A/N: At this point in time, I haven't revealed Carly's mother, but it is NOT Bobbie. Also, and text woth an * in front of it is a dream.


I was surprised some called me Mrs. Corinthos.

"That's me. May I ask who is calling?"

"This is Lt. Garcia. Mrs. Corinthos, your husband has been shot to death."

I say "Thank you. I'll be in Port Charles soon." and hang up my phone. I start to cry, and Gillian hugs me.

"What happened?" Robin asked when she got back to the table.

"Sonny was shot to death. Oh, god." I said.

Gillian called a plane and got it ready."Car, you are going back to Port Charles by yourself. You'll need closure on it." Gillian said.

I went to Wildwind and got my stuff. "Thanks, Gil. I really needed this. I'll come back as soon as I can. See you later."

"No problem. We'll tell Hayley and Mateo you said hi. You need to go home, so go."

I got on the plane and we took off. I was staring out the window, and fell asleep.

*I stepped off the plane, and flew into Sonny's arms.

"God, I missed you so much." I said.

"Carly, you can't ever leave again. I missed you too badly." he teased.

We were leaving the airport when I said "I'm starved. Can we stop by Kelly's?"

Sonny nodded and we stopped there. We were about to walk in when I heard a loud sound, almost like gunfire. I dropped to the ground, and I heard a thud after that. After a moment, I got up. I looked at Sonny. He had been shot, and he was dead.*

I woke up from my dream, and realized that all it was was a dream. This wasn't, though. Sonny really had died. A fe minutes later, the pilot told me we would be landing in 5 minutes.

"Here goes nothing." I said, and stepped off the plane. I looked around and saw Eve Thornhat and Chris Ramsey. Eve was my best friend in Port Charles. Chris had never been nice to me, but I saw his face when he saw me. It was full of compassion and sympathy. I walk toward them and drop my stuff. Eve hugs me and says "It's okay. He died in a shootout with Jason."

I start crying and Chris gives me a hug. "Carly, it's okay. Jason wouldn't do what Sonny wanted, and Sonny pulled a gun on him." I am still sobbing, and Chris just holds me.

I stop crying and ask "Did he die quickly?"

Eve nodded. "He died at GH. I'm sorry, sweetie. We tried to save him."

Chris wrapped his arm around me and siad "Carly, do you want to stay in your penthouse or at Eve's apartment?"

I think for a moment and say "The penthouse. I need to say good-bye to a dream that will never happen." I watch as Chris and Eve exchange glances. "Okay, what's going on?"

"Carly, Alexis is pregnant. Just thought you would like to know." Eve said quietly.

"Yeah, whatever." I grab my stuff and we head for a cab. When we get to the penthouse, I look in first.

"Somethings never change." I said.

Flashback

I walk in to the pnthouse and call for Sonny. "Are you here?"

He comes downstairs and said "What now, Carly?"

I hand him the divorce papers. I look arouund the penthouse. It was so dark, and dramatic. I sigh and watch him sign the papers. "Thanks, You'll be hearing from Scotty later, Sonny."

End of Flashback

Alexis walks out of her penthouse, PH2, and says "Johnny, can I get..." she stops when she sees me. "Why are you here, Carly?"

I look at her and say "Well, I do own this penthouse. In fact, I own yours too. When I divorced Sonny, I got both penthouses, among other things. Also, I believe Johnny is still a guard for me. Isn't that right, Johnny?" He nods. "So, Ms. Davis, please go back to your penthouse. Or maybe you should find a room at the Port Charles Hotel."

Alexis looks at me with shock. "When you left, Carly, you were a shell. Now, what makes you think that you can kick me out?"

"I own this place, okay? If I say a word about anything to you, you are out. Permanetly. I don't care about anything, especially since you are pregnant. I'm more of a Cassadine than you are, anyway. My mother was married to one, at least!" I say vengefully.

"Your mother is nothing but a -"

I cut her off and say "Out. Now!"

Alexis says "No way am I leaving. Sonny said I could always stay here, and I will."

"Well, sweetie, Sonny is dead. And no one else is going to save your sorry butt. So go." I turn back to Chris and Eve. "Sorry about that display. It was going to happen sooner or later."

We walked into the penthouse together. "Can someone please tell me that this isn't happening." I said.

Eve looked at her watch, and said "My shift starts soon. Car, will you be okay?"

I nod, and say "Go. Call me after your shift."

Eve left and Chris said "Carly, do you want me to stay here tonight, with you? I'll stay in the guestroom."

"Yeah, thanks, Chris." I hear a knock on the door, and go answer it. I open the door and I just stand there.
