Ashley Flair could hear a pounding on her front door, and when she looked at her alarm clock, she groaned when she saw it was only 6AM. "Someone is going to die! This better be important," she said out loud. She then walked down the short hallway, and when she opened the door, she was surprised to see Ted.

"Ted? What are you doing here?"

"Is Carly here with you?"

Ashley was a little hesitant to answer. "I don't know if I should tell you where she is, Ted. When I talked to her on the phone yesterday, she was pretty hurt."

"Ashley, this is all a huge misunderstanding. I know what she is thinking, and I didn't do anything with Maryse. I was a little buzzed at the bar, and still don't know why, but I told Maryse everything what was going on. She tried to get me to go to her hotel room with her, but it didn't happen. I went to my own room. I swear its the truth."

Ashley looked Ted up and down. He truly looked like hell. His eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he had gotten very little sleep during the night, if any at all. She didn't know why, but she believed him. "Carly left about a half hour ago for her morning jog."

Ted let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you Ashley! Do you mind if I wait for her?"

"I guess not," she said as she stepped aside so Ted could come in. "But if you say anything to hurt her anymore I will hurt you myself."

"Don't worry. I am just going to explain myself," he said as he held up his hands in surrender. "By the way, where's Alex? Can I see him?"

"He's in Carly's room sleeping in the playpen."

"Thanks," Ted replied as he went down the hallway and quietly walked into the guest bedroom. As he bent over the playpen, he softly smiled as he patted Alex's back. "Hi big guy," he whispered. "Boy, Daddy has messed everything up hasn't he? Don't worry, he's going to try and convice Mommy to come home with you."

Meanwhile, Carly just walked through the front door, and when she walked into the kitchen, she was surprised to see Ashley up. "What are you doing up? Did Alex wake up early or something?"

"No, he's still asleep. Ummm...I got a visitor this morning-about 10 minutes ago actually."

"Oh, who?" Carly asked as she took a drink of her water.

"Ted," Ashley said as Carly literally spit out her water.

"What?!" Carly exclaimed. "How did he find me? Why did you let him in, and where is he now?"

"He said this whole thing with Maryse is a huge misunderstanding, and he truly looks like hell Carly. When he told me everything, I could tell he was telling the truth. He's in your bedroom now. He wanted to see Alex."

Carly took off down the hall, and when she walked in her room, her heart broke. Ted was sitting on the floor, just staring at Alex. "Hi," she whispered.

Ted looked up at Carly in the doorway and smiled as he walked toward her. "Hey."

"What are you doing here?"

"I came back for you and Alex. I want you guys to come home," Ted said as he attempted to take Carly's hand.

"Ted..."

"Please, lets go outside. I don't want to wake up Alex."

Carly only nodded as she followed Ted outside, and they both sat on the front porch swing. Again, Ted tried to grab Carly's hand. This time, she let him.

"Ok you said you had something to say...so just go ahead and say it," Carly said, not making eye contact with Ted.

"First of all, the whole thing with Maryse is a HUGE misunderstanding. All of us went down to a club down the road from the hotel last Friday night, and I was buzzed when Maryse sat down next to me. I still don't know why but I told her everything that was going on. She then tried to persuade me to go to her hotel room with her, but I was sober enough to know what she was asking me. I told her I couldn't do that to you and I went to me and Randy's room. That is when I tried to call you."

"Well...then how come when I called you, it just rang and went to voicemail?"

"I put it on silent so I could get some rest. I knew it was late so I really didn't figure you would have called me back that night. If I would have known you would have tried, then obviously I wouldn't have put it on silent."

Carly was quiet as she got up from the swing and walked toward the porch bannister. Ted walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her trim waist. "Baby...please say something."

"How do I know all of this is true?" Carly asked as she looked Ted in the eye, tears now starting to roll down her cheeks. "You could be telling me one thing when something totally different could be the truth."

"Babe, I flew to North Carolina on like maybe 3 hours of sleep to make this right. If something did happen, I would have flat out told you-just like I did when I kissed the stripper. You could even ask Randy. He complained to me the next morning that my snoring kept him awake for most of the night. Hell, you could even ask Maryse about it. She might not like to admit it, but she'll tell you I left her alone at the club."

Carly only nodded as Ted went on. "I also want to apologize for the way I've been acting lately. Your right-I did let my success go to my head...and I should have never accused you of being jealous. That was way out of line and I feel like an ass for saying it. I promise the old Ted is back. I just need you guys to come home. You and Alex are my world, and if you guys are gone...then I don't know what I would do."

Before Carly could respond, they both heard the front door open and Ashley walked out on the porch with Alex in her arms. "Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but I heard Alex get up and as I was burping him after his bottle I mentioned that daddy was here, and his eyes lit up."

Ted's eyes equally lit up as he took the cooing infant from Ashley. "Hi big guy!" he squealed as he kissed Alex's chubby cheek. "I missed you!"

"Thanks Ashley," Carly said as her older sister closed the front door once again.

"I'm not giving up Carly-not without a fight. I don't want to lose Alex, and I especially don't want to lose you. Your everything."

Carly met Ted's stare, and she could see the pain in his eyes, and a tear roll down his cheek. "I'll make you a deal," she finally stated after a few moments of silence.

"What is it?" Ted asked.

"I'll go to Phoenix with you, and I'll definietly talk to Randy. I'll maybe talk to Maryse-depending on how much of a bitch she is that day. Then I will know for sure what I'm thinking."

"I know what I'm thinking about right now," Ted said.

"What is it?"

"I am thinking about how much I love you, and how much I love our son. I want you guys to come home, and I hope to God you believe Randy...because it is the truth."
