Kudos to ARSpunky to help me with this and listen to my neurosis

As soon as he had shouted for his father LJ put his hands up to cover his mouth but it was too late. From the bedroom the guys heard the soft wailing of baby Amy. Lincoln hurried to pick up his baby girl and tried to calm her down. LJ took the time to look through all the pictures and paper clippings in the folder.

Wow, he really is obsessed. And I thought it was an exaggeration.

After a while the baby had calmed down again and Lincoln could find out why his oldest had felt the need to shout suddenly.

"So why did you feel the need to wake up your sister?" Linc asked when he reentered the living room. The younger man had laid out all the pieces of paper on the coffee table and stared on them. "You wanted me to come and look at your uncle's obsession?"

"No, I know her! This is Sara!" LJ replied.

"I know that that is Sara. She was my doc too!" Lincoln gave back somewhat stressed.

"No you don't understand. That is Sara, my paramedic's instructor!"

"What? Are you sure?" Linc sputtered out in shock.

"I am sure. She looks just like her!"

"But it can't be Veronica knows Doctor Tancredi and she would have recognized her! It's just not possible" Lincoln says and shakes his head.

"It's been years Dad. Even I remember seeing pictures of Doctor Tancredi back then, but I didn't even put two and two together."

"That's crazy. So you're saying that the Sara you and Veronica have been talking about for weeks is the same Sara that Michael has obviously been pinning over for years?" Lincoln asks unbelieving.

"Yes!" LJ replies confidently. "Even Vee said Sara looked familiar she just couldn't place her." The younger man shot back and Lincoln took some time to think about all the facts he had right now. After a couple of minutes Lincoln got up and said

"We will talk about this tomorrow and ask Veronica if she thinks this is Sara too. But you can't say a word to Michael because if she isn't the same person but only a look – a - like he is going to be crushed! Understood?"

"Okay!" LJ signaled and went to his room. Lincoln let out a breath after the door had closed and then started to clear the table.

What if it is really Sara? How is she going to react?

Veronica and Sara had fallen asleep in the living room. After the first movie they had decided to watch reruns of Friends. They were awakened by the sun shining in between the blinds. Sara got up and made some coffee. Both women just had settled down at the kitchen table when Veronica's phone started ringing.

"That probably is my husband freaking out because I never came home last night!" she says with a laugh and grabs her bag to answer the phone.

"Hey!"

"Where are you? Are you okay?"

"Yes calm down. I am still at Sara's; we fell asleep watching DVD's. We are having breakfast and then I am coming home."

"Okay see you then."

LJ just emerged from his bedroom and rubbed his eyes. "Morning, where is Vee?"

"Morning! Vee is still at Sara's. We'll talk as soon as she arrives." Every following conversation was interrupted by the phone. "I'll get that and you help yourself to a pot of coffee!" Linc directs and picks up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hey Linc it's me."

"Mike, what's up?" Lincoln sputtered out.

"Everything okay? You sound weird."

"Everything is okay Vee just didn't come home last night and I was worried."

"Is she okay?"

"Yeah she spent the night at Sara's. Apparently they fell asleep watching DVD's. Did you want something?"

"Oh yeah right. I have to go out of town for a week so I can't make it to dinner tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know."

"Ah okay when do you leave?"

That will give us enough time to find out if LJ is really right.

"My flight leaves in two hours so I'll see you next week! Say bye to Vee for me!"

"Will do, bye!" with that the guys finished up their conversation and Lincoln started to prepare the bottle for Amy. Other than that Linc was just anxious for Veronica to come back home so he could be sure if what LJ was saying and thinking was true.

"I feel so bad to just leave you with the dishes…" Veronica wanted to apologize but Sara wouldn't let her.

"You have a baby who needs you. Don't worry. I'll see you the day after tomorrow at the gym?"

"Yes I'll see you there!" and twenty minutes later Veronica stepped into her and Lincolns home. "I am back!" she made herself known.

"Thank god you are home!" Lincoln said after a little kiss hello.

"I wasn't even gone that long. What happened?"

"I can't tell you but I can show you!" Linc said and pulled Veronica in the living room. She sits down on the sofa and waits for her husband to find his voice but he doesn't speak; instead he is passing her a folder.

"What is this?" Veronica asks confused.

"Open it and tell me what you see!" Lincoln pleads with her.

"I don't understand… This is Michaels file. Why do you have it?" Linc recognizes that Veronica isn't going to look into the folder any time soon and so he grabs it and takes out a few pictures.

"Michael forgot it here last night and LJ looked at it. He said that he knows the doc." He explains. When the first two pictures are on the table he hears a gasp of air from his wife.

"Stop it. This is impossible!" Veronica stammers.

"So it is her?"

"Yeah I mean she has shorter hair now and she dyed it but yes my new friend is or better was Dr. Sara Tancredi or her twin." The last part comes a little bit worried.

"Did your friend ever mention siblings?"

"No not really. And her being the Sara would explain why she seemed so familiar but we need to be sure."

"And how do you propose we are going to find out if she is who we think she is?" Lincoln asks and Veronica has to laugh. "What?" the confused man asks.

"You just sounded like a line out of 'Jesus Christ Superstar', but to answer your previous question; I am going to tell her who I am and if she really is or was Sara Tancredi she is going to react." After a short pause Veronica remembers what she has seen in Sara's apartment. She slaps a on her forehead. "I am so stupid. I would bet money on it that she is it!"

"Why?"

"She has an origami rose on one of her cupboards and she told me she got it from a guy a few years back but apparently this guy hurt her pretty bad and she relapsed."

"Relapsed? You mean drug relapse?"

"Yes she overdosed in the aftermath of some guy playing her pretty bad. She said something about him having just used her as a mean to an end…"

"Wow sounds pretty bad. Oh and before I forget it; Michael said bye he has to leave town for the week."

"Oh so he isn't going to make dinner? But that is good so we can find out if Sara is his Sara and more importantly if she even wants to see him ever again."

"Ok so I told LJ not to ask her anything and to let you do the talking and he agreed reluctantly."

"He just wants to see his uncle happy and we are going to help if we can, but for now I just want to relax and you have to go to work." With that Veronica all but pushed her husband out of the door.

Any thoughts?
