Jason and Courtney finally arrive at the MetroCourt after an hour and a half of pictures. Courtney's mouth hurts from all the smiling she's done and yet she can't seem to make herself stop. She looks up and Jason and he looks back down at her. He leans down to kiss her before opening the double doors.
Everyone cheers and welcomes the newlyweds when they walk through the door. Jason and Courtney go in separate directions thanking and hugging different people before meeting up with Audrey and Noah. Audrey and Noah take turns hugging Jason and Courtney. Audrey grabs Courtney's hand and squeezes it. "Congratulations, Mrs. Morgan." Courtney smiles. "Thank you, step-daughter." Audrey shakes her head. "Daughter." Tears fill both women's eyes and they hug tightly. "I was hoping you would say that." Audrey steps back into Noah's arms and watches Jason and Courtney walk away and mingle with the other guests.
"I'm proud of you, Audrey." She turns her head towards him. "For what?" "For handling this so well. I know this is hard for you. You're scared that you're going to lose him." Audrey nods her head. "I was. But I'm not now. Courtney would never try to push me out of his life like Sam did. And Jason and I talked about it and he reassured me that I will always be the most important person in his life. That's all I needed to hear." Noah drops his head down and kisses Audrey's hair. "You'll always be the most important person in my life too." Audrey wraps her arm around Noah's neck. "I love you." "I love you, too."
After talking to everyone Jason and Courtney finally get a chance to sit down. Everyone else follows suit. Audrey takes the chair on the other side of Jason and Noah takes the one next to her. Sonny and Carly sit on the other side of Courtney. The food is delivered and everyone talks quietly to the people around them. When the food is taken away Emily lifts her glass and taps it with her knife. Courtney giggles at the longtime tradition. She looks over at Jason and notices the pale blush in his cheeks. He clears his throat before turning to his bride and kissing her gently. Everyone cheers and Jason can't help but smile.
Audrey takes a deep breath before standing up and tapping her glass. All eyes turn towards her and she has to count to ten to calm down before starting her maid of honor speech. Noah rubs her back and she turns her head and smiles at him. She looks back out at the crowd and puts down her speech deciding to just speak from her heart. "I have never witnessed a greater love than the love that you two. When I am with you your love and happiness radiates and brightens the entire room. I haven't known…either of you for very long and yet I feel like I've known you both a lifetime. And I know that your lives don't work a part. You complete each other in the best ways." She stops to take a breath and looks over at Jason and then Courtney. "You guys are my inspiration in love. I strive to have the kind of love with Noah that you two share. I never really knew what love was until I met you, Dad. You have shown me what unconditional, pure love looks like and I will be forever grateful. I wish you two the very best. I love you both so much. I couldn't have asked for a better father…or mother. Congratulations." She raises her glass and everyone else does the same. "To Jason and Courtney. May this marriage last for the rest of your lives." Audrey smiles and brings her glass to her lips taking a long sip of champagne.
She sits back down and Noah puts his arm around her. "That wasn't so hard, was it?" Audrey gives him a small smile. Courtney stands up and moves the few steps to Audrey. She smiles down at her and pulls her out of her chair embracing her tightly. "That was the most beautiful speech. Thank you so much." "I meant every word of it." Jason pushes his chair back and stands next to the two most important women in his life. He hugs Audrey before taking Courtney's hand and leading her onto the dance floor.
They stop in the middle of the floor and Courtney looks at him in amazement. "What are you doing?" "Dancing with my wife. I thought that was what I was supposed to do." "Well, yeah, but you hate dancing." "You love it." Courtney smiles and wraps her arms around Jason. She lays her head on his shoulder and allows him to lead her all around the dance floor.
After a few minutes other couples make their way to the floor. By the end of the song half of Port Charles is spinning and gliding across the floor. Audrey smiles as Noah spins her around. She looks up at Noah and sighs. "I like it here." Noah laughs. "Well, that's good." She smiles. "No, I really like it here. I want to live here forever. With you. With Jason and Courtney." Noah tightens his grip on Audrey's waist. "You don't know how glad I am to hear that. I was so scared that you were going to realize that you wanted something bigger and better than here. Than me." Audrey stops dancing and holds Noah's face between her hands. "There is nothing in this world better than you. You were there for me during two of the roughest parts of my life. When we were in the cellar you kept me sane. I wouldn't have survived that if it weren't for you. You complete me in the same way that my dad completes Courtney. I love you. I will always love you." Noah leans his head down and kisses Audrey.
