“Thanks for the coffee. See ya!” Lucky called and headed out the door of Kelly’s . He almost knocked over Emily in the process. “Oh Emily, I didn’t see you, I am sorry.”

Emily smiled up at him. “It’s ok Lucky. You didn’t spill anything on me.” She paused, not really sure how to act. “Um, how is your Mom doing?”

Lucky sighed, “My father is going all vigilante going after Sam McCall and Helena Cassadine. I can’t go back to work full time yet and Lulu is all freaked out.” He sipped his coffee and gazed at her over the lid of the coffee. “Good news is that my mom is getting out of the hospital today.”

“Oh that’s good! I wanted to come see you, but it just seemed sorta awkward because of you know.” Emily’s voice trailed off.

“I know.” Lucky looked around, “Look, are you busy right now? Do you want to take a walk in the park? It’s a beautiful day, one of the best days of the spring so far.”

Emily glanced at her watch, “Sure, I am on second shift at the hospital so I don’t have to be there until three. Is something wrong?” Emily asked as they headed towards the park.

“Elizabeth and I are divorcing, so no, there is nothing wrong.” With that, Emily’s jaw dropped.

Sarah was walking towards the Nurses Station when she caught glimpse of AJ. She quickened her pace and called out to him. He turned, smiled and waited for her. “Hi Sarah. Have a moment?”

Sarah nuzzled up to him, “For you I have plenty of moments. What’s up? Here to see your father?”

“Yes. I don’t have any meetings right now so I thought I would come see my Dad. How is your day going?” AJ asked.

Sarah started to walk towards the group of couches by the elevators. “Good. I get out in an hour and am going to Metro Court to see if Carly is there. If she's not there, maybe tomorrow. Like I said yesterday, she was very hesitant with me at first. But I brought up the fact that I couldn’t stand Brenda and Robin and she was practically my best friend.” Sarah threw her hair over her shoulder. “She just told me some basic stuff about Brenda, stuff we already knew. Like how she went psycho and ended up in the mental ward when she was the face of Deception.”

AJ lowered his voice, “I know that if anyone can get anything out of Carly, it will be you. You are very persuasive.”

“That I am and I want to make you happy!” Sarah sing songed. “How about we go out to dinner tonight?”

“I think we can manage that.” AJ leaned down and captured his wife’s lips in a deep kiss.

Jason stood in the middle of the living room of Wyndemere waiting for Elizabeth. He didn’t get out of the police station until very late so he stayed the night at Wyndemere. Ava was asleep so he didn’t want to wake her. “Elizabeth!”

“I’m right here.” Elizabeth was carrying Ava and her diaper bag. “Jason I appreciate this.”

“It isn’t even an issue Elizabeth.” Jason flatly stated. “Until Sam is found and away from Helena, my child will not be here.” Jason looked at Nikolas. “My security is a hell of a lot better than yours and I can shoot a lot better than you.”

Nikolas put Spencer down in his playpen, “Jason, it’s ok.” Nikolas leaned down to Cameron’s eye level. “Hey buddy, you going to come visit me soon?”

“Yep!” Cameron grinned.

“Awesome! High five” Nikolas held his hand up so that Cameron could slap his hand. He then stood up and looked at Elizabeth.

“Um, Jason, do you mind bring Cameron out to the car so I can say goodbye to Nikolas?” Elizabeth said imploringly. "I won't be long."

“Two minutes.” Jason held up two fingers. He dropped his hand and grasped Cameron’s hand. “Let’s go Cameron. Mommy will be outside shortly.”

“Elizabeth, I don’t want you to go. What if Jason has guns that are easily accessible? Cameron could get his hands on one just like that?” Nikolas crossed the room. “Have you thought about that? Maybe you going there is a mistake.”

Elizabeth gazed into Nikolas’ eyes, “Nikolas, I know all this and Jason and I have talked about this. He has one gun in the place and it is locked up. There is no way that Cameron can get it.”

Nikolas stepped close to Elizabeth, “Do you want to go?”

Elizabeth swallowed hard and her heart started beating faster. “I think that for my children it is for the best.”

“That wasn’t the question Elizabeth.” Nikolas whispered.

For a long moment the two looked into each other’s eyes. Finally she whispered, “No.” Nikolas and Elizabeth lean towards each other and tenderly kiss. Nikolas pulls back and smiles. His hands capture the sides of her face as he kisses her over and over. Elizabeth matches him until Ava starts to cry. "Nikolas I have to go."

Jason walks in the room. “Elizabeth, your two minutes are up.” He said impatiently.

Elizabeth sighed, "Bye Nikolas.

Ric, holding Molly, knocked on the door to Alexis’ house. She looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks. In fact, she hadn’t looked this bad since she had the cancer. “Oh Molly, it’s so good to see you. Your sister just got home about fifteen minutes ago.”

Ric stood at the door. “Alexis, can I talk to you about something?”

Alexis nodded and opened the door wide to let him in. They both walked into the living room where Kristina was playing and Ric set Molly down. For a few moments, they watched the children play. “What’s up Ric?”

“I want to talk about Molly.” Ric started to say.

“I gathered as such but may I remind you of our custody agreement.” Alexis pointed out.

Ric expected her to say that, “Now I know what you are thinking and I am not going to use this to try to win custody of Molly. What I am actually thinking is this. And Alexis, think about it before you say no.”

Alexis dropped her head in her hands, “I feel like impending doom is coming. Go ahead Ric.”

“I think we can both agree that we want Molly and Kristina safe. I very much appreciated you calling me yesterday and having Molly stay with me.” Ric began saying. “Now until Sam and Helena are found”

“No! Molly is not coming to live with you!” Alexis jumped to her feet. “I want my daughters with me!”

“Alexis,” Ric calmly said, “I asked you to please listen. I am not issuing an ultimatum. I have a suggestion. You can say no and that will be ok.” Alexis sat back down and Ric said, “Now, why don’t I move in here until Sam and Helena are caught. I will sleep in the spare room. Just until they are caught.”

Alexis threw a sidelong glance at Ric. “Let me think about it. I will call you later. For now, I want to spend time with my kids.”

Ric stood up and walked towards the door. “Please, think about it. I bet Sonny would appreciate it too.”

“We’ll see.” Alexis closed the door behind him and let out a deep sigh. Then she started to cry.
