Spinelli gets arrested and Sam follows him to the police station ready to protect him and make sure he does not speak without his lawyer. Jordan asks her why she has clearly put Mr. Spinelli up to hacking hospital main frame. Diane arrives on the seen after Sam has called her and asks the same, finding out that Sam is engaged to Patrick while she is taking drastic action in order to help Jake Doe, a man she barely knows, find out his true identity.She concludes to Sam it's clear that Sam may not be over Jason and not ready to move on with Patrick, whether Sam realizes it or not. Diane manages to get the cops to let Spinelli go but is worried that he, and Sam will stop at nothing in order to find out who Jake really is and it gives her grave concern and reason to discourage it, especially when she hasn't a clue as to what is actually at stake here. Jake privately meets with Sam on the docks and tells her that, given that he hasn't a clue who he really is, that he has to prepare to leave Elizabeth when he considers the possibility that she and the boys could be in danger if and when he finds that out. Sam assures him she "knows" he will not find out anything negative about himself nor anything that could hinder his future with Elizabeth. All the while neither of them have a clue that he is her "presumed" dead husband, Jason Morgan. Michael informs his parents that Sabrina is going to have his baby. They are "ok" with that and welcome her into the family. Sonny talks privately to Michael, telling him he thinks it's the "right thing to do" for his son to marry Sabrina. He knows not to have that conversation in the presence of Carly realizing she will object. As soon as she finds out what Sonny discussed with Michael, Carly firmly urges him to see Michael would be making a big mistake marrying Sabrina and she "won't let Michael do it" even though he's an adult and does not need her permissions. She protests to Sonny that although they like Sabrina and have no reason not to, Michael is not in love with her nor she-him and it would be a big mistake. Elizabeth walks in on little Jake revealing to big Jake that he knows Jake is his real father although he's been told by everyone that Jake is his stepfather whereas the "late" Jason Morgan was his real father. She clearly needs to prevent the two of them from having any more "private" conversations. She tells the boy he should not be listening in on mommy's private conversation with grandma as she urges him to believe he "did not know what he was hearing". Yet he is very certain he knows he heard that Jake Doe = Jason Morgan = his real father and that Mommy is lying to him and to Jake and to many others. Lulu is very determined to do whatever is needed in order to have another baby with Dante. While they go to the fertility doctor, however, he reveals that he does not think this is a good idea at this time although he does not reveal to her the reason why.
Spinelli: There truly has been a most grievous error, Commissioner. Whatever glitch may have developed in the General Hospital mainframe, I assure you, it's none of my doing. Sam: Spinelli, not one more word. Jordan: So, he has an off button? Sam: He has a right to remain silent, and I'm here to make sure he exercises that right. Spinelli: Many thanks. Sam: Of course. Jordan: Ms. Morgan, what are you doing here? Sam: I'm a concerned friend, and I don't want Spinelli to say another word without the benefits of an attorney. Spinelli: Oh. Sam: What is it? Spinelli: Um, I appreciate your noble efforts, fair Samantha, but I currently do not have legal representation. Diane: Oh, of course, you do. Spinelli: Brusque lady of justice! Oh, your arrival is most timely. But how did you know I was in distress? Diane: Because ms. Morgan is very good at taking care of her friends. [SCENE_BREAK] Jake: But you are my real daddy. I know it! Jason: Okay. Look, buddy, I am honored that you call me your daddy. And I cannot wait to be your stepdad as soon as I marry your mom. But let's not forget, Lucky was your stepdad. And you never forget Jason was your real father. Jake: No! That's not true. You're my father! [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: We're lucky that Dr. Lee could fit us in to discuss the details of the implantation. Probably gonna need to go through at least one round of hormones before the embryo can be transferred. Dante: I just wish we could have a child by loving each other, not having to jump through all these hoops. Lulu: I know. Dante: I mean, I don't know why I'm complaining. You're the one that has to do all the work. Lulu: I think that would be the case even if we made this baby by loving each other. It's kind on the mom to carry the child. And I can't wait to get started. