Chapter 2: The morning after Ned saw Sasha and Helena on the docks.

Outside of Alexis' apartment. Ned walks off the elevator and heads to her door, he puts his hand up to knock and then stops.

Ned: (to himself) "What am I supposed to tell her? That the daughter she thought was dead is alive?"

Ned shakes his head, she has to know, he thought. He puts his hand up and knocks on her door. Alexis opens the door, she is dressed in sweat pants and an oversized men's dress shirt. Her hair is up in a messy ponytail and her glasses are on. Ned looks at her and smiles, he has always liked it when she dressed-down.

Alexis: (surprised) "Ned! Hi, what are you doing here?"

Ned: "I have to talk to you, are you busy?"

Alexis: "Just working on some cases. Please come in"

Alexis waves Ned into her apartment.

Alexis: "What's up?"

Ned: (serious) "I have something to ask you, and you need to answer me truthfully."

Alexis (worried) "Okay..."

Ned: "Did you ever have a child?"

Alexis: (completely shocked by what he is saying) "Ned, where would you get an idea like that? I have no idea what your talking about."

Alexis starts to walk away from him, but he grabs her and holds her shoulders.

Ned: "Alexis, don't lie to me. You said that you would answer me truthfully. Now tell me, did you ever have a child?"

Alexis: (softly, in an almost whisper) "How do you know about that?"

Ned: (forceful) "Alexis, answer me!!"

Alexis: "Ned... Yes, I had a child. But she died. Now, how do you know about her?"

Ned: "Was her name Sasha?"

Alexis: (shaken) "How did you know that?"

Ned: "Alexis... I want you to calm down and listen to me. Can you do that?"

Alexis nods and Ned leads her over to the couch and sits down with her.

Ned: "I was walking on the docks and I saw Helena talking to a young girl. Helena called her Sasha and she called Helena grandmother. I overheard their conversation and during the course of it, it came out that you were her mother."

Alexis: (crying) "I thought she was dead, when I had her the doctors told me that she was dead..."

She puts her face in her hands and cries while Ned pulls her into a tight embrace. Alexis' tears soon stop and she pulls away from Ned and gets up from the couch and starts to pace.

Alexis: "You saw her right? Is she ok?"

Ned: "She looked fine Alexis."

Alexis: "Oh my God, Ned, you have to take me back to where you saw her, I have to see her."

Ned: "Alexis calm down. There's something else I have to tell you."

Alexis: "What is it?"

Ned: "She was talking to Helena, and Helena didn't like it that she knew about you. Helena told her that you were dead and she had her men take Sasha back to Greece."

Alexis: "Helena? Helena raised my child! Oh my God Ned."

Alexis starts to cry again and Ned pulls her into a hug.

Ned: "She's okay Alexis. I saw her."

He decides to leave out the part where he saw what Helena's men did to Sasha.

Ned: "She's strong Alexis, just like you. If you survived Helena Cassadine, so can she."

Alexis: "You said she came here to find me, right?"

Ned: "That's what it sounded like to me."

Alexis: "And Helena made her go back to Greece?"

Ned: "Yes."

Alexis: "Then I have to go. I have to find my daughter. She's alive Ned, I have to go to Greece and find her, I have to go back to the island."

Alexis gets out of Ned's arms and starts to go upstairs.

Ned: "Where are you going?"

Alexis: "I have to pack and then I have to call the jet."

Ned: "Alexis, you have to think about this calmly. You go pack a bag and we will take the ELQ jet to Greece."

Alexis: (surprised) "We?"

Ned: "Yes, we. If you are going to Greece to find your daughter, then I am going with you."

Alexis smiles and runs to hug Ned.

Alexis: "Thank you"

Ned: "Your welcome." He kisses her on the top of her head. "Go pack, I will be back in an hour."

Alexis smiles and runs upstairs. Ned looks after her.

Ned: "I hope that Sasha is ok."
