The Oceanfront
Chapter 33
"As I told Mr. Corinthos earlier it's a miracle you and your son survived the crash. I'm an amazing doctor but I have to admit that God had to play a role in both of your survivals. I'm pleased to say your blood pressure is much lower than it was earlier so the medication is doing its job. However you and the baby are not out woods. You really need to avoid stress at any cost."
"I will" Carly promises as Sonny kisses herforehead. "Really hate I have to wear this thing?" Carly comments as she glances at her cast
"It's only for six weeks by then it should be healed"
"When can we discharge Carly from the hospital?" Sonnyquestions since he'd rather take Carly back home to Port Charles than to keepher here in Florida. It was safer at home since the problems in Florida weren't
dealt with yet and as good as Jason was nothing was guaranteed to be resolvedanytime soon
"It's a miracle both mother and child survived the crash. I don't want Carly leaving anytime soon. Carly needs plenty of rest and no more stress." Hearing his name on the intercom the docgoes on to say "I have to go but I will be back in here to check on both you and the baby later before my shift ends."
As the doctor walks out of herhospital room Carly questions "Are the baby and I still in danger being in Florida? I know you didn't want me to come here in the first place because of the danger so I was just wondering if the danger is still here or has it been resolved by your men?"
With a heavy sigh Sonny states…"You just heard what the doctor said Carly no more stress. I don't want you to worry about the danger. Johnny is standing guard and I'm not going anywhere. No one is going to hurt you or our son; not on my watch."
"I know you're going to keep us safe and I promise I won't ditch my guards ever again I
learnt my lesson Sonny. I'm just sorry I almost cost us our baby. I should have listen to you and I'm so sorry I didn't" Carlycries out feeling horrible how close she came to losing their unborn son just
because she was stupid enough to believe in a "friend" Sonny had warned her tostay away from.
"Hey, no more tears, no more stress. I know you love our baby and you regret leaving Port Charles over lies that were told to you." Sonny states as he wipes her tears away with his hand. Leaning into herSonny whispers out "I'm just thrilled you and our son are going to be okay. We're good"
"No more tears" Carly smiles back at him
"And no more stress" Sonny adds in
"No more stress" Carly repeats seconds beforeSonny lips descends onto hers kissing her sweetly.
Walking inside of Carly'shospital room Jason clears his throat causing Sonny to break away from hersweet lips. As he turns around he shoots Jason an annoyed look at the interruption.
"I just wanted to tell Carly goodbye before I head out." Jason explains as he fights back a grin at the kiss he caught betweenSonny and Carly. It was about time.
"Good you should be getting some rest Jason you're hardly healed from that gunshot wound." Carly tells him
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me" Jason states…"Sonny can I have a word with you outside in the hallway?"
"I won't be long. Get some rest, you and our son need it" Sonny tells Carly before walking away from her hospital bed and headingoutside in the hallway. Something he didn't want to do but he also didn't wantCarly to hear about business matters.
~**~**~**~
"Members of Savage's old crew have been spotted by the waterfront. I'm going to check it out with some of the guys and if I find those bastards I'll deal with them." Jason declares since he knew there was no
way in hell Sonny was going to leave Carly's side; and he shouldn't. He isSonny's right hand man so it was his job to deal with the situation.
"Carly's right; you should be resting and if something happens to you it could hurt the baby. The doctor was clear Jason no more stress"
"Savage's crew poses a threat to Carly and the baby and I'm going to make damn sure they are dealt with promptly. I'm the best man for the job and you know it so just let me do it. Let me take care of it once and for all"
"You better make damn sure you don't get yourself shot again." Sonny warns knowing Jason was right and that he was the best chancethey had to deal with Savage's crew since he couldn't leave Carly's bedside.
That being said he also didn'twant Jason to get hurt again not only because he was his best friend butbecause he knew that it would cause Carly stress which wasn't good for hisunborn child or her.
"I'll be fine" Jason states before taking off.
~**~**~**~
Walking back inside Carly'shospital room Sonny is surprised that for once Carly listen to him and was
actually sleeping but he also figured that the medication that was given to herplayed a factor in her obedience . Taking a seat by her bed heplaces a hand onto her stomach and whispers out to his unborn son "You sleep tight baby boy and don't you worry about a thing. I know you had it rough and you're not even born yet but everything is going to change. Like I told mama no more tears and no more stress. Just lots and lots of rest from here on out until you're ready to come into this world and meet us"
~**~**~**~
"No, no, nooooooooo!" Carly shouts out beforejerking up awake. Letting out a moan at the pain she felt from her suddenmovements Sonny comes rushing inside of her hospital room
"Hey, what's wrong?" Sonny questions with a worried look across hisface since she was sleeping so peacefully a few moments ago before he left theroom to grill the doctor some more about Carly and the baby wanting to makesure they were truly okay which the doctor insisted they were.
