Part 3: The Boom-Boom
Jason ran his hand over Carly's body, continuously kissing her lips. He could have done this all day.
So could Carly, for that matter. The phone started ringing and Carly groaned.
Carly: Oh… just ignore it.
Jason: It could be important.
Carly: So? Oh, fine, get it.
Jason: This will be as quick as I can make it.
Jason picked up the phone by the bed as Carly stretched out.
Jason: Hello?
Person: Boss, it's me, Dino.
Jason: What is it?
Carly sat on her knees and nibbling on Jason's neck.
Dino: Moreno's right hand man, Popalo, was brought to G.H. recently because of an auto accident. Word
is that Lenny King is in Port Charles and could be planning some sort of revenge plan.
Jason: What would King want revenge on Popalo?
Dino: King believes Popalo to be responsible for the death of his daughter.
Carly ran her hand across Jason's chest, kisses starting to stream down his arms.
Jason: Find King and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
Dino: I got you.
Jason: Good. Give him a one-way ticket to California and make it clear to him that I don't want him
carrying out any revenge plans in my territory.
Dino: Right sir. Good bye.
Jason hung up and turned his attention back to Carly.
Jason: Now where were we before we were interrupted?
Carly: Oh, somewhere around here…
Carly kissed Jason and pulled him on top of her, the passion between them regrowing (take that
however you want to take it). Carly rubbed her hands up and down his back and they continued to make
love.

Alexis entered the elevator and pressed for the first floor. The doors started closing when someone
yelled, “hold the elevator!”
Alexis stopped it from closing and she saw a man with weird, brownish blond hair in his forties enter
with this little, very blond girl who might've been 6 or 7.
Man: Thanks.
Alexis: It was no trouble.
Girl: Daddy, can we see Karen before we go?
Man: Sorry, Serena, but I think Karen is very busy right now.
Serena: All right.
*^*
Joe entered Popalo's room.
Joe: All right, Mr. Popalo, let's see how you're doing today.
Joe looked at the chart while Popalo remained unconscious. Under the bed, the bomb continued to
countdown.

Xavior was sleeping when Laura entered the room. Laura looked at her son, unsure of what to do. All
she could do was watch him sleep. She started to think of a time he was sleeping when he was a baby.
-^-^-^-^-
Laura stood by the crib, lightly brushing her hand against Xavior's cheek. The door opening caused
her to abruptly turn around. A crack of light entered the room as the door opened. It was Stefan.
Laura: Stefan, what are you doing here?
Stefan: I came to inform you about Nikolas.
Laura walked up to him, excited.
Laura: How is he?
Stefan: Nikolas is doing quite well. The nanny is taking good care of him.
Laura: Did you take pictures?
Stefan took them out of his pocket and handed them to her. Laura took them greedily and started
looking at them.
Laura: He's so beautiful.
Stefan: He looks a lot like you.
Laura: I can see Luke in him, too.
Laura continued to flip through the pictures.
Laura: Oh… I wish I could hold him.
Laura looks at Stefan.
Laura: Thank you, Stefan. Thank you for your kindness.
Stefan: Your gratitude is not required. I am simply doing as you requested.
Laura: But you didn't have to… and if Helena ever found out, she'd be angry.
Stefan: The word ''angry'' pales in comparison to what my mother's actions would be, but you are
right, she will not be pleased.
Laura looked back into the crib, sadly.
Laura: I hope Xavior and Nikolas meet one day and can be brothers. I also wish Nikolas would have had
the chance to know his father.
Stefan hung his head and then looked out the window.
Stefan: I wish you happiness, Lasha.
Laura looked back to Stefan and smiled.
Laura: I know you do, Stefan. I hope you find love, too.
Laura looked back at the pictures.
Laura: I also hope you don't get it ripped away from you like I did.
Stefan looked at Laura sadly.
Stefan: I will leave you now.
Laura: Thanks again, Stefan.
Stefan left the room. Laura looked at the pictures again. She was so grateful for all Stefan's help.
The pictures and the stories of her son meant so much to her. Laura looked back into the crib.
Laura: Xavior… someday we will be off this island, with Nikolas and we will all be together… I know
it. I promise to love you both so much and I promise I will never let anything harm you.
-^-^-^-^-
Laura looked at Xavior, tears in her eyes.
Laura: I didn't live much up to my promise, did I?
All those things she wished back then never happened and right now things were so complicated… Xavior
opened is eyes and saw his mother standing at the end of his bed.
Xavior: What are you doing here?
Laura: I came to see you.
Xavior: What for?
Laura: I'm your mother, I wanted to see how you are.
Xavior: I would think the conception of me being in the hospital would be the first clue of how I am.
Of course, why you would even care is beyond me.
Laura: Xavior, I love you. You know what the circumstances were, I could not help but not be there.
Xavior: Like you were that for Nikolas?
Laura: I tried to be, but I could not put my family at risk. All I could do was visit him when I
could.
Xavior: I have been watching closely as to what the relationship between you and Nikolas is for
awhile. It is exactly how it would have been between you and me.
Laura: That is not true at all. The circumstances of everything between Nikolas and me were partially
forged by Helena. If I was never forced to forget everything, things would have been a lot different.
Xavior: You can make up all the excuses you want.
Laura: I did what I had to do, and I'm sorry for it. Just please, Xavior, do not follow your
grandmother.
Xavior: Why, because she is the ultimate evil? A cruel, poisonous snake. I do not like to tell you
this, mother, but I am not far better.
*^*
Luke was heading for Xavior's room, where he knew Laura would be. Laura left a message with him
earlier telling him she was going to see him and he had to make sure the little snake didn't reel her
in so his grandmama could gut her.
Luke turned a corner and bumped into Nikolas. They stood for a second, looked at each other and were
not sure what to say.
*^*
Stefan was looking through logbooks when there was a knock at the door.
Stefan: Come in.
Bobbie opened the door and stepped in.
Stefan: Barbara?
Bobbie: Hello, Stefan, I came here to talk to you about…
Bobbie was interrupted when there was this giant explosion knocked her off her feet and onto the
ground.
*^*
When the elevator started to shutter, Alexis pressed herself against the walls. The man grabbed onto
Serena and did the same. Then the elevator shaking and stood still.
Serena: Daddy, what was that?
Man: I'm not sure, cupcake.
Alexis: It sounded like there was an explosion.
Serena: An explosion? Are we going to be all right, Dad?
Man: Yes, I'm sure we will be.
Alexis: Don't worry, I'm sure people are going to be here soon and they'll check the elevators and
find us. We just have to wait for awhile.
Serena smiled at Alexis' reassurance and believed it.
*^*
Luke sat up from the ground, coughing. Nikolas stood up, coughing also and looked around.
Nikolas: Oh crap, we're trapped here.
Luke looked at the kid.
Luke: You're kidding.
Nikolas: No, I am not. What the hell happened here?
Luke: My guess is a bomb went off somewhere in the hospital. Luckily it wasn't anything powerful to
make the entire building explode, otherwise we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Nikolas: Are you all right?
Luke looked at Nikolas, a little surprised to hear his concern.
Luke: Yeah, I'm fine. You?
Nikolas: Yes, I'm fine.
Luke: Good… Oh crap, Laura.
Nikolas: What about her?
Luke: She's here too.
Nikolas' eyes nearly popped out of his skull. He was extremely worried… Could his mother have been
hurt?
