Chapter 2

As Nikolas is telling his son Spencer what the agenda for the day is, he notices that his son usually doesn't spend time with him. As Spencer stands their unsure of how to act because he was excited to see his aunt and play with his cousins, the boy just stands there with a smile on his face. Nikolas picks him up and sits him on his lap.

"Spencer is you okay?" he waits for an answer from him.

He plays with his hands, looking down at them as he thinks of what to say.

"I'm fine dad; I just don't know how to respond to you" the well manner and proper kid desperately wants attention and love from his father. Seeing that he was a bad father, not being there for his son, teaching Spencer like how he was brought up by his uncle Stephan.

"Spencer, I know I haven't been there for you as much as you like but things are going to change now I promise" he wouldn't let his son become a Cassadine like him and his corrupted family.

"So we're still going to the park, just me and you, no nannies?" he asked.

Nikolas smiled. "Just me, you, Auntie Elizabeth, Cameron, and Jake, Is that okay with you?" he asked Spencer. Spencer gives him a wide grin and throws his arms around Nikolas neck hugging him.

"Woo buddy" Nicholas chuckles as he holds him tighter, when Spencer pulls off of him he still sports the smile and Nikolas gives the boy a kiss on the cheek and pats his back as he tells him to go get ready.

"Wait", he yells for the running Spencer, as he turns to him, Nikolas tells him to wear something he can play in. Spencer's smile widens more now as he runs off towards his nanny. Nikolas feels good about the evening that is planned and even happier that his son his is now happy.

Elizabeth and Lucky were eating hot dogs from a hot dog stand on the side of the hospital. They sat on a bench no to far from her job with their lunch. She was on her break and Lucky happened to be walking around GH looking for her because he was on his. Lucky wanting to spend even more time with his newly fiancé asked her out to lunch.

Elizabeth couldn't say no to a hot dog stand around the corner, after all she only had a twenty minute break. Feeling guilty she accepted and as they sat in silence munching on their lunch, the wheels in her head continued. As Lucky inhaled his first hot dog with everything on it, Elizabeth once again found something that annoyed her. His chewing was horrible to the ears; she didn't understand why she kept noticing them now.

This morning in the car he kept tapping the steering wheel with his thumb… taps after tap in that uncomfortable silence she could not stand. How come she never noticed any of this stuff until now, Elizabeth nibbled on her hot dog, she sighed knowing that her mind was making excuses of why to leave Lucky. She couldn't, no he was best for the family, the boys will be mad if he left again.

"Do you like your lunch?" he asked as he finished his, sipping on his can of soda.

"Yes I do, and thanks again Lucky for taking me –

He cut her off "Elizabeth you don't have to thank me, that's what I'm here for. Elizabeth nodded then finished off her hot dog.

"I was thinking later after work, you, me and the boys watch a movie and ice cream" he smiled really in love with his family. Elizabeth smiled back; her love for the boys could make her smile even on the worst days.

"The boys will love that, especially since their going to be all worn out from their evening of play time at the park". She smiled again and shied away from his stare; sometimes it looked like her fiancé wanted to devour her up in one big ole gulp. Instead he took a long swig of his soda and glanced at his watch.

"Okay well it's a date, I'll call you when I'm on my way home, maybe I'll pick ya'll up from the park" he said as he stood throwing his trash away.

"Lucky that isn't necessary, the boys and I will be fine going home" she had Nikolas on her mind she should've just told him, it would have been easier then. Lucky nodded again.

"Whatever you say Liz, I'll call you later okay, Do you want me to bring you up?" He asked as they were already in front of the entrance of General Hospital.

The day was bright out, a beautiful fall day as the leaves sprinkled over, as the light chill brought them to the ground. The hospital was having a slow day and Elizabeth was grateful her mind couldn't take chaos right now.

"No Lucky its okay, I'm heading right up you should get back too".

He moved closer and took her in his arms, embracing her fully. They held each other for a bit, lost in their thoughts, until Elizabeth pushed off whispering a goodbye as she walked inside and pressed for the elevator. When the empty car of the elevator finally closed her view from all, she let the tears slide out uncontrollably.

As the hours flew by, she left her desk and put the files back. She went to the dressing room to change; she saw her friend Dr. Robin Scorpio Drake. They smiled at each other as Elizabeth crossed to her locker.

"What are your plans for today? Robin asked.

"I'm taking the boy's to the park and then dinner, movie and dessert with Lucky" It slipped out wrong but Robin understood as she grinned.

Elizabeth rolled her eyes as she undress and changing her shirt. "How's the little one?"She asked.

"Oh she's great, getting more and more beautiful as ever" Robin smiled thinking of her baby girl. She said goodbye and excused herself, leaving Elizabeth alone with her thoughts.

She changed quickly and gathered her belongings heading to pick up her boys. Before she left she stayed in the alone room with her phone pressed against her ear. She waited for the person to answer.

"I'm off, I'm going to pick up my sons then head to the park" she told Nikolas. She replied and then hung up, ready for their evening.

