Chapter 32 Once the men found out that Carly was planning her wedding today, they took off for parts unknown. Leaving the women alone to think about what they wanted to do. Lucky, Nikolas, and Zander were down at the stables trying to talk Lucky to get on a horse. �You know for someone who has a nickname as Cowboy. You are chicken,� Zander teased, as Lucky looked at the horse a little unsure about getting on the creature�s back. �I never road a horse before,� Lucky said trying to figure out how to get on the animals back. �You get on the right side and don�t worry she is as gentle as a lamb,� Nikolas said as he watched as Lucky fought to get on the horse. Finally though all three of them were mounted and they headed off to check out the center of the island. �You know, Lucky if you want to learn to really ride. I�m sure you can talk Mikkos into getting someone here to teach you.� �No thanks. I think I got it,� Lucky said as he bounced along. Zander and Nikolas just laughed at Lucky as he tried to stay on the horse. *********************************** Luke and Jason headed towards the club. �How did Carly get the shiner?� Luke asked as they walked toward the club. �Do you care?� Jason asked stilling very bad mood from last night. He knew that Luke didn�t like Carly and he didn�t think that Luke really cared that she got hurt and that bothered Jason a great deal. Luke looked at Jason asked, �I went little far the other day didn�t I?� �Yeah, you did. You treated her like dirt and I didn�t like it. I didn�t say anything then but I am now. Carly is going to be my wife. I hope you will respect her from now on,� Jason said. �Sure,� Luke said and they walked the rest of the way to club in silence. Luke had to respect Jason on standing up for Carly. This didn�t mean that Luke liked Carly. He still thought she was exactly like her father and was nothing but trouble. ********************************* Bobbie and Robin arrived a little after Luke and Jason left. �This house still gives me the creeps,� Robin said as she looked up to see the gargoyles looking down at her. �Yeah, I always wondered why Stefan picked this place out,� Bobbie said as she rang the doorbell. Ms. Lansberry greeted them warmly as she opened the door. �The ladies are in the parlor,� Ms. Lansberry said as she showed the two guesses to the room. In the parlor, Alex, Alexis, Laura were trying to talk Carly out of rushing this wedding. She wanted to get married before she showed any and that meant they had very little time to do any of this. �Carly, do you have any idea the time limit you are putting us under?� Alex commented. �I don�t care. We Cassadines, we can do anything,� Carly said before very defiant. �I�m going to shot Victor,� Alex muttered blaming her husband for Carly�s attitude at this moment in time. �What�s going on?� Bobbie asked as her and Robin entered the room. �Bobbie, finally someone that might talk her out of this,� Alexis said as she pointed to Carly. �Tell you daughter that it is impossible to have a big wedding in less then three mouths!� �How big?� Bobbie asked. �She wants to invite the entire family,� Laura said thinking of her wedding to Stavros. She never saw so many people in her life. �Carly, do you think that is wise. I mean, the way things are now with Helena?� Bobbie said. �Helena is not going to stop me from having the wedding I want,� Carly said defiantly. �Ok, you want big wedding and an engagement party. So, we needed help to do it. I know just the person to call,� Alex said as she went to make a phone call. �Where she going?� Robin asked as she sat down next to Laura. �I have no clue,� Laura said. �Mommy can I be the flower girl?� Lu asked. �You got to ask Carly,� Laura said. �Sure and Lucas be the ring barrier,� Carly said smiling at her mother as Bobbie sat down. �I�ll tell him,� Bobbie said. �Who else are you going to have in the wedding?� Alexis asked. �Ah, Emily and BJ,� Carly said as she tried to think of who was going be in the wedding. She never thought of it before. She looked over Robin and asked, �You want to be in it?� �Sure, why not,� Robin said. �Ok, that leaves my maid of honor. I would ask some from school if I had any. So, how about you Alexis, you want to be my maid of honor?� �Sure. Why not,� Alexis said never dreaming that Carly would ask her to be in this wedding. �Well that leaves the men,� Laura said figuring that Lucky, Nikolas and Zander could be talked into walking down the girls. �Do you know who is going to be Jason is going to have as his best man?� Robin asked. ********************************* Luke and Jason found Robert and Sonny already at the club. �How things going?� Luke asked as the two men walked into the office. �Great, oh, I have some news on Damion. He will be put in front of the judge about two mouths from now but until then his bail was denied,� Robert said with bright smile on his face. �Now that is a great thought,� Luke said glad to know that something in his life was going right. �How is Lu and Alexis?