Once Lexa was down Jason came downstairs and looked at the two women. Carly had a nasty look on her face and Courtney look a little hurt. Jason was sorry about that, Carly whispered to Courtney no doubt riling her up for a fight.

So you and Elizabeth made a deal cutting out Ric all together-
-Yes. She wants me as Lexa father and I said I would be-
-But you wouldn't adopt with me-
-Carly-
-I didn't say anything-
-Yes you did and you need to leave now-
-What Jason stop sending me away like that we need to deal with this-
-You mean I need to forgive the shit you pull not now I don't not with Lexa in danger. Not with my daughter you don't-
-You see your daughter don't let muffin destroy you Jason she will-
-No she won't Elizabeth got goals just like Courtney does. You need to find some now get out-

Carly was about to say something when they heard voices. Sonny got off the elevator with Alexis, Adella, Kristina and Elizabeth. Carly fumed everywoman she hated was standing there.

Isn't this cozy-
-Jason where is my baby-
-She's safe-
-Not with that bitch running around! Where Lexa! - Elizabeth snapped.
-Inside-

Elizabeth blew passed them and into the apartment. She came back with Lexa sleeping in her arms. Alexis and Adella smiled so did Sonny lifting Kristina to see the baby.

You do good work kid. - Sonny said.
-Thanks Sonny. Okay no more gawking at my kid she goes back to her room and we leave Jason and Courtney alone to talk we have business-
-Business so mummy dearest let into her little club? - Carly said to Adella.
-Carly don't I'll be by to see the boys soon-
-Why looks to me like you got your favorite-

Looking at Kristina.

Don't ever let me catch you telling my boys that bullshit-
Carly looked angrily at Adella and the rest. Elizabeth came out of the apartment and into Sonny's.
-Courtney lets talk. - Jason said. They all left leaving Carly alone in the hallway fuming. -Why Jason-
-Because she asked me to-
-That a good a reason as any the great Elizabeth asked you to-
-Don't is not like that-
-Then what is like-
-Do you know she almost lost Lexa? She was shot almost killed, I even left her for dead-
Courtney looked him.
-Elizabeth isn't about being taken care of, or having someone to love she is about her daughter and her duty. It doesn't include romance-
-You sound disappointed-
-Courtney I love you. But you made the choice to leave just like she did. I won't be toss back a forth between the two of you. And I won't feel bad about Lexa-
-I just don't understand why you can be a father to Elizabeth baby and not mine-
-You didn't want to raise a child in this world-
-So she's one up on me because she can-
-No she raising Lexa in a different world-
-She won't be living here and she won't be living in your world-
-No-
-I never thought I see the day you would lie to me-
-I'm not. - He said it in that Jason way that made you knows he was telling the truth.
Jason sat down.
-Its not my place to tell you about Elizabeth life Courtney all I can tell you is that she asked me to be Lexa father and I agreed. That's it she didn't ask nor hint toward anything else-
-You can't tell me she's not interested-
-Even if she was she doesn't have the time now with Lexa and her new job. Those are all she cares about now-
Sonny was stunted but not surprised.
-So you asked Jason to be Lexa legal father-
-Yes-
-What about Ric-
-What about him-
-I need someone reliable I love Ric but that's not him that's Jason-

Sonny noted how no nonsense she sounded like his mother and Alexis the curse of the Slayer they called it. Kristina made a noise and he looked down she'd fallen asleep. Alexis sat in the kitchen with Adella.

With you me and Liz Slayering they'll both be full time dads. - Adella said.
-That's true so what's your point-
-Let Michael take care of Kristina no nanny's just him-
-Are you crazy-
-No. He'll learn to be a good father, he'll learn how to put aside this life and put my grandbabies first-
-He already knows that-
-Alexis just let him do it. Let him see for himself he's always had someone to pick up the slack. That nanny what her name-
-Leticia-
-And Carly and Jason but never him-
-I need to think about this-
-Fine but take a page out of Liz's book she knows that Jason won't pawn her kid off on someone. Teach Michael how to do that-
-It's not my job to teach your son anything-

Adella patted his shoulder and went to set the table. The seven of them ate dinner, Elizabeth let Courtney hold Lexa. Jason kept checking on her and making sure that Courtney was okay. Elizabeth finally hit him in the back of the head and he grumbled and ate dinner. They cleared the table and Courtney sat by the fire with Lexa. Spike when out to get the lay of the land. Sonny took Kristina to Morgan's nursery. Alexis fallowed him in.

Adella gave me and idea I'm not sure I should take-
-What's that-
-You take care of Kristina while I'm doing my duties-
-Me? As in alone-
-Yes no nannies, no body watching her but you-
-How am I supposed to do that-
-Easy it called being a fulltime daddy. Jason did it you can to-
-But-
The fear on Sonny's face was enough, Alexis knew it was the right idea and Kristina was the right age terrible twos. This would teach mister blow no patients a lesson he'd never forget. -Only person you get to ask stuff is me and no one else-
-But-
-Good night Sonny-

Courtney was almost sad to see her go. Elizabeth took Lexa and went to the penthouse. Jason left them alone and offered to get Courtney home. They walked to docks in silences Courtney finally she stop Jason looked at her.

I thought that we'd love each other forever-
-I thought so to-
-Do you love her-
-I told you once I didn't think I loved her. I was wrong, I was hurt-
-I know there always going to be this connection between you and sooner or later your going to realize to love Lexa right your going to have to love each other-
-Doesn't mean we have to be together-
-No but it's a plus-

Jason sighed.

