Derek smiled as his sister asked if knew how awfully forgiving he was. "I wasn't always that way." He admitted honestly. He use to not even know the meaning of the word. When he couldn't make his parents proud and grew fed up with trying to live up to their expections..It took him years and years to forgive them for that. And when Lily, his first wife, had a miscarriage he had hard time forgiving her even though he knew she caused it unintentionally. And lastly when he couldn't save Claire's life he couldn't forgive himself..That one he's still dealing with. But for the most part he's changed and is more forgiving now than he ever has been. Most people get burned or hurt and became harder and less forgiving but in Derek's case it was just the opposite. The hardships and trials he's had to overcome forced him to grow up in a hurry and now he's knows what's most important in life. Loving and never taking for granted the people that you love. For Derek that's Madison and Serena..And his parents. They may be thousands of miles away but they've been on good terms for awhile now and they'll always be his family.

Watching as Serena looked at the cards in awe, smiling. Madison will be happy to hear she likes them. Oh, awesome!..I wanted to see her. I also want to thank her for the cards. You have one creative daughter.' Derek nodded, a proud smile coming to his face. "Yeah..She loves to draw." He told her, taking the cards back to put them on her nightstand. Maybe he was bias since he was her father and all but he doesn't know any other five year old that could draw like that. "And don't worry you'll be able to thank her." He assured her with a small smile and nod. "She's still with the sitter now but Mackenzie's suppose to be dropping her off before noon. She'll be so happy to see your okay." Derek told her, taking her hand and giving it a small squeeze. "So they want to keep you here for a few days, you okay with that? I think its probably a good idea. It wont be too bad, you'll be released by Tuesday or Wednesday I'm sure."



Kate narrowed her eyes when her brother revealed who was responsible for the condition he was in. She recognized the name instantly. He was the once the right hand man to the now deceased New Jersey crime boss Charles Kinsmen. Supposedly Christian left New Jersey after his death and traveled from here to there doing different jobs along the way. Up until now Kate didn't have any beef with him. She never had a reason to. Now she does. He would pay for what he did to Bastian and Tess and if she had to personally see to it than so be it. Nobody gets away with hurting Sebastian. Not ever. 'Who I'm going to help you kill..' Hearing her sisters voice, Kate came out of her thoughts and glanced back to Tess. "So he can bang you up some more? No I don't think so, I'll take care of him." The angry blonde told her firmly. Bastian was in bad enough shape she wasn't about to let her sister meet the same type of fate. Kate could tell Tess was not okay with that and wanted to say something back but before she had much of a chance the doctor came in, interrupting their conversation.

'I've got some good news and some bad news. I'm going to need to two of you to leave the room.' The doctor told them and was met with two very un-amused face's from Kate and Tess. Did this idiot have any idea who he was talking to? She had to wonder with the way he so casually told them to leave. Opening her mouth to let it be known they were staying before she could her baby brother did it for her. 'They're family. They stay..' Looking back to Sebastian as he sat up she frowned slightly when he told them they better sit down. "Come on don't talk that way. Your going to be fine." Kate insisted not at all liking how down Bastian was looking.

'The good news is there's no internal damage.' The doctor started again, brining Kate's attention back on him. "And the bad?" Kate sighed, convinced whatever it was couldn't be that bad..That is until the doctor spoke again. 'I'm sorry Sebastian but you have cancer and it's not good.' Gulping, Kate ran her hand through her hair holding it there on top her head for a few moments. He was wrong…There had to be some kind of mix up or something because what he was telling them was unacceptable.'The cancer is at stage four and progressing at a rapid speed. It's inoperatable and it is terminal.' Shaking her head, she faked a smile in attempt to keep her emotions in check. "No..No, your wrong. Somebody screwed up his results or mixed them up or something..Run the tests again..Or better yet we'll get a second opinion elsewhere, right Bastian?" Kate ranted angry at the doctor in complete denial.

When her brother didn't answer she turned around to look at him. "You don't have cancer. Your healthy, your fine." She nodded. Losing Sebastian would be unbearable for her..Living in denial was easier but as she stared at him she realized he already knew. She could read him like a book and the guilt in his eyes wasn't hard to see. "You knew about this? And you didn't tell me?" How could he not tell her? She could have done something..If she had known sooner maybe they would have caught the cancer before it spread. "How could you not tell me Sebastian? How long have you known? How long?" Kate demanded clearly angry and hurt but more than both of those things she was scared. They'd find a way, somehow she'd find away because she can't lose him. It's always been him and her, she's nowhere near ready for that to change. "I'm going to find a way to fix this Bastian..I will find somebody that can help you." And she would. Whatever it took..Whatever it cost. "Your not leaving me." Kate finished in a whisper, fighting back the urge to cry. She, Kate Valmont, does not shed tears for just anyone. But Sebastian's not just anyone. He's the person the matters most to her in this world. Always has been and always would be.

OOC: More coming tomorrow! Also, Constance is open if anyone wants her

[angel_wings05]

Reluctantly taking his hand, Ridley stood up and let him pull her into a hug. It was clear he had no idea she knew the truth about him. If he did she highly doubted he'd be there playing the part of the worried boyfriend..Soon he would probably switch to supportive mode. Was it not enough that Molly was in a hospital bed fighting for her life? Molly could die and all he was concerned about was playing her to get to her sister. It was all an act…Everything since the very beginning. He was still acting. Sick at the thought, Ridley pulled away and slapped Eric hard across his face using every bit of strength she had do so.

“You bastard..” She whispered, leaning against the bed for support. “Are you happy now? I mean your getting what you wanted right Eric? Or should I say Carver?” Ridley paused for a moment, nodding a little as she continued. “Yeah that’s right, I know everything." How stupid was she to ever trust a word that came out of his lying mouth. Had she been so desperate to have someone that she allowed herself to be completely blind to who he really was…Everyone warned her against him. Tasha, Jamie, Molly..They all told her over and over that he was no good for her and she didn’t listen. She didn’t want to hear them. No she wanted to believe that an honest sweet good guy wanted to be with her. She knows better now. Never again would Ridley allow herself to be so foolish and so vulnerable like she was with him. “I don’t know what hurts worst the fact that I stupidly defended you over and over to my friends and family or knowing that you’ve been lying to me ever since we met.” Ridley cried angrily, running her hand through her hair as she sat back down on the edge of the bed. She knew this confrontation was coming she just wished it could have happened when she had more energy and didn’t feel so weak. “I trusted you..I cared about you…How could you do this to me?”

