Sonny and Brenda's Bedroom, The Brownstone:
Sonny(holding Brenda in his arms)Do you want to tell me, now, why you were 
so upset when you arrived home, last night.
Brenda:You're not going to believe this. I still don't, myself. I found out 
Stefan Cassadine is my father.
Sonny:What! That's impossible.
Brenda:That was my exact reaction when I first found out. But when I 
confronted Stefan he admitted it was true.
Sonny:How is this possible. I thought Harlan Barrett was your father. You 
always told me he had no real feelings for you. So if you were really Stefan 
Cassadine's daughter, why wouldn't he have thrown that in your face when you 
were growing up.
Brenda:I don't know. I'm really not sure. After Stefan told me it was true. 
That I was his daughter. I just kind of shut-down and stopped listening to 
what he was saying. I just wanted to get away from him and come home to you 
where you could put your arms around me and make me feel safe and make it 
all go away for awhile.
Sonny:Maybe you should find out exactly how you can be his daughter when 
you've been lead to believe all your life that Harlan Barrett was your real 
father. When he returns to Port Charles maybe you should go to him and 
demand some answers and find out what he has to say on the subject.
Brenda:I don't know, Sonny. I just want to forget it ever happened and that 
I ever found out about it.
Sonny:Brenda, if Stefan Cassadine is your father, that makes him our child's 
grandfather. For our child's sake you've got to deal with this. If he's your 
father, then he'll naturally be a part of our child's life, as well, no 
matter how you may feel about him.
Brenda:All right, I'll think about it, but that's all I can promise you.

Outside of Robin's Cottage:
Robert:Well, here we are.(he makes to rap on the door, but Anna grabs his 
arm to stop him)
Anna:Robert, don't.
Robert:Why not?
Anna;I'm just not ready to confront this, yet. Can we just wait a few 
minutes before we see Robin and everything changes.
Robert:All right, luv, if that's what you want.
Anna:It is. You know she's bound to be angry at us for letting her believe 
we were dead all this time. For letting all the birthdays and holidays go by 
without ever trying to contact her and let her know we were alive.
Robert:We thought what we were doing was for the best. It was the only way 
we thought she'd ever be able to lead a normal life and not be constantly 
exposed to the danger that surrounded both of us.
Anna:Something tells me she's not going to understand that, especialy when 
she finds out we've been in town all this time and we haven't made one move 
to contact her.
Robert:Or that the only reason we're seeking her out now is to tell her her 
boyfriend is really her twin brother.
Anna:Let's just get this over with. The longer we wait the worst it's going 
to be. I'm ready now. Ready as I'll ever be.
Robert:Are you sure?
Anna:Yes, I'm sure.(Robert knocks on the door)
Robin(comes to the door a few minutes later and stares at them in shock)Mom! 
Dad! It can't be you. You're dead.
Robert:It is, sweetheart. Live and in person. Reports of our deaths have 
been greatly exaggerated.
Anna:May we come in, darling. We really need to talk to you about something 
important.
Robin(steps aside so they can enter)I don't understand. If you've been alive 
all this time why didn't you try to contact me and tell me you were alive. 
Why have you let me believe you were dead all this time. Did you both have 
collective amnesia or were you both in a coma all this time?
Robert:No, after your mother and I escaped from Faison's ship we decided it 
was for the best if we let everyone think we had died in the explosion.
Anna:That it was for your own...
Robin(interrupts)Please, Mother, don't say it was for my own good. If you do 
I think I'll puke. You think it was for my own good to let me think my 
parents were dead all this time. You see, while you two were off doing 
whatever while you let me mourn you, I grew up. I'm not a child anymore 
blindly accepting whatever you have to tell me. Thinking  the two of  you 
pretending to be dead is all just some sort of game you've made up to play 
with me. Or understanding why I didn't know you two were my parents until I 
was six years old. So, why are you here, anyway. I'm sure you must have a  
good reason for finally letting me know that you're alive after all this 
time. You two always do for everything that you do. So what is it.
Anna:Were here about Nikolas.
Robin:You're not going to object to me dating him because he was raised by 
the Cassadines, are you? Because if you are, let me tell you something. You 
gave up all rights to tell me who I can date when you decided to let me 
think you were dead for all these years.
Robert:No, that's not why we're here. You see, we found out something about 
Nikolas that you've got to know about.
Anna:Robin, Nikolas is our son. He's your brother.
Robin:(shakes her head in denial)No, that's not true. You're making this up.
Anna(grabs her by the arms and shakes her)Yes, it is true. When I gave birth 
to you, I gave birth to twins. A boy and a girl. But Helena Cassadine and 
Faison stole my son from me and I never knew I had a son until recently. 
Nikolas is that son.
Robert:Robin, we have to know. Have you slept with him. Have you had sex 
with your brother.
Robin:Is that why you're here? Is that why ou came to see me? To find out if 
I've slept with Nikolas. Well, the answer to your question is no. No, I 
didn't sleep with Nikolas. I couldn't. You see, while you two were off 
enjoying yourself I had unprotected sex with a boy who wasn't aware he had 
AIDS and I got exposed to the AIDS virus. I'm HIV Positive. Now that you got 
what you came for, why don't you both leave.

The Brownstone, Carly's Apartment:
Sonny(enters)So, how did it go with our friend, last night. I was worried 
about you until I heard you come back safely from the meeting.
Carly:Everything went fine. I met the man and he handed me an envelope full 
of cash and told me when he had another job for us to do he'd be in touch. I 
suppose you didn't follow him like we planned.
Sonny:How could I? You saw how upset Brenda was when she got home. I had to 
stay with her. I couldn't leave her alone when she was like that.
Carly:Yes, I saw how upset she was. What happened? Did she break a nail and 
did she need you to kiss it and make it all better for her. I can't wait 
until she's in labor to see how she reacts to that.
Sonny:As a matter of fact, Carly, Brenda had a good reason to be upset, last 
night. When you find out why she was upset, I dare say you're going to be 
just as upset, yourself.
Carly:All right, I'm all ears. Why was she so upset.
Sonny:She just found out Stefan Cassadine is her father.
Carly:What! That's not possible. Stefan Cassadine is my father, not hers.
Sonny:Which is why I've encouraged Brenda to find out why Stefan Cassadine 
believes she's his daughter. I think it's a little too coincidental that 
both you and Brenda are his daughters. In fact, I don't believe Brenda is 
his daughter, at all. But someone obviously wants Stefan Cassadine to 
believe it's true and I intend to find out why.
