Dangerous Desires (General Hospital Fanfic)

12. Terrified

The next morning Connie put her keys in the ignition of her car and began to drive. She had stayed awake all night trying to figure out what the best thing was for Olivia. She had come to the conclusion that her cousin wouldn't tell Sonny about the baby on her own so Connie had to take matters into her own hands. She couldn't let Olivia raise another child on her own, all thanks to Sonny yet again. The storm clouds began to roll in making it darker the closer Connie came to the Corinthos house. She parked her car in the driveway just as the first drops of rain began to fall. Great she thought as she started towards the front door. Before she rang the bell Connie thought to make sure she was doing the right thing. She was, Sonny needed to know and Olivia needed help.

Connie pressed the button and the loud bell rang out through the house. The knob turned and the door opened revealing Sonny. He looked tired and warn down, like he hadn't slept in weeks. Most importantly Connie noted that he reeked of alcohol.

"Connie?' He said his speech slurred.

"Can I come in?' she asked.

"Yeah sure" Sonny replied moving aside so she could enter the house.

Connie stepped inside and looked around. The house looked dark and gloomy. Somehow she knew the reason for Sonny's behavior. Olivia.

"Connie what are you doing here? I thought I was bad for your health?" Sonny asked walking into the living room.

"Yeah you are but I'm not here for me." Connie said.

"Well then who are you here for?"

"Sonny, I think you should sit down for this." Connie said sitting on the couch.

Sonny took a seat beside her, "Connie what's wrong?"

"Sonny" she began "it's Olivia."

Connie watched as Sonny's eyes rolled at the mention of her name.

"What's wrong with Liv?' He finally asked.

Connie swallowed hard, "Sonny"

Sonny saw the panic in Connie's eyes, "Connie is something wrong with her?'

"No . . . well not exactly."

"Then what is it?"

"She should be the one to tell you this but she won't so I have to do it."

"Is she sick?'

"No Sonny, Olivia's pregnant."

Sonny stood up. He said nothing. Connie watched as he poured himself a glass of scotch and drank it. She watched as he poured another and consumed that glass as well. She stopped him before he was on his third.

"No no no." She said taking the glass from him.

"Connie"

"Sonny alcohol is not the answer."

"Pregnant? Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"And it's mine?'

"Let's face it you're the only man she's had sex with since Steven went to prison."

"There was really nobody else in her life?"

"Nope nobody"

"How long has she known?'

"She just found out yesterday."

"Why didn't she tell me yet?'

Connie took a deep breath. "Sonny, she wanted to but . . . "

"She didn't plan on telling me did she?'

"Well"

"Don't lie to me Connie!"

"No she didn't! I did everything to convince her to but she wouldn't."

"Of course not! Does Dante know?'

"No yet. She is still processing it herself. "

"What the hell were we thinking? We're too old for this. She was right/"

"What do you mean?'

"Olivia said that she was too old to be sneaking around and having an affair."

"Sonny, you're never too old for love."

"Connie what do I do?"

"I don't know I just thought you should know the truth. I couldn't bear the thought of my cousin raising another child on her own."

"My child on her own . . . again." Sonny whispered.

"Exactly Sonny"

Sonny turned and looked into Connie's eyes, "I know what I have to do." He said.

"What?' Connie asked worried.

"I need to go to Olivia."

"What? No Sonny you can't!"

"Why not?"

"Because I promised Liv I wouldn't say anything."

"I don't care Connie, that's my child she's carrying I have a right to confront her about it!"

Sonny grabbed his car keys and headed for the door.

Olivia sat on the couch in her apartment listening to the rain fall. She hadn't gotten much sleep ever since Connie had left. Her mind had been racing all night long. She, Olivia Falconeri was pregnant with a Corinthos child again. But it wasn't just any Corinthoss child, it was Sonny's child. She placed her hand son her stomach.

"Don't worry sweet baby I won't let anything happen to you." She whispered.

The lightning flashed and the thunder cracked. Olivia jumped when she realized her door had flown open. Her head turned and she saw Sonny in the doorway.

"What did you think you could keep this baby a secret from me too?" He growled slamming and door and locking it.

POLL:Should Liv and Sonny raise the baby together or should he be angry and she leave Port Charles?
