"Please Don't Tell Him, Not Ever"

At the P.C.P.D.

Sonny: Where is she, Ric?

Ric: Oh. It seems Ms. McCall claims that the child she's carrying is yours which is immaterial to the murder conviction, of course, but I just thought maybe you'd like to see her before she gets extradited. Interrogation One. Congrats.

Alexis' apartment. Carly is at the door when Alexis answers it.

Alexis: What are you doing here?

Carly: I'm going to tell Sonny that he's Kristina’s father.

Carly: Sonny is Sam’s baby's father. He has told me the truth, and now he wants to start over.

Alexis: I'm very happy for both of you.

Carly: I need to be honest with him. I need to tell him about Kristina.

Alexis: No, you don’t.

Carly: Yes, I do, because if he finds out that I knew ahead of time and he learns about that --

Alexis: The only way that he's going to find out is if you tell him.

Carly: Yeah, exactly. That's why I need to. I need to be completely honest with him right now.

Alexis: Carly, if you tell him now, he'll know that you've known about this for months. He will take this as a betrayal. If you don't say anything to him, he'll be happy, you'll be happy, Kristina will be happy, I'll be happy. Everybody wins.

Carly: Unless he finds out some other way. Listen, I don't want to live with this secret anymore. I'm going to tell Sonny, and I'm going to take my chances.

Alexis: Carly, if you tell him, he'll file for custody. The media is going to find out about it. Kristina's name is going to be everywhere, and his enemies will use that against him!

Carly: Sonny will protect Kristina.

Alexis: I don't want her growing up surrounded by a bunch of thugs! I don't want her to grow up and be afraid! Please -- please, Carly. It will ruin her life. It will ruin mine.

Carly: If I don't tell him, my life is going to be ruined.

Alexis: You have two sons, you have a mother, you have a husband. I have Kristina. That's all that I have.

Carly: Look, I know. This is not my prob--

Alexis: And she needs me as much as Michael and Morgan need you, and I will not let anything or anyone hurt her -- not you and not Sonny -- not anyone, Carly. If you do this, you will provoke a terrible struggle without any solution. You're a mother. Mothers choose their children above anyone else. I'm begging you, please? Please don't tell him, not ever.

Alexis: (to Kristina) You want this cookie? Could I have want a bite? Can I have a bite? Can I have a bite? Ooh, yum-yum-yum-yum-yum-yum.

[Knock on door]

Alexis: You share with mommy?

Kristina: Could we, mommy?

Alexis: Yeah! Sure, we -- Sonny.

Sonny: I need to speak with you.

Alexis: About what?

Sonny: The mother of my child.