"Is the baby okay?" Carly questions with paniclaced into her voice wondering if she dreamt that the baby had survived the carcrash
"Our son is fine" Sonny grins "The doctor was just here telling me how impressed he was at how well you and the baby are doing" Giving her a concern look he asks "Are you feeling alright? You look pretty shaken up?"
"It's nothing, I'm fine. It was just a bad dream" Carlyremarks as he sits down on the chair by her bed.
"A bad dream about the baby?"
"Yeah" Carly nods as she fights back her tears… "But it doesn't matter because the baby is fine and dreams don't mean anything"
"You went through hell its normal to have nightmares about it but you need to know that nothing will happen to our son. You kept him safe during the accident and now I'm going to keep you both safe from here on out. You and the baby aren't going to leave my sight."
"I know you will keep us safe Sonny. The only reason why I wasn't safe to begin with was because I didn't listen to you. I feel like such an idiot for trusting Lenny and Dan."
"We've been through this already Carly. You need to stop blaming yourself. Guilt isn't good for you or the baby."
"I know stress isn't good for the baby but I just can't help but hate myself for what I did. I just hate I couldn't see what you've seen all along. You warned me from the very start but I was so sure I knew better. I thought I was a good judge of character and that you were wrong because you didn't know Lenny like I did. Dan and Lenny were so amazing towards me when Carly died. I never would have
imagined Lenny would have tricked me into leaving Port Charles. I was stupid to trust him and because of my foolishness I almost cost us our son. I don't know if I will ever be able to forgive myself for that. I'm supposed to be a mother and our child isn't even born yet and I failed him so many times now." Carly cries out
Wiping her tears away with hishand Sonny states "You didn't fail our child. You kept him safe against all odds. Yes I was upset when I first heard you ditched your guards but after everything that has happened I'm just grateful you're both alive. I think you've learnt your lesson so I just want to put all this mess behind us and focus on making sure the rest of this pregnancy goes well."
"Me too" Carly smiles before nibbling on her lowerlip
"What?" Sonny questions as he sees her nibble onher lower lip something she did when she wanted something or was up to no good.
"What are the chances I can get you to get me a candy bar from the vending machine?"
"Oh let's see…how about none" Sonny states ashe shakes his head at her. Only Carly would want junk food after surviving acrash
"I thought so" Carly sighs out "Okay how about a snack that doesn't come out of the hospital cafeteria?"
"You have a problem with hospital food?" Sonnylaughs out
"Who doesn't?"
"I'm just shocked since you're willing to eat every crappy food known to mankind so I just figured you wouldn't have a problem with hospital food which is probably better for you than the crap you crave for daily."
"Are you going to get me and the baby something to eat or not?"
Nodding his head Sonny asks "Sure I'll have one of my guys go out and get some fresh fruit at the market for you"
"Thanks" Carly calls out to him as he walkstowards the doorway
~**~**~**~
As Carly finishes eating theroast beef Sonny's men had gotten her with Sonny's help because he insisted on
feeding her because of her broken arm the door to her hospital room opens.Seeing a cop Carly lets out a heavy sigh since she wasn't in the mood to talkto the police. She didn't want to have to relive what happened to her.
Placing her empty plate on thetray by her bed Sonny stands up from the chair he was sitting on as he ordersout "Get out"
"For once this doesn't concern you Mr. Corinthos. I need to talk to Miss Benson about the accident." He spats out indisdain for Sonny since he knew just how much territory this criminalcontrolled in Florida regardless of the fact he lived in Port Charles.
"Like hell it isn't! The mother of my child almost died today. It's sure as hell is my concern. Her doctor said no stress so you either get out or I will have my guard toss you out and then I will sick my lawyers on you and the whole Florida police department."
"She was kidnapped correct? We need to question her" thepolice officer replies
"My fiancé's kidnapper died in the car crash so there is no need to question her at the moment. As soon as she is cleared to leave the hospital my lawyer will join us and she will answer any of your questions then and only then! Now get the fuck out of here!"
"I suppose it can wait a little" the copgrunts out before walking out of the room.
"Hey Johnny! What the hell is wrong with you letting that pig inside my fiancés room huh!?"
