Wow, you guys have some very interesting ideas about who Lila's mother is. It will be cleared up soon I promise. I'm going to list all the kids ages since there were so many questions. Michael-25, Kristina-21, Morgan-19, Lila-18, Adella-15 the twins and Cam were hit with a bad case of SORAS (soap opera rapid aging syndrome) and are now 23.

Chapter 15: Coming Home

Brenda nervously paced her kitchen floor. She hoped to God that Sonny knew what he was doing. Having his self shot to make it appear that he was in danger, that way when he disappeared, it wouldn't look so suspicious. It was almost as risky as when he decided to threaten Cam Webber to stay away from his daughter and grand-daughter. Boy, when you thought about it Sonny sure did have a lot of kids running around. Including the light of her life Taylor. Brenda picked up the picture of her daughter and smiled. She looked just like Brenda except for the dimples she got from Sonny. Taylor had just started her freshman year of college and had a boyfriend. Really, Brenda couldn't be happier. At least until Sonny "disappeared" and finally came home.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"I'll be content to never see another hospital again," Lila said waiting for Michael to unlock his door.

"Yeah I know what you mean." He opened the door and ushered her in. His apartment was sparsely furnished, and definitely belonged to a bachelor. Maybe she would have to fix that.

"Ya know this looks like the first house Dad and I ever had," she told him shrugging out of her leather jacket.

"Really?"

"Yep, we had the basics, beds, a couch, and a TV that sat on a milk crate. It stayed that was for three years. See Dad was busy opening up his restaraunt so he was never really home, and I pretty much floated around the neighborhood. Everyone was willing to baby-sit for the sexy widower." She walked over to the doors leading to the patio and stared out at the night. "I miss him." She felt Michael come up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist. His chin rested on the top of her head and his breath ruffled her hair. He didn't say anything, just held her against him. She tilted her head up and kissed his chin,"Thanks, I needed that."

He smiled at her,"You know what I need? Food. I'm starving." He pulled her into the kitchen and sat her up on the counter. He stepped between her legs and wrapped his arms around her,"You sit right here and look pretty, and I'll cook for you."

She raised an eyebrow, "You can cook?"

He frowned,"Well, no. But I'm a helluva microwaver. Lucky's wife always sends me home with leftovers."

"Awe that's sweet she doesn't let you starve."

He pulled a couple of containers out of the refrigerator,"Yeah, it's just the kinda person Lydia is."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Princess, why are you going through my dresser drawers?" Michael asked sitting up in bed.

"I need something to sleep in," she answered. They'd barely made it through their reheated lasagne before tearing each others clothes off.

"What's wrong with what you're wearing?"

Lila rolled her eyes and turned to face him,"I'm not wearing anything."

He gave her a mischeivious grin, "Exactly." He crawled over to her side of the bed,"You are beautiful just the way you are and you want to go and cover it up with something as awful as clothes." He pulled her into the bed with him. "If I weren't afraid you'd attract other men, I'd want you to walk around naked all the time." She giggled into his chest, and flipped him over so she was on top of him. She had just started kissing his chest when she heard her cell phone ringing.

"Ignore it," Lila told Michael kissing him again.

"What if it's about Sonny?" he asked her.

She hated that she cared about what happened to him, and her face said so. She climbed off of Michael and reached for the phone laying on the bed side table. "Hello, this better be good."

"Lila, It's Georgie Quartermaine. I need you to come down to the hospital right away. Sonny's fine, but I discovered something in your bloodwork that we really need to talk about."

So, Lucky's wife is Lydia. I loved their chemistry when she was still on the show and I thought she was a redeemable character. Oh well, have you guys figured out who Lila's mother is yet? Review and let me know what you think.
