The rain beat steadily against the window, reminding Emily again of her argument with Lucky earlier that evening. Even now, in the safe haven of her bedroom, she felt a helpless rage at her own thoughtless actions. The night had started innocently enough. Lucky had insisted on going out for her birthday, a rare gift for her on the special day. With Lucky's limited income, they usually spent special occasions alone at his apartment or, worse yet, at the Quartermaine mansion. However, this time, thanks to a generous loan from Nikolas, they had been able to celebrate her birthday in style. At least, they were planning on it. When Lucky pulled up to the Port Charles Grill the couple something they never expected to find. A sign, hanging on a thin strip of tape from the center of the fine glass door, announced the closure of the restaurant by the health department. "Unbelievable," Lucky had muttered with a frown. "Can't your family ever get anything right?" "My family?" Emily responded, somewhat bitterly. "What the hell is that supposed to mean? It's the employees, not the owners." "What makes you think that?" "Lucky, my family hardly steps foot into this building. And when they do, it's as customers. I don't think Grandfather has even seen anything of the kitchen except for the door. From the outside," she added. "Oh please, Em. Stop thinking up excuses." "Excuse me?" "You don't want to admit you're family isn't perfect. My family's at least as screwed up as yours, but at least I have the guts to admit it." "I thought this was supposed to be a date." "It is." "Since when does the guy treat his date like a piece of dirt." "Since the guy's date started acting like a snot-nosed brat." Emily turned away from her boyfriend, thoroughly disgusted. This was his treat to her for her birthday? Her disbelief was soon overmatched by her anger. "Hey!" she cried after a moment. "This was your stupid idea in the first place. I suggested that we stay at your place, remember? But no, you insisted on wasting your brother's money at the first opportunity." "I wanted to do something nice for you Em!" "All you're doing is arguing with me!" "Well, what do you think you're doing?" The couple stood there, looking at each other sheepishly. Finally, Lucky shook his head and extended a hand to his girlfriend. "Still friends?" he asked almost shyly. "I guess," Emily responded with a laugh. "But come on, hurry up. It looks like it might rain tonight." "I hope not. I'd hate to see your dress get ruined." They ran to the car, laughing the entire way. When safely inside, Lucky turned again to Emily. "Did I tell you how fabulous you look?" "Only a thousand times." "I meant it." "I know, Lucky. Thank you." Emily hid her face as she tried to cover the rosy blush settling into her cheeks. "How long have we been together now?" Lucky asked. "Two years." "That long?" "Yeah. Remember, you asked me out a week after Liz moved back to Colorado. I never dreamed that it'd last this long. To tell you the truth, I didn't think it'd last at all. I figured you only asked me out to try to get over your feelings for Liz. You did love her after all." "Not like I love you." "Lucky!" "Happy twentieth birthday, sweetie," Lucky said softly, and leaned over to kiss her. As their lips met, Emily felt a rush of excitement. She pulled away, a slight tremor rocking her body. "Em�" "No, Lucky, don't," Emily said quietly. "I'm sorry. I just don't want to spoil�" "Spoil what?" Lucky asked. "You won't spoil anything Em. I just want to be close to you." "I know what you want Lucky!" Emily blushed again, and lowered her voice. "I just don't want to disappoint you." She looked up slowly at Lucky, and saw exactly what she was expecting. "If I do anything with you�anything�I'll just ruin it." "What's that supposed to mean?" Try as she might, Emily could not keep the scarlet from rising into her face. It seemed her ears just might burst, she was so hot. "I'm a virgin," she whispered, face flaming. "So?" "So, Lucky?" Emily asked incredulously. "I'm twenty years old, and you're my first boyfriend. Not to mention my first experience. Except for you, I've only kissed one guy, And Nikolas didn't even want me to do that! I just wanted to catch him off guard so he couldn't stop me from doing it!" "You kissed Nikolas? Nikolas Cassadine? God, Emily, I knew you were desperate, but I didn't think you'd stoop that low." "Now what is that supposed to mean?" "Oh come on, Emily, you've told me a thousand times that was a dark time for you. I'm not saying anything to you that you haven't already told me a