66Hi everyone, so due to popular demand, I'm making Aiden Jason's son too. So, all three of Elizabeth's boys will be Jason's bio kids in this. Let's just say they've been married all along, Jason was never with Sam, and Liz was never with Lucky. Instead, Lucky and Sarah are married with two teenaged kids.
Also, I changed my mind, and I will do Julexis in this. Julian was never a mobster, nor is he from a mob family. The mob doesn't exist in this universe, period. Julian and Alexis are Sam, Lucas, Kristina, and Molly's bio parents in this. Sonny, Ric, and Courtney never existed in this universe. Julexis still had Sam as teens, but stayed together and raised her, had Lucas about seven years later, then had Kristina and Molly later on so there's still quite an age gap between them and Sam and Lucas. Leo doesn't exist.
And oops, a guest pointed out I made Morgan and Joss the same age. We'll say Joss is 11 and Morgan is 12. I know the ages are messed up but it's very alternate universe.
Any other questions feel free to ask. Thanks!
Chapter 1- A Snowy September
"Mooooooom!" Danny whined from the doorway, arms crossed in front of his chest.
Sam checked the time on her phone and groaned.
"Mom!" Danny repeated.
"I know, I slept in," Sam said, dragging herself out of bed. "Your dad is usually my alarm, but he headed to the office early. We'll still make it on time. I'm sure of it."
"But Mom, Willow's hogging the bathroom!"
Sam scrunched her face and rubbed her eyes. "Really? That's not like her."
Sure enough, while Scout skipped down the hallway in her fuzzy pink slippers, the whirring sound of the hair dryer came from behind the closed door of the bathroom.
"I wanna go play in the snow, Mommy!" Scout bounced on the balls of her feet, the innocence of her brown eyes looking up at her mother.
Sam raised an eyebrow and turned her gaze towards the frosted windowpane. "Snow?"
Danny pounded on the bathroom door. "Come on, Willow! I gotta pee!"
"I just need a few more minutes!" Willow called out to him."
"Willow, open up," Sam cut in. "Your brother needs to go and we're running late for school."
The blow drier automatically stopped, and Willow walked out in tears. "Fine, I'll continue to just look like a nerdy choir girl!"
"About time, Weeping Willow!" Danny stuck his tongue out at her before running into the bathroom.
"Willow?" Sam asked. "What's wrong?"
But Willow took off towards her bedroom.
"Mommy, I want to build a snowman," Scout said.
"Well, you're not doing anything without getting dressed and eating breakfast first," Sam said, nudging Scout towards her room.
Willow was lying on her side staring at her phone and Sam sat on the edge of bed.
"What's going on? Who said you look like a nerdy choir girl?"
Willow huffed. "No one. I just do."
Sam stroked her hair. "Honey, you know you can tell me anything, right?"
There was a pause for a moment before Willow nodded and handed Sam her phone.
Sam scrolled through it. "This is your MyFace messenger with Nelle?"
Nelle: Hey tramp, stay the hell away from Michael or you'll live to regret it!
Sam's eyes grew wide. "She called you a what!?"
Willow: But Mr. Witlock paired us together for our science project.
Nelle: Then back out even if that means you fail, you loser. Michael will do the project better solo anyway!
Nelle: Don't know what to say to that? He doesn't like you, he just thinks you look like a nerdy choir girl with your passive aggressiveness!
Nelle: Who would want a toothpick with stringy brown hair?
Sam jumped off the bed. "I'm going to call her mother!"
Willow sat up. "No, don't! Please don't!"
"She has no right to be messaging you like that."
"But it'll just make it worse."
"Nina needs to know. Otherwise, she'll keep treating you like that."
"Please, please. Don't… I knew I shouldn't have come to you."
Sam frowned. "I want you to always feel like you can come to me."
"Then please don't call her mom."
"Then you need to stand up to her. Tell her she has no right to treat you that way."
Willow swallowed hard. "But that's easier said than done…"
Sam reached for her hand and gave it a soft squeeze. "I know it is. But I know you're strong enough. You can do this."
"Mommy! Willow!" Scout burst into the room all bundled up in her snowsuit. "Can we please play in the show before school?"
Sam laughed. "We can after school, but you're going to be late if we don't get a move on already."

