GH2011.7: RESCUE MISSION   After hours of pouring over paperwork, Jason rubs his eyes wearily as the words in front of him start running together. Robin enters his study silently, sees him taking a break, sneaks up behind him and wraps her arms around his chest. She kisses his neck sensuously.   He turns around to face her and smiles before pulling her into his lap and kissing her deeply. She starts giggling, "My favorite kind of greeting from my husband! I should sneak up on you more often."   "You can do anything you want to, Mrs. Morgan," Jason says with a deep growl. He stands up, with Robin in his arms and starts to take her into the bedroom.   Then his phone rings. Robin buries her head in his chest, "Do you really have to answer that?" she protests.   He puts her down gently, "Yeah, but I'll make it short," he says, quickly kissing her again.   He watches as she walks teasingly into their bedroom before answering, "Yeah?"   Mark's anxious voice greets him at the other end, "Hey Jason. Good, you're there. Dickerson just called from New York. Tracy put a hit out on Lisa. She tried to put one on you, but nobody's willing to act on it."   Jason sighs slightly, Tracy's more of an annoyance to him than anything else. But Lisa is much more vulnerable. "I'll have security beefed up here, just in case. I want extra people put on Lisa; she's in no condition to watch out for herself. The only people I want allowed in to see her are myself, Lucky and Lu Spencer. I also want a guard put in her room. Anyone that looks new or unfamiliar, don't let them in. Put the word out on the street that Lisa is under my protection. "   "Will do."   "Let me know if you hear anything else, Mark. Also, call me when Lucky gets back in town. He's running a very personal and sensitive errand for Lisa, so he'll probably head straight for the hospital. Laura Cassadine is with him. She's okay to see Lisa too."   "Anything else?" Mark asks.   "Just keep me informed," Jason says before hanging up.   He walks into the bedroom, where Robin has changed into a slinky black negligee. "Where did we leave off?" she asks huskily.   He wraps his arms around her, pulling her tightly to him, "Right about here, I'd say." He picks her up and carries her effortlessly to the bed, his kisses ravishing her as if for the first time.   ***** Lucky and Laura sit patiently outside the house where Zachary is being held. It isn't long before Jason's man, Carlson, comes out to the car. "The house is secure. You can go in anytime."   They get out of the car and walk briskly up to the door. Sharing a quick smile with his mother, Lucky knocks on the door. They don't wait for an answer before brazenly entering.   The gangly fellow with a British accent meets them at the door. "Who do you think you are?" the man says irately. "This is a private residence! I should call the local constabulary and have you arrested for trespassing!" he blusters, knowing exactly who they are and who they came for.   "I believe you've been expecting us," Lucky says strongly. "We're here to pick up the Smith child."   "I..I..I don't know what you're talking about," the man stammers. "We don't have any children here."   Laura gets up in his face, her eyes glittering with challenge, "You're lying," she says smoothly.   Just then, they all hear the baby screaming. Lucky grabs the guy by his collar and slams him against the wall, "No kids, huh?" he challenges through gritted teeth. "You lying sonofa...!"   Carlson, comes in from the back, having personally rechecked the house thoroughly. "Spencer, the kid's back here."   "Show me," Laura says.   "This way," Carlson says, leading Laura into another room.   Lucky slams Maxwell against the wall again for good measure, "You messed with the WRONG people, Man! Do you have any idea what Morgan will do to you? That's if I don't decide to take care of you myself!"   Carlson comes back in the room. Lucky hands Maxwell over to him like filthy garbage, "You know what to do." Lucky starts to head back to Laura.   Maxwell calls after him, "Just take the stupid little brat! All he does is scream anyway."   Lucky just shakes his head and goes back to where Laura stands next to the crib of a hysterical Zachary. His face is a blotchy red, and his breath comes in choking, gasping sobs. Lucky's alarmed at seeing his nephew like this, his young face covered in tears. "What's wrong with him?"   