Had to fix one thing in chapter 12. I said Gia's mother was fourteen when she had her I meant to put eighteen just changed that. I am going to rewrite Stavros' death and post it later. The original details are coming back slowly but I wanted to continue to write this story about Jason and Gia.
Gia stared across the park watching her husband and son played on the swings. A.J. chased Michael. Carly sat in the sand with her daughter. A month past since she killed Stavros. She did it. For three hours, she tortured the man. Jason stood aside as she peeled the skin from the Cassadine's body. Giggling she listened to his screams. When she was exhausted, Stephan took over. Years of frustrated submission wore on him. Gia watched fascinated as the two-inch knife penetrated the Princes' body.
"I've had a lifetime to imagine how he would die." Stephan explained.
Jason looked on not missing Gia's excited look. She enjoyed the screams too much she never flinched as Stephan beat Stavros with the bamboo cane. He was worried he took her to a place she could never return from. Like Carly after she shot Tony. Jason could not reach her but A.J. defied the family and worked with Carly until she came back from the edge. The break through began when he promised to allow Jason and Carly raise the boy. Once A.J. realized who was important Carly fell in love. Michael was happy and Jason could let go.
What would happen to Gia? Had he pushed her too far? Was this an expression of her pent-up rage? Would she become catatonic like Brenda? She needed to let go of the anger. Could she do it? He got his answer after slitting the Princes' throat. Jason took her to their safe house where they showered. She cooked dinner. Mid way through the meal, she began shaking.
"Gia?" He knelt in front of her.
"He can't hurt us anymore." She whispered tearfully. "No matter what else happens, he can't hurt us. Thank you."
"For what?" Jason could not resist laying his head on her lap. The denim from her jeans scratched his cheek.
"I was so angry at myself. I felt hopeless. He had control of everything." Gia took his head in her hands forcing him to look at her. "You saved me. I'm better for doing this."
She was. The old Gia was back. She felt confident, even now, as she held her two-week-old niece in her arms, flanked by her brother and sister-in-law. The couple broke the news. Elizabeth Webber was her sister and she knew.
"We need to tell the family." That was how Gia referred to then now. A.J. and Carly, Marcus and Sam, she and Jason were the family.
Taggart stood putting his hands to his mouth. "Family meeting."
"Can you be subtle?" Sam slapped his leg.
The adults made their way over letting the nannies and guards take over care of the kids.
"What's wrong now?" Carly asked taking a place next to Gia.
"Elizabeth Webber is my sister." She looked at Carly. "She just keeps pushing her way into our lives doesn't she?"
"That bitch planned this from the beginning. I don't know how or why but when your souls were in heaven she decided she wanted your life. So she swooped in to take it." Carly asserted.
"Carly," Jason sighed but did not try to defend Elizabeth.
"She was in our room when I came back from the walk around the hospital."Sam explained guiltily. "The folder was in the bag with the DNA test we did. She knows, I could see it on her face."
"Gia, this is about you," A.J. began. "What do you want to do?"
Gia looked at Jason. "Nothing. Elizabeth means nothing to me. She has been annoying but now I have an incredible life with my incredible husband and son."
"Nice to hear." Jason smiled. "Carly no plans."
"What?" Carly looked shocked.
"She won't." A.J. promised. You know Elizabeth is going to use this to her advantage. She still has a thing for you."
"There's nothing Elizabeth can do to threaten my family." Jason promised.
"So what do we do know?" Gia asked. "Mom was planning to come up this week but Mrs. Jacobs had an accident so she'll be here next week. I wanted to save this until then."
"What?" Taggart looked down at her concerned.
"I want you and Sam to move back top Port Charles." Gia suggested. "The mob is gone. You have this beautiful little girl. I want my family back."
"I can sweeten the deal." A.J. said. "Gia and I were talking, Sam. You were planning on opening a restaurant on the docs?"
"Well yes but that was before I got married and started a business."
"But haven't the last few months been amazing?" Carly asked. "I mean I don't have girl friends but now I do. We could have a great fifties diner. A place where the kids could come after school, we can have family nights. It will be great."
"We could convince mom it stay and be a real family." Gia wiped a tear away from her face.
"What if we wanted to stay where we are?" Taggart asked.
"We would move there." Jason assured him.
"No, their right." Sam took Marcus' hand. "This is our home. I want to stay."
"Alright, we need a house." Gia squealed startling the baby in her arms. With a sheepish grin, she passed the newborn to Samantha.
"Stay away from Elizabeth." Lucky hurried up to them followed by Nicholas and the brunette.
"Looks like the Princess is following us." Carly stood smirking at the woman.
"I know you left that folder for me to find." Elizabeth let her eyes roam over Jason. "I just don't know what you want."
"I don't want anything for you Elizabeth, nothing." Gia stood between Jason and the older woman. "I just found out about our connection and I would rather ignore it."
"I don't believe you Gia. You've always been jealous of me." Elizabeth took Lucky's hand.
"Jealous of you?" Gia took a step forward. "I beat you out in the Face of Deception contest. I have the man you've been drooling over for years. I have a family that loves and will do anything to protect me. What do you have that I want? You are nothing but a narcissistic slut, desperate for any man's attention. From your wide-eyed save me stare right down to the tips of your six little toes. Freak, I hope that gene skipped your kids."
"I had that sixth toe removed!" Elizabeth cried.
"Whatever," Gia smiled smugly. "I have an idea. Let's pretend we don't know each other. That way my children will never need to be ashamed."
"That's enough Gia." Nicholas said searching her face. Jason signaled for the guards to take the children back to the cars.
"Let me extend that invitation to you too Nicholas." She grinned slightly. "Now that the wicked witch and her spawn are dead you can claim your son."
"Carly!" Lucky accused.
'Your brother confessed out of guilt." Again, Gia took a step forward. It was matched by Jason.
"Your husband killed my family." Nicholas said quietly.
"Jason did not kill anyone." The head of the Cassadine Empire shivered involuntarily at the calm rage in her eyes. "Stay away from me big sis or the hell I put you through when we were kids will not compare to what I'll do today."
It's about to be a girl fight. Really who was feeding Stavros information?
Thank you for the feedback guys. Still don't own G.H.
