Truths
Part Five
Three Weeks Later
Hear the clock strike two am
Another sleepless night for you
Oh, I have been there too
But there is healing in the hand of God
He will cover everybody
He'll even touch some one like you
It's a natural thing to believe that
Something wonderful never comes easy
Let it go
There is power in the cross to heal us
There is freedom in the blood that Jesus offered to you
So Freely
Alex sat in his cell at the PC Jail as he had done for weeks now, except for the past three weeks he had constant visits from his newfound family. He had even met his little sister Lulu and had become enchanted by the little girl. Emily had even told him that she had felt as if Lulu were her little sister.
He enjoyed the time he spent with his family and he had learned so many things about the way his family had lived and how much he was like his father and mother, even like his stepmother, even though they didn't share blood ties.
Laura had given him so many pictures of his family during her many visits and Lucky had told him so many stories of their world travels while they were on the run from Frank Smith. Nikolas had even told him some stories about his childhood on the Cassadine Island. He loved that he had gotten to know his family so well. He felt as if he had always been with them.
He was looking through the many pictures he had of his family, wishing that he was in them, as he should've been. But he couldn't turn back time. He couldn't change the past.
His thoughts were on more than just his family, but on the charges that were against him, but Alexis was working on that. She was doing everything she could to get a deal for him. A deal that would get him out and would get Sorel put in prison. He wanted out of there so badly. He wanted to get the picture taken with his family that Laura had promised they would have done when he got out. He was hoping that they could get it done by Christmas, so he made wishes every night that he would get out of there soon.
So many things were different now. Now he truly was Alex Spencer, as all the legal paperwork had gone through and he had gotten his new ID and his true birth certificate with his name on it as he wanted it.
He looked out the window of his cell at the night sky and found the North Star and once again, made his wish.
"Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish I wish tonight. I wish to get out of this jail cell soon. Before Christmas, please!" He laid his head on his thin pillow and fell asleep.

Lucky stood at his window in his room above Kelly's, Elizabeth at his side. His need for her had grown in the past couple of weeks, but they had agreed to wait until they were married to consummate their relationship.
He had spent half of his time with Elizabeth and half of it with his family, and most of the family time was spent at the PC Jail with Alex. He so badly wanted his brother out of there. He already had a place to stay, thanks to both Lucky and Nikolas, as well as Cassie, who had remained in Port Charles. She and Nikolas had resumed their past relationship. Nikolas had moved out of the cottage and had moved in with Cassie at her family home on the edge of Port Charles. Gia still lived in the cottage, since she still rented from him. She would continue to do so until she would find a place of her own, since she didn't want to live with either her mother or brother.
Elizabeth and Lucky were already planning to find a place of their own other than their rooms above Kelly's. Lucky had already found a better job than working at the roadhouse. He was now working at L&B as assistant PR director under his brother and had also begun to try his hand at song-writing(again) and Ned had already promised him a song-writing contract with L&B. Elizabeth was working at Kelly's as well as working part-time at Jax Cosmetics under Lucy Coe.
Lucky and Elizabeth were blissfully happy about everything that had been happening. Lucky was closer to his family then he had been in a long time. It was also something that was bringing his twin sisters Laurel and Leah home to Port Charles. They would be arriving the next day, as well as Elizabeth's older brother Steven, who was enjoying the fact that he was going to see his little sister, his favorite sister. Steven had an extreme dislike for Sarah and did not like being around her.
Elizabeth and Lucky moved away from the window and moved toward the door. Lucky kissed Elizabeth before she headed out the door and down the hall to her own room. Lucky closed the door and headed to his bed and knelt down beside it in prayer. He had asked the Lord for so many things through the years and one way or another, God granted him his prayers.
"God, it's Lucky Spencer. I know I don't ask you for many things, but you always have answered my prayers. I ask you for something special today. Please, God, help Alex get out of jail soon. I can't stand seeing my brother in that place any longer. Please, help us get him out of there before Christmas, please! Amen."
Lucky got up from his prayer and got ready for bed. He got in bed and pulled up the covers and fell fast asleep, dreaming of what it would be like for Alex to be out of jail and where he belonged, with their family.
Another day, another twist in the road
A cloud upon your soul
Don't let it take control
Don't be afraid to say the name
He's there for those who call him
He's your refuge from the cold
To love God is a curious thing
The more you give it seems the more he brings
His love back to you
In the presence of the holy spirit
Bells ringing and I can hear the angels sing
So clearly
Laurel Bethany Spencer stared out the window of the plane enroute to Port Charles, her twin sister Leah Jean sitting beside her, writing in her journal, probably writing about what had been happening in the past couple of weeks. It had been a shock for both of them to find out about Nikolas and Alex. To find out that Nikolas was their full brother and that Alex was their half-brother. It was quite a revelation for both girls. It took every last cent of their last paychecks to pay for their plane tickets home to unite their family for the first time ever. They were both looking forward to being with their family for the first time since shortly after they were born.
Laurel smiled at the thought of the Spencer triplets being back together, She still couldn't believe that they would be in the same place together for the first time in years. The last time that happened was when Lucky had ran away with Emily to try to find her aunt Corey.
FLASHBACK
Laurel and Leah were fast asleep in their room at their cousin Alana Reade's house when they heard a tapping at the window. Laurel rose from her bed and went to the window. Her eyes widened as she saw who was outside. She opened the window and gave her twin brother a stern look. "Lucky, what in the world are you doing here?"
"Let me and Emily in and I'll explain everything," Lucky said.
Laurel waved the two of them inside and Laurel hugged her brother. "Lucky, it's good to see you. Now are you going to tell me what you are doing here?"
Leah got up from her bed at that moment. "Yeah, bro, what are you doing here?"
"Well, Emily and I ran away from Port Charles," Lucky said.
"There'd better be a good reason for you running away, bro," Leah said sternly.
"Well, it's what Emily wanted. She wants to live with her aunt Corey instead of living with the Quartermaines," Lucky said.
"Oh, that I can understand. You've told us enough about that crazy family enough for me to know that I wouldn't want to live with them," Laurel said with a smile.
"Yes, and I didn't want to stay there myself, so I talked Lucky into helping me find my aunt Corey in Arizona so I can live with her," Emily told them.
"Well, what other reason brought you two here?" Leah asked.
"Well, we do need a place to stay for the night. We were hoping to stay here for the night," Lucky said.
"OK, if you two don't mind sleeping on the floor and making sure that you are gone before we leave for school in the morning," Laurel said.
"No problem. We only need a few hours of sleep and we'll be on our way," Emily said.
END FLASHBACK
Laurel laid her head back against her seat and fell asleep, dreaming of the united family they would be.
