Chapter 5
"Lisa Marie?" Luke asked walking up to her. She looked wary.
"Luke, what's going on?" Anna asked.
"Don't you see it Anna?"
Anna looked from Lisa Marie to Luke then to Robert. He nodded. Anna smiled sadly at Luke and went over to her husband. Robert, Anna, and Frisco left the room.
~~~
Jordan walked into her hotel room and sank down onto the sofa. She felt like screaming. She pulled the picture of her parents out of her purse and stared at it. She made a quick decision and left.
~~~
Robin stood up and began to pace the room. She mentally put the pieces together. It finally made sense. She smiled. Her phone rang and she went to answer it.
"Hello."
"Robin," came the young woman's voice.
"Where?" Robin asked.
"The apartment, make sure you aren't followed."
"I can be there in twenty minutes."
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
Robin put her phone away and turned to Liz and Gia, who hadn't said a word since Jordan made her announcement.
"I have to go, but I'll be back later," Robin said. She turned and left before either of then could utter a reply.
~~~
"Lisa Marie, do you know who I am?" Luke asked stopping a few feet away from her.
"You're Luke, Robert's friend."
"Lisa Marie, I'm also your father."
~~~
Alexis walked into Stefan's study at Wyndemere. He was standing at the window, brandy in hand.
"Stefan?"
He turned slighty. "Hello Alexis." She walked over to him.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Jordan and Elizabeta."
"Have you spoken to Jordan?"
"I tried, Helena has molded her to hate me."
"Keep trying."
"I can't."
"You have to, Stefan. At least you get this chance, I never got a second chance with my child."
~~~
Jordan paced the room. She was scared and nervous. She only hoped that her plan would work. She prayed that it would. It had to.
~~~
"Really?" Lisa Marie asked near tears.
"Yes, you are my daughter. We were told that you died. Robert told me what happened to the Knights and how close you were to them."
Lisa Marie looked down. "I loved them."
Luke walked over to her. She finally broke down and cried as he wrapped his arms around her.
~~~
Stefan faced Alexis. Her head was down.
"Alexis, you can't blame yourself for what Helena did," he told her. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes.
"I can't help it. If I hadn't of returned to the island I would have my child today."
She let her tears fall. Stefan smiled sadly and held her as she cried.
~~~
Lucky and Nikolas walked out of Laura's room and ran into Zander.
"Hey, I hear about your mother," Zander said. "Sorry."
"Thanks," Nikolas said as Zander's phone rang.
"Yeah. Is he dead? Damn. Hey, I can hope, can't I? I'll be waiting. Bye."
"Problems?" Lucky asked.
"No, not really," Zander said before he turned and walked away.
~~~
Robin drove aimlessly around Port Charles. She was being tailed and the person following was, at first, hard to spot, but she had seen them. She made a quick right turn, then a left and another right. She looked back. She couldn't see the car anymore. She smiled, and made another right.
~~~
Lucky and Nikolas walked into the waiting room to find Liz and Gia.
"Where's Robin?" Nikolas asked.
"She got a phone call and said she had to leave," Liz said, not mentioning anything about Jordan.
"Oh," Lucky said, sitting beside Liz. He noticed something in the chair beside him and picked it up. It was a bottle of medication. Robin's medication.
~~~
Stefan moved Alexis over to the sofa and they sat down. She continued to cry and he continued to comfort her. She finally cried herself to sleep. Stefan stood up and covered Alexis with a blanket that Mrs. Landsbury brought in.
He went back to his place at the window and thought about the day that Alexis lost her child. He had left her alone and Helena had gotten to her.
****FLASHBACK****
Stefan rushed to the south wing of the house. He stood outside Alexis's room and waited for the doctor. He thought that he'd heard a baby's cry, but it was just wishful thinking. After a few hours the doctor finally came out.
"Mr. Cassadine?"
"Yes, Dr, Lasiteris?" Stefan asked.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your cousin's baby boy died. She doesn't know because we had to sedate her. Do you want the nurse to tell..."
"No, I'll do it," Stefan said. Dr. Lasiteris nodded and left. A few minutes later a servant came out of the room with the baby. Stefan couldn't look at him. He took a deep breath and walked into the room.
Alexis was asleep on the bed. He smiled sadly and sat down beside her. He pushed a strand of hair out of her face which woke her up.
"Stefan?"
"I'm here Alexis."
"Where is my baby?"
Stefan looked at her. "Alexis, he died. Your son died." She looked at him with disbelief in her eyes.
"But I heard him cry, I know I did." Tears were pooling in her eyes. Stefan shook his head and held her as she mourned her child.
****END FLASHBACK****
Stefan sighed as he thought about that day. He had allowed Helena to do that by requesting that Alexis come to the island. In that sense, he felt that he had killed his nephew.
~~~
Robin walked into the small apartment and saw her friend pacing. She cleared her throat and smiled sadly as her friend turned around.
"Robin," she breathed a sigh of relief.
Robin saw the tears and walked over to her friend. Her hand suddenly went to her head and she stopped. Robin tried to shake off the oncoming headache.
"Robin?"
"I'm okay, I just need to sit down." Her friend helped her to the sofa.
"Are you sure you're okay?" She asked.
"I'm fine," Robin said nonchalantly. "You worry too much Jordan."
~~~
Lisa Marie pulled away from Luke and wiped the tears from her face. "Can we go?"
"Yeah, we can go Starshine," Luke said. She looked quizzically at him. He explained, "When you were born, I started calling you Starshine."
"Why?"
"When I left you mother's hospital room, Lucky, your older brother, and I walked out on the roof of the hospital. The stars were shining brightly as if they were helping you live. The doctors told us it would be a miralce if you did."
She smiled. "Oh." Together they walked out of the room.
~~~
"Lisa Marie?" Luke asked walking up to her. She looked wary.
"Luke, what's going on?" Anna asked.
"Don't you see it Anna?"
Anna looked from Lisa Marie to Luke then to Robert. He nodded. Anna smiled sadly at Luke and went over to her husband. Robert, Anna, and Frisco left the room.
