Chapter 20:

Dante watched Lulu as she slept. He felt relieved that she was back and safe. He couldn't shake the feeling that they haven't seen the last of Valentin Cassadine. Valentin had planned his abduction of Lulu for a long time. He doubted that they had seen the last of Valentin.

Nikolas sat next to him on the sofa. "What are you thinking about, Dante?"

"I don't think that Valentin is someone that wouldn't give up without a fight," Dante said. "He is going to try and get Lulu back."

"We are going to stop him before that. Between the guys that I am going to hire to keep an eye out on her and the guys that you dad is going to have watching her. There is no way in hell that he is getting close to her."

Valentin was on his phone as his jet headed back to the states. "Is it all set? Great. I cannot wait for this to happen. I love toying with people's lives for the hell out of it."

Two weeks later….

After being a short stay at General Hospital to make sure she was one hundred percent, Lulu was released from the hospital. Dante was there when they saw their baby for the first time on the sonogram. It was too soon to tell what they were having but they were excited to hear the baby's heart beat for the first time.

The Quartermaines were throwing her an "I am Not Dead Yet" party at their house. They invited the entire town.

"See how you were loved in this town?" Dante said as they were stopped by someone else for them to say how glad they were to see that she was alive.

"I know. Valentin had a video feed of my funeral that he was watching."

"The scum-bucket made you watch your own funeral?" Ethan said as he happened on his sister. "I should have thrown a rock at his head rather than that volleyball."

"Can we have a party without mentioned Who Shall Be Not Named?" Lulu asked. "I am glad that I am rid of him. If I ever saw him again… let's just say that it is not pretty thought."

"Sounds good to me, baby. I think that Tracy wants to give a speech since your Dad is not here." Dante said as Tracy walked into the middle of the room.

"Thank you all for coming. The last time we were all together was one of the saddest days of life. When we all thought that my lovely little stepdaughter has been killed. Today is one of the happiest days of my life when my stepdaughter was brought back to us after a long gaunt around the world." Tracy raised her glass. "To Lulu, we may have had our differences in the past but now I love you as one of my own."

"To Lulu!" The crowd cheered.

Dante pressed a kiss to her temple. "I love you baby."

The next morning, Dante walked Lulu to work at Crimson. Maxie and Kate were running around. "What is going on, Connie?" Dante asked as Kate dashed into her office.

"Someone just bought the magazine and they are coming in this morning," Maxie explained. "We are getting ready."

"The magazine was bought up?" Dante asked.

"Don't worry Lulu's job is safe. He wants to keep the staff that we already have," Kate said. "And Lulu, I am glad that you are not dead."

"Uh thanks, Kate." Lulu went over to her desk. "I am glad that I am not dead either."

The elevator dinged.

"He's here!" Maxie exclaimed.

There were footsteps then. "Hello Lulu. It's so good to see you again."

I'll give you one guess on who that person it!
