Carlos came to Port Charles with one task in mind. To get the love of his life Sabrina Santiago back for good. They had dated for several years in Puerto Rico. Sabrina ended the relationship when Carlos said he wanted to marry her and for her to be a stay at home wife and mom once they had children. Sabrina's dream was to become a nurse and though Carlos knew it, he thought Sabrina would love him enough to give up that dream for him. She did not. She chose her dream over him and left Puerto Rico for the nursing program at General Hospital in Port Charles.
The day she left Puerto Rico, he watched as she got on the plane. She didn't know that he was at the airport watching her leave. Her eyes were red from crying, but as she boarded the plane the tears stopped as she was looking forward to building a career and life away from Carlos. Carlos watched as the plane took off and disappeared into the sky.
Carlos: "I will get you back Sabrina. Even if it takes until the day I die, I will get you back."
Port Charles: 10 Months Later
Sabrina had been a registered nurse at General Hospital for a couple of months now. She had graduated top of her class in the nursing program and found a protective older brother in Dante Falconeri. Sabrina liked Dante from the moment they met because he was one of the first people to greet her in Port Charles. Dante was married to Lulu, when Sabrina first came to Port Charles, but Lulu had left Port Charles to see her older brother Lucky on an extended trip. Sabrina was there as a friend for Dante during the process of getting used to taking care of the baby and himself while Lulu was gone. Dante and Sabrina had found out they were siblings and were excited because they had always been friends and the friendship grew closer because they were siblings. Sabrina was in a relationship with Patrick Drake at the time. They were doing well until Sabrina thought they were in a rut. She brought up the subject to Patrick and this caused a huge fight, which led to their breakup. They were able to stay professional at work, but Patrick didn't like Dante being the protective big brother and hanging around Sabrina so he couldn't even talk to her. They met at Kelly's after their perspective shifts to talk about their day.
Dante: "Hey sis" as he got up to kiss Sabrina on the cheek
Sabrina: "Hey, how was your shift?" sitting down at their usual table
Dante: "Oh you know, catching bad guys, the usual. Yours?"
Sabrina: "Nothing too out of the ordinary. Just Patrick constantly saying that you are too protective of me."
Dante: "That is it. I am sick of him trying to tell you who can and can't protect you from him. He should be glad our father isn't the one following you around. I am going down there and talking to him after dinner."
Sabrina: "Don't worry about, I took care of it, I am no longer working with him."
Dante: "That's my sister." Kissing her once more on the cheek.
Sabrina rolled her eyes at this, but she couldn't help but love how protective her family was of her. Dante especially was protective of her because of how sweet and forgiving she was.
Carlos came walking by Kelly's and instinctively looked in the window. He stopped abruptly when he saw her. Sitting there with another man, laughing and talking as if there wasn't a care in the world. Carlos decided to surprise Sabrina right then and there.
Carlos: "Surprise!" Coming over to Sabrina's side. Sabrina looked up in disbelief as she didn't want to recognize the man who was standing beside her. Carlos reached down and grabbed Sabrina's face planting a kiss on her lips.
Dante quickly got up and pushed Carlos off of his sister.
Dante: "What the hell do you think you are doing?"
Carlos: "Kissing my girl. What does it look like I'm doing?"
Dante: "It looks to me that you are kissing my sister, when she doesn't want to be kissing her."
Carlos: "What do you mean your sister? Sabrina doesn't have any siblings."
Dante: "How does he know your name?" Looking at Sabrina.
Sabrina looked down at the table, but saw both sets of eyes on her. She looked up at Dante.
Sabrina: "He's my ex-boyfriend from Puerto Rico, Dante"
Dante: "The one who was wanting you to marry him and have kids without you following your dream?"
Sabrina: "That's the one."
Carlos: "When you put it that way chica, you make me sound as if I forced you into the relationship. As I remember we both wanted that."
Sabrina: "Yes, but not until I was a nurse Carlos."
Dante: "Alright, I have heard enough. Clearly my sister doesn't want to talk to you, why don't you go back to Puerto Rico and leave my sister alone."
Carlos: "Oh well see, I have a job here in Port Charles and I will be around for at least a couple of months."
Dante: "Well I guess you should be going to meet your new boss. If I ever see you around my sister again, I will personally see to it, you go back to Puerto Rico for good."
Carlos headed towards the door and before he went through the door, he looked back.
Carlos: "Sabrina this isn't over. I will get you back."
Sabrina was a wreck after he left. Dante tried to console her as best he could, but knew that she would feel better if Sonny knew about the situation. They drove over together to Sonny's house and were anxious to tell him about Carlos coming to Port Charles.
When they got there they saw that both Michael and Morgan were there as well.
Sabrina: "Maybe we should tell him later. I don't want to get Morgan and Michael into this too."
Dante: "Trust me, it will be easier telling them all at once then one by one. Especially in this family words get twisted so easily."
Sabrina: "Fine. Let's do this."
Dante: "We are not going to let him hurt you. I can promise you that."
What Sabrina didn't tell Dante that the kiss Carlos planted on her so unexpected had sparked her feelings for him again. She knew he was trouble and was probably working for someone under the table. She thought the best thing to do was to tell her family, then she could sort out her feelings for him without his influence, and with any luck realize it was just because she hadn't been kissed in a while that she felt that way.
Sonny: "Hey, my two oldest. What brings you guys here?"
Dante's face said it all.
Sonny: "Oh God, what's the problem."
Both Michael and Morgan got up and kissed Sabrina on the cheek. They sat down as they wanted to hear what was going on.
Dante: "Well me and Sabrina were eating at Kelly's like always and this man came in and kissed Sabrina right out of the blue."
Sonny's hands clamped shut.
Sonny: "Who was this guy?"
Sabrina: "My ex-boyfriend."
Sonny: "Patrick? Dante don't you know Patrick Drake?"
Dante: "It wasn't Patrick."
Sonny: "Than who?"
Sabrina: "My ex-boyfriend from Puerto Rico. Carlos."
Sonny: "Why is he in town?"
Sabrina: "He says that he is in town because he has a job and to get me back."
Sonny: "Why did you break up with him?"
Sabrina: "I broke up with him when he wanted to get married and start a family right away. That would of meant giving up my dream of becoming a nurse."
Morgan: "So he wanted you to just be a mom and wife?"
Sabrina: "Yeah. He says he won't stop fighting for me until he gets me back."
Michael: "Well we got to figure something out. I mean I for one, don't want this guy around you."
Sabrina: "Thanks Michael. I think I can handle it."
Sonny: "Darling, I love you, but your way of handling a situation like this is would be to invite him in and make him a five course meal."
Sabrina: "Thanks."
Sonny: "I'm just saying that you don't know all the resources that I have at my disposal."
Sabrina: "What are you going to do?"
Sonny: "Don't worry about, your brothers and I will take care of it."
Sabrina stood up and kissed him on the cheek, "Thanks, I really appreciate it."
Sonny: "Well you may take that back with what I have to tell you."
Sabrina: "Why?"
Sonny: "Because until Carlos is out of Port Charles, I want you to move in here with me, so I can watch over you. You can go anywhere, just as long as one of your brothers or I am with you. This includes work."
Sabrina: "Oh boy, Patrick is going to love that."
Dante: "I thought you said you took care of that?"
Sabrina: "I did but I just know that he is going to go out of his way to see me."
Michael: "Well we aren't going to allow him to do that. Both Patrick and Carlos are going to leave you alone. Come hell or high water."
