A/N: I have been thinking of making this like a "Groundhog's Day dream". The only way that they can get their lives back together is to make sure everything is perfect. I hope you are enjoying the ride. I don't own any of the characters, they belong to General Hospital and ABC.
Johnny had woken up too at the same time that Elizabeth and Jason did. They realized that they needed to get another place and to send his mother and their sons home. "Francis, can you take my mother and sons to the airstrip. I don't think that it is safe for them anymore and we need to figure out a way to fix our problem. I trust that you can make it safely home and keep an eye out for them until this problem is resolved."
Monica could see by the looks on Jason's face that she was going home early. She had packed her bags already just in case. She felt a little unnerved at the zoo the day before but thought it was just a coincidence. She went over to her grandsons and asked if they had finished packing.
"Mom. I love you and I don't want you to get hurt. Can you please come home with us? I know that dad and Johnny are strong and can fight off the bad guys but you are our mom and Cam and I are worried about you. Please come home with us."
"Jake, I promise you that I will take good care of myself and your little brother or sister. This problem that is hanging over us is my fault and I won't be able to relax until it is taken care of. This man and his grandsons are after me for something that happened a long time before you were born or even I was born. I could tell you a story about it but you will have nightmares. The only thing that I can tell you is that your father and Johnny will protect me with their lives."
"Mom, can you tell me a little bit about the story? I promise not to get scared. I know grandma wants to know too. So does Cam."
"I am not sure exactly how to tell you this because you might not believe in what I am going to tell you about. Your father and I have loved each other since before we were even born. We have been falling in love with each other in different life times. The last life time I was going to college with my older sister and I was engaged to your father. My family was wealthy, Irish and Catholic. It was the early 60's and John Kennedy was the president then. My family and your father's family were friends with the Kennedys.
My parents were staying on the cape right down the road from the Kennedy Compound. My older sister knew your dad when they were both in elementary school. She had a crush on him but he didn't even know she existed. Sheena, my older sister and your dad dated for a while in high school. We started dating later on after they graduated. Sheena never did tell me that she was still in love with Sean. Then Sean asked me to marry him. I said yes. My sister was not happy about it and everyone knew at the campus except your dad and me.
Your dad picked us up and took us to the cape. Sheena had a boyfriend who my father would not approve. He was Italian and from Rhode Island. He was also in the mob or that is what he told anyone. We hung out at the Kennedy Compound for a while and then we went down to the house that my parents had rented for the weekend.
Sheena was getting drunk with her boyfriend. She came into the house and started a fight with me. Then she told my mother, Sean and myself that she was still in love with Sean. I was upset and walked outside by the water. I didn't realize that Tony; Sheena's drunk boyfriend was following me. Sheena had paid him to kill me and make it look like an accident so she and your father would be together. Tony hurt me and that is when Sean turned up. Tony pulled out a gun and I stood in between the two of them. He shot me and your father held me knowing that he was also going to get killed.
The man, Tony was never arrested for our murders and now he wants to do it all over again. It is hard to explain but it seems to be part of our dreams. We both dream about our past lives at the same time. I could start one of the dreams and then your father could go on from there. It is our connection and how we know that we are made for each other. I don't want to upset you but that is what we are fighting against. We are fighting not only for ourselves but for our whole family. I want you to know that is why I need to stay here with your dad and Johnny."
Jake and Cam ran over to their mother and hugged her. "We believe you and love you, mom." Monica just looked at Elizabeth and then looked at Jason and realized that she wasn't joking.
"Mom, he would have been taken care of a long time ago if we knew his last name. Right now, he is going by Smith but that has to be fake. We have found one of his grandsons and Johnny took care of him and so that is why Johnny is staying. We don't want this crazy old man to follow us back home. I don't want any more people getting hurt or worse."
Francis got the boys and Monica and took off to the airstrip.
I wonder if the nursing home is real and if they really need our help. Elizabeth looked up the nursing home and found out it was real. Jason sent the owner a check to help fix it out. He then found another place for them to stay at in Narragansett. The house was the same as the dream. They moved there and had also changed vehicles. They didn't want to be sitting ducks but they also didn't want to make it too easy for them.
The three of them tried finding the old man, Tony. They checked the history and saw a couple of things that looked like it could be him. The man's address was in Hyannis Port. It was a good lead. They drove to the cape and found the house. Jason saw a couple of the grandsons outside of the house. When Jason saw Patrick, he remembered seeing him at the zoo. He knew that they were at the right house. The problem was now what were they going to do. It is hard enough to prove a murder, but for one that happened in the sixties, it was going to be real hard. Their case was still open. Jason just wanted some closure so he could go back home and start his life again.
Patrick saw the car that they were in and went out to investigate it. He saw who was in the vehicle and went to get the others. Johnny shot and killed him before he hit the ground. Then Johnny put him in the back seat of the SUV and then took him into the woods and buried him. They took his wallet but left the cell.
Now there were down to two grandsons and the grandfather. The odds were pretty good that they could take care of them now but how to do that without getting caught. They went to stay at the house they rented on the cape. It was just the three of them so they only needed one house. They kept the house that her parents had rented out.
