By 2010, Elizabeth and Jason had tried and failed once again to make things work, and Liz had found her way back to Lucky. They were recently engaged when Lucky’s brother and Elizabeth’s close friend Nikolas found himself heartbroken by Rebecca Shaw (Natalia Livingston), the evil long lost twin of his late wife Emily (via Soaps). Elizabeth and Nikolas were drawn together and had an affair. Their indiscretion became public, destroying most of their relationships. Soon after, Elizabeth discovered she was pregnant, and once again was unsure who the father was. She decided to have a paternity test, but unbeknownst to everyone, Helena Cassadine switched the results of the test to make it appear that Nikolas was the father, per Soaps In Depth. Nikolas raised Aiden as his own for close to a year before Liz was encouraged to seek a new paternity test due to the little boy’s physical resemblance to Lucky. She discovered the truth just before her son Jake “died” and afterward, Lucky was in no condition to be a father, and soon left for Ireland.
Although Lucky’s the only biological father of Liz’s sons who’s still alive, and who at one point planned to raise each of her boys as his own, he has been out of the picture for many years now and plays little part in their lives. Considering how difficult the childhoods of Cam, Jake, and Aiden have been, it’s no wonder fans were upset when their happy family unit was once again destroyed after their beloved Franco died.
