Brenda's Room, Jax's Penthouse:
Brenda(lays in bed wearing a satisfied smile on her face)I wonder what 
you're doing now, Sonny. Are you laying in bed thinking of me like I'm 
thinking of you, or are you having sex with Carly trying to erase the 
touch and feel of me off you, not that it'll work? No, you won't let 
Carly touch you, tonight. The only one you'll want to be touched by is 
me. In fact, you won't want anyone else touching you now that you've 
been with me, again.(she runs a hand over her stomach)I wonder if it's 
even hit you, yet, that we could have made a baby, tonight. We were so 
wild for each other, we completely forgot about using protection. Right 
now, our baby could be growing inside me. And although I know it's the 
oldest trick in the book, if I am pregnant with your child, Sonny, I 
will use him or her to get Carly Roberts claws out of you. I'll use 
whatever weapon I have and do whatever it takes to get you back. And 
once I have you back, I'm never going to ever let you go, again. (she 
turns off her light and drifts off to sleep)

Sonny's Penthouse:
Luke(watches Sonny pacing the floor like a caged panther)All right, what 
did Brenda do to you, this time.
Sonny:How do you know something happened between Brenda and I, tonight?
Luke:Simple, when you left here you were fine. Then whenyou come back a 
couple of hours later you're a mess. There's only one person I know who 
can get you this upset. Brenda. So what has she done to you, this time.
Sonny:She told me she loves me and we made love in the boathouse.
Luke:Oh, Sonny, you didn't.
Sonny:I did. I couldn't stop myself. After it was over I got scared and 
I cut and run. Luke, do you know how it makes me feel to know something 
I did caused Brenda to have a mental breakdown. What if I do something 
to cause it to happen, again.
Luke:You know what I'm surprised about? That she hasn't caused you to 
have a mental breakdown, by now. First she wore a wire for the cops, 
then she was crawling all over Miguel in front of you, which was only 
topped by her stalking you and luring you out in the middle of the 
blizzard to rescue her, which almost ended up getting you killed. It's a 
miracle the men in white coats didn't drag you off to the laughing 
academy in a straitjacket a long time ago.
Sonny:Luke, what if I go back to her and I make the wrong choice, again. 
I really thought I was doing the right thing by not marrying her. 
Because I married Lily she ended up dead, so I thought the dream I had 
the night before our wedding was a warning of what would happen if I 
went through with marrying Brenda. I know what she's like, Luke. If I 
had gone to her and told her why I couldn't marry her, she wouldn't have 
let me go. She would have pooh-poohed my fears away and told me I was 
just having pre-wedding jitters. She would have followed me the same way 
she did when I married Lily and she began stalking me. So I thought the 
best way to set her free was to make her hate me. I figured she'd hate 
me and get on with her life. I never dreamed she'd have a mental 
breakdown. When I left town I saw her with Jax on the spot where we 
first met and she seemed happy. As much as that hurt, I was able to 
leave with the knowledge that despite some unintended results, I really 
had done the right thing. She was happy, she was safe and that was the 
most important thing to me. Then a month of so later on the day that 
would have been our one-year wedding anniversary, she was dead and I 
couldn't deny the truth any longer. I made the wrong choice. If I'd 
married Brenda and taken her away with me like we planned she wouldn't 
have had a breakdown, been shot and her mother wouldn't have been able 
to find her. She would have been safe with me celebrating our wedding 
anniversary. I married Lily and she died. I didn't marry Brenda and she 
died. Luke, no matter what I do I always end up making the wrong choice 
and someone always ends up dead because of it.
Luke:You know how I feel about Brenda. I curse the day you ever met that 
woman. So I can't believe I'm about to say this. It seems to me the only 
time things seem to go wrong is when you decide to walk away from 
Brenda. Look at the facts. When you got arrested after Stone died you 
had a choice to runaway with Brenda or stay in Port Charles and marry 
Lily. You married Lily and you say if you hadn't she wouldn't have died. 
