TV-14

Tony meets Ally and Tyler coming off of the elevator.  He walks them
home.  Ty is happy to see Tony and wants to know when they can play
basketball.  Ally sends him off to get in his pajamas.  Tony makes polite
chitchat until Ally asks about Carla.  He tells her she+s doing well, but
will be staying with him for a while.  Still not remembering that she
carried another man+s baby while she was in love with Casey, she tells
him that Carla is permanent.  Tony tells her that Danny has moved out,
she wonders why, then guesses it+s because of her.  He gives her the
non-news that Danny likes her.  She+s insulted that he thinks she+s to
blind to notice that and that he seems to think that she would return the
feelings.  Getting angrier, she tells him that she loves him and jumping
into bed after something like drinking too much is his way, not hers.
In typical soap fashion, the anger leads to a kiss.  She stops and says
that it+s wrong.  He protests and she says there+s something he has to
know....  (Cliffhanger)

Tess tells Buck about the lump.  He+s very concerned but upset that she
didn+t tell him sooner.  She tells him that she+s scared and also didn+t
want to spoil his happiness.  She tells him that she could lose a breast
and even worse if the cancer has spread.  He semi-convinces her to be
optimistic.  To his dismay, she says she that though she loves him, she
won+t marry him if the tumor is malignant.  They emotionally argue,
Tess thinks without her good body he won+t find her attractive and he
tries to convince her that isn+t true.  He tells her that working through
problems is what loving someone is all about.

Tracy is gloating to herself about Carla+s non-pregnancy when Gino
arrives.  For once, she seems actually happy to see him.  She apologizes
again for lying about her family.  In a bit of Quartermaine-like logic, he
explains that if you are doing it to spare someone+s feelings it+s called
caring, not lying.  He+s happy about the toasts made by Tracy and Carla,
Tracy says that they understand each other better now.  They discuss
living arrangements post-wedding.  He figures the penthouse during the
week and Brooklyn on weekends.  He+s excited about his grandchild being
just downstairs from them.  He tells her that any baby of Carla+s would be
important, but Tony being the father (Soleito Blood) makes it even better.
She tells him that she doesn+t want him to be disappointed if something
happened to the baby, referring to the miscarriage scare.  He tells her that
nothing will happened.  He tells her that he went to pay the building taxes
and someone had beat him to it.  He thinks it was her, but she reminds him
that she+s broke.  They both look confused.

Danny arrives at Tony+s with a test kit for Carla.  They anxiously await the
results.  Carla talks about being a mother and Danny mentions that he might
be a father.  She makes him promise that if it is positive, then the night 
at
the Plaza never happened.  The timer goes off and they check the results -
they+re positive!  Carla smiles at first, then looks a little apprehensive.
