"I want to Divorce my Parents."

May of 2009

Lucky was planning on telling Elizabeth that he couldn't get the boys that evening as he approached the playground area in the park. He had a hot date, a cute little number he had met at Jake's with an Irish accent. Hearing his name being called, he grimaced but turned to talk to Sam McCall.

Looking at her, seeing her too small dress, her four inch heels and overly red lips, he just hid his annoyance. Sam had dumped him in January when she had seen that Jason and Elizabeth were sticking to their no contact rule.

Too bad for her it hadn't meant she was going to ease her way back between Morgan's sheets. Instead the blond man had all but become a recluse. He seemed to only leave his tower for work and to deal with Lucky's cousin and her son.

"Lucky, we need to talk." she said a bit loudly drawing the attention of the little boy hanging off the monkey bars. Cam pouted a bit, he didn't like Ducky's girlfriend, she smelt funny. "We have to discuss Jason."

"What about Jason?" asked Lucky as if he didn't get what her problem was.

"It didn't work. Lucky, I have been over there, trying to soften him up and nothing nodda. Spinelli just told me that Jason said if he lets me in the penthouse one more time he is kicking him out." she whined.

"Sam, what do you think I can do about it?" he asked her.

"Lucky, I think he is secretly seeing Liz, he has to be. Why else would he be turning this down?" she said running her hands down her body. "I mean she doesn't have much but we both know if a man is getting it regularly, he will stay with any skank offering it up. They are lazy."

Lucky found it hard to hide his smirk at what she said. He knew that she thought she was all that but in truth, Sam was nothing much. "Sam, Jason and Elizabeth aren't meeting. Trust me, I am positive."

"We thought that before, remember? Then she told us they were taking that trip to Italy." she reminded him. "Look, aren't you worried, we both know that at some point Jason is going to want to know his sons."

"Shut up." said Lucky looking around to see if anyone was listening. "What do you want the truth to come out?"

"No one can hear us." she said rolling her eyes at his paranoia. "Besides, after all this time, do you really think anyone else will discover that Jason is Cam's dad as well as Jake's. We only found out by accident, so you are worrying over nothing."

The little curly haired boy felt his hands slip off the metal bar as he landed on his knees. Listening to Smelly Sam and Ducky going on and on arguing about her needing to keep her trap shut, he sat there, piecing it together as they kept talking and talking.

"Cam, are you okay?" asked Elizabeth when she saw her son sitting on the soft base under the bar. Kneeling down, she was given a hug then the little boy just stood up and went back to playing.

Sam meanwhile had ended her argument with Lucky when she got a text message from Spinelli with the news that Jason had left the penthouse. Chasing towards the docks, she opened to have an accidental meeting with the man she was determined to get back into her bed.

Elizabeth saw Lucky and greeted her ex, glad he had actually remembered he was supposed to take the boys for the evening. Greeting him, she wasn't happy to have to hash out questions again about Jason nor in such a public spot and she let him know that. Neither of them were aware of Cam once again listening in as they talked.

Furious as Elizabeth once again defended Jason, Lucky started to think that Sam was right and that Jason and she were meeting in secret. Using the boys, he soon had her twisted in knots as he made a spectacle of greeting the boys and reminding them they were supposed to spend the night with him.

Lucky meanwhile in his anger forgot his plans for the night and before he could remember he had gotten the boys bags and had them in the back of his car. It wasn't until he was almost to his house that he remembered he had a hot date.

"Damn." he said then saw Cam frowning and was once again reminded of his father. Damn Jason Morgan and damn Sam for distracting him. Seeing the side street towards his aunt's house, he quickly pulled up in front and said "Let's stop in to see Aunt Bobbie."

Cam looked at the man then back at Jake. He knew exactly what that meant. In spite of telling his mommy that he had grand plans for him and the boys, Ducky was dropping them off at Miss Bobbie's house.

In the Brownstone, Bobbie listened to Lucky's excuse and didn't bothering protesting. Lately whenever it was his turn to keep his sons, he pawned them off on her. She loved having the boys, but she hated how he lied about it to both her and to Elizabeth who had no idea most of the time.

