Lucky is standing in the door of the living room surveying the scene in front of him. He is at Wyndemere and sees Elizabeth holding Ava. Cameron is at her feet playing with Spencer. Nikolas is sitting close to her and they are sharing a secret smile. Lucky can’t believe it when it looks like Nikolas is leaning in for a kiss.

Lucky loudly clears his throat. “Good morning. Mom asked me to come talk to you. She is going to talk to the media today and she is worried about Lulu.” Lucky completely ignores Elizabeth.

Nikolas jumps up like someone lit a fire under him. Elizabeth blushes, but continues to sit down. “Is Lulu all right? How is Laura?”

“Laura is doing fine. She will be out of the hospital in a couple days. Why aren’t you there anyway?” Without waiting for an answer he continued, “As for Lulu she is very shaken up Nikolas. What do you expect?” He said scornfully. “Or are you too busy trying to get into my wife’s pants to even notice your sister?” Lucky throws a demeaning glance in Liz’s direction, “God Elizabeth, Emily was so right about you.”

Ava started to cry and Elizabeth stood up to walk around with her, cooing as she went. “Lucky, I just had a baby. Please, let me be. And leave Emily out of this”

“Emily has been my friend for a long time. You always came after me for betraying you when all this time you betrayed me as well. What gave you the right to judge me Elizabeth?” Lucky demanded.

“Ok, enough.” Nikolas said sternly. “The important thing is Lulu. Where is she?”

Lucky sighed, “You are right. Lulu is the priority here. She won’t leave the hospital. I have tried to get her out, but….”

Nikolas turned to Elizabeth, “Alison will be here soon. Will you be all right until then?”

Elizabeth nodded as Lucky shook his head at her. Nikolas and Lucky left together, leaving Elizabeth with the three children.

Brenda rolls over and kisses Sonny’s forearm. She was still a little stiff from her fall and stayed at Sonny’s that night. James was still asleep and she relished the quiet time with Sonny. She began to trail her fingers up and down his naked body. His body started to stir. Sonny was not yet fully awake but that didn’t stop Brenda. She gracefully straddled his body and eased herself slowly down onto his hard shaft. She slowly moved up and down, tightening her muscles around him. He started to respond by moving with her, still not fully awake. She raked her fingernails over his chest and followed them with her tongue. His eyes opened as he spontaneously came inside her.

“Damn Brenda, this is how I want to wake up every day!” Sonny mumbled. “Are you ok? You sleep ok? I know yesterday was rough on you.”

Brenda rolled off and he clasped his arms around her. “I am good. I am worried about the DNA test though. I know I shouldn’t be, but I am just afraid Ned is going to use something against me.”

“Like what?” Sonny kissed her shoulder.

“Like the time I was institutionalized because I thought everyone was after me because of you.” Brenda sighed. “He helped me get through that and I am afraid he will try to use that to prove that I am an unfit mother.”

Sonny tightened his arms around her, “Scott will use everything in his power to make sure that doesn’t happen. I pay him a lot of money to protect me and that includes you.”

James started to cry and Brenda stood up. Sonny admired her body as she put her bathrobe on. Brenda picked up James and sat on the bed. She reached into her bag for some food for him and started to feed him.

“Sonny!” Carly pushed open the door, “I hope you are dressed. Michael and Morgan are here so you can take them to the zoo today!” Carly stopped dead in her tracks as she caught sight of a post coital Sonny and Brenda. Waves of jealousy hit Carly like never before. “What the hell is going on here?”

Scott walked up the steps to the courthouse in search for Alexis. He knew she was in court today. He was hoping to catch her on a break. He slipped inside Courtroom 3 and waited for the Judge to call for a recess. After a half hour, the Judge recessed and Scott made his way up to Alexis’ table.

“Counselor.”

“Oh Scott.” Alexis took her glasses off, “What’s going on? Is everything ok?”

Scott looked at a frazzled Alexis, “Everything is fine Alexis. I haven’t heard anything. Why are you even here?”

Alexis sat in her chair, “I have a job I have to do. I know my daughter is out there and I don’t know what I can do. I have to focus on this or I will go crazy.”

“Understandable.” Scott remarked, looking around. “I was wondering Alexis if you, uh, needed any help with anything.”

“Like what?” Alexis said suspiciously.

Scott stepped closer, “Look Alexis I know you are under a lot of stress and I want to make sure you are taking care of yourself. I will look for Sam if you want me too. I will cook dinner for you.” Scott paused, “Ok, I will order dinner for you since I can’t cook. What I am trying to say is that I am here for you. Just say the word.”

Alexis softened and reached her hand out to grasp his, “I know and thanks.”

Luke stood next to Laura’s hospital bed. Laura was pale, but determined. “Luke, I am going to do this. I am going to prove to Helena that she cannot and will not take us Spencers down. Now Tiffany, I am ready.”

Luke stepped away as Tiffany stepped forward with her camera crew. Laura looked straight into the camera and spoke with a clear, calm and controlled voice.

“Good Afternoon Port Charles. This is your Mayor, Laura Spencer. I want to address some things that have happened in the last couple of days. On Election Night, my family was shot at. I was hit, my husband Luke was hit and my son Lucky was hit twice. I want to assure all of you that my family is fine. I also want to thank everyone for their well wishes and prayers. My family appreciates your good thoughts.

“The police force has formed a task force to get the woman who is behind the attempted murders of my family. The Task Force will be led by Former WSB Agent and Police Commissioner Robert Scorpio, a dear friend of my family. The woman who is the mastermind behind this is Helena Cassadine. I ask all of you if you see Helena Cassadine or Samantha McCall to please contact the Task Force. Call them at the number at the bottom of your screen. It will be completely anonymous.

“This message is for you Helena.” Laura’s eyes narrowed, “Whatever curse you think you have put on our family, think again. My husband, my daughter and my TWO sons are my family and you will never break us apart try as you may. We Spencers will always come out on top. Helena, you will NEVER get us down.”
