She made mistakes here, then left and went to Llanview, that didn't work out well, the only thing that happened there was she learned that Adam and Athea weren't her real parents, that she was stolen as a baby and her real parents were Rae and Alan so she moved to Port Charles to meet her father and she found a friend in her half brother A.J, they were just alike in so many ways. And Jax Jacks was her friend too and Stefan Cassadine was her boyfriend, which her family didn't like well. Now she was on her way to Pine Vally to see Adam, she needed to talk to him and she missed her uncle Stuart who, always loved her no matter what she did. She didn't tell Adam she was coming, she was nervous about this trip. Back at the Chandler Mansion Adam was playing with Colby when Skye walk in.

"when are you coming home everyone misses you ?"
"Moncia misses me?"
"No but Dad and I do very much and I can tell that Grandfarter does a little,"
"I just need to think about somethings before I go back that's all."

Chapter 2
Skye Came down staris to talk to Adam. When they where talking someone knocked on the door who Skye thought was never going to come back. It was Althea!
"Mother?"
"Antoniette I missed you so much! I have been looking for you all these years."
"No you are dead I was there!"
She had a flashback...
"Mother why won't you wake up? Delaney, Nanny, Aunt Franceess call 911."
End of Flashback.
"Skye are you all right?" asked Adam.
"Antoniette aren't you happy to see me?"
"My name is Skye now not Antoniette. Antoinette was a little girl who let people hurt her but Skye, she fights back."
"What do you what Althea money?" Adam said.
"Adam now you are acting like a father for our daughter, you were never there for us."
"I know your secret dear mother that you bought me. I found my real mother and father. I'm so happy that I'm not a Patterson by blood."
Haylee and Liza came downstairs.
"What's going on?" Haylee asked.
"This is my adopted, not so dead mother form hell Althea."
"You don't talk like that to me!" yelled Althea. She was about to slap Skye when Adam set in.
"you won't hurt my daughther anymore! I know I was not there to protect her when she was little but I'm here now. How can I get you to leave and never come back?"
"Give me a check for 10 million, then I will leave. But I do love you Antoinette, sorry, Skye. Have you talk to your cousin Delaney?"
"Not in a while, no, why?"
"Nothing, bye my darling." Liza said, "Wow that lady is mean. Adam did you know what she did to Skye when she was little?"
"No. I should have, her mother and sisters are the same way. I hope she will stay away for good."
"I think I should check on Skye," said Haylee. Even though she and Skye never really got along, they still where sisters, even thought she wasn't a Chandler.
"Skye can I come in?" she she said.

Chapter 3
"Skye I'm sorry about your mother,"
"She isn't my mother. Thank God that she adopted me. When I was little my cousin Delaney and me would pray that we would not turn out like our mothers and grandmothers. Mine came true."
"She hurt you bad didn't she?"
"Yes she did. I want a drink so bad right now..."
"Why don't we go to a AA meething?"
"Maybe, I have been clean for years now ."
"Well then don't let her ruin it now, she wants you to."
"Yes I know. I'm glad we talked, Hayley. Can we put all the bad stuff behild us?"
"Yes."
They hugged.
"I'm going to S.O.S, why don't you come with me?"
"Sure, for a non-alcohol drink."
So they left for S.O.S. They went to the club and ran into Edmund Grey who Skye used to like; she hurt him very bad. With Edmund was her ex-husband Tom Cudahy.
"Hi Edmund, Tom,"
"Hi Skye how are you?"
"Fine why did you hear about me?"
"Yes that Althea stole you. I'm so sorry,"
"Funny though I tried to take your daughter away form you and it turns out that I was stole for my mother with the help of my grandfather..."
"Skye I forgive you," Edmund said, and he give her a hug.
"Skye your in town?" Erica asked.
"Yes I'm just here for a little while, I'm not sure if I want to stay in Port Charles anymore."
Her cell phone rang it; was Stefan Cassdine.
"Hi Stefan , I was wondering when you would like to get together?...Will there a problem? I'm not in Port Charles anymore. What?....It's over Stefan! I don't love you anymore! Move on to someone who would love you better then me. Listen to your sisters, they were right about me. I'm nothing but trouble...Goodbye Stefan Cassdine." she hung up the phone. "I will alawys love you forever my daring." she whispered.
"If you love him they why did you break up with him?" asked Erica.
"Cause I did Erica, I had no choice. It's for the best." She wanted to change the subject..."Nice place you have," she said out of the blue.
"Thanks Skye."
While they where talking, A.J walked in the room.
"A.J what are you doing here?"
"I was wondering the same about you! Skye, what are you running from?"


