulses told her to turn around and flee the building as fast as she could. She could put this off just a little longer... really. Sighing she shook her head, straightened her shoulders and prepared herself for the confrontation about to occur.

Just as she was about to knock, the door opened on its own to reveal Jason standing on the other side. They stood staring at each other for a moment, allowing their eyes to soak in every detail, to absorb every sense of relief that they only could get from being in each other's presense.

To Jason, Carly looked beautiful... tired, but beautiful. He allowed his eyes to roam over her greedily. It had been too long since he has last seen her. His heart thumped loudly in his chest, he was surprised that she couldn't hear it.

Carly stood staring at Jason, letting herself take some strength from just being near him. Her eyes looked over him carefully, looking for any sign of displeasure. Then something caught her attention and she felt her heart drop. He had opened the door caring a duffle bag, which could only mean that he was going somewhere.

After standing there for several minutes, Jason stepped aside and ushered Carly into the Penthouse.

Looking everywhere but his eyes, Carly cleared her throat and managed to find her voice, "You going somewhere?"

It took a moment for her question to penetrate, he had been so intent in studying her features for signs of anger that he failed to actually hear the question.

"Yeah- " He started to say and then shook his head preparing to correct himself only to be cut off by Carly.

"Oh, well- I won't keep you, we can talk later. Or you can call-."

Jason shook his head, "No-"

Carly caught her breath and tried to hide the hurt in her eyes, "You don't want to call me or you don't want to talk? Because I have been thinking and -"

"Carly!" Jason bit out in frustration, pinching the bridge of his nose to fight off the headache that was building. "Let me finish a sentence, would you? Yes, I was leaving. Yes, I want to talk. No, You aren't keeping me from anything."

"Oh. Ok- so, where are you going? Can you tell me or is it business?" Carly asked carefully.

"No, it's not business. I'm going home."Jason smiled hesitantly at her, but she still wouldn't look at him.

"Oh. Wait- what do you mean you're going home? Did I miss something?" She asked with a confused frown.

Jason dropped the bag he had been holding and took both of her hands, "Carly, look at me."

Sighing she looked up into his eyes and knew that it would kill her to look away again.

"You didn't miss anything, I did." He said, tucking a stray curl behind her ear, "I missed you. I missed the opportunity to make things right between us. I didn't understand what you were trying to tell me- maybe I just didn't want to... But, I get it now. All I could think about while you were gone was that I wanted you home, not just back in Port Charles, but back with me."

Carly took a deep breath and struggled with the tears that were threatening to spill, "Well, I'm back. You don't have to worry anymore. I home."

Jason leaned in and put his forehead against hers, "You maybe home, but I'm not. I want to come home, Carly. Is it too late? Did I screw us up too badly?"

Carly lost the fight as tears started streaming down her face, "Yes- I mean, No- wait, yes. What are you asking me again?"

Jason could see the confusion mixed with fear and hope in her eyes and smiled, "Can I come home?"

Carly closed her eyes and swallowed back a sob, "You don't know how much I want to say yes. I just don't think-. I'm not sure-. Oh to hell with it! Yes. You can come home, you always could."

Jason placed a soft kiss against her lips, "I am sorry it took me so long to figure out that you and the boys, Josselyn and Spinelli- you guys ARE my home. My family."

Carly smiled, "We have always been YOUR family, Jase. Always will be."

Wrapping his arms around her he pulled her tightly against him, "I love you, Carly. Nothing will ever change that."

Remembering why she had come over in the first place, Carly pushed away, "I love you too and I am SO glad that you feel this way... 'cause there's something I need to tell you..."

Jason chuckled at her nervousness and decided they had plenty of time to talk- for now he just wanted to show her how much he loved her and how much he had missed her.

Seeing the lust and desire in his eyes Carly gulped, she had to get this out or she would chicken out- she could not let him distract her, but lord, was he ever sexy with that look in his eyes.

"Jase-" Carly looked down again, "About our family... what if it included more than just me, you , the boys, Josselyn and Spinelli?"

"What are you-" Jason looked down at her in confusion.

"Jason, I'm..." Carly's voice dropped so low that he had to lean in to catch what she was saying.

"WHAT!" His voice squeaked as he stood back in shock, "You- You- We-?"

"Yep. We are having a baby." Carly looked up shyly and noticed the stunned look on Jason's face.

Jason could have kicked himself when he saw the hurt and doubt flash in her eyes, but he was honestly shocked speechless. Carly was pregnant with his child... they were going to have a baby!

"Are you ok? Say something, Jason, you're scaring me..." Carly bit her lip nervously.

Wanting to show her just how "ok" he was with her being pregnant he quickly walked past her and opened the door, "Hey Milo, We're having a baby!"

Carly's mouth dropped, well that was unexpected.

Milo flushed red and stammered, "Uh... congratulations?"

Jason laughed, turning he picked Carly up and swung her around, "God, I love you."
