CHAPTER SIX
BEGGING, FIGHTS, ACTION PLAN
ZACHARRA MANSION – LIBRARY
Sitting on the middle cushion of her father's leather couch – she stared at the desk. The desk her father absolutely loved to sit at – as he dealt out all his vast amount of punishment against the world. "Daddy -" She softly said. So not to alert any of the henchmen that had stayed at the family mansion – even after Sonny took over the Zacharra family business.
"I have lost everything, daddy. Sonny. My baby. John. Everything." Tears fell down her cheeks. "You had warned me daddy, that this was going to happen. Well everything expect for my baby. You always said that I would never make a good mother." Her head tilted to the right as she stared at the image of her father, "You always claimed that the moment I got pregnant – I would lose the baby."
"That the fetus would realize what type of person I truly am, and decide to just kill itself." Her right hand lifted to her right cheek, and she caught a few falling tears. "Well daddy, I am pregnant. The fetus has decided to grow and grow inside me. The baby is healthy."
"But I have still lost my baby. Even through I'm his or her mother, the moment I give birth – I have to give up all rights to my child to Sonny." Claudia frowned deeply. Her eyes steel. "To that whore of his. That's truly what Sonny is saying. He wants his street urchin whore to raise my sweet and innocent."
Anthony's ghostly eyes glistened.
"But I'm never going to allow that too happen, daddy." Claudia glared into her father's image's eyes. "You taught me better than that. I'm going to find every dirty secret that whore has. Than I'm going to expose her for the tramp she truly is. I'll make her sorry that she even was born."
Anthony's image faded.
ALEXIS'S BEACH HOUSE
Alexis opened the door and pointed her hand in. "Come in."
Sonny nodded and passed her. "I have just informed Claudia that she has to give up the baby to me."
"Even if it's Rick's?" Her head tilted.
"I'm going to inform Rick, that if the baby is his. Than he'll be able to see his child. But the child remains in my home." Sonny said in a calm voice. "That child won't have any more access to Claudia – expect for what it sadly has all ready have."
"You are going to have to have Claudia sign the papers. Doubt she'll do it willing." Alexis said sitting down on the couch.
"She'll do it. If she wants to -" Sonny didn't finish his sentence as he sat down in the chair.
Alexis just shook her head, "I'm going to pretend that I don't know what you are referring to."
"I'm not going to kill a child's mother. No child whom is living underneath my roof – or is part of my family; has to even question if I had their mother killed." Sonny said in a calm voice.
"I believe you Sonny." Alexis whispered.
"So you finally kicked that convincing bitch out on her ass." Kris said walking down the step into the living room. "I'm proud of you dad. Real proud."
"I hope you don't use that language around your little sister or brother." Sonny frowned at his daughter.
"No offense dad, but get with the times old man. Kids younger than Molly are cussing up a blue steak. I'm sure that even you and mom were cussing when you two were younger than Mol." Kris shrugged her shoulders as she sat down on the couch next to her mom.
Sonny and Alexis just looked at their daughter.
"I don't cuss too much around the younger sibs." Kris simply shrugged. "But you can't stop them from hearing the words."
Sonny sighed and simply nodded. "I hope you don't mouth off about your step mother -"
"We all have been mouthing off about dear Claudia – the moment you married her dad." Kris brown eyes opened. "What the hell were you thinking. Claudia Zacharra? Were you on some of the drugs that you make available to the public!"
"Kristina!" Alexis said sharply.
"The only good thing that came out of the marriage is Johnny." Kris shrugged. "He's one hot step uncle."
"Stay away from Johnny, Kris, he's much too old for you." Sonny's jaw tightened.
Kris simply rolled her eyes. "First he's much too young for Olivia, now he's much too old for me."
"Leave Olivia out of this." Sonny sighed.
Kris's right eye brow rose, "Why? When Olivia is the center of why you don't care much for Johnny. You love her, dad. You are jealous that Johnny gets to bed her whenever he wants." Her lips thinned as she watched how upset her father was getting. She knew that this was a dangerous sign where her father was concerned, but she didn't care. She wanted to push on, and get her father to finally admit to them, and himself that he truly does love Olivia.
