Chapter 30: Plans Change
Henry watched as Tony and Carly ate their meal, totally frustrated. This was
the same woman he knew about three years ago who was now gulping down
Thanksgiving dinner, pregnant with some guy's baby who's twice her age with an
assumed name.
His thoughts were interrupted by Lizzie.
Lizzie: Weird, huh?
Henry: What?
Lizzie: Those two.
Henry looked at Lizzie and the Carly and then back to Lizzie.
Henry: You know those two?
Lizzie: Well, not directly. That old dude used to be married to Lucky's Aunt
Bobbie.
Henry: What do you know about them?
Lizzie: Well, from what I've heard, apparently last year Bobbie went to find Dr.
Jones on their wedding anniversary and who did she find? Carly Roberts and Dr.
Tony Jones having sex in this fishing cabin.
Henry: Okay… What do you know about Ms. Roberts?
Lizzie: I don't really know anything about her. Just that she came to town a
year ago.
Henry: Okay, so she comes to town and has an affair with Mr. Jones?
Lizzie: Well, apparently Carly and Bobbie were actually friends for awhile…
Exactly why do you want to know so much about Carly anyway?
Henry: Oh, just curiosity.
Lizzie: Is your mom going to pick up?
Henry: No, I'm gonna walk.
Henry looks through the glass on the door.
Henry: I hope she drives carefully, looks like it's starting to get pretty bad
out.
Lizzie: I heard on the radio earlier that there might be a blizzard.
Henry: Oh great, one of the biggest days of the year and there's gonna be a bad
storm. Perfect.

Alexis: Are you sure your family will appreciate me coming for Thanksgiving?
Ned looked at Alexis and smiled.
Ned: Who said anything about going to the mansion?
Alexis: You did… Wait, we're not going to the mansion? Where then?
Ned: You'll just have to wait and see.
~^~
Tony's pager beeped and Carly looked in curiosity.
Tony: It's the hospital.
Carly: You have to leave?
Tony: It's an emergency. Just have this stuff wrapped up, I'll eat it when I
get home.
Carly: When will that be?
Tony: I'll be there when I get there, okay? Now I have a patient to take care
of.
Carly: You don't have to be so cruel about.
Tony: Oh I'm sorry Carly. Would you rather I do something as subtle as get
drunk, sleep with some stranger and get her pregnant? That's what you and AJ
did.
Carly: I made a mistake, I wish you'd understand that.
Tony: I understood that somebody made a mistake. I have to go to work.
Tony got up and left. Carly threw down her French fry and decided to ask for
the bill. But before she could, Henry sat down across from her.
Henry: Hello, Caroline.
Carly: Henry... What do you want?
Henry: Some answers, like what the hell is going on here?
Carly: Why do you care?
Henry: Just call it curiosity.
Carly shrugged.
Henry: Look, I obviously have one simple bit of information that could ruin you.
Now, could you please tell me the whole story, or should I ask Tony?
Carly: I can't believe this, you'd do something like that?
Henry: Try me?
Carly: Look, just please. Don't tell anyone about me.
Henry: Why shouldn't I?
Carly: Henry, I'll admit it. You have information that could destroy everything
good in my life. I beg of you, please don't.
Henry: Okay, fine. I'll keep quiet. So I hear your fiancé is a doctor. What
does he do, exactly?
Carly: He's a neurosurgeon, as if it's any of your business.
Henry: My, my Caroline, that's no way to talk to… wait, neurosurgeon?
Carly: Yeah, neurosurgeon.
Henry: For Mercy, right?
Carly: No, why?
Henry: What, did you forget?
Carly: Forget what?
Henry: My mother is a neurosurgeon, too. She's working at G.H.
Carly: Oh my God…
Henry: Well this makes things rather interesting, doesn't it? I mean, just
imagine. Tony invites his fellow colleague over for dinner or maybe he bumps
into her at that Nurse's Ball thing in June. What do you plan to do?
Carly: Well, your mother probably doesn't even remember me.
Henry: Caroline, we were neighbors. She has a great memory, if I can remember
you, she certainly could too.
Carly: Oh my God.
Henry stands up.
Henry: Sally Corinthos. Remember the name, you might want to find out if Doc
knows her or not.
Carly: Wait, your not going to tell anyone, are you?
Henry: I told you. My lips are sealed.
Henry went back to the counter and Carly was scared out of her mind. She was
already on rocky ground with Tony. If Sally Corinthos was hanging around, how
was she going to survive this one?
Henry walked up to the counter where Lizzie was working.
Lizzie: What were you talking with her for?
Henry: No special reason. Tell Ruby I'm taking off now. See you.
Lizzie: Bye.
~^~
Bobbie threw her stuff on the floor as soon as they entered the room.
Stefan: Barbara, I'm sorry. I don't know how they could have made such a
mistake. I specifically asked for two rooms.
Bobbie: It's okay, we can work this out.
Bobbie puts her stuff at the foot of the bed and looks to Stefan.
Bobbie: You can take the floor and I'll sleep on the bed.
Stefan puts his suitcase on the floor.
Stefan: Excuse me? Why should you get the bed?
Bobbie: Why shouldn't I?
Stefan: Well I certainly am not going to sleep on the floor.
Bobbie: Fine, go sleep in the lobby.
Stefan: In the lobby? Certainly not!
Bobbie: Well your rich, get another room.
Stefan: I already checked, this is the last place available.
Bobbie: So what do you want to do, share the bed?
Stefan: All right. There is no reason why we can not be gracious about this. I
will sleep on the floor.
Bobbie: Good. So we have two days. What do we do until then?
Stefan: Well… we could go out celebrate Thanksgiving together.
Bobbie took a second to think about this. This was her soon to be ex-husband.
Then there was no one else there she knew, why not celebrate with him?
Bobbie: Okay, I would love to go out with you.
~^~
Brenda nearly fainted when she looked at it.
Brenda: Blue.
She double-checked the package to make sure it meant she was pregnant. It did.
Brenda: Oh my God… I don't believe it.
Brenda smiles and started jumping with excitement. She rushed down to the
living room and picked up the phone and dialed for the hospital. She wanted to
be sure she was pregnant before she talked to Sonny. She was so excited, she
couldn't wait to tell him.
She didn't realize someone was watching her through the window.
~^~
Ned: God, I can hardly see a thing.
Alexis: I'll turn the radio on.
Alexis turned the radio on and when the weather came on it was not good news.
Ned: Dammit, I should have known to check the forecast this morning.
Alexis: Where were you going to take me?
Ned: Just this excluded cabin for a nice romantic dinner, but we can't go now.
Might as well go to the mansion.
Ned looked at her.
Ned: I'm sorry about…
Alexis: Ned, look out!
Ned looks at the road and saw someone running in front of them. His foot hit
the brakes but it was too late.
