It's a short one, I know, but bear with me here. It's mainly for transition and will get us where we need to go. Keep it up with the reviews! I love having such devoted readers! :)

"What do you mean you're back together?" Morgan demanded.

Kiki glowered. "I love him, Morgan."

"He's been nothing but an ass."

"And what have you been to him?"

Morgan grumbled to himself. "He has our sister."

"Not anymore," Michael informed. "Jason convinced me of my wrongdoing. I'm in the process of returning custody to Dad."

"Wait what?" Sonny asked, joining them where they stood in the open area near the elevators at General Hospital.

"Jason spoke to me. I'm sorry, Dad."

"I'm sorry, too, son. More than sorry." Sonny said and tightly embraced Michael.

Carly's heart nearly broke at the touching scene. It broke further when Michael gestured for her to come forward.

"I'm so sorry, Mom." Michael said into her hair as he embraced his mother.

Carly stroked the back of his head. "Oh honey, I know. I'm sorry, too. I love you so much."

"I love you, too, Mom." Tears escaped Carly's eyes as she pulled back.

Morgan stood back, watching.

"I realize now that it was a horrible mistake and that you all were only trying to protect me. It's going to take time for me to get over A.J.'s death, but I'm willing to work towards it, as a family."

Carly and Sonny vigorously nodded.

"Morgan, I'm sorry for being such an ass."

Morgan chuckled and stepped forward. "I'm sorry for lying and for what I've done."

"We all make mistakes." Michael conceded.

Jason stepped off the elevator then. Sonny pulled him over.

"Thank you Jason." Carly said fervently, hugging him fiercely. Knowing what she was referring to, he responded.

"You're more than welcome."

"Are you coming to the nurse's ball?"

"Sam gave me tickets before I regained my memory."

"You are more than welcome to join us at our table." Sonny said.

"Of course," Morgan added. "It's good to have you back, man."

"It's good to be back." Jason answered, faltering at the end when he saw Obrecht. "If you'll excuse me."

The group watched Jason and when Carly saw who he was going to confront, she joined him.

"Mr. Barnes, what can I do for you?"

Jason cocked an eyebrow. "It's Mr. Morgan, Mr. Jason Morgan."

The blood drained from Obrecht's face. "You're Jason Morgan?"

"That's right."

"And you helped take him away from us." Carly seethed.

"I don't know what you're going on about. If you'll excuse me, I have a patient to attend to." Obrecht claimed walking away hurriedly.

"Do you have a tux?" Carly asked. "For the nurse's ball."

Jason shook his head.

"Meet me at the Metro Court in an hour."

"Where are you going?"

"Elizabeth is coming over. I imagine you want to talk to her."

Jason's attention centered on Elizabeth, her auburn hair shining, her eyes bright.

"What are you doing here?" She asked him. "I thought you were at the Metro Court?"

"I'm here to see you. I was going to wait. What are you doing here?"

"Picking up something for tonight." She responded. "Come with me."

Jason followed her hesitantly.

She pulled him quickly into a supply closet.
