Okay, before I start my story. I just have something that I need to say about the way that GH is destroying one of my favorite characters. I love Elizabeth. Even when she was young and bratty. Right now, the way Elizabeth is lying to Jake, breaks my heart. I know they are not "real" but I feel that she has a right to her happiness. The way she is going now, Jake will hate her for not telling him the truth. I truly think that if she had come to her senses earlier and told him the truth that they would be together. There is no chemistry between him and Sam. He is starting to remember and she needs to tell him everything and why she did it. There are no winners here because ever since Jake woke up all he has heard about is how great Jason is and what a hero he was to everyone. I really don't even understand why Nikolas would not tell him the truth as soon as he found out. This is going to be my version of how I hoped things worked out. It is going to take place shortly after the Nurses' Ball. I do not own any of the characters they belong to General Hospital and ABC.

Shortly after Elizabeth had found out that Jake Doe was actually Jason Morgan, she felt that her dreams were shattered. She was at a loss at what she should do and the only thing that she could think of was to leave Port Charles with her sons for a few weeks. She left Jake a letter explaining everything that Nikolas had told her. She knew that sleeping with Jake was wrong, but she needed that one night before letting everyone find out that Jake was really Jason.

"Dear Jake,

I am sorry that I didn't tell you the truth when I first found out about who you were. Last night meant everything to me and I know that I was selfish and not telling you that I found out who you truly are. Sam Morgan is your wife and you are Jason Morgan. The only thing I can think of is that the accident changed you more than just your looks. I hope you can forgive for not telling you right away. I am taking my boys and going to visit my sister in California. If you want to see me or talk to me you have my number. I will be back in a few weeks.

Elizabeth.

Jake found the letter later that afternoon. He read it over and over again trying to get in his head that he was Jason Morgan. He wanted to talk to Elizabeth but was too upset to talk to her right away. It was not because she had tried to deceive him because he knew that she was trying to get everything in her mind straight before telling him. In less than twenty four hours he thought he was married to Hayden and then he found out that he was actually married to Sam. The first person he went to see was Carly. She was the one person who would tell him the truth and he knew how much Jason meant to her.

Jake walked into the Metro Court and saw Carly sitting at the bar. "Can I talk to you, Carly? I found out who I am and I really need a friend right now." Carly was shocked but was happy that he found out who he is.

"Okay, tell me. Are you rich and famous? Are you like a star somewhere? I know you look great and have "star quality" written all over you." Jake just laughed. This was exactly what he needed. He needed someone who would make him laugh because he wanted to tear something apart and that would only get him into trouble.

"Helena told Nikolas who I was and he told Elizabeth last night. He knew that Elizabeth was hurting from what Ric did to her and he didn't want to see her get even more hurt when she found out who I am. I am Jason Morgan and I am married to Sam. I can't believe that I am saying this out loud. Elizabeth left me a letter telling me the truth and then took off to California for a few weeks. She didn't want to be around when I tell Sam. I don't love Sam. I don't remember her. I love Elizabeth. I have always felt this connection with her and I think that is why I took the name "Jake" because of our son. I am so torn. I feel a sense of relief at knowing who I am but I feel nothing for my wife. How can I tell her that I am Jason and then tell her the truth? I want a relationship with my son, Danny. I want to be friends with Sam but nothing more." Carly put her arms around her friend and sat him down at a nearby table.

"First of all, I need to feed you. I know you and you haven't eaten anything since you read that letter. Tell Sam the truth. Tell her that you want a relationship with their son and that you want to be her friend but nothing more until you get your bearings back. There are going to be a lot of people wanting to see you. Spinelli for one and your mother. She has lost so much, and having you back will help her so much." Jake looked at Carly and gave her a hug.

"Okay, you make the calls. I might as well tell everyone at the same time. I just need to make a call to Elizabeth. I will be right back. Have them meet me here in an hour. I think I need my lawyer, Diane here too."

Carly started making the phone calls for Jake starting with Diane. "Diane, I need you at the Metro-Court? There is someone here that needs your services, badly. He is an old client of yours that we thought passed away. Jason is back." Diane told Carly that she was on her way. Carly then called Monica, Sam, Spinelli and Sonny. She told them that she had some big news and that they were needed at the Metro-Court. It was concerning "Jason".

