Thanks for the chapters CentralTexGirl. Loving this story more and more. Just loved how EJ says he did not rape Sami that she agreed to it. Looking foreward to the next chapter. I just love A Christmas Carol and The Writer's Bench versions are the best.
 
My sincere apologies for being so late with today's chapter. Bit of a morning and afternoon. SIGH. Sometimes I wish my life were as simple as those on Days of Our Lives. Wait, what? *SLAP* What was I saying? Ha! Nothing simple about our citizens of Salem, huh? Oh well. As they say...ON WITH THE SHOW!!! Enjoy, and have a wonderful weekend!


Fast forward a few years, as Zack escorts EJ on thru other scenes in his life...Sami keeping his child from him, when she thought Grace were her own daughter, having Philip beaten up, having Stephanie locked up, and finally... Grace’s passing. They linger at the cemetery, for Zack has received a special request from his boss…

EJ: Why are we still here? Grace wasn’t mine. Sure, she was my half-niece. But what does that matter now?
Zack: Because. It IS important. I ask you to trust me.
EJ: Why the bloody devil not? All you’ve shown me so far is what a bad, bad, boy I’ve been. So what? Trying to tell me all these things I’ve done should make me feel remorseful? Well, it does NOT. Hear me? I don’t give a care about any of this. Sami deserved everything I dished out. Period.
Zack: You are one stubborn mule aren’t you? Well. YOU are not as clever as you think you are, Elvis. Learn you must. Trust in the force, young Skywalker.
EJ: Pardon?
Zack: Sorry. Starting talking like Yoda there for a minute.
EJ: Hmm. I do rather favor Luke Skywalker.
Zack: Hmph!! Hardly. More like Darth Vadar. (shakes his head) Nevermind all that. Please trust me. Someone else has something they would like to say to you.

EJ and Zack are standing the midst of the Salem cemetery, as Sami and Rafe are saying goodbye to Grace. It is the day of her funeral. As 2015 EJ looks on, he has tears in his eyes, remembering what it felt like to lose Grace, thinking she were his daughter. But, as he sees Rafe and Sami holding each other, he stiffens. Heaving a heavy sigh, he looks at Zack. Zack holds out his hand slowly, and points toward the trees. A small figure light up brightly is descending from the sky. It is a young girl, brunette, bright blue eyes. She lands to the ground without so much as a whisper. Seeing EJ, she smiles softly, and replies, “Hello, Uncle EJ. I have been so anxious to speak with you…”

Ohh, wowwww.......That just made me catch my breath.....
 
OMG. Grace is going to get to talk to EJ. Can't wait to see what she has to say. Thanks for the great chapter.
 
Oh my goodness...I have major goosebumps. What a crazy friday cliffhanger. Hurry Monday!
 
Love the Scrooge angle of your story, keep up the good work. I have followed most of your stories, and this is by far one of the better ones.... Merry Christmas....
 
Grace-ious! I got chills. Excellent idea to use the departed children to get through to EJ. He claims that children are so important to him. We shall see.

OMG, I just figured out who the third spirit will be! It will be Parker, who will die if EJ does not help out. I think I'm going to bawl.

I'll have to catch up with this story went I get back from vacation in a week.

Keep up the great storytelling Tex!
 
Absolutely kpatch! I totally agree. I wonder what it is that is wrong with him though....
 
Ooh it is getting rather interesting! I can't wait to see what's in store! Awesome job so far!
 
Wow, nice catch there, kpatch! That would make sense about Parker. Hmmm...very interesting. Can't wait for more CTG! :)
 
this is so good, I can't wait for the next chapter.

{impatiently tapping feet in anticipation of the next chapter}
 
Still in the Salem Cemetery…

Grace stands before EJ and Zack, still smiling. No accusing stares from her directed toward Elvis. Only…peace. She favors both Mia and Chad. But, her Spirit life has given her an array of curls, cascading well past her shoulders. When she speaks, it is a very soothing, sweet voice. EJ cannot help but cast his eyes toward the ground…

Grace: Uncle EJ... Why do you look so afraid? I come here to help. Just as Zack here has. I do not have it in my heart to dislike or even hate you. I may have never knew you here on Earth, but I have watched you from the heavens. It is very unsettling, Uncle.
EJ: Why should you care? As you said, you never knew me. (voice softer, filled with self pity) Besides. No one can help me now. Not even you.
Grace: Don’t be so doubtful. No man or woman’s heart is incapable of change. You are filled with so much contempt for others. But I see it in your eyes. You have regrets. Should you have actually been my father, I wonder. Would you still be so bitter?
EJ: I suppose we will never know, shall we?
Grace: Zack? Do you feel like taking a trip with us?
Zack: Has the request been granted by our Boss?
Grace: Oh yes. And He advised me to tell you He is proud of you, and not to give up on this one here.
Zack: (he smiles) Of course I haven’t lost faith in this one yet. Elvis isn’t the most difficult case I’ve had to deal with, amazingly enough. And not the first Dimera I’ve visited.
Grace: (smiles) I know… (winks at Zack)
EJ: Who?
Grace: We cannot tell you. Just as we will not reveal to anyone our visit with you, Uncle EJ. Now, are you ready for a trip that will take us to 2009?
EJ: Wait. Isn’t that where we are now?
Grace: (smiling) Yes. We are in the time that happened the way it was supposed to. Where we are going now is what could have been, had certain deeds not come into play.
EJ: I beg your pardon?

