Dangerous Desires (General Hospital Fanfic)

13. Breathe

Olivia felt the hair on the back of her neck stand up as Sonny walked closer to her. His eyes seemed to burn right through her. There was only one way he could've found out. Connie. Olivia knew she shouldn't have trusted her cousin with such a huge secret but it was too late now. Sonny knew and he was pissed. Olivia sat on the couch with her hands folded possessively over her stomach.

"Are you gonna answer me or just sit there?' Sonny barked.

She sat there, not moving or saying a word. Olivia thought if she lied he would know so she had no choice but to tell him the truth.

"Were you planning on keeping this baby a secret too?"

"Yes!" She cried the tears falling fast down her face.

"Why? Am I really that bad of a person that you can't even tell me when you're having my baby?"

"It's not you, it's-"

"What I do for a living. I know." Sonny cut her off. "So if I wasn't in the Mob you would tell me?'

"No"

"So then it is me?"

"No Sonny, it's not you! It's not your job! It's me!" Olivia screamed standing up.

"What's wrong with you? You're the perfect woman!"

"Maybe to you but to me I'm nothing."

Sonny studied her carefully. She had her hands on her stomach, protecting the small fetus inside. She was in full mother mode. He knew she was lying; now all he had to do was figure out why.

"It's not you Liv" He said

"Yes Sonny it is me."

Sonny walked over to her "Olivia look at me" he said placing his hand underneath her chin and turning her head to face him. "Why are you acting so strange about this baby?"

Olivia pulled away from him, "If I tell you the truth will you get the hell out?"

"I make no promises."

"Of course you don't" She huffed.

"Olivia"

"Connie told you didn't she?"

"Yeah she uh . . . she came by this morning."

"Figures, never tell a Falconeri girl a secret. She can't keep it."

"That's not true about all Falconeri girls."

"Oh yes because you've been with all of us!"

"No, you're the only woman I know who can keep secrets as big as the one's you've got for as long as you do."

"Okay, Sonny you know what you need to leave now."

"I'm not going anywhere until we talk about this baby." He said taking a seat on her couch.

"What is there to talk about? I'm leaving Port Charles to raise this baby back in Bensonhurts on my own."

"You're what?"

"You heard me. It's clear you don't want any more children so I thought I'd take this mistake off your hands."

"What mistake? That baby was made out of love just like Dante."

"Dante was made out of puppy love, during make up sex!'

"Don't you go there" Sonny warned narrowing his eyes.

"I'll go wherever I damn well please and you know that."

"Olivia you're being ridiculous!"

"Oh am I? You're the one who had to come all the way over here-"

Before she could finish Sonny grabbed her and planted his lips on hers. Olivia fought hard to get away but his grip was too firm for her to break away. She finally gave in and let him take her down on the couch. She was limp beneath him as he kissed her neck.

"I need you to go Sonny" She breathed.

"I'm not going anywhere." He whispered in her ear.

"You need to go this cannot happen again."

"You're already pregnant what else could happen?"

"Sonny this isn't funny." She snapped shoving him off. She stood up and opened the door, "Go home Sonny."

He sat on the couch grinning at her.

"What the hell is that look for?"

Sonny walked over to her and shut the door, he pinned her against it.

"I'm not going anywhere Olivia. You need me and that baby needs me." He said his breath hot on her face. Olivia became weak and her knees buckled. Sonny caught her as she began to fall and he carried her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed, "This seems slightly familiar." He said smiling down at her.

"A little too familiar" Olivia breathed.

"Olivia"

She fixed her eyes on him, he had her full attention.

"Tonight I want to make love to you like I never have before, like no man ever has before. If you'll let me."

Olivia lay there shocked by his words. Her heart was saying yes but her mind was saying no. She was torn, desperate and confused. "Sonny" She whispered. "Don't leave e me" The tears began to form in her eyes.

"Liv baby don't cry." Sonny said wiping the falling tears away with his thumb.

Olivia began to shake as she cried harder and harder. Sonny pulled back the covers and placed Olivia underneath them. He started to turn toward the window when Olivia grabbed his arm, "Where are you going?" She cried.

"I'm closing the curtains it's the middle of the day but you're taking a much needed nap." He said pulling the curtains shut.

He crawled in the bed and held Olivia in his arms. She rested her head on his chest where she could feel his heart beating, for her?

Sonny had never seen her this weak before. It wasn't like her at all. He began to wonder If she was like this during her first pregnancy too? He hated himself for all the things he had done to her. She had been his friend, his confidante, his lover, and now the mother of two of his children. Still, he treated her like a friend, only calling her when he needed someone to talk to. As he lay there with Olivia in his arms Sonny knew their lives were about to change drastically. He listened to her now steady breathing, he looked down. Olivia was curled up in his arms sound asleep.