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Mom, Dad, we, uh, we have some pretty big news. We're having a baby. Carly: A baby? Michael: Yeah, I know. I know you're surprised. Sonny: Well, you haven't really been seeing each other that long. Michael: Well, long enough, apparently. Carly: [Chuckles] Michael: It's true the pregnancy was a surprise, you know, but it's the best news I've ever gotten in my life. Sonny: Well, you got to savor the moment and every moment after that. 'Cause being a father is the most important thing in your life. Carly: And nothing will ever be more important in my life than being your mother, Michael. Sonny: Your mom's right. I was being a little chauvinistic. Because there's no stronger bond than a mother and a child. But I can't really give you advice in that area, of course. Sabrina: Oh. [Chuckles] No, I'm not at all offended. It's a lot to take in. Michael: Sabrina was a little nervous about us telling you she was pregnant. Um...but I knew you both would be really thrilled. I mean, this is a huge milestone in my life. I mean, I'm gonna be a father, you know? I'm still getting used to the idea myself. But I wanted you two to know right away. Not only because it would lift your spirits, Dad. I know I could -- need to benefit from your wisdom. Sonny: Wisdom? I don't know about that. I can only speak from my own experience. Fatherhood changed my life. When your mother, you know, made you my son, my whole focus changed -- my ambition, my desire to build a lasting life. 'Cause up till then, it was all about power and owning what was mine. When I became your father, it was about protecting you and giving you the life that you deserved. You know, life became bigger than myself. 'Cause the only thing really that mattered was you, your brothers, and your sisters. And there's nothing, nothing matters more to me than my children. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: I'm gonna do everything I can to support you and your pregnancy. I know you'll be doing all the heavy lifting -- Lulu: Whoa, I'm sorry. Are you starting the fat jokes already? Dante: No. Lulu: [Laughs] Dante: No, I wasn't, actually. I can't think of a more beautiful sight in the world than you pregnant, carrying our child. I just want you to know I'll be there every step of the way. Lulu: Thank you. And I promise that won't be too demanding. I know that police work is gonna take up a lot of your time. How does it go? Crime before cravings, right? Dante: Uh... Lulu: [Laughs] Dante: Look, I'll take a desk reassignment if I have to. Lulu: What? Okay, that thought hadn't even crossed my mind. You love working in the field. Dante: Yeah, but I love my family more. Last few months, I've re-evaluated my priorities. There was a PD before I got here, and there will be one after I leave, if I were to leave. My family is irreplaceable -- you, Rocco, our baby- to-be. Dr. Lee: Lulu? Dante? Lulu: Hi. Dr. Lee: Hi. Dante: Hi. Dr. Lee: It's good to see you. Lulu: We're here to get pregnant. Dr. Lee: I've pulled your file. We have a lot to discuss. [SCENE_BREAK] Diane: Commissioner, I am going to require a room in which to interview my client. Jordan: Your client hasn't been processed yet. Diane: Processing is going to be a waste of departmental time and resources, since he's innocent and will not undoubtedly be released. Jordan: Ms. Miller, I don't think you have all the facts. Dr. Obrecht informed my cyber-crime division that the General Hospital mainframe was breached earlier today. And they traced it directly to Mr. Spinelli. He's in criminal violation of multiple state and federal regulations and could be charged for -- Spinelli: I-I'm sorry. Did -- federal? As in the full power of the government of the United States? Jordan: Oh, yes, that's right. This matter could be referred to the NSA. Diane: Commissioner, I'm still gonna need that room to interview my client... and the private detective working the case. Jordan: So, now you're here as an investigator. What happened to "concerned friend?" Sam: Oh, I'm both. Jordan: Oh, right. Okay. You can wait for Mr. Spinelli in the interrogation room. And Mr. Spinelli will be released right after he's been processed, okay? Right this way. Spinelli: An escort from the commissioner herself? Jordan: Your reputation precedes you... Jackal. Diane: Spinelli... not a word without me present. What the hell happened? They