Maxie entered her father's house to hear the sounds of a baby's cries. Smiling she breezed into the living room and grabbed Emma from Mac gently rocking her back and forth as she shushed her. Mac and Anna watched in amazement as Maxie got the infant to settle into slumber.

"Wow… maternal instincts kicking in?" Anna joked

Maxie smiled as she placed Emma in her bassinet, "I guess you could say that. It's nice to know I won't be completely lost when I become a mother. So anyways, why are you two on babysitting duty? Where's Patrick?"

"I don't know something about Carly being in labor or something"

Maxie popped her head up quickly, "Carly's in labor but Mason isn't due for another month"

Anna shrugged her shoulders, "I'm just relaying what Patrick told me"

Maxie quickly grabbed her purse, "I've gotta go"

Mac gently grabbed her arm, "Why do you need to go? Jason is a hit man and Carly is a mob moll. What would you need to be there for the birth of their son?"

Maxie rolled her eyes, "Because Carly has been very supportive and helpful throughout my whole pregnancy. With mom gone and Robin dead, Carly is the closet thing to a mother figure I have. And, Carly is Lucky's cousin which makes her part of my baby's family; and I want my baby to know all of her family"

Mac nodded in understanding as he let Maxie run out of the house.

Carly smiled up at Jason happy as they began her caesarean. She was numbed from the waist down so she was able to be awake for her son's birth. Both had agreed not to have a mirror so they could see. They didn't need to see all the gross stuff they just wanted to meet their son. Before they could blink Dr. Lee had Mason removed and crying his little lungs out. Carly felt the hot tears running down her face as the nurses cleared his airways and took all his stats. Jason too felt tears as his son was prepped to meet his parents.

The nurse placed Mason on Carly's chest as Carly stared at him with adoration. She had never gotten to experience this with Michael or Morgan and it was amazing. She softly kissed his head and watched as Jason did the same before kissing her, "He's beautiful Carly"

Carly nodded as she stared adoringly at her son. Just then the nurse came and picked him up. Feeling the coldness quickly sink in where her son's warm body had been caused Carly panic, "Wait where are you taking him?"

The nurse smiled, "He is healthy and perfect, but he is a month premature and we need to go get him thoroughly examined and be placed in an incubator for a few hours to make sure he will be fine. There's no reason to be concerned. You can come see him as soon as Dr. Lee gives you the go-ahead."

Carly nodded as she watched them take Mason away. Jason quickly got her to look at him, "Don't worry he will be fine"

Carly nodded tearfully, "I know but I missed the first few hours of Morgan and Michael's life, I didn't want to him any of Mason's" Jason nodded understandingly.

Carly was moved to her own room and made comfortable. Carly looked around the room anxiously, "Where is he? He should be done by now"

Jason smiled, "Don't worry they will let us know when he's ready. Why don't we let some people in to see you? They were all really worried."

Carly nodded, "Michael, Morgan, and my mom first"

Jason nodded and he went to retrieve her guests. Moments later Morgan came bounding into the room with Michael close behind as Jason and Bobbie trailed back."

"Hi mom! Where's Mason?" Morgan questioned.

Carly smiled as she kissed his forehead, "He's getting examined since he was a little too early, but he'll be back soon" Carly noticed Michael standing off to the side unsure of her.

"Michael's what's wrong? Get over here and give me a hug"

Michael approached her cautiously, "Are you hurt? I don't want to hurt you"

Carly smiled lovingly, "I'm fine sweetie I'm just tired. I'm sorry I scared you"

Michael shrugged, "Morgan was more scared than me"

Jason and Bobbie chuckled as Michael acted tough. Bobbie approached her daughter, "Hi sweetie, how are you? Is he beautiful?"

Carly nodded, "He's gorgeous, and I can't wait for you to meet him"

Just then the nurse wheeled him in, "I hear he has some very excited guest that can't wait to meet him"

Carly smiled as Bobbie looked to her, "Go ahead momma" Bobbie jumped at the chance to hold her third grandson, "Oh my God! He looks just like Jason."

Morgan looked on curiously at the blue bundle in his grandma's arms, "He's not very cute; and how can you say he looks like Jason? He's all wrinkled and red."

Carly laughed, "He's very cute! It just takes a few days for him to look normal"

Jason gently placed his hand on Morgan's shoulder, "You looked the same when you were born"

Morgan looked up at Jason in horror, "Eww!!"

Everyone laughed as Bobbie handed Mason to Carly. Carly looked to Michael, "Do you want to hold him?"

Michael shook his head as Carly handed him to Jason, "I guess we should let everyone else in" Jason agreed as Bobbie went to retrieve the rest of the waiting room. Soon people were filing in.

Maxie immediately rushed to Carly's side as Patrick and Lucky congratulated Jason. Max, Milo, and Sonny stood just inside the doorway watching as Michael and Morgan began talking to them about their new brother.

"How are you Carly? How is Mason? Did it hurt?" Maxie quickly questioned.

Carly laughed, "I'm fine, he's fine, and I was numbed"

Maxie smiled as she approached Jason, "Do you mind?"

Jason shook his head as he handed Mason over to her. Patrick then went to Carly to ask her how she was and if there was anything he could do for her while Sonny went to Jason to congratulate him. Max, Milo, and Sonny each took turns holding Mason after Maxie while Patrick left to get Emma and Lucky left for the station.

Sonny took the boys home with Max and Milo and then Maxie and Bobbie finally left. Jason climbed into bed with Carly as she stared down lovingly at her son, "I can't believe after ten years he's finally here. He's just as I pictured him. My mom wasn't lying, he does look just like you. He's perfect!"

Jason agreed as he turned her chin to look into his eyes, "I love you, thank you for giving me everything I've ever wanted"

Carly smiled and kissed him again, "It was easy since it was everything I wanted."
