Hi everyone! It's nice to receive a lot of positive feedback. Well, I was mainly stuck between two characters for Jason's wife before I posted the first chapter. And I finally chose one yesterday. And you'll soon see who it is.

Oh, some changes too: Since many of the residents of GH will be making an appearance, the following cast changes are:

Emily Bowen - Amber Tamblyn

Lucky Spencer - Jonathan Jackson or Jacob Young

Carly Benson - Sarah Brown

Laura Webber Spencer - Genie Francis - ok not a cast change, but I don't want her to be catatonic or crazy. She's same old down to earth Laura.

Enjoy!!

Chapter 2: Cranberries: MIA

Showers never lasted more than twenty minutes for Jason Morgan. So when he heard fifteen different voices in the foyer of his home, he questioned how long it took him to wash up. Just as he was about to open his closet, he eyed the outfit laying on the bed for him. Definitely his wife's doing. He sighed and slipped on the dark slacks and blue collared shirt, but didn't bother with the tie. As he attempted to button the cuffs of his shirt, a little girl ran into his room.

"Daddy! Daddy!" she screamed as she jumped into his lap. She was oblivious to the wrinkles she had already created on her new sky blue dress. The girls' eyes twinkled the same cerulean blue of his own eyes while her mother's sparkling smile spread across her face. "Aunt Emlee heerree!" she exclaimed in the universal toddler accent. Jason laughed at her daughter's excitement and kissed her forehead.

~~~ Flashback ~~~

Jason began suggesting names, but his wife complained with each one. They had already chosen the middle name: Lillian, for Lila. Jason never realized that his wife was picky with names. "The name has to have a good meaning, 'In the valley' is not something I want to name my child," she complained at the last name Jason proposed. After an hour of debating over names and looking through the baby name book, Jason finally suggested one last name.

"How about Hayley? It means hero, it's not too long and it doesn't sound like a, what did you call the last one, a 75 year old woman's name," Jason teased.

"I like it," she stated simply, her eyes dancing at the sound of the name; she pointed down to their daughter and Jason saw how the baby had reacted to the name. "Hayley, it's perfect."

Jason cuddled his new family close to his arms. "Welcome to our family, Hayley Lillian Morgan."

~~~ End Flashback ~~~

"Well, what do you say we go say hi to Aunt Emily and her family, sweetheart," Jason suggested as he scooped his beloved daughter, Hayley, into his arms.

"Yay!" she clapped her tiny hands together in excitement. Holding his daughter, Jason proceeded to the living area where he spotted not only his little sister and her husband Nikolas, but also half of the Quartermaine family. Lila was radiant as always, and Edward was having another dispute with Alan and Monica. The children, Morgan Corinthos and Steven Bowen - Cassadine were being watched none other by cute red headed Michael Corinthos. Jason couldn't believe it had been ten years since he first held Michael in his arms. "Hey buddy," Jason greeted his son as he placed Hayley down next to Morgan.

"Hi Uncle Jason!" Michael hugged in reply. "Is Lulu coming? It's boring with the little kids," the boy complained, pointing towards a scene of little Hayley forcing Morgan and Steven to play tea party with her.

"She'll be here soon Mike, don't worry." Jason laughed. He never imagined that the immediate friendship between Michael Corinthos and Lulu Spencer would spark back the relationship between Sonny and Luke. Luke still had problems with Jason, however, and the same went for Jason. Before Jason could talk some more with Michael, a boisterous voice called out his name from the kitchen.

"Don't tell me something happened to the turkey," Edward Quartermaine said sternly, "I came all this way to finally have a decent Thanksgiving without pizza, if you ruin this for Lila, Jason, I swear - "

"Edward, Edward, enough. Just stay here, and don't threaten me with Lila's name again," Jason warned to his grandfather. Jason could not believe the nerve of his grandfather; he really hoped for Hayley's sake he would not have to blow up at his grandfather for being so menacing and stubborn. He also could not believe his wife had invited the Quartermaines; he knew she did, even though she claimed she only invited Lila and the rest tagged along. Jason let out a big sigh and tried to prepare himself before entering the kitchen; for his own sake he hoped his wife would have a cooked turkey ready to carve.

Jason was shocked; he blinked his eyes hard to make sure he was seeing clearly. The kitchen was sparkling, the counters were lined with scrumptious food, and delectable deserts were arranged carefully on a party tray. And at the end of the kitchen was his wife, smiling at him, looking just as delicious. "Knocks your socks off, doesn't it?" she grinned proudly, "told ya I didn't need any help."

