American Honey 33
Maxie sat on the bed with a huge grin on her face as she watched Sam pack her suitcase, "I am so happy for you." Maxie grinned as she watched her older sister throw bikinis into the bag, "Do you know where you are going?"
"Jason still isn't telling me a thing." Sam frowned as she turned back to the small closet in the bedroom of the RV, "I do have something I want you to give our parents." Sam added as she pulled out two DVDs and a note, "Just in case." She added as she handed the blonde the note.
"Here are Taken and Taken 2, I will be away for two weeks and if I get kidnaped I want you to follow Liam Neeson's lead and come get me." Maxie read aloud with a huge grin on her face, "Oh, I will go give this to Dad." Maxie laughed.
"Don't laugh at me, it could happen." Sam replied with a frown, "Oh, on the topic I need a camera by the way."
"A camera? Why would I have a camera?" Maxie shrugged as she tried to play innocent.
"I know that Patrick has you on payroll for his YouTube channel." Sam called the blonde's bluff as she sat on the bed next to her sister, "Don't worry, I am in on it too. How do you think he gets videos of Nik."
"Patrick pays me in boots." Maxie smiled, "What do you get?"
"Ray Bans." Sam smiled as she held up her new pair of sunglasses, "Jason doesn't know, so this is between us."
"Of course, Patrick blabbed to Johnny about it. But I was able to convince him that Patrick meant something else."
"It's easy to do that."
"It's the Cassadine way to get men to believe in a new reality, our reality." Maxie grinned as she put a hand over Sam's shoulder.

"So, everyone but Patrick knows that Robin is going to have a baby." Emily summed up as she slid into the table, so she was sitting across from Jason and Johnny who both nodded. "And all this is because of you?" She added as she turned her gaze to her husband.
"Yes." Nikolas frowned.
"You know its times like this that I would ask myself what the honey badger would do." Johnny offered as he grabbed a beer from Nikolas.
"What are you talking about?" Jason asked as he took the spare beer from his brother in law.
"Jason, let's focus on the topic at hand. That one of us is going to become a parent." Johnny dismissed as he took a sip of his beer, "That thought in itself should be scary; I mean look at what we get ourselves into, we really shouldn't be able to have pets."
"I don't think you have to worry about being a parent, Maxie doesn't like pain or messes." Emily explained with a smile as she patted the man's shoulder.
"To be clear, you do know that you can't mention anything to Patrick." Jason ordered as he looked from Johnny to Nikolas.
Both men nodded just as the RV door opened to show Sam and Maxie climbing up the stairs, "I think that Patrick had one in here somewhere." The blonde spoke and came to a sudden stop to see the four in the room, "I though you boys went on a run into town." Maxie wondered as she pushed her sunglasses up.
"We did." Johnny answered as he held up his beer and then patted his lap, "We are talking about the Patrick situation." He added as Maxie came over and plopped down into his lap, "Something we are not allowed to talk about." He added as he watched the blonde's reaction.
Maxie was too busy watching Sam to give her boyfriend an answer, Sam was currently lifting up objects on the counter in an attempt to find what the girls had come for. She stopped for a moment before she looked above the table where the four were seated. She quickly moved over to the table and gripped Jason's shoulder as she climbed up onto the seat.
"What are you doing?" Jason asked as he gripped her waist to keep her steady. Sam just shot him a wink before she stuck her hand into the light and pulled out a small camera.
"I got it." Sam explained as she jumped off the seat and onto the ground. Maxie climbed off Johnny's lap and grabbed the object.
"A camera? Why is there a camera in the light?" Nikolas questioned as he watched his two sisters.
"Patrick likes to hid things so thieves won't find them." Johnny covered as stood up and moved to stand next to the blonde, "What are we doing?" He asked in a hushed voice with a small smile.
"We are going to get bunch of hits." Maxie smiled as she grabbed Johnny's hand and pulled him out of the RV.
"What is going on?" Jason asked as he grabbed the back pocket of Sam's shorts to stop her from following Maxie.
"I signed a contract and can't tell you." Sam answered as she remembered that Patrick made her sign a contract before she agreed to start helping film with the family. It said that she couldn't tell anyone about what they were doing.
"What does this have to do with a contract?" Jason asked as he pulled Sam towards him, "I know how to get what I want from you." He added as he placed a kiss on the back of her neck.
"Nice try." Sam laughed as she pulled away, "You start buying me sunglasses and leather jackets and then we will talk." Sam frowned as she skipped down the stairs to join the couple outside.
"Samantha Morgan." Jason yelled as he followed the woman outside and into the woods.
"It's Samantha Scorpio-Morgan." Sam called back as she linked her arms with Maxie as the three followed the trail that lead to the stream.
"It's Samantha Morgan." Jason argued as he rushed to join the three, "It shows that you are my wife and off limits."

