French Chateau

Courtney is on the terrace and Jason comes up behind her, making her jump and wrapping his arms around her.

Courtney: Hey. Oh, god, it's amazing. Hmm. Just like the old days when -- thank you for giving me the perfect wedding.

Jason: Mm-hmm. Thank you. It's perfect for me, too.

Courtney: So --

Jason: So --

Courtney: You got the wedding you wanted here in France, away from all of our obligations and Port Charles.

Jason: All I needed was you.

Courtney: So what comes next?

Jason: Well, you know, we can stay here for a few days, go home.

Courtney: No, I -- I mean in our lives.

Jason: I don't know. What do you want?

Courtney: How do you feel about starting a family?

Jason: Are you -- you know, are you sure you're ready?

Courtney: Well, Dr. Meadows said that we'll probably be able to have a baby of our own, and you just have to be willing to follow the regimen. And it could take a long time, years, even. And she said it could be an emotional roller coaster, so we would really have to be committed to the idea.

Jason: Are you?

Courtney: You know, after I lost our baby, I felt so empty inside. But that's no reason for me to get pregnant again. And, you know, I used to talk about going back to school, starting a career, traveling.

Jason: You can do anything you want.

Courtney: I mean, this is our time, Jason, just the two of us. We're free to do whatever we want. And we can decide about children in a few years together.

Jason: Yeah, and when we get there, if -- you know, if you need treatments, or surgery, whatever it is, I'll -- I'll be with you.

Courtney: I know.

(They kiss and then the phone rings.)

Courtney: Hello.

Sonny: Hey.

Courtney: Sonny? Where are you?

Sonny: Carly and I are in flight somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. There's -- there's trou-- trouble with the plane.

Courtney: Well, what do you mean, trouble? What kind of trouble?

Sonny: It's bad, so -- we don't have much time, so can I -- I need to tell you a few things. I know you put up with a lot from me. I tried to run your life.

Courtney: (crying) But that was because you love me, Sonny. I always knew that.

Sonny: You're strong. And I'm proud, I'm proud to have you as my sister.

Courtney: No, Sonny, no, this isn't goodbye, OK? They're going to find a way to land the plane.

Sonny: You were a beautiful bride, and Jason is -- is going to need you, so I'm going to need you to do me a favor, OK? Can you tell Mike that I love him, and take care of both of them.

Courtney: No, Sonny, no, this isn't goodbye, OK? They're going to find a --

Sonny: Uh -- take it.

Carly: OK. Courtney --

Courtney: There still has to be another chance, isn't there?

Carly: I don't know.

Courtney: Oh, my god, Carly.

Carly: Oh, Courtney, thank you so much for letting us be a part of your wedding. I am so happy that Jason is going to be spending the rest of his life with you. The love that you have together is a rare gift, and you need to cherish it, Courtney.

Courtney: No, I will, I promise. OK, Carly, I'm going to let you talk to Jason now. I love you.

Carly: OK. Oh, I love you, too.

Jason: Carly --

Carly: Jason, I know that you love Michael, and you took care of him when I couldn’t. You did everything that a parent would do, and I need you to do that again. I know -- I know that you and Courtney just got married, and it's asking a lot, but I just --

Jason: You know -- you know Courtney and I will take care of Michael.

Carly: Make sure he's OK. Help him through it. Keep him safe. Include my mom in his life. And I swear, if AJ tries to take him, make sure --

Jason: I'm not going to let that happen.

Carly: I love you, Jason. You are the best friend that I could ever have, and I thank you for everything.

Jason: Carly -- I -- I love you.

Sonny: Hey. All right, listen. I'm going to have you in charge of everything -- my business, my father, my sister, and my son.

Jason: You know I'd give up my life for them.

Sonny: I know you would.

(There is static on the phone and the connection is lost.)

Courtney: No. No, this just can't be happening. We can't just say goodbye to them.

Jason: It doesn't make any sense. There's got to be a way to stop this.

At a French Chateau

Jason: OK. I talked to air traffic control and told them what was going on with Sonny and Carly’s plane. They alerted every airstrip that may be in range.

Courtney: So is there any news yet?

Jason: No. I mean, you know, the plane should have landed by now.

(The phone rings)

Jason: Hello.

Sonny: We made it.

Jason: Well -- well, you're on the ground?

Sonny: The pilot landed, and we evacuated the plane. We're on our way home now.

Jason: What about Carly and the baby? Are they OK?

Sonny: They're fine. I'll call you later.

Courtney: What? Sonny says everybody's OK?

Jason: Yeah, everybody's -- everybody's OK.

Courtney: Oh, god. Oh -- oh, thank god.

Jason: Oh --

Courtney: Oh, my god, I'm so relieved.

(Courtney hugs him)
