~Something More~

*NEW YORK* QUARTERMAINE MANSION*

 “Courtney why are you going to work so early I thought we were going to sleep in” AJ said to his wife, with a disappointed frown on his face.

“AJ, Honey I kno, I just really need to get to work early today to Help Penny out, after Liz quit so suddenly we have just been totally swamped!” Courtney replied her Husband as she was rushing around trying to find her purse.

“Well it’s like I never get to see you any more with both of us working all the time” AJ continued “I really want to spend some time with my wife” As he said this, he reached for Courtney who Gave him a quick Kiss and grabbed her coat on the way out the door. “Ok AJ I kno what your saying, I do! But I REALLY need to get to work ok? I’ll see you later, I love you” and with that she left to head off to Kelly’s. AJ, knowing he had just been blown off by his own wife was not very pleased in the least bit. “Well Mrs. Quartermaine you better find some time for me or you will have one very pissed off husband to deal with” He sneered as he walked off to get ready for work.

*CALIFORNIA*

On the other side of the country, a very distraught Leah Corinthos was on the phone with her father, learning some incredible news.

“I have a WHAT?!?!?” She screamed into the phone.

“Honey please calm down” Mike soothed his daughter.

“CALM DOWN???? CALM DOWN!!!! I have just found out I have an older brother that I never knew about and you want me to calm down!?!” She was sooo pissed off right now she couldn’t even see straight.

“Ok I know this is hard for you to hear, but there is something else” Mike braced himself for what he was about to tell her.

“Fine spit it out; it can’t possibly be as bad as what you just told me.” Leah remarked.

“Alright, uhh…besides an older brother… you have an Older sister as well” He was now terrified of what she was about to say.

She had no words for what was going through her head at that moment… “A brother and a sister?” she thought. “Holy Shit!!!” she had to hold onto the counter to keep from collapsing.

When she finally found her voice she decided to confront her father about what he had just told her. “How could you have kept them a secret from me all these years?!? I want to know NOW!!!!” she screamed again with as much anger as she was feeling.

Having jumped from her sudden outburst that he knew was coming, he decided it was now or never, and he couldn’t afford not to tell her. “Ok honey” he said as he took a very deep breath “I will tell you everything.”

*Two hours later*

“So we all have the same father, which is you? And I was given up for adoption when I was born because my mom had just decided she wanted a better life for me, and before I could find out about her, she died in a car crash. Am I close??” she whispered into the phone. This was a little too much for her. She just found out her adopted parents weren’t even her real parents and that she had an older brother and sister.

“Yeah, baby everything’s true. I wanted to see if you would come to New York and Meet your brother and Sister.” He was afraid of asking this, because of everything that she had just found out, he didn’t kno what her reply would be. 

She felt like she was about to burst into tears, and she didn’t even know if she was happy about knowing she had a brother and sister. After being silent for what seemed like hours, she decided that maybe she should get more of the facts before she went all the way across country. “Wait; there are other things I would like to know before I just decide to go meet people who I just found out about.” She told her Father, with her voice threatening to break at any minute.

“Sure sweetie, ask away” His thoughts running through his mind about what she would ask him.

“Why did you keep them a secret from me? And do they know who I am?” she asked, worried all the same about his answers, but knowing that she had to figure out what was going on.

“*sigh* alright well, I kept them a secret from you to keep you safe, I knew you would want to go out and find them when you were younger, and I wanted to protect you fro-“

He tried to continue but she interrupted him before he could.

“TO PROTECT ME???? U LIED TO ME AND YOU HAD MY ADOPTED PARENTS LIE TO ME TO PROTECT ME?!?! FROM WHAT DAD?!? MY FAMILY!!!!!” she was livid now. She didn’t know what she was thinking right now but she had to know the truth. “IS THAT IT??? OR AM I STILL TO YOUNG FOR THE TRUTH?!?” she was now shaking so hard she had to stop talking and wait to hear what he said.

“Look, Leah if I knew that you would have been safe with your brother and sister then I would have told you ok? But- no listen to me please” he said as she tried to interrupt him again. “Courtney, Your sister, just found out about sonny a few months ago and she is 22 years old, But to answer your other question, No they do not know about you, so I would really like you to come to New York and meet your Family.” He finished.

She couldn’t believe everything that she had been told, her Brother and sister just found each other, how were they going to react when they found out about her? She decided that it was time to find out. She had been away from them her entire life, and it was now time for her to meet her family. “Ok daddy, let’s go to New York” she said, thinking about what she would say when she saw her family for the first time.

*NEW YORK* PH 4*

Over in New York City, Sonny Corinthos was in his Penthouse with his Wife Carly, who had just put Michael and Morgan to sleep. Sonny walked over to the couch having just talked to Mike, who said that he needed to introduce him to someone. “I can’t believe he is still trying to set me up with someone, he knows I’m married to Carly!” he thought, “He just doesn’t give up, always wanting things done his way.” Right then, Carly decided to interrupt his thoughts.

“Honey, what’s wrong? Who was on the phone?” Carly asked, with a look of concern on her face.

“Oh it was just Mike; he is coming into town again and is bringing someone for us to meet.” Sonny said turning to his Wife.

“Hmmm... I wonder who he’s bringing. Well at least the boys will be glad to see their Grandpa.” She said kissing Sonny before she headed up the stairs to their bedroom.

“*cough* Baby would u mind... Helping me with something… upstairs?” Carly said, with a look of innocence on her face.

Sonny couldn’t help but laugh at how Carly was trying to seduce him, it always worked nonetheless.

“Race you their” she said with a grin, and without another word she raced her husband all the way to their bedroom and pushed him on the bed while kicking the door shut.

*KELLY’S*

Courtney rushed into the diner with her blonde hair flying into her face.

Penny turned to the waitress and greeted her with a smile. “Oh Courtney thank god you’re here! We are totally overrun today, and I could really use some help.” She said while trying to balance 5 different plates of food.

Courtney ran into the back and grabbed her apron and note pad, running back over to Penny she grabbed some of the plates that she was carrying.

“I’m so sorry I’m late, I’m having a rough morning” she said to the other woman, who

Started heading back to the kitchen.

“Hey don’t worry about it, as long as you’re here now everything will be fine. Could you just go to table three and help them out while I go make some coffee?” Penny said, while taking some empty plates from a table nearby.

“Yeah sure, no problem” Courtney said, as she was heading over to the other table, she Noticed that it was a family of Six at the table. “Wow, this is going to be one hell of a day.” She thought.

*DOCKS*

Jason sat on his motorcycle looking out on the water; the docks were his favorite spot, being there seemed to relax him more than anything else. As he was in his calm state of mind his cell phone brought him back to reality.

“Morgan” he said as he answered the call.

“Hey man we have some things to go over about the business; can you come over to the PH?” Sonny said to Jason as he was trying to calm down a fussy Morgan who had just woken up from his nap.

“Yeah sure, I’ll be right there” Jason said as he hung up.

“Well there go’s my 30 seconds of relaxation” he thought as he started his motorcycle and rode off to go to PH 4.