He was someone she could have loved…And she would have too with everything she had. Whatever feelings she may or may not have for Jamie wouldn’t have really mattered. She would have still allowed herself to fall for Eric either way because deep down she knows her feelings for Jamie are a nowhere road. The truth was she was already well on her way to falling for Eric before this bombshell was dropped in her lap. If things between them had been the real deal and he hadn’t lied to her like he has been than she would have given herself to him completely despite what she feels for her closest friend. Jamie’s having a baby with Laura. Eventually he’ll be with her again and Ridley would have been right in her decision to move on and be happy with someone else. She had really thought the man standing in front of her could have been that someone. Too bad everything she thought she had with him turned out be a complete lie. Just knowing that he probably didn’t even care about what he just ruined made it sting all the more. God she hated this. She hated hurting like this. He manipulated and used her in every way. She let him into her life and her heart and now she was paying for it. And so was Molly. “Why are you even here?” It was a reasonable question given everything. In fact she was surprised he hadn't skipped town already..Then again maybe he would have if he had known she knows the truth about him.

OOC: Sorry she probably isn't the best bes cause it's late and I'm tired but I wanted to get her out tonight lol. Natalie coming tomorrow!



Natalie was relieved when Michael agreed to keep her in the loop with this. It just made things easier because she was going to be involved no matter what he said and the last thing she wanted to do was fight over it. They needed to stick together now more than ever, Caroline's life could depend on it. Whoever did this wanted to hurt them. The fact that they took what mattered most to them told her this wasn't just business it was personal. Natalie didn't even know where to begin looking. She has enemies, quite a few of them too, but she never thought any of them could be capable of such a crime. Natalie sighed as she looked up the ceiling and forced back her tears. Why couldn't it have been her? She would give anything to trade places with her baby girl right now..Anything.

'Hey, they'll call. They will. They're just screwing with us Nat.' Hearing Michael speak, Natalie moved her hands to her forehead and ran her hands through her hair. Suddenly she used her arm to swipe off some of the items on the desk she was sitting near, in attempts to try and release some of her anger and frustration. "Well it's working..I've never been more terrified in my life." Natalie admitted, sighing softly as she leaned into him for support. She doesn't know what she's suppose to do. She's never been without Caroline before..Yeah she's been away from her but never like this. She's never not known where her daughter was and now that's it happened to her and she knows what it feels like she knows there couldn't possibly be a more horrible feeling. It was the worse feeling Natalie's ever experienced. Not knowing where Caroline was and who has her is a million times more terrifying than anything that happened at last's nights chaotic masked ball.

Closing her eyes at the feeling of Michael's softly kissing her forehead Natalie leaned into his embrace even more, clinging on to him for support. In this moment Michael was her life line..The only thing keeping her feet on the ground. Her sanity would be completely gone right now if he wasn't there telling her everything would be okay and promising he was going to bring their baby home. 'You can trust me.' After a moment or two, Natalie opened her eyes and wiped away her tears as she reluctantly pulled back from their embrace. "I know." She whispered with a soft nod. "It's just..The not knowing is killing me..you know?" She admitted softly before looking away from him for a brief moment. "Thank you.." Taking his hand Natalie offered him a small weak smile. "For being here." She was a mess right now with him here with her now she couldn't imagine what shape she'd be in if he wasn't here. "Though..I'm not sure how you got here so fast." She had a good idea though. "..Unless you were already in Port Charles when I called you." Natalie added, assuming that was the case and as she looked at him she knew she was right. "It's okay..I'm not asking for an explanation, I don't really need one because honestly right now I'm just...I’m really glad you’re here Michael.” She told him with a small shrug of her shoulders. “I don’t think I’d be able to handle this by myself..Actually I know I couldn’t."

[Shiri S]

'Either you're new to town or you've been living on the moon for the last fifteen years'. "Neither is the case. I only know the names of families in the town that I need to and Alcazar is not one of them" He replied with a shrug.

Helena did not tell him very much about any families in the town except for those connected to him like the Spencers of which his aunt, uncle, cousins and grandmother were part of. As well as the Smiths, of which his mother and sisters were part of. He had also been told about those still part of the Cassadine family.

Only two out of all of those families did he connect with and that was Molly, his distant cousin, and Vivian, his sister on his father's side. He had no desire to interact with his other family members unless interaction with them benefited him. Since he had not come up with a way for that to happen yet, he was perfectly content just knowing his cousin and sister. He didn't need to know anyone else.

'Just the name has the tends to scare of all my lovers'. "I've been told my name has the same effect"

She went silence after that and he just smirked at her reaction to his words. She looked shocked that he wasn't listening to her wishes and leaving. His harsh bluntless and defiance of doing what he was asked often had that effect on people. It amused him to the point where he said no when he should say yes just to get are reaciton out of them.

'Fine do whatever you want but I'm leaving...I appreciate all your help but I need to see someone'. "Suit yourself" He shrugged, standing up as she did. He didn't even bothing help her get up. If she was going to be stubborn and insist on doing it on her own, he was going to let her. He only reached out when it looked like she was going to fall again. She did and he was right there to scoop her up in his arms again.

'Okay. Maybe you're right'. "I am. You should have listened to me" He told her in a know it all type of way. If she had just listened to him then she woudn't have fallen again. That's all there was to it. He knew it and now she would know it too. 'I'm sorry I'm just worried about...a friend and my family'. "We both are" He pointed out, remembering why he had come there in the first place.

He soon settled her back in the bed and didn't hesistate to formally introduce himself after she did. "Haldis Ammon Sergios Cassadine at your service, but you can just call me Hal. Everyone else does"

While he rather liked his full name, it was often hard for people to prounce so he had gotten accoustomed to being called Hal when he arrived in the states. He didn't mind it much, though he was sure Helena was rolling around in the grave at the thought of it since she had picked out his name herself. She never hesistated to remind him of that now and then when she was alive.



"Hey watch it" She stated when Taylor spit out water in her general direction. She moved over in her bed a little bit so she and London wouldn't get hit with the water. Thankfully, Taylor turned her head when she spit out the water so they didn't get wet at all. 'I must have heard you wrong did you say six years? Six freaking years Meredith'. "Six years" She confirmed, nodding her head as she moved back into her position on the bed.

While Taylor ranted and raved, both yelling at her and cursing Chase all in one breath, she focused on her daughter. It was better to let her friend go off as she wanted to then talk when she was done. She leanred that a long long time ago. She smiled to herself when she heard London burp then she adjusted her back in her arms while laying her head back. She just nodded her head a little bit at what Taylor told her then when she was done ranting, she spoke up.

