Chapter 10

Jason and Sam had been working tirelessly to try and figure out what was going on with Andre. Word was getting around that Jordan and Andre had broken up and Anna was spending a lot of time with him. Sam figured she could ask for information about Andre, or maybe, she'd be able to use the WSB to figure out what was going on with Dr. Kline since Spinelli wasn't having any luck. Sam asked Anna to meet her at the police station because she wanted to figure out why one man's finger prints couldn't be traced in the database, as if they didn't exist, while the other man's finger prints were able to be processed the day Jason got arrested after attacking Franco. Anna agreed to meet Sam and bring Dante in, because he was there when the mystery man calling himself Jake Doe entered gH.

Sam:" Hi Anna, thanks for meeting me here."

Anna:" Oh it's no problem. I wasn't doing that much today and had the time to meet you. I'm glad to help in any way I can. I'm sure it's getting confusing trying to figure out what's been going on with two men claiming to be the same person."

Sam:" Yeah I know. It is confusing. I just want to know who's who so my life can get back on track."

Anna:" okay. Let me get Dante. Maybe, he can help you out."

Anna went to get Dante, and then they both came back in a conference room so they all could chat.

Sam:" Hi Dante."

Dante:" Hey Sam, how are you?"

Sam:" Good. So, I wanted to talk to you both about Jason. Well, actually Jake Doe. When you did the finger prints on him, how come his finger prints didn't show up, as if they never existed, but the other man claiming he's Jason showed up immediately when you were finger printing him for his arrest?"

Dante was puzzled about this himself. He did remember that both men were getting a DNA test, and he hoped that would put this whole situation to rest and once and for all things would start to make sense again. This business of two Jasons was starting to get on everyone's nerves, including at the PcPD.

Dante:" Uh… I'm actually not sure. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's all I can offer. I can try to run the finger prints again, but we may not need that. You will be there for the DnA test, right?"

Sam:" Yes of course I will be."

Anna:" Okay, so where do I fit in in all of this?"

Sam:" Well, you've been seeing a lot of Andre lately. I was just wondering if maybe, he said some things without meaning to? Maybe the slip of the tung kind of a thing?"

Anna:"No I'm sorry Sam. He hasn't. He keeps every patient he sees confidential. His whole work setting is very private. I don't ask him any questions about work. I know it's weird, but we don't really talk about that kind of thing. Plus, Andre and I are just friends."

Sam thought this was very strange, and that Anna was acting weird, but hey, that was none of her business.

Anna:" I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help to you. I hope you find out who's Jason and who isn't. I have to go."

Dante:" I'll walk you out Anna."

Sam was dejected. She thought that Anna may have an idea about Dr. Kline, but Anna really didn't seem to be in the mood to help her. Was she sick again? What was going on with her? It didn't matter because the DNA test was scheduled later today, and then, in a few days, everyone would know once and for all who was really Jason.

Sam then decided to go grab a bite to eat at Kelly's, and as she was there, she ran into Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was picking up food for Franco. He was being released today, and he was slowly able to eat solid foods. Elizabeth didn't want to take any chances, so she was ordering some soup. Elizabeth saw Sam and decided to go over to her.

Elizabeth:" Sam, is everything okay?"

Sam:" Yeah, I guess. I just am getting really frustrated with this whole two Jason's business. It's really confusing and it's driving me crazy. I mean,sometimes, it's like I don't know which man I'm supposed to be with. Isn't that crazy?"

Elizabeth:" No it's not crazy. I can remember how hard it was for me when I was engaged to Lucky and in love with Nikolas. As horrible as that was, and though it drove me crazy, I was tired of always doing whatever everyone wanted me to do. My only regret during that time was that I wasn't honest with my feelings for Nikolas and Lucky. I should have told Lucky that I couldn't marry him because I had feelings for Nikolas, instead of lying about it and who I had feelings for. Sam, I hope that once this business is resolved, you'll be able to figure out what it is you want, and the decision won't be that hard for you. It's probably going to take some time to sort all of this out, especially once theDNA tests are in and the results for both come out. Whatever you decide to do, lean on your family okay? Don't try to do this alone."

