When Love Is Enough
Lucy was sitting at the bar at the Outback and was completely depressed. Scott had just left town with Baby Serena Lee and left Lucy behind.
Now Lucy had just given birth to Baby Serena two months ago. She was acting as surrogate mother for her friends Dominique and Scott Baldwin. Dom died shortly after Baby Serena was conceived. But now that Baby and Scott had left town she was alone.
''Lucy are you alright? You look like your a million miles away from here? Care to talk about it?'' Felicia Jones asked.
''Oh, Felicia. I am still getting over Scott leaving with Baby Rena. I finally find love, the love I have been craving for years. and that love is taken away from me because Damian threatened Baby Rena not to mention he kidnapped her two days after she was born. Honestly Felicia I want to die. I don't see the point in living anymore.'' Lucy said on the verge of tears.
''C'mon now the Lucy I know would never think about ending it all just like that. The Lucy I know is a fighter and a mover and a shaker! She married for money and miscarried twice! And that Lucy survived it all. But this new Lucy cannot handle her daughter's absence--''
''What did you just say?'' Lucy asked looking up at Felicia from her drink.
''I said 'But this new Lucy cannot handle her daughter's absence.' did I say something wrong?'' Felicia was backpedaling and trying to reword what she said.
''No you said something most of the people in this town WON'T say...That Baby Serena is my daughter. They just look at her and say that she is Dom and Scott's daughter.'' Lucy said smiling at Felicia.
Just then a handsome 6 foot 3 inch, brown hair and brown eyed, handsome man walked up to Lucy and said..
''Hi I am Kevin Collins.''
Chapter 2
Lynne looked around the new apartment that she and Ryan bought. It was above a resteraunt called the Outback. Lynne was opposed to the Idea at first but then Ryan persuaded her that it would be a good investment.
Lynne was stubborn but gave in whenever her husband flashed those sexie dark brown eyes at her. She wanted to know more about what went on behind those eyes of his but whenever she would ask he would change the subject.
She looked at him and had an idea of how to celebrate their 3 month anniversary. She went over to him and started to kiss his neck softly.
''Ryan? Why haven't we been together lately? I miss you. I want to have a baby now. Please? Can we try?'' Lynne asked as she unbuttoned his shirt and passionately kissed him.
''Lynne I know you want to get pregnant but we don't have the money right now to support a child. We just got married and just started working at GH. Can you wait just a tiny bit longer?'' Ryan said.''But I will celebrate our anniversary with you though!''
And with that he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom and they made love like there was no tomorrow and like it was their last time alone together.
''What did you say your name was?'' Lucy asked this handsome man that stood before her.
''Kevin Collins. And before you ask..yes Ryan is my brother. But he ceased being the brother I loved and the twin I switched places with when he committed his first killing.'' Kevin said.
''Well, I hope that I can get to know you. I was going to come over to Kelley's tomorrow and have breakfast would you like to join me and we can talk more privately there?'' Lucy asked. All the signs that she was depressed were gone. There were new signs..signs of love.
''Sure. See you then.'' Kevin said.
''Good Night.'' Lucy said and left.
Tamera Malone was sitting in a lecture that all the interns had to go to, but she was thinking about HIM! She had met him earlier in the day in surgery and was totally taken by him. She was thinking about what could be when all of a sudden her beeper went off and she had to leave the lecture and her thoughts of the wonderful man in the ER.
''Dr. Malone.'' she said.
''We need you in the ER stat there has been a car accident and we are short staffed.'' the nurse said.
''Be right there.'' Tamera said. She really hoped that Dr. Chamberlain would be there! She wanted to see him again. But if he was not there she thought there is always tomorrow!
Lynne was burning with desire even though they had finished making love a while ago. She knew something was not right but could not pinpoint what that something was. But she dismissed it and cuddled with Ryan placing small kisses on his lower neck and shoulders.
This was her future and nothing would or could change the bliss that their love for each other created..Or could there be something?
Chapter 3
The next morning, Lucy was sitting at a table for two at Kelley's. She was waiting for Kevin. When she saw him yesterday at the Outback she felt something. But she did not let herself believe it. She did not want to set herself up to be hurt again.
''Good Morning Lucy.'' Kevin said sitting down opposite her.''How are you this morning?''
''What? I am sorry. I am fine. I was just distracted in one of my thought processes and did not even hear you come in.'' Lucy said and she could feel herself blush.''I think that you should tell me about yourself and what you are doing here in Port Charles.''
''I think I can do that.'' Kevin said.''But if you don't mind I would like to order a cheese danish and some coffee before we dive into my past.''
When Lynne awoke Ryan had already gone to work. She was disappointed. She wanted to talk to him about what she felt. She thought there is something going on with him. What could it be? He would never be unfaithful to her..would he? No. That could not be it. Maybe it was all the talk about starting a family that made him nervous.
''Ryan whatever it is you are hiding..I am going find out about it. You could not keep things from me before and I won't let you do that now!'' Lynne vowed to get the truth from Ryan that night.
A scrubbed up Ryan went into the ER only to find it empty. ''Oh great'' he thought.''I left Lynne for a false alarm?'' But then he saw her. A tall slender burnette in blue scrubs heading toward him.
''Dr. Chamberlain?'' Tamera asked.''I have been waiting for you.''
With his voice craking he asked,''You have? Why? I am married and am perfectly happy. The last thing I need to do is have an affair with an intern.''
Tamera was shocked she thought that Ryan was an easy target because he was so..so cute. But she guessed wrong. But she would change that. She had to!
Chapter 4
Kelley's
''Okay you want the whole sorrid truth about my past?'' Kevin said double checking to make sure he heard Lucy right.''Once I tell you, you might not want to see me again.''
After sipping her coffee, Lucy answered,''You have not done anything that I probably have not been accused of, or actually did. C'mon Doc spill it!''
Kevin takes a deep breath and then begins his monologue,''I was born on July 24, 1964. I have an identical twin brother Ryan Joel Chamberlain. Don't ask about the last name it is a long story. Anyway my mother was Marcia Denise and my father was (is?) Victor Joseph Collins. we lived on Jasmine Island which is about 20 miles from here. I was molested by my mother when I was 4 when she thought I was Ryan. I told father about it and he took me to Europe and I have been there ever since until two months ago.''
Not believing that this is the end of the story Lucy looks at him and asks,''Are you sure that is all that you have to say? Because I am getting the feeling that you are holding something back from me. What is it? It is not like you killed someone right?''
Little did Lucy suspect that Kevin thought exactly that!
Chamberlain's Apartment
Lynne was furious, no, she was more than furious. she did not know what was more than furious but she DID know that she was that. She really hoped that Destiny and Kristen had gotten the message. She decided to check her email account.
Just out of curiousness she checked to see if any women had left mail with her husband. There was one! Lynne had to see what it said. Ryan would never know.
