Chapter 5
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Carly looked at him like he was crazy, she loved him, but what the hell was he doing asking her to marry him, he didn't love her really, "What? Are you serious?"
Jason nodded his head, "Of course I'm serious, I can't lie. Besides, I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."
Tears sprang to Carly's eyes, "Jason yes! God YES!" She hugs him.
Jason opened the box, revealing the ring, "I hope you like it, and that it fits."
Carly put in on and gazed at it, "Perfect fit. It's beautiful. When do you want to get married?"
"Next week. I'll arrange a church, minister, and get a license." Jason told her.
Carly nodded her head, "I'll agree on two conditions. I can invite my family. Bobbie would kill me if I didn't invite her."
"You can invite anyone you want." Jason agreed, but made a condition as well, "Except some of the Quartermaines. Emily, Lila, and Ned are ok though. And try to keep it a secret, the Quartermaines might try to crash so tell people not to mention it. Now, what's the other thing?"
"I want to have a reception." Carly told him firmly.
"Do what ever you want when it comes to the wedding, and whatever else is entailed with one." Jason declared her, letting her do whatever she wanted.
Carly stood up in a panic, "I've got so much to do. God I am soooooo happy. I can't believe that you asked me to marry you."
"Carly, I love you. I don't know why it took me so long to realize it." Jason admitted.
Carly looked into his eyes, "I do, Robin. Jason, I have a question, and I want an answer to it. If Robin came back and wanted to be with you again, would you go back to her?"
Jason shook his head no, "There is no one else in the world for me, besides you. Robin left my heart forever the moment she went behind my back, and asked Sonny to fire me."
Carly smiled, "Good answer."
She kisses him.
b** The next day at Bobbie's **/b
Carly knocked on the door.
A few moments later Bobbie opened it smiling.
Bobbie's smile disappeared when she saw who it was, "Oh, it's you."
"Bobbie, I don't want to fight, can I please come in?" Carly pleaded.
Bobbie grimaced, but she opened the door to let Carly, Renaldo, and Johnny in.
"I don't want to disturb you, but I know you'll be even angrier with me if I don't let you know." Carly explained.
Bobbie has taken interest.
Carly's eyes started to tear up, "I'm sorry for not telling you before, about me being Caroline. And as for Tony, it wasn't for revenge. I really loved him."
"As in past tense." Bobbie observed.
Carly started crying, "Yeah. After he threatened to take custody of my baby, well that turned off all pleasant feelings toward him. But I did love him. I'm sorry."
Bobbie's amazed that her daughter is in her living room apologizing. Bobbie had gotten over Tony really fast, she wasn't really mad at her any more, just hurt. All feelings of angry disappeared as she looked at her baby's face, she could tell that she really meant it.
Renaldo and Johnny could tell it was going to get touchy feely in here so they decided to go stand guard at the front and back doors.
By now both of the women had tears streaming down their faces.
"I forgive you." Bobbie controlled herself then continued, "Now why are you here?"
Carly used a Kleenex to wipe away her tears and laughed, "I came to invite you and Lucas to a wedding."
"Who's?" Bobbie asked curious.
"Mine."
Bobbie stood up, "What?! To who?"
Carly smileed, "Jason asked me to marry him. We want to get married before the baby comes, so the weddings next week. I wanted to invite family and friends. And I wanted you to . . . " Carly trailed off as Bobbie interrupted.
"I can't believe that my daughters getting married. You want me to what?"
"Will you help me pick out a dress, make preparations . . . you know things that the mother does to help her daughter with her wedding." Carly asked cautiously.
Bobbie's eyes filled up again, "I'd love to. Who's going to give you away?"
"I know that we don't get along, but he's the only male relative I know . . . "
"Who'd you have in mind?"
"I was thinking of Uncle Luke." Carly admitted, "I don't think he'll do it though He only just forgave me. He won't want to take me down the aisle."
"You know, no matter what he says he really likes you." Bobbie confided.
Carly was skeptical, so she decided to wait awhile until she asked him, "Well, anyway, we've got a lot of work to do."
"We're going to do it all ourselves?" Bobbie asked, starting to feel overwhelmed.
Carly calmed her immediately, "No, just give me a minute to make a few calls, then I'll have two more helpers."
b** 30 minutes later **/b
When the doorbell rang, Bobbie got up and answered it. She was surprised at who Carly had apparently called. Emily, and a woman she doesn't know.
They follow her to the living room where Carly is.
"God, Carly, your getting so big." V squealed.
"Thanks." Carly retorted sarcastically.
"So, what's going on?" Emily brightly asked.
Carly held out her left hand.
"Oh my GOD. Who?" V asked, but knowing somehow in the back of her mind.
"Jason. The wedding is next week, on Monday, December 15. We're going to have to hurry if we get it planned on time. V, will you be my maid of honor, and Emily will you be a bridesmaid? Well, frankly the only bridesmaid." Carly admitted.