"I see Elizabeth couldn't be bothered to keep her own kids again." sneered Carly as she came in the back door. Telling Morgan to take his bag to his usual room, she poured herself a coffee and began to soften her mother up to keep Morgan. Leticia had the night off and Carly had plans that evening to drag Jason out of his penthouse and didn't intend to change them.

"Carly enough, I don't want to hear it when we both know you are only upset because you think that it means I won't keep Morgan." she snapped.

"Morgan is your grandson, those brats aren't any relation to you." she snapped then realized she had to fix that and hastily added "Well except through Lucky."

"Carly, leave. Morgan will be fine." she said then when her daughter's phone rang and she said brightly as she answered it. "Jason, where are you? Do you have time for dinner?"

The two little boys sitting silently beside each other on the stairs, sighed, looked at one another then Morgan asked if Cam wanted to go to the playroom. Nodding he followed the older boy into the room and they got to hear all of Carly's talk with Jason.

"C'mon, Jason. Just give in." she cajoled. "You know you promised Micheal to always be there for him."

They didn't hear the other end but the next statement caught Cam's attention as Carly said thanks that she knew Michael was the most important person in Jason's life and that she knew he would be able to deal with him.

Bobbie watched her daughter leave without so much as a goodbye to her son and went to check on the children. Cam and Morgan were playing in the playroom she had created while Jake was driving his bright red motorcycle back and forth on the floor.

"Guys, what do you say to chicken nuggets and mac n cheese for dinner?" she offered.

Seeing their enthusiastic grins, she went to cook for them. Morgan saw how quiet Cam was and asked what was going on. "Usually you talk, a lot."

"Who is Michael and what is he to Mr. Jason?" he asked. He figured Morgan would know since his mom sure seemed to.

"Michael is my big brother, he is always in trouble according to Mom but I don't see it. Uncle Jason raised him when he was just a baby before daddy did." he said with a sad sigh. "Mommy says that Uncle Jason loves Michael more than his own life. More than anyone."

"Oh." said the little boy silently. "What about his own kids?"

"I heard Mommy say that Uncle Jason is too busy taking care of us to take care of some kid he didn't want in the first place." said Morgan. "I don't know who the kid is, but Mommy sure hates the kid. She says all sorts of mean things about his mommy."

"Why?" asked Cam.

Morgan climbed up on the sofa and said "Because my Mommy says mean things about everyone. The only person she is nice about is Uncle Jason, she is even mean about daddy."

Cam didn't think the blond woman called Carly was a very nice person but he didn't want to hurt his friend's feelings. Then he sat there and felt sad for his friend when Morgan says. "My Mommy never has time for me, she doesn't do things with me like your Mommy does."

Bobbie who was outside, felt sad for the desolate little boy talking to Cam but that feeling expanded when she heard Cam reply. "My Mommy is great but I heard her saying to Uncle Steven that she wishes my real daddy wasn't who he was. That it is too dangerous for us to be around him."

The red head frowned then took a look at the blond boy with the motorcycle then got her fears confirmed. "I heard Mommy and Ducky talking, Ducky just told Mommy that the no contact rule was to protect us. I just don't know what they are protecting us from."

"I don't know." said Morgan frowning. "We have guards to protect us, I wonder why your daddy doesn't arrange guards if you need to be protected."

"Don't know but I wish he did. I liked my real daddy." said Cam with a sigh. "Ducky Lucky lies to Mommy a lot and is always tell us to lie. He gets mad and doesn't come around if we tell Mommy that we are over here."

"What do you mean?" asked Morgan. "Grandma is nice."

"Every time Ducky is supposed to have us overnight we end up here." said Cam with a shrug. "At least Miss Bobbie feeds us, Ducky gives us pizza all the time. And donuts for breakfast."

Steaming, Bobbie went to call Lucky and give him a piece of her mind then she thought about it and knew that she had to talk to both Elizabeth and Lucky or her nephew would try to squirm out of the trouble he was in.

