"Francis, have you told him, yet?" Henry asked his son when the commissioner came home from the hospital to get changed before he would head back to his office. The commissioner has spent the night at the hospital with Jamie as he did every night since he found out that Jimmy Riordan was his long lost son and that he was taken by the Sanfinos when he was just a little boy. Naturally, Frank worried that the Sanfinos might try something, and therefore he decided that he was the one to watch after Jamie at night when it was most probable that the Cavazzerre family might try something. Besides, it gave Frank the opportunity to spend some time with his son. The only problem was that Jimmy still didn't know that Frank Reagan was his father.

Frank just shook his head. "I don't quite know how to be quite honest, pops," he admitted. Frank poured himself a large cup of coffee. He hasn't slept much during the last couple of days and he could really use some good rest, but not before he will make sure that Jamie was safe and not before he would tell him that he was his father.

"You have to tell him, Francis!" Henry urged his son. "Because sooner or later the boy will find out anyway!"

"I know that, pop. I'm just afraid how he might react." The younger man admitted concerned. He would have never guessed that he would find himself in such a position. There were so many times during the last week when he wanted to tell Jamie that he was his son, but then Jamie still wasn't quite alright after he was shot by an unidentified perp. Besides, as he said to pops, he feared how his son might react.

"Francis, he is your son." Henry reminded him kindly. He knew well what his son and daughter-in-law have been through since their youngest boy disappeared many years ago. Plus, Henry too lost a son once. "It might be a shock for him at first for sure, but he will come around. You will see."

"I hope you are right, pops." Frank nodded his head as he was going through the list of things he needed to take care of once he will arrive at the office today. "Because I would hate to be the one who crushes his world. He is a fine young man, and I really hate the idea that I will be the one to shatter his world." The commissioner admitted.

"Come on, Francis," his father looked at him as if he couldn't believe his own ears. "It's not like you have sent him to live with those criminals!" The former commissioner pointed out.

Frank just nodded his head.

"But I will be the one who will make his life turn upside down," he added with a sad voice.

"Hey, kid," Danny greeted Jimmy once he saw his younger brother was awake. He knew he promised his dad that he won't tell Jimmy anything about who he was, that was his dad's job, but he couldn't resist to use the opportunity and try to make things a little bit better between him and Jamie since the two of them got on a wrong foot primarily thanks to Danny. But Jammie was his brother and he wanted to make things better between them before the kid would find out from their father who he really was.

"Detective," Jimmy uttered tiredly. He was much better after he was admitted to the hospital about a week ago, but he was still a bit weak. "Did you come here to take my statement?" Jimmy guessed, because, frankly, why would detective Reagan come here anyway? "Because I already told your father and Sergeant Renzulli everything I knew."

"Nah," Danny just shook his head. "I just came to see how you are. The commissioner asked me to watch after you, so when I saw you were awake, I thought I might just come in and see how you were doing." His brother explained.

"I guess I'm fine," Jimmy uttered neutrally. It wasn't a lie, physically he was doing much better, but in his mind, frankly, he didn't quite know what was happening around him. He couldn't get his head around the fact that the Sanfinos, his own family, would order a hit on him. That didn't make any sense. Naturally, he was well aware of the fact that uncle Phil wasn't quite thrilled that he and Frank Reagan were getting closer, but then it was him who told Jimmy to meet with the commissioner in the first place. Besides, Jimmy always thought that he made it quite clear that his loyalty was first and foremost to his family. So why would uncle Phil want him dead?

"Something on your mind, kid?" Detective Reagan asked him concerned when he saw concern clearly written all over Jimmy's face. Jimmy completely forgot that he was in the room with him.

"Nothing, it's just, I can't believe what your father told me that my family is behind the attack on me. I mean, they are the only family I have ever known..." Suddenly his voice betrayed him as tears started coming to his eyes. He tried to swallow them the best he could. He couldn't allow himself to cry like a baby in front of Detective Reagan.

Danny could see the pain in his brother's eyes. He wasn't sure what he could do or say just now without telling Jimmy that it were the Reagans, not the Sanfinos, who were his true family and that they are here to love him and protect him. Instead, he could just squeeze his brother's shoulder and whisper: "I'm sorry, I can only imagine how hard it must be for you." He uttered. He wanted to take Jamie in his arms and tell him that everything will be alright because he is his older brother and he will protect him from everything bad, but he just couldn't. At least until their father would tell Jamie the truth. So he just stood there and watched Jamie's misery and in his head, he swore that he was going to kill Phil Sanfino for causing their family so much pain.