Sam was shocked at how much Elizabeth knew and understood what she would be going through, especially once she finds out who is Jason. What if it's the man who was called Patient 6? Could she allow herself to feel that way for him again? Of course, if it was the other man who really was Jason, it would be easy for her to just go to him and resume their life. I mean, she's already had her baby girl with him, and things would just go back to the way things were before this other man came to town.

Sam:" Elizabeth, wow that was actually great advice. Thanks for that talk. I hope I'm not in that situation where I'd have to choose between the two men. That would really suck, and I know that either one of them would get hurt. I don't want to hurt any of them."

Elizabeth:" I know you don't Sam, and I'm sorry you're in this situation. My order's ready. I have to go. Take care, and I'll see you later okay?"

Sam:" Okay.

Just then, Sam got a call from Anna. She felt guilty about how abruptly she left the police station, but she came across new information.

Sam (answering the phone):" Hi Anna, what's up?"

Anna: "I wanted to appologize for what happened earlier. I don't know what came over me. I just got a gift from Andre. It's a little ornament. There's a flashdrive on it. I don't know what's on it, but I called you because it may help you figure out what's going on with the two Jason's."

At this point, Sam was annoyed. Why was Anna acting like this? She didn't care about a flashdrive. She just wanted to get to the bottom of this, but her curiosity got the better of her.

Sam:" Okay, I'll get it. I'm at Kelly's. Can you bring it there?"

Anna:" Sure. I'll be there in about twenty minutes."

Sam:" Okay. Then, I'll grab a coffee and wait for you."

Sam was getting rather hungry, so she decided to get a coffee and asandwhitch. As she was eating and drinking her coffee, Anna came to her with the flashdrive. She decided to chat with her for a little while.

Anna:" Here's what's weird about this. When I opened up the ornament and found the flashdrive, Andre got really anxious, almost as if he thought I would use it or something. He said it had some important secret information on it. Naturally, my curiosity got the better of me and I wanted to try and load the drive, but I didn't because he was so upset. I figured that you being a PI, you'd be able to do it and it wouldn't be a big deal."

Sam:" Thanks."

Anna:" You're welcome."

Sam:" How was Emma and Robin? I didn't get to see them on Thanksgiving."

Anna:" They were great. I miss them a lot, but I go to California a lot, so the next time I go, I'll tell them all you said hi. I'll even tell Patrick you said hi. I wish the two of you could have worked out, but I was glad to hear you were able to go back to Jason."

Sam:" I'm glad you aren't angry with me. It wasn't an easy situation for any of us at that time, and Patrick handled it better than I thought, especially when he left to find Robin. I just felt bad for Emma. It was good to see her at the nurses ball last year. She's getting so grownup looking."

Anna:" I know."

Anna:" Well, as lovely as this was, I have to go. Do you need a lift anywhere?"

Sam (realizing what time it was):" Nope, I'm good. I'm gonna walk to the hospital for the DNA test to be there for support."

Anna:" Okay. see you later."

Sam:" You too. Thanks."

Later that afternoon, Elizabeth, sam and drew (Author's note so it's not as confusing) were waiting for the DNA test to be performed on Jason. Once they were done, Drew would go in for his test. As Jason walked out, alab tech came in for Drew.

Lab tech:" Okay patient number two? I need you to go for your DNA test."

Jason (looking at Sam before going in):" I love you."

Sam:" I love you too."

Elizabeth decided that she would go back to work and be there when the results were being read. She was the one who offered to take it to the police station so that the DNA test could be read there.

Once the tests were done,Elizabeth asked the lab tech if they could put a rush on the results because of the importance of the tests, and they agreed. They informed Elizabeththe the results would be in by 4:00.

