Chapter Six
Esta noche bailamos
Te doy toda mi vida
Quedate conmigo
Tonight we dance
I leave my life in your hands
We take the floor
Nothing is forbidden anymore
Don't let the world gloom outside
Don't let a moment go by
Nothing can stop us tonight
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero,
amor mio
Bailamos
I want to live this life forever
Bailamos
Te quiero,
amor mio,
te quiero
Tonight I'm yours
We can make it happen
I'm so sure
Now I'm letting go
There is something else
you should know
I won't be leaving your side
We're going to dance
through the night
Oh, I want to reach for the stars
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero,
amor mio
Bailamos
I want to live this life forever
Bailamos
Te quiero,
amor mio,
te quiero
(Whoa)
Tonight we dance
(Whoa)
Like no tomorrow
(Whoa)
If you will stay with me
Te quiero, amor
Vente conmigo
Esta noche
Bailamos
Bailamos
Let the rhythm take you over
Bailamos
Te quiero,
amor mio
Bailamos
I want to live this life forever
Bailamos
Te quiero,
amor mio,
te quiero
After about ten minutes of mingling, a bell rang that indicated that it was time to continue with the revelations. Everyone went back to their tables and once again Alana stepped onto the stage and began to speak.
"Now, I will reveal the secrets that will reunite members of my beloved husband's family. Members that should never have been separated from them," Alana announced with a bright smile on her face for both Alexis and Stefan.
"First, we will start with my dearest sister-in-law Alexis Davis. During the time that I had given birth to my fraternal twins, son and daughter Alexander and Natalia, Alexis had given birth to fraternal twins herself, a handsome little boy she named Dimitri Nicolai Davis and a cute little girl named Katerina Eleni Davis. But she didn't even get the chance to hold them, because Helena had taken them away from her."
Over at the Cassadine table, Alexis shed a tear at the thought of her son and daughter. She had never even had the chance to hold her children. She didn't even know where they were. She didn't even know what they looked like, thanks to Helena.
"A few years back, during an thorough examination of every Cassadine compound in the world, I found hidden in the compound in New Zealand two young people, a young man and a young woman, fraternal twins Dimitri and Katerina Davis. I've kept an eye on them ever since. Tonight, I've brought them home," Alana said with a smile as a red-haired young woman and a brown-haired young man stepped onto the stage.
Alexis rose from her chair, tears streaming down her face at the sight of the young man and woman on the stage. The young woman, her darling daughter Katerina, definitely resembled her and the young man, her handsome son Dimitri, resembled his late father, who Helena had killed. "Dimitri! Katarina! Is it really you?"
"Mom!" both of them exclaimed as they jumped off the stage and then ran quickly into their mother's open arms. Alexis warmly embraced both of her children tightly, happy tears flowing down her face.
They parted and then both of them hugged their uncle Stefan before they sat down at the Cassadine table.
Alana smiled at the reunion of her sister-in-law and her children. The Cassadine family was almost whole. Just one more reunion to go.
"And now, for the final Cassadine reunion. During my time on the island with my beloved Stavros, Stefan was married to a beautiful young woman, a German heiress by the name of Nicolette Catherine Atherson. Nicolette was beautiful and was the perfect wife to Stefan. When Nicolette became pregnant, it was a joyous occasion. But when she gave birth to their children, it was a very sorrowful day because of how hard the labor and delivery was. She died in giving birth to identical/fraternal triplets, two girls, one boy: Marcus Alexander Stefanovich Cassadine, Eleni Nicole Stefanolavna Cassadine, and Angelica Helene Stefanolavna Cassadine. Stefan began to raise them with assistance from Stavros, Alexis, and I. He was able to raise them for a good ten years, before Helena took all three of them away from Stefan," Alana explained.
Over at the Cassadine table, Stefan did something he rarely ever did, shed a tear at the thought of his children. He hadn't seen them since shortly after they had turned ten years old. He missed them so badly. Raising Nikolas had not diminished the pain of not seeing his children and not raising them, thanks to his evil mother.
"During our same search of the Cassadine compound in New Zealand, in a separate section, we found two young women and a young man: identical/fraternal triplets Angelica, Eleni, and Marcus Cassadine. I also kept a close eye on them. Tonight, I brought them home," Alana said as the three of them made their way onto the stage.
Stefan rose slowly from his chair in shock. He couldn't believe that after all these years, he was seeing his children, the very children he had missed seeing grow up and become adults. His beautiful daughters Angelica and Eleni, he could tell, looked so much like his beloved Nicolette and his handsome son Marcus looked like him. "Marcus! Eleni! Angelica! Is it really you?"
"Papa!" the three of them yelled as they leapt off the stage and quickly ran straight for their father's open arms. Stefan warmly embraced his children tightly. He had missed them so. Happy tears flowed down his face, as he held his children and never wanted to let them go ever again.
They parted and the three hugged their aunt and cousins tightly. The five cousins had gotten to know each other well, having lived in the same compound for most of their lives.
They all sat down, now filling the table that, at the beginning of the night, had only had Alexis and Stefan seated at it. It was now filled with them and their children.
"We'll take about a ten minute break now to allow a proper reunion for my dear sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and their children," Alana said before she stepped off the stage.
Everyone started to mingle around the room while everyone at the Cassadine table rose and joined in a massive group hug. As Alana had said, the Cassadine family was now whole, or as whole as they could be. Alexis and Stefan now had their children back and no one would every separate them again. They were all home, finally.
Take, me, make me
All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking
Welcome to this heart of mine
I've buried under prideful vines
Grown to hide the mess I've made
Inside of me
Come decorate, Lord
Open up the creaking door
And walk upon the dusty floor
Scrape away the guilty stains
Until no sin or shame remain
Spread Your love upon the walls
And occupy the empty halls
Until the man I am has faded
No more doors are barricaded
Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own
Make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own
Welcome home
Take a seat, pull up a chair
Forgive me for the disrepair
And the souvenirs from floor to ceiling
Gathered on my search for meaning
Every closet's filled with clutter
Messes yet to be discovered
I'm overwhelmed, I understand
I can't make this place all that You can
Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own
Make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own
Welcome home
I took the space that You placed in me
Redecorated in shades of greed
And I made sure every door stayed locked
Every window blocked, and still You knocked
Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own
Make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own
Welcome home
Take me, make me
All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking, all I'm asking
