Remember: Till death do us part

Vendetta

Shout out to Pacman Fangirl10, Kitty Katz, Chat Noir's twin, Void and Mr. king

James took a deep breath as he leans against the hospital wall, he needed a moment to himself and smoke a cigarette which was a rare thing for him. Men during his time were big smokers but he never took on the habit, he only smoke on rare occasions just like this one. He was too overwhelmed with the recent events, he would have normally rip Danny's head off for having sex and getting his daughter pregnant when they weren't married. But his daughter and Ember have suffered enough and they didn't need him nagging them, he was happy to learn about a child before the doctor finished her sentence.

"Dammit," James threw his cigarette on the ground and step on it with his foot, he breathe out the smoke before he re-entered the hospital. James returned to the waiting room and saw Danny walking out of Ember's room, "Danny?"

"I'm going to kill you, Paulina…," Danny whispered with his eyes turning red. James turn around and placed his hand on Danny's shoulder, he turned his son-law around.

"Hey there," James said moving his hand back.

"I'm sorry…" Danny mumbled looking down

"Why are you sorry?" James asked

"I broke my promise... I couldn't protect Ember" Danny said in a guilty tone

"Danny, you did your best and Ember is still alive," James said placing his hand on Danny's shoulder, "You kept her safe"

"But I couldn't keep my child safe…." Danny said looking away and trying to hold back his tears, "My baby died before Ember could even tell me... It's because of Paulina!"

James felt some darkness from Danny when he mentioned the girl's name, the monster who killed his grandchild, Danny's son or daughter.

"Whatever you do to her…. She delivers it" James said and nodded his head, "Only a heartless monster would kill the innocent"

"I'm going to find her….. and end her…" Danny said clinching his fist, "And then... When Paulina is gone... We can try again whenever Ember is ready"

"Alright," James said and messed Danny's hair, "Son…"

Danny looked up and smiled, he knew James always wanted a son in the family and he never knew why Elizabeth and he never tried for a second child but he was happy to fill the gap.

"The doctor cleared Ember…. I'm going to take her home" Danny said and fixing his hair, "Feel free to pay a visit….. but don't visit Ember too often, she's going to need a lot of time alone"

"I understand," James said looking back at his wife and sister in law, "It's those two I'm going to have trouble holding back"

Danny smiled and waved at James before going back to the room, he walked towards Ember's bed and she hugs herself.

"Come on, Ember," Danny said taking her hand and helping her up, "Let's go home"

"Al…. alright" Ember whispered leaning against his chest

One room down from Ember's

Sam sat up from her hospital bed and couldn't believe her ears. She awoke and found herself in the hospital, the doctor cleared her and she was about to leave when she overheard Ember's family speaking to another doctor. And what she heard almost broke Sam's heart... Something she would have never thought a few years ago. Ember was pregnant with Danny's child and she lost the baby because of Paulina, she always knew Paulina was a monster and a spoiled brat but she never thought... Paulina would actually go this far.

"Oh my.. gosh…" Sam whispered as she covered her mouth with her hand, "What Ember must be going through…."

"And I was a total bitch back then…." Sam walked towards the window and peek outside, she saw the press going crazy. She was used to this whenever Ember or Danny was attacked, the press would always freak out but if they knew Ember was pregnant.

"Maybe…" Sam glanced at her clothes, she walked to her pants and pulled out a piece of paper, "I could call in the favour he owes me…."

Sam took out her cell phone and called the number on the card, she waited as she heard the phone ring before the phone answered.

"Hello?" the voice replied

"I'm cashing in the favour you owe me," Sam said staring at the press who simply waited for Ember to come out.

"What do you want?" the person asked

"I want information on Paulina Sanchez," Sam said moving the curtain and getting her clothes, "I know you're not a fan of her father"

"Done" he replied

"Thank you, Douglas," Sam said before hanging up.

Johnson and research

Douglas smiled and lean against his chair while he looked at some papers, he sighed and took his whisky when he suddenly watched the doors of his office open.

"Douglas," Christopher said walking inside

"And you are?" Douglas asked moving his glass and watching his whisky move around, "Wait… I recognise that voice…"

"Please! I need the money!" Christopher said and throwing a chair across the room. Douglas frowned seeing the chair break one of his vases, he stood up and walked towards Christopher before grabbing his shirt.

"Don't you dare lay your hands on my belongings!" Douglas said coldly before letting go, "You need my money! So I recommend you play nice"

"Fine" Christopher said moving his Douglas' hand. Christopher hated that he had to suck up to his ass, but his mother needed him, she needed the money in order to live. Christopher wasn't going to allow his mother to die! She gave everything she had, she did everything she could in order to keep him happy.

"So…. What is your relationship with Laura?" Douglas asked taking out his checkbook and writing the cheque.

"She's my mother," Christopher said crossing his arms and glaring at some books, "She raised me by herself"

"Mother….." Douglas looked up and noticed how Christopher crossed his arms, similar to himself even his stare was similar to his own.

"Laura took a year off…." Douglas lowered his pen and stared at this young man, "No"

"I see," Douglas said while he rips the cheque out, "What about your father?"

"Some dead beat," Christopher said taking the cheque and safely putting it in his pocket, "He knocked my mom up twenty-five years ago and left her"

"Twenty-five years…" Douglas nodded and watched Christopher leave, he immediately noticed how Christopher walked just like him... He even had a similar attitude he used to have when he was younger.

"No… there no way…." Douglas went to his phone and dialled his lawyer's number, "Come to my office right now!"

Glitter's home

Glitter was at home and cleaning the broken plates from her latest tantrum, she was a bit she had to buy new ones but it was worth it. She couldn't believe her daughter was dating some loser! She didn't know where she went wrong with Star, she couldn't understand why her little girl would throw away her life away by settling for an undesirable man.

