At Wyndemere, Nikolas is still sitting at his desk staring down at the picture of Sam and Sonny's daughter. Lila. He takes a deep breath and thinks back to the day that his entire life changed.
*Flashback*
As the guards are taking Helena out of the room she is shouting at Nikolas "Wait! Wait! There is something else that I need to tell you!"
"What more could you possibly have to say, old woman?" he asks.
"It's about your bastard cousin's bastard daughter." she smirks.
The blood drains for Nikolas' face. "What?" he whispers
"Sam's daughter. Lila, I believe her name was going to be." She sneers.
"What about her" Nikolas half shouts.
Helena gets the most evil look in her eye that he has ever seen. "She's alive," Helena says. "She is alive and very much well."
*End Flashback*
Nikolas is broken out of his memory when his phone rings. He picks it up and tries to forget all about this secret he is keeping form his family.
Sam looks across the table at Jake and to try and lighten the mood says "Well you're welcome, I guess. I'm glad out near death experience that a positive effect." she smiles at him.
Jake laughs softly and says "It did. And I have to admit that I have an underlying reason for seeking you out." He says with a playful look in his eye.
"Oh really?" Sam asks, just as playful. "And what is that?"
"Well our talk at the hospital had me really intrigued. I realize that you are a true friend and that I would like to get to know you better. Your past seems very…interesting." he smiles.
"Oh, so you are really here to interrogate me," Sam smiles back at his.
"No! Of course, not. I was just hoping that we could talk and spent more time together. I'm told by Carly that that is what real friends do." He laughs. "But I don't want you to reveal more of yourself than you are comfortable." He says seriously.
Sam smiles softly at him and says "Thanks. But I think I felt more comfortable talking to you about my past that I have with anyone since Jason. And I mean you did save my life so I guess I kind of owe you." she smiles.
"No, you don't," she says in a serious tone.
"I'd do it the exact same way all over again if I had to. Making sure you were safe first just came natural." He said, looking at her intently.
"Even though you know it is Hayden that is the one needing saved?" Sam asks shocked. "Every time."
They were both so lost in the moment that they didn't see Elizabeth come in the diner and come over to stand directly next to them. "Jake, what the hell are you doing with Sam?"
