Stefano is sitting at a table in The Penthouse Grille. He checks his watch, and looks annoyed. He looks up, and sees someone.

Stefano: It's about time you got here!

Vivian smiles.

Vivian: I'm so glad you've agreed to meet with me.

Nicole and Brady are lying naked in bed together. Brady is sleeping. Nicole remembers what Vivian said to her about Brady using her. She gets up, and gets dressed. She goes downstairs, and takes out her phone. She dials a number.

EJ: Hello.

Nicole: Hey, it's me. I've made my decision.

EJ: Really? I hope it's the right one.

Carrie is sitting in the Pub. She sees Will come out of the kitchen with Gabi. Will sees Carrie. He goes to her table.

Will: Did you miss me?

Carrie gets up. They hug.

Carrie: How are you?

Will: I'm good. How about-Oh, my mom told me you were pregnant!

Carrie: Yes, I'm pregnant.

Will hugs her.

Will: Congratulations! I'm so happy for you! Where's Uncle Austin?

Daniel and Carly are standing at the nurses station in the hospital. Stephanie comes to the nurses station, and goes on the computer.

Carly: So, how's Parker?

Daniel: He is great. Chloe and I wanted to have a dinner with everyone and we were wondering if you can make it.

Carly: Who's everyone?

Daniel: Me, Chloe, Melanie, Philip, Brady, Maggie, Bo, and Nicole I guess.

Carly laughs.

Carly: Me, Chloe, Nicole, and Victor all in one room? After Parker's baptism, you'll be throwing a funeral.

Daniel: Oh, stop. Victor has mellowed.

Carly laughs.

Carly: Is that what you think?

Daniel: Come on.

Carly: Let me know when and where.

Stefano and Vivian are sitting at a table in the Penthouse Grille.

Stefano: Well, why did you want to meet?

Vivian: Don't you find it interesting that both our spouses betrayed us both at the same time?

Stefano: Dear God, is this why you called me here?

Vivian: Yes! We need to figure out a way to get revenge, and it's better if we work as a team!

Stefano: If I say no, will I wake up in a coffin tomorrow?

Vivian: You never know, so you might as well say yes.

Stefano laughs.

Stefano: In all seriousness now, why should I help you? You went against Victor, how do I know you won't go against me?

Vivian: I know better than to double cross Stefano DiMera.

Stefano doesn't look impressed. He sees Chad standing at the bar.

Stefano: I find it hard to believe you, Vivian. Now do something for me; help me in some way, and maybe I will consider it.

Vivian: Stefano! But-

Stefano: I have something I need to take care of. Have a lovely day.

Stefano gets up, and Vivian throws her napkin on the table.

Vivian: Damn it!

EJ is in the living room of the DiMera mansion. Nicole walks in.

EJ: So, you've made a decision.

Nicole: Yes. EJ, I realize I may never get another chance to be a mother, and Brady has made it clear he doesn't want a family.

EJ: So your choosing Sydney over Brady?

Nicole: Yes.

EJ: Have you told Brady?

Nicole: Not yet. I will later today.

EJ: Good. I'll have Mary set up a room for you.

Nicole: Well, I'm going to go talk to Brady.

Nicole leaves the living room.

Carrie and Will are sitting at a table in the Pub.

Carrie: So, are you and Gabi close?

Will: Were getting there.

Carrie: Have you been dealing with what was bothering you?

Will: Yes, that problem's over.

Carrie: What do you mean it's over? It doesn't just disappear, Will.

Will: I really don't want to talk about this.

Carrie: Will-

Will: I forget something upstairs.

Carrie: Will, please-

Will gets up, and goes upstairs.

Stephanie is at the nurses station of the hospital. She looks up Parker's tests. She looks confused, and prints them. She picks them up.

Stephanie: What do I do with these?

Chloe walks out of the elevator. Stephanie sees her, and walks up to her.

Chloe: Stephanie, hey. How's it going?

Stephanie: Good. What about you?

Chloe: Good, tired, but good.

Stephanie: How's Parker?

Chloe: He's good. A little colic though.

Stephanie: Oh, well I'm sure he will get over it.

Chloe: I hope it's soon.

They laugh. Stephanie looks down at the papers in her hands, and is confused over what to do.

Stefano and Chad are standing at the bar in the Penthouse Grille.

Chad: What do you want?

Stefano: Chad, I just want to talk.

Chad: Ok, talk.

Stefano: Maybe I came on a little strong.

Chad laughs.

Chad: A little?

Stefano: Ok, maybe a lot. But you have to understand how important family is to me.

Chad: What, are we supposed to have dinners together? Am I supposed to move in, and call you dad? Are we supposed to get each other Christmas presents.

Stefano: I'm hoping in time we can become close.

Chad: I don't know. I need to go now though.

Chad leaves, and Vivian is shown, and was listening to the whole conversation. She looks intrigued.

Will comes back downstairs of the Pub, and Carrie gets up. She looks confused, and starts to get dizzy. She almost falls over, and Will comes rushing over.

Will: Aunt Carrie! Are you ok?

Carrie: Ya, I think so. I was just a bit dizzy.

Will: Do you want me to take you to the hospital?

Carrie: No, I'm fine. Really.

She gets dizzy again, and almost falls over.

Will: Ok, I'm taking you.

Carrie: Ok.

Nicole is sitting in the living room of the Kirikas mansion. Brady walks in.

Brady: What's with the luggages?

Nicole: Brady, we need to talk about something.

Brady: Ok. What's wrong?

Nicole gets up.

Nicole: Brady, this isn't working between us.

Brady: What do you mean? I thought we were doing great.

Nicole: Brady, we want different things.

Nicole starts crying.

Nicole: Brady, I never thought I would want to be a mother, but it happened. And loosing Sydney had left such a huge hole in me. And now I have the chance to be with her again. And I can't just give it away.

Brady nods.

Brady: I understand.

Nicole smiles, and wipes a tear.

Carrie is waiting in a hospital room. A doctor comes in.

Doctor: Hi, I'm Dr. Amelia Sander. How are you feeling?

Carrie: I'm better. I was just a bit dizzy. I'm sure it was nothing.

Amelia: I hope so, but I would feel a lot better if I ran a few tests.

Carrie: Ok, that's fine.

Carrie looks nervous as Amelia leaves the room.
