Background:

This fic is a Jax centered fic and is completely AU. I have created a new character...Lindsay Spencer Baldwin Donovan. She is partly created from the late Karen Wexler character. Here is Lindsay's background:

Lindsay is the first born daughter of Luke and Laura Spencer. Lindsay's life began in a "Who's Your Daddy" drama with Laura/Luke/Scotty. It is 1981 when Luke and Laura first heated up. Before they are married, Laura finds herself pregnant and she doesn't know if the baby belongs to Luke or Scotty. A beautiful daughter, Lindsay Lou Spencer, is born. When Laura was missing and Luke was presumed dead in the avalanche a few years later, Lindsay goes to live with her aunt Bobbie until Luke and Laura return.

Lindsay is overjoyed when baby brother Lucky is born, and Luke and Laura go on the run from the mob with Lindsay and Lucky and hide out in Canada. But kingpin Frank Smith tracked them down in 1992 at the clan's hideout, The Triple L Diner, and drove them out of hiding and back to Port Charles, with teenage daughter and Lindsay and teenage son Lucky in tow.

Once back in Port Charles, Lindsay meets Jason Quartermaine and is instantly smitten with him. Lindsay, with Jason at her side, begins PCU as a medical student. But in late 1993, Lindsay and Lucky Spencer are shot by an enemy of Frank Smith's. Luke and Laura spend New Year's Eve at General Hospital praying for their children's recovery. Lindsay needed a blood transfusion and everyone found out that Luke was not a match for his daughter. Laura revealed that Luke Spencer, the man she grew up believing was her father, was not her father...Scotty Baldwin was! But Scotty was in Canada recovering from Dominique's death with his daughter Serena. An emergency medical team is dispatched to get blood from Scotty and Lindsay is saved. But Lindsay's relationship with Scotty is put on hold because he remains in Canada.

In the midst of Jason and Lindsay's bliss, they get engaged and begin planning a future together. But a single event changed the course of Jason and Lindsay''s lives - and in fact, Jason himself - forever. Intent on stopping A.J. from driving drunk, Jason got into a car with his brother. The accident that followed left Jason with permanent brain damage and no memory whatsoever of his family or of Lindsay.

Jason couldn't stand the way people looked at him after the accident, always hoping to see some glint of recognition in his eyes. He pushed both his relatives and Lindsay away, went to work for mobster Sonny Corinthos and changed his name to Jason Morgan. His birthday, he would declare, wasn't the day he was born but the day of the accident.

After Jason's accident, Lindsay is devastated by his rejection of her and the love he found with Robin. She unknowingly ends up down a dark path stripping at the Paradise Lounge and develops a dependency on pills. Lindsay begins leading a secret life...diligent medical student by day and a life of drinking, drug abuse, and stripping at night.

When her drug addiction got worse by the pressure of having her mother on trial for Damian Smith's murder, she overdosed, and slowly word got around to Lindsay's loved ones about her behavior. Friends and family rallied to get her help.

When Luke and Laura "faked" Laura's death the people of Port Charles, including Lindsay, mourned Laura's death. She remained at medical school and struggled with her addictions, almost plunging back into drugs over her grief. Lindsay meets Detective Simon Donovan when he tries to save her from her "life". Simon and Lindsay first met when Lindsay collapsed in tears on the docks, feeling desperately alone without her mom and the pressures of medical school mounting. Simon caught Lindsay about to inject herself and tore the needle out of her hand. Falling for her at first sight, Simon vowed to help her kick her renewed addiction. Soon Simon teamed up with Luke to take down Stefan Cassadine and began to reunite Lindsay with her parents.

Simon and Lindsay fell in love and went on many adventures together. When Lindsay is kidnapped by the Cassadines, Simon teams up with Jason to save her. Jason and Lindsay renew their friendship and the rescue strengthens Simon and Lindsay's relationship.

Finally, in 2000, Simon and Lindsay are married. In the fall of 2001, Lindsay gave birth to Sophie Katherine Donovan. Simon and Lindsay were such proud parents and showered their baby girl with love and affection. But Lindsay and Sophie's world came crashing down again a year later when Simon was shot and killed in a mob war with the Cassadine's. Lindsay left town with Sophie and set up shop in New York City for the next three years.

At Lucky's insistence, Lindsay and Sophie returned to Port Charles in the summer of 2005 and took a job as a doctor at General Hospital. She became embroiled in the surrogacy storyline and that is where our story begins...

Whew! Enjoy!
