Background[]
Avery was conceived on the day of A.J. Quartermaine's funeral in April 2014. Ava slept with both Morgan and Sonny on the same day, leading there to be a question of paternity later on. In the end the paternity test confirmed that Sonny was the father.
Ava finds out she is pregnant off screen, but her pregnancy is revealed when Sonny tries to kill her on his island. She shows Sonny the positive test to prove to him it's the truth, but to be sure he has her get a blood test at General Hospital, which comes back positive.
When Morgan finds out about the baby; he asks Ava to have an abortion, but she refuses. During the pregnancy Ava missed a lot of appointments, experienced constant stress, and had multiple cases of horrible Braxton Hicks contractions.
Ava feels Avery kick on August 19, 2014. Ava also refuses to get a paternity test before the baby is born as there was a significant risk to the baby.
Sabrina Santiago, who thought she had lost her own child because of the Jerome mob, seeks revenge on Ava during her pregnancy. Ava almost suffered a miscarriage after Sabrina purposely gave Ava the wrong medication -- Misoprostol instead of Nifedipine.
Ava delayed taking the pills which helped, but experienced more pain after taking them later on. The pills also caused Ava to go into early labor, but Silas Clay came to their aid and he was able to stop it.
At one point her sister, Kiki Jerome was her guardian as well as her adoptive brother, Michael Corinthos.
On November 10, 2015; Ava was awarded sole custody of Avery after goading Sonny into threatening her (she recorded it) and Sonny was given visitation rights.
During The Nurses' Ball 2016; after months of trying to find something on Ava, Carly finds a tape of her and then-D.A. and Jerry Jacks' former accomplice Paul Hornsby and tries to use against Ava to get Avery back but Ava isn't fazed until Carly lets Paul know that she has it after the crime at the All Saints Chapel and the will reading of the late Helena Cassadine.
When Paul finds out he threatens to turn Ava into the police for killing Connie Falconeri (he has the recording). Ava finally relents and basically gives custody over to Sonny with an agreement that she can still see Avery.
In 2016; her brother Morgan was killed in a car bombing by her aunt Olivia Jerome.
As of July 14, 2017; Sonny has full physical and legal custody of Avery and Ava has no right to her anymore. It was also revealed that they had come to an agreement privately. That stayed until May 2018, where Ava blackmailed Sonny into giving her joint custody.
In 2018; her sister, Kiki was murdered by Ryan Chamberlain.
Through her father's marriage, she gained Carly Spencer as a stepmother (whom she affectionately also calls "Mama Carly") and a step-sister Josslyn Jacks.
After Sonny's presumed death in January 2021; Ava became the primary custodial parent and Avery moves into Wyndemere Castle with her mother and then-step-father Nikolas Cassadine. Both her parents have divorced their recent spouses, and she lives in three different locations - the castle, Greystone Manor, and Harborview Towers before Sonny was revealed to be alive.
Storylines[]
On April 19; Avery is with her mother Ava at Wyndemere Castle after her former step great-great uncle Victor stole the Haunted Star and took Spencer, Ace, Liesl, and Trina hostage leaving Avery and her mother Ava unharmed.
On May 30-31, Avery does not attend the will reading of ex-step great-great uncle Victor as her mother attends the will reading alone because she is with her father Sonny, a nanny, or a babysitter when that occurred since Avery never met her ex-step great-great uncle Victor at all.Health and Vitals[]
