Sorry that it's taken me so long to get this up. Anyway, here is the last chapter of this story. :)
Chapter 4
Carly woke up in the middle of the night screaming. "Don't take her. Please, she's my baby! Don't!"
"Carly, wake up. Carly!" Jason said, waking her from her dream.
"Jason? Oh, God, Jason. It was Claudia. She was trying to take Jenny from me."
He pulled her into his arms. "It was just a nightmare. You and Jenny are safe here with me, and I am never going to let anything happen to you both ever again."
She pulled away from Jason's arms, and walked toward the window. "That's the first nightmare I've had in a while. I had them a lot right after, but they stopped. Jason, the Zacchara's are going to want revenge against Sonny and you and everyone."
"Don't worry about that. You and your baby are going to be safe. I'm not going to let anyone touch you."
"But what about you? What if the Zacchara men come after you and take you away from me?"
"That is not going to happen. I would never let anyone take me away from you."
"Jase, I guess I'm just scared. Scared for you and our family."
"Hey, I know this is going to sound weird coming from me, but do you want to talk to someone? I know that your kidnapping was very traumatic, and it might help you to have someone to talk to."
"Like a shrink? I don't need one because I have you. Talking to you always helps."
"Okay, but if you change your mind, I'll call Lainey or someone else."
"You're always looking out for me." Then, Jenny started crying.
"That's my cue," she said.
"No, let me. Get back into bed and let me take care of her."
Jason went and picked up Jenny and rocked her in the rocking chair. Carly couldn't help herself; she couldn't stay away. She stood in the doorway watching Jason rock her baby to sleep. After a few minutes, Carly walked into the room.
"This is one of my favorite sites: watching you hold my baby. I could stay here forever just watching the two of you."
"She's beautiful, Carly. I love her, and I don't think I could love her more even if she was mine."
"Oh, Jase," she said, taking the baby out of Jason's arms and putting her back in her crib. "She is yours. Biology doesn't mean anything."
"But to her, I'm just going to be her step-father. Jax is her dad. And I'm okay with just being her stepfather because it doesn't change how I feel about her. She's yours, so that automatically means I care about her."
"Jason," she said, as Jason pulled her into his lap, "to be a step-father, that means we have to get married. Are you….?"
"I mean, do you want to? I don't have a ring or anything."
"I don't need a ring. All I need is you."
"Well, then, Carly Corinthos Jacks, will you marry me?"
"I would love to marry you, Jason Morgan."
"When your divorce from Jacks is official, I'll buy you a ring and we can make it official."
She nodded. "I love you," she said, as he pulled her in for a kiss. "We should probably get off this chair before it breaks."
"Are telling me that I need to lose some weight?" he said, laughing.
"No, I do. This baby weight isn't coming off very easily."
"It's only been a couple of weeks. You'll lose it. And besides, I don't care. You look beautiful no matter what."
"Thanks."
"What about I get your mom to watch Jenny tonight? Michael's going to Kristina's and Morgan's going to a sleepover. We could go out, and then… you know."
She smiled. "Oh, Mr. Morgan, I like how you think."
That night, Jason and Carly went out to dinner and had a lovely night by themselves. It was the first time in a long time that they had been together with out any children. When they got home, Jason picked her up and carried her to the bedroom.
"Did I tell you how beautiful you looked tonight?"
"Yeah, but you can tell me again."
"This dress- it looked so good on you, but I think you'll look even better with it off," he said, unzipping it and sliding it off her body. "That's better."
"I agree, and I think you would look better without that shirt and those pants."
Jason complied with her request and shed his clothes, and the carefully laid her on the bed.
"Oh, Jase," she said as Jason kissed her neck. "I love you."
"I love you, too," he said, as the two of them made passionate love to each other.
After it was over, Carly laid on top of Jason as they both basked in the after glow.
"That was amazing," Carly said, closing her eyes.
"Yeah, it was. You're amazing, and I can't believe I finally have you." He shifted so that he was lying beside Carly with her head resting on his chest as they fell asleep where they dreamed about their life together.
The next morning they were woken up by Michael and Morgan coming home. Jason and Carly ran downstairs to see Michael carrying Jenny and Morgan carrying breakfast.
"I picked up Morgan, and then we though we'd get Jenny and have a family breakfast. Family meals don't happen too often around here."
"You are so sweet, Michael."
"It was actually my idea," Morgan said.
"I love it," she said.
Jason helped Michael and Morgan set the table and get the food ready while Carly held Jenny. Carly looked around the kitchen and couldn't help but smile. This was her family.
"I'm so lucky, Jason. I have my three kids and the man I love all under the same roof. I don't ever remember being this happy."
"Me, either. I never thought I'd have a family, and now I have the best one in the entire world," he said, taking Jenny out of Carly's arms and putting her in her seat. "Come here, baby girl. We're going to have breakfast with your two older brothers."
As they ate breakfast, Carly and Jason couldn't help smiling. They really did have everything.
