The Oceanfront
Chapter 19
"What are you doing here?" Mike asks stunnedthat his son was standing before him when he didn't want to see him earlier athis place.
Lettingout a heavy sigh, Sonny questions "You're living here now?" as he watches a woman who he assumed was Millie Mills AKAthe stripper his father got pregnant wrap her arms around Mike's waist
"Well money is kind of tight right now and this is where the mother of my child lives" Mike explains since he got kicked out ofhis own apartment for skipping out on the rent one too many times because helost big at the tracks
"Who's your friend honey" Millie asks
"You fucking know who I am" Sonny spats out; notliking her innocent act
"Watch your mouth Michael" Mike warns his sonsince he didn't like the way Sonny was talking to Millie. Sonny may have aright to be angry with him but not at Millie.
"How much did you make doing the deed with Mike?"
"That's uncalled for son!" Mike yells out
"Whatever Sorel is paying you I can assure you it's wasn't enough considering the risk you taken" Sonny remarks as a frown formsacross Mike's face.
~**~**~**~
"You know I always loved a challenge" Carlycomments as Jason makes himself comfy on the armchair that was by the couch
"What challenge?" Jason questions confused
"Didn't you just so boldly declare that you would make sure I wouldn't misbehave while Sonny was out doing God knows what?"
"It wasn't a challenge it's just a fact"
Smirkingat him, Carly goes on to say "You know that little file you probably read on me doesn't cover everything. Like for instance my kindergarten teacher thought she could keep me out of trouble. Boy was she wrong! I won't go into details but let's just say she didn't make it a full day before she went running out of the building screaming she was quitting
her job. She was a kindergarten teacher for twenty years and she quit after she met me as a child so what makes you think you can stop me as an adult?"
"You do know who I am, right?" Jason questionssince he dealt with far worse than Carly on a daily bases.
"I know who you are, but you don't know me. That file you and Sonny read doesn't even begin to cover who I really am. Now I'm going to count up to three and if you don't leave here I promise you Sonny will kick your ass when he gets home"
"Why would you think Sonny would kick my ass?" Jasonquestions confused
"Because I don't think Sonny would like the fact his best friend/number one hit man is about to see the naked breast of the mother of his unborn child. Do you?" Carly asks as her hands grab onto the edge ofher top
"You wouldn't dare" Jason remarks
"One…" Carly starts to count with a smirk acrossher face
"You know what fine! You win. I'm out of here"Jason remarks as he practically jumps out of the armchair he was sitting in andheads for the penthouse door "If you need me I'll be next door."
AsJason leaves the penthouse; shutting the door behind him Carly smiles as she
utters out to herself "The kindergarten teacher lasted longer than the hit man who would have thought it"
~**~**~**~
"What are you talking about?" Mike asks confusedas his son glared at Millie
"That bitch is working for Sorel!" Sonny spatsout
"I'm never met the man" Millie states as Miketurns his gaze onto hers.
"Oh but you have heard of him, but not me? That's funny because usually it's the other way around"
"I heard of Mr. Sorel because my boss does business with him but I never met the man" Millie insists
"Right. You're telling me Sorel never partook in the merchandise? That doesn't sound like him."
"If he has it wasn't with me" Millie statesfirmly
Turninghis gaze back onto his son Mike utters out "You owe Millie an apology son"
GivingMillie a deadly gaze Sonny spats out "You tell your boss that his plan has failed both times. Lenny Roberts is no longer in town and Mike is useless to him as he is to me. Oh and let him know he'll be seeing me really soon"
AsSonny storms away Mike lets out a heavy sigh before glancing back at Millie "I'm sorry about my son"
"Don't be. It's fine"
"No it's not fine. You didn't deserve that" Mikestates
"It's alright I heard worst at work" Millieremarks with a shrug
"It's not alright. You're a good person Millie and you deserve better" Mike smiles at her before leaning into her and kissingher.
~**~**~**~
Alittle while later Sonny walks inside the penthouse and spots Carly on the
couch reading one of his gun magazines "Why are you reading that magazine?"
"It was either guns or boats" Carly comments asshe tosses the magazine onto the coffee table "You know it wouldn't kill you to have a Vogue magazine"
"Do I look like a guy who would buy a Vogue Magazine?" Sonny questions back with a heavy sigh "But you have credit cards and a spending account to buy whatever magazine you want so if you want something just buy it"
Frowningwhen he doesn't see Jason anywhere in sight Sonny asks "Where's Jason?"
"Oh he left" Carly states with a grin across herface
"What?! What the hell do you mean he LEFT?!" Sonnyasks annoyed since he made it clear to Jason that he wanted Jason to stay withCarly.
"I mean he went back home"
"Unbelievable! What the hell did you do?" Sonnydemands
"Me?"