Jake called Elizabeth but all he got was her voice-mail. "Liz, I need to talk to you. I read your letter. I understand why you left. I love you and not Sam. I am not mad at you. I understand why you didn't tell me last night and why you wrote that letter. You and I are the real deal. I think that is why you felt so familiar to me. Like I was coming home. You are home to me. Please call me." Jake hung up his phone and in walked Diane.

"So you are the real Jason Morgan. I should have known. The plastic surgeon really wasn't that far off on your looks. He did a great job. I have already started on the paperwork for you coming back from the dead. You and Sonny need to stop doing that." As soon as she said the name, Sonny he walked in.

"Did I hear my name? Why are you talking to Jake about coming back from the dead? Does he know who he is now?" Jake looked at his old best friend and didn't know what to do or say.

"I do know who I am but I just don't remember me being him. I know it sounds confusing but Nikolas Cassadine told Elizabeth last night at the Nurses' Ball. She wrote me a letter telling me that I am Jason Morgan. She felt like she couldn't be a part of my life anymore and she took her boys and went to California. I am in shock but what can I do. I have heard about Jason Morgan since I woke up but the only time I feel like me is around Elizabeth. Michael, Morgan and Carly have been great and I feel a connection with them and a friendship with Sam and Patrick. I just don't feel like I can be who everyone wants me to be."

Sam, Patrick and Spinelli came in next to the Metro Court. They were wondering what Carly was talking about when she mentioned it was about Jason. Monica was the last to come in because she just got out of surgery. "I am glad that you all could make it. I have great news about Jason. He is alive and well." Jake walked in with Diane Miller and sat down.

Jake looked at everyone and then at Diane. "Okay, this is going to sound strange but last night, Elizabeth Webber found out that Jake is really Jason Morgan. She was upset because of what happened with Ric and was thinking that she needed to see Jake. Nikolas saw Elizabeth and told her that "Jake" was truly married but not to Hayden. "Jake" is really Jason Morgan. She wrote a letter to him today telling him everything that Nikolas told her. Jake came here to talk to Carly and now we are all here". Diane looked at her former client and sighed. Everyone was stunned. Patrick realized that Robin had lied when she said that Jason had died. Although he was a bit curious about why she didn't tell him the truth later or why she never asked about him because she knew he was alive.

Sam and Monica were so happy to see "Jason" alive. "I can't wait till we get home and Danny sees you. He will be so happy that his friend is really his dad. Diane, can we table this for now? I need to take my husband home." Jake and Patrick looked at Sam like she was crazy.

"Sam, I am sorry but I am not going home with you. I don't remember us as a couple and I don't love you. I want to have a relationship with Danny but I am not getting back together with you. I have a lot to think about and for me to go home with you will only confuse Danny more. You have a life with Patrick and I have one with Elizabeth. That is not going to change anytime soon." Sam looked at Jake as though he had broken her heart.

"You love me. I know deep down inside, once you remember that I am the one you love. She is the one you leave. Where is Saint Elizabeth? Shouldn't she be here making sure that you stay with her or is she looking for a new husband." Jake looked at her like he didn't even know her.

Elizabeth had just made it to Los Angeles when she realized that she missed several calls. She listened to her voice mail and when she heard Jake on the phone her heart leaped. She knew that he still loved her. She also knew that being here was for the best because he was going to be torn and if he really wanted to he could always follow her to California. Just then Sarah showed up and was ready to bring them to her place in Malibu. Cameron and Aiden were excited to be in California and staying at Auntie Sarah's beach house.

Elizabeth explained to Sarah why she left Port Charles and what she wanted to do while they were there. "Okay, let me get this straight. Your "Jake" is really Jason Morgan. You love him and he left you a message saying he loves you. Why aren't you calling him? You need to call him once you are settled in at my place."

The boys were exhausted from their plane ride and were fast asleep. Sarah and Elizabeth were relaxing outside with a glass of wine and watching the tide come in. Elizabeth got out her phone and called Jake. "Hi Jake. I realize that we keep missing each other. I love you too. I am staying at my sister's beach house. I would love it if you could spend a few days here and we can talk without everything going on in Port Charles? Call me. I miss you already."

Elizabeth then settled in for the night. The last two days had finally caught up with her and she was able to get to sleep. Jake went back to Elizabeth's house where he felt a connection to her and their boys. He fell asleep knowing that Elizabeth was still in love with him and that everything would work out alright.
