A/N: This is my first attempt at writing a fan fiction story. I am a huge fan of the character Georgie. I think that her talent was wasted and wanted to give her a different story. In my story, Diego was killed, but not in the same time period as on the show. Lorenzo was never killed by Jason. He died in a car accident with Sky and Lilarae. Georgie and Diego got together after her divorce from Dillon and she ended up pregnant. shortly afterwards. When Diego died in a mob hit and her family was less than supportive of her being pregnant with Diego's child, Lorenzo sent her to Italy. She has had no contact with her family since, although Maxie has been trying to find her sister. Lulu never had an abortion. Since things have changed in this story to suit me, that means not everything that you saw on the show occurred. I hope it is not confusing, but let me know if you need any clarification.

Disclaimer: I do not own GH or any of the characters. If I did, many of the characters would have had different story line. LOL

Chapter One

Standing on the grassy knoll that overlooked the lake, she exhaled heavily and ran a hand through her hair. The prospect of returning to Port Charles, her hometown, was causing her anxiety to flare. The conditions on which she had fled had not been ideal. Then factoring in the reason that she had compelled to return, and her nerves were shot. Wiping away a stray tear, she blinked to clear her vision. Deep down she knew there was no choice. She had to go back. The decision was already made by circumstances that she had absolutely no control over.

"I thought that I would find you here."

Turning to face that man that had been with her for the last three years, she smiled weakly. "Yeah. I was just thinking. Did you need something?"

Taking in her pale appearance, he wrapped an arm around her slender shoulders, offering her some support. She looked ready to collapse, and he could understand her unease. He was not happy with the situation either. "The jet is fueled and everything is prepared. We will have to leave within the next couple hours if you want to be there for the funeral."

She looked around at the small estate that she had come to think of as her home, already missing the tranquility that it had provided in her time of need. She had come to love the cottage located on the out skirts of Milan. "I'm gonna miss it here."

"We all will." He squeezed her gently before releasing her. "We're going to make sure that you both are safe. It's going to be rough, and you know that people are going to talk, but you just gotta hold your head high."

Looking over at him, she gave him a smirk. "I'm worried about you too, OB. You are supposed to dead. Remember?"

His bright green glowed with humor. "But I'm not and I can't wait to see their expressions. Between you, me, and the other surprises, I think that Port Charles will be in a state of confusion."

"I just wish that he had left everything to someone else. I don't know if I can handle this."

"There was no one else," he reminded her while silently thinking that she was right. The danger was going to come from all sides. It hadn't really been fair that she was put into this position. "We're with you every step of the way, kid. It's your son's legacy, even if you hate it. It's best that you accept things and make a stand now. Because once word gets out about you and him, you will both be targets either way. This way you are as safe as we can make you." He paused and could see that she was reluctantly accepting his words. "Claudia will meet us at the airport."

Her head jerked up and she stared him in shock. "Really?"

"She thought that you could use the support. And with Anthony in the loony bin, her brother is running the family business. With her standing beside you, he will offer the support of the Zacchara Organization as well. They are close and respect one another. He doesn't know yet about you and the will. No one does."

"The Zacchara's weren't in Port Charles when I left."

"Your sister knows him." He made a face. "And he is in an on again off again relationship with Lulu right now."

She chuckled and rolled her eyes. "Doesn't say a lot about his taste. Claudia is going to eat her alive." She paused and took one last look at the lake before starting back to the house with him at her side. "I thought that she was still with Dillon?"

"No. Tracy pitched a fit about their relationship. Lulu was stringing him and couple of other guys on. So Dillon left for LA to stay with Ned. Tracy let him go to get him away from her. They share custody of their little girl though."

"Geez. Even having a three year old daughter doesn't slow her down any." She bit her lip. "I just really dread seeing my family. It was so bad the last time that I saw them, OB."

Johnny O'Brien gave her a reassuring smile. "They are going to love Blake once they meet him. They may not like the situation, Georgie, but they will love your son. Just like they love you. Mac and Maxie just hated the situation that you were in."