***BB***

"Hey," Frank Reagan greeted Jimmy as he walked into his hospital room. It was late in the evening, but Jimmy was still awake. "I brought you something to read if you are interested." He told his son as he handed him a decent pack of car magazines he purchased for Jamie at the nearby newsstand.

"Oh, wow, this seems pretty interesting," Jimmy replied enthusiastically as he took the magazines from the commissioner. "Thank you, Frank! But it really wasn't necessary." The young man uttered.

"I wanted to do something nice for you." The commissioner shrugged his shoulders. "Besides, I'm not the one who has to lay in bed all day long."

"So, how do you feel today?" The commissioner asked the younger man seriously as he took his coat off and took the seat next to Jamie's bed.

"I'm alright, but really want to go home," Jimmy admitted.

"I think I get that," Frank replied as he gave his son a kind smile. He couldn't describe the love he instantly felt for his long-lost child. It was like there was a piece of him that was missing for years and now the pieces came back together. The only thing he regrated was that Mary and Joe did not live long enough to see this day come true. Perhaps, this was the moment when he should tell Jimmy who his family really was.

"Jimmy, there is something I need to tell you, and I'm not going to lie to you, I'm a bit afraid how you might react because, frankly, my dear boy, it might be a little bit shock for you. But I want you to know that no matter what happens, we will get through it!" The commissioner assured his son as he gave a kind smile. He didn't want to scare Jamie, but he had to start somehow. And like pops said, he better do it now than later.

"Alright," Jimmy swallowed nervously, wondering what the commissioner wanted to tell him.

"Jimmy," Frank started carefully, "there is a reason, why I didn't want the Sanfinos anywhere near you during the last couple of days, and it's not just because I believe they are behind the attack on you."

"Ok," Jimmy mumbled neutrally. He wasn't really sure where the commissioner was going with all of this.

"Do you remember how you once asked me about my youngest son Jamie?" Frank asked his son.

Jimmy just nodded his head.

"Well, the truth is that I have believed that my youngest boy was most likely dead since he disappeared many years ago when he was just a toddler. Long story short, as it turned out my son has been alive all those years and Phil Sanfino knew where he was."

Jimmy just looked at Frank, not sure what the commissioner was trying to tell him.

"Jimmy, you are that son. Your name is not Jimmy Riordan but Jamie Reagan." Frank revealed to Jimmy who looked at him shocked.

"But that's not possible!" Jimmy whispered. "My parents have died when I was just a child." The young man protested. He couldn't get his head around the fact that Frank Reagan could be his father.

"Jamie, you have been abducted when you were just a little boy, of course, you don't remember any of it, but what I'm telling you is true. We can run a DNA test if you want, but you are my son." Frank repeated, not letting his sight off Jamie.

"But how?" Jimmy questioned. "When did you even get my DNA test?" The young man wondered.

"It's a standard procedure in homicide cases, and since the Sanfinos attempted to kill you, we had to run your blood and that's how we found a match…," Frank's voice died out. It wasn't any easier for him to get his head around the fact that his long-lost son was now sitting next to him.

"I'm sorry that we went behind your back, but if we didn't, I'm not sure if we would ever find out."

"But this doesn't make any sense. Why would the Sanfinos raised me like I was one of them?" Jimmy questioned. He couldn't believe that his whole life has turned into one big lie.

"I'm not sure, Jamie," the commissioner stated with a heavy heart. "I spoke to Phil Sanfino briefly and he said that he has done it to protect you, but my guess is that it was rather an act of revenge on me."

Jamie seemed confused as if he was trying to make sense out of everything Frank has just told him. The young man could feel tears coming into his eyes. All his life he has dreamed about meeting his parents one day and now his biological father was here, or at least his alleged father, and Jimmy didn't know how he should react. He was overwhelmed with emotions. He was confused, angry, sad…

He pulled the blanket up to his chin like he did when he was a kid and something was scaring him.

"Jamie?" Frank addressed him. "Are you quite alright?" He asked his son worriedly.

"Could you just leave me alone?" Jamie pleaded the commissioner suddenly.

Although Jamie's words were painful for Frank, the loving father knew that right now his son needed some space and therefore he was willing to give Jamie whatever he needed. They will have their moment later once Jamie will come around.

"Of course," Frank uttered. "I will come back tomorrow and we can talk more if you want." He gave Jamie one more loving look before he left the room, ready to give his son some space.
