CHAPTER SIXTY-SEVEN

BOBBIE’S ROOM, GENERAL HOSPITAL:

Bobbie: What happened out there?

Stefan: Caroline told me I should find myself another kidney because the deal I made with you was off. Just what did you say to her?

Bobbie: I thought you told her everything. That I was planning to use the knowledge that she was your daughter and could be a kidney donor for you to get you to let Roy out of jail. She must think you made a deal with me for her kidney. I’ll go to her and explain everything to her.

Stefan: How could you be so stupid as to reveal that to her.

Bobbie: You’re the one who threatened to tell Carly that if I didn’t tell her the truth. How was I supposed to know you hadn‘t followed through with your threat. I’m surprised you didn’t. I’m sure you’d love nothing better than to completely ruin my relationship with my daughter.

Stefan: Don’t try to blame the state of your relationship with our daughter on me. You ruined your relationship with Caroline all on your own by putting the needs of your libido over your motherly instincts.

Bobbie: If this is anyone’s fault, it’s yours. I left you a message on your answering machine asking you not to tell her anything and to give me a little more time to tell her, but you had to just go ahead and tell her anyway, didn’t you? You just couldn’t wait.

Stefan: I didn’t get any message from you. You see, I’ve been at the hospital sitting by your bedside since I saved your miserable life. I should have done us both a favor and let the Sex Toy Stalker ram that dildo down your throat.

Bobbie(suddenly remembered the events that led her to be laying in the hospital bed she was now occupying)My god, I’d forgotten all about that. I was on the phone leaving a message for you about Carly when I had this weird feeling I was being watched. When I turned around Chloe Morgan was standing there. My god, Chloe Morgan is the Sex Toy Stalker. I can’t believe it.

Stefan: She isn’t, but we’ll deal with that later. Let’s get back to the matter at hand.

Bobbie; What do you mean she isn’t the Sex Toy Stalker. She most certainly is. The woman tried to murder me in my own home.

Stefan: Why did you call me wanting to put off telling Caroline she was my daughter. When I saw her at the hospital and she said you’d called her back I naturally assumed you summoned her back from her honeymoon to tell her that I was her father because of my medical condition.

Bobbie; You assumed wrong. I called Carly back because her doctor, Dr. Meadows, needed to see her, immediately.

Stefan; Is there something medically wrong with her?

Bobbie; I don’t know. Dr. Meadows wouldn’t tell me why it was so important for her to see Carly. After I met Sonny and Carly at the airport I went home and was attacked. The rest you know. The way Carly is feeling about me I doubt she’d tell me what it was about, but maybe Sonny would. Do you think you could find him and ask him to come and see me.

Stefan: I’m afraid you’ll be waiting a long time to see him. Last time I saw our daughter and her husband they’d decided to go off on the honeymoon that got interrupted.

Bobbie; What? Are all that just happened.

Stefan: After what just happened, I’d say this was the perfect time for them to go on the honeymoon. (he sat down in a chair next to Bobbie’s bed)You know, I had a chance to watch those two together. One moment our daughter was slapping him across the face because she apparently needed someone to take her frustrations out on and running away from him and the next time she was kissing him and hanging on to him for dear life before they left the hospital laughing together. Those two have found something special together. It looks like while her parents have been chasing after some illusive love of their life, our daughter found the real thing.

Bobbie: (turned her head away from his)Carly and Sonny are hardly a match made in heaven. Hell is more like it. They betrayed their best friend, Jason Morgan, and had wild, animal sex. They didn’t even use any protection and Carly got pregnant. The only reason they were together was because they were going to have a baby together.

Stefan: Sometimes you find your soul mate in the last place your looking for her. Speaking of soul mates, I’ve decided to drop all charges against your so-called soul mate and allow him to be released from jail.

Bobbie(narrowed her eyes at Stefan in suspicion)What’s the catch.

Stefan(smiled)How wise of you to realize there is one. In fact, there are quite a few strings attached to this deal. When I tell you what they are you may wish to let Mr. DeLucca wrote in jail, after all.

PORT CHARLES AIRPORT:

AJ(followed Sonny and Carly into the airport terminal and watches them approach the ticket counter.) How disgusting. They can’t keep their hands off of each other.

Sonny: I was wondering if there were any seats available on a flight to England. I’d chartered a jet to take us there, but something happened and we had to come back home. Now we want to try and get there by commercial airline.

Carly(kissed Sonny and linked her arm with his.)We’re going on our honeymoon.

Clerk(smiled)Let me check. It looks like you two are in luck. I just happen to have two tickets available in first class on a plane that is departing in about ten minutes.

Sonny: We’ll take them. (as he pays for the tickets, the clerk hands them to Carly)

Carly(waves them under his nose) It’s fate. This proves it. We’re supposed to go on our honeymoon and leave all our troubles behind.

AJ(watches as they walk through the boarding gate, then he walks up to the ticket counter.)I need a ticket on the plane to England that’s just about to take off.

Clerk: I’m not sure if there’s any seats left.(she checks her computer)I sold the last two to that couple that just left, but there is one seat left in coach.

AJ: I’ll take it. (he pays for the ticket and heads through the departing gate. Up ahead he can see Sonny and Carly boarding the plane.) Yeah, Carly, it looks like it’s fate.