traced the breach directly to Spinelli? What on earth is he looking for in the hospital's computer? [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: I get it. You have gone through a lot of changes in the last few months. But what's important to remember is that we're all gonna be a family, okay? Your mother, Cam, Aiden, you, me. I am gonna be your father as soon as I marry your mother. Jake: No! You're my father now. Elizabeth: Uh... can you go get some of those cookies we love so much? Jason: Absolutely. Let's get some cookies. I'll be right back. Elizabeth: I'm gonna try to explain this again. Jason: Okay. Elizabeth: Thanks. Jason: [Sighs] Jake: Am I in trouble? Elizabeth: No! No. You know Jake loves you just like he loves Cameron and Aiden. Jake: But he's my father! Elizabeth: Baby, we've talked about this. When Jake and I get married, yeah, he's gonna be your stepdad. Jake: That's not what you told Grandma. Elizabeth: Honey, what are you talking about? Jake: You told Grandma that I needed my mother and father, and I have them. Elizabeth: Wait, you were listening to our conversation? Jake: Yes. You said Jake is my father. Jason: Okey-dokey, special delivery. Your favorite cookies, Mom's favorite milk. Elizabeth: Awesome. [Chuckles] Jason: How we doing? Elizabeth: Um, I'm gonna get him settled upstairs, and then we need to talk, okay? Jason: Sure. Hey, you know what, buddy? I was just thinking that, uh... look, families, they come in all shapes and sizes. They come in all sorts of packages. The important thing to remember is that I love you. And it's very important to me that I make sure that I do right by you, I do right by your brothers, I do right by your mom, okay? I love you. Elizabeth: Come on, Jakey. Jason: [Chuckles] [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: We hit a dead end trying to discover Jake's identity, so we thought maybe we could find something in his medical records. Diane: Well, that's fascinating, but I have to wonder why you, and by extension, Spinelli, are going to all of this trouble for a man you only met a year ago. Sam: I know, Diane. Listen, the Cassadines put Jake through a horrible ordeal. And I think Nikolas knows more than what he's saying about who Jake really is. And since I'm a Cassadine -- Diane: So, you feel obligated to make amends to Jake Doe on behalf of your family? Sam: I mean, it's part of it, yes. He's also become a really good friend of mine. And I know what's it's like. I know what it's like to have no family, no one to lean on. And it's a really hard way to live. Jake's whole life before the accident is a complete blank, and I just -- Diane: Hold up, hold up. Is that an engagement ring? Sam: [Exhales sharply] Yes, Diane. Patrick and I are getting married. Diane: Well, you'll forgive me, but do you think that's wise? [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Lee: Prior to the implantation, estrogen and progesterone injections are given every third day for up to three weeks. You also come in for ultrasounds to evaluate the effectiveness of the hormones. Lulu: I'm fully prepared to do all of that. Dr. Lee: Okay, and then after the three-week preparation, it's time to thaw the frozen embryo and transfer it to the hopeful mother. Thawing takes very little time, about an hour. Dante: Wow, that's amazing. So then we're good to go? Dr. Lee: You need to be aware that not all embryos are viable after thawing. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I can't wait for the first ultrasound. I mean, I don't know if we can tell at this point if it's a boy or a girl. Sabrina: Uh, I think a lot depends on the position of the baby during the scan. Michael: Yeah, I'm not sure if I want to know. Do you want to know? Sabrina: Uh, I-I haven't really thought about it yet. Michael: See, the good thing about knowing ahead of time if it's a boy or a girl is you can start making the necessary preparations, you know, start to paint the nursery. Carly: You have a lot of time before you even need to start thinking about a nursery. Michael: Yeah, I know, but I just -- I feel like I should do something now. My mind is racing with all the possibilities, you know, everything the baby's gonna need, a whole new life to get ready for, you know? You know, our lives are gonna change completely in a matter of months. Carly: They don't have to change, like, right now. You have tons of time, you do, to, like, let the reality set in and think about it. Sonny: Sabrina, you've obviously made Michael happy, made me happy, and Carly. Um...a child is an unexpected