"Kristina, get down here! It's time for you to go," Sonny yelled from downstairs.
Kristina stalked down angrily, and said, "Daddy, you know how much I hate this."
"Yes, but you have to go anyway. You know I wouldn't send you to see Alexis unless I thought it would be good for you, honey. You've got a hard road ahead of you, and I'm just trying to make it a little bit easier."
She shook her head. "Whatever. But like I told you, have your car back at that prison in thirty minutes," she demanded, annoyed.
"Yes, Princess. Now go. I'll see you in a little while. I love you. And sweetheart, please listen to what Alexis has to say."
"Okay," Kristina replied, rolling her eyes as she walked out the door. She waited for it to shut before whispering, "Morgan, you can come out now."
Morgan stepped out of the shadows and said, "Kris, I don't know if this is right. Dad wanted you to go by yourself."
"I don't care. I need you there. I'm really scared of seeing her," she told him.
"All right, I'll go, but if we get in trouble you're taking all the blame."
She rolled her eyes again. "Don't I always? Come on."
She grabbed her brother's hand and dragged him out of the hallway.
It was visiting hour at Pentonville and Kristina was right on time. She hated it.
She walked proudly, trying to make everyone know that of all places on earth, this was where she least wanted to be.
The prison was expecting her, for a guard showed Kristina and Morgan to a private visiting room. Kristina knew it was Sonny's doing.
The guard opened the door and Alexis rushed to embrace Kristina, who promptly turned away. "Please do not touch me. You might try to kill me again."
"Kristina, darling, I wasn't trying to kill you. You weren't supposed to be in the car. I was trying to Carly," Alexis told her.
"That's no better. You thought I would love you more if you killed Carly? You accomplished exactly the opposite. You're nothing to me and I think of Carly as my mother," Kristina said, staring her down. "It didn't have to be like this. Everyone was happy before you did this. But do you know what? I think I'm better off. I wouldn't want a crazy bitch for a mother."
Alexis looked down, upset and said, "Carly's not the person you think she is. She's manipulative–"
"It doesn't matter what Carly is or isn't. I'm here because my father seems to think you can help me. So you better say what you need because you have about twenty-five minutes left," Kristina interrupted.
Alexis began talking, saying how hard it would be for Kristina to keep her baby's paternity a secret, and what a struggle it would be if the father found out.
"Especially if the father is a jerk like Sonny. You'll never hear the end of it. And your child could be exposed to someone like Carly," Alexis went on.
"Um, excuse me," spoke up Morgan, who hadn't said a word the entire time. "I think you are pretty lucky that my sister is even here. Please stop insulting our parents every chance you get. It's not winning you any points."
Kristina smiled at Morgan, and then announced that she was leaving. Alexis pleaded with her not to go, that it wasn't time, but Kristina's mind was made up and there was no changing it.
She walked out, feeling angrier than when she came in, and as she did, a dark haired, thin man ran into her.
"Excuse me. Im sorry," Kristina said.
The man was about to apologize when he realized who she was. He could barely believe his eyes. And her knew the younger boy with her must be the younger Corinthos.
"Kristina?" he questioned.
"Yes?" She had no idea who he was, and yet she couldn't get over how familiar he looked.
"I can't believe it's you Kristina. You've grown up so much. And I see you're still visiting your mother," he replied.
And then it clicked. "Uncle Ric?"
He nodded, and Kristina looked at him suspiciously. "Are you still seeing my mother?" she asked, for the only reason Sonny stopped speaking to his brother was because Ric was still on Alexis's side.
"Not usually. I stopped visiting when I realized how messed up she was. I want to know what you're doing here. I thought your dad forbade you from seeing her," Ric replied.
"Well, he did. But then I screwed up and got pregnant. I didn't want the dad to know, so a friend decided we could say the baby was his. Daddy found out and got really mad, and then said I had to go talk to Alexis. As you can tell I was completely and totally against that."
Ric laughed, and Kristina realized how much she had missed him. "Are you going to be staying in Port Charles? Daddy won't say it, but he misses you. You guys were just starting to act like brothers when he like, excommunicated you from his life."
"Yeah, I bought a house near the park for my daughter and I," Ric told her.
"You have a daughter?" Kristina asked. "How old she? What's her name? Details, details."
"Her name is Adella Elizabeth Lansing. She's six years old."
Kristina narrowed her eyes. If his daughter was six, she must have been conceived about seven years ago, when Ric was still seeing Alexis. "Is she my sister? I mean, is she Alexis's daughter?" Kristina asked.
Ric looked down and nodded his head. "We were allowed overnight visits, and well, I think you know how it goes from there. I got custody since Alexis was in jail, and it was right about then that I realized how crazy Alexis was. I didn't want my daughter subjected to her."
Kristina sat down on a nearby bench in shock. She couldn't believe she had another sister.
"Well, then I need to meet her as soon as possible. If you wait until daddy's car gets here I can have it follow you to where ever you're staying," Kristina suggested.
"I'd like that. Would you like to come too, Morgan, I think it is? I don't think Sonny has had any more children over the years, but I could be wrong," Ric replied.
Morgan laughed and agreed that he was indeed Morgan, and said that he would go if Kristina wanted him to, which of course she did.
"That's great," Ric said. "Adella will be so excited when she finds out she has a big sister, and a bunch of big cousins right here in Port Charles. She was upset yesterday because she said she had no friends here."