"Sorry boss"
"Yeah, I don't want your damn apologizes! I want you to do your job!" Sonny snaps out before grabbing the door andslamming it in Johnny's face"
"You know you look so hot when you take charge" Carly comments as he smirks at her Carly goes on to say "Thank you for getting rid of him I wasn't in the mood to answer any of his questions"
Smirking at her Sonny remarks "Well you know me I always take pleasure in getting rid of cops" hearinga knock on the door Sonny calls out "What now Johnny?!"
Opening the door Johnny forces asmile across his face; since the boss would kill him IF he caused Carly morestress "Boss can I have a moment with you?"
"Can't it wait?" Sonny asks back annoyed
"Not really sir"
"I'll be right back" Sonny calls out to Carlybefore making his way out of her hospital room. Shutting the door behind himSonny demands "Well what is it?"
"It's Jason"
"What about him" Sonny questions noticing thefear in Johnny's eyes
"There was a shootout and…"
"And what!?"
"Jason is lost sir. They lost him near the oceanfront"
"What the hell do you mean lost?! How can Jason be lost?" Sonny asks in a harsh whisper; not wanting Carly to overhear his voice
"Well Jason took a speedboat chasing after Savages old crew and during the shootout he fell into the water near the waterfront and our guys can't find him"
"Like hell they can't! You tell those idiots they better find him or I will feed their sorry asses to the fucking shark's!" Sonnyspats out before turning on his heels and walking back into Carly's hospitalroom
~**~**~**~
"Is everything okay?" Carly questionsnoticing Sonny seemed upset
"Yeah, everything's fine" Sonny tells her as heflashes his famous dimple smile her way hoping she didn't push it. Their babyhad gone through hell and back and he wasn't about to add more stress to theirunborn child. Besides having Carly stress out over Jason wouldn't help anything.His men were looking for Jason and Jason was always quick on his feet so therewas no need to worry her.
"You looked upset" Carly notes since justseconds ago he seemed worried until he smiled at her but there was somethingoff by his smile. Normally his whole face lit up whenever he smiled and now itseemed fake.
"Just annoyed that's all. Sometimes Johnny overacts and wastes my time and right now I just want to focus on you and our son. Warehouse problems in Port Charles are not my main concern or priority and he should know better than to bother me right now about things that don't matter. Benny will handle it while we're here. " Sonny lies hoping it would putwhatever concern she had to rest
"You would tell me right if something was wrong?"
"Of course I would but there's nothing to tell. Liked I told you it's just stupid warehouse problems." Sonny states as hesits down on the chair that was by her bed
A part of her had her doubts butshe could tell IF something else was really going on Sonny wasn't going to tellher. "Alright" taking a hold of Sonny's hand Carly softlystates "You should take it easier on Johnny he's just looking out for you and I admit I haven't made it easy for your men to do their job but I promise you Sonny I learnt my lesson and I'll go with whatever you think is best"
"I know you have but regardless of what you did they should have been one step ahead of you and they weren't so that means they weren't doing their job. They didn't protect you when it mattered most and I won't let that go" Sonny remarks since the idiots in Port Charles he left to take care ofCarly failed him and that was unacceptable in his book.
"I just feel bad that they have to be punished for my mistakes" Carly sighs out heavily
"Like I said it was their job to make sure they were on to you and they weren't so you don't have to feel sorry for my men. And you shouldn't be stressing over what happens to them. You need to be taking it easy and let me worry about everything else"
"Okay you're right"
"What? What was that?" Sonny laughs out as heleans closer towards her
Giggling Carly tells him "Shut up"
"No come on say it again, that I was right?" Sonnygrins; flashing his dimples her way
"Alright fine, you're right. Okay? And enjoy it while you can because it doesn't happen often" Carly smiles as his lips inch closer to hers
"Oh I plan to" Sonny chuckles out before hislips makes contact with hers; kissing her softly.

"Hunter! Hunter get back here!" a woman shouts outto her loose dog as he suddenly jumps into the ocean which wasn't like him. Shealways walked Hunter on the oceanfront but this was the first time he jumpedinto the water. As she gets closer towards the water she frowns as she noticesher dog pulling on something. "Hunter what do you got there?"
Walking into the water she gaspsas she finally realizes that Hunter was tugging on a jacket a man was wearing "Oh my gosh!" She gasps out before she pushes Hunter outof the way and helps the poor man to shore. As the blonde hair man laid wet onthe sandy beach she starts to do CPR while silently praying that she would beable to save him from death…. "Come on…Come on…." She pleads with him beforegiving him mouth to mouth….
