Chapter 29: Let's Stay Together

"Do it again!"

"Mr. Cassadine the test –"

"– is wrong the test is wrong."

"All three of them, I don't think so." Detective Mary Grant cut in.

"Mr. Cassadine I'm sorry for your loss but you have to accept the fact that your wife is gone, no she's dead. I'm sorry" she added.

"Don't pretend you care. You don't know me or Emily so don't pretend you give a damn about us," Nikolas said. "We are just another case to you."

"No, Mr. Cassadine you are wrong." Mary said getting agitated, "You're not another case, because this not a case, your wife was a victim of the fire she was not kidnapped or murdered." She finished as she turned and left, leaving behind several stunned faces.

As Mary walked to her car she took out her phone and a piece of paper with a number her boss, had given her.

"Hello," said the voice on the phone.

"Don't talk just listen, the boss gave me your number as an emergency if things got out of control. Nikolas is not backing down; we are going to have to do something about it. I'll meet you in the pre-marked meeting place at six." Mary hung up the phone, things were about to get dirty.

Nikolas stood still, lost in his thoughts, for what seemed like forever. After he had left the hospital he was in a daze. Three DNA tests say that the woman in the morgue was Emily, which meant that she would be put into a grave with Emily's name on it, and her family and friends would grieve for her there. But that woman was not Emily, Nikolas would never believe that.

That's why he stood in the very same spot that he and Emily shared their first kiss all those years ago. He felt close to her here. His thoughts were interrupted when a small voice called his name.

"Nikolas," Lulu said running towards him and jumping into his arms.

He caught her mid jump and gave her a hug. "Hey sweetie how are you."

"I'm fine Nikolas; Lucky is taking me to get ice cream."

Nikolas looked up to see Lucky. "Do you want to come with us?" Lucky asked.

"Sure why not."

"Hey Lulu why don't you go pick us out a song for us." Lucky said handing her some money.

"Cool!" Lulu said running away.

"I need to talk to you about Lulu," Lucky said getting straight to the point.

"Okay,"

"She's been staying with Bobbie, since Grandma passed. But she can't stay with Bobbie permanently. She needs a home, and if we don't act fast I'm afraid Social Services will step in."

"Well she could stay with me," Nikolas suggested.

"I don't think Wyndemere is the right place, Lulu would probably get lost there then we'd really be in trouble."

"Why don't you all come to Wyndemere?"

"All of us?"

"You, Lulu, Liz, and Cameron, before you say no remember it's not going to be forever. You and Elizabeth haven't looked for a house yet, and you didn't expect the baby to be here this soon, so I know you guys don't have all the stuff yet that you need, but I do."

"Nikolas – I – we can't use the stuff for your baby."

"You won't be. Emily and I could never agree on anything when it came to stuff for our son. Not even on the location of his room. So she designed a room and I did too. You can use my design, I have a feeling Emily's would have won anyway."

"I don't know what to say."

"Say you'll talk to Liz."

"Okay sure, thanks man."

"No problem, that's what family's for."

"Nikolas can I ask you something, with the promise that you won't get mad or blow up?"

"Sure, I guess."

"Do you really think Emily is still alive?"

"I know she is Lucky."

"How?"

"It – it's hard to explain, I just know."

"Okay then, I believe you, if you feel she's still alive I'll support you."

"Even if everyone else thinks I'm crazy?"

"News flash everyone already believes all Cassadine's are crazy," Lucky joked.

"Really would you care to elaborate to why that is?" A voice behind Lucky said.

They both turned around to see detectives Mary Grant and Thomas Johnson.
