"Are you okay?" asked Garcia.
"I'm fine, but I killed Clomens in self-defense." said Alexis.
"We know." said Garcia.
"I'll take her back to the hospital." said Ari.
"Thanks." said Garcia.
Ari escorted Alexis to his car and they got in.
"I'm sorry." said Ari.
"For what?" asked Alexis.
"For not protecting you." said Ari.
"You protected me the best way you could. It wasn't your fault." said Alexis.
"I feel so guilty." said Ari.
"Don't. I'm safe and so is Ned. Just be thankful I knew how to use a gun." said Alexis smiling.
They both laughed as he drove into the Port Charles city limits.
"I was so worried." said Ned.
"Me too, but luckily he's dead. I found out he was Stravos's father." said Alexis.
"I better be going." said Ari.
"Thanks, Ari." said Alexis.
"You're welcome." said Ari.
He left the room as Alexis laid next to Ned and they cuddled as Bobbie walked in.
"How are my patients?" asked Bobbie smiling.
"Fine." said Ned.
"Alexis, we have to request that you stay another week in the hospital." said Bobbie.
'Why? I'm perfectly fine." said Alexis.
"We want to be the judge of that and besides you can share a room with Ned." said Bobbie.
"Since you put it that way." said Alexis smiling.
Bobbie smiled as she got a bed ready for Alexis.
"We really need to find a place of our own." said Alexis.
"Do you want to go house hunting?" asked Ned.
"Not today. We have to go see my mother." she said.
"Then we better get going." he said.
They left the gatehouse heading for the docks.
"Are you finally going to tell me the story of how I am your son?" asked Stefan as he entered the room.
Nikolas followed behind him.
"As soon as your sister gets here." said Kristen.
"You can begin." said Alexis as she walked in.
"Please, sit down." said Kristen.
Ned and Alexis sat on the couch as Nikolas and Stefan sat in chairs across from Kristen. She took in a deep breath before she began and prayed silently to Mikkos to help her use the right words to tell them the truth.