Again, you had the choice of running away with Brenda or remaining with 
Lily who was pregnant with your child. You chose to stay with Lily. If 
you and Brenda had runaway like you planned you would have been long 
gone before Rivera could have planted a bomb in your car and Lily and 
your child would be alive, today. And you said yourself if you had 
married Brenda she wouldn't have had a breakdown, been shot or almost 
died if you hadn't chosen to walk away from her, again.
Carly(standing at the top of the stairs)Thank you so much, Uncle Luke. 
Don't think I'll forget about this anytime soon.
Luke:Maybe the little twits, right. Maybe you two really do belong 
together.
Sonny:You know what Brenda told me, tonight? That something always 
stopped her from really marrying Jax. That even when I was completely 
out of the picture and nothing should have stopped her from marrying 
him, something did in the guise of her mother. Now you're telling me 
everytime I've chosen to walk away from Brenda something bad ultimately 
happens.
Luke(lighting a cigar)Look, partner, you're the one who believes in 
signs and stuff like that. That there's some unseen higher power in the 
cosmos. I'm just pointing out to you that there seems to be a pattern, 
here.
Sonny:Luke, I've made promises to Carly and Benny. I told Carly I'd stay 
married to her until she's at least granted permanently custody of 
Michael. If I leave her for Brenda, the Q's will move in on her and take 
Michael away from her. And what about Benny. I've promised him I'd 
restructure the mob and lead him, again. If I've learned anything from 
this mess it's that I can't have both Brenda and the mob. And even if I 
wanted to try, Benny and his associates wouldn't let me. They won't 
tolerate me being head of the mob and being with Brenda. They've already 
started making noises because Brenda was alive and back in town.
Luke:It sounds like you've got some big decisions to make.
Sonny:But you've as much as said that if I choose to walk away from 
Brenda, again, something bad is going to happen.
Luke:Son, I can't tell you what to do, but I have one piece of advice to 
offeryou. Whatever you do, don't let Carly know you slept with Brenda. 
Because if she finds out, there's no telling what she might do.
Carly:You're so right, Uncle Luke. There is no telling just what I might 
do.(she stomps ack to her and Sonny's bedroom and quietly closes the 
door behind her)Damn it, why couldn't that bitch have stayed dead. If it 
wasn't for her, I know I could convince Sonny to make our marriage 
permanent.(she begins pacing)I've got to think. What am I going to do 
about this? How can I turn this situation around to my advantage. All 
right, first things first. What do I having going for me in my 
favor.(she ticks them off on her fingers)Sonny was obviously feeling 
guilty about cheating on me, earlier this evening. He also feels bound 
by the promise he made me to make sure the Quartermaines don't take 
Michael away from me. And he can have the mob with me, but not with 
Brenda.(she sits down on the bed)So what stragedy can I employ. I can 
plan on Sonny's sympathy and guilt so he doesn't leave me until I'm 
granted permanent custody of Michael, but that will only buy me some 
time. If I want to stay Mrs. Michael Corinthos, I need a more permanent 
solution. Something that will bind Sonny to me for the rest of his 
life.(she begins pacing, again)Each day Sonny's grows more and more 
attached to Michael, but he's still in love with Brenda. I don't see 
Sonny give up the love of his life to be the father of a child that 
isn't his own. He did it when Lily conveniently got herself knocked up, 
but that was his own flesh-and-blood.(the solution to her problem 
suddenly hits her)Of course, that's it! Why didn't I think of this 
before. If I get myself pregnant by Sonny, he'll never leave me. He'll 
stay married to me for the rest of his life.(then the reality of the 
sitation hits her)But that's going to be easier said than done. If I 
suddenly ask Sonny not to use protection the next time we have sex he's 
going to get suspicious. And if I claim I'm on the pill and I get 
pregnant he'll suspect I got pregnant on purpose to trap him. For this 
to work I've got to play it the way Lily did. I have to make it look 
like this is an unplanned pregnancy. So how am I going to get myself 
pregnant while Sonny's wearing a condom.(a devious smile spreads across 
her face)Of course. He'll never suspect a thing, but more importantly he 
won't be able to prove that I did it. Heck, I doubt Sonny would even 
suspect I'd do a thing like that in the first place. But he don't know 
me very well, do he.(Carly takes Sonny's box of condoms off the 
nightstand and carries them into the bathroom over to the sink. Next she 
takes out a foil and uses one of Michael's diaper pins to poke holes in 
it, then she holds it up and examines it)You can't even tell anything's 
been done to it if you're not looking for it.(she turns on one of the 
faucets, rips open the package and unrolls the condom. Then she holds it 
under the tap. Once it's filled with water, she holds it and smiles as 
water begins squirting out of the holes she made)Perfect.(Sitting down 
on the floor, she empties the box of condoms in her lap, and one by one 
she begins poking holes in the foils before returning them to the 
box)Well, you know what they say. Condoms aren't one-hundred percent 
safe. The only real safe sex is no sex because accidents happen. 
