Author's Note: Hello my wonderful readers! This is my fourth fanfiction, but first for General Hospital. I'm a major shipper of the whole Jake/Elizabeth relationship, but at the same time, I can't wait for Jason to regain his memory. If he regains his memory before he and Elizabeth reconnect, then I can't wait for Sam to be reunited with Jason despite this whole Patrick/Sam thing going on.
"What do you mean Hayden's not my wife?" Jake demanded. "She had proof, Carly, brain scans for godsake."
"Yes, but do you remember those 'wedding photos' she was rubbing in everyone's faces?"
Jake nodded.
"They're fake. I can show you."
Carly eagerly queued up the computer and showed him the proof that his 'former face' was actually Pete Ross, a Hawthorne College alumnus, far from his previous identity.
"That's impossible. Are you sure it's not a twin?"
"Spinelli looked into everything that could be questioned and didn't find any siblings or faces that could possibly be mistaken."
Jake took a deep breath and ran his hands vigorously through his hair. His blue eyes twinkled. "So, I'm not married to Hayden. Is it horrible of me to say that I'm actually relieved?"
Carly laughed and touched his arm reassuringly. "Of course not. I'd actually be worried if you weren't. She's an extreme piece of work."
It was Jake's turn to laugh. "You're right. Do you know how much of a chore it was to try to get along with her when my instincts were screaming at me the entire time?"
Carly shook her head disapprovingly. "Never distrust your instincts Jake."
A memory flash hit Jake than, and another.
"Jake are you okay?"
Memories flooded Jake's brain and he had to grip the table for support. "Carly…" he croaked out.
"Jake, what's wrong? I'm going to get some help."
"No need, I'm perfectly fine."
"Where have I heard that before?" Carly said, rolling her eyes at how similar Jake and her dead best friend Jason were."
"I truly am, Carly." Jake said, regaining his balance and he looked at her through his freshly-remembered mind. He strolled across the room and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug. "I remember Carly."
"You remember who you are?"
Jake/Jason nodded vigorously. "I know you."
"You know me? How?"
"Carly, I'm Jason."
Carly put a hand to her mouth.
