TITLE: The Interloper
SUMMARY: The truth of Dante Falcorneri has come out. The extended Corinthos family is dealing with the fall out. Not only does Sonny have to deal with the fact that he fathered a son with Olivia; and the fact that she chose to keep the news from him. But, Michael has to deal with having a older brother. Not just a older brother - but a adopted older brother. Will Michael be able to relinquish the role easily? Will he handle the fact that Dante is the true older brother too Morgan and Kristana?
CATEGORY: Family/ Drama/ Friendship/ Angst
RATING: T
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Think Dylan Cash as Michael. The ages are as following: Michael (13), Morgan (10), Kristana (8), Molly (2). Having Dante (24) and so much older than the children; makes better sense. After all Olivia became pregrant when she was what fifteen? So obviously Dante would be so much older than Michael. I know GH is aging Michael and Kristana (perhaps even Morgan) - so when Dante does appear the age difference won't be too much between him and Michael. Better story lines for them. But I just can't age Micheal and Kristana without totally aging Dante (it's just too weird). So Sonny's children ages are the same as Dylan Cash's last showing as Michael.
PRELUDE
PRIVATE THOUGHTS OF MICHAEL
Raising his right eye brow - he looked into the older man's eyes. Well older than he that was. The man was only in his early twenties. Just turned pass legal age by three years. He didn't know what to think about this new addition to his family. He didn't know what to make of his older brother. After all he was the older brother his entire life.
How dare he be expected to relinquish that role. Granted he wasn't the biological son of Sonny. Unlike this young man in front of him. But ever since he was a small boy – he thought of Sonny as his father. He was older half brother to his mother's son by Sonny. Just a adopted older brother to Sonny's only daughter by Alexis. But due to this very unexpected unknown son by Olivia, did that mean Sonny had another daughter by another woman? More sons even?
This son of Sonny and Olivia's was raised as an only child. While he had been raised with a younger brother. Than a younger sister. He had willing risked his life too protect his brother and sister when his dad wasn't around. He was the one whom they went too for protection and answers. He was the older brother to them. As it should be.
Now it was expected of him too relinquish the role over to this stranger. Well he wasn't going to do it. Not by a long shot.
He knew how to protect his younger siblings and he will continue to do so as he had before. He was Michael Corinthos the third. He will protect his siblings, and Molly against every enemy of his dad and Jason's.
He didn't give a damn what Dante Falcorneri did.
