CHAPTER ONE
The Five Families and the Associates call a meeting. Sonny and Jason are told to be there. There was some business that they needed to discuss with both of them. If they failed to show up their territory would go to someone else. They arrived early. They wonder what this is about. James Garnous of The Five Families greeted them. "Hello Mr. Corinthos and Mr. Morgan. Thank you for coming. We will be starting soon, we are waiting for one more person to show up, planes are notorious for being late. "
"So we are waiting for someone who is flying in for this meeting?" Sonny asked, curious as to who it was.
"Yes." James Garnous cell phone rings and he steps away from Sonny and Jason.
"She has landed and we are on our way there. We should be there in about five minutes." The person informed him.
"I'll take Corinthos and Morgan into the boardroom than. See you soon." James Garnous said into his cell phone. He knows he has very little time to get them out of this room so they don't see who is coming. "Mr. Corinthos and Mr. Morgan please follow me." James Garnous said to them and so Sonny and Jason look at each and since he is one of the Five Families they know they didn't have a choice but to go with him. They were curious as to who was coming in though. James shows them into the boardroom where only three of the Five Families were and they were surprised that the Associates were also there. "Please sit here we will be starting very soon. Do not leave this room or these seats." James said. He walked out of the room and went to greet the person who was coming in.
James went to the entry way and he saw the limo pulling up and Johnny O'Brien opened the door and helped Robin Scorpio out of the limo. James went to greet her. "Hello Ms. Scorpio it is an honor to have you here. I am James Garnous. if there is anything I can do for you please let me know."
"Thank you Mr. Garnous. Can you tell me what I am doing here?"
"All in good time, Ms. Scorpio." James said. "Is there anything I can get you before we go into the boardroom where all of the Five Families and Associates are?
"No, Mr. Garnous I have a lot of questions about why I'm here. I just hope that my questions get answered."
"You never know Ms. Scorpio. Let's go in now I think they are ready for us." James Garnous said.
"Okay. Let's go and get whatever this is over with." Robin said, she didn't like this and she was very curious and wondered why she was here. She hadn't been in Jason or Sonny's life in six months. They walk over to the door and James opens it and he walks in followed by Robin, who almost immediately sees Jason and Sonny, what the hell are they doing here? She wanted to ask, but knew that Garnous would not answer her.
"What the hell is Robin doing here?" Sonny asked.
"Why would the Five Families and Associates bring her here?" Jason asked.
"I don't like this man, I think something is about to happen that we are not going to like. Call it a gut feeling."
"I know I don't like this either. Why would they bring her here it's been six months since she's been here?" Jason asked.
James takes his place as does the other member who just arrived at the table and the chairman begins. "I am sure Ms. Scorpio you are wondering why you are here and why Mr. Corinthos and Mr. Morgan are here and I would say that they are wondering why you are here Ms. Scorpio."
All three of them nod. "Now I won't beat around the bush as to why you three are here. Ms. Scorpio, Duke Lavery was your step-father was he not?"
"Yes he was." Robin answered puzzled if this had to do with Duke why was Jason and Sonny here? She wondered.
"There was a codicil to his will that was not read to your mother. This codicil was read to you, but I bet you didn't understand it when you were only ten years old." Mr. Traylor the chairman asked.
"No sir I did not follow along with what the codicil said. Like you said I was only ten years old. May I ask why does the codicil of Uncle Duke's will matter all these years later?" Robin asked, afraid of the answer.
"Very good question Ms. Scorpio. The codicil of the will is very important. Mr. Corinthos or Mr. Morgan has run the organization for several years now. What they didn't know is they were running it for you. You own the Port Charles territory and you will have to take your rightful place as head of the territories."
"Oh my god, I can't run the organization. I don't want it." Robin said. "There has to be another way."
"There is more to it than that you have a choice. The choice is you kill Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan because he is Sonny's right hand man or to uphold the will, you can marry Jason Morgan."
"You mean those are my only choices, Marry Jason or kill them?"
"Yes those are your choices. And they are your only choices. I realize you have a past with Mr. Morgan and from what I understand it was an ugly breakup but if you don't marry him, they will be killed by you and if you don't kill them you and your family will be killed."
"Mr. Morgan and Mr. Corinthos do you have anything to say?"
"Yes, she betrayed me so why would I want to do this there has got to be another way." Jason said.
