Chapter 50: Confession vs. Gossip

Author's Note:

What is the difference between a confession about someone and talking gossip about them. In truth both concepts aren't too different and after the episode the characters had with Lucky and Angela we're going to find out what the difference is. At least I think so. LOL. Don't forget to review!

Luke arrived at Milo's apartment, "Guys its Luke…"

Spinelli opened the door still recovering from his hangover, "Hi blonde one's father…"

Luke walked in and saw Dillon still passed out on the floor, "He's been like that for the last hour…" Spinelli said.

Luke walked over to pick him up and Dillon woke up, "What hap…." Dillon quickly rushed to the bathroom to throw up.

Spinelli closed the door, "I guess you'll be here for a while."

"Yeah unfortunately…" Luke said as he opened the bathroom door to help Dillon.

It was dark now and Milo was dressed in black as he moved around the perimeter looking for a way into Alcazar's house.

It was harder than he thought for the place was crawling with guards and the night was a full moon adding more light than he wanted.

He walked onto the patio and put his hand on the door, yes, it was unlocked.

He entered the living room and took out his map when he realized that there were no guards inside the living room.

From the work that Spinelli had done the jump drive was in a safe covered by a painting.

Well Alcazar only had one painting in his house and Milo smiled for it was easier than he thought, he made sure there were no trip wires and he carefully removed the painting.

Now he just needed to crack the code and open it.

Skye heard something downstairs and slowly walked down ot reveal someone robbing them.

Normally she would have stopped them, but she knew it was one of Sonny's men looking for the jump drive and he would find it there. She walked back up stairs with nothing to worry about for she trusted Sonny and Jason to take the necessary maneuvers to bring down the man that had betrayed her.

After they left Elizabeth was not as shaken up about it for she had seen them together numerous times just not like that, but Jason was still looking at the place where she used to be standing and a part of him realized that he actually missed her and maybe wanted her back.

Sonny looked at Elizabeth and could tell that she was hurt at the fact that it took him longer than her to get over of what just happened.

"Jason!" Sonny shouted trying to get him to snap out of whatever he was thinking.

In that moment Emily, Nicholas and Courtney and Spencer came in.

"Hey Elizabeth!" Emily shouted and she quickly grew aware that something big had just happened.

"Hey Jason!" Emily said for the second time she finally decided to touch his shoulder and he finally turned around.

"Hey Em…" he was about to say her full name until he peeked and saw Courtney.

"Sonny!" Courtney said and Elizabeth and Alexis looked at them like they were looking at a ghost.

"Hey Courtney!" Sonny cringed for no one else knew that she was still alive.

Mike stood there at the counter, "Court…Courtney Baby!" he ran to her.

"Hey dad!" she said breaking down at the same time as him.

He checked her out wondering how it could be true that she was alive, "How? I thought…"

"It's a long story, but I'd rather not talk about it now. I'm just so happy to see you again." She hugged him.

Alexis gave eyes to Nicholas that she was not only confused, but that they needed to talk about Angela and his brother.

Sonny shouted Lulu's name, "Can you come over here?"

Lulu who was working came around the corner, "Can you watch the kids here for a minute we all need to well you know," he hinted that they all needed to have a few minutes to talk.

"Sure," she sat down in Sonny's seat.

Jason quickly sprung up, "Courtney? Is it really you?" he said surprised to see an old face.

"Yeah it is." She said as they hugged.

"So what happened because last we all checked you were dead?" He said wondering how she could be standing in front of him right now.

"Well if you all must know, I was kidnapped by Helena and one day the FBI or CIA found the place and everyone was getting released so she and the people that worked for her could escape arrest. So once they got my statement they helped me back to the united States and here I am!" she happily said.

"Well I'm glad you got out…" Jason smiled.

"Me too and oh I here you're going to be a father!" she looked at Elizabeth as she walked over to them.

"Yeah!" Jason put his hand around Elizabeth.

"Well congratulations the two of you!" Courtney said as she really couldn't have been happier for them.

"Thank you!" Elizabeth said as she noticed Emily walking out to get a breath of fresh air.

"If you excuse me…Emily!" She walked off to find Emily.

