It wasn't long before Sam found Monica who had agreed to run the DNA test for her. The only thing was that Sam had to tell Jason, so they could get permission to run Lexi's DNA against Jason's DNA. Plus Sam didn't want to hide this from Jason because he had been lied to enough in the last year or so. While Monica sat with Lexi in her office; Sam waited for Jason in the cafeteria.
"Sam, what's wrong," Jason asked as he came up to her.
"Sit, please," Sam motioned to the seat in front of her.
"It's that bad," Jason questioned as he sat down.
"I'm not sure... Yes and no both possibly," Sam answered his question.
"Talk to me," Jason encouraged as he took her by the hand.
"A young woman came into town looking for her biological parents... A lot of the info could possibly point to her parents," Sam started to explain.
"But," Jason said feeling there was a but.
"There isn't anything concrete to say for sure yet. Her name is Lexi Cullen, and there is a possibility she's your daughter... Your daughter with Robin," Sam told him after a minute.
"You want to run a DNA test," Jason stammered as he thought about it.
"Yes, I do," Sam agreed with him.
"She'd be fifteen almost sixteen," Jason told Sam doing the math in his head.
"I know... She claims to be seventeen, but I knew that it could be a lie. However she is old enough to consent to a DNA test," Sam shrugged slightly.
"Let's go, I want to see her and I want to know if she is," Jason motioned for Sam to take him too her.
With that Sam led the way to Monica's office, and came in as Monica was finishing taking Lexi's blood.
"Lexi, this is my husband Jason. Jason, this is Lexi Cullen," Sam made introduction as she and Jason came in the room.
"Hi," Lexi smiled shyly at Jason.
"It's nice to meet you, Lexi," Jason replied politely.
"I need to borrow him," Monica butted in wanting to know if this girl was her grandchild.
"Hurt much," Sam asked eyeing Lexi as Monica did her thing.
"Not really... It was," Lexi said shaking her head.
"Fine," Sam finished before Lexi could.
"Yeah," Lexi agreed with Sam.
"If the test comes back; then you can thank him for that too. It's his go to answer," Sam looking back and forth from Jason to Lexi.
"Nonna said I was an old soul who just got more so every day," Lexi replied with a wistful look in her eyes.
"She sounds special," Sam mused softly knowing how much Lila had meant to Jason.
"She took me in when my adopted parents had better things to do," Lexi whispered almost.
"Does she know you're here in Port Charles?" Sam asked carefully.
"Actually I need to step out to call her. I shouldn't of let the time get away from me," Lexi scolded herself as she got up and left the room pulling out her cellphone.
As Sam looked back toward Jason; she notice Monica had already left.

When Lexi came back none of them said anything; as minutes turned into hours of waiting for the results. Sam knew that Lexi might be lying about her age, but she sure wasn't lying about her grandmother. The way Lexi had talked about the woman spoke volumes to say the least. At the sound of the door opening they all looked to see Monica who was holding a yellow envelope in her hands.
"Well," Lexi asked as Monica closed the door behind her.
Slowly Monica took the test out reading once to herself first.
"With 99.999% accuracy, Lexi Cullen is the biological daughter of Jason Morgan," Monica read the results aloud.
"You're fifteen going on sixteen not seventeen," Jason said to Lexi rather bluntly.
"My Nonna is really sick, and she's all I've really had in this world. I figured if I could find my birth family; maybe it would give her some peace. She worries too much about what will happen after she's gone," Lexi choked on the word gone.
"Why lie about it?" Jason asked softly.
"Because people don't like helping fifteen year old kids; even if they have money. I would do anything for my Nonna. I spent about a month in London and Paris before coming here," Lexi tried to explain.
"For tonight I want you to stay with me and Sam because I believe you've been alone enough. Then we can make arrangements to take you to your grandmother. From there we'll see where to go from there," Jason told her softly.
"I really don't want to be any more trouble than I already am," Lexi replied softly; as they got up.
"It's no problem at all... Plus your little brothers will be thrill to meet you," Sam welcomed the girl warmly.
She didn't understand how Robin could do this to Jason, but she understood what it was like to feel unwanted like that.
"Lexi, I would like you to meet Monica officially because she is not only a doctor but your grandmother too. This is my mom," Jason made introductions.
"Could I give you a hug? My son isn't big on them, so I understand if it's too soon," Monica rambled a bit as she was taken by Jason calling her mom.
"It's alright. My Nonna is a hugger too. She never asks, but just does a lot," Lexi smiled warmly.
With that Monica went in wrapping her newest granddaughter into a hug for a few moments.
"You look so much like your father," Monica mused as she saw her son so clearly in the girl.
"At least I look like someone now," Lexi whispered almost.
"Let me give Carly a ring to have Lexi's stuff brought over," Jason excused himself.
"Why do I get the feeling he has to talk to her more than about my stuff?" Lexi asked after Jason left.
"Because let say that your biological mother and Carly have a complicated relationship. To be point blank Carly is going to be furious that you were kept from Jason. Also Carly is Jason's best friend since before I knew him," Sam tried to explain without getting into the details.