It seemed to take forever for the results to come in. As soon as they came in, Elizabeth went to the lab to bring them to the police station. Each test was in its own envelope, just as Jake's toothbrush was in one. They really didn't need Danny or Jake's items anymore because the results were clear who was Jason. Jordan saw Elizabeth at the police station and happily took the results.

Jordan:" Okay Elizabeth, I'm going to need to take a few minutes to read the results with Andre. I think it's important that he's there with us when they are read. Someone may need that extra support because someone's life is going to be completely blown apart."

Elizabeth:" Okay. I'll text them all and let them know about the results and to meet us at the police station."

Elizabeth sent a group text to drew, Sam and Jason and they all met at the police station. When they were all present, Jordan and Andre led them into a conference room.

Jordan:" Okay everyone, have a seat. First of all, I want to thank both of you (looking at the two men) for performing a DNA test. I'm sure that wasn't easy. Now, for the moment of truth."

Andre:" I just want to say that for whoever this hurts, because unfortunately, one of you will be hurt, I will offer my services for some counciling for you. I'll offer it for both of you, because I actually think that both of you are going to need it."

Sam looked to drew and squeezed his hand.

Sam:" I love you."

Jason:" I love you too. I hope whatever happens—

Sam (interrupting him):" Shhh, Jason, it's okay. No matter what happens, I'm here with you. You know that."

Jordan:" Okay. Can I have one of the envelopes please? Okay… now I have one envelope here, and I will say with 99.9 percent certainty that you (looking to Jason formally known as Patient 6) are Jason Morgan."

Jordan went to take the other envelope and read the results.

Jordan:" It is with 99.9 percent certainty that you (looking at Drew) are a match, but you aren't Jason Morgan. Your name is Andrew Cane."

All of a sudden tears of sadness and angerfell down Drew's face. . How could he not be Jason?

Drew took a shakey breath and began to speak.

Drew:" There's gotta be a reasonable explanation. How is it that I'm drew Cane, but am a match for Jason Morgan?"

Jordan (feeling bad for drew):" There is an explanation and it's going to come as a shock to all of you in the room. Andre, would you care to do the honors?"

Andre cleared his throat and began to speak.

Andre:" Okay, I'll give you an explanation. So, Jason was on Cassadine Island in 2012. Drew, you were also there. I had been trying to conduct a study to improve Dementia in patients by doing what's known as memory mapping. The idea was that if I could remap someone's memories, perhaps that could restore their memories and cure the disease. I happened to see both you and Jason, and Helena heard about my research. She thought that both you and Jason would be perfect candidates. Jason was working for Helena for a while, and his memories were still in tact at the time. I wasn't able to do it too far with him, but I was able to get further with Drew. When we decided to do the procedure, we figured we would work on Jason, and then, drew. As I mentioned, we were able to get a bit further in the memory mapping with Drew than we were with Jason. We don't know why that is, but we figured we'd implant Jason's memories into Andrew Cane since we established your memories had been completely erased. So, that's why as Jason Morgan, you knew to come to Port Charles and knew Elizabeth, Sam, Carly and Michael for a while. We didn't know how it would work, as this is an experimental procedure, but it worked the way Helena wanted it to. Andrew slowly began to remember his life as Jason, and you, Jason were under extreme sedation for a while."

All who were present in the room couldn't believe what they were hearing. Sam began to speak.

Sam:" What the hell is wrong with you? You took a man's identity and implanted it into someone else's brain for research? I'm not a medical expert, but I do know that you could have tried to figure out a cure for dementia another way. You're sick!"

Andre:" I didn't think it would cause this much pain and suffering to all involved. If I had known, I would—Sam (interrupted him again):" screw you! I don't want to hear anything out of your mouth! You should be in Jail for what you've done. Now, two men are going to be struggling to figure out their lives because of not only Helena, but you too."