gift. We're gonna welcome that child into our family with all our hearts. Sabrina: Thank you so much, Mr. Corinthos. That's very -- Sonny: Call me Sonny. Now that, you know -- you're part of the family now, right? Carly: You know what? Um, Sonny has had a very eventful morning, and he needs to have some time to relax. Sabrina: Oh, of course. Yeah, I'm so sorry. We really don't want to tire you out. Come on, we should -- Michael: Yeah, we'll head out. Sonny: No, no, no, don't let your mother chase you away. Can you give me a minute with Michael -- Carly: You're supposed to be resting. Sonny: Yeah, but it's not like I'm running a marathon. Michael: Is that okay? Sabrina: Yeah, yeah. No, of course. Okay, yeah, we'll be right outside. Carly: Okay. [Door closes] Michael: What's up? Sonny: Uh, it's not like I'm gonna tell you what to do, okay? You're old enough. I just want to give you some advice. Michael: Yeah. Sonny: Sabrina's pregnant, right? Michael: Yeah. Sonny: You got to marry her. [SCENE_BREAK] Sam: Patrick and I are very much in love. We've been living together for months, our children have bonded, we've become a family. This isn't rushed. It's a very carefully considered decision. Diane: Maybe that's the part that's throwing me, is your sensibility of it all. Sam: Excuse me? Diane: Sam [Chuckles] I had a front-row seat for your relationship with Jason. I saw the danger, the risks, the highs, the lows, the astonishing mistakes by both of you. Any sane woman would have run screaming from Jason's violent and complicated life, but you seemed to thrive on it. Now, I have the utmost respect for Dr. Patrick Drake, but he strikes me as an entirely different sort of man than Jason. Sam: Diane... Jason is dead, and I have grieved. I have. But I have to move on with my life. Diane: Well, absolutely. Of course, you do. But does this "moving on" mean giving up the part of yourself that loved adventure? Okay, well, maybe now I understand why you are willing to go so far to help a virtual stranger like Jake Doe. Because he takes you back to the person that you used to be with Jason. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: How's he doing? Elizabeth: Well, right now, I've let him play video games, so he's just fine. Jason: Okay. Okay, well, you know, that was kind of crazy, right? I mean, the way he kept calling me Dad. He's an adamant child. Elizabeth: Uh, obviously, he's struggling a little more than I realized. And it has nothing to do with you, okay? It's the whole situation. Jason: I know. It's just... Elizabeth: You know, Laura suggested he see a therapist, so I guess I will call Dr. Collins and ask for a referral. Jason: Well, honey, I think you're a good mother, and you should do whatever you think is best for your son. Elizabeth: Maybe he just needs a little more one-on-one time, so I talk through this whole father thing. Jason: Yeah. [Sighs] I don't know if should leave, though. I don't know if I could handle it if he thinks I'm abandoning him. Elizabeth: He won't. I mean, we can't be here 24/7, and he knows that. Jason: That's true. You know, as it happens, I have something that I need to take care of, so... Elizabeth: Okay. Jason: But if you need me, I'm a phone call away. Elizabeth: I know. Jason: I'm fast. Elizabeth: I know. Jason: Mm. I love you. Elizabeth: I love you. Okay, go. Jason: Yes, ma'am. [Clears throat] [Cell phone rings] Sam: Hey. Jason: Hey, you got a minute? I need to see you. Sam: Um... yeah, uh, I have an update for you, as well. Why don't we meet on Pier 54 in like 10 minutes? Jason: Absolutely. Sam: Okay. Can you take care of Spinelli, and I'll meet up with you later? Diane: Absolutely. Hey, Sam, you know, I've never had the pleasure of meeting Jake Doe. But nonetheless, give him my regards, won't you? [SCENE_BREAK] Dr. Lee: Normally, success rates for in vitro depend on two factors -- the age of the mother and the number of eggs retrieved and fertilized. However, given your history, if there were 10 embryos, the odds of a successful pregnancy would be 65%. Dante: But that's not what we're dealing with. Dr. Lee: No. In your situation, with only a single embryo, the odds are much steeper. Lulu: Well, I don't care about statistics. Dante: I think we need to just hear so we know what we're taking on here. Dr. Lee: With only one embryo, there is a 16% chance of success. Dante: Okay, so, let me get this straight. So Lulu could go through weeks of injections getting ready for implantation, and then the embryo could not thaw properly? Dr. Lee: Yes. Dante: And then, okay, if it does