"You sure told me," Jason remarked and wrapped one arm around her waist. "What?" he questioned. He knew that look on her face, the same look that seemed to always get her and himself into trouble.

"There's just one little - "she started as innocently as she could.

"What did you do Carly?" Jason sighed. He couldn't help but smile at the way she was now biting her bottom lip.

"I forgot the cranberry sauce, so I need someone to go out and get cranberries," she requested.

"You're kidding, right?"

"Please, please please," she begged," we can't have a dinner without cranberry sauce, I mean what would we use to season the turkey!"

"Gravy," Jason stated simply as he leaned against wall. Carly groaned at the mention of gravy and punched her husband for forgetting about her last run in with gravy.

~~~ Flashback ~~~

"I guess the baby doesn't like gravy," Jason joked. Of course it may as well have been the poor cooking of his wife.

"Not funny Jason!" a pregnant Carly yelled as she started to run back to the bathroom.

~~ End Flashback ~~~

She stomped out of the kitchen. If he wasn't going to cooperate, then he had to suffer the consequences, she thought to herself. Carly snickered and headed towards the living room. Jason could not believe his wife wanted him to go back out and get cranberries. It had just started to snow outside, and he did not want to go deal with crabby cashiers during a holiday. All the while, his wife started to announce the dilemma to the guests. "What do you mean no cranberry sauce!" Jason heard Edward yell, "Jason you get out of that kitchen and go -"

"Edward, be quiet, you're scaring the kids," Monica scolded.

"Well, we don't need cranberry sauce, do we? I mean there is a turkey at least, that's more than we've ever had" Emily voiced.

"Assuming there is a turkey, how are we going to eat it!" Edward yelled yet again.

"With a fork," Lucky snickered.

"Don't be smart with me young man!"

"Well, he's right, I mean a turkey with no dressing is pretty senseless," Nickolas remarked.

"Whose side are you on?" Emily asked towards her husband, inching away from him.

Pretty soon, the entire living room was filled with arguments about cranberry sauce and turkey. Jason could not stand it anymore. He shook his head and re-entered the living room. He noticed that most, if not all, of the guests were all waiting for dinner now. Sonny and his family, the Quartermaines, Emily and Nikolas, Bobbie, Lucas, Laura, Lulu, Lucky and Liz (she came as a Spencer family friend and also later became friends with Carly) were anxiously waiting to eat a traditional Thanksgiving meal. All they needed was for Jason to go out and bring back cranberry sauce. As soon as he stepped in view, all the guests silenced themselves and stared at Jason. His wife smirked at him while the little kids looked at him with curious faces. "I'll get my jacket," Jason sighed. Most of the guests cheered while others couldn't care less and proceeded to chat about other things. But Carly wasn't finished with her husband just yet.

"Hon," Carly called. Jason turned towards her with an annoyed yet loving look upon his face. "Since you're going out, Mama wanted to know if you could pick up Uncle Luke at his club. He was stuck cleaning up and didn't want to walk all the way here," she informed with a wide smile on her face.

"He doesn't have a car?" Jason questioned his wife. She simply shook her head, the smile not faltering to leave her face. Now thoroughly annoyed, Jason threw his helmet back into the closet and picked up the car keys instead of his motorcycle ones. "You owe me," was all he said as he walked out into the November snow.

Carly didn't take her eyes off of Jason until he was no longer in plain view. She grinned and patted her stomach lightly as she went to return to the many guests. She looked down at her midsection; "Don't you just love your Daddy, little one?"

A/N: Sooo, what'd you think!! I really wanna hear your opinions about Carly being Jason's wife.

This is with the whole Carly not remembering her love for Sonny thing, so it's kind of like new Carly that's on GH now, but with Sarah Brown playing the character. Tamara Braun might work too, but I always thought Sarah had so much more chemistry with Steve Burton. I was hesitant to have the wife be Carly, because of the fact that Sarah wasn't on the show anymore, but I was convinced by a number, like 5 or 6 people e mailing me their thoughts (hey guys, next time, try submitting a review, hee hee).

So please review and tell me what you think. If it seems like not enough people are interested in the Jason/Carly coupling….hmmm…I guess we'll wait and see.

Ok, thanks for reading and don't forget a review!
