Chapter 1

Jason Morgan sat in the diner observing the woman he had been ordered to check out as the pretty brunette waitress came up to his table. "Can I get you some more coffee Sir?" she asked quietly.

Jason looked up into a pair of sad eyes, "That would be great, thank you" he said smiling up at her, not helping but notice the bruise the young woman tried to hide behind the layers of makeup.

"If you need anything else just give me a holler" she said as the door opened and a man walked in.

Jason watched as the young woman visibly stiffened and stepped back from him. Turning around to look at the door, he noticed the man glaring at the waitress and knew there was going to be trouble.

Jenna heard the bell above the door tinkle and turned to look, seeing her soon to be ex-husband walk through the door, making her automatically tremble. She knew that look in his eyes all too well.  He had that look three nights earlier when he stopped by the house in a drunken stupor.  The end result had been another black eye.

"Excuse me," she said giving her customer an apologetic smile.

Walking past Alex she stepped to safety behind the counter, "What do you want Alex? I have work to do."

"I want to talk," he said quietly.

"Alex, we have nothing to say to one another, especially after the other night," Jenna said, getting fed up with his harassment. Ever since she had served him with divorce papers he had started coming in to the diner or sitting outside and waiting for her to get off work.

"We are going to talk and we are going to talk now," he said taking the coffee pot out of her hand and setting it on the counter as he grabbed her arm and hauled her towards the door.

"I believe the lady said she had nothing to say to you so why don't you leave her alone," Jason said calmly staying in his seat.

"Why don't you mind your own fucking business buddy," Alex said angrily still moving towards the door.

Jason slid from his booth and grabbed Jenna's hand and pulled her behind him. She quickly went to stand behind the counter as Dirk, her boss, came out of the Kitchen to offer assistance to the man trying to help his best waitress. Three other customers had also stood up ready to back him up.

"Look this is between my wife and I, I don't want any trouble," Alex said holding up his hands to ward off the five men.

"Then leave…Jenna isn't going to be pushed around by you any more. I'm sick and tired of you abusing her. She deserves to be treated better," Dirk said standing beside his customers.

"This isn't over, Bitch," he said pointing at her.

"Oh it's over alright, if you go near her, I'm going to make sure this guy here gives me a call. I don't like to see women abused. You bother her again and their will be hell to pay…you don't know who you're messing with," Jason said grabbing Alex's arm twisting it behind his back and shoving him out the door. Alex lost his balance and fell on his ass and looked like he was almost afraid of the five men.

Jenna watched in amazement as Alex got up and jumped into his truck and drove off. She could see Dirk and the customer talking but couldn't make out what they were saying.

"Thank you for stepping in to help Jenna out in there. That guy is a real piece of work. My wife and I finally have been able to talk her into leaving him, but with everything he's been putting her through since she did, she's real jumpy about men."

"Not a problem, I have some business to discuss with her and I was wondering if I could have a few minutes of her time."

"Sure she's do for a break and could probably use one after all that commotion." Dirk said smiling.  "By the way what's your name?"

"Jason…Jason Morgan"

"Well come on in Mr. Morgan…you have a free meal coming to you," Dirk said slapping him on the back.

Jenna tried to make her self look busy when Dirk came walking back in with the handsome man that had stepped in and saved her from Alex.

"Jenna take a break and come over here," Dirk called over to her.

"Della, can you take care of my customer's for me?" Jenna asked smiling at the older woman.

"Sure thing sugar."

"Dirk I'm so sorry about that," Jenna said walking up to Dirk.

"Jen it's alright, there is nothing to apologize for, and this is Jason Morgan. He would like to speak to you about something," Dirk said introducing them then walking back to the kitchen.

Jenna smiled hesitantly at the man she assumed to be her age standing in front of her. "Thank you for helping me Mr. Morgan"

"No thanks needed…why don't we have a seat." Jason said motioning for her to sit as Della came up with two fresh cups of coffee.

"Thank you Della."

"You take as long as you need, we aren't that busy that I can't handle this bunch."

"You wanted to speak to me about something?" Jen said quietly.

"It's personal, if you prefer we could do this someplace more private."

"There isn't anything about me these people don't know as you can see by the events just happened."

"Alright…I am here because my boss believes he may be your brother."

"He's wrong then Mr. Morgan because I don't have a brother…I don't have any family. I was adopted and my adoptive parents never had any other children."

" Sonny is well aware of your history. Your mother died when you were very young, and despite the states promise to keep you together they split you up. He wants to be reunited with you and I'm here to see that happen. Your father is back in Sonny's life and wants to meet you too," Jason said.

"Why is your boss so sure I'm his sister?" Jenna asked nervously refusing to believe this. Yes, she had a brother but had given up all hopes of ever finding him after years of searching.

"He spotted you one day when he was on a business trip and had come in here for lunch. He did a background check and is convinced you are his sister."

"Mr. Morgan…yes, I have a brother but his name is not Sonny"

"Sonny's real name is Michael Corbin," Jason replied quietly.

Jenna's hand flew to her mouth as memories came flooding back.

*Flashback*

Five-year-old Jenna Marie Corbin lay in her bed as she heard the yelling start, 'Mommy and Daddy are always fighting' she thought as she pulled the covers over her head. Hearing her door creak open she peaked out from under to see her big brother Mikey come in.

"Shh…Jenna it's all right," Mikey said getting onto the bed with her and holding her close as she trembled. They heard something break in their parent's bedroom and then the front door slam and their mother crying.

"Don't worry Jenna I'll always be with you, I'll take care of you and Momma," he said bravely.

Michael never got the chance…three weeks later their mother was dead and they were in a foster home. The day the caseworker had come to take Jenna to her new home she had clung to Mikey begging him to come with her. The caseworker had to pry her loose and drag her kicking and screaming out the door. She had never seen Mikey again.

Tears coursed down Janna's face as she thought about the possibility of seeing her beloved brother again. So many times over the years she had needed him. Need his strength and courage. The last memory she had of Michael was the sadness in his eyes as they dragged her away from. If Mikey's life had been anything like hers it couldn't have been a happy one. Michael could never know everything that had happened in her new home…never.

"Mr. Morgan, I want to go home. I want to see my brother," she whispered her eyes filled with tears.

"Please call me Jason, I have a feeling we are going to get to know each other pretty well." Jason said covering her hand with one of his and handing her a napkin with the other.

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to it," she sniffed

"Why don't you go make arrangements with your boss and I'll make arrangements with Sonny. We can meet back here around 8:00," Jason said smiling at her.

"Alright, Jason thank you for everything you've done today…I never thought I would see Mikey again." Jenna said standing up and walking around the table to stand in front of him.

Jason grinned, as he couldn't see his mobster boss being called "Mikey." it almost made Sonny sound like a big teddy bear. "Here, this is my cell phone number if anything happens or changes between now and 8:00 give me a call." Jason said standing up. "Everything is going to be alright," he added gently. He liked Jenna…she seemed fragile, like a bird with a broken wing. For some reason he felt the need to protect her.

"I'll see you tonight," Jenna said smiling for the first time since her ex-husband had walked through the door.

Jenna watched Jason Morgan walk out of the diner and waited till he pulled out then headed back to the kitchen to talk to Dirk. Dirk and Samantha had been so great to her. They had given her the courage to leave Alex, been there when she needed to talk and cleaned her up after Alex had beaten her. She hated to leave them but knew it was time to move on. She needed her brother; she wasn't sure about seeing her father again. He had walked out on them when they needed him the most. She would just have to deal with it when the time came.
