Grand Phoenix
In Sally’s suite at Grand Phoenix, Nick puts on some generic music to soothe Sally.
She reads the results as the color changes to blue and seems in slow motion for a moment.
There is a 0% possibility that Nick’s the father. They realize Adam is so she calls him to talk.
He’s at Society with Victor and he tells her to come to him at Society. She prefers if he meet her at her place.
She tells Nick his presence will agitate Adam so he should go but Nick wants to be there for her. Adam arrives.
Sally’s tense as she tells Adam she’s pregnant. He thinks it’s Nick’s but she tells him he’s the dad.
He’s in shock and asks to talk alone. She takes her coat and asks him to follow.
Chancellor Park
Adam and Sally talk about how long she’s known she was pregnant for.
He’s starting to get excited about the baby and hopes it’s a girl.
He wants to make a really big decked out tree house for her and will ensure Sally gets a nice place for the family to live since she commented that they both never had a family growing up. She asks if it’s a boy, then what?
He’d like that, too and Connor would like to boss around a brother. Adam asks her to marry him and she takes off running.
Society
Adam races after Sally to Society where Victor watches them discuss how Adam’s never loved anyone quite like Sally.
She cries and he tells her this is meant to be.
She gets worked up and tells him this is a mistake. She runs.
Crimson Lights
Sally finds Nick with Sharon at Crimson Lights. She’s visibly upset and Sharon gets her water while Sally hugs Nick.
Adam finds them in each other’s arms and gripes that this isn’t happening. He won’t sit by and watch Nick raise his son.
The arguing continues and Nick tries to calm his brother down. When Adam goes unhinged, Nick hauls off and hits him.
Everything stops. The last several minutes backs right up. It never happened.
Grand Phoenix…again
It’s like Groundhog Day and Sally hasn’t looked at the test results yet. She only fantasized all of that.
She goes to look at them again. This time, she learns Nick’s definitely the father. Both are happy and celebrate by going to Society.
Society
Adam and Victor watch Sally and Nick arrive at Society. They tell him the pregnancy news and Victor eavesdrops.
Adam blows up. He’s not happy and doesn’t think Nick will ever love Sally as much as he does.
He goes and Victor chimes in that his son is making a mistake.
Nick warns his dad to have respect or he won’t see his grandchild.
Crimson Lights…again
Sally and Nick wind up back at Crimson Lights where they tell Sharon Sally’s pregnant.
Sharon, who already knew, congratulates them. She says Tessa and Mariah’s kid will have a playmate!
Sally goes to call Coco in another room while Sharon and Nick talk about how happy he is. Sharon asks if he’s in love with Sally but he’s not.
He doesn’t see that happening but doesn’t think it matters, either. They’re together. Sally overhears and is devastated. Nick tells her he doesn’t think she wanted a fairy tale anyway.
Once again, everything rewinds and none of this happened. It’s just her fantasy.
Grand Phoenix…last time
Sally and Nick arrive at her suite at Grand Phoenix and she still hasn’t opened those test results.
She asks Nick if he wants a boy or a girl. He doesn’t seem to care. She asks if he’d build a tree house for their kid. He laughs.
He’d rather call a contractor. He tells her that they’re getting ahead of themselves and to open the results. “The child will be loved no matter what,” he vows.