Andre:" There's more. When Jason went to Russia, he was in the care of Dr. Kline. I don't know where he is, but he had him under extreme sedation because of how dangerous he was. There is hope though. We can try to restore both of their memories. As I mentioned, both drew and Jason have different degrees of the memory mapping, and so the results may be different. I'm sorry."

Drew (in a fit of anger):" So, Andre, what does this mean for me? Now, I've been living the life of someone else? Is there more that you're not telling us? If so, you better tell me now."

Andre:" yes there is more. There's a reason why the two of you had matches for DNA. It's because both you and Jason are twin brothers."

Jason:" What? We're twins? How could that be? I was adopted by Alan and Monica Quartermaine, and there was no mention that there was a twin. If Monica and Alan knew about it, they would have adopted both of us."

Jordan spoke up next (just as shocked as everyone else):" Andre, I think everyone involved has had enough. You may as well just give up the evidence for the memory mapping materials because you will be arrested for this."

Andre (not able to resist Jordan's authority):" Okay. It's on a flashdrive."

Sam (remembered Anna giving it to her and taking it out of her pocket):" Oh… you mean this? I'll keep it, but I think if we're gonna use it, we should use it with a therapist who's actually gonna help us and not screw with all of us like you did."

Andre (looking to drew):" So, do you want to know a little bit about yourself? Well, I'll tell you before I get hauled off. Your name is Andrew Cane, and you're a NavySeal. It was easy to do the memory mapping because you suffered from PTSD after being deployed in 2007 to Afganistan."

Drew couldn't believe this. What was going on? None of this made any sense, and the same went for Jason. Jason was baffled by the fact that he had a twin brother who was living his life.

Drew (looking to Andre)" How could that be? I'm Jason Morgan. I have no recollection of being a nnavy seal or anything. You're just talking out your ass because you wanna have a justifiable excuse for why you did what you did to us. If you're telling me this, does this mean that the life I built with Sam… our daughter… none of that really exists because I'm not Jason? What the hell!"

Andre:" It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. There is proof that you're a navy seal and the PcPD can get it. Jordan, would you mind?"

Jordan:" No. I'll see if Dante or Nathon's around to get the proof. Sit tight."

Jordan walked out and saw Nathon at his desk. He could tell by the look on her face that things were intense.

Nathon:" Commissioner, how can I help you?"

Jordan:" I need some proof that Andrew Cane is a real person who's been in the navy."

Nathon (looking to his computer):" Okay. Let's see." And in a few minutes, he printed all the information she needed to give the proof to Drew.

Jordan:" Thank you detective. You've been a great help."

Nathon:You're welcome." .

Jordan came back in the room where she gave the information to drew. He staired at it for a moment, and then passed it over to Sam. Drew had tears in his eyes as he was looking at Sam.

Sam:" Jas… um… Drew, the proof's here. Before you ask though, this doesn't change anything. I love you, Jason's memories or not. We built a life together, and that's what I want."

Drew (still upset):" are you sure? If you'd rather be with Jason, then, I'll let you go so I can figure out my life. I don't need to ruin Jason's life anymore."

Sam (putting her arms around Drew):" drew, none of this was your fault. It wasn't like you intended for this to happen. Remember when you first came here? You had no idea who you were. I mean, even Elizabeth can attest to that. Right?"

Elizabeth (still in shock about Andre, but composed herself):" Yes. I mean, you thought your name was Jake and you said that the name soundes good, so you would go with it because you had no idea. Something seemed strange when you came to my house though because you were having flashes, but now it makes sense. All the memories that you had of me and even Sam were Jason's memories, and now that Andre was able to put the pieces of this puzzle together, it makes sense. It also explains the differences in the personalities. When you confronted me about knowing your identity, your actions weren't like Jason's at all. Yes, Jason would have been angry, as anyone would, but he would have also forgiven me even if it went without saying it. You bairly would give me the time of day and when Jake was having all those problems, like faking the break in, you accused me of manipulating you so that you'd get back together with me and you wouldn't marry Sam."

