Chapter Twelve
(Don't own GH or any GH character. And you know all that other crap)
Carly arrived at her home along with her sons, Michael and Morgan. This was the only house that was completely hers and noone else...a home that was comforting and beautiful thanks to her former best friend Courtney Mathew. Courtney had decorated the place and she was dead on in knowing the kind of style that Carly loved. To say that Carly missed Courtney would be an understatement, it was one of the very reasons that she had began to get along with Sam. But Sam wasn't Courtney and Sam and Carly had a long history between the two of them. But Carly was hoping that things would get better because the past few months had been absolutely hectic. Jason had almost died, Courtney had died, she had been kidnapped by Manny and the virus and the relationship between Sonny and Emily. Carly didn't hate Emily, she was one of the few Quatermans that Carly didn't absolutely despise but she wasn't princess Emily's biggest fan. And she hated the fact that Emily and Sonny were dating but as she already explained to her therapist, the relationship was non of her business. She was okay with it...okay maybe not but she wouldn't stop Sonny and Emily or try to get between them. She was done with Sonny and his women.
Carly unlocked her door allowing Michael and Morgan to go on in before her and walked after her and blinked in shocked as both her sons ran to hug their father, eyes and faces lighten with happiness. For Carly, a different emotion surged in her body. Absolute confussion, she had locked her door before leaving the house before and Sonny didn't have keys. Sonny kissed both his sons smiling brightely before turning to their mother, almost immediately as their eyes met, an electric shock penetrated the year. Carly and Sonny had the most complicated, insane, dangerour relationship that ever graced the city of Port Charles. The two were realiable but dangerous together, their grand passion, shouting matches were famous and in the past they would break up and makeup like crazy. They were unfaithful, vengeful and jealous. Passionate, chemestry, blazing heat of unrealing passion that would torch a state. The love between the two had always been like a beacon in the night but also like a esclipe in the day.
"Dad's here!" Michael exclaimed happily turning back to his mother as is she was clueless, "isn't this great"
Carly looked from her ex-husband and to both her son's joyous faces and bit back her angry accusations that had been on top of her tongue and instead smiled and replied with a "Yeah, great"
Sonny already knew that he was in trouble but really, he was a man on a mission and if he
didn't speak to her first about his proposal to Emily, he knew that she would find out one way or another. For the next few minutes, Sonny just relazed while talking to his boys, finding out about school and why Morgan had to go the hospital and advicing Michael to be respectfull and polite to Leticia and reminding himself to give the young nanny a raise. Looking at his boys happily reveal the events of the day made him smile because his sons were his life. He loved Morgan and Michael more that the world no matter what everyone else said and he would admit that he had spoild both his children. Michael was more like him than Sonny would want but a part of him was a little happy at that fact.
Carly smiled a little watching the men in her life interacting so happily but she wasn't stupid. Sonny was there for a reason and she wanted to find out what the reason he was there sooner than later, "Okay guys, its late" Carly said interupting the laughter.
Sonny turned to Carly who was still standing arms crossed then turned to his sons, "You mom is right, it's rather late so why don't you all give a hug and let you mom put you to bed"
All at once, like little soldiers, Michael and Morgan did as they dad had said, giving Sonny a hug and following Carly up the stairs. It was always a wonder that Michael and Morgan were more likely to do what Sonny wanted them to do than Carly. Sometimes that fact would piss Carly off but more often than not Michael was mostly likely to be protective over his mother. While Carly was putting her boys in their rooms, Sonny was sitting on one of the white couches trying to think of the right words to say what was on his mind.
"So what is it?" Carly asked as she came down the stairs to stand in front of Sonny, "The reason that you broke into my house"
Sonny looked up at her and attempted to smile, "I didn't break into your house?"
"Really" Carly raised her eyebrows and crossed her arms across her chest, "Then, pretell...how did you get in?"
"I..." Sonny smiled that moment as he reached over his pocket, "used my keys"
Carly was shocked as Sonny showed her a pair of keys, "What...how?" she shook her head furiously and grabbed the keys from Sonny.
"Take them, all your" Sonny said trying not to laugh, it was always easy for him to get to her and seeing her so troubled was always his momentum, "I have extras"
Carly sighed in fstraution holding on to the keys tightly, "Why the hell are you here?"
Sonny's smile slipped from his lips, "I have good news to tell you"
Carly chuckled and sat down still looking at Sonny, what he had to say didn't sound like good news.
"You know, you and me, we have always had a complicated kind of love" Sonny began his speach, "Its something that has always exploded all over the place, the best when it was good and absolutely terrible when its bad. But you know, the only thing I would change throughout that time is my actions towards you"
Carly forced a smile turning away suddenly, "What are you trying to say Sonny?"
Sonny was silent for a moment taking a deep breath, "I love you Carly, you know that?"
Carly looked back at him, "Sonny..."
"And always will" Sonny said interupting her, "But we cant be together"
"Why are saying this?" Carly asked standing up, "Why are we talking about something that we already know to be true, what is you point? just make the point and let it just be the point?"
"I am getting married" Sonny said dropping the bomb.
Silence followed the proclamation, Carly suddenly felt dizzy and wobbly and felt like she was sick in the stomach. She sat down staring at Sonny in a shocked daze then smiled a little. This was not what she had expected from Sonny, telling her that he was getting married and who else could he be getting married to but Emily.
"Are you okay?" Sonny asked, breaking the silence...she wasn't really going all crazy as he expected her to become but he wasn't really sure of that was a good thing or not.
Carly nodded, her smile still in place but turned away from Sonny, "Wow, congratulations then"
Sonny raised his eyebrows and shook his head in confusion, "Thanks"
"We have to tell Michael and Morgan" Carly said turning to Sonny once more, "they are so gonna be happy"
Silence followed once more, both Sonny and Carly looked at each other in silence each not knowing what to do or say. Carly was still reeling from Sonny's news and for the first time, she wasn't really thing about herself but someone else...Jason. And while both were engulfed in their own thoughts neither noticed Michael, hiding behind the top of the stairs listening to their conversaions and he wasn't happy at all.