and the embryo is okay... ...we have a one in five chance of having a successful pregnancy? Dr. Lee: Yes. I'm sure you want to discuss this. Dante: Yeah. Uh, thanks, Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee: Take your time. Lulu: [Sniffles] We've already decided. [Clears throat] We're gonna have a second child. Dante: Maybe we shouldn't. [SCENE_BREAK] Sabrina: Thank you for being so supportive. I know that when you woke up this morning, you weren't expecting news like this. Carly: Well, I guess a surprise pregnancy is a surprise for everybody. [Chuckles] You know, if I could give you both some advice, just take some time, you know? Think about it. Don't rush into anything. Michael: Hey. Sorry to keep you waiting. Sabrina: Oh, that's okay. Michael: So, Mom, are you okay? You haven't said much. Carly: [Voice breaking] You're my firstborn, you know? And that's a bond like no other. I can only pray that your child brings you as much joy as you bring me. Michael: Thanks, Mom. Carly: Yes. [Chuckles] Michael: Um, Sabrina and I got to get going. We, uh... we have a lot to talk about. Carly: I'm sure you do. Michael: All right. [Door opens] Sonny: That's the last thing I thought I was gonna hear today -- that Michael's a father. Carly: It wasn't on my radar. Sonny: Well, you know, I am happy for him. Carly: What did you want to talk to Michael about? Sonny: Just to tell him something, give him advice. Carly: Advice about what? Sonny: That he should marry Sabrina. Carly: What?! No! Hell no! There is no damn way our son is marrying Sabrina. Sonny: What are you talking about? She's carrying Michael's child. Carly: So what? You didn't feel obligated to marry every woman you got pregnant! Sonny: This isn't about me. This is about Michael. And from what I understand, Sabrina is a nurse, kind, compassionate, good woman. Carly: Michael doesn't love her! Sonny: You didn't hear that from Michael. Carly: Oh, God! I know, okay. I know. Sonny: Did you tell him? Carly: No! Of course I didn't tell him, Sonny. Michael didn't speak to me for months. I'm not gonna alienate my son because I comment on his relationship with Sabrina. But now that she's pregnant, I don't know how I can stay silent. Sonny: Well, you should stay silent, because when you're on the outside, you don't know what's going on in a relationship. Carly: I know my son, okay? And I've seen him in love. And that is not how he feels for Sabrina. And she doesn't feel that way for him, either. Sonny: And how the hell would you know that? Carly: Because, Sonny, Sabrina was engaged to Patrick, okay? She was literally left at the altar when Robin came back. Sonny: Right. Carly: Then she lost her baby in that horrible accident. That is the worst pain a mother can feel. She had nothing and no one when Michael hired her to be Avery's nanny. And what about Michael? He felt betrayed by everyone he loved. Come on, Sonny, it's the oldest story in the book. Michael and Sabrina were consoling each other. That's it. Sonny: Maybe it started that way. You ever thought of that? Carly: Okay, but consolation is not the foundation for a marriage, okay? You have to love each other like crazy. You have to walk through the fire together. You have to be able to go to hell and back. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: We already decided that we want to have a second child, and this is the only way we can do it. Dante: Just hear me out, okay? Lulu: No, I don't want to hear the statistics. I know myself. I know that I can do this. Dante: Look, think about what you're doing, okay? Three weeks of injections, pain, an emotional roller coaster ride, and all the while, knowing at the end when this embryo's thawed, it might not be any good. And if it is, we still don't have a great shot at having a successful pregnancy. That's a lot of stuff to go through to have a devastating loss in the end. Lulu: You don't think I can give you a child. Dante: No, that is not what I'm saying at all. Lulu: So, what are you saying? That you want to use a surrogate again? Dante: No, no. This is what I'm talking about. I don't want you blaming yourself if it doesn't work. Lulu: Like you said, the mom does all the work. Dante: Those statistics mean it's difficult for anyone to conceive a child under these circumstances. It is not a reflection on you if the pregnancy doesn't take. Okay, but I know you, and I know you're gonna feel like you failed if it doesn't work. I don't want you to suffer like that. Okay, look, I'm all for having a second child. But I'm just reconsidering a little bit. We're