"She's actually not that bad" She replied, speaking honestly about Constance. She didn't know her sister in law that well but what she did know of her, she was a pretty decemt person. Well except for the cheating business the girl did when she first got there that resulted in so many fights between the married couple while she lived in their house but Taylor hadn't asked about Constance's flaws so she didn't see the need to mention it. "I don't hate her" She added on, knowing that mattered alot. If she hated someone, they were horrible but if she didn't, than that meant that theyw ere good people.

"Sure. Just make sure you hold her head" She advise her as she reached up and held London out to her aunt. She wasn't offically her aunt but Taylor was like a sister to her so she might as well be. Now that her arms were free, she took the time to mess with her hair and get it out of her face. It was still how it was the night before and with all that happened, it got pretty messed up so now it was all over the place. It kind of annoyed her.



There was shock and anger on his features when Cameran told him that Caroline had been kidnapped. He and Caroline shared a bond during the time that he was friendly with her mother. It infuriated him that someone had taken her. In his mind, children were off limits when it came to organized crime. Hell they were off limits no matter what. His father had never taken children and he never had or will either.

It was just against the rules. Clearly someone wasn't following those rules. He vowed to get to the bottom of who took her even after his right hand man told him that he had someone on it. This was a job he had to take care of himself. "Having just Carter on it isn't good enough. I'm doing this job myself" He insisted as he reached up and ran a hand through his hair. There was no way Carter was just taking care of things. No way.

'Also Meredith's actually awake. London's with them now if you want to see them'. His mind began racing when he heard that. He needed to put more protection on his sister and his neice now that Caroline had been kidnapped. If someone could kidnap her, what's to say that his niece couldn't get kidnapped too? He had to do all he could to protect them even more now. Nothing would happen to them under his watch. Nothing.

Deciding that he needed to tell her as well as see his niece, he walked away from Cameran as soon as he went to talk to his mom. What ever he needed to tell him wasn't as important as protecting his sister to him. He would talk to him about whatever it was later after he hitred a few extra guards and spoiled the hell out of his neice.



To get her mind off of Chase, Meredith decided to let Taylor know what had happened with her and Cameran in the past few months since she came back. She hadn't completely filled her in during the phone converasation that they've recently shared.

So much has happened in the past and it was nice to finally talk to someone about it and get their perspective on it. She could have talkted to Lainey about it but it was nice to get an outside view on it. No one told their opinion like Taylor and sometimes it was just what she needed to hear. She had never kept a secret from Taylor for that reason.

"Don't give me that look" She finished, laughing alittle bit at the look her best friend was giving her. There was no words attached to her look because the look said it all. Her looks often did that. Taylor could be very non verbal when she wanted to be and now one was one of those times.

Before the two could continue on talking, someone walked into the room and interrupted them. "Meredith, I'm going to have to put some more guards -- "

The voice that belong to the oldest Alcazar in the room stopped when he saw who was with his sister as she turned around. He blinked a few times and felt almost sick to his stomach. Was that really Taylor? He felt like he was dreaming. However, he knew he wasn't when Meredith spoke up.

"I thought you were with Constance?" She asked, a little bit of panic in her voice at the fact that she couldn't keep Taylor and Chase seperated like she wanted to. This was not going to go well. Not well at all.

"I ... uh ... yeah. But she's fine, so we were just going to ... head home soon" He stambled out, his eyes resting on his wife that he had not seen in nearly a decade. He wouldn't even know his sister was in the room if she didn't keep talking.

"That's good to hear. What's this about putting more guards on me? I already have two, why do I need more?" She asked as she crossed her arms over her chest. She knew that asking him questions was probably useless with Taylor in the room but she wanted to know anyway. She hated having guards. When he didn't answer right away, she got an annoyed look on her face. "Hello! Earth to Chase"

That made him snap out of it and he finally looked to his younger sister. "We can talk about it later"

"Fine" She agreed, knowing that they wouldn't be able to have the talk now with his attention on Taylor. He went back to staring and she just let out a sigh. "Mom called her"

"Oh" Was all he could say as he stared at the beauty infront of him. She gotten more beautiful since the last time he saw her. He could hardly believe how breathtaking she was now. It was astonishing.

[angel_wings05]

Rolling her eyes, Taylor let out a sigh as she stood up from her chair. "Really not helping here Mere...I don't know can't you just pretend to hate her, for my sake? I'm only here for like a week so humor me okay? I promise as soon as I leave you can feel free to go back to your new bff and forget all about me." Taylor half joked as she carefully took London off her mothers hands. As she sat back down she saw the look Meredith was giving her and couldn't help but smile. "I'm sorry okay. You see this is what your brother does to me. He makes me immature and petty and jealous and.." She trailed off, sighing softly as she gently rocked her newborn niece. Letting out a small laugh, Taylor continued. "I'm over him Meredith you don't have to worry. I mean I've been with plenty of guys since Chase and you know even if he was single it wouldn't matter because I don't want him anymore, I've moved on with my life I just...I didn't expect him to move on as quick as he did." Taylor admitted with a small shrug. It took her years, not to mention thousands of dollars of therapy, to get over him and even now she's not completely...It was the precise reason why she was avoiding him at all costs and hoping they wouldn't cross paths during her short visit to Port Charles. He has this way of getting under her skin and he hardly even has to try. She can't let him see the effect he still has on her, she can't let him know how much she still cares about him and the only way she knows how to do that is by not seeing him at all.

"Hi London, I'm your auntie Taylor." She spoke sweetly to her niece, a soft smile gracing her face as she stared down at the angel in her arms. "I can already see you in her." Taylor mused as she gently stroked London‘s soft cheek. While Meredith started to talk about Cameran, Taylor kept her attention on her niece and looked up every now and then as she listened. 'Don't give me that look.' Her best friend finished, unable to ignore the serious unamused face Taylor wore."How can I not?" The snarky brunette responded only looking out for her well being. "I’m just worried about you Meredith…I don’t wanna see you make the same mistakes I did. Cameran is Chase’s enforcer first, last, and always..The business will always come first with him. Do you really wanna live like that?” It was a reasonable question considering what Cameran’s profession was. Just as Taylor was about to go on before she could they were interrupted by another voice.

