Chapter 11

One Week Later

Molly Davis was sitting at a table in Kelly's she was with her brother and her cousin. Milo sat two tables away from them, he was close enough to be there if they needed anything, yet far away enough to give them their privacy.

"What are we going to do today, Mol?" Morgan asked his sister. He knew that Molly wasn't really his sister, but he still loved her as much as he loved Kristina and Sam.

"It's not like we have many choices, right now our only options are the gray stone, Wyndemere, and the lake house. Unless of course we manage to give Milo the slip." Spencer said with a sigh. He got that they were in a lot of danger at the moment but that still didn't mean he liked being followed around like he was a prisoner.

"I don't think that it would be a wise idea to give Milo the slip. I'm fairly sure that Jason would come track us all down and give us the lecture of a lifetime. I don't know about you boys, but I rather not sit through one of Jason's lectures." Molly replied.

"We could always go out to Spoon Island and go horseback riding." Morgan suggested. That sounded fun to him, although anything was better than being followed around by his dad's guards.

"We do get a little more privacy out there than we do anywhere else." Spencer agreed with his cousin.

"Privacy could be a good thing." Molly said thoughtfully.

"I still say that slipping Milo would be a good idea." Spencer pouted. At thirteen he was the most impetuous of the group. Somehow he had turned out a little bit like Sam.

Before either Molly or Morgan could reply to that Ric came sliding over to the table.

"Can I help you?" Molly asked him politely.

"Wow, Molly, I can't believe how big you have gotten." Ric said looking over his only daughter.

"Ric?" Molly asked she knew her father only through pictures but she was sure that this was him.

"Is that any way to talk to your father?" Ric asked her with an arched eyebrow.

"You're not my father." Molly spit back through gritted teeth.

" I shudder to think what your sister has said to poison you against me." Ric was of course referring to Sam.

"Don't talk about my sister." Morgan said hotly he knew that he was talking about Sam.

"Ric, you need to step away now." Milo said coming over to the group.

"You can't tell me to walk away from my own daughter." Ric replied with a sinister sneer on his face.

"Ric, you have no rights to her you signed them all away. Now I suggest you walk away before things get ugly." Jason came out of nowhere. This was the confrontation that Sam had been trying to avoid all week. So of course he ran into Ric while he was alone.

"I'm walking away for now, but just know that I will be back for my daughter. She has no business being around a thug like you, Morgan." Ric let the threat hang in the air as he walked back out the door.

"Milo, I want you to take Spencer to Alexis' house, I'm going to take Molly and Morgan to Sonny's place." Jason ordered the man.

"Will do boss." Milo agreed quickly.

Molly looked close to tears and Jason wrapped one of his massive arms around her shoulders. "Everything is going to be ok, Molly Girl, I won't let anyone take you away from us." He assured her pressing a kiss to her temple.

"I don't like this one little bit, dad. Ric isn't one to just let things go this long. I wish he would just make a move so that I have something to react to." Sam stressed going to the cart where her father kept his booze. She poured herself an inch of scotch in the bottom of a glass and drained it.

"Sam, calm down. I know that this isn't the most ideal situation, but we are going to get through this. I promise you that no one will take your son away from you." Sonny swore to his daughter.

"Sis, Pop is right none of us are going to let Jake be taken away from you." Dante tried to calm his sister's fears.

"Dante, you don't understand you came into the picture after Ric left. You have no idea what he is capable of." Sam ranted at her oldest brother. At least he was the oldest brother that they knew of. With Sonny there was no telling how many more kids he had running around out there.

"Sam is right I don't really remember the time that mom was married to Ric, but I do remember that he could be downright cold sometimes." Kristina informed her brother.

"He has another thing coming to him if he thinks that he is going to take Molly or Jake. He signed his rights to Molly away and Elizabeth has no rights to Jake at all." Sam went on a tirade. She couldn't take playing the waiting game any longer. It was about to drive her nuts and she needed to keep her sanity for the sake of her children.

"Sam, no one is going to take either one of them. Lila and Jake are safe right now; they are out in the yard playing with Carly and Michael. You have nothing to worry about at all." Sonny reassured her.

"Sonny, you've got a problem." Jason said as he ushered Molly and Morgan into the room.

"What did Claudia do this time?" Sonny asked. He knew that his adopted daughter had a tendency to get into trouble when left to her own devices.

"Claudia hasn't done anything that I know of lately. This isn't about Claudia anyway." Jason replied.

"Then what is this about, Jase?" Sam asked her boyfriend.

"I went to Kelly's to grab some food and I found Ric there harassing Molly." Jason explained.

