Lucky and Nikolas walked in and saw Lulu sitting on Alexis's lap. "We're sorry." they said at the same time. "It's okay. I understand why you're angry. Would you mind if I lived here?" asked Alexis. "No. You, Nikolas, and Ned can stay. I do have a request, though." said Lucky. "What's that?" asked Alexis. "That the only thing I have to tell you when I go out is what time I'll be back because sometimes I don't know where I'll be." said Lucky. "He's mostly with Elizabeth." said Nikolas smiling. "If I'm going to be late I'll call you." said Lucky. "That's fine." said Alexis. "Do you guys want to order out for pizza?" asked Ned. "Yeah!!!" said Lulu excitedly. "I'll call Mario's." said Ned. Ned went into another room to make the call as Lucky and Nikolas sat down. "Aunt Alexis, why is your stomach so big?" asked Lulu. "I have a baby growing inside of me." said Alexis smiling. Lucky and Nikolas smiled at their sister wondering how she got so big so fast. "Oh! How did it get in there?" asked Lulu. "It came from God who lives in heaven." said Lucky. "He put it in there without hurting her?" asked Lulu in disbelief. "Yeah. The baby was so tiny at first that God put the baby through Alexis's belly button." said Nikolas smiling. Alexis and Lucky tried not to laugh at Nikolas's outrageous story. "That's how it got in her stomach?" asked Lulu. "Yup. That's how you were born." said Lucky smiling. "Cool!" said Lulu smiling. The group laughed as Ned came back in. "What did I miss?" asked Ned. "We were explaining to Lulu where babies came from." said Alexis smiling. "Maybe it was a good thing that I missed that." said Ned. "Anyone want to watch a movie?" asked Lucky. "Sure. Which one?" asked Nikolas. "Titanic." said Lulu smiling. "Lulu, you've seen that movie five times already." said Lucky. "Please." begged Lulu. "Alright. Anyone else object?" asked Lucky. They shook their heads as Lucky popped in the movie. Ned and Alexis snuggled on the couch as Lucky and Nikolas plopped into a couple of chairs. Lulu sat on the floor excited to see the movie.
About two hours into the movie Lulu had fallen asleep on the floor after eating her meal. The boys had gone to bed as Ned and Alexis still watched the movie. "I should take her to bed." said Alexis. "Stay here. She'll be fine." said Ned. He brought her closer to him. Near the end of the movie he could hear her crying and she buried her head in his shoulder as he rubbed her back.
Scene in the freezing water "I love you, Jack." said Rose. "Don't you do that. Don't you say your goodbyes. Not yet, do you understand me?" asked Jack. "I'm so cold." she said. "Listen, Rose, you're going to get out of here. You're going to go on and you're going to make lots of babies and you're going to watch them grow. You're going to die an old, an old lady warm in her bed. Not here. Not this night. Not like this. Do you understand me?" he asked. "I can't feel my body." she said. "Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me. It brought me to you and I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must, you must, you must do me this honor, you must promise me that you'll survive. That you won't give up no matter what happens. No matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise." he said. "I promise." she said. "Never let go." he said. "I will never let go, Jack. I'll never let go." she said. A few minutes later into the movie. "Jack? Jack. Jack. Jack, there's a boat. Jack. Jack? Jack. Jack! Jack. There's a boat, Jack. Jack?" she cried. Alexis cried harder into Ned's shoulder. A little bit later into the movie. "...And that he saved me. In every way that a person can be saved." said the much older Rose. Alexis's crying had slowed down a bit and he kissed the top of her head. After about twenty minutes the movie ended and Ned hugged her. He wiped away her tears. "This is the best movie I've ever seen." said Alexis. "Yeah, because it made you cry." said Ned. "It had an impact on me. It made me think of us." she said. "That's what I was thinking too." he said. "You mean about us?" she asked. He nodded his head. "I could've lost you and this little life growing inside of you." he said as he put his hand on her stomach. She put her hand over his and looked into his eyes. "But this movie in a way has a tragic ending and unlike this movie we can have a happy ending together forever. I won't ever walk away from you again. I want us to be together forever because we are one mind, one soul, and one heart. I love you, Alexis." he said. He took out the ring that belonged to Alexis and put it on her finger. "Marry me, Natasha." he said quietly almost seductively. She looked at him with mixed emotions and then smiled. "I'll marry you under one condition." she said. "What's that?" he asked. "Call me Alexis." she said smiling. "You've got it." he said smiling. Then they kissed and the baby kicked. "I felt that." she said smiling. "Me too." he said smiling. Then they looked over at Lulu who was still sleeping soundly and they smiled. "Do you mind if I used your mother's ring as your engagement ring?" he asked. "No. She would've wanted it this way. Well, I better put her to bed." she said. "I'll be up in a minute." he said. Alexis picked up Lulu and carried her to her room. She laid her down and kissed her on the forehead. Alexis went into the guestroom and started to shed her clothes. She had found some pajamas in a drawer and changed into them just as Ned walked in. He came up behind her putting his arms around her waist and kissing her neck. She smiled and turned around in his arms to kiss him. She got into bed as he undressed himself down to his boxers. He got into bed next to her and kissed her as they cuddled close, falling asleep in each other's arms.
The next day was the services for everyone who died in the explosions including the services for Luke and Mrs. Lansbury's deaths. Everyone had arrived as the speeches began. Lucky went up to speak. "My family is gone. All I have left is a brother, sister, cousin, and an aunt. Today I have to bury my parents and two aunts. Parents my sister will never know. Parents who loved each other even when it seemed hopeless. My aunts who loved my family unconditionally. I will miss them greatly. I hope the people who did this namely Helena Cassadine rots in hell for taking away my family." said Lucky. "My brother was the greatest. I loved him very much. We were poor, but we got by thanks to Ruby who in a way was like a mother to me. He always stood by me no matter what, we were a team and partners in crime as he would say. I lost my partner, my best friend, and a brother. Although Amy was my sister-in-law I still loved her like a sister even though she had a big mouth as all of you know. I'm gonna miss her gossiping about who kissed whom or who the hottest doctor is. Laura and I may not have been the best of friends, but she loved my brother with all her heart and that I admired her for. Goodbye, my family. Lots of love from Barbara Jean." said Bobbie as she started to cry.