Jason walks over to the young couple and taps Audrey on the shoulder. She looks his way and smiles. "May I have this dance, Miss Morgan?" "I was waiting for you to ask." Noah kisses her hand before giving it to Jason and watching as he leads her out to the dance floor. After a few seconds, Jason breaks the silence. "You know, it won't be too long before we'll be doing this again at your wedding." Audrey giggles. "Oh, Dad, we have a few years to go." "A few years go faster than you might think." "I really love him, Dad." Jason smiles. "I know you do. He loves you too. Trust me, I've made sure." Audrey laughs loudly. "That doesn't surprise me. How many times did you threaten bodily harm?" "A few." "I'm really happy you came around to him. He's really good to me." "Why do you think I haven't made good on any threats?" Audrey shakes her head.
"I'm so glad that I found you. I know that I said some terrible things to you when we first met and I want you to know that I didn't mean any of them and it makes me nauseous just thinking about how badly I hurt you." Tears start to form in her eyes. "I am your daughter through and through and I wouldn't change that for the world. Every good thing about me came from you. Don't get me wrong, I love Mom. But when I was with her, I was in pain. With you, I feel nothing but love and acceptance." The tears start to fall from her eyes and Jason wipes them away.
"You know that I'm not very good at feelings and talking but you are my greatest achievement. Before you I was good at one thing and that was my job. Now I feel like my life has purpose and meaning. I don't just drift through life now. You will never know how sorry I am that I missed out on so much of your life. I missed most of your big accomplishments but I will never miss a thing again. I will be there when you graduate college. I will walk you down the aisle and unwillingly give you away to Noah. I will be there when you experience the joys of having your own child. I will never let you down again." Courtney wipes away another tear. "You have never let me down. I love you so much." Jason hugs Audrey tightly. "I love you, too. Always remember that." He kisses her head and watches as she walks over to Noah.
Courtney comes up behind him and wraps her arm around his waist. "Are you ready?" Jason nods. Courtney hugs his waist before walking to the far side of the dance floor. She nods at Carly who stands up and gets everyone's attention. "All right, ladies, it is time for Courtney to throw the bouquet. All single women please come to the dance floor." Audrey walks to the dance floor and smiles at Carly, who is standing in the front of the pack. She looks towards Noah and he smiles at her. She smiles back and turns her attention back to Courtney.
Courtney looks over her shoulder and counts to three before launching the bouquet of lilies into the air. Audrey watches as the flowers soar towards her, as if Courtney or fate planned it perfectly. She catches the bouquet and smiles. She walks over to where Noah is standing and puts her head on his shoulder. Courtney walks over and smiles at the couple. "I was hoping you would catch that." Audrey laughs. "So was I. I wanted something to remember this day." "I don't think you have to worry about that. Well, Jason and I need to go if we're going to catch our plane." "You have a private plane. I think it will wait for you." Courtney laughs. "Be safe while we're gone and you know that you can call us if you need anything." "I know, I know. Have a safe flight. I love you, Courtney." The women hug and Courtney steps back allowing Jason to hug his daughter. "I love you." "I love you, too. I'll miss you." He kisses her head and takes Courtney's hand, leading her through the crowd of guests wanting to see them off.
Audrey lets out a sigh and sits down at the nearest table. "I can't believe this day is over." Noah kneels in front of her. "Well, it's not quite yet." She gives him a puzzled look. "Audrey, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You brighten my life by just being in it. I know that no matter how bad I feel I can look at you and smile. I want to go to sleep next to you and wake up holding you for the rest of my life. And I know we're young and I know we have a lot of growing up to do but I want to grow with you. Will you marry me?" Audrey lets out a breath that she didn't even know she was holding. She raises her hand and gently rubs his face. He pulls out the ring box from his jacket pocket and opens it. "I will wait out this engagement for as long as you need. If you want to graduate college or focus on your career I will wait. As long as that ring is on your finger I will give you time…" Audrey bends down and kisses him. "We are young. And most people will probably think that we won't survive but they don't know us. We can and we will survive anything. I would love to marry you." Noah smiles widely. "Yeah?" She nods her head. "Yeah."
He lifts her out of her chair and spins her around. "I'm going to give you the perfect life." "You all ready have."
