At the time, Carly was pregnant and thought Vivian was her friend.
She asked Vivian for help to run from Lawrence.
When Carly gave birth to her son, Vivian faked the little boy’s death and kidnapped him.
She raised him as her adopted son Nikkie Alamain.

Thankfully, Victor Kiriakis stopped the evil plan.
