...Of Jason on a long stretch of deserted beach, he's stretched out in the sun, kinda dozing, cause he can't sleep much for thinking about Carly and Michael... And suddenly Carly appears, in a bikini top and a medium length wrappy skirt, kinda tropical-looking and she kneels beside him, and kisses him softly... And he responds, kissing her sooo sweetly.. And still half asleep with his eyes closed, he murmurs, "Carly..." And he opens his eyes, and the sun is kinda behind her, (think little mermaid) she looks like the goddess she is, and she says, "It's me Jase. I brought Michael and we are never gonna leave you again." He's fully awake now and he stares so deeply into her eyes... And HE pulls her to him and they kiss with passion and love, and with release of pent up, surpressed emotion... And they make sweet love there on the beach...
And they lay there for a few hours, just being together in their newly proclaimed love and commitment... And Carly relates to him how she brought Leticia and Reggie along cause neither of them could take much more of the Q's... And how she sold the necklace AJ gave her for the plane tickets, but how she brought the necklace he gave her and kept it close to her all the way there. And that she knew that it would always be too hot to wear the fur coat he got her, but she brought it anyway... And he tells her how much he missed her and how he realized how much he loved her when she wasn't by his side, and how it tore him up to think of her with AJ... And how he wished she would appear and make things better just by being with him... And she smiles and says "I will always be with you. It's what I have wanted forever, and I thought I could never have." Jason says, "I'm sorry for not realizing sooner that what I felt for you was love." She smiles, saying, "It's okay. I'm here now, and you're here now. And as long as we are together, I don't care about what's behind us." And she says that they have a long future ahead of them, and that right now, there is nothing in the world except a long stretch of sandy beach, the ocean, and a little cabin down the beach a little where their son was happily playing... They both lean in and share a tender kiss, and fall onto the sand in a tight embrace...
Later, as the sun is setting, they walk back to the cabin, and find Michael playing in the sand, and Letecia and Reggie quietly retreat as they approach, knowing they want to be alone with their son... And Carly and Jason sit down on the sand side by side and play with Michael, and watch as the sky fades slowly from a brilliant coloured sunset to a dusky haze of twilight, and the sky fills with thousands of stars, more stars than Carly thinks she has ever seen. She looks over at Jason, who is already looking at her, and she smiles a brilliant smile, knowing they will be happy forever. He returns her smile, and she winks at him. And they lay down in the soft sand with Michael, and point out constellations to him... Far into the night... And each of them fall asleep realizing that they are going to be happy for the rest of their lives.
