Outside Sonny's Penthouse:
Luke(as Sonny steps off the elevator with Michael)So you're finally up 
and around.
Sonny:I didn't really have much choice. Michael got sick and Carly and I 
had to rush him to the hospital.
Luke:Is he all right.
Sonny:(to the baby)You're just fine. Aren't you Michael.(to Luke)It was 
just a fever. What are you doing here.
Luke:I told you I'd be back to see you. And I came bearing a gift. How'd 
you like to jet off with me to Greece.
Sonny:What are you? Ed McMahon. What's up?
Luke:I discovered what the connection between Helena and Virginia Benson 
was. Brace yourself. You're not going to believe this. They were 
sisters.
Sonny:You're kidding. Why the trip to Greece.
Luke:I figure there must be more information stored away in the 
Cassadine compound in Greece, but I can't get in there alone. I'm going 
to need your help. So are you game?
Sonny:Why not? At least if I'm off helping you I won't have to thinking 
about the fact I've got a virus in my bloodstream slowly turning my 
healthy blood bad.
Luke:Have you talked to Brenda since this happened.
Sonny:No, I tried to call her, but I found out she and Jax are off in 
Alaska with his family.
Luke:Do you think she'll be safe with them.
Sonny:If I didn't, I'd be on a plane to Alaska as we speak. No, I'm sure 
Brenda's fine as long as I stay away from her. John Jacks won't harm a 
hair on her head as long as his goldenboy son wants to marry her.

Grant's Office, General Hospital:
Carly(enters)Could I talk to you for a moment, Dr. Andrews.
Grant:Of course, I thought you'd be home with your husband and son.
Carly:I would be, but something important has come up. Dr. Andrews, will 
whatever I say to you be in complete confidence.
Grant:Of course.
Carly:Dr. Andrews, until this afternoon I believed AJ Quartermaine was 
my son's father. But after what you told me about Matacumbe Syndrome 
it's got me wondering if it's at all possible that Sonny could really be 
Michael's father. Can you help me find out the truth.
Grant:How?
Carly:It's a long story, but I have no idea who my real father is so 
it's entirely possible I'm the one who could have passed the Matacumbe 
toxins on to Michael. Could you run a blood test onme to see if my blood 
carries the toxins in it.
Grant:Of course and if it doesn't?
Carly:If I can convince Sonny to have an HIV test done, could you also 
run a paternity test at the same time on Michael's blood and Sonny's to 
see if they're father and son.

Wyndemere:
Stefan(enters)Are you still mad at me?
Bobbie:No, you've told me what it was like for you to grow-up in the 
Cassadine family as the unwanted son and how Helena mistreated you. I 
know keeping that painting from Helena must be like finally getting a 
little of your own back at her. But I really think giving Helena that 
painting back is the only way out of this mess for us. The only way I'm 
going to be able to keep Lucas from Tony and your mother.
Stefan:I agree, that's why I went to see my mother and agreed to give 
her back her painting.
Bobbie:You did?
Stefan:I did. Only I negotiated a little better deal with my mother than 
you'd agreed to.
Bobbie:What's the new deal.
Stefan:Everything's the same except now you don't have to testify in 
Jones behalf at his hearing.
Bobbie:But if I don't testify for Tony he'll most assuredly go down for 
all his crimes.
Stefan(smiles)Exactly.
Bobbie:And your mother is willing to let her new husband crash and burn?
Stefan:I think Mother thought it was worth it to have me personally give 
her back her painting after all these years of keeping her away from it.
Bobbie:You're willing to give up that painting for me?
Stefan:Barbara, don't you know. You're far more important to me than 
that painting is. I love you.
Bobbie(throws her arms around him)I love you, too.

