5 hours later

"It's so cold here, even in the summer." Michaela said as they walked off the jet, and she pulled her pink Aeropostale hoodie over her head.

"Just wait until winter gets here." Jax replied as he pulled his daughter closer to him.

"Does that mean we can use our Uggs for more than just fashion?" Jasmine asked

"Yes it does, I knew I bought those for a reason." Courtney replied, "There is so much snow here during the winter."

"Cool, something we never saw in Pasadena." Michaela said

"Well, let's go get settled in at our new penthouse, then we'll go grab something to eat." Jax said as they got into their limo

Later that night

"I want to stop by and surprise Carly with our homecoming." Courtney said as they got in the limo.

"I thought it was proper to always call first." Jax replied

"Who cares, we'll just stop by, she'll be happy to see us." Courtney said

"Well, I don't want to have to see Sonny, and I know he doesn't want to see me, so I'll just have the limo driver take me back to the penthouse, then I'll send it back to pick up you and the girls."

"Come on Jax."

"No, I will not do it."

"Well if Dad's not going I don't want to go either." Michaela said

"No, you're both going because that's probably one thing that your mother and I can agree on right now. Sonny and Carly haven't seen either of you since you were babies, they'll want to see you now." Jax replied

"But I thought that Uncle Sonny disowned you." Jasmine said

"Yeah, but I'm going to see Carly, not Sonny."

The driver took them to the Harborview Towers, where Sonny and Carly still lived.

"Please come with us Jax." Courtney pleaded as she and the girls got out of the limo.

"No, even though it would be fun to dangle our happy family in Sonny's face, I will not do it." Jax replied

"Okay fine."

The three of them got on the elevator and went upstairs.

"Can I just sit out in the hall?" Jasmine asked

"No, you can't, you're coming in." Courtney replied

Courtney found out from Emily, who she had secretly kept in touch with over the year, that Sam and Jason were still living together, but never had any kids. They still lived across the hall from Sonny and Carly, but neither of the girls knew that.

Courtney knocked on the door, just a few seconds later Jasmine said, "Okay they're not here." As she and Michaela began to walk off.

"Nope, you're waiting, I know they're here." Courtney said as she grabbed the girls' arms.

"Courtney!" Carly said as she opened the door.

"Hey." Courtney replied as she pulled her sister-in-law into a hug.

"I can't believe you're here." She said, "Did you and Jax split?" hoping the answer would be yes, as she let them in, "Come have a seat."

"No, we didn't he is at home."

"And where's home exactly?"

"3rd and Elm Street." Courtney replied

"Here? Oh, you're living here?" Carly asked

"Yeah, we just came back today." Courtney replied

"That's great news." Carly said

"Look at you two, I can't believe it's you."

"Yeah, this is Michaela and Jasmine, which you already knew, Micah, Jazzy, this is Carly." Courtney said, "Where's Sonny?"

"He's out of the country on business." Carly replied

"And the boys?"

"Michael unfortunately got sucked into the business, and is with him. Morgan is about to start his freshman year in college. He's going to become a doctor and work at GH." Carly explained

"That's good."

"If only Michael would have been that smart." Carly said

"But Michael is smart, he has a good head on his shoulders." Courtney replied

"Do you guys want anything to drink, or eat?" Carly asked

"No I'm fine. Girls?" Courtney said

"No that's okay." Jasmine and Michaela replied in unison.

Carly was looking at Jasmine, "Carly, I know what you're thinking and you can say it, they know about Sam and Jason being their parents."

"Yeah, she looks just like her Mom." Carly said

"Yeah, I'm the oddball, everyone always thinks I'm Michaela's friend." Jasmine replied

"You're lucky that Sam let Jax and Courtney adopt you, you're better off without her." Carly said

Trying to change the subject Courtney asked, "So when's Sonny and Michael suppose to be back?"

"Tonight or tomorrow sometime." Carly replied, then they heard the door opened, "Or right now. Hey you two."

"Hey Mom." Michael said, he turned towards Courtney, "Aunt Courtney!"

"Hey you, come here you've grown up on me." Courtney replied as she hugged her nephew, then looked at her brother, "Hi Sonny."

"Courtney."

"Sonny, please don't pretend as if you still don't love her, because I saw how you acted when she left town, she's your sister, and you love eachother." Carly pleaded

"I know. I am happy to see you Courtney, and your daughters." Sonny said as he hugged his sister, "How long are you here for?"

"Indefinitely, Jax, the girls, and I moved back."

"That's-that's great Courtney."

"Girls, this is your uncle and cousin, Sonny and Michael Corinthos." Courtney said, "And you already know, but these are my daughters Micah and Jazzy Jacks."

"You two have grown up."

"Mom, why does Marco have to follow me and my friends everywhere we go? It's embarrassing." A girl said as she came in.

"Because that's what he's paid to do." Carly replied, "Now, Sadie, I want you to meet your Aunt Courtney, and cousins Michaela and Jasmine. This is my daughter, Mercedes Adela Corinthos, or Sadie."

"Nice to meet you Sadie." Courtney said

"Yeah, you too." Sadie replied

"Carly how come you didn't tell me you had a daughter?" Courtney asked

"I thought I'd surprise you." Carly replied

"She's lying she resents me." Sadie added

"I do not." Carly replied

"How old are you Sadie?" Courtney asked

"16."

"Micah and Jazzy are 17." Courtney replied

"You going to PCH?" Sadie asked

"Yeah, I guess so." Jazzy replied

"Will you be a junior?" Micah asked

"No, a senior, I got to skip 6th grade." Sadie replied

"That's cool."

"No not really, I don't like being the youngest kid in my class." Sadie replied

"Yeah, that would be the downside." Micah said

"Hey, you guys want to go do something?" Sadie asked, then leaned closer to whisper, "I know where a killer party is tonight."

"I don't know if we can." Jazzy replied

"Mom, can we go somewhere with Sadie tonight?" Micah asked her mother.

"Sure, if you want." Courtney replied hesitantly.

"I need to go home and change, I'm not wearing this dress that Dad made me wear." Jazzy said

"Me too."

"No problem, you look about the same size as me, you can borrow some of my clothes." Sadie replied

A little while later the three walked down the stairs all dressed up to go out. Sadie being the skimpiest, wearing a short black and gray striped skirt, and a pink tube top.

"Uh-uh, no way, you're not wearing that out tonight young lady." Carly said, "Go change clothes."

"Oh come on Mom, you can't tell me that you never wore clothes like these when you were my age, just tonight." Sadie pleaded

"Well, okay, I want you in by 2 o'clock Mercedes." Carly replied

"Okay."

"Isn't that a little late for a 16-year-old to be out?" Courtney asked

"Well, for her that's fairly early, because if I give her a later curfew, she'll be in, otherwise she won't be home until 5 or 6 in the morning, then she'll sleep all day. Besides, it's summer." Carly replied

"Well, girls, I guess that's your curfew too." Courtney added

"Thanks Mom, you're the best." Jazzy said hugging her mom.

"We'll see you three later." Carly said, "Be careful, and Sadie, please don't drive crazy."

"I won't Mom chill." Sadie replied before they walked out the door.

Okay, another chapter completed. I know some of you have commented about getting into a story and then the author basically dropping off the face of the earth. It's summer and I'm 16, I'm going to be leaving for a 6-week junior college, but I'll be home almost every weekend, and I'll try to update then. So just hang in there with me, please. I'll try to get at least 2 more chapters up before Monday when I leave. Unfortunately, I cannot bring my computer to the dorm with me, but I will try to write it in a notebook, and then type it up when I get home. Anyway, thanks for the reviews.
