Chapter 4
Los Angeles, California Airport
Emma stood like a kid looking in a candy store. She couldn't wait to see her Aunt. To hear of the silly things her cousins did. Of course Michael was the only other person in Port Charles that knew she existed. Emma never even met her Grandfather Mike. He had apparently died in his sleep when Emma was 4. That's what prompted her trip with her mom to Port Charles.
As Carly walked into the airport she barley had enough time to set her bags down before here excited niece barreled into her arms. Every since Emma could walk she would greet her Aunt that way, barreling into her arms full force giving her a gigantic bear hug, and Carly would return it.
As Carly pulled back, she examined her niece; Emma looked so much like her parents. She also acted just like them. She was a levelheaded girl, she was kind to all, tried to see the best in them, like her mother. However you could never fool her, and her eyes didn't help any. They were completely her fathers. They could bore into your soul revealing everything about who you were to the young woman. She never really told anyone what she felt; she kept her feeling to herself. She also had a temper like no other. When she got pissed people who knew her would run in the opposite direction, because she would make you pay.
As Carly continued to examine Emma, her tummy grumbled.
"Hungry Aunt Carly?" Emma questioned.
"Yes, Hey Court. Lets go get some food. What do ya say Cassie. Food then shopping."
"Hell yeah. Can't wait. Emma needs a new wardrobe. I'm not sure her pants would fall down still if you yanked on them." Cassie replied with a laugh
"Ha, ha, Cassie," Emma replied lifting her shirt just enough so you could see her waist, "I'm wearing a belt." She stuck her tongue out at her best friend.
Cassie was a sweet girl. She was nowhere near as temperamental as Emma, but she had her moments. Her brunette hair hung just below her shoulders, and her hazelnut eyes could light up a room. Like Emma she almost always had a bathing suit on. Cassie, however, rarely wore baggy clothing she preferred the tight hip huggers, mini skirts, and form fitting shirts, not to say that Emma never wore them, but they weren't really her style.
As they four of them walked to the car they started talking about everything that was going on, boys, fashion, movies, and more boys.
They pulled into the diner and ordered, four cheeseburgers with everything on then, fries, and milkshakes, Emma's favorite. They ate in piece talking about school, work, and Emma's cousins every once and a while. No one ever mentioned Jason or Sonny around her much. She just got quiet when they talked about them. Only Cassie knew why and she wouldn't tell. All anyone else knew was that it had something to do with the only trip Emma had ever made to Port Charles, and she never even met anyone, or so they all thought.
Once they were done eating, they left the diner and went shopping. They finished shopping around 5 p.m. As the walked into Courtney's home they could smell the pasta cooking. Emma and Cassie ran to their homes to put their purchases away, as Courtney got Carly settled in.
As they all returned to the patio, they found Max cooking the chicken breasts on the grill, and Patty in doors watching the Alfredo sauce and noodles. Emma, and Cassie began cutting the fresh fruit for a salad, and Courtney, and Carly did the same to the veggies. Patty was also working on the dessert, a triple layer chocolate cake.
Fifteen minutes later they all sat down to enjoy their dinner. As they finished up the two teenagers stood to clear the table and get dessert. As they ate dessert Carly started up a conversation that would change everything.

Port Charles, NY
Riley and Morgan had spent all afternoon looking for an apartment. After hours of looking they had found they perfect one. It was a decent sized two bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, with a gorgeous kitchen, and huge sitting room. They had both decided they wanted to get out from under the watchful eyes of their family, more so away from Lila, and Sam.
Riley didn't really have a problem with Sam; it was just that Lila was just too clingy. Riley had a build like a young Jason, he had a well-defined jaw bone, and smile that would make any woman fall to their knees. He had light brown hair, and emerald green eyes. He was quite the ladies man, but never really dated much; no one really caught his eye. He was a nice guy, but could hide his feelings well.
Morgan on the other hand wore his feelings on his shoulders. The boy of 19 was a younger version of his father in appearance, but had his mother's personality 100 percent. Which was probably why he was so good at sneaking up on people, and finding things that were never meant to be found. He spent too much of his time as a child eavesdropping with his mother.
Morgan and Riley had just walked into sonny's and were waiting for Sonny to finish cooking. Sam had insisted on a family dinner. She said it was because she missed them, but they knew it was because Carly was off visiting Courtney.
Ever since Sonny and Carly had ended it and Sam moved in with Sonny again she had always been afraid. She knew Sonny never stopped loving his ex-wife, so when the two finally tied the knot Sam had insisted they stay away from Carly. Sonny was fine with that, but the boys always wanted her their when Sam wanted a family dinner so she was. So this was a treat for Sam.
There was a knock at the door, and then it opened to reveal Michael and Kristina. It was found out that Kristina was really Sonny's and when she was 8 had decided to get to know him. They never got too close, but she was used to calling him dad. When Kristina was 16 her and Michael started dating, they never told anyone, so when they announced their engagement everyone was shocked.
Kristina had grown into a beautiful woman of 24, and Michael was 27. They had been married a year ago, and happy as ever. Michael still had the same shocking red hair he was born with and that adorable grin. He had taken over ELQ a few years back when none of the Q's seemed to be able to handle running the company. Kristina, or Kris as everyone called her, had become an interior designer and was currently helping Carly open another club. She had beautifully curly hair that fell just bellow her shoulder blades; she had a beautiful figure, but was about 6 inches shorter than Michael. They were a picture perfect couple.
Lila walked down the stairs just as her father walked out of the kitchen. He looked at his youngest daughter and frowned. She wasn't really dressed for a family dinner. She had an extremely short mini skirt on the barley covered her rear, and a halter top on that hardly held her boobs, and showed her mid-drift, it was more like a bikini top. She had her frizzy curly brown hair up in pigtails. They really didn't work for her; they just made her look younger. She had her father's eyes, and her mother's attitude.
Speaking Sonny stated, "Lila can you go change,"
Looking at him questioningly Lila asked, "Why? I'm sure Riley doesn't mind."
That comment made Morgan gag, Michael, and Kris to stifle their giggles, and Riley to spray the liquid he had in his mouth everywhere.
"Just go change princess," Sam stated. Not really seeing a problem with her daughter's outfit.
"Fine," Lila stated, as she stomped upstairs to change
When she returned she had a longer skirt, and a baby T on. She took her seat at the table as everyone else was already seated. While she was up stairs Jason had arrived. They sat eating their dinner never realizing that their world was about to change.
