Chapter Five
Spencer Vengeance
I've paid my dues
Time after time
I've done my sentence
But committed no crime
And bad mistakes
I've made a few
I've had my share of sand
Kicked in my face
But I've come through
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose
And we mean to go on and on and on and on
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the World
We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions
The united Spencer family arrived outside the PCPD about two hours later. Laura got out of the car and her children followed quickly after her, as well as Luke. Then they headed into the police station.
Laura looked around the squad room, hoping to spot Scotty somewhere. She looked and soon saw a familiar head of spiked blonde hair. "Scott Baldwin, get your butt over here right now!"
Scotty turned and looked in shock at Laura. He quickly walked to her side and reached out to embrace her, but she quickly pulled away. "Don't touch me, Scott," she said quickly, refusing to call him Scotty.
"Laura, what is going on here? When did you get released?" Scott asked.
"Earlier today, but I would've been out a lot sooner if you had only seen what needed to be done. If you had only seen that the truth would have released me from that torment, and the ultimate truth would have set me free. You kept my true love away from me when Luke and my children could have set me free. You see, Scotty, everything was set up that way. Helena did this, you jerk! She set up this thing in my head so that when this secret would come out, that I would go crazy when it was revealed to me. But the truth about my children would have set me free, Scotty. The fact that there is no Cassadine influence over any of my children. Nikolas, Nicole, and Nadia are Luke's children, not Stavros's. And plus, you have mistreated my stepson. You have really mistreated him, Scotty," Laura said furiously.
"Your stepson? What stepson?" Scotty asked her.
"Zander is my stepson! Luke is his father! You have mistreated him, Scotty, and you will pay for that!" Laura exclaimed.
Scotty looked at her, shocked at her words. "Zander is a Spencer? How in the world did that happen? How could that be possible?"
"Easy. Zander is just a few months younger than Nikolas. Zander was born due to a liaison Luke had with Holly Sutton," Laura explained.
"But Holly miscarried the child she was carrying!" Scotty said, remembering the past.
"That is what she was made to believe when she actually had been drugged and had given birth to Zander and his twin sister Alexa. Helena had planned to initially kill them when she found Carolina Lewis had just miscarried twins and she told her to continue to act like she was pregnant and she would bring the children to her. Cameron and Carolina Lewis raised them," Laura said.
"I'm sorry, Laura. I didn't know," Scotty said.
"Sorry doesn't cut it, Scott. You did harm, irreparable harm to my family and you will pay for it!" Laura exclaimed.
"How can I pay for it?" Scotty asked.
"Bring Helena in and make her finally pay for what she has done to my family. She's done more to my family than anyone else!" Laura exclaimed.
"I'll get to work on it immediately," Scotty said, quickly walking away to his desk and getting a group of officers to work on bringing in the Cassadine Matriarch.
The Spencer family walked out of the PCPD and took off quickly for the Spencer house, starting to already plan a party welcoming Laura home and welcoming Zander and Alexa fully into the family.
That night, Luke's Club was the site for a first class party welcoming Laura home and welcoming Alexa and Zander into the Spencer family. Every Spencer family member and every friend was there to welcome them. Holly had arrived at was now getting to know her two children, as well as catching up with Anna Devane and Robin Scorpio who had flown in earlier that day. Robin loved getting to know the young man and woman who, at one time, were her stepsiblings.
"Man, I wish we had grown up in our real family! Our dad really knows how to throw a party!" Alexa shouted to her twin over the loud music Luke had insisted on playing.
"I've learned that already during my time here!" Zander shouted back.
"And look over at Lucky and Summer! They are having the time of their lives!" Alexa shouted.
"Yeah! I have never seen Lucky so happy! Not even when he was with Elizabeth Webber!" Zander shouted with a smile.
"Maybe Summer is the one for him! You never know!" Alexa shouted.
Zander felt a slug on his shoulder and turned to see Leah standing there. "Hey Alex! I wanna dance!"
He smiled. "Then let's dance!" he shouted as a swing song came on and they began to dance.
