Chapter 9

Johnny was walking around the Archive in a nice suit. He wasn't sure how he was in the archive when he out on a suit but he didn't seem to question it. He suddenly saw a door that he's certain looked different before. He enters the room and the inside of the room looked like it had gotten a very feminine touch to it. Then he notices a picture frame on bedside table. The picture inside was of him, Cameron and a woman with dark curly hair and blue eyes just like them, "This is impossible..." He whispered. He picked up the frame, "This shouldn't exist." He ran a hand over the picture, "This couldn't be here."

"Really?" A soft feminine voice asked, "I move out just a month ago and you can't even recognize my room anymore?" She giggled, "It's like you never paid attention."

It was the young woman in the photo. She was wearing a long white gown and had her curly hair styled into a princess bun with a veil tied into it. There was no doubt about it; it was Fiona, "Fiona... w-what are you doing here? How are you here?"

"I was just looking for a place to calm down, I'm a little nervous about tonight."

Jonathan looked confused, "Tonight?"

"My wedding. Remember? You and Cameron are giving me away."

"Who are you marrying again?"

Fiona rolled her eyes, "Johnny..."

Jonathan smiled, truly unsure what was going on, "Humour me... sis."

"I'm marrying Shawn Blanc, remember? Sweet guy... you, Cam, Jordan, and Gunter almost scared him off when I brought him home to meet you guys."

Johnny gave a nervous chuckle, "Right, that's right..."

Fiona took his hand, "Wanna practice the brother/sister dance?" Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows, "Remember, I take turns dancing with you and Cam because I can't have a father/daughter dance?"

"Right of course." They start practicing their dance, "You look beautiful Fifi, Shawn's a lucky man." He hugged his little sister, "This is everything I could have hoped for you, baby sister."

Fiona pulled away from his hug and smiled, "Me too... it's a shame I never got it."

"What are you talking about?"

She squeezed his hands, "I'm not really here. I've never been here. I never even knew we had a family archive. I should have but I didn't... all for one reason." She let go of his hands and took a step back, "You failed me..." Suddenly thunder struck and the room suddenly became empty and then came a flash of lightning. One second Fiona was in a wedding dress, the next, there was a bullet hole in her forehead, her hair was down and messy, and her dress had been turned to a blooded white dress. The wind started to pick up astound them and Farrah was violently lifted up to the sky as the window flew open. Fiona grabbed Jonathan's hand as he used both of his and gripped onto her for dear life, "Goodbye Johnny!" She shouted.

He tried to hold on to her, "Fiona, I'm sorry, I'll save you!"

She also tried to hold on, "No! You can't save me, you failed me! There's nothing you can do!"

The wind was pulling Fiona away and Johnny was losing his grip, "No Fiona!"

She looked him in the eyes and whispered, "Don't fail my daughter..."

She let go of her brother as the wind took her away, "Fiona!" He ran to the window to see where she was taken but she was gone.

All that remained was whispers of her last words to him, "Don't fail my daughter..." "Don't fail my daughter..."

That's when Johnny's eyes flew open. He saw Cameron looking over him with worry, "Johnny, are you okay?" Jonathan's voice was caught in his throat, "You were having a nightmare weren't you?"

Jonathan cleared his throat, "Y-yeah..."

"You wanna talk about it?"

Johnny shook his head, "No... not now anyway..." He then noticed Fiona and Shawn's frozen faces on the laptop screen, "Farrah's sleeping okay?"

"Well, she hasn't woken up or made many fussing noises so I think so." Then almost as if on cue Farrah started to cry... very loudly. Both brothers jumped to their feet and ran to her. Farrah was lying in her crib, kicking and screaming, she must have woken up and noticed that nobody was in the room with her. Cameron tried to pick her up but she just kept kicking and crying, "Maybe she's hungry. I'll go get her a bottle."

