This is not my first fanfic however; it is the first one that I've gotten the courage to ever publish in the last ten years. I always fall in love with the characters then get annoyed when they don't write them the way I want so I spend some time tinkering with the characters and their story on my own. I've read fanfic ever since I was a teenager and have always wanted to find out if anyone liked mine. I'll publish what I have for this story and if you like it, please let me know because I'll publish more!
The start of the story is a little weaker but it gains strength, so please, keep reading!
OVER TIME - Chapter 1: Disappointment
"I'm sorry honey." Alexis sat down on the patio next to her daughter. "You knew there was a chance that he wouldn't show."
"I thought that maybe after I emailed him about how I booked the hotel, picked the tours, bought tickets for shows and made reservations that he'd see how much I really wanted this." Kristina finally let a tear slip down her cheek after waiting all afternoon sitting on her patio with her bags packed. Sonny hadn't shown for their father-daughter bonding weekend.
"I think that he's still hurting over Brenda leaving and he's definitely not thinking straight. He knows that I will kill him over this." Alexis sighed.
"It's OK Mom. I tried." Kristina swiped at the tear viciously. "I finally tried to get to know him like he asked and give him the chance to be my Dad and he ditched me. I'm not trying again."
"He is your Dad honey;" Alexis said gently as she wrapped her arms around her daughter. "For better or worse he is your father." She rocked her daughter while she cried and sighed.
"We need to talk." Alexis demanded as Jason opened his door the next day.
"What's up?" Jason asked as she stormed into the living room.
"I had to sit and hold my daughter while she cried for hours on my front porch last night." Alexis informed him.
"What's wrong?" Sam came down the stairs, hearing her mother.
"I had a child with a mobster that suddenly lost interest in getting to know his daughter when she went to such trouble to finally inch towards getting to know him." Alexis cried out in frustration.
"Hold on. Start from the top." Jason put up his hands in defence.
"Kristina asked her dad to take a trip; just the two of them so they could bond a bit." Alexis started.
"They decided to go into the city the weekend before her orientation." Sam confirmed.
"Right. She went ahead and booked everything with the credit card he gave her to use to do that when he confirmed with her." Alexis continued. "She emailed him the whole itinerary three weeks ago. She emailed him again last week to tell him how excited she was about it."
"I don't think he's checking his emails." Jason informed her.
"She didn't know that. So she packed her bags three days ago, certain that he'd show up for their weekend since he told her he'd cleared the weekend for her." Alexis nearly screamed.
"Oh, poor Krissy." Sam was getting the picture. "Sonny never showed up."
"She didn't hear from him. Why would she think she was still going? He hasn't been in town for nearly a month." Jason asked.
"She thought that for once, he was serious about getting to know her and love her like a real father. She inched towards him and he pretty much slammed the door in her face by not showing up." Alexis threw her hands up. "If you know how to get in touch with him tell me now." Alexis stepped towards him.
"I can try but I can't promise anything." Jason sighed.
"You tell him he better have a good excuse and he better be ready to do battle with me because this is nothing like he's ever seen before." Alexis picked up her purse and headed out the door. Sam looked helplessly at Jason who picked up the phone.
