Sooner Than Heaven - Chapter 16

The world at the moment, suddenly became still. Their he was. His son. The son he thought he had lost forever. Was he in heaven? Luke couldn't believe it. Their he was. Standing right before him, next to Emily and Liz. It was so unreal. It had to be a dream. Luke stood their for the longest time, unable to speak. Lucky did the same. Just then, Laura came to.

"Laura honey?"Luke asked,"Are you okay?"

"Mmm..."Laura sighed,"I had the most wonderful dream, Lucky, he was here... he looked so real,"she said. She slowly looked up and saw Lucky, standing their. The vision was so blury.

"Mom,"Lucky cried. He ran to her, and gave her a huge hug.

"Lucky?"She cried,"My baby, is it really you?"

"It's me Mom,"Lucky whispered,"I'm here. I'm home. For real, its not a dream this time."

"It's true, you guys,"Liz said stepping forward.

Laura was bawling. She wanted to hold onto Lucky and never let him go. She was afraid that if she did he'd dissapear again.

"Lucky?"Luke said, tears were now finaly falling down. It took him awhile to sink in that he was really, truly, honestly their.

Laura let go then, and Lucky raced over to his dad and they leaped into each others arms.

"Cowboy!"Luke cried. "It is you! How!"He cried, feeling so confused, yet so happy at the same time,"Your supposed to be..." he couldn't even say the word. It didn't matter though cause he wasn't.

"Dead?"Lucky finished. He let go of Luke,"I didn't... the body wasn'tmine..."

Luke had a stunned look on his face,"Then how... how... where have you been all this time?? How did Liz find you??"

Lucky gazed at Elizabeth, and liz nodded. Together, the two of them filled them in on everything. How Faison had kidnapped him, faked his death, and had been holding him hostage for over a year. How he had threatened to go after Elizabeth if he ever escaped. How last week he had tried escaping, but that only led Faison to go after Liz... then finally he explained the part about the fire last night and how they finnaly got out.

"That's where you've been?"Nikolas whispered for the first time since Lucky got their. He couldn't believe it. THe brother he thought he'd lost was home.

"That's the whole story,"Lucky grinned,"Hey Nick, brother,"he said. The two hugged.

"I should have known,"Luke said shaking his head,"I am so sorry, Lucky, I feel as if this is all my fault..."He reached out to hug his son again,"Wait,"he said suddenly,"Did Faison ever tell you what he wanted you for? This just doesn't add up"

Lucky shook his head,"I don't know,"He admitted,"And as far as I'm concerned, he died in the fire last night... theirs no way he could of gotten out of that room."

Luke looked at Elizabeth,"Your dreams were right,"he said.

Liz smiled,"I know... they all make sence now don't they?"

"Dreams?"Laura asked.

Liz then explained the dreams she had been having about Lucky the past few weeks, hows he been telling her he was alive, and he needed her help.

"Was their anyone else working for Faison?"Emily asked suddenly,"or was it just him?"

The whole room grew silent. Lucky gulped. Finally he spoke,"Their were a few guards... I don't know if they got out or not... I dont think anyone else was in on it..."he swallowed,"As far as I know..."

"So in other words you two still aren't safe here?"Laura cried. She hated the thought of her son still not being safe. All she wanted was for him to be safe. After all he had been through he just wanted him to be safe.

"What do you say you two stay at Port Charles hotel for awhile... atleast untill we know your safe?"Luke asked.

As little as Lucky wanted to be parted from home even longer, he agreed. At least he could spend time alone with Liz.