Jason was shocked. He knew that both Sam and Elizabeth could selfdestruct at times, but he knew that Elizabeth wouldn't coach her own son to do something like that, and the fact that someone accused her of doing so was wrong. Jason also knew that this was a difficult situation, and because drew didn't know Jason, he knew that he only acted the way he thought Jason would react. Some things were true, but not this. Elizabeth would never do that to a child. Carly may, but not Elizabeth, and even so, Jason had forgiven so much over the years.

Sam:" I should have picked up on the little things like the fact that you were so willing to give up the mob and running to Sonny and Carly's rescues every time they needed something and you agreed to put me and the kids first. Jason, let's be honest. You've tried, but then, as soon as Burnie called you to meet you on the peer, I told you to go and you did. I guess, I was hoping you wouldn't have jumped at the chance, but again, that's who you are. You're always willing to help everyone, even if it meant risking your life. I would never ask you to change that, but I guess, what I'm also saying is that Drew, even when I thought he was Jason did it without me needing him to ask or wonder about it."

Sam (looking to drew):" Let's go home. I think we've all had a long day and could use the break. By the way, you're my hero, and if I didn't love you before, I love you even more. You fought to serve this country; not tried to kill people for a living because you're a mob enforcer. Jason, I'm not saying that I never accepted your life, and I still do, but I have a baby now, and I've changed since the past 5 years. I've wanted the safer life ever since dating Silas, and especially Patrick. Then, when I got pregnant with Scout, I wanted it even more. I'm still gonna always have that adventurous side of me, that's not gonna change, but there are aspects of me that are different. Please forgive me Jason?"

Jason (walking toward sam):" Sam, there's nothing to forgive you for. Neither of you did anything wrong. You thought this man was me, and that explained a lot for all of you, including Carly. If you're happy, then, that's all I want for you."

Sam (smiling with teers in her eyes):" Thanks Jason. Drew, let's go home."

Jason decided to walk out with Sam and drew. He wanted to tell carly the good news. Jordan saw Elizabeth sitting there quietly.

Jordan:" Elizabeth, do you need a ride?"

Elizabeth:" No. I'd like to stay. I want to talk to Andre after you arrest him."

Jordan:" Okay. It'll be a few minutes because I need to have my detectives arrest him"

Twenty minutes later, Andre was arrested by Nathon and he allowed Elizabeth to go visit him in his cell.

Elizabeth (angrily):" Andre, how could you! I trusted my son in your care, and now you're going to be responsible for his downfall. He's made so much progress between you and Franco, and now this?what's he gonna do when he finds out that the man he thought was his real father isn't? He looked to Drew as Jason as a father figure in his life, because Lucky isn't around. This is your falt. If Jake suffers a breakdown or regresses, all of this is on you. I'm ashamed that I ever trusted you. I turned myself inside out with the pain I caused all Jason's loved ones, but you take the cake. We no longer need your services, and if I have to, I'll refer Jake to another therapist or just have him stick with franco. I pitty anyone who would ever seek you out for any type of professional help, especially Jason and drew. How could you do this? I'm not surprised with Helena having something to do with this, but you? I'm shocked."

Andre:" I'm sorry Elizabeth. I honestly don't know what to say. I just wish it didn't have to come out like this. Give my best to Jake, will you?"

Elizabeth:" Go to hell! And with that, Elizabeth stormed out. How could she entrust her son with a man like Andre? The guilt was eating her up. She felt as if she couldn't win. First she wanted to deny Jake was experiencing any difficulties and that's why she didn't get him help. Then, when she decided to do the right thing and get him help, it now backfired thanks to Andre. Well, she knew of a good therapist if Jake started to regress, which she was suspicious of. She would contact Dr. Colins if needed.