Chapter 4

"A.J what are you doing here?" Skye asked again.
"To see you. Now what are you running from?" AJ replied.
"I'm not running from anything," Skye insisted.
"Is it Stefan? He hurt you didn't he? I will hurt him for huring my sister!" AJ said angrily.
"No A.J, Stefan didn't hurt me. I hurt him...My mother Althea is alive."
"The woman who raised you?"
"Yes, and she wants to make up for the hurt that she caused me."
"Skye, stop changing the subject," AJ cut in. "I know that you love Stefan."
"Yes I do but I can't go back to him." Skye replied. Just as she was about to answer the question, in walked yet another person from her past.
"Delaney?!" Skye exclaimed.
"Hi Antoinette!" the woman answered.
They hugged.
"Hi William."
"Hi."
"I haven't seen you since Dominqiue was born!"
"I know, it's been a long time."
"This is my brother A.J Quartermaine, and this is my cousin Delaney Winterspoon." Skye explained.
"Quartermaine?" asked Delaney, confused.
"I was adopted by Adam and Althea; my real parents are Alan Quartermaine and Rae Cummuings."
"Oh." said Delaney, very surprised. "Wow I have even more bad news this week."
"What are you talking about Delaney?"
"Well this means that we are not real cousins."
"We will always be family!" Skye insisted. "We grew up together."
William went to make a phone call. "Anyway," Skye continued, "what are you doing in Pine Valley?"
"We were on our way to Port Charles when our jet ran out of gas." Delaney explained.
"Port Charles?"
"Yes, William's old friend from law school wants to open a law office together."
"What's their name?" asked Skye.
"Alexis Davis, why do you know her?"
"Yes we both do. We live there." Skye replied.
"Oh are you moving back there?" Delaney asked.
"Maybe..."
"What is it Skye?"
"Nothing...so how are William and you doing?" Skye asked, to change the subject.
"Well...we are getting a divorce..."
"What?!"
Just as they were talking Althea walked in.
"Hello Delaney, why you look just like your mother more each day."
Althea said sweetly.
"I wish you had stayed dead." Delaney spat.
"Skye can I talk to you for a minute?" Althea asked.
"Fine."
They went to a table to talk. "Oh this is going to open a lot of secrets for all of us," Delaney told A.J.
"What kind of secret?" he asked.
"They're better off kept secret, sorry." Delaney replied.
Meanwhile, at the table...
"I love you Antoinette. You are my daughter no matter what." Althea said.
"No Althea, you don't love me or you would never have done those things to me." Skye shot back.
"But it was hard to raise a child by myself!" Althea exclaimed.
"You were not alone! You had Aunt Francess and grandmother...not that they were any better."
Their conversation ended on that note, and pretty soon, Althea leftPpine Valley--for good, Skye and Delaney hoped.

Chapter 5

"Delaney I'm going to see if they fixed our jet," said William. He kissed her on the cheek and walked away.
'What happend with you guys? He didn't find out about...you know?" Skye asked.
"No that would not be good, though I miss her everyday and I hope that one day we can be together," Delaney replied.
"Then what happend?"
"Willam cheat on me. I think Mama was right. Men are nothing but touble, and hurt you."
"How did you find out?"
"I hired a P.I to find him...Anyway how are you doing with Althea being alive?"
"I'm fine."
"Skye you're hiding something. I know you, we grew up together. Now start talking!"
Skye sighed. "Fine. There is a big part of me that wish she stayed dead and a part that wants to get to know her...Maybe she did change. I did so maybe she can."
"I don't think so Skye."
"Why not, you always said that everyone has a nice side."
"Yes I did...I wondering if Nanny knows about Althea?"
"I don't know."
"Skye are you seeing anyone?"
"I just broke up with someone."
"Why what happened?"
Skye whispered her secret in Delaney's ear.
"Skye that's wonderful!" Delaney exclaimed. "It will be fine."
"I'm not sure if I can do that." Skye replied.
"I was afraid of it too but with Willam's help I over came it....I think I will go to Port Charles with you."
"All right."
"We'll leave tommorrow if the Jet is fixed. I 'll meet you at the pine Valley Hotel."
"Fine." Delaney left.
At the Chandler manson Adam was in the living room talking to Barry about business when he saw Skye. "Hi Skye."
"Hi Dad."
"Barry how just was on his way out. Skye how are you doing?"
"All right I guess. How am I suppose to feel? My mother who was nothing but mean to me is alive and now all the sercets that I have kept hidden are going to come out and I have no control over it!!"
"Skye it's all right to feel that way."
"Thanks Dad. I'm going back to Port Charles."
"You can stay here if you want. This house will always be your home." "Thanks dad."
They hugged. "Before I leave I want you to meet my cousin Delaney. She's aunt Frances's daughter, we grew up together." Skye said.
"I didn't know that Frances had a daughter."
"Yes she did. The two of us together caused a lot of touble."
Just then Stuart came in. "Skye I didn't know you are here!"
"Uncle Stuart!!"
They hugged.
"I missed you Skye! How are you doing?"
"All right...I wish I was still a Chandler so I could be your niece."
"You will always be my niece. Blood doesn't always have to make family."
"Thanks Uncle Stuart. I'm going to pick up someone, we are leaving early."
"We?"
"My cousin is here and she's going to Port Charles with me. My brother was here too but left all ready."