Naturally it was the voice of the one person she really didn’t wanna see. Taylor would recognize his voice anywhere. She didn’t even need to look up to know who it was but before she could stop herself she found herself doing exactly that. The second she made eye contact with her ex-husband she instantly regretted it..He looked good. Even better than she remembered. His hair was longer and he looked older (in a good way) but time was kind to him. Luckily Meredith quickly broke the awkward silence and addressed Chase with a question. Focusing her attention back on her tiny niece even though she wasn’t looking at him Taylor could feel his eyes on her as he stammered out that he and her replacemen--Er..wife were about to head home. When Meredith asked him another question and he didn’t respond, although she was curious to why he wasn’t answering she kept her attention on the baby, determined not to look up.Though as Meredith spoke again, yelling the words ‘earth to Chase’ at her brother she realized he was still looking at her and couldn’t stop a small smile from coming to her face. Quickly concealing the smile she shook her her a little. After the two siblings finished talking and the room became silent once more, Taylor lifted her head and looked from Meredith over to Chase. “Nice to see you too Chase.” Taylor greeted with her signature sarcastic smile. Although she appeared calm and casual the truth was on inside she was bouncing off the walls.

Carefully handing London back to her mother she stood up and smiled down at her friend. “She’s amazing. Congratulations beautiful. I’m so proud of you.” Taylor told her as she reached forward to give her a light hug. “And your mother is too. She’ll be here as soon as she can.” She promised, relaying Skye’s message to her. When they pulled back she offered her friend a small smile as she continued. “Anyways I think I’m going to go…” Taylor paused for just a moment and glanced over at Chase. It was so much easier to avoid dealing with him then to actually have to deal with him. Besides there wasn’t anything left that needed to be said..It was all said the last time they spoke eight years ago. Her leaving would just be easier..for both of them. “I have some work to get done and…I haven’t had a chance to settle into my hotel room yet.” Her excuses were reasonable because neither one was a lie. “I’ll come back later.”--When Chase is gone, she finished internally. It wasn’t that she wasn't happy to see him because she'd be lying if she said she hasn’t thought about this day every day for the last eight years. She just never imagined it would be this hard. Facing the past hurt too damn much and running away was all she could think to do…Chase should know all about that trick, after all she learned it from him.

OOC: So sorry. I will post soon. I'm sorta pissed off over something so trivial you'll all laugh , but yes, posting soon

[angel_wings05]

Logan leaned against the elevator wall with his arms folded across his yet while he waited to reach the fifth floor. When he first arrived at the hospital with Leigha a few hours ago he stayed by her side and tried his best to support her while she feared the worst for her sisters. After waiting for a little while they found Ridley had been a little banged up but she would be fine while Molly on the other hand was in critical condition. They were at the hospital for about an hour when Logan suggested they go home, check on Drake, get cleaned up and then come back. Leigha didn’t wanna leave though despite his insisting so he went home alone. He took a shower and checked on Drake and now he was back at the hospital hoping he’d be able to talk Leigha into coming home with him. He considered bringing Drake with but since he was pretty cranky and it was almost time for his nap anyways he decided he was better off at home.

Hearing the ding of the elevator Logan looked up as the elevator doors opened. As he walked he thought about Leigha. Ever since they left Wyndemere it was almost like she was in a daze. She barely said two words to him other than how worried she was about her sisters. Granted she was probably just in shock from the prior nights brutal attacks but still, he couldn’t help but worry. Sighing as he rounded the corner, Logan stopped when he spotted Leigha sitting in the waiting room. She looked exhausted. Her once beautiful and spotless white dress was now dirty, torn, and ripped and she still appeared just as shaken up as she was when they first got there.

Walking over to her he came to a stop when he was standing in front of her chair. “Hey..” Logan whispered as he gently touched his finger to her chin to get her to look at him. He used the sleeve of his long sleeved shirt to wipe off a black smudge that was on her cheek. “I know you wanna stay Leigha but just look at yourself your exhausted.” He sighed. “Please come home with me. You can get cleaned up and rest for an hour…And then we can come right back here and check on your sisters again.” Logan insisted as he gently stroked her hair. “You’ve been up all night, you need a break Leigh.“ Pausing for just a moment he offered her his hand. “Come on…Let me take you home.”

'I am. You should have listened to me.'

Lainey rolled her eyes playfully at the mysterious strangers arrogance. "So sue me, I'm stubborn." She replied with a small laugh. After apologizing and telling him she was just worried he reminded her they both were. With a small nod in response, Lainey offered him a weak smile as she leaned back in her bed. It was no use to try and leave again when she would probably only end up falling just like her previous attempts. Besides..Getting to know the man who caught her not once but twice now wasn't all that bad. He was actually pretty good company and the fact he seemed complicated and frustrating certainly didn’t hurt matters. Waiting for him to tell her his name an amused smile came to her face when he finally did.

"Wow..That's quite a mouth full." Lainey laughed. Cassadine..The name sounded familiar. Of course, that‘s right. He owned the Wyndemere mansion. Now his concern for her made a little more sense..Though not completely. It wasn’t like he was real worried about checking on any of the other injured victims. Guests that went to his his place who had been far more hurt than she was. That sicko who came after her tried to scar her for life. He wanted to have his way with her and probably kill her afterwards but he failed. She fought back. Of course she did, she was an Alcazar not some Smith or Lansing little weakling..However if Gavin hadn’t shown up when he did she shuddered to think of what might have happened. “So Wyndemere belongs to you..That’s why you apologized for my being hurt..” Trailing off, Lainey winced from the pain when she moved herself a little and readjusted herself in the bed.

“You don’t have to be sorry. You didn’t do anything and you certainly couldn’t have known what was going to happen.” She paused for just a moment, letting out a soft sigh as she slightly shrugged her shoulders at him. “Whoever did this wanted to make my brother pay for some reason or another..That’s why I was attacked, that’s why he was shot…Your not responsible in anyway..” There was no way Gavin’s family was responsible for last nights heinous crimes either. For starters Michael had just come back to town from what she saw and she highly doubted he would have hired men to raid the island with so many of his family members there. She was more inclined to believe they were just as much of targets as her family were.

Lainey had no idea who was to blame for the ball going so terribly awry but she hoped her eldest brother would find whoever it was and make them pay. Chase already killed the man who attacked her. Supposedly the rabid dog had went after Constance too and when he did her brother shot him. As comforting as it was to know he was dead and gone, never to cause harm to her again that just wasn’t enough for Lainey. She wanted whoever set that vicious manic loose on her to pay too. Brushing a few strands of her hair back with her hands, Lainey allowed a small smile to grace her face as she looked back to the man looking at her intently. “It’s nice to meet you Hal.” Offering her hand out to him, she placed her frail hand in his and shook it while her eyes searched his.

After a moment or two she pulled back, instantly missing the warmth from his hand when she did. “Do you think you can do me a favor and hand me that bag over there?” Lainey asked as she pointed to a small bag full of clothes located on the chair over near the wall opposite from them. Jamie dropped them off earlier for her but she was out of it from the medications when he was there she never even had a chance to thank him. “I have to get out of this hospital gown…I’ve being released later today anyways, I’m sure they won’t mind if I put on some actual clothing.” Lainey explained with a playful smile. She had no idea what Jamie brought for her but she was sure it was better than what the hospital put her in.

