'Second Thoughts'
***Cassadine Island***
Nikolas: (sighs) "Maybe it's time we let our plan come to an end."
(Carly looks at him weirdly before scoffing)
Carly: "You can't be serious. Nikolas, we're about to get everything we want!"
Nikolas: "No, we're not. I threatened my brother…my own brother, Carly. I don't want to hurt him. I may have wanted to at the time. I was too self-absorbed and full of revenge. But..."
(Nikolas sighs deeply and he wipes his face with his hands, shaking his head)
Nikolas: "I just got my girl back. I just got Emily back. I don't want to lose her over this stupid curse."
Carly: (raises her voice) "The curse is not stupid, Nikolas! You, me, and Helena created it for a reason! It's so we would have full power over Port Charles! It's so I'd get my revenge against Little Miss Muffin for taking Jason away from me! There's a reason why I killed her little shit Jake with my magic. There's no proof he would have survived the surgery, but I didn't want to take the chance. That kid should have never been born."
Nikolas: "That's Elizabeth's son you're talking about. No kid deserves to be murdered or even accidentally hurt. Emily 'died' before her dream could come true. She always wanted to have a child, our child, my child." (spits) "Hornsby and Zacchara destroyed that years ago."
Carly: (smiles) "Technically, they didn't. Aiden, yours and Emily's child, is alive and well. You just need to claim him."
Nikolas: (shakes his head) "It's too soon for that. I need to take care of those bastards that took my love away from me first. Once that's done, then I'll tell everyone the truth."
Carly: (scoffs) "You'd blow our plan to hell just for that? Come on, Nik!"
Nikolas: "Carly, you were the one who technically thought of the plan…you and Helena. Yes, I agreed to it and thought it was a good idea. Now, I don't. Cameron doesn't need to die just to please your ego. He's a very well-mannered young boy. Yes, he knows about the curse. Who the hell cares? Everyone knows, too."
Carly: (shouts) "Yeah! Because of him!"
Nikolas: "He's not the only one. Lucky knows, too. I know you didn't like Jake because he was Elizabeth and Jason's, but he didn't deserve to die."
Carly: (shrugs) "Luke started it."
Nikolas: "But YOU ended his life. If you really wanted to, you could bring him back to life."
Carly: (snorts) "And why the hell would I do that?"
Nikolas: "Because it's the right thing to do. I know how much the truth hurts and annoys you."
Carly: (laughs incredulously) "If anything annoys me, it's your idiotic idea of bringing back Jake and not killing Cameron. Jason and Little Miss Muffin probably know it was me in the hospital with the syringe by now. I'm sure Jason wants me dead."
Nikolas: (raises his eyebrows) "Can you blame him? You almost killed his son."
Carly: "Not his biologically."
Nikolas: "In every way that counts."
Carly: (points at Nikolas) "You're really starting to annoy me, you know that?"
Nikolas: "Do you think I care?"
Carly: "You need to ask yourself this, Nik. If everyone knows the truth about everything, do you think Elizabeth will just hand over Aiden to you? Do you think Emily will forgive you for how Aiden was brought into this world? Do you really think Emily would be able to take Aiden away from her best friend, even though Elizabeth raised him since birth?"
(Nikolas just stares at Carly for the longest time. He didn't want to admit it, but she was right. If Elizabeth knew the truth about Aiden, it'd break her heart. Emily would be pissed about Nikolas' methods about how Aiden came to be born. How it was Nikolas' sperm and Emily's eggs into Elizabeth's womb using magic when Elizabeth really thought it was the last time her and Lucky made love. He knew it would break Elizabeth's heart, too, not just Emily's. Nikolas shakes his head and walks away, answering Carly's question)
Carly: "Yeah, I thought so. Face it, Nikolas. You're in a no-win situation. If you don't tell, Elizabeth will go on thinking Aiden is hers and you can watch your son grow up from a distance. If you tell Emily, she'll be mad that you used her best friend to get what you want. Jason will also be out for blood." (snickers) "Not to mention your dear brother will be mad that his only bio child isn't really his."
