Thank you to those who have reviewed/followed/favorited. I appreciate it. If you want another chapter, please kindly review and let me know and feel free to follow/favorite so you don't miss an update. My apologies on the shortness of this chapter. Some chapters will be longer/shorter than others. I read every review and respond to them unless they're 'guests', then I will respond to them in each update. To 'guest' who commented on how I kept to the script, some words are taken from the show, but I am putting my own spin on the story. You will see some similarities in this story, but in the end, it's my own creation. I'm not happy with how the writers are writing Michael/Sabrina as well as the storyline with Carlos/Sabrina, so I will be writing it how I'd like it to go. Please be assured that Michael/Sabrina are endgame. Enjoy this update.
Title: Unexpected Treasures
Summary: Michael & Sabrina didn't expect to fall in love, nor did they plan the unexpected pregnancy that followed. With secrets threatening to be exposed, can the new couple make their relationship work? Set after 10/30/2015.
Chapter 2
(Michael couldn't help but be curious about what Sabrina had to say. Yes, the baby was fine. However, something else was causing her to panic. He clears his throat and offers a smile)
Michael: "You said the baby was fine."
Sabrina: (nods) "Yes."
Michael: (nods) "Okay. If it's not about the baby's health, what is it?"
(She sighs deeply and briefly closes her eyes before facing her man)
Sabrina: "I have wanted to tell you for so long, Michael. I was scared of what you would do or think of me."
Michael: (confused) "Okay, clearly whatever it is, it's scaring you to death." (smiles) "Honey, it can't be that bad, can it?"
Sabrina: (sadly) "I'm afraid of losing you, Michael. We came together so unexpectedly. I think we were both caught off guard by our sudden love for each other or the pregnancy that followed."
Michael: (nods) "Granted, the pregnancy was a surprise." (smiles) "But, I want you to know something, Sabrina. I love you and I couldn't be happier. After what happened with Kiki, I was heartbroken. But you..." (smiles widely) "You got me through it. You were there for me. I'd like to think that I was there for you, too."
Sabrina: (nods & smiles) "You were. I couldn't be happier. You brought so much happiness to my life."
Michael: "Okay, so I don't understand. What's gotten you so upset?"
Sabrina: (winces) "Michael, I-."
Carly: (cheerfully) "Hey, guys!"
(Michael and Sabrina are caught off-guard by Carly's sudden appearance)
Michael: "H-Hey, mom."
Sabrina: (smiles briefly) "Hi, Mrs. Corinthos."
Carly: (chuckles) "Carly, please. Don't catch Sonny hearing you call him 'Mr. Corinthos', otherwise you'll get a lecture."
Sabrina: (chuckles) "Okay...Carly."
(Carly glances between the two lovebirds and can tell she has interrupted something)
Carly: "Oh, I'm sorry. I clearly interrupted a private conversation. I can go."
Sabrina: "No, it's-it's okay. I need to be going anyway."
(Michael briefly looks between his mom and Sabrina before focusing on his girlfriend)
Michael: "Are-Are you sure, babe? I can always talk to my mom later. Whatever you wanted to say sounded important."
Sabrina: (shakes her head & chuckles) "No, it can wait until later. We'll talk more tonight."
Michael: (nods) "Okay. If you need me for anything, I'm just a phone call away and I'll be right there."
Sabrina: (nods & smiles) "I know. I appreciate it."
(Michael leans in to give his girl a kiss goodbye. Sabrina then enters the elevator)
Sabrina: (whispers) "I'll tell him tonight. Oh, Michael. I hope you can forgive me."
(After the elevator closes, Michael faces his mom and folds his arms)
Michael: "Okay, so whatever you had to say must be important. Otherwise, you wouldn't have interrupted us."
Carly: (winces) "I'm so sorry!"
Michael: (smiles) "Is everything okay with dad?"
Carly: (sighs) "He's in a bad mood because he can't walk. I was hoping maybe a visit from you would cheer him up."
Michael: "Not that I mind seeing dad, but you do know he has Morgan and Dante, right?"
Carly: (nods) "Yes, I know. But Morgan is with Kiki somewhere and Dante is at work." (hopeful look) "Being you're already here..."
Michael: (chuckles) "Yes, mom, I have no problem with seeing dad."
(As they're walking towards Sonny's room, Carly and Michael chat)
Carly: "How's Sabrina and my grandchild doing?"
Michael: (nods) "Sabrina and the baby are fine." (puzzled) "She wanted to tell me something. It sounded important."
(shrugs) "I'm sure she'll tell me tonight when we see each other."
Carly: "Huh. I wonder what it was about?"
Michael: (glares playfully) "She would've told me, but we were cut off."
Carly: (apologetically) "I'm sorry. I'll make it up to her. How about when your father is out of the hospital, we have a family dinner? Of course, Sabrina is invited. Your relationship is still so new, so your father and I want to get to know her more."
Michael: "That's fine. Just please...nothing embarrassing from you two."
Carly: (laughs) "Would we really do that?"
Michael: (raises his eyebrows) "Do you really want me to answer that?"
Carly: "Okay. Okay. But for the record, I'm happy for you two."
Michael: (smiles) "Thanks, mom."
(Back at Sabrina's apartment that she still currently shares with Felix, she is going through a few more boxes)
Sabrina: (sighs) "Okay, a few more and then I'll be good to go." (chuckles) "I better leave these for Fe or Michael. They will not be happy to see me carrying these boxes."
(All of a sudden, there's a knock at the door. Sabrina wonders who it could be as Felix is still at work and Michael is with Carly. She walks to the front door and opens it. Her eyes widen in shock and her mouth wide open)
Sabrina: "You?!"

A few scenes here and there may be similar, but keep in mind I'm putting my own spin on the overall story. Please let me know if I should keep going. Thanks.