"Come here little one." Sonny said opening his arms to his youngest daughter.

"Daddy, please don't let him take me away from you and mommy." Molly begged the only father that she had ever known clinging tightly to him.

Sonny pressed a kiss to her forehead. "You aren't going anywhere, no one is going to take you away from me and your mother. Jax wouldn't let that happen, Carly wouldn't let it happen, Your Uncle Stefan would walk through fire to make sure that it didn't happen, your Aunt Kristina would die before she allowed anyone to take you from us. And most importantly your mother and I would never let it happen." He swore to her. He brushed some of the tears that had fallen from her eyes away with the pads of his thumbs.

"He said that I had no business being around a thug like Jason." Molly cried into his chest.

"Molly Girl, you're not going anywhere. You and I are old pals, I won't let anyone do anything to hurt you." Jason promised her and he was rewarded with a smile from Sam. "Where are the kids?" he asked he didn't see his children anywhere and it wasn't like Sam to let them out of her sight.

"They are outside playing with Carly and Michael. I was a little keyed up when I first got here and dad didn't think it would be a good idea if they were around when I exploded." Sam explained to him.

"I'm going to go outside and see them, I haven't seen them since we put them to bed last night." Jason said. Even through they spilt their time with their kids fifty-fifty they were both always around at bedtime.

"Jason, I would appreciate it if you would send Michael in when you go out there." Sonny told him.

"I'll do that, Sonny." Jason said before stepping out on the patio.

Sonny sat down on the couch and he sat Molly on his knee. He then gestured for Sam to come over to him and he sat her on his other knee. "Molly Sophia Natasha Davis-Corinthos, I promise you that no one is going to take you away from your mother and me." he swore to her before turning to Sam. "Samantha Alexandra Kristin Davis, I will not allow anyone to take your son from you ever again." He promised his oldest child.

"Daddy, I don't know what to do and I always know what to do. I hate to admit it, but I'm scared of losing my little boy." Sam admitted the tears she had been holding back finally making their way down her face.

"It'll be ok, Sammy, even if I have to do some things that I'm not proud of no one is going to take Jake again." Michael swore to his sister. No one had even heard him come in the patio door.

"Michael Joseph Corinthos the third, you will not think of doing anything remotely illegal. If you want me to keep my sanity you will stay safe and out of the reach of the law." Sam lectured her little brother.

"Whatever you say, Sammy." Michael agreed not wanting to fight his sister on this one.

"I'm calling Johnny, if he isn't going to take school seriously then he is going to do something to make himself useful." Sonny said moving his daughters so he could stand up.

"Why are you calling Johnny?" Kristina asked her father.

"I want him with Molly at all times that way Max and Milo are free to focus on you, your niece, and your nephew." Sonny answered punching so numbers into his phone.

"Are you going to get that, John?" a female voice asked Johnny when his phone rang.

"No, I'm not going to answer that, I'm pretty sure that it's my dad and I don't think I want to have a conversation with him right now." Johnny replied. He was lying in bed with the woman and they were both in the buff.

"John, if you don't answer that damn phone then I am going to." The woman said when his phone started going off again.

Johnny reached for his phone blindly and he snagged it off of the nightstand. "This is Johnny." He answered. "What's up, Pop?" he asked after he had listened to Sonny for a moment. "Ok, I'll be right there."

"What did he want?" the woman asked him.

"I have to go watch over my sister." Johnny said getting out of bed. He started a mad search for his pants.

"Which sister?" She asked him.

"Molly, apparently her biological father is back in town and he is threatening to take her away. Pop wants me to stay with her at all times so he doesn't have the chance to try anything." Johnny explained having finally found his pants.

"You are a great older brother, John." She told him with a smile.

"I'm not so great at being a younger brother though." Johnny scoffed pulling his shirt over his head.

"You're a pretty great younger brother too." She replied.

"I'm pretty sure a good younger brother wouldn't be doing what I'm doing right now." Johnny mumbled.

"We're not doing anything wrong, John." She protested. She was quite a bit older than Johnny old enough to be his mother in fact.

"Something tells me that I know a guy who wouldn't see things that way." Johnny replied with a chuckle. He sat down on the edge of the bed and began putting his shoes on.

"Don't worry about him, I'll take care of it if it ever becomes a problem." She assured him. She didn't know what she was doing with a man who was young enough to be her son and was in fact younger than her son. She didn't really care about his age though, they had fun together and that was all that mattered to her.

"If it becomes a problem I'm fairly sure that Jason will be deposing of my body out in the Pine Barrens." Johnny joked. It would have been funny if he had been sure that it was a joke.

