Chapter Three:Explanation

The door swung open and Olivia stood there staring back at Carly. She was dressed in a pair of faded blue jeans and a green sweatshirt and her dark hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail. "Carly? What are you doing here?" She asked as she let the blond into the room.

Carly didn't even wait for Olivia to turn back around. "I know your secret." She said.

Olivia looked at Carly in confusion. "Could you elaborate please? What secret?" She asked,brusing past Carly and going to sit in the chair,in the sitting area of the hotel room. She took a sip of her Coke and glanced up at the women infront of her,nodding torwards the other chair. As soon as Carly sat down,Olivia got up to get her a drink.

"Olivia,I know you have a son." Carly told her softly,turning slightly in the chair to watch her.

Olivia froze in fear. "What did you say?" She asked,there was an edge in her voice. How could Carly know about her little boy?

"I overheard you talking to Kate so I went to this guy I know,Damian Spinelli and asked him to find out more for me." Carly replied. "Olivia...why did you give him up? Why did you give up your little boy?"

Olivia's hand shook and a sob escaped her lips. Her whole body was wracking with sobs. "I did it to protect him. I didn't want him to be used against Sonny!" She cried.

Carly stood up. "But you could have kept him. No one had to ever know that Sonny was his father." She said,her hands on her hips as she shook her head.

"And how would I take care of him? I was just a teenager,a kid myself when he was born." She said angrily,slamming the glass of water down hard.

Carly flinched.

"Do you think,that I don't think about him every day? That I don't wonder what it would be like if I hadn't given up? If I made the selfish decision?" Olivia rambled,a mixture of anger and sadness in her voice. "But I didn't make the selfish choice,I chose what i believed was best for my baby. I wanted him to grow up in a normal household with a mother and a father who loved,maybe a dog or a cat. I knew that I couldn't give him that so even though it hurt like hell. Even though it felt like a knife was twisting my heart,I did what I had to." She said softly,turning her head just slightly to look at Carly with tear filled eyes.

Carly's gaze drifted down to the floor. She had to tell Olivia that her son was in Port Charles and had been for more than two years. "I know who your son is. He has been in Port Charles for a couple of years now. He lives with my best friend." She said truthfully.

The two women's eyes met. Olivia was looking at Carly with a mixture of emotions. Happiness,sadness,worry,guilt all shone in her eyes. "What's his name?" She asked tearfully.

Carly smiled through her own tears. Damian. His name is Damian Spinelli."
