"Just a few more steps…" Sammy said quietly as he limped into the ER… and nearby, saw Carly getting blood drawn.
"Sammy!" Carly says, hopping off of the gurney and running over, the two hugging for a few seconds. "How the hell are you still alive?!"
"Trevor never looks at where he's aiming… below the window happened to be where the trash bags are kept when the bin overflows I guess… softened the fall enough that I didn't shatter my skull, I hope." Sammy says, tensing and hissing as Carly's arms moved, Carly feeling something and turning Sammy, seeing the lid of an opened can jammed in his back between two ribs. "Yeah… but that happened."
"You are seriously one lucky person… you could've ended up in the morgue." Carly says, Sammy seeing the bandage on her arm.
Helping him steady himself, Carly helped Sammy into Sam's room and Sam and Sammy hugged.
"Heh… I'd know the feel of your whopping hands any day." Sam says quietly.
"Are you… blind?" Sammy asks.
"I am?... that explains the swollen shins." Sam says, jokingly but confirming too.
"This is fucked up…" Carly says, turning and seeing Johnny before the two hugged and Blake and Franklin hugging.
At the same time in Paleto Bay, Immy's head snapped up, which worried Eli.
"Babe, you alright?" Eli asks, Immy calling Carly.
"Immy?" Carly says.
"What happened?" Immy asks.
"Trevor went batshit and tried to kill Sam and Sammy…" Carly says.
"Is she… how are they?" Immy asks.
"Sammy went through a window… and Sam is blind." Carly says, Immy letting out a strangled cry. "It's gone too far this time… I hope he gets the death penalty."
"You and me both… you still feeling sick?" Immy says.
"Just had blood drawn… results should be back soon." Carly says.
"You… given it any thought? You know, what the blood test can tell you?" Immy asks.
"Yeah… five weeks or thereabouts…" Carly says.
"I had actually… had a hint. That machine I was working on a few weeks back, the one that scans the whole body at once. It said you were pregnant… then it didn't, then it did, it kept alternating between the two. I thought it was just a fault but… maybe it was really because it was so early into it and all the traces were still mild, bordering between being positive or just normal." Immy says.
"Maybe… this early, it's gonna flip flop. Norah said she had to take three tests before confirming with a blood test." Carly says.
"Yeah… so what kind of damage exactly is Sam on the receiving end of?" Immy asks, Carly knowing she was going to get together some of her tools and devices.
"Her corneas are scratched up all to hell… they're talking about donor ones." Carly says, Johnny's hand holding hers.
"Not gonna happen. You know Sam, the knowledge that she'd have a dead person's eyes would drive her insane." Immy says, Carly knowing what she meant, how crazy Sam went when faced with something dead. It was one of the reasons she refused to kill anyone even in the worst times.
"Yeah… they have her sedated now." Carly says, shaking slightly. "I've never been so scared, Immy… he could've killed them."
"I know… you keep yourself calm and I'll be around in a bit, see what I can do about Sam." Immy says.
The two hung up, Johnny making the next call.
"Johnny, don't you ever sleep?!" Jack asks.
"Where's Rey?" Johnny asks.
"Uhh… if my ears are right, she's at the kettle probably making coffee." Jack says.
"Sam and Sammy are in the ER." Johnny says, Rey's footsteps becoming louder as she ran to the phone and took it from Jack.
"What happened?!" Rey asks, panicking.
"Trevor tried to kill them… he blinded Sam, hit her with a hammer." Johnny says, Rey screaming in rage.
At the same time, Trevor was thrown into a cell and the door was slammed, Trevor standing up.
"I've been waiting to lock you in here a long time… I just wish it was under better circumstances other than you trying to kill your daughter and her fiance." Benson says.
"I was… fixing things before they went too far! I tried that with Carly and Johnny and look at them, newly eloped!" Trevor shouts.
"Because you didn't give them a choice!" Trevor heard, looked and saw Carter. "It's called growing up, Trevor… Carly, Sam, Blake… they're not those little girls we knew. I welcomed that they grew up… why didn't you? Why'd you refuse to, Trevor?" Carter says.
"They were doing more than growing up… they cut me out of their lives, Blake's the reason I'm in this damn cell!" Trevor says.
"The reason you're here is because you tried to murder Sam and Sammy… it's your own damn fault." Carter says before leaving.
