Thank you for all the great feedback, but I need to know what you think, if you want more, let me know. My muse is greedy…
Chapter Fifty-Six
Sonny had seen the headlights pulling into his driveway, but after twenty minutes of nothing, he finally knew, he was going to be the one to have to go out there. At this point he just didn't have a choice.
Brenda had already gone to bed, so he had been sitting in the dark room, now he slipped his feet into his shoes and headed out to the vehicle.
He stepped up to Max, and once again couldn't help the bubble of laughter that swelled out of him. The priceless look on Max's face was something that would warm Sonny's heart for years to come.
"So, how long have they been at it?" Sonny asked.
"I don't even know, let's see the got in the limo about 12:30am and it is now 5:00am, I guess that tells you, but, do you think a little blue pill was the cause, because how?" Max said perplexed.
He was young and had a healthy sex drive, but from what he could tell no one could sustain that kind of passion for long. And if it was natural, he only wished he could feel something like that.
Sonny once again the laughter came, this time though it was a little quieter, but still very rich. "Max, Jason is young, in love and I am sure he had all the right, persuasions to keep him, shall we say awake."
Max just looked at his boss, in actuality, he never really thought Jason would use said little blue pill seeing as how getting Jason to take anything pill related was like pulling teeth, but he still couldn't imagine five hours or more of uninterrupted passion. Sure there were quiet moments, but he didn't really believe that they were just laying in one another's arms.
Okay that was it, he needed to get out of here, he couldn't continue to think like this, this thinking led to badness. Besides the point, he was very uncomfortable thinking about Jason's beautiful wife. Would this never end, his body felt all wrong, like his muscles weighted more, and his skin felt unusually tight, stretched like a canvas over a frame.
"So boss, can you Ahh… Be the one to bother them, there is no way I can, not again." Max asked, looking anything like the unflappable guard of before.
"Why don't you, oh right, you need the car. Okay, step back, I will handle this." Sonny said, stepping to the back door. He too did not want to be the one to interrupt, but it was important.

Luke left the police station in a huff, he needed to speak to someone, the love of his life, even if she couldn't answer him, he needed it. So instead of heading back to the Q mansion, he stopped off at Shadybrook, it was late, but he didn't have to worry about that. He came and went as he pleased anyway.
He sat in the car, suddenly unable to move. He wanted nothing more than to share his concerns with Laura, he wanted to lay it all out for her, wanted to hear her melodious voice telling him it would all be okay.
He wasn't a man who lived for the fantasies of life, the here and now always served him better, but at this moment, he couldn't help the longing that coursed through his body and made him truly want Laura back in his life as a permanent fixture.
He did care about Tracy, but it could never be the same, she was not his Angel, that was the full embodiment of Laura. So with a steel resolve, he pulled his weary form from the car and headed inside.

Jason held her form tightly against him, this night had been unexpected, it was unexpected, considering everything that had happened. Of course this was just a preview for what was going to come on their honeymoon, he was sure of that.
He knew Elizabeth wanted to go Italy for the honeymoon, but he was thinking somewhere more… Intimate, private, a place where they never had to leave the comforts of their room.
Of course convincing him to leave their room at home was going to be hard after everything that happened tonight, he could truly die a happy man, locked securely in her arms.
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door, he had to mentally shake himself, he couldn't recall when the car had stopped. Elizabeth quickly grabbed her dress, trying to cover her nudeness.
Jason slowly lowered the window, trying to grasp his mind around the fact that they were parked and it seemed like for some time. He clearly recalled telling Max to drive.
When Sonny's face popped into view, Jason understood something was wrong.
"Sonny can you get your robe, we umm, could use it." Jason said
Sonny couldn't help but chuckle, his dimples springing to view. "Max, go grab it, it is in the laundry room."
"Yes boss." Max said, but he was his own worst enemy, he couldn't help the small peaking look that he stole as he walked by the car. When Jason's eyes flashed dangerously, it momentarily froze him to the spot. But self preservation was what finally had him moving. And once again he was left wondering what brain cells had been fried, during that small heavenly view back in the…. Oh...God…Would this never end. He ran for the house, there was nothing else he could do.