"You two look happy," she said trying to encourage him that he had done good since the last time she left.

"Yeah…" he said realizing that he was happy with her even though Angela was with or even if she wasn't with Lucky that he had moved on and was proud of his choice.

"We are, now does Carly know you're back?" Jason asked because that was one of the things on his mind.

"No and neither does Jax. I'm not sure if I want to see them yet after what they did," she said talking about Jax and Carly keeping the baby from Nicholas.

"Well all I have to say is that I had no part in it," Jason said as he saw Sonny walking over to him.

"I'll catch up with you later Jason. Take care," she hugged him and turned around to see that Alexis and Nicholas were talking near the corner.

She picked up the baby and walked over to them.

"Are you sure it's her Nicholas?" Alexis asked still wondering how this was all possible.

"Sonny already did a back ground DNA test and I ran another two days ago. It's her. Now what has you so upset?"

"Sam…I mean Angela I just saw her walking out with you're brother and although it didn't seem to bother Elizabeth it totally bothered Jason and me," Alexis yelled.

Emily was sitting at a table far away from the entrance of Kelly's and she folded her hands in her face slightly crying.

"Emily?" Elizabeth walked out of the place.

"Oh Elizabeth" she looked up hating that Elizabeth had caught her crying.

"I have this feeling that she's going to break up my marriage again," Emily cried out.

Sitting in a chair across from her she tried to give her friend words of confidence, "No that's not going to happen."

"Yes it will. He will be with her for the baby, she's missed out on a year and he wouldn't even be with me if he hadn't thought that Courtney was never coming back."

"Emily he loves you. All they have is a child together, that's it," she tried to convince her once more.

Sonny and Jason walked down into the cellar from the basement of Kelly's, "Why didn't you tell me she was back?" Jason asked.

"Well I hadn't really found the time; I wanted to make sure it was her before I started to tell people that she was back. It's why I didn't call my dad either. I didn't want to get people hopes up," Sonny explained.

Mike walked down before Sonny could ask him about Angela, "Sonny I'm hurt that you didn't tell me she was back."

"I know dad… I just… I know how much you missed her and I didn't want to tell you without knowing for sure that it was her," he honestly said.

"Well thank you for looking out for me. So what did you all think about that episode back there, with Lucky and the mayor and Angela. I swear Lucky told me she was only staying with him for a couple of days to take care of him while he recovered from the plane crash," Mike explained but was totally angered that they had in ways ruined their night.

"Its ok Mike, you don't have to worry about it anymore right? Since it looks like he's obviously better. I'm sure that's why he took her out tonight as a sort of thanks now get lost kind of deal," Sonny said trashing her to see if Jason was going to defend her.

When he didn't jump the gun to defend Angela Sonny knew that this had not obviously affected Jason as much as he previously thought.

"Well I'm just sorry, I know how much that must have been hard for you Jason and not to mention Elizabeth," Mike said as he wanted to hear a response from Jason just as much as Sonny did.

"Well it was just a wake up call to be honest…" Jason laughed a little.

"Things are different now. I'm with Elizabeth and we're both finally happy. Sometimes something bad has to happen in order for something good to happen. I have to in a way thank her for the hostage crisis for if it hadn't happened I might not be with Elizabeth and I might not have the children that I have. Everyone has to move on, I did and it's natural that she does too. I just hope Elizabeth sees it my way and that it doesn't change Elizabeth's mind from letting Lucky see Cameron," Jason said with a straight face, but was thinking if he still needed to kill her.

"Yeah well hopefully it won't," Sonny said as he was surprised to hear the words that came from Jason's mouth.

"Well I'm gonna lock up shall we leave this place together?" Mike asked and Sonny and Jason nodded as they walked back up the stairs to Kelly's.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Well do you think he still has feelings for her?" Nicholas asked.

"I don't know it hit me that its time to move on I'm just worried for Kristina and Molly, how am I suppose to tell them that she's not they're sister anymore?" She said him in confusion.

"Well you might just not have to tell them, Kristina is still getting over her shooting a man if she finds out that Angela is not her sister and that she's a stranger it could really mess her up, have you talked to Dr. Winters?" he asked who had been helpful in helping Kristina once before.

