CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN

OPERATING ROOM, GENERAL HOSPITAL:

Tony(was just about to do the unthinkable when he felt a hand land on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Bobbie wearing surgical scrubs.)Bobbie, what are you doing here?

Bobbie; Tony, don’t do it! This won’t make me come back to you. Nothing will. Tony, I don’t love you and I’m never coming back to you and there’s nothing you can do to change that.

O.R. Nurse #2: Dr. Jones, do you want me to have the back-up surgeon continue?

Tony: No, I’ll finish it. (he turned his attention back to Stefan, while Bobbie watched in horror wondering if what she’d said to Tony had gotten through to him.)

SONNY AND CARLY’S BEDROOM, THE PENTHOUSE:

Sonny(laid back and sighed)Well, you kept your promise. I’ve never been waken up like that before. It was incredible.

Carly: (trailed kisses up his chest)I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll have to do it more often. And I will if you prance around in those skintight pants on a regular basis.

Sonny: I’m not sure if I could survive if you woke me up that way too many times. (he turned serious for a moment as he held her face in his hands and forced her to look at him)Are you all right?

Carly(smiled)Of course I’m fine. Sonny, we just got finished making incredible love. Why wouldn’t I be fine.

Sonny: I’m not talking about that. When we began making life I just sensed you were upset about something. The way you were making love to me it was almost with a desperation. Almost like you thought it was the last time we’d ever be together or something.

Carly: Baby, you’re imagining things.

Sonny: It’s not the baby or your father, is it? No one has been bothering you about you giving him your kidney, have they?

Carly: Sonny, everything is fine. And right now all I want to do is cuddle up to my hot-blooded hubby and take a long nap. (she kissed him on the tip of his nose)You quite exhausted me.

Sonny: I’m glad to know I did my job, properly. (the phone suddenly rang and he reached over to answer it)Hello. I was wondering when I’d hear back from you. What have you found out. (a pause)You’re kidding? Can you prove this? Fax me the proof as soon as possible.

Carly(as Sonny hung up the phone)Sonny, what is it?

Sonny: It’s the man I had looking into who Alexis’ father is.

Carly: Did he finally find out anything.

Sonny: Boy, did he ever. You’re not going to believe this. Alexis father is my father.

Carly: What!

Sonny: It’s true. Alexis Davis is my sister.

STEFAN’S ROOM, ICU:

Stefan(opened his eyes to find Tony taking his vital signs)So, I made it through surgery.

Tony: You can thank Bobbie for that. If it had been up to me, you’d be laying on a slab in the morgue as we speak.

Stefan: What are you talking about?

Tony: I don’t know how you did it, but I know you found some way to force Bobbie to come back to you. I thought if I got rid of you, Bobbie would come back to me. All it would have taken was a little slip of my wrist and you would have died on the operating table with no one the wiser. But Bobbie stopped me from doing it. She said she would never come back to me no matter what I did.

Stefan: You really are madder than a March hare aren’t you, Dr. Jones. You do know you’ve just confessed to contemplating to murder me on the operating table, don’t you?

Tony: I told you what I just did for a reason. Bobbie saved your life. So why don’t you repay her by letting her go.
