Emily walks into General Hospital, her purse slung over her left shoulder.
She was there for a checkup appointment since she was just recently let out
of the hospital. She heads past the nurses desk towards the direction of
Dr. Meadows office when she sees Nikolas out of the corner of her eye,
walking off the elevator. She stops walking and slowly looks over towards
him just as he turns to see her standing there.
Nikolas walks off the elevator, his head down and his hands in his pants pockets. He lifts his head and glances up when something catches the corner of his eye. He stops walking when he sees Emily standing there looking back at him.
He slowly slides his hands out of his pockets and smiles softly at her. "Emily."
"Hello Nikolas." Emily says as she walks over towards him. "What are you doing here?" she asks. She could feel the butterflies starting to form in her stomach just standing next to Nikolas.
"Oh, um. Just here to get some paperwork for the cancer fund." He says with a smile. He runs a hand over his hair and down the back of his neck. "Are you here for an appointment?" he asks her.
Emily smiles and nods her head. "Yes, you know. The checkup appointment to make sure that I am doing alright, even though I would know if I wasn't." she says with a smile and a small laugh. Why were they standing here talking as if they were distant friends?
Nikolas nods his head. "You know, since I was here I was going to go see Elizabeth. Would you want to go with me after your appointment?" he asks hopefully.
"Yes, I was going to go see her too. I'll just meet you out here afterwards." She says smiling. "She'll be happy to see us." She says. She reaches out to touch his arm but then drops her hand back to her side and turns and leaves him there as she walks down the hallway to Dr. Meadow's office. She takes a deep breath and slowly lets it out as she moves further away from him.
Nikolas watches her walk away and then turns and leaves himself, headed towards the Cancer Fund offices. He wished so badly that he could change what was going on with his life right now, but family came first. He sighs deeply and heads into the offices, shutting the doors behind him.