She missed the rest of the talk and that wasn't good as Cam and Morgan talked until she called them for dinner, discussing the holidays that Jason spent with the Corinthos family, the bbq's, the vacations, even how he got them birthday presents. How Jason spent a lot of time with them, Cam was adding things up and he didn't like what he was hearing.

Mommy had said to Ducky that their real daddy wasn't around because of the danger, yet wasn't it dangerous for him to be around those other kids? And if he really loved them like Mommy had said where was he?

Cam thought about all the things he had heard as he laid in the bunk bed he used at Miss Bobbie's. Finally unable to sleep, he went quietly down the hallway to sit on the stairs and think.

"Cam?" hearing Morgan whispering his name, he turned and went into the older boys room. "Why are you up?"

Sitting down across from Morgan, he unburdened himself. First telling Morgan how he had heard Ducky talking to smelly Sam and how they were saying that his Mommy didn't know that Mr. Jason was his dad. How Mommy did know that Mr Jason was Jake's dad.

"Are you sure that Uncle Jason knows?" asked a surprised Morgan.

"Yeah, I heard them saying he does." he replied resentfully. "Why doesn't he want us?"

"I don't know, but Cam, you should ask him." said Morgan sensibly. "I think he would tell you the truth."

"Nope, he doesn't want us, I don't want him. I don't want any daddy." he said then burst into tears.

Morgan didn't know what to do, he would ask Jax, but Jax had moved out, telling Morgan he was going to be gone for a while but he had promised to be back as soon as the divorce from his mommy was legal.

Then thinking on it, decided to ask his other dad. His real dad. Cam cried himself to sleep and Morgan struggled to lift the younger boy onto his bed. Leaving he went to sleep in the other room so that if Jake woke up he wouldn't be scared as Morgan tried to piece things together in his mind.

Elizabeth had arrived home after her late night shift to listen to the message from Bobbie and drove over to the brownstone and pulled up just as Carly's limo drove off. Knocking on the door, she was let in by a sober Bobbie who decided to keep quiet about what she had overheard until she was sure, she would just deal with the lies Lucky was telling about spending time with his sons.

"Thanks for coming to the back door, there is something I need you to hear." she said as she motioned for Elizabeth to quietly follow her. Hearing Lucky in the living room, talking to the boys, Elizabeth gasped as he cajoled and threatened them into not telling her that he hadn't been with them all night.

Walking into the room, Elizabeth smiled at her boys, hugging them, then suggesting they join Miss Bobbie in the kitchen before closing the doors to the room. "You lousy, piece of crap, you bastard. Telling my sons to lie to me? What the hell do you think you are doing?"

When she got close enough, she smelt the perfume and the beer and said "And for what? You to spend the night out carousing instead of being a dad. What were you thinking Lucky?"

"Look, you don't get to tell me what to I can and cannot do." he sneered. "After all I am the one doing you a favor."

Elizabeth got a good look at the man in front of her, crumbled clothes, red eyes, the stench surrounding him and said "Wrong, I am the mother of those two boys. You came to us, said you would protect them because you loved them. This, this is how you show your love? No, this is at an end. I thought even an absentee father was better than no father at all, but that ends now."

"You can't do that." he said mentally lecturing himself. He had suspected she was seeing Jason, well here was proof, she never stood up to him unless Jason was around. "I will take you to court."

"You do that, Lucky." she sneered. "Telling children to lie, Lucky? Do you really think that you will win?"

"Maybe not, but you will go to jail for perjury." he said smugly. "Or did you forget lying on the stand about Jake's parentage."

"Really, you have proof someplace that the paper I received didn't say you were Jake's father. Because I reran the tests, after the court case. I do have proof that I reran the tests. I can say I told you afterwords." she said calmly.

Seeing him jump a bit, she said "Yes, I covered myself, Lucky. It would be my word against yours and you are a former drug user who lied about being a hero cop."

