Date: 4-4-2010

Place: A rooftop overlooking a military base

Situation: Charles Fisher (35), Leslie Fisher Collins (30 and nine months pregnant, she is Charles' sister) and Leonard Collins (33, he is Leslie's husband) plan to assassinate John Connor's parents (Sarah Connor (44 ongoing 45) and Kyle Reese (35 ongoing 36)). Sarah (holding a 4 month old Kitty), Kyle and Derek Reese (39 ongoing 40) walk out of a nearby building in the present time. The bullet hits Derek's leg instead of Sarah and Kyle. Derek had willingly sacrificed his life for them. Charles, Leslie and Leonard are immediately captured and thrown into jail. Harshly, a soldier (apart of the resistance army) slammed Leslie against a wall in which started her contractions. With the help of Charles and Leonard, Leslie brought forth her son whose name is Jasper Cobain Finn Collins.)

Cameron (entering the jail cell): I heard a baby crying

Leonard: My wife, Leslie just gave birth to a son. His name is Jasper.

Cameron: Can I hold him?

Leslie (places Jasper into Cameron's arms): Sure

Cameron (leaves the jail cell with Jasper): Thanks

Leslie (sobbing, she begs): Please give me back my son

Cameron: You tried to murder Sarah and Kyle. The bullet struck Derek's leg instead of them. You don't deserve your son.

Charles (charges after Cameron): Give me back my nephew

Scene: A nursery

John (looking down at a sleeping Jasper): So this must be seed of my archenemies?

Cameron: Yes. His name is Jasper. What do you want me to do with him?

John: Jasper is innocent. He did nothing wrong to my family. He shall live.

Cameron: What about his parents and uncle?

John: I will make provisions for them. They will have custody of Jasper until otherwise.

Cameron: Why are you so kind and merciful?

John: I was once an orphan. I don't want Jasper to suffer the same fate.

Cameron (gathers Jasper up in her arms): I will take Jasper back to his family then

John: Thanks

Event: Gem Sparks' birth

Place: A Jail Cell

A prison guard (slams a pregnant Elisa Sparks against the wall): Welcome home

Elisa Sparks (feeling sensation down below): I think my water just broke

The guard: I don't care

Kendall Sparks (Elisa's husband): My wife is nine months pregnant. Why can't you see that?

The guard: You and your wife are traitors. You don't deserve my sympathy.

Elisa (hysterical, she yells): The baby is coming

The guard (locking up the jail cell): I am getting out of here

Kendall (comforting Elisa): Don't worry, honey. I will get you some help.

Elisa (preparing to push): Please hurry. The baby won't wait much longer.

Kendall (yells at the passing guards): HELP! MY WIFE IS IN LABOR!

Leslie (nursing Jasper, she yells from the next cell over): I was once in your wife's position. I don't understand how they mistreat pregnant women.

Kendell: My wife is in labor. Do you know anyone that can help my wife?

Leonard: I do know someone, but I don't think they will be able to help

Kendall: Why not?!

Charles: We are traitors

Elisa: Besides being a traitor, I am also an African American woman. Add this fact on top of everything.

Kendall: Our race has nothing to do with it

Cameron (walking by the jail cells): I hear a woman screaming

Kendall: My wife is in labor. She needs help.

Cameron: I will contact the doctor

Kendall: Thanks

Situation: The birth

Action: Lauren and Sydney fields assist Elisa with the birth. They call in reinforcements, doctor Derek Reese.

Derek (walking into the jail cell): I got the message

Lauren: I am glad you are here

Derek: Whats the problem?

Sydney: Elisa is on the brink of death. I can't heal her. The baby is breached and must be delivered asap.

Kendall (emotional, he begs Derek): Please save my wife and the baby

Derek: I will try my best

Elisa (with anguish): Jesus! OH Lord, please give me the strength to bring this child into the world

Derek: You shall have this baby

(Derek turns the baby around and the baby (a girl) enters the world alive but a little bruised. Gem Jubilee Sparks sees the world in shades of pink and blue. Wholeheartedly, Elisa and Kendall Sparks treasure their precious Gem. The Collins and Sparks families remain close even after this day.)

Place: The Collins' house

Action: Drenched in blood, Leonard (42) hangs from his bedroom ceiling fan. Depression is to blame for his unexpectant premature death. The gruesome scene impacts Leslie (39) so much that she has a heart attack and dies. Jasper's pure heart melts away as quickly as the last snowman that he and his dad built. Jasper lives in a bitterly cold and dark world until love reshapes his outlook on life.

Charles Fisher (stares at his brother in law dangling from the ceiling): Jesus

Jasper (sobbing): Mommy is gone

Charles (hysterical, he shakes Leslie): Wake up, Sister

Jasper (screaming): My parents are dead. They are never coming back.

Charles (slaps Jasper): Boy, don't you ever say that

Jasper: But it is true

James Ellison (enters the house): Jasper, I am here

Jasper (running into James' arms): My parents are dead

James (sympathetic): OH, I see

Charles (pulls Jasper away from James): Jasper belongs to me

James: Your sister and brother in law just died. You are in no condition to raise Jasper. The boy needs to be taught morals.

Time Period: Seven Months Later

Date: 6-21-2020

Holiday: Fathers' Day

Situation: Before John, James and Charles argue about who shall be Jasper's permanent guardian. Charles' negligence has motivated James to stand up.

Charles (yelling): Jasper is my nephew. He is my responsibility now.

James: You will create chaos within his life

Charles: How do you know that?

James: I have seen the real you

Charles: You are not perfect

James: I can provide a stable and peaceful home environment for Jasper

Charles: I don't believe you

John (exhausted): I can't take your arguing anymore. Please reach an agreement or else.

James: You are the judge. What is your final decision?

John (glances back and forth between the distraught little boy and the two men): Today is fathers' day. Jasper needs to know the love of a father.

Charles: So what?

John: James can keep Jasper

Charles (angry, he storms out of the courtroom): John, you are a total s.o.b

John (to Jasper): Nevermind your uncle

Jasper (choked up): Ok, I will

(James takes Jasper home where Jasper is taken care of very well. John spends the rest of the day with his own father, Kyle Reese.)
