Carly
"Hal, It's Carly."
Hal
"Carly where the hell are you?"
Carly
"I can't tell you that Hal. I don't want to be found right now."
Hal
"Carly I know Jack hurt you, but that does not give you the right to leave your son."
Carly
"I know Hal, and I'm sorry, but that is not the reason I am not back yet."
Hal
"Then why are you still gone?"
Carly
"I am pregnant with Jacks child."
Hal
"Oh Carly, I'm so sorry."
Carly
"Please don't tell Jack. I don't want to disrupt his life anymore."
Hal
"Carly, you are pregnant with his child, you have to tell him."
Carly
"I will tell him, some day. Please just tell Parker that I love him."
Hal
"When are you coming back?"
Carly
"I'm not sure yet, just tell Parker that I love him."
Carly
"Molly, it's me."
Molly
"Carly, where are you?"
Carly
"I'm in New York."
Molly
"What are you doing there?"
Carly
"I'm pregnant Molly, with Jacks baby."
Molly
"Oh God really?"
Carly
"Yes, really. I don't know what to do either."
Molly
"Are you going to keep the baby?"
Carly
"I'm going to have the baby, but I don't know how I can go back to Oakdale pregnant with Jacks child, or even with his child."
Molly
"Carly you have to tell Jack."
Carly
"I know, but how can I tell him when Julia is also pregnant?"
Molly
"Very easily, `I am pregnant with your child Jack.' Boy, that was very easy."
Carly
"Molly, it won't be that easy to tell him. He will be angry that I did not tell him sooner."
Molly
"Carly you should give him more credit than that."
Carly
"I know I should. Just don't tell him where I am and that I am pregnant. I want to be the one to tell him."
Molly
"All right Carly. Good luck."
Nurse
"Julia Snyder please."
Jack
"This is her husband, how can I help you?"
Nurse
"Please tell her that the Oakdale Clinic called."
Jack
"Regarding?"
Nurse
"Her pregnancy."
Jack
"I will tell her you called."
Jack
"Julia, where does the doctor you are seeing practice?"
Julia
"At Memorial. Why Jack?"
Jack
"You got a phone call today from the Oakdale Clinic."
Julia
"Oh."
Jack
"Why did they call Julia?"
Julia
"Well before I went to Memorial I went there. They must think I am still a patient."
Jack
"Hal, have you heard from Carly at all?"
Hal
"Yes, she called me last week."
Jack
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Hal
"She asked me not to."
Jack
"What else did she say?"
Hal
"I can't tell you, it would be better if Carly told you. You have to find her Jack, and talk to her."
Jack
"Why? Is she ok?"
Hal
"She is ok, but you have to talk to her. That's all I can tell you."
Jack
"Where is she?"
Hal
"She wouldn't tell me. Good luck finding her Jack. I hope everything works out for you two."
Nurse
"Oakdale Clinic."
Julia
"Hi, this is Julia Snyder."
Nurse
"Mrs. Snyder so nice to hear from you. We were just calling to find out if the treatment worked."
Julia
"It did, I am pregnant. Please don't call my house again. My husband does not know about the treatments. I will contact you if I need anything."
Jack
"Molly do you know where Carly is?"
Molly
"Yes, Jack she told me where she is."
Jack
"Can you please tell me, I need to speak with her?"
Molly
"She asked me not to tell you."
Jack
"Damn it Molly! Hal told me that I had to find her and talk to her, but he would not tell me why or where she is. Can you please tell me?"
Molly
"All I can tell you is that Hal is right. You have to find her Jack, find her and bring her home."
Carly
"Hey Molly."
Molly
"Hey Carly, how are you?"
Carly
"Scared, nervous, and mostly wishing Jack was here with me to make everything all better."
Molly
"Jack is looking for you. He knows something is up, but not what."
Carly
"You can't let him find out, that is the last thing he needs. Throw him off the track somehow."
