*So, when I was writing the wedding ceremony (And boy am I giddy at getting to write a Jarly wedding to my specifications), but for the wedding, I picked all of the vows based on things that felt true to the two of them and their relationship, as much as what is true for them on the show as in my story. Therefore, it is a mixed/matched set of vows. Most of what the judge reads is from a Native American wedding blessing. Hopefully, you will enjoy.

And thank you to everyone leaving reviews. It makes me ridiculously happy to get feedback. :)

"Jason! We can't get married!" Carly crumpled in front of him, tears pouring down her face.

Concerned, Jason sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her. He ran his hand up and down her back as he waited for her to calm down. He whispered words of reassurance, telling her, "Shhh, it's okay. We can figure this out. Just breathe for me."

When she finally calmed down, she told him, "I'm sorry. I know you don't want me crying all over you."

"It's okay. Just tell me what's going on." He turned to fully face her, taking both of her hands in his.

"I look like a huge, white house in my wedding dress. And should I even wear white in my condition? You should be ashamed to be seen with me, and more so marrying me, looking like this."

Jason looked down as he worked to school his expression. As he had learned the last few weeks, Carly's pregnancy mood swings were unpredictable, and she simply needed comfort and reassurance. If he showed the exasperation he was feeling, she would just get more worked up.

Pulling her back into his arms, he told her, "Carly, you know you are beautiful. This pregnancy doesn't change how beautiful you are."

She scoffed at him. "I'm not beautiful. I mean, when I'm not pregnant, I'm sexy or hot, but I don't fall into the beautiful category. And there is definitely no way I am beautiful looking like a whale."

Pulling back so she could see his face, he put his hand on her neck, his thumb caressing her cheek. "Carly, you know I don't lie…"

Carly interrupted, saying, "You lied about being Michael's father the other day."

"I have never lied to you, have I?" He countered.

"Well, no."

"Then, know that I am telling you the truth when I tell you that you are beautiful. I would never be ashamed to be seen with you." Jason told her earnestly.

"I'm big and fat." Carly moaned.

"You are pregnant and beautiful." Jason countered.

Weakening, Carly shyly asked him, "You really think I am beautiful?"

"Yes. I really think you are beautiful." Seeing her soften, he continued, "Now go get changed. The judge is on the way over to marry us. It would probably look bad if the bride doesn't show up."

As he watched her walked up the stairs, he shook his head. How she could think she wasn't beautiful was beyond him. She was always underestimating herself. If she knew the thoughts he had about her, she wouldn't doubt that he found her appealing. He had never considered himself attracted to the pregnant form, but he found himself having to hold back from kissing her and touching her when she was around. It was just Carly that he was attracted to, when he looked at her, he saw her fire and her passion for life. From the moment he had first seen her, there wasn't a moment when he stopped wanting her. He had pushed it down, but the longer he lived with her, the harder it was getting, in more ways than one. Their time together seemed to play on repeat in his mind. Lying in bed at night, remembering their time at Jake's, knowing she was just down the hall, he ached for her. He kept having to remind himself that she needed his help, not his horniness. She needed to feel safe, and the prospect of restarting a physical relationship with her felt anything but safe. He just wondered how much longer he could hold out.

Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he jogged upstairs to change himself. About a half an hour later, the judge showed up.

Jason was just about to head up to check on Carly when she appeared at the top of the stairs. He was mesmerized at the sight of her in her white silk wedding dress. It had a square neck that accentuated her full breasts, and it draped attractively over her belly. When she moved, the knee length skirt flowed around her legs. He couldn't take his eyes off of her as she walked down to stand beside him.

"Carly, you look beautiful." Jason told her softly.

She gave him a bright smile.

The judge smiled at the couple. He asked, "Do you have witnesses?"

Carly looked up at Jason worriedly, just to see him nod his head. Walking to the door, he called out to Johnny and Reynaldo, who followed him back in. Jason walked back to Carly's side, introducing the men to the judge. Johnny stepped forward to give Carly a bouquet of red roses that he had in his hand. She smiled, and told him, "Thank you. I didn't even think of that."

Johnny looked uncomfortable for a moment before he told her, "You're welcome. Jason told me to make sure you had flowers."

