CHAPTER 10

-We are really high aren't we? Asked thhe boy, white as a ghost

-Everything will be OK Cowboy, said Luckky. It's safer to be in a plane than in a car.

-Jeremy? What do you say we ask the pillots if you can visit the cockpit? Asked Elizabeth

-COULD I? He was suddenly excited

-Miss? Asked Lucky to the stewardess, wwould it be possible for my son to visit with the pilots?

-Of course! Come with me, what's your nname?

-Jeremy

-Well, Jeremy, let's see the pilots, shee said, taking him by the hand"

Lucky laughed at watching him go, and Elizabeth took Jeremy's seat, next to Lucky's. She gently brushed her lips with his, and his forehead leaned on hers. They were nervous, both of them. What if the meeting with her parents didn't go well? Lucky knew, from all the friends he had, that the girl's parents NEVER like the boyfriend, but in his case, it would be worst. Not only he married their daughter, but they adopted a kid together. Lucky feared Jeff's reaction the most. Granted he is the one who always acted like Elizabeth didn't exist, but it would be hell for him.

"-You know what? Asked Elizabeth

-What? Replied Lucky, looking deep intoo her eyes

-I love you lots

-I love you too"

They were deep into a kiss when they heard Jeremy coming back running. He started talking about how many buttons there were and how the pilot let him hold the stick. The words were coming out of his mouth so fast, Elizabeth and Lucky were laughing. He took the window seat and looked outside. He wasn't scared anymore! This was the coolest thing, he said the his parents. He wanted to be a pilot when he grew up!

"-Ladies and gentlemen if you please faster your seat belts, we will be landing momentarily. Said the stewardess"

Jeremy started to talk again, explaining what the pilot told him about landing. He was so excited, he didn't even notice they weren't listening to him, that Lucky was squeezing Elizabeth's hand in his.

Lucky went for a pay phone and called his dad. When Luke heard his son's voice, he started to cry.

"-Lucky, thank God you're OK! Luke said, his voice breaking up, when we heard about the accident, your mother and I went crazy!

-Dad, what about the code?

-I don't care about a freaking code son!! We thought you were dead!

-Well, it was close. But I had time to get out before it was too late. What if your phone's on tab dad? Helena will know where we are!

-I don't think so son, first of all becaause I put a little device in, that would give her false indications to where you are. Secondly, she really think you are dead. While we don't talk in codes, who was that little girl I talked to the other day?

-Don't you talk about your grandson likee that!

-Come again? I know you are smart and sso will your children, but as far I as know, Liz wasn't even pregnant when you left Port Charles and now are you telling me you have a son old enough to talk???

-Let me explain! We came upon this litttle boy, in a little town. He was alone and living in the streets. The first time Helena's men found us, he was the one to tell us. He saved our lives. We left and let him behind, but I came back for him dad. That's why I needed the name of a judge

-You needed a judge?

-Sonny didn't tell you? I asked him to find me a judge that would sign my adoption papers for Jeremy

-Who's Jeremy?

-My son dad. Well, our son. Elizabeth and I got married dad.

-YOU WHAT?

-Well, we decided to go to Europe to meeet her parents, and we were afraid they would freak out because of Jeremy so...

-HER PARENTS WOULD FREAK OUT? COWBOY, WWHAT ABOUT US?

-Well you guys love Elizabeth so... Anywway, I'm calling to ask you to call Audrey and ask her to warn Elizabeth's folks we will be visiting them, so they are not too surprised.

-Audrey will kill you when you get back.. I'll call her, but don't do anything stupid like get her pregnant you hear?

-Don't worry dad. Will you tell mom? AAbout the marriage and Jeremy?

-Might as well soften the blow don't youu think?

-Yeah. Well, I'll call you next week. Tell mom and Lulu I love them, and tell Nikolas too, please

-Hell no! I'll tell your mom and she caan tell him."

Lucky laughed when he hung up. He went back to Elizabeth and Jeremy, who were waiting in this little motel near the airport. He told Elizabeth they would wait until the next day, to be sure Luke talked to Audrey. They slept in the same bed, all cuddly, knowing the storm would hit them in the morning.

They took a taxi up to Elizabeth's parents' house, and she rang the door bell. Jeremy was holding both their hands, and he was breathing deeply. Lucky could tell he was nervous. The kid could not believe, even if they adopted him legally and they were obligated to take care of him, that they wouldn't leave him if things got difficult. He lost everything and everyone in his life, why not Lucky and Liz?

The door opened and they came face to face with a woman, too old to be Elizabeth's mom.

"-Can I help you? The woman said

-I'm here to see Mr and Mrs Webber? Eliizabeth asked

-Oh and you are?

-Elizabeth Webber.

-Oh of course Ms Webber, they were waitiing for you, come in"

Elizabeth came in the house and looked around. It was so like their parents. All the walls were brown, or cream, or egg shelves. The woman led them to what Elizabeth believed was the living room. Lucky sat next to her, and Jeremy got in between her legs, and she put her hands around his waist. Jeremy was telling her everything would be OK, that he was there for her, when a woman walked in. Lucky quickly got up, so did Elizabeth, keeping Jeremy in front of her.

"-Elizabeth, what a nice surprise! Said the woman

-Hi mom!"

Jeremy got out of the way, leaning now on Lucky, while Liz took her mother in her arms. Jeremy looked at Lucky, and Lucky smiled at him. Liz was crying, she was really happy to see her mother.

"-My God, look at how much you've grown! Said her mother. You are so beautiful!

-So are you! You must have lost what? 30 pounds!

-Oh stop! And who are these gentlemen?<

-Well, mom, I'd like you to meet Lucky -Hi Mrs. Webbed

-Hi Lucky

-And Jeremy

-Hi Mrs. Webber

-Well hello there Jeremy. How old are yyou?

-7

-No, that can't be! You are much too taall to be 7. Are you sure you are not 10?"

Elizabeth's mother sat down, and she talked about their lives. Elizabeth was wondering where her dad and Sarah was, but she didn't want to ask. Mrs. Webber asked about Jeremy, school, friends, and Jeremy was looking at Elizabeth before answering each question. Finally, they heard footsteps in the hallway and they saw Sarah coming in the living room. When she saw her sister, Elizabeth got up and took Sarah in her arms. Sarah took Lucky in her arms, before sitting down next to Lucky.

"-Where's dad? Asked Sarah

-He should be home soon. There was a sllight problem with the research.

-How have you been? Asked Sarah to Luckky

-I've been OK, you?

-Not bad. Who is this little gentleman who seems to be glued to my sister?

-Go ahead Jeremy, Lucky said, you can annswer

-I'm Jeremy,

-Yeah but why are you hanging on so tighht to Elizabeth? We won't bite you

-ANYBODY HOME? They heard from the doorr

-DAD! Elizabeth said, running in his arrms."

Lucky saw Jeff slowly pass his hand in her hair, and he was jealous, without knowing why. Maybe it was because he was the one who took care of Elizabeth while her own parents were too busy to do so.

"-God Lizzie, I missed you so much! I hope you are here to stay now!

-Well, not really dad, but I missed you too. Oh dad, this is Lucky and Jeremy

-Hi Mr. Webber, said Lucky and Jeremy att the same time

-So you are Lucky, glad to finally meet you son. But who are you? He said to Jeremy, sitting on his heels.

-He's my son dad, said Elizabeth. And LLucky's my husband"