"Yes you! What did you do to Jason?!"
"I'm a cheerleader from Florida remember and Jason's supposedly the best hit man around. What do you think I could have possibly have done to him? I'm in crutches too might I remind you."
"So you're telling me you did nothing to Jason. He just took off for no reason?!"
"I did nothing to Jason. I have been sitting on this couch since you left me here"
"I'll be back!" Sonny growls out
"Bye" Carly laughs out as Sonny walks out of thepenthouse; slamming the penthouse door behind him.
~**~**~**~
Storminginto Jason's penthouse Sonny spots Jason shooting pool. Slamming the penthouse door shut Sonny demands "What the hell are you doing here?! I left you at my place to watch over Carly because Taggert stressed the hell out of her! She's pregnant and stress isn't good for the baby! Now you better have a fucking damn good explanation as to why you would disobey my orders and leave her alone at home!"
Lettingout a heavy sigh Jason tosses the pool stick he was using onto the pool table
before explaining "She threaten me"
"Are you fucking kidding me?! What the hell is wrong with all my men?! I swear all of you became useless the second she arrived in Port Charles! What the hell could she have possible threaten you with anyways for you to go running out of my penthouse like a little
girl?!" Sonny yells out as he makeshis way closer to Jason
"I didn't run out. I walked out" Jason clarifieswhich causes Sonny to shut him a deadly look…. "She threaten to flash me"
"She what!?" Sonny asks with a clench jaw
"She said if I didn't leave she was going to show me her naked breast so I left" Jason clarifies
"I'll be back" Sonny remarks as he storms out of the penthouse
~**~**~**~
Slammingthe penthouse door shut so Francis didn't overhear his conversation with Carly;
since he didn't want his men to gossip about him Sonny growls out "Don't you EVER threaten my men with your breast EVER again!"
"They're my breast I can show them to whoever I want" Carly grins as Sonny advances towards her; his body distraught withrage
"Like hell you can! Those breasts are for my eyes only!"
"My breasts are mine, and not yours. And trust me Sonny you will never see them again! I'm not making that mistake again"
Openingthe penthouse door Francis calls out "Boss Father Coats is here"
Sonnyfrowns a little as he watches Father Coats walk inside the penthouse since
their appointment was only at four this afternoon.
"Sorry to just stop by but I had a cancelation with another couple that lived nearby so I figured I would just come over here in see if you would like to have our first meeting here instead of at the church liked we planned" Father Coats explains as Francis shuts the penthouse door.
"Actually Father-" Sonny goes out to say only tobe interrupted by Carly
"That's fine Father. Please come in" Carlysmiles at him as Sonny gazes at her with a somewhat shocked expression acrosshis face.
AsFather Coats walks past Sonny and sits down on the other end of the couch Carly
says "I must say father I'm so happy you decided to stop by because we really do need your divine guidance"
"I'm happy to help in any way that I can." Father Coats smiles before noticing the
uneasy look across Mr. Corinthos face; which he found odd. "Mr. Corinthos are you alright?"
"I'm fine father" Sonny remarks as he sits down on the armchair that was by the couch;
trying to figure out what game Carly was playing since she was being so niceand polite with Father Coats
"Good. I'm so happy to hear it because I would be forever in your debt if you could explain to this jackass over here that I will NEVERMARRY his controlling ass!"
Lettingout a heavy sigh Sonny shakes his head as Father Coats looked on flabbergasted
at Carly's declaration. He had warned Father Coats ahead of time that Carlywasn't the typical bride but he hadn't exactly told him that Carly was opposedto marrying him.
"Carly is hormonal right now father. I apologize for her outburst"
"Hormonal?! If I was a hormonal you would be dead and Father Coats over here would be wondering what the hell he would have to say at your funeral!" Carly spats out annoyed that he was blaming herhormones for him being a jackass; acting like he owned her!
"Father, I'm really sorry about this. Carly didn't sleep well last night which is making her a little cranky right now."
"No what's making me a little "cranky" right now is this caveman thinking just because he knocked me up that it gives him the right to tell me how and where to live my life."
"Well I think you both have a lot of emotional needs to sort out which we won't be able to do obviously in one meeting but I do recommend that you and Mr. Corinthos get married and get lots of counselling. It is God's will after all that you and Mr. Corinthos are to be
joined because there is an innocent child involved"
"Oh what a bunch of bullshit!" Carly hisses out
"Carly! Enough!" Sonny hisses out angrily at thelanguage she's been using in front of Father Coats.
"You're right it is enough! I'm done with this shit!" Carly remarks as she hops off from the couch and heads towards thestaircase
AsCarly hops her way up the staircase Sonny apologies "I'm so sorry about this Father."
"It's uh…alright."
