"Emily?" Nikolas saw Carly hanging over Emily. Carly looked at Nikolas and ran away. His heart literally dropped at the site before him. Emily was bleeding at her side because she had a garden sickle hanging out of her side. "EMILY!" Nikolas ran to her and sat at her side. He rubbed her face and kissed her head. "Police, call the police." He picked up his phone and called 911. "Hi, okay. I have a woman who has been stabbed in the park. Yes, North Park. 20 MINUTES! She is rapidly losing blood. Alright whatever, just hurry, please hurry." Nikolas hung up and placed the phone at his side. "Emily, hey, can you hear or see me?" Her vision blurred in and out, but for the most part she can see and hear him.

"Yea, im, ahh, just dizzy. Nikolas…" Nikolas kissed her forehead and looked around for the ambulance.

"Emily, don't. Just don't say anything, focus your energy on staying awake." Emily grabbed his hand with her free one and held it against her face.

"Nikolas, please… Don't go, I need you next to me." Nikolas nodded as a tear streamed down his face.

"I know, baby I know. I'm not going anywhere, alright? I'm staying right here next to you." The ambulance sirens roared throughout the park. Emily looked Nikolas in the eye and smiled. The medics ran to Emily and put her on the stretcher. Nikolas had to answer some questions for the police, as a man came over to him,

"Sir, Mrs. Cassadine would like to talk to you." Nikolas nodded. Cassadine? Why would she identify herself as married to him? Oh well, he just walked over to Emily as her eyes were closed.

"Hey. How are you doing?" Nikolas said as he shook her slightly. Emily looked over at her side and saw that they still hadn't done anything with her side.

"I am hurting. I feel like I have a needle sticking in my side." Nikolas was staring off to space and was biting the inside of his lip. Emily turned her head to see what was wrong with him. "Nikolas?" He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Hmm? What's up?" Emily looked at him.

"Whats wrong?" Nikolas looked at her and sighed.

"Emily, why did you say your name was Emily Cassadine?" Emily turned red and rubbed her neck. Nikolas noticed that she had her wedding ring on. "Emily and why is your wedding ring still on? I thought you took it off. Emily looked at her finger and laughed nervously.

"I don't know. That was just the first name that came to thought. Im not used to saying Quartermaine as my last name yet. I used to say Cassadine with pride in it." Emily looked away.

"Em… Look at me." Emily still looked away. Nikolas put his finger under her chin and turned it towards him. Nikolas looked at her and leaned in to kiss her. Emily turned away again. Nikolas still stayed inches away from her face. Nikolas whispered her name. Emily let a tear slip down her face.

"I won't get hurt two times in a row by the same man, Nikolas. I can't stand the pain." Nikolas kissed the tear away. Emily turned her head to face him. She put both hands on his chest and pushed him back slightly.

"Go home to Courtney, Nikolas. You obviously want her, and you can't have both of us. We went through that already, remember?" Nikolas gave her a questioned look.

"Em?"

"No, I won't do it. Nikolas go."

"Emily. I am not going." Nikolas placed his hand lightly on hers. "I may love Courtney, but my main concern is you right now." Emily smiled.

"Fine." Nikolas smiled and kissed her hand.

"Okay, we are ready to go. Sir, are you riding with us in the ambulance?" Nikolas looked at Emily as she nodded.

"Yea, I think I am."
