Okay, so this story is about a grown-up Kristina, and up until this point, she's happy with her situation. Please remember that all characters are property of "General Hospital," unless I have made them up.
Music played loudly in the background as Kristina Corinthos-Davis packed her suitcase. "Off for another adventure on daddy's island," she thought, almost annoyed.
Kristina scolded herself, wondering why she'd been acting like this recently.
"Kristina, if you're done packing can you please bring your suitcase downstairs. We have to go soon, honey," her stepmother Carly yelled from downstairs.
Just five more minutes, Carly,"Kristina yelled back. "I'll be right there."
She stuffed two more bathing suits into the already overflowing suitcase and then struggled to get it closed when her older half-brother Michael passed by the room and saw she was having a hard time. "Need some help, Kris?" he asked.
"Yeah, thanks Michael," she replied.
Michael held the cover down as Kristina clamped it shut. "Want me to help carry these?" Michael offered.
"Of course, just take the big suitcase downstairs and tell Carly I'll be right down with the rest of my stuff," Kristina told him.
Michael left and she was alone again. Kristina fingered her beige leather Louis Vuitton suitcase. "If my mom was around, would I still have all this stuff? Would Sonny still treat me the same if I hadn't chose to live with him over Nikolas?" Kristina wondered.
Kristina's mother Alexis lost custody of her when she was eight. Alexis had requested for Kristina to live with her cousin Nikolas, so the court gave her the choice to live with him, or live with her father full-time instead of the usual part-time situation. Kristina loved Nikolas, but she had always loved the time she spent in her father's home more than anything. Sonny treated her like a princess and Carly loved Kristina like she was her own daughter. She had a great half-brother Michael, an awesome little half-sister Thalia, and most important to her, she had a best friend in her half-brother Morgan, who was just a year younger than her. It had been an easy decision for her to choose to live with her father. Now, ten years later, she was still happy with the choice.