million times." "I thought it was a thousand times! Anyway, I was talking about Nikolas. After all this time and effort that you two have put into being friends, is this all it comes to? You insult him behind his back instead of to his face. I thought you were a little more mature than that, Lucky." "Obviously I'm not." "Obviously. Look, can I finish what I was saying please? I can't say a whole sentence without you interrupting me." "Okay," Lucky said sullenly sinking back into his seat. "I'm sorry. Go ahead." "Well�I just don't feel comfortable being with you like that Lucky." "Why not?" "I heard about you and Liz." "Heard about us?" "I know you're experienced Lucky. I haven't even gotten past the first stage, Lucky, and from what I've heard, you've gone all the way." Lucky sank his face in his hands, shaking his head furiously. He turned to Emily, his face crimson with rage. "Where are you hearing all of this Emily? It seems you know about my life than even I do." "Lucky, I didn't mean�" "I know what you meant. I don't particularly want to hear about it either." "I only mean that�" "Just can it Emily! You can go ahead and keep your sweet innocent little reputation and fantasize all you want about my supposed sexual experiences, but I don't want any part of it. Hey, maybe if you butter him up really good, your grandfather will explain an orgasm to you. Chances are, you'll be lucky enough to send him into a cardiac arrest, and you can live at home with your parents for the rest of your life!" That was when Lucky had thrown open the door to the car and, tears of humiliation and anger sliding down his face. Emily had run after him, shouting has name, but to no avail. Finally, she'd turned back to the car, chiding herself repeatedly. As she turned the ignition in Lucky's car, the rain began to lightly fall. Emily shook herself back to reality. Blinking, she glanced around the room, hoping silently that the phone would ring. Lucky was bound to call sometime, if, for nothing else, to ask about his car. Emily sighed and placed her hand on the receiver, hoping the contact with her skin would speed up the process. When half an hour passed, and Lucky still had not called, Emily threw on her coat and ran down the stairs. It seemed the only way to win Lucky back would be to humble herself and take the first step to apologize. She made it at last to the front door and threw it open excitedly. To her surprise, Lucky was waiting on the porch for her. He was soaked. "Oh my god, Lucky. Come in! You're soaked. You probably have pneumonia, or worse, hypothermia. It's freezing out there!" "I'm not sick, Em. At least, not like that." "Do you want to talk about it?" Emily asked once Lucky had been safely ushered inside. "Why? You already know what I'm going to say." "I do not." "I'm sorry Emily." "You have nothing to be sorry for," Emily insisted. "Yes I do. I shouldn't have run out on you like that. You didn't mean anything by what you said. You were only trying to make the best of a bad situation. A situation that I put you in. I'm so sorry for that, Em. That's how I lost Elizabeth. I should've known that was the way to lose you, too." "What are you talking about, Lucky?" She studied him shortly, then realized this was not the right approach. "Never mind," she said quickly. "Now, will you come upstairs with me? You have to take a shower and get out of those wet clothes. I don't want to be responsible for you catching pneumonia. I think we can find something in Jason's old room." Lucky followed his girlfriend upstairs, his head hung. Emily stopped at the top of the stairs, and, after only a cursory glance at Lucky, knew that everything was alright between them. Shaking her head, she realized that, despite the bitter words and betrayed emotions, love had won again. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| I'll be Home for Christmas | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lucky Spencer slammed the door shut of his 1998 Volkswagen beetle. He walked out of the garage | and over to building 1 of Prairies End in the Horizons in Rock Creek. There was a light snow on the ground and the village was decorated for the holidays. The Holiday�s made him think of everything he had left in Port Charles, everything he had and never realized he had it. He walked up the steps to his apartment. When he went inside he could see the light blinking on his answering machine. He pressed the play button and waited for the message to play. Machine: Lucky, it�s me Lulu. Please say your coming home for Christmas. You have to, Nikolas and Emily are getting married New Years eve. You have to be here he�s our brother. Bye. Lucky walked over to the couch and sunk down. The thought of Nikolas and Emily getting married was not something Lucky wanted to think about. He hadn�t realized how much he cared for Emily until he moved out to Colorado. He was trying with all he had to resist the urge to run back to Port Charles and tell Emily how he really felt about her. Not that it would really change anything. Yet if Lulu left one more of these messages on his machine he may just have to catch the next flight out of Denver International Airport and go home. