CHAPTER 35 ~Emily�s hospital room~ Emily opens her eyes slightly and is instantly pleased with the sight she sees in front of her. �Hey there mommy.� Nikolas says as he looks over at her. �Did the two of you sleep in the chair all night?� �Are you up for any company?� Lucky asked as he poked his head in the door. �You bet we are.� Lucky walked over and gave Emily a big kiss. �I brought you something.� He replied as he pulled back and held out a small little teddy bear that said it�s a boy. �Oh he�s so cute.� Emily squealed �What you couldn�t find one bigger then pocket size.� Nikolas joked. �You better be glad you�re holding that baby.� Lucky joked back. �Would you like to hold him?� Emily asked. Nikolas got up and Lucky took his place. �You bet I would.� Nikolas carefully placed the baby boy in Lucky�s arms. �Wow he�s so tiny.� Lucky said as he made funny faces at the baby. �Good thing babies that small can�t see ya.� Emily stated laughingly. �Talk about a beautiful sight.� Liz said as she walked through the door. �Don�t get any ideas.� Lucky quickly replied as he got up and handed the baby to his mother. Liz walked over at sat on the edge of Emily�s bed. She took the babies hand in hers and began playing with it. �So did you name him yet or what?� Emily looked up at Nikolas who looked back in return. �We�re still thinking about it.� �Well you�ve had seven months to think about it.� Alexis said as she walked in the room and right over to the baby. �And my great nephew needs a name.� She took the baby out of Emily�s arms. Nikolas follows Alexis with his eyes as she sits in the chair last occupied by Lucky. �It won�t be long before you�ll be holding you son or daughter.� �That�s son and daughter.� Ned quickly blurted out. �Ned here is sure we�re having one of each.� �Damn straight we are.� He sits on the arm of the chair and looks at the baby. �He looks just like you Emily.� �Really.� Emily replies as she looks over at Nikolas. �I kinda thought he looked more like his father.� �Nope defiantly you Em.� Lucky stated. �He�s way to cute to look anything like Nikolas.� �Ned I can�t believe in less then two months we are going to having not only one but two of these.� �And both our son and daughter will look just like their mother.� �Let�s hope.� Emily Lucky and Nikolas all said in tune. ~*~ ~Quatermaine Living Room~ �Doesn�t anybody work around here.� Edward bellows as the phone rings. �Quatermaine residence.� Monica says into the receiver. �Well good morning grandma.� Ned states on the other end of the phone. �Did you say.........????� �You bet I did.� �Why didn�t anybody call me?� �What�s happing what�s going on?� Edward demanded to know. �Wouldn�t you rather know if it�s a boy or girl?� Ned joked �Yes of course I do.� An overly excited Monica shouted out. �What in bloody hell is wrong?� Edward bellowed while trying to pry the phone from Monica. �It�s a boy.� Monica fought Edward off. �A boy ..... Emily had a boy?� �What?� Alan asked as he walked into the room. �When?� �When?� Monica asked Ned. �Last night.� �Oh my god.� Monica yelled �What�s the matter Monica? Is something wrong?� A suddenly concerned Edward asked. �It�s too early Ned!� �Monica calm down the baby is perfectly healthy, a little small but perfect none the less.� �Are you sure Ned?� �Why don�t you get yourself down here and see for yourself? We�re at Mercy Hospital in NY.� �You�re where?� Monica asked �It�s a long story. I�m sure Emily will fill you in.� �Thanks for calling Ned and let Emily know we�re on our way.� �Will do grandma.� Ned laughed before he hung up. �They seemed to have taken the news rather well.� Alexis who was standing behind him replied. �Yes they did and it�s great.� �Why is that?� �Because the sooner they except Emily�s son the sooner they will except our son and daughter. Ned replied as he placed his hands around her. �If we have a son and daughter.� �Nope sorry Mrs. Ashton when we have our son and daughter.� �Mrs. Ashton!� Helena yelled as she overheard Ned�s statement. Ned turned Alexis around so that she was standing in front of him. He hands were still placed around her. �Guess that�ll teach you to eavesdrop.� �The two of you just made the worst mistake of your life.� Helena stated as she looked down at Alexis�s growing stomach. �Don�t you dare threaten my wife or our children!� Ned fiercely stated. Helena laughed her evil laugh as she started to walk past them. �Ands just where do you think you�re going?� Alexis demanded to know. �I�m going to see my Great grandson, not that it�s any business of yours.� �Were making it our business.� Ned replied as he waved over a security guard. �This woman has no right being in this hospital and I�d like it if you�d kindly help her find her way out!� �You can�t just have me thrown out!� Helena yelled. �Want to make a bet!� Ned yelled back. �What are you doing back here grandmother?� Nikolas asked �Back here?� A shocked Alexis questioned in turn. �I thought I made my feelings perfectly clear last night.� Nikolas yelled as he walked over to his grandmother and grabbed her arm. �But I guess not clear enough. Now you either leave willingly or I�ll throw you out myself.� The security guard was about to intervene when Helena spoke. �Fine I�ll leave, but this my darling grandson is far from over. She looked over at Alexis. �Very far from over.� Ned pulled Alexis tighter as she buried her head in his chest. �Please make sure Mrs. Cassidine finds her way out.� �Yes sir.� The guard replied as he walked off. �What did Helena want last night?� Ned asked �She said she only wanted to see the baby....... but I don�t buy it.� �Neither do I� said Alexis. ~*~ Stefan Cassidine is sitting in his office going over some paperwork when his phone rings. He signs the document in front of him before throwing off his glasses and answering the phone. �Stefan Cassidine.........what.......when.� He stands up and begins yelling. �Why wasn�t I informed before this........I don�t want to hear any more of your poor excuse.......NO do nothing....... I�ll take care of this myself.� He hangs up the phone before placing the documents he was working on in his safe. With the anger inside him growing stronger he picks up his jacket and heads to the door. The ringing off the phone stops him from leaving as he walks over and answers it. �What?� �It�s being taken care of as we speak.� A man quietly stated into the receiver. Stefan hung up the phone and a somewhat satisfied look over took his complexion. |
