Forever In Your Arms Chapter 1
"You won't dare touch me." Carly said to the men in the alley. "Mrs. Corinthos. We will do what we please." said one of the thugs. "Hey. My husband won't let you get away with this." Carly said. She was remembering the night that she was mugged when she lost AJ's rings. "I don't see him around. Do you?" the other thug asked. "Hey. What's going on?" Mike came out of the bar. "Mike. Call for help." Carly said. One thug pushed Carly to the ground and got on top of her. "HELP ME!" Carly cried. Mike punched out the other guy, and tried to help Carly. They saw headlights, and the guy got up and took the other guy by the coat and they ran off. Carly was still laying on the ground when she saw Sonny's face. She couldn't speak. But she did hear Sonny. "Johnny, have Benny take care of them." Sonny said. "Yes, sir." Johnny said. He disappeared. Sonny helped Carly up. "Come on sweetheart." he said. Carly put her arm around Sonny's neck. He picked her up and carried her to the limo. "Let's go home."
Back at the penthouse
Sonny poured her a glass of Brandy and handed it to her. "What were you doing on that side of town?" Sonny asked. "I was trying to get Mike to say he was sorry. Then I saw you were right about his gambling." Carly said. "You didn't believe me before?" Sonny asked. "Yes. I did. It's just that I had to see for myself." "You should have went to Bobbie's like you said." Sonny said standing up from the couch. He walked over and poured himself a drink. "I'm sorry Sonny." Carly said. "I know." Sonny said. Carly was expecting him to yell at her. "You're not mad at me?" Carly asked. "No. I'm to upset to be mad. I could have lost you." Sonny said. "I'm still here." Carly said. "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. I can't lose you. I need you Carly." Sonny said. Carly started to feel the tears coming. "I need you too." "Everytime you walk out that door, I wonder if I'll ever see you again. I have a lot of enemies. I don't want you to get hurt." Sonny admitted. Carly hugged him. "Sonny, I promise I'll be more careful. I won't go back to that bar. I promise." she said. Sonny kissed her gently. Then his cell phone rang. He had to leave on business, so Carly decided to go up to bed. Before she did, she called Bobbie. "Hi mom." she said into the phone. "Carly. I'm glad you called." Bobbie said truthfully. "I decided that I'm not coming over for Thanksgiving. Sonny, Michael and I will have dinner here. Our first Thanksgiving as a family." Carly said. "I'm not doing this because I'm mad." "I know. Well I understand." Bobbie said. "I'm going up to bed. I'll talk to you tomorrow." Carly said. "Okay. Bye." Bobbie said. "Bye." Carly said. She hung up the phone.
The next morning, Carly went downstairs to find Sonny in the kitchen. She snuck up behind him and put her arms around his waist. She kissed his cheek. "Happy Thanksgiving." she said. "Same to you." Sonny said smiling and turning to hug Carly. He kissed her gently. "So I figured you told Bobbie that we were having dinner together." "Yeah. I told her last night before I went up to bed." Carly said. "Okay. Good. I have you all to myself for the day." Sonny said. "Let's not forget Michael." Carly said. "He'll be here too." "Yes. I know. But he goes to bed at 8:00." Sonny said. "Oh. You have something planned?" Carly asked smiling. "Baby, you have no idea." Sonny said. He kissed Carly again.
That evening, Carly and Sonny and Michael celebrated their first Thanksgiving together with a spaghetti dinner. But not before Carly teased Sonny about burning the turkey. "See, even perfect cook Sonny makes mistakes." Carly said. "You're not gonna let me live this one down are you?" Sonny asked. "Let me think..." Carly said putting a finger to her lips. "Ummm. No." she said laughing. Sonny smiled and kissed Carly. "Okay buddy, I think it's past your bedtime." Sonny said to Michael. Carly agreed, and they tucked Michael in in bed.
