Carly paced the floor of Mercy Hospital.

"Carly, quit it. You’re driving me crazy with the pacing."

Carly turned to face Ric Lansing. "If you would have told me the truth, we wouldn’t be here." She turned away in disgust. "I can’t believe you don’t remember if you raped me or not."

Ric jumped up out of his chair and grabbed Carly’s arm. "If you really thought I had raped you, Sonny would have killed me already. So let’s call it what it was: two drunk people feeling lonely who ended up in a hotel room together."

Carly snatched her arm away. "I know you put something in my drink. I never, ever would have slept with you, at least not willingly."

Ric took out his cell phone. "If you’re so convinced I did something, let’s call Sonny. You can tell him how you were at Jake’s, after losing your guards, tossing back shots flirting with men who weren’t him and the next thing you remember is waking up naked next to his half-brother."

He started dialing Sonny’s number.

She quickly grabbed the phone out of his hand and deleted the entered numbers. "You are such a prick! I can’t believe I ever liked you."

Carly rubbed her swollen belly.

"Join the club. I can’t believe that louse of a brother of mine actually slept with you to begin with, much less impregnated and married you," Ric replied.

"Shut up about my marr-"

The door opened and the doctor walked into the empty waiting room. "Miss Benson, I have the results. Would you like me to read them here."

Carly nodded.

The doctor put on his glasses and opened the file. He read it and then looked up at Ric.

"Sir, you are a 99.99% match to the baby boy."

Carly screamed and Ric smiled triumphantly.

The doctor walked over to Carly. "Miss Benson, will you be okay?"

Ric walked to her and rubbed her back.

"She’ll be fine, doctor. It’s just the shock. I’ll take care of her. Thank you."

The doctor looked from the sobbing woman to the happy man, shrugged and left the room.

"Elizabeth, we’re having a son," Ric whispered under his breath.
