Sorry that I changed this chapter, but I saw a better place for it to go.
A/N: Carly has already found out about Durant and realized he was only after Sonny, and Sonny already knows about Kristina, so all of the events that have happened still happened, just during a different story line.
Sage looked up at them furiously. "All my uncle ever did was love you, Carly, and now you let your husband kill him. He saved your life, and your baby's!"
Carly didn't even look up. She was at Jason's side, pleading with him to open his eyes. Sonny looked at his wife and best friend with regret. Why did his life always hurt those he loved most?
"Listen to your uncle, Sage. Don't get involved with this life. Get out of it while you still can," he whispered. "Go home."
"I'll get you Sonny Corinthos," she yelled before walking away.
When Sonny was sure she was gone, he bent down to where Carly was sitting. "Is he okay?" he asked, worried.
"I don't know," Carly said, tears streaming down from her face. "What are we going to do? We can't take him to the hospital. The police will have to do an investigation. This is too much, Ric won't let this slide."
Sonny picked up his cell phone and called his private doctor. "Yeah, Jason's been shot. We're on Pier 52, can you bring your helicopter?......... Great, see you in a little while."
Carly looked on anxiously as Sonny made another call. "Max, can you come pick Carly up at Pier 52?" Carly gave him a look, and he gave her another one which silenced her.
He hung up and Carly protested, "Sonny, I'm going with you and Jason. I'm worried about him too."
He shook his head. "You need to go back with the boys. Baby, the doctor told you no stress, remember?"
Carly gave in, something that was unusual for her, but she knew sonny was right. Max's car pulled up and Carly hugged him. "I love you," she said quietly.
She pulled away from him, but he pulled her close to him and kissed her passionately. It reminded her constantly of how much she loved him. "I love you, too. Give the boys my love." He hugged her tighter and then let her go. "I'll call you when I know something."
Carly stepped into the car, and after one last look, shut the door. She spent the rest of the ride crying. She didn't know what she would do if Jason were to die. Jason was her best friend, and Carly couldn't imagine life without him.
Carly reached her apartment door and the new doorman Santos said, "Mrs. Corinthos, your sister is waiting inside."
Carly was confused. She didn't have a sister, that she knew of. She wondered who had possibly fooled Santos into believing she was her sister. She opened the door and saw a blonde woman playing with Michael. "Who the hell are you?" she asked.
The woman turned her head and smiled, "You must be Carly, right? I'm Aaliyah."
"Yes, but I still don't know who you are. You wouldn't mind telling me would you, now that you've managed to enter my home and play with my son. People have tried this whole relative bit before, so let's cut to the chase. What do you want?" Carly asked.
"No you don't understand. I'm really your sister. We have the same father, John Durant," the woman replied.
Carly looked at her suspiciously. "Whether or not you're lying, you should know better than to try and use John Durant as a connection. That man is not my father, and therefore if you are telling the truth, you still are not my sister. Can I help you with anything else?"
"Look, I know you don't like John. I hate him, too. But I lived with an adoptive family my entire life. I didn't even know I was adopted until a short while ago, and when I found out I wanted to know my biological family. I met Durant and I disliked him right away, but he told me I had a sister. He mentioned you also disliked him, and I thought it would be worth my while to come and meet you. I have papers to prove it if you don't believe me," she told Carly and handed her the papers.
Carly looked them over and said, "Aaliyah, is it? I'll have Sonny look at these. Sonny Corinthos my husband," she added.
"Yeah, Durant mentioned that. He didn't seem to approve of it."
At the mention of Durant's feelings on Sonny, Carly was angered, and started to run her mouth. "That bastard. The only reason he even wanted to get to know me was because I was connected to Sonny. Did you know he used to be a federal prosecutor? He pretended he wanted a relationship so her could get closer to Sonny. And then he got Sonny arrested while he was trying to win custody of his daughter, right when it was most essential for him to have a clear record. I just cannot stand that man," she fumed.
The phone rang just then, and Carly rushed to pick it up, hoping it was Sonny with news about Jason. It was, and she answered anxiously.
Michael watched her. He could sense his mother's uneasiness, and wondered what was wrong. He hated when he didn't know what was going on, but adults always told him it was business, or that he would understand it when he was older.
"Mommy, what happened?" he asked.
"Nothing, Mr. Man. It's just business." Michael sighed as Carly yelled to Letecia that she was leaving. Then she said, "Um, Aaliyah, I have to go. Can you come by tomorrow at around four? Or you can wait here if you want, but I don't know how long I should be."
Once at Sonny's hospital, hidden within one of his safehouses, Carly ran to find Jason. A doctor led her to his room, but told her she couldn't go in. He was sleeping, and he was hooked up to a thousand machines, or at least that's what it seemed like to Carly. She hated seeing him like this. She smiled when she felt Sonny's hand take his. "How is he?" she asked him.
Sonny hesitated. He didn't want to tell her this, but he knew he was the only one she'd want to hear it from. "Carly, honey, maybe you better sit down."
