The Oceanfront
Chapter 10
As she gazes into his dark intense eyes for the last half hour or so she felt a mixture of feelings; a part of her hated him but another part of her wanted him. She had never hated and yet wanted someone the way she hated and wanted Sonny as she did at the very moment.
His eyes stayed glued on the woman who was now the mother of his child. He could still hardly believe that he was going to be a father. He never really pictured himself having kids before because of the life he lead. He knew that Carly fear was understandable to a point especially since he had failed her regarding her father but that didn't mean he was going to let her push him out of his own child's life. He knew all too well how it felt like to be abandon. Even though his life wasn't ideal for a child he knew his child would be better off with him then without him.
Breaking the silence between them Carly warns "I'm not a helpless woman"
"I know" Sonny simply remarks; never thinking of Carly as being helpless. It took a hell of a woman to stand up to Savage the way she did by going to him. Most women in her shoes would have been too scared to even think about going to the "enemy" to save themselves from an evil bastard like Savage. Hell he admired her for it even though she was reckless by risking her life to save his.
"You may think you know who you're dealing with but you don't really know me" Carly goes on to say. Sure she had no idea how she was going to get out of this mess she was now in but she did know one thing was for sure she couldn't lose her child like she lost her father.
"I have a good idea who you are" Sonny states back confidently. Sure he may not know everything there was to know about Carly yet but he had the rest of his life to figure out everything else about his bride to be.
"People will know I'm missing" Carly states frustrated that he thought he could just kidnap her and get away with it because he was Michael Sonny Corinthos.
"I'm not worried about it" Sonny remarks knowing that Lenny Robert was afraid of his own shadow.
Meanwhile in a restaurant near the waterfront Lenny was sitting a table with a glass of ice tea as he waited for Taggert to show up. Just as he was about to stand up and leave he spots Taggert making his way towards him…
"Sorry I'm late I got held up by the police commissioner." Taggert explains as he approaches his table. As he sits himself down in front of Lenny he goes on to say "On the phone you told me you had some information regarding Sonny Corinthos that I needed to know."
"I got more than information for you. What I'm about to tell you, you will finally be able to put Sonny Corinthos behind bars where he belongs" Lenny declares knowing that Carly would thank him for this in the end since it would fix all her problems. Her baby will be safe and so would Carly from the likes of Sonny and the world he lives in.
"Well you have my full attention. What do you got for me?" Taggert questions.
"Sonny Corinthos and his goons just kidnapped my best friend. When I arrived earlier at my place I found Jason Morgan and some thugs packing my friends belongings. When I asked Jason Morgan where Carly was he said she was heading to her new home in Port Charles."
"And you're SURE Sonny took her against her will?" Taggert questions since he knew from past experience Sonny wasn't sloppy when he committed illegal acts which is why he keeps getting away with the crimes he commits.
"I'm sure. She's pregnant with his child and she was going out of her way to keep it from him. My friend made a mistake when she slept with Sonny Corinthos and I can assure you she regrets she ever laid eyes on him. There is noooooooooooo way in hell my friend went willing back to Port Charles with him."
"She's pregnant with Sonny's kid?!" Taggert asks shocked that she was pregnant since she didn't look pregnant
"Yeah" Lenny sighs out heavily.
"You did the right thing by telling me. I saw what that son of a bitch did to his mother as a kid so there is no telling what he will do to Carly. Don't you worry I'm taking the next plane out of here and I'm going to nail him for kidnapping Carly!" Taggert declares
"I'm coming too." Lenny states knowing that Carly was going to need his support. He just hoped that they got to Port Charles in time before Sonny did anything to Carly or her unborn child.
Giving Carly a curious look Sonny asks "So how did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Fake the test results of the pregnancy test I bought for you"
Letting out a smirk Carly remarks "I'm not going to tell you"
"Why not? You plan didn't work out so you might as well just tell me how you pulled that little trick off"
"Because I'm not stupid, that's why. You don't really want to know how I did it you just want to know how my brain works. You see you're studying the enemy that way you can keep the upper hand" Carly declares knowing that a man like Sonny has gone to battle before against powerful people and the first thing anyone who goes to war does is study the enemy to see how they operate to know how to strike before the enemy strikes at them.
"First of all I don't see you as my enemy and second of all I don't need to study you because I already know how you operate which is why your plan to keep me away from our child didn't work." Sonny declares
"Whatever" Carly sighs out heavily; silently hating him for figuring out her secret but also admiring him at the same time for figuring it out.
Noticing her start to wince as she looks away from him towards her injured leg where that bastard Savage had shot her Sonny asks with a concern tone of voice "How's your leg?"
"It's fine" Carly states as Sonny stands up from his seat.
Making his way over to her Sonny asks "Then why are you wincing"
"People don't normally smile when they're being kidnapped" Carly remarks back. As Sonny's hand reaches out towards her leg Carly pushes it away from her as she asks "What do you think you're doing?"
"I just want to see how your leg looks like. I want to make sure a stitch or something didn't pop while I carried you out of your apartment then onto the plane. You know you really shouldn't have been fighting me like that."
"If you're so concern about my welfare you wouldn't have kidnapped me in the first place and put both our child and myself at risk by staking claim to my baby" Carly states back as she pushes his hand away yet again; not wanting him to touch her since his touch sent chills up and down her body.
"Our baby" Sonny corrects her with annoyance laced into his voice. "And stop pushing my hand away so I can examine your damn leg!"
