Liz and Lucky were sitting on the couch in each other's arms when Sonny came into the room.Sonny: I'm sorry, but it's time for Lucky to go.
Liz and Lucky looked up at him.
Sonny: I guess a few more minutes won't hurt.
Liz started to cry in Lucky's arms.
Lucky: Hey, it's only for a little while. We will be back together soon.
Liz: (crying) I don't want to let you go, I don't want to lose you again.
Lucky: You won't lose me, I am never leaving you or Lacey ever again. But you heard Sonny, it has to be this way, it's safer.
Liz: I know you're right.
Lucky takes Liz in his arms and holds her close and then while still holding her secure in his arms he lowers his lips to hers. He kisses her full on the mouth finding her tongue with his. They kissed for what seemed like hours, never wanting to let go. Finally, Lucky pulled away from Liz, leaving her breathless.
Liz: Wow! what was that for?
Lucky: To hold you over until we can be together again.
Liz: Well in that case can I have another one?
Without saying a word Lucky kisses her again.
Liz: I want you so much, Lucky.
Lucky: I know, me too, there is nothing I want more than to make love to you right now. Our time will come, Elizabeth, as soon as we are together again. At least that gives you something to forward to.
They kiss again and Sonny comes back in the room. He clears his throat and Liz and Lucky pulled apart.
Sonny: We really have to go now.
Lucky: (turns to Liz) I'll see you soon and remember I love you, Elizabeth.
Liz: (tears in her eyes) I love you too.
They share one last hug and then Lucky leaves the penthouse with three of Sonny's men. Liz ran upstairs in tears and went into the room where Lacey was sleeping. Liz took her baby in her arms and held her close.
Liz was sitting on a rocking chair, rocking Lacey and sobbing at the same time.
Liz: It's okay, my angel, Daddy is going to be fine. He loves you and don't you ever forget that. He loves us both with all his heart.
Liz continues to sob as Sonny walks into the room.
Sonny: Liz, you ok?
Liz: (looks up at him) I am so scared, Sonny.
Sonny: I know, sweetheart. I just heard from my pilot and he informed me that they had a safe take off and are safely in the air. They will be in Puerto Rico in about six hours.
Liz: When do we leave?
Sonny: Not until Lucky is already there, I don't want to be to close behind so we still have alittle bit of time before we have to go.
Liz: Sonny, I know you said you would tell my grandmother everything when you come back, but she must be worried sick. I left the hospital without telling anyone where I was going. I have to call her and tell her I am alright, and I have to call Luke and Laura.
Sonny: Ok, you can call them but you can't say a word about Lucky, not yet, or where you are going. Liz: Alright...I will tell them that I just needed to be alone with Lacey and that I will be in touch.
Sonny: Ok....you can use the phone in my den. Would you mind if I held Lacey?
Liz: Not at all.
Liz places the baby in Sonny's arms and goes to the den to make her phone calls.
