Chapter 4

3 Months Later

"Nikolas, we need to talk." Britt was nervous but happy.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Nikolas looked at his girlfriend and smiled. They had been through a lot together and there was nothing she could say that would surprise him.

"Nothing, I least I hope you don't think it's wrong. Nikolas, I'm pregnant!"

"Really?" Nikolas looked at her and slowly started smiling. "I'm going to be a father again. That's great news!" He picked Britt her up and swung her around. "Sorry, got carried away there."

Nikolas put his hands on Britt's still smooth stomach. "I didn't upset you there, did I?" Britt giggled at him.

"How far along are you?"

"Almost 3 months. Are you sure your okay with this?"

"Okay? I'm ecstatic. This is a miracle."

Britt smiled and hugged Nikolas close. Maybe her mother was right, maybe this baby is exactly what she needed to do to get Nikolas to stay with her forever.

Robin's alarm went off. She was in middle of taking her nightly pills when Helena walked in.

"My dear Robin, how are you doing?"

It had been several months since she had seen Helena and she hadn't missed her one bit.

"What do you care?"

"Of course I care. You have to stay healthy for all my wonderful plans for you."

Robin's stomach twisted into knots. Every time Helena mentioned her "plans" for Robin she couldn't help but feel like her world would be ending soon.

"Now, you have been working very hard so I decided that you deserve a reward. I've brought you a visitor. Bring him in."

Robin was scared – surely Helena hadn't kidnapped Patrick?

The guards came in with the man, tied up and with a bag over his head. The guards pushed him into a chair and removed the bag.

Robin stood there in shock. "Nikolas?"

"Robin, are you okay?"

Helena glared at Nikolas. "She is fine. You know I take excellent care of my guests. Now, the guards will untie you and you two can play catch up." With a wave of her hands, the guards did her bidding and then they all left the room.

Robin ran over to Nikolas and hugged him. He responded in kind, holding her close and stroking her hair.

"Robin, please tell me what is going on? Patrick said you left him and Emma? He is telling everyone that you chose to move to Paris and start a new life without them."

Tears filled Robin's eyes as she shook her head. "It was all a lie. Victor and Helena arranged the accident that killed Patrick's son and they have people watching Patrick and Emma all the time. Either I do what they want or they will hurt them. I can't risk it so I'm going to do whatever they ask."

"Damn them! Robin I am so sorry. You have been through so much and now with Patrick and Sam…" Nikolas stopped suddenly, maybe Robin didn't know about them.

"I know they have been seeing each other. It's ok." She took Nikolas's hands in hers. "I signed the divorce papers and he has a right to move on but there is something you should know..."

The guards burst in and pulled them apart. They grabbed a struggling Nikolas and dragged him out the door. Helena came back in.

"You and my grandson will get more time together as long as you continue to do your work and behave. Also, please do not mention anything to him about Mr. Morgan. As far as Port Charles is concerned, his name is Jake Smith and he and your good friend Elizabeth Webber have started quite the romance. Let sleeping dogs lie."

Helena left and Robin kicked the stool. She was so damn angry, frustrated and confused. Why the hell did Helena drag Nikolas into this?
