~ Ok, tomorrow, is my birthday and my now ex-best friend decided to go out on a date instead of celebrating my 16th birthday with me, so all I'm asking is that you be kind, and please post a reply. This is my first Passions fan fiction, so I don't know if I've got the characters down perfectly yet. Ok, I think I'm done ranting, lets get on with the show!
Just so everyone knows, all my characters are played by their original portrayers. They were my favorites, and will remain as the stars in my visions of greatness!
And just so you know, things between ~ ~'s in the story are being THOUGHT ~
~ On another note, I wrote this story two years ago, so you have to set your mind back into 1999. You remember those days. Britney Spears was just becoming really popular, The Backstreet Boys were going head to head with N'Sync and 98degrees . . . Pop was in.
Ever After
By Jules
Chapter 1
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Let's say at the ski lodge, Sam and Ivy DID get it on, got hot and heavy, they did the WILD THANG, you know, had passionate, sweaty, desire and love-filled SEX. You know, just for fun . . . LOL! But after it, Sam, went all 'married guy' again, and went back to his Gracie (the bitch)
Plus, on top of that, I've been thinking, Faith and Grace were identical TWIN sisters, so why the hell would CHARITY have powers, and Kay and Jessica not? Just another huge mess-up by the writers I guess, that is sooooooo stupid, and they could do so much more with them if they just realized that.
Anyway, this takes place like a month after that.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ivy Crane looked down at the stick in her hands once more, "Damn, this cannot be happening."
She closed her eyes and a single tear managed to escape and run down her face as she remembered back to two days after she and Sam had made love; he'd seen her at the Book Café and had a hushed conversation with her . . .
** Flashback **
Ivy was just sitting down to a cappuccino when Sam had sat down across from her.
"Ivy, we have to talk, about the other night . . . Grace can never know about what happened, EVER. No one can. I love her, she's my wife, and the mother of my children. What happened with you was a mistake, a horrible mistake."
Ivy was dumb struck, this isn't what she was expecting at all, she couldn't be here, she just couldn't . . . "I have to go . . . I have to be away, far, far away."
With that, she grabbed her purse then ran out of the Book Café, holding back her tears as she expertly ran on her high heels.
Sam didn't leave the table, but he watched her run, feeling guilty about what he'd just said
** End of Flashback **
She looked back down at the stick, praying to see something different. Nope, the line was still blue. Ivy was pregnant.
~*~
Sam too was lost in thought, behind his desk at the police station, working a double shift, his wheels in his head working double time.
There was nothing in the world Sam wanted to do, then take back the last statement he'd said to Ivy, because in his heart, he knew, it hadn't been a mistake, not even close to one, it had felt so right having Ivy in his arms again . . .
~*~
Kay tossed and turned in her sleep, she'd been having the weirdest dreams lately . . .
** Kay's Dream/ Vision **
"Kay, Kay" the little girl called.
Kay spun around to the voice, "Who are you? Where am I?"
"I'm a messenger . . ."
"You! You're the little girl my mother kept seeing last summer!" Kay accuses
The girl nodded her head, "Yes, and I'm here to tell you of your destiny. The Standish woman have always had powers, to fight the forces of Darkness."
"What?"
"Your cousin Charity no longer remembers her powers, and because your mother has forgotten you have lost years in fighting the evil. Harmony harbors many evil forces, and now with the Standish women out of commission, the evil has begun to win. For years we have watched you and your sister, and finally the go ahead was given to inform you, you must instruct your sister."
"But she'll think I'm insane!" Kay protested.
"Not if you show her your powers."
"But
how will I . . ."
"Your powers will be there when you awaken, you shall have your full power, and the knowledge in how to use them. You must inform your sister of this soon, for a great battle is approaching. Keep the faith . . ."
The little girl placed her hand on Kay's head, there was a bright flash of light.
** End of Dream **
Kay woke up with a start, "Man, what a weird . . ." suddenly a statue of an Angel across the room started floating, "dream?"
** Continuing from where we left off . . .**
Kay woke up Jessica 30 seconds after seeing the . . . um let's just call her a messenger, shall we?
"Jessica, Jessica! Wake up!"
"What the heck do you want Kay? It's . . . three am, and its Saturday!" Jessica moaned
"Jessica, the little girl Mom kept seeing last summer was just in my dream."
