In the Best Interests of the Child
Chapter 1: Voices
She was dressed in her best suit. The one that told judges she was right and the opposition was wrong. She straightened her spine and stepped to her apartment door. "We can do this Little Blue."
She heard the faint chime of the elevator in the hall, took a deep breath, and put her hand on the doorknob.
He was talking to someone as he got off the elevator. "Probably Johnny" she thought. Then a voice answered back.
Carly.
"Not ideal, but I won't have to wonder how long until she knows." she turned the knob.
Then a third voice joined the conversation.
Michael.
Even through the door he sounded happy. How many times had she really heard him happy? The times she was with Jason on his court approved visits. The day Sonny stopped sign a new contract on his way to the park with Michael and Carly. That day just a few weeks ago when she told him his Mommy was safe with Uncle Sonny and would be home soon.
How many times had she seen him being only partially happy? The times where he screamed for Jason or Sonny, usually from AJ's lap. The times when he tried to look brave as he left with Letica. How had he looked during the last few weeks when his mother had been dead? At first she had been too busy keep track of Taggert to go check, then too ashamed. For a while, she had killed the Michael's family and once again had opened the door for a monster to walk into his life.
She had already done that to him once before. Tony Jones walked the street because she had put herself above Michael, then Carly nearly died for the same reason. She turned the knob back. Despite her plans and rehearsed speeches, she knew what Sonny would do when he found out. Like she told Carly, she could give Sonny something Carly couldn't.
Her mother had given Mikos Cassidine something Helena couldn't, then her daughters had paid the price. Alexis wouldn't repeat her mother's mistakes.
Dear Kristina and Nikolas,
I am going to visit Stephan for a while. Don't worry Kristina, I just decided you were right I did need a vacation. I will call you soon.
