b** Sonny's penthouse **/b
Sonny was pacing. The fact that he had a 17-year-old daughter blew him away. The fact that she was also the granddaughter of Aleczander Victrovich also weighed heavily on his mind. He'd made a few calls and Montague was taken care of, permanently.
Ana, as she wished to be called now that the truth was out, had no problem calling him Papa, because she'd been waiting 16 years to call him that. Mike was already Grandfather to her too.
Sonny was now trying to remember what the hell he was going to do before he started pacing. Then it finally hit him, get some bodyguards for Ana. If it's not dangerous enough being the daughter of a mob leader, also being granddaughter to the leader of the Russian Mafia posed infinite more dangers.
The thought of all the dangers that she would be in just about pushed him to the edge. He darted out of his penthouse to Jason's.
Sonny was let right in.
[[Note: I don't want to do this, it's killing me, but it has to be done, I'll try to get this over with as quickly as possible.]]
He was greeted by a familiar voice, "Sonny!"
[[2nd Note: I swear, this hurts me more than it hurts you]]
"Robin! You're back from Paris. How was your trip?" Sonny asked perking up.
"Great. How have you been?"
"It's a long story. So how long have you been back?"
"I just got back yesterday." Robin responded
"What are you doing here?" He asked her.
"I'm here to see Jason of course." Robin told him.
"Is he here?" Sonny questioned?
"No, I'm waiting for him. I just got here."
Just then Carly came bustling down the stairs. One arm full of books, then other holding her cell phone, which she was talking on." Really? . . . . Eight years with HIV . . . . Yeah! . . . . Would he be willing to speak at the Nurses Ball? . . . . It's a charity function, we raise millions every year for aids research. It would be an honor to have him . . . . Oh no, thank 'you' . . . . If you need to talk to me and you can't reach me at my office, you can get me on my cell phone.
Carly hangs up then dumps her books on the dinning room table. She starts to organize her stuff ignoring Sonny and Robin.
They all sit there; Carly working on her plans, Robin and Sonny sitting on the couch waiting.
Finally after 15 minutes Carly can't stand Robin and Sonny's presence anymore, "If your waiting for Jason you're going to have to be here for a long time. He and Michael left about 30 minutes ago and don't plan on coming back until three pm.
"I'll wait." Robin tells her.
"Oh no you won't!!!!!" Carly exclaimed, "This is my home, I have lots of work to do on planning the Nurses Ball, I will not have you here disrupting my concentration."
She stalks to the door and opens it, then talks to the guard outside, "Billy, will you please escort Miss Scorpio out. I think Mr. Corinthos knows the way."
Billy, who started working for Jason before Robin came home, liked Carly, and would do almost anything for her. He didn't like Robin, she was a little bitch with Carly, and treated him like a servant, he just couldn't see what Jason and Sonny saw in her that made her likable. It was more than his pleasure, to escort her out. And as for Sonny, he'd be ok, if he would just lighten up on Carly.
Then the apartment was finally empty except for Carly. Then she remembered that she was expecting someone. Just then Billy opened the door, "Mrs. Lucy Coe-Collins here to see you."
"Oh good, I've been waiting for her!" Carly exclaims.
Lucy comes in wearing her usual attire, a short, tight, pale blue, wool dress and matching high heels. She also has some paper bags in her hands with "Kelly's" written on them.
She set the bags down and started taking out food, "I hope you don't mind, but I brought us lunch."
Carly took one look at the food, then ran to the bathroom, barely making it.
"Are you all right?" Lucy called out, following her.
Carly didn't respond. Lucy gives her some privacy. Carly came out a few minutes later.
"I'm sorry, the food." Carly paled thinking about it. "If you don't mind, can we skip lunch?"
"Sure, of course." Lucy agreed quickly in her usual manner.
"Great, well, since you've called I've gotten a few things done."
"Already?" Lucy's amazed.
"Yeah, well I booked someone to talk about living with HIV. He's had it for 8 years, and the way he got it was really sad. He used to be a paramedic, then one night when he was out on a run they brought in a guy, some how he was cut. The guy they were bringing in had HIV, and he picked it up from him."
"We usually go with Robin Scorpio."
"I know, that's why I got him. I'm going to be hosting it, and I can't stand her, there's no way I'm going to put up with that wanna be saint." Carly informed her, with a trace of bitterness in her voice.
"On the other hand, that guy sounds like he's a really good choice." Lucy amended quickly.
"Now we've only got five months to plan the rest."
"Well let's get to it!" Lucy told her in that up beat personality she had.
~*~
Emily was a little nervous, her birthday was coming up, and Lucky hadn't mentioned it. It wasn't like him to forget, but with everything that was going on lately, who could tell. It wasn't that she was selfish, but she really wanted to have a special day with him, alone, something they hadn't done in awhile.
Emily was also thinking a lot about what had been happening lately.
First of all, the band was really taking off. Their CD was supposed to come out in a month, and they were going on tour in five weeks to promote sales, and to gain recognition.
