Johnny's POV
After we checked out of the hospital I took Lulu home, knowing that we needed to talk.
"How are you feeling? Can I get you anything?" I asked, hoping she started feeling better soon.
"My stomach is a little missed up but, I don't feel like I'm going to be sick or anything. Right now, I think we need to come clean about everything. You know?" Lulu sits down on the couch, Johnny dropping down in the seat beside her.
"I'll go first... just know that I haven't found this out until a couple of weeks ago." Johnny sighed, nervous.
"Johnny, just tell me. You're not going to lose me, I promise." Lulu squeezes his hand, Johnny hoped she was right.
"Don't say that until you've heard what I have to say." Johnny sighed, looking down at their intertwined hands.
'I'm listening." Lulu was a little nervous.
'Claudia was the one who ordered the hit out on Sonny the night Michael got shot. I was afraid to tell you because I didn't think you'd want to be with someone who could keep this a secret. I just...I really didn't know how to tell you. It would kill me to lose you. There it is. That's what's been bothering me." Johnny bit his lip, anxiety swirling inside of his body.
"I...figured as much. There are only so many people in Port Charles that want Sonny dead, I knew it wasn't you. It's not your fault, you had nothing to do with Michael being shot. I know Claudia's you're sister so I won't say anything to Sonny or Carly. It's not really any of my business anyway. I just hope Claudia knows what she's doing. Sonny's not someone to be played with. You know?" Lulu understand why he'd been such a mess lately.
"You did? I should have known I couldn't keep anything from you, you know me too well. Claudia's pretty much dug her grave. If Sonny finds out he's going to kill her, that's just how the business works. There's no sugar coating it. I can't help her, it's on her to solve. I'm just...done trying to save my sister. Do you really still want to be with me?" Johnny hadn't expected Lulu to be so understanding.
"Johnny, you're not as mysterious as you think you are. Of course I knew something was up. You know I've never liked your sister but, I hope she doesn't get herself killed. I know that would hurt you, that's one thing I hate. I never want to see you hurt. I'll always be right by your side, just like I am right now. I love you." Lulu softly looks at him.
"I would kiss you but, I've been vomiting." Lulu added, with a slight chuckle.
"How did I get so lucky? You're the best." Johnny wrapped her in a hug, pulling her into a hug.
"Now it's my turn, I guess. This is... really hard for me. A few weeks ago I was... pregnant." Lulu cleared her throat, peeking up at him.
"Were?" Johnny asked, with soft eyes.
"I went to the hospital to make sure...when I was checking out of the hospital, I ran into Claudia and we fought. I know that she didn't mean to but, she pushed me down the stairs and I ended up landing on my stomach. The same day that I found out I was pregnant I lost our baby. I had so much hope and I was so excited to tell you that you were going to be a father...it was all just ripped away from me. From us. I don't even know if you think about stuff like that but, I do. I've just been so upset over it, I know I should have told you...I just didn't know how. Please forgive me." Lulu's voice got choked as she explained to him, a few years spilling down her cheeks. Johnny reached down to wipe her tears away as he held her, a few years appearing in his eyes.
"I'll never forgive Claudia for this, I don't care if it was a accident. Claudia took away our baby, she didn't have to touch you. My sister makes it hard to even be around her. I'm sorry that you had to go through this alone, I understand why you didn't tell me. I just want you to know that you can tell me anything, the good and the bad." Johnny hugged her closer to him, running a hand through her hair.
"I do think about our future together...a lot. We'll try again, I want a baby with you more than anything. I want to make an honest woman out of you, I don't see myself with anybody else."
