Chapter 6
Carly was rushed into the Emergency Room by Sonny. He was actually carrying her. Jason was waiting. He rushed over to them.
Jason: Carly? Baby? Are you okay?
Carly: It hurts . . .
She then passed out in Sonny's arms. A nurse ran over to them and a paramedic that was getting ready to leave brought a stretcher over. Sonny put Carly down on that and the nurse found the doctor and wheeled her away. Jason looked at Sonny.
Jason: How'd you find her, again?
Sonny: Johnny was driving and I saw her fall. I didn't know who she was until I saw her face.
Jason: What happened to her?
Sonny: AJ hurt her really badly.
Jason: I want to kill him.
Sonny: I know you do. But you can't. First, because he's your brother and everyone knows you hate each other. You'd be the prime suspect. Second of all, you have orders to take care of Alcazar.
Jason: I can't leave Carly.
Sonny: I'm your boss. You take orders from me. I'll stay with Carly.
Jason knew Sonny. Jason knew Sonny's way with women. And Jason knew Carly. She could easily fall for the one man who helped her out when she needed it.
Jason: I'm not leaving her.
Sonny: Jason! You have orders!
Jason: I love her, Sonny. She loves me. She needs me.
Sonny: Look, I just want this taken care of. It's your job to do. It's in your contract!
Jason: Fine. I'll go. Just let me say goodbye to her.
Sonny: Of course.
Jason walked back to where Carly had been taken. She was now in a hospital gown and she was hooked up to monitors. A doctor was examining her now. Jason walked in and saw up near Carly's head. He took her hand.
Jason: You okay?
Carly shook her head.
Carly: No. I need you, Jason.
Jason: I have to go away for a little while.
Carly: What? Why?
Jason: Business.
Carly: Of course . . . business. Why now?
Jason: It's really important, Carly.
Carly: What about me? I'm chopped liver?
Jason: No! Carly, I love you, but I have to go.
Carly: I just lost my baby. I can't lose you too.
Jason: Did you . . .
Doctor: Yes. She miscarried.
Carly felt tears sting her eyes and she heard it confirmed. Jason leaned down and kissed Carly.
Jason: I'm sorry.
Carly: It's not your fault. It's AJ's. I didn't want to have his kid anyway . . . but it was my baby too, you know?
Jason nodded and squeezed her hand.
Jason: I know.
Carly: Promise me you're coming back.
Jason: I promise.
Carly smiled.
Carly: I'll miss you.
Jason: I'll miss you.
Carly: Bye.
Jason: Bye . . .
He left the room and Carly just broke down into tears.

Later that evening, Sonny walked into Carly's hospital room. She was lying there watching the television. But she was basically just staring at it, not really noticing what was going on. She glanced over at the door and saw Sonny.
Carly: What do you want?
Sonny walked over and sat down beside her bed.
Sonny: I wanted to make sure that you were okay.
Carly: You don't have to check up on me.
Sonny: Carly, I'm sorry that this happened.
Carly: Why? You don't know me. I don't know you. We just met. The only thing we have in common is Jason.
Sonny: Carly, I would kill any man who ever laid a hand on a woman. If you ask me to, I'll get rid of AJ.
Carly looked frightened now.
Carly: No!
Sonny: What do you want me to do?
Carly: I want you to protect my family. He's going to go after them.
Sonny: I already have my bodyguard, Max on it.
Carly: I thought his name was Johnny.
Sonny: I have more than one.
Carly: Of course! You're loaded.
Sonny: Carly, please let me do something.
Carly: Jason will take care of it when he gets back.
Sonny: So what are you going to do? Go back to that house where your husband beats you?
Carly crossed her arms.
Carly: I don't have anywhere else to go besides my mom's house. My brother's there and there really isn't any room for me.
Sonny: I have a place for you to stay.
Carly: Where?
Sonny: My place.
Carly: Fuck no.
Sonny: There are bodyguards. You wouldn't have to worry about AJ getting in to see you. It's just until Jason gets back. Then you can let him help you.
Carly: How am I supposed to trust you? You're practically a stranger.
Sonny: Because Jason trusts me.
Carly looked into Sonny's eyes. She sighed and bit her lip. She figured, what the hell? It couldn't be worse than living with AJ.
Carly: Fine. But only until Jason gets back.
Sonny held his hand out. Carly shook it.
Sonny: Deal?
Carly: Deal.
Carly was rushed into the Emergency Room by Sonny. He was actually carrying her. Jason was waiting. He rushed over to them.
