Jason knew that he needed to decide what to do with his life. He went to see his mother, Monica. He needed her to know that she had one child that was still alive. He just couldn't tell anyone else.
He made it to the door and Alice let him in. "Your mother is in the study, but you have to hurry because she will be leaving for work soon." Jason walked into the study and saw his mother looking at the photos of her family. It was just her and Tracy left now.
"I want to tell you something but you have to promise not to tell anyone else until I figure what I want to do with my life. I just found out something last night and you are going to be shocked."
His mother looked at him and she knew deep down that the news was something everyone would want to hear. "Okay, I promise not to tell anyone."
"I am your son, Jason Quartermaine. Nicholas told me the truth last night and when I went to see Elizabeth after her break-up with Ric, my memories started coming back. I even remember my time as Jason Quartermaine. I do not want to go back to Jason Morgan. I would be proud to be Jason Quartermaine again." Monica just took him in her arms and cried.
"I thought that you reminded me of him but I didn't want to press. I am so glad but I am confused about why you don't want to let anyone else know?"
"I want to tell Elizabeth and Sam but I know that Elizabeth will step aside and let me go be with Sam but I don't think that is what I want to do. Actually, I know that I don't want to do that because I am not that Jason anymore. I am different and the things that I loved as Jason Morgan are totally different that Jason Quartermaine. I think that Jake is a cross between the two and I need to be Jake for a just a little while longer. I know that I don't belong in Sonny's world anymore but I am not sure exactly where I belong. I was thinking about going a totally new route. I think that building things would be a good way to make up for what I have done. I am not proud of the things that I did for Sonny and Carly. I am also not proud of the way I treated my family and also Elizabeth. I have loved her since that night I saved her in Jake's. She is my angel and I need her light in my life. Sam was good for Jason Morgan but I don't think that she could fit in my world as Jason Quartermaine. I do want a relationship with my son, Danny. I am just confused but I am glad that I told you the truth."
Jason hugged his mother and left for Elizabeth's house. He got there just as Elizabeth was getting ready to get her boys. "I loved last night. Thank you for being there for me. I just feel that you are keeping something from me and I don't know why. It is a weird feeling and I don't like it. I guess when you are ready you will tell me.
"Elizabeth, stop. There are so many things that I want to tell you. I just have to find where my head is and then I promise you that I will tell you what I need to tell you. I will give you some space. I am going back to the Metro Court for a few days and then I will tell you everything. I do want to tell you something and I need you to hear me. I love you Elizabeth Webber. I love you with all that I have and I want you to know that you have my heart."
Elizabeth looked at him and felt this peace come over her. She felt it was a sign but she didn't know if it was from Jason or Emily. She looked deep into his blue eyes that reminded her so much of Jason. "I love you too, Jake Doe. I want you to know that and when you are ready to tell me, I will be ready to listen. You have my heart too."
Elizabeth went to see Patrick and picked up Cameron and then went to Audrey's and picked up Aiden. Her grandmother looked at Elizabeth and realized that her granddaughter was in love and it was not with Ric. She had heard all about the fiasco from Cameron. She knew that she had feelings for Jake and figured that who she was in love with and she was happy with that. Her granddaughter needed someone who loved her and got her.
Jason went over to the Metro Court and saw Carly. He looked at his best friend from his past and realized that he still cared a lot for her but she was not the one that made him who he was and that was Elizabeth. He just had to figure out what to do about Sam.
"I see you are back here. I am glad about that but I guess things didn't go well with Elizabeth. I will stand by you, don't you worry."
"Carly, do you know how I could get in touch with Diane Miller? I need her advice on something. I just can't tell anyone right now about it."
"Yeah, I have her in my contact list. You might have to go to New York City because that is where she is based right now. Good luck."
Jason took her information and went to his room. He called Diane and made an appointment for the next day. He knew that he was going to have fly out either that evening or early the next morning. Then he decided maybe he would just get on his motorcycle and drive there. He would be outside enjoying the wind and maybe he could slow down the thoughts in his head. He had some money and got himself a hotel room in New York near the address of Diane's office.
