AN/

Hello! Sorry for being late once again. This won't be super long either, kinda a mini chapter because I wanna get stuff to you. Less quicker then more later, i guess. Promise next update will be here sooner.

Quick note: for anyone confused, on GH they never did a paternity test for Avery. They tested Carly because she was related to Morgan but not Sonny. Hope that helps.

-End of AN-

What? But…..how?

If this was true- and he read it enough times to know he wasn't mistaken- then that means that Carly's DNA was a match for Avery. Making Avery and Carly related. But Carly and Sonny clearly weren't related. It only meant one thing.

Avery was Morgan's daughter. For real, not just like he was trying to fake.

How could this happen? Not him being the father, but it going unknown.

He wasn't around Ava back then and was never around the Corinthos family so he has no idea but he knows that everyone thinks Avery is Sonny's. Not this. Not the truth.

Ava didn't know. She couldn't. She wanted custody of Avery, not just now but before too. If she knew, she'd use this. Besides, Ava always wanted the father to be Morgan. He knew that much from how she'd talk and how much he knew she disliked Sonny.

Suddenly he heard a slam on the door. A loud one, like someone slammed their body against it to stop someone from coming in. He instantly jumps up and away from the computer and looks to the door. He can see the shadow of someone standing in front of the door-Liz no doubt blocking someone and warning him.

He has no time to do what he came to do and it turns out shockingly he doesn't have to. He can hardly still process that he could stumble upon this so casually, but it could wait. Right now, he needed to go.

He ran out the other lab door and closed it behind him looking around to make sure nobody saw him who would know he was not supposed to be in the lab.

He casually made his way around to the other door to see Liz again, his mind racing, anything but calm on the inside.

When Liz sees him she's relieved to see he got out safely. "Nikolas, I was worried you wouldn't get out of there in time."

"No...No, I did." He said.

She could instantly tell he was distracted. Distanced by something.

"What's wrong, did you not get a chance to change it?" She asked him concerned.

"I didn't have to." He shared.

"What?" Liz asked. He was so desperate to do so. So determined he even roped her into it and now he just didn't need it?

"Elizabeth…." He breathed out. "The DNA results...they're different."

"Huh?"

"Liz, whatever results were given about Avery are different then what the computer says."

"You think the computer is wrong?" Liz asked. "It can't be. It gets directly uploaded."

"Then the computer's right and we're wrong." Nikolas said. "Avery isn't Sonny's."

"What did you just say?" Liz did a double take.

"If that computer is right, then Avery is Morgan's daughter."

Liz covered her mouth with her hand in shock. It wasn't necessarily good or bad news for her as she had no true connection, but it was shocking. It was good news for Ava and Nikolas she supposed though.

"You have to go tell Ava." Liz said. "You have to tell her that her little girl is really Morgan's!"
