Chapter 76- Mario Kart Fun and an Elevator Scare
"I'm fine," Nina insisted when Sonny brought her to the hospital. "I just want to get home to my girls and the kids."
"And you will," Sonny assured, and they sat down in the waiting area. "I'll take you home right after you see a doctor."
Nina sighed. "I didn't know that it was Ryan Chamberlain…. I thought he was Dr. Collins. I'm so stupid."
"You're not stupid. He is an evil man and he's manipulative."
"But what he did to Willow…. And he must have gotten to Nelle and Wiley too because they acted so afraid of you."
"Hey, the truth is out now. We can get past this."
"Do you really think he's dead?" Nina asked. "Nobody really seems to die in Port Charles."
"I'm sure he'd dead." He wrapped his arm around her, but she flinched. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. Just been a long couple days. More like couple of months…."
GHGHGH
Where could Nelle have gone? Willow wondered as she steadied herself against the wall in the hallway. If she really didn't change, she could be after Wiley. But deep down, she didn't believe that. If she really did upset her sister, she could be out there lost and maybe even hurt. Their mother would never forgive her for this.
She had to find her. She didn't know where to start looking, maybe the lobby to begin with.
She pressed the elevator down button and when the door opened, she hopped on. As the elevator descended, she rubbed her temples. Her vision clouded over and she dropped to the floor.
GHGHGH
"Skye! Are you all right?" Rae said as she and Lila Rae rushed to her side when Jax pushed her in her wheelchair. "Are you hurt?"
Skye sighed. "Broke my leg. I'm certain of it. Other than that, I'm okay."
"Okay, well we'll find you a doctor right away."
"Good," Skye said. "I need to talk to Lila Rae alone."
Lila Rae shifted her feet awkwardly.
Rae and Jax took off to find a doctor and Skye looked up at her daughter. "Lila Rae, why didn't you tell me your father is alive and contacted you?"
Lila Rae avoided eye contact.
"You know he is part of a dangerous world," Skye continued. "You need to tell me these things."
"Oh, come on, Mom, you never tell Grandma anything. You just blame her for everything."
"That's different. Your grandmother… well she's just… she didn't even raise me."
"Look, I thought you'd stop me from meeting my father. I wanted to meet him."
"I didn't even know he was alive," Skye said. "And he hurt me. He hurt both of us."
"But you even say that Grandma hurt you, but she's my favourite person."
Skye groaned. "That's different. No matter how irritating your grandmother is… she's good to you. Your father on the other hand…."
"Grandma's good to you too. You just pick a fight with her constantly and always try to get a rise out of her."
Skye rolled her eyes. "Please, just try to keep in the loop next time."
Lila Rae sighed and didn't respond to that.
GHGHGH
"The blood transfusion worked," Lucas explained to Portia, Taggert, Curtis, and Spencer. "She's still very weak and it'll take time for her to build her strength, but she is well on the road to recovery."
Portia sighed in relief. "Thank you, Lucas."
Taggert headed in to see Trina, but Curtis took Portia's arm. "I want to get a DNA test."
"That's up to Trina," Portia said.
Once Spencer knew Trina was okay, he headed down the hallway and bumped into Josslyn.
"Hey," Josslyn said. "I was looking for you. Is Trina okay?"
He nodded. "She's going to be."
"Well, I'm glad someone is. Spencer, I need your help."
He scrunched his face. "Help with what?"
"Well, since you're the only one who seems to give a da mn about me right now, I want you to be a character witness for me. Tell the courts there was a mistake and Dex was abusing me. I'm going to tell them that I was so scared of him, that he threatened my family if I went to the police. And you can tell them you caught him manhandling me and that you saw him hit me."
He raised an eyebrow. "You want me to lie for you?"
Joss shrugged. "Yeah."
He stared at her for a moment then said, "I can do that."
She grinned.
GHGHGH
"I miss my Daddy," Violet said sadly on Elizabeth's couch.
Elizabeth wrapped her arm around her. "I know, sweetie. It's okay to miss him and it's okay to be sad."
"Hey Violet, want to play some Nintendo Switch with me?" Jake asked.
Elizabeth smiled. "I think that's a great idea."
Jake started to set up the Nintendo Switch and Elizabeth rose when she heard a knock at the door. She found Azami on her porch. "Hello, can I help you?"
"I'm here to see Cameron," Azami said.
"Okay…. Cam! You have company."
Moments later Cameron came downstairs. "Oh, hey Azami."
"Hi, I just wanted to see how you're doing."
He shrugged. "I'm fine."
"Want to get a burger at Kelly's with me?"
"Um, I guess so. I'll just go grab my jacket."
Elizabeth studied Azami. "So, you're the new Cassadine nanny?"
She nodded and glanced at Jake and Violet.
Soon, there was another knock at the door.
This time, Elizabeth found Jason on the porch. "Oh, hi."
"Hey," Jason said. "How are you?"
"Good," Elizabeth said.
"Hey, Dad!" Jake waved to him from the couch.
Jason smiled. "Jake invited me over to play video games. But I get the feeling he didn't say anything to you…."
Jake shrugged. "I forgot. We were kind of focused on Violet."
"If you guys are busy…." Jason looked over at Azami. "And you have company. Maybe Jake and I can plan something another day."
"No," Elizabeth said. "Don't be silly. The kids are playing video games anyway. You might as well join them. I can do laundry in the meantime."
"No, Auntie Elizabeth," Violet said. "I want you to play too. Then we can beat Jake and Jason at Mario Kart!"
Elizabeth smirked. "Well, I do like the sound of beating the boys at some Mario Kart…."
Cameron returned downstairs with his jacket. "Oh, hey Jason. Ready to go, Azami?"
Azami nodded and slipped her arm through Cam's.
Elizabeth scrunched her face at Azami doing that.
"See you later," Cam said.
GHGHGH
After getting the clear from Dr. Webber, Sonny took Nina home. He held the door to the building open for her and she anxiously headed over to the elevator pressing the up button.
"I can't wait to see them." Nina linked her hands together in excitement. "You said you don't know who has been caring for them?"
Sonny shrugged. "It's hard to say. Most were at the wedding. They might've been taking care of themselves. I mean, Willow and Nelle did come to the station on their own."
"But Sasha didn't go to the wedding, so maybe she's been helping them."
The elevator doors opened and Nina screamed. She bent down to Willow who laid their unconscious.
