She stared down at the pregnancy test stick and smiled. It was positive and this child would save her life. She then frowned realizing what she was doing to an innocent baby, her tears flowed. Being a Zacchara and a Corinthos would put this baby in so much danger. She already was in love with this little thing and would already give her life for this baby. Why could this be her only out, the only way to protect her life. She heard Sonny walk in the door downstairs. She wiped her tears, put on a smile and walked down to her husband of inconvenience. She couldn't tell him, yet, she had to make this look like an accident to Sonny he couldn't know that she purposely got pregnant. See she was responsible for Sonny's son, Michael's shooting and if Sonny got proof he would kill her.
"Hi, Sonny." she called. "What's wrong?" he asked her eyes were beet red. "Oh, um, nothing. Allergies I guess." "Okay, hope you feel better." he said, then he walked upstairs. She knew he would be back soon, so she called her brother, Jon, and made it sound like she was on the phone with the abortion clinic. It was perfect, Sonny walked in right on the conversation. "So you're pregnant," he said, Claudia nodded, "How'd this happen, we used protection." "I don't know Sonny, but you don't have to worry about it, this pregnancy won't be an issue, and I'll have an abortion." tears dripped down her face. "I don't want that. I want you to have 'our' baby." "You can't make me have this baby; your opinion isn't the only one that matters." "Claudia, I'm not saying that if you don't want the baby fine." "I guess another person in this house wouldn't be bad, I'll have our baby." Sonny smiled, but Claudia was the one that was really happy.
Over the next months Michael wakes up and befriends Claudia. Carly, Michael's mother is also pregnant, but Michael doesn't want her baby like he wants Claudia's. Carly decides to try to get rid of Claudia. Carly starts a fight with Claudia at the top of a flight of stairs. "I want you to stay away from my son!" Carly exclaimed. "Carly, what is wrong with me hanging out with Michael?" Claudia challenged. Carly was not supposed to be stressed and Claudia was worried, so she stopped and got closer to Carly to help her. "Are you okay, Carly?" Claudia asked, but at that point Carly stuck her hands out, and pushed Claudia down the steps.
