A/N: This part concludes Warring Hearts. In later installments there will be more Jake/Kristina but this part of their story is complete. I purposely left some stuff unsaid and unanswered…it will all be answered eventually.

Thanks for your awesome reviews, they seriously rock.

"I'm not a good guy Kristina"

They were the last words he uttered before their torsos were pressed against each others, her back up against the wall of the Metro Court, tongues dancing, hands tangled in hair.

When he pulled away he cupped her cheeks looking into her eyes wildly before crashing his mouth back upon hers. It was one of those kisses that makes heat rush through your body…all the way from her toes to scalp…it felt like being on fire, and she never wanted it to stop.

The door to the terrace suddenly opened and Kristina pushed Jake away roughly parting them. Carly sashayed through the door a wide smile on her face.

"Jake, I didn't know you were out here!" she exclaimed.



Out of the corner of her eye she saw Kristina, "Oh, and Kristina" she added sounding puzzled.

Kristina smiled a guilt laden smile, "Nice to see you Carly, and Jacob…I better be going now" she said before making a beeline out the door not stopping until she was safely tucked in behind the wheel of her Bentley.

On the way home she almost missed a stop sign, her exit, and the turn in to her building. Somehow she finally made it upstairs and through her door. Flipping on the light she screamed.

"Molly, what the hell are you doing sitting there in the dark?" she asked her heart beating wildly in her chest.

Her sister narrowed her eyes at her, "Where have you been? I've been here forever and you and do Jack and you not believe in eating? I swear you have spoiled milk and top ramen, what the hell is up with that?" she asked.

"I was out with Sam and Danny shopping and then we had dinner at the Metro Court" she told her shuffling past her and kicking her shoes into her room.

Molly grabbed her arm, "Yeah after that buddy, I talked to Sam an hour ago she said she had left you at the Metro Court" she asked.



Looking at her feet, "Okay can we pretend you're not interrogating me Counselor?" she asked stripping off her shirt and pulling on a tank.

"You were with Jake, weren't you??" she accused.

Trying to cover the shock she looked annoyed, "What?" she asked pulling her bottom lip between her teeth and hoping her voice wasn't wavering.

"Oh God you were…and don't even think of lying because once you start chewing on your bottom lip and touching your ear, you are lying" Molly told her hands on hips.

Kristina slumped onto the couch, "Yes I saw Jake there, okay, happy now? God how did you know" she asked closing her eyes.

"Well for one…you came in here all flushed…second, Jake lives at the Metro Court" she explained sitting down next to her.

"Such a lawyer's kid" Kristina told her hitting herself in the face with a throw pillow.

Molly rolled her eyes, "Takes one to know one" she said grabbing the pillow.

"So what happened? I swear the way he was eyeing you at breakfast I was going to tell him to pour some salt on you before he devoured you with his eyes"



Shooting a look at her Kristina sighed, I don't know Mol…its like I can't control myself…and that is so not like me and it's infuriating…and intoxicating at the same time" she admitted.

Leaning her head on her, "What are you going to do?" she asked.

"Stay away from Jacob Morgan" she said nodding.

The next morning her resolve was intact…all she had to do was stay away from Jake…Jack would be home that night and everything would just go back to the way it's always been. Grabbing her satchel she got the paperwork ready and drove downtown. Midway through her drive her cell started to ring.

Hitting the button in her car made Maxie's voice boom throughout, "Change of plans, can you drop the paperwork off at the Penthouse instead of the office…Mase has a tummy ache and I haven't been able to get out of here this morning" she explained.

"No problem, see you in fifteen" Kristina said turning down the next street and cutting back across town.

Harborview Towers was still one of the properties her father owned and was still one of the best places to live in Port Charles. Kristina knew it well. Her parents had both lived there…and the stories about PH2 and PH4 were a bit of folklore to her. One night of too much eggnog at Christmas had even caused someone to tease that 

she was conceived in the Penthouse that the Jones-Spinelli's resided in…which was way too disturbing to entertain thoughts of.

Pulling in she parked and made her way to the private elevator. Punching in the code she took her way up to the private floor. The elevator dinged and a bickering couple stood on the outside.

Jason Morgan had married Elizabeth Webber in the winter of 2009…in the fall of 2012 he died. They managed to save him that night…but after the blunt force trauma to the head and his heart stopping they didn't know what he would be like if he woke up from the coma.

Six months later Jason Morgan woke up…but Jason Morgan was dead…somehow he woke up with the memories of Jason Quartermaine and the memories of Jason Morgan all mixed up in his head. Three months after that he left the divorce papers in Port Charles and wound up at her doorstep in Rome.

A wedding in Lila's rose garden, one surprise baby, fifteen years of marriage and Jason and Brenda Morgan were still in love…and still arguing.

"Kristina!" Brenda exclaimed turning away from him, "Nice to see you" she said with a hug.

"You too Brens"



Jason gave a small shake of the head, "Kristina" he acknowledged.

When she was younger he had been Uncle Jason…her fathers best friend…somewhere around the time her brother was shot they fell apart…the marriage to his father's first true love seemed to drive that wedge even further. Now he was just Jason Morgan…Jake's father. That just made things all the more awkward.

"I better get in to see Maxie" she said holding up the file and avoiding those ice blue eyes.

Brenda waved as they stepped into the elevator continuing their discussion.

Knocking on PH2 she heard a crash and then the door swung open. Blond haired, brown eyed Georgia Chanel Spinelli stood there in her designer shoes, laptop in hand.

"Mason just barfed on Mom's Jimmy Choos and she is having an uber meltdown" she explained letting Kristina in.