When Laura walked into Kevin's office, he was hunched over in front of his laptop, whispering out what he typed.
Laura snuck up behind him and placed her hands over his eyes. "Guess who?"
Kevin chuckled. "Could it be the most beautiful wife in the universe?"
"You guessed right." She sat in his lap and kissed him.
"Is it time to head to the airport already?" Kevin checked his watch.
"It's snowing out so I thought we should head out a little early so we can take our time."
"Snowing? In September?" Kevin shook his head. "You'd think it would be in the forecast."
"It's very strange, I just hope Lucky lands safely."
"I'm sure he will." Kevin reached for his keys.
"It'll be nice to see him and the kids again," Laura said.
Kevin raised an eyebrow. "And Sarah?"
Laura rolled her eyes. "And Sarah."
"I know you haven't always seen eye to eye."
"I just don't approve of the way she's raising my grandchildren." Laura sighed heavily. "But I also know that's not my place to say anything."
Kevin looked into her eyes.
Laura groaned and rose to her feet. "Okay, yes, I've spoken up in the past. But that got me into trouble, so I've learned my lesson. I don't want to lose Lucky or the kids again. This is the first time in six years… six years that I get to see them."
"It's hard to believe it's been that long."
"I know. Lorenzo and Anastasia are teenagers now and I've only seen them in pictures. I don't know their likes or dislikes. I don't even know their personalities."
"They're going to love their grandmother. They always have."
"That was when they were little." She started to tear up. "Goodness knows what Sarah has told them about me."
"Hey. Hey…" Kevin walked over to her and wiped away her tears with his thumbs. "They will make up their own minds when they meet you. And I know they will love you."
Laura leaned against his chest. "I hope you're right."

"Mom, Dad, Chase invited me to his house after school to shoot some hoops, can I go?" Cam asked as he flipped through his phone from the backseat.
Jason turned the steering wheel slowly, and their car made a left turn down the white road. "Basketball in the snow?"
"It could melt," Cam mumbled.
"You know that Aunt Sarah and your cousins are in town," Elizabeth said as she leaned against the passenger's side window. "You haven't seen Enzo and Anastasia in a few years…" She cranked her head over her shoulder. "I thought I told you no phones. And it's freezing, put your gloves on."
"My hands are sweating!" Cam complained.
Jason looked through the rear-view mirror. "Listen to your mother."
"Can't we shoot some hoops too?" Jake asked. "Uncle Drew put up a basketball hoop in their driveway, why can't we, Dad?"
Jason smiled. "That's a great idea, buddy. We can look into getting one. But Friday night I thought we could do our monthly pool night at Jake's."
Jake grinned. "All right!"
"Can you teach me how to make the corner pockets, Daddy?" Aiden asked.
"I sure can," Jason said. "You'll be a pro in no time at all."
"Back to my question…" Cam spoke up. "Can I please go to Chase's? I don't really want to see Aunt Sarah. You don't even like her, Mom…"
"Cameron!" Elizabeth's eyes grew wide.
"I know you've always tried to hide it in front of us, but it's true."
"Why don't you like Aunt Sarah?" Aiden asked.
"Of course, I like her," Liz said, unconvincingly. "Your Dad is working until 8 and we're picking up Gram after school. Then we're going to meet Sarah and the kids at Kelly's. And that includes you, Cameron."
Cam groaned. "Okay, fine…"
GHGHGH
"I want you to go get Spencer immediately." Helena paced the sitting room at Wyndemere. "Stanislaus only knows what they'll be teaching him there and what sorts of commoners he'll be exposed to!" She threw her arms in the air.
"Grandmother, we talked about this," Nikolas said.
"He is our son and it's our choice whether he goes to public school or not," Emily said. "He's had a tutor his entire life, but I want him to get out there and make some friends."
"But he could befriend a Spencer, or worse… one of Natasha's spawns," Helena argued.
Nikolas rolled his eyes. "He already spends time with Sam and Drew's children. He's even seen Kristina and Molly often."
Helena clenched her jaw. "First you gave him the name Spencer, then—"
"That was to honour my brother and sister," Nikolas said.
"Then you took him to…" She pursed her lips. "Chuck E Cheese when he was four."
"That was for Willow's seventh birthday," Emily said.
She shook her head. "Who names their child Willow?"
"Grandmother—"
"I expect Spencer to be at his ballroom dancing lesson this evening." Helena held her head high and left the room.

Alexis smiled as Molly walked over to Morgan, Jake, and Emma on the snowy playground.
"Enjoying all this snow?" Carly's voice announced her presence.
Alexis sighed. Seeing Carly was never good news. "It was a shock to wake up to, that's for sure."
"You know Josslyn was upset yesterday."
"Why was Josslyn upset?"
"Molly wouldn't let her play with her and Emma," Carly said. "Now why was that?"
Alexis raised an eyebrow. "I thought Josslyn and Molly always got along well."
"I think you need to talk to her about it."
"Okay, I will ask her about it," Alexis said.
"She's just too much like her mother," Carly said. "Thinks she's better than everyone else."
Alexis rolled her eyes. "If you weren't married to my best friend, then…"
"Then what?"
"Never mind." Alexis walked away.