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Emily looked out along the vast grounds of the Quartermaine Estate. In only three weeks she would be living on Spoon Island with Nikolas. She did love him but he wasn�t her one great love. Her one great love was one that never happened. She walked over to the radio and turned it on. After a few moments the room filled with the sounds of Christmas songs. Emily: Things could have been different if I had made it in time. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Three years earlier: Lucky, Elizabeth, and Emily walk off the stage. Nikolas shows up and hands each of the girls a white rose. Lucky looks at the exchange between his brother and his two best-friends. He looks at Emily in Her Green cap and gown. Her hair down and sitting on her shoulders. He can�t help but smile as he looks at her. Emily looks up from the rose and she and Lucky make eye contact. She quickly turns back to look at Nikolas. Lucky: I guess this is good bye. I�m leaving for Colorado tonight. Emily: I guess it is. I�m gonna miss you. You�re the best friend I�ve ever had. Liz: All of us are gonna miss you Spencer. Nikolas: All of us. Nikolas and Lucky hug, then Lucky gives Liz a tight squeeze. He stands in front of Emily and looks in to her eyes. He doesn�t want to just hug her, he wants to pull her into his arms and kiss her deeply, and passionately on the lips. He surpressed those feelings and gave her a quick hug. He pulled away and started to walk away, hoping with all her heart that Emily would know what he was feeling and call him back. When Lucky had hugged Emily she had prayed with every single fiber of her being that he would kiss her. He didn�t though and it took everything she had not to pull him to her and kiss him. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air There's a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle You'll hear Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them sing Soon it will be Christmas day ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky looked out his large picture window in his condo. Only a week until Christmas, then after that New Years eve would just be too close for him to bear. How much he wanted to go home, but he knew if he did he would tell Emily how he felt about her, how much he loved her, and how it was killing him not being with her. As Lucky stood there looking out the window watching the families with they�re children carrying boxes, and bags, trees, putting Lights around they�re small porches, his mind drifted. After several moments of not knowing what was going on around him, his train of thought was broken by the phone ringing. Lucky went over and picked it up. Lucky: Hello?�Lulu�Lu�But Lu�.I�ll call you later about this alright? Okay, bye. Lucky hung up the phone. He shook his head and smiled. Lucky: Well baby sister, you�re getting your wish. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Emily sighed as she walked back into the mansion with her arms filled with boxes and bags. Holiday shopping and planning a wedding was keeping her very busy. With only a week till Christmas and a short time after that before the wedding she�d be running around like a chicken with her head cut off. As Emily climbed up the stairs she got a chill up her spine. She could tell something, in only a matter of a few days would change her life forever. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Graduation Night: Emily drives through the traffic of the Port Charles airport. She has to get there. She tells herself. She stops the car and gets out. She runs to the terminal, as fast as she can. She sees Lucky boarding. Emily: Lucky! Lucky! He doesn�t hear her. She sees him step on the plane. He looks back, as if he sense�s she�s there but not really sure. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ I'll be home for Christmas; You can plan on one. Please have snow and mistletoe And presents on the tree. Christmas Eve will find me Where the love-light gleams. I'll be home for Christmas ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Three day�s before Christmas Lucky Spencer, parked the rental car in front of his parents home. He stepped out of the car and into the slushy, snow. He slammed the door shut, and Went around to the trunk. He took out two suitcases, and a black shoulder bag with the CU symbol on it. He slammed the trunk closed and started up the path to the house. The front door opened and Laura stepped out, wrapping a chocolate brown sweater around her. She hadn�t come out side expecting to see Lucky. She still hadn�t seen him, she was looking in the other direction, as though looking for someone else. Which was what she was doing. She turned her head towards the path as she was about to go back inside and she saw him. Laura: (whispers) Lucky? After a moment she knows this isn�t a dream. Laura: Luke! Lulu! Come out here, quickly! Luke and Lulu emerge from the house as Laura does her best to run to her son. Luke and Lulu rush over to the stairs, as Laura hugs Lucky and leads him there. Laura: Lucky, your back! I didn�t think we would see you again. Lucky: Well after about 20 million messages on my machine, I had to come home. (turns to Lulu) Hey shortcake. Lulu: (grabs Lucky�s leg) Lucky you came, you really came! Are you going to stay for Nik and Em�s wedding. Lucky: We�ll see okay shortcake. Lulu: Okay. Luke: Cowboy, come on in. You should have told us you were coming. Lucky: And ruin the surprise? Never, not for shortcake. Luke: Defiantly a Spencer. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Emily walked down the stairs of the Quartermaine mansion, she was dressed in a pair of jeans, a white turtle-neck shirt and a red sweater. She was wearing silver hoop earrings. Nikolas is standing at the bottom of the stairs wearing a pair of dress pants, and a white dress shirt. The closer she got to him the happier she was. Emily: Hey you. (wraps her arms around his neck) How are you love? Nikolas: (pulls Em closer) I missed you hon. (kisses her and pulls away) ready to go? Emily: I guess so. Promise not to get in a fight with Luke okay? Nikolas: I promise. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky on the plane: Lucky looks out the plane, he�s surpressing the urge to stand up and run off. He can�t though. He can�t allow himself to be hurt by getting off and Emily not being there. He sits back in the seat and closes his eyes, wanting this moment to end. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ I'm dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the treetops glisten and children listen To hear sleigh bells in the snow I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky walked down the stairs into the living room of the Spencer house, Laura was setting out some Eggnog. Lucky: Expecting company? Laura: Yes, we are. Nikolas and Emily are coming over. Lucky: Emily? Laura: Yes, Emily. She will be family in only a matter of days. Lucky: Mom, she�s already family. She does know the Spencer rules for survival. Laura: Of course honey. Laura walked over to the stereo and took out a CD. She put it in and pressed play. After a few moments the room filled with the sounds of harps, piano�s, and bells. Lulu came bounding in the room. Lulu: Are they here yet? Laura: Not yet sweetie. Lulu: (saddened) okay. Lucky: What having me home isn�t good enough for you? What were all those messages on my machine about then? Lulu: It�s not that Lucky. It�s just that well, Nikolas and Emily are always so much fun. Lucky: Oh. The doorbell rang and Lulu ran to the door. Lucky had turned to face the fireplace. When Lulu opened the door her face got filled with Joy. She opened to door wider to let Nikolas and Emily in. As they stepped in, they started to take of they�re gloves, and hats. As Emily took off her scarf she looked up and saw Lucky with his back to her. Her heart stopped, for only a second. She couldn�t believe it he was back, he had come home. Nikolas looked up at Emily. Nikolas: Em, what is it? Emily: (whispers) look. Nikolas: (looks towards Lucky) Lucky?! Lucky turns and sees Nikolas and Emily. Lucky: Hey! Emily: Your, your back. Lucky: Yeah, I couldn�t miss my best friend and my brother getting married now could I? Nikolas: (walks over to Lucky) Of course you couldn�t. Emily: So you�ll be here for the wedding? Nikolas: he has to be. Lucky: Why? Nikolas: (smiles) Will you be my best-man? Lucky, couldn�t help but think if he excepted this he would lose everything. But then again, did he really have