The Oceanfront
Chapter 32
Leaning against the wallsit was hard for him to fight back the tears but he did it. He didn't want tocry; not in public anyways. He knew it was doubtful that his unborn childsurvived the crash so all he could do was pray for Carly to make it out aliveand pray for the strength to be strong enough to tell Carly something no fathershould have to tell the mother of their child that their baby was dead.
Rushing into the emergencyroom Jason spots Sonny wearing a blood stained shirt. His heart broke for Sonnyas he locked eyes with him. He could tell that Sonny was hardly keeping ittogether by just one look. And he couldn't blame him. Once news reached himthat, the bastard who had kidnapped Carly ran a red light and crashed intoanother truck his heart sunk inside of his chest. He couldn't imagine theheartache Sonny must have felt when he found Carly's body in the wreckage.
"I'm sorry" Jason simply tells Sonny; knowing there was no word in the Englishlanguage that could give his friend comfort right now
"She was so lifeless" Sonny softly tells Jason… "I thought she was dead when I accidently came upon the crash site. There was blood everywhere but somehow she still managed to hold on. The medic called it a miracle that she survived considering how damaged the van was"
"She's a fighter"
"How am I supposed to tell Carly our baby is gone?" Sonny asks with a single tearstreaming down his face despite his best efforts not to cry "How am I supposed to break her heart like that?"
"I didn't realize the baby died. I'm so sorry man" Jason remarks as he placeshis hand over Sonny's shoulder
"It hasn't been confirmed yet, but I don't see how in the world the baby could have survived that crash. The van was a wreak Jason the bastard who kidnapped Carly drove past a red light and hit a fucking truck!"
"You don't have to tell Carly the bad news. I can break it to her for you" Jasonoffers since he wanted to fix it for Sonny but if he couldn't he could at leastbe the one to deliver the bad news so if Carly lashed out at anyone she wouldlash out at him and not Sonny who was grieving as well.
"No, that's my baby so it's up to me to tell Carly the baby didn't make it" Sonnystates as his lip quivers
"Mr. Corinthos" the doctor calls out his name as he walks towards him and JasonMorgan
"How's Carly?" Sonny demands praying nothing more went wrong since he couldn't loseCarly after he just lost his unborn child the pain would be too much to bear.
"She has a broken arm. We stitched up her thigh that was bleeding and she has a lot of bruises but you're fiancé is going to be fine. I don't know if you're a religious man Mr. Corinthos but if you ask me God was protecting her because it's a miracle she survived that crash and it's an even bigger miracle your
unborn child did too. Her blood pressure is high but we gave her medication to bring it down."
"Wait the baby is still alive?" Sonny questions stunned as a smile appears acrosshis face since he couldn't see how with all the blood he saw that the babycould have survived the crash.
"Yes he's a fighter like his mother" the doctor grins
"He? The baby is a boy?"
"I'm sorry I didn't know you weren't aware. Yes you're having a son Mr. Corinthos, congratulations."
"Wow" Sonny remarks stunned
"Congratulations" Jason grins at him happy for both Sonny and Carly that their baby hadsurvived against all odds.
"Can I see her now?" Sonny asks since he needed to see Carly so much right now.
"The nurse was wheeling her bed up to her room as I left to speak to you. She's on the second floor in room 258."
"Thank you doctor" Sonny smiles at him before rushing towards the elevator to go bewith Carly.
Sitting down by Carly'sside Sonny grins as he hears both Carly and the baby's heart rate on themonitors.
Placing his hand onto herbelly as Carly slept in her hospital bed Sonny softly says "I don't know how your mama did it son but your mama manage to do the impossible and keep you safe inside of her. I-I thought I had lost you but I'm so happy I was wrong and you fought to stay alive. I know you've already been through so much already and you haven't even joined us yet but daddy promises you things will get better. I'm not going to let mama out of my sight. What happened today will never happen again, it can't. I can't lose either one of you and I won't. "
~**~**~**~
Fighting back a moan at thepain he was feeling from his wound Jason makes his way down the hallway wherethe nurse's station told him where Dan Roberts room was. As he arrives towardsDan's room he hears a woman shriek out….
