Chapter 49: You could be happy

Author's Note:

This is a weird chapter, I didn't know what to call it, but the title seemed to work. It's not meant to be listened to the song You Could be Happy, by Snow Patrol. But if you would like to listen to it-it does go with the chapter. This is really an interesting chapter for it will tell us if the characters that are with the people they are now if they are happy with whom they chose. Enjoy and don't forget to review!

Jason, Elizabeth and Cameron were at Kelly's along with Sonny and Alexis and all of their children having one big get together when Lucky, Cruz and the mayor walked in trying to get away from the press.

"Is it true you're leaving the department Lucky Spencer?" A report asked and everyone in the restaurant wondered what they just heard.

"For the fiftieth time no comment!" Lucky said for there were people he still wanted to tell in person before the press reported it.

He turned to the mayor, "How the heck can news travel so fast?"

"I don't know…" the mayor said but he secretly told the press they were coming here.

Lucky looked at everyone and then motioned to the mayor, "I'll just be a second."

He saw Cameron with Jason and Elizabeth, "Hey Cam!"

"Hey dada!" he hugged him.

"I missed u!" Cam said as he hugged the man who used to be a part of his life.

"Me too!" Lucky said squeezing him in a hug.

Cruz walked to the counter where a red head woman sat at all dressed up like she was waiting for someone.

"Can I take this seat?" he asked nervously.

"Sure, it looks like my date is not coming after all."

"That's funny because I actually need a date for a special dinner I'm going to," Cruz said wondering if she would say yes.

"I don't even know you."

"Well I'm a police officer that's the mayor and that right there, the man with the boy in his arms is also a cop. It's his last night here so we're having a going away celebration and I've just been promoted, we're going out to the fanciest restaurant in town," he hinted like she might just have a good time.

"Can u stay?" Cameron asked.

It broke his heart having to say that he couldn't, "Ah I'm sorry Cam I can't daddy got a promotion and has a very important dinner to go to, but I promise we'll do something real soon ok?" Lucky knew he wasn't entirely telling the truth, but this wasn't the time or place to get Cameron upset about him leaving town.

Liz looked at him happy for his new found success and was happy that he appeared to be doing well. Jason looked at her as she enjoyed Lucky and Cameron together and for some reason it made him a little jealous.

"Alright…" Cameron said disappointed.

"How about we got the Zoo tomorrow?" Lucky offered for he wanted to do one last thing with his son.

"Oh sorry I should have asked," he looked at Liz but she didn't mind.

"No it's alright. Just have him back at Audrey's at 1," she happily said.

"Ok then tomorrow it is. Ok man I got go, but I'll see you tomorrow," he hugged Cameron put him back down in the seat.

"Hey Spencer we got to get going!" The mayor shouted.

He walked passed the table smiling goodbye to them when he heard Lulu shouting his name, "Lucky!" Lulu ran to him and pulled him off to the side.

"I just want to say that I support you, I thought long and hard about what you were talking about and I understand. I love you, I just want you to be happy…" she hugged him with tears falling from her eyes.

"Hey don't cry, I told you I'd come back. It means a lot to me to know that you support me. I love you sis," he hugged her and Elizabeth looked in the distance wondering what made Lulu so emotional.

He then walked up to his room.

The mayor meanwhile had been talking to Alexis, "How are you doing?"

"The doctors say that I'm getting better I might even be able to start working again you know?" She said hinting that she wanted her job back.

"Well when you're ready to come back I'll kick Lansing to the curb," the mayor assured her.

Alexis looked at the press outside, "What's the big occasion?"

"Oh well Lucky Spencer just had an award ceremony for his work done in the hostage crisis, the explosion and his heroic behavior during this town's biggest drug bust yesterday. It's too bad we're losing him to Washington D.C." The mayor said thinking that everyone knew that he was leaving town.

"D.C.?" Alexis and Sonny asked both wondering why he was going there.

"Yeah, he's going to work with the big boys, the big security agencies. I don't know which ones, but Mac put his paper work in and Lucky jumped on the deal faster than we all thought…" the mayor proudly said.

He continued, "So we promoted Lucky so that if D.C. doesn't work out he's got a job to come back to and his partner has also been promoted. We're having a goodbye celebration for him by taking him and his partner along with their dates to the finest restaurant in town."