pretty blessed, baby. Okay? We have Rocco. Lulu: [Sniffles] Dante: We have each other. We're happy. Maybe we should count our blessings and... and be done with it. [SCENE_BREAK] Diane: Well, you'll let me know when you get confirmation, yes? Thank you. Jordan: Your client's been processed. You're free to interview him. Diane: Commissioner, you might want to check your messages. You should be getting a call from Judge Cole shortly. Jordan: I can't wait. [Door closes] Spinelli: Can I take that to mean that my legal difficulties may soon be over? Diane: That remains to be seen, since you are obviously guilty. How could you let yourself get caught? Spinelli: Dr. Obrecht appears to have adopted state-of-the-art cyber security in my absence from Port Charles, a very admirable display of paranoia that I wasn't -- Diane: Then why take the risk? Spinelli: [Sighs] Because it is vital, nay, imperative, that we discover Jake Doe's true identity. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: So, I want to talk to you about what you heard when Grandma and I were talking. How long were you listening? Jake: I don't know. Elizabeth: Okay, um... well, we were having a grown-up conversation about things that you really wouldn't understand. That's why it's never a good idea to listen in on someone's conversation, right? But if you have questions about what you heard, I want you to come to me. I want you to ask me. Not Jake. Because Jake wasn't there, and he wouldn't understand, either. Jake: But you said I have my mother and father, and my father is Jake. Doesn't he know he's my father? Elizabeth: Um... it's -- it's complicated. But it doesn't really matter, because we're gonna be a family. In a few weeks, Jake and I are gonna get married. And then, yes, he's gonna be your father in every way. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Thanks for meeting me. Sam: Yeah, of course. What's up? Jason: [Sighs] I wanted to apologize for the way I acted the other day. When that file that Spinelli found turned out to erased, I sort of erupted, and you took the blunt of it. I am sorry. Sam: It's okay. I totally understand your frustration. Jason: Let me do this, okay? [Sighs] That DNA test that Nikolas ran on me, that was our only lead. And when it turned out to be a dead end, well, I really lost my temper, and I took it out on you and Spinelli. And you guys are just trying to help me. And I'm really very, very sorry. I also, uh... I still need your help. Sam: What's up? Jason: Well, Elizabeth insisted that my past doesn't matter to her. She even asked me to let it go, for her sake. But I keep thinking about it, and I can't do it. Sam: You can't? Did something happen? Jason: I was just at Elizabeth's house, and her son, Jake, he insists that I'm his father. Sam: Okay, well, you will be one day. Jason: Yeah, well, he's adamant that I already am. Even called me "Daddy." And I tried to explain to him the concept of being a stepfather, and I realized it doesn't matter to him. He's invested in me. He wants to believe that I'm always gonna be there. And Elizabeth, her boys, they believe in me. They're building a life around me. What if I'm the worst thing that could ever happen to them? Sam: Hold on a second. From what I've seen, you've been nothing but good for Elizabeth and her boys. Jason: Yeah. I recently killed three men. Sam: Because they were about to kill Sonny or you. It's not like you went in there and picked off three men. Jason: Point is I didn't hesitate, didn't have remorse. Sam: You seem pretty remorseful right now. Jason: No, I'm not sad that those men are dead. But I have to admit that my actions, they reveal who I am. My past, I can't discount that. Sam: You know what? I've been around a lot of shady characters in my past, and I've got to tell you, I don't get that vibe from you. With you, I see a good man whose instinct is to protect people. Jason: Thank you. But I need to be sure that Elizabeth and her boys are safe around me. Sam: Okay, well, then it's a good thing that Spinelli and I ignored your wishes and kept digging. Jason: What? Sam: Yeah, I figured that once you calmed down, you would realize that if you didn't pursue your past, it would always haunt you. So, here we are. Jason: Did you find something? Sam: Uh, we hit a little snag. Jason: How little of a snag? Sam: Spinelli's currently in lockup, because he broke into General Hospital's database looking for your medical records. Jason: Aah! Sam: No, no, no, no. Don't you worry about it. Diane Miller is on it. I'm sure Spinelli's out as we speak. Jason: [Sighs] Last thing I wanted was for you or Spinelli to get hurt by this. Sam: Thank you. But I am confident that once the dust settles, Spinelli's gonna be able to find out the truth about you. And then you are gonna be able to marry Elizabeth as planned. Jason: If the truth is as bad as I think it is, then I am prepared to walk away from Elizabeth. [SCENE_BREAK] Lulu: Everything that you're saying makes sense, but all the odds and statistics in the world can't change what's in my heart. I want us to have the family that we're supposed to have. Dante: Maybe we already do. Maybe it's only supposed to be you, me, and Rocco. Lulu: And you know what? Then I will be happy with my two best guys. But we won't know for sure unless we try the in vitro. And we missed out on so much with Rocco. And I know that we got our miracle in the end and that he is this healthy, perfect little boy. And I don't regret anything that happened. I don't, because it gave us Rocco. I just want a chance to carry our child. I want to feel a baby growing inside of me, and we love each other so much. I just want us to have a chance to bring a baby into the world together. Please tell me that you want that, too. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Not every marriage has to be like ours -- constant fireworks, frequent shouting matches. Half the time, we're fighting. Half the time, we're making up. Carly: Okay. You know, I get not every couple is as strong-willed as we are. But, you know, the couples who last are the ones who understand each other and the ones who trust each other when their backs are up against the wall. Sonny: Well, Michael and Sabrina, they could have that in time. Carly: [Scoffs] I don't think so. I don't think Sabrina has the slightest idea who Michael really is. She doesn't know what drives Michael. She doesn't understand that his family is the most important thing to him. And, you know, Michael has a bad temper sometimes. She should think about that. Sonny: Well, look, Sabrina has been with him through some low points. She stood by him when Kiki and Morgan drugged him. Carly: But she doesn't have passion for him, okay? They don't have passion, and Michael deserves that, Sonny. He does. He should have the highs and lows. I mean, maybe not the screaming matches, but he should have the love that we have. He should. He should have a life partner, someone loves him for better and for worse. Not someone who's just taking him as some kind of consolation prize. Sonny: You think that's all Michael is to Sabrina? Carly: Not consciously, Sonny, but she doesn't know him. If she weren't pregnant, would you be telling Michael to marry Sabrina? Sonny: I don't know. But babies change things. Carly: Yeah, and Michael can be a father to that child without marrying Sabrina. Sonny: How come I never heard you say anything bad about Sabrina before? Carly: She's a lovely girl. She's fine. A fine young lady for Michael to date, okay? But this is the point -- not to marry. They can comfort each other all day long, but there is no way in hell I am letting him marry her. Sonny: Except... it's not up to you. [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: Man, I cannot believe that next spring, we're gonna bring our own child to this terrace. Sabrina: [Sighs] Michael, you're being so wonderful. Michael: Why, because I'm gonna let our child watch the ducks? Sabrina: Because I threw this huge news at you, and you just -- you embraced it. There aren't a lot of men who'd be so warm and supportive about an unplanned pregnancy. Michael: Well, to be honest, you know, I haven't really given much thought to being a father. You know, I knew that was some sort of a vague idea for the future, but... and there's nothing vague about this baby. Our child is here inside of you. And we're gonna do everything we can to make sure that he or she has the very best life. Sabrina: Yeah, I want that, too. I'd do anything for this baby. Michael: I was hoping you'd say that. [SCENE_BREAK] Sonny: Everything's going to be fine. Carly: It is? Sonny: Yeah. Look... Carly: Thank you so much. [Sighs] Sonny: Michael's gonna do whatever he thinks is right. And let's face it. His track record is a lot better in doing what's right than us. Carly: Maybe I should have been more honest about, you know, my concerns. Sonny: Nothing you say would sway him one way or the other. Underneath that, you know, sweet, kind exterior, he's very stubborn, like you. Carly: You think he gets his stubbornness from me? He gets it from you. Sonny: Okay, both of us. Carly: [Laughs] Oh, God. Heaven