A.J. hasn't had a drink since Jason's accident. Carly didn't try to hide Michael's paternity from him. Just Tony. Sam never had Sonny's child. I think that's it.

"Jason, hurry up." Gia raced into the room. She could still here the shower running. "God…Jason you have five minutes. Marcus just called they're on the way. Carly and A.J. are leaving soon."

He stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. Gia's breath caught.

"Wow." She let her eyes run down his body. Now she knew where Jason spent all those hours away from home. "Wow."

He smiled, but didn't approach her. She was just admiring his body nothing more. Jason had spent a lot of time talking to Monica about what he should do next.

"Give her time. Let her set the pace." She had told him. "It's only been a month. She needs space and time."

He waited to see what she would do.

Gia just stared at him. She couldn't move. Part of her wanted to reach out and touch his beautiful body, but she couldn't. She couldn't make her hand move.

Her breath was short. Her eyes glazed over. She just wanted to touch him just once. She couldn't.

Jason saw the tears in her eyes. It broke him. He cleared his throat.

"You said Taggart and Sam were on their way?" He walked to the bed and picked up the baby blue shirt she had laid out.

"Ummm, yeah, they're on their way." She turned her back so he could get dressed. "Carly and A.J. wanted to feed the kids early since it's so close to their bed time. I hope you don't mind but I asked Carly and Sam if they wanted to stay over. And of course Marcus and A.J. would be staying too."

Jason stifled a groan.

"What did they say?"

"Yes," She turned around to see him fully dressed. "I just wanted to have some time with Marcus and Carly said you haven't gotten together since Sarah's birthday party."

"Well, Carly is always planning something and I try to stay out of the way." Gia laughed."Let's go get ready for this."

"Thanks again Jason. I know we have only been married for a couple of days, but…thanks."

His cell phone rang.

"Morgan…Alright. Your brother is on his way up." He opened the door for her. "Let's get this done."

Gia was standing by the open door when they stepped off of the elevator.

"Marcus!" She ran out and hugged him.

Taggart held her close to him the way he wanted to on her wedding day.

"No one will ever hurt you again." He promised.

"No, they won't." Jason stood in the door, his arms folded across his chest.

"Morgan." Taggart nodded over her head.

"Jason," Sam pushed her husband out of the way. "We didn't get a chance to talk at the wedding."

She hugged him.

"You still look great." Jason smiled down at her. It was nothing short of a miracle that Sam was even pregnant. After what Manny had down to her the doctors said she would never have a child.

"I know." She smiled and rubbed her stomach. "Thank you for taking care of Gia."

"Yeah Morgan, thank you." Taggart with his arm still around Gia held out his hand.

"She's special," He shook Taggart's hand, but never took his eyes off of Gia. "And she can cook."

"I know. I'm hoping she can give Sam here a few lessons or our baby is going to starve." Taggart smiled.

"Hey," Sam punched him in the arm.

"SpaghettiOs don't count. " Jason teased.

"Since when?" Carly and A.J. stepped into the room each of them holding a child. "Carly reheats the best SpaghettiOs in the world."

"Ahhh, I love it when you lie to me." Carly kissed his cheek.

"Yuck." The four-year-old frowned. "Jason."

He twisted out of his father's arms and ran to his uncle.

"Hey man," Jason hadn't seen his nephew in months, except at the wedding.

"Well, I'll get dinner for these two. Did you guys bring an overnight bag?" Gia asked still resting against her brother's shoulder.

"Oh yeah, it's been a long time since I've been in Jason's house and I've never seen this penthouse." Carly looked pointedly at Jason.

"Sorry." He muttered. He eyed Gia as she slipped from the room.

"Don't worry bro, Carly and I have come to an understanding," A.J. smiled. "Only three plans a week."

"Three? Your head must be ready to explode." Jason laughed.

"Whatever." Carly sat on the sofa still holding her young daughter. "Sam when are you do?"

"In six weeks." Taggart helped Sam settle into a chair. "It feels like six months."

"So Jason, are you and Gia going to try for a family?" A.J. sat next to Carly.

Jason looked at Taggart.

"Gia called me yesterday. I can't say I'm happy about all of this, but when I consider the alternative you're not looking so bad."

"And with that glowing recommendation…" Sam patted his knee.

