A/N: First I want to appoligize that it took so long my mom is in the hospital. I'm sorry for the short chapter but this is most of what I had before she went in. I think it will be at least a week before I post again. But I wanted to get this part of the story out there.

Ok note on the story line. I've rearranged a few things in the timeline of the show and where they happened. Just stretching out the time between events in order to keep them in the outlying story. I do not own GH or the characters

"What are you doing here?" He asked gathering his things to go to the hospital for another chance to talk to Dante. This might be the last before he went to trial.

"Sonny, where are you going?" Olivia asked even though she knew full well that Sonny was going to see Dante the man had not given up on trying to force himself at his son.

"To see Dante." Sonny answered figuring it might give him an answer to his question. "And you are here because?"

"You need to leave Dante alone." Olivia said. "No don't say anything. Just listen today when I stopped by his room Lulu was trying to at least find a way for you two to coexist. She isn't going to force the issue cause when she started Dante took all that anger that he has for you and directed it at her."

"Is he ok? What about Lulu?" Sonny asked he never meant to come between the two of them. He knew that Lulu wouldn't fight for Sonny to have a relationship with Dante but would protect his son from everything including his own stubbornness.

"They'll work it out. You butting heads like this with Dante is not going to work. You let him come to you. He's stubborn and the harder you push the harder he'll push back." Olivia said not wanting to give Sonny any information on her son but knowing that she had to keep this man away from her son while recovering. For everyone's sake.

"Liv, I'm just trying to get to know him it's not my fault that he decided to fight with Lulu." Sonny said denying any fault as usual.

"Look, your son decided to start spouting words that even you would have beat him up for. The way he treated her was not the way I raised him and not the way he would normally act. Between the stress of him recovering and you shoving yourself down his damn throat he's fighting a losing battle to recover. Now for the sake of Dante I'm going to ask this just once. Leave him alone and let him come to you." Olivia said knowing if Sonny said anything in response besides ok she would have to take some serious action.

Sonny looked at Olivia in disbelief. She couldn't be serious about what she was asking. He couldn't turn his back on a son that already hated him. He opened his mouth to say something and then quickly shut it at Olivia's glare. He sighed best to give her what she wants for now, but not without some consideration. "One condition." He said.

"I don't know that you're in the position to make deals. But I'll consider it." Olivia said knowing that if she didn't hear Sonny out then he would never agree.

"When he's recovered I want you to do me the favor of telling me and if I'm in jail then you make him visit me just once. Just so I can have one last attempt at trying to know my son." Sonny said knowing he would have one last chance then he would back down.

"I'll do what I can but you need to stay away." Olivia said knowing that it would be impossible to get her son to visit his father in jail without kidnapping him and forcing him to go. That was something she would worry about if Sonny kept his promise and if he went to jail.

(Across town at General Hospital)

God Dante hated that he was mad at her. He didn't want to be but the whole subject of his father had him on fire. He took a deep breath, Lulu was right, not about his father, but that if she was going to stand by her then she deserved some input. Why was he letting this man come between them, it wasn't what he wanted. He hadn't heard back from her since he had text her. Sure he had talked to Maxie but the only thing he knew for sure was that Lulu was seriously upset. Maxie wouldn't tell him where she was just that she had gone to have lunch with someone. Then before she started in on him about what his intentions were Dante hung up and tried Lulu's cell. Apparently it wasn't on her so he left her several messages and ended up texting her. Why couldn't she answer? Who was she with? It was killing him that he had caused everything bad in this situation. Hearing a noise in the doorway he looked up. "Hey come here," he said patting the bed next to him. He almost couldn't believe his eyes there was Lulu standing in his doorway. She moved into the room but didn't sit. He sighed because he could see how hurt she was in her eyes this was something that he had to fix, he hadn't meant to put that hurt in her eyes.

"You okay?" Lulu asked.

"Yeah, how about you?" Dante asked trying to keep the mood light. "Been trying to get a hold of you to tell you something."

"What another one of your cheesy pick up lines?" Lulu asked stoning herself for the response that she expected.

