Epilogue
Lucky
and Nikolas nearly collide into each other as they rush to share the news with
each other.
“I have a boy!” Nikolas jumped up and
down with excitement.
“Twins! A boy and a girl!” Lucky grinned as Nikolas’s eyes grew wide with
surprise.
“Did you just say twins?”
Lucky nodded. “Believe me, I’m as surprised as you are.”
“Wow.
That means I’ll have to call and set up another trust fund,” Nikolas
stroked his chin thoughtfully.
“What?”
“Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Gia and I discussed it and we decided to
start up a trust fund for collage. If
they don’t want to go to collage, that’s fine too, but they’ll have to wait
until they’re twenty-one to receive the money.”
“Nikolas…I…I don’t know what to say,”
Lucky stammered. “Thank you…from all
four of us.”
“Hey, we’re family. That’s what family does for one another.”
“Nikolas!” Gia called. “We need you! Marcus Lucky Cassadine wants his daddy!”
“Coming!” Nikolas grinned. He couldn’t help but laugh at the shocked
expression on Lucky’s face. “Don’t look
so shocked man.”
“You better get in there,” Lucky
laughed.
“Later bro,” Nikolas disappeared back
the way he had come.
Lucky returned to Elizabeth to find
her holding a baby in each arm.
“There’s daddy,” She cooed to the
sleeping twins. “So did you see
Nikolas?”
Lucky nodded. “A baby boy. Marcus Lucky Cassadine.”
Elizabeth’s eyes widened in
shock. “What did he say when you told
him about Audrey Ruby and Jonathan Nikolas Spencer?”
“I didn’t get a chance to tell
him. Oh get this, he also started a
trust fund for the twins.”
“He didn’t have to do that.”
“He wanted to. He feels like it’s his way of making up for
Helena.”
“Lucky…whatever happened to her
body? It’s like she disappeared into
thin air.”
“Well dad said Sonny had her
cremated. He stood there and
watched. They both wanted to make sure
she was good and dead this time.”
Elizabeth shivered. “Well I’m glad she’s gone for good. After all she’s done to us…after what she
did to Gram…”
“If it wasn’t for you, I’d still be
her prisoner right now. You gave me the
strength to beat her. I love you so
much for that Elizabeth. I love you for
that and more.”
“I promise to always be here for you
Lucky. For you and our children,”
Elizabeth smiled. “I love you so much.”
“I’ll always be here for you too
sweetie. I promise.”
Taking a baby in one arm and Elizabeth
in another, Lucky leaned back against the headboard. Finally their dreams were coming true. They were free of Helena at last. Life on the run was no longer necessary. They could now raise their children I the
love and security of family. The future
was bright and full of dreams that could never be broken.