anything to lose? All he had, were school, and a dinky little apartment in Superior. Nothing really, nothing that gave him a reason to live, that is except for his love for Emily. Lucky: (smiles) Of course. Emily: So Spencer, what brought you back home? Lucky: A little Christmas Elf, who�s been leaving messages on my machine since the two of you set the date. Emily: Oh, well�I�m glad you�re here. Lucky: I�m glad to be here. Lucky and Emily walk over to the other side of the room. Neither aware that there is Mistletoe hanging right above there heads when they stand still. Lulu sitting on the couch looks over at them and starts to giggle. Lulu: You have to kiss her! Lucky and Emily look over at Lulu. Lucky: (confused) What? Why? Lulu: (points to the mistletoe) look dopey. Emily: (looks up) It is a tradition, just a simple kiss. Emily�s stomach became filled with butterflies, she thought she had gotten over him. Now he was back and stirring up all these feelings she had long ago hidden. Lucky put his hands on her shoulder, their eyes locked. Lucky could feel a pit in his stomach, he wanted so much to pull her into his arms and kiss her deeply, and passionately on the lips. How much he needed to kiss her just once. He held back though and kissed her lightly on the cheek. He pulled away and smiled at Emily. Then he turned to Lulu. Lucky: Happy shortcake? Lulu: As long as you uphold tradition. Lucky: Good, I think I�m gonna go to my room for a bit. I�m wiped out from the time change. Emily: Night Lucky. Lucky: Night Em. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky�s Dream: Lucky is standing on the docks, it�s lightly snowing. He�s looking out towards spoon island. Someone taps him on the shoulder and he turns around. It�s Emily, wearing jeans, a heavy purple winter coat, and a black hat. He looks at her mesmerized by her. With out words he pulls her to him. He runs his fingers through her dark hair, she lifts a finger and traces his eyes and jaw. Then he tilts her head back and kisses her on the lips. Within him he can feel the fire and passion. Suddenly she�s pulled away from him. He looks around and sees Nikolas. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Chapter 2: The Next morning Lucky wakes up and puts on a pair of Sweets. Lulu comes busting in, extremely hyper. Lucky: Shortcake, what are you doing? Lulu: Mommy and me are going to the Mall today! Do you wanna come? Lucky: Okay, give me a few minutes to get dressed ok? Lulu: (looks at the sweatshirt) What�s Centaurus? Lucky: My ex-roommate Leigh went there for high school. She gave me these before she transferred to a school in New Jersey. Lulu: Was she your girlfriend? Lucky: No, just a friend a good friend. What�s with all the questions? Lulu: Emily say�s I ask a lot of Questions because I�ve curious. Lucky: You talk to Emily a lot? Lulu: Since you went away, (lowers her head and looks at the floor) Emily told me once that she wishes she had gotten to you at the airport. I don�t know what she means by that but I think she means she wanted you to stay. Just like I did. Lucky: Shortcake come here. (he pulls her onto the bed next to him and hugs her) You know I only went away because CU at Boulder has the program I wanted. If PCU had it I never would have left. Lulu: I know. I�ll go tell Mommy, Aunt Bobbie, Lizzie and Emily your coming with us. Lulu ran out of the room before Lucky could stop her. She was back, she was here again. She wasn�t there for him though. She was there because she was marrying Nikolas in only a matter of days, she was family just like Liz was family. He sunk down on the bed and closed his eyes. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Laura, Emily, Bobbie and Lizzie were in the Spencer living room waiting for Lulu to return. She came bounding down the stairs. She runs to Emily and grabs her leg. Lulu: Guess who�s coming with us?! Emily: Who? Lulu: Lucky! Lizzie: Lucky�s back? Laura: Yeah, he just showed up last night. Gave us all a nice holiday surprise. Lizzie: Does Nikolas know? Emily: Yeah, we came over for dinner last night and he�he shocked us. He�s going to be the best man at the wedding. Emily�s stomach filled with butterflies. She had though all this ended so long ago, things were so different now, they couldn�t have the dream she wanted, which he could never want. Why would Lucky Spencer ever see Emily Quartermaine. Emily stood up and walked over to the window, and looked out. Lulu walked over to her. Lulu: Too bad your marrying Nikolas. Emily: Why would you say that? Lulu: Lucky likes you. Emily: Excuse me, Lulu why would you say that? Lulu: Because I saw the look in his eyes when I told him what you told me about the night he left. Emily: Lu, Lucky doesn�t like me that way. Besides I love Nikolas. Lulu: Emily, I�m seven years old and very observant as well as curious. I know Lucky and I know he loves you. Emily: Sure he does Shortcake. Lulu: You�ll see, he�ll tell you soon. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Emily and Lulu are walking around the mall, Lizzie and Bobbie had left to go to work and Laura got called away to the Ward house. Lucky was off somewhere alone. Emily and Lulu stopped in front of the Jewelry store and look at the pendants. Emily saw one, it was turquoise and as she looked at it she thought back to when she and Lucky ran away. Lulu looked up. Lulu: Which one do you like? Emily: (pointing to the pendant.) The turquoise one. Lulu: I like it. Someone puts their hands over Emily�s eyes and she jumps. She turns around and sees Lucky smiling. Emily: Lucky Spencer, you haven�t even been back one day and already you�ve tried to give me a heart attack twice. She hits him with her purse and Lulu smiles. Lucky: Sorry Em, but your so easy to scare. Emily: You better be. (looks at her watch) Shot! Lucky will you take Lulu home, I would but I�m running late for a meeting with the wedding planner. Lucky: Of course. Hey Shortcake. Lulu: Hey Lucky. Emily gives Lulu a hug. Lulu: He likes you and you like him. Emily: If you say so kiddo. Bye. Emily leaves and Lucky turns to Lulu. Lucky: So Shortcake, what were you and Emily looking at? Lulu: A Turquoise pendant. Lucky: Really? Who liked it you or Emily. Lulu: Emily loved it, she got this far away look on her face like she was thinking of something long ago. Lucky: Are you sure your only seven? Lulu: Yeah. Lucky: Think she would like it for Christmas? Lulu: Lucky, do you like Emily? Lucky: Why would you ask that? Lulu: Your in love with her. Lucky: What? Lulu: Last night you wanted to really kiss her didn�t you. Lucky: No Comment Lu. Lucky looks at the pendant deciding then he would get it for Emily. She may never know it but it would be his way of having some piece of him with her always. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lucky and Lulu walk into the Spencer house. Lucky has a dark Purple bag from the Jewelry store. As Lulu takes off her coat she gives her brother a look and smiles. Lucky notices this look and sighs. Lucky: What is it Lulu? Lulu: Lucky, you and Emily are so obvious! I mean gees, You love her she loves you! Gosh! Lucky: What makes you say Emily Loves me or that I love her? Lulu: The way she looks at you, the way she seems to glow when you�re around, the fact that she tried to stop you the night you left. You well, the way you look at her, the way you brighten up when she�s in the room, the fact that you bought that pendant for her, also the way your eyes connected last night before you kissed. Lucky: Your only Seven right? Lulu: Yeah. Lucky: Where do you hear things like that? Lulu: Lizzie, when ever she�s writing one of her stories. There usually about these lonely girls who fall in love with Princes. Lucky: Interesting� Lulu: So you gonna tell Em? Lucky: Tell Em what? Lulu: That you love her! Lucky: I don�t, just give it a rest already. Lulu: Fine, you don�t love her. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Laura was sitting at the kitchen table going over a list for Christmas Eve dinner. Lulu walked in, her face was filled with sadness. Laura looked up and quickly became concerned with her youngest child. Laura: Lulu, what�s wrong honey? Lulu: Lucky and Emily won�t admit they love each other. Laura: Excuse me, what on earth are you talking about. Lulu: (looks away) I can see it in there eyes, the way they act around each other, the fact that Emily tried to stop Lucky from leaving three years ago, The fact that Lucky bought Emily the turquoise pendant she was mesmerized by today. Laura: Lulu, that doesn�t mean anything. Lulu: Mommy, look at them next time there together you�ll see it. Laura: Lulu, do not go causing trouble. Nikolas and Emily will be getting married in only a matter of days. Lulu: But Mommy, Lucky loves Emily, and Emily loves Lucky. Laura: Please Lulu, this is nonsense! Lulu runs out of the kitchen and upstairs to her room. She closes the door behind her and leans against it. Lulu: Lucky and Emily will get together. You�ll see. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Nikolas sits on the edge of a bed in the Port Charles Hotel. He�s putting on his shoes. The door to the bathroom opens and a woman walks out wearing a bathrobe, with a towel around her hair. Nikolas: You know how much I love you right?