"I have and she thinks I should just keep it quiet until she's older to understand," Alexis disagreeing.

"I have to say I agree…" He turned around and saw Courtney bringing Spencer.

"Nicholas he's getting fussy I think you should take him home." Courtney said for she didn't live at Nicholas's anymore as of today which is why she just said 'take him.'

"Ok, are you sure you don't want to stay with me for another night at Wyndemere?" Nicholas offered.

Courtney didn't want to come between Nicholas and Emily anymore than she already had so she thought it would be better if she just stayed at the metro court, "No its ok I need to go back to my room and prepare myself for Jax and Carly. I think I might see them tomorrow."

"Ok well I'll see you later than," he took the baby and she said goodbye to Sonny, Jason and Mike that had just come from the cellar.

Alexis watched her leave, "I tell you I'd pay to see that show…" she said sarcastically for she would like to see Carly get yelled at for how she convinced Jax to lie about the baby's paternity.

"Hey!" Nicholas said for he had forgiven Carly and Jax.

Courtney walked out and saw Emily upset which she knew had been brought on by her, "Emily?"

Emily looked away and Elizabeth looked at her like 'don't upset her anymore than she already is.'

"I don't want you to get the idea that just because I'm back that I expect or want Nicholas to leave you. I don't have any intentions of breaking up you're marriage again, alright?" She said as she touched Emily's hand trying to convince her.

"I just want to be a part of my son's life," Courtney said as Emily looked at her.

"Good because if you decide that you want to get back with Nicholas I won't go down with out a fight," Emily said now standing in front of her.

"Well I don't plan on it," she smiled wanting peace between them as she walked to her car.

"See I told you, she's not set on breaking you two up," Elizabeth tried to say convincingly.

Logan walked into Kelly's on crutches and saw Lulu with the 4 kids, "Hey Lu."

She ignored him as he sat next to her, "Who are these young fellows?"

"Hey!" Kristina looked at him, "I'm a girl!"

Lulu silently laughed, "I'm sorry who are these gentlemen and lady…" he realized that- that didn't sound any better.

She continued to ignore him and Michael thought it was funny, "Lulu he's talking to you."

"I know that Michael."

"Is she always like this around you guys?" Logan asked for the kids thought he was funny.

"Yeah!" Morgan said.

"No I'm not!" Lulu said laughing in disbelief.

"Oh we got her to talk!" Logan said as he waved his hand in front of them and Michael and Morgan gave him a high five.

"Michael and Morgan are Sonny's kids," she pointed to Sonny who was just coming up from the cellar with Jason.

"Kristina is Alexis's daughter," she pointed to her who was right next to her brother.

"And what about this little guy?" Logan looked over to Cameron who was smiling at him.

"This is Elizabeth's son Cameron; she's outside with my brother's wife Emily."

"And you're brother is?" Logan asked who that was someone else that Maxie had yet to inform him about.

"That's him over there, Nicholas. Alexis is his aunt and Sonny and her share a child together. Jason and him work together and Jason and Elizabeth live together and are expecting a baby," Lulu realized just how much information she was giving away.

"Jason the order stands…" Sonny said as he walked with Jason.

Jason looked at him and unfortunately knew that he had to kill her.

Jason walked over to Cameron, "Hey you ready to go?"

"Yeah!" He gave him a high five.

"Thanks Lulu, oh and who's this?" Jason asked for he didn't like strangers around the children, but because he was with Lulu he wasn't cautioned as much.

"Oh this is…" She didn't want to say friend because she wasn't friends with him.

"I'm Logan Hayes. I just got back from serving two tours in Iraq. I saved you yesterday…" Surprised that Jason didn't remember him he still stuck his hand out hoping that he had made nice with him for he wanted to work with Jason and Sonny.

Jason shook his hand, "Nice to meet you. Alright Cameron lets go find mommy, where is she?"

He asked him and Cameron didn't know, "Jason she's outside with Emily."

"Ok thanks Lulu," Jason picked Cameron up and walked outside with him.

"He's a pretty nice guy," Logan said wondering if Lulu could help him get a job to work for Sonny.