"What was Gia like as a kid?" A.J. winked at Jason who sat in his favorite chair."

"She was the exact same midget diva she is now." The room broke out in laughter.

Gia smiled in the kitchen when she heard the laughter. She knew this was hard for her family, especially Marcus, but he stepped up for her.

Sam and Carly both had talked to him about what happened to her. They advised him on how he should handle all of this. He had come through for her in a big way.

She gathered the dishes in her hand and went back into the living room. She hesitated for a brief moment observing the scene.

Jason sat back in his chair and laughed as Taggart told stories about his and Gia's childhood. He happy with the effort everyone was making to make Gia feel comfortable.

Carly and A.J. had their hands full with his god children, Micheal and Sarah. Taggart held Sam's hand and sipped his beer on the couch. Gia stood at the kitchen door more relaxed than he could remember seeing her.

"So dinner will be ready soon." Gia said as she came from the kitchen carrying two small plates. "I didn't know if you wanted them to have juice or milk."

"Milk is fine." Carly said picking Sarah up. "Sit down and visit with your brother. A.J. and I can feed the kids."

"Yeah, it's really the only time I get with them during the week." A.J. scooped Michael up. "This is the good stuff."

"Alright." Gia went to sit on the arm rest of Jason's chair.

"So any way Gia decides she shouldn't have to wear the tree costume because it would squash her hair." Taggart finished.

"Well, Mom had just taken me to the salon that day." Jason laughed harder. "What?

Later

"So how are things going with you and Jason?" Carly sat cross legged on the bed.

"Good, but then again they have always been good. Since…" She ducked her head. "I want him so bad my teeth hurt."

"I think we both know what you mean." Sam looked at Carly.

"Ugh, I never thought about that." Gia made a gagging sound. "Do you know he had a one night stand with Kelly and Tammy?"

"If Jason had come up to you and offered himself would you turn him down?" Carly asked shaking her head.

"I did." Gia muttered. The second time.

"What?" Sam and Carly screamed together.

"When I first came into town. I went to Jake's and he was there." She shrugged.

"Gia!" Carly screamed.

"He was at the bar and I had just got the room next to his." She lay back on the bed. "The night of the big black out, I came home and I was a little drunk, a lot drunk. His door was open. It was dark. I stumbled in. Jason must have thought I was someone else. He slammed me on the bed and started kissing me." She sighed.

"He is the best kisser ever." Carly sighed.

"Yeah."

Gia stumbled into the room frowning. She thought she had locked the door.

Suddenly she was on her bed and a hard body was on top of her.

"You're late." He pinned her down with his body and kissed her. Gia's blood turned into hot liquid. She moved underneath him. "Like that."

"Yes," He trailed kisses down her neck. "I…ohhh."

Jason pulled her shirt open. His mouth found her bare breast. Gia nearly exploded when he bit her nipple. He pulled up her skirt.

"Need you baby." He tugged her underwear off. "Been a fucked up week."

Gia wanted to speak but was lost in the pleasure he invoked from her body. She didn't know when he took off his clothes, but within moments he was inside her.

She was tight. He had to stop because her gripped on his shafted was so painful he almost came. His chest hurt, he was breathing so hard. If he didn't know better he would have thought she was a virgin.

Sonny had definitely come through this time. The girl he had gotten for him was perfect. This girl was a pro. Sonny said she was one of the best Roco had.

Right size, height, smell, she was like that girl Gia that he couldn't get out of his head. He felt like a pig. She was a kid and she had tried to black mail Em. He tried to put her out of his mind, but all he could think about was being inside her. Every time she was around he wanted to throw her on the ground and fuck her.

He finally felt in control and began moving again. He felt her nails in his back. They were in deep. The pain made him harder. Damn this girl was a pro.

She began to shake when he moved again hitting her spot perfectly. It was not this way she thought her first time would be; drunk, with a stranger, in a cheap boardinghouse above a bar. She didn't care. He felt so good. No one had to know.

She lost control of her body. He began moving faster inside of her. She bit his shoulder.

Jason grabbed her hair and pulled her up for a hard kiss. She was coming down when he shifted and began hitting that spot again. She bucked against him and screamed into his mouth. She felt hot liquid filling her just before he collapsed.

