Dear Diary Chapter 46, a general hospital fanfic

Disclaimer-don't own the song it's from Anastasia's soundtrack

Carly grinned as she walked over to the stereo and put in the CD and fast forward to the right track and smiled when Donna Lewis's voice streamed through the speakers.

we were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we'd have to go through
Now here we are, I'm suddenly standing
At the beginning with you

Jason held his hand out to his new bride who smiled as she accepted it and was led onto the deserted dance floor and wrapped her arms around his neck as his arms wrapped around her waist pulling her close as they swayed. Neither caring that they weren't really dancing because they were in each other's arms and that was all they wanted. Courtney rested her head on his shoulder and was thankful that Carly was just as much a romantic and herself and even if Anastasia was a 'kids' movie they both loved it because it fit their lives.

Courtney remembered how they started out as strangers her a waitress he her customer perfect strangers yet they both felt the attraction and then all the struggles they had to go through to get where they were now. She smiled and pulled him closer since they were standing at the beginning again together.

No one told me i was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to my heart
When i lost hope; you were there to remind me
This is the start

Jason held his wife in his arms and also remembered their first meeting. He had just gone to Kelly's to get a cup of coffee when a young and some would consider naïve waitress was having a hard time so he helped her out and then she actually thanked him and struck up a conversation having no idea who he was, never fearing him. She touched his heart in a way no one else ever had or could she saw past the ice and the 'enforcer' to the man he really was. He also remembered their time in France when he told her no one had to tell him how to love her or that he should it just came so easy for him. She gave him hope because no matter how bad it got she was always there for him always smiling and giving him her strength even if she was the one who needed it from him she just gave him strength and hope no matter what.

And life is a road that i wanna keep going
Love is a river, i wanna keep flowing
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I'll be there when the world stops turning
I'll be there when the storm is through
In the end i wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Both knew as they swayed their life was a journey but it didn't matter how many pit stops or bumps and turns in the road they'd travel it together just as they were always meant to. Jason decided he'd actually be there for his wife instead of always running out to do business, take care of Carly or Sonny's mess. Courtney decided she'd be there for her husband instead of giving into fear she'd stand up for him and next to him not fighting him but for him. They had a journey to take and they'd travel it together not stopping for anyone because this was the beginning and they were starting it together.

We were strangers on a crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you

They listened to the words and remember they had started out as strangers going on different crazy adventures. Her stalking his murder trial, the different adventures they took because of Carly or Sonny or both and yet it didn't matter because their dreams were coming true again. Jason finally had the wife he always wanted a woman who was strong, kind, beautiful not just on the outside, smart, sometimes innocent and refreshing and yet wise beyond her years. Courtney finally had a man who let her be weak and lean on him, loved her for her never wanted her to give him something and she never asked him for anything. He didn't expect her to just smile at everything he wanted her fears, her tears and her dreams so he could make them his own. She finally had her family she had a husband and a son and if there weren't others that was ok because she was finally a mother her biggest dream come true.

Jason was finally thinking of the future he'd have with his wife and son and so was Courtney. This was the beginning of their lives and they were facing it together both unafraid of the struggles because they'd face them together they were stronger that way.

Knew there was somebody, somewhere
Like me alone, in the dark
Now i know my dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna tear us apart

Jason pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head since she was resting it on his shoulder and realized what he had said to Sonny was true he had been sleeping and was awake with her. Before her he was in the dark alone just going through the motions of living but she pulled him out the dark into the light just as he pulled her out of the darkness of living life through the motions of some innocent little girl when she was anything but. He knew of her past he did the research of course he'd never tell her that but he knew what she went through and was shocked at how vibrant and innocent she still was not bitter and jaded despite it all. He knew they could travel their journey through life together nothing would fully tear them apart sure they might separate taking different paths but he knew they'd always merge later on.

Yeah

Life is a road that i wanna keep going
Love is a river, i wanna keep going on

Starting out on a journey

Life is a road that i wanna keep going
Love is a river, i wanna keep flowing
In the end i wanna be standing
At the beginning with you

Courtney looked up into his blue eyes and he kissed her then looked into her clear blue eyes, "I love you and I definitely want to keep traveling this journey with you."

Courtney grinned and kissed him then smiled, "I wouldn't have it any other way. We're standing at the beginning of our life and I'm so glad it's with you. I love you Jason Morgan thank you for making all my dreams come true."

Jason grinned, "I love you Courtney Morgan and I was only returning the favor thank you for giving me my heart's secrete wish."
