At noon the next day Reese was sitting on the couch in Sonny's privet jet flying to Port Charles, New York. She had spent the night packing and wondering if this was going to work out.
"Ms. Marshall." Max said coming into the cabin from the front of the plane. "We'll be arriving soon."
":Ok, thanks Max." Reese said fastening her seatbelt.
The plane landed twenty minutes later and Reese walked off the plane with Max.
"Mr. Corinthos, says your apartment isn't ready yet so he has invited you to stay with him."
"Ok." Reese said.
She climbed into the awaiting car and they head off after her bags were loaded. A half hour later they pulled up to Grey Stone Manner.
"This place is so huge?" Reese said.
"I know. Mr. Corinthos is inside waiting for you." Max said.
Slowly they made their way into the house. Max showed Reese into the living room. Sitting on the couch with a little girl on his lap was Sonny.
"Mr. C. Ms. Marshall." Max said.
Sonny turned his head and was blown away. Reese felt her heart skip a beat.
"Hi." Sonny said standing up with the girl in his arm. "Nice to meet you"
"You too." Reese said shaking his hand.
"This is my daughter Kristina." Sonny said.
"Hi." Reese said.
"Hi." Kristina said softly.
"Max, why don't you take Reese's bags to her room."
"Yes, boss." max said leaving the room.
"Please have a seat. Can I get you something"
"No, thank you." Reese said.
"Well, I hate to bombard you with work right away, but something came up late last night and it needs your immediate attention"
"That ok. Let me see what you got." Reese said.
Sonny handed her a file.
"Kristina's mother wants to take her from me and I need you to find a way to stop her."
Reese read over the file. Nodding her head and writing several notes down.
"Ok, can you fill in some blanks." Reese said.
"Sure, give me a minute." Sonny said. "Leticia."
"Yes." A women said coming in. "Is she ready for a nap"
"I think so." Sonny said handing her over. "Sweet dreams baby."
Reese watched as Leticia climbed the stairs with Kristina in her arms. Sonny sat back down and looked at Reese.
"Ok, so what do you need to know?" Sonny asked.
"Tell me why your name isn't on Kristina's birth certificate?"
"I just recently found out Kristina was my daughter." Sonny said. "Her mother Alexis Davis and I had a one night stand. She became pregnant and didn't tell me. She told everyone else another man was her father. I didn't find out until after Kristina was in sick in the hospital dying"
"Ok, so how did you find out?"
"My ex-wife Carly told me. Kristina needed a bone marrow transplant and time was running out. Alexis refused to tell me, but let my brother know. She told me and I had my family tested. My father, sister and son didn't match. I didn't match. I felt hopeless. But I had another daughter. She wasn't born yet. Her mother induced labor and she was born. She matched, but the doctors didn't want to cause her any pain so we used her stem cells to save her"
"So you have two daughters and one son"
"No, I have two sons and two daughters. My oldest is Michael, he is eight, then Kristina she is three, then Morgan is two and Lila is three months. Michael is adopted. His mother is my ex wife Carly. She is also Morgan's mother. Lila's mother is Sam"
"And where are all these kids?" Reese asked.
"Michael is at school. He and Morgan live here. Morgan is with his mother for the day. Lila lives with her mother and my business partner Jason Morgan. I have agreed to allow Jason to be her dad"
"Interesting." Reese said. "May I ask why"
"Jason is like my brother and he loves Sam and has been there for her and Lila for months. Jason was Michael's dad for the first few years of his life. Michael biological father is AJ Quartermaine. He is scum. To help Carly I adopted Michael and he has been my son ever since. Some look at it like an exchange, but I love Lila and I know Jason will give her a good life. I will always be a part of my daughter's life"
"Ok, so Alexis is married"
"Yes, she had a quicky ceremony with my brother Ric to make it look like they could give her the better life. The judge saw through it and saw that I wasn't given anytime with my daughter so he awarded me custody. I guess Ric and Alexis decided to give married life a try and build a family so they could take another chance at Kristina. Alexis is pregnant with Ric's baby"
"So they look like the committed happy family, while you look like a single father." Reese said.
"Look, I love my kids. I went by the law to get my kids"
"I see that. You are providing a good and stable home for all your kids. Is there anything that could be used against you"
"I have a record." Sonny said. "Alexis tried to black mail me with something and well it failed at the last minute."
"Ok, well I will need to look at your record and trust me I wont judge."
Sonny chuckled.
"I'll have one of my men get it for you." Sonny said standing and leaving the room.
Reese stood up and walked around looking at the pictures.
"Beautiful huh?" Sonny said standing next to her. "Hard to believe they could make my heart melt."
"Kids have a way of doing that." Reese said rubbing her belly.
"You should eat." Sonny said. "How about some lunch"
"Sounds good, but I have this odd craving for Italian food." Reese said.
"Well, then you're in luck. I specialize in Italian food. Come you can be the first to see my true kingdom."
Things jump start in ways neither could know.
