"Rafe, why are we here?" asked Alison as they now sat on the steps of the Opera House. "It's not even sunrise yet, and the plane leaves in what-two hours? We're supposed to be there by now."
"Actually, it leaves in three hours. I wanted to just sit here and watch the sun rise. That's all."
"Well, we won't be able to see it, were not even facing the right direction."
"I just thought it'd be a nice idea to see the first sunrise of the first day of our new life as husband and wife."
"I think it's perfect," she said as she scooted over and into his arms, as they waited for the sun to rise on a new life.
-------
"Alright. I've taken a shower, shaved, sobered up some," said Frank as he looked in the mirror. "Now all I've got to do is finish cleaning up the Elixir," he said as he heard the doorbell. "Casey, I told you to give me some time and then I'll be back," he said as he went and opened the door. "Neil," he said with a look of surprise on his face.
"Hi dad."
"So what are you doing here? Where's your mom at?" he said looking around and not seeing Courtney anywhere around.
"She's still back home. She sent me here. Can I come in?"
"Sure," he said as he let him come in. "I bet you're hungry," as he went and opened the fridge to see nothing in there except a carton of milk. Taking it out he opened it to smell, "Whoo. That is really bad. Hey, why don't we go to the store and get some food. Then later we can go by and see Grandma Mary. How's that sound?"
"Sounds good," as the two left, Frank grabbing his cell phone to call and say he'd be arriving at the Elixir a little later than he planned.
-------
They had been waiting most of the day, but finally they heard footsteps up to the door. As it opened, Jamal jumped up and gave Imani a hug, "I was so worried about you. Are you ok? Did Paul come after you?"
"I'm fine," she said looking over at Medea, "I wasn't sure what to do, or where to go, but I figured I'd come back here first before I left. Jamal, you have to go back to Port Charles now. It's too dangerous now that he's back around."
"I'm coming with you."
"No, you can't," she said waiting for Medea to agree with her.
"Yes, he is," she said instead. "He knows the whole story now Imani-the entire truth. I think it'll be better if he goes with you, at least in the beginning."
"Really?" she said. "But what if I hurt you Jamal. What if when I turn the next time I attack you."
"I can take care of myself," he said with a laugh.
"Alright, then what are we waiting for?" she said as she looked at him and smiled.
------
"So how long will you be here this time? Just long enough to make him believe in you again, and then leave again so he can start imagining you? Hmmm, missy?"
"I'm here for good," she said, as she stood up to Reese.
"Casey, phone!" yelled Jack across the bar.
"Yo," she said answering the phone.
"Casey, I'm-uhm-you probably knew about this anyways," said Frank as he looked over to Neil sitting next to him. "Thanks for what you said earlier, you were right. I probably won't get over there in time to help anymore today."
"No problem. I'm sure Ricky will help out. Later man," she said hanging up the phone, then looking up and saying thank you.
----------
Rafe and Alison walked into the Elixir, happy to be back from their honeymoon. Alison stopped to talk to Jack, while Rafe decided to see Casey when he saw her standing next to Ricky and Reese. He walked up behind her and leaning down whispered in her ear, "I heard you were back in town."
She turned around, "Rafe! If it isn't the married old man himself. How'd you know I was back though?"
"Paige was our chauffer," he said with a grin. "So how was the old man upstairs?"
"He's good. Missing you like crazy still, but did you enjoy his wedding present?"
"Very much," he said as Alison came up behind him, and put her arms around her waist. "Hi, Casey," she said then nodding at Ricky, then at Reese.
"Bloody hell," said Reese, out of nowhere. "I can't believe I didn't figure it out earlier. It was you," she said pointing to Alison.
"Excuse me? I've been out of town for a week so I don't know what you could be blaming me for," she said as she started to get an attitude.
"No, my mom's new main squeeze. He's some rich guy who's got her living the high life in London. There was a picture of him, he has your eyes, and my mom started to say his last name. It was Bearing-something."
"I have my dad's eyes, but" she said stopping and looking at Rafe, "he's been dead for over a year now."
--------
"So the happy couple is back from their honeymoon?" smiled Caleb as he sat in his chair, with a drink in his hand. "I guess I better be one of the first to congratulate them," he said as he went to leave, and was stopped by Livvie.
---------
"Are they gone?" asked Chris, as he stuck his head around the corner with a sheepish grin on his face.
"Yes, they left about half an hour ago," she said rolling her eyes at him. "We've got another week or so to go on the sewing, and then we're done with the whole 'George' thing."
"Awww. And I was so enjoying it," he said coming up behind her and grabbing her by the waist.
"Really? Because I couldn't sleep the other night, and started doing some drawings--."
"Elizabeth, stop. Just stop, I was being facetious," he said as he let go of his grasp and backed away from her."
"Oh, alright," she said as her phone rang. "Elizabeth Barrington. What's wrong sweetie? Why do you want that? Alright, I'll get you one, and meet you at the Elixir. Just explain to me when I get there," she said hanging up the phone. "I'll be back in a little bit," she said giving Chris a quick peck on the cheek, and heading out the door.
"I've really got to start meeting people who aren't nutcases," said Chris as he sat down at the mini-lab and went to work.
---------
"Where were you headed to my love?" asked Livvie as she placed her hand on his face. She wanted to try her best, and make it work with Caleb. She loved him, and she knew he loved her too, but lately his mind had been preoccupied and it wasn't on her.
"I was heading out-that's all. I'll be back soon, I promise," he said giving her a kiss and trying to get out of the doorway.
"But, I was thinking," she said turning him around to face her. "We never did have our honeymoon, and maybe I could put on that little black negligee you asked me to pack," she said tilting her head sideways and flashing him a smile. He looked at her for a second, and figured that telling the slayer the truth could wait a few hours as he picked her up off her feet and over to the bed.
----------
"Alright, I'm here," said Elizabeth as she walked up to the couch where Alison, Rafe, and Reese now sat. She handed the picture to Alison, who looked at it, and then passed it to Reese.
"That's him. Without a doubt, that is the picture my mum had in her place."
"What's going on?"
"I've got a strange feeling, but I think Reese is my sister, and Malcolm Barrington is alive and well," said Alison as she looked at her mom.
