Chapter Five

It´s been a long road, getting from there to here.

It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near.

And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way.

And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down.

The Port Charles Grill was buzzing with activity as each of Alana's invited guests arrived for the night of revelations. Every family had a table to themselves. Many seemed too big for the family initially, but, after certain revelations, it wouldn't be.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

Zander, Lucky, Elizabeth, and Robin arrived amid the hustle and bustle and headed to their respective tables. Robin literally ran for the Scorpio table when she saw her mother and aunt, Anna and Alex, sitting there. Zander, Lucky and Elizabeth headed for the Spencer table where Nikolas and Gia were already seated.

"Hey bros! Lookin' good!" Nikolas greets as the others sit down across from them.

"You don't look so bad yourself, bro," Zander says with a smile. He finally was beginning to feel comfortable with being a Spencer child. He was getting along better with both Lucky and Nikolas. If only it could bring Emily back to him.

It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way.

Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.

And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.

And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.

A young woman approached their table a few seconds later. She seemed nervous as she looked at them. "Are you the Spencers?"

Everyone turned to face her at that moment. "Yes, we are," Lucky said with a smile. "And may I ask who you are?"

"Lorelei Adella Sims. Alana told me I was supposed to sit with you. I have no idea why," Lorelei said with a slight smile as she sat down next to Zander. "And I guess I should ask you what your names are."

Zander nodded before he began the introductions. "I am Alex Spencer. These two gentlemen you see before you are my half-brothers Lucky and Nikolas Spencer and the young women are their girlfriends Gia Campbell and Elizabeth Webber."

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

"It's nice to meet you all. Any more family members coming tonight? I see four more empty chairs here," Lorelei said.

"Yes. My mom and dad, little sister Lulu, and my grandma are on their way," Lucky said to her.

"That's good. By what Alana has told me, this night will fully free your entire family from Helena's influence," Lorelei said.

"That's the truth. She has brought so much trouble onto our family in the past twenty years. We are so glad to finally be able to get our revenge for what she has done. We've had enough of her, especially me," Nikolas said.

I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.

But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.

I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.

But I´ll be fine.

At that moment Luke, Laura, Leslie, and Lulu came up to the table. Laura admired the dresses the girls were wearing and knew that her sons had to resist temptation when it came to seeing them in those dresses, The men also exchanged looks with each other as they spied the other gowns. Both Lucky, Nikolas, and Zander knew that their father had to resist the same urges that they had.

Luke and Laura's gazes then fell upon Lorelei. Laura gasped at the striking resemblance she had in regards to Luke, Lucky, and her. Her blue eyes were the exact same shade as Lucky's were and she seemed to have the same blonde hair that she had. Plus, she just seemed to be a little cocky, just as Luke was. Could it be? Laura thought. Could she be Lucky's twin? Could she be the baby girl I thought I lost?

Luke also realized the resemblance the young woman had to them. He was thinking the exact same thing that Laura was. Could this be the daughter we thought we lost twenty years ago?

The group sat down and Lorelei introduced herself again. They all fell into a polite conversation over Lucky and Nikolas's futures with Elizabeth and Gia. Lucky insisted that the engagement to Elizabeth was real and now there was no stopping it. Gia and Nikolas talked about the plans they had begun to make in the past week for the big day.

Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.

I´ve got faith of the heart.

I´m going where my heart will take me.

I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.

I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

It´s been a long road.

The lights of the grill flickered a few minutes later. A stage had been set up on the far end of the room, right in front of the private party room where many of Alana's surprises were waiting. Alana stepped up to the microphone a few seconds later. "Good evening everyone! And Welcome to the Night of Revelations and Reunions. Tonight, everything changes for every family in this room!" She exclaimed as everyone applauded.

"We'll start the evening with the secret of Helena's partnership with a certain madman by the name of Cesar Faison," Alana announced.

Alana watched as the madman's name made many of the people narrow their eyes and want to blow their tops including her own cousin Luke and his family.

"One of the first things that my mother-in-law did with Faison was help him get revenge on Robert and Anna Scorpio. When the boat explosion took place, both Helena and Faison wanted Robert to die so that they could take Anna for themselves. But as we all know, Anna ended up being saved from their plan by the man known as Bart," Alana said.

Anna, Alex, and Robin teared up at the words. Robert was someone that was missed tremendously by both Anna and Robin. His death was mourned by both of them.

"But, both of them saw an opportunity to get Anna back when Faison discovered that Robert survived the explosion and instead took him as their prisoner."

Robin's eyes widened, as did Anna's. Robert, alive? Could it really be true?

"It was about a year ago when we came upon Faison's compound in Russia and that is where we found none other than Robert Scorpio himself," Alana said as Robert made his way onto the stage.

Anna and Robin slowly rose from their chairs and then quickly started to run up to the stage. Robert walked off the stage and then ran to his wife and daughter. They collided in a family crush of arms and tears. The Scorpio family was whole again!

They parted and happily headed back to the table. There, they were met by Mac and Felicia who had been late. The Scorpio brothers embraced tightly before Robert sat down beside his wife and daughter.

Luke and Laura smiled brightly at the reunion of their good friends. Anna had missed Robert terribly once she had remembered him and Robin had missed him tremendously for years. And now, they were reunited.

Alana and her family smiled from the stage where she and her family prepared to reunite more people with their lost family members.

"There's much more to come tonight, but I think we'll take a break now and let the Scorpios truly reunite for a while," she said before she stepped off the stage.

Everyone in the room got up and started to mingle. Luke headed toward the Scorpio table to reunite with his best friend.

Robert turned and noticed his best friend approaching the table. "Luke!" he exclaimed with a smile.

"Robert!" Luke exclaimed as he reached his friend. The men hugged boisterously as both Anna and Laura embraced.

"Laura, it's good to see you after all these years," Anna said as she and Laura parted.

"Same thing here, Anna. Who knew that that monster was involved whit Helena back them and that he would do damage to both of our families," Laura said.

"I know. But now she's getting what she deserves," Anna said with a smile.