"I hope so," she murmured sadly. "But they turned on me over my relationship with Diego, OB. I'm not holding my breath on a warm reception."

"And you fled after the blowup," he reminded her. "They had no way of finding you if they wanted to. Lorenzo kept your location a secret at your request. Not even the guards in Port Charles knew where he sent you after Diego died. Him and Skye dying in the car wreck means that you have to go back. You have to face them, kiddo. All the people that looked down on you are in for a hell of shock. Hopefully, some of them will regret their mistakes."

"I really hope so, OB. I miss my family, but I am not letting them talk trash about my son or his father." Her voice trailed off as she spotted her little boy running toward her with a huge grin. Catching him and tossing him in the air, she laughed. "Because this right here is worth more than anything else in the world."

The Alcazar jet landed in Port Charles a little after three in the morning two days after Lorenzo, Skye, and their daughter had died. Georgie had managed all the arrangements for the funeral via phone, but she knew that she owed to the man that had taken care of her when she had no one else to rely on to be there in person for the viewing and burial. Opening her eyes as the jet touched down, she glanced around and saw that Blake was still sleeping. Claudia was just rubbing her eyes and looking around, along with her two guards. The only ones that looked they had been awake for some time was her and her son's guards. Johnny O'Brien, Francis Corelli, Micah Rona, and Shane Roberts were all preparing to load their charges into the waiting vehicles that would take them to the Alcazar estate that Lorenzo had kept in town.

Yawning, Georgie stretched her cramped muscles. "Did you guys even sleep any?"

Francis nodded. "We caught about five hours. We will be perfectly fine."

Claudia shook her head. "Men," she muttered. "I need at least seven hours." She turned and looked at her main guard. "Is John picking us up, Tony?"

"I called about twenty minutes ago, Miss Zacchara. He was on his way."

"Are you going to be at the services, Claudia?" Georgie asked as she stood and tossed Blake's toys into her oversized bag.

"Of course. I will meet you at the house and ride with you. I don't want you to face this alone."

"Thank you, I really appreciate that."

Francis lifted the still sleeping two year old and the group disembarked from the aircraft. Seeing the three vehicles waiting, Georgie narrowed her eyes at the limo that she knew was their transportation. "Really?" she asked in exasperation.

Micah grinned. "Yep. They are secure. And until we have a handle on the situation in town, you will have to get use to it, Georgie."

She was still frowning when Claudia's squeal of delight caught her attention. Watching as the woman raced into the open arms of the dark haired man standing beside a sports car that had pulled up, she laughed. She had never seen her friend so happy and excited. It was obvious that she had missed her brother more than she let on. Hearing her name, she slowly walked over to the couple as Claudia turned to face her.

"John, this is my friend, Georgianna Jones."

Johnny Zacchara nodded as he looked over the petite brunette. "I've heard a lot about you, Miss Jones. Claudia speaks very highly of you."

"Georgie please. It's nice to meet you." She heard Blake whimper and turned to take him from Francis. Smoothing his jet black hair down and kissing his cheek as he snuggled against her, she flashed Claudia a tired look. "I need to go get him settled. His routine will be completely thrown from the time differences and the new surroundings."

"Of course." Claudia rubbed the toddler's back affectionately. "I will see you around one."

"Call when you are close and we let the guards know to let you in the gate. Full security measures will be implemented as of now." Tensing as another car approached, Johnny placed a hand on the small of Georgie's back. "We need to go, kid. I don't want you in the open right now."

"You are paranoid," she told him, exasperation lacing her words.

The Irishman laughed as he guided her to the waiting limo. "I am supposed to be." With one last look tossed at Claudia, he nodded before they slipped into the vehicle.

"Awful lot of security for a friend of the Alcazar family," Johnny commented as the car that Georgie and the others had slipped into disappeared.

"That's because she is not just a friend of Lorenzo's and Skye's. She is the mother of Lorenzo's grandson."

