| Epilogue Five years have past since that Thanksgiving and it is now a week before Christmas. Lucky has just finished his first year in collage and has decided to go on to Law School. He hasn�t decided on what type of Law yet but nothing is going to stop him. Nikolas has just taken over most of the operation of the Cassadine family and he has made a lot of changes from now on. The heir decides who runs the family next not the place you were born. He wanted to give everyone a chance to run everything. Robin and Nikolas are planning to get married in the spring and Laura is busy with the plans. Peter and V got married a year before and are expecting their first child. Grandpa Caine is happy about the event and can�t wait to spoil the kid. Kermit has been after Bobbie for weeks now and she has slowly warmed up to him. Jerry Jacks burnt her bad but she is willing to give Kermit a try. Luke and Laura did have a baby, twins to be exact, Stephanie and Andrew. Laura named the girl and Luke the boy. He never told her where Andrew came from and he never will. Luke was going to take that one to his grave. Luke walked up to the women�s prison and had mixed feelings about this day. He has dreamed of it for a long time now but now it has arrived. Luke didn�t know what to think. He knew Helena deserved to die but she would be missed. They did have a lot of fun over the years and now it was over. Luke sat in his chair staring at the chamber in front of him. Helena was due to arrive at any second. He knew the Governor wasn�t going to stop this one and it was only a matter of time. When Helena did finally arrive, Luke was shocked to see. How old she has gotten. Helena Cassadine didn�t look like the same lady. Her hair was dull and her face had been aged considerably. Helena looked around at the room full of people and stopped her eyes on Luke. She didn�t say anything until it was her time for her last words. �Luke. You and me have had a good fight. You have finally won this battle but not the war. I have made plans for someone to carry on this war between our families. They will put you in your grave and your precious Lucky beside you. I promise you,� Helena said. Luke didn�t doubt her a bit, and made plans to look for the next threat. He watched in silence as the guards strapped Helena into the chair and left the room. She sat in silence as the gas started to fell the chamber. Helena fought for a good long while but then she finally died. Luke left the prison without a word to the press. He felt empty for loosing Helena like that. He wanted to end her life on his own terms and in his own time, but that didn�t happen. Luke got in the car and drove away. He was thinking of Andrew and wondered if the Angel of Death got time off. He might need it after taking Helena. She could drive even an Angel into wanting a drink. Andrew did appear right then and said, �She was as bad as her husband. I�m glad God doesn�t have too many of them in this world.� �You could at least tell someone you are going to do that,� Luke complained. �Sorry. I knew you were thinking of me and I want to know if you are all right,� Andrew said. �I�m fine and did the old bat go to hell all right,� Luke asked him with an evil smile. �She didn�t go easy but she went. She really didn�t like it when she didn�t see Stefan. How is my name sake?� Andrew asked him. �He is an angel and so is Stephanie. They are just past their fourth birthday and Laura and I are thinking we are nuts to having kids in this stage in life,� Luke told him. �Don�t worry. You have a lot of help and I have it on good authority that you and Laura are not joining us any time soon,� Andrew said and then he was gone. Luke drove home in silence, thinking of his family and friends. He loved his life and wouldn�t have traded it for anything in the world. The End Back to Angels Lend A Helping Hand index |