He stopped and thanked Carly on his way out and got on his motorcycle and drove to New York City. He went over what he was going to talk to Diane about and he knew that she was the best person for it. She knew Jason and could already figure out what she needed to do without even asking him.
When he got to his motel room, it was just a small room with a television, bed and bathroom. That was all he needed for now. He knew that he had a lot of money but that never made a difference in his life. He just wanted his name back and his life.
He got some take out and went to his room to sleep.
He fell asleep and woke up in his wife's bed. She had just finished making breakfast and Danny ran into his bedroom. "C'mon dad! Mom has breakfast on the table and then you need to go see Uncle Sonny. Then we will go to the pier and watch the boats come in."
Jason followed Danny into the kitchen. Sam was wearing his t-shirt and singing to herself. "Okay, it is usually me that oversleeps but I guess you need to sleep in once in a while. Sonny is stopping over here after breakfast. He has something important to talk to you about. I know that you plan on taking Danny to watch the boats but I think that you should find us a new place to live. I know her memories are all around here but she is gone. I am sorry that you couldn't save her and her sons but you are not their father and she is not your wife. I am your wife and you had to choose. I am glad that you choose Danny and me over her and her brood.
"I am confused. Did you just call Elizabeth a cow and her sons a brood? Jake was my son too and I watched him die, not once but twice. I still don't understand how this happened. She told me that she loved me and wanted a life with me. We were going to leave town and before that could happen, she was murdered with her three sons. Jake finally came back to us. Why would anyone kill them?"
He looked at her and realized that she may have had a hand in their murders. He didn't want to believe it but the way she talked about them it was like they were problems that needed to go away and they did.
Sonny stopped in and he went with Jason to his office. "The deal is all set. You are getting your own territory and we are merging the Jerome family and my family together. Julian is in jail and so as the son-in-law, you can have his people. We will have one of the biggest territories around. I am happy that Sam was able to make the deal with her father. She just asked him for a favor before that happened and now everything is the way it should have been. Sam is a great asset for us. Sometimes, I wish Carly could help me like Sam does for you."
"I am going to ask this one time. You need to tell me the truth or I will find out the truth and you and I will no longer be speaking. Did Sam order Elizabeth and her sons murdered? Jake was one of them and he was my son too. I need to know that my wife would never do something like that to hurt me."
"Okay. She needed a favor and that was to get rid of your other family. They needed to go because she found out about you wanting to leave with them. We couldn't let that happen so we called in a couple of favors and now it is over. There is no going back and no need to go back. They were in the way for our family. I know that you understand that. I also know that Elizabeth would never put you first. She is too weak to handle this type of life."
Jason looked at Sonny and realized that he had lost everything. He no longer wanted to be there but with his family gone, he just wanted to shut down. He felt that his life didn't have purpose anymore. The only problem was Danny. Danny was his son and if he just left, then it would hurt Danny and he didn't want to do that. He was torn about what to do. He needed to think about his life but he couldn't stay in Port Charles when he wanted to kill his best friend and his wife. They took away his family and his heart.
"Sonny, I need to go. I promised to take Danny to the pier to watch the boats. I will talk to you later or maybe never. I don't know. You should have killed me too. I know what you have done and I am not sure what to do about it but you and Sam will never be a part of my life. I am leaving. I am not sure where but I will not take over the Jerome territory and I will not stay married to a monster who kills women and children. This is something we promised each other that we would never do."
Jason took Danny to the pier. He watched the boats with Danny and told him that no matter what happens, he will always love him. Jason sees Nik come to shore. "Let's go say hi to your cousin. Hi Nik! I have to talk to you in private. There is something going on and I know who had Elizabeth and our sons killed. I just can't say it here in the open. After I take Danny to his grandmother's house, I need to see you. Can you meet me at the gatehouse on my mother's property in two hours? It is very important."
Nik was intrigued by what Jason had said and told him that he would. Jason then took Danny for an ice cream sundae at Kelly's. The two of them sat together and Jason felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. He didn't know if he was going to disappear or kill himself. There was so much sadness in his life and he wanted revenge on Sam and Sonny. He had a tape recording of Sonny admitting to setting up Elizabeth and her sons. He wanted Sam and him to pay for what they had done. Jason was going to let his mother listen to the tape. He wanted her to take care of Danny when this all went down. He was then going to let Nik listen so when she went to see Nik to help her get out of trouble, he wouldn't help her. I also wanted her mother to hear it and then he was going to give it to the police.
