Claudia wakes to knocking at the door, she stumbles out of bed to answer it. It's Carly with a try of food, "Hi I know its early, but I just wanted to make sure you ate something before you left." Claudia ushers her in, "Thank you, but no you didn't you just came by to remind me that my doctor's appointment is today." Carly knows she's been caught, "Okay okay, so maybe that's the real reason I came by this morning. Sorry." Claudia smiles at Carly (She is nice, I probably should have given her a chance when we first meet) "It's fine. So what are you doing around 1?' Carly smiles, "You want me to come with you!" Claudia swallows the toast she was eating, "Of course you're like the closest thing I have to a friend without complications right now.' Carly: "I am your friend, and I would be honored." Claudia hugs her, "Thank you, now I have to get dress and go home to change. I'll meet you there around 12:30." Carly leaves, Claudia finishes her breakfast, dresses and heads home.
Claudia walks through the front door, "honey I'm home!" She drops her bag and goes towards the kitchen to drop off the pastries she just bought; Sonny's on the phone when she enters the living room. He holds up a finger signaling that he's be off in a min. so she goes to the bar to pour herself some water. Sonny walks up behind her and was about to ask how her dinner with Carly went yesterday when Anthony enters. Anthony: "Isn't that nice you guys are still in the honeymoon phase! Well you'll have to finish this later because we have business to discus, Claudia leave!" Sonny and Claudia turn to face Anthony and Sonny grabs Claudia's hand and pulls her along with him, "Anthony this is my home and you will respect my wife in her own home." Anthony just smirks at them, "Whatever you say Mr. Corinthos, excuse me Claudia but I have some business to discus with your husband so could you go bake us some cookies or something. There was that respectful enough for you?" Claudia is still close to Sonny's side, "It's nice to see you too daddy, but as you can tell my husband would rather have me here by his side helping with business. Not in the kitchen baking cookies." Anthony turns towards Sonny and notices he isn't going to make her leave, "So you are going to talk to your father that way?" He turns back towards Sonny, "But then I beat that's not what her mouth is best used for." Claudia is beyond angry at him, "Dad that's not appropriate in any way!" and she storms off towards the stairs.
Claudia is in tears by the time she gets to her room: Dam hormones, I don't have time for this. She takes a warm bubble bath and gets dress. By the time she's done Sonny's waiting downstairs, "I'm sorry about what your father said." Claudia: "It's not your fault, I um. Have to go meet Carly somewhere soon so I'll see you later." Sonny watches her walk away but she stops at the door and turns to him. "do you want to have dinner later?" Sonny: I just never know what to expect with her sometimes, she's so hard to read. O she's waiting for a response, "Yeah, um do you want me to cook?" Claudia smiles at him, "that'd be nice."
Claudia looks at her phone, she's go about an hour till she has to meet Carly at the hospital so she goes to the garage. "John, John, Johnny!" He comes from under a car, "Stop yelling I'm right her. What's wrong, who do you need me to kill now?" Claudia just smirks at him, "Very funny, I just came to warn you that daddy will probably be visiting you soon." Johnny throws the cloth he was just using to wipe his hands with, "Dam it Claudia what did you do now?" Claudia looks at him in shook, "Why do you always assume I did something, you know our father he's crazy." Johnny softens a little, "fine. What did dad do now?" Claudia sits on the nearby stool, "O besides, telling Sonny my place is in the kitchen? Lets see, he basically called me a slut." Johnny just lets out a loud sigh, he wouldn't put it pass their father to just out right call Claudia a slut. He moves over by his sister and hugs her, "I'm sorry. Why do you put up with him though Claudia? Do you want his approv…" She stops him before he can finish, "No! No John I am not some little child who needs her father's approval!" John backs up a bit, "fine, okay so maybe I've got it wrong." "Yeah, you do have it wrong! I just don't want to talk about this anymore. How was your date the other day with crazy?" John's angry now, "I told you not to call her that, and it wasn't a date. It's not like I'm asking how your boyfriend is." Claudia smiles a bit, "Okay touché, I can play nice. How's Lulu?" He looks at her like he doesn't believe she really wants to know. "Really, how is she?" Johnny: "she's fine. How is Cassadine?" Claudia looks down towards the floor, "he's fine. Um John you know what I have to get going I'm suppose to be meeting someone soon." Johnny notices she is avoiding the subject and obviously doesn't want to talk about it so he lets it go, for now, "fine but Claudia you know you can talk to me right?" Claudia is now at the door, she turns to him flashes him a smile and says, "I know."
Claudia is sitting in the waiting area when someone walks up to her, "So your now fallowing me Mrs. Corinthos?" She looks up and smiles at Nickolas, "How do I know you aren't fallowing me Batman?" Nickolas smiles back at her, "may I?" he ask to sit in the seat next to her. Claudia nods (Gosh he has like the most perfect lips! Claudia hold it together you should not be thinking about that) and he sits down. "I believe you are the one fallowing me batman, because didn't you say yesterday that you had to pack for a business trip?" Nickolas just nods (Gosh, why can't I stop thinking about that kiss! Because your not an idiot and that was a Great kiss!). Claudia: "So that means you are the one whom is doing the fallowing batman. " Nickolas: "No I had to push my trip back a day because I forgot about the board meeting I had with the hospital today." Claudia's nodding, "Okay I guess I believe you, " Claudia says mockingly. Nickolas then ask Claudia, "If I may ask what are you doing here?" Claudia's face changes (I should NOT be flirting with Nickolas, especially while I'm here to check if I'm pregnant with my Husband's child. Just walk away Claudia, walk away) " I um…." She was interrupted when Carly showed up, "Sorry I'm late. Hey Nickolas, sorry I can't catch up but Claudia and I are late for (the alarmed look on Claudia's face told Carly to lie) lunch."