Reaching the ER, Carter found Carly leaned against the wall with a serious but nervous look on her face when she saw him. Carter walked over to his 20 year old niece, resting a hand on her right shoulder.
"I think you might want to sit down for this, Uncle Carter." Carly says, Carter turning concerned and rubbing her shoulders.
"What's the matter, Violet?" Carter asked. "You can tell me anything."
"I'm pregnant." Carly says, Carter's mouth falling open in shock.
"Carly… that's… that's great news." Carter said before hugging his niece. "You're gonna be a mother."
"It is, it's… overwhelming. First time around, I'm excited but… scared." Carly says after the two let go.
"Have you told Johnny yet?" Carter asked. "I bet he'll be happy about the news."
"He's delighted. He's already picking out names for this little one." Carly says as Johnny walked over to them, Carter and Johnny hugging.
"Hey, congratulationson being a father, Johnny." Carter complemented him.
"Thanks… just a bit nervous on telling the others." Johnny says after they let go, his left hand lightly grabbing Carly's shaking right one.
"I was nervous when I told everyone that my ex-fiancee was pregnant with Blake, but I was ecstatic. Even with Norah and Charlie." Carter explained. "Don't worry, it's normal, you two."
Carter went to check on Sam, who reached her hand out and him grabbing it.
"This feels weird… not physically seeing you." Sam says as Carter brushed her hair back.
"I know how it feels, Sam." Carter said,before touching her left cheek. "I'm sorry that the bastard did this to you."
"I just wanted him to listen… his kids aren't kids anymore." Sam says, Carter knowing that she was referring to Camari recently joining the Navy and Rey becoming romantically involved with Jack.
"I know… I know, Sam." Carter said softly, before holding on to her right hand. "You kids have grown up so much. Sometimes, I wish that you'll stop growing, but… we have to let it go."
"Yes we do." Sam says.
Out in the hallway, Blake handed a bottle of ginger ale to Carly, who slowly sipped it to take the edge off of the nausea.
"Did it work?" Blake asked.
"A bit… I have a feeling that this little one's being restless like her mom." Carly says.
"Wait… little one?" Blake asked confused before looking down at Carly's flat stomach.
"Blood test came back positive… you're gonna be an aunt." Carly says, Blake smiling and the two hugging.
"Carly Jade! I'm so happy!" Blake squealed. "I'm going to be Auntie Blakey!"
The two let go before seeing Max drag a drunken Lunch into the ER.
"Not again." Carly says with a slight laugh, seeing Lynnette written on Lunch's forehead.
Blake started laughing, after seeing that. "This day gets crazier, but worse and with how Lunch is, strangely funny…"
"Let go of me!" Lunch slurred, trying to shove Max away.
"Why you bring her here?" Blake asked. "She so drunk and a dumbass right now."
"Didn't want to take her home with the way…" Max says before "Lynnette!" was heard, Carly knowing that voice.
"Calm down, Mom!" Lunch says.
"Damn!" Blake sweared. She knew who it was too.
"Selena, just calm down! It's been a fucked up night!" Carly says as Selena stormed over to them and her eyes narrowing at the small brunette who she partly blamed for Steve's death.
"Look at my daughter!" Selena hissed. "If Steve was alive and breathing, he could have taken care of Lynnette!"
"Hey, don't blame stuff on her!" Blake defended her cousin. "He should have died for the way your soon to be husband tried to come onto me with them fuckin' bad pun jokes. I thought he was my friend until he tried to touch me. I'm glad he's dead!"
"Steve was a fucked up mess of a man, if you could even call him a man with how many times he had tried to kill me and my family, Selena. I'm sorry but you're too damn brain dead to tell fucked up men apart from decent and caring ones!" Carly says.
"Yeah, I'm still glad I broke his hand and kicked him in the balls when he had me against the door of his bedroom, telling me that he wanted me." Blake reminded. "He even says he can do it better than my boyfriend."
Selena stormed off, Lunch offering Carly a beer.
"Can't right now, Lunchables." Carly says, Lunch turning confused but Max figured it out.
"But I'll take it, Lunch!" Blake said, taking the beer out of her hand and throwing it away.
"Carly, who are you gonna name as the godmother?" Max asks, Lunch's eyes widening in shock.
"Me, me, me!" Lunch shouted excitedly, Carly taking a deep breath to try to suppress her emotions.
Not even 2 months along and already her hormones were making her feel weird.