"You're overreacting as usual. It's not going to get to that point. We're being careful about this and no one but us ever has to know that we enjoy each other's company." She swore to him running her fingers through his curly black hair.

Johnny took her writs and pinned them down on the bed. "When you put it like that I can't help seeing things your way." He had an impish grin on his face as he leaned down and captured her lips between his. He took a moment to admire the woman underneath him. Her long brown hair framed her head like a halo and her olive skin was still taut despite her age.

"Good, because I do have a tendency to be right, you just have a tendency to not listen to what I tell you." She replied in a seductive voice.

"Don't start something that we can't finish. As much as I like where this is going, I have to go. I don't want Pop to blow a major gasket if I don't make it to the house in the time frame that he finds acceptable. As a matter of fact he is going to pissed that I wasn't at the house five minutes ago." Johnny replied stealing one last kiss before he had to go.

"Hey Jase, I didn't expect to see you here this early." Carly greeted her best friend brightly.

"Some things came up with Molly that I had to take care of and I figured that I better bring her over here." Jason replied with a shrug.

"Ric?" Carly asked him even though she knew that that man was the problem. She could read Jason just like an open book.

"Yeah, he was giving Molly a hard time. I swear to God, Carly, it took everything that I have in me not to punch his lights out right there in Kelly's." Jason said with a long sigh.

"It's a good thing that you didn't, that would have been giving him what he wants. He would like nothing better than to be able to put you in jail." Carly advised him, not that she had any business giving anyone advice.

"I know," Jason acknowledged and he really did know that he had to be careful where Ric was concerned. "Have the kids been good?" he asked inclining his head in the direction his children were in.

"As you can see they are enjoying themselves on the swing set. They are really well behaved." Carly answered his question.

"Car, I can't let them take Jake away, it would kill Sam." Jason stated the obvious.

"Jake isn't going anywhere, just let Nurse Floor Whore try to take him away. She has never had to deal with his Momma Carly before and trust me when I say that she doesn't want to either." Carly reassured him. She wanted to be Jason's rock for a change he was always there for her and now it was time for her to return the favor. He had been there for her since the moment that she came to town. Hell he had even taken care of Michael when she hadn't been able to. Part of her still felt bad for taking Michael away from him and letting Sonny raise him. For all intensive purposes Michael was Jason's oldest son. That was part of the reason why she was always meddling into his love life she felt like she owed him.

"So that's what you're calling yourself now?" Jason asked chuckling. Leave it to his friend to refer to herself as Momma Carly.

"Yes, Sam and I agreed that it was a totally fitting title for me." Carly replied with her usual devilish smirk.

"Carly, I honestly don't know what to do with you sometimes." Jason could only shake his head at her.

"If you didn't have me to deal with then your life would be boring and you know it." Carly smiled up at him.

"If I didn't have you to deal with that would be one less mess I had to clean up. Honestly, you're not even in the business and I still have to clean up after you." Jason joked with her.

"Hey, I take offence to that." Carly said sounding highly indignant.

"DADDY!" Lila and Jake squealed as they went running into their father's arms effectively saving him from having to reply to Carly's last statement.

Jason scooped both children up off of the ground. "Hi guys," he said kissing them each on the head.

"Daddy, I see your motorcycle today?" Jake asked him brightly. He had been pestering Jason to see his bike every since he found out that he had one.

"We'll have to see, but I think that I can arrange that." Jason replied after pretending to think it over.

"The apple didn't fall far from the tree." Carly commented.

"It's Sonny's fault he is the one who gave him that toy motorcycle. He even sleeps with it." Jason replied.

"I missed you, daddy." Lila told him kissing him on the nose.

"I missed you too princess." Jason replied. It warmed his heart every time that he got to interact with his kids.

"Jason, let me take Lila to go get washed up and then you can show Jake that thing that you keep here in the garage." Carly suggested to him.

"Are you sure you don't mind? Sonny is in there with all of his kids and I don't want you to have to watch her because Sam is busy." Jason asked but he was really looking forward to getting to bond with his son.

"I'm sure that I don't mind, Lila and I have fun together." Carly held out her arms and Lila allowed her to take her from Jason.

"I love you, Momma Carly." Lila told her sweetly.

"I love you too Sweet Pea." Carly said carrying her off.

XXXXXXXXXX

A few minutes later Jason was in the garage with Jake. "Well, Jake, what do you think?" he asked his son pointing at his shinny black motorcycle. He didn't get a chance to go riding as much as he liked to so he kept his bike at Sonny's house until he felt the urge to use it.

"Way cool, dad." Jake said excitedly.