As Elizabeth walked with her boy's both in each of her hands, they were eager to play. Jumping and running away from her every chance they could. Jake was a sweetie he always went back to her but Cameron was a challenge. As they crossed the last street until the park, the boys noticed the play ground and heard the sounds of other kids playing they jumped and squealed pointing and tugging from their moms hand. Cameron got loose first and ran straight into the park, Jake wanted to be with his older brother but his mommy was screaming for Cameron so he stuck close by her, smart boy.

"Cameron, don't go too far" she yelled after the boy.

Cameron ran inside and bumped into a man, he fell on his back. As the man straightened him up Cameron noticed his cousin Spencer and became excited as he went to him and hugged. As he looked up to the man he bumped,

"Sorry Uncle Nik" Cameron hugged his legs.

"Where's your mom?" Nikolas asked looking around the big park. He couldn't spot her.

Cameron turned to the direction he had just come from and saw them appearing now "There" he pointed.

Nikolas looked and saw what he was waiting for, what kept him up countless nights, the image of her still fresh in his mind, now seeing her here and now, the image couldn't compare. His lips parted as he stared waiting for her to come closer. She wore a brown jacket but under was a deep green blouse and some tight blue jeans. Her hair was down and some strands blew from the slight breeze.

As she walked with Jake up to him, she tried hard to keep her eyes from meeting his. It was inevitable, her body wanted him, her eyes sought him, he looked more relax as he wasn't in one of his tailored suits; he was dressed casual today, a blue shirt with some tan slacks and shoes. The shirt hugged him tightly and his muscles flexed about from beneath it when he moved. She exhaled feeling a blush were forming on her cheeks because of the things she constantly thought when he was around.

"Hi" she softly said to him and Spencer.

She let Jake go as he waved to Nikolas and smiled beamingly up at him. Nikolas hugged the little boy and then picked him up as he walked them to the bench. As he put Jake down, then the bag Spencer's nanny packed for him was dropped on the bench. He looked to his son and Cameron as they were looking at the kids on the play set.

"Spencer, tie your shoe" he told his son.

Spencer did as he was told with an "oh" not noticing it was untied. Nikolas sat down next to Elizabeth as she had Jake on her lap checking over him.

"Now listen all of you, you stay together and No one, He pointed at all the boys, I repeat No One leaves this park, ok?" All boys nod eagerly to leave and play.

"Alright, go have fun" they both said. Before they could even finish their sentence the boys were quickly moving away from them screaming happily. Nikolas laughed as he watched Spencer run and wrestle around with Cameron, enjoying himself.

Their children had soon become forgotten as Nikolas turned her way. His eyes moved all over her wanting badly to touch her, he would have to settle with taking her hand and holding it. He moved her bag for her boys to the back of him to sit with the other. He slid closer to her never taking his eyes from her. Elizabeth turned his way as she felt his stare, his eyebrows went up questioning. "What?" she asked

"Spend the night with me, Liz?"

Her head whipped back to his eyes, he knew that would get a reaction out of her.

"You know I can't" she told him sternly.

"Why can't you?" he asked knowing but wanted to keep up the conversation, any conversation. He cradled her hand in his. She looked down between there clasped hands then around the park. It was mid day, the sun was still out and it wasn't too chilly out. The park was big and spacious but today it wasn't that crowded, but she still removed her hand, tugging it away like how her son Cameron usually does.

"Nikolas stop, you know why and where in public, please don't make me regret letting us see each other" she told him.

Nikolas began shaking his head as he bit on his lip, stopping him from saying what he really wanted to say, from doing what he really wanted to do, and that is to kiss her so hard right there on that bench. He couldn't, his brother always stopped him from acting out in public with her, and he had to respect their relationship no matter how much he didn't like it.

He sat back and watched his son and Cameron pushing Jake in the swing set. They all were laughing and cheering, well at least their having fun he thought as he turned back to Elizabeth.

"I can't touch you in public, hold you or even hold your hand, why is that Elizabeth? Why do you stop something you so badly want?" He let his hand come to her face palming her cheek gently, as she let her guard down and relaxed into his hand, one of hers coming up to hold his in place against her cheek. "You don't want me to stop. Liz no one will think anything of it. We've been friends for ever, it's been countless times that we took the boys out on a play date or went out to dinner just me and you".

"The difference now Nikolas is that we slept together, she choked on a sob "I cheated on Lucky and you are hurting your brother"

Nikolas took his hand away from her face and put his arm behind her letting it rest on the bench. He shook his head and moved closer, so he could speak in her ear.

"Don't you think I know that? That's old news now Liz, it's done and we still feel the way we feel. I don't regret one moment of that night, well maybe the fact that were hurting the people in our lives, but aside from that, I wouldn't have it any other way" he told her with certainty in his eyes.

She couldn't help but be drawn to him, as the children playing around them deceased and what if's and everything else escaped their mind as they drew closer. Nikolas was staring at her lips, those pink luscious things that kept him up at night, wanting more. Elizabeth were looking at his eyes, she had nothing on her mind but him, not Lucky, not the pain, not Emily, or her future marriage plans.

