Chapter 1
Skye's Penthouse
San Francisco
1 month later
After she arrived in San Francisco Skye threw herself into her work. As it turned out she was very good at what her father arranged for her. So she was happy about that, but other than her work she was lonely. She had a few friends, but she kind of missed the Quartermaines and their fighting. But she hadn't gotten the courage to call them yet, but maybe that was because she was afraid to tell them.
Skye opened the door to her penthouse and stepped inside. She was about to go into the kitchen, but then a voice stopped her dead in her tracks and she jumped.
"Hey Skye," said the voice.
"AJ, what are you doing here?" Skye demanded walking into the living room.
"Looking for you of course," A.J. replied.
"How did you find me?"
"Simple, you needed a job and don't like to use your trust fund so I decided to see if Chandler Enterprises had you on their payroll. So how are you, sister dear?"
"I'm fine, so now you can go back to Port Charles and tell the family."
"Whoa, whoa not so fast. Why did you leave?"
"I just needed to start over."
"I'm not buying that."
"Well too bad, because it is the truth."
"It maybe, but it's not the whole truth right?"
"That's all I'm going to give you."
"Skye, c'mon you can tell me.'
"How nice of you to show some concern."
"You can tell me or tell dad."
"Why would I tell him now?"
"Because he's here looking for you. When we found you I thought it might be best if I talk to you first."
"He's here?"
"Yeah."
"Well tell him I'm fine and go back to Port Charles," said Skye rising but AJ grabbed her arm.
"Skye, please don't do this."
"Do what?"
"Fight me like this, just tell me."
"Fine, but can we do this after I eat?"
"Yeah, sure."
"You want something?"
"Water, if you got it."
"Bottled?"
"That's fine."
"Coming right up."
15 minutes later…
Skye and AJ were sitting at the dining room table sipping their drinks, two bottled waters. AJ was determined to find out why Skye left so suddenly.
"So why did you leave?" asked AJ
"You sure don't waste any time do you?"
"Nope, so spill."
"Ok, it all started when I met Stefan Cassadine."
"Stefan Cassadine?"
"Yes Stefan Cassadine. Are you going to let me finish?"
"Go ahead."
"So I met him and I liked him. He seemed like a nice guy and we had a nice little chat. After that we kept running into each other all over the place. So we decided to start seeing each other."
"How come I didn't know about this?"
"AJ…"
"Ok, I'm sorry continue."
"We started seeing each other and were together up until a month ago and we broke up."
"So that's why you left town?"
"Well, just until I could get myself together."
"But there's something more isn't there?"
"Why would you think that?"
"The look in your eyes?"
"AJ I already told you about Stefan, please don't push it."
"Skye just tell me."
"AJ…I can't."
"Yes, you can."
"No I can't, I'm not ready."
"You have to tell someone sometime. Wouldn't it be better to tell me first before Dad?"
"Well I…maybe."
"Then tell me."
"Promise you won't overreact?"
"I promise."
"A.J. I'm pregnant."
