This is EXACTLY why we don't want aGF4, there is NO Vincent's son, we want this to end all our expectation, not leave us with a GF5.
I like the idea of the Lost Years!
We could have:
Genco Olive Oil- Vito, Genco, Clemenza, Tessio, Roth, and Pentangelli, plus Tommasino and Altobello in Sicily.
Roth meets Ola, and Moe Greene in Havana. Moe builds a city. Vito and Roth use it to run Molasses from Havana to Canada.
12 year old sonny meets Tom hagen. Vito adopts Tom. According to the Novel, Vito is Godfather to Signora Colombo's child. Enter Johnny Fontane.
Roth leaves GOO, and goes into business full-time with Ola, and Greene, and helps get Batista into office in 1930s.
Sonny meets Pauli Gatto. Vito runs into problems with the irish Mafia wanted to take over Little italy.
Vito hires Luca to take care of bandleader.

These 3 are minor characters in this era.

This starts the Tattaglia vs. Corleone rivalry.

Vito/Luca/Sonny's revenge on the irish.

Fredo makes trips to Cuba, works rackets with his new friends. fredo froms friendship that later leads to Mike being sold out in Gf2.
Fontane's problems with Margot Ashton. Fredo meets Deanna Dunn. Segal and Lucy.
While in Vegas, Lucy Mancini gives birth to Vincent Mancini. Cut to: 1975
Don: Mike
Consigliere: Tom
Capo: Neri
Cicci takes over GOO and New York Family after pentangelli. Dying Cicci gives business to Zasa.
5 Families: Zasa, Volpe, Romano, Cuneo, Parisi
Vincent becomes Capo under Zasa.
Dying Tom is assured by Mike that Andrew will be Legit and is ordained shortly after Tom's death.
Merle Johnson has recently divorced Connie.
Anthony and Mary live in NH with Kay, and Micheal Douglas.
Mike, Neri, and Connie decide to go legit.
Mike starts to creep his way into the Vatican, later eceiving papal honors, GF3.
B.J. becomes Mike's lawyer.
Zasa goes around saying "fu** Micheal Corleone", Vincent runs his own drug-ring inprivate without Zasa's knowledge. Zasa find sout hence the Zasa, Vincent, Mike meeting in GF3.
Zasa wipes out 5 families in Atlantic City.
Vincent offs Zasa. Takes over New York, Dominic Abbandando take sover GOO.
Tommasino dies. Vincent becomes Don.
Vincent and Mary's romance. Mary dies. Vincent finds and kills Lupo.
Calo takes over for Tommasino. Micheal moves to Tommasino's Villa with Anthony. Anthony becomes regular at Sicilian opera. Mike fades away from the mafia. Mike becomes Calo's advisor. Mike is sole-owner of Immobilaire.
Vincent discovers mary was pregnant when she was killed. Vincent takes over back in New York. Works Drug-ring. Dying Cicci disapproves, and orders a hit on vince, it fails. Vincent has Cicci offed. Dominic Abbandando becomes Vincent's partner. There is only ONE rival family. Some of Vincent's peole are killed, some of rivals are killed.
Take it from there.
Vincent can have a son, but this son DOES NOT become Don. Because movie ENDS in 1997 with Micheal's death, and Vincent's imprisonment/death/legitimacy.
Throw in Clemenza and the Rosats in the 50's Pentangelli takes over.
There you go.