"Yeah he can be, but if you make him angry he'll make you pay," Lulu said quietly for Michael and Morgan looked up to him and she didn't want to belittle him in front of them.

"I see." Logan nodded.

Sonny and Alexis walked over, "Oh Lulu thanks for watching the kids, you know when Lucky walked in things got all crazy and then with Courtney well everyone needed to just break off and talk," Alexis said in gratitude.

"Whose you're friend Lulu?" Sonny asked.

"Oh he's not really my…" Lulu tried to tell people that they weren't friends and Logan just jumped on in trying to say that he was.

"I'm Logan Hayes. My friend, Cooper Beret and I saved you two the other day; we just got back from two tours in Iraq. So we're spending staying here until we get our papers saying we're out of the marines."

Sonny stopped for a second and thought, Beret? He looked at him, "Beret you say?"

"Yeah why?" Logan asked wondering what Sonny was thinking.

"Um here's my card, tell you're friend Cooper that I'd like to see him in my office tomorrow," Sonny demanded.

"Oh and what about me?" Logan asked for he didn't hear Sonny include him in as well.

"It was nice to meet you Logan." Sonny turned to his children.

"You ready to go! Alexis why don't you and the children stay over tonight you're house is on the other side of the city." Sonny suggested as he walked out with his kids.

Logan looked disappointed, "Sure…I'll tell him."

He got up from the table grabbing the card and Lulu could tell he was upset, "You're not going to help me clean up?"

He turned around, "I didn't think you wanted me too."

"Well why not? We are friends aren't we?" she joked since everyone assumed they were.

He laughed, "Well I guess we are, but only if you say thank you for saving your life yesterday in Kelly's when we heard gun shots."

"Well alright," she said as she walked over to him.

"Thank you for looking out for me," she said.

"Your welcome," he said.

"How does you're leg feel?" she asked as she walked up to the tables putting the plates away.

"Ok…How do you know Jason and Sonny?" Logan asked.

"Oh well my dad is a friend of there's and over the summer I got involved in something well I got kidnapped and they had to save me, but I'm not as good friends with Jason and Elizabeth as I used to be…" She finished piling up the dishes by the sink.

He hoped around to the table lifting the chairs, "What happened?" he asked already knowing what happened.

"Oh well my brother got involved with Maxie Jones because she was feeding him pills which was what he was addicted to after his addiction. Elizabeth went to Jason who was trying to deal with seeing his girl friend with his worst enemy. Elizabeth got pregnant, my brother got help and Jason and Sam got back together, her name is Angela now. So Elizabeth kept the real paternity quiet and the truth was exposed a month ago, everything changed…it's a mess." Lulu explained as she helped with the chairs.

"I see that's a lot of baggage…" he said for the damn town sounded like a soap opera.

"Yeah so that's how I'm connected to all of it Lucky is my brother so you see…" she said as she washed off the tables.

"You want more help? I can wash dishes…" he offered for that was a lot easier less stressful on his body.

"You don't have to," she smiled for he didn't have to do that, he was no kidding trying to impress her and it was working.

"I don't mind," he smiled at her as he walked passed her.

"Ok…" she nodded.

Thirty minutes later they were done.

She grabbed her purse and kissed him on the cheek, "thank you so much for helping! Do you need help getting up to you're room?"

"I got it covered…" he said for it was worth helping her just to see that smile of hers.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So Lucky I think you have a real future in law enforcement moreover crime solving…" The mayor said to him, but he wasn't interested in talking about his career he was more focused on where Angela was.

"Um excuse me mayor…" he walked up from the table and made his way to the restrooms.

She was the only one in the bathroom thank god as she threw up in the toilet; she didn't understand why she was feeling like this. Was it the thought of finally realizing that Elizabeth and Jason were together? Was it the look he gave her? Did she have food poisoning? She hadn't eaten anything all day, not even the breakfast that Lucky had set up for her, she wasn't even hungry. Could it be the flu or could it be…no she thought to herself it couldn't be that.

Walking out of the stall she splashed some water on her face, "What is wrong with you?" she asked herself.