Oops!(once all the foils are back in the box, she walks back into the 
bedroom and puts the box of condoms back on the nightstand, then she 
climbs in bed and waits for Sonny to come upstairs)Come on, Sonny. Come 
to bed and make a baby with me.

The Brownstone:
Bobbie(and Jerry enter)It's good to be home.(she collapses on the couch 
and kicks off her shoes)
Jerry:(joins her)It was a long evening. Unfortunately, you spent most of 
it with Cassadine. But I think I've come up with a solution for that.
Bobbie:Oh, really and what's that. Do you plan to chain me to your side 
from now on.
Jerry:In a manner of speaking, yes.(he takes her hand in has and goes 
down on one knee)I know this isn't the most romantic proposal. I should 
have the place lit with candles with a violinist playing a romantic tune 
in the background. Then over a gourmet dinner, I would take your hand 
and sya, Barbara Jean Spencer, will you marry me. But I can't wait for 
that. Bobbie, before I met you, I never thought I'd ever settle down, 
but I want to with you. I want to be a father to Lucas and I want to be 
a husband to you. Bobbie, will you marry me.(Bobbie remains 
uncomfortably silent)Bobbie, this is the part where you're supposed to 
say yes and throw yourself in my arms.
Bobbie:(slowly slides her hand out of his)I'm sorry, Jerry. I can't 
marry you. It's not you, it's me. I'm just not ready to be married, 
again. My last two marriages to Tony and Stefan ended disasterously and 
I'm just not ready to be another man's wife, yet.
Jerry(stands up and walks away from her)Why do I have a feeling if I'd 
asked you to be my wife before Jones' kidnapped you, your answer would 
have been different and your refusal has more to do with Cassadine than 
anything else. Things have changed between us since your kidnapping. I 
can feel you drawing away from me and turning to Cassadine. You even 
hold a part of yourself from me when we're making love.
Bobbie:Jerry, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen.
Jerry:Something happened between you and Cassadine, tonight, dind't it. 
No, don't tell me, I really don't want to know. Besides, it's not 
necessary. I could tell something was different between the two of you 
when I was watching you dance together. Maybe that explains this urgent 
need I had to propose to you, tonight.
Bobbie:What will you do now?
Jerry:I probably wasn't really cut out for home and hearth, anyway. I 
think it's time I was moving on. I stayed in Port Charles longer than I 
was planning, anyway.
Bobbie:When will you go?
Jerry:In the morning. Would I be asking too much if I asked for one last 
night in your arms before we say goodbye?
Bobbie(wraps her arms around him)No, you wouldn't be asking too much, at 
all. In fact, I insist upon it.(he picks her up in his arms and carries 
her to the bedroom where they begin making love for the last time)

Down In The Basement:
Tony(rubs his hands together in glee.)Thank you, Mr. Jacks. Once you're 
gone, Bobbie will be all alone here. It'll be just the two of us and 
then I can really have some fun with her.




































































































Has Jerry hammered a nail in his own coffin by telling Jax he worked for 
Stefan? If Jax uses the info Jerry gave him against Stefan and Stefan 
realizes where he got it from, just what will he do to Jerry in 
retaliation?