Choking, Johnny whirled to face his sister. "You never mentioned that. The families are already starting to fight over his property. She and that little boy are going to be in danger, Claudia."

Grimacing, she nodded. "I figured as much, so do the guys."

A thought struck him and he sighed. "Is she related to the police commissioner? He has two daughters, one that I have never met. But Maxie mentioned that she has a sister that she never hears from."

"She is Maxie's sister," she confirmed as they both got in the car. "But they don't know that she is back. They also don't know anything about her son. They turned their backs on her when she found out that she was pregnant with Diego's child."

Starting the car, Johnny flashed her a wicked grin. "I think this small town is about to see some major excitement."

"More than you know. Georgie was left everything until Blake is of age, John. All of it. And her two main guards are men that use to work for Corinthos-Morgan. In fact, Johnny O'Brien almost died after a blotched hit was ordered by Sonny. They think he is dead."

Snickering, he pulled out onto the highway that led back to town. "I thought that Morgan was always accurate." Losing all traces of amusement, he grimaced. "Can she handle the business, Claudia? People are gonna be coming after those shipping lanes and prime property."

"She is going to let O'Brien run things. She wanted to let it go, but they made her realize that she would still be in danger. She is in way over her head, John. I need to know that you aren't going to be gunning for that territory too. Georgie is a close friend. One of the few that I have."

"I admit that I was interested, but only because I didn't want Corinthos to have it. As long as they can keep it secure and her and that boy safe, I will stay out of it. I don't believe in going after women and children," he added with disgust in his voice.

"Good. One other thing, your little Lulu cannot ride with us to the funeral."

His dark eyes snapped to hers and showed his confusion. "You don't even know her. But she is not my little Lulu. She is just someone to pass the time with. I've been bored here, ya know."

"Whatever," she snarked. "But Georgie does know Lulu. Her little girl's father, well, that is Georgie's ex-husband. Lulu slept with him while he was still married to Georgie. Needless to say, I don't think that Georgie will want her around today. While I know that she is over him, you simply don't become friends with a woman that set out to destroy your marriage on purpose."

"Lulu said that Dillon's wife was cheating on him," he answered softly, doubt clear in his tone.

"Because she was friends, only friends, with Diego at that time. They didn't get together till after Georgie was divorced." Claudia snorted. "I am actually looking forward to meeting this little tramp. Georgie is way too nice for her own good."

Knowing that she wouldn't listen even if he tried to protest, Johnny pulled into the parking garage of the apartment building that his penthouse was in. "Just stay out of trouble. Everything here is already a mess. Corinthos is posturing around and acting like he is a shoe in to get the Alcazar territory. He and Vincent Begotti, another head of the families, are already butting heads."

A devilish smile crossed her features and she laughed. "Maybe because Vinnie has been to Milan with Lorenzo several times and has met Georgie and Blake. He is one of the few in the know and backing O'Brien in running things for Georgie. He considers her a daughter of sorts."

"Corinthos is going to stroke out," he warned with an impish grin of his own. Then his amusement fled. "Do you think Morgan will go after a woman if ordered? He is the one that is a worry in that organization."

"There will be hell to pay if he does. But I doubt it. Georgie babysat his wife's oldest son when he was baby. She and Elizabeth were friendly with one another before everything happened and she left. From what I hear, Elizabeth Morgan is loyal to those that she cares about."

"That she is. Elizabeth seems to be a class act."

"I know that OB and Corelli both looked at her as a sister when they guarded her. She certainly has their respect."

Johnny pushed the elevator button and motioned her in first. "Are you staying for a while?"

Ruffling his dark hair in a familiar gesture, she smirked again. "I wouldn't miss the entertainment for nothing. Besides, I think that Georgie will need an ear of someone that understands. She was never a part of this life, John. Diego was careful to keep it away from her while he was alive, and Lorenzo followed his lead. She's a sweet young woman that has no idea of the hell that is about to erupt around her."