When all of that happened, it was going to disappear. He would get on his motorcycle and keep going.
He saw his mother and she was so happy to see him and Danny. She was wondering why he was there with Danny and Sam not with them too. "I want you to listen to this tape. When it is done, you will know why I am here and look the way I do. I need you to watch over Danny for me. You and Alexis can both watch over him because his mother and I won't be in his life."
Monica listened to the tape and heard Sonny say that he and Sam ordered the hit on Elizabeth and her boys. Jake was her grandson and he was dead because of them. She looked away because she didn't want Danny to see her cry.
"I am going to let Nik hear this, Alexis and then I am taking this to the police station. Sam and Sonny do not know that I did this but I have to get justice for what they did to my family. Elizabeth and I may never have married but she has a place in my heart. I tried to do what is best for all of us but I was wrong. I don't know what this is going to do to my son here but I have to leave. Please say you will help me."
"I will always love and protect you, Jason. I will also do that for Danny. I want you to know that Elizabeth and I made our peace when Jake came back. He calls me grandmother and he was the sweetest boy. I love him and his brothers and I always felt that Elizabeth was a daughter to me since she became friends with Emily. I know I was wrong when I judged her when Jake had first "died". I just hate to think that Sam was that obsessive that she would do that but you are right, she has to pay and so does Sonny."
He hugged his son and went to the gate house to see Nik. Nik arrived a few minutes after Jason did. He played the tape for Nik and asked him to watch over Danny for him. His mother and Alexis would be his caregivers but he wanted someone who knew and loved Elizabeth and her sons to tell Danny. He wanted Danny to know what his mother and Sonny did to his family. He also wanted Danny to be safe.
The next stop was to see Alexis. He let her listen to his tape and make up her own mind. She realized that her daughter needed to be punished for having a mother and her three young sons murdered because they got in her way. Jason asked her to help Monica raise Danny. She agreed and promised not to help Sam.
Diane met him at the police station. Jason gave Nathan and Dante the real tape and he gave a copy to Diane. "Do you what you have to do but make sure that no one else gets hurt or killed. I also want to thank you for all the help you have given me since I first met you. You know what I want and need before I even ask for it."
Diane watched her client walk out of the police station. She knew that he was going to end his life but he wanted to make sure all the loose ends were tied up. He drove to "Nowhere" on his motorcycle. He took a walk to their bridge and told Elizabeth to hold on that he was coming to her. He prayed that he got the chance to be with Elizabeth and their sons again. He then took off riding his motorcycle. The roads were slick from a storm that just passed through. He took the curve but it was too sharp and he went over the cliff. The police found his motorcycle and broken body on the rocks below. They saw that he had tried to slow down by the skid marks but he couldn't hold it and went over. His death was ruled an accident and so his son Danny would get most of his money. Sam and Sonny both tried to get Danny's money but couldn't because they were both sentenced in the murders of Elizabeth and her three sons. No one wanted to help either one. The family took care of Danny but they left his mother to twist in the wind. Sonny was treated the same way. Jason left Carly money to take care of her two sons and Josslyn. Morgan and Michael were old enough for their money but Joss's money went to her mother until she was twenty-one years old. Danny was the same way and it was held in trust by Monica.
That was when he woke up. His mind was free from confusion about what he wanted to do. He was going to go with his heart and divorce Sam so he could be with Elizabeth. He knew who he loved and that was great.
He went to see Diane and told her that he was Jason Quartermaine. He wanted his life back and wanted to divorce Sam but get joint custody of Danny. "Okay, the first thing we have to do is prove that you are truly Jason Quartermaine. Once that is established then we can get your old name restored and you can claim your life back. Then I will file for divorce for you. Just be careful of who you tell. Once your life is exposed, there are going to be many people pulling you in all sort of directions."
Diane could tell that she was going to be moving back to Port Charles. She loved having Jason as her client. She also wanted to see where things were going for her and Max. She got the dna test started and was happy to see that he might finally get a happy life.