V and Emily answer together enthusiastically, "Of course!"
"We need to go dress shopping today. I'm going to let you create your own dresses, well except I'm picking the color." Carly explained.
"I'm afraid to ask, but what color?" V questioned cringing, having been a bridesmaid before in an assignment. Her dress was a horrible lime green taffeta.
"Baby blue of course." Carly answered her as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Emily laughs, "It does seem strangely appropriate given your condition."
Carly laughs too, "I know. Now lets get going."
b** 15 minutes later **/b
Carly rang a bell on the counter.
An elderly man came out, "Hello, I'm Mr. James Caulfield. How can I help you?"
"Can you make a wedding dress, and maid of honor dress, and a brides maid dress in one week?" Carly asked up front.
"Depends, how much are you willing to spend?" James responded her.
Carly uttered the words every designer dreamed of, "Moneys no object."
James beamed at her, "Then you can call me James. We'll get right on your order."
He whistled into the backroom, "Demitri, Ariana! Get out here!"
A man and a woman who looked to be in their mid-twenties came out running.
"Demitri, you take the maid of honor, Ariana, the bridesmaid" He ordered.
"They'll be designing their own dresses. The only restriction is that the dresses are going to be baby blue." Carly instructed.
They are all hustled into rooms.

b** The Penthouse **
** Six hours later **/b
Carly was making the guest list, " . . . and Lucky Spencer plus guest. That's it, we've got the dresses designed, invitations ready, flowers ordered, and we're having a small reception at Lukes. All that's left is showing up next week. Unless you don't have a tux . . . "
"Don't worry, I've got a tux." Jason assured her.
"Oh, I almost forgot, do you have a best man, and an usher?" Carly asked skeptical.
"No." Jason shook his head.
"Ok, then I'll let V and Emily's dates be the best man and usher." Carly determined after thinking a moment.
Carly called V and Emily. They agreed to talk Jax and whomever Emily brought into it.
Carly clapped her hands in excitement, "It's all set, well except for someone walking me down the aisle, but that's easily remedied. Now, it's late. I'm going to bed."
"I'll be up in a couple hours. I've got some business to take care of." Jason informed her.
Carly knew better than to ask questions, she just nodded her head and went upstairs.
~*~
Jax and V were in bed; she was on her knees begging, "Jax please?"
Jax shook his head, "No. I'm not being best man for that mobster."
"Then do it for Carly." V pleaded.
"No way." Jax resolved, "I'm not being a bloody best man at Sonny Jr.'s wedding. Besides, I've never even met her."
V got into his lap and gazed at him with her pleading big dark eyes, "Please Jax, for me."
She started to kiss his bare chest.
Jax quickly began to cave.
Jax groaned, "You know I can't say no when you do that."
She stopped kissing, her eyes sparkled, "Yep, and that one of the many reasons I love you."
She started to crawl out of his lap, when Jax grabbed her and pulled her back, "You're not going to start something you won't finish are you?"
V kissed him then teased him, "But I have to get up early tomorrow. My boss is such a slave driver"
"Oh, I think he'll be lenient tomorrow." He kissed her collarbone.
"Well when you put it that way . . . " V trailed off, let herself be pinned on the bed.
Jax and V continued with "adult" activities until the early morning hours, when they fell asleep, Jax's arms wrapped tightly around V.
~*~
b** The next morning, in Jason's room **
** 7:30am **/b
The phone ringing woke Carly up.
She had been asleep in Jason's arms, who seemed oblivious to the phone.
She had to think at first whether or not it was safe, and allowed to answer this phone, it was safe, "Hello?" she answered groggily sitting up, "Bobbie calm down . . . What do you mean, you know who he is? . . . Who, who is?"
By now Jason had woken up, Carly's movements and conversation caused him to take notice. He was still half-asleep, but woke up fully when he saw Carly get pale.
"What? . . . Yeah, we'll be right over."
"What did Bobbie want?" Jason asked, worried about his fiancée's health.
"We need to got to the Brownstone, Now. My fathers there." Carly divulged to him quietly
Jason was confused, "But I thought Bobbie didn't know who your dad was."
Carly got up and started changing, "So did I. She lied. She wouldn't tell me who it was over the phone. She just said that he lives in Port Charles now. Apparently he wants to speak to me."
Now Jason was up, he was putting on his jeans and a shirt. He called Pete at the door and ordered him to get a car.
b** 20 minutes later **
** In front of the Brownstone **/b
Carly gathered her courage, and knocked on the door. Bobbie opened it immediatly, before Jason followed Carly into the house, he signaled for Pete and Joey to wait at the front door, and for Renaldo to come with them.
In the living room was a man Carly had never seen before. He was wearing expensive black clothing. He had a goatee/beard and eyes that seemed stern, but looked upon her with kindness.
Even though Carly didn't recognize him, Jason did, "You're Carly's father?"
The man nodded his head, "Yes, allow me to introduce myself, I'm Stefan Cassadine."