Second, her modeling career was also really big. She was in high demand, and with her CD coming out, everyone wanted her. In fact, just yesterday she was offered the chance to be on the cover of People Magazine. Ned was working on the details; hopefully it would go through.
Things were a bit strained at home, she was thinking of moving out. She knew it was only a few days until she was 17, and she was talking to Alexis about getting emancipation from her parents. Ever since the Michael incident, the house had been divided, and Grandfather was always grumpy because AJ was in jail, Jason was in the mob, and he still didn't have Michael.
~*~
Eve was a little bit under the weather. The morning sickness had gone away, but it came back. Technically it was night sickness, every night around eight o'clock she got sick, and a bit dizzy. Serena was really understanding about why Eve couldn't tuck her in for now, the prospect of new brothers and or sisters more than made up for it in her mind.
Scott had gotten over the initial shock that Eve was having twins. Now they just need names. They finally agreed that if it was two girls, they would each name one, same with if it was two boys, but if it were a boy and a girl, Eve would name the girl, and Scott would name the boy.
Eve liked the names Ariel Denise and Taylor Amanda.
Scott liked Kye Jerome and Scott Jr.
Today was the day they were going to find out. They were going to the doctor for a sonogram and to find out the sex, or sexes of the babies.
Dr. Newman put the cold gel on Eve bulging stomach. She moved the device around until she got a clear view.
"So you do want to know the sex of the babies right?" Dr. Newman asked, to make sure.
Eve and Scott looked at each other then answered at the same time, "Yes."
"Ok, well, this one in front, is a girl, and the one in back is . . . (she moves the device a bit) it's a boy." She announced. "Congratulations, one of each."
Scott looked at Eve; the look of pure joy was shining from her face.
~*~
Carly was working out in the gym Jason had set up for her, Emily, and the bodyguards.
The gym was really nice. It had high ceilings; it was really wide and long, with lots of windows for natural light. It had almost every piece of workout equipment known to man. And the newest addition was the gymnastic equipment Carly ordered for her and Emily. The gym was really big so the workout equipment only took up 1/5 of the gym. In the middle was a big floor mat like they use in gymnastic routines and a boxing ring. To the east there was the uneven bars, the north end had the trampoline, and the west had two balance beams.
Carly was glad the gym was empty except for Billy and Alec, the guards with her, she had some aggression she need to work off after Robin's visit. That little pixie bitch still got under her skin.
She put some music on the sound system, choosing her barenaked Ladies CD, then went over to the punching bag.
~*~*~*~*~*~
II met you
Before the fall of Rome
And I begged you
To let me take you home
You were wrong
I was right
You said goodbye
I said goodnight
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done before /I
~*~*~*~*~*~
She wrapped up her hands, stretched out, then starting jabbing the bag.
~*~*~*~*~*~
II knew you
Before the west was won
And I heard you say
The past was much more fun
You go your way
I'll go mine
But I'll see you next time
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done before
If I put my fingers here
And if I say "I love you, dear"
And if I play the same three chords
Will you just yawn and say
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done before /I
~*~*~*~*~*~
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was getting tired of people interfering in her life. She started punching harder, and added some kicks.
~*~*~*~*~*~
IAlone and bored
On a thirtieth-century night
Will I see you
On The Price Is Right?
Will I cry?
Will I smile?
As you run
Down the aisle
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done before
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done
Woo hoo hoo
It's all been done before /I
~*~*~*~*~*~
She hit and kicked the bag harder and harder, and by the time a few songs were done, she felt better. She was out of breath, but she felt much better. Carly showered and changed, then went back to the penthouse.
~*~
Jason cell rang just as he was about to go into Sonny's.
"Morgan." He answered
The voice on the other end sounded nervous, "Mr. Morgan, it's Darren, there's a problem with the shipment that was supposed to come in."
"What is it?"
"Well, it sort of disappeared."
"What do you mean it disappeared?" Jason demanded getting tense as he walked into Sonny's place.
"That's just it, it's gone. There's no trace that it ever existed." Darren reported, "It's the fifth shipment in three weeks."
"Why wasn't I notified of the other four?" He questioned, getting really annoyed.
"I've been on vacation, I guess my temporary replacement was either really stupid and didn't notice it, or he was in on it because he's suddenly disappeared."
"Damn. I want you to make sure this never happens again."
"Yes sir."
"I want you to notify me if it happens again, the minute it happens."
"I promise sir."
"You better." Then Jason hung up.
Sonny had heard the entire conversation since Jason walked in the door. "What happened?"
"One of our shipments has disappeared. It's the fifth one in three weeks. It looks like it was an inside job. The guy who'd been in charge was on vacation and his replacement for three weeks has disappeared too."
"Damn. It looks like someone's trying to challenge us." Sonny responded.
"Yeah, but who would be doing that. It's been established that we're in charge. We have everyone's backing. Who the hell is doing this?"
"I don't know, but I know it's not Moreno, he's been taken care of."
"What are we going to do?" Jason asks.
"We're going to have to wait till they make another move . . . "
