Chapter 1: Trials
Port Charles, New York
February 14th, 2003
Spencer Residence
4:30 P.M.
21 year-old Lucky Spencer entered his home with a grim look on his face.
"Honey, I'm home! cried Lucky as his wife emerged from the kitchen.
"Hi dear, how was work?" asked Liz Spencer as she hugged him and gave him a kiss.
"Where's my son?"
"Luke is sleeping. What's wrong?" she asked, noticing his grim expression.
"I've got good news and bad news."
"What's the good news?"
"They just announced when Helena's trial is."
"That is good news. What's the bad news?"
"It's when you, me, Nik, Em and the others are supposed to have our celebration dinner for your 5 years of being a rape survivor."
"Tonight? That is bad news."
"I know. I called Nik and Em and they're canceling our reservations and booking them for a later date. They said they would call Juan, Sherry, Jamal and Allison."
"Okay, so they're going to the trial then, right?"
"Yup."
"What about Luke?"
"Betty is going to watch him. I went to her house and asked her if it was okay. She said it was fine."
"Thank goodness for Betty. Lucky?"
"What Elizabeth?"
"I have something to tell you."
"This better not be something that has to do with Jerry Springer." Liz laughed.
"No, it has to do with us," she said as she held him tight. "We're pregnant."
"We are?" he asked. She nodded.
"YAHOO!" he yelled and swung her around in his arms. "How far along are you?"
"A few months. 3 I think. Lucky?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you Lucky."
"I love you too Elizabeth."

Wyndemere
4:35 P.M.
Nikolas Cassidine hung up his cell phone and turned to his wife.
"Well Em, looks like it's the Four Musketeers again. Juan, Sherry, Jamal and Allison aren't going to the trial."
"Thank the Good Lord that Helena will be locked away forever," said Emily as she held Nikolas in a hug, carefully placing a hand on her slightly round belly. Emily and Nikolas were going to have their daughter next month.
"Amen," said a voice. Mrs. Lansbury came into view. "Mr. Cassidine, the trial starts at 5:00. You should leave now."
Nikolas nodded and he and Emily put on their coats and headed for the launch.
* * *
5:00 P.M.
The Port Charles courtroom was buzzing with excitement as the citizens, the press, and media gathered in the large courtroom. Lucky, Liz, Nik, Em, and the Spencer family sat in the first two rows. Helena entered with her lawyer and sat in the defense area. Luke snickered as Helena walked past their group. Laura playfully hit his knee while Nikolas uncomfortably shifted in his seat. Emily looked up at her husband.
"Are you okay Nikolas?" she asked.
"I feel guilty that my grandmother is going to jail."
"Honey, Helena did some bad things. That's how your family is. Of course, you aren't like them at all," Emily said as she held onto his hand.
"Neither is Alexis."
"Someone mention me?" asked the very pregnant 35 year-old attorney as she and her husband Ned Ashton and Jasper and Chloe Jacks sat in the row behind Nik and Em.
"Nik was just saying that he feels guilty Helena is going to jail," said Em.
"Hey guys," said Lucky. "Liz and I are pregnant again!" The Spencer family, Nik, Em, Alexis, Ned and Chloe and Jax cheered.
"It's about time I started getting more grandchildren!" yelled Luke. Laura hit him again and 8 year-old Lulu hugged Lucky.
"Everyone?" said the Bailiff. "We are ready to begin. This court is now in session. All rise. Preceding over the People vs. Helena Cassidine case is the honorable Judge Susan Welsh." The judge entered and everyone sat down.
"Let the trial begin. Ms. Jensen, your opening statements please..."

Port Charles International Airport
Gate #32
6:00 P.M.
21 year-old Sly Eckert stretched as he and his girlfriend got off their plane.
"Wow. Who ever thought flying 6 hours round trip from California to New York could be so tiring?" asked Sly.
"I did," said 18 year-old Faith as she set down her duffel bag on a chair. She groaned as she removed her sock and shoe and rubbed her foot. "Well, Romeo, this wasn't exactly what I had in mind when you said 'luxurious plane ride'."
"How was I suppose to know that we would be stuck in Chicago due to a storm?" he asked.
"Maybe if you watched the weather report once in a while," said Faith. Sly rolled his eyes.
"Okay, okay, don't get too sarcastic," he replied.
"Come on, let's get our stuff," said Faith. They held hands and walked to the baggage claim. Then they headed for 321 Harbor View Rd...

321 Harbor View Rd.
8:00 P.M.
"Boy, I'm beat," said Ned as he and Alexis entered the Gatehouse. "Hmm, that's funny. I could have sworn I locked the door when we left." He stopped as he entered the Living Room.
"Why are the lights on, Ned?" asked Alexis.
"I thought I turned them off," he replied. Just then, Faith came out from the kitchen in a purple dress with her back towards Ned and Alexis.
"I want no burnt on my Grilled Cheese Sly!" Faith yelled as she turned around. She gasped. "Mama! You're home early!" Faith cried.
"Faith? Oh my gosh! I forgot you were coming!"
"Mama?" asked a confused Ned. Alexis and Faith grinned as they hugged.
* * *
"So let me get this straight. Faith, you're my wife's biological daughter by Stefan and her, right?" asked Ned. Faith nodded. Sly came in with Grilled Cheese for everyone and Ned shook hands with Sly.
"Stefan and I thought that we were VERY distant cousins. Then we decided that it was right for us to conceive a child because we were very much in love. So we made love and before I knew it, I was pregnant with Faith," said Alexis.
"Wow," said Ned. "That's amazing."
"Yup," said Faith. "Sly, let's go to bed. I start school tomorrow anyways." Sly nodded.
"Right . Goodnight Ned and Alexis."
" 'Night," they replied. Faith and Sly headed up the stairs and went to their room.
"Sly?" asked Faith as she put on some music.
"Yeah?"
"Dance with me." A new song came on the radio as they held each other and they started to sway to the music.
Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day
It's as if I play a part
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
"Sly? It's our song."
"Yup, it sure is."
"Hold me Sly."
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will My reflection show
Who I am inside
I am now in a world where I can have to hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
"I love you Sly."
"I love you too Faith," said Sly as he kissed her gently on the lips. Faith returned the kiss and they were lost in the moment. Sly removed his shirt and Faith undressed.
"Are you sure about this?" Sly asked.
"I'm sure. I've been ready since you first declared your love to me," said Faith. Then they started to make love.
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show?
Who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel?
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
They soon fell asleep in each other's arms.
