The Parent Trap – Chapter 1

If their love's on skids

Treat your folks like kids

Or your family tree's

Gonna snap!

So to make 'em dig

First ya gotta rig.

What do ya gotta rig?

The parent trap!

Cameron Webber-Spencer padded out of his room quietly. With Mommy working all sorts of strange hours, he was never sure if he would find her asleep or awake most mornings. And Daddy had always told him not to wake Mommy up when she was sleeping if he could help it.

That is before Daddy went away.

He still didn't completely understand it. Mommy had told him Daddy was sick and had to go to a special hospital to get better. But Daddy got sick and was in the hospital all the time! Never before could Cameron not go visit him there! And Daddy had never stayed in a hospital different than the one Mommy worked at!

And Daddy always came home after he had been sick before too.

Cameron knew Daddy was out of the hospital. What he didn't know was why he was staying with Uncle Nik and John. Daddy had always come home and Mommy had always made a big party out of it. But not this time.

Mommy had just told him they had grown up problems and it had nothing to do with him. Daddy had said pretty much the same thing. They both said they were working on them, but Cameron didn't see much of that going on. Neither one talked to the other outside of stuff to do with him. And that tended to be about who was going to pick him up and where.

He found Mommy sleeping on the couch. She never took out the bed anymore since Daddy left for the hospital. Mommy also had started sleeping in shirts that Cameron knew were Daddy's. This morning she had one with the Port Charles Police Academy proudly written on the front.

He really thought he was being quiet, but maybe he wasn't. Mommy opened her eyes and smiled at him almost as soon as he reached the couch. "Good morning baby boy," she cooed as she reached out to ruffle his hair.

"Morning Mommy."

"So what do you want to do today?" she asked sitting up and stretching her arms above her head.

Cameron smiled. Today he was going to spend the whole day with Mommy. He had been excited about it all week. "Can we go to the park?"

"Sure."

"And watch a movie?"

"You can even pick it."

"And can we visit Mike at Aunt Ruby's?"

He saw Mommy bite her lip. That was another new thing. Mommy had stopped going to Aunt Ruby's and he never saw Mike anymore. He missed his cookies. Mommy never really told him why they stopped going to Aunt Ruby's. She would only say something about not wanting to run into someone while they were there.

"Well, we'll see how tired you are after everything else, but I think we may be able to do that."

"YEAH!" Cameron launched himself at his mommy and hugged her hard. This was going to be the best day.

Well the best a day could be without Daddy.

Later that day

Cameron came skipping back into the apartment. Today was a great day. They had spent all day at the park, picked out movies to watch tonight and even got some cookies from Mike.

He jumped on the couch and swung his feet. "Come on Mommy! Let's watch the movies!"

Mommy laughed, shutting the door and placing her purse down on the ground. "Which one should we watch first?"

Cameron thought long and hard about it. Mommy thought they would only watch one before he fell asleep and he could watch the other tomorrow night. As much as he loved to watch Oliver and Company, he really wanted to watch the movie Mommy picked out with Mommy.

"The one you picked Mommy."

Mommy put the movie in the DVD player and sat down next to him. "This is a movie I loved when I was a little girl."

Cameron snuggled into Mommy's side and started to watch the movie. As he realized exactly what the movie was about, Cameron sat up straighter and started to pay more and more attention. By the time the movie was over, Cameron had an idea. He just needed some help.

And he knew just who to ask.
