Loose ends: Port Charles

Author's note: this story takes place right after Port Charles ended, I felt compelled to write this because I hated that the writers left it so open ended. I will not be changing much except for the pairing, the pairing will be Alison & Caleb, I don't know of many stories revolving around them as a couple but I thought they were really hot together on the show. Livy and Jack will also be getting together in this story, I don't know about the other characters in the show though.

Prologue: the end or is it?

Alison & Rafe did get married finally after everything that happened to them, it seemed that they would finally get their happy ending but looks can be deceiving. Caleb & Olivia also got married or so it would seem to Livy anyway. It seemed that two couple was starting their lives together on the same night but there was this lie that hung between them all. Granted Caleb had told Livy most of the truth only because he knew that it would hurt her. Yet he still even held something back from her though because he had plans and he knew that if Livy knew the whole truth she would derail those plans.

Alison hadn't told Rafe anything because like a fool she actually thinks that Caleb will keep their one night of discretion a secret. She should know better than to ever trust Caleb with anything. She thinks back to a time when things were so much easier, when everything used to be black & white and good & evil and there were no shades of gray but that was before Caleb came to town and changed everyone's way of thinking including Alison's. She was the last one to notice that her knowing Caleb changed her.

While Alison & Rafe were enjoying their wedding celebration, Caleb & Livy were falling apart at the seams. When Livy finally stopped crying after the revelation about Alison carrying Caleb's baby, she confronted him and said, "Tell me that it's not true, Alison isn't really pregnant with your baby?"

Caleb smiled more to himself than to Livy, he just couldn't contain his joy at the prospect of being a father. He was amused because this was all because of Livy; sure he could have stopped himself from doing what the ring wanted them to do but why would he. Alison was so pure and untainted that he couldn't help himself. Now even without the ring he still wanted Alison but he wasn't going to tell Livy that. It was better to watch her beg and toy with her emotions as well. He was good at head games but whenever his heart got involved it usually ended in disaster usually for him more than anyone else involved.

He thought that maybe he just had bad luck with women or maybe it was because of his dark side that things kept spiraling out of control when it came to his love life. He couldn't help it, he even tried to get rid of it a few times but for some reason it didn't work. After a while he realized that he couldn't fight something that is so ingrained into him so deeply. So instead of deny that part of himself, he embraced it a long time ago, and now there was no turning back.

Caleb knew that there was no changing him but the worst part of his situation was that he changed Livy into who she is today. When he met her, she was a completely different person. Since she wasn't who he wanted her to be, he changed her with magic. He took out all the goodness in her and he knew that was wrong but at the time he didn't care. During that time he thought that Livy couldn't love him with all that goodness in her soul, so he buried her good side deep within her so she could love him. It was wrong and now he was going to rectify that mistake.

He went towards her and said softly, "Yes, it is true but in a moment you are not going to even care not about me anyways."

She looked at him as if her were crazy and said, "What are you talking about I am always going to love you?"
