The echos of Eddie's last song ring out into Luke's. Brenda, Julia, Jessi, Lois, Brooke, and 5 year old Edward Michael Ashton sit at one table. Luke, Laura, Lindsey, Lulu are at another. Lucky, Emily, and their 5 month daughter, Lisa Paige Spencer have just joined the Spencer table. Jason, Clive, and Sonny converse in the back office of Luke's. This is not where Jason wanted to hold a private conversation since anyone could and would walk in at anytime, but there was no where else to go. Jason's apartment was being fumigated, and he had planned on staying with Brenda and Jessi for the night, so a meeting at either one of those two places wouldn't work. Any remotely quiet place outside was out due to the rain and windstorm that was making it's way through Port Charles. That left only Luke's and as soon as they had entered the back door and went into the back office, Jason got a feeling in his gut that Luke's was not a good idea.

Back out in the main part of Luke's Eddie has finished singing. Ned has stepped off the stage and Brooke and Little Eddie run to hug him. Ned leans down to scoop them up into a giant hug. Over at the Spencer table Lucky is gently raising Lisa up down as he makes faces at her. She giggles with baby glee. Luke has Lindsey in his lap and is trying to show her how to play musical glasses while Lu sits and laughs at her father's antics. Luke looks at her and tells her that he is the happiest man on earth because he has two beautiful daughters. Laura gives him a hug and helps Luke teach Lindsey how to play musical glasses. Lu grabs a spoon and joins in the fun.

Meanwhile Jessi is watching all the happy families around her. She hears her mother and Aunt Julia talking to her but she can't make out the words. She's not paying attention. All she sees are happy families, and that she will never have one. Sure she had people her loved her, but she didn't have a mommy and a daddy living in the same house. As a matter of fact she only had a living mommy. Her daddy was dead. He always had been and always would be. She didn't even know him. She used to wish that he was alive so she could talk to him, but now she didn't know. She was a little bit afraid of the image that her mind and the newspaper had created of a mob boss. She couldn't tell her mother this, because she wouldn't understand. Somehow her mother must have accepted and understood that kind of lifestyle or she wouldn't have fallen in love with him. Jessi wasn't sure if she could trust her mother's feelings on her father. She wanted desperately to love the image of her father that her mother had created, but that was now clouded by the truth that she was scared of.

Brenda and Julia are trying to get Jessi to talk to them. Lois has gone over to join her family by the stage. Jessi is not responding to anything they say. She glances at them occasionally, but doesn't say anything. Brenda can tell that she is lost in thought and this worries and frustrates her. Jessi usually tells her everything, but since this afternoon, Jessi hasn't told her anything. She wants to know what is going on in Jessi's head so she can possibly try to help her. She can't do a thing if Jessi won't talk to her.

Julia tries to help Brenda get Jessi talk, but the whole situation saddens her. She loves her sister and niece dearly, and can't stand the pain in both of their eyes. Damn Sonny Corinthos. Julia knew he was bad news. She had heard about his reputation before she had left for London. She had tried many times to get Brenda to see the light about her letters. Brenda never saw the light. Julia was sorry about the way that Sonny had died, but she wasn't sorry that he was gone. Brenda knew this, and they both agreed to not talk about Sonny in each other's presence. They wanted to keep their sister relationship in tact better than it had been in the years that they had growing up and during the time that Julia was in London. They had done a good job of it so far. Julia looked before and shook her head. Jessi was such a pretty child. She didn't need the burden of her father on her. Jessi was the only thing that Julia was thankful to Sonny for. Sonny of all people had to be this beautiful child's father, and he was responsible for the pain that she was going through. Silently Julia vowed, "Sonny, I don't care if you're her father. I'll never forgive you for this."

Luke looked up from his game and glanced at Jessi. The poor little darling was still so lost looking. Jessi was usually full of life and spirit. Sometimes he swore that Sonny's spirit was reborn in her. She had his looks and his temper. She also had his business mind. Not the illegal activities part, but the math part. Sonny was always good with the numbers for the club. Lulu was two years older than Jessi, but she went to Jessi for help in math. Luke smiles as he knew Sonny would if he could see his girl now. He would be very proud of her. Jessi was also a lot like Brenda. She hated to be lied to. Tonight was pure evidence of that. Luke knew that Jessi was strong, but she could she take this stress? He didn't want to know how Lulu would handle the same situation if it had been him who had died instead of Sonny. Silently he pleaded, "Sonny help your daughter. She needs you know. I promise I'll help her as much as I can, like always, but she needs you buddy."

Sonny walked around the office. It had been so long since he had been there. The old desk was still there. Luke's safe was still in the corner. There was a family portrait on the desk. Sonny picked it up. Wow, the Spencer family had grown, he thought. Luke and Laura with Lulu, Lucky, Emily Quartermaine, a small three year girl, a baby girl, Carly Roberts, AJ Quartermaine, a red-haired boy, Bobbie, and his father Mike were in the picture. He figured that Luke and Laura must have had another daughter. Lucky must have married Emily and they had a baby girl. He couldn't figure out why Carly, AJ, and his father were in the picture. Spencers and a Quartermaine in the same picture? What had he missed when he was gone? There was another picture on the desk. Sonny picked it up. It was of three young girls. He recognized Lulu from the first picture, the blue-eyed dark haired girl reminded him of Lois so he thought she must be Brooke. He couldn't place the small girl in the middle. She was a pretty child with dark black hair, intense brown hair, and dimpled smile that would be sure to break a few hearts when she was older. Jason came up behind him and looked at the picture.
J: "Nice picture, huh?"
S: "Yeah. This here is Lulu, and this is Brooke, but who's this in the middle?"
J: "Jessi."
Sonny looks at Jason expecting some sort of explanation, but the look in Jason's eyes tells him he's not going to get one. He's curious now. He feels like he should know this girl, but why?