"I think we should make another appointment with you for another day when Carly is a little less… cranky"
"Yes, I think that would be a good idea" FatherCoats nods his head.

Afterkissing his wife goodbye as she went out to the country to club to socialize
with her girlfriends he quickly made his way into his study. Opening the safe
that was in the wall by his desk he pulls out a small piece of paper he had hid
inside years ago. Opening it open he prays the number still works as he presses
the numbers into his cellphone. After a few rings a grin forms across his face
as he hears her voice answering the phone…
****
"Dan?" the lady questions shocked since shehadn't heard from him in years.
****
"You have no idea how happy I am to hear your voice Virginia. I wasn't even sure this number would still work. I'm calling you about your daughter.
****
"Is she ill?" Virginia asks since Dan Robertswas one of the best doctors in Florida
****
"No she isn't ill and I guess you haven't heard but I'm no longer a doctor. I sold my practice against my wife's wishes a few years back and went in the cooperate business world. I now buy starter companies at a low cost and sell them for a huge profit" Dan informs her
****
"Oh that's shocking but great Dan. I'm happy for you but if my daughter isn't ill why are you calling me after all these years?"
****
"Because your daughter is in a world of trouble Virginia and I think now more than ever she needs her mom back in her life. I don't know if you heard but Frank went missing and rumor has it he's dead"
****
"I heard about Frank." Virginia whispers out; ahuge part of her had wanted to get onto a plane the second she heard the news soshe could give her give her daughter some comfort. The only reason why shedidn't was because she feared what Caroline's reaction would be to see herafter all these years apart. Besides she knew that Frank had told Caroline his
own version of what happened between them so she figured it was best to staygone from her life.
****
"Well on top of losing her dad she's now mixed up with a thug in Port Charles" Dan explains
****
"Wait she's in Port Charles?!" Virginia asks ina panic tone of voice since Caroline couldn't be anywhere near that place.
****
"Yeah that's what I said. She's pregnant with Sonny Corinthos's child and he lives in Port Charles" Dan informs her
****
"How long has she been in Port Charles Dan?!" Virginiaasks as she rushes towards her bedroom to get her suitcase that was in herbedroom closet
****
"I don't know. A few days I guess but Port Charles isn't the problem Virginia that gangster is the problem. He threatened to kill my son because he made an attempt to free her from his evil clutches." Danremarks since he got the impression Virginia was more upset over her daughterbeing in Port Charles over the fact she was carrying a gangster's child.
****
"No you don't understand Dan, Caroline can't be in Port Charles! I have to get her out of Port Charles before it's too late"Virginia states as she pulls out her suitcase from her closet
****
"Too late? What's going on Virginia? Why are you more upset over the fact Caroline's in Port Charles than the fact she's carrying Sonny Corinthos's child?"
****
"Thanks for the heads up Dan but I can't get into this with you right now. I've got to go to Port Charles and get my daughter out of there before it's too late!" After tossing the wireless phone onto herbed that was a few feet away from her Virginia grabs a bunch of dresses that
were in her closet and throws them into her suitcase. As she shuts her suitcaseshut she hears her phone starts to ring but ignores it knowing she didn't havetime to talk. She needed to drive to Port Charles as fast as she could. If sheleft now she would make it to Port Charles before nightfall.
****
"Wait- hello?!" hearing the dial tone Dan frowns as he silently wonders what the
hell was that about. Pressing the redial button on his cellphone Dan lets out afrustrated sigh when Virginia doesn't pick up. "Great" Dan mumbles outto himself as he silently wonders what the hell was going on. Having a feelingVirginia was heading to Port Charles Dan walks over to his laptop to bookhimself a flight to Port Charles.

Walkinginto Jason's penthouse, Sonny states "Father Coats just left. I never saw him leave the penthouse so fast before"
"I take it, it didn't go well" Jason remarkssince he could hear Carly from Sonny's penthouse so he already knew how well itwent.
"It sure as hell didn't go well because Carly was running her mouth off in front of Father Coats."
"At least she didn't threaten to flash her breast at him" As Sonny glares at him Jason lets out a heavy sigh. "I'm sorry it didn't go well with Father Coats but honesty did you think it would have considering Carly doesn't even want to live here"
"I know Carly is upset but she needs to get the hell over it! We're having a baby together and all I want to do is take care of my family! She acts like I'm trying to make her life hell when I'm just trying to do what's right by her and our child!"
"It's more than that though." Jason comments
"What?"
"Come on Sonny we both know that you have feelings for Carly that has nothing to do with the baby. You were hung up on her the whole time we were in Port Charles after Luke killed Savage in Carly's defense" Jason points out
"Yeah I felt a connection with Carly but she lied to me Jason and then tried to keep my child away from me with that loser friend of hers. If it wasn't for my baby I wouldn't want to have anything to do with Carly. You know I can't stand lies Jason. I can't even trust her to keep her shirt on in front of my men! So the only reason why I'm marrying her is because
she's carrying my child."
