Note from Author: I wrote this FIC because I had heard someone mention "What if Carly was a Cassadine?" It hit me that this story line had lots of possibilities. Luke's sister sleeping with a Cassadine and having their baby. Carly being cousin to Alexis' daughter. It sounded good to me.

Carly was on her way to the hospital. Stefan Cassadine had been asking for her. She had no idea why. She had nothing to do with the Cassadines and had no intentions of becoming involved with them. She arrived at General Hospital and found Stefan's room. She hesitated at the door, and then went in. She looked at him, "What do you want, Stefan?" He looked up at her. "Carly, I'm your father", he said weakly. Carly's eyes became round. "There is no way you can be my father. You're an evil person", she said. He tried to reach for her. "Carly, let me explain", he pleaded. "No. No. I have to go", she turned and ran out of the room. "It can't be true", Carly said over and over. She went to the nurses' desk, "Amy, have you seen my mother?" she asked. Amy saw the tears in Carly's eyes. "Yeah, hang on a minute. I'll get her." Carly went and sat down. A few minutes later Amy returned with Bobbie. Bobbie immediately ran to Carly, "What's wrong, Carly?" Bobbie asked.

Carly looked at her mother. "Stefan Cassadine says that he is my father" she said. Bobbie looked at her in amazement. "What did you say?" she asked. "Mom, where would he get an idea like that? Why would he think that he was my father?" Carly begged. Bobbie hugged her daughter. "I don't know, sweetie. But, we'll find out" Bobbie said. Bobbie led her daughter back to Stefan's room. "Stefan, where do you get off claiming to be my child's father?" Bobbie demanded. Stefan opened his eyes and looked at them. "Years ago, I used to keep the company of. lets just say ladies." Bobbie looked away feeling the shame of her past. Stefan, still struggling to speak said, "Bobbie, is it too much of a stretch of the mind to believe that you may have been one of them? Many of my. uh. companions were from Port Charles." Bobbie looked at him. "I would've remembered you. I would've remembered", she said. Stefan replied, "Would you have? Maybe not. Why don't we just do a DNA test and clear it up." Bobbie looked at Carly. "Why not, Carly? We can just solve this now." Carly stared at her mother. "What?" she said in amazement. "Carly, let's just do a DNA test and find out the truth. I'll set it up with Alan." Bobbie said. Carly shook her head. "Ok, fine", she said.

Carly walked through the door throwing her purse down. Sonny turned around, "Carly. Where have you been?" Then he noticed the tears in her eyes. "Carly, what's wrong? Tell me." She looked at him, "Stefan Cassadine claims to be my father." Sonny led her over to the sofa. "What? Did you talk to Bobbie?" Carly shook her head, "She doesn't remember sleeping with Stefan. But, we took a DNA test anyway." He took his wife into his arms. "When will you know?" he asked. She shrugged. "Alan will call Bobbie with the results." Sonny stroked her hair. "We'll get through this. I promise."
