Sorry, I was going to upload like a day ago but I had some difficulties uploading. Anyway, enjoy!
Claudia gets off the boat and is met by Anthony and his guards, "Corinthos and I have found a way to fix your mistakes: You will marry him tomorrow, and when the baby comes everyone
will think you guys have already been together and you got married for the sake of my grandson. So come on, we have a lot to do." Claudia tugs away from the guard, "I said I'm not
marrying Sonny, and I will Not deny Nick his child!" Anthony steps closer to her and looks between her and her stomach, "You will do as I say because I would hate for something to
happen to my grandson." Claudia pulls her arms around her stomach and shakes her head, "daddy, please. Don't make me do this, please!" Anthony just smiles, "I thought you would
see it my way. So, red roses?" Claudia didn't think she could hate her father anymore then she did now, "yes daddy, red is fine." Just as they leave, Lulu comes from around the corner
and whips out her phone, "Nickolas, I know its late but I need to see you right now. Yes I'm on the docks, just hurry." Lulu didn't know what she was getting her self into, but if she herd
Claudia right then she had to protect her niece or nephew. Nickolas could see Lulu pacing the docks, what's got her so worked up? I bet Johnny caused whatever it is, "Hey Lulu, what's so
important?" Lulu stops pacing, "I don't know I just thought you'd like to know I just saw Johnny and Claudia's crazy father drag her and your child off!" He looks lost, "Lulu slow down,
and tell me from the beginning." She sits on the nearby bench, "fine I was coming around the corner and herd him telling Claudia that him and Sonny thought of a plan that fixes her
"mistakes" by making them get married sooner and when the baby comes everyone will just think they married so soon for the baby." Nickolas: "What else happened? Where did he take
her?" Lulu: "I don't know where he took her but she was fighting him at first until he said something about the baby." Nickolas gets up and paces a little before stopping in front of Lulu,
"think about it what did he say to her? Where did he take her?" Lulu tries to think of what Anthony could of said but she couldn't really hear that part from where she was hiding, "I'm
sorry but I didn't hear that part. He probably said something threatening, that's they only thing I can think of that would get her to stop fighting." Nickolas shakes his head thinking of
where Anthony could have taken her, "It's fine lulu, your not hurt are you?" She shakes her head no, "good. I um, don't want you to tell anyone what you saw until I get her back,
especially Johnny. Just go on like everything is fine." Lulu agrees, heads to Nickolas' to watch the boys, while he goes to search for Claudia.
Claudia thought about leaving through the secret passage ways, the guards probably don't even know about them. Anthony walks up behind her, "aren't thinking of leaving are you?
Because you know I'll find you, and even if you get away with my grandson you can't protect everyone." Claudia thinks about it for a few minutes and then it clicks, Johnny, "of course not
daddy, I'm just going to the kitchen." Claudia's in the kitchen making her omelet when the phone rings and she doesn't know why she answered it but she did, "hello?" The other end of
the phone: "well it's nice to know your back on the mainland." Claudia intently recognizes Sonny, "So your fallowing me too? I guess I'm the new hot toy everyone wants." Sonny steps
from the other side of the kitchen door, "I had to keep an eye on my wife because I herd she was stepping out on me." Claudia was going to threw the chopping knife at him but he
grabbed her arm and she struggled to get out of his grip, "why do you really want to marry me Sonny? From what I remember you could pick up your own women without the help of
some old insane man." He took the knife and placed it on the counter, grabbed her other wrist and pulled them above her head and whispered, "maybe I like the challenge" and then
kissed her as the door opened again. Anthony: "Come on Sonny, we have business to attend to. You to can practice for your honeymoon later." Claudia pushes him away and goes back
to her omelet, "not even in his dreams."
Nickolas was trying to figure out how to sneak into the Zaccarah house and came up with nothing so he took his chances by just walking up to the guards, "I'm um here about a
"business" deal." Lucky for Nickolas that this guard was one of the dumb ones, "right this way sir." Nickolas thought the guard was going to take him to Anthony, "I um, can I use the
restroom?" The guard shows him where the bathroom is and tells him to wait in the study after. As soon as Nickolas herd the guard leave he peaked around the corner to make sure he
was gone and headed for the stairs. Nickolas thought he was running on luck tonight because the after the fourth room he found Claudia's, "so what are you and daddy just catching
up?" Claudia was startled at first but then realized it was Nickolas and ran up to hug and kiss him, "what are you doing here? How did you get in? Daddy is going to kill you if he finds you,
you know that right? There is no way your going to make it out of here." Nickolas smiles at her, "I have my ways, and I'll let you in on them but right now we should probably find a way
out." Claudia grabbed his hand and was about to leave with him through the tunnels but stopped at her door, "wait. No, I can't." Nickolas looked at her confused, "what do you mean you
can't leave? Do you want to marry Sonny?" Claudia felt a little hurt, she couldn't believe he would ask her that, "No, but I've told you before once daddy makes his mind up to do
something there's no stopping him." Nickolas knows that guard's probably looking for him by now, "if you don't want to marry Sonny then we have to leave now. That guard may be dumb
enough to let me in but, I'm sure he's smart enough to notice I'm missing, so can we discus this later?"