"Did you want to sit on it?" Jason asked him.

"Can I really?" Jake asked his big blue eyes going wide.

"Of course you can." Jason sat down on his bike and then he lifted his son up so that he was sitting in front of him.

Jake put his hands on the handlebars and then Jason rested his larger hands on top of his. "This is the accelerator, you pull it back to make the bike go." He explained and he demonstrated how it worked by pulling back on it slightly.

"Jake go for a ride?" Jake asked his dad hopefully.

"One day when you're bigger I promise that I'll take you for a ride." Jason swore to him. That was one promise he intended on keeping no matter what.

"When I get big can I get a yellow motorcycle like the one grandpa gave me?" Jake was so full of questions. He really was just like Sam when it came to things like that.

"I think that we'll have to talk to mommy about that. Between you and me though, I would be more than happy to get you a bike." Jason replied ruffling his son's hair.

"I think that that will have to wait until he is much bigger." Sam said from the doorway that led from the house to the garage. She quickly snapped a picture of the two with the camera she kept in her purse for work. Carly had told her what was going on and she just couldn't resist seeing her two boys bond. Lila was standing right behind her mother clinging to her leg.

"Mommy, can I have a yellow bike?" Jake asked his mother.

"I think that you're a little too small right now, but we'll talk about it when you get older." Sam replied with a soft smile.

"You ok?" Jason asked the mother of his children.

"I'm fine Jase, I just don't want to lose this." Sam replied. She wouldn't tear up again; she did not want her kids to see her that way.

"We're not going to. We are going to figure something out we always do." Jason promised her and that was another promise he was going to keep damn the cost.

"Grandfather, I wish you would give me a little bit of breathing room, I'm not going anywhere." Emily sighed. She loved that her grandfather was happy to see her but he had been hovering over her since she had been back home.

"Forgive me my dear, I just thought that we had lost you and I'm a little reluctant to let you out of my sight right now." Edward Quartermaine replied honestly.

"We'll I promise you that I am not going anywhere again anytime soon." Emily swore to him. She loved that old man, not a lot of people knew but he was a really big softy deep down underneath it all.

"Can I take that to mean that you're over your infatuation with that retched Cassadine?" Edward asked her hopefully. The way he saw it Nikolas was not good enough for her. He didn't share the same reservations when it came to Jason and Sam though. Sam at least acted human and not like she was better than everyone else.

"Grandfather, please, I love Nikolas and you're going to have to accept that. You might not see it, but he is a good man." Emily replied rolling her eyes. Edward was so damn protective of her that it wasn't funny.

"Master Edward, I hate to interrupt but there is someone here to see Ms. Emily." Alice the maid reported as she walked into the room with Spencer on her heels.

"Hi, mom." Spencer said waving shyly at Emily. Instead of going back to the lake house he had convinced Milo to let him go see his mom.

Emily stood up and pulled her son into a hug. "Hi, Spencer, it is so good to see you." she said kissing him on the cheek.

"Hello, Mr. Quartermaine." Spencer politely greeted the old man.

"Hello, Spencer, it is very nice to see you my boy. And for the last time call me grandfather." Edward replied with a hint of a smile. He did not share the same dislike for the young Cassadine that he had for his father. In Spencer he saw someone he could easily groom to take over ELQ.

"What brings you to my neck of the woods?" Emily asked the young man as she offered him a seat on the couch next to her.

"Dad said that you said it was ok if I wanted to come over here." Spencer replied. He hoped that he hadn't overstepped his boundaries.

"That is perfectly alright, you are more than welcome here anytime." Emily assured him. She had really missed the young man more than she had realized and she had knew that she missed him a lot.

"You can stay for dinner if you like, I can have the cook make anything that you want." Edward offered eagerly.

"I really shouldn't stay long, Uncle Jason will be upset that I talked Milo into bringing me here as it is. I was supposed to go to the lake house, but I couldn't stand the thought of being cooped up." Spencer replied. He referred to Jason as his uncle because he was Emily's brother and moreover Sam was just like the sister his father never had so he was sometimes in the habit of calling her aunt.

"You let me worry about your Uncle Jason, you are more than welcome to stay for dinner if that is what you want. I know that your dad won't mind because you are safe here." Emily told him.

"If it is alright with you then I would very much like to stay, mom." Spencer said smiling at her. He hadn't had the chance to spend much time with his mom since she came back and he was really looking forward to it.

A/N: Sorry for the long wait guys with the direction that the show is going in I lost my muse for a little while but it's back now. Does anyone have any guesses about who Johnny is sleeping with? I will give you a hint this story does stay pretty true to the show. Until next time please review.
