Lucky ran into the hospital he didn't care who was going to stop him, the three people he love most in this world beside his family was hurt and he needed to be with them. He rushed to the front desk, not caring if they were busy or trying to help someone else. All his rational thinking went out the window when Lulu told him Elizabeth and the boys had been in a car crash. Once he reached the front desk there was Epiphany sorting some files. Lucky hit his hand on the counter to get her attention before speaking.
"Where are Elizabeth and the boys?" Lucky asked her hoping she would tell him and he could just run up the stairs.
"Lucky, maybe you should calm down for a minute" Epiphany said to him. She didn't want to be the one to tell him the bad news. She knew that was family or the doctor's job. Or at least she wasn't on the case so she had no rights to say anything.
"Where are they Epiphany?" Lucky snapped at her. He just wanted to know where they were.
"Four floor. Room 416" Epiphany said to him and without another word Lucky went off running to get to the fourth floor.
Lucky rushed up to the fourth floor, hoping and praying that they weren't hurt badly, that is was just a minor injury and Lulu had gotten him all worked up for nothing. As he raced up the stairs his mind went to all the different possibilities, Elizabeth and the boys where hurt badly. Elizabeth was hurt the worst and the baby was in danger. Cameron and Jake were hurt badly and Elizabeth was beating herself up. Everything ran through his head, just never the thought any of them where dead. He knew if that was the case then Lulu would have told him. She wouldn't have giving in the false impression that it was bad but still okay. Or maybe he wanted to believe it would still be okay, because he couldn't image anything like this happening to any of them. Lucky reached the floor and raced to the room as fast as he could. If anyone tried to stop him he knew he'd just ignore them. This was Elizabeth, Cam and Jake that were in trouble. Once he reached the room, stopped and slowly walked in not sure what he'd see. As he walked in he saw Cameron in the bed with Lulu next to him and tears rolling down her face. She heard a noise and looked up and over to see Lucky walking in. He looked at her with a confused look, almost asking where Elizabeth and Jake were. Lulu got up and walked over to him. She then pulled him out of the room; she didn't want Cameron to wake up so she closed the door as well.
"Jake's fine, he'll be fine. He's with Audrey right now" Lulu said to him trying to be strong for her brother. She knew she wasn't Elizabeth's fan, but she knew Lucky was still in love with her. Not to mention because of their baby. She didn't know how to tell him, or how he was going to take it.
"Where's Elizabeth and the baby?" Lucky asked her. He knew she should be asking about Cameron and he would, but Elizabeth wasn't here; if she was fine she'd be hounding the doctors till they told her anything. But she wasn't here so it meant she was hurt too.
"Lucky" Lulu started to say, before more tears fell down her face. She was finding it so hard to tell him. "She's gone"
"No, you're lying where is Elizabeth" Lucky said to her not wanting to believe what his sister just told him, even though he knew if it was coming from her it was the truth. She wouldn't have a reason to lie to him.
"She's gone Lucky" Lulu said, it was killing her to see her brother like this. She knew it was going to hurt him and she couldn't do anything to help him. "They said she was dead at the scene"
"She's not dead, don't say that" Lucky said, he then hands up to his head and ran then down his head till then were on his neck. He was trying to hold himself together and trying not to believe what his sister was telling him.
"I'm sorry" Lulu said to him, trying to offer him something anything. "They said there was nothing they could do. She was already gone" Lucky listen to his sister, he didn't want to believe it. He then brought his hands down. He turned to face the wall, and clenched up his fist. He brought his hand up and punched the wall with everything he had before leaning his back to it. He then slowly slide down the wall as he slowly started let his emotions get a hold of him. Once he hit the ground he sat there staring at the ground, as tears fell from his eyes. Lulu stood there watching him not sure what to do. He wasn't sure if she tried to console him or just walked away to let him be alone. She was just as lost as he was right now, but she knew he was even more lost.
Lulu knew she couldn't stand there anymore. It was just too much for her to watch her brother lose everything within himself. She knew she should be there for Lucky, but he wasn't there anymore. He was just lost and she didn't know how to help him. She walked down the hall thinking about going to the chapel, but wasn't so sure what to say. Did she ask to make sure Elizabeth and the baby were well even though everyone knew she hated Elizabeth for everything she had done. Did she wish for Cameron to be okay in the end? She knew it was going to kill Cameron when he woke up to find out his mother was never going to come home. Had to someone tell a little boy that his parent or parents were never coming home? She hated Elizabeth and made no point in hiding it, but she would never wish this upon her and never upon those boys. She knew how much Lucky cared for those boys, so she knew how hard this would be for him. She ended up finding herself at the nurse's desk just as Nikolas walked off the elevator, she could tell he knew what happened. Against her better judgment Lulu walked over to Nikolas before he had a chance to find Cameron's room.
"We need to talk now" Lulu demanded. She knew if she could do one thing for Lucky that was to let him know the truth even if it made it hurt that much more. Nikolas sighed, but he knew she wasn't going to get away that easy. Lulu then leaded them over to the waiting area, were thankfully no one was around. "You need to tell Lucky the truth"
"What is so different about now, then all the other times Lulu?" Nikolas said to her. He knew she was right, but also knew that the secret would stay a secret since it meant Helena get got her wish.
