After dinner on the way back to Greystone.
Ric pulled up to the Greystone.
"Thanks for dinner," Kellie said.
"Anytime you need out of Sonny's orbit, you're welcome to hang out at our place," Ric said.
"Okay," Kellie said. She turned to get out of the car.
"Wait. Is something wrong?" Ric asked, "Ever since Molly and Kristina showed up you've been awfully quiet."
"The painkillers have been wearing off," Kellie said.
"No, it's not that" Ric said, "Is it because Kristina referred to you as her sister? Which by the way, you handled great. You're a natural with kids."
Kellie shook her head, "I'm just sore. Thanks again." She got out of the car and headed inside.
"Where've you been?" Sonny asked.
"Having dinner with Uncle Ric and Aunt Alexis," Kellie said.
"If I'm not your father, how can they be your Aunt and Uncle," Sonny asked.
(In the hall, Max says, "Round what twenty begins." Milo says, "Want to take bets?")
Kellie shrugged, "They how know to stay on my good side. Besides, they said it would drive you nuts."
"It's time we discussed your mouth," Sonny said, "I won't tolerate the way it operates anymore."
"I happen to think my mouth runs just fine," Kellie said, "As long as I'm here I might as well put it to good use; namely taking chinks out of the god complex."
"Here's what you need to do," Sonny said.
"This ought to be good," Kellie said.
"Would you shut up long enough to listen," Sonny yelled.
"Go ahead," Kellie.
"Before you say anything think," Sonny said, "You might actually sass people less."
"That's it," Kellie said, "No contract out on my mouth just another friendly little warning. You make this too easy."
"Next time think," Sonny said.
"Oh, I did long enough to come up with that and say it," Kellie said.
"Is this you're sole purpose for staying in PC.." Sonny started to say.
"It's a lot of fun, I could do this for quite awhile," Kellie said, "However to stick around just to torment you would imply I actually care. And I don't care. So I'll leave town."
Sonny said, "You can't honestly say you don't care."
"My parents have been dead to me since I was a little girl," Kellie said, "This doesn't change anything." Kellie turned to head upstairs.
"We're not done," Sonny said.
"So we're actually going to discuss your resources and Ethan," Kellie said, "That's the only way we're not done."
"I don't want you involved," Sonny yelled.
"Too bad, I'm already involved," Kellie said, "The sooner you get that through your bullet proof glass plated skull, the better."
"I don't want you involved and that's final," Sonny said.
"It's not about what you want, Corinthos," Kellie said, "I won't back off and Ethan won't allow it."
"I'll send you away," Sonny said.
"At least you won't have to listen my mouth for the time it's takes me to get back here," Kellie said, "You need to stop treating me like I'm two years old because two year olds are not capable of taking out a half dozen grown men in a hail of gunfire."
"I couldn't be there for you growing up," Sonny said, "Let me do at least this for you."
"You can't make up for not being there," Kellie said, heading upstairs, "Take your preconceived notions about me and burn and drown them with your fatherly overtures towards me."
"This isn't over," Sonny said.
"You're wrong," Kellie yelled, "This is over." A door slammed.
"How come you and Kellie fight all the time?" Michael asked.
"Come here, Michael," Sonny said, "I'm sorry we woke you up. We don't agree on a lot of things and unfortunately, your sister is more like me than she or I ever want to admit."
"But she doesn't act like you're her dad," Michael asked.
"Kellie didn't have a family growing up and it's hard for her to adjust," Sonny said, "Now I think it's time for you to go to bed."