Serena was silent, but she did nod however. Now that she had finally made amends with Derek, she felt comfortable in his presence. It was a shame that it took a near death experience to make her realise that. She smiled at Derek as he gave her hand a tight squeeze. She couldn't wait to see Madison again. It had felt like awhile since she had seen her last. If it wasn't for her, Serenity wouldn't have liked it in Port Charles so much.

"I can't wait til noon then," she replied with a smirk. Then her face fell when he said she would have to stay there for a few days. She hated hospitals, but if she had to stay, she had to stay. Serena didn't want to go home if she wasn't better. "That's fine. Although, I hope I don't have to eat hospital food. I hate it." she said with a small laugh.

OOC: Going away for the weekend but here are some posts for you guys before I go!



'I'm glad I was here to feel that'. "Me too" She told him with a smile as they sat with their hands ontop of her stomach.

She could feel the baby really moving around now and it made her smile. With the baby moving around and kicking, she knew that everything was fine. Even without the sonogram, she knew she didn't have to worry. Her baby was okay. Now she just wanted to find out if it was a boy or girl then go home and sleep. She hadn't gotten any sleep yet and she knew that wasn't good for her or the baby. The sooner she got out, the better.

'I want you to know that I'm always going to be there for you...whatever you need,whenever you need it'. "That menas alot to me" She told him honestly.

She never doubted for a second that he would always be there for her even though he had changed since losing his memory. He hadn't changed completely but she did notice a few difference from the Jamie she fell in love with to the Jamie she knew now. Given the cirumstances, it was given that he wouldn't be the same so she was trying to deal with it as best as she could by being patient and understanding. It was hard but she was doing her best.

'I should have never let it happen in the first place'. "Where did you go anyway? And why didn't you come right back?" She asked as she reached up to move some blonde hair out of her face.

She couldn't understand what was so important that it would take him away from her. Why he hadn't come right back to her after talking with Constance. It had been atleast a half an hour between when he left her and everything started happening. What could have possibly been doing in that half an hour that prevented him from coming back to her? That night as supposed to be about them. She hated that whatever kept him away from her had prevented that. She felt like she definately deserved an answer after getting kidnapped while she was lookingt for him because he wasn't with her to protect her.



'The good news is there's no internal damage'. Bastian nodded his head, glad that he wasn't bleeding enternally. Unforunately, that wasn't as bad as what he was really going through. Soon his sisters would get the biggest let down on their lives. Like he was trying to prepare them for what was about to come, he reached out and took a whole of their hands. It wouldn't help much but he felt like it was all he could do at the moment.

'I'm sorry Sebastian but you have cancer and it's not good'. For him, the words had no effect. He had heard them two times before now and the third time, the word 'cancer' just bounced off of him and went right to his sisters. He looked at them with dread on his face, his eyes bouncing back and forth between the two of them as he took in their reactions. Kate had a look of disbelief on her face and Tess looked blank like she didn't know what to think. They were the reactions he had expected out of them.

'You don't have cancer. Your healthy, your fine'. "I'm not fine, Kate" He told her with a groan as he tried to sit up. Try being the keyword there because it couldn't do it without it hurting. Ultimately, he had to lay back in the same positon he bad been in since he got to the hospital. It was starting to make his butt numb laying in the same position, but there wasn't much he could do.

'You knew about this? And you didn't tell me. How could you not tell me Sebastian? How long have you known? How long?'. "I've known about it for years, since right after I graudated from Manchester Prep. This is the second time I've had it. They were able to treat it and I went in to remission but then it came back and they say that's not much they can do this time" He explained, pausing to gather his strenth a bit more then he continud on and answered the rest of her questions. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you. I wanted to avoid this moment, right here, right now"

'I'm going to find a way to fix this Bastian..I will find somebody that can help you'. "No one can help me, You're just going to have to accept it, Kate. I'm dying. I don't know how long I have left but eventaully, I'm going to die. I've accept it, now you just have to"

At that moment, it occured to him that there was one less body in the room. With his arms around Kate, his eyes looked around the room for his second oldest sister only to see that she was no where to be found. "Where did Tess go?"



The world felt like it was spinnning as she walked down the hallway of General Hospital, unsure of where she was really going. Not even ten minutes ago, her world came crashing down on her. Her brother had cancer. It was terminal. He was going to die. She wouldn't have believed if she hadn't heard it with her own ears. Why was this happening? She didn't understand it. She had just found him again and now she was going to lose him. It wasn't fair. It just wasn't fair.

Being out of the room and not infront of the two people she cared about most of the world, she let herself cry. There was no one in the hallway she was in so she let it all out. Pretty soon, she couldn't walk anymore because her eyes were so blurry so she stopped and slid down against a wall. She wrapped her arms around her knees and brought them to her chest, her chin resting on them. She usually refused to cry infront of other people, which was why she had left the door as soon as she felt tears coming. Kate and Bastian could not see her cry. She didn't want to appear weak infront of anyone, especially not them.

When she felt like there were no more tears, she stood up and wiped her eyes. Deciding that she couldn't go back into that room and face her dying brother, she headed down the hallway towards the elevator to go down to the main floor so she could leave. Something stoppd her though and she had to backtrack alittle bit. She thought she saw Ethan in one of the rooms but it couldn't be him, could it? He wasn't that hurt. Curious, she turned and walked into the room. Shock was on her face when she saw it really was Ethan in a bed.

"What the hell are you doing here?" She asked, completely ignoring the other two people in the room as she made her way over to him. "You didn't get hurt more than you let on last night, did you?" She wondered as she began checking him out with her good arm, concern in her eyse as she looked him over. When she got to his shoulder and he winced, she immediatly pulled her hand back and got a frown on her face. "It's my fault you're here. You got hurt helping me" She leaned in and gave him on of her 'I'm sorry' kisses then she pulled back and reached up to move some hair out of his face. "I'll pay for whatever it costs for you to be in there. It's the least I can do"

When Chloe didn't hand the bag of Teddy Grahams right over Ethan frowned. He was damn hungry and if a nurse came in expecting him to eat hospital pudding, well, she had another thing coming. It was a good thing Chloe was just teasing him. With little Abby's help, of course. She was a spunky kid. She reminded him of a boy version of himself that age. Before his ass of a father taught him the cold facts of life. "Hungry man...in hospital bed..." he prodded until finally getting his way. Ethan chewed on a few teddy bear heads as Abby perked up and began talking a mile a minute. She was full of questions and it made his head spin. Or was that the pain drugs they had given him? "If they slap a cast on me I'll rip it right off," he answered with a charming southern drawl. "Ain't gonna be trapped by nothin'." Abby's tiny eyes shot up in alert as she told him a story 'bout Chloe and Jack having casts 'cause the doctor said they needed them and she got to write on theirs and he should get one too if his arm was hurt. Saving him from a headache, Chloe gently informed Abby that Ethan's arm wasn't broken so he didn't need anything but a sling and rest. "And drugs, more drugs are always good." His eyes held a twinkle at Chloe's disapproving glare. If Abby grew up to be a dealer or junkie he was sure he'd be blamed for that one comment. Parents were crazy enough to pull that crap.

