Jason walked in to the penthouse after a long day of working for Sonny.
" Where have you been? I've been calling you all night." Brenda ran up and hugged her very confused husband. He let himself hold her as she started to cry.
" What's wrong?" He asked loudly, but he wasn't yelling.
" Shhh. Julia's kids are up-stairs. They ran away, and they came here. I put them in my room. Is it okay if they stay here for a little while?" The words came out of Brenda's mouth quickly. The thought of what her sister must be going through killed her, and Jason could see that.
" Yeah. Sure. You can sleep with me." Jason got a small smile out of her.
" I have to go call Julia..." She went in to the kitchen, and Jason went upstairs and in to Brenda's room. He say a 10 year old boy and a 6 year old girl. The girl looked just like Brenda. Curly brown hair, small body, Jason was scared she would have an attitude like Brenda. The boy started to turn and Jason quickly left the room.
" Cute kids." Jason said walking down the stairs meeting Brenda at the bottom. " do you know why they ran away?" Brenda wiped her eyes and shook her head. " do you know why they came to you?"
" I'm Aunt Brenda. I take them out and we have fun everything I see them. I don't why they ran away though. I know Julia and her husband were having problems, but Christian wouldn't take his sister like that and just leave if that were the case."
" Christian?"
" Christian is 10, and his sister Sarah is 6."
" A 10 year old boy and his 6 year old sister ran away from Florida to Port Charles New York to be with there Aunt. Why didn't Julia just bring them?"
" They didn't just run away to be with there Aunt, and if they wanted just to see me they know all they have to do is ask. Julia was freaked out on the phone, so they must of had a different reason." Jason nodded.
" They're so young." He said.
" I know that." Brenda snapped. " I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that." They both sat and the couch and Jason pulled her in to his arms. " You know we can't fight as long as they're here, you know that right." Jason smiled down at her. " Sorry, I had to take away the entertainment out of your life." She smiled back at him. "Thank you." She said softly almost falling asleep on top of him, and he kissed the top of her head. " I'm going to go to bed." she got up and walked to Jason's bed room. Soon after he fallowed.

A.J. Quartermain held his naked wife in his arms.
" I'm so glad you came back to me." he said in to her ear.
" Me, too. I'm happy I realized the only person that has ever loved me was you. I'm sorry for leaving you." She smiled at him.
" I'm sorry for driving you away."
" Don't. It's all over and done with. All that matters is that we are going to get Jason and Brenda back for hurting you. So, what is it that you have in mind?"
" I want them to suffer. Jason's hurt both of us, and he loves Brenda. I don't want to kill anyone, but I really want to pay for what they did to us, and for driving us apart." Courtney said not giving A.J. a change to argue with her about hurting Brenda. He had always liked Brenda, they grew up together and unlike Jason, he remembered. This was for Courtney, and he would do anything to get to Jason, even if it meant hurting his once best friend.

Jason came down stairs to see a little boy sitting on the couch.
" What are you doing up at this time?" Jason asked him nicely.
" I can't sleep." The young boy said staring at the fire-place
" You wanna start a fire?" Jason asked and they boy nodded. They started to build a fire together.
" Aunt Brenda told me about you. You're her husband. Doesn't that make you my uncle? I'm Christian. What's your name?"
" Jason, or Uncle Jason. You can pick one." Jason said looking up as Brenda came down stairs to find them both sitting by the fire.
" What's going on here?" She asked and sat next to Jason.
" Uncle Jason built me a fire." Christian told her and she smiled.
" Aunty." A small voice came from the stairs.
" Hey Sarah. Come here." Brenda said and Sarah walked over to her and sat in her lap and rested against her. " Are you okay?"
" I got scared. I thought Christian left." Sarah said.
" I didn't go anywhere. Uncle Jason made a fire." Christian said and Sarah smiled.
" I like fire."
" Why did you guys leave home?" Brenda asked. " You can stay here, but you need to tell me what's wrong so we can fix it." Christian looked up at her.
" Mommy wanted to send us to Cuba." He said softly, and Brenda's heart broke.
