Liz is sitting in her living room going over all that has happened. And now Lucky is in town threatening to take her boys. But there was no way that she was going to let him do that. Her boys were her life. Jason knew what a good mother she was. There was no way that he would let Lucky take her sons away from her. And neither would Nikolas. She knows that he is still in love with her and if things start to go south she can use that to her advantage.
There is a knock at her door that pulls her out of her thoughts. She goes to open the door hoping that it is Lucky saying he's wrong and he's not going to take the boys. It's not. She opens the door to reveal Julian Jerome and Alexis Davis. Sam's parents. And both of them look at her as if they would like nothing more than to be rid of her. Julian looks past her and sees her luggage. He gives her an evil smile and says "Taking a trip?"
"What do you want?" Liz asks them after finding her voice.
"Plenty." Alexis tells her in a cold voice. "You have been served." She hands Liz the papers. "A judge has awarded Lucky full temporary custody pending a trial. They won't be coming back here. For a long time. And if I get my way, they won't ever be coming back." Alexis leans in to Liz and whispers "And I intend to get my way, Ms. Webber. You have hurt my daughter for the last time and this time you are going to pay dearly."
Liz looks at her shocked. "You can't take my…"
"She's not. Their father is." Julian tells her.
"There is a court date scheduled in months. Until then you are only allowed supervised visitation with the boys. At Lucky's convenience. And if you ask me, that's way too generous." She turns and walks away but Julian stays behind. He looks her dead in the eyes and says "If you run, I will find you. And I will drag you back here kicking and screaming if I have to. You are going to pay for what you have put my daughter and my grandson through. That is a promise, Lizzy." He turns around and puts his arm around the woman he loves as they walk off leaving the nurse trembling.
"What did you just say?" Jason asks Lucky in his stone cold voice. Sam is so stunned that she doesn't know what to say.
"I know that you have questions but I need to come in to tell you this." Lucky says.
Sam puts her hand on Jason's arm and wordlessly tells him to let him in. He tells Lucky "Come in. But we need to be quiet because Danny is sleeping."
Lucky steps into the room as he says "Of course."
They walk further into the room as Sam asks "Now, you want to explain to us what you just said?" Lucky sighs and goes "I don't even know where to beginning." "The beginning." Jason demands.
"I got a call a couple of days ago from that Hayden woman. She told me everything. So I came back to town to see if it was true. I went to see Liz first and then to see Nikolas. When I got to his place I heard voices coming from his study." He looked at Sam with soft eyes and continued, "He was talking to Helena. I walked into the room and heard her say that if Nikolas didn't stick to the plan that she was going to tell you, Sonny and Jason that he knew Lila was alive." Jason reaches over and grabs his wife when he sees her legs give way.
"What?" she gasps. Jason gets her over to the couch and sits her down before looking over at Lucky.
"Do you have proof? How do you know that Helena wasn't just lying?" he asks.
He looks back and forth from Sam to Jason. "Because Lila was there with Helena. I saw her with my own eyes." Both Sam and Jason go white in the face. "You…you saw her? It's true?" Sam sobs out.
"Yeah," Lucky says with a smile. "And she looks just like you, Sam."
Sam lets the tears freely fall as Jason hold her in his arms. "I know that you guys have had a lot heaped on you in the past 24 hours but I didn't feel right about keeping this from you any longer than it already has been." Lucky tells the both of them.
"No, Lucky you did the right thing. Thank you." Jason tells him as he smooth's his hand down Sam's hair as she continues to cry.
She composes herself enough to ask "Where is she now?"
Lucky smiles at them both as he turns around and heads for the door. He opens it and looks to his left and say "Come on." Sam and Jason look at each other as the both stand up. When a young girl comes into their view they both freeze. They both can't take their eyes off of her. Lila walks into the room as her eyes meet Jason's first. This was the man that was going to raise her. He doesn't really look how she imagined but Luck had told her what had happened to him so she was just grateful that he was ok. He put his entire life on hold for her. He stepped up even when he knew she wasn't his but he didn't care. He can see it in his eyes now that he loved her anyway.
Her eyes then go to her mothers. Her mother. She had a mother. And she was beautiful. Lila stares at her mom and thinks about how she sees similarities between them. They have the same hair and eyes but to Lila her mom is so much more beautiful. She has had dreams of her mother. Of what she looked like. How she smelled. How she felt when she would hold her. But these dreams paled in comparison to the real thing.
