Sam's POV
"What do you mean?" Rocco asked, packing his bag for school.
"Sit down, we need to talk about something. It really saddens me to have to have this conversation with you." Sam gingerly sits down on the edge of his bed.
"Then don't." Flew out of his mouth.
"How would you feel if your dad was murdered and someone was taunting you about it? Would that make you feel good about yourself?" Sam crossed her arm, fixing her gaze on Rocco.
"Charlotte is a big tattletale!" Rocco mutters, shaking his head completely ignoring the rest of what she said.
"You're not being a very good brother or a very good son. You're mom has barely seen you since she woke up last week. It's been two years...why wouldn't you want to see her? You haven't even given Johnny a chance, kind of like you haven't given me a chance. I think your priorities are messed up." Sam was growing tired of his antics.
"When mom and dad get back together -" Rocco started but, Sam's amused chuckle made him shut up.
"Lulu and Dante aren't getting back together. I'm pregnant with your future sibling, I'm engaged to your dad. Lulu and Charlotte are moved in with Johnny. Look, I know divorce is a tough thing to get past but you've gotta let it go. Not everyone's parents are meant to be together. I'm sorry." Sam's expression softened a bit, it was hard accepting changes.
"You don't know that they aren't getting back together. I'd appreciate if you'd butt out of my life like you know me." Rocco grumbled walking out of his room, Sam shakes her head her blood boiling.
"I've gotta talk to Dante." She sighed, as soon as Danny and Scout left for school Sam locked the door to the house and drove down to the police station. When she walked into the station Dante was bent over his desk, concentrating on something.
"Dante?" She asked calling him out of his stupor.
"Baby, what are you doing here?" Dante did a doubletake.
"There's something I need to ask you." Sam cleared her throat, walking over to his desk.
"Shoot." Dante clued in that whatever it was, was important.
"Rocco has refused to go and see Lulu as long as she's with Johnny. Have you been filling his head with anything? I'm not accusing you, I'm just trying to figure all of this...out. Danny told me that Rocco has been taunting Charlotte about Valentin dying. This is serious, Dante." Words spilled out of Sam's mouth, Dante placed a hand over his face.
"Rocco Falconeri you will be the death of me." Dante groaned, as of enough wasn't going on.
"I know I'm sorry." Sam frowned, grasping his hand.
"I swear I haven't said anything about Johnny since Rocco was like, three. I don't like the guy but, I'm not going to let it ruin my day anymore. That chapter of my life is shut. What Lulu and I had was great, until it wasn't. I think I speak for both of us when I say we are never getting back together. It's just nice to have Lulu as a friend and co-parent and not have anything extra. We outgrew each other a long time ago. My future is with you and our family." Dante places his hand on Sam's bump.
"I didn't think you had. Dante, we've gotta do something. This isn't good."
Matt's POV
Today was the day I would finally get to go back home, I had definitely missed Port Charles. More than anything I had missed Maxie, I wondered how she was doing. I had heard that she was married I hoped she was happy, I wish it was me that she was married to. For a short five minutes it had been, until I went down for killing Lisa. A small part of me hoped for a happy ending but, I knew I wouldn't be happy unless it was with her.
Charlotte's POV
That afternoon I got home from school practicing what I would say to mom and Johnny, would this go over well? I mean, all I could do was try. Right? I walked into the penthouse to see mom and Johnny sitting on the couch, quietly talking.
"Hey mommy." I called out, earning a bright smile from my mother.
"Hey baby, how was your day?" She got up to hug me.
"I wanted to run something by you guys, if that's okay."Charlotte was nervous but she tried not to show it.
"Shoot." Johnny gave her an encouraging smile.
"Well, there's this father daughter dance at school and I was wondering if you would like to take me." I faced Johnny, expectantly.
" What? Oh my God, you want me to go with you?" Johnny gasped in surprise, taken back.
"Yes, of course. I would really like that." I nodded.
"Of course I'll take you, I'd be honored." Charlotte goes over to hug Johnny.
'Mom, are you crying?" Charlotte asked, seeing Lulu dabbing at her eyes.
"I'm just so glad that everything...sort of is coming together." Lulu explained, tears of joy on her face.
"Except for Rocco." Charlotte mutters.
"I hope he'll come around, I don't want to be the reason for him not coming around." Johnny knew this was hard on Lulu.
"It's not your fault, he's been like this for two years." Charlotte shook her head, why did Rocco have to be such a pain?
"Anyway enough of that, are there any boys that caught your fancy this year?" Lulu smirked.
'Well, I may have a small crush on Danny Morgan." She tried not to blush, she didn't know if he felt the same way or not.
"Ahhh Jason's son, of course." Johnny chuckled, not surprised.
"I knew Danny would be a lady-killer. Does Danny know how you feel?" Lulu smiled, this was her baby's first crush! She was elated.
"No, I haven't said anything. I'm not even sure he'd like me like that. I mean, we're good friends and all that but...I don't know." Charlotte wrung her hands out in front of her.
"I remember a certain someone who had a crush on me and was a stubborn asshole about it." Lulu slowly smirked, slyly glancing over at Johnny.
"Said stubborn asshole was trying to keep you safe." Johnny gives her a knowing look.
"I just love hearing the two of you talk." Charlotte giggled, taking a seat on the edge of the coffee table.
Maxie's POV
With a heavy heart I knocked on the door, hoping that uncle Mac was home...I didn't think I could have this conversation again.
"Maxie, I didn't know you were coming by." Felicia Scorpio wraps her daughter into a hug, Maxie had to fight herself not to break down
"It's good to see you, mom. Is Uncle Mac here? There's something I need to tell you guys and it's... NOT pretty." Maxie pulled back to look at her mom.
"He's in the bedroom, I'll go get him." Felicia sensed the urgency of this matter, going into the bedroom she shared with Mac.
"Oh, I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack." Maxie placed her hand over her heart, it felt like her heart was hammering out of her chest as she sat down trying to calm herself.
"What's wrong?" Mac asked concerned, sitting in front of Maxie.
"Nathan cheated on me and is trying to take James away from me..."