Molly
"What should I tell him?"
Carly
"That I am sick. No wait that will make him search even more. Tell him I found someone else, and that I am happy."
Molly
"You think he will believe it?"
Carly
"Probably not, but it might stop him for a little while."
Molly
"All right. Next time I see him I will tell him."
Carly
"Just don't call him or actively seek him out, because then he will know it isn't true."
Carly
"Hold your horses, I'm coming. Who is it anyways?"
Craig
"Surprise!"
Carly
"Craig! What, what are you doing here? How did you find me?"
Craig
"What? Not happy to see your old buddy Craig."
Carly
"That doesn't answer my question. How did you find me?"
Craig brushes past Carly and sits on the sofa in her suite. Carly is right behind him. She stands staring down at him.
Craig
"Your not exactly a hard person to find Carly. Any fool would know to check your credit cards."
Carly
"When did I say you could come in? I haven't used my credit card for weeks."
Craig
"I figured you were just neglecting to do so. I never said that I just tracked you down, I just said that I did it through your credit cards."
Carly
"Ugh! Sometimes I just want to hit you. You can be so damn smug."
Craig
"What? Jack wasn't smart enough to look through your past transactions?"
Carly
"I don't know what Jack is doing, I don't want him looking for me."
Craig
"Why I though you two were happy and in love."
Carly
"You mean you haven't heard? Julia is pregnant with Jacks child. I am surprised your blushing bride isn't out planning the shower as we speak."
Craig
"Oh, that. Since when does a baby keep you from what you want."
Carly
"I can't make Jack leave his child. I would never make him choose between his child, and me so I just left town. And I would NEVER settle for being just his mistress."
Craig
"Ok, so do you have to leave town to do all this, or is there more?"
Carly
"Enough about me. Why are you here? You must have known for weeks that I have been here, why now do you decide to show up? What are you up to Craig?"
Craig
"Why do you presume that I am up to something?"
Carly
"Well, aren't you?"
Craig
"I need your help."
Carly
"Well that's funny cause I was just thinking, who is the last person I want to help right now. And get this, your name was at the top of the list."
Craig
"There is something in it for you."
Carly
"Where have I heard that before?"
Craig
"Just hear me out Carly. I will speak my piece and if you want no part of it I will leave."
Carly
"Promise?"
Craig
"Scouts honor."
Carly
"When were you a scout?"
Craig
"Doesn't matter. Barbara is not letting me have any fun. I need to get together some money and bring down Lucinda Walsh, and Barbara will not let me have any funds from BRO."
Carly
"And how am I supposed to help you with this? Just go up to her and say, `oh by the way Babs your husband wants to bring down Lucinda Walsh. Can he borrow money from you to do it?' She would either hit me across the face or laugh her head off; we are not exactly friends Craig. In fact she hates my guts."
Craig
"Did I ever say you have to talk to Bar-bar? No. I never even told you that. I need you to compete with her."
Carly
"What? Have you lost it this time Craig? How the heck am I supposed to compete with her?"
Craig
"I have some money. I could use it to start you up in your own clothing line. We could make it so that you would get so big that it would catch her eye. To end the competing I could get her to buy your company. Boom! You are working for Barbara, and have your own line. Then, since it was my idea for her to buy your line she would let me have a hand in the business, and then I could use the money to steal World Wide from Lucinda."
Carly
"Craig, you have a very devious and underhanded mind. I will give you that."
Craig
"Thank you."
Carly
"But, if you really think that would work you are nuts. Do you realize how long it takes to start a fashion line, months, even years? Plus it takes even longer for it to make it big. And by that time who says Barbara will even care that I am competing with her. I have to say Craig now that you have found your little nest egg you are slipping, this is the worst plan I think I have ever heard."
Craig
"Well I don't hear you thinking of anything. I would of figured that since you have been sitting around New York you might of thought of something I could use."
