'Family Fun Day Interrupted'
***The Next Day***
(It is the early afternoon and Cameron is finally released. To say that the eight-year-old was excited was an understatement. He has wanted to go home for the last day and a half. He was definitely ready. He was pleasantly surprised that Jason was coming with. The way his mother and Jason held hands and smiled at each other, Cameron was really hoping they were back together. He always considered Jason his dad. Even though Jason didn't live with them, he always made sure Cameron had everything he needed. Cameron would make sure his mom and Jason were officially together)
Cameron: "Is Jason coming home with us, too?"
Liz: (smiles) "Yes, he is. I don't know about you, sweetie, but I think it was a long time coming."
Cameron: (nods) "It definitely was." (smiles) "I like Jason. Is he going to officially be my dad now, too?"
(Jason and Elizabeth look at each other nervously before facing the 8-year-old)
Liz: "Is that what you want, honey?"
Jason: "Do you want me to officially be your dad?"
Cameron: (nods) "I have wanted it for a long time. I do love Lucky as my dad, too. But, Jason is around more. Jason, you take care of us. I really like you, Jason. You always protect us."
Jason: "You know I will continue to protect you, your brother, and your mother, too, right?"
Cameron: (nods) "Yes. I'm glad." (smiles) "I love you, daddy."
(Cameron hugs Jason's stomach being he wasn't tall enough to wrap his arms around Jason's shoulders. Jason bends down to his knees so he and Cameron have a father/son embrace. Jason and Cameron close their eyes to feel the other's warmth)
(Jason couldn't help but get teary eyed when Cameron said those words. Truth is, Jason has longed to hear them. He always considered Cameron and Aiden his sons, even though they're not his biologically. Jake was his biologically, but sadly, he passed away when Luke drunkenly hit him. Jason has never forgiven Luke for that. Jason comes back to the current moment)
Jason: "I love you, too, son."
(Elizabeth couldn't help but smile happily at the exchange between her soul-mate and her son)
Liz: "So, what should we do today? Kids choice. Jason and I talked earlier and we want this to be your day today."
Cameron: (smiles) "Video games and board games."
Aiden: "I'm not good at video games, but I like board games."
Jason: (chuckles) "You're still young, buddy. You'll get there. You can watch and help me out if you want?"
Aiden: (nods) "Okay. Then pretty soon, maybe I can beat Cameron."
Cameron: (smirks) "Not a chance."
Aiden: "Then after the video games, we can play 'Trouble'. I always liked that game."
Liz: (smiles) "Sounds like the perfect day, my men."
(Jason, Aiden, and Cameron went up to Cameron's room and had fun with the video games. Cameron couldn't help but cheer proudly when he was winning. However, Aiden smiles proudly when he helped Jason score points. Elizabeth looked on in satisfaction that the day was going great)
(After the video games were done, everyone went downstairs to the living room to set up the board game. Cameron couldn't help but grumble a few times when he was losing to Aiden. However, everyone had fun and cheered the other on. Jason and Elizabeth smiles in gratitude that this day couldn't get any better)
(After the board games were done, Cameron and Aiden decided to play outside. Aiden didn't stay outside very long, though. He wanted to read his new book that Jason bought him. His favorite book series…Berenstain Bears. Aiden was happy Jason remembered. Jason chuckles and told the tyke to thank his mother as she told him which one to get)
(Elizabeth had the great idea that since Jason bought it, if he wanted to read it with Aiden, he could. Both father and son liked the idea. Aiden and Jason then thought it'd be nice to have Elizabeth with them so they could read it as a family. Elizabeth reminded her first-born to stay in the yard as she wanted him safe. Cameron nodded in response. Nothing happened in the last day, so he thought he was okay)
Jason: (grins) "Being you're a fan of the book series, Aiden, now I know what to get you for presents."
Liz: (raises her eyebrows) "Yeah and spoil him rotten."
Aiden: (smile widens) "That's okay! I love presents!"
(Both Jason and Elizabeth laugh in response. As Cameron walked outside to play, Jason and Elizabeth read with Aiden)
(As Cameron was playing basketball in the driveway, he couldn't help but feel like he was being watched. He occasionally looked around, but no one appeared. He shrugs and continued to shoot hoops. He is caught off-guard when, as he's about to shoot the basketball in the air, someone grabs him! He is unable to scream as his mouth is covered. He didn't know what was going on. They drag him away from the front door in hopes that no one will hear him)
Woman's voice: (evilly) "It's time for you to go away, you little brat."