The car ride was quiet to say the least as Sam watched Jason and Lexi both. It was hard to imagine anyone who could just go without talking like Jason. She knew that they would talk eventually about things. When they got to the door of the penthouse Jason and Sam went in followed by Lexi. Danny ran towards his parents leaving Michael, Jake, and the movie behind.
"Who's she," Danny asked as Michael turned the movie off.
"Her name is Lexi... I found out today that she's your sister," Jason explained to Danny.
"Want to meet our brother Jake and our uncle Michael," Danny asked taking Lexi by the hand.
"Sure," Lexi smiled as Danny led her over to his brother and uncle.
"Hi I'm Michael," Michael introduced himself.
"Lexi," Lexi held out her hand which Michael shook.
"Hi," Jake said as he looked the older girl over.
"I bet this is strange getting a new sister," Lexi tried to engage Jake.
"No," Jake shrugged as he walked by her and went upstairs.
"Sorry, Jake's having a rough time right now. His mom is away for a while," Sam explained apologetically.
"She went to a special hospital to get better," Danny told Lexi softly.
"How about Chinese cause I'm starving," Sam asked Lexi.
"Sure, no squid," Lexi replied causing Sam to laugh.
"Daughter like father," Sam shook her head.
"Want to see my room," Danny asked leading her off to the stairs before she could answer.
"I'll be back," Lexi replied as she looked back to Sam and Jason for a second.
Danny insisted on showing Lexi every book, toy, and every inch of his room. He remindrd Lexi of Sam who was trying to make her feel welcome. This was the family she wanted growing up as a kid. Even though everything wasn't perfect Lexi saw two loving parents who adored their little boys. Even Jake was loved by Sam who wasn't even his mother. Hearing something in the room next to Danny; Lexi excused herself to go check it out. Hesitantly Lexi entered the room to find Jake crying on his bed, so she went out placing her hand lightly on his back.
"I'm fine," Jake choked out in tears as he looked her way.
"No, you're not. I know you miss your mom," Lexi replied in a whisper.
"How," Jake asked her.
"Well my adoptive mom was sick too, but instead of getting help she would just disappear. I missed her too," Lexi told Jake as he sat up.
"Did your mom come back," Jake asked her wiping at the tears.
"Sometimes for a while...," Lexi was honest with him.
"I want Sam," Jake told Lexi in an almost whisper.
"Alright, I'll go get her for you," Lexi agreed as she knew he needed to talk it out.
"Thank you," Jake said as Lexi left the room.
With one last look Lexi headed downstairs to find Sam on the phone, so she waited until Sam hung up the phone.
"I think Jake needs to talk to you. He's upset about his mom," Lexi told her softly.
Not saying a word Sam went upstairs leaving Lexi where she stood.

Thirty minutes later when the food arrived neither Sam nor Jake came down to eat with Danny, Jason, or Lexi. She could tell Sam was a really good mom to Danny and Jake both. Still Lexi knew what it was like to want and need a mother that wasn't there when you needed her to be. Picking at her food Lexi watched the stairs for them to come down to join them at some point.
"He's out," Jason said as Danny had fallen asleep on the couch.
"He's sweet," Lexi replied as she looked at the little boy.
"Jake's going to be okay... His mom is just going through a rough patch," Jason said as he could see the concern.
"At least she's getting help," Lexi shrugged a little.
"Was it your mom," Jason asked seeing there was something there.
"When I was little it was fun or seemed fun. When I got about five she started to disappear for hours at first, then days, and finally weeks at a time. My adoptive father was never around much ever because he was off here or there doing whatever it was. He put me with his mother after my mom got bad enough. A child was never in his plans nor was a very mentally sick wife. One day she just stop coming back at all... The last time I saw her was when I was ten for a few minutes. Nonna tried to find her," Lexi explained as she looked down at her hands.
"I'm sorry you had to go through that because I would of kept you if I had known about you," Jason replied softly.
"I can see that you mean that... Nonna says everything has a purpose, and works out as it should work out," Lexi sighed as moved her mouth side to side slightly.
"No child should have to carry that kind of burden," Jason reached out taking her by the hand.
"I should get to bed," Lexi said as she gently pulled her hand free.
"Sam and I are going to take Danny to our room. He's got a twin bed," Jason started to explain.
"It's fine... Thank you," Lexi excused herself going upstairs.
Watching the stairs Jason tried to understand why Robin had done this. He needed answers to why she had taken all this time from him. Silently Jason got to his feet, and pulled out his cell phone.
"Jason," came Sonny's voice on the other end of the line.
"I need you to find Robin for me," Jason said not about to mix words.
"Carly just told me about your daughter," Sonny shook his head not understanding his old friend's actions.
"It's slow going... This is the last thing I'd expect from the Robin I knew," Jason said hoping Sonny would get it.
"Are you remembering," Sonny asked hopeful to have his friend back.
"Not everything, but it's coming together," Jason replied as memories played in his mind of Sonny and him.
"Man, I'll take what I can get," Sonny smiled as he could hear the difference in Jason's voice; now that he was listening for it.
As Jason turned he spotted Sam coming down the stairs.
"I got to go," Jason said as he hung up with Sonny.

AN: I had no ideal when I started there would be a Lexi, or that her adoptive mom would be mentally ill either. This just happened when I was writing for Lexi. In a way it's a nodded to a movie I really like and I noticed this after writing it down...
