I~ I've decided to go into a different direction involving the teen romances.
Emily and Lucky will be romantically involved instead. Liz won't be mentioned much. Nikolas will be in here, but he won't have a girlfriend until I can make one up. ~/I

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


"I'm Stefan Cassadine." The man announced.

Carly was shocked, Jason remained impassive.

Bobbie and Stefan explained how they "knew" each other briefly as teens, but at the time were going by different names. Bobbie, because Luke made her, Stefan to keep his identity unknown and out of the public eye.

Jason and Bobbie left to let Carly and Stefan speak alone.

"I was wondering, well first what should I call you?" Carly asked curious, but also nervous, the entire reason she was in town was to take down the Cassadine family, or Helena, now she found out that she was one of them. And Helena's her grandmother.

"It's up to you." Stefan replied also a bit nervous.

"Does Father seem ok?" Carly asked boldly, regaining her courage.

Stefan was taken aback by her forwardness, then smiled, "Father, would do nicely. "

"Well, Father, incase you are not aware I'm getting married on the 15th. I need someone to walk me down the aisle. Would you like to walk me down?" Carly asked, surprising herself, it was as though someone else was speaking, not her.

"It would be an honor to give my daughter away at her wedding." Stefan replied.

Carly grinned, "Great. I only have one request, don't tell anyone about the wedding. Jason doesn't want the Quartermaines to know about the wedding."

Stefan nodded his head, "I understand. Do you mind if I bring my nephew, your cousin, and my cousin?"

"Of course not. Although Lukes not going to be too happy, which makes it all the more fun." Carly divulged to him, flashing him her trademark grin.

Stefan smiled too, then pensively asked, "I do not wish to seem forward, but when is the baby due?"

"Oh, January." Carly got up and is about to go find Jason when she turned around, "Father, would you mind if I got married as Caroline Cassadine?"

Stefan stood quickly with tears in his eyes, "It would make me proud."


b** Later at the Penthouse **/b

Carly had called the minister and told him about the name change.
Now she was on the couch thinking, Jason was doing some paper work at the table.

"Jason, I've been thinking. I need your opinion on something."

Jason looked up, "What?"

"Well, we need a name for the baby." Carly declared him.

"Do we need one so soon?" Jason asked.

"Yes. I was thinking Evan James or Braden Alec if it was a boy, and Katlyn Andrea or Angela Christen is if it's a girl. Now which two do you like best?" Carly demanded stubbornly.

Jason sighed, "Well, if I had to chose, Braden if it's a boy, and Katlyn if it's a girl."

"Then it's settled. Now was that so hard?" Carly teased.



bI~*~ Wedding day ~*~/b/I


b** December 15, three pm **
** Carly's dressing room **/b


I* Emily, Carly, and V */I

Emily was wearing a very beautiful baby blue dress, it had a long skirt with long sleeves. The bodice is tight round the waist, but a bit loose at the top. Her hair was piled in ringlets on top of her head.

V was wearing basically the same design, but no sleeves and a wrap. Her hair was in elegant headband.

Carly was wearing a white, empire waist wedding dress. It's plain and elegant. The fabric is beautiful ivory satin. Her hair was also in ringlets on top of her head, but she has a tiara and a veil accompaniment, "So Emily, who'd you come to the wedding with?"

Emily blushed, "Um, well Lucky invited me. He's taking me up the aisle obviously."

"So, do you like him? Does he like you?" V prompted.

"Actually, we've been going out for awhile, but the Quartermaine's don't know, so shhh." Emily ordered.

Carly nodded understandingly, "My lips are sealed. Speaking of the Quartermaines, they don't know right?"

Emily shook her head, "No. Every guest and anyone else who knows has taken a vow of secrecy. They won't know until you want them to know."

"Great." Carly was relieved, she wanted the one thing Jason had requested to go right.

They all put the finishing touches on their hair and makeup.

V leaned over and whispers to Carly, "So are Robert and Anna coming?"

Carly nods, "Yeah, but just to the ceremony. They're in the back of the church."


b** Five minutes later **
** At the altar **/b

Jason watched as Emily came up the aisle on Lucky's arm.

Next came V.

Then Carly appeared at the back of the church on Stefan's arm

'God, she's so beautiful, I am very lucky. I love her so much.' Jason thought to himself.

Everyone turned to watch the bride. They were surprised, and very interested in the fact that Stefan Cassadine was giving Carly Roberts, a Spencer, away.


b** Ten minutes later **/b

"And do you Caroline Cassadine . . . " The murmur in the church gets so loud the minister had to wait for it to quiet down, then he finished.


b** Two minutes later **/b

"By the powers vested in me by God and the state of New York, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The minister told them proudly.

