Josslyn is the third child of Carly Spencer and the first child of Jasper Jacks.
On March 19, 2009, after renewing their vows, Carly and Jax conceive a child during their honeymoon. In April, Carly starts to show signs of pregnancy and her OB/GYN Dr. Kelly Lee discovers she might have a condition that can cause blood clots and strokes.
Carly puts off taking a test but eventually does with Jason Morgan's support and the test comes back positive. Carly has mixed emotions due to the possibility of a difficult pregnancy but ultimately decides she wants her baby. When Jax gets home from his trip he finds the pregnancy test and is elated to be having a child but Carly puts off telling him about her possible condition. Carly takes a blood test to check for the condition she could have and it is later confirmed that she does have the condition.
Later that day, Carly finds out that Jason is hurt and faints. While Carly is being checked out by Dr. Lee, Jax overhears that Carly is in danger because of her condition. Jax confronts Carly and tries to convince Carly to terminate the pregnancy but Carly convinces him to take a risk and they decide to keep the baby.
In June 2009, during a fight with Claudia Zacchara the pregnant women fall down a flight of stairs, but Carly and the baby turn out to be fine. In July 2009, Carly saves Claudia after a car accident, but the stress of that causes Carly to faint, but again her and the baby turn out to be fine.
After having a dream sequence, on October 5, about her unborn child, Carly decides to name her child Josslyn John. On October 13, 2009, Carly goes into premature labor in the Jake's (now The Floating Rib) parking lot but Johnny Zacchara and Coleman Ratcliffe bring Carly to the hospital, where her doctor, Kelly Lee, states that if Carly gives birth naturally, then she and her unborn child would die. The labor was stopped and a date for a C-section was set.
