[Picking up where we left off]


"It should be fine, as long as you follow my instructions." The doctor assured her, "Are you living with anyone?"

"Yes, Jason Morgan. He's the baby's father." Carly informed her.

Dr. Newman wrote something down, "Give this to him. It'll let him know what's going on, and give him instructions on how to care for you."

"Ok." Carly took the note apprehensively.



b** Ten minutes later at Jason's **/b


"How'd it go?" Jason questioned

Carly sighed, "Jason, I'm really tired, ask Renaldo, here this is from the doctor," she gave him the note, "and this is from me." She handed him the tape of the sonogram, "If you need me, I'll be in my bedroom."

She went up stairs, just wanting to be alone.


Jason turned to Renaldo concerned about Carly's behaviour, "How'd it go?"

Renaldo shook his head in sadness for the young woman, "Not good. On the way to the elevator on the way in she ran into Bobbie. Then getting off the elevator Tony. And I think something happened at the doctors, she was quiet the whole way home. It might have something to do with the note."

Jason read it, "I see, ok . . . The doctor wants me to make sure she doesn't leave bed, unless it's to go to the bathroom, or the doctor's office. She gave me a list of things she can and can't eat. Renaldo, have Pete go out and pick up everything we need. "


Renaldo nodded his head in acknowledgement, then left.


Jason gathered some things for Carly. He gathered all the naming and How To baby books and videos that Carly had bought and kept in the living room, the accounting books for Lukes, and as an after thought, the videocassette Carly had handed him.

When he got to Carly's room he saw Carly curled up as much as possible in bed gazing out the window, in the dark.

"I brought up some things so you wouldn't get bored. I also brought the tape that you gave me. What's on it?" Jason asked quietly, turning on the light.

"Pull up the TV, hand me the remote and I'll show you." Carly told him sighing.

Jason could tell she was depressed so he did so silently.

She put in the tape, "This is a tape of the sonogram."

"What's that?" Jason questioned.

"It's a video image of the baby made by sound waves." Carly explained.

When she got to a good spot, she pauses the tape. She pointed out the body parts recognizable, "That's a hand, those are legs, and that big thing is a head."

Seeing the tape made the baby real in Jason's eyes. Before it was just something that he knew was there, but just wasn't really comprehensible, until now.

He looked over at Carly, she was the complete opposite of Robin, full of life, vibrant, beautiful, passionate, she was a survivor, sure she lied to others but she never lied to him. Robin on the other hand not only betrayed him but she treated him like a child. She acted like she was better than he was. With Carly he was an equal, her best friend. He could picture himself with her forever. She was more than just a best friend to him.

It was the ideal kind of love, they were each other's best friends, there was a connection between them, and the sex was always good. He could trust her to trust him enough not to tell anything she overheard, or was told. Robin however he couldn't. Robin had taught him love, Carly was the one who put it to use. Though Robin tried to prevent it, Carly had captured his heart.

Jason turned back to the screen. That baby would be his. No matter what biology stated, it would his and Carly's baby.
He glanced back at Carly. She had fallen asleep watching sonogram tape. She looked so young when she slept. Jason knew he would do anything to protect her and their baby.

He would have stayed longer but when he looked at his watch he saw it was almost time for Sonny to call.
Before he left Jason whispered to the sleeping figure, "I love you Carly."


b** Four minutes later in Jason's office **/b

The phone rang, Jason picked it up, "Morgan."

"Hey Jase." Sonny greeted.

"Sonny, how are things? Everything's running like clockwork here with business." Jason reported.

"Things are fine. How's Carly?" Sonny asked curious.


Jason had told Sonny about the entire situation- well at least everything that had happened before his last call a week ago.

"Not good. The situation with Tony, Bobbie, and AJ is stressing her out too much. She's on bed rest for at least a week. The baby could be premature if it keeps up." The strain in his voice gives him away.

"You sound like you really care about her." Sonny observed.

"I love her." Jason admitted to him.

"So there's no chance on reconciliation between you and Robin?" Sonny questioned.

"She lied to me. Besides, I don't love her anymore, at least not like that."

"As long as you're happy." Sonny finally told him, "How are things at Lukes?"

Jason was thankful for the change in subject, talking about Robin always got him upset, "Great. I put Carly on the books last week. She's already found mistakes and corrected them, making Luke $30,000's richer."

Sonny was impressed, "Wow. I bet Luke's happy."

"Well, he knows about the money, but not who's doing the books." Jason explained, "Right now he's pissed at Carly for telling Bobbie before he could."

"Why did she tell Bobbie" Sonny pressed.

"She didn't want the baby to grow up with out its Grandmothers, cousins, and whatever else there is."


b** The next day about the same time (six pm) **/b

Carly started yelling, "JASON! Get up here!"
