AN: I know that I am crazy for starting yet another story. But I have this one planned out and it is going to be a short one. I watched GH yesterday, and I was just so annoyed with everything that was going on with Sam(she honestly gets under my skin) that this came to mind and I had to write it. This takes place after Mondays (3-13-06) episode.

Part One

The sight of Alexis Lansing made her sick.

Sam could swear that the woman lying before her on the hospital bed, had entered her life just to make it a living hell. Sam couldn't remember a time since she met Alexis that the woman didn't find a way to ruin her life. It all started when Alexis had called Sam to the stand for Carly and Sonny's custody battle over the boys. The evil woman berated her on the stand, calling her a whore, letting the entire town know about her past as a prostitute. At the time, Sam was falling for Sonny, and for Alexis to bring up her past in front of the mobster had made Sam furious. She knew from that moment on that she hated the attorney.

But it wasn't until Alexis killed her child that Sam began to have murderous thoughts about the older woman.

She had screamed at Sam, practically forced her into labor which then caused her to lose her child. It didn't matter that Dr. Steven Webber assured them all that no matter what happened with Alexis, it was Sam's condition is what caused her child's death. But Sam knew better. Alexis was the reason her baby girl had died, which was ironic since Sam just found out that Alexis was her birthmother, making her the child's grandmother.

She had killed her own grandchild.

Alexis had sworn to Sam that she was in debt to her forever. But when the woman had the chance to prove her words, she backed out once again, choosing to be the selfish bitch Sam knew she was. Sam's brother Danny was dying from the virus and she had the chance to refuse the antidote which would then be given to Danny. Alexis had the chance to save Danny's life which wouldn't make up for Sam's baby's death, but it would lessen the hate Sam had for the older woman.

But she didn't do it.

Alexis took the antidote, Danny died, and then Sam was left with nothing.

She hated Alexis with every fiber of her being.

Her hands clenched at her sides with the need to strangle the woman who was lying unconscious before her on the hospital bed. It would be sweet victory for Sam to just wring the woman's neck, killing her. Her hands even inched up a bit in the process of taking Alexis's neck between her hands, but the beep of the heart monitor stopped her from going through with it.

There was no doubt that she was going to kill Alexis, the bitch deserved it, but she had to think about it first. She didn't want to get caught so she couldn't leave any evidence behind. There would be no doubt that if she strangled the woman, all evidence would point back to her.

Instead of giving into her urge to kill Alexis just yet, Sam continued to stare down at her with a look of hatred and murder. She couldn't believe that the woman who made her life a living hell was actually her mother.

Alexis was her birth mother and she gave her up for adoption. A bitter smile formed on Sam's lips at the thought. Here, lying before her, was the woman who claimed to be a loving mother. Every horrible thing she did to Sam she claimed it was because of her children. She killed Sam's baby because she needed Kristina to live, she killed Danny because she needed to be there for her girls when they grew up.

She wanted to be the perfect mother to her children, which Sam knew was a lie since she didn't even care about her first little girl twenty-five years ago.

Sam thought back to the moment that she let Alexis know who her long lost daughter was. Jason had warned her not to tell Alexis, he said there was no reason to bring Alexis into their lives more than she was. But Sam didn't care. She wanted to make Alexis pay. Sam was blinded by revenge and didn't care what Jason had told her. She was going to make sure that Alexis knew who her daughter was, and then Sam was going to return the favor and make Alexis's life a living hell.

A sadistic smile appeared on Sam's face. She just didn't think that she was going to be able to pay Alexis back so quickly.

Jason was busy with business making it was easy for Sam to leave the penthouse unnoticed. She had plans of going to Alexis's apartment and confronting her there, but she didn't have to go so far. Alexis was walking on the dock's, probably on her way to her children, when Sam caught up with her.

The encounter started off like any other. Sam berated the woman for defending Manny when he was on trial. Alexis tried to get away, but Sam wouldn't allow it. She made sure that her words were like a knife easing into Alexis very slowly. Alexis's tears didn't sway her. Her tears actually made Sam go further, sticking that knife in more and more.

