Carly gazed lovingly out the window as the
bright sunlight reflected off her flawless face. She was
destracted by two gentle hands placed firmly over her
shoulders.
"Good Morning." She heard her husband, Sonny,
whisper.
Carly whisped cautiously around revealing a
terrified look on her face. Sonny looked at Carly
questionly.
"What's wrong?" He inquired.
"Nothing." Carly answered in a low whisper as
a small smile spread over her face.
"Yeah?" Sonny said ubelievably. "How about the
truth. You're extra jumpy this morning and it wasn't the
morning coffee, so what is it?" Sonny asked as he placed
hands gently on her face.
"I don't know Sonny, maybe I'm just worried about
these paternity tests. I'm scheduled for another exam
today, you know? Sonny, what if the tests prove that
I'm not fertal? What if we can't have a baby together?"
Carly questioned as a single tear ran down her face.
"You're all the family I need. You, me, and
Michael. You are all I need." Sonny anwered without
hesitation. Carly forced a tiny smile on her face and
placed her hand over Sonny's, which was still resting
on her face. She leaned in for a kiss and insited she
had to leave. Carly gathered her purse and her jacket
and left for her appointment. As she reached the
elevetor, her attention destracted towards Alexi's door.
She thought for a second and quickly headed towards
ALexis's door. She impatiently pounded on the door until
a very aggravated Alexis opened it. Carly welcomed
herself in and made herself comfortable on Alexis's
couch.
"Come on in." Alexis muttered, as she closed the
door after Carly.
"We need to talk." Carly stated as she quickly
sat up from the couch.
"Yeah, write me a letter and please leave."
Alexis said as she pointed to the door and began
rumaging through her work and papers.
Carly didn't move. Alexis sighed and through off
her reading glasses.
"Carly, you barge into my house whenever you
feel like doing so. You threate me, you mock me, and now
you want to talk to me? Well, I'm not going to put away
all of my business and planed schedules to make a time
convinient for you. I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave."
"No." Carly said with an impatient laugh. "No,you
will listen to me and listen to me closely. As long as
you have Sonny's baby in your stomache for 9 months,
you will listen to every damn word I'm about to say."
"What was that?" A familiar voice spoke out
over the tension. "As long as Alexis is carrying my
baby?" Sonny said as he entered the room where both
Carly and Alexis were glaring at each other hopelessly.
"No, eh, you must have misunderstood Carly, you
see. She said as long as you have Ned's baby..."
"Stop lying to me!" Sonny yelled so loud
that both Alexis and Carly jumped to action.
"You lied to me. You knew about this the whole
time.You were actually going to let me believe." Sonny
began but his voice trailed off and his attention
quickly changed to a very helpless Carly.
"And you." Sonny began. "All this time." Sonny
lowered his head in dissaproval.
"Me?" Carly finally spoke out. "If you never
took Alexis to our bed she wouldn't be pregnant. That
should have been us, Sonny! Now you have the choice,
what's it going to be Sonny? You're old family, or youre
new one?" Carly inquired. Sonny looked rather burdended
by Carly's questioned before he finally answered....