Against Claudia's better judgment her and Nickolas escaped through the tunnels and were heading to the penthouse to get Johnny and pack. Johnny was on the phone with Lulu when
they got there, "if it has something to do with my sister than I have a right to know lulu!" She was about to tell when they walked through the door so he hung up with her and quickly
attacked his sister with questions, "what's wrong? Lulu said something about you and dad, but she wouldn't tell me the rest." Claudia turns to Nickolas, "your sister can't hold water can
she?" Johnny was off the couch now, "why would she need to? Claudia?!" She sighed and started as she walked towards her room, "we don't have time to talk about it now John, just
pack" he hadn't moved, "please John. I'll explain later, I promise." They packed a few things while Nickolas stood guard for Anthony or his guards and then they were off towards the boat
to Spoondermire. Nickolas could tell that Johnny and Claudia needed to talk so he excused himself to tell the guards to let him know if Anthony, Sonny or any of their men showed up, and
then to check on the boys and Lulu. Before the door even fully closed Johnny was waiting for answers, "so?" Claudia wished so badly right now that she never fell for Nickolas, "dad and
Sonny are still pretty set on the marriage and you know they don't take No well." Johnny sat across from her, "and what does that mean?" He go t no answer, "what does that mean
Claudia?! What did they do?" Claudia got up so she wouldn't have to directly face him, "daddy grabbed me tonight. I fought at first, but then he threatened my baby John. I had no choice,
I had to go with him, and he said that even if I escaped that I couldn't protect everyone." She thought of telling him about Sonny but that wouldn't help, especially right now. Johnny
looked pissed and I know telling him that would just piss him off more, "Then ah, Nickolas talked me into leaving, but I told him not without you. Not this time. I would never leave you
again." Johnny hugged his sister and let go after a few, "you know you act on impulse right. You have to stand up to him, I don't know how.(he rubs his hands through his hair)But I'll help
you, and from what I can tell so will Nickolas." Claudia couldn't help it, but when Nickolas was mentioned, she automatically smiled. Johnny noticed, "you love him don't you?" Claudia
thought she hid it, "it shows that much? (he nods at her) If you see I don't see how Son…" Claudia caught herself before she told him about Sonny's actions, "I um. I didn't think I'd ever
love anyone besides you. Then came "Batman" and his "robin", and now our " little robin." Claudia could tell from his expression that he was a little lost and laughed before explaining, "I
mean Nickolas, Spencer, and now the baby." Johnny nodded then asked, "Batman?" That's when Nickolas entered, "don't tell me your going to start calling me that too?" Johnny laughed,
"Defiantly not. Knowing my sister, it probably has some sexual relation." Claudia almost choked on her water, "John!" Johnny threw his hands in the air, "what?" She gave him one of her
famous Claudia glares and so he took that as his queue to leave before something was thrown at him , "I should check on Lulu" and he headed out.
Anthony was so pissed but right now he was calmly talking with the guard who let Nickolas in (and when a crazy person's calm, that's when its time to worry for your life), "You have no
family right Rob? (the guard shakes his head) No, hmm so that means there will be no one to look for your body, get him out of my sight before I strangle him right here and now!" The
guard at the door shoved him out the door take care of him. Sonny was pissed because he now had to wait longer to take over the Zaccarah business, but he also felt like Claudia scored
a point in "their" game of cat and mouse, "I told you she would need more than one guard." Anthony aimed the gun that was in his hand towards Sonny, "Right now's not a good time
Korinthos!" Sonny steps closer and pushes the gun down, "you don't scare me old man. You wont shoot me, you need me as much as I need you. But you messed up tonight: You should
have had more guards, so if Nickolas gets her out the country its on you!" Sonny leaves and Anthony knocks everything off the bar in frustration.
