Imagine if Lila really had adopted Luke and Bobbie as children when their mother died of appendicitis. Can the Quartermaine's and Spencers survive each other? Bonds and alliances are formed, lives changed forever. This is an AU story using General Hospitals original storyline of how Luke and Bobbies's mom died and not the whole Fluke fiasco. I also know the large gap in the children's ages is questionable but they are the original ages according to birthdates listed for each character.

This is a story of two people .. two people with a long history. Two people who love each other but have a lot of hurt and pain between them that needs to be worked out. What happens when a patient betrays you in the most heinous way imaginable? Will Lesley be able to come back from it? Will Rick be able to come back from it? With they turn to each other and come together to work through their pain, or will it drive them apart? Will Lesley let Rick help her after all the pain and hurt that he caused her? Or...will she push him away?