Ethan thought the interrogation was over but no such luck. When he was asked about the pain Ethan shot Chloe a 'shut the kid up already' look before noddin. "Like hell," he told her before closing his eyes. Why had he thought it was a good idea to wake up? It was quiet for awhile, until a familiar voice yelled out to him. "Tess?" Ethan looked up in time to see his best friend's worried eyes boring into him. "Ease up Dr. Quinn, it ain't that bad." He let out a rough laugh as Tess played the blame game. "Shit happens," he reminded her before accepting her kiss. She rambled on about paying his medical bills and Ethan just laid there amused. He should get scraped up more often if it got him kisses and money. Hell, he could go for some pain relieving sex right now if there wasn't a kid in the room. "You ok? That's some sling..." Ethan could see the bruises running up Tess' shoulder and he didn't like it. He'd kill the bastard who touched her if he ever got the chance. Chloe cleared her throat from the corner and Ethan grimaced apologetically. "Sorry, umm Tess...this here's Chloe. And Abby, her kid." He didn't need to explain where he knew them from. Tess had heard all about his affair.

[angel_wings05]

Swimming in her own denial, Kate shook her head in disbelief as she listened to her brother start to explain. Years..For years he knew and he never told her one thing about what was going on with him. He was treated once before and they thought the cancer was gone but now its come back. This wasn't happening. She couldn't lose him too. First Will and now Sebastian? The only two people in this world who softened her and made her actually human. She went off the rail when Will was killed and she was still lashing out from that, how in the hell is she suppose to keep it together if she loses Bastian too? She can't..There's no way. She will lose her mind if he leaves in her in this pathetic fake world all alone.

'I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you. I wanted to avoid this moment, right here, right now.' Kate let out a small bitter laugh at that, unable to keep her tears under wraps any longer. "So what you were going to wait until you were on your death bed to tell me? Not give me any time to prepare and deal with.." Trailing off, Kate gasped slightly as her hands went over her mouth. "Your right..It wouldn't have matter...There's nothing that could have prepared me for this." The wheels already turning in her head she was nowhere near ready to give up. She would find the best damn doctor in the country and do whatever she had to do to keep her brother alive. 'No one can help me, You're just going to have to accept it, Kate. I'm dying. I don't know how long I have left but eventually, I'm going to die. I've accepted it, now you just have to.' “Like hell I will.” Kate snapped back through gritted teeth, angry he would even suggest it.

Quickly changing the subject, Sebastian asked where Tess went but Kate wasn't finished yet. She refused to let him just give up. “I don’t really care I’m a little more concerned about you right now Sebastian.“ She was short with him but only because she was upset and more than anything else, terrified of losing him. “I don’t care what you say, I will find the best doctor in the country and he will fix this.” She told him sternly as she pulled out her cell phone. However the second she went to make a call he grabbed the phone right out of her hands. Staring at him Kate could not believe what she was seeing. He didn’t want any more treatments..He was done with all that. He accepted it..The hell with what everyone else thought.

Without thinking Kate reached her hand forward and slapped him. Surprised by her actions for a moment she just stared at him with anger and hurt clear in her features. "What about me? Do you care about me at all? What happens to me when you go…I can’t believe this, your going to sit there and your going to talk calmly to me about you throwing your life away? Me..Me Bastian, I’m your sister and I love you and I would do anything for you and for what? For what..For you to just give up and leave me here all alone?” Kate cried out angrily. She’s never been one to show what she was thinking or feeling but Bastian is her greatest weakness and the possibility of losing him had her falling apart at the seams.

Knowing what he was about to say Kate stopped him before he could. “I know I have Tess..She’s my sister and I love her but it’s not the same and you know it. It’s always been me and you..Always.” They have the same parents. She’s protected him every day since the day he was born. He means everything to her and she will not survive without him. “Bastian..If you’re not here to fight for me..I won’t make it. I will lose my God damn mind do you understand me? It will drag me under..I will became a monster just like our father was. You can’t just give up…Please you have to keep fighting it, for me.” Kate pleaded with him as she latched onto his arm and buried her face in his shoulder. She would never forgive him for just giving up. Valmont’s don’t just give up. They fight till their last dying breath and she wasn’t going to settle for anything less from Sebastian.

OOC: More coming tonight or tomorrow. Also Sarah, not sure if you wanted to do any Jamie/Constance this skip or not but if you do she's open, feel free to tag her whenever. (When your done with JL of course)

OOC: Mas coming later.



'Ease up Dr. Quinn, it ain't that bad'. "It looks bad" She replied with a bit of a frown on her face as she tucked a piece of hair behind his ear.

She had joked with him countless times to get a haircut but in all truth, she would be upset if he did. It was an attractive look on him and she loved to run her fingers through his long locks. She would probably cry if he chopped it all off and suddenly looked his brother. Well not really because Tess Valmount does not cry over things like that - it was far too trivial for an unemotional person like her - but she would smack him everytime she saw him until he grew it back. Yes that was definately more her style.

She saw the amused look on his face as she went on about being the cause of his injury and she just made a face of her own, hitting him playfully on his good arm. "Wipe that look off your face. This isn't funny" She sounded upset but she really wasn't. She actually welcomed her usual interaction with Ethan because it was a needed distraction from the news she just got. She didn't want to deal with it so in a way, she was glad that she had ran into Ethan, even if he was in a hospital bed.

'You ok? That's some sling'. "Oh yes it's lovely. I can't wait until I can move my arm again. Too bad I'm stuck in this cast for atleast a month" She grumbled a little bit at the thought of not having the use of her left arm for a month. It would not be fun. "You know you're going to be the first one to sign it, right? Just make sure you leave enough space for Kate and Bastian. You can't hog whole arm" She told him, pointing at him playfully.