Jason didn't bother saying anything else, he pushed the button raising the window. He turned back to Elizabeth, he thought he would see a rose colored blush resting heavily upon her cheeks, but there was no embarrassment whatsoever, the only thing touching her skin was the unearthly glow that seemed to radiate from inside.
Unable to stop himself, he leaved over, capturing her lips with his. He knew that Max would be rushing and that getting one another worked up again wasn't a smart idea, considering he had to speak to Sonny, but he was helpless to stop himself.
His left arm, snaked around her waist, slowly drawing her back onto his ever firming lap. He didn't know how he was going to ever make it away from her, he wanted, no he needed to be physically in contact with her, it eased some of the longing that refused to abate.
Before he was aloud to get much further in his quest, Sonny was once again knocking on the window. Jason growled in either anger or frustration, whichever it was, he quickly flicked the switch and allowed the window to roll down, but not before encompassing Elizabeth once again in the dress. He grabbed the robe and mumbled something incoherently as the window closed.
"Here you put this on, and if you want, I can have Max take you home." Jason said, already hating the idea, he didn't want her alone with him, but he also didn't want to risk her being alone.
"Whatever you like, I don't see us making it to the hotel tonight, so I may just have to go kiss our boys and check up on them." Elizabeth said, the entire time though, she was looking at Jason with the same longing that started the night. It was beyond challenging trying to tear her eyes away from him.
Jason quickly slipped his boxers and pants back on, not really wanting to be confined by clothes, but parading around in his birthday suit in front of Sonny was also something he wasn't willing to do. So he put the offensive clothes back on, a slight grumble about timing escaped his lips. But he was too happy to maintain the gruff attitude.
Noticing that Elizabeth was fully covered, Jason begrudgingly opened the door. With Liz's hand clasped in his, the two slowly emerged from the car.

Luke sat in the chair that Laura normally sat in, during the long days. It felt wonderful just being able to be close to her, it was not and could never be anything like having her full of life. And even though he was a greedy man by nature, he was going to take what he could get for the time being.
He took her hand in his, placing a gentle kiss to her palm and then her knuckles. It still baffled him to know, that she had chosen him again and again. There really was no one like Laura.
"Hey baby. I know you probably can't hear me, or that is what the doctors believe, but I can't, I need you now more than ever. Our son had gone and done it again, but this time, I don't think there is a single thing I can do to repair the damage. I love him, you know I do, but I don't know what I can do to help." Luke said, surprised by the tears that fell down his cheeks in what felt like a torrent.
"He has done some stupid things before, but I truly believe this takes the cake. He tried to have Elizabeth killed, he threatened her children, baby, this is not our son, he would never, but this person he is now, I don't know what I can do, it's like Helena…" Luke suddenly stopped. Yes it all made sense now, it had to be Helena Cassadine, she had to be behind Lucky's transformation.
Of course it didn't really make sense why Helena would use Lucky to kill Elizabeth, it's not like they were together anymore. But the longer he thought about it, the more it made sense. Of course it could just very well be he was losing his mind right along with his son. He!!, it could be a family thing, before long all the Spencer's would be patients of Shadybrook.
He couldn't afford to sit around and do nothing, his son's life was at risk and he knew just who he could go to for help, or hoped he could.
He placed a soft kiss to Laura's forehead, then a bear scrape of his lips upon hers. To him, he wasn't being unfaithful, it was just his hearts way of giving her a sign, even one so small, that he still thought about her and loved her.

"Elizabeth, might I say you look positively radiant in my robe." Sonny said, dropping a salacious wink in her direction, while heartily clapping Jason on the back.
"Good evening to you too. Listen, I will get out of your way, I just wanted to say hello." Liz said, preparing to duck back into the vehicle.
Sonny's hand came out of no where and gently but firmly stalled her progress. "No please, this is something you need to hear as well, shall we go inside, or would you prefer to go home and change first?"
"Thank you Sonny, but I am fine, so long as you don't mind me getting this back to you tomorrow." Liz said, a slight redness finally creeping into her cheeks.
"That's fine, please, come in." Sonny said, directing the pair into the house. "Max, why don't you head home, I will have Johnny take them home when they are ready."
"Sure boss, what ever you say, so long as you are sure." Max said, practically jumping out of his skin for the chance to get away.
"Yes, yes, just go." Sonny said in an offhanded manor.

Nikolas had come home, expecting to find things in disarray or something, but you couldn't even tell that anything had happened, nothing as ground moving as a death, but there had been, and for once, Nikolas actually felt badly for his lack of a relationship with Sam.
But he was not one to indulge in fits of fantasy, at least when it came to the dead. And besides it was to late now to worry about the past, he had one large problem in his future.
Nikolas was not looking forward to having to deal with that particular problem, but he couldn't, like he had hoped, desert him. Lulu would never forgive him, so against his better judgment, he started going through the possibilities.
Another idea popped into his mind and he had to squelch the desire to pound something. He had to tell Emily what was going on, her and Lucky had been close for so long, this was going to kill her. She always took things personally, and all he wanted to do was protect her.
As his mind turned to Emily, the same thoughts that had been running through Luke's mind, now ran through his. Perhaps it wouldn't have taken so long, if he could have just gotten past the feelings of betrayal . Nevertheless, he was now thinking of his grandmother, and the endless possibilities that she had at her disposal, and what she could have done, caused a chill to sweep his body. No, he didn't like where this was heading one bit…