She screamed at Alexis for killing her baby, letting a rapist free, killing her brother, and just about anything else horrible that happened in her life since she met the woman. Alexis was so distraught over Sam's words that she kept backing further and further away from her, which brought her closer and closer to the edge of the docks. Sam could tell that Alexis was having a panic attack by the way she clutched her chest and gasped for air, but Sam didn't care.

She was blinded by fury and wouldn't give up until she pushed that knife in all the way, and the only way to do it was to let Alexis know that she was her long lost daughter. For an entire minute Alexis didn't move once Sam told her, she just stood there motionless, not wanting to believe what Sam had said, and Sam took great pleasure in the shock she gave the woman.

And then, Alexis tried to take a step towards her, apologizing as tears streamed down her face, and that pissed Sam off more than anything. Full blown rage seeped through Sam's body and with a final shout; she planted her gloved hands over Alexis's chest and shoved the woman, telling her how much she hated her.

Alexis tried to get her balance, but instead of falling into the water, she slipped on the dock, landed on her arm at a very odd angle and then rolled into the water. Sam heard the crack of a bone and also saw Alexis hit her head against the wooden docks. When she fell in, Sam looked over the edge to see if the woman would resurface, begging her for her help. But the waters were calm, Alexis wasn't trying to save herself. She was knocked unconscious.

With that bit of information, a smile crossed Sam's face and she walked away without a backwards glance.

It wasn't until later that evening that Jason told her about Alexis's accident and how she was now at General Hospital, still unconscious. Sam acted neutral about the subject, but deep down she was fuming with anger. Alexis wasn't supposed to live, she should have drowned earlier.

Jason left the penthouse again on more business, and Sam ended up where she was now. Standing over Alexis's bed, whishing the woman would rot in hell for everything she had done.

Sam knew she didn't have much time left before Ric came back. He had been sitting by Alexis's side when she arrived, but when he received a call from the nanny telling him that he needed to come home and soothe Kristina's worries about her mother, Ric reluctantly left his wife's side, which gave Sam the perfect in to end the woman's miserable life.

She acted fast, and five minutes later Sam left Alexis's hospital room unnoticed.

Being a mother, a wife, and a nurse who seemed to be getting every other overnight shift for the past two weeks was really starting to wear Elizabeth down. If she wasn't working overnight, attending one patient after another, then she was at home trying to spend as much time with her son as she could. Cameron was growing up so fast and she didn't want to miss a single moment of it.

She was trying to make her life with Lucky and Cameron as perfect as she had imagined it could be, but with her working the night shifts and Lucky taking on extra shifts at the station to help with their finances, she was quickly learning that life would never be perfect. She hadn't spent more than an hour or two with Lucky each day and if she had time to, she would be missing him more than she could handle. But because she didn't even have time to sleep, she couldn't think too much of her husband unless she had a moments piece like she did at the moment.

It was so much easier when they first got back together. They spent so much time together and were more of a family then than they were now. They barely even saw each other unless Lucky had time to come to the hospital and share a quick meal with her. They even took Cameron out of the Hospital daycare to have a family meal. But recently, those surprise visits stopped.

Sighing, Elizabeth tried to push her thoughts aside. She honestly didn't have time to think about anything else. She only had a few more hours left of her shift and then she could go home, try to get some sleep and then start her routine all over again.

Elizabeth was on her way to the nurse's station when she passed by Alexis's room and decided to check on her. She remembered when Alexis came in earlier that night soaking wet and unconscious. The flighty attorney had been on the docks for a walk and fell into the murky waters. She was lucky that newlyweds Dillon and Georgie happened to walk by and notice her briefcase floating in the water. If the two of them hadn't found her, Alexis would most likely be dead.

Plucking the chart from the door before entering, Elizabeth walked in the room and towards her bed. Biting on her bottom lip, Elizabeth noticed how pale Alexis was. It looked like she was getting worse. She placed her hand on Alexis's forehead, but she didn't seem to have a fever. Elizabeth scanned through the chart before she checked her IV and monitor. Everything seemed to be normal but Elizabeth was going to find Dr. Patrick Drake anyway and voice her concerns.