Jason rode his bike to Sonny and carly's. He was really happy that he was the one who was Jason. Not that he didn't mind if Drew was Jason, but why did he have all of his memories intact while Drew didn't remember anything? Now, it all made sense thanks to Andre. He wanted to tell Sonny and carly the good news, even though they already knew. As soon as they came in, he sat them down.

Jason:" sonny, carly, the DNA test came back. Elizabeth put a rush on it, and it's confirmed that I'm Jason."

Carly screamed and ran into his arms. She was so happy.

Carly:" Yay! I knew it! I mean, it was probably good that you got the DNA test, but I knew it was you from the moment I saw you!. We need to celebrate, don't we sonny. Our Jason's home and now , it's confirmed! So, what does that mean for you and Sam?"

Jason (sadly):" well, for now, she's chosen to be with drew.

Carly:" What? Are you fricking kidding me? Come on Jason! She can't choose someone she doesn't know. I'll put a stop to that right now. Jason, she knows she wants to be with you. Maybe, she's scared. Okay. I'll give her until New Years, and if she hasn't decided to choose you, then, she's making a big mistake."

Jason:" carly, right now, we need to let Sam deal with this however she knows how. If she's happy with the family she's created with Drew, whether he thought he was me or otherwise, I'm not going to interfere with that. She's happy, so let her be happy. If she decides she wants to be with me, she can talk to me about it."

Carly:" But Jason, I'm your best friend. I'm always gonna have your back. I've seen the two of you together, and yes, Sam and I haven't always gotten a long, but we did come to an understanding after you died. So, I can tell her when she's making a mistake, but because I'm so happy to have you back, I won't do anything. I love you."

Jason:" I love you too Carly and I know you always have my back, just like I have yours. It's good to be home."

Sonny (bringing out drinks for all of them):" I'd like to propose a toast. To Jason's return. I hope eventually once you've had time to adjust, you'll come back to work for me, and you will always be part of our family no matter what. To friends and family."

(Sonny, Carly and Jason at the same time):" Here Here."

On the way home, Drew and Sam were quiet the whole time they were driving home. They got home and Sam began to speak.

Sam:" Drew, You okay? I know what happened is a real shock, but I'm gonna help you. We're gonna help reclaim your life, and no matter what happens, we'll get through this together. Jason's memories or not, as I said before, I love you. There are things I'm gonna need to work out with Jason, but he's my past and you're my future. I love you, and want to be with you."

Drew (feeling still very upset about everything that went on today and not really sure how to take Sam's affections):" Are you sure? The only thing I'm sure that I'd like to do right now after I hold my baby is one of my favorite memories that we shared as Sam and Jason. Can we play Dominos and Tiquila and get Chinesefood?"

Sam:" Absolutely! I'll order the food and there's still some beer in the fridge. I love you Drew. It's gonna take time to get used to calling you that, but look. It's getting easier already the more I say it."

Drew (happier now):" Thanks Sam. I love you too."

That night, Elizabeth finally returned home looking exhausted and drained. Franco noticed her expression right away and went over to her. He had just gotten through eating pizza with the boys and heated her up two slices.

Franco:" Elizabeth, hey. Everything okay? Don't worry. The boys are playing video games. God! I love them. We have so much fun."

Elizabeth:" That's great Franco. I know you have fun with the boys and they adore you too."

Franco:" well, let's put your feet up and let me take care of you. You look upset and I want to help you."

Elizabeth:" Franco, I don'-"

Franco (interrupting her):" Nope, it's settled. You're gonna sit on the couch and eat your pizza, and then, I'm gonna draw you a bubble bath and give you a glass of wine okay? Don't argue with me because that's gonna make me want to help you even more."

Elizabeth knew that she couldn't argue with him, so she decided to eat the pizza. After eating pizza, Franco gave her a bubble bath and participated in the washing process. He wanted to do more, but he knew Elizabeth wasn't in the mood. Franco felt the tension in her body start to decrease, and he knew his job was done. He allowed her the privacy to get dressed for bed, and he went to pour the glasses of wine for them.

