Just to let you know, Manny's changed. I like the new many better than the other one so I decided to not have him go back to his old self. He has had the operation but it didn't affect his behavior. He's trying to be a good father to Jody. Also, I know it's hard to believe but Sam's forgiven Manny for all the bad stuff he's done to her.
"Sonny, Manny's outside. We tried to get him off the property but he keeps saying you asked him here." Max said as he came in. Jody's eyes got big.
"Let him in." Sonny said. Max gave him a confused look and left.
"Jody, don't worry. Dad's overprotective of us. The guards do that to every stranger that comes here. They've even done it to the pizza guy." Michael said as Manny came in.
"Mr. Corinthos, Mrs. Corinthos, Mr. Morgan, I'm glad that we could meet and talk about our little ones here going out." Manny said as Jody ran and gave him a hug.
"Manny, you call us by our first names." Carly said as she shook his hand. Max was still at the door.
"Max, it's ok. We invited Manny here because he's Jody's. We want to talk to him about Jody and Michael going out." Sonny said as he took Max into the hall.
"Do you want us to be on guard just incase." Max asked.
"I don't think he's going to try anything because Jody's here. I don't want Jody scared. If Jody gets scared, Michael will never forgive me. Or anyone else in this family." Sonny said as he went back in.
"Manny, can I get you a drink?" Sonny asked as he walked over to the bar.
"No thank you. I will take a coffee if you have any though. Carly got up and went to make some.
"So, Jody and Michael are going out. I hope this doesn't make you feel bad Sonny. I know I've done bad things. I've changed. I just got custody of Jody form her mother. She was an alcoholic and she abused Jody. I'm trying to do my best to take care of her so that when her mom gets out of rehab, she and I can share responsibility of Jody." Manny said as Carly came with a tray of coffee and cookies. He smiled.
"I agree with you. The kids shouldn't have to suffer because of the stuff that went on between us." Sonny said as Michael and Jody giggled from the top of the stairs.
"Ok you two. You can come down now." Carly said as they came down.
"Whatever went on between Manny, uncle Jason and me doesn't affect you guys going out." Sonny said as Michael gave Sonny a hug and Jody gave Manny a hug.
"It's time to leave ladybug. We need to get home so you can do your homework before you go to bed." Manny said. Michael and Jody went to the hall to say good bye.
"Would you guys like to come to our place for supper sometime?" Manny asked.