Stepping out of the room, Elizabeth closed the door quietly behind her and hurriedly went to go find Patrick. Something wasn't sitting well with her in concern for Alexis and she wanted Patrick to check on the woman as soon as possible. As she made her way down the hall, she didn't see Ric as he made his way from the opposite end of the hall towards Alexis's room.

He saw Elizabeth leave his wife's room in a rush. He knew nothing was wrong because doctors weren't rushing towards his wife's room, making him think nothing of Elizabeth's hasty exit.

That was until he entered his wife's room, heard her monitors going off in alert, and saw her thrashing about on her bed.

At one-twenty-seven in the morning, Alexis Lansing, mother of Kristina and Molly, wife to Ric Lansing, was officially announced dead. Doctor's worked vigorously in an attempt to stabilize her. But no matter how many procedures they used, nothing worked.

Both the Drake's worked side by side trying to save her life, but in the end Alexis died. The cause of her death was unknown. Dr. Patrick Drake couldn't fathom how she ended up having a seizure. He knew that other than being unconscious and needing to stay in the hospital for at least a week, Alexis was fine. He made sure of it.

Her death wasn't caused by her fall; something else caused Alexis to die. He couldn't prove it, didn't know how he was going to, all he knew was that he was going to make sure he knew exactly what or who caused Alexis to die.

Patrick pulled the gloves off of his hands with angry movements at the loss. It wasn't so much that Alexis had died, he dealt with death everyday. It was because her death was unknown and he had no answers to what caused her sudden seizure.

Yet.

Now he had to confront Ric in the waiting room and give him the news that his wife was dead. This was the part he hated the most.

"Mr. Lansing?"

Ric looked up from his spot on the waiting room couch. His eyes glimmered with unshed tears and with one look into the solemn face of Dr. Drake; Ric knew that his wife was gone. He didn't say a word to the man standing before him, just placed his head back into his hands and began to cry silently for his loss.

Patrick didn't know what to do for the man and thankfully for Elizabeth, he didn't have to do anything. She touched his arm before she walked past him and knelt before Ric. Patrick gave her a grateful smile and walked away, giving the grieving husband his privacy.

Touching his hand, Elizabeth whispered to Ric, trying not to startle him with her presence. "Ric?"

He didn't look up at first, and Elizabeth didn't make him. She just kept her hand on top of his in her own way of showing him that she was there for him. Several minutes passed before Ric finally turned his tortured eyes towards hers. He knew Elizabeth was kneeling before him the minute she said his name, but he couldn't bring himself to look up.

"You were in her room."

"What?" She didn't understand him at first. His words were spoken on a hoarse whisper and she didn't know what he meant.

"Before she died, you were in her room."

Elizabeth didn't know that Ric had seen her earlier because she was too busy trying to find Patrick. She tried not to take offense to the look he was giving her, but her heart beat began to quicken at the possible thought of what Ric's harsh expression could mean.

"Yes, I was. I was walking by her room and decided to check on her. She looked pale so I went to go find Patrick. But right when I found him he was being called into Alexis's room. Ric, I am so sorry."

"Don't."

"Ok." Elizabeth stood up, placed her hand on Ric's bent head and then walked away.

Her heart went out to her ex-husband. She just hoped that Ric would be able to get through this and not go back to his old ways. He finally had a family, and even though his wife had just died, he needed to be there for his daughters.

It had been two days since Alexis's death. The hospital claimed that the death wasn't accidental, starting a police investigation. Everyone was questioned more than once, and although Elizabeth's heart went out to Alexis's family, she hoped that the investigation would be over soon.

She was just walking towards the nurse's station when she saw three uniformed cops walking towards her. She stopped at the look of their grim faces and her first thought was of Lucky. Something happened to him. But that thought quickly vanished when one of the officers reached behind his back and pulled his hand-cuffs out.

"Elizabeth Spencer, you're under arrest for the murder of Alexis Lansing."