Gia's body still shook under his. He was kissing her again. Kissing her and touching her.

Gia stayed until dawn and he was asleep next to her. She slowly looked around the room and knew it wasn't hers. She had stumbled into the wrong room and had sex with…JASON MORGAN.

"So what happened?" Carly demanded.

"He grabbed me and kissed me. I pushed him away and left." Gia lied. Like she was going to say that she had lost her virginity to a man she barely knew or that he thought she was a prostitute. Yeah, that wasn't going to happen.

"Is it creepy that we have all had a relationship with Jason?" Sam asked from the head of the bed.

"No because we know where his heart lays." Carly smirked at Gia.

"What?" She asked.

"I know you've been through some stuff, but girl look at what Jason has done for you." Sam gestured around the room. "He didn't need to marry you to keep you safe."

"He thought it was best." She muttered.

'He could have taken you to the island while he dealt with Stavros. Gia, he stares at you." Carly moved closer to her.

"His eyes follow you everywhere." Sam added. "He's tense when you leave the room and doesn't relax until he sees you again. Come on Gia. Jason loves you. I think he always has."

"Huh," Carly tapped her mouth. "Jason was always like that since you first met at the police station."

"When Marcus took him in for Faith's murder." Sam nodded understanding. At the time she thought it was because she was Taggart's sister and he was projecting his anger onto her. Now that she thought about it he did that every time they were in a room together.

Gia saw the cogs working in her friends heads. She got it Jason's anger hadn't been because of what she did. It was because he couldn't have her.

"Jason!" She yelled as she ran to the door.

Down stairs

"Jason!"

"Uh oh little brother looks like the chickens have been talking." A.J. teased from the game room.

Jason rolled his eyes and went into the hall way.

"Yeah?" She didn't look angry.

"Come on." She grabbed his arm and pulled him into the study. "Stay Marcus."

"Yeah, stay Marcus." Sam put a restraining hand on his arm.

"Wow you move fast for a pregnant chick." Carly laughed.

"Do you love me?" Gia looked at Jason.

"What? Gia..." He rubbed the back of his neck.

"The night of the blackout, in your room above Jake's, that was me." She looked away from him.

"What?" Jason fell into the desk behind him. "No, that's…Gia?"

"I was drunk and went into your room by mistake. You were very talented and I didn't want you to stop. Plus it was a great F.U. to Lizzie."

"You were a virgin." He pinched his nose.

"Yes, did you want me instead of that prostitute?" She stepped closer to him.

"Yes," His voice was horse. "I wanted you in my bed the night I saw you at the police station."

She opened his legs and stepped in between them.

"Kiss me." Jason wrapped his arms around her and gentle touched his lips to hers. Gia grabbed his head and attacked his mouth. She pulled away from him and looked into his eyes. Shaking she went to the door and locked it. "I can't make love to you but there is something I want to try."

She stepped towards him.

"I've never done this before so bare with me." She unfastened his belt. Jason grabbed her hands.

"Gia don't. We can wait." She jerked her hands away from his.

"I want to do this." She kissed his neck. "I've wanted to do this since that night. Please Jason."

Gia don't wait for his answer. She opened his pants and reached down to stroke him. She squelched the fear that ran throw her.

"Gia. We can't start this. Even if I let you I'm going to want to do it all. I remember that night. I remember how good you felt. Please Gia I'm begging you." Jason pulled her hand out of his pants. Gia nodded.

"You're right." She stepped back from him. Jason turned around and pulled his pants back into place. "You really shouldn't do that. I'll just have to take them off again."

Jason took a deep breath before he turned around again. Gia stood in front of him naked. Her black dress pooled at her feet. She had just stepped out of her panties.

"Don't ask, I'm sure." She took a step towards him. "You're a little over dressed."

She began taking off his shirt.

"I hope that has a sofa bed." Jason nodded. "Then make love to me. Please."

He kissed her like he had that first night together. Jason was ready for his wife.

"God, I think he had his office sound proofed." Carly whispered with her ear pressed against the door.

"I wonder why." A.J. asked. "Come on woman. Time for bed."

"But…" Taggart couldn't help but smile. Sam said Gia wasn't angry and he trusted his wife. He put his arm around her waist and followed the others upstairs.
