"What if I could convince Carly to keep her?" Sonny said. "No, not that woman. I almost lost our kids because of her." Claudia shook her head. "Claudia think about it. Lily would be with Michael and she would be safe." "Go ask her, but Lily is staying here for now." "Okay I will, but Max and Milo are staying right here and I am calling Jason." She asked frustrated, "What's Jason gonna do Sonny?" "Find Anthony." Sonny walked out the door.
Claudia cradled Lily, "Baby we might be apart for a little." She started to cry, "You have to know I love you, I will fight for you. Michael will protect you with his life." Max and Milo were both very close to protect both of them. Then Jason walked in. Claudia wiped the tears from her eyes, "Hi Jason." "Hi Claudia. What's up? Sonny sounded frantic." "Um my father is going to try to kill my family. Sonny wants you to find him." "Okay I will and I will kill that b*****d." "Jason watch the language around the baby please." Jason reached out for Lily, "Can I hold her?" Claudia nodded and handed him Lily. "What's her name, again?" "Lily." "She is so pretty, she looks a lot like you Claudia." She smiled, she didn't care if Lily looked like her, their daughter was beautiful.
Sonny knocked on Carly's door. "Hey Sonny, you can come in." She told him. "I have a very serious question for you." He told her. "Okay, shoot." "I know you and Jax already have a baby and if I wasn't desperate I wouldn't be asking.." he droned on. "Sonny just ask." "My daughter, Lily is in danger. Could you and Jax watch her, please. She doesn't wake up in the middle of the night." He pleaded with Carly. "Sonny if she's gonna put my family in danger, no, but if she isn't then yes." "We will bring her here tonight, thank you."
Sonny walked into his house to see Claudia cuddled up with Lily. She heard him walk in and she sat up. "What did Carly say? Is she going to take Lily?" "She is going to take Lily. We take her tonight." Claudia's eyes widened, "Wait.. She's leaving tonight?" She looked down at the angel sleeping in her arms. "Claudia she has to get out as soon as possible." Claudia wept, "Sonny I can't do it. Lose another child." She shook her head, Sonny sat next to her on the couch, "We aren't losing her, just for the time being she will not be with us."
Claudia handed Lily to Sonny, "I guess I have to go pack some of her things." "Do you want me to help?" Sonny asked to his now unhappy wife. "No, I can do it." She stomped up the steps. "She is almost like a little child sometimes," He told Lily, "She doesn't want to lose you I guess. You have to be safe, and she gets that. We do love you, Lil."
Claudia tried to be calm as she figured out what to pack. How long was she going to be gone? It was hard to fold the clothes as her tears dripped down her face. She pulled at her hair to get it out of her face, "Daddy why are you doing this to me?" She stopped and sat on the rocking chair. What had become of her life? She was never supposed to have a family or become attached to anyone. That wasn't how the business worked, it was every man/woman for himself/herself. "Claudia get yourself together girl. You have to pack for Lily." She told herself out loud.
She walked slowly and carefully down the steps. She wanted to curl up into a ball and die, but she couldn't, she had to be strong. She had wiped the tears from her eyes to make sure he didn't know she had been crying. She smiled at them and sat on the couch. She touched Lily's face trying to commit every detail to memory. "It's time to go, Claudia." She nodded her head, "Okay, lets go." Sonny carried the bag and Claudia carried Lily as they walked out of the house. The last time they might be a family for awhile or forever.