As they were a breath apart, Nikolas arm was on her shoulder and his free hand was back on her cheek pulling her to him, before they each could dive into the passion, Jake ran to them tapping both of their legs, disconnecting their connection.

Elizabeth groaned as she looked down at her boy who was signaling he wanted his Sippy cup, as she handed it to him Nikolas had his hand over his face once again scrubbing the desire away.

As both of them stared out to find their other kids, they found them staring at them with questionably looks, both much older than Jake to understand what was about to go on between their parents.

Elizabeth looked horrified as Cameron had a sad pout on his face, and his cousin who was standing near him looked more confused about it than the both of them.

"O my God Nikolas" she said as they stood up to get their sons.

"Spencer come, let's go for a walk" he grabbed his hand and Elizabeth and Nikolas shared a look before they walked on.

She knelt down to Cameron and as she tried to kiss his cheek he moves away, with the same sad look on his face. She picked Jake up and told Cameron to follow her towards the bench since he would not take her hand. As Jake was starting to fall asleep on her shoulder she left him on her lap as she sat. She pulled Cameron to stand in front on her.

"Cameron what's wrong?" she asked already knowing she just wanted to hear him say it.

"Mommy you love daddy right?" he asked in the sweetest voice, Elizabeth wanted to cry. She made her son question her feelings towards his father.

"I love your father very much" she didn't lie to her son, she did love Lucky, she always would.

"But… he scratched his hair, weren't you about to kiss Uncle Nik?" he asked

"You know how mommy gives you and Jake kisses when you get sad or upset, he nodded. Well that's what Nikolas was going to do, he was just trying to cheer me up", realization began to pass through him as he accepted what his mom was telling him.

"Oh" he said as he popped up on the bench next to her and his brother. "Mommy, I wouldn't mind if you liked Uncle Nikolas though, he's really cool for a Prince he looked up questioning,

Elizabeth nodded "he is a Prince Cam".

"Plus I would get to see Spencer all the time" he continued.

"Well then, why did you look sad when you thought we were about to kiss?" She asked

"I just was sad for daddy; I thought he was going to move out again" he told her.

With her free arm she brought him near and hugged him as best as she could with Jake fast asleep on her. She didn't say anything, not wanting to lie to her son; she had no clue how things were going to turn out.

As Nikolas bought his son an ice pop, he talked while they walked.

"Spencer I don't want you to become confuse about me and Auntie Elizabeth, I want to be completely honest with you".

Spencer stopped eating his Popsicle to talk. "If you like Auntie Liz, I'm okay with that dad. He looked up to his father. I was just confused because I thought you liked Rebecca".

"Ms. Shaw" Nikolas corrected his son.

"I like them both Spencer, it just happens that Elizabeth and I, it's just too complicated".

As they rounded the corner to the park entrance, Nikolas kneeled down until him and his son was at eye level.

"Listen to me, whatever me and Auntie decides, you, Jake and Cameron will come first. But as for now Auntie Liz is with their father and I'm dating Ms. Shaw. For now that's how it has to be, okay?"

Spencer nodded with cherry stained lips from his snack he formed a smile. Nikolas ruffled his son's head and told him that the evening was coming to an end; it was becoming dark as they entered the park.

As they approached the bench Nikolas saw Jake asleep and Elizabeth on the phone. He told Spencer to go play with Cameron until he called for him. Spencer ran to the slides where Cam was playing with the other boys. Nikolas sat down waiting for Elizabeth to end her conversation so they could talk.

"Yes, I understand… No it's okay Lucky. Nikolas is here to with Spencer, he will escort us home…I will tell them…, her voiced lowered as she turned away, I love you too Lucky" As she ended the call, Nikolas didn't wait to ask.

"What did he want?"

"He got stuck at work so it's just me and the boys for dinner and a movie" she told him.

Nikolas lips curled into a smile for a second when he knew he could spend more time with her tonight.

He shook his head "No it's now me, Spencer, and you three eating dinner and then movie. How bout' it, are you up for some Kelly's? He smirked knowing she couldn't turn him down.

"Nikolas you can't spend the night –"I know" he said deliberately but hoping otherwise.

"Then the boys and I will gladly have you and Spencer over" as she prided her eyes away from Nikolas, he kept tempting her, she looked at their boys sliding down the double slide together then running over to them when they waved them to come.

"Mommy, mommy, Cam jumped up and down, this was so fun I'm glad Spencer came. Are we going to spend the night with daddy now?" he asked putting on his coat.

"No Cam, Dad says he's sorry because he got stuck at work. But you know what, Cam head picked up to look at her; Nikolas and Spencer are going to spend the night with us".

Spencer and Cameron jumped up and down "For real, Dinner, movie and dessert?" Cam asked.

When he saw the both of them nod, him and Spencer cheered happily waking Jake up. They went to tell Jake as the grownups couldn't help but think of what this night would hold for them.

Come back for more!