Sonny's Penthouse:
Sonny(as Carly enters)So, how did things go with your mother?
Carly:Just fine. Is Michael all settled in?
Sonny:He's as snug as a bug in a rug.
Carly:Actually, Bobbie and I got to talking about my father. She was 
telling me about the first time they met. And it kind of got me to 
thinking about the first time we met at Jake's.
Sonny:You mean the night when I first returned to town.
Carly:No, I was thinking of the night before that one.
Sonny:Carly, why are you bringing that up now after all this time. I 
thought we agreed we'd never mentioned to each other or anyone else.
Carly:I'm not ashamed of it. It was the first time we ever made love.
Sonny:No, it was the first time we had sex. I came into Jake's looking 
to sleep with a woman. Any woman. I was hurt and angry. I couldn't 
believe after all Brenda and I had been through together that she'd 
actually believe I'd plant drugs on her just so I could get her back. So 
I wanted to pay her back by sleeping with another woman. You as it 
turned out to be. And you'd had some fight or something with Tony Jones 
and you were looking for the same thing I was. So we ended up going 
upstairs and having sex, which we both immediately regretted, 
afterwards. Carly, you agreed we'd forget it ever happen. So why are you 
bringing it up after all this time. You didn't mention a word about it 
that night at Jake's. You came up to me and acted like we'd never met 
before and I played along with you because I figured you didn't want to 
remember that previous night anymore than I did.
Carly:I don't know why I brought it up. I was just thinking. When we 
walked out of that room above Jake's I wanted a life with Tony and you 
wanted one with Brenda. It's just kind of ironic that after the way we 
began we ended up together, don't you think.
Sonny:Life holds strange twists and turns. Look at me. Who would have 
ever thought John Jacks would inject me with infected blood to stop 
Brenda from dumping his son for me. I certainly wouldn't.
Carly:Speaking of which, don't you think it's time you let Dr. Andrews 
do an HIV test on you. If you do have it, isn't it better you know about 
it as soon as possible so they can start treating you and prolong your 
good health?
Sonny:I suppose you're right. Not having the test isn't going to make me 
not have the disease. All right, I'll make an appointment to do it 
before Luke and I head to Greece.
Carly:You and Uncle Luke are going to Greece. Since when?
Sonny:When I got home Luke was waiting for me and he asked me to go 
along with him and I said I would. You don't mind, do you?
Carly:No, I think a trip to Greece with Luke will be good for you. Why 
don't you call Dr. Andrews now and set up that appointment.
Sonny:All right, I mayaswell get it over with.

Bobbie's Bedroom, Wyndemere:
Bobbie(takes a locket from her jewelry box. A gift from Cass Stepehens 
during their brief romance)I really should give this to Carly. Then she 
could have something of her father's. (her mind drifts back to the past 
to the second time she met Cass Stephens. Bobbie had returned to the 
same spot on the beach that she's met him the previous day hoping that 
she might run into him, again. Although, he was obviously out of her 
league, something about him intrigued her. And eventhough he seemed like 
an egghead, he was a really cute egghead)So, we meet again.
Cass:Ah, the sand thrower.
Bobbie:Still reading War and Peace, the russian edition.
Cass:No, I finished that. Now, I'm reading Nostradamus, the latin 
version.
Bobbie:Don't you ever read anything in english?
Cass:I believe it stimulates the mind more by reading books written in 
different languages, like french, latin and russian.
Bobbie(decided right then and there to see if she couldn't stimulate his 
other senses)Since you're doing nothing but reading, would you mind 
rubbing some suntan lotion on my back. I burn easily.(she hands him the 
bottle)
Cass(takes it as he heaves a long-suffering sigh)I suppose not.(then 
Bobbie turns her back on him and begins to unfasten her bikini top)What 
do you think you're doing?
Bobbie:(bites her bottom lip to keep from laughing)I don't want a tan 
line. (she holds her top to her breasts as she turns around to him)Oh, 
by the way, I'm Roberta Anderson.
Cass(looking down at her barely concealed breasts)I'm Cass Stephens.
Bobbie(comes back to the present with a smile on her face)I can't 
believe I did that. But I did. And after that it was only a matter of 
time before we ended up in bed together. And Cass Stephens sure wasn't 
an egghead in bed.


























Will February Sweeps be a dud?
