The Asking Price
Tracy's last comment made Skye's blood boil. What right did she have to say that to her? She didn't know anything about her or her relationship with Jax or her child. Skye threw Tracy a look of disbelief, "What did you
just say?"
"Oh, good grief, I said that Gretal Rae............."
"Yeah, Tracy I got that part, what did you say about my child?"
"Oh, that part."
"Tell me what you said" Skye demanded
"You're spawn will never be a Jacks."
"My child has just as much chance at being a Jacks as he does being a
Cassadine, both you and I know that."
"Yes, but why would you want to marry Jax?"
Skye sighed and then answered honestly, "Because I love him."
"Well, that much I believe, but why would you being willing to let Jax
raise a child that wasn't his?"
"Jax wants children and this child just might belong to him, And if I told him the truth, he'd leave me, so I left first, I realized that to marry Jax would be wrong and giving you the money to keep your mouth shut about that
night with Stefan would only get me in more trouble."
"What do you plan to do, If this child is Jax'? He's not going to want you
because of the fact that you were unfaithful."
"My God Tracy, you make it sound like I had a soared affair with Stefan
when in reality it was just one night." Skye voice was thick with anger
"Is that your justification Skye? It was just one night. You weren't drunk,
you sure as hell weren't raped, what's your reason Skye?"
"That's what this is about, you want to know why I turned to Stefan." Skye got up and walked over to the patio doors, glancing out at the garden as
Tracy continued her story.
"Yes, I happened to be in the right place at the right time. I was visiting
Wyndmere that night and I seen you enter with Stefan, you too headed upstairs and then I remember reading the engagement in the paper and then after I found out you were pregnant, I did some math and came up with this.
So why don't you tell Aunt Tracy what happened?"
"Jax and I had a fight, I was upset, I was angry, I wanted revenge. I was walking on the docks and I seen Stefan, we had only me once before, he reintroduced himself, he started talking and somehow we ended back up at
Wyndmere. He said he didn't want to take advantage and I said that he wasn't, that it was what I needed, what I wanted. After it was all over, I
left and went back to the lakehouse, I was going to pack my things and leave, but Jax came in the bedroom, he knocked the suitcase off the bed and
pushed me onto the bed, one thing led to another and we ended up having
sex."
Skye stood against the french doors, gazing out towards the garden but all
her eyes seen were images of that night, with Stefan and then Jax.
"So that's how you fell into this little scheme, because you and Jax had a fight and instead of working things out, you ran to the comfort of another man's arms, well, Skye you truly are a Quartermaine, you're a lover, not a
fighter."
"Is that a comment or an insult?"
"At least you know, you're a true, blood boiling Quartermaine."
"Tracy, I don't want to go another round with you about my child's
paternity so, why don't you come along to the doctor with me on my next
visit and we'll test the DNA."
"Alright dear, but what are you going to do when everyone shows up here looking for you and asks why you ran out on your wedding? Are you going to
tell them the truth or are you going to lie a little bit longer?"
Skye turned around to face her, "I'm going to get the hell out of here now, and I suggest you do the same, unless you would like to stay and explain to everyone what has happened and then Grandfather can throw you out of the
house yet again."
"Well, may I suggest that you ditch the dress and put something else on?"
"Thank you, Tracy I never thought of that" Skye's voice was dripping in
sarcasm.
"And the five million?" Tracy asked
"What about it, you sure as hell don't think I'm going to pay you know,
when I'm willing and ready to tell Jax what happened".
"You certainly changed your mind fast enough, didn't you?"
"I've decided, and rather quickly I might add, that you are not worth five
million dollars."
"You know this little game goes both ways right?"
Skye arched an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
"I could tell Stefan about the whole ordeal and he and Jax will fight over
the child to the bitter end."
"You don't think they would fight over me?"
"It's always a possibility, but my guess is that you'll end up with Stefan. Do you honestly think that you'll be welcomed in this house after you give
birth to a Cassadine?"
"Why do you keep saying that? You act like you already know who the father is, and no matter what you say, I know you don't, so don't even try it."
Skye warned.