Lucky stared at her, his mind trying to find a way past thing, then deciding to use Spinelli, he decided to pretend to give her what she wanted and snapped. "Fine, then I won't come around. You can explain how you are keeping me away from my sons to them."

"It's better than them being taught to lie to their mother." she snarled. "Lucky, I will have Diane draw up papers, severing you from their lives."

"Don't bother, I will have Alexis do it." he said intending to stall long enough to prove that she was still around Jason.

"No, I no more trust her than I do her daughter." she replied. "Diane will have them to you by the end of the day, if you don't sign them, I will go to Mac, this is the end, Lucky. I can't deal with you, not anymore. Steven is moving to town, he will be staying with us for a while, your presence is no longer needed."

That relieved him a bit, Elizabeth's brother wouldn't let Jason be around, this meant this sudden backbone would soon be easy to deal with. After all, Audrey was always on his side, her brother would be too.

Seeing his expression, Elizabeth just went to gather her sons and soon had them at home. Steven had returned and was telling her that Alan Quartermaine had hired him to be assistant chief of staff. "I don't think Dr. Drake was too happy with it, but Alan announced it to the staff today."

Seeing how tired Elizabeth was, he sent her to bed then went to keep the boys entertained.

Jason finally located Michael sitting in a treatment room at General Hospital. "Michael, we need to talk."

The sixteen year old looked at his Uncle and said "About what? What imaginary slight did my mom run to you about this time?"

Since the teenager had woken up a month before; his doctors, his family kept blaming his short temper on his surgery but in truth, Michael was feeling confused, like something wasn't right.

That feeling had grown until he had finally discussed it with his counselor and in group. When one of the other kids had felt pity for him, saying that it must be hard, to have two dads then this uncle always sticking his nose in his life, Michael had taken a good look at his past and discovered that they were right.

His Uncle Jason kept acting like HE not his dad, not Jax was the parental figure in his life. While he loved his uncle, he really wished the man would get his own life and stop living as a parent through him.

"Michael, your mother was with you daily, she did everything under the sun to get you well. She was researching treatments, spending eight hours a day with you, talking to you, reading to you." offered Jason.

Frowning, the blond teenager looked at his uncle and said "Wow, I guess you think that means I owe her my life."

Looking relieved he said "No, but Michael you do owe her respect."

"For what? Exactly?" he asked. "For neglecting my brother, for ruining her marriage, though it was a given she would do that, because I am sure that what you forgot to mention out of her daily schedule of sainthood was the part where she was calling you a hundred times a day, where she was showing up to run your life, where she was doing the same for Sonny. No I am not the reason Morgan more than likely spent more time with the nanny than a parent, nor am I the reason her marriage is over. Mom is because she is unable to go about her daily life without sticking her nose in your business."

With that Michael stood and said "But then you have no business. No life. Why else would you keep trying to play dad to me. Funny thing is, Jason. I have a dad, you do remember your best friend, Sonny don't you? Why isn't Mom bothering him if she really thinks there is something wrong. What about Jax, she was still married to him. Why isn't she talking to my step dad?"

Jason started to talk but Michael interrupted and sneered "Never mind, I know why. It's because you have no life, you live vicariously as a dad by interfering with my real parents. Get a life, Uncle Jason. Go get some women pregnant and be a parent to your own kids. Dang, I have more than enough parents, why can't you try being an uncle instead for a change."

Jason flinched as the word echoed through his head. Leaving the hospital after calling Carly and telling her he didn't get through to Michael, he cut through the park only to see his sons with a blond man.

Looking around for Elizabeth, he ducked behind a tree and watched them, his heart aching as he wished it was him they were chasing. When he heard Cam shouting Uncle Steven, he moved on, knowing that he didn't want Cam to see him.

Sam who was stalking Jason, watched with narrowed eyes, she could see the glint in Jason's as he wiped the tears away and vowed she would end this, that she would be back where she belonged soon.

Cam saw the tall blond man crossing through the park, without so much as looking their way then around at the other daddys with their children in the park and his heart hardened just a little bit more.