"Kay, don't be mean like that! You know mom was just seeing her because of stress."
"No, she's a messenger. I swear. She told me that she had to tell me about our destiny. That the Standish women have always had supernatural powers to fight evil! And that Charity doesn't remember, and mom doesn't we're years behind in the battle. Apparently, Harmony has a whole mess of bad things and with everyone out of the game, the Evil's begun to win. They have finally given us our powers, and I'm supposed to teach you how."
Jessica could tell her sister was serious, and believed what she was saying, their dad had to know, "Kay, I'm going to go get Dad . . ."
"Jess, you have to believe me. I can prove it. I know how to use our powers, and I have to teach you. This battle between good and evil will be within the year . . . I can feel it."
"Kay, you're really scaring me. I really think I should get Dad." Jessica got up to run out the bedroom door but Kay slammed it shut, from her bed, with just a twitch of her finger.
Jessica slowly turned around and gaped at her.
Kay smirked and blew on her finger, ~ Telekinesis, it's my FAVORITE. Everyone has a 'specialty', I wonder what Jess's is. . . let me think . . . Charity gets premonitions, I can move things with my minds . . .~
"Oh my God! I know what you're thinking!" Jessica suddenly interrupted her thoughts.
"We both can do that, it's a family specialty we got from Mom . . . . Now, let me think the messenger would have told me . . . oh yeah! Now I remember, mind control. You can make people see things that aren't there, or do things against their will, that kind of thing."
~ Hmm, that could be fun . . .~Jessica contemplated, ~ What could I make Kay do. . .~
~ Don't even try it little sister, first of all, I know what your thinking, second of all, mind control is one of the few things you can do on other good witches. ~ Kay warned telepathically.
~ Well that sucks! ~
Kay laughed, and then got serious, "There are rules, we can't use our powers to hurt someone good intentionally, or we might fall to evil. No using it to make teachers give you straight A's, unless they're like doing it just to be cruel. You definitely can't kill anyone intentionally; of course there are exceptions to that rule. If they're evil you can, or trying to kill you . . . or harm you."
"Makes sense."
"And we have to keep this as much of a secret at possible. Charity can't know, Mom's well, I think you know . . . only tell someone if you have to and you know you can trust them. If not, and someone who we can't trust finds out, we'll have to use you to modify their memories."
"Ok, sounds fair."

** The Hospital **
Sam was at the hospital, for a case, and was deep in thought as he walked along the corridor, not paying attention to where he was going. It was only when he smashed into someone he realized it, his hands shot out to grab him or her . . .
Ivy had just finished at the doctor's; who had confirmed that she was in fact pregnant. And at 36 it made her pregnancy a bit of a risk. [yes, I made her younger, but she and James Hyde look way to young to be in their 40's. My parents are in their 40's, given their late 40's, but they don't even look close to as young when they were!] But it was a small once since she'd had children, was in great shape, and very healthy.
She was just leaving the office when someone walked into her, practically knocking her down. Luckily, a pair of strong arms grabbed her before she fell. Seconds later, she realized who's arms they were, she knew the feel of those arms, and the scent . . . Sam.
"Oh I'm so sorry Miss. I wasn't watching where I was . . ." Sam was startled when he caught a glimpse of the face of who he'd walked into . . . and the eyes.
Both Ivy and Sam got lost staring at each other, remembering days gone by, and their last night of passion.
Ivy was the first to recover, catching her breath and willing her heart to beat again, "Sam," she murmured, "What are you doing here?"
"Case." He uttered back, still in a bit of shock of seeing her.
"Then I'll let you get back on it." Then Ivy ran off quickly, not even noticing she'd left behind a few things.
Sam however spotted them, and picked them up, looking through the pamphlets and pictures.
" 'So You're Going To Have Another Baby', 'High Risk Pregnancies' . . . a sonogram. Oh my God, she's pregnant!" His mind flashed briefly back to the night he and Ivy shared, "Oh my God, we didn't use protection! . . .What if . . . nah, it was only one time . . ."
~*~
** Late that night **
Kay and Jessica had just fallen asleep . . .
** Their dream **
Kay looked at Jessica, "Where are we?"
Jessica shrugged, looking down, "I don't know, but these definitely aren't the Pj's we put on when we went to bed."
