Misunderstandings(Carisi)

"Haven't worn anythin but sweats round the house all week. You wanna look presentable for this 'friend' but not for me?" He complains, raising his voice, and stands up, stomping out of the room and slamming the door behind himself.

You do feel bad, you know that you have been distant this week. You just can't be around Sonny, he knows you too well. He can tell when something is up, as seen just now, and you aren't ready to tell him yet. So you finish your makeup then grab your bag and head out to the living room to get your shoes. You chose your black booted heels, and look over at Sonny for a moment, debating what to say or do. He is sitting at the counter, a beer in hand, clearly pissed off.

You walk over and give him a kiss on his cheek, moving a loose piece of hair out of his face. "I'll be back in a few hours." You mutter, then walk out the door without another word. He turns back to face the door, staring at it for a moment, feeling the pain in his chest. He wants to trust you, but you have never acted like this before. He takes another big swig of his beer then slams it down, pulling on his shoes and grabbing his keys, heading out to his unmarked police car to follow you.

He successfully trails you to the strip mall, parking across the street as he watches you wait outside of a store for someone. He prays that he is wrong, that it will just be one of your girl friends and he is overthinking. But then he sees a man with dark black hair approach you and you smile at him, giving him a big hug. He feels the rage building up in his body as he stares at you talking and laughing with this man he has never seen before. It takes everything in him to not go over and beat the guy up, but he tries to wait and see what you two do.

He follows you guys to a little outdoor cafe, where you sit side by side and talk. It certainly looks like you are on a date. From how far away Sonny is, he can't quite see your facial expressions, but to him it looks like you are having a good time. Then he sees you rest your head on this man's shoulder, and he draws the line. Clearly you are on a date, and he is furious. He gets out of his car, slamming the door shut hard, and stalks across the street to where the two of you sit. "Are ya serious?!" He hollers, startling you, who quickly take your head off of the man and sit up straight. Sonny walks right up to the guy and lifts him off his seat by his collar, preparing to hit him until you jump up and get in the way. "Sonny stop!" You scream, shoving him. He stares at you, enraged that you are taking this guy's side over his.

He releases the guy, turning his attention to you. "I can't believe you followed me!" You exclaim, not caring that you are causing a scene.

"What was I supposed to do?! You have been weird all week, I knew you were cheating on me! How could you?!" He hollers, his eyes unintentionally tearing up at he stares at you. He had taken notice of your smeared makeup and red eyes, but said nothing, not putting two and two together.

"Cheating?! Zack is my cousin! My gay cousin! That I have told you all about!" You exclaim, shoving Sonny again angrily. He turns to look at the guy, who stands there, arms crossed, and gives him a sassy look. Sonny looks back to you, suddenly feeling crazy.

"You could have told me you were going out with him then! Not just 'a friend'! The hell was I supposed to think, seeing you laying all over some guy here?!" He yells, his tone a little lower than before. He is so frustrated, he doesn't wait for you to reply, just stalking back across the street to his car. You follow after him, not finished with him yet. "I cannot believe you followed me!" You exclaim, causing him to spin right back around.

"You have been avoiding me all week! Changed the password on your phone, closing your laptop when I'm around! Never being on the phone around me, you haven't even acknowledged me all week!" He replies, and you feel your heart sting as you see his heartbroken face. You hadn't realized you were being that distant, that it affected him so much.

"I..." You start, not sure what to say.

"Forget it." Sonny huffs, getting into his car, slamming the door again, and drives off, leaving you standing there feeling guilty.

Later that night, you come home, closing the door behind you quietly. You have to tell him the truth, you just don't want to. You head to your bedroom and spot him laying there, television on, looking miserable. He is happy when he sees you, though he doesn't let that be shown. He was worried that you wouldn't come home.

"I'm pregnant." You announce from the doorway, getting it over with. His head shoots to look at you and he sits up straight. "I've been doing research all week on my laptop and I have been on the phone with Amanda and Zack, trying to figure out what to do. I've been avoiding you cuz I didn't know how to tell you." You explain, arms crossed as you lean against the doorframe, your face emotionless. You are mad that Sonny followed you and caused a scene, but you do understand why he did.

He only stares at you, his eyes wide, clearly stunned. Everything makes sense to him now. You feel like he doesn't believe you so you walk over to your side of the bed and put your password into your laptop, handing it to him. You have four different tabs up about pregnancy and doctors in the area. He stares at the page for a while, trying to process this, then places the laptop aside and stands up.

"I'm so sorry doll." He mutters, his eyes tearing up again. You huff and open your arms to him, letting him envelope you in a big hug. "I should have just talked to you. I'm so sorry." He mutters, running his hands through your hair and down your back. He is afraid to let you go, and it feels so good to have you back in his arms.

"Yes, you should have." You start, talking against his hard chest. "But I understand how you must have felt. I'm sorry too." You say, pulling back with your arms still around his torso, leaning up as a sign for him to kiss you. He cups your face leans down, kissing you passionately, melting into your presence.

When you pull away, he grins at you happily. "What?" You ask, confused by his sudden change of emotion.

"I'm gonna be a dad?" He asks, and you smile at him, nodding. He picks you up, spinning you around the room and kisses you again before setting you down. "This is great!" He begins rambling about all of the stuff he has to do and how to prepare, pacing around the room and you just sit down and watch him, shaking your head adoringly.
