I'm back! Well kind of. If you cant tell I've lost my muse but not my love of this couple. So I need reviews people! Oh please dont make me beg!
"Sonny Corinthos. What's wrong, Claudia? Brenda and I are kind of in the middle of something."
It was true they really were in the middle of something, considering how big going on their honeymoon was. But Claudia and Sonny shared two sons: Brayden and Aaron. And because of that he would always have to answer her calls.
"Brayden was hit by a car."
Her sobs are broken up and he can barely understand her, but he heard the name of his son and the word 'hit'. He shifts comfortably in his seat and pulls over on the side of the road.
"What do you mean hit? What happened to Brayden?"
"He was hit by a car, Sonny."
"Where are you?"
"In the ER."
"We're coming."
He immediately turns the car around, not caring what police officer sees him. He ignores Brenda's questions about what was wrong and just drove. His new wife didn't matter at that point in time.
Clauson-Clauson
The elevator doors open and he runs out, leaving Brenda standing there. He sees his ex-wife standing there, crying into one of Brayden's blankets. Johnny's there but he's not saying anything, he's not helping his sister.
"Claudia."
She turns around to him. He sees all the things that are hidden away in her eyes, things that no one else sees. He can see the fear and apologies. He walks up to her and holds her in his arms.
No one expected that, Sonny always gave the feeling that he could not stand his ex wife. They stand like this for a long time, her sobbing into his shirt. He rubs her back, hoping to calm her. Brenda says hello to Johnny and no matter how hard she tries, she can't help but feel a twinge of jealousy because Sonny's never held her that close or that tight.
Sonny had never regretted having his two sons with Claudia, those little boys were his life and he loved them like he loved the air he breathed. He slowly lets go of her, even though she's continued to sob and leads her to the couches.
"No, Sonny we have to be in there. Make them let me in there, please. I promised him I wouldn't leave."
She says pulling away from him.
"We can't go in right now, it's okay. Claudia look at me."
Her eyes finally met his. She watched as he went to grab his phone.
"What are you doing?" She asked.
"Calling Jason."
"Sonny, he's here already. He's the one who hit my baby."
She buries her face back into the blanket and even though he is shocked beyond belief, he still throws his arm over her shoulders and holds her.
"How did this happen?"
The two sense Johnny and Brenda moving closer to them to hear her give an explanation.
"I don't even know. I came in from getting the mail and he was just playing with his toys. Then Aaron started walking around and he fell, of course he started crying so I went to get him. When I turned around Brayden was gone and the door was open. I heard the screeching tires and he was just laying there. Jason was kneeling beside him and he wasn't moving. I called his name and he wouldn't move."
"Shh, it's okay. Brayden is strong, he's our son, right? We'll get him through this. Okay Claudia? You and me."
He takes her hand in his and she somehow knows she can do this. But no one else thinks she can. Once upon a time Claudia was strong, but not anymore.
"Now where is Aaron?"
"He's in the daycare, I didn't want him to see me so upset."
He wipes a piece of matted hair from her eyes. He's never seen her like this, so fearful and so lost. Their sons were everything to her and losing Brayden or Aaron would ultimately be the death of her.
"I'm so sorry."
He holds her close and gently rubs her back, he has to stay strong even though he felt like crying. He couldn't do it in front of her. She was already to upset and seeing him cry would make it worse. He didn't want to be weak in front of her.
"It's not your fault, he was learning to open doors, he didn't know. And he's such a little boy, Jason couldn't have possibly seen him."
"But he still ran over him! He was speeding fast enough to hit our son! You didn't have to see our child lying on the ground practically drowning in his own blood. You didn't have to see him."
He's never seen her like this, so inconsolable. Then he looks to the hallway and he sees his best friend standing there with tears lining his eyes. Johnny and Brenda look over too and Brenda leaves her spot to hug Jason.
Claudia and Sonny watch as Dr. Webber walks slowly towards them. She sees the look on his face and fears the worst. It's always the worst case scenario with them. She swears that they'll never be able to win. Sonny stands next to her, grabbing hold of her hand.
"Mr. Corinthos, Ms. Zacchara, your son is in critical condition. He is being prepped for surgery as we speak. I know this is pretty sudden and as much as I would love to let you see him time is of the essence. So we'll let you know when we're done. One of our nurses will take you to a family room. You can even get your other son if you want."
Jason listens in, Brayden was his god-son. Hell he loved that boy as his own and now they didn't know if he was going to make it. He's only three years old and he could die. He watches as Steve walks away, he's assisting in the surgery and a nurses leads Claudia and Sonny to a family room. He realizes Brenda is standing next to him and she's going to walk with Sonny. He grabs her arm and shakes his head.
"News flash, Jason, Sonny is my husband not hers. He needs me not her."
"This one thing isn't actually about you, Brenda, okay? Brayden is three years old and the people who love him most are fearing for his life so it's about them and Brayden. So for once get over yourself, be dignified and sit with me and Johnny. Leave them the hell alone."
