Carly awoke the next morning to the sound of a door closing. She sat up and looked around. She was in Jax's room. "Jax" she called.

He came into the room carrying a tray. "Lights are back on" he said. "And breakfast is here"

Carly smiled, "I love you"

"I love you" Jax replied. "Now eat!"

Carly took a piece of fruit and started to pick at it. She wasn't really hungry. She had so much to do that day- starting with making sure all was right with the hotel after the blackout.

"Maintenance is already making the rounds," Jax informed her as if reading her mind. They think everything and everyone is ok"

"Good" Carly said. "But really we should get up and …"

Before she could finish her statement Jax jumped on her and pinned her down. "No mam" he said, "You are not going anywhere"

"Jax" Carly whined, "We have so much to do today. Let me up"

"No- we have to celebrate" Jax insisted.

"We already celebrated" Carly reminded him.

"This requires much more celebration," Jax advised her. He leaned into kiss her but the moment was disturbed by a knock. Jax groaned and looked at Carly, "I will be right back"

"Ok" carly laughed and watched him leave.

A moment later the door opened and she could her voices but she wasn't sure who it was.

"Carly" Jax called. "Come out here"

Carly stood up and found a bathrobe. She wrapped it around herself and went out to greet whoever was at the door.

"Hi Courtney" Carly said when she saw her friend. "Hi John" Carly cooed to her nephew.

Courtney smiled, "Hi Carly- can we sit?"

"Sure"Carly said. She and Courtney had a seat. "What's up?"

"Jax-please sit with us?" Courtney asked.

Jax sat down beside Carly and took her hand. "Go on" Jax prompted.

"Nikolas and I decided that we would love to throw you an engagement party," Courtney told them. "So- I thought we could talk about a date"

Carly and Jax exchanged a look, "Nikolas wants to throw us an engagement party?" Jax echoed looking doubtful.

"Nikolas is jumping for joy that you two are together" Courtney replied.

Jax laughed, "Because now I wotn try to get in between the two of you, right?" he asked.

Courtney nodded. "So, date for engagement party? I don't think it will take me longer than a couple of days to plan"

Carly and Jax exchanged another look, "How about two weeks from today?" Carly asked.

"Sounds perfect" Courtney replied. "The two of us can start planning tomorrow when you aren't so busy"

"Wait. Wait. Courtney-you have a wedding to get ready for- remember?" Carly asked.

"Yes- and you offered to help. So let me do this for you and then we will worry about my wedding " Courtney said.

"I love you Courtney" Carly said with tears in her eyes.

"I love you too," Courtney told her. Courtney wiped the tears from her eyes and then looked at Jax. "We need to talk about this little one"

Jax nodded in agreement. "We need to make solid custody arrangements"

"How about we keep it loose?" Courtney asked. "Every other weekend. A couple of weeks in the summer. Take him on trips- as long as you check with me first. How does that sound?"

"Sounds reasonable" Jax agreed. He leaned forward and hugged her "Thanks" he whispered.

"No problem" Courtney whispered the reply. "Take care of my friend"

"Of course" Jax told her.

"I better go" Courtney announced. "Call me later"

"Of course" Carly answered as she walked Courtney to the door. The two friends embraced and then Courtney left.

"We better go down stairs" Carly said. "I am going to jump in the shower"

"Can I join you?" Jax asked.

Carly didn't respond she just left the room with a smile on her face. Everything was working out for the best for everyone. As she got ready for her shower she thought of Jason, Elizabeth, Sam and Lucky- maybe things weren't working out for everyone she reminded herself to check on Jason and lucky that day.
