(Elizabeth's point of view)

I got out of the hospital two days ago. I spent every moment I could with Grams. She is recovery at a great rate. Grams kept trying to get me to take a break. Finally Steven said I need to get out even for a little bit. I wasn't sure where to go or what to do.

I found myself at my studio. I noticed Max was following closely. I wasn't sure if Jason was just being cautions or if he was worried. If I was honest with myself I owed Sonny and Jason so much.

I am just so afraid. I couldn't take Jason leaving again. I missed him so much. I needed Jason. I knew he could save me from myself. I am being stupid for not calling him.

I decided to paint for a while. I was grieving again not the same way though. This time was different. Yes I did think I had Lucky back. I am a little heart broken. I wasn't sure if I could let go and move forward. I knew I needed to.

Someone knocked on the door. I waited for Max. I had asked Max to get rid of anyone who showed up. I didn't feel in the mood for company. I was sure it was either Emily or Jason.

"Sorry Elizabeth she won't go away." Max said.

"Let Emily in." I said with a sigh.

"It's not Emily." Carly said appearing behind Max.

"Carly?" I questioned confused why she was here.

"Hi Liz." She said sounding like a normal person.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I needed to talk to you alone." Calry answered as Max went back out the door.

"What do you need?" I asked partly worried.

"How are you and how's your Grandmother?" Carly asked sounding like she actually meant it.

"I'm healing and Grams is doing well." I answered sincerely.

"Will she have to stay in the hospital long?" Carly asked.

"Steven said she'll probably be out in the next couple of weeks." I answered.

"How are you after you know everything?" She asked.

"I don't know. I think I might be in shock still." I admitted.

"It seems like you need someone to talk to." Carly said.

"You don't even like me you want me to talk to you." I said.

"Me no we aren't friends. I meant Jason. You're hurting him." Carly said.

"He hurt me first." I said.

"I know it hurt so much when he left." Carly said.

"He was the one person who really understood. He just listened and didn't judge me." I said starting to cry.

"That's who Jason is. Honestly muffin he didn't leave because of you. He left because of Sonny and me. He came back for you. He wouldn't have came back for us." Carly said clearly annoyed.

"Is he really back to stay?" I asked knowing she would probably have a good idea.

"I think he's home to stay. You brought him home so thanks for that." Carly said.

"Why did you come here?" I asked.

"For Jason. I still think he deserves better. Give him a chance heck all he wants is to be your friend." Carly answered.

"I'll try." I said as she left leaving me confused and also hopeful.

(Carly's point of view)

I sighed as I left. Well I had done it. I would be able to say I really did want Jason happy. Being a supportive friend really sucks sometimes no wonder I don't have many friends. I deserve a medal for this one. I headed home to Sonny and Michael.

"Max called." Sonny said as I came in.

"Okay." I responded wondering if Max told him I talked to Elizabeth.

"You went to see Liz?" Sonny asked.

"Yes I needed to talk with her." I answered.

"Max said Liz was smiling after to left. So I called Liz. She said that you were nice to her. And that you gave her a lot to think about." Sonny commented.

"She's still a muffin but, Jason cares about her. And well she's pretty pitiful right now." I said annoyed.

"Carly you did a really good thing." Sonny praised me.

"Don't be expecting me to do stuff like this again." I said.

"I know better." He responded smiling.

"How's Michael?" I asked.

"He's good I took him to the park." Sonny answered.

"You're really good with him." I said.

"He's a good little boy. I just can't believe I have him in my life. Thank you Carly." Sonny said sincerely.

"Sonny I want you to know I'm getting over Jason. I'll always love him." I said honestly.

"Carly will you be my wife?" Sonny asked shocking me.

I wasn't sure if I should marry Sonny. We fight all the time. I'll never be a good little house wife. I'll never just go upstairs. I could never be Lily or Brenda.

"Carly I know what you're thinking. You're wrong I just want you, Michael and our child. I want us to be a family. Jason has forgiven us we can move forward." Sonny said as I nodded.

"I need you to know that being your wife won't change me or who I am." I said.

"I won't try to change you but you can't try to change me either." Sonny said.

"Fine I'll marry you. Do you have a ring?" I asked.

"Yes I have a ring." Sonny said showing me the sapphire surrounded by diamonds.

"It's pretty nice I guess." I said trying to down play my real reaction.

"Pretty nice it was the most expensive ring in the while place." Sonny said obviously offended.

"I love it Sonny. I was only teasing." I said.

"Oh then let me put it on you." Sonny said.

"You have to get on one knee and ask me again." I said.

"Seriously Carly?" Sonny questioned.

"Yes don't I deserve a good proposal?" I pouted.

"Carly will you please do me the honor of being my wife? Will you marry me?" Sonny asked as he got on one knee.

"Yes I will." I answered as Sonny slipped the ring on.

"Now can I make love to my beautiful future bride?" Sonny asked.

"Oh yeah." I said a he picked me up and carried me upstairs.

If my day ended so well every time I was nice I would do it more often. Now I just hoped Muffin would do her part. Jason deserves to be happy. As happy as I am.
