Chapter Four

Dillon had a rough week. He went through testing at the hospital. He told his mother and brother about Clark. Tracy first called Alan and Monica in Arizona, where they had moved when they retired 10 years before, and then she called a lawyer. But their was nothing to be done to Lulu now- twenty years after the adoption.

Still Tracy was fuming mad. Ned was more reasonable. He said, as soon as he heard, "Sign me up to be tested, too, brother."

"Are you sure? There are dangers involved."

"He's your son. Of course I'm sure. He's one of us."

Dillon had hugged Ned then and thanked God he had his support.

But Dillon couldn't face telling his 9 year old son, Mac, or his six year old daughter, Frankie, about their older brother yet. Not when he didn't know if Clark would survive.

He did have some choice words for Lucky though.

He ran into him in Kelly's one afternoon. "Hey, Spencer, we need to talk."

Lucky said to his twenty year old daughter, who was working as a waitress there, "Excuse me, Katie, I'll be right back." then he walked over to Dillon and said "Outside."

Dillon left the diner. He spun around outside and sneered "Don't want your kid to know how you kept mine from me? Her own cousin! Or is she in on it to?"

"Katie Ann had no idea about Lulu's child. We just told her this week."

"How could you live here all these years and never say a word to me about him? Don't you have a conscious?"

"What I have is loyalty to my sister."

"Well isn't that sweet. And a cop-out. I deserved better than this from both of you."

"I'm sorry, Dillon. Once it was done it seemed like it would do more harm than good to say anything."

"That wasn't your call."

"You might be right. But the fact is now you know. And, as a family, we have to face this."

Dillon said, "You had better hope it is not too late to save my son. Because if... if ..it is... I swear

you will pay for helping to keep him from me."

Lucky nodded, knowing he would feel as angry, too, if anyone kept Cameron or Katie away from him.

Meanwhile, the week for Lulu wasn't much better. She stayed in New York and hounded the nurses and doctors for updates.

She even asked if she could go into Clark's room dressed as a nurse just so she could see him up close again.

The doctor gave her a resounding "No" on that one.

Her job, back in L.A., called her ten times a day because she was supposed to be working on a big advertising campaign but had to put some subordinates in charge. They needed their hands held through every decision so she was constantly on her cell phone.

Mid-week her parents arrived from Europe. They lived there full time now.

Luke had no qualms about ignoring the doctors orders. He donned a white lab coat and surgical mask and became Dr. Scwzagabergner, who cracked jokes with Clark for thirty minutes before a nurse shooed him out.

While Luke was unpredictable, Laura was a stabilizing force. She held her daughter as she cried one night, reliving all the pain of her choice made many years ago and where it had led them.

Laura and Luke were there with her and Dillon when they went to hear the results of Dillon's and Ned's test.

Tracy, Luke and Laura had been ruled out from donating a kidney because of their age.

Dr. Phillips said, "I'm throughly gone over the results of Lulu, her brother Lucky Spencer, her brother Nikolas Cassadine and, as I have told Lulu already, none of them make a suitable match for a donor. Unfortunately,"

Lulu's heart dropped.

"Either do," he read off the list in front of him "Dillon Quatermaine, Brooklyn Quatermaine or Ned Quatermaine."

"So what do we do now?" Luke asked

"Is there any chance he will get a kidney off the national donor list?" Laura asked

Dillon and Lulu just looked at each other, with terror in their eyes.

The doctor said, "Honestly, I can't say when a kidney from the list might become available and Clark would have to be in grave condition to qualify for it."

"Is he?" asked Lulu

"We are keeping him stable with daily dialysis. He could live for months like that. Exactly how long is impossible to say. Are there anymore family members to be tested? Or friends? Though their odds are much lower it has been known to happen that an unrelated person matches well."

"We could ask Elizabeth and Emily." Lulu said

"We'll keep testing people till we find a match." Dillon said "Hell, I'll buy a kidney if I have to."

"You sound just like Edward." Luke said

Dillon ignored him, he looked at the doctor "Can't you use mine? Are you sure it won't work? He's got half my DNA."

"I"m sorry, sir. No, we can't."

Dillon felt the energy escape his body. He sagged back in his chair.

Silently he said, Georgie, you got to help me, angel girl. We have to save my son.

Another week went by and more people went in for testing. This time Lucky and Nikolas, who had flown in from Greece where he lives with Emily and their kids, were with Lulu and Dillon in the doctor's office.

Dr. Phillips said, " I have the new results." he said "Elizabeth Spencer, Emily Cassadine, Maxie Smith, Kristina Corinthos, Molly Lansing, Cameron Webber Spencer and Spencer Cassadine all did not match. But I do have some positive news."

"Oh my God,"Lulu cried happily "who is it?"

"Katherine Spencer would make an ideal match."

Lucky's mouth dropped.

Lulu looked at her brother with questioning eyes.

Dillon asked him, "Would she do it? Would you let her?"

Lucky stumbled over his words as he said, "I, um, I just... don't know."
