It had been two weeks since the regime of Sonny's protection mode of Sabrina had been put into place. She liked living with her dad because it allowed her to get to know him on a more personal level, but she was missing sharing an apartment with Felix. The only time they got to see each other was at work and luckily he was on the approved list of people who could talk to Sabrina without one of her brothers or her father standing right on top of them. They made distance when they talked but were ready to go and protect Sabrina any time Patrick had come around to chat with her. Luckily they hadn't run into Carlos yet, but Sabrina knew it was only a matter of time until he figured out where she worked and began coming to see her. Sonny was watching over Sabrina today at the hospital.
Sabrina: "Felix, I love my family but I am glad that I'm allowed to talk to you."
Felix: "You and me both sister. Why are they so protective of you anyways."
Sabrina: "Well they don't like Patrick trying to talk to me every chance he gets and now that my ex boyfriend from Puerto Rico has come to Port Charles, they are on vigilante duty."
Felix: "You talking about the ex who said he didn't want you to become a nurse? What could he be doing here?"
Sabrina: "He said he has a job here, but his main goal is to get me back. You should have seen Dante at Kelly's when Carlos came in a kissed me."
Felix: "Why am I hearing about this now? This is something I should of heard about a long time ago."
Sabrina: "I'm sorry but after the incident at Kelly's, me and Dante went over to my dad's to tell him and that installed the Corinthos daughter protection agency."
Felix: "So that is why you have been living at Sonny's and they have been coming around so much."
Sabrina: "Yep."
Sabrina turned around, immediately bumping into Patrick. Within two seconds Sonny was helping his daughter up and in between Patrick and Sabrina.
Patrick: "Sonny, I see you are on protection detail today."
Sonny: "Well I just wanted to make sure that my boys were doing a good job protecting their sister."
Patrick: "Well they are, this is the closest I have been to Sabrina in a week."
Sonny: "That is good to hear. The protection detail isn't for just you though."
Patrick: "I guess I should be flattered, there is someone else besides me, you want away from Sabrina?"
Sonny: "Yes, but it isn't any of your concern."
Patrick: "See I disagree, I think it is my concern. See though we are no longer together, I still care about Sabrina very much."
Felix and Sabrina were watching this exchange of words and were only praying fists weren't going to start flying. Just as it was getting a little bit louder, Carlos came out of the elevator and started walking towards the nurse's station.
Sabrina: "As if this day couldn't get any worse."
Somehow Sonny heard her and stopped arguing with Patrick to look at her.
Sonny: "What are you talking about?"
Sabrina: "My ex is here."
Patrick: "Sabrina what are you talking about? You told me he was in Puerto Rico."
Sonny: "He was. He showed up in Port Charles about a week ago, and I have been wondering when I would see him."
Sabrina: "There you go. He is right in front of you."
Carlos: "Hi I was looking for…. Oh hey, there you are Sabrina. I was hoping I could take you somewhere for dinner."
Sabrina found herself behind both Sonny and Patrick as they seemed to be interested in who exactly Carlos was. She moved from behind them and up into the nurse's station.
Sonny: "My daughter won't be going anywhere with you. What did you say your name was?"
Carlos: "You're her father?"
Sonny: "Yes. Why else would I call her my daughter?"
Carlos: "Oh, I don't know, see Sabrina was with this guy the other day at the diner and she said he was her brother, but I know for a fact that Sabrina doesn't have any brothers and her father is back in Puerto Rico."
Sonny: "Well, she is my daughter and she does have brothers now and I don't care what you believe or not, but you need to stay away from her. The both of you." Looking over at Patrick.
Carlos: "Well I am going to tell you, what I told Sabrina, I will get her back."
Sonny was about ready to tear his coat off at Carlos' cockiness.
Sonny: "Leave my daughter alone! Like Dante already told you, we will personally see to it that you go back to Puerto Rico for good."
Carlos got in Sonny's face and by this point Sabrina had hid behind the counter, so she didn't have to see what was going to happen. Patrick still hadn't lost interest in the conversation Sonny was having with Carlos but backed up a little not to get in the cross fire. Morgan came off of the elevator and saw what was happening.
Morgan: "Hey! Hey! Back up off my dad!"
Morgan pulled Carlos away from Sonny's face and went to stand right next to Sonny.
Morgan: "This guy giving you trouble dad?"
