A/N: When the backup generators come the lights aren't back. It just means the air conditioning is working. Just for the record.
"Well- I am waiting" Courtney said.
Carly and Jax looked at one another. "I am in love with Carly." Jax told her.
"How long have you been together?" Courtney asked.
"Since the first time you let me bring John home for a weekend" Jax admitted. "I am sorry we kept this from you but we didn't want to rock an rocky boat"
Courtney looked at Carly, "And you love him too?"
"I do" Carly admitted, "I am sorry. I know you must hate me"
"No, I don't" Courtney said a moment later. "I am happy for you. Both of you"
Carly squealed and gave Courtney a hug, "I love you Courtney"
"I love you Carly" Courtney replied. "So- Jax have a seat"
Jax grinned at his ex and sat down beside Carly. The foursome was quiet for a moment.
"So- what's next for you Jax?" Nikolas asked.
"back to the MetroCourt" Jax said. "If Carly will have me"
Carly looked thoughtful, "Maybe I could use a handyman" she teased. "No- I would love to have you back here"
"Once I am settled back in here I was thinking of moving out of the apartment I have. It's nice but I need space for my son and Michael and Morgan"
"Michael and Morgan?" Carly questioned.
"Yes- if your living with me I assume Michael and Morgan will be too?" Jax replied.
Carly looked dumbfounded, 'I-uh" she stammered. "Don't you have to ask me first"
"You know the question" Jax responded.
"Then you know the answer" Carly shot back
"Well, would you two mind sharing with the class because I have no idea what is going on" Courtney piped in.
Carly and Jax laughed, "I just asked Carly to move in with me" Jax told her, "and she said yes"
"Good for you two" Nikolas said. He was really pleased that Jax and Carly found one another. "I hope all goes well for you"
"Thank you" Jax replied.
Carly started to laugh, "If that is how you ask me to move in with you then I wonder what a proposal looks like?" she teased.
Jax just grinned, "Something like this" he replied. "Now" he shouted.
Carly looked around and on the wall behind the bar were tiny, twinkling white lights. The lights were positioned to read, Caroline, will you marry me?
Carly felt tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to say. "I-uh" Carly started.
"Yes or no, Carly" Jax reminded, "It's a yes or no question."
"I-uh" Carly looked at Courtney and asked her friend for permission silently. Courtney nodded and smiled.
"Go ahead" Courtney said.
"Yes-yes, I will " Carly finally answered.
Jax kissed Carly and the room erupted in applause.