Her eyes got teary, as she looked up at Jason. She was beyond touched that he had thought of that. When she was preparing for the wedding, she had refused to let herself get caught up in any romantic illusions about what this was about. She was so touched that Jason had made the effort to think of giving her this. With her free hand, she reached out and entwined her fingers in his, giving his hand a grateful squeeze. He smiled down at her and asked, "Are you ready?"

Giving him a nod, they both turned expectantly to the judge.

Clearing his throat, the judge began, "I always feel joy when joining two people together in the bonds of matrimony. It is such a beautiful act to promise to give your life to make someone else feel loved and valued. As you move forward, always remember that now, you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now there will be no loneliness, for each of you will be companion to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. May beauty surround you both in the journey ahead and through all the years, may happiness be your companion and your days together be good and long. Treat yourselves and each other with respect, and remind yourselves often of what brought you together. Give the highest priority to the tenderness, gentleness, and kindness that your connection deserves. When frustration, difficulties, and fear assail your relationship- as they threaten all relationships at one time or another- remember to focus on what is right between you, not only the part which seems wrong. In this way, you can ride out the storms when clouds hide the face of the sun in your lives- remember that even if you lose sight of it for a moment, the sun is still there. And if each of you takes responsibility for the quality of your life together, it will be marked by abundance and delight."

As the judge spoke, tears began to fall down Carly's face. Jason, too, felt the power of the moment and the words being spoken. He had honestly thought this was just a piece of paper, that it was nothing more than a formality, but he felt enormity of the promise he was about to make. He had never lied to Carly, so for him, this was a promise he intended to keep.

The judge went on, "Now for the vows…"

Carly spoke up, "Actually, if possible, I want to make my own." She looked at Jason, and seeing his agreement, she turned to the judge. He nodded his head for her to continue.

Carly turned to face Jason. She wanted to give him a promise that was meaningful to him, she didn't want any words in this ceremony to be a lie. She put her hand over his heart, and taking a deep breath, she said, "Today I say 'I do' but to me that means, 'I will.' I will take your hand and stand by your side in the good and the bad. I dedicate myself to your happiness, success, and doing everything possible to make you feel loved and to make you smile. I will always put you and our family before anyone and anything else."

Jason felt the words she spoke and the promise that she was making. Because he knew she would never lie to him, he knew the words she was speaking were her truth. People would be surprised by the emotion playing across the man's face that everyone considered cold and unfeeling.

The judge turned to Jason in question. Jason nodded and cleared his throat. He placed his hand over hers still resting on his chest. Looking into her eyes, he promised, "Today I join my life to yours, not simply as your husband, but as your friend and your biggest supporter. Let me be the shoulder you lean on and the companion of your life. I will always work to be the man that your generous eyes see me to be. I promise you today that I will always put you and our family before anyone and anything else."

When he finished, he wiped the tears that had fallen from Carly's eyes. The judge smiled as he continued, "Now for the rings."

Carly was once again surprised when Reynaldo stepped forward handing Jason two rings. Jason took the bouquet, passing it to Reynaldo, then turned to Carly, taking her hand, and giving her the simple platinum band that she would place on his hand. She turned her eyes back to the judge, when he said, "Carly, please repeat after me. I give you this ring as a symbol of my faith in our united strength. It represents my never-ending commitment and devotion to you."

As she repeated the words in a quivering voice, she slid the ring on his finger. When it was Jason's turn, she could clearly see the promise he was making to her. She believed every word he was saying. She turned her gaze to the beautiful ring he was slipping on her finger. It too was platinum, though it had diamonds woven into an intricate design all around the band.

When the judge said the obligatory, "If there is anyone here who has any cause for these two not to be wed, please speak now or forever hold your peace," Johnny and Reynaldo both smirked. Jason gave them a look that showed his lack of humor. Carly, however, let out a laugh, and even the judge cracked a smile.

Finally, the judge said, "By the powers vested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Jason cupped her cheek, then leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Her knees got weak. He placed his arm around her, pressing her even more tightly against him. He increased the pressure of the kiss, holding onto her for several moments longer.

Only when Johnny whistled and Reynaldo started chuckling, did he pull away from her. He noted with satisfaction that her eyes were dazed and her face remained turned up to his. Pressing one more soft kiss on her lips, and then making sure she wouldn't fall, he finally moved away to thank the judge.

Johnny and Reynaldo went to Carly. Johnny kissed her cheek and said, "Congratulations, Carly."

Smiling up at him, she said, "You two are probably the only two people in this town who are going to say that to me."