"Why are we in the woods again? The last time I was out here I got stuck." Patrick complained as he sat down on a log.
"That is because you thought that it was a good idea to follow Nikolas into the woods." Robin laughed as she sat down next to him, "I wanted to talk to you and not have any interruptions." Robin smiled as she took his hand.
"Oh, you want to get a little more adventurous in that area. We could join the club."
"The club?" Robin asked not sure she wanted to know the answer.
"You know the club." Patrick repeated as he looked around at the surroundings, "The club Maxie and Johnny joined the night we got stranded."
"Eating a squirrel? Oh no! I did not ask you out her to have sex." Robin exclaimed as she finally understood what Patrick was getting at.
"Then what did you bring me out here for? I haven't done anything wrong, so I know it isn't to kill me."
"I need to talk to you."
"Those words never end well for me." Patrick muttered to himself as he put some space between them.
"I have tried to tell you this a few times and we just seem to always be interrupted." Robin started as she looked down on her lap, "I found something out and am not sure how to bring it up."
"If this is about the filming I can explain." Patrick interrupted.

"Oh my God." Maxie squealed in a low voice as the four were sitting behind a bush watching the couple sitting by the stream, "This is why woman outlive men." She added as looked at her sister.
"You never interrupt a woman when she is about to yell at you, you just sit there and nod." Johnny recited as he felt sorry for his friend, "That way you never give the woman any more ammunition." He added as he made sure the camera was zeroed in on Patrick.
"Please tell me that we haven't been videotaped." Jason begged as he glanced from Johnny to Sam who was in front of him.
"We haven't been videotaped." Sam smiled as she placed a kiss on his cheek and then winked at Maxie.
"Jason, you shouldn't ask questions you don't want the answered too." Maxie added, "Sam isn't allowed to disclose information she signed a contract."
"You do realize any contract Patrick made is not real, he is not a lawyer." Jason dismissed.
"But he is a priest." Sam argued as she turned to her husband, "You don't mess with the contract." Sam added.
"Speaking of contracts." Maxie added, "I made this on the walk here." Maxie added a she pulled out a napkin with some writing, "Remember in the car you promised me your first child." Maxie continued as she glanced at the napkin and then handed it over.
"You promised our child to your sister?" Jason asked amazement in his tone.
"I know that this child." She nodded towards Robin, "Is going to Emily and to be honest I don't want anything that is half Patrick." She shook with fear, "So if I want to get in on this kid thing, I am going to claim yours. So please sign."
Sam looked at Maxie for a second before she took the crayon and signed the napkin. Jason just started at her as she did it, "She had a good argument and Maxie is the best choice to be a godparent."
"Are we really talking about the same Maxie?" Jason asked, "I think Molly is the only one in this family that I would trust with a child. I am not even sure you should be left alone with our child."
"I carry it for nine months, I get fat, I get stretch marks. So I get to do whatever I want." Sam snapped as she stuck out her tongue.
"You are getting this on tape?" Maxie whispered to Johnny who just nodded and moved the camera to face the married couple.

"I meant the video that I made of Nikolas." Patrick answered as he watched her confused face.
"I don't care about that." Robin frowned, "I am talking about us and the future." Robin continued as looked Patrick in the eye.
"Does this have anything to do with why you and Emily have been so buddy buddy?" Patrick asked as his tone grew serious.
"Sort of, I have been nervous about how you would react to this. Mainly because this wasn't part of our plan and it's something that is going to change us forever."
"Not part of our plan? When has anything in our life or in our family gone according to your plan?" Patrick laughed as he reached out to grab Robin's hand, "If everything went the way we planned, none of us would be here right not; Jason and Emily wouldn't have been part of our group, we might not have gotten back together and Maxie might have ended up with the crazy computer guy from high school."
"You might not be feeling that way once I tell you."
"Anything you have to tell me will never change the way I feel about you." Patrick promised, "I am exactly where I want to be and I am not going anywhere."
"Patrick, I am pregnant." Robin confessed.
"Umm okay, oddly that is not the worst thing I thought you were going to say." Patrick sighed as he scratched the back of his neck, "How are you feeling about this?"
"I am freaking out." Robin answered, "Part of me is excited and the other part thinks we are no way ready for this."
"We have a house and jobs." Patrick reasoned as he placed an arm around Robin and pulled her towards his chest, "We also had some practice with the Bacon, and I mean he is a baby and easy to take care of."
"You are comparing our baby to your pet pig?"
"We are going to be the best parents a kid could ever want." Patrick exclaimed as he stood up and dragged Robin up with him. Once they were standing he picked her up and spun her around.
"You are happy?" Robin asked once she was back on her feet.
"Of course, I am." Patrick grinned as he placed a kiss on the top of her head, "We finally get to be the couple to do something first; Maxie and Johnny did it and Nikolas got married." Patrick rattled out as he took her hand and let her back down the path.

The moment that the four had seen Patrick and Robin head back to the camp ground, they had dashed off in an attempt to beat the couple back and had made it just in enough time to sit at the table before they appeared in the clearing. Jason reached over and plucked a leave out of Sam's hair and pulled her into his lap.
"We have something to tell you." Patrick announced as he let go of Robin's hand, "We are going to have a baby." Patrick exclaimed as he looked around to see everyone's reactions.
"That is brand new information." Maxie said weakly as she clapped her hands as Nikolas had a huge grin on his face.
"You are a little late to the party, we all knew before you." Nikolas smirked, "I guess that makes you the wounded gazelle."
