Chapter 3
Carly has to stay in the hospital overnight just to make sure that no major damage was done to her that they had missed it the first time around. She had been lying in bed the whole day; she went to sit on the windowsill and looked out into the city that was just getting ready for the night ahead of them all.
She feels someone tap her shoulder, she turns to look at her cousins "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"
Jack smiles at her "Mom said we could come see you before we went home. Are you okay Carly?"
Carly nods and smiles "yes and I have learnt from my mistakes, I just wanted to hear him explain why he killed my dad."
Sean hugs her "it's okay Carly; we understand you just wanted answers nothing wrong with that."
Carly hugs him back "the only thing wrong with it is how I went about doing so."
The three of them happily chat away only to suddenly notice that they were now no longer alone, Linda stood in the doorway clearly ready to go home. Jack and Sean both hug their cousin and say goodnight to her. They wait in the hallway for their mom.
Carly sits on her bed "why do I have a feeling that tomorrow night I won't be going home either."
Linda smiles at her niece "for the time being you will be staying at Grandpa's it is just a lot safer for you to be there. I know Jamie is also staying at the house, he is under strict orders."
Carly shows Linda her letter from the 'police commissioner' , Linda smiles "Danny told me about this but you aren't the only one Jamie also got a letter from Frank saying that he wouldn't be on patrol until Sonny was found and that is why he is staying at Grandpas."
Linda and the boys leave to head home leaving Carly all to herself, she looks up at the doorway and notices that the 2 uniforms were still standing outside her door. She gets off her bed and walks towards the door and pokes her head out to look into the hallway.
Both officers look and watch her to see if she makes a move, they had been warned that Carly was known to 'escape' from police protection detail before, so these guys were being extra vigilante.
Carly smiles at the person who has turned the corner, she happily leaves her room and runs over to them, the uniforms had no time to react or pull her back to safety as she was already giving the man a hug.
Carly smiles "Uncle Jamie."
Jamie carefully hugs her back being careful of her arm "Hey Carly, why are you out of your room?"
Carly and Jamie walk back into the safety of her room "because I saw you coming and wanted to give you a hug."
Carly sits on her bed and watches as Jamie gets comfy beside her bed, she raises her eyebrow at him "what are you doing?"
Jamie sits in the chair next to her bed and places his legs on the edge of the hospital; he just turns and smiles at her.
Carly lays down making sure she gives Jamie enough room to be comfy "I guess you are getting comfy for the night."
Jamie just smiles at her "I didn't think it would be fair if you had to stay the night here all alone."
Carly laughs at his attempt to lie "you didn't want to be around Grandpa and his protection detail."
Jamie nods "you got me, we are in this mess together and we shall stay together and before you ask yes he knows where I am and gave me permission to keep you company for the night."
Carly taps his leg with her foot "I'm sorry this happened to us Jamie."
Jamie taps her leg with his foot "it was going to happen to me anyway kiddo; PC was making plans for me you just got added to the plans."
The next morning Carly woke up to hushed voices around her, she also aware that someone was hugging her while she had been asleep, not realising where she was and who she was surrounded by.
Carly slowly stretches and still very sleepy, she blinks a few times and that is when everything from the day before had come back to her. Her following Sonny, being shot by Sonny and being yelled at by her uncle and the disappointment that was written on everyone's face.
The nurse hands the discharge papers to Danny who signs them, Carly jumps off the bed and tries to leave the hospital room wanting to get some fresh air, but Jamie was too quick and grabs her around the waist "where do you think you are going?"
Carly pouts at her uncle "I need some fresh air please."
Danny shakes his head at his niece "We are going to Grandpa's and having a very long talk."
Carly pulls away from her uncles and looks at them both "are you still mad at me Uncle Danny?"
Danny sighs "a little yes, what you did Carly yesterday was dangerous and reckless and that is not like you at all young lady."
Carly nods and remains quiet, she knew that if Danny was mad and disappointed in her then so would her father if he was still with them. Carly struggles to put on her jacket but moves away from Jamie when he tries to help.
Carly follows them to the Danny's unmarked police car, Danny shuts the door behind her but Jamie grabs his arm before he can get in the car "When we get to dad's you need to sit down with Carly and get out whatever you are feeling and work it out before this gets out of hand. You need to tell her that yes what she did was wrong and it scared you."
Danny looks at his baby brother "It did scare me Jamie, just like it scared me when he came after you."
Jamie nods "then tell her that, remind her that. Right now she is going to shut down and shut us out thinking we are all mad and disappointed with her. I know that look; that look is the same look I had written all over my face when I told you all that I was going to become a cop. Try talking to her as if you were talking to the boys and not a suspect, right now she needs a father figure and as she lives with you, you are that father figure."
They arrive at Frank and Henry's house, Carly jumps out of the car first and walks towards the house very quickly. She opens the door and barely acknowledges the other men in the house.
She climbs up the stairs swiftly and heads towards her dad's childhood room but she stops outside of the bedroom door. Danny was right behind her because he needed to talk to her.
Danny places his hands on her shoulders which she gently shrugs off due to her arm "We can talk in here Carly."
Carly shakes her head "He would be disappointed in me just like you are. I let him down, I know what I did yesterday was stupid and I will have the scar to prove it every day but what I really don't need is my family hating me."
Danny turns her around and bends down to her level, he wipes away the tears that her streaming down her face "Listen to me very closely Carly Mary Reagan. No one and I mean no one in this family hates you. Yes we are a little disappointed in what you did, but ask Grandpa I am sure there are things that we did as children that disappointed him even stuff Aunt Erin did. What happened yesterday just scared us, all of us we promised Joe that we would keep you safe and yesterday was the complete opposite."
Carly knew that the others had joined them and wipes away her tears as well "so none of you hate me?"
Frank hugs his granddaughter and kisses her head "No Carly, we love you and want you safe. This is why we all need to talk about a few things and arrangements."
They sit in the family room, Carly was cuddled up to Jamie, Frank looks at his youngest son and granddaughter "a few detectives went through Sonny's things in his cell, it would appear that he did have help and this had all been planned."
He hands them some crime scene photos; the photos were taken of Sonny's cell however inside the cell were documented photographs that had taken of Jamie and also of Carly then given to Sonny.
Are Jamie and Carly safe?