Lucky walked near the woman's restroom and heard a woman throwing up, he peeked through the door and saw that Angela was the only one in their.

"Angela!" he came to her rescue as she started to fall to the ground from being sick.

She didn't want him to know she was in here doing this.

"Are you ok?" He said as she was now relying on him to keep her up straight.

"I don't know I don't feel very go…" she ran back to the toilet.

Lucky tried to think what could have sprung this on, they hadn't had dinner yet and the most she had probably eaten all day was a sandwich from Kelly's so he could rule out food poisoning. Maybe it was the flu? But flu season was almost over and she'd been in his room the past couple of days. Or it could be Jason, seeing him with Elizabeth it almost made him want to vomit.

He walked over to her and held her hair back, "Tell me what's bothering you?"

"I don't know. I haven't eaten…" she got sick again.

"Anything today…" she finished.

"Oh Lucky I've ruined everything. You're dinner with the mayor, our night, you're big celebration."

"I'm going to take you home," he said completely ignoring what she was saying for all he could think about was her.

"No you go ahead I'll feel much worse if you don't have fun tonight." She said trying to keep her composure.

"And I'll feel miserable knowing that something is wrong with you and I'm not there to help you get through it." He said sweetly touching her face.

"Come on, you think you can stand up?" he asked wondering if she would be able to splash some water on her face before they would leave.

"I think so," she said as she tried to move and he helped her.

"Here let's go to the sink," he slowly brought her over.

He took his handkerchief out of his pocket and run it under water, "here how does that feel?"

"good…" she closed her eyes and then started to faint.

"It's ok I've got you…" he picked her up, panicked now that she definitely needed to get back to his room.

"I've got you…" he said again as he carried her out the bathroom and pushed open the exit door which was located right next to the bathrooms.

It was cool and breezy out and he walked to the front of the restaurant carrying her.

He saw the valet guy, "I need a cab."

"Ok," he was distracted from the woman the man was carrying.

Seconds later a cab showed up and the valley man opened the door for him and hen entered the cab.

"I need you to take me to Kelly's as fast as you can…" he instructed the driver.

Almost immediately after they left Lucky called the mayor and lied to him saying that he suddenly felt sick from food poisoning and had to leave. The mayor didn't care what he said and that they would do it another time when he was better.

When they arrived to his room he gently put her on his bed, "Angela…its Lucky…" he tried to wake her.

"Lucky…" she started to wake up.

"Do you want me to undress you?" Lucky asked knowing that whatever was going on with her had made it impossible for her to do anything herself.

"yeah," she nodded.

She passed out again and after he took his shirt and pants off leaving just his boxers he grabbed one of his night shirts and put it next to her.

He then went on taking her earrings off and then he unzipped the dress from the back slowly sliding it off.

With his eyes closed he unhooked her bra and then faced her away from him as he put his shirt on her.

He brought her more onto the bed with more pillows to comfort her and then he thought about what else he needed to get her.

He looked for a bucket so she could throw up in if she felt she needed to, but realized he didn't have one in his room so he went down stairs to find one.

Walking down stairs he saw a small light on in the kitchen and saw a blonde hair boy looking for something to eat.

"Sorry, am I being loud?" Logan whispered.

"No I'm just looking for a bucket and some Pepto-Bismol, sometimes Mike keeps stuff like that back here." He said as he walked to a cabinet.

Logan nodded and then realized that he had some Pepto-Bismol.

"What do you need it for?" Logan whispered again.

"My girl friend isn't feeling to well and I wanted to have something in case she woke up needing it.

"Well I have some Pepto-Bismol if you want it?" Logan said as Lucky turned around with a bucket in his hand.

"Sure that would be great," he smiled at him and Lucky grabbed a glass of water and followed him up to Logan's room.

He put the bucket near her bedside and water on the little table next to the bed and then walked back to Logan's room.

"Here you go." Logan handed it to him.

"Ok thanks, I'll be sure to put in a good word for you to Lulu," Lucky winked.

"Thanks." They both walked back into they're rooms and Lucky placed the medicine on his desk as he plopped right next Angela on the bed ready to be there for her whenever she needed him.
