Chapter 5
AJ followed Carly into the living room. Alan and Monica were sitting there drinking tea. Edward was sitting at the desk.
Alan: Hello, Carly.
Monica: Oh goody. You're home.
Carly rolled her eyes.
Carly: Don't act so excited to see me.
She made sure that her hair was down now and that her bruises were hidden.
AJ: Did my wife tell you the great news?
Carly looked at AJ.
Monica: What news?
AJ: We're finally having a baby.
Carly's eyes went wide. She was going to kill Emily.
Edward's eyes lit up.
Edward: Well, well! Maybe there's some good news during this dreadful day!
AJ: Honey, I'm sure you were saving it as a surprise, but I just had to say something. I found the test in the trashcan.
Carly smiled nervously.
AJ: I'm thrilled!
He walked over to Carly and kissed her passionately.
Edward: Well it's time to get a nursery ready! How much time until the little heir gets here? Seven or eight months?
Carly: I . . . I don't know. I just found out . . . today.
AJ: Well, wife, let's go talk about our new bundle of joy.
Monica: Finally. You're finally have a baby. Maybe you're good for something after all.
Alan: Monica!
Monica: What?
Alan just sighed and shook his head. Carly slowly left the room and AJ followed after her. They headed upstairs quietly and into their room. AJ shut the door behind Carly and locked it.
Carly: So, are you happy? You finally got me pregnant.
AJ smirked at her.
AJ: You think I believe for one second that you're having my kid? You're a whore, Carly! It could probably be any man in Port Charles' kid.
Carly: I don't think that you believe that. This kid is yours AJ. There hasn't been anyone else.
AJ: Right . . .
Carly: Look, this kid is yours. Not that I want it to be.
AJ: Oh no. I know your game baby. You're trying to get me to believe that it's mine when it's really my brother's. I know you've got ulterior motives. I know you, Carlybabes.
Sonny was just outside of the Quartermaine mansion now. He had decided that he'd observe Carly and AJ. Johnny was waiting out front. Sonny was standing out in the back yard, hidden behind a bush. He was looking up at the balcony of Carly and AJ's room. It was snowing hard and Sonny was freezing his ass off. But he was worried about this woman that he didn't even know. He knew that the bastard Quartermaine was an abusive drunk. He knew all about him because Jason had told Sonny stories that could drive a man to have nightmares.
Carly shook her head.
Carly: Apparently, you don't.
AJ: That baby is Jason's isn't it?
Carly: No! It's not!
AJ: Don't lie to me you stupid whore!
Carly glared at him with fire in her eyes.
Carly: It's not Jason's!
AJ: I want you to have an abortion.
Carly: No!
AJ: You're going to fucking have an abortion, Carly! You aren't having Jason's baby!
Outside, Sonny's cell phone rang and it was Jason.
Sonny: Yeah?
Jason: It's me. I just got a trace. Alcazar's in North Carolina. He's heading this way.
Sonny: Good. Go meet him halfway. You find him. Take care of him before he gets here. If he gets past you, we'll deal with him when he gets here.
Jason: I'm on it.
Sonny: Wait . . . I hope you know that AJ and Carly are arguing.
Jason: What?
Sonny: I met Carly. She fell and I drove her home. She's home with AJ right now. I think he's going to beat her again.
Jason: What?!
Sonny: Just go pack. Go to my penthouse when you're done. I'm going to try to get her out of there.
Jason: You don't even know her.
Sonny: It's okay. I have the feeling that she's going to want to get out of there.
Jason: Fine. I'll meet you there.
Sonny: No! The penthouse. Just go!
Jason: Okay. I'll be there.
Jason hung up and Sonny put his cell phone away and continued to watch the argument that was erupting between Carly and her husband even though he couldn't hear what they were saying.
Carly: I will not get rid of this baby!
AJ: If you won't, then I will! I'll fucking beat it till it's dead!
He pushed Carly down onto the bed and started kicking her in the stomach. Sonny felt his heart pound and he clenched his fists. He ran up to the side of the house and climbed onto a ladder that went up to the balcony. He climbed up as fast as he could.
Carly was screaming in pain as AJ kicked her over and over again in the stomach. Sonny burst through the door and he jumped on AJ. He knocked him into the wall and AJ hit his head. He fell down and he was passed out. Sonny rushed to Carly.
Carly: What . . . what are you doing?
Sonny: Come on. I'm getting you out of here.
Carly: No . . . he'll kill them . . .
Sonny: He's going to kill you. Come on.
Sonny picked Carly up and headed out of the room and down the hallway. He went down the stairs where the Quartermaine's were standing in the foyer looking up because of the commotion.
Alan: Sonny?!
Edward: Let go of that little girl, Corinthos!
Sonny: Get out of my way!
Sonny opened the front door and headed out to the limo. He put her inside and got in. Johnny drove off and Sonny looked at Carly who was crying uncontrollably.
Sonny: You're safe now.
Carly: No I'm not! He's going to kill my family!
Sonny: He won't kill your family, Carly. I won't let that happen.
Carly: How can I trust you? I don't know you.
Sonny: You trust Jason, don't you?
Carly nodded.
Sonny: Then you can trust me. AJ won't hurt anyone.
Carly felt the muscles in her abdomen contracting and she knew that she was losing the baby. She couldn't go to the hospital. It was just something she couldn't do. She hated hospitals. But . . . maybe it would be a good idea.
Carly: I . . . I need to go . . .
Sonny: Go where?
Carly looked down at her belly.
Carly: I need to go to the hospital.
Sonny: Jason's waiting at the penthouse.
Carly: I think I'm losing my baby.
Sonny: You're pregnant?!
Carly nodded.
Carly: With AJ's baby . . .
Sonny: Johnny! Get to General Hospital!
He picked up his cell phone and called Jason. He told him to get directly to the hospital as soon as he possibly could.
AJ followed Carly into the living room. Alan and Monica were sitting there drinking tea. Edward was sitting at the desk.
Alan: Hello, Carly.
Monica: Oh goody. You're home.
