Part Two- Surprise

Jason looked at Brenda and smiled. She had fallen asleep on the plane and he hadn't had the heart to wake her, so he had carried her off the small private jet and into the limo that was waiting for them-Jason had called Sonny and told him he was coming home and asked if he could please have things ready for him.

Brenda had continued to sleep even as they reached the apartment building where Sonny and Carly lived, and where Jason himself had an apartment. So he carried her upstairs.

The guard on duty smiled. "Hey, Mr. Morgan, it's been a long time."

"That it has Marco." Jason agreed. "Can you tell Sonny that I arrived, but that my surprise has been delayed? Tell him to come over in about an hour."

"Okay." Marco agreed and then he grinned, nodding towards Brenda. "I take it that that's your surprise."

Jason nodded. "This is my wife."

"Congratulations." Marco said, opening the door for Jason so that he didn't have to disturb Brenda.

"Thanks." Jason said. He looked at the sleeping woman in his arms.

"Not what I had in mind when it came to carrying you over the threshold." He muttered and then carried her upstairs.

He placed her on the bed and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Then he went downstairs. He'd shoot a little bit of pool before she woke up or Sonny and Carly came over. Whatever came first.

He lost track of the time, so he was surprised when there was a knock on the door.

He opened it and Carly Corinthos threw herself into his arms.

"Jase!" She cried. "It's been too long."

"I've missed you too." Jason assured her, he released Carly and looked at her husband.

"Hey Sonny."

The other man hugged him warmly. "Welcome home."

Sonny and Carly entered the apartment and closed the door behind them.

"Where's your surprise?" Carly asked like a little kid.

Jason smiled. "Upstairs-asleep."

Sonny and Carly shared startled looks. "Asleep?"

Jason laughed. "I might as well tell you now-I got married."

"What!" Carly exclaimed. "You're kidding, right?"

Jason shook his head. "Nope. I couldn't believe it either, but as soon I met this woman, I knew she was the one."

"Sounds special." Sonny said.

"She is." Jason agreed. "She's a handful, all right, but that's okay. I like the fact that she keeps me on my toes."

"That's an admirable trait in a woman." Sonny said, looking at his wife, who rolled her eyes.

"Jason?" A voice from upstairs called.

Jason smiled.

"That's her now." He told Sonny and Carly. "I'm downstairs!" He called. He looked at his friends.

"You guys are going to love her." He assured them.

Brenda descended the stairs.

"Jase? Do you have company?" She asked and then she paused, her face going white as she saw his guests. "Sonny."

"Brenda." Sonny said, equally white.

"What's going on?" Jason asked, seeing that Carly was as confused as he was. "Do you two know each other?"

"You could say that." Sonny said, his eyes still glued to Brenda. "After all, we were engaged before she 'died'."