(Nikolas groans loudly in frustration. He knew Carly was right, but it still pissed him off to hear the truth. What the hell was he supposed to do? He used to be firm in getting what the hell he wanted. Now? He wasn't so sure. Carly couldn't help but smirk as she knew he was facing facts. She didn't always take pleasure on being right. Most of the time, she did, though)
Carly: "So, are you ready to stick to our plan? I'm not going to force you."
Nikolas: "Lucky won't stop trying to help me even though he knows I'm up to no good. I've tried telling him to mind his own damn business. I don't know if he will."
Carly: "Maybe you need to show him some tough love. He'll see eventually that he doesn't need to be involved."
Woman's Voice: "My dear, Carly, you are right as always."
(Carly and Nikolas jump when they hear a familiar voice, revealing Helena)
Carly: "Helena."
Nikolas: (sighs) "Hello, grandmother. We didn't hear you come in."
Helena: (chuckles) "Of course you didn't. You were both too busy in your own little world."
(Helena walks to the duo with a stern warning)
Helena: "Spencer and Cameron need to be dealt with. I want them taken care of…now."
Nikolas: (shakes his head) "You may be on your own on that. I'm not sure I can do it. Lucky means well, even if he doesn't always show it."
Carly: (to Nikolas) "Be prepared for when Emily finds out that Aiden is her son with you and what she'll do about it."
Nikolas: "Like I said…it'll be a shock at first, but shell accept it." (smiles a little) "We've always wanted a child. Sure, it didn't happen the natural way. She'll love Aiden in the end. Elizabeth has Cameron and possibly Jake in the end, so she'll have plenty to be happy about."
Helena: (spits) "There is a reason why Jake is dead, my grandson. I don't care to see him revived. Little Cameron may want him alive, but that's not part of our plan."
Nikolas: (raises his eyebrows) "Do you think I care?"
Helena: "If you care about your precious Emily, you'll care about this. By the way, my sweet Nikolas…"
(smirks) "Do you really think your dear friend Elizabeth will let you raise your son with Emily?"
Nikolas: (bitterly) "Do you really think I give a shit?"
Helena: "You better before you blow everything out of the water."
****Alexis' Cottage***
Sam: "Thank you for arranging this, mom."
Alexis: "No problem honey." (to Jason) "I already asked this of Sam and now I'm going to ask you. Are you sure you want this divorce to happen?"
Jason: (nods) "Yes, I do. I'm sure Sam told you that we fell out of love with each other. We never should have let it go on for this long. We are in love with other people."
Alexis: "Okay. Well, I have the divorce papers here."
(She takes them out of her briefcase and gives them to Sam first to sign. After she signs, then Jason does. Afterwards, Alexis puts them back in her briefcase and faces the soon to be divorced duo)
Alexis: "It shouldn't take more than a few days. Then you'll officially be able to move on with your lives."
Sam: "Thanks, mom."
Jason: "Thank you, Alexis."
Alexis: "No problem."
(Sam decides to go home to the penthouse. Jason let her have it as he considers Elizabeth's home with the boys his, as well. They were both relieved that they can put the divorce behind them and start fresh)
(Jason sees his girl, who is doing some cleaning)
Jason: "Hey, babe."
Liz: (chuckles) "Hey, you."
(They share a kiss before speaking again)
Liz: "Did you get it taken care of?"
Jason: (nods) "Yep. In a matter of days, my marriage to Sam will officially be over." (smiles) "Then we can concentrate on our own family."
Liz: "Mmm, that sounds perfect."
(Their kiss turns passionate. Jason breaks the kiss to ask a question)
Jason: "Where are the boys?"
Liz: "With Gram."
Jason: "Are they due back anytime soon?"
Liz: "No, she took them to the zoo."
Jason: (smirks) "Perfect."
(He takes her in his arms and carries her up the stairs, causing her to squeal)
Liz: "Jason!"
Jason: "I want to be with you. I'm sure you feel the same way."
Liz: "Mmm, you have no idea." (smiles) "I have wanted you for years. I love you, Morgan. Make me yours again."
(They kiss as he carries her up to their bedroom. This was going to be an afternoon that they'd never forget)
***Quartermaine Mansion***
(Emily couldn't remember the last time she smelled her grandmother, Lila's, beautiful flowers in her garden. She was happy to see the flowers were doing wonderfully. As she continues to admire the amazing view, her eyes grow wide when she feels a set of hands over her mouth, causing her to scream)
