Prelude - A pregant Carly has just saved Alcazar's life in the alley. She has now returned home to her husband who knows what she has done. She must face the consequences for her betrayal.
Carly stood at the bottom of the steps ready to take her usual ascent to her room and leave Sonny downstairs alone to get over his anger. I really did it this time, she thought to herself, but at least this time it is worth it, Lorenzo is alive. I couldn't live with myself if he had died. Suddenly Sonny's yelling snapped her back into her present dilemma.
Why do you keep doing this Carly, why do you keep pushing me, Sonny yelled, I'm getting sick and tired of having a wife that I can't trust! I don't know what's going on in your head anymore Carly, are you really this stupid. Just then Sonny heard the door slam shut and turned to see Jason standing in the room. Jason turned towards Carly, she was standing at the foot of the steps with a river of tears silently flowing down her cheeks. Jason gave her a look that signaled go upstairs and let me handle this. Carly quickly went up the stairs and slammed the bedroom door.
Jason turns to Sonny, What the hell are you doing Sonny! What's your problem?
She's driving me crazy Jason, she's making me say things I don't want to but she deserves it. Do you have any idea what she did tonight?
No, but whatever she did I'm sure it couldn't have been anything to deserve this.
Calling her stupid, Sonny she's your wife, the mother of your child and you called her stupid.
She saved Alcazar's life! She betrayed me!
Ok, she saved Alcazar' life but I'm sure she did for what she though was a good reason.
She said it was to protect you. She thought you had tried killed him.
Sonny, all this is beside the point. You need to think about how you're treating your wife or Alcazar will be the least of your worries. She'll leave on her own. Carly is only going to take so much of this before she gets fed up and leaves. You have to know your playing right into Alcazars hand. Calm down, go upstairs and apologize to you wife.
I can't, not right now. I need to think. I'm going for a walk.
Carly sits at the top of the stairs listening as Sonny & Jason leave. Finally someone has taken her side. Jase has always been there for her she so glad she can still count on him. Then her thoughts suddenly turned toward another person who had been there for her over and over again the past few months. Lorenzo. She had to go and make sure he was alright, she didn't know why but she needed to be sure he was ok. She grabs her coat and quickly leaves out the door.
She's standing in front of his door contemplating whether or not she should be doing this. She turned to walk away when she heard a deep hoarse voice, Mrs. Corinthos are you checking up on me. Carly turns to see Lorenzo standing in the doorway wearing a sleeveless T-shirt and black silk boxers.
Lorenzo looks at her, I would invite you in but as you can see I was about to go to bed. I just stepped out to see if Dillon had left the paper I asked him to get, but you are welcome to join me, he says with a smirk on his face.
Carly tries not to let her amusement show and very quickly spits out, I just wanted to make sure you were still breathing. I can see you're breathing just fine. I'll be going now.
Lorenzo nods his head in acknowledgement and mutters, by the way, make sure Morgan knows he owes you his life.
Carly quickly turns and walks toward Lorenzo, who had already stepped back inside the apartment door. Lorenzo thinks to himself, I knew that would get her going. Carly steps close enough to him that he can feel her extended belly grazing his abdomen.
She very calmly but sternly tells him, if you come anywhere near Jason I will personally finish the job that was started tonight. I breathed life back into you and I'll have no problem snatching it back.
Lorenzo stands there looking at her with a half smile on his face. She's so gorgeous when she's angry. Carly I promised you I would not retaliate against Morgan and I won't. Unlike other people in you life, I will respect your wishes.
Carly nods her head in agreement and walks toward the door. She turns one last time and looks at Lorenzo standing there in his boxers and says Thank-You as she walks out and closes the door behind her. She gets on the elevator and breaths a sigh of relief, he'll be fine.