Sonny was glad to hear that Lucky was moving on however he wondered if his plans for Angela would change, would she go with him?

Sonny was humorously distracted on the inside for the mayor never did any kind gestures like this without a hidden agenda, "Well that's nice of you; tell me what's the catch?"

"No catch well he is good press for me, that ex husband of yours has given me the worst press I've ever had to deal with…" the mayor complained.

Sonny and Alexis laughed, some how 'I told you so' just wouldn't seem polite.

Opening the door he saw her standing at his desk looking in the mirror as she put her earrings on, in his eyes she looked gorgeous.

"You look great…" he said as he closed the door and walked over to her.

"You don't look so bad yourself," she said smiling to him as they now stood right in front of each other.

"Well part one of my surprises is that I got a promotion as you can tell with the ridiculous amount of medals that they gave me," he said as he slowly made his move to grab her hand.

"I think they looked good on you," Angela said as she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Oh you do?" he brought the hand he was holding to his lips.

"You ready to go?" He asked her as he brought her hand down again.

"Yeah, thank you for inviting me." She said as she was about to let go of his hand to grab her purse.

"Well who else was I going to invite?" He said as he got the urge to kiss her.

Her eyes closed as he planted a kiss on her lips, he realized how much he liked her.

"I liked that," Angela said for the first time she felt like she was ready to move on and start fresh with Lucky.

"Me too, come on lets go!" He said as he started to walk with her.

She quickly grabbed her purse and they walked out of his room hand in hand.

"So what do you say?" Cruz said hoping he'd have date.

"Well you seem pretty safe, I'm Amelia and you are?"

"Cruz Rodriguez," he said to her.

The walked away from the counter and Cruz heard laughter coming from Lucky and Angela as they were walking down the stairs still hand in hand.

Elizabeth and Jason were laughing with Cameron as he had just said something funny when Jason grew distracted as something from the corner of his eye caught his attention.

He looked over at Lucky and Angela walking down the stairs but what he noticed first was them holding hands.

When she saw Jason dead cold looking at something in the distance she looked too and saw that Jason had been looking at Angela.

"Ok Mayor we're ready to go!" Lucky excitedly said.

"Good!" He said looking at him as well as his beautiful date.

Angela had yet to notice that Jason and Elizabeth were there and when she and Lucky had finally made it down the stairs she noticed.

Both of them noticed how they're exes were looking at them and they too stopped cold as well as Sonny and Alexis.

The mayor and Cruz took notice of the obvious odd situation that they all were in and tried to distract them, "Lucky let's go man! The party can't start without you!"

"You're right let's go!" He looked away from Elizabeth who at that sudden moment grew to realize how much it would bother her to see him with another woman.

He walked away, but Angela couldn't help, but still stare at the Jason's eyes that had guilt written all over them.

She desperately wanted to go back into his room and hide in a shell, but Lucky leaned towards her, "Come on, he chose her. You're with me now."

"You're right," she placed her hand on his cheek, but didn't kiss him for that would just be awkward.

As they walked towards the entrance Kristina noticed to who she thought was Sam, "Sam!"

She got out of her seat and hugged her, "No honey!" Alexis tried to prevent her from saying hi to Sam.

Angela looked down and missed Kristina's smile, "Hey! How are you?" she looked at her while keeping Alexis's face in the corner of her eye.

"I'm good, how come I haven't seen you lately?" Kristina asked not understanding that Angela was in fact not allowed to see her.

She looked at Alexis and already knew what to say, "Oh you know what sweetie I've just been really busy that's all."

"Oh… when am I gonna see you again? Do you think you could come over and we could go swimming in the lake?" Kristina asked as she held on to Angela's hand.

"I don't know, but just because I'm not around doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you," Angela said trying not to get the poor girls hopes up or her owns in thinking that she could still be friends with the girls she had helped raise.

"That's what mommy says too," Kristina said sadly.

"Kristina darling Sam has to go, you'll see her soon," Alexis lied for she had to get her away from her daughter.

"Ok bye Sam," she hugged her and Angela held on tightly for she realized this was probably going to be the last time she hugged her.

They walked out of the place with the press all over them now that Angela was being seen with the town's biggest hero.

"Is there a reason you're resigning?" The reporters asked.

"No comment!" The mayor shouted as she pushed them into the limo.