Courtney I know this Elizabeth got new things in her life and they didn't by a long shot includes me. They include the baby, they include her new job, the may include Ric. But after everything with us, I'm sure other then Lexa father they don't include me-
-What do you want to do-
-Go on with our lives-
-See what happens-
-That all we can do-
Ric held Lexa and smiled she was perfect.
-Jason-
-Her father on the record I'm sorry-
-Don't be my track record is a little messy but we'll see-
-I have to get an apartment-
-I'll see to it-
A knock.
-Hey Sam what up-
-I tired Sonny but they said something about day care-
-Yeah he taking care of Kristina while Alexis is working why what happened-
Sam saw Ric holding Lexa.
-Oh I didn't mean to interrupt I'm sorry-
-Just spill alright-
-I've been making extra money at the university teach some Marine Biology major how to reach underwater radar and scans. I found something-
-In these waters-
-Yeah that's what I said, a cave a huge one. It looks like a something living down there-
-Show me-
Elizabeth looked it over and listened as Sam explained what she saw. Sam was a little nervous about the whole thing.
-They want to dive down there and see what they've found and the Quartermains are funding it-
-Shit okay then we have to get out there first-
-They scheduling for this weekend-
-Then we have to do it sometime this week-
-What's down there Elizabeth-
-Dead bodies if we don't stop them-

Sonny got off the elevator he looked a little shell shocked all the mommies tired to help but Kristina was a handful. He could just cop out and get Leticia or another nanny but Alexis was keeping score. Elizabeth stopped and smiled.

How did it go-
-I need sneakers and well I can't ware suites anymore, least not there. She just kept going and going-
-That's why they call it the terrible twos-
-They do-
-Yes-
-Alexis knew this-
-I'm sure-
-See Mi Amour a test. Mommies working hard but I will win won I-
Kristina smiled and blinked a little tired. Sonny looked at Sam and Elizabeth.
-What happened-
-We may have found something. I need to talk to Alexis and Adella.

Sonny carried Kristina into the apartment. Adella was just getting up, she smiled at the way her son looked a little less like himself. Elizabeth came in behind him. -Look like works calling again. I'll go put Kristina down-
Sonny went up stairs and Sam relayed what she discovered. Adella was more then interested. Once Sonny was done and freshly dressed lunch was waiting for them.

So what did Sam find-
-The cave in which the bitch had been hiding for the last 31 years. It's large which mean blasting-
-Without the Q's knowing about before I came along that harbor was theirs-
-Maybe they did know-
-What do you mean momma-
-Call your brother I think I'm in need of his help-
Sonny growled.
-Michael I know what he's done. That's my fault and his actions, he trying to fix them-
-Doesn't change his hate for me-
-No but you didn't help matters as I understand it you alienated your sister to-
-What are you saying-
-Maybe it's you-
-Me? No not me momma not the unforgiving unstable bastard-
Adella smiled.
-Now you get it call him please-
-Yeah sure-

How did this happen? Sonny life had change so much in the last few months he wondered if still a boss was. He was surrounded by women, all strong and powerful and focused. Like him their minds went in one direction and didn't go any place else. Jason came in with Lexa he sat down while the women go ready to go out. -How is this going to work-

What-
-Us and them-
-Definitely changes you're prospective-
-Stay home it to dangerous. If I hear that again I going to lose my mind-
-Now I know how they felt. Elizabeth, Courtney, Carly-
-Oh god don't even mention her name-

Jason eyed Sonny, Lexa moved; Sonny saw the look on his face. The best thing Elizabeth could have ever done was give him a child. Even if it did hurt Courtney, Jason had giving up so much for the people he loved it was only fair he got was he deserved happiness. Elizabeth knew him well enough to know that marriage and family wasn't it. It was the little things, like trusting him with Lexa, like asking him to be her father inspire of everything that has happened between them.
Elizabeth knew he well enough. Alexis knew HIM well enough to know that he was losing his mind. There was no one else around to explain it all to, Sonny realized that his reconnection with Alexis was more then just for the sake of his daughter it was for him to. Because no mater what happened between it was the very connection he had lost so long ago that left him frustrated and empty. The best part was he knew Alexis was felling it to. This would only speed the process of them coming around.
Alexis felt the breeze of the night sky on her skin the four women waited and listened for any signs of the demon. Liz and Sonny left messages for Ric but he was still working on that case. She thought about the last couple of month once this was over nothing in PC would be the same for her. Least of all her non- exisistant relationship with Sonny. As much as she wanted it she didn't want to fall into that trap again. The pain she felt from his leaving was too much and she didn't think with her slayers strength she be able to survive.

Adella sat next to her all she wanted was for her family to be whole and happy. She knew she may not be staying and the pain he death cause was too much even for her to bear. Michael was so unhappy and bitter and angry, she needed to heal him and from what Jax said that was Alexis. He didn't like it but there it was, Carly was quite enough for Adella to know that was waiting until she was out of the picture. That's why she had to be sure that before she left Michael and Natasha knew that from the moment she met the girl Natasha was to be with her son.
Natasha would need a strong man and good father to deal with who she was. An intellectual partner, that could out smart her when she thought she had the upper hand. A lover who understood what it meant to come home a just be show what love was after seeing all the hate and darkness in the world. She taught Michael these things not by just telling him what a good man was but showing him. Mike and his step father may not have been good roll models but she was all the role model he needed. She took Alexis hand.

Natasha do you love my son-
-Never stopped-
