-Only the Hunter rides –
I like the character of Morgan. However I think the poor kid needs a break and I am here to give it to him. I have not written anything in a long time, so this may not be perfect. But I hope you find it entertaining to say the least.
Summary: A friend of Nikolas's comes to Port Charles for a change of pace. Morgan Corinthois needs a distraction from him. Nikolas's friend could very well be what he needed.
Disclaimer – I own nothing from GH.
The jingle of reins brought Nikolas out of his private thoughts. He looked in the direction, where the noise was coming from. Spencer sat on the bay horse smiling at him, and then frowned.
"Dad, are you even paying attention?"
"Yes, yes Spencer I am. So this is the third horse you have tried so far, do we have a favorite yet. Or must you try them all?" he questioned his son playfully.
"Of course he has to try them all. The horse fair doesn't come to port Charles that often, you know "a familiar voice told him.
"Hey Lynda, I thought you were going to call me, to tell me when you were coming to town "Nikolas chuckled. He stood up and walked over to where his friend sat on a large black majestic looking horse. He held the reins as the woman climbed down off of the horse.
"You know I was going to but thought to myself, why make it easy for you? Anyway I thought you had a barn full of wonderful horses. What brings you here?" she asked him taking the reins back. She looked at the black horse and rubbed its neck before leading him over to the side.
Nikolas grinned at his friend and pointed to his son " that one right there sold off some of the horses , claiming they were too much for Alfred to handle . But doesn't worry most just go back to the island. We are here because the young man would like a horse of his very own. Not one that was handed down to him. I told him if he did well in school he could come out and pick a horse. So here we are. Anyway what brings the master horse woman to Port Charles?"
Lynda looked over at Spencer and thought for a minutes before saying " Spencer , go give Winter to the groom and try out Chellos . I think you will like him." She looked back over to Nikolas and sighed.
"Listen, I love being a horse woman and competing and, god knows I love the horses. However I need something different so after talking to my aunt and uncle. Who send their love, we decided a change of pace is what I needed. I'm going to go to school here at PCU. I couldn't bring Brandon with me he is 27 years old and loading up is harder for him . So I thought I'd come here and look for a horse here. Do you know any place I can board a horse?"
Nikolas let out a hearty laugh "you know very well what ever best you decide to get he will be bunking next to Spencer's. Come on lets go see where my boy went off too".
"Gets into trouble does he?" Lynda asked already knowing the apple probably didn't fall far from the tree. The other reason she had come to port Charles was her parents were worried about Nikolas. After the collapse of his engagement to the doctor who stole embryos. Nikolas only chuckled as they walked side by side to the holding pens where a different array of beautiful colorful horses where being held.
They talked about what had happened and how Britt confessed everything and was being held in jail at the moment. They talked about how happy Nikolas was that his sister finally had a baby of her own. They talked about how much had changed since Emily had passed. Finally Lynda spotted Spencer on a white Arabian Gelding. She was going to ask when Spencer had taken a shine to horses when Nikolas's cell rang.
"Excuse me I have to take this "
Lynda watched as Nikolas walk away speaking quietly to who ever was on the line with him. A loud snort got her attention as she looked up to see Spencer sitting once more in front of her on the Arabian.
"That is a fine animal there Spencer, what is his name?"
"Nightmare has Dreams, but his call name is Kent. I really like him. You think my dad will let me have him " the boy asked while trying to keep his horse steady .
" I don't see why not , but how bout you let the grooms know to put him on hold and come help me pick out my horse "
"Really I can help you pick out your next champion? That would be great "Spencer quipped. he climbed down off of Kent and led the horse over to the holding pen until his father was done with his call and he walked over to the Friesians paddock . Spencer looked over he herd of large black horses. Friesian were the worlds most beautiful horse , at least a person in a magazine and said that once . As they stood quietly looking over the horses. One came charging from across the paddock and stopped half way from them. As the horse snorted he tossed his head and stared at them. Ears perked forward eyes wide.
"He is beautiful isn't he "Nikolas remarked as he walked up to them. " I love the white on his fetlock Spencer did you pick out a horse yet , because it is getting late , and you and Emma and Cameron where going to Patrick's for a play date remember ?"
"Yes dad I did, it's the white horse over there. Come on Dad go check him out "the boy pulled at Nikolas's hand. "Lynda, you coming?"
" Oh no , I need to check out a few more horses , but after this if you have no plans , dinner ?"
"Sure, you have my number right?"
"Yes, now I'll call you after this. Bye Spencer.
" Bye Lynda , good luck" the little boy was trying to control his excitement as he led Nikolas over to where the horse was , she watched him get up into the saddle and smiled to herself . Spencer got the horse gene defiantly from Nikolas.
Lynda had combed over the whole horse fair, from Arabians, to Welsh cobs, to mustangs. She let out a loud sigh. Picking out the perfect horse was not as easy as it looked. As she walked back down the main path leading back to the food vendors a smaller little girl ran right into her.
" Sorry lady " the little girl had the blondest hair and bluest eyes ,which looked like she was about to cry .
" Oh honey its okay " she told the little girl as she helped her up .
" Joss!" a younger man called out " Joss, you have to watch where you are going , plus you will scare the horses " he added . The man held out his hand and offered an apology.
"I am so sorry miss. My sister got overly excited "
Lynda accepted his hand "its okay I too was once a little girl. But your brother is right, you don't want to scare the horses "
" I'm Morgan and this is Joss" before he could say anything else Carly walked over " Joss , stay closer to your brother and where is Jax ?"
Lynda looked around "I'm sorry did you say Morgan, as in the horse?"
"No my mom's best friends last name, but I suppose it is a horse "
"Lynda Everett. Um nice to meet you but I have to go " she nodded towards carly and the little girl then headed towards where the organs where being kept .
Carly nodded at Morgan "she was cute, come on lets go find jax. I'm sure Morgan doesn't want to stand around looking at horses all day. Carly moved her daughter towards the pony pens. She took a sideway glance at her younger son, who was looking in the direction of the woman he was talking too.
Okay this is a little rough but this is suppose to be like riding a bike right?
