Chapter 3:
Jason rode in his car heading to Sonny's and Brenda's house. He still can't believe those two are back together. After Sam's death, Brenda came back to town and she fell back in love with Sonny, and of course they played their little cat and mouse game like they usually played, but Sonny finally caught Brenda and married her two years ago. They had a little girl together named Julia (after Brenda's sister) who was a little over one year old. That makes three kids for Sonny: Kristina, Morgan, and Julia. Michael is now a full blown Quartermaine, and doesn't give a damn about Sonny now that AJ is in his life. It also didn't help when Carly remarried AJ and pumped even more bad thoughts into Michael's head.
Carly and AJ, ELQ's proud super couple, see after Michael was returned Sonny, Carly, and AJ were in a year long custody battle. Michael didn't want to live with Sonny or Carly, only AJ, and after battling out for a year, Carly gave up and reunited with AJ turning her back on Sonny. "Not a big surprise" Jason thought since he knew Carly is a professional back stabber from his own experience, but they still remained friends. They don't talk much though because Carly is too busy running ELQ with AJ, after Edwards's death he left the company to Michael with Carly and AJ as guardians of his estate. Lets just say Tracy wasn't happy with this, and Carly and her are bitter enemies. The police are called over the Q mansion at least once a month to break up numerous food fights between the family.
The only one he can tolerate is Emily. She is still married to Nicolas and they have a three year old son together named Stefan. Nicolas was released from jail four years ago after Helena was caught, and he helped heal Emily through her rape aftermath. This was a big weight lifted off Elizabeth and Lucky whom was married a year after. They now actually live across the hall from him raising Cameron together. That little boy looks so much like his father Zander that it is scary. "I wonder if Sam and I would have had kids by now?" Jason thought to himself again, but quickly shakes his head and continues his drive to Sonny's. Sonny wants him to help persuade Alexis to let him take Kristina to the Nurses ball, "I don't know why he thinks I can persuade Alexis?", but deep down he does know. After Sam's death Alexis and him bonded somewhat, it was weird, but she helped him heal some scars, but not all of them.
Alexis is now married to Ned. Alexis and Ric shortly divorced after their son Trevor was born when Alexis caught Ric in bed with Reese. Their divorce wasn't pretty, but they did come to an agreement of shared custody, and tried to rebuild their friendship over the years. Ric and Reese are now married, and Reese is pregnant with their first child. Reese and Jason still don't get along, but they have become to tolerate each other. "At least she is no longer going after Sonny and me, and decided to become a full time lawyer".
Jason pulls into Sonny's driveway, and quickly exit's the car. He greets Max who is eating his turkey sandwich as usual. He walks into the house, and he hears the war going on in the living room. "Sonny/Alexis War Take One Million" he said to himself before opening the door. "I want Kristina at the Nurses Ball sitting with me!" Sonny said while drinking his brandy, "No! She will sit with Ned, Trevor, and I! There is no way in hell I will let her sit with you. You never know who may pull a gun on you at your table!" Alexis spitted out, "Great at least they decided Kristina is going, but now they are fighting over where she is sitting." Jason thought to himself when Sonny notices he arrived. "Jason tell this woman that my daughter is sitting at my table" "No. Jason tell this prick here that my daughter is sitting at my table", "Prick? Well you bi…", "Sonny!" Brenda yelled from the stairs before Sonny can finish. "Watch your mouth, we have kids in this house. Now Jason can you please help clear this up before Sonny starts throwing the barware" Brenda said, "Ok...have you guys even asked Kristina where she will want to sit?" Jason asked, "No" Alexis and Sonny said, "Well maybe you should." "Ok...Kristina! Can you please come downstairs please!" Brenda yelled from the stairs, Kristina comes speeding down the stairs "You called." she said with a smile on her face. "Kristina we were wondering, who do you want to sit with at the Nurses Ball? Mommy or Daddy?" Jason asked, "Well I will like to sit with Mommy…" Alexis shoots a grin at Sonny "…for the first half of the night, but I will like to sit with Daddy for the second half" Kristina says, and a huge smile comes across Sonny's face. "Well this is now handled. Kristina will sit with you Alexis for the first half and you Sonny for the second half. Now I am going to the warehouse to get some work down. I will talk to you later Sonny" Jason said walking to towards the door.
"Jason, Jason wait!" Brenda yelled before Jason reached the door. "What? Brenda" Jason said a little annoyed, "Well I was wondering if you found a date for the Nurses ball tonight?", "I am not going Brenda, and you know I hate parties.", "You should really come. You always went in the past, and it will be a way to honor Robin". "Robin" Jason thought, my first love. "We are all still mourning her death Jason, and I think she would have loved for you to be there." Brenda said, "Ok…I will go for Robin, but I won't stay long." Jason said, "Fine, just as long as you come. And what about a date?", "No date", "Ok…I get the hint, but Jason, Sam would have wanted for you to finally move on.", "You don't know crap what Sam would have wanted! You never met her, so don't speak like you would have known what she wanted! I have to go, see you tomorrow night Brenda." Jason said and quickly went out the door, and slammed it behind him. "He is still hurting Brenda" Sonny said coming behind Brenda, "I know, but he needs to move on. I hate seeing him like this. All he does is work, cleaning up your messes, and just having the occasional one night stand with a hooker. This isn't the Jason I used to know" Brenda said in disappointed voice while looking at Sonny. "You know they say when your great love dies a part of your soul dies with them. And Brenda when I thought you died all those years ago I thought a part of my soul died with you". Brenda looks at Sonny with tears in her eyes, and kisses him passionately, "Get a room!" Alexis said walking past them before exiting the house causing Brenda and Sonny to break their kiss.