Elizabeth felt like she was being pulled into the past but this time she was ready for it. The three of them went to market that was in between the old man's place and the house they were staying in.
She could feel him before she even saw him. When he saw Elizabeth, he couldn't control himself. He went right after her. "You killed two of my grandsons. You are going to pay for that, bitch!"
"It is only fair since what you did to me and my fiancé at the time. Although when you are gone I will feel much better." Tony, grabbed a hold of Elizabeth and started to choke her. Jason saw what was happening and ran after the old man. Elizabeth caught her breath and she wanted to scream but couldn't. Johnny took her outside and they got in the vehicle and waited for Jason. Jason finished up buying the supplies and headed over to the vehicle.
The old man and his two grandsons just stared at the three of them. They knew what had happened and wanted to get revenge on the Elizabeth, Jason and Johnny. Right now it was a stalemate but Jason wanted to take care of this situation more than anything that he had ever done for Sonny in the past.
This was something that he wished he could have taken care of before but he was too upset to think about anything but his fiancé had just been murdered. Johnny understood that this was something he had to do and he wanted to make sure that Elizabeth and Jason had closure.
They waited two nights and there were no dreams during that time. Elizabeth was feeling restless and needed to go for a walk. She went to the beach and saw a shooting star. She wished on the shooting star that Emily would come to speak to her and give her the news she wanted to hear.
What she heard was Emily whisper, be careful and everything will be alright. I love you and my big brother. He is close by. I know that you can do it.
She turned around and saw the old man. He was alone and he seemed really sure about himself. "I see that you had to go off walking by yourself again. Don't you know that it is dangerous to do that here of all places. It does seem kind of like fate had its hand and bringing you back here. My grandsons are getting drunk because of what you and your friends have done to two of my grandsons. At least we will be able to bury one of them."
"I think it will be you and your other two grandsons that join them. I am not afraid of you. My husband will see you out here and kill you. He has been waiting for a very long time. Fifty years seems like a short time to some but to others it is a lifetime ago. My children are safe at home waiting for us and I promised them that I would come back to them. I was young and innocent before but I am not now. I have been hurt before and I always come out on top."
Tony grabbed Elizabeth and injected her with something to knock her out. He brought her back to the same part of the beach that he had before and he was looking forward to having her all to himself.
He laid her out and knew it would be a little bit before she came too. He ripped her clothes off of her and just stared at the beautiful sight. He could see that she was pregnant and that give him more of a thrill. He took his time having his way with her. He just wanted to see if she was different or if she was the same as she was in her other life.
He didn't know why but he realized that they were not alone. Johnny and Jason had seen them from a distance and while she was out, they were able to get closer to them listening to what the old man was saying to her. Jason wanted to be strong for Elizabeth but he knew that she was unconscious so she didn't even realize what was going on. Johnny went to one side of the old man while Jason came up behind him. He was able to get the knife that Tony had used on them in their dreams and was able to stab him in stab and kill him with the knife that had his fingerprints on it but not theirs. The grandsons maybe a problem later but they knew if they got rid of the old man most likely the boys would forget about them.
They got Elizabeth back to the house and dressed her. Johnny made sure that their bags were packed and in the vehicle. They dropped the key off at the realty and a check for any cleaning the rental may have to do. The next thing they did was go to the nearest airstrip and they caught a ride home. They prayed that Elizabeth and the baby were alright but they couldn't stay in town waiting for someone to go after them.
The plane got to the airstrip a couple hours after they arrived by then Elizabeth was up. She was talking about Emily and seeing the old man. She looked at her clothes and realized that she had on different clothes then when she was on the beach. She looked at her husband and started to panic. They got on the plane and then Jason told her what had happened.
"I think he injected you with something to knock you out. He took you to the same part of the beach where he had killed us before. He tore off your clothes and he was trying to decide what to do to you and talking to you like you were awake. He didn't realize that Johnny and I were there till it was too late. I remembered the knife he had from the dream. I had on gloves and stabbed him with his knife and left them on the beach. Johnny and I got you, took you back to the house and packed up. Here we are now on our way home. Once we get back to Port Charles, I want them to check you out and then we will go to mom's and see our boys."
Elizabeth tried to take it all in but all she wanted to do was cry. She prayed that the old man did not hurt the baby. She was glad that he was dead but was worried about the two grandsons that were left.
"I don't think that the brothers will come after us. I think enough has happened and maybe without their crazy grandfather, they can live a normal life."
Once they landed at the airstrip, they had the SUV bring them to General Hospital. Jason brought her in and they saw Felix and Sabrina on duty. They got her into a cubicle and Jason told them that someone had kidnapped Elizabeth and injected her with something. She had found out that she is pregnant when we were in Boston. "Please check to see if she and the baby are alright. They have to be alright."
The tests that they did on Elizabeth showed that she was a strong fighter and both her and the baby were fine. Felix told Jason that he needed to let Elizabeth get some rest. Jason had called his mother and they were on their way with Jake and Cameron.
Jake and Cameron saw their parents and ran to them. They were all so happy that everyone was home safe. Elizabeth told them that the boogeyman was no more and that they could all rest easy.
