Father Figure

The Continuation to GENERAL HOSPITAL: The Next Generation...

Paige was starting to get bored so she began to look around the room when she heard footsteps.

"Helena," said Paige, "that you did you get rid of those."

"Those what," said Emily.

"Those solicitors," said Paige.

"We never get solicitors way out here on," said Nickolas looking from his daughter to his former lover, "oh I see your still mad at us aren't you."

"Not at you DAD," said Paige, "you never lied to me DAD."

"Don't start this again Paige," said Lucky.

"Start what LUCKY," said Paige.

"I'm still your father," said Lucky.

"Blood is thicker then water," said Paige slumping down on a chair.

"Will it make you feel any better if I were to explain everything," said Nickolas

"Sure," said Paige, "but can we do it in privacy."

Nickolas looked up at Emily and Lucky.

"Sure," said Emily, "say you already have a bag packed I don't see why you can't spend the night at your dads."

"Just a night," said Paige.

"We'll discuss it later," said Emily.

Emily and Lucky left and Nickolas looked at Paige.

"I still can't believe how big you are," said Nickolas, "I mean it puts how long I was away into perspective."

"Yea," said Paige.

"Anyway," said Nickolas, "you mind coming to my apartment this house always gave me the creeps."

"Fine," said Paige, "bye Helena."

"Bye darling," said Helena.

A while later father and daughter were in Nickolas's apartment above Kelly's.

"I see why your brother raised me," said Paige, "but why didn't they tell me sooner."

"Sometimes the truth hurts," said Nickolas.

"But it hurts even more after being living a lie for ten years," said Paige.

"True," said Nickolas, "anyway what about you have any friends, a boyfriend perhaps."

"Well most of the girls in my grade think I'm a rich snob," said Paige.

"So you're a tomboy," said Nickolas, "cause you don't look it."

"No actually I have gal pals there just older," said Paige, "There is Megan who is a year older and Kristina she is two years older."

"And boys," said Nickolas.

"Well there is my cousin Jessie," said Paige.

"And how is Jessie your cousin," asked Nickolas.

"You know Emily's brother Jason," said Paige, "he's his son he is my age."

"Any boyfriend boyfriends," said Nickolas.

"Don't yell ok," said Paige, "you know Sonny Corenthos."

"Yea," said Nickolas.

"I'm dating his son Morgan," said Paige, "he's only a year older and so doesn't want to live his dads life anyway if you object it's a double standard cause you were in jail for my life up till now and."

"I'm not objecting," said Nickolas, "as long as he treats you right and makes you happy."

"He dose dad," said Paige.

The two continued talking of memories past both in Nickolas's life before he was arrested as well as in Paige's life.

"It's getting late," said Nickolas, "you should really get to bed we have a big day tomorrow."

"Ok dad," said Paige kissing him and going to sleep."