� Sonny asked. �They are fine and before I forget. Alexis, wants me to watch the club tonight. She wants to have date with you,� Luke said with cocky grin on his face. �That sounds like fun besides, I�m tried running everything. I�m getting the short end of the stick in this partnership,� Sonny said looking at his four friends. Robert and Luke just laughed and figure he was right. They have been shoving a lot of the work onto Sonny. �I�ll go to after this meeting,� Robert said. �I can take care of the club. It will get me way from Mikkos,� Luke said. �How is a Mikkos and everyone?� Robert asked. �You mean Lucky and Nikolas?� Luke asked figuring they heard about what happened. �Yeah, why did you let Mikkos lock them up?� Sonny asked. �That�s simple. Lucky is so angry with Laura that he took his rage out on Nikolas. I figured spending a little time together might lighten his mood a bit,� Luke said. �Did it work?� Robert asked. �A bit. He is mad and Laura started to see it. It is up to her to what happens next,� Luke said. �Ah, I have question?� Sonny asked. �What�s that,� Luke asked. �Where is Luke Spencer we know?� Sonny asked looking at his friend with a puzzled look on his face. Luke sighed and said, �I lost part me in prison. I don�t know what happened but I found out that I�m not a big fish out side this town. In there things were different. I haven�t adjust yet.� �It takes time,� Robert said. He hated to think about Luke being in prison, especially when he didn�t do anything to earn it. �I understand myself. Being locked up wasn�t to high on list of things to do and that was one of the main reasons I walked out the life,� Sonny said. �Ah, I don�t get. Why would change?� Jason asked not understand what the three of them were talking about. Luke looked at Jason and said, �what if someone told you when to get up, when to eat and what to do for hours on end. You had no peace or quit. You couldn�t see Carly when wanted to or hold your own child. What would you do?� Luke asked. �I�d fight them,� Jason said. �I had no choice. I couldn�t fight them. I got life and that was going to be my life. I had to find away to survived. It wasn�t easy but I managed to do it,� Luke said. �Jason, what Luke is saying is that sometimes you can�t fight. You have to keep part of you alive but still give in as well. Luke did that and he is now trying to figure out how to get back what he lost,� Sonny explained. �Ok, I guess this one of things that you have be there,� Jason said still not understanding any of it. He could never see himself backing down to anyone for any reason. �Well, lets change the subject. You going to tell Sonny your news?� Robert asked Jason. �You mean about me getting married,� Jason said smiling brightly at his friend. �You joking? You are getting married to Carly? Dose the family know?� Sonny asked. �Oh, yeah they know,� Luke said. He would have loved to been there when Edward found out this bit of news. �What happened?� Sonny asked knowing the Quartermaine�s that there was a big story to this. Jason told Sonny what had happened the night before. �Edward hit Carly and you put a gun on him!� Sonny said shocked to hear this. �I know watch my temper. I got that from Robert and Victor last night. I couldn�t help it. I saw on the floor and I thought about her getting hurt or the baby and I lost it,� Jason admitted. �Well, he did deserved it,� Sonny said. He didn�t like Edward. He didn�t like how Edward operated. Edward thought he owned his family and made sure they did this his way. �You put a gun to Edwards head?� Luke asked thinking the kid had more guts then he first thought. ************ �Sonny is going to be Jason�s best man,� Carly said. Alexis smiled at this glad to know that she could at least like the person she was going to be matched with. Alex walked in about then and said, �Well Elton is going to be here within the hour. He told me to say not to worry that he should have everything taken care of.� �Who is Elton?� Laura asked. �My decorator and all party consulted when I need one,� Alex said with a big smile on her face. Elton showed up a little while later, he walked into the sunroom where the ladies moved, looking around the room with this bewildered look on his face. �Alex, my dear please tell me that you will allow me to liven this place up a bit. It is, how do you say it, a little to gothic,� Elton said noting that even the sunroom looked dark and gloomy. �Sorry, Elton but the house is Stefan�s and he likes like this,� Alex said not knowing what to say about the place. She had commented to Victor when first arrived that the placed need a new look but he told her drop it. Mikkos might have taken over the family but the house was in Stefan�s name and it was his to do with as he saw fit. �To bad,� Elton said looking very disappointed. Chapter 33 Back to A Father's Love |