Hello everyone! I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow morning, EARLY in the morning. So, I am posting Tuesday's chapter today. ENJOY! Have a very blessed day tomorrow!

Still in the cemetery…

Grace tilts her head, her eyes sparkling. Her smile broadens. She whispers to EJ. We are going for a magical ride. Just a little pixie dust and we are off to Neverland, where you will never have to grow old! (CTG slaps her forehead) Sorry. That’s Peter Pan. My apologies. Just trying to lighten the mood for a bit. ANYWAY… Grace tells EJ they are going to a time in 2009, when lives were changed. But this time… things happen quite differently. WHOOOOOOSH!!!!!!
In an instant, EJ, Zack, and little Grace are standing outside Salem hospital. In this alternate Salem (Not to be confused with Melaswen, I assure you) There was no Dr. Baker. No baby switch by Nicole. Mia and Chad are not Grace’s parents. No Agent Rafe Hernandez. No safe house. Sami never hid the baby from EJ. The baby born to Elvis and Samantha Dimera is actually Grace Dimera. Though, 2015 Elvis is not aware of any of these...changes.

2009 EJ: Samantha, she is absolutely beautiful. Look at that dark hair!
Sami: She is beautiful…But her hair probably won’t stay this dark.
EJ: One can only hope, now can’t they? Johnny has dark hair. You have two blondes already. Will and Allie.
Sami: (Smiles) Suit yourself. Blonde or brunette, I will love her all the same.
EJ: Yes. As will I.

2015 EJ: What kind of foolishness is this? Me, Sami? And that baby? This never happened!
Grace: No. Of course it didn’t. This is something I wanted you to see. Maybe, just maybe you will learn something. You see EJ, in THIS 2009, there was no baby switching. No Nicole. No Mia and Chad. Just you, and Samantha. This is something you wished for, even prayed for.
EJ: I never…
Grace: (holds up her hand) Now, EJ. My Boss even hears YOUR prayers.
EJ: Fine. I pray. Whatever. Is the baby Hannah?
Grace: No. Actually, in the alternate time, the baby is me.
EJ: You? Why not Hannah?
Grace: Because that’s what I asked for. Just watch. Listen. And learn. If possible…

Sami, EJ and Grace are happily spending time together. Fast forward a few months when Grace becomes ill. This time however, the scene plays out quite differently.
2009 EJ is looking down at Grace in the little baby bed in the hospital room.

EJ: What can we do, Sami? I can’t bear to see her like this.
Sami: She is got to get better. Isn’t she Lexi? She’s not going to…die, is she?
Lexi: Sami, I don’t know sweetie. We are doing everything we can.
EJ: Please. Anything she needs. You tell me, Lexi. If it isn’t here at this hospital, I will find it. Fly it here. Whatever I have to do. Just tell me, PLEASE. We cannot lose our daughter. (notice EJ didn’t say MY daughter? Hmmmm)
Lexi: I promise you. Dr. Manning and I are doing everything we can. If there is something Grace needs, I promise you, I will tell you.
EJ: (tears in his eyes) Thank you, Lexi.
(Lexi leaves the room.)
Sami: EJ. Why is this happening to her? Why? She is just a baby. I can’t bear the thought…
EJ: I know. I know. Sssh.. It’s going to be alright.

2015 EJ: I still don’t get this. This didn’t happen. What the devil does it matter? What could I possibly gain from seeing this pretend rubbish?
Zack: Just hush and listen, before I lock you in a sarcophagus.
Grace: Zack Brady! Behave. We don’t threaten.
Zack: My apologies, Grace. I don’t know what got into me.
Grace: Must be the Kiriakis blood. Remember what Brady Black did to Vivian, and Vivian to Maggie?
Zack: Yes, yes. Isabella was none too pleased with her son.
Grace: No, she was not. Let’s not get off topic here, okay? We are supposed to be helping EJ.
Zack: I’d rather talk about Brady. EJ’s getting on my nerves.
Grace: (whispers) I know. I know. We must be patient with him.
EJ: What are you two whispering about? Your little plan not working?
Grace: No. We aren’t done here yet. Just be a good lad and pay attention to the scene before you. Please?
EJ: Fine.

2009 EJ and Sami are still standing by Grace’s bedside, hoping and praying they see some sign of improvement. Her breathing has become more labored. She has several monitors hooked up to her. The scene fads, and it is hours later. Sami has left the room to get coffee, and EJ is left alone for the moment with Grace…

EJ: Littlest girl…You are really scaring your mommy. You need to get better. We want to have you in your own room safe and sound. So if you could help us out here…I’d forever be in your debt sweetheart. Whatever you want… a pony, a trip to Disneyworld, all the finest dresses, whatever your little heart desires. Just get better for daddy, okay? I love you, little girl.

The monitor beeps steadily…but the machines shows her blood pressure and heart rate begin to drop…

To be continued on Wednesday…