help that kid, huh? Sonny: [Chuckles] [Grunts] Remember when he was a boy, and we bought him that bike that was too big for him, and he had to ride it? And we said no? How many times did he fall? Carly: [Laughing] Oh, my gosh. You wanted to pad the driveway. Sonny: Really? Carly: [Laughs] Yes. Sonny: Oh, okay. I was just so proud of his determination, but I was just tired of those knees that were like scabs. Carly: Raw. [Sighs] Michael's gonna be teaching his own kid how to ride a bike in a couple years. Sonny: And you know what's the most beautiful thing of the whole, is that you're gonna be a grandmother. Carly: Oh! [Laughing] Oh, my God. Sonny: [Laughs] Ahhh. Carly: [Sighs] [SCENE_BREAK] Michael: I had an intense childhood. But I never doubted how much my parents loved me. And I want our child to have that same sense of love without all the chaos. Sabrina: [Sighs] Michael: I want the three of us to be a family, you know, you, me, and the baby. Um, here. Um, have a seat. [Exhales deeply] I know this is very sudden. I mean, I don't even have a ring yet or anything. And I'm sure you know what I'm asking here, Sabrina. Will you do me the honor of marrying me? Sabrina: Oh, Michael. The honor would be mine. You are the best man that I know. But I can't marry you. [SCENE_BREAK] Dante: I want nothing more than to have another child with you. But... Lulu: No buts. No, no. No dwelling on fear and everything that can go wrong, okay? No one ever got anything they wanted by being too afraid to try. Dante: I don't want to see you get hurt. Lulu: Whatever comes, we'll handle together, okay? And I am certain that we can beat the odds. I know that by this time next year, we will have a second child. Dante: You're sure? Lulu: We can handle anything, right? Dante: Right. Lulu: So, is that a yes? Dante: Yes, it's a yes. I love you. Lulu: I love you, too. Mm! And this is perfect timing. I am gonna get the Halloween fundraiser out of the way, and then I can focus on getting ready to carry our child. Let's tell Dr. Lee that we will start the day after Halloween. Dante: Okay. Lulu: Okay. [SCENE_BREAK] Diane: Ah, Commish. Is there any news? Jordan: Mr. Spinelli, you're free to go. But breach of privacy and theft of medical information are both very serious crimes. There better not be a next time. Diane: This warning is wasted since my client is innocent. Jordan: And if you so much even go near the hospital mainframe, my first call will be to the NSA. Not even your well-connected lawyer will be able to save you. [Door closes] Spinelli: Once again, my friend and goddess of the legal arts, you have saved my humble self. Many thanks for your assistance. [Laughs] Diane: Save it. Clearly, your skills are not what they once were. So do yourself a favor -- no more illegal hacking. Spinelli: I assure you I've learned my lesson, and I will adhere to the letter of the law... just as soon as I uncover the truth about Jake Doe's identity. [SCENE_BREAK] Elizabeth: I can't imagine how confusing this must be for you. A new home, a new family. Even I'm confused. But I realized it's not wrong to be happy. And we are gonna be happy. As soon as Jake and I get married, we're gonna be a family. The life Jake had before he came into our lives is in the past. All that matters now is our future. [SCENE_BREAK] Jason: Elizabeth wants to believe the man I used to be doesn't matter. Hell, I wanted to believe that myself, but there's just too much I don't know -- the crimes that I might have committed. I can't put Elizabeth or her sons in any danger. Sam: Okay, look, Spinelli is the best. He's gonna uncover the truth about who you really are. And once he does, you're gonna realize that you're not this bad guy you believe yourself to be. Jason: What makes you so sure about that? Sam: Because a guy without a conscience wouldn't be going through all this trouble to figure out his past. He would be hiding from it. And the fact that you have the courage to keep going and try to figure out who you are, it says a lot about you. I don't even know your real name, and I believe this. Jason: I wish I shared your faith. Sam: Well, why don't you have faith in this much. By the time you marry Elizabeth, you're gonna know who you really are. [NEXT_ON] Michael (to Sabrina): Why don't you want to marry me? Maxie (to Dillon): I will tear it up if you don't tell me what you know. Olivia (to Lulu & Dante): Will you be Leo's godparents? Julian (to Alexis): I'm sorry for doing this to you. Anna: Why are you here? Paul: Carlos Rivera. Nikolas: How could you do this to me, Sam?
