Chapter 2

Everyone looked from Jordan to Helena then back to Jordan. Helena and Jordan smiled at the looks on their faces. They both stood and left the table. Stefan and Alexis were too shocked to go after them.

~~~
Lucky and Liz walked into Kelly's and sat down. She just smiled sadly at him and held onto his hand. She knew all about what had happened to Lisa Marie. She had only lived six days before her heart gave out. She had been born three months premature. The Spencers had been told that it would be a miracle if she survived. Laura blamed herself no matter how much Lucky, Nikolas, and Luke tried to convince her that it wasn't her fault.
It was hard on Lucky as well. He had never been able to see her after she was born. Every year though he found some baby's breath and placed them on Lisa Marie's grave. For the past few years, Liz had gone with him on these trips to be his support.

~~~
Laura hung up the phone and sighed. Amy needed her help, again. Didn't she know what the day was? Shaking her head, Laura grabbed her purse and keys and walked out of the house.
A few minutes later she was headed to her sister's apartment. Suddenly a car ran a red light. Laura tried to stop but someone had cut her brake lines.
Laura welcomed the darkness as it overcame her when the other car hit hers.

~~~
Luke downed a glass of vodka and sat wearily in his chair. Every year it was the same. Even though he and Laura were divorced they still had this day. He looked at the picture of his family on his desk and let his tears fall.

~~~
Bobbie Spencer sighed as she went to the nurse's station. She knew what the day was and wanted to be there for her brother, but she had to work.
"Bobbie, we got two comin' in. Head-on collision. ETA two minutes." Bobbie rushed to the ambulance and help the doctor with the new arrivals. She quickly looked over the first and deciding that he had no life threatening injuries she went to the woman and went pale. It was Laura.

~~~
"What just happened here?" Nikolas asked.
Stefan didn't hear him. He was thinking back to a time sixteen years before and a girl who was in love. He remembered her jet black hair and blue eyes. She had the most beautiful smile that made her eyes light up. Not wanting to go back to that time, Stefan stood up and left the table.
Alexis, Nikolas, and Gia stared after him. Nikolas' cell phone rang.
"Nikolas Cassadine. Tell Bobbie we'll be right there." He turned to Gia. "Laura was in an accident. She's at GH." They both stood and left.
Alexis just shook her head and wondered what the hell was going on.

~~~
Stefan left the Grille and went back to Wyndemere. He went to one of the storage rooms and found the trunk that he was looking for. He opened it and pulled out several photos taken years before.

~~~
Nikolas and Gia found Lucky and Elizabeth waiting for them in the ER waiting room. They all embraced and sat down together. Luke came in a few minutes later and found them. Together they waited for someone to tell them what had happened.

~~~
Helena and Jordan boarded the yacht and sat down. A servant walked in.
"Madame, Ms. Markson, Laura Spencer's accident went as planned." They both smiled.
"Thank you Ari, your services will not be required tonight, my granddaughter and I have many things to discuss." Ari nodded and left the room.
"'Accident?'" Jordan asked.
"It was only a small cut in the brake line," Helena said smiling. Jordan smiled to as they toasted to the destruction of the Spencers, once and for all.

~~~
Stefan found the pictures that he was looking for. They were of him and a young woman.
She had jet black hair and baby blue eyes. She could pass for Jordan's twin. Stefan let out a weary sigh and leaned against the wall and let himself cry as the memories washed over him.

~~~
Helena and Jordan were still drinking port when Helena chaged the subject.
"You know Jordan, today is the sixteenth anniversary of Lisa Marie Spencer's death."
"I know."
"And to think that soon we will be celebrating a resrrection!"
"Yes, we will. How much longer?"
"Oh, the worthless Dr. Lasteris say another month."
"Then we shall wait a month."
"No, we need something to distract the Spencers now."
"And what would that be?"
"The past."

~~~A few hours later
Luke, Lucky, Liz, Nikolas, Gia, and Leslie all sat in the waiting room of the ICU. Laura'd had a severe head injury that put her in a coma. They didn't know when or if she would wake up. Tony was optomistic about her condition, but they couldn't ignore the facts. If Laura didn't wake up soon. she might never wake up.
Luke suddenly stood up and left.

~~~
Jordan walked into the ICU and walked purposefully down the hall towards the waiting room. She saw them all sitting there waiting for information about Laura. She laughed at the sight as she realized how truly ironic the entire situation was.
A noise behind her brought her out of her thoughts. She whirled around to see Stefan.

~~~
Helena walked into the dimly lit room and went over to the young woman. She seemed afraid and Helena laughed at that fear. Helena sat on the bed, just inches away from the woman.

~~~
Mac Scorpio pulled up in front of his home and got out of his car. He was tired mentally and physically. His trip to Pive Valley to see Robin and Anna has left him happy and hopeful. He only wished that Robert could be there too.
He walked into the house and was greeted by the laughter of his wife and daughters. He smiled sadly and walked into the kitchen.
Felicia and the girls were sitting around the kitchen table working on some project. Mac couldn't decifer what it was.
Felicia looked up at him and smiled sadly. She saw the pain in his eyes and she knew that he was thinking about Robert. She stood up and walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him. Nothing needed to be said. There were no words that seemed right.
The doorbell rang and Maxie hurried to answer it.

~
Maxie opened the door to reveal Luke.
"Hello, Mr. Spencer," she said smiling.
"Hi Maxie, whatta I have to do to get you to call me Luke?"
"Okay, Luke, 'whatta' you need?"
"I'm lookin' for Bubba. Is he here?"
"Yeah, sure, he just got home." She moved out of the way so Luke could come in. After she closed the door she went to get Mac from the kitchen.
"What is it Luke?" Mac asked.
"I need to know what I have to do to prove that Helena tried to kill Laura."

~~~
"Stefan," Jordan said trying to move past him. He wouldn't let her go, instead he handed her a picture before turning on his heel and leaving.
She looked at the picture. It was of her real mother and Stefan. Tears filled her eyes. She turned the picture over. Stefan had written her a message.

'Don't believe everything Helena tells you. You would know your mother now if Helena hadn't killed her. Love, your Father, Stefan.'

~~~
"Do you think that Helena was responsible for Laura's accident?" Felicia asked coming out of the kitchen.
"I know she is. The brake lines in her car were cut. Laura and I have a lot of enemies, but all of them are dead except Helena."
"I'll see if there is anything in the police report. I didn't know anyhting about this until now, but I'll pick up the case tomorrow," Mac said.
"Visiting Anna?" Luke asked.
"How did..."
"Long story. Look I hafta get back to the hospital..." His cell phone rang. "Spencer." He was silent a minute. "Meet me there in ten." He hung up. "If you find anything call me." He walked out of the house.
Felicia watched him leave. "He's up to something."
"And it doesn't sound good," Mac finished.
