The Oceanfront
Chapter 6
"Pregnant?!" Sonny questions out shocked at Jason's statement since the last time he laid eyes on her she looked skinny as a stick. "How pregnant can she possibly look?!"
"She's not showing" Jason comments which cause Sonny to frown at his declaration
"I'm confused. Does she look pregnant or not?!"
"Not" Jason simply asserts to an annoyed looking Sonny
"Then why the hell did you say she looked pregnant?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Sonny yells out to him since he didn't understand why Jason would say such a thing.
Letting out a heavy sigh Jason goes on to explain "I don't think she's far along in her pregnancy to be showing yet. When I arrived at the apartment Carly's staying at she wasn't home. Her roommate Lenny was there though and he mentioned that Carly had a doughnut craving which is why she wasn't at her apartment when I got there"
"Saying you're craving for something doesn't mean you're pregnant Jason" Sonny spats out aggravated that Jason got him all worked up over a stupid saying.
As Sonny walks towards the mini fridge that was in his hotel room Jason goes on to say "I found a pregnancy test in the washroom trashcan" as Sonny gazes back at him with an intense look across his face he goes on to inform him "It was positive Sonny"
"Are you sure?!" Sonny demands
"Yeah" Jason nods before going on to explain "I've seen that kind of pregnancy test before when I got a pregnancy scare a few years back from a woman I had a few flings with. Thankfully her pregnancy test turned out to be negative but that test in the Carly's apartment trashcan was a positive result Sonny."
Walking back towards him Sonny demands "Did you ask Carly about it?"
"I did. She says the pregnancy test belonged to her roommate's girlfriend"
"But you don't buy it?" Sonny asks back
"No. I don't. I think she's lying because she doesn't want you to know she's carrying your child" Jason proclaims
Shaking his head Sonny walks past him and opens the door. Opening the door he storms
out of his hotel room.
Making his way out of Sonny's hotel room Jason shuts the door behind him as he follows his friend down the hallway as Sonny headed straight for the elevator that was a few feet away from his room.
"Are you sure you're going to be alright?" Lenny questions as he stands nears the door not really wanting to leave her alone after he found out that his friend was pregnant with Sonny Corinthos child and was planning on raising her baby alone.
"I'll be fine. Go to work." Carly calls out to him from her spot on the couch.
"If you need anything just call me" Lenny goes on to say as he opens their apartment door
"I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. Now go before your boss gets mad at you for being late" Carly states
"Alright, alright I'm going" Lenny remarks as he walks out their apartment and shuts the door behind him.
Letting out a heavy sigh Carly blinks her eyes shut and fights back her tears as she
whispers out to her unborn child "You wanna know a secret little one? Despite everything that has happened and even though I hardly knew him I miss your father which is completely crazy, right? How does a sane woman miss a man who caused so much pain who she hardly knew to begin with?" Letting out a heavy sigh Carly goes on to say "I'm sorry you're never going to get to know your daddy baby but it's for the best. No matter how much your father may try he could never keep us truly safe. I put my trust in him once and it cost me my father I won't do it again. I can't lose you too. You're the only family I have left and I will protect you at any cost."
As they sat in the backseat of the limo for the last half hour or so Jason breaks the silence between them as he states "We could always come back later if you need time to think. I left Carly's apartment letting her believe that she had fooled me so she wouldn't skip town on you."
"I don't need time to think. I know what I have to do. A better man would just walk away but sadly I'm not that man Jason. I know the life we're in is dangerous but I can't walk away from my child and I won't." Sonny declares
"We live a dangerous life but other families do too it in the mob. It's not ideal but I know you'll keep them safe Sonny. Security will have to change at the penthouse but that's easily done. I'll make sure that guards will be posted everywhere in Harbor View Towers."
"Yeah" Sonny sighs out. Opening the limo's door Sonny goes on to say "Let go get my family and bring them home"
As she hears someone knocking on her apartment door Carly calls out thinking it was the pizza guy bringing her, her order "It's open. Come in" As the door opens her eyes turn into anger as she sees Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan standing at her door instead of the pizza guy. "GET OUT!" Carly orders out to them in a lethal tone of voice.
"I'm not going anywhere" Sonny declares as he walks inside the apartment she's been staying at since Carly left his safe house a month ago.
As she gazes at him the part of her that missed him ever since she left the safe house wished he would come over to her and kiss her but of course she ignored the part of her that longed to be with him. Instead she focused on the part that hated his guts for breaking his word to her about keeping her father safe from Savage. "I warned Jason if you or your men showed up here again I would call the cops and have you or your men arrested for trespassing and I plan to make good on that threat if you and Jason don't get the hell out of my apartment NOW!"
Grabbing the pink cell phone that was on the coffee table Sonny shoves her cellphone in his pocket as he states while Jason shut the apartment door shut "Go ahead and try. I dare ya"
"I don't need my cell phone to call the cops Sonny. I have a home phone line" Carly remarks as she points towards the mounted phone on the wall near the couch.
"So call" Sonny dares her as Jason walks over towards the phone and hands the receiver to Carly.
Grabbing the phone receiver as Jason dials 911 for her Carly eyes darken with rage. Realizing the phone line was dead as she places the phone receiver onto her ear. Hissing out to them as she tosses the phone onto the couch beside her on the couch knowing they were behind the phone line being dead Carly gives them a deadly glare … "Bastard's!"