Laura shakes her head in horror, "Nothing that I can see, yet. My guess is that he misses his mommy and has been left alone to scream in his crib. Those men should be shot for letting him get to this state!" She turns to Zachary and opens her arms to him, "Poor Zachary. You miss you mommy, don't you?" To Laura's surprise, Zachary wraps his chubby arms around her neck and holds on for dear life. Only then does he begin to quiet. Laura's face melts as she looks down smiling at him. She glances back at Lucky, "Oh, he's such a sweetheart. How old did Lisa say he was?"   "Fourteen months." Lucky leans down to look at Zachary over his mother's shoulder, "Hey there Zack, buddy, I'm your Uncle Lucky. I know your momma."   Zachary sniffles and gives Lucky a watery smile, melting Lucky's heart. "You're a real trooper, but don't worry Buddy," Lucky says to him, "We're gonna take ya to see your Momma. You wanna go see momma?"   "Momma?" Zachary repeats, his tears stopping.   Lucky smiles broadly, "Yep, your Momma." Lucky opens his arms to Zack, who reaches back for him instantly. Gently taking Zack from Laura, he says softly, "Let's go home."   Without another word, they take the car back to the airport and board the jet bound for Port Charles. Once they are on their way, Lucky speaks, "I can't believe they just neglected him like that," he says as he holds Zachary close to him. He looks over at his mother, "Thanks for everything, Mom. I don't have a clue about babies."   Laura watches how naturally Lucky holds Zachary. She squeezes his arm reassuringly, "I think you're doing just fine, Lucky," she says, smiling.   Lucky glances down at the child in his lap and ponders what might have been...   ~~~~ Lucky stands outside the door to the gatehouse, pounding on it anxiously, "Hey Em, it's me, Lucky. I know you're home, Babe. Open up, or do I have to get pebbles to throw at your window again?"   She opens the door slowly, smiling slightly, "Hi Lucky."   She steps aside and lets him in. Tommy stands up and walks over to join Emily by the door. Lucky looks at Tommy, "Hey Tommy, what are you doing here?"   Emily gives Tommy a glance that keeps him from saying anything. She adds, "Tommy, would you mind? I need to talk to Lucky alone."   Tommy nods, "I understand, Em. Congratulations." He gives her a brief kiss on the cheek while Lucky stares on.   Lucky crosses over and sits on the sofa. As soon as she shuts the door, Emily quickly walks over to where Lucky is sitting. "Lucky, I've been trying to catch up with you. Mike was the one that had to tell me that you were out of town. We really need to talk."   "Sure, Babe, what's up?"   Emily sighs softly and sits next to him. "I have news. Lucky, I found out I'm pregnant." She looks at him expectantly, hopefully.   He looks over to her, floored by shock, "A baby? You're going to have a baby?"   She nods, then rushes through her next words, "I don't expect anything from you, Lucky. I don't want to tie you down. I know how you like to take off at a moment's notice. I completely understand if you don't want to be saddled with the baby. I just wanted to be honest with you up front. I thought you deserved to know."   "A baby?" he repeats, still dumbfounded. He looks at her stomach in amazement, then reaches out and touches it lightly, "A baby, you're having MY baby?"   Emily laughs slightly, tears forming at the corner's of her eyes, "Yes, yes, it's your baby. Our baby."   Lucky busts out laughing, "YEAH!" he whoops. "Woo hoo! I can't believe it! I'm gonna be a dad! Wow! This is great, Babe!" He grabs her and pulls her towards him, showering her face and neck with kisses. He looks at her with eyes only of love, "Em, I could never feel tied down by you. I love you, you're everything to me. And a baby's a blessing, not a burden. Marry me, Emily, marry me."   Her body melts against his, "Oh Lucky, I love you too. Always. And yes, I'll marry you!"   ~~~~ "Lisa's going to be thrilled to see Zachary," Laura says quietly, while watching him cuddle in Lucky's arms.   Laura's statement brings Lucky back to reality. With his free hand, he wipes away the tears that threaten to spill over. "Yeah, she is," he says softly, still wishing things were different between him and the love of his life. He looks down at Zachary indulgently, "Your momma can't wait to see you, Buddy!"   Zack looks from Lucky to Laura, then claps his hands in delight and exclaims, "Momma!"   *****
