Luke Spencer was an ordinary man living with his wife Laura in the small town of Port Charles, New York. They had a son named Lucky. He was the light of their lives. But this family had a secret, one they didn't want to come out. Everyday was the same. Luke was a doctor at the small hospital in town. Laura was a stay at home mom with a ear for gossip. Lucky was just a year old so all he like was getting things he wanted or crying until he got what he wanted. Some would say he was the most spoiled little boy ever. Laura kissed Luke goodbye and he walked to his car. She waved as he pulled out and noticed many birds in the sky. It was a bit unusual for the time of year but she shock it off. She headed to the market for supplies for Luke's dinner with his boss Alan Quartermaine and his wife Monica. She noticed that many people were out. For this time of day she shuck it off figuring everyone was getting things they needed for the weekend because a storm was coming. She found a spot and got out of the car. She got Lucky out and went inside. "I heard it's true." A tall women with graying hair. "So he's just vanished and their dead." A man with black hair going gray. "All but the boy." the first women said. "He survived everything and no one knows how"
Mattie wanted to stay and listen but Lucky started screaming so she walked away. As she walked the isles getting this and that she heard bits and pieces of what people were saying. "The dark one." "Patrick." "Avada Kadrva"
She would of listen more, but Lucky chose that moment to hit her in the head with a box of cereal. She shock her head at the baby and walked on. As she was leaving the store she heard it. "Patrick Drake lived and his parents died." She the red head she heard on the way in. Her head snapped around and then she saw it. The clocks and the wands clutched in their hands. "Well Noah and Bobbie were great people. Patrick was lucky to have them. "Oh no. No Lucky we have to go NOW." Mattie stated and pushed the cart on. Lucky cried as she placed him in the back seat and headed home.
She set Lucky in front of his favorite movie and went to the kitchen. She picked up the phone to call Luke but decided against it. She wasn't going to believe what someone dressed like a freak would say. She would wait until after the dinner to talk with him. She started getting food ready. Luke returned ready for the night. He opened the door and smelled her special Lasagna cooking. Lucky was in his best clothes looking unhappy he could see the rest of The Littles.
"Honey I'm home." Luke said entering the kitchen. 'Hello." Laura said walking over and giving him a kiss. "You better be upstairs and changing"
"Yes dear." Luke said. "You be good kid." Luke said to Lucky who sat still and fake smiling. Luke laughed and headed upstairs. He showered, changed and was back in record time. Laura finished the salad and setting the table. The door bell sounded so Luke picked Lucky up and headed out so Laura could finish getting things set up. He walked to the door and opened to find Alan, Monica and their son AJ. All hello went around and they walked into the dining room to find Laura setting the last of the food out. "Alan, Monica this is my wife Laura, Laura this is Alan and Monica Quartermaine and this is their son AJ"
"Nice to meet you." Laura said shaking there hands. "Dinner smells wonderful." Monica said. "Thanks, we have salad and my special Lasagna with garlic bread." Laura said. "Sound delicious." Alan said.
"Yucky." AK said. "I take he's like Lucky. How about if you have fish fingers and tatter tots "
"Cool." AJ said. Laura left to the kitchen and returned several minutes later with food for the boys. They set them up in high chars at the end of the table and the adults sat at the other. The evening when as planned. Conversation flowed smoothly and things couldn't have been better.
The next morning Luke was sitting in the living room watching the news. A report came on about the birds. "Laura hun have you notice any of the birds their reporting?" Luke asked.
"I saw some, but didn't think much of it." Laura said setting the coffee tray down. That when she remember what she over heard. "You haven't heard from your sister Bonnie, Bookie lately"
"Bobbie and no. Why?" "Well when I was at the store I heard someone say Noah and Bobbie Drake were killed and Patrick survived"
"I Haven't heard anything. Who knows, who cares." "Right, they are no good and we can only hope they stay away from us." Laura said smugly.
About ten past eleven the door bell rang. Luke pulled it open to find a man there. He was in a long star speckled clock. "No, go away." Luke said. "I am Professor Harvey Webberhem. And I assume you know why I am here." "Yes and I want you to go away." Luke said. Webberhem brushed passed Luke and entered the house. "See here." Luke said turning towards him. But she saw his wand and shut up quickly. They walked into the living room. Laura looked up and saw them. "Luke their kind is not welcome in our home." Laura said. "Sit down and listen." Webberhem said and they did quickly. "I am here because your sister Bobbie and her husband Noah have been killed and Patrick is quiet without a home and family"
"And you are here why?" Laura said. "I am here to ask you to take young Patrick into your home. I know it is to much to ask you to love him, but he needs a home. The man named Coaxis has vanished but I am afraid he is not gone. Now Patrick is a very special child and will someday be very special to our kind of people as you call us. Now I must let you know we will be watching you and Patrick"
"We don't what him." Luke said. "Well I did ask. Now I am demanding that you take him. And trust me I have ways of making you and I would hate to use them"
The door bell sounded again. "Awe a bit sooner then I was expecting but alass they are here." Webberhem said standing. "Who's here?" Demanded Luke. "Patrick his nanny of course." Webberhem said. He walked to the door and opened to find a women with a small child in her arms. "Awe, Audrey you made it I see. And how is young Patrick doing." "Sleeping well.." Audrey said stepping inside. They walked back to the living room. "Audrey March this is Luke and Laura Spencer." "Hello." She said her accent coming through fully. "Audrey will be staying on as Patrick's nanny. No need to worry. A room has been added and her pay is taken care of. She is a witch and will be in contact with me at any wrong doing." "Patrick needs sleep so if you will excuse us." Audrey said. "Audrey, I must be off but if you need me you know how to reach me." Webberhem said. "Yes, good bye Webberhem, I call if I need you. Patrick is in good hands." "I know. Well goodbye." Webberhem said to the Spencers. He left with a loud snap. Audrey left without word to Luke or Laura. She placed a sleeping Patrick in his crib for his nap and sat in the rocking chair knowing the years ahead were going to be hard on Patrick.