Holly sat across the room, sharing a table with Laura and Anna. "Will you look at our children? They are just having the time of their lives! But there is one more thing that would make my son happy!"
"I know! But we don't know where Emily is right now! Luke said he's looking but so far he hasn't found her!" Laura shouted back to her.
"And there isn't much the WSB can do when someone is being hidden by her family for her safety!" Anna shouted.
"But that bastard Sorel is dead! Emily is safe! There is no reason for them to keep her hidden now!" Holly shouted.
"You know the Quartermaines and their damn protectiveness, especially Edward, when it comes to Emily is very very deep. They protect her with everything they have!" Laura shouted to them.
"And she isn't even their flesh and blood! They adopted her!" Anna shouted.
Lucky came over to their table at that moment. "Hey! What are you guys talking about over here?"
"Talking about what would make Zander happy right now, and its too bad that we can't find it!" Laura shouted to her son.
"Meaning Emily! Dad is looking for her! But I even tried to find out from Edward myself and he told me he wouldn't even tell me where she is!" Lucky shouted.
"Did you try to find out from Lila?" Holly asked.
"She's the person I'm going to ask very soon. But she is a last resort for now!" Lucky shouted.
"Why is Lila a last resort?" Anna asked.
"Because she has a soft spot for everyone in our family and that includes Zander now! She'll tell us in a heartbeat, but Lucky wants a definite reason to go to her!" Laura shouted.
Holly nodded. She understood what her almost-stepson was saying. Lila was an honorary Spencer and they didn't want to go to her until it was absolutely necessary.
Emily Paige Bowen-Quartermaine drove down the road toward Port Charles. She couldn't believe what she had heard about Zander. She couldn't believe that the man she loved was actually the brother of her two best friends.
She, though, was happy to hear about the truth of her boyfriend's past and the truth about who he was. She was happy that Zander was a Spencer.
She pulled into Port Charles and drove right to Luke's, where she noticed that there must be a party in full swing going on inside. She got out of the car and walked inside and saw that every single friend of the Spencer family and every single member of the Spencer family was there, enjoying themselves.
She walked up to the bar where Luke was serving and flirting with a dark haired young woman who definitely resembled the man she loved. She walked up to them and sat down beside the young woman.
Luke noticed her immediately. "Emily, welcome home!"
"Hey Luke! Nice party!" she shouted to be heard over the loud music. "Where's Zander?"
"On the dance floor with his sister Leah!" Luke shouted back to her.
Emily smiled. "Thanks Luke! I'll go surprise him!"
She got up and made her way to the dance floor and found Zander within a minute dancing with his younger sister. She made her way behind him and quickly covered his eyes as Leah giggled slightly. "Guess who!"
Zander smiled brightly and very happily at the familiar voice. "Emily! Welcome home!" he shouted as he turned around and tightly embraced the young woman he loved.
Emily smiled from within the embrace at Zander. "Congratulations, Zander! You are a Spencer!"
"I know! I'll be in a different standing with your family now!" he shouted.
"Oh yeah! At least with mom and dad, but not with grandfather! He dislikes your father, but only because Luke loves to flirt with grandmother and she flirts right back!" she shouted.
"Well, I can't help that!" he shouted back.
At that moment, the bright lights of the club dimmed and a slow song began to play, but it wasn't any ordinary slow song. It was their song.
Zander and Emily began to dance and everyone moved aside and allowed them to have the dance floor all to themselves for their reunion.
Remember when, we never needed each other
The best of friends like
Sister and Brother
We understood, we'd never be,
Alone
Those days are gone, and I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say
I never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be
Alone tonight
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
I hear your voice
And I start to tremble
Brings back the child that, I resemble
I cannot pretend, that we can still be friends
Don't want to be,
Alone tonight
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
Oh I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know, oh yeah
I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I wanna spend
The rest of my life
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
What did I say, what did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
What can I do, to make it right
Falling so hard so fast this time
Everything's changed, we never knew
How did I fall,
in love,
with you?