Franco:" Okay Elizabeth, what's going on."

Elizabeth:" well, we finally know who's Jason, and andre had a lot to do with it."

Franco:" really? That's awesome, so if we know who's Jason, then, who's the other guy?"

Elizabeth:" well, let me put it to you this way. Franco, you know who's Jason just by what happened to you."

Franco:" Yeah I do. I mean look at the way I was attacked. I mean my jaw and nose were broken and I almost died because he strangled me. So great. Who's the other guy?"

Elizabeth (sighing deeply in exhaustion and anger):" Well, his name is Andrew Cane, or for short, Drew. Drew is a navy seal."

Suddenly Franco came to a realization and a question.

Franco:" drew… Drew. Oh my God! Wait! I wonder if it's the Drew that… Wait. But my mother told me that he was my imaginary friend. I pushed him down the stairs when we were kids. We were playing, and… Oh God! That was obviously before my tumor, and that means that I must have been abused as a kid, right? I mean, if therapy's taught me anything, it's that. I mean trauma and evil just don't come from out of no where. I've been trying to examine my past, and now, it all makes sense. Wow!"

Elizabeth:" Franco, that's great, and maybe there is some truth to that, but I don't know. My biggest concern right now is Jake. I trusted this man to take care of him for therapy, and he told us today that he did some memory mapping on both men where one man was programmed to be Jason, and Jason was sedated and brought to Russia? I mean, who does that, and to make matters worse, Helena had a lot to do with all of this. Also, the really shocking thing is that Jason and Drew are twins. I haven't quite figured that out, but I'm hoping that Sam and Spinelli will be able to because I've known Jason for a long time, and there was never any mention from Alan and Monica about a twin brother."

Franco:" Elizabeth, none of this was your fault. You had no idea that a therapist who was helping Jake was capable of memory mapping, which in a weird way sounds kind of cool, but still. You had no way of knowing that. You did nothing wrong. This was a situation that no one had control over except Andre and Helena."

Elizabeth (starting to cry for the pain this will cause Jake):" How do I tell Jake that the man who he's believed to be his father all this time really is his uncle and that his real father is a mobster, and not only that, he hasn't even begun to remember what happened to him on the island. How's he gonna put all of this together? What if he gets worse and completely shuts down? I won't be able to take that."

Franco (hugging Elizabeth as she began to sob):" Shhh, it's okay. Right now, I think it might be best if we don't tell Jake. There's a time and a place for it, and you need time to sourt all of this out before telling him. Let's give it a few days until you're ready okay? Right now, you need to rest. I'll support you whatever you decide to do about this and when you decide to tell Jake. We can do it together."

Elizabeth (calming down now):" Thanks Franco. I love you. Goodnight."

Franco:" goodnight. Just close your eyes and go to sleep. I'll put the kids to bed okay? Shhhhh"

As Elizabeth began to drift off, her last thoughts were of Franco. How could she get so lucky? How could she have a man who knew exactly what she needed when she didn't always believe it or want to let anyone see her vulnerable side? Franco had this way of always getting to the heart of what she was thinking when she didn't want to let anyone else see it. Maybe, it was experience, or his therapy? She didn't know, but whatever it was, she loved him inside and out, and she loved how he was able to take care of her. She knew with how she felt in this moment, she would face this head on and would tell Jake when she felt it was right.

Author's note:

I hope you liked this chapter. I wanted to avoid any more confusion, because one of the reviewers got confused as to who was Jason, and who was drew. I did it on purpose. I feel like a good soap writer will have written it to have some confusing parts and would get messier and messier until the truth was revealed. I'm writing this again how I would have wanted to see it play out. I will go and reply to the reviews shortly. Thanks for the feedback. The next chapter will cover more information about Jason and Drew finding out they're twins and then Jake finding out, just for a little preview.
