Chapter Three
Alana took a deep breath before she began to explain the next revelation to her cousin's family. "Everyone, there is more to tell. Nikolas was not the only one to be raised with a different family. There's another long-lost Spencer child in this room. A child that was stolen from Luke and his, what should I call it, liaison Holly Sutton-Scorpio. The child that Holly thought she had miscarried, she didn't miscarry."
"That day, Helena had paid the doctors off and when Holly was supposedly checked out, she was drugged and gave birth to a little boy. The doctors took him and Helena gave him to another family to raise, the Andrews. I found out about it and paid the family off to go into hiding. They changed their name to Smith and left for a place unknown to Helena. I'm thankful I did, since after Stavros had supposedly died, she wanted to kill the boy, but couldn't find the family she had given him to,"
"I continued to keep a close eye on the family and especially on the young man they were raising. Little did I know that he would one day end up in the town that should have been his home all along. The young man is you, Zander. You are the child of Luke Spencer and Holly Sutton-Scorpio. The half-brother of Lucky, Nikolas, and Leslie Lu and the stepson of Laura."
Everyone is shocked by this revelation. Lucky and Nikolas, along with Elizabeth and Gia, are shocked to find out that Zander is a Spencer child. Zander is their brother! All along, he was their brother!
Zander holds his head in his hands after Alana had finished this revelation. He could hardly believe what she had said. The parents he knew and loved weren't his parents at all. He wasn't Alexander Elijah Smith, as he had believed all his life. He was a Spencer! His father, his birth father Luke Spencer, was right in that room. And his birth mother Holly Sutton-Scorpio was elsewhere. And he had two half-brothers, half-brothers who at that moment were staring at him in disbelief. Zander was their brother! They could hardly believe it!
Zander raised his head as his brothers both approached him. The three of them embraced tightly for the first time. Luke and Laura joined their sons in the embrace. Their family was whole. Their family was finally whole.
Put your pictures away
And remember these days
Till we meet again
Or you need a friend
I won't stand in your way
Though I beg you to stay
But wherever you go
You need to know
Don't Forget
Don't Forget
Baby, Don't Forget
Blood is thicker than water
That between you and me
Nothing could be any stronger
And though we may be apart
There's a river that flows through my heart
Don't Forget
Blood is Thicker than Water
Until dawn we would talk
Through the fields we would walk
Hear them calling us home
But then further we'd go
Now's the time to be brave
As our innocence fads
There's so much we don't know
but the world can be cold
Lift your head
Look ahead
Baby, Don't Forget
Blood is thicker than water
That between you and me
Nothing could be any stronger
Baby Don't Forget
This love is forever longer
And if someone is breaking your heart
There's a light on for you in the dark
Don't Forget
Blood is Thicker than Water
I won't stand in your way
Though I beg you to stay
It's so hard letting go
Cause your all that I know
Don't Forget
Don't Forget
Baby, Don't Forget
Blood is thicker than water
That between you and me
Nothing could be any stronger
Baby, Don't forget
This love is forever longer
That between you and me
Nothing could be any stronger
Blood is Thicker than Water
Blood is Thicker than Water
After they parted from the embrace, the Spencer family as a whole turned and glared at Helena. That wicked bitch had caused them so much pain. And now, she would finally pay for it.
"Welcome to the family, Zander," Lucky said with tears running down his face as he embraced his long-lost older brother again.
"Thanks, bro," Zander said with tears running down his face at the love that Lucky and Nikolas had shown him. His brothers. His wonderful loving brothers. And Luke, his loving father, had shown him the love he had expected from the man who had raised him, but had never received. And Laura, his loving step-mother gave him the love of a mother. The same love he hoped he would see in the eyes of his birth mother Holly.
Alana smiled at her cousin's family from her chair. She hadn't seen Luke this happy in a long time. And she was the one who wanted him to be happy, instead of miserable like Helena wanted him to be.
Stavros sat smiling beside his wife. He knew that this was the way it should have always been. The two families, Spencer and Cassadine, getting along. Helping to insure the other's happiness, instead of the fighting that had been going on for twenty years.
They all turned to Alana a moment later and waited for her to speak. "There are many more things that Helena has done to your family and mine, but more people need to hear them. More people have been damaged by Helena and her associates through the years. And I need your help to get them all here."
She dug into the purse at her side and pulled out several sheets of paper. "On these sheets are the names of people I need you to help me get to Port Charles. I have already reserved the entire Port Charles Grill for one week from now for the big announcement of the final revelations. Everyone on these lists will be vindicated by these revelations. I need your help to contact these people and get them to Port Charles," She said.
They all nodded and Alana passed around the sheets, with each person taking one. Each sheet had at least five names typed on it as well as the details about the night of revelations.
"Give them the details of the night and why they need to be here. Other than that, tell them nothing," Alana said.
They all nodded before Alana, Stavros, and their children left the house and left the Spencers to make plans regarding both Nikolas and Zander. Alana and Stavros had taken Helena with them back to Helena's yacht, which in truth was Stavros and Alana's yacht. It was the yacht that they had used to travel around on their honeymoon over twenty years before.
They walked onto the yacht where Andreas was patiently waiting for them. After all, he was truly Alana's servant, not Helena's. His late brother Ari had also been Alana's servant. "What may I do for you, Mistress Alana?"
"Toss Helena in the hold and leave her there. Keep her fed, but don't even think of listening to her," Alana commanded.
"Yes, Madame," Andreas said before he grabbed the bound and gagged Helena and headed down to the hold of the yacht and tossed her in the room unceremoniously.
Zander, Nikolas, Elizabeth, Gia, and Lucky left the house minutes after Alana and her family had left. They were heading for their places of residence before Lucky spoke up. "Zander, we need to get you out of Jake's and into some place where you are near to us. There is an open room at Kelly's just down the hall from Elizabeth and I."
"I think it would be better for him to move into the cottage, Lucky. It would be a lot nicer for him," Nikolas said.
"No, Nikolas. Lucky is right. I think Kelly's is a better choice. You and Gia need your privacy and I would just make it worse. And Kelly's is a family place, after all. Dad and aunt Bobbie own it," Zander said with a smile.
Lucky smiled. His new elder brother had a point. "Zander is right, Nik. He will feel more comfortable at Kelly's. Living with you would be pure torture," he said, thinking about what Zander was going through at the moment. Emily had found a new love and Zander was heartbroken. Lucky knew that Zander wouldn't feel comfortable at the cottage around Nikolas and Gia 24 hours a day.
Nikolas nodded. "You're right. After all, Emily just recently ended it with our dear brother here. He wouldn't want to be around two someones who are so in love and spend every minute expressing it," he said as he squeezed Gia.