Sonny: "Not enough yet to hurt him, but I do want to introduce you to him. Morgan this is Carlos. You know Sabrina's ex boyfriend from Puerto Rico."
Morgan: "You would look a whole lot nicer if you were back home in Puerto Rico."
Carlos: "What is with all the threats."
Morgan: "These are not threats, these are just warnings about what will happen to you if you don't leave my sister alone."
Carlos: "Sabrina how many brothers do you have?"
Sonny: "She has three brothers, one very protective father, and his entire security team at her disposal so I don't think you will be getting very far."
Patrick: "Sabrina I really need to talk to you."
Sabrina: "Why, I am on OB detail now, unless you bring in another pregnant ex girlfriend I won't be seeing you."
Morgan: "Good one sis."
Sabrina: "Thanks. Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do. Bye Morgan. Bye Daddy." This was the first time she had called him anything but Sonny to his face and couldn't help but smile when she came and kissed both him and Morgan on the cheek. They watched her walk down the hall and the second she was out of sight, Sonny grabbed Carlos by the collar of his jacket and threw him against the nurse's station.
Sonny: "You listen to me, one last time! Stay away from my daughter. She doesn't want you anymore."
Carlos: "Okay, I will back off, but I know Sabrina probably better than you do and I know that kiss I gave her got her thinking about us again."
Sonny let go of his jacket and allowed him to get up.
Sonny: "Just go!"
Carlos did as he was told, but saw Sabrina looking from around the corner down the hall. Instead of going to the elevator he walked past it and down the hall.
Morgan: "Where is he going?"
Sonny: "I bet you I know exactly where he is going."
He took of into a run after Carlos and Morgan followed after. Patrick stayed behind hoping to talk Felix into letting him talk to Sabrina somehow without her family around.
Nurse's Station
Patrick: "Hey Felix, how are you?"
Felix: "I see right through that doctor charm, so put it away and tell what it is you want."
Patrick: "I want Sabrina back."
Felix: "Well you aren't getting her back. You made that mistake a long time ago and now that she has someone else fighting for her, you want her? Uh uh. You aren't playing that game."
Patrick: "Fine, I will get her back myself."
Felix didn't want to mention this to Patrick but he saw the way she looked at Carlos and there was a whole different level to the chemistry between her and Carlos and her and Patrick. He knew that Sabrina wanted Carlos, but was just so scared of being hurt and having to give up her dreams again she walked away.
General Hospital Hallway
Sonny and Morgan had followed Carlos until they lost him. It was if he had disappeared into thin air. Sonny expressed his anger his usual way by throwing a cart with medical supplies against the wall.
Morgan: "Dad calm down, we are going to find him."
Sonny: "I know we are, but I just don't want to see your sister hurt again. After Patrick she was so fragile it killed me to watch. I don't want that to happen again because I'm going to protect her."
Morgan: "Okay, then let's call Dante and Michael and set up a meeting at the restaurant."
Sonny agreed reluctantly. They didn't see Sabrina hiding in an exam room and they didn't see who she was hiding with.
Carlos: "That was close."
Sabrina: "Shut up and kiss me." She didn't know why she was saying this, but felt the gravitational pull between them and it couldn't be stopped.
Carlos did as she commanded and it took both of them right back to Puerto Rico.
Sabrina: "I missed you so much. I can't believe you are here."
Carlos: "Well believe it. So when are we getting married?"
This question abruptly stopped the make out session they were having and made Sabrina get up from off the bed and move towards the door.
Sabrina: "Really? That is what you want to know?"
Carlos: "Well yeah."
Sabrina: "Carlos I do miss us, but right now, I have to be loyal to my family and I have just started OB detail."
Carlos: "Do you really think your family is ever going to like me?"
Sabrina: "Yes, if you do as they ask and leave me alone. Maybe we can see each other in secret. You know like we did when I wasn't supposed to be dating anyone."
Carlos: "Sounds like a plan, but you couldn't keep your mouth shut then how are you going to keep your mouth shut now."
Sabrina: "Well if we don't see each other, other than when we meet, it shouldn't be a problem."
Carlos: "Fine I will play along, but the moment you think it is right for us to tell your family. We will."
Sabrina waited until he had left the floor to come out of the exam room. She wasn't paying attention and she ran into someone.
Sabrina: "Patrick."