Jason and Carly kissed passionately.

"It gives me great honor to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Morgan." The minister announced.

Everyone clapped.


b** 20 minutes later **
** At the Reception- Lukes **/b

Luke pulled Jason and Carly into his office, "First question, why is Count Vlad, the demon spawn, and Alexis here?

"Because I invited them." Carly told him like it was obvious

"Ok, what's with Vlad giving you away?" Luke demanded insulted.

"He was carrying out his duty."

Luke was just getting more confused, "Third why the hell did you get married as Caroline Cassadine?"

"Because it's my name." Carly explained frustrated, not believing he wasn't picking up all the clues.

"What are you saying?" Luke ordered..

Jason was getting angry, he knew this can't be good for the baby, "Stefan Cassadine is Carly's father." Jason announced, just wanting it over.

"Since when?" Lukes questioned stunned.

"Since I was born. But I only found out two days ago. Bobbie will fill you in on the rest. Now we're going back to the party." Carly admitted to Luke.

Jason opened the door for her, and they leave Luke standing there with his mouth wide open, for once speechless.


b** Three hours later **/b

"All right, we need all single ladies on the floor." Carly commanded.

Since the wedding was relatively small, only about ten women came out. Among which are V, Bobbie, Emily, and, of course, Amy.

V wasn't really a willing participant, she hung out in the back. However when she suddenly saw something flying towards her and she instinctively caught it.
V looked down, and couldn't believe it, she'd caught the bouquet.

Jax had a very odd expression on his face. He was very lucky V didn't see it because it was hard to tell whether it was a look of happiness, or a look of terror.



~*~



b** Two hours later at the Penthouse **
** Jason and Carly's bedroom ** /b


Jason had gotten a "business" call, so he was downstairs.

Carly was talking to the baby, "Well the good news is the Quartermaines still don't know. The bad news is Luke is still freaking out about who your Grandfather is."

She worried about the Quartermaines and the Spencers until she fell asleep, alone, because Jason was still doing business until late into the night.



b** The next day ten am ** /b


Renaldo and Carly were going to Dr. Newman's for her appointment. Carly was still worried about the families.


b** One hour later at the end of the appointment **/b


The doctor was obviously distressed, "Your stress levels back up Carly. What's going on?"

"I got married last night. And my husband's family hates me. Then two days ago, I found my natural father, who my uncle hates." Carly confessed.

"God, Carly! On top of all that you got married? To whom?" She questioned.

"To Jason of course. It was beautiful wedding considering I put it together in only one week." Carly updated her contentedly.

"If you don't stop these strenuous activities, I'm going to have to confine you to bed again." The doctor warned.

"I don't plan on doing anything else. And I'll take it easy" Carly promised.

"Don't worry, there's only about three more weeks." The doctor told her smiling

Carly barely managed to stand up, "Trust me, I know. I count the days. It's getting really hard to stand up."


She left and started toward the elevators with Renaldo following. She thought about the Quartermaines, and how they were going to react to the situation of Carly getting married to Jason.


Carly was just past the reception desk when she ran into AJ, Renaldo started to intercept but Carly signaled him back.

"Carly, we have to talk. I'm going to make a deal with you, I'll drop the lawsuit if you agree to get a paternity test when the baby's born, to see whether it's Tony's child or mine." AJ offered.

Carly rubbed her temples, then repeated the same speech she had been giving since she broke up with Tony, "AJ, it's not your's or Tony's. It's Jason's baby, and mine. If you want to fight about this I'll be at Jason's." She smiled and added the new twist to it, "I'm sure my husband would be more than happy to take care of you, and your problem."

AJ started yelling, "WHAT?! Since when is it Jason's?! There's no way in hell that Jason's my baby's father! And since when are you married?! Wait, don't answer that, I don't want to know."

By now a big crowd has gathered, the kind that are attracted to fights like bees are to honey. Carly was starting to look pale, AJ didn't notice however. Renaldo did, and he was getting worried.

AJ continued ranting, "I'm not dropping the lawsuit anymore. As soon as that baby's born, I'll make sure you NEVER see that baby again."

Renaldo finally intercepted, but it was too late, Carly collapsed.

As doctors and nurses ran up AJ just stood there like the idiot he was, watching in astonishment.
Renaldo pulled out his cell-phone and made a phone call he was definitely not looking forward to.
