Honestly if you're having that kind of problem then you probably shouldn't be playing the sicilian...

There's only one way to block mate and that's with 3...g6.

 Only one way to defend mate ?!  Come on..... I know you see more than one way....

After 2.Bc4, play e6 instead of d6. This is a better move and will also stop Qh5 if its a worry for you. Play e6 here as well (though mate isn't threatened immediately).
