PH4

Courtney: You know, just because i'm queasy doesn't mean that I'm pregnant.

Jason: I wasn't thinking you were. I was just remembering carly sitting on the couch one day, probably telling me something i didn't want to hear, and all of a sudden, she got sick. She said that breathing thing usually helped her feel better.

Courtney: Yeah, I'm just -- I don't know, I haven't been eating right or getting enough sleep because of all the stress over carly, that's all. Getting pregnant right now wouldn't be good for anyone.

Jason: No, it wouldn'T.

[Jason pours her a glass of water]

Courtney: Thank you.

Jason: Are you sure that this is all you want?

Courtney: Yeah, I'll -- I'll have something else in a little while. Sorry for the false alarm.

Jason: No big deal. It's ok.

Courtney: It seems kind of freaky even considering having a baby right now. I mean, I want to be a mother someday -- after we're married.

Jason: I know. We're supposed to be married right now.

Courtney: Thanks a lot, ric.

Jason: You know what, when carly gets back, we'll -- we'll plan another wedding.

Courtney: You make it sound so simple. "When carly gets back." You know, like she's on a trip to california instead of being held hostage. It makes it even worse that she's pregnant. I mean, not only is sonny missing his wife, but he's afraid he could lose their child.

Jason: I got to give it to sonny. I don't know if I could stand going through anything like that with you.  [They hug]

Michael: Guess what i had.

Courtney: A chocolate sundae?

Michael: Hey, how'd you guess?

Courtney: Well, I'm psychic. That's how i know that my only nephew should be in bed. Come on.

Michael: I'm not sleepy.

Sonny: Oh, no? It's way past your bedtime. You go with courtney upstairs, ok? Find yourself a book.

Michael: Ok.

Sonny: I'll be up there in a minute to tuck you in.

Michael: Ok.

Sonny: Ok?

Jason: Good night, buddy.

Michael: Good night. Hey, can you tell mommy that i said hi if she calls? And tell her i miss her and her baby, too?

Sonny: Yeah, I will.

Michael: Thanks.

Sonny: Slap me five.

Courtney: Come on, sweetie.  [They go upstairs]

Sonny: Faith was waiting for me outside of kelly's with a gun.

Jason: Did michael see her?

Sonny: No, I told him to go back in.

Jason: What did she want?

Sonny: What do you think? She wants to kill me. So i made a deal. I convinced faith that the only way ric is going to stay alive is if she cooperates with us. What?

Jason: What -- what do we need her for?

Sonny: She's going to front for us. We're going to let alcazar land the shipment, she's going to buy the drugs. That way they never make the street.

Jason: And what if faith double-crosses you?

Jason: All right, so what if alcazar figures out that it's a setup? Then what?

Sonny: Well, then i guess i'm just going to have to figure out another way to get carly back.

Jason: As long as faith knows that ric's alive, why not let her visit him? I mean, maybe we'll get lucky, they'll have a fight, he'll push her down the stairs, and she'll poison him.

Sonny: I need ric and faith alive right now. Unfortunately, i don't know any other way to get carly back. Do you?

[Courtney listens from the stairs]

Jason: Listen, ric and faith, a lot could go wrong with those two.

Sonny: Yeah, but we got to make sure it doesn'T. We're talking about my wife and child. I mean, come on, jason.

Jason: I know.

Sonny: Well, you'd do the same for courtney, wouldn't you?

Jason: Absolutely.

Sonny: Be glad you're not a father, be glad you don't have a wife who's your -- your whole world, with an innocent child inside of her, and you can't get to see them. And you got to deal with faith and alcazar just to get to them.

Jason: You're right. It's good that i'm -- I'm not a father. I mean, that, you know, all this happened before courtney and I got married. You're right.

Sonny: That's not what i meant. I hate -- I'm sick of this, all right? I hate what I'm doing. I hate -- I hate what I'm doing to get out of it even worse. But I have --

[phone rings]

sonny: Hold on. Hello? Good. Um -- just come on over right now. Yeah. That was faith. Alcazar bought it. Give you that.

Jason: Now what?

Sonny: Ok, I need you to make a delivery for me, ok? We need one more person to make this work.

Jason: I'll take care of it.

Sonny: Thanks for handling it.

Jason: Yep.

Sonny: Hey.

Courtney: Jason left?

Sonny: Yeah, yeah, he -- he's not going to be too long.

Courtney: Well, michael's had his bath and he's picking out a story for you to read to him. I'm going to go across the hall, ok?

Sonny: Ok. You know what? You got to know I really appreciate what you're doing.

Courtney: I'm your sister.

Sonny: I know.

Courtney: Comes with the package.

Sonny: But you know what, you've been giving a lot. I haven't really been giving anything back. You should be married by now, back from your honeymoon, working on a family. You have not complained once.

Courtney: Look, I'm just trying to help everybody out. Carly would do the same for me.

Sonny: Yeah.

Courtney: And I know that you would, too.

Sonny: Yeah, well, you are my kid sister. I'm very lucky. I really couldn't have done this without you.

Courtney: I love you, sonny.  {She hugs him and leaves]