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Not my husband too!"
A nurse looks eyes with himas she leaves the room. Glancing inside the room Jason spots Lenny Roberts
holding what he assumed was his mother in his arms as a sheet covered DanRoberts body.
"It's going to be okay ma" Lenny cries out as they both cried in tears over theloss of Dan Roberts.
Going unnoticed by eitherof them Jason quietly turns around and makes his way towards Carly's room
pleased that at least Dan Roberts would no longer be a threat to Sonny andCarly's baby. Lenny would be dealt with another day he was sure by Sonny'sorders.
~**~**~**~
Walking past a nurse as sheleft Carly's room Jason informs Sonny whose eyes hadn't left Carly's sleeping
body "Johnny just called me and reassured me all the men are looking into finding out who the kidnapper was working for. I'm pretty sure its Savage's old crew but we want to make sure no one else is
trying to strike at you. I told him he was needed here to guard Carly's room so he's on his way over here. I know you're not crazy about Johnny watching Carly but I think he learnt his lesson when it comes to Carly."
"Its fine Johnny can guard Carly" Sonny remarks; since the guard wasn't necessaryanyways since he didn't plan on leaving Carly's side. IF someone was going todare to go after Carly and his unborn child again they would have to kill himfirst.
"The heart beats sound strong" Jason comments
"That's what the nurse said. She was stunned by how well both Carly and the baby are doing. She called it a miracle. I just wish she would wake up so I could hear her voice and look into her beautiful eyes again but I guess it's good that's she's still resting"
"Don't worry she will be up and driving you crazy in no time at all" Jason smirks
"I can't wait" Sonny grins out since he would welcome any craziness Carlybrought into his life as long as she stayed safe.
"And you'll have one less person to worry about because Dan Roberts just succumbed to his injuries so he's no longer a threat to the family." Jason updatesSonny since he knew Sonny needed to know that Dan Roberts was dead.
"Lenny Roberts could still be a problem" Sonny points out since that bastard wasstill alive and breathing
"Hopefully Carly learnt her lesson and won't ever speak to him again but we can always deal with him and make it look like an accident. You give me the word and I'll make it happen" Jason promises since he wouldn't allow Lenny to hurt Carlyagain
"I hope to God she now sees it was a mistake to trust the Roberts family. One thing is for damn sure I will never allow Lenny Roberts anywhere near Carly or my son ever again"
As Jason sits himself downin one of the chairs by the wall Sonny hears him let out a small groan.Removing his eyes from off Carly for the first time since he arrived in Carly'sroom he tells Jason "It means a lot to me that you came here but you're still recovering yourself. You should be at the safe house resting"
"I'm fine and I want to be here for both you and Carly" Jason states since heneeded to be here almost as much as Sonny did. He wasn't in love with Carly butCarly had become a friend of his; someone he saw as family and when his familyneeded him he would be there for them.
"Alright"Sonny nods; knowing that Jason could be just as stubborn as him when he set hismind to something
~**~**~**~
A little while later Jasonstands up from his chair as he states "I'm going to get us some coffee. Do you want anything else?"
"No I'm good" Sonny remarks as he held Carly's hand in his.
Truth be told what heneeded Jason couldn't give to him right now. The only person who could wasCarly.
As Jason walks out ofCarly's hospital room Sonny softly says "I know that I should be content with just knowing that you and the baby made it out alive but I'm a selfish man. It's not enough to hear the doctors tell me you're going to be okay. I need to hear your voice again. I need you to wake up and look at me. I know you don't like it when I give you orders even if it's for your own good so I'm going to ask you instead to please wake up for me… Please…Carly please wake up sweetheart"
Letting out a heavy sighwhen she doesn't wake up Sonny utters out "It's okay, take all the time you need. I'll be here when you wake up"
~**~**~**~
Walking towards theelevator doors with two cups of coffee in his hands Jason lets out a smallgroan as he spots Lenny Roberts making his way towards him.
