Chapter 6
Carly walked out of the penthouse and saw Riley waiting for the elevator.
"Hey," Carly said.
Riley looked up and smiled. "Carly."
"Sonny told me about your daughter."
Riley nodded and gave Carly a sad smile as the elevator doors opened and Alexis and Kristina stepped into the hallway.
"Hello Alexis," Riley said.
"Riley," Alexis smiled. "This is Kristina, my sister, Kristina, this is Riley. She was Nikolas's fiancee'."
Riley and Kristina exchanged greetings before Riley and Carly stepped onto the waiting elevator.
Minutes later, they were walking on the docks, neither saying anything. Carly finally broke the silence.
"What happened to Lena's father?"
Riley looked at her. "I don't know. After he found his real father, he basically dropped off the face of the earth, but I followed his younger sister. She lived here in Port Charles a few years ago, before she moved to Europe. A few months later, she disappeared too."
"Did he even know that you were pregnant?"
"No, he..."
"Riley," Nikolas said, "Carly."
"Nikolas, what's going on?" Riley asked.
"I need to talk to you."
~~~
Helena smiled and continued to sip her port as she thought about hte provisions to her plan.
"Andreas," she called out.
"Yes, Madame," Andreas asked walking into the stateroom.
"Call Irina, instruct her to come here."
~~~
Jason walked into Kelly's and went ot the counter where Elizabeth was taking orders.
"Coffee," he said. She nodded and poooured him the cup as the cafe door opened and Robin and Zander walked in.
Jason got his coffee and turned around to leave accidentally bumping into Zander on his way out.
"Zander," he said coldly. He glanced at Zander's companion. "Robin?"
~~~
"What about Nikky?" Riley asked.
"Some old friends," Nikolas said.
Riley looked at him curiously before turning to Carly. "I'll meet you at Kelly's in a few minutes?"
Carly nodded. "Yeah sure."
Once Carly was out of earshot, Riley turned back to Nikolas. "Who?"
"I ran into Zander last night. He's here in Port Charles." Riley walked over to the bench and sat down.
"Why is he here?"
"He said for family business."
"You don't believe him," Riley noted.
"I never did. I also warned him to stay away from you. If you want Riley, I'll put some guards on you, Zander won't be able to get near you."
She looked up at him. "No, I have Jason's guards. Besides," she said standing up, "I'll have to face him sometime."
Nikolas nodded.
"Thanks for the warning, but you really need to stop trying to take care of me."
"Force of habit," he said.
"Well, break it. Bye Nikolas." She turned and walked towards Kelly's.
~~~
"Hello Jason," Robin said.
"What are you doing here?" Jason asked.
"I came to visit my family," Robin said. "Not that it matters to you." Just as she finished, the door opened and Carly walked in.
"You want to go somewhere else?" Zander asked his sister.
"No, he's not chase me out of here."
"He may not, but I will," Carly said as she stood beside Jason.
"Carly," Jason warned.
"Hello Carly," Robin said. "Have you had any more..."
"Robin," Zander warned as Riley walked in and walked to Jason before turning to face the siblings.
"Zander," she said coldly.
"Hello Riley, it's been a while. We should talk some time," Zander suggested.
"Go to hell. Besides, Nikolas already warned to you stay away."
"Do you honestly think that I'm scared of the Cassadines?"
"You sure ran like hell when you found out that I grew up on Cassadine Island," she noted.
"That was not my decision, Riley."
"Like I care." She turned to Carly. "You want to get out of here?"
Carly glared at Robin. "Sure"
Jason just stood there and watched them walked out while he looked at Zander and Robin.
"So you must be Lena's father," he paused, "stay the hell away from Riley. Robin." He moved past them and walked out of the resturant.
"Well that was interesting," Robin said as she sat down at a nearby table. "Zander?" She asked when he didn't say anything.
"I'm going to go back to the hotel, I'll meet you there later," he said before leaving as well.
Robin sighed.
~~~
Riley and Carly left Kelly's. Carly didn't say anything as she followed Riley to Luke's. Once inside Carly ordered them both a drink and she led Riley to a booth. Unknowingly it was right next to Luke's office.
"So what's you problem with Zander Smith?" Carly asked.
"His last name isn't Smith, at least not anymore," said Riley, avoiding the question.
"Okay, care to explain?"
Riley smiled slightly. "The woman who was with him..."
"Robin Scorpio."
"Well, he's her older brother. They have the same father." As she said this Luke walked out of his office but stood in the shadows and listened to the conversation.
"That's revolting," Carly said. Riley laughed.
"You really don't like Robin, do you?"
"Put it this way, I hate her as much as you hate her brother."
"Well, we do have something in common," Riley said with a smile.
Carly laughed. "So what's your problem with Zander?"
"You never give up do you?" Riley asked Carly.
"Never, Sonny can attest to that."
Riley laughed. "Well, Zander is Lena's father."
"I guessed that much," Carly said. "So what's the story?"
"Well, we met in Athens and had a fling. He said that he loved me, at least until he found out that I lived with the Cassadines. He left for Canada, I followed him and he officially broke it off."
"Bastard," Carly muttered.
"Yeah, anyways, a few months later, Helena informed me that Zander had found his father, Robert Scorpio. She figured out that Zander was my child's father, you know the rest."
"Yeah," Carly said softly.
RIley smiled sadly. "And to whoever is standing behind me listening, you can come out now. And judging by the way you're lurking in the shadows back there, I'm guessing that you're Luke Spencer."
Carly gauked at her new friend as Luke came out of the shadows.
"How'd you do that?" He asked.
"Practice," she said. "Anyway, I need to get to the store, I told Jase that I'd fix dinner."
~~~ A few hours later
Jason walked into the penthouse. He walked over to the dining room table where she had set the dinner out. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her and laid his head on her shoulder.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey, what happened today?"
"It was nothing, I called Stefan and he's going to take care of it."
"Oh," he said. "What are you fixing?"
"Something," she said turning to face him, a mischevious smile on her face. He brought his lips down to hers and gave her a passionate kiss.
He pulled away and looked into her eyes, she nodded. He lifted her up in his arms and carried her up the stairs to the bedroom where he laid her on the bed.
He straddeled her legs and leaned down and kissed her again as he began to unbutton her blouse.
Carly walked out of the penthouse and saw Riley waiting for the elevator.
"Hey," Carly said.
Riley looked up and smiled. "Carly."
"Sonny told me about your daughter."
