Anthony walks in to find Claudia and Johnny eating breakfast, "What are you two doing up this early?" Claudia's still pretty pissed, "eating breakfast daddy. And now I'm going to go for a
jog, well that's if its okay with you. Is it daddy, can I go for a jog?" Anthony pours himself a cup of coffee, "don't be such a smart ass Claudia. I don't care what you do." Claudia gets up to
leave, "I was simply asking your permission seeing as you run my life, and make important decisions for me." Claudia leaves and Anthony sits at the table with Johnny, "now John I want
you to keep an eye on that sister of yours. I don't want to have to put a guard on her, but I will." Johnny gets up from the table, "dad I don't mind hanging out with Claudia, but I wont
fallow her for you." Anthony finishes his coffee and gets up to leave, "You will. If you want to keep her safe" and he leaves for his meeting with his future son in law.
Claudia really was going to go for a run, but as soon as she left the room she felt sick and it wasn't all from her father's presents. Johnny was on his way upstairs to make sure everything
was packed before he went to get the truck but he found Claudia bent over the toilet in the hall bathroom. He stopped at the door frame, "hey. Dad's gone, I was just checking on
everything and then I was going to leave to get the truck. Are you.." Claudia cut him off before he could finish, "I'm fine, really John. I know what your going to say, and we can go see
someone after we leave this prison." Johnny shakes his head, "I'm just worried about you that's all. But since you don't want to talk about it, dad just left for his meeting so we have
about 2hours tops so I'm going to get the truck." Claudia nods in agreement and Johnny leaves to get the rental truck.
Johnny gets back to the house about half an hour later and finds Claudia asleep in her room. Johnny goes downstairs to get the movers help with the boxes and suit cases so Claudia can
sleep a little longer. An hour and a half later Claudia wakes up to an empty room and Johnny finishing up on the phone. Claudia sits up to face her brother, "John why didn't you wake me,
I would of helped. How did you get this done by yourself?" Johnny hands Claudia her shoes, "It wasn't that bad. I had a little help too." Claudia thought he got the guards to help so she
became alarmed and almost bolted out of bed. Johnny: "calm down, I got a couple of movers with the truck because we can't drive the truck and our cars." Claudia calmed down now and
finished putting on her shoes so they could leave.
Johnny looks out the window of their new penthouse, "This is nice Claudia, but you think you could of gotten any closer to the Metro Court?" Claudia joins her brother, "what I thought
you liked being so close to crazy lulu?" Johnny glares at his sister, "really, we're going to start back up on my girlfriend?" Johnny goes to sit on the couch and Claudia fallows, "fine. I'm
sorry. For give me?" Claudia gives him those pouty dog eyes and he throws the couch pillow at her, "I guess I could." They get most of the packing undone and then Claudia flops down
on Johnny's bed, "Are you done yet! I'm bored, and hungry." Johnny laughs at his sister, "we just ate, not even an hour ago." Claudia sits up to face Johnny, "I know but God I promise if
I don't get a blueberry muffin Right Now I can not be accountable for my actions." Johnny gets up and stretches his arms, "and where exactly are we suppose to get a blueberry muffin
because I doubt the restaurant in the Metro Court sells them for dinner." Claudia jumps up and nearly pukes so she sits back down. Johnny immediately comes to his sister's side, "first
we are going to get you to a doctor." Claudia gets up slower this time, "I'm fine. Come on, please! I really really want a blueberry muffin." Claudia does the puppy dog eyes again and
Johnny shakes his head, "No. I'm not falling for that again. Doctors first then I'll buy you all the blueberry muffins you can eat." Claudia huffs because she knows he's not going to budge,
"fine. Lets go before I change my mind." Johnny opens the front door and Claudia is about to step out but Anthony Zaccarah is blocking there way.
They just stand there for a few minutes until Anthony breaks the silence, "What no hello daddy? And what you don't welcome your guess inside?" Claudia: "guess are invited, you are
not." Anthony just smirks at his daughter and lets himself in, "So this is what you moved out for?" Johnny hasn't forgotten that they were headed out, "look dad, we can do this another
time, we were on our way out." Anthony turns to face Johnny, "there is no need to be nasty, I can take a hint." Anthony turns to leave but stops at the door, "I'll be expecting a dinner
invite soon. And Claudia Saturday you have a date with my son in law." Anthony leaves and Claudia slams the door behind him, "God I hate him with every bone in my body!" Johnny
hates to see their father treat Claudia like that, "don't let him get to you. Come on, we have some muffins to buy." Claudia smiles at her brother, he always makes her feel better. They
are now sitting on the docks after just leaving Kellies where they bought blueberry muffins. Claudia: "So since we got the muffins now does this mean we can go home?" Johnny shakes
his head at his sister, "No. we're still going to the hospital, so suck it up. Come on because I have plans later. Claudia sighs and they head towards General Hospital.