"I heard Carly is here, is she alright?! The clowns at the nurses' station won't tell me anything"
"Carly isn't your problem in fact if you were smart you would get the hell out of here and never speak of her again"
"Carly is my best-"
Cutting him off Jason spatsout "Best friend?! With friends like you she sure as hell doesn't need enemies! You lured her out of a safe place and into a trap! You and that bastard father of yours almost cost Carly her life and IF I ever see you look her way again you'll be joining your father in hell!"
"How dare you speak about my father like that! He was trying to protect Carly and he died doing so!"
"No he died because he was a manipulating bastard that got himself and others around him way over his head! And I'm going to tell you one last time don't go near Carly again, don't even say her name! Because if I find out you did either one of those things I'll kill you" Jason spats out which causes Lenny to peeinto his pants.
Letting out a groan as hewatches this fool pee into his pants Jason walks away from him and walks intothe open elevator door as a nurse wheels a person out who was in a wheelchair
~**~**~**~
Hearing a small moan Sonnyeyes shoot up from her belly where their son laid safely inside towards her
beautiful face as she blinks her eyes opens "Hey" Sonny grins at her; overjoyed to seeher looking back at him again
"Sonny"Carly calls out his name softly in a confused tone of voice… "What? Where am I?"
"You were in an accident. You're at a hospital now but you're safe." Sonnyexplains
"Oh god the baby! What about the baby?!" Carly asks in a panic tone of voice asshe sits up with a moan
"Hey, hey, hey calm down the baby is fine. I don't know how but you're a miracle you kept him safe. Listen you can hear his heart beat its strong" Sonny stateswith a huge smile across his face.
"His?"Carly questions with a small smile as she hears the heart beating on themonitor
"Yeah we're having a boy" Sonny tells her as he leans into her a places a kissagainst her forehead… "We're going to have a son"
"I can't believe we're going to have a son" Carly smiles as tears stream downher face
"I could hardly believe it myself when the doctor told me" Sonny tells her ashe reaches out and wipes away her tears
"I'm sorry Sonny. I know you must be furious with me. We almost lost him and it was all my fault" Carly cries out
"I wasn't happy when I found out you ditched the guards but all that matters to me right now is that you and our son are okay."
"All I could think about is how stupid I was to trust them and how scared I was that I would never see you again." Carly admits.
"I was scared too" Sonny confesses "I didn't know where I was going but all I knew was that I had to find you and when I came upon the accident I felt like my heart had stopped. I thought that you died for a split second and for that split second I wasn't sure if I could survive without you."
"Because of the baby right?" Carly questions since she knew Sonny knew the babycouldn't survive if she had died.
"Hey Son- Carly you're awake. Hey, how are you feeling?" Jason questions as hewalks into her hospital room.
"I'm a little sore but I'll survive. What about you? The last I heard you were shot, so shouldn't you be in bed somewhere resting?" Carly smiles at him as Sonnylooked relieved he was saved by Jason from answering her which answered herquestion.
It hurt her more than shewanted to admit that even after all of this she still was just the mother ofhis child and nothing more because when she was kidnapped it made her realizedthat she had somehow fallen for Sonny Corinthos despite her best efforts notto. Hell she was pretty sure she had fallen for him the second she laid eyes onhim when she saved his life from Savage. She just didn't want to admit it toherself because love scared her.
"Don't worry about me I'm fine" Jason states
"Could you get the doctor for me Jason? I want Carly to be check out now that she's awake"
"Sure thing" Jason nods as he silently wonders why Sonny just didn't want to pushthe red button to call a nurse instead. After placing the coffee cups he washolding on the small table in front of Carly's bed Jason made his way back outthe door to find a doctor.
"No"Sonny answers her as Jason leaves the room
"What?"
"It wasn't just because of the baby. It was because of you too. It was never just because of the baby." Sonny states since he was tired of hiding his feelingsfrom her especially since he came so close to losing her… "You matter to me"
"You matter to me too" Carly confesses with a small sob
Leaning into her yet againSonny kisser her once more but this time on the lips as she lets out a moan heslips his tongue into her mouth and kisses her more deeply.
