Life Moves Forward (General Hospital)

June 26th 2027 Part 1

10:19 a.m.
     Felix kisses the back of Lucas's neck. "Jack is with Cage and Kira and Tess are with Carly. We have the whole house to ourselves."
     Lucas groans lightly. "That's nice. I love our Saturday mornings off together. It's our only real us time."
     "I bought you something, it's in the bedside table drawer."
     "Does have anything to do with the fact that your hand is on my ass?"
     "Everything." Felix laughs, kissing his husband's neck. "Your ass is so hot, too hot. It's burning up, babe. We've gotta get these pants off you, and while we're at it let's take all your clothes off. Open your present."
     Lucas goes into the drawer and takes out a tube of lube, he swallows. "This is the good kind, the one you get when we need industrial strength. I'm in for a Hell of a pounding, aren't I?"
     "I'll be surprised if you can walk later."
     "As tempting as that sounds, we have Mick's birthday party later, I need to at least be able to walk then."
     "Alright, but no promises. I'll go as hard as you need." Felix says, pushing Lucas onto the bed, climbing on top of him.

     "Good morning, Jules." Hayden greets, hugging him tightly. "It's a good thing you invited me to breakfast because I need someone to rant to. And it's preferable that it's someone who hates Finn as much as I do."
     "I heard he's back in town, has he caused problems?" Julian asks.
     She rolls her eyes as she nods. "First thing, he didn't tell me he was coming. Then he expected that I'll just let him stay in our guest room. Don't worry, I kicked him to the curb. He wanted to pretend like everything is fine and he didn't just abandon me and our toddler. And what's worst, he's here pretending that he's the father of the year. He's tried three times to spend time with Calvin and each time Calvin's said no. He just doesn't understand that our son doesn't like him." She rants, taking a long drink of Julian's coffee. "This is burnt."
     "And mine." Julian comments, taking his coffee cup back. "But I do agree with you on one thing, Finn sucks. He should've stayed in Washington, where he might actually be wanted."
     "God knows he's more wanted there than here."

     "Avery, Ezra, why don't you two go play some video games." Ava suggests, handing her daughter some money. The two get up and head off to the gaming area. "I'm stressed." She tells Scotty.
     "Why are you stressed?" He asks, holding her hands.
     "Morgan."
     "Ah, yes, Morgan. What about Morgan?"
     "He is such a good dad to Maddison. They're so cute. I just wish we would've found out that he's Avery's father, not Sonny. I'd love to be able to let Avery celebrate father's day. I want at least one of my kids to hug their dad on father's day." She says, looking over to where Avery and Ezra are playing. "I just don't see any Sonny in Avery, but I see Morgan in her."
     "Than have her retested. There's that new method, it's whole job is to distinguish between family members."
     "Yes. Yes! Oh, yes. Oh, Scotty." She runs her foot up his leg. "You're brilliant. I'm gonna have one of those tests ordered by tonight. But first, I have to go to the bathroom. And I feel like you do too. Or you should." She bites her lip and starts towards the bathroom.

     "It is so nice to meet you." Nadia greets, shaking the young woman's hand.
     Michael pulls a chair out for her, helping her sit. "Thank you so much for inviting us to breakfast. We really wanted to meet you but we need you to be comfortable with that. So, since we don't know your real name, what do you want us to call you?"
     "Uh, Elton." She says, giving a nervous smile. "And I didn't really invite you all out. I just said I'd like to talk and you were nice enough to offer to take me to a really nice restaurant for breakfast."
     "It was the least we could do. You're giving us your baby." Nadia says, practically staring at Elton's stomach. "We really wanted another, but things happened when our youngest was born and at the time we were sure two was it."
     "Are you kidding? You're making sure that my daughter is loved and cared for, that's everything. Are these your two kids?"
     "Yeah, that's Catherine and Jonas." Michael introduces, moving Jonas to his lap. "Cat, Jonas, this is Elton. She's the one who's carrying your new baby sister."
     Cat covers her mouth, hiding her smile. "I'm gonna have a little sister? Jonas, you're gonna be a big brother."
     Michael bounces Jonas. "Say hi, buddy."
     "I gotta poopy, Daddy."
     "Okay, let's go." Michael picks Jonas up and rushes off.
     Elton smiles at Nadia. "Your son's precious, and your daughter is so beautiful. I know my little girl will be happy and loved. I feel good knowing that. Thank you both for wanting to adopt her. She's a lucky girl."