"I betrayed you, you stupid, arrogant bastard. You slept with Carly behind my back how many times. I'll tell you months and you can't forgive one thing that I did wrong in your eyes. You really are something else. I have forgiven you and forgiven you and forgiven you and you still want to tell me it's my fault. Where is Michael at? Oh that's right Carly got mad and left you for AJ and now Carly, AJ and Michael are a family and what are you? Out in the cold now. You sacrificed everything for her and what did she do? She did exactly what I said she would do and you blame me you arrogant asshole. You put me on a pedestal and I told you time and time again that I was afraid of heights and when I fell you were supposed to catch me because you loved me. Bullshit. You never loved me not the first time we were together or this last time. You couldn't have loved me and put me through the hell you did and you didn't even notice what was happening the wedge that Carly was making between us and you let her. You let her do anything she wanted. If she wanted diamonds, a fur coat, or whatever her little heart desired and it was okay with you. You made me your mistress, your whore and you made Carly your wife and Michael both of your child excluding me. Your happy little family didn't include me. You didn't even think about the fact that I loved that little boy and after Carly got out of the loony bin she would take him and I missed him, I loved him and you didn't care. Than because I couldn't lie for you anymore you, Sonny and Michael was ripped from me all in one day for being honest which is one of the qualities you both said you loved about me. What you really meant was as long as I was honest about things that you didn't want me to lie about. You can go to hell."
"Ms. Scorpio, will you be killing Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan or are you and Mr. Morgan getting married."
"God I wish I could let them die I wish I could kill them but I can't so yes I will marry Jason Morgan."
Jason Morgan breathes a sigh of relief. Sonny and he was going to live, but Robin was so angry and hurt that this was going to be hell he figured. Had he really done what she said he did? Had he really treated her like she was his whore? He didn't mean to do that. He had loved her with everything in him. He had loved her both times they were together and she didn't believe that. He has his work cut out for him. He wondered if she would ever forgive him. At least he would be alive to earn her trust and love back, but what can he do to get her to trust him again.
"I have a couple stipulations to marrying him, though, I am first not last with him, after all I am saving his life and his best friend's life and he is to be faithful to me, in other words no other women. No Carly, No teenagers named Liz jailbait or anyone else. I am first! Not last!"
"Are you done Ms. Scorpio? Or is there anything you wish to add?"
"No I am finished."
"Good, now the judge is waiting we got special permission to have you married today. What you have to do is sign the marriage license and the judge will marry you. This way we are sure you two are really married. Another thing Ms. Scorpio you will be living back in Port Charles. You will not be returning to France. Your things we will arrange for them to be packed up and brought to Mr. Morgan's penthouse. So now I will let the judge in to get you to sign for the marriage license and have it registered."
The judge comes in and asks if Jason and Robin are ready to get married and they say yes, so the judge asks to see the marriage license to make sure everything is in order and it is. The judge asks if they will love, honor and cherish each other in sickness and in health and when each of them says yes and then he asks for the rings everyone freezes and Robin says they hadn't gotten the rings because they are being sized for them. The judge buys that story and continues and soon he says you may kiss the bride and Jason kisses her and the passion that they have always had was there and Robin pulls away from the kiss not wanting to deal with it right then. The judge signs the license, as do Robin and Jason and then he leaves to file the marriage license. The Five Families tell Jason and Robin the first thing you should do is go buy wedding rings. We forgot about those and this way Robin can have what she wants.
The three of them leave with Robin and Jason being told that they have to live together. The first stop they make is to a jewelry store and Robin chooses an emerald and diamond engagement and wedding ring with matching man's wedding ring. They wait while the saleslady cleans it and polishes the rings. Jason puts the engagement and wedding ring on Robin's hand, then kisses her ring finger hoping to thaw Robin and get her to smile, not gonna happen. Robin slides the wedding ring onto Jason's finger and does the same thing which makes Jason smile. Robin doesn't smile, though. Before today Jason hadn't known how much he really hurt Robin and it was going to take a lot he realized to get her to trust him, let alone love him again. He had hurt her badly and never meant to hurt her at all, all he had wanted to do was protect and love her and he forgot how to show her. He had promised to do that and he hadn't, he had let Carly do whatever she wanted so he could keep Michael. He had let Robin be hurt by her and had not protected Robin in his desire to keep Michael and keep Carly happy so she wouldn't leave with Michael and when Robin tried to protect herself from Carly he sided with Carly no wonder Robin seemed to hate him. He wondered what was going to happen when they got to the penthouse, what will Robin do? He won't have long to wait because they just pulled into Harbor View Towers and something was awaiting them.