"If you say so" Jason remarks; although he knewSonny was lying to himself he may be mad at Carly for trying to keep his childaway from him but he also knew the feelings he had for Carly were stillthere.
"Hey! I mean it Jason! The only reason why I'm marrying her is because she's the mother of my child!" Sonny spats outannoyed
"Alright, I hear you loud and clear it's only because of the baby and not because you have any feelings for Carly whatsoever"Jason utters out before racking up the balls on his pool table
"Damn straight and don't you forget it!" Sonnyutters out with a clench jaw before storming out of his penthouse to talk toCarly about her behavior around Father Coats.
Asthe penthouse door slams shut behind Sonny, Jason silently wonders if he shouldlook for a much quieter place to live; like a room above Jakes
~**~**~**~
"Don't touch that!" Bobbie yells out to Lucas asshe catches him with the box she kept hidden under her bed.
Frowningat his mother, Lucas states "It's just a box. I was thinking about using it to make a skyscraper out of it for the city I'm building for my toy cars."
"It's not just a box Lucas! And you know better than to go into my room and touch my things without asking! Now give me that box and go play in your room"
"I'm sorry mom" Lucas mumbles out; notunderstanding why his mom was getting so upset over an old box that he neversaw her use before.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you Lucas it's just that it's important you don't touch my things unless you ask first"
"Okay mom" Lucas says as he hands his mom herbox.
AsLucas walks out of her bedroom Bobbie shuts the door closed before opening the
box to make sure everything was still inside of it. Opening the box a few teardrops roll down her cheeks as she sees the death certificate of her first bornchild AKA baby girl Caroline Spencer. Along with the only picture she had ofher daughter that she had taken before Luke had convinced her she was doing theright thing by giving up her daughter.
WhenBobbie came to her senses and went to claim her baby back she found out her
beautiful baby girl had died in her sleep. She was confused at first becauseher daughter was healthy but she was told her daughter had a bad heart;something the doctor had missed when she had given birth.
Apart of Bobbie had blamed herself for her daughter's death but she knewlogically even if she hadn't given up her daughter she would have died in hercare as well. She had also blamed Luke that he had robbed her out of being withher daughter the few days she had on this earth.
Ofcourse over time she had forgiven her brother since she knew Luke wasn't atfault either. He was her big brother and their life was hell during the timeshe had given birth to Caroline so he had only advised her on what he thoughtwas best for both her and Caroline at the time.
Makingher way over to her bed Bobbie shuts the box closed before placing it under her
bed again.
~**~**~**~
Storminginto their bedroom Sonny was about to give Carly hell for what she did with
Jason and then Father Coats but stops himself when he finds Carly sleeping intheir bed.
Lettingout a heavy sigh a small smile starts to form across his face as he watches
Carly sleeping peacefully in bed. If someone didn't know better they wouldthink Carly was an angle since she looked so innocent in her sleep. Not wantingto wake Carly up since the baby needed rest Sonny slowly walks back out thedoor. Sonny glances one last time at Carly before softly shutting the doorbehind him.

Walkinginto Sorel's office Millie locks eyes with her boss as she states "We have a problem"
"We sure as hell do have a problem! You're not supposed to be here! If Corinthos men spot you here your cover can be blown!" Sorelhisses out
"It's a little late for that!"
"What do you mean?"
"Sonny Corinthos stopped by my place and he knows I'm working for you"
"You didn't deny it?!"
"Of course I did but he didn't buy it! He knows this is a setup and I'm guessing sooner or later he's going to realize I'm not really pregnant either. So I'm here for the money you promise me so I can get the hell out of town before Sonny Corinthos decides to fit me with cement shoes" Millie states
"The deal was you were supposed to fool Corinthos into thinking you were carrying his brother or sister so you can get closer to him" Sorel spats out
"Well he figured it out and I want my money or I'm going to go see Sonny Corinthos myself and let him know everything I know about you!" Millie threatens in hopes that it will make Sorel pay up since sheknew she could bargain information she had on him with Mr. Corinthos
"That's not going to happen!" Sorel says as hepulls out his gun.
Seeingthe gun in Sorel's hand Millie turns around to make a run for it but before she
could even get out the door Sorel's gun goes off.
Watchingas Millie's body falls to the ground he stands up from his desk chair and walksover towards her body as some of his men coming rushing into his office athearing the gun go off.
"She's dead" one of Sorel's men utters outsoftly
"Good. I want this mess cleaned up by the time I get back" Sorel remarks before walking over her dead body
