Author's note: this takes place after Carly's accident (about a year later), so a few things are going to be different.

Outside Port Charles

There it was, he thought, home. Port Charles was the most unusual, if that was the right word, place that Jason ever had the pleasure of living in. On some level he had missed it; more like he'd missed Sonny and Carly and everyone else he loved. Jason replaces the helmet on his head again and started the bike and rode into Port Charles, to give everyone the shock of their lives.

He reached the docks of Port Charles and inhaled the air, it was exactly the same as he had left it about a year a go. In some ways he was happy to be home, but he was sad knowing what he had to leave behind. But that was irrelevant now, it was too late to fix the damage done then. Anyway, Jason began to remember why he had returned home to Port Charles; he needed to see Sonny.

The Penthouse

Sonny was on the phone talking with Benny, while Carly was upstairs with Michael and their new little one, Michelle Adella Corinthos. They had had the baby about a year after Carly's accident. Sonny and Alexis had a talk and decided that they could only be friends because Sonny still loved Carly. Within a few months Sonny and Carly were married and Michelle was on the way.

"Well, Benny, where is he?" Sonny demanded. "Jason would never just leave St. Theresa and not tell me. Now find him and don't call me until you know where he is!"

He slammed the phone unto the receiver. He hadn't noticed Carly on the stairs holding his beautiful daughter. Michelle had his dark hair and dimples, and Carly's eyes and mouth. He had never felt the way about anyone as he did about his children, Michael and Michelle were his world and he wouldn't have it any other way.

"Is something wrong?" Carly asked

"No," Sonny replied reaching for his daughter. "Hey little girl, why aren't you down for a nap, huh?"

Carly watched Sonny with Michelle and it made her smile, she never seen him act that way with anyone other than Michael. She was so happy that she finally had her family back.

"You know Michelle, never can fall asleep at the same time as her big brother." Carly smoothing the back of her daughter's hair. She caught Sonny's eyes and smiled at him and he gave her a quick kiss, which was interrupted by a knock on the door. Sonny let out a low frustrated growl and handed Michelle back to Carly.

"Jason!" he said in disbelief. Jason Morgan, Sonny's right hand man stood outside his door. "Where were you, man? I couldn't get in touch with you."

"I've been around."

"Jason," Carly walked over and hugged him. " It's so good that your back." She smiled wider than before.

"And who's is this?" Jason asked, knowing that it had to be Sonny and Carly's because of her features.

"She's ours." Carly walked over next to Sonny. "Jason Morgan meet Michelle Adella Corinthos, our daughter."

"Well, she's beautiful." Jason replied. Not knowing what else to say no one said much of anything, until Jason broke the silence. "Sonny, can I talk to you for a minute."

Carly knew that was her cue to leave, she had gotten a little bit better at trying not to meddle in Sonny's business. But still she had to use amazing self-control not to get involved in this conversation. Slowly she walked upstairs to give Sonny and Jason some privacy.

"How did you get Carly to do that?" Jason asked Sonny.

"I don't know, but I think we should just take the miracle as it comes." Sonny joked. It felt good to him to be able to laugh with his best friend.

"So, what brings you home, Jase?"

"Trouble." was all he said. Sonny knew that if Jason had to come back to Port Charles because of some trouble than it was serious.

"What happened?"

" You've a got serious problem, Sonny. It's Rivera."

"Jason, Rivera is dead." Sonny replied.

"Yeah Lily's father is dead, but not his son. Alonzo Rivera." Jason answered surprising Sonny.

"No that's impossible Hernando didn't have any other children."

"Not with Lily's mother. Alonzo is illegitimate, but he's gained enough power and now he wants your head for killing his father."

The Bus Station

It seemed like Port Charles was going to be bigger than a small upstate New York town, according to what Jason had told her. Not that it mattered, the smaller the town the easy it would be for her to find him. She had some things that she had to say to him in person, and there was no way that she was leaving this town until she told him.

The Penthouse

"So he blames me because his father killed himself." Sonny shook his head in disbelief, after all these years now this guy, calling himself Rivera's son, wants him dead. This had to be some stupid dream, Sonny thought knowing that it wasn't but wishing it was.

"You did give Rivera the gun, Sonny," Jason said, "Besides, anyone who still wants to avenge Rivera probably got Alonzo to take up this vendetta."

Jake's

The young woman, who was about 19 or 20 years old, walked inside Jake's and most of the people inside looked up at her. She figured it was probably because they hadn't seen her before, and it such a small town everyone knows everyone. She kept her face straight ahead and took a seat at the bar.

"What can I get you?" asked the bartender.

"I'll have a coke." she said.

She paid for her drink and gulped it down, before walking over to one of the pool tables and picking up a pool stick.

"You play?" a male voice came from behind her. He was sort of tall with dark hair, probably black, and a strong square jaw.

"Yeah, why you want go a game?" she asked him.

"Why not? Say 20 bucks?"

"You're on." she smiled, "By the way I'm Eva."

" Zander," he shook her hand.

They played pool for a few hours, which meant that the 20 dollar bill exchanged hands at least 12 times. Knowing that Port Charles was such a small town Eva thought it would be best if she slowly worked Jason Morgan's name into her conversation with Zander.

"So, Zander, working in the coffee business, that must be quite a job." Eva said after she got Zander told her where he worked . When he had first said that he worked in the coffee warehouse for S and J {a/n: I don't remember the name of the coffee business, so I made one up}, Eva couldn't believe her luck.

"It's great." Zander causally replied.

"Well, then you must know Jason Morgan, right? I hear he 's been working in the coffee business around here for quite some time."

"Yeah, I met Jason, he seemed nice. But he hasn't been to Port Charles in months." Zander replied getting a little suspicious at why Eva was asking all those questions.

"Well, are you sure? From some rumors I heard Jason Morgan was on his way back."

Zander swiftly grabbed her arm and dragged her outside of Jake's, he seemed to have caught on to her game and was furious.

"Why do you want to know so much about Jason! Who are you?"

"I'm a friend of Jason's," Eva said honestly. " I came here to find him."

"Come on we are going to see Sonny, maybe he'll believe your story."

The Penthouse

Sonny and Jason were sitting on the couch still discussing Alonzo Rivera when Johnny entered. "Mr. Corinthos, Zander's here to see you. He says it's important."

"Let him in."

Zander came into the penthouse pulling a young woman behind him. Sonny didn't recognize her but Jason did. Eva walked straight up to Jason and everyone remained silent wondering what she was going to do. She grabbed the back of his head and thrust him into a passionate all consuming kiss, that Jason returned. Jason finally broke the kiss to catch his breathe, but before he could fully do so Eva sent her open palm flying slapping Jason square across the face.

"You bastard!" she screamed at him.