(Cameron is finally able to talk when she moves her hands away from his mouth)
Cameron: "You will never get away with this! My mom and dad will catch you, Carly!"
Carly: "Ugh! They've tried many times, but they've always failed. Now quit squirming so you can pay, you little shit!"
Cameron: "I won't let you! You won't win!"
(Carly takes out the needle from her coat. She wanted to inject him in the arm, but due to him having his coat on, she couldn't as it was a layered jacket. So, she settled for the next best thing…his neck. She knew with his squirming that she didn't have long. What she didn't predict was, Cameron shouting at the top of his lungs)
Cameron: "MOM! DAD! HELP! HELP ME!'
(Cameron didn't know if he was being heard, so he shouted as loud as he could)
Cameron: "MOM! DAD! HELP!"
(From inside the house, Jason and Elizabeth hear a faint yelling. The couple face each other in horror as they wondered if it was Cameron)
Jason: (serious tone) "Stay here with Aiden. I'm going to check on Cameron."
(As Jason runs outside, Elizabeth tells him to be careful)
Jason: (shouts) "CAMERON! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
(Jason turns his head a bit to see Cameron roughly in Carly's arms by the trees near the driveway. Jason runs to them)
Jason: (yells) "GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU BITCH!"
Cameron: "Jason!"
(Cameron tries to get out of Carly's grasp, but the blonde was too strong)
Carly: "Your 'son' as you like to call him knows too much."
(Jason sees the needle near Cameron's neck and curses under his breath)
Jason: "Please, Carly, let him go."
(Jason knew that by the time he reached Cameron, she'd inject him with whatever was in the syringe. So, he had to keep his cool)
Carly: (shakes her head) "No, he knows too much."
Jason: (confused) "About the curse on Port Charles? Carly, everyone knows about it now. It's not a secret."
Carly: "It was supposed to be. Now, thanks to Spencer and this dipshit here, it won't be." (to Cameron)
"Are you finally ready to get what you deserve?"
Jason: "Cameron, remember that little trick I showed you when someone has you roughly in their arms?"
(Cameron nods as he smiles in response. He bites down as hard as he could on Carly's hand that was just under his neck. He didn't know how well he bit her being he had to move his head down a bit. He must have gotten her good when she screamed in pain and Jason ran to grab Cameron. Before Jason could knock Carly unconscious, she runs away. Jason looks at his son in horror)
Jason: "You okay? Did she hurt you?"
Cameron: (shakes his head) "No, you came just in time."
Jason: "That's it. I'm putting a stop to this."
(Jason takes his cell phone out of his pants pocket and dials a number. When the person on the other line answers, Jason speaks)
Jason: "Max, I need you to come to Elizabeth's house. We need to talk."
(After Jason hangs up the phone, he faces Cameron)
Jason: "How much do you know about the curse?"
Cameron: (nods) "More than what anyone thinks. The Evil Queen has tried to shut me up many times."
Jason: (shakes his head) "She won't be successful. I take it Carly is the Evil Queen?"
Cameron: (nods) "Yes. Mommy is Snow White. You are Prince Charming, Sam is Maid Marion and Robin Hood."
Jason: "Okay, once Max gets here, we're going to get everyone together and sort this out."
Cameron: (wide-eyed) "Please, don't bring Nikolas here. He's evil."
Jason: "Don't worry, buddy, I won't bring Nikolas. He needs to be dealt with, but I will take care of him later."
(Jason takes Cameron in his arms and sighs deeply)
Jason: "I thought I lost you forever."
Cameron: "I screamed as loud as I could. I guess it worked."
(They both smile at Cameron's comment. They go back inside the house and wait for Max's arrival)
***Cassadine Island***
(Nikolas was surprised to see his brother at the front door. After letting the former detective in, they walk to the living room before getting down to business)
Nikolas: "So, are you here to bring me to Jason?"
Lucky: "No. I'm here to get to the bottom of things."
Nikolas: (nods) "Alright. I'll start. What do you know about the so-called curse."
Lucky: (tilts his head) "You would know as you, Carly, and Helena are in cahoots. Tell me something, brother. What do you have to gain from joining Carly and Helena?"
Nikolas: "I finally got Emily back after all this time." (nods slowly) "And very soon, we'll have what we should have had all along."