"Sonny its fine! Leave it alone" Carly hisses out yet again as she smacks his hand away from her.
"And I should take your word for it because you would never lie to me, right?"
"UHHHHHHHH! Leave me alone!"
"Not until I take a look at it" Sonny remarks back
"Fine. Maybe if you see the damage you will rethink your plans about staking claim to MY kid to spare him or her from being another victim of the mob." Carly snaps out
"It's OUR kid and I promise you no one is going to hurt OUR child" Sonny states back as he slowly takes off her bandage.
"Like you promise me you would keep my father and myself safe from Savage?" Carly questions back
"The doc did a nice job on your leg. It's healing nicely. From the looks of it I doubt you will have a scar. I would give you alcohol for the pain but since you're pregnant I don't think it's a
good idea. Hell I'm not even sure you should be taking pain medicine because of the baby. I'll ask my doctor in Port Charles what's the best pain treatment for you now that you're pregnant" Sonny remarks back ignoring her remark about his word failing her in the past. He
didn't need to be reminded it of it because ever since it happened that was all he could think about.
"I stopped taking the pain medication when I found I was pregnant. I didn't want to risk hurting the baby." Carly admits
"Good. I'll get you a fresh bandage. I have a first aid kit in the washroom" Sonny remarks wanting to cover it up for two reasons. One because he wanted to keep her injury clean and two because he HATED to see her wound; knowing it was his fault she got shot.
Watching Sonny as he walked away her Carly lets out a heavy sigh before letting out a small moan from the pain she was feeling because of her injury.
"Everything is packed in the limo" Logan remarks as he walks back into the empty room where Carly use to sleep in.
"Great." Jason nods pleased that his work was done so he could head back home and help Sonny since he had a feeling Sonny was going to need all the help he could get regarding Carly by the way she was screaming when Sonny left with her.
Walking up behind one of the goons that worked for Sonny, Lenny states "Carly's cellphone is on the coffee table"
"That's alright she won't need it anymore" Jason remarks knowing Sonny would buy Carly a new cell phone that was better and that had an unlisted number for her protection.
"What if I need to talk to her?" Lenny asks as Logan walks past him out of the room.
"IF Carly wants to talk to you she'll call you" Jason remarks as heads out the door
Watching Jason as he walked away from him Lenny knew without a doubt that going to that cop Taggert was the right thing to do for his friend and her unborn child.
Carrying Carly inside the penthouse in his arms because Carly's crutches were left behind Sonny utters out to her as he makes his way towards the couch "I know Port Charles is nothing like Florida but the Penthouse has the best view of the harbor"
"I'm not interested in the view unless you're drowning in it" Carly remarks back as Sonny carefully places her onto the couch.
Letting out a heavy sigh Sonny glances towards the doorway as he orders out "Johnny get in here"
"Johnny this is Carly Benson. Carly this is Johnny O'Brien he will be one of your bodyguards. Johnny has been working for me for years now. He's experience and loyal and he'll make sure you and our baby stays safe"
"Nice meeting you Ms. Benson" Johnny states with a grin across his face. The boss always had pretty ladies coming in and out of his penthouse but he had to admit he was shocked to see that Ms. Benson was a blonde since the boss always used to go for the petite pretty brunette type of women and Carly was a bombshell blonde.
"You're a good looking man Johnny" Carly comments with a grin across her face which causes Johnny to blush a little and groan at the same time as he notices the boss shooting him a deadly look.
"Get back to your post Johnny" Sonny snaps out annoyed that Carly was telling Johnny he was a good looking man to get back at him and Johnny was falling for her crap.
As Johnny nods his head and makes his way back to his post Carly calls out to him "You should think about that Johnny because pretty men become bitch's In PRISON and that's where you and your boss are going for kidnapping me!"
"Shut the door Johnny!" Sonny orders out as he shoots Carly a dirty look "I get it. You don't want to be here. Well here's a news flash for you I don't really want you here either!"
"Then WHY am I here?!"
"WHY?! Because you're carrying MY child that's WHY!" Sonny snaps out as he heads towards the mini bar to make himself a much needed drink.
"So I'm carrying your child it still doesn't give you the right to kidnap me and take me to this dump!" Carly yells out
"Oh I'm sorry you're right it must really SUCK to live in a penthouse that doesn't have PEE stains all over the place!"
"Lenny's apartment didn't have pee stains all over the place, and unlike YOU he respects me!"
Rolling his eyes at her, Sonny drinks down the drink he made for himself and slams the glass back down onto the mini bar before going on to say "You're the mother of my child of course I'll respect you but that doesn't mean I'll let you walk all over me. Now that you're living under my roof there are rules you're going to need to follow. You are to always stay close to your guards at all times. You are not allowed to snoop into my desk and you stay out of my business."
"I don't care about your stupid rules Sonny because I don't plan on staying here. My home is in Florida and that's where I plan to raise my child"
"Our child" Sonny corrects her with annoyance laced into his voice at having to remind her all the time it wasn't just her kid but their child.
"Fine our child but I'm still not going to be living here" Carly states back stubbornly since Florida was the only home she knew. Sure she no longer had her dad but Florida was still her home.
"My headquarters is here in Port Charles and I'm not going to relocate because you prefer to live in Florida. And as my wife you'll be living wherever I live which is here" Sonny explains to her as he pours himself another drink.
"WIFE?! What do you mean as you're wife?! I'm not you're wife Sonny!"
"But you will be" Sonny states simply before drinking down his drink as Carly stares at him with a stun look across her face.
