A/N: Hello! Though it isn't in script format this is going to be very movie-ish. In most places at least, I just could see it all play out in my head. So I wrote that out. Please R&R
Chapter 1, Summer Storm
The white door of Laurie Strode's hospital room opened just slightly, Jimmy eyed the young blonde, asleep in her bed and sighed. He left again, silently closed the door and led the Man in Black up the hallway, down a corner and into the nursery, where his 3 hour old daughter slept.
None of the nurses were around, but it wouldn't matter if they were, they'd all been paid to keep this from Laurie. Jimmy went to the pink bundle and lifted her, set her into the Man in Black's arms. The shady figure smiled softly and held her with one arm, dug in his pocket and handed Jimmy a roll of bills, which would be counted out to $15,000. A sum the new father had been unable to resist.
Jimmy shoved it into his pockets, along with his hands and watched the older man walk off with her. Soon the Man in Black had turned a corner, and Jimmy could no longer watch. He sighed and his shoulders sagged with the force, he turned his head and looked at the label on the little plastic crib. LLOYD, JENNIFER D.
(Halloween theme begins as he moves through the hospital to sit with Laurie, once he takes her hand screen goes black again, we hear hysterical screams and crying, and see Laurie hanging onto Jimmy, her doctor and two nurses in the room.)
"It can't be! She was fine, Jimmy she was fine! How? How could she be dead, how?" She bawled into his shirt for a moment then looked up, frightened. "He's got her!"
"Laurie, don't be ridiculous! Michael's been locked up in a coma for a year now!" Jimmy tried to sound soothing.
"Dammit, Jimmy how is she dead? HOW! No, no, my baby, my baby..." She buried her face in the pillow and Jimmy sighed, looked at the doctor who nodded and left with the nurses.
"Baby, I know it hurts I'm sad too. But Doctor Frankfurt says we can have another, real soon. We just have to be strong about this, she was born a month early."
"But healthy Jimmy, they told me right away she looked fine!"
"You can't tell a bad heart by looking at her." He said softly, stroking her hair.
She was stiff then turned and looked up at him. "I wanna see her."
Jimmy shook his head. "No honey, they already took her to the morgue, it's too late."
(Laurie begins to cry again, think when Loomis sees Michael isn't on the ground where he fell, the way she looks. The picture fades to a car pulling up to Smith's Grove.)
The rain pours down onto the man as he gets out of his car and goes to open the backseat, he does so and fumbles a moment, then emerges with a bundle of blankets. He slams the door and runs in so as not to get the newborn sick. He was admitted inside and once in he sighed loudly and made sure the little girl was ok. "Well Jennifer, welcome home."
A nurse came to him and smiled. "Hello doctor Wynn! Everything go ok?"
He grinned. "Just as planned Gertrude, please take Miss Lloyd to her room, I have a meeting in ten minutes."
"Of course." The nurse scooped her up with skill and walked off with her, humming to herself as she did.
Wynn shook off his coat and moved to his office, perfect! It had gone perfectly! Now Laurie Strode's child was here, and would be put to good use. He grinned and changed from the sopping trench-coat into a work jacket. He then slipped from the room and down the hall to the conference room.
Three other doctors were there waiting (one recognized by the audience as the man in charge of Michael before his transfer). Wynn smiled and sat down. "Gentlemen, I understand you all have some questions."
"Yeah, how is Myers niece gonna bring on the end of his curse?"
Wynn chuckled. "Well, once he kills everyone else related to him off, we'll have her impregnated, by Michael of course, and then kill her and his child, as his final sacrifice. He'll have no more bloodline, the curse will pass on."
"I don't get it," the man treating Michael said. "Why bother knocking her up? Just have him kill her!"
"Ah, very good question. But the ritual requires innocent blood, and Miss Lloyd is already not innocent, she is the result of two unmarried people."
"How will it be different with Myers and Lloyd?"
"Oh, we can have a brief little joining ceremony, erase the sin in it."
"But.. But isn't incest sin?"
Wynn smiled wickedly. "Not to the druids."
(Cut to later)
That night, around midnight, Wynn took up the sleeping infant and brought her into the ceremonial room in the dungeons of Smith's Grove. Many men were there, all of which were in black hooded robes. They didn't turn into them as he brought the infant in. Wynn went and set the child on the altar, then moved the blankets from her so her bare belly was revealed.
One man began to chant and several joined him as another man spoke. "And so the prophecy of Bel says, 'The child of Thurisaz shall unite with his own blood, and make her and her child of innocent blood his final sacrifice! The girl will wear the symbol from birth, this is how she shall be identified, and the symbol must be natural, not branded. Only Thurisaz's child's blood can reveal it.'"
The priestlike man went to the baby and dipped his finger in some blood brought by Michael's doctor, then he smeared it against her wrist, and then wiped it back off. They all watched without surprise as a small, inverted isosceles triangle appeared on her wrist. The priest then took up a ceremonial knife with blood on it's tip, and made the symbol on her stomach, then covered her back up, silence went through the room.
Wynn smiled softly and leaned over to Michael's doctor's ear. "Did he notice when you took the blood?"
The doctor grinned. "After I did, I went to change the bandages on his face, he was smiling, he's never smiled before, so he knows."
Wynn smiled more. "He's anxious now."

Little Jennifer watched curiously from Wynn's arms as her newborn sister was marked as she had been. She kept whispering one word questions to Wynn, not quite able to phrase her curiosity so young. He would smile and shush her, tell her to watch. Jamie was brought back to them and so he set Jennifer down and went to receive the child, then he led her back to her room and tucked her in, she was asleep almost immediately.
He then took a fussy Jamie to the wet nurse to be fed, and went to bed himself, two little girls around all the time had worn him out. But it would be worth it, completing his task would be worth it.
Ok, there's the first chapter. You can imagine what Laurie's going through, two girls "dead", but hell, Jimmy's rich at this point.