Setting her stuff down she made her way upstairs, third door to the left, little Mason Jones Spinelli laid on his bed his brown hair sticking to his forehead.

"Hey Mase"



He gave a slight wave in her direction and she followed the trail of under breath mutterings and found her furiously scrubbing at her shoe in the sink.

"Not the brown suede" Kristina said eyeing the shoe.

Maxie turned to her "My two babies, both sick" she said throwing the shoe on the ground.

"I brought the papers over, they're on the table…but I need a favor" she asked giving that thousand watt smile.

The blonde turned to her arching an eyebrow, "What?"

Kristina sat on the edge of the tub, "Jack comes home tonight…I need lingerie, I am going to seduce my husband" she said laughing.

"This should be weird since I watched you grow up…and I'm oddly not bothered…so let's go hussy you up" she said excited.

"Mason baby, you okay" Maxie asked before walking down the hall.

A goofy smile came to his face, "I feel better now that I barfed" he said.

"Well that's great" Maxie said dryly shaking her head.



They walked towards Maxie's sample room, "Alright, let's see…no too pretty, too frilly, yuck, um too stripper" she said going through the pile of outfits.

"Oh perfect" she said pulling out a black teddy.

Stripping down she pulled the teddy on, it was strapless, black, the boy shorts accentuating all the right curves and her long limbs.

Maxie sighed, "Oh before I had babies I could fit in those samples" she complained.

Rolling her eyes, "Please you still have a perfect body" Kristina said changing back into her clothes.

Looking in the mirror Maxie posed, "I do" she said laughing.

"Thanks for this, paperwork is on the table, I'll stop by Wednesday to pick it up" she told her before making her way down the stairs.

Georgia's head was buried in the laptop, "Bye Georgia" she waved.

"Bye Kris" she said eyes still glued to the screen but offering a wave.

In the lobby she almost smacked right into Carly, "Kristina, you just seem to be showing up everywhere" she remarked with a smirk.



"Dropping paperwork off to Maxie" she tried to explain away.

"Anyway nice to see you Carly" she said before moving to walk past her.

Carly stepped in front of her, "You know that Jason and I are tight, right? Morgan is named after him…I love Jacob as my own…and we kind of look out for each other's kids" she said the dual meaning not lost.

Kristina smiled annoyed at the overt passive aggressive comment, "That's really awesome…everyone should wish for a best friend like that" she told her smiling sweetly.

Perching her hands on her hips Carly looked at her, "What is going on with you and Jake?" she asked.

Her stomach rolled but she steadied her chin and leveled a Cassadine gaze that even Spencer would be proud of, "Nothing that concerns anyone besides Jacob and I" she said before walking passed her and out to her car.

Jumping in she let the breath she had been holding out and grabbed her phone.

"What's up Princess?" Morgan answered.

Kristina rolled her eyes at the nickname, "Okay so I need a favor" she asked pulling her SUV out into traffic.



"Shoot"

"I need you to tell your mom that you are dating Mackenna" she announced.

She heard him sputter and cough before he got back on the line, "Are you crazy?" he asked.

"God Morgan, she is going to find out sooner or later that you are dating Robin's daughter"

"I'd rather it be later…anyway why do you need me to do this again?" he questioned.

"Remember the time you told me that I had to tell Dad that I threw the cat in the koi pond…I didn't ask why….I just went to dad and told him that I did it…because you asked me to" she reminded him.

"Oh like that isn't emotional blackmail" he complained.

"Never-" she started.

He cut her off, "But…Corinthos kids against the world, right?" he asked taking her back in time.

"Right"

"You so owe me"



Beaming, "My first born" she teased.

"And Kay…whatever is up…I hope you're okay"

"Love you Morg"

"Yeah you too Princess"

When she came into the apartment she made sure it was spotless, stripped the sheets off the bed and replaced them with satin ones, ordered fresh flowers in, made sure dinner would arrive promptly at seven. Next she took a long bubble bath, shaved her legs, conditioned her hair...after came the lotion, perfume, rollers in her hair and makeup. The airport called to tell her the jet had landed and she lit the candles, and pulled on the black teddy…tonight was going to be perfect.

As soon as the door opened she stood there in her four inch stilettos and the teddy bathed in candlelight.

Jack dumped his bags inside the door and flipped on a light, "Why is it so dark in here?" he asked.

Confused she walked down, "Hey baby" she said making a move to circle her arms around his neck.



Instead he ducked her movement, "Not right now Kris…I'm exhausted" he said walking passed her.

Her mouth hung open as he made his way to the bedroom…and the emotions swirled in her head…in her heart and she followed.

"What the hell do you mean you're tired…I haven't seen you for days, I am practically naked and you want to sleep? What happened to us Jack, you use to not be able to keep your hands off of me" she asked her voice getting higher with each syllable.

Brown eyes met hers, "Do you have to start with the hysterics?" he asked.

"Screw you" she said pulling open her closet and grabbing clothes out.

She stripped off the outfit and threw it at him before pulling on a pair of jeans and a tank. He didn't even try and stop her from leaving and when as she grabbed her keys she just shook her head the hurt and disgust all mixing into one.

There were moments in her life where she could pinpoint exactly when her Corinthos genes would come into play. Sure she color coordinated her socks, had everything in the pantry in alphabetical order, had the tendency to ramble when nervous…and then there were the times she threw caution to the wind, was reckless, damn near self destructive.



So that night when she knocked on Jake's hotel room door…she knew she was a Davis-Cassadine-Corinthos girl…through and through.
