Deceitful Romance

Ch. 8 Carly

Author's Note: Thank you so much for the reviews. The biggest thing to remember about Liz is she only 19 and Lucky was her first love. She will be finding out the truth soon. First the next couple of chapter is Jason dealing with everything else. Both Carly and Luke will be in this chapter. Don't get to mad at Luke he will explain later in the story. This chapter also answers the question where and what happened to the real Lucky. Thank you again and enjoy.

(Jason's point of view)

I heard my phone. I got to it quickly. Sonny was calling to tell me Carly was on her way to Jake's. He said Elizabeth showed up wanting to know if I was staying in town. Carly over heard and went off on Sonny.

"Jason open the door." Carly screamed.

"Would you mind calming her down before she comes home?" Sonny asked.

"Do I have a choice?" I asked as I hung up.

"Open the door Jason." Carly screeched.

"Calm down Carly." I said opening the door.

I was little shocked looking at her. You could tell she was pregnant. I tried not to stare. It all became real. My two best friends are together and having a baby. I didn't feel angry anymore.

"How long have you been in town?" Carly asked.

"Sit down and we'll talk." I said calmly.

"Why didn't you tell me you were in town?" She said obviously hurt.

"I have been in town for a while. I needed to keep it quiet." I said.

"You didn't trust me." She stated.

"It's not that. I know you wouldn't have said anything on purpose but I really didn't want any of the Spencer's knowing." I explained.

"So you're here for her." Carly said.

"Carly I don't want to get into this." I said hoping for once she would just leave it alone.

"Do you love her?" She asked trying not to cry.

"I care about her. She's my friend." I answered.

"Oh my I can't deal with you loving the muffin. And why haven't you got rid of my fake cousin?" She asked.

"She won't believe me. I have to wait for Cassadine to repeat the DNA test." I answered.

"I can't believe this it's like a movie or something." Carly said.

"I know." I mumbled thinking of some of the movies I use to watch with Robin.

"Jason I'm sorry Sonny and I hurt you." Carly said clearly feeling still guilty.

"I know and I'm not angry anymore. I want you and Sonny to both be happy." I said.

"Is that a joke?" Carly asked.

"Carly Sonny cares about you." I said not willing to reveal too much.

"Sonny cares about Michael and the baby. I just happen to come along with them." Carly said.

"Trust me he cares about you." I said again.

"Michael is doing so great. Sonny is really good with him." Carly said.

"I know I've been keeping tabs on all of you. Carly you and Sonny you're both my friends. That hasn't changed at all." I said.

"I still love you Jason." Carly said.

"Maybe you do but, you love Sonny more." I responded as she frowned.

"No I don't." Carly protested.

"Okay well you'll be able to see it yourself one day." I said hoping for both of them it was sooner than later.

"Will you come see Michael?" Carly asked.

"Sure I could do that." I said a little anxious at the thought of seeing the boy that was once my son.

"When?" Carly asked.

"I might have time tomorrow." I said.

"Okay. Well I need to go spend some more of Sonny's money." Carly said as I shook my head.

The next night I went over to Sonny and Carly's. Sonny suggested I move back into my old Penthouse. I thought it might be strange to be across the hall from them but Sonny acted like he really needed me. I agreed with Sonny promising to keep Carly from driving me nuts.

"Sonny I'm hungry give me the chips." I heard Carly cry out as I walked in.

"Carly dinner will be ready in five minutes." Sonny yelled back at her.

"Just a few chips I'm so hungry." Carly said.

Okay then you can have some carrots." Sonny responded.

"Carrots Sonny that isn't a good snack. The baby wants chips." Carly said.

"Jason." Sonny said as he saw me.

"Hey." I said trying not to laugh.

"I'll go get Michael." Carly said after hugging me.

"Is it really okay I'm here?" I asked Sonny feeling strange about this being his family.

"Yes Jason you're family." Sonny said.

"Okay." I said as I saw Michael.

"Can you say hi to Jason?" Carly asked Michael.

"Hi Jason." Michael said.

"Hi there Michael." I said wondering if he remembered me.

"Come here pal." Sonny said taking Michael from Carly.

"Michael I brought you something. I'll go get it." I said walking across the hall.

I felt weird. I knew that Sonny would make a great Father. I also knew that Michael was a great son. I just never imagined Sonny would be Michael's father. I was worried about how the business would affect both Michael and the baby. I got the elephant I had bought and also grabbed the other stuff animal.

"This is for you Michael. I hope you still like elephants." I said giving it to him.

"Thank you Jason." He said hugging it.

"Aww Jason that was so sweet." Carly said.

"I have something for you too." I said.

"What is it?" She asked shocked.

"Actually it's for the baby." I said showing her the monkey.

"Jason I love it." Carly said crying and hugging me.

"It's just a stuff animal." I said.

"She's right Jason it is really nice of you to get something for the baby. It's the first thing we've got from someone else." Sonny said.

"Well I am looking forward to meeting your baby." I admitted.

"Sorry to interrupt Mr. Spencer is here to see you Sonny." Johnny said.

"I know he's not my son." Luke said slurring from being drunk.

"Carly take Michael upstairs." Sonny said.

"Okay." Carly said.

"Luke sit down." Sonny suggested.

"He made it out of the fire. Faison kept him prisoner. He was about to handed Lucky over to Helena. Lucky escaped and he was killed. I saw the report. The pictures and the DNA results. He's dead my cowboy is really dead." Luke said.

"I'm so sorry Luke." Sonny said.

"Why is my boy dead? Why do people like us not die but the innocent do?" Luke asked.

"I don't know Luke. I wish I did." Sonny said.

"I tried to tell Nicky. He wanted to wait for the test results." Luke said.

"We know he told Jason the same thing." Sonny said.

"Are you protecting Lizzy?" Luke asked turning to me.

"Yes I am." I answered simply.

"I don't like you and I know you don't like me but don't let that man hurt that little girl." Luke said.

"I made some coffee." Carly said.

"Well hello there Caroline. Are you happy to see me mourn my boy again?" Luke asked Carly angrily.

"No I'm not. No one should lose a child even you. Now drink the coffee." Carly answered as Sonny and I both smiled proudly.

"I'm heading out of town. I just can't face Laura again. I need some time." Luke said.

After Luke left the night was quiet. Dinner was nice. Carly only made a few rude comments about Elizabeth. I just gave her a look. Sonny scolded her a few times.

Early the next morning the phone rang. It was Nikalos. He said he needed to see me. I knew the results must be in. I was hoping he or Emily could convince Elizabeth now. I wanted her away from the imposter. I also wanted the fake Lucky eliminate.