Reynaldo laughed, "Probably. But you might be surprised at how many of the guys think this is a great thing."

Carly laughed. Teasing them, she said, "You mean they won't all be wishing it was Robin he was marrying?"

Jason came back the see the three of them laughing. Smiling at the scene before him, he felt a sense of peace he had not felt since waking up from the coma. Somehow being married to Carly felt right. Moving over to her side, he placed his hand on her back. Giving Johnny and Reynaldo a look, they quickly left the penthouse.

Carly looked up at Jason and said, "Hello husband. Any regrets?"

He chuckled as he told her, "None, wife. How about you?"

With a soft, emotional voice, she said, "I will never regret anything with you. Thank you for thinking of the flowers and the rings. I love my ring. It is beautiful."

"I'm glad you like it. The lady at the jewelry store assured me it was the most beautiful."

Her hand twisted the ring around and around unused to the feel of it on her finger. Looking up at Jason uncertainly, she asked, "What should we do now? Normally, this is where the happy couple goes to their room to have sex. We aren't really normal, are we? But doing just the same old thing doesn't feel right either."

Jason smiled at her,saying, "I have a wedding present for you."

He took her hand, leading her up to one of the four rooms upstairs. She looked at him oddly, telling him, "I was just kidding about the sex, Jase. Not that I would mind that being my wedding present. But, you have to let a girl, especially one in my condition, prepare."

His eyes heated up, for a moment, looking her up and down. His eyes lingered on her chest and hips, which the pregnancy had made fuller. Her eyes widened at the smolder in his gaze. Her skin tightened in arousal. She darted her tongue out to wet her suddenly dry lips. His eyes followed the movement, and dropped down again at the appearance of her attentive nipples visible through the silk dress. He was so very tempted, knowing she wouldn't turn him away, but his eyes stopped on her pregnant belly. He remembered the promises he had just made to her to put their family first, and he wasn't sure that jumping back in bed would be protecting their family. He looked up to the ceiling, letting out a huge breath, forcing his body to release the sexual tension, at least as much as he could so things would not get out of hand.

Once he was under control again, and found it safe to look at her, he reached forward and opened the door. Inside, Jason had set up a sort of game room, which had a pool table in the center.

Carly's eyes lit up. "You got us a pool table?"

"Not just any pool table. Does it look familiar to you?" He asked with a grin.

She looked at it blankly for a moment, before recognition dawned. "This is the pool table from Jake's? When did you do that?" She asked, her eyes tearing up. She couldn't decide if the amount of time she had spent crying lately was due to pregnancy hormones or because Jason kept surprising her in the best of ways.

He nodded, then looked down at the table, inspecting it. "I had them fix it up and deliver it when you were dress shopping. Thank goodness it takes you forever to shop." He looked into her eyes again, and said, "I thought, since you definitely can't go to Jake's like that, that I would bring it to you."

Wiping her eyes, she told him, "Anyone who has ever wanted to change you is an idiot. You are absolutely perfect."

He gave her a crooked grin, and said, "Carly, I'm not perfect."

"Well, you and the rest of the world can think what you want. As your wife, I am allowed to think you are perfect. But, Jase, I didn't get you a gift. You have done so much for me, and I never even thought to get you a gift. If anyone is imperfect in this marriage, it's me."

He shook his head, walking over to her and brushing his thumb against her cheek. "You did give me a gift." When she looked up at him puzzled, he continued, "You have trusted me enough to make me a father. Everyone else looks at me as though I am not even capable enough to make my own choices. But, you… you are the only person who has never looked at me that way. Instead, you see someone who you trust to protect you and this baby. That is the best gift you could give me."

Carly burst into tears, and rushed into his arms. He ran his hands soothingly up and down her silk covered back. He was definitely going to have to do some more deep breathing to stifle the urges the feel of her skin was creating in him.

To distract himself, he told her, "I have been thinking about the paternity test."

She pulled back to look at him. "You have?"

"Well, I think that is going to be our biggest challenge. If we get a paternity test that says I am the father, we have a much bigger chance of winning. I'm pretty sure I can get it fixed in our favor."

She shook her head, with a wide smile on her face. "Just another way you are perfect, husband of mine. You break the rules so well."

He laughed. Then, grabbing the pool cues, he said, "Another gift for you, you can break. It's the only way you stand a chance of winning."

She gave him a sexy smirk. "Oh, you are on."
