Snowflakes and Hot Chocolate:
The next morning, Jason was true to his word. After a delicious breakfast at the penthouse, they set off to visit Alexis Davis. Carly gave Jason power of attorney, so that if anything should happen to her during the birth, Jason could make important decisions. After they signed all the legal documents, Carly let out a sigh of relief. It was just one step toward keeping the Quartermaine's hands off her baby.
When Jason and Carly stepped outside, snowflakes were falling in the air. Carly smiled. "Jason, it's snowing!" she said happily. "I love snow."
"Let's go shopping- get some hot chocolate and some things for the baby. I don't have anything yet. What I did have, I left at Tony's. I have nothing to my name," Carly explained. "We have to pick up the necessities...like clothes, a crib, diapers, whatever else the baby will need."
"I don't know much about babies and what they need," Jason replied honestly.
"I also need some clothes... and we need a Christmas tree... and lots of presents," Carly said with excitement.
"Okay, whatever you need, we'll get it." To her glee, he handed her a huge wad of cash.
"Ohhh wow! This ought to cover it!" she exclaimed. "I'm so excited, Jason! We're having a baby!"
She threw her arms around him in the middle of the city street, hugging him so tight. She was pressed against him, but her immense baby bump was getting in the way of their much-needed embrace. Even so, Carly didn't let it get her down. For the first time ever, she felt true joy when she thought of the little life growing inside her.
Carly kissed Jason on the cheek, warming his skin. "Thank you for everything!"
"You're welcome. Now let's go see about getting that cup of hot chocolate." Holding her hand, they walked towards Kelly's Diner.
