It is morning at the Quartermaine mansion. The family starts to gather in the den for breakfast. Ethan, Maya and Edward are sitting at the table drinking coffee and eating muffins. Monica is sitting at the desk looking at her date book. Tracy is sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee in her hand. Luke enters the room; he greets the family and sits beside Tracy on the couch.

"Good morning wife, again" Luke says as he gives Tracy a kiss on the cheek.

"Good morning husband, again" Tracy says as a smile forms on her lips as she thinks about what she and Luke were doing a mere hour ago when they first greeted each other.

"You look well rested wife; did you sleep good last night?" Luke said as he was taking a sip of his wife's coffee.

"I slept just fine, but I think the amazing massage that I received this morning was really what relaxed me followed by you know." Tracy said seductively as she kissed her husband.

"Will you two get a room? Seriously" Maya said disgustedly.

"Here, here. Ever since you guys got married for real you can't keep you hands off of each other. I'm about to lose my breakfast." Ethan said as he was becoming sick to his stomach.

"I happen to be in love with my wife. And if you don't like it you can find somewhere else to eat." Luke said as he went back to kissing Tracy.

"Listen you reprobate, this is my house and if you think I am going to leave just because you said too, you have another thing coming. If anybody should leave it should be you." Edward said angrily.

"Actually Edward this is my house, but your right. You two want to continue your public display of affection, do it somewhere else!" Monica said throwing her two cents in.

"Ok, ok you win. I have a meeting at ELQ I have to be at anyway." Tracy said as she was getting up to leave.

"I'll walk you out" Luke said as he followed her out into the foyer.

Luke and Tracy head into the foyer. Tracy gets her coat out of the closet and Luke takes it from her hands to put it on her. They are standing in front of the door holding each other for just a little while longer before she has to leave.

"So what are your plans for the day husband?" Tracy asks as she is playing with one of the buttons on his shirt.

"I have to go into the city for a meeting with one of the vendors for the Haunted Star. I will be back by this evening." Luke responded as he was placing kisses along Tracy's neck.

"Well I have a lot of work to do at ELQ, so how about I meet you at the star around nine tonight. Will you be back by then?" Tracy asked as she swayed in her husband's arms.

"I will be back before that, but I will be eagerly awaiting your arrival. Luke said in between kisses on his wife's lips. He just couldn't seem to get enough of her. And the same was true for Tracy.

"Sweetheart, I really do have to get going or I am going to be late. I will see you later tonight, and then we can pick up where we left off ok." Tracy said as she was trying to separate herself from her husband. This was always the difficult part for her, having to leave her husband when was being affectionate towards her. She wished she was in the position to go back up stairs to their room and make love to him all day long.

"Alright baby I will let you go, but first I want to tell that I love you." Luke said as he started into the eyes of the woman that he loves more than life itself.

"I love you too Luke." Tracy replied as they shared one final kiss. After the kiss came to an unwanted end Tracy gave her husband a wink and headed out the door.

Luke stood staring at the door deep in thought. He was thinking about how glad he was that he went through with the wedding. He really is the luckiest man in the world. As he came back to reality he went up stairs to their bedroom to get ready for the day ahead of him. The sooner he got done with his meeting the sooner he could see his wife again.

At about nine thirty that night Tracy arrive at the Haunted Star. She got held up at work and was late. She was pleased when she entered the casino that the place was fairly busy. As she headed for the bar she surveyed the room for her husband, but he was nowhere in sight. Once she reached the bar she was greeted by her youngest stepson.

"Hello step mum" Ethan said with a grin on his face as he poured Tracy a martini.

"Hello step son. Glad to see we are actually open tonight. This is good, thank you." She said as she sipped the martini.

"Well when I got here Luke wasn't around so I decided to open the place myself. I have got to earn a living you know." Ethan said making as he was making a drink for a customer.

"Thank you for that. I will make sure you are compensated for your efforts. Where is that husband of mine now? Is he back in the office?" Tracy asked as she got off her bar stole and headed towards the back office.

"He's not here. He never showed up." Ethan stated plainly

"What he's not here. I was supposed to meet him at nine, but I was late because I got caught up at work. Are you sure? Maybe you just didn't see him." Tracy said slightly panicked.

"I'm sure he is not here. I had to go into the office a couple of times and it was empty. He is probably caught up in traffic or something. Wasn't he supposed to go into the city today for a meeting?" Ethan suggested trying to calm her worries.

"I suppose your right. It can take an hour to travel 3 blocks in New York City traffic. When he come in tell him I am in the office doing some work ok." Tracy told her stepson.

About an hour and half later it was eleven o'clock and still no sign of Luke. Tracy was starting to get really worried. She has gotten past the fear that her husband would take off without telling her. They made a deal not long after they were married that she would respect the fact that he needs to go away from time to time but he had to give her notice and say good bye before he left. She truly believed that he would honor their deal. She finally trusts his love for her.

As she heard the ringing of her cell phone she got this indescribable felling in the pit of her stomach. It was a combination of terror and panic. As she retrieved her phone from her purse she looked at the caller id to see who was calling her. When she saw Lucky's name on the screen she knew that something terrible has happened.

"Lucky what's happened?" Tracy answered the phone.

"Tracy, there's been an accident. It's Dad." Lucky says somber.
