Chapter 1-The First Step
It happened again. Li Mei-Lin known as Lynn to her friends, had been having the same recurring bad dream of being snatched. At fifteen, Lynn had everything going for her, straight A's, talented soccer player, greatest friends not to mention being strikingly beautiful, svelte figure, and chestnut brown hair and blessed with a great fashion sense. There were two things that were not quite as good, one her father and step-mother never being around, and two the persistent nightmare.
The recurrence intervention happened at her weekly sleepovers at her home, a one acre mansion, this time to celebrate the end of the school year.
That night during the sleepover, one minute Lynn was fine the next minute she was tossing, turning, and whimpering. Wynter Leeng, notices and wakes Lynn up.
"Lynn is you having the bad dream again?"
"Yeah the same dream where I am taken from someone by someone by force when I was young, but I cannot figure who I was taken from."
"You know I think you should see a psychiatrist. I know of one at Minitown Medical Center whose appointments are made a year in advance but I can get you an immediate consultation. We need to figure out what the dream is about."
"Thanks Wynter, I knew I can count on you."
Lynn and Wynter chatted for a bit before both drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile early morning in Port Charles …
Felicia begins tossing, turning and crying, flashback fourteen and a half years…
December, 1985:
Right as the divorce proceedings were coming to end and the judge about to award full custody of then 8-month old Cassidy Emma Cummings-Zhan to Felicia; Shane (later known as William) and Felicia in an argument
"Give me the kid and no one gets hurt."
"Where are you taking Cassidy?"
"None of your business, now give her to me."
"Not until you tell me."
"That is it, I have had it with you, you don't deserve to be her mother."
Shane pushed Felicia and got a hold of the screaming infant before she fell, Shane gets away before Felicia could get up.
Back to present day June, 2000:
"Nooo, please not my baby, please."
Mac startled, rouses Felicia.
"Honey you are having the bad dream again. Maybe you should call Kevin, and tell him and see what he thinks. I cannot bear to see you suffer like this anymore."
Felicia clams down, kisses Mac and said, "Thanks sweetheart maybe that will help."
Before long, Felicia fell asleep in Mac's arms.
A week later, Lynn is have consultation session with Dr. Kevin Collins.
"So Mei-Ling what seems to be bothering you ?" asked Dr. Collins after being a rattled himself when Mei-Ling entered.
"Well I have had the same recurring nightmare for awhile now and I want to know what I can do to stop it."
"What was the nightmare about?"
"That there was snatching going on and not sure who is really involved."
"And it has been going on for sometime?"
"Yes."
"Wow this time I am at a loss for words. What I can suggest is you keep a journal and record what you can remember every morning or whenever needed."
"Ok thank you Dr. Collins. Just talking about it is helping me."
Then Lynn remember something.
"Oh I forgot. I have something to show you, I found this a while ago."
Lynn handed over the picture. When Kevin saw the picture, he froze.
"Is there anything wrong?" asked Lynn a bit startled.
"No, no. Lynn could I hold on to this?"
"Yeah sure"
What Lynn did not know was that picture was about to change her life.
Ten minutes later, Kevin went to this boss' office to talk over the consultation case he just had with Mei-Ling.
"Dr. Leeng?" asked Kevin knocking on his boss' door, " I need to talk you about something."
"Yes Kevin? Come in, sit down. What is it?"
"It is the patient I just had…"
"Yeah my daughter's best friend, Lynn."
"Yeah I talked with her and she seems fine. I asked her what was bothering her and she told me. However, from the moment she entered my office. I knew something was up. Then right before she left she showed me a picture and my suspicions were confirmed."
"Which is what?"
"The woman in the picture is a friend of mine from back home in Port Charles, NY. I remember her telling me about a daughter that was taken from her. She never gave up hope that her baby is out there somewhere and had hopes of finding her."
There was a bit of silence, then Dr. Leeng said, "I see. I think I should contact the authorities and do something. All I know is that Lynn has been living on her own for quite sometime now. Her dad is never home anymore."
"Good idea. While you notify the authorities, is it okay that I contact the biological mother and let Lynn know the truth?"
"Okay, normally breaking the confidentiality agreement is against the rules but this time it is different. And I will have Lynn give you a call."
"Okay thanks."
An hour later Lynn gave Dr. Collins a call.
"Dr. Collins, Wynter's dad told me that you need to talk to me as soon as possible and that it is urgent."
"Yeah it is but you might want to sit down."
Lynn nervously sits down.
"Remember the picture you showed me?"
"Yes," said Lynn , not knowing what was about to happen.
"Well the thing is that the lady in the picture you showed me happens to be a good friend of mine. She has been searching for her missing daughter and you could be the daughter she is looking for."
Lynn shocked at the revelation uttered meekly, "No, that can't be, my real mother is dead, my dad told me so.
May, 1995 Li Mei-Ling with her dad
"Is my real mother still alive?"
"No, she died a long time ago."
"But how?"
"Enough Mei-Ling, not one more word about this subject."
Present day, June 2000
"Well your dad hasn't been telling you the truth. My friend is now living in Port Charles, which is in upstate New York and has been doing everything she could to find what she had lost."
After being told who her mother could be, Lynn , seemed to have taken it well after a bit of explaining. After that she was more than willing to do what it takes to reunite with her mom, her real mom.
At 5:30pm Kevin drove home not sure what he should be thinking of feeling.
Once he got home he found Lucy in the kitchen getting dinner ready. Lucy sensed something was wrong when she saw Kevin.
"Kevin, honey is everything all right? You seem like something heavy dropped on you."
"Well if you want to hear this, be sure you are ready."
"Okay, tell me."
"Well to start off, remember how when we were back in Port Charles Felicia would talk about her long lost daughter and how she wants to find her?"
"Yeah it was such a sad thing to hear about, I mean who would do such a thing?"
"Well," continued Kevin, "One of my new patients reminds me of Felicia, which could mean only one thing."
"You found Felicia's daughter?"
"It could be her, but we need to do DNA testing."
Just then the phone rang, Lucy answered it.
"Hi Felicia how are you? I am good, Kevin doing well too. Please send my love to everyone back home okay?"
Lucy then looked at Kevin and mouthed, "Felicia wants to talk to you."
Kevin got the phone from Lucy, said, "Hi Felicia, how is everyone?"
Kevin and Felicia then chatted for a bit and heard about the nightmare Felicia had.
"Uh Felicia, I have some startling news for you. A patient of mine today, Li Mei-Ling or Lynn reminded me of you, physically and literally."
Felicia froze.
Could this be the news I have been hoping for?"
"I think I may have found your daughter, your little girl who you have been searching for.
Felicia nearly fainted but regained her composure.
"Kevin, how old is Lynn ?"
"Fifteen."
The age sounds about right