(Lucky looks at his older brother in confusion. What the hell was he talking about? What will Nikolas and Emily get that they've always wanted? Lucky knew he needed to find out)
Lucky: "I-I don't understand, Nik. What do you mean? I want to help you, but I can't if you don't let me."
Nikolas: (shakes his head) "You can't help me, Lucky. I'm in too deep. You need to stay out of it for your own protection."
Lucky: (sighs) "Nikolas."
(Nikolas was getting frustrated with Lucky's endless talk about helping him when Nikolas made it clear he couldn't. Nikolas decides a warning is next)
Nikolas: "Stay out of my business, Lucky. I won't ask you again. Stay the hell out of it."
(Lucky is stunned by the tone of Nikolas' voice! Lucky guessed that Nikolas must be in deep if he's issuing threats)
***Anthony Zacchara's Mansion***
Paul: "Glad we could meet."
Anthony: "I figured here was better so we weren't caught."
Paul: (angrily) "That bitch escaped. That sanitarium is a maximum-security place. I don't know how she pulled it off."
Anthony: (shrugs) "Don't you have security guards?"
Paul: "Yes. I just never thought she'd be able to escape. I will find whoever was involved or let her slip."
Anthony: "We need to take her back to the sanitarium. I don't trust her not to say what she knows."
Paul: "I wouldn't be surprised if she already told the police. Or, at the very least, Morgan and Cassadine."
Anthony: "Knowing little Miss Sunshine. She spilled the beans." (through gritted teeth) "She didn't want my son, so she must pay. Johnny loves with all of his heart. He didn't deserve that she loved someone else."
Paul: (smirks) "I take it Johnny is a hopeless romantic."
Anthony: "I don't care what the hell he is. If Johnny can't have her, then neither should Cassadine."
Paul: (nods) "You know why she can never know the truth."
Anthony: "She was dead by the time you came. Magic brought her back to life. She knows too much."
Paul: "Yes, she does. She lost her memory for awhile after she woke up. She showed no signs of her memory being returned. What Miss Quartermaine doesn't know is I was planning on releasing her. As long as her memory stayed gone, she wasn't a risk. That plan changed when her memory miraculously returned and she was fighting to get back with her family. Now, she needs to stay gone."
Anthony: "Agreed. If my son can't be happy with her, she doesn't deserve happiness."
Paul: (nods) "Now, onto the next stage of the plan."
***Emily's Hospital Room***
Monica: "Imagine my shock when Jason not only told me that you were actually alive, but that you were being held at the sanitarium outside of Port Charles."
Alan: "I can't believe it, either. Our Emily is back."
Emily: (smiles) "I missed you guys, too, more than you know."
Monica: (trying to understand) "So, let me make sure I got this straight. Johnny Zacchara had a thing for you, which Anthony knew about. Anthony wanted his son to be happy, so he approached you. When you gently told him that you didn't reciprocate his feelings, Anthony fell off the deep end because you are in love with Nikolas. Also, Paul was a gambler, which you accidentally found out. You offered to get him help in the end, but he told you to mind your own business. Needless to say, I was shocked when he asked to borrow a million dollars. He's a lawyer, so he had money."
Alan: "Then again, with all of his spending habits, that's probably why he was broke."
Monica: "He shouldn't have put you in the middle or worse, faking your death with Anthony Zacchara. I will be contacting the police so he spends the rest of his life behind bars."
Alan: "How did Paul resurrect you?"
Emily: "Here's where it also gets interesting. There's a curse on Port Charles. Paul used magic to bring me back to life. Elizabeth's son, Cameron, tried warning everyone, but sadly, no one believed him until it was too late. Sadly, Nikolas seems to be involved in this whole mess in some way. I wish he wasn't. Carly got a hold of him somehow." (scoffs) "That bitch needs to be taught a lesson. Put me in a room alone with her for five minutes. She'll know the meaning of the word 'revenge'."
Monica: (raises her eyebrows) "Knowing you, my dearie, I don't doubt that you can kick her ass."
(Emily smiles in delight at her mother's comment. Being she was a lot stronger now, she was fully capable of protecting herself. Monica, Alan, and Emily lovingly embrace each other. After a few moments, Monica speaks)
Monica: "So, what happens now."
Emily: (raises her eyebrows) "Now? All hell will break loose."
