Allowing Carly to see John was not an easy decision for me. Every time I looked at Carly I saw the lie. No, I didn't have some amazing change of heart over night-there are two reasons I changed my mind.
First because of Courtney. Courtney loved Carly- matter how bad Carly was Courtney loved her and would want Carly to be apart of John's life. I felt the need to honor that.
The other reason was Michael and Morgan. Carly has great kids who would be good for my son. But I couldn't just let Michael and Morgan see John-I had to allow Carly also.
Those were my original reasons and I felt justified in my decision. No one else understood-least of all Robin. I didn't care though.
Now things have changed. John is almost 3 years old and Carly sees him everyday-which means I have seen her everyday. At first it was torture being around her but somewhere along the way it stopped being so bad. I learned some of her better qualities and even found a way to respect her.
I watched her cry for Jax and watched her get angry when he never came home. She held my hand when Emily married Sonny- she knew how I felt. The two of us helped each other get back into the dating world and was always there with a shoulder or an ear. Before I knew it Carly went from being a burden to being a friend. I honestly couldn't wait to hear her voice or see her smile everyday.
Lucky asks me to this day how I can spend so much time with Carly and I just smile and tell him that now I understand Carly.
A/N: This is more of a Carly/Nik frienship but I am thinking of expanding the story. Let me know what you think. Reveiws are love-ok?