She stopped talking once she heard someone clear their throat and she turned her head to finally look at the other people in the room. 'Sorry, umm Tess...this here's Chloe. And Abby, her kid'. "Ah so this is the infamous Chloe. Nice to finally put a face to the name. Don't think Ethan mentioned you having a kid" She gave the little girl a slight smile then she looked back to Ethan. "Move over" She insisted, moving herself to sit with him. She didn't want to go back to the room where Bastian was and now she didn't want to leave Ethan so she might as well make herself comfortable.

[California_ here_ I _come]

Ethan made a motion across his mouth as though he was locking a door and tossing the key. If Tess didn't want to be made fun of he could be a good boy and comply, though he could tell she was only faking her anger. It was just part of a game they played with one another. Pushing her buttons gave him a thrill and Tess held her own right back. What could he say? They were an infamous pair. Ethan's smirk let up a bit when Tess told him she would be making friends with a cast for a solid month. "Tess, that's more serious than I thought." He had assumed she'd torn something, but broken bones? Ethan knew Tess was tough but the thought of someone hurting her sickened him. If his own arm weren't in a sling he'd be punching it through a wall. Instead, he gripped the white sheets of his hospital bed to control his anger. Tess persuaded him to calm down with humorous words about cast decorations, but she could see in his eyes the need for revenge. Ethan would murder the man who had stabbed Bastian and laid a hand on his best friend. It was only a matter of time. When Ethan introduced Chloe she offered a warm smile for Tess, but Abby hid behind her mother. She was a friendly kid but for some reason she wanted to play the shy game.

Tess wasn't all that scary but she didn't exude a nurturing vibe either. She may have given birth to twins, but Tess didn't have a maternal bone in her body. Ethan was willing to bet her boys would be in boarding school before preschool. "Chloe's heard about you too," Ethan informed his friend with a mischievous grin. Chloe tried not to laugh, but it was clear that stories of Tess' promiscuity and wild antics had been revealed. Ethan loved that about her. He was always glad to tell a story about the sassy blond staring back at him. She could make the most boring situation entertaining. "She has two kids actually," Ethan corrected. "Her son's a bit older than Abby here. Good kids though." He winked at the blue eyed little girl and she slid out from behind her mother's shoulder a smidgen, winking back at Ethan. Her dimples resembled his as she giggled and Ethan thought it was strange, but dismissed the idea the second Tess slid under the covers with him. He frowned, an alarm going off that something with her just wasn't right. Tess didn't show affection this way with him. She would ram her tongue down his throat any day, but this? "You're upset," he whispered where only she could hear. He didn't ask why. He just wanted her to know he knew and was there. That would be enough for now.

[angel_wings05]

Chloe laughed in amusement as she watched the interaction between her youngest and Ethan. It was almost like three months hadn't passed at all. 'And drugs, more drugs are always good.' Chloe glared, rolling her eyes playfully when he responded with his trademark smirk. "He's kidding." She replied quickly, wrapping her arms loosely around her daughter. He wasn't really but at Abby's impressionable young age and her growing attachment towards him, Abby was likely to believe every word that came out of his mouth.Thankfully, Chloe knows better. She's been burned by Ethan one too many times to dive head first back into anything with him. She'll always care for him but Dylan and Abby's needs come first. They need her strong and sane like she has been since she settled in PC, not weak and vulnerable.After all these years and Ethan can still turn her into jelly at the drop of the dime. All he has to do is give her that million dollar smile of his or drive her crazy with his never ending sarcastic come backs. He was a trip..And she enjoyed every second of it. What she didn't enjoy was picking up the broken pieces after he leaves her high and dry like he always does. That was hard and she really didn't wanna have to do that again. Especially now after she's finally getting her life together. Worrying about Damien finding her was no longer a constant worry. She's still being cautious as all hell to make sure they aren't found but for the most part her life is in a really really good place right now. Better than it has been in a long time.

At the sound of heels clacking against the floor Chloe was torn from her thoughts. She looked up and saw a pretty blonde woman walking straight to Ethan. From motor mouth to suddenly playing shy, Abby leaned up against her mother and stayed quiet. As friendly and sweet as she was, her little girl had the tendency to be bashful around people she's not familiar with. Watching the interaction between Ethan and his friend, Chloe soon came to the conclusion that this was the Tess she heard about on more than one occasion. Taking in her broken arm she glanced down at Ethan's bad shoulder, putting two and two together it didn't take her long to realize where they were last night. The Blush ball, she should have known.Wherever there’s trouble Ethan follows. It was like he was biologically programmed to finding, causing and creating trouble. Eventually realizing she was still in the room Ethan looked back at her and introduced she and Abby to Tess. 'Ah so this is the infamous Chloe. Nice to finally put a face to the name. Don't think Ethan mentioned you having a kid.' Chloe kinked her eyebrow in Ethan's direction, highly amused. "Infamous?" Feeling Abby trying to get her attention, probably because she wanted to be held, Chloe picked her up from Ethan's bed just before Tess sat down next to him (on the other side). "I don't know about that.." She told them with a slight smile.

'Chloe's heard about you too' Chloe nodded as Ethan spoke. It was slightly uncomfortable watching him get cozy with a girl that wasn't her but Chloe hid her discomfort well. All she had to do was remind herself that she can't have Ethan. He's no good for her and not her kids either. But she does want him to be happy and even if she is a smidge bit jealous of their closeness, Tess clearly makes him happy and she's happy that he has that in his life. There was a time when they tried to be happy together but something always got in the way. Damien was always a big factor in that but there was other factors too. Chloe's learned to just accept the simple fact that..Nothing good ever lasts.

Just as Chloe was about to correct his friend, Ethan beat her to the punch. 'Her son's a bit older than Abby here. Good kids though.' Abby lifted her head from Chloe's shoulder and smiled brightly when he winked at her. "It's nice to meet you Tess." She told the blonde as she moved Abby to her other hip. "We're going to go though.." She started only to be cut off by her daughter pouting 'Nooo'. "Yes sweetheart. Ethan has a visitor and needs his rest." Ever the impossible one, Abby still didn't wanna go. Use to this kind of attitude, more so from Dylan, Chloe moved Abby's hair back and whispered something in her ear. Just like she suspected her face lit up instantly.All she told her was that when they get back home she can make Ethan a get well card and Abby fell for it hook, line and sinker. "I have to pick Dylan up at his friends." She explained to Ethan with a small shrug and smile. "Again it was good to finally meet you Tess." Pausing for a moment as she stopped at the end of Ethan's bed. "Wave goodbye Abby." Doing just that, Abby smiled at them both as she said goodbye. Looking to Ethan one last time, Chloe managed a small smile. "Take care Ethan." She told him, unsure how long it'd be before she saw him again. It was suppose to be never but Ethan had a way of popping in and out of her life whether she asked him to or not. After leaving the room Chloe walked down the hall further in search of room 426, Laura's room. The nurse already told her the teenager had a clean bill of health when she asked for the room number but she still wanted to drop in and check on her before leaving the hospital to pick up her son.

