Dangerous Desires (General Hospital Fanfic)

10. Wish You Were Here

The weeks past and spring drifted into early summer. Olivia had managed to stay away from Sonny and he had kept his distance from her as well. She had kept busy with her job and Dante, helping him with Lulu; whose memory was slowly returning. Although every part of her ached for him, Olivia knew that Sonny was bad news and she had walked out on him, again. The nights were warm outside but when Olivia would lay down at night she felt as if she were sleeping in an ice box. Everything seemed different since she had left Sonny. Connie varely even talked to her anymore.

One morning in mid-June Olivia walked into General Hospital. She had been feeling a bit under the weather lately and she needed to figure out why, As she walked the halls she spotted Connie by the elevator.

"Connie?" She called walking over to her.

Connie's head jerked up from her phone just in time to see Olivia approaching her. "Hey Liv."

"Hey, honey what are you doing here?" Olivia asked

"Oh, just an annual visit, you know for my mental state." Connie replied.

"Yeah, how is that going? I feel like I haven't talked to you in forever."

"I know, it's okay. I saw Sonny last night but I kept my distance."

Olivia felt her stomach flip at the mention of his name, "Where was he?" She blurted.

"He was talking to Carly at the Metro Court; I thought you were there last night?"

"Oh, no I was with Dante and Lulu. She's remembering more every day."

"That's wonderful, I'm so happy for them." Connie grinned.

"I am too." Olivia agreed.

"So how are things with you and Sonny anyway?"

"Connie" Olivia began her voice low, "I'm not seeing Sonny anymore."

Connie's eyes widened, "What happened?"

Olivia turned and began to walk down the hall, Connie followed.

"I ended it." She said.

"Wait a minute," Connie grabbed her cousin and turned her around, "Why?"

"Because, I realized that we were being ridiculous. Sneaking around and having sex, a lot of sex."

Connie looked at Olivia "Okay that part I didn't want to know but Liv, you two were in love."

"Yeah past tense Connie, we were in love not anymore."

"That is a lie and you know it."

"It's the truth Connie, I don't feel that way about him anymore." Olivia snapped.

"Olivia, if I do recall you were laying in the man's bed a few weeks ago."

"I was just lonely, I needed some comfort and Sonny was there." Olivia explained sitting in one of the waiting chairs.

Before Connie had a chance to respond Elizabeth walked out, "Olivia you can come back now."

"Thanks Elizabeth." Olivia said standing up.

"Wait what are you even doing here?" Connie asked.

"If I let you come in the room with me will you shut up about Sonny?" Olivia whispered so Elizabeth couldn't here.

"Yeah" Connie nodded.

"Okay come on."

Olivia and Connie followed Elizabeth into one of the rooms.

"Patrick will be in soon but in the meantime what are your symptoms?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well, I haven't been able to sleep right. My apatite has changed and I feel nauseous all the time." Olivia explained.

Elizabeth glanced at Connie and then back to Olivia.

"Umm Olivia," she said,

"Yeah?"

"I don't think you need to see any doctor/"

"What? Why not? There's something wrong with me and it certainly isn't the flu!"

"No it's not the flu." Elizabeth told her.

"Then what is it? What's wrong with me?' Olivia asked panic in her voice.

Elizabeth locked eyes with Connie, "I got this." Connie mouthed.

"Okay Olivia I'll let Connie tell you." Elizabeth said opening the dooe.

"Connie? But she's not a doctor or a nurse!" Olivia exclaimed.

"Relax it's nothing serious, and congratulations." Elizabeth said closing the door.

Olivia spun around to face Connie, "What the hell is going on?"

"Liv" Connie began "I want you to listen very carefully when I tell you this."

"Connie what is it?"
