"A lost puppy looking for cold feet to snuggle up against to keep warm." said Luke.
Ari turned to see Luke Spencer.
"Mr. Spencer, just the man I was looking for." said Ari.
"I'm easy to find, but call me Luke." said Luke.
"I must tell you to watch your back and to hide your family because Clomens is plotting a revenge on your family and the Cassadines." said Ari.
"How do I know you're not in on it too?" asked Luke.
"You don't, but know this, I was Helena's slave for ten years and I am glad to be free of her." said Ari.
"Didn't you ever think of killing her?" asked Luke.
"Yes, but she would've known if I carried out my plans." said Ari.
"I see, but who is this Clomens guy?" asked Luke.
"Stravos's father." said Ari.
Luke wasn't surprised because he knew that guy looked awfully familiar. The boat arrived and Ari got on it. Luke watched the boat go and knew he had to talk to his son and call his wife.
He brought in a cup of coffee for him and a cup of water for her.
"I have a whole list of names." said Alexis.
He sat down and handed her the cup. She chugged it down.
"My, you were thirsty." he said smiling.
She just smiled at him.
"Do you want me to go through the list?" she asked.
"Lay it on me." he said smiling.
"Here we go. Amethyst, Anastasia, Athena, Chyan, Cleopatra, Daphne, Elizabeth, Emma, Esmeralda, Gabrielle, Isabella, Jacinta, and Pandora." she said.
"Take out Amethyst, Cleopatra, Elizabeth, Isabella, and Pandora. What does that leave us?" he asked.
"Anastasia, Athena, Chyan, Daphne, Emma, Esmeralda, Gabrielle, and Jacinta. Why don't you like those other names?" she asked.
"Amethyst is just a hard name to pronounce and Cleopatra is just a little odd." he said.
"I didn't think so." she said.
"Elizabeth is too common and Isabella, need I say more?" he asked smiling.
"I liked Isabella because it reminded me of Monte Carlo." she said smiling.
"I know that's why you picked it. Pandora is like a cursed name since she was the one who opened the box." he said smiling.
"What about the rest?" she asked.
"Jacinta is a little odd." he said.
"How about we make Emma her middle name." she suggested.
"I don't know." he said.
"Any other names you don't like?" she asked smiling.
"Chyan is a color, Daphne and Esmeralda are cartoon characters, and Gabrielle is a TV show character." he said.
"My, you watch a lot of TV. You're forgetting Anastasia is a cartoon character too." she said smiling.
"I like that name." he said.
"Do you have any other suggestions?" she asked.
"How about Natasha?" he asked smiling.
"NO!" she said.
"Then how about Anastasia Athena?" he asked.
"I like it." she said smiling.
"Then that will be her name." he said.
"What about Anastasia Athena Emma?" she asked.
"Too long." he said.
"I wouldn't want to disappoint your daughter." she said.
"Oh, alright." he said rolling his eyes.
"Good." she said smiling.
She yawned.
"Still sleepy?" he asked.
She nodded her head as she closed her eyes. He sat on the bed next to her and sang softly to her as she drifted off to sleep. Bobbie came in.
"How is she?" asked Bobbie quietly.
"She's tired. When can she go home?" he asked quietly.
"Not for awhile." she said quietly.
"Thanks." he said quietly.
"You better get some sleep and while you're at it take a shower." she said quietly and smiling.
"I can't leave her." he said quietly.
"If you want I'll stay with her until you get back." she said quietly.
"Okay. Thanks." he said quietly.
He kissed Alexis on the cheek and left. Bobbie sat down in the chair next to Alexis's bed.
"What are you doing here?" asked Stefan angrily.
"You have every right to be furious with me." said Ari.
"What do you want?" asked Kristen.
"The other man, Clomens, is plotting his revenge against your family and the Spencers." said Ari.
"You're leading us into a trap." said Stefan angrily.
"Believe what you will, but when Clomens is let go he's going after your sister and her unborn child. He will kill them in cold blood because he's Stravos's father." said Ari.
Everyone was silent and Stefan picked up the phone.
"I want two guards set in front of my sister's room twenty-four hours a day." said Stefan.
"This is insane. Why does he want to harm us?" asked Nikolas.
"We killed the only woman he ever loved who was exactly like him." said Ari.
"Will this ever end?" asked Kristen more to herself than to anyone.
"Not until he's dead. I am truly sorry for what I've done especially to you, Kristen." said Ari.
"It's not your fault. You had to obey Helena or she would've killed you. I understand what you had to do." said Kristen.
"Thank you." said Ari.
Then he left as the trio became silent.