Claudia hates hospitals, "this is taking to long, come on we can do this another time. I'm probably fine." She tries to leave but Johnny pulls her back down, "No, sit down. We're doing this
now." Claudia turns towards John, "didn't you say you have plans for tonight? Your going to be late." Johnny looks down at his watch, "If I leave you promise you will stay and figure out
what's wrong?" Claudia can tell Johnny's really worried and she wants to know too, "yes, I promise. Now go." Johnny leaves and about 10minutes later Claudia's called back by a nurse,
Nurse Elizabeth Webber.
Nurse Webber: "Hello Mrs. Zaccarah, I'm Nurse Webber. Now you said you've been feeling more tired recently, having cravings, and vomiting a lot?
Claudia: "It's Miss. And if I wrote it on that clip board then that would be what I said, so can we just skip all these questions that I've obviously already answered and just get to the part
where you tell me what's wrong with me.
Nurse Webber: she herd Claudia was straight forward, "Um…well alright then. Yes well, I'm just going to take a blood sample and then you will get a call in a few days" Elizabeth could
tell that was not the answer Claudia wanted from her facial expression, "Or I could put a rush on this and I'll be back in a few with the results."
Claudia: smiles at Elizabeth, she learns quick, "thank you, you do that."
Nurse Webber returns almost half an hour later, and she's a little afraid to tell the Zaccarah of her results.
Claudia: "It's about time! I've been here forever. What's wrong with me?"
Nurse Webber: "Well…There isn't anything technically wrong. Your um…pregnant."
Claudia: laughs for a good bit but Elizabeth's face doesn't change, "Your serious?"
Nurse Webber: "Yes Miss Zaccarah, you are pregnant. Congratulations. "
Claudia: "Congratulations? " Claudia pulls her coat on, "You know what I have to go. Um, could you not tell anyone about this?" Elizabeth nods and Claudia leaves.
The next day Johnny comes into the dining room to find Claudia has cooked a feast for breakfast. Johnny sits across from his sister, "Are we having guess?" Claudia hadn't even noticed
Johnny until he spoke, "No, I was hungry." Johnny can tell there's something bothering Claudia, "So?" Claudia looks at her brother, "So what?" Johnny: "So, what did the doctor say last
night?" Claudia gets up to clear her dish from the table, "nothing. I'm fine just like I told you." Johnny fallows Claudia into the kitchen, "fine? What about the fatigue, all the eggs, and you
threw up like what seven times yesterday?" Claudia puts down the dish, "It was more like four and I said I'm fine!" she storms off towards her room. Johnny stops at her door frame, "I'm
sorry, if you say your fine I believe you. I um, I'm going out. See you later." Claudia tells Johnny bye, and watches him leave then crawls back into her bed.
Lulu: "Why are we here?"
Johnny: "I told you I just have a question about something."
Lulu: "Fine, but I hope we don't lose our reservations."
Lulu sits down while Johnny makes his way to the nurses station.
Johnny: "Excuse me?"
Nurse Webber: "Yes. Is there something I can help you with?"
Johnny: "I hope so. My sister came here yesterday to have some test done, and she said she was fine but I would like to talk to the person who treated Claudia Zaccarah."
Nurse Webber: she knows she shouldn't say anything because Miss Zaccarah doesn't seem like someone to betray, but this is her brother, "Um…I did. And she told you the truth, there is
technically nothing wrong with her."
Johnny: "what does that mean technically? What's wrong with my sister?!"
Nurse Webber: "Please calm down, there really isn't anything wrong. I'm sure she will tell you in her own time."
Johnny: "Do you know who I am?" Elizabeth nods. "good so you know what my family is capable of?" she nods again, "good, now you seem like an intelligent person. So I hope you are
going to do the smart thing and tell me what I want to know?"
Nurse Webber: "Mr. Zaccarah, she made me promise not to tell anyone?"
Johnny: "Well if your as smart as I think you are; we will keep it between us."
Nurse Webber: she nods, "She's pregnant." and walks away before Johnny reacts.
Lulu: "So did you get your question answered because we really have to go so we don't lose our table."
Johnny: "There are more important things than losing our table at some restaurant I don't even want to go to!" He leaves a dumbstruck Lulu alone in the waiting room.
Johnny walked through the penthouse and headed straight for Claudia's room. Claudia woke up immediately, "Shit John, Knock next time! What if I had someone in here?" Johnny ignores
Claudia's comment and sits in the chair, "when were you going to tell me I'm going to be an uncle?" Claudia sits up now, "how did you find out? O that week nurse, I'm going to…" Johnny
cuts her off, "leave her alone. I probably scared her already anyway. So back to my question: when where you going to tell me? Or where you going to try and hid it?" Claudia gets all the
way out of the bed now and walks over to Johnny, "John, I wasn't trying to hid it. I just… I don't know, needed some time. Can you give me that?" Johnny gets up to leave, "Yeah Claudia
I can give you that, but if I found out how long do you think before dad finds out." Claudia is left to her own thoughts, shit I hate when he's right. At least Johnny will be happy when he gets
over being mad at me, but dad: he's going to kill me!