"So now that we're done with the threats how about we get down to business and get down to the reason why I'm here"
"I already told Jason and your other goons that I don't want your money! And I don't need the damn cops to get rid of you either! I can do it myself. I'm warning the both of you if you don't leave now I'll grab my crutches and shove them up your tight asses!" Carly threatens
"As much as I find your little threats cute I'm not in the mood for them" Sonny states as he places his hands onto his hips
"Cute? YOU think my threats are CUTE?!" Carly asks back as she tries to reach for her crutches to show Sonny just how "cute" she could be only to be stopped from doing so as Jason grabs her crutches
before she could that were leaning against the coffee table and walks away from her and the couch.
As Jason places her crutches against the wall by the doorway Carly declares "Paying me off won't
wash away the blood on your hands"
"And lying to me won't make me go away. It just makes me angrier" Sonny proclaims
"Lying to you? What the hell are you talking about?"
"MY child you're trying to keep away from me. You are pregnant with my baby aren't you?!" Sonny spats out
Looking towards Jason who was also starring at her Carly utters out "I'm not pregnant"
"And I warned you the first day I met you that I don't like LIES!" Sonny yells out to her which causes Carly to look back at him
"The pregnancy test wasn't mine! I told Jason it belonged to my roommate's girlfriend which is why my roommate Lenny isn't here right now. He's with his pregnant girlfriend trying to figure out what they're going to do"
"And Jason doesn't believe you and neither do I. You're a proven liar Carly but don't you worry your bad habit of lying will change under my roof."
"I'm NOT pregnant and I would sleep under a bridge with a troll before I EVER lived under your roof" Carly insists as she locks eyes with him
"FINE! You want to keep up with your lies then guess what sweetheart you're going to have to put your money where your mouth is because I'm not leaving here until you do"
"Excuse me?" Carly asks back
Pulling out a small brown paper bag from his pants pocket Sonny tosses it at Carly. Watching her open the bag and pulling out a pregnancy test from it Sonny goes on to ask "How far are you willing to go before you admit the truth? Because if you don't tell me right now what Jason and I already know that stick is going to tell the truth for you"
Chewing on her lower lip as she gazes at the home pregnancy test Sonny tossed at her Carly felt her heart sink a little. He had called her bluff and she had no idea how the hell she was going to pull off her lie now.
"What are you waiting for?" Sonny asks as Carly just stares down at the home pregnancy test chewing on her lower lip knowing that Jason was right about Carly being pregnant because Jason could always tell when someone was lying.
"Once this test proves I'm NOT pregnant I want you out of my life for good. I don't ever want to see you again" Carly remarks back as she looks away from the pregnancy test that was in her hands.
"Once this test proves you're a liar you're coming home with me back to Port Charles" Sonny replies back, shocked at how far Carly was willing to go with her lies knowing the pregnancy test was going to reveal the truth. Most people would have caved by now and fessed up but obviously Carly was sticking to her lie no matter what.
Making his way towards the couch he tries to help her off the couch only to be rebuff as Carly pushes his hands away from her before leaping off the couch and hopping her way towards the washroom with the pregnancy test in hand.
As Carly slams the washroom door behind her Sonny makes his way towards the apartment
front door as he hears someone knocking on it. Opening the door he glances at the pizza guy "I'm sorry
to tell you but you wasted a trip" Pulling out a wad of cash he goes on to say as he places a hundred dollar bill on top of the pizza box that was in his hands "Keep the change and the pizza"
Seeing a hundred dollar bill place on the pizza box he smiles as he states "No problem and thanks."
Shutting the door he glances towards Jason as he orders out "Call Benny and tell him we're heading back home and by the time we get there I want Harbor View Towers covered with our men guarding the place"
"Okay" Jason states with a nod as he pulls out his cell phone to make the call as Sonny shoved the rest of his money back into his pocket.
As the minutes ticked by as they waited for the results for her pregnancy test Sonny eyes stayed glued on Carly as she sat on the couch glaring back at him with her hands crossed over her chest. He knew that Jason was right that Carly was carrying his first born child but he felt like a nervous wreck inside as he
silently wonders how the hell he was going to pull off being a father. The situation was hardly ideal. The mother of his child hated him and she had every right to. He knew that keeping Carly and their unborn child safe wasn't impossible but it wouldn't be as easy as Jason seemed to think it would be, especially with Carly as a mother. She was a risk taker. She had proven that by going behind Savage's back and saving his life which only meant she would be trouble for him. She was also a liar which meant he couldn't trust her which ideally he would need to do because trust was everything in his world. Carly
was the type of woman that could easily get herself killed in his world which made his job that much harder to keep her safe but he would do whatever it takes to keep his family safe from his enemies because he wouldn't allow anyone to take away his family from him.
As the timer dings Sonny remarks "Time to face to music Carly"
"Go ahead I have nothing to hide"
"You're really going to keep on lying until the very end aren't ya?" Sonny comment as he shakes his head while making his way towards the washroom where Carly left the pregnancy test.
Walking up behind Sonny as he picks up the pregnancy test from off the counter in the
washroom Jason asks "So what does it say?"
"It's negative." Sonny responds shocked.
