It was a nice clean up day in the SRU. Everyone except for Ed were in the locker room cleaning up the weapons. Ed was going to be in late because of family problems at his house. Jules, Spike, and Wordy were in the weapons cage cleaning while Sam was on the bench reading the paper.
"You okay there Sam?" Spike asked
"All good. Thank you for asking." Sam said
"Good because I will be laughing my head off when I win the gun range practice next week and you will be in here and not us."
"That will be the day."
Wordy looked around and saw no Jessica in site
"Hey Jules. Where's Jessica?" Wordy asked
"Well she been acting weird these past few weeks. So the boss told her to take some time off. So she is with Jayden on a trip." Jules said
"What kind of trip?" Sam asked
"On a trip to Boston, MA."
Spike looked up and had that jealous look on his face
"She's in the United States? In Boston?" Spike asked
"Yeah. Jayden won some Boston Red Sox tickets so he asked her to go with him for a few days. It should clear her head a little bit."
"She's lucky. Also very lucky to have a guy like Jayden." Wordy said
"Yeah I'm very happy for her." Jules said
"Me too. Oh missed a spot there Spike." Sam added
Spike went to clean up the spot on the floor
"Laugh it up tough guy. Laugh it up." Spike said
Then out of no where Jessica's locker opens letting everything fall on the floor
"Ah man. Sometimes she always forgets to close it wrong." Jules said
"It's okay I got it." Sam said
Sam got up and picked up all the paperwork and put it back in Jessica's locker. Then he saw something that caught his eye. His hair brush that has been missing in his locker that was near the results to the paternity test. Looking back to his team mates to see if no one was looking which they weren't he grabbed the results and his brush and hid it in his pockets. Then he closed the locker.
"Sam everything okay?" Wordy asked
"Yeah I just need to head to the restroom" Sam said
Sam headed towards the restroom leaving everyone with concern looks on their faces. He locked the door and looked at the envelope. It said on the front it was a lab for paternity testing. This made him wonder what Jessica was doing there. He hated doing this but he opened the envelope and read the results.
Comb and Saliva- 95% DNA match

-Biological Match
DNA match conform Sam Braddock is Jessica Callaghan biological father
"Oh my god"
Sam looked up for a minute and looked at the results again. How could this be? He couldn't remember ever seeing Jules in his teen years. Sam got out his cell phone and called the number to the pharmacy. He waited for someone to answer.
"Hello" the doctor said over the phone
"Hi my name is Sam Braddock. My daughter, Jessica Callaghan, came in and did a paternity test on me and her and I was wondering if the test results could be wrong." Sam asked
"I remember the name. Your daughter came in with some samples of you and her but there is no way the results were false. DNA never lies. Any other information I would need your daughter's permission to give you your answers. So everything else you need to figure out on your own."
"Thank you"
Sam hung up on the phone and dropped it on the floor. He fell on the bathroom floor and started crying.
"Oh my god. Jessica." Sam cried
He needed to talk to her when she got back from her trip in Boston. How did she figure all this out on her own and why did she hide this from him and Jules? For now he wouldn't tell Jules about the results because his guess was she didn't know either. But right now more than ever all he wanted was his daughter back.
~Flashpoint~
The chapter was short I know but there was no Jessica in this one so I wanted it to be about Sam finding out that Jessica was his daughter. So I hope you guys like it anyway plus "Unconditional Love" was an important episode to me because it was all about discovery. The team found out the subject had autism and being someone who has that made me feel great that a lot of people care for other people with that disorder. So made this chapter was all about discovery too. Oh and I also love the Boston Red Sox!