Sam walks over to the gorgeous young woman that she sees standing in front of her. This is her daughter. Her baby girl was alive. She brings her hand up and places it on the side of her face. Lila closes her eyes as she feels her mother's touch. She lifts her hand to place it over her mother's and presses it closer to her. "Lila?" Sam whispers softly. She opens her eyes and looks at the people who are her parents.
She gives them a smile and says "Yeah. It's me." Sam lets out a sob as she pulls her daughter toward her and into a hug. Jason puts his hand on the top of Lila's head and wraps his arms around both of his girls and holds on for dear life. "Oh, my god." Sam says as she pulls her back and looks at her. "You are so beautiful!" Sam says with a smile through her tears. "Just like you." Lila smiles back at her.
"I told her as much as I could. I wasn't really close to you guys then but I figured that you guys and Sonny could fill her in on all the important stuff." Luck speaks up.
Sam gasps. "Sonny!" Sam looks at Jason and says "What are we going to do about Sonny? He's not here."
"I can call him. If that's ok with you?" Jason asks Lila.
She smiles brightly at her parents and says "Yeah. I would really like to meet him." "He's going to want to meet you too." Jason pulls out his phone and dials the number of his best friend. "Sonny. Hey it Jason. I know it's late but can you come to the Metro Court? It's really important that you get here." There is a pause before Jason says "Ok. Thanks." He looks over at Sam before he looks at Lila and says "He's on his way."
Lila cannot believe that this is all happening. All her life she dreamed of having a mother and a father and now it is a reality. "I know that this is the last thing on your mind but you and Sonny and going to have to have a DNA test done to prove that she is yours." He says speaking to Sam.
"I know. And we will but I am just so glad that she is alive. Thank you Lucky. Thank you so much." Sam tells him.
"I am just so sorry that this all happened Sam. I have no idea how it happened and when I went to question Nikolas and Helena they were gone."
"What?" Jason demands.
"I don't know, man. When I went looking for them I asked Alfred where they went and he said he was not at liberty to tell me that information. I caught Liz packing also but I put a stop to that. I had Alexis file for sole custody of the boys. I was granted temporary full custody pending a trial that is in three months"
"Good." Jason says. He looks and Sam before saying "We will do whatever we can to make sure that you get the boys."
"Really?" Lucky asks. He knows that Liz did wrong but a part of him can't believe that he is hearing Jason say this.
"She crossed way over the line. And she is going to answer for keeping me away from my family. She wanted to keep me from my son, I have no problem keeping hers from her." He says as if she means nothing to him.
"Thanks, man." Lucky tells him.
Just then there is a knock at the door. Jason looks over at Lila and she gives him a smile letting her know that it's ok. He goes to open the door and let him in. "Hey, man." Sonny says as he walks into the room. "Hey. Thanks for coming."
"No problem. What's going on?" Sonny asks as he notices Lucky. "Well we have something to tell you but you have to promise to stay calm. Danny is asleep in the other room and I don't want to freak him out."
"I promise." Sonny tells him. Jason looks back at Sam who has stood up, blocking Lila from view. He looks back to Lucky and says "Go ahead."
"I came back after I heard from Hayden about what Liz and Nikolas did. When I went to confront Nik, I heard a conversation between him and Helena. As I walked into the room she was threatening him saying that if he didn't stick to the plan then she was going to tell you Sam and Jason that your daughter was alive and he knew about it." Lucky finished, mentally bracing himself for Sonny's reaction.
"What the hell did you just say?" Sonny starts to get angry.
"Sonny." Sam says.
Sonny looks over at Sam. Sam moves out of the way and Sonny's eyes fall on a young girl that can't be more than 15. The same age that his and Sam's daughter would have been. And she was the spitting image of Sam. "Sonny, I want you to meet Lila. Lila," Sam reaches her hand out to her daughter. "This is your father, Sonny Corinthos."
Lila looks at the older man standing in front of her. She moves to stand closer to him as Sonny is frozen in place. Lila can see the similarities in looks between him and her. He finally finds his voice and whispers "Is this real?" Lila smiles at him and he sees his smile. "Yeah. I'm real." She says. He places his hands on either side of her face and looks at his baby girl. He lets the tears fall freely down his face.