"You're right" he said looking in her eyes "You're right that if you're going to stand by me that you should have some input. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions. Forgive me?" He asked he knew that he couldn't blame her for wanting him safe since he was staying in town.

She couldn't hide the shock that passed over her face, Lulu was surprised that he wasn't mad at her like she thought he would be. She had thought for sure that he would be yelling at her to leave and never come back or telling her that they shouldn't be together ever. Sure she was happy that she wasn't but she didn't know if they could get past this hurdle in their relationship. "I don't know. I'm still trying to wrap my head around what happened. "

"I shouldn't have gotten that angry with you. You were just trying to keep me safe, and I took anger that should have been directed at someone else and put it towards you." Dante reached out to take her hand but she wouldn't reach back. "What can I do to make this better?" he asked realizing she wasn't going to make this easy.

"Accept my apology for pushing the subject before you were fully healed." She said knowing full well that the whole argument had started because she hadn't been able to bite her tongue any longer. Just sitting there and watching the stress he was putting himself through had been enough. She had let the Sonny idea slip at least it had been her least controversial opinion. There were so many ideas in her head because she couldn't stand seeing Dante being torn apart by this anymore.

"I'm going to quote you on this 'I'm not that fragile'. I think was how you put it. "Dante knew that she probably wouldn't give up on this but at least he knew she wasn't siding with his father. She just worried about him. That amazed him that she had put their relationship on the line because she felt this was that important for him.

"You almost died, you're a little fragile." Lulu said.

Dante pulled her in and gave her a knee weakening kiss. "I'm getting stronger by the hour." He said with that certain twinkle in his eye. "So our first fight…"

"Yeah. Our first fight." Lulu said smiling at him.

"Really cause I was hoping for some hot make-up…" Dante started lustily.

"Oh you can stop right there. One kiss and I almost killed you." She laughed knowing that no matter what had happened that they were now okay. He had returned to his usual flirtatious self.

"Yeah but what a way to go, wrapped in your arms our lips touching."

"Tell you what when you're all better then you can pick a fight just for that reason" Lulu said figuring he would forget before he got released.

"Promise?"

"Promise"

Dante pulled her in for another kiss. Suddenly there was a clearing of a throat. They pulled apart and saw that Luke Spencer was standing there.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" Lulu asked

"Well I figured I'd check on Dante since I was already here."

"Thank you" Dante said.

"Already here?" Lulu asked.

"Lucky brought Elizabeth in. He called and said he needed to talk."

"Why is Lucky with her?" Lulu asked, well in truth she spat out.

"I don't know. I haven't been over to see them yet I came here first. "

"He asked you to talk to him" Lulu stated. She couldn't believe that Sonny would stoop so low as to ask her father to talk to Dante.

"No he didn't. He did ask my advice about how to connect with you Dante. I simply told him that every situation is different. I thought that Dante might like to know the reason why is because he doesn't think he has much time and would like to know his son, not convince him of anything but just know him." Luke said not even pausing to see if they wanted to hear anything. Luke had a sinking feeling that if Dante was anything like his daughter then he was stubborn to a fault and wouldn't want to hear any of it. Luke figured if he tossed it out there even if it fell on deaf ears it was at least out there. "I'm going to find your brother" Luke kissed his daughter on the head and left the room.

"Bye Dad." Lulu said as he left. She didn't know if she believed what he said, there was definitely some alternative motive up Sonny's sleeve.

"You believe him?" Dante asked after a few minutes. He had tried to tune it out but couldn't.

"I believe that Sonny told him exactly those words. Whether Sonny was being truthful or not is another question." Lulu said confident that her dad wasn't trying to gain an upper hand here. She stared distractedly at the door wondering what was up Sonny's motive and why talk to her dad.

A/N: Spoiler: I am not going to put Luke and Lucky's conversation about elizabeth in the next chapter. It would flow the same I just changed the location so that I could put Luke at the hospital because I don't see him going to visit Dante unless he had an excuse or he was already there. Reviews are always welcome.

I'll update as soon as I can. I'm still trying to write while at the hospital but am distracted.