Cameron left the room, leaving Johnny with the crying baby. Farrah opened her eyes and lifted her arms up as tears continued to roll down her tiny face. Johnny looked unsure, "Hey kid, you know I'm not Uncle Cameron right?" Farrah kept waving her little arms in the air wanting Jonathan to pick her up. Jonathan sighed, "Okay, but I warn you, I'm probably not good at this." He held the little girl in his arms as she looked at him with wide eyes as remaining tears were slowly streaming down her face as she started to calm down. Johnny let out a small chuckle, "You're not so bad... you just wanted some attention didn't you?" Farrah smiles at him and placed her hand on his cheeks, "Yeah, you were just lonely... I get that."

"Found the bottle!" Cameron said as he came back into the room, "Oh, looks like you've calmed her down."

"Uh yeah, I guess. She's actually a pretty decent kid."

"She definitely doesn't get that from us." Cameron joked then his face twisted, "Johnny, you smell that right?"

Johnny also grimaced, "Oh yeah. Someone needs a diaper change." Farrah giggled as he held her at arm's length.

Cameron put down the bottle and took her from his brother, "I got it. Come here little fairy."

"I stand by my words; she's still a sack of pudding." Cameron rolled his eyes as he placed Farrah on the changing looked on as Cameron seemed to change her diaper with nary a problem, "How'd you-"

"Kay showed me how. She's actually really good with kids."

"Huh."

An awkward silence filled the room as Cameron finished changing Farrah's diaper and picked the little girl back up who now seemed to be energetic and wide awake. Cameron finally spoke up, "Jonathan. I have to ask... why did you do it?"

Johnny sighed, "I... I know it sounds crazy but... I did it for you... Okay, I did a little bit of it for me but it was also about you."

Cameron furrowed his brows, "Explain... because for once, I don't follow."

"When you said that you were going to break me out and we were going to escape together, I was actually for it until I thought of something." He looked away for a moment then looked back at his brother, "I started to suspect that your emotions were taking over and you weren't thinking straight. You didn't even mention our team and then when you told me that you were done with Kay... that just confirmed my suspicions."

"Wha-Kay?"

"Yeah, because I know you Cam. You don't let people in so easy but Kay? You let her into your life," He snapped his fingers, "Just like that. So... I don't know..." He rolled his eyes, "I didn't want you to lose her."

Cameron was silent for a moment then he went up and hugged his brother, "Thank you so much... for proving me wrong."

"Proving you wrong?" Jonathan asked as he hugged brother back, being careful not to crush Farrah who was still in Cam's arms.

Cam took a deep breath, "You don't hate me."

"Cameron, know this. You're my brother, you might drive me crazy and you might be a pain in the-" Remembers Farrah is present, "Butt, but you're brother, my twin, the half I'll never be but the one I'll always need. I'm sorry."

"Same here... I forgive you."

"But I don't know if I should stay here... you're essentially harbouring a fugitive."

They pulled back from their long-awaited hug, "Don't forget, we have Kay on our side."

"But it puts her job in jeopardy with each passing day. Does the team even know I'm here and if and when they do... will they be as willing to forgive me like you?"

"They will eventually... when we tell them."

Suddenly the front door knocked, "You expecting someone at..." Check his watch, "Two in the morning?"

"No..." He held Farrah a little tight and placed a hand on the back of her head to keep her close.

"I'll go check it out." Johnny assured, he went to the door, leaving Cameron in the room. After a few minutes, Jonathan came back in looking as pale as a ghost holding a small parchment, "Cam... call Kay."

"W-why?" Cameron asked him.

Jonathan showed him the parchment which caused Cam's blood to run cold. On it was written;

Cute baby, gentlemen. She definitely has your smiles. I'd keep her close from now on. Lest she end up like her parents.

-An old friend

Dun. Dun! DUUN! Brothers are bonding again but what will happen now? Who sent the note? Who killed Fiona and Shawn? Will Johnny be able to stay out of jail? Will Kay be able to help? Will I finish this story soon? Only time will tell...

Also yes, that dream sequence was heavily inspired by a dream sequence from Once Upon a Time... it just fit so well!