"I'll be there in an hour, Andy," Star said opening the door and walking to her room. Glitter stop and drop the broom, she quickly stops her daughter by pulling her arm.

"Where have you been?!" Glitter shouted gripping her daughter's arm.

"None of your business!" Star shouted and pushing her mother back.

"Star answer me, what are you doing?!" Glitter demanded crossing her arms in a fit.

"I'm moving out," Star said walking towards her room and taking a suitcase. Glitter's eyes widen, she quickly followed her daughter to her room.

"What?!" Glitter asked in shocked. Star had only been home for a few months after she graduated from college and Glitter was very happy to have her home. She thought her little girl would be married to Danny in a month, she would be rich once more all thanks to her daughter.

"Are you deaf?!" Star shouted taking the essentials and personal items, "I'm moving out! Andy has a nice apartment!"

"I won't allow it" Glitter growled and gripping Star's arm once more, "You're not going to throw your life away!"

"I'm 23 years old, mom! I can do whatever I want!" Star said coldly and moving her mother's hand, "And don't you dare come and looking for me! Andy said he would call the cops on you!"

"He is not Lockwood husband material" Glitter insisted and getting angrier, "He's a loser!"

"Andy isn't a loser, mom! I want to be with him and he loves me for me!" Star shouted and taking a few books, "Andy is waiting for me outside! If I don't come out in a few minutes he'll come looking for me! And believe me... You don't want to piss him off! He already hates you!"

"If you step out that door…. you are no longer my daughter" Glitter threatened, Star paused for a moment and looked back. A part of her wanted to stay but she only had to remember the times her mother used her, the numerous times her mother didn't show any love towards her.

"Fine!" Star said walking out. Star might have taken twenty-three years to realise this, but she finally saw that her mother had no love towards her… her mother… no…. Greta Lockwood was a selfish woman and only loved herself.

Josh's apartment

Josh placed down the groceries down and sighed in annoyance, he wasn't in his glory days anymore. He was a middle-aged old man, his hair was grey and was thinning out, he knew he was going to lose his hair in a few years. He was no longer in his physical peak but just some slightly over weighted loser who couldn't keep a job.

"Dammit… Douglas kept me late again" Josh mumbled glance at the clock. He hated that he had to work for Douglas but he needed the money, he needed to give his ex-child support for his little girl, Star. The only thing good that came out from that relationship with Glitter, she was daddy's little girl after all and he wanted to spoil her has much as he could.

"Daddy!" Josh smiled and walked towards the front door, he rarely saw Star since Glitter didn't allow him to see his daughter often. Josh took months on convincing Glitter to allow him to see his daughter on his day off, which Douglas was forced to give or would be in trouble with the government.

"Star," Josh said opening the door and hugging his little girl, "I thought we were supposed to see each other tomorrow?"

"I know…. but I had to escape from mom" Star said while she walked in.

"Oh no… what did she do now?" Josh asked fixing some pillows and motioned Star to sit down. Star took a deep breath before she told her father about her mother, about Andy and what her mother tried to force her to do. Josh was angered by this; he couldn't believe Glitter would go so far to prostitute her own daughter! But he shouldn't be surprised, he knew first hand how Glitter was and this was definitely something she would do. He knew she never gave up on Danny, even after they had Star, it was one of the reasons they split, that and his bad luck with jobs, but he hated being with a woman that didn't give a damn about him and only cared about his child support payments.

"I'm sorry, princess," Josh said sighing and getting a few drinks, "But you know how your mother is"

"I know… it's just…." Star mumbled and saw a glass of hot chocolate with whipping cream on top, which was top with chocolate syrup on top. Star smiled at the hot chocolate, she could remember when her father made this for her when her family was still 'intact.'

"Let's stop talking about your mother," Douglas said drinking his own hot chocolate, "Is there anything new about you?"

"Well... Mom is angry because I met a guy" Star said taking her hot cocoa, "She think he isn't Lockwood material, or worthy of a husband for me"

"A boyfriend? Well, it seems I have to give the dad talk!" Josh said raising a brow

"Don't! Daddy! He's a really good guy! Super nice, he's funny, handsome and hard working!" Star said taking a sip of her hot cocoa, "Basically everything mom hates"

"What's this boy name?" Josh asked

"Andrew but I call him Andy," Star said whipping some whipping cream from her nose, "You would like him"

"Then I'll have to meet him one day," Josh said

Amity Park's arena

"I'm going to fucking kill you!" Danny shouted standing in front of Paulina, who simply had a smile on her face.

"Oh… is that so?" Paulina said raising a brow

"I don't care it took me two days to find you! I'm going to rip your head off!" Danny shouted with his eyes glowing.

"Your anger is blocking yours reflects," Paulina said quickly disappearing. Danny quickly turned around and searched for Paulina, he turned around slightly when he felt something sharp go through his chest. Danny looked down and saw a sword shape blade, Paulina smiled as she removed the weird sword.

"Hm… a clone" Paulina said looking around in the search of the real one, "I can sense the fakes, baby! I won't kill you… you will be mine with the help of this!"

Paulina opened her hand and had a strange device appear; Danny lean against a wall and stared at the strange box, he squinted his eyes and saw a red gem at the centre.

"You can thank Freakshow for the gem!" Paulina shouted and turned on the device. Paulina spent five years researching her beloved Danny, she knew every single one of his powers and read about his past. She was especially interested in a certain human… a human who was able to control ghost by using a certain gem. Paulina spent a small fortune in order to acquire the only shard from the gem after Danny had defeated him, she later paid some nerds to make her this beautiful weapon of hers. She knew Danny wouldn't leave Ember willing….. so she had to convince him otherwise.