Kay looked down to see that she and Jessica were both similarly attired in beautiful, long, thin, flowing white gowns that seemed to stream behind them with the force of some unnatural wind with no source.
"Hey, these look like those dresses I saw at that new boutique down the street by the police station . . . maybe we should go there later." Kay suggested
"Good idea."
Suddenly their surroundings started to change. The girls both saw their dad in hideous clothes, like from the 70's, and a younger looking, but even more beautiful, Ivy Crane. They were kissing.
Both girls watched in silence as their father's entire past with Ivy flashed before their eyes.
Some times they were together, sometimes apart, but always pinning for each other when apart. Finally there was a scene that really caught their eye, Ivy with some old guy.
"But Daddy, I love Sam! He makes me happy. I don't want to marry Julian." Ivy protested.
"Listen to me you little whore, you are my daughter, and you will do what I tell you to. If you don't marry Julian Crane and never see Sam Bennett again, I will destroy him, and that thing you carry."
Ivy gasped and her hands flew protectively to her stomach, "Don't you want to me to be happy and in love? I don't love Julian."
"Love has nothing to do with it you trollop. You marrying Julian Crane is a deal I have been working on for months with Alistair, you will marry him, and never mention that fool you had been involved with. And tell Julian that the child is his, and that's final."
Ivy ran from the room sobbing.
Scenes of the aftermath followed, then finally the birth of the baby, it was a boy.
Ivy looked down at her child, "I promise, I won't ever let the Crane family warp you. I will raise you good, truthful, dependable, and honest, just like your father."
More scenes of Ethan growing up and Ivy watching closely, Sam waking up from dreams whispering her name.
~ Oh my god, Dad used to be in LOVE with Ivy Crane! ~ Jessica's mind screamed, ~ And they had a child. ~
~ So I saw, ooh, it's changing again . . . . Oh! Oh! For the love of God, oh, oh, ewww, ewwwwww! Dad's doing her! And ewwwwww, it was recently! Like as in this year! ~ Kay cried out, seeing her father having sex was NOT something she had EVER wanted to see.
The dream changed to the scene at the coffee shop, then Ivy outside crying.
~ Oh my God, they are still in love, you can see it in their eyes and actions. ~ Kay gasped in her mind, and then the dream ended.
** End of dream **
Kay and Jessica both woke up breathless.
~ I can't let it happen again. I won't. Dad and Ivy are obviously supposed to be together. ~ Kay realized, ~ Otherwise we wouldn't have had the dream of both their memories. ~
~ But what about Mom? ~ Jessica questioned.
Kay looked at her sister, and spoke out loud "Jess, Mom and Dad have been drifting apart for awhile now . . . and Mom's changed. It's like she's, obsessed, with Charity now. Do you realize I've had to buy all my own clothes and things for the past YEAR now? Out of my own pocket or I wouldn't have anything. Mom spent all the money that was supposed to be spend on my back to school cloths on Charity, even my car fund, which I had put money in too. The only reason you got new clothes was because you went shopping before Charity came. I heard Mom talking about it with Mrs. Russell one day. She said, 'I wish that I hadn't spent that $100's on Jessica, Charity wants some new shoes.' She has more then you and I put together! I'm sorry she lost her mother and all, but the girl's just so God damn needy, it's scary!"
Jessica knew her sister was telling the truth and sighed, "I know, and Dad's mad at Mom for ignoring you the way she has been. She did let you kind of drop into the background, even before Aunt Faith died in the fire. So how do we get them divorced?"
"That's easy, you just start projecting old pictures of him and Ivy happy into his mind that you remember from the dream, in fact, start right now. While he's asleep, and pictures of Ethan growing up."
"Why Ethan?"
"Weren't you paying attention in the dream? Ethan is Dad's son, not Julian Crane's. I had it figured out when Ivy's dad said, 'Listen to me you little whore, you are my daughter, and you will do what I tell you to. If you don't marry Julian Crane and never see Sam Bennett again, I will destroy him, and that thing you carry.' Don't you get it? Ivy was never able to tell Dad about the baby. She had to pretend it was Julian's, and the only reason she left Dad was because she was afraid for his and Ethan's lives. She gave up her own happiness for them!"
"But should we really interfere?" Jessica questioned worriedly.
"We're not interfering . . . we're just giving them a, small shove in the right direction." Kay rationalized.
"I hope you're right . . ."