"What's different Nikolas?" Lulu said to him, not even wanting to dignify that with and answer. "What's different is that it wasn't your baby that died, Nikolas. It was Lucky's and he deserves to know that. You own him that"
"Why cause more pain that he doesn't need Lulu?" Nikolas said to his sister.
"Because Nikolas it wasn't just Elizabeth he lost, it was the baby too. Not to mention Cameron was hurt. A lot of people he cared about where in that car Nikolas, including his own baby. Now you need to tell him the truth. I don't care what you think or what you think you know, Lucky deserves to know the truth"
"It doesn't matter now. The secret can die with Elizabeth" Nikolas said to his sister. He knew those weren't the right words to say, but he thought maybe there could be a chance of him and Lucky finding peace again. He'd morn for the baby he'd lost and the best friend he'd never see again. Just like Lucky would morn for the love he'd never be with again. And Helena was no longer a threat. Her reign of terror ended here.
"You self righteous bastard" Lulu snapped at her brother. She couldn't even stand to look at him right now. Whoever was in front of him right now wasn't her brother Nikolas; it was Nikolas the true Cassadine Prince. "If you don't tell Lucky, I will" Lulu snapped at him and then walked away. Nikolas was left there to see how far everything had truly gone.
Lucky sat there drowning in his own thoughts. Still trying to wrap his mind around something he knew wasn't true. Elizabeth's wasn't dead, he would know if she was died. But still Lulu had said it to him. She had no reason to lie. No reason to tell him something this big if it wasn't the truth. Yet he knew if Elizabeth was truly gone he'd feel it and he didn't feel it. Yet to be honest right now he felt nothing. He heard nothing and saw nothing. All he could do was stare straight at nothing going through his mind of what he did wrong. How he wasn't there. How he was wrong. How he never got to say goodbye. How things would never be the same. How things were going to change. How he'd never get to tell Elizabeth the truth. How he'd never get to hear her laugh again. More tears started to well up in his eyes, he fought hard with himself but the more he thought about things the more the tears needed to fall. When he finally looked up he looked over at the room across from him through his teary eyes. He knew his son was lying in that bed not knowing what was going out around him. The thought of having to tell him Elizabeth wasn't coming home killed him, but he knew it had to come from him.
Lucky finally was able to pull himself together long enough to gather the strength to stand. It took so much from him to stand; he just couldn't image facing the word knowing the one person he loved was gone. The one person who had been his best friend for so many years wasn't coming back. He then found then strength again to walk across the hall to the door. He slowly started to open it hoping Cameron was still a sleep. He didn't know how he was going to find the strength to tell him. Right now he was fighting for the strength to move to be with him. Right now he needed to be with Cameron and that was one thing that was giving him strength. He slowly started to walk over to Cameron's bed side after closing the door. Once he got to Cameron's bed side he sat down in the chair and took Cameron's hand in his. It was only this morning that Cameron had a smile on his face and excited for what was to come. Lucky remembered how happy he was for the show and how upset he was that Lucky wasn't there. Lucky knew if he had been there, it could have been him and Elizabeth, the baby and Cameron would have been fine. There would be no telling Cameron his mother wasn't coming home. He could have protected his family, instead he had failed them. And now instead of Cameron getting a baby sister, he was losing his mother. All because Lucky couldn't tell the commissioner that he already had plans. No he had to work instead of being there for all of them.
"I'm here buddy and I promise you that I'm going to make everything okay." Lucky said to a sleeping Cameron as he choked back tears. He just needed to know that Cameron was going to be fine, because if he wasn't Lucky wasn't sure how he was going to hold on. He knew I was selfish because of Jake, but how maybe people can one person lose before they lose themselves. Lucky just sat there and stared at his son, for when he knew when Cameron woke his world was going to be completely shattered.
Lulu slowly made her way into the chapel. She walked up to the front and picked up the box of matches. She opened them and pulled one out. Once she closed the box, she striked the match on the side to light it. Once the flame started to burn, she placed the box down and then lit a candle. She blew up the match and closed her eyes. She was still trying to make sense of how things had gotten to this point. How her, Lucky and Nikolas had gotten so far away. She had Nikolas for what he had done, but part of her did believe he had a reason and a good reason. It just didn't matter now, none of it mattered now. All that mattered was being there for Lucky and those boys. Lulu knew she didn't have the right at least in her mind to stand here and prey after all the mean things she said to Elizabeth, but in the end Cameron and Jake where still his nephews and the baby was her niece. She knew she had to do anything, anything but sit around waiting for Lucky to ask for a shoulder to tell her to leave him alone. She opened her eyes and walked over to one of the benches and sat down.
"I'm the last person you expected right? I mean after all the mean things I have said to Elizabeth, to her face and behind her back." Lulu started to say. She wasn't sure if she was getting off on the right foot or just going with whatever came out of her month. "But I'm not here for me. I'm here for Cameron and Jake. I know how much those boys loved their mother and how much Elizabeth loved them. So I'm asking you to watch over them. And give them all strength to make it through this. Give them a Guardian Angel, because they are going to need someone to watch over them. Lucky too" Lulu said as a few tears ran down her cheeks.