OOC: Derek to be coming, just wanted to get Chloe out so I'm not keeping anyone waiting.


Derek smiled, happy to see his sister so happy. He was beyond relived that she was okay and awake. And as if those two blessings weren't enough, she was talking to him like she use to. Like back before she went to medical school. She was no longer angry at him in any way..Things would finally be normal between them. He was thrilled she wasn't shutting him out anymore but he'd still change places with her in a heartbeat if he could. He hates that she was hurt. She has no connections or affiliations with either of the mob families in town. Iit wasn't fair, she didn't deserve what happened to her. Watching as her face fell upon mention of having to stay there for a few days, Derek offered her a small encouraging smile.

'That's fine. Although, I hope I don't have to eat hospital food. I hate it.' "Yeah you and about seventy-five percent of the rest of the world." Derek laughed as he got up from his chair. "Hold tight, I'm going to order us a pizza. I'll have Mackenzie stop and get it on the way over." It was quarter after 11 and since Mackenzie was bringing Madison down around noon the timing worked out perfectly. "Be back in a few minutes, I need to talk to some of the others doctor too." Derek told her with a small smile, giving her hand a small comforting squeeze before exiting the room. Once outside the door he pulled out his cell to call Mario's, they had by far the best pizza in town.

As he finished ordering the food he caught sight of Jade across the room. He saw her walking behind the nurses counter to talk to one of the nurses and soon found his feet walking over to them. What was she doing here? After what happened to Steve and everything, he never expecting her to be on duty, slaving away as always. Waiting until the nurse walked away, Derek slowly approached the counter when she did. “Hey..” He said softly as he moved behind the counter so he was next to her. “She’s awake…She’s still a little out of it but she’s going to be okay.” Derek told her as he nodded with relief evident in his features. Noticing the bruise on her cheek he reached his hand forward without thinking and gently touched the bruise. “Are you okay?” He asked softly, allowing his hand to fall back to his side. “What are you doing working today? You must be exhausted Jade and after everything that happened...” He trailed off. “I think you should go home.“ Derek added, his concern for her obvious.Tag Jade

[shadow kissed]

Jade stepped into the double doors of the hospital ready to be on duty. She had gotten checked out the night before and she only had a few minor bruises and was shaken up after Steve's death. Jade thought that Steve was a great guy and she could imagine having something with him. Whether it was a friendship or a relationship, it was only early days and now she would never find out. Working just seemed to take her mind off it.

If she was just sitting at home doing nothing, she'd break down. Her own cousin Kimber requested that she stay home and rest, but she couldn't. Not when this was going on. She went to the Nurses Station and a Nurse had come up to her with a patient chart. She looked over it and handed it back with a nod and then then nurse walked off. That's when Derek approached.
“She’s awake…She’s still a little out of it but she’s going to be okay.”
It took her a minute to realise who he was talking about and then she remembered that his sister was attacked. She sat in on the operation but she didn't do anything since she thought that by being somewhat friendly with Derek, it would be a conflict of interest, so she just sat in the observation deck just looking. At least if she knew that someone made it out alive, then not all was lost. She smiled.
"I'm really glad Derek," she replied with a nod. "I knew she would be okay. By the sounds of it, she's a real fighter."
He then touched her bruise and then asked if she was okay. She nodded.
"I'm fine," she replied. "Just shaken up. Honestly."
When Derek asked her why she was working, she bit her lip. She knew that the question was coming and she was dreading it. She just wanted to take her mind off everything. That was the whole point.
"I didn't want to sit at home doing nothing, Derek," she said. "I need a distraction and I know you're worried but I'm fine and I can work. A little exhaustion never hurt anyone. I can bounce back from this. I don't need to go home." she said with a firm nod.

[Shiri S]

Bored, she sat in the hospital bed flipping through the channel's on her TV. She wasn't sure why she was stillt here. She wasn't as injured as many of the people that were brought in and yet she had been told she had to stay over night for observation.

Of course, that could be because she had blacked out while being attacked the night before. Her assailent had banged her around pretty roughly. Nothing was broken but she did have quite a few scapes and bruises on her face and arms. Her father had threatened to find the man and kill him when he came to visit but she insisted that it was no big deal. She didn't want to put anyone out or cause any trouble. She just wanted to recover and move on with her life.

She had finally settled on the Food Network when her phone rang. She turned off the tv then reached over and grabbed her phone. She moved some hair out of her face with a wince then she looked down at who it was. She smiled a little bit when she saw it was Ryan. She hadn't seen him since the night before. Their first night out in public together and they had gotten seperated. She was glad to be hearing from him now because that meant he was okay and that something had happen to him.

"Where are you?" She wondered as she answered the phone. She wanted to know why he hadn't made his way to the hospital to see her yet.



She sat there in her brother's arms and cried her eyes out. Everything that she had been feeling lately, just came pouring of her in forms of hot tears running down her cheeks. At that moment, she knew that it wasn't a good idea to hold things in like she had. She supposed that it was the Cassadine in her. They were never good at expressing their emotions. They always held them in just like she had. Probably ten or so minutes later, her tears finally stopped and she lifted her head up as she listen to Morgan saying that she did not deserve what was happening to her.

'Cameran had no right to cry victim after everything he's done to you.He's in no place to judge'. "You're right," She nodded her head, her hand coming up to wipe some tears from her cheeks. "But I still feel bad" Bad was an understatment to how she felt, really. Bad didn't even come close. There was no acceptable word for her to use for how she felt. 'Just give him some time..And if he's doesn't come around and come back to you, well then it's his loss;. "He won't come back. There's no way he'll ever be able to forgive me for this" She told him, her head shaking some as she did so. "He's not like me" She added on, thinking back to all the times that Camerman cheated on her and she took him back. She done it countless times yet after twice on her end, she ended things with him. If she had been anything like him, they would have been over years ago.

Thinking about everything, she felt herself tearing back up again and she fell back into Morgan's arms. Her cries were small this time, instead of something big like before. She didn't think she had any tears left ut she had just proved heself from. Something stopped her crying though and she lifted her head up when she heard a familar voice speak out. "Molly?" She asked as she turned her head to the bed. She got a smile on her face when she saw her sister awake. "Morgan! Look. She's awake"
