Jason jumped in the driver's seat with Sam beside him. They drove over the Quartermaine's house and it was late so there was hardly anyone on the road. "I hope Danny is okay," Sam said worriedly. "He never has nightmares and he's not one to make stuff up. He loves staying at the Quartermaine's I wonder what has him so freaked out."
"He's fine Sam," Jason said soothingly. "He probably had too much sugar before bed. Sugar can do crazy things to people," Jason said jokingly as Sam playfully swatted as his arm.
Sam was the first one to the door with Jason right behind her. She didn't even bother knocking, but turned the knob and walked off towards Danny's room. A door opened to the right of Sam and Monica appeared in the hallway holding a very upset Danny in her arms.
"He wouldn't calm down, he just kept asking for you. Whatever he dreamed about must have had him really spooked," Monica said as she handed Danny to Sam. Sam took him immediately from Monica and walked towards Danny's room, rubbing his back and whispering softly in his ear.
"Jason, I just wanted to say I am so sorry for Elizabeth did to you. I have known her for a very long time; in fact she was best friends with your sister Emily. I never imagined she was capable of anything like this and I don't think I will ever be able to forgive her for keeping you from us, or keeping you from yourself. For what it's worth though, I always thought you and Sam were made for each other." Monica kissed Jason on the cheek and headed off towards Danny's room to see if he had calmed down.
Before she could get very far Jason grabbed her arm and pulled her in for a hug. "Thank you, Mom. Your support means everything, and I can tell that Sam had made sure Danny has a very close relationship with the Quartermaine's. I am so grateful that you were here for him while I wasn't. I may not remember you, but I can tell that you love me and you love my son. Hopefully one day I can remember just how much."
Monica turned away from Jason with tears streaming down her face. "Go check on Danny, I'll be right back." She headed towards her room hastily trying to dry the tears that were falling down her cheeks. Jason shook his head, a bit perplexed and then headed towards Danny's room. As he reached the doorway and took a look around he was hit with another memory.
Jason was angry, so angry all the time and his family just couldn't understand that he was no longer Jason Quartermaine. His room had been trashed and he did not want to live here any longer. Jason took his bike and rode it right through the house; proving the point to his family that he didn't want them or need them anymore.
As he was coming out of his reverie he saw Monica walking towards him and embraced her once again. "I'm sorry for all the pain that I caused you. I should have been a better son and more understanding towards this family."
Monica was very taken aback and took Jason's face in her hands. "Jason, what did you remember?" "I remember trashing my room and riding my bike through this house, wanting to be free of this house and the people in it. I felt so angry but I can't remember why. The memory was sort of fragmented, but it was enough for me to see that I was not very good to you in the past." Jason had a look of shame on his face as he stared at his mother.
"Oh Jason we all made mistakes. We were not able to accept that you were a different person, and the more we tried to control you the worse we made it. I have learned from the past and I know that you can't be pushed this time around either. You need to figure out your life on your own. Please don't dwell on the past, I am just so happy that you are here with us now." Jason smiled at his mother and glanced into Danny's bedroom where he saw one of the most beautiful pictures laid out before him. Sam was sitting in the rocking chair holding Danny against her chest, and they were both peacefully sleeping.
"I guess he just needed his mommy," Monica sighed contentedly. "Sam and Danny have an amazing bond with one another. It's beautiful to watch."
" I could tell before I knew I was Jason that Sam was an amazing mother. Now I get to watch her be an amazing mother to our son. I better get them home. Thanks for the talk Mom. I will be coming back to visit soon."
As Jason reached over to gently wake Sam something caught his attention. The screen on the window was out of place. Jason went over to inspect it further and he saw that someone had moved it. Jason watched Danny sleeping peacefully in his mothers arms, thankful nothing had happened to him. Monica noticed Jason's whole attitude change.
"What's wrong Jason?"
"Danny wasn't having a nightmare. The screen on this window is out of place. Someone moved it. Someone was in this room with Danny tonight, and we need to find out who."