METRO COURT – ROOM 6879
"I shouldn't have done that." She tucked in her shirt into her pants. "When I saw the room – I should have just left."
"You belonged here, Liv, with me. This was meant to be." He walked up and put his hands over hers at her waist. "Why are you so desperately trying to push me away. Why are you so desperately trying to shut yourself off from me, from the world, from yourself."
"Why are you desperately trying to win me back into your bed," She turned the question back to him. "I don't want to hear the old song and dance tune of how much you love me. You don't – you can't." She stepped backwards telling him that she wanted his hands off her waist.
Blinking he silently obeyed her. He just watched as she found her shoes and slipped them on, "I love you."
"Don't. I never asked you too." Olivia turned the knob on the door and walked out. Shutting it softly behind her.
Johnny frowned as his arms crossed his bare chest. He had managed to get his boxers on while she was getting dressed. He couldn't come to terms that it truly was over with them. How could it be when they had shared more emotions in that one twist – than they ever had in all the weeks that they had been together.
SONNY'S – STUDY
"Where's dad?" Morgan asked walking through the door – too see Michael calmly sitting in the chair that was closest to the French doors. Michael had a small modern up to date game console in his hands. He could hear the soft sounds of Doom III.
"He's laying down the law." Michael said not looking up from his game.
"Where?" Morgan demanded as he sat down on the couch.
"Think he's at Kris's house now. Telling Alexis the lay of the land." Finally he looked over at his brother, "Dad is going to have full custody to the baby. Weather if it's his, Uncle Ric's, or some other jack." A thin smile, "Claudia won't be able to have any visitation rights to the baby."
"Good." Morgan nodded his head firmly. "What's your new high score?"
"Two hundred points higher than this morning." Michael shrugged. "I think I'm actually pretty bored with the game."
Morgan grimaced.
Michael stood up and moved over to the couch. Slightly hitting his younger brother's shoulder with his own. "Only bored playing alone. I miss playing against you."
Morgan looked sideways and softly smiled.
"Look, I'm sorry Morgan." Michael sighed. "I'm sorry for not being the same brother that I was before I was in the coma."
"Not your fault." Morgan said in a tough voice. But Michael heard the slight crack in it.
"I'm sorry for not wanting to live with you and Mom. You know that I have never stopped loving you guys. Jax also of course. Just I feel like I need to be next to dad is all." Michael continued.
"Dad isn't even your real dad. He's just your adoptive father." Morgan's jaw clenched.
"He's the only dad I care to know on this planet earth." Michael softly said.
"What about Jason?" Morgan tilted his head. "I mean for a while that you were a baby – Jason and mom thought you were his son."
"Jason is my uncle. I will always feel for Jason -" Michael paused. "Jason is the best friend I have ever had. Besides you and Kris." Michael leaned against brother's shoulder once more. "Lulu now too."
"Come home Michael." Morgan tearfully begged his brother.
Michael sighed, "I can't. Not now."
"When? When the baby is born?" Morgan's voice raised.
"If my rages continue to happen as frequently, and without control – Morgan, than it's not safe for me at mom and Jax's." Michael sighed deeply wishing his little brother would understand. But Morgan was still too young.
"What about Claudia's baby?" Morgan demanded.
ZACHARRA MANSION – LIBRARY
"Here is the information that you requested." Handing the file over to Claudia.
"About damn time. I have requested this information seven months ago." Claudia glared up into the man's eyes. The man got the message and turned on his heels and left the study. Closing the doors behind him as he did so.
She knew that he would be standing at the closed doors – until she was ready to exist. Fingering the closed thick file she smiled thinning. She just knew that the answers that she wanted would be among these papers.
Placing the file down on her lap she opened it. She began to skim over the so – so information. Quite frankly information she all ready knew. It took twelve minutes before her eyes caught what she sought. Her brain slowed to a micro minute.
The way to get to Olivia Falcorneri was through her son.
