To my lovely readers, thank you so much for your continued support! It's kept me motivated to update! :) To the individual who made a comment about a comment that Jason said to Sam in an earlier chapter, I apologize if that set off the tone as Jasam. I love the Liason pairing, don't get me wrong. I just figured that because Jason got his memories back, he would obviously still have feelings for Sam. She's his wife after all. :) I plan on keeping her with Patrick, don't worry. Again, all depends on what direction the actual show takes, too. Anyway, to my Liason fans, there's going to be a scene not in this chapter but one coming up.

"Hi, do you have an appointment?" Rosalie asked Jason as he walked up.

"No, but I'm an old friend of Mr. Quartermaine's."

"I'm sorry sir, but I'm afraid…"

"Let him in," Michael said from the open office door.

Rosalie gestured for him to enter the office. "What can I do for you Jake?" Michael asked.

"Michael, it's me, Jason."

A look of surprise crossed Michael's features before his face settled into a hard mask. "That's not funny. Jason was my uncle, my friend."

"Would a random stranger know that I killed Carter?"

Michael's eyes widened. "H-How do you know about Carter?"

Jason simply looked solemnly at Michael. "Michael Corinthos III, I was the first person you told about him and what he did. I cared for you when you were but a child. I helped you when you got into a scuffle with Kristina over a stolen watch."

Michael closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It is you."

"I was going to even offer a DNA test," Jason chuckled before pulling Michael up for a hug.

Michael gripped him tightly, clapped him on the back and pulled back with tears in his eyes.

"How is this possible?"

"It's a long story, one I can tell you later. Right now, we need to talk."

"Of course," Michael agreed.

"About your feud with your parents."

Michael's brow furrowed. "There's nothing to say."

Jason shook his head. "You think I'm going to believe that? People make mistakes Michael."

"He killed A.J., Jason. My father."

"Sonny is your father, Michael. I understand that A.J. was your father biologically, but Sonny is the man who raised you."

"That's what Carly was stressing."

"Your mother, Michael, please acknowledge that. I know that she covered for Sonny but she did it for both of you."

Michael looked up incredulously. "By lying to me?"

"Protecting you. I know, being lied to sucks, but Sonny made a mistake, a fatal one. If he had known the whole truth, it would have never happened."

"You know?"

"Your parents gave me the spiel. Blame Ava. Yes your father killed A.J, but it was a mistake."

"A.J. was defenseless. Sonny shot him after he backed away from Ava."

Jason pinched the bridge of his nose. "Trust me, I know. I'm angry, too, but I'm being rational about this."

"And I'm not?"

"Your judgment is clouded by anger. I heard that you cut your parents, your brother, and your girlfriend out of your life."

"They covered it up."

"They made mistakes. They knew that if you found out what Sonny did, it would destroy you and your relationship with him."

"Damn right."

"Michael, you don't hate your family or your girlfriend. You're just hurt. I get that."

"Maybe I don't hate them, but after Kiki and Morgan drugged me, I have every right to be pissed."

Jason's eyes widened. "Excuse me?"

"Yeah, so, Sonny, my dad, and Ava, Kiki's mother, had a brief affair. There was this whole paternity crisis because Morgan could have been the father, too."

"Morgan and Ava?"

Michael shuddered. "Unfortunately. Anyway, Ava got pregnant, Sonny found out that she was the one who killed Connie. He was going to kill her, until he discovered that she was pregnant."

"Sonny must have loved that."

Michael snorted and nodded. "So have you heard about Nina?"

Jason nodded.

"Ava went into premature labor because Nina injected her with some drug. Nina then abducted the child, A.J. or Avery. Franco and Nina escaped to Canada until they were eventually caught. Avery was returned to Sonny's custody. I fought him for custody because I feel that being his child is dangerous. I won."

"Wait…you took your sister from Sonny? Why Michael?"

"Being Sonny's child makes her a target."

"He would have protected her."

"Yeah, like that's worked out so well in the past." Michael snorted.

Jason shut the door. "Michael, your father loves his children. He would never voluntarily put them in danger. You're his son. You know how good of a father he is. Why would you do this?"

"Because he took A.J. from me, from my grandmother, from all of us. Anyway," Michael stopped trying desperately to change the subject. "Kiki and Morgan drugged me in an attempt to make it look like I was unfit. An incident occurred and A.J. was taken away by CPS. She was kidnapped after that. We just relocated her recently. I brokered a deal with my Dad so that I'd get custody of A.J. while Morgan and Kiki wouldn't have to go to prison."

"Michael just let Sonny have his daughter. You know this will destroy him. Not that I doubt your parenting abilities, but I honestly think you should drop this. Don't burn any more bridges."

Michael sighed, looking into Jason's eyes which were clear and honest. "He got out after only three months in prison, Jason."

"I understand your frustration, but sometimes it's best to forgive and not forget, but move on."

Michael nodded, realizing what his uncle was saying was true and that he had been acting irrational. "I miss them, I truly do. I'm pissed at Morgan, but I still love Kiki." (No Michael/Sabrina kiss).

"You do?" Kiki asked from the now open doorway.

Michael's and Jason's attention diverted to her.

"I do," Michael admitted, running a hand through his hair. "My uncle has helped me see it. I'll return Avery to Sonny."

Tears formed in Kiki's eyes as she strode forward to take Michael into her arms.

"So, you're Kiki." Jason murmured.

"And you are?" Kiki asked, lifting her head from Michael's shoulder.

"Jason Morgan."

Kiki's breath hitched. "I thought you were dead."

"Long story," He explained holding out his hand.

"Well, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. Morgan," Kiki said, shaking his hand.

"Jason please. I'll be seeing you later Michael."

Michael nodded and turned his attention to Kiki.

"So you love me?"

Michael gazed at her softly and caressed her face. "I do. Can you ever forgive me for my treacherous behavior?"
"Only if you can forgive me for mine."

Michael nodded and his eyes tightened ever so slightly. "We all make mistakes. I imagine it was Morgan's idea and I could see the guilt eating at you."

Kiki sighed. "Yeah, I mean Morgan and I were in it together, but only because you wouldn't let us see our sister. Don't hate him. We all make mistakes."

Michael smiled at her and bent down to place a soft kiss upon her lips. "I understand, Kiki. I do believe that I never stopped loving you. I was just angry."

"And you always will be the ace of my heart." Kiki said with a grin before pulling Michael in for a much more passionate kiss.

Michael groaned and pulled away just for a second. He pressed his finger to the intercom. "Rosalie, you can have the rest of the day off."

When he saw Rosalie leave, he shut the door with his foot. When he turned around he saw Kiki staring at him.

"Rosalie is your assistant?"

"I hired her when I was still angry. Between you and me, I'm pretty sure she's working for someone else. She's been acting suspicious lately. I'm so sorry, Kiki."

"It's done. I'm sorry, too."

"I'll do anything to make it up to you."

"Anything?" Kiki inquired, her eyebrow lifting mischievously. "I do believe there's something you can do for me, Mr. Quartermaine." She said pulling him back into the kiss.

Michael groaned and backed her up so that was Kiki was leaning against his desk. In one big flourish he sent the papers flying and lifted Kiki onto his desk.

"Now, what can I do for you?" Michael asked, his eyes dark.