(she nods) Lizzie, please understand why I have to marry Emily. Lizzie: Because of your Families, I know honey, I really do. Nikolas: Someday you and I can be out in the open. Lizzie: I don�t know if I can wait for that. Nikolas: Please, Elizabeth you�re the only woman that has ever made me feel this way. Lizzie: Nikolas, you�re the only man that has ever made me feel this way. Nikolas: (pulls out a box from his pants pocket) Elizabeth, I want you to have this. Lizzie: (takes the box from his hands, and opens it revealing the Cassadine Medallion) Nikolas�. Nikolas: Elizabeth, please I want you to have this. As far as I am concerned you are my wife. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Chapter 3: Later that evening Lucky is looking out his window. It�s snowing again. Something he�s used to. His mind is running wild with what Lulu has been telling him. Emily had tried to stop him. Emily had tried to tell him she loved him. If only he had trusted his sense�s and turned back that night. Yet he couldn�t fill his mind with what ifs, could he? He stood up and walked over to the bed. He picked up his cell phone from the nightstand and dialed a number. Lucky: Leigh, it�s me. Leigh James a 20 year old college student at Rutgers University. She�s sitting at a desk in a Dorm room. Her hair pulled back and she�s wearing a Centaurus High Sweatshirt. Her phone rings and she picks it up. Leigh: Hello? Lucky, what is it? What�s wrong? Lucky: I came home. Leigh: You�re in Port Charles? Lucky: Yeah. Leigh: Lucky, what is going on? Lucky: Emily�s marrying my brother. Leigh: Lucky what are you planning? Lucky: I don�t know, that�s why I called. Leigh: You have to tell her! You can�t go on living your life pretending your not in love with her. Lucky: I know but Leigh� Leigh: No buts Spencer. Tell her before the wedding. Lucky: What would I do with out you Leigh? Leigh: Suffer, have no idea what to do and not get that one push you need to fight for the woman you love. There�s something else on your mind what is it? Lucky: My little sister has read through me the thing is, she not only thinks I love Emily but that Emily loves me. Leigh: She must have a reason, did she tell you why? Lucky: She told me Emily tried to stop me at the airport the night I left. Leigh: You definitely have got to talk to her. Lucky: I know, I know. Leigh: Well get off the phone with me, drive to where ever she lives, but be careful of the ice. Then tell her, tell her you love her, take her in your arms and kiss her. Kiss her like she�s never been kissed before. Lucky: You�re a hopeless romantic! Leigh: That�s from all the soaps I watched in High School. Lucky: Talk to you later Leigh. Leigh: You can count on it Spencer! Lucky hung up the phone and grabbed his coat. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Emily looked out her window. Her mind was in over drive. She wasn�t thinking of Nikolas, the Holiday�s, or of the wedding. She was thinking of Lucky. She needed to clear her head, she needed to get away from all thoughts of Lucky. She grabbed her coat and left the mansion. Emily got in her car and drove to the catacombs. Ever since Graduation night, this had been where she came to think. This was where she felt that part of her wasn�t missing. She entered the darkened tunnels, she let out a laugh as she remembered when she and Lucky had run away and ended up in that cave. He had been so worried then but never again. Or at least he never let on to how worried he was. She heard footsteps behind her and she slowly turned around as her heart was pounding from the fear. Her eye�s saw the person�s feet first, the work boot�s then followed the form�s body up and saw a pair of Blue jeans then a dark Blue fleece and finally she saw who it was. She saw Lucky looking at her. Emily: Spencer, what are you doing here? Lucky: Weird thing, I was on my way to the Mansion to see you but found myself drawn here. Emily: Like some kind of a cosmic connection thing? Lucky: Exactly. There�s water dripping around Emily, a drop fell on her face and Lucky moved closer. He cupped her face in his hand and with his thumb wiped the drop away. Emily: (softly) Thanks Spencer. Lucky: (almost in a whisper) Welcome Quartermaine. Lucky looked into Emily�s eyes. His hand still on her face. Emily covered his hand with hers as her eyes filled with tears. She began crying, so afraid of her emotions and everything she felt. Lucky: Emily, what�s wrong? Emily: This. Lucky: Oh�. Lucky removes his hand, and turns away from Emily. Tears are building in his eyes. He wants to tell her, he needs to tell her. But he can�t. He turns back towards her and she�s gone. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Emily ran to her car, tears streaming down her face. She knew that if she had kissed him or he kissed her should would have given herself to him completely, and fully. She opened the door to the car and got in. She turned on the ignition and the Radio came on. And I'd give up forever to touch you Cause I know that you feel me somehow You're the closest thing to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later it's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything seems like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know your alive And I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I don't want the world to see me Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am I just want you to know who I am As she listened to the song her heart and soul ached. Not for Nikolas, but for Lucky. She now realized she didn�t love Nikolas. She never had loved anyone other then Lucky. Emily: (whispering) I love you Lucky. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Chapter 4: Lucky stood there beating himself up inside. He should have told her, but maybe she already knew. Maybe his little sister was right. Maybe Emily did love him. But how could he find out. How could he discover and prove that he and Emily were what was always meant to be. Lucky: I should have told her. I had a chance and I blew it! I can�t believe I did that! ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Lulu sat on her bed, she was trying to remember all the romantic words and phases Liz had used in the stories she had made up for her. She had two pieces of paper in front of her. She had a plan, she had a mission. She had to get Lucky and Emily together. She wrote each a note signing the others name. Tomorrow at the party at the hospital they would get them and the message to meet in the Chapel. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ The next afternoon: Emily was dressed in jeans, a white turtle-neck and a holiday sweater. As she and Elizabeth decorated the room. Lulu came in with Laura. Lulu: Emily! She ran towards Emily. Emily scooped her up. Emily: What is it kiddo. Lulu: (hands Emily the folded piece of paper)This is for you. Read it when your alone. Emily: (takes the paper) Okay�. Emily, Laura and Liz finish decorating and the party gets underway. Joe Scanlon is dressed up at Santa and Alan reads the Christmas story. Lucky comes in and Lulu slithers over to him. She takes out another folded piece of paper and hands it to him. About fifteen minutes later both Lucky and Emily read the note�s. Knowing that the hand writing is not of an adult they both become curious as to what young Lesley Lu is up to and follow the directions. A half hour after the party, Lucky and Emily both ventured down to the chapel. As Lucky enters no one is around. He walks to the front and sits in the front pew. A few moments later Emily comes in and sees him. Her heart is pounding, Emily: Lucky? Lucky: (turns) Emily, Lulu send you here? Emily: Yeah, you? Lucky: Yeah, I think I know what my baby sister is up to. Emily: What would that be? Lucky: Trying to set us up. Emily: (starts to walk towards him) Oh, she�s been up to that with you to? Lucky: You mean I�m not the only one she�s been trying to convince that you and I are in love. Emily: Not at all. It�s such a silly thought, I have no idea where she got it. Lucky: She mentioned something about graduation night. Emily: (pauses) She what? Lucky: (smiles) She has this idea that you tried to stop me from leaving that night. (looks down at his feet) Any idea where she got it? Emily: (sits down next to him) Yeah, I do. (turns to face him) I told her that graduation night I�I�drove to the airport and tried to find away to stop you. I called after you but you didn�t hear me. Lucky: (looks up) I did hear you, I thought�I thought it was just wishful thinking on my part. Emily: (surprised) What? Lucky: When I hugged you that afternoon, I wanted to pull you closer and kiss you, kiss you deeply, and passionately. Emily: (tears start to fall from her eyes) I wanted you to do that to. Lucky: Really? (wipes a tear away with his thumb.) What about the other night? Emily: I wanted you to wrap your arms around me, pull me close to you. So close that we couldn�t tell who�s heartbeat was who�s and for you to kiss me. Lucky: Em, I have to tell you some
