I couldn't help but smile as I saw Emily and Danny playing together on the floor of the sitting room at the Quatermaine's.
"So how is my cousin these days?" I asked sitting on the couch in front of them.
"HE's doing pretty well actually. Being with his Grandmother is helping him a lot especially with Spencer and they both send their love," she smiling up at me from playing cars with Danny.
"That's good. Are you guys planning on coming back for the holidays?"
"We aren't sure yet. Nikolas seems to be planning something but won't let me know what it is. Have you heard from him at all?" she asked looking back at Danny.
"No and I don't plan on it either, I mean it's been three years since I've seen him last and he's missed so much of Danny's life. But there is a new woman in town, her and her husband got into an accident a last week. But apparently her husband has no memory of his life before three years ago, she seems to think that he could be him."
"Could he? I mean yeah it sounds crazy but crazier things have happened."
"Emily I have seen this man with my own eyes. He looks nothing like Jason, I mean if you were trying to pick out things they had in common it'd be blue eyes, but other than that nothing. She came to the house, that first night and told me who she was and what she thought and expected me to go running to the hospital or something."
"Wow does Mom know?"
"Not that I know of. I mean this lady didn't seem to know that he hasn't always been a Morgan. But I haven't told her, I mean you saw her when he first left. She started drinking again and she was calling me in the middle of the night saying it was my fault her baby left, if it hadn't been for Edward you and I both know it would of taken her a hell of a lot longer to accept Danny than it did and it helped that AJ stepped in when he realized that Jason wasn't coming back."
"You should tell her before this woman figures out who he was before his accident and she talks to Mom." She said handing Danny a truck.
"I know but how do you talk to someone about this. Just go up to them and say 'So I know you are just barely getting to like me again because I drove away your son with the birth of his child, but there's this crazy woman walking around town saying that her husband is actually Jason. What do you think we should do about it?' She's going to eat me alive Emily, I love her I really do she's so good to Danny and the kids. But she has never forgiven me for being the reason why Jason left and this woman is just going to make things worse."
"Well I couldn't agree with you more on that Sam, this woman is going to make things more difficult for everyone," Monica said as she walked into the room.
"So how much did you hear?" I asked her.
"Enough, and I am sorry if I ever made you feel like you couldn't come to me. I do realize that my drinking caused me to say some horrible things to you and I don't think I ever did apologize for those phone calls. But this woman, if she is thinking that this man is Jason then that could cause problems for not only you but for Danny and the money and shares that are technically Jason's but are given to Danny. I know that you wanted to raise Danny on your own, without the money and the pressure that comes with it. But we both know that when the opportunity comes we want Danny to know that he has the chance to go out in the world and no offense but right now you are not in the financial place to offer that to him and if this woman takes this to court she could hold up any money that could help Danny for years."
"Gammy," Danny said walking over to her.
She smiled as she sat down on the couch and picked him up and sat him on her lap.
"I'm really sorry I didn't tell you about this earlier Monica. I just didn't know how to bring this up, I mean if Patrick hadn't been there when the lady came to the house I don't even think I would of told him."
"No I get it. I mean it's taken a lot of time and energy to get used to the fact that Jason is gone. But we have Danny and we need to focus on making sure his future is secure, no matter what," she said kissing the top of Danny's head.
"So what do you want to do? I mean yes I have control of that kind of stuff with Jason's name, but that's because he's presumed dead after they found his car. If this man makes a convincing argument then everyone will be affected, not just Danny."
"Have you talked to Nik about this? I mean he would be happy to help out in any way he can," Emily said from the floor handing Danny toys to use on Monica.
"Nik was almost as mad as Sonny was when Jason left and I told them about Danny."
"I will call the lawyers tomorrow and make sure that anything with Jason's name on is locked down and doesn't get touched without mine and Sam's signatures," Monica said as she took a car Danny was handing her.
"Okay well call me if you need anything else. I have to get the kids home, they have school tomorrow and homework to finish," I said getting up.
"Okay, I will call tomorrow with what the lawyer's say. Goodbye Danny," she said kissing the little boy and handing him to me.
"Say bye bye to Auntie Emily," I said to Danny.
"Bye Danny. I will stop by your house tomorrow, I still have a couple days in town," Emily said standing up as we walked to the door.
"Okay. Kids! Come on, time to go!" I yelled down the hallway.
We waited a few minutes before we heard Kristina and Morgan running towards us and saw Dante carrying a sleeping Molly.
"Okay what do we say to Monica you guys?" I asked.
"Thank you Monica," Kristina and Morgan said at the same time.
"Thanks Monica, they had a lot of fun," Dante said as he grabbed both his and Molly's jackets.
"I'm just sorry that Lulu wasn't here Dante. I know that she will be sad she missed you," Monica told him with a knowing look.
"Yeah I was sad too. Uh Sam I really have to get home, I have a big paper due," he said shifting Molly.
"Right, thanks again Monica. I will see you tomorrow Emily. Come on kids I have to get the car back to Patrick," I said as we walked out.