Carly
"I hate to break it to you Craig, but your problems are not exactly things I worry about, I have my own problems to deal with."
Craig
"Like."
Carly
"It's none of your business. Now since I heard you out, and refuse to go along with the idea will you leave."
Craig
"I will leave this time, but I promise I will be back with a new plan, and when I come back I expect to hear the real reason you are here."
Carly
"I'm sure you will and do. Goodbye Craig."
Craig
"I will be back Carly."
Carly
"Bye Craig."
Carly shuts the door and walks over to the sofa and sits down. While rubbing her stomach she says.
"Soon you won't be so easy to hide. Now that Craig knows where I am he will be coming by a lot. As I gain weight he will start asking questions. In a couple of months he will find out and before long your dad will find out. I know you are wondering why I am hiding you from him. It's just that he has a wife, and well she is nuts and got herself pregnant, and your dad being the guy that he is won't leave his child. I know that you are now saying, `but what about me?' It is different with you. Jack and I never were married we never got that far. In our hearts we have always been married, legally though he is married to her. He loves me, and when he find out about you he will love you more than life itself, I promise."
Molly
"Jake should I go out there and help her? She is all alone and pregnant with a married mans baby. She must be falling apart."
Jake
"I know, but did she say she was doing ok?"
Molly
"She sounded like she was ready to break down."
Jake
"Then maybe you should go out there."
Molly
"What should I tell WOAK and Abigail?"
Jake
"Tell them you are going to sample things for our wedding."
Molly
"Are you sure I should be doing this?"
Jake
"What is your gut saying?"
Molly
"To run to her as fast as I can and let her break down in my arms."
Jake
"Then start packing, I will call the airlines."
Molly
"Thank you Jake. I love you."
Jake
"I love you too. Just tell Carly that I am pulling for her."
Jack
"Are you sure this woman never was here 2 months ago?"
Nurse
"I am positive sir. That woman was not here."
Jack
"Well, if you remember anything about her please contact me, here is my card. This is a very important matter."
Molly
"Jack! What are you doing here?"
Jack
"I am trying to find out if Carly flew out of here when she left town 2 months ago. What are you doing?"
Molly
"I am going to New York to check on some things for my wedding. I spoke with Carly."
Jack
"What did she say? Is she ok?"
Molly
"She is fine. In fact, you are not going to like this. She has met someone. He makes her very happy Jack."
Jack
"Really?"
Molly
"Yeah. I am so sorry Jack. I guess she has moved on. She had to. You couldn't expect her to wait 18 years for your child with Julia to grow-up and leave before you two could be together."
Jack
"Yeah I know, but so soon? I love her, I don't think I can move on, let alone this fast."
Molly
"She had no choice, it was better for her to make a clean break and move on then for her to wallow for months. I have to go. I am so sorry you had to find out this way. Good luck with the baby."
Jack
"Yeah, thanks."
Molly turns and walks off towards the flight information desk.
"Carly you couldn't have gotten over me that fast. Could you of?"
"Hal, It's Carly."
Hal
"Carly where the hell are you?"
Carly
"I can't tell you that Hal. I don't want to be found right now."
Hal
"Carly I know Jack hurt you, but that does not give you the right to leave your son."
Carly
"I know Hal, and I'm sorry, but that is not the reason I am not back yet."
Hal
"Then why are you still gone?"
Carly
"I am pregnant with Jacks child."
Hal
"Oh Carly, I'm so sorry."
Carly
"Please don't tell Jack. I don't want to disrupt his life anymore."
Hal
"Carly, you are pregnant with his child, you have to tell him."
Carly
"I will tell him, some day. Please just tell Parker that I love him."
Hal
"When are you coming back?"
Carly
"I'm not sure yet, just tell Parker that I love him."

"Yes, really. I don't know what to do either."

Molly
"Carly you have to tell Jack."
Carly
"I know, but how can I tell him when Julia is also pregnant?"
Molly
