Zack laughed as Morgan stood up.

"I'm going to go grab a shower, too," Morgan said as he rubbed Zack's head. "Then we'll see about going for that swim we promised you."

Morgan left, leaving Dillon, Matt, and Zack in the kitchen.

"You need help taking a bath, Zack?" Matt questioned.

"Yeah," Zack replied. He knew there were times when he'd have to ask for help now. "Thanks."

"I'm going to make a few calls," Dillon told him. "Have to make sure everyone we know is there this afternoon."

"Gee, thanks bro," Matt replied in sarcasm, standing up and wheeling Zack to the downstairs bathroom.

"Hey, Zack, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure," Zack replied as Matt helped him get his clothes off, then put him into the tub.

"You've read a ton of books, and you seem to observe a lot of romance. Do you think it's possible to love again after somebody has lost their soulmate?"

"Yeah," Zack replied. "I think it's possible. I mean, just because you lose your soulmate doesn't mean you still can't love. You have to believe that the person you loved would want you to be happy. If they can't be with you, then they'd want you to be with someone who can make you feel as good as they did when they were here."

Matt helped Zack wash up.

"I think you're the smartest nine-year-old that I know. So tell me, why aren't you on top of the world right now? I mean, you have a real family. What's wrong?"

"I- I'm jealous," Zack told him. "Of Lucas."

"Well, you happen to be talking to somebody very experienced in the jealousy of a younger brother department," Matt started, taking a seat on the ground next to the tub. "Why exactly do you feel that way?"

"Lucas was made because my dad and Emily love each other, and I wasn't," Zack told him. "He's just been born and he has everything that I'll never have. He's got both my Dad and Emily in him. And... he's going to able to walk. How can he look up to when he's the one who's going to have to help me do things?"

Matt sighed.

"Zack, I don't know anything about your birth mother, but I do know that the woman who made me is horrible and mean. And blood doesn't matter, not when it comes to love. And as far as Lucas looking up to you, he's going to because you're smart and nice and an awesome kid. He probably won't even notice that you can't walk."

"I just want to be a good big brother," Zack told him. "What if I mess up and Lucas ends up hating me?"

"The thing about brothers is that they're forgiving. I'm sure Lucas will love you no matter what," Matt reassured, helping Zack up and drying him off.

"You're really lucky that you're getting a real family. I know your parents love you very much."

"Thanks, Matt," Zack told him. "I wish I had you as a big brother."

Micheal stuck his head in.

"Matt, Patrick called and asked if you'd keep Zack a little while longer," Micheal said. "Something came up at the hospital. Said something about you being his official babysitter or something. I have to take Morgan somewhere, we'll be back in about two hours."

Matt wanted to ask for more information, but Micheal was gone as soon as he turned around.

"Well, kid, looks like it's just you and me for swimming. I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure your dad just has to do a surgery or something."

"Are you a good swimmer?" Zack asked.

Matt blushed.

"I.. I am if I hold onto the edge. Sorry, it's disappointing, I know."

"You can't swim, either," Zack realized. "It's alright, I'll hold your hand. I can't swim, either. I just love being in the water."

"Maybe someday I'll show you my family's house in Port Charles. There's a boathouse where I like to swim on our property," Matt commented as he found his swimsuit and helped Zack put his on.

"Do you think Lucas will like swimming?" Zack asked as Matt helped him into the pool, where he held onto the edge.

"I think he'll like everything you like. But most of all swimming... he already seems like an adventurous little boy. You have seen him, haven't you?"

"Yeah," Zack replied. "He's so... tiny."

"He is small, but I can see strength in his eyes, just like in yours," Matt explained, holding onto Zack against the walls.

"You know, a lot of kids would get very sad if they had to be in a wheelchair, but you are so happy. I'm proud just to know such a special kid, Zack. And Lucas will be proud of you, too."

"I still get sad about it," Zack told him. "I just try not to show it. If I show it, people might think I'm weak and can't do anything for myself. I want to be able to do everything on my own so people don't feel sorry for me."
