It was the night of a party at the Metro Court to celebrate the opening of the AJ Quartermaine Memorial Clinic. Sabrina still had her position as head nurse and was here to see everything run smoothly for Tracy. She had left the room and went to the roof to get some fresh air. Mingling with rich people wasn't really her forte and it didn't help that Michael was there with his new girlfriend. A girlfriend that Sabrina practically pushed towards him in that letter she wrote. She wanted him to be happy but it was a lot harder seeing as how she didn't think she would ever return to Port Charles. The universe was playing a cruel trick on her. She tried avoiding Michael at any cost, but no matter what they always seemed to run into each other, and he was always with his girlfriend. She couldn't even remember the girl's name for that matter. Sabrina was downing another glass of champagne when she heard his voice, "Are you aware of how hard it is seeing you around town?" She turned towards the door to look at him, "I'm sorry?"

"That wasn't something you're supposed to apologize for. You're freezing." Sabrina didn't even realize she had wrapped her arms around herself before Michael took off his suit jacket and placed it around her shoulders. She mumbled a quiet thank you before looking up at him, "Shouldn't you be inside talking to all your supporters?"

"Once you've talked to one, you've talked to them all. Why are you out here?," he asked.

"I just needed to get some air. It's a little hectic in there, don't you think?"

"I'm used to it. I've been to a fair share of these things. I want to get back to what I said before though. About how hard it is seeing you."

"Well you said I don't have to apologize so what's there to talk about?" She started to turn her body back around before he stopped her, "I'm still in love with you, Sabrina. That's what we need to talk about." She didn't even know her hand had reached up to slap him until his hand snapped to the side, "Michael-I didn't mean-" he held his hand up to stop her, "I deserved that one so you're forgiven. Fast reflexes." He ran his hand over the side where she slapped him, "You don't get to say things like that to me, Michael."

"I don't get to say the truth? I don't want to lie Sabrina. I'm not you." She raised her hand to slap him again but he caught her wrist.

"I saw that one coming. I apologize for the low blow," he dropped her wrist and placed her hand back down to her side, "we should get all the yelling out now before we move forward."

"Move forward with what?"

"Our relationship."

"We don't have a relationship. A working one, sure. We are not a couple. You have a girlfriend."

"She's not you," he moved in closer to touch Sabrina but she stepped back before he could."

"Don't say that. Go be happy with her, like I wanted for you."

"Your letter doesn't matter anymore. You're back."

"I told you to move on and you did. That's all I wanted for you!"

"No. You said it so you could go and run off, with Carlos of all people as a cop out because you couldn't give me a chance to think about things."

"That's not even the point. The point is that I left and you found happiness."

"How can you not see that you coming back here changed everything? The second I saw you, I told you that I wanted to be a family, and you turned me down. Why?"

"Too much happened. I hurt you and I couldn't even look at you," she could feel the tears running down her face and tried wiping them but they fell even harder. "I forgave you. I'm not angry at you. How many times do I have to tell you that?"

"Please just stop. We can't do this," she took his jacket off and handed it back to him, "I think it's time for me to go."

"We're not done here."

"I'm not doing this. Not here, not tonight. I'm sorry." He couldn't even stop her from walking away from him. He tried calling after her but that was no use. Michael took the jacket she had just slipped back to him and placed it on the chair.

"Michael?" He turned around to see Kiki standing in the doorway, "what happened?"

"You have to help me fix things. You're the only one I trust."

"With Sabrina?," he nodded, "I'm not getting between the two of you. I'm actually friends with Sabrina now and from our conversations you need to let this one go."

"Don't you think if I could, I would've done it by now? She's everywhere. How can I be happy with Madison if all I can think about is Sabrina? It's not fair to her."

"You really are miserable," she smacked him before he could stop her, "why didn't you fight harder for Sabrina?"

"Can the women in my life stop hitting me? It's complicated. Between you and Felix convincing me to move on to Sabrina coming back, things just got out of hand. She was pushing me away and I got pissed off so that's when I decided to stop fighting for her. I thought I could make her jealous but that didn't work."

"Men are so stupid. Sabrina just wants you to be happy! This isn't easy for her but she knows it's the right thing to do. You're not her number one priority anymore, Michael. My precious little niece is."

"I know she has her daughter to worry about. I get that, but do you see my side here?"

"I see both sides. What you need to ask yourself is: do you really love Sabrina? And I'm talking spending the rest of your life with her, being a father to her daughter. And maybe when you figure that out, you'll know what to do about Madison." Michael looked at Kiki and she automatically knew what his answer was, "Seriously? Why do I ever bother with my speeches anymore?"

"Say you'll help me, ex-girlfriend of mine?"

"If I wasn't actually rooting for the two of you; I would say no. But since you two are disgustingly perfect for each other, I'll help," he went to give her a hug but she stopped him, "only if you promise me you won't hurt her or Sophia. And that you'll tell Madison the actual truth. She's a nice girl and I'm sure she knows you're not all the way into it."

"I promise you that I will not hurt them. And I promise to stop leading Madison on." Kiki was satisfied with that and pulled him in for a hug.

"I guess I'll call Felix and tell him we have a reunion to plan. He'll be thrilled."

"Thank you so much, Kiki."

"If it's cause for my brother-in-law to get back together with the love of his life; I'm happy to oblige. Don't fuck it up."

"Hey, don't let my niece or nephew hear that type of language."

"Fuck off." And with that she turned around and went back inside, leaving Michael with hope that he could make Sabrina see that he wanted to be with her. But first, he had to go be truthful with another woman to make that happen.
