The next morning Julian stopped by and picked up Giovanni. Olivia told him that the appointment was at 2 in the afternoon. After having a long talk with Alexis last night, he decided to let some of the anger go. It wasn't good for him or his son. He told Olivia that he did not expect an apology but he told her that she owed one to Sam for letting her think she was responsible for what happen.
He and Alexis were now standing on the front steps to his daughter and son-in-laws house. Giovanni nestled in a blanket. Alexis knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. She smiles at her fiancé and puts her hand on his arm. Jason is the one that opens the door and is shocked by what he sees. "Hey Jason." They say as they walk into the house. Before Jason can asks about the baby Sam and Lucas come running into the room. "Let me see…" Sam starts to say before she is taken aback by what is in her father's arms. Both her and Lucas are shocked and at a standstill. Julian walks over to his oldest children and stands in front of them.
"Who is that?" Lucas asks his father.
"This is you little brother. Giovanni Alex Jerome." Julian says to them. "Gio for short."
"But…what…?" Sam starts to say.
"She lied. Olivia decided that I was too dangerous to be around my son so she faked his death with the help of Dante and Ned. The only reason she told the truth was because Dante told her you have been blaming yourself." Julian tells his daughter.
Julian recognizes the same rage in his daughter's eyes that he had just last night. "Sam, it is done and over with. I am going to be in his life and that if all I care about. He will never not now me. Or any of you. Once the doctors give him a clean bill of health me and Olivia will share custody." Julian places his son in his daughter's arms and says "Gio, I want you to meet your sister Sam and your brother Lucas." Sam's eyes well with tears as she looks at her little brother. She can't believe that he is alive. "Hi, Gio." Lucas says from behind his sister. He places his hand on the top of his little head. "He's beautiful." Sam say and she smiles at the wide awake baby. "I think so." Julian smiles.
"Grandpa!" Danny says as he and Lila come running into the room.
"Hey buddy!" Julian says as he leans down to pick up his grandson. Lila goes straight to her grandmother and gives her a hug. Ever since she found out what happened all those years ago she wanted her grandma to know that she was not mad at her. Alexis hold her granddaughter in her arms for a long tight hug. "Hey sweetie." She says.
"Morning grandma." Lila gives her a smile. Lila goes to do the same with her grandfather and Danny goes to see his grandma. "How you doin', sweet pea?" her grandfather asks her. "I'm doing great. But what's going on? Whose baby is this?" she asks him.
"Mine." He tells her.
Lila's eyes go big. Her mom told her about the baby he thought he lost. "Long story short, his mother thought he would be safer without me in his life so she decided to fake his death. She got to feelin' guilty so she told the truth." He explains to her.
Lila scoffs, "So you were good enough to help make him but not to raise him? Who is she to decide that?" Lila looks over at her grandmother realizing that she did the same with Kristina and says "Sorry."
Alexis laughs and pulls Lila to her and says "It ok, baby. I made a mistake and I can admit that."
"Oh, man." Lucas says as if he just realized something.
"What?" everyone looks at him and asks. "We are one of those families." He says
"What families?" Jason asks.
"You know, where the niece and nephew are older than the uncle." He said pointing to Lila, Danny and Gio respectively. Everyone laughs at him when Sam catches notice of the ring on her mother's finger. "Let me see it!" Sam says as she passes her baby brother to Lucas. Alexis gives a laugh and shows her and Lila the ring.
"Wow! Good job dad!" Julian smiles at her.
Jason then says "Alright before things get too mushy, is everyone hungry?"
"Me! Me! Me!" Danny says jumping up and down, getting a laugh from the room. "Well, ok then let's go and eat." Jason says picking his son up and leading the way back to the kitchen. "Hey dad, can you grab the pack-n-play from the hall closet? Gio is too small for the high chair so we can lay him down in that." "Sure honey." Julian goes to grab it and then heads to the kitchen to have breakfast with his family.
Kristina is on her way to her first day as Carly's assistant. She was really excited but she was also nervous. He heads into Kelly's to grab a cup of coffee when she sees someone familiar working behind the counter. "Hey! You running this place now?"
Ethan looks up and smiles at her. "Yes, I am."
"Really?" Kristina asks. "Yep."
"Well good for you." she smiles at him. He smiles back at her and says "What can I get you?"
"Coffee. Today is my first day and I don't want to be late." She tells him.
"Coming up." He goes about getting her coffee when he asks "Are you excited?"
"Yeah but I'm also nervous. I don't want to screw anything up." "You will do great. Hey why don't you come by after you get off and we will have dinner? You can tell me about you first day and we can catch up?" He asks her.
Krissy looks at him and says "Sure. That would be great. You can tell me about all of you adventures." She smiles at him.
He laughs and says "Sure. So what time do you get off?" "5." She tells him. "Ok so why don't you come by around 6?" "Ok. I'll see you tonight." She says as she grabs her coffee and heads to the door. "Tonight." Ethan say back at her. She turns around and smiles at him one more time and he returns it before she walks out the door.
