Quotes
Gabrielle Solis: [Gabrielle and Carlos are in bed; Gabrielle rubs lotion on her hands while Carlos reads a book] I'm so lucky to have you.
Carlos Solis: Huh. Okay, I'll bite.
[Puts book down on nightstand as Gabrielle moves closer]
Carlos Solis: Why are you so lucky?
Gabrielle Solis: Because... I don't want to have kids and you do.
Carlos Solis: Oh, that.
Gabrielle Solis: Most men would leave over something like that. And you're still here.
[Caresses his chest]
Gabrielle Solis: I'm grateful. I know the sacrifice you're making.
Carlos Solis: There's still a little part of me that's hoping you'll change your mind. Once you had a baby I think that you would love it so much that you...
Gabrielle Solis: [Interrupts him] Honey, it's not going to happen.
Carlos Solis: You never know.
Gabrielle Solis: No, sometimes you do.
Carlos Solis: Well, it is a sacrifice.
[Gently strokes her arm]
Carlos Solis: But you're worth it.
[Gabrielle leans over and starts kissing him]
Mary Alice Young: [Split-screen: Gabrielle and Carlos having sex and Carlos replacing Gabrielle's birth control pills with fakes]
[V.O]
Mary Alice Young: Yes, Gabrielle Solis knew without a doubt that she didn't want to be a mother. But what she couldn't know was just how much her husband wanted to be a father. Or that he'd been tampering with her birth control for months. Or that within one weeks time, she'd be pregnant.
