How Did I End Up Here – Chapter 11
The Laundry Mat
Dante and Lulu walk in. Ronnie wasn't there yet so Dante grabs Lulu and lifts here up on the washer. "Hey." Lulu says and Dante stands between Lulu's legs.
"Hey what? I can't take this little bit of alone time to make out with my beautiful wife?"
"Well when you put it that way." She leans in kissing him deeply. The pair gets lost in their kisses. Forgetting why they are there.
"Uh um." Ronnie says clearing his throat. "UH UM!!!"
The pair breaks apart looking a little bit ashamed at having been caught making out in the laundry mat."
"You called?" Ronnie says.
"Yea we need to talk." Dante says helping Lulu off the washer. "But first let me introduce you to my beautiful wife Leslie Lu Falconeri." He stops and turns to Lulu. "Or is it going to be Spencer-Falconeri, anyway we got married." He says turning back to Ronnie.
"Dammit Dante I told you not to get involved. This is going to cause nothing but problems. This is going to put you at even more risk and the chances of your cover being blown is greater now."
"It's too late. My cover was already blown. That's one of the reason we decided to get married."
"Why didn't you just leave town when you had the chance? Why would you tie yourself to this town more than you already are? Sonny's going to come after you now and he won't stop until your dead. You could have disappeared and gone undercover for a while."
"Ronnie you may not understand this but I love Lulu. I'm not going to run, not any more." Dante reaches down and grabs Lulu's hand in his. "I finally have something in my life that I'm not going to run from. I'm sorry Ronnie but I can't do it any more."
"We've been working on this case for 2 years and I'd like to say I understand but you know I don't. But you know what buddy, this is your decision not mine."
"Thank you." Dante says reaching out to shake his partner's hand. Ronnie grabs his hand and pulls his childhood friend in to a hug.
"Congrats buddy."
"Thanks man." Dante says hugging his friend back. The pair parts and Ronnie grabs Lulu in a hug.
"You better not hurt this guy."
Lulu looks up at Ronnie. "I won't I love him." Lulu moves out of Ronnie's arms and into her husbands.
'So what's next?" Ronnie asks.
"Oh I almost forgot." He reaches in his pocket and pulls out his resignation papers. "Can you give this to the captain, it's my resignation papers."
"Sure." He says taking the papers from Dante.
Lulu looks at Dante. "I thought you said that you were going to resign from the case. You didn't say anything about resigning from the NYPD."
"Lulu, honey unfortunately it doesn't work like that besides I can't be an NYPD Officer in New York if my wife is here in Port Charles. I was thinking about going to talk to Mac and see if there was a place on the PCPD."
"So we can stay here in Port Charles. I just thought we would be moving to New York." She jumps up and hugs Dante. Dante starts laughing at his wife's excitement.
"Lulu and I are going to go look for my mother." Dante says to Ronnie. "She said she had a why to fix this and I think she headed Sonny's."
"Are you sure you want to go anywhere near Sonny. Maybe you should just lay low for a while, enjoy your time with your beautiful wife."
"Like I said before I can't keep running. It's time I stop running and that means even from Sonny."
"OK just be careful." Ronnie says leaving the laundry mat.
Lulu leans up to kiss Dante. "I love you."
"I love you to.
Sonny's Office
"He's not just the son of one of your friends, he's your son." Olivia says. "He's our son."
Sonny slowly slides back down in to his desk chair a look of shock on his face. "What do you mean our son?"
"Our son, yours' and mine. What part of our son didn't you get? Dante Angelo Falconeri is your son. You're his father."
"You told everyone that you didn't know who his father was."
"I lied. My family hated you Sonny and even back then I knew that there was no way you could be a father."
"So you lied to me. You deprived me of getting to know my son, my first-born. How could you do that?"
"Easily. You were getting in too deep with Joe Scully and I didn't want that for my baby. I was only 15 years old and I knew where you were headed. I knew that if I let you in my babies life then there was a chance that he would end up where you are today and I couldn't let that happen so I lied."
"What made you tell me the truth now? You could have come here today and just told me that Dante was your son and I would never have hurt him but you didn't. You told me that he was my son."
"I couldn't take the chance that you would hurt him Sonny. He's all I have and I figured there was a better chance you wouldn't kill him if you knew that he was your son."
"Does he know? Is that why he's trying to put me in jail?"
"No he doesn't know. I told him just like I told everyone else I have no idea who his father is. It's just a coincidence that he was assigned to work your case."
"Where you ever going to tell him, like when he came to town and you found out why."
"I thought about it but I keep putting it off and then things just kept getting more and more complicated and I kept finding more reasons to put it off."
"So when are we going to tell him?"
"We're not going to tell him. If I have my way he's never going to find you're his